Chapter 74 Slaanesh's Chosen
Chapter 74 Slaanesh's Chosen
"Zhao Guoqiang..."
Xu Yuan finally remembered what he had forgotten after the space battleship self-destructed!
He quickly took out his phone and called Zhao Guoqiang, who had come back from the dead.
fortunately……
Zhao Guoqiang had already died once.
But his phone number didn't change.
"Drip... drip... drip"
The call was quickly connected to Zhao Guoqiang's communication system.
"Feed? Make a wish, what's wrong?"
Zhao Guoqiang's voice rang out.
It's still an AI-synthesized voice, and you can't hear any emotional fluctuations.
"Um..." Xu Yuan felt uneasy and her scalp tingled. "General Zhao, where are you?"
"I'm at the Dragon Soul Squad base. The mech needs repairs, and the data from its first combat mission needs optimization. What's wrong?"
Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Zhao Guoqiang came back on his own...
However, Zhao Guoqiang's mention of body repair and data optimization piqued Xu Yuan's curiosity.
Xu Yuan glanced at Lao Xu and Xiao Meng, who were still preparing their speeches.
Since I don't have anything to do right now, I might as well go and take a look.
He was still very curious about Zhao Guoqiang's ability to be resurrected.
He was well aware of the power of his punch back then.
Even setting aside how Zhao Guoqiang survived, how did he escape the genocide infection?
"I'm fine, is it convenient for me to go take a look?"
Xu Yuan asked cautiously.
He wasn't afraid of anything else, but mainly afraid that it involved Zhao Guoqiang's privacy and would hurt his self-esteem.
"It's convenient, what's inconvenient about it?"
Zhao Guoqiang, on the contrary, was completely open and honest.
……
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yuan said goodbye to Lao Xu and Xiao Meng, and then went out.
This time, however, he did not choose to fly, but instead drove the Porsche sports car that Bevy had given him.
I wish that my current flying speed would far exceed the speed of a sports car at full power.
But driving through the streets and alleys allows Xu Yuan to experience the warmth of everyday life.
The current discussions in Star City still focus on wishing and superpowers, with everyone hoping to become a superhuman.
Ironically, people's impression of making a wish is mostly based on two characteristics: one is that it can fly, and the other is that it is accompanied by a sky full of black flames.
As for what a wish actually looks like, many people have no idea.
In reality, most of the time, what people need is just a spiritual symbol...
Fortunately, many people are unaware of his exact appearance, which saved Xu Yuan from a lot of unnecessary trouble.
They drove all the way to the Dragon Soul Squad's base.
Zhao Guoqiang had already given instructions, so Xu Yuan did not encounter any obstacles.
The Dragon Soul team member known as the Idea King led Xu Yuan directly into the core area of the base.
This place has been transformed into a research institute. Judging from the tight security and the equipment seen along the way, the research projects here are definitely not ordinary projects.
When Xu Yuan took the elevator down to the sixth basement level and passed through a door made of a special alloy, he saw Zhao Guoqiang once again.
The mecha was placed in the center of the hall, with various wires connected to it, and dozens of researchers were debugging data on computers.
However, unlike what Xu Yuan had seen before, the mecha's head was open, and it was completely empty...
Where's your brain?
Xu Yuan was taken aback.
"Make a wish, I'm here."
Just as Xu Yuan was lost in thought, Zhao Guoqiang's voice suddenly came from the glass jar next to him.
The glass jar contains some unknown liquid, and a completely dissected brain sits quietly inside.
"General Zhao..." Xu Yuan asked hesitantly. "Is this brain yours?"
"To be precise, this is who I am right now." The voice coming from the speaker remained calm, as if stating that the weather was nice today.
Make a wish: ...
Meanwhile, the researcher who was debugging the data completely ignored the conversation between the two, clearly already used to this scene.
Next, through casual conversation with Zhao Guoqiang, Xu Yuan finally learned what had happened to Zhao Guoqiang.
"So, the core of the infected's contamination lies in the alienation of bodily functions. As long as the brain remains intact, and the contaminated body is peeled away, consciousness can be restored?" Xu Yuan couldn't hide his shock. The four gods in his dreams, space battleships, humanoid mechs... He thought his knowledge was broad enough, but he never expected that cyber ascension would be presented to him in such a hardcore way.
Xu Yuan's face showed horror.
He felt he had already seen enough outrageous situations.
The Four Divine Beasts in a Dream, a Spaceship Capable of Space Travel, Humanoid Mechs...
But unexpectedly, Cyber Ascension also appeared!
Then we shouldn't be too far from conquering the universe!
"Yes." Zhao Guoqiang's voice was completely flat. "This technology is nearing completion. All members of the Dragon Soul team have signed an agreement, voluntarily joining the 'Dragon Soul Mech Project' if necessary. In the future, even if their bodies are infected during battle, as long as their brains remain..."
Make a wish: ...
Xu Yuan remained silent for a moment, his heart filled with nothing but admiration.
This is in light of the current infectious disease crisis overseas.
Good guy.
If this technology can be widely applied, the Four Gods will probably be in trouble!
An image flashed through his mind: the four gods painstakingly infected a human, only for the human to discard its physical form, donate a more powerful metallic body, and continue fighting, even replacing parts when damaged...
This is practically an immortal war god!
"I think the weapons and armor still need further optimization. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"How about... we try the bomb gun?"
……
Just as Xu Yuan was shocked by the mind-controlled mecha.
overseas.
A party is being held on a private island.
That's right.
Even at this critical juncture of the massive outbreak of infected individuals, parties are still being held here.
The fighting between the common people and the army had no effect on the wealthy and powerful people who had been invited.
After all, this was an invitation from Mr. Trump.
Upon arriving on the island, one is immediately greeted by an extremely extravagant party scene.
Everyone was dressed in suits and ties, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
They all looked like they were in charge of everything.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see the worry and anxiety between the brows of these social elites.
Currently, Great Xia has just taken the lead in establishing the Human Alliance. If nothing unexpected happens, the center of the world will shift from the United States in the future.
Most of their assets are in the United States.
Capital is profit-driven.
One of the reasons they came here today was to find out if Mr. Trump had any countermeasures. If not, in order to ensure that their assets did not shrink, or even increase further, they had to make plans as soon as possible...
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves.
A figure suddenly appeared in the center of the party.
No one noticed how he appeared; it was as if he had been standing there from the beginning.
When people saw his face clearly, the entire place fell into a deathly silence, followed by a collective gasp of astonishment.
hiss!
It's completely unreliable.
But to everyone's astonishment, unlike the image of an old politician in the past, his skin was smooth as jade, radiating an abnormal glow, and every move he made exuded a strange charm that made people dizzy and infatuated, with a pinkish-purple evil light dancing deep in his eyes.
"Welcome to my party, everyone!"
"Today, let's not talk business, let's just enjoy ourselves!"
Trump clapped his hands.
The building's main entrance behind him suddenly burst open!
Hundreds of men, women, and children walked out in a line with blank expressions, some even mixed with various kinds of livestock.
"Comfort is innocent! Please enjoy yourself!"
An aura of infatuation and passion suddenly erupted from him, instantly engulfing the otherwise normal party atmosphere...
