In the dark resting area, intense white flames were ejected from the windows and doors of the movie theater. A few scythes still loitering outside the movie theater were frightened when they saw the scene in front of them. After a series of short, sharp whistles, they only dispersed.
A moment later, a figure emerged from the gradually fading darkness of the cinema. It was Feng. He was dressed neatly and looked just like when he first entered the cinema. But now, if one looked inside the cinema, he would see that it was filled with flesh and blood, and countless amounts of blood and meat paste had covered the floors, chairs, and walls.
Nearly a thousand bugs had died just like that, including hundreds of Green Whirlwinds. This was a bug swarm that required at least a hundred people to be annihilated, but it was destroyed by a single punch from Feng. If time could be reversed, the scene of the diamond fist releasing millions of beams of light was just like the Milky Way in outer s.p.a.ce. Those who saw it would never be able to forget it for the rest of their lives.
Maple sat down on a clean piece of ground outside the cinema. He took off his walker and placed it on the ground. At the same time, he fished out a pack of cigarettes. Maple took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. If one looked closely, it was not difficult to see that his fingers were trembling.
The tactical helmet lay beside it, and Maple smoked, the red glow of her cigarette flickering in the darkness. Once in a while, Maple would take out his cigarette, so that the tip of the cigarette would emit a bright red ribbon.
How long has it been?
In Feng"s blank mind, this question suddenly appeared. He looked at his right hand and then gave a helpless smile. At this moment, in the darkness, he would occasionally think back to that time.
That was seven years ago, and it was also the day Feng"s consciousness would awaken.
The maple had awoken in a green sea. It was a large amount of culture fluid, directly providing Feng with all the nutrients she needed to sustain her life through her pores. On Feng"s body, there were nearly a hundred data transmission lines connected to his body. All kinds of data about his body"s condition were fed back to the information terminal. After waking up, Maple had instinctively used his consciousness to scan these data transmission lines, immediately intercepting countless of his own data. This included a large number of genetic models, blood samples, and so on. He immediately knew that he was being studied like a mouse.
As for the awakened Feng, he only retained a portion of his normal human form. His hands, on the other hand, had transformed into gigantic diamond-like arms. However, in this pair of arms, Feng could also feel the blood flowing through the veins all over the diamond arm. Looking at them, he remembered the memory. At the same time, the name of a plan floated into his mind.
The G.o.d of Creation"s plan!
It was a crazy plan, crazy from a bunch of arrogant scientists. In Feng"s memory, this plan involved the partic.i.p.ation of almost all the countries, and had sent out elite soldiers from their respective armies because of the need of the plan. However, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in this plan, and only thirteen survived, successfully accommodating foreign genes and organs.
In the later stages of the plan, the thirteen artificial G.o.ds were forced to observe the ice. Until they had a way to control them, no country would ever release their most powerful biological weapons. Before he could come up with a solution, the day of the Cataclysm had arrived. As for the memories after that, they had all turned pitch black.
When he recalled the painful memories of Feng Feng, as well as the humiliation of being treated like a little mouse now, he lost all control over himself. The raging G.o.d of Manmade used his diamond arms to smash the organic gla.s.s cover of the tank which was as hard as steel plates. Stepping on the flowing green liquid culture, Feng Feng, who had broken countless transmission lines, jumped down from the ground.
At the same time that the base"s alarm went off, a squad of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, pointing their black guns at Feng. However, how could these weapons from the old era be a match for the divine weapons that were created by gathering all the resources in the world. In that b.l.o.o.d.y memory, even though Feng divided the memories into sections, every image he created had blood and corpses as its main theme.
By the time Feng regained his consciousness, all 2,135 people in the base had been killed by him. The ma.s.sacre that occurred at the base could be described as a river of blood. Even now, he still remembered the sticky sensation of blood that permeated through his legs. At the same time, he also remembered that he, who had been turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y person, had vomited continuously in that sea of blood.
This was an unlucky organization. Seven years ago, it could still be considered as a small, powerful corporate power. When they discovered Feng and the diamond arms that were beyond the reach of biotechnology, they did not hesitate to invest a great deal of wealth and resources to study Feng. However, after Feng woke up, they were destroyed.
After killing everyone in the base, Feng found himself in a desert. In the base, he had seen some random bits and pieces of information, but it was enough to let Feng know that he was in a h.e.l.lish era. The old era has become the main theme of the past, of resources and evolution and of this new era. In the snippet of information, Feng also understood that the abilities of this world were divided into five major domains. This was a completely new world!
He traversed the desert on foot and arrived at a small town at the edge of it. During his time in the desert, he discovered that he could switch between normal arms and the Hand of G.o.d. The crux was that there was a set of mysterious gene fragments in Feng"s body. Feng could feel their existence. When necessary, he could switch the human genes in his hands into the genes of a G.o.d, and from there, achieve the local mutation he mentioned in order to cover up this pair of divine arms.
It was not a clever lie, but so far no one had seen through it. After arriving at this small town, Feng lived here for a while as a roaming mercenary. Even without the use of the Hand of G.o.d, Feng had a base strength and speed that was far superior to ordinary people. In this small town, Feng had obtained the qualifications to be a first rank mercenary or a first rank hunter before moving to another city.
During that time, Maple indulged himself without restraint, smoking and drinking, sleeping with different women every day, and even taking nerve drugs to numb himself. He could not find his way forward. To this era, he was like a person that jumped out from a rock. He had memories of the old era, but he was still living in a new era that made people feel despair.
At that time, Feng was crazy. He crazily carried out any mission, and only by wandering between life and death could he obtain a temporary peace. Feng thought that he would continue to be like this until he died under the claws of a mutated beast or on a woman"s belly. If possible, Feng hoped it would be the latter. However, his arrival caused Feng"s life to take a 180 turn.
He is Andre, artificial G.o.d No. 7. In the records of the test, he was the most powerful. Even though he was from the old era, no one dared to underestimate Andrew"s rank as a Major General. In the new era, he stood at the top of the pyramid. Waking up before the other twelve people, Andre had already established his own power and was dedicated to searching for the other twelve.
However, Ander did not have any good intentions. The reason he found other man-made G.o.ds was to absorb their G.o.d organs and genes so that he could evolve into a real G.o.d!
Half a year after Feng"s destruction of the desert base, Andre appeared in the base and found traces of Feng"s awakening. Following the trail left by the maple, he found a small town at the edge of the desert. After he found out where the maple had gone, Andre made that small town history. He"d killed everyone in the town, ordinary people and Adepts alike, and had fallen at the feet of this devilish man.
When Andre arrived at the city where maple was hiding, maple was sleeping with a woman in his arms.
Feng no longer remembered how he had escaped from the city. He only remembered the killing intent that Ander had released, and told Feng that he had come without any concealment. Even though Feng did not know at the time that he was Andre, he could feel Andre"s hunger within his killing intent. He wanted to eat himself. This was Andre"s impression of Feng.
After escaping to the city, Feng could still feel Andre hanging behind him. He could not get rid of André by any means, and in the end Maple returned to the desert. This time he jumped recklessly into a patch of quicksand in the desert and offered to let a worm "eat" him. It was through the double barrier of sand and giant worms that Feng was able to cut off Ander"s perception of him.
This was similar to the time when he was covered in soil that was soaked by the rain of radiation. Whether it was the mud that was filled with radiation or the sand that was being absorbed day after day, both of them had very chaotic energy activities. This made it impossible for any perception or equipment to search for life under this layer of energy. After wandering around the desert for nearly half a month, Andre had no choice but to leave.
During this period of time, nearly thirty bugs became Feng"s temporary shelter and food. When Andrew left, Feng hid for another half month before returning to the surface. After that, Feng began his escape journey.
In order not to be treated as a tasty food by Andrew, Feng played the role of a variety of life forms. He was a wandering mercenary, a drunkard, and all sorts of other ident.i.ties. It was this kind of life that allowed Feng to peacefully live for seven years.
Until he met Sue half a year ago. At that time, she was chasing after her enemy, but she fell into his trap. Feng wanted to save her, but the people from the Heroic Spirit Hall were a step faster. When they invited Su Li to join them, Feng took the initiative to request to join them. After displaying a decent amount of strength, Feng successfully and he had always been at Asgard.
In this heavenly city, Feng finally settled down. The Heroic Spirit Hall had become his refuge in one of the two largest organizations on the continent. Feng believed that Andre would not find him that easily.
Originally, Feng thought that he would be able to live a happy life with Su Jia Li after graduating from the new army camp with just enough strength. Unexpectedly, just a month after entering the new barracks, zero arrived. The aura coming from Zero"s body that belonged to the G.o.d"s Organs was still very weak, but Feng could still recognize him at first glance.
That golden right eye was simply an eye-catching symbol. However, what made Feng surprised was that Zero did not seem to know his ident.i.ty.
No matter if it was amnesia, or what Eve had said about memory blocking. It was undoubtedly a good thing for Feng to not realize that he was also zero among the thirteen artificial G.o.ds. However, Feng knew that the right eye of G.o.d and the left eye of G.o.d of Number 12 were all things that Andrew wanted.
In one of the experiments, Feng had heard Professor Halson, who was in charge of the whole plan, say that when the G.o.d"s right eye and the G.o.d"s left eye met, the world would be reborn in flames! It was not difficult for Feng to deduce the power of the G.o.d"s Eye with these prophecy like words. As for the specific strength, Feng was naturally not clear. What he did not expect was that after he settled in Asgard, he would actually meet his former companion!
If the encounter between Feng and Zero was fate, then meeting another comrade in the Cossack military base two months later could only be described as a prank of fate. But whether it was Feng or Eva, they all had different names, and their looks had changed. So Maple did not know Eva"s number, after all her organ of G.o.d was not as obvious as the zero eye of the right eye.
Maple was certain that Eva knew her own ident.i.ty. But since she did not say it, Feng was happy to continue playing the role of a swordsman until the day her ident.i.ty was revealed.
His fingers suddenly felt hot, and Feng came back to his senses. His cigarette had already been burnt to nothingness, and the remaining flames had burned his fingers. Feng"s hands were no longer trembling. It was unknown if it was because of the shadow cast by the ma.s.sacre. Now, seeing the b.l.o.o.d.y mud all over the ground, Feng could not help but s.h.i.+ver.
What a coward! He laughed at himself as he threw away his cigarette, picked up his helmet and put it back on, then followed the arrow pointing from the resting area to the main road. The main road would lead directly to the experimental area on the third floor of the base, which had already become the nest of the Scythe Worm. Maple will fight his way through alone to attract the attention of most of the bugs in the nest, so that they can safely pa.s.s through the nest.
The current Feng was playing his role very seriously!
Not long after, scattered gunshots and the shriek of the Scythe Worm could be heard from the third floor of the base. The sounds of gunfire echoed through the intricate tunnels. When Zero and the others stepped into the insect nest covered in mucus, they saw that, other than the meat bags that looked like giant eggs, there were no scythes or green tornadoes.
There were at least five thousand of these meat sacs that filled the entire experiment area. The meat sacs were contracting regularly, as if some kind of creature was breathing. In fact, the meat bags were filled with the larvae of the Scythe Worm. When these worms broke out of the bags, they would be able to increase the number of members in this huge family of Scythe Worms. The meat sacs were close to each other. They were so numerous in the tunnels, in the grooves, and even on the ceiling that it made one"s hair stand on end.
Zero, Su Su and the others, plus the rest of the thirty or so Bio-transformation Legion soldiers were walking along the wormhole filled pa.s.sageway. His military boots were covered in viscous insect venom when he stepped on them. It was so disgusting that even Su Su"s face became extremely ugly.
At this time, a bug sac in front of the pa.s.sage suddenly ruptured, and a translucent scythe larva crawled out with a low cry. With its short scythe forelimbs, it hooks pieces of a bug"s bursa, which is both a protective membrane and a nutrient, into its mouth. The larvae eat their own bursaries as soon as they break out of the bursaries. After another 24 hours, they will complete their first evolution and become young scythes.
The breeding cycle of the scythe only lasted for a short three weeks, and the evolution from larvae to adults only lasted a day. This was also the reason why there were so many scythes.
Now, with each larva present, the rate of contraction of the rest of the bursa suddenly increased. Then, one by one, the larvae tore their way out of the sac. Suddenly, the insect potion that was gus.h.i.+ng out of the meat bag was left on the ground, and the newborn larvae were desperately sucking the potion and the meat bag, thinking that they had ingested enough nutrients for the evolution of the adult.
Seeing this situation, Ling Tian"s face turned grim. The rest of the team members had a bad expression on their faces. They finally knew why the hibernating Sickle Worm was so active. It was because a new member was about to join them that the bugs acted as a protector.
As the sound of flesh being torn rang out, the tunnel suddenly emitted "Sha Sha" sounds. Following that, a sickle worm appeared at the entrance of the pa.s.sageway. The compound eyes above its head immediately reflected the figures of zeros and others. The sickle worm screeched out, waving its sharp forelimbs as it quickly crawled towards them.
However, the Scythe Bug had only crawled out a hundred meters when its head suddenly exploded. As it fell to the ground, the sound of a sniper rifle could be heard.
Zero put down Colt and shouted, "Let"s go, the swarm is coming!"
When the larvae are born, under the control of biological instinct, the adults will inevitably return to protect them. At that time, Feng wouldn"t be of much use. Su Bai and the others also understood. With a shout, they ran in the direction of the exit of the laboratory. However, the bottom of their feet were full of viscous insect venom. Not only did they need to maintain their speed, but they also needed to pay attention to their balance. This was not an easy task. At this time, more and more scythes appeared at the entrance. The sound of them rubbing against the forelimbs was terrifying.
A few of the zombie archers were hit by the worm"s liquid and immediately surrounded by the scythe bugs. The gunfire suddenly rang out, but it was soon over. The sharp limbs of the scythes danced in the air, and blood splattered everywhere. The living corpse was immediately dismembered and turned into food for the larvae.
As she ran, Eve called out to the living corpse duo, "Stop them!"
A string of data flashed across Gemini"s electronic eyes, followed by a low howl from his mouth. The next moment, a few butchers in the zombie army stopped. They turned around, grabbed their huge weapons and rushed towards the bug swarm.
At once, a few butchers formed a blockade that blocked off the bugs like a dam. After they left the bugs behind, they could still hear the growls of the butcher and the shrieks of the bugs.
Eva, on the other hand, looked pained. The butchers had stopped the bugs, but they couldn"t come back. This was undoubtedly a huge loss for Eva, so she gave Zero a hard look and decided that she would double the loss back to him!
