Now that the list has been submitted, the organization will select three suitable teams based on the lists submitted by the entire city tomorrow and send them to the natural gray area of the birth tunnel.
In Zion, several teams are preparing for this event.
Power Station
An ancient castle building inlaid with a large number of gears and constantly spewing steam.
Looking up, you can see the steel support at the top and a large number of exaggerated electric arcs jumping in a regular pattern.
No more than 15% of the gentlemen in Zion have ever seen the power station in its true form.
At this moment,
Ludwig Regan was deep inside the power station, in a private laboratory authorized by the stationmaster, making his final preparations to leave the city.
In his busy process,
A woman, with cables connected to many parts of her body and simple consciousness achieved through circuit boards and precise electric currents, was sitting beside an empty laboratory table, shaking her legs up and down.
The cables hanging at the base of the calves were also shaking.
Observing Reagan's busyness through his special eyes hidden by his black hair.
As she did not have a sound mind, she simply liked to look at this very familiar young man and did not think too much about it. Whenever Reagan was alone, she would run out alone to accompany him.
at this time,
Reagan watched the special device he had devoted years of research to, and used the robotic arm and adjustable magnifying glass installed on the laboratory bench to make the final adjustments to the device.
Before I knew it, eight hours had passed.
The woman still maintained the same leg-shaking and observation movements, even the amplitude of the leg swings was the same.
"Finally, we have to leave the city..."
After completing the debugging, Reagan first came to the woman who was both real and imaginary.
Through the weak electric arcs pulsating on his body surface, Reagan was able to come into direct contact with the woman and actually touch her body... or rather, only Reagan could touch her.
Reagan held the woman's hands and a tear fell on them.
"Fei Yin, please forgive my incompetence. With the research resources provided by the webmaster, I still cannot make any breakthrough in the reconstruction of "neural consciousness".
At least as a 'human' now, it is impossible for me to break through this technological barrier in a short period of time.
I need to take you to another twisted, hateful and dangerous gray area to find ancient relics that can break through the limits of human beings.
I promise you that you will never be harmed this time."
When Reagan finished speaking, the woman stopped shaking her legs.
Her body began to move slowly, making a sound like metal cables rubbing against bones.
The tongue with holes all over it was placed on the side of Reagan's ear, licking it gently, making intermittent electromagnetic interference sounds:
"Okay... let's go... together."
These words gave Reagan great encouragement, and he stood up and returned to the debugged device.
This was an amplification device that he designed personally, with the support of the webmaster, and an advance of ten years' salary.
An "exoskeleton ridge" with a metallic luster, silver-white all over, and like a centipede.
Each spine segment has a pair of soft metal appendages.
Once these appendages are inserted into the human body, they will automatically seek out the corresponding secondary nerves in the body for quick connection.
The biggest feature of the device is that it can convert individual bioenergy into electrical energy and store it, and it can also accurately and effectively regulate the transmission of electrical energy.
For example, after Reagan eats normally, part of the food energy that is being converted into glycogen will be converted into electrical energy and stored between the crests.
For example, part of the energy generated by Reagan when he walks and runs on a daily basis will be stored in the form of electricity.
Because the device resembles an arthropod insect, Reagan usually calls it the electric insect.
Due to the limitations of technology at the time,
This device, which is related to neural essence and requires the transformation of physical energy transmission, carries great risks during assembly. If the body has a strong rejection reaction, death may occur on the spot.
"Huh..."
He took a deep breath and reached out to turn the switch hidden in the inner layer of the outer ridge column.
Ka la kala!
The exoskeleton's spines began to move like a reptile, and each metal appendage began to hammer up and down, trying to insert itself into the host's body.
Reagan took off his shirt.
The exposed back has been pre-mapped with a "ridge point distribution map" using some kind of induction fluid. These points will assist the exoskeleton in precise insertion.
As he turned his body, he aligned his back with the activated exoskeleton spine.
The latter immediately detected the 'pairable point' and climbed up the back like a centipede.
Feeling the cold metal appendage scraping against his back, Ludwig Reagan showed no fear. He simply turned his head and smiled at the woman he loved most in his life.
"Give me a moment, it will be ready soon."
This smile did not last long.
The metal spine crawling on the back has stopped, and the appendages begin to find the corresponding point
Swish~ The cold metal spikes instantly pierced into the body and inserted into the spine, officially starting the "neural integration" and "energy storage transformation".
Ah! The heart-wrenching scream echoed in the laboratory.
Reagan almost fainted.
The sound of pain touched Fei Yin who was standing beside her, causing her simple mind to react. She slowly floated over and hugged Reagan in her arms.
Slowly,
As the pain in his back gradually subsided, the extremely tired Reagan slowly fell asleep in the embrace and fell on his side in the laboratory.
A strong and steady electric current flashed between the boy's eyes that were about to close.
…
Inside the College
As usual, Yi Chen reported to his mentor about the mission he had accepted in Gethsemane.
Chamberson naturally saw what his student was thinking. "Are you really not satisfied with the 'dual-attribute relic'?"
"Let's give it a try~ Just treat it as a mission trial. Wouldn't it be even better if we can really find the 'three-attribute relic'?"
“The Relic Incident is completely different from the missions you normally receive, because you need to access the passage and go to the truly dangerous area of the old world.
However, newly discovered channels like this one, which exist in the medium and rare gray areas, tend to be safer.
Moreover, the "leather content" of your clothing can further ensure your movement over there, and the supervisor will also determine whether you are qualified to pass through the passage.
Since you have decided to go, I won’t say much.
To be on the safe side, you should bring a tube of "Dusk Silver Liquid"... Anyway, one bottle is enough, and the remaining amount is enough for your subsequent use."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Chamberson, he followed him to Zed's paradise. Teacher Zed, who was always talkative, didn't say much this time, nor did he ask Yi Chen to have a special physical training before departure.
Instead, he gave a rare reminder:
"Explore carefully, and don't lose your 'eye' in there like I did."
In the remaining time, Yi Chen planned to do some preparatory work that could influence the progress of events.
Street Area-Temporary Accommodation Area
The corner room on the top floor is Jin's single-person rental house.
Strangely enough, Yi Chen, who was standing at the door, did not smell the usual smell of meat.
Dong Dong Dong~ I knocked on the door several times but no one answered.
"Well, it's almost ten o'clock in the evening. You haven't come back yet? Forget it, let's meet up tomorrow when we're notified."
Just as Yi Chen turned to leave,
Heavy footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Jin was seen walking up the stairs carrying a sack that was taller than her.
"Eh? William, why are you here... I thought I might be able to leave in time tomorrow. I used a lot of connections today to collect high-grade imitation meat, and I have to process it all tonight. You came at a really bad time."
"It's okay, we can talk while we do it."
Yi Chen's purpose is very clear.
He wanted to take advantage of this important time point on the eve of the incident to have an in-depth exchange with Jin and seriously discuss the upcoming relic incident, suppress Jin's crazy characteristics as much as possible, and reduce the instability of the team.
In a dark, small room filled with the smell of meat.
To reduce the dirtiness of clothing, coats were put away.
They were only wearing shirts, with the first and second buttons undone and sleeves folded above the elbows.
The palms sometimes overlap, sometimes cross,
They worked together to grind and press the meat into diced pieces on instruments filled with meat paste, trying to process all the imitation meat before dawn.
