Walk alone in the abyss

Yang Ming was thinking about how to refuse this reward.

On the projection screen, several light red lasers flashed, and blood holes as thick as thumbs appeared on the hands and feet of the Valkyrie lying on the ground.

Compared with the trauma location proposed by Yang Ming, there were two more shoulder joint wounds.

The captain in the fire control cabin below asked via radio: "Do you need to create more injuries? Professor."

"It's enough," Kigrove said immediately, "it's enough, don't hurt her anymore. Let the assault team go up, let all the modified bodies enter a deep dormancy state, they are all our precious achievements."

"Good professor," the captain's voice sounded a little unsatisfactory.

On the projection screen, two rows of imperial soldiers carrying laser guns and wearing protective clothing rushed into the bottom cabin, and quickly pressed down the neck of a reformer with their knees.

The Valkyrie suddenly opened her eyes, and red ripples bloomed again.

But a light blue protective film appeared on the helmets of those soldiers, protecting their fragile brains and sensitive brain waves.

As Yang Ming said before, when Valkyrie has multiple penetrating wounds on her body, she will lose her ability to move.

A few injections tried to pierce the fair and smooth skin of the Valkyrie. Her hands and feet kept trembling, but she couldn't move.

The commando's messy voice came from the built-in speaker of the main console:

"My God! Captain, look, the Valkyrie's wound is recovering, and the burn marks are gone."

"Infinite proliferation of cells? Does she incorporate Zerg genes?"

"What kind of monster is this! Although she is very beautiful! Damn it, take the thickest needle, mine won't go in!"

"Inject the dormant injection from her wound, and her skin has extremely high resilience... This is indeed a monster."

Kigrove said coldly: "Captain, shut up all your people!"

"Good professor."

The captain cut off the voice synchronization of the operation team, and the main console became quiet again, except for Kigrov's hurried and rough voice.

Yang Ming standing behind hesitated to speak.

Kigrov's breathing slowed down, and he turned slowly, his mechanical prosthetic eye glowing with dark red spots.

"Let's go, Hanton," Kigrove cheered up, "I will personally help you with the plastic surgery."

Yang Ming immediately said: "Professor, I think... at this moment, I need to maintain the spaceship's equipment, after all, there is such a big commotion."

"Isn't this your long-cherished wish?"

Kigrove stared at Yang Ming: "Why can't you see a little happiness on your face? Hanton."

"Professor," Yang Ming squeezed an ugly smile, "I just injured my head, and now I still feel dizzy. I'm worried that this will affect the success rate of the transformation."

"It won't have any effect," Kigrove seemed to be looking for something from Yang Ming's face, "This is the reward you deserve, Hanton, why do you make me feel like you've changed suddenly?"

I'm going to reveal my secrets?

Yang Ming was shocked by Kigrov's insight, and thought about the current situation quickly in his heart.

Don't look at Brother Ji's pleasant face now, this guy is a perverted murderer in his bones, and he regards life as inferior to nothing;

If Ji Ge becomes suspicious of him, his situation will be very dangerous.

But that 35% mortality rate...

"Professor, it's better to wait for this matter to pass, I still have a lot of work to deal with."

"I don't make promises lightly, Captain Hunton, and when I make a promise, I don't change my mind."

"But the professor!"

Yang Ming rushed forward for half a step, suddenly there was the sound of frustrating footsteps, four guard soldiers appeared on the left and right, and the red dot of the laser gun fell on Yang Ming's forehead.

"Don't be nervous, Hanton, I understand you."

Kigrov leaned on crutches and walked towards the stairs, instead of looking at Yang Ming, he turned his head and said:

"Captain, you personally send the third officer of Hanton to the spare laboratory, encourage this young man, and ask my assistants to prepare him, if they can still move."

The captain who had just left the console looked at Yang Ming with complicated eyes, and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Ming.

"Thank you professor."

Yang Ming squeezed a smile, and walked towards the captain without looking back.

On the projection screen, the Valkyrie was carried by the soldiers to the experimental platform aside, was quickly tied into a rice dumpling, and began to inject more dormant reagents.

...

The captain is a thoughtful soldier, completely loyal to the empire and to Professor Kigrove.

On the way being 'escorted' to the backup laboratory, Yang Ming was always looking for a breakthrough, the moment he left the bridge, the moment he entered the elevator, the moment the elevator transformed into a microgravity environment...

All possible opportunities for resistance were blocked by experienced captains.

From Hanton's memory, we can know that when this happens—the soldiers on this ship open the safety of the laser gun and aim at the head of the experimental material, it means that they may shoot at any time.

There have been accidents in which experimental materials were shot directly through the brain before.

The current situation is that there is still a chance of survival after being transformed, and the chance of surviving a direct conflict with them is slim, and there is still some room for buffering in the matter of transformation.

'After all, there is still a 65% chance of survival...'

Yang Ming thought happily in bitterness.

The spare laboratory was on the upper floor of the bilge, and the restored elevator took them directly to the entrance of the laboratory.

The silver-gray alloy door opened left and right, and several experimenters who had received orders in advance were watching the door nervously with fear on their faces.

"Handon," the captain patted Yang Ming's shoulder, "Thank you, you may have really saved us from a disaster just now."

Yang Ming clenched his fist slightly.

If the real Handon got such an opportunity, he would naturally be ecstatic; his current anxiety and resistance had aroused Kigrov's suspicion.

Even, Yang Ming faintly sensed that Kigrove was observing him now.

The soldiers stood holding laser guns, their fingers near the trigger, and the gun's biosafety was turned on.

In other words, the soldiers had already been ordered to kill Hanton at any time, and the person who issued this order would only be Kigrov.

"captain."

Yang Ming said in a low voice: "If possible, please suggest that the professor use some more mature techniques for me. Only by being alive can I serve the empire."

Before the captain could open his mouth, the third officer, who was not very eye-catching on weekdays, had already bowed his head and walked into the cabin, and lay down on the experimental table calmly, without the soldiers' assistance, he put his hands and feet where they should be. , was tightly restrained by the shackles that popped up from below.

'The professor may have made an unwise decision. '

The captain inexplicably came up with such an idea.

Signaling the soldiers to stay in the laboratory, the captain turned around and rushed towards the bilge, thinking of words that could plead for Third Officer Hanton without offending Professor Kigrove.

...

The wait on the test bench seemed particularly long.

Yang Ming's mood changed from the previous anger and irritability to calmness and restraint.

This life was originally picked up, and now he just needs to find a way to survive.

Drip, drop, drop.

I don't know which instrument made the sound, but the rhythm of the sound coincided with Yang Ming's heartbeat.

There were needles piercing the back of the hand and the back of the foot, and the cool liquid invaded the blood vessels. Yang Ming felt a little dizzy, and soon fell into a coma.

Drip, drop.

Yang Ming opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Kigrove wearing a surgical cap and mask, who was concentrating on looking at the instruments beside him.

"Professor, the gene stabilization solution has extremely low rejection, and it is an excellent material."

"Do you want to try the Type 2 genetic fluid, professor? Or use the most conservative Type 1 genetic fluid? After all, this is a loyal soldier of the Empire."

Kigrove said, "Go get Genetic Fluid Six, it might work this time."

"Number Six? Professor, that's not the genome extracted from the body of the Valkyrie...there is only a theoretical possibility..."

"His several key values ​​are very close to those of the original Whirling," Kigrove's voice showed a bit of impatience, "If it weren't for the ancient god's cell tissue remaining in the end, I would transform it like I modified Whirling Handon! Move fast, don't miss the moment!"

"Good professor."

whirling?

Is this the name of the Valkyrie? What a mouthful.

Yang Ming wanted to give Kigrov the middle finger, but he was already under anesthesia, and his thoughts quickly stopped.

I don't know how long I have been asleep, it may be a moment, or it may have been several hours.

The severe pain shattered the blank dreams woven by the anesthetic.

The pain from being burned by the ground fire reappeared, Yang Ming seemed to be anesthetized and thrown into the incinerator, but the flames spewed out from under his skin.

"Let the robotic arm hold him down!"

"Two doses of Gene Stabilizer! Intensive injection!"

"Bleeding! Arterial bloodletting, injection of maintenance agent!"

These bastards!

Yang Ming was roaring, roaring like a beast.

Hum——

Suddenly, the sound of ten thousand bees flapping their wings at high speed appeared in his head.

Yang Ming saw a few flashing pictures in pain.

[A dark cloud floats in the silent starry sky, far away from the stars, without destination, it is the matter belonging to this universe, it is the gift of possibility from the universe, it can think, it can feel existence, it is a living body. 】

Ancient god life form?

In the severe pain, Yang Ming forced himself to keep thinking.

The ancient gods, the cosmic creatures in "The Abyss", refer to special life forms that can survive in a vacuum-like environment without any external force.

In the game, they usually exist as legion world bosses, possess amazing destructive power, and usually have characteristics such as mental control, devouring, and infinite proliferation. Every time they appear, there will be huge disasters.

If we say that the life form of the ancient gods represents the ultimate path of individual life evolution; the classic villain in "Abyss", the Scourge of the Second Day, represents the ultimate evolution of the collective life.

‘The study of the life of the ancient gods is our shortcut to eternal life. '

This is a line in a certain plot of "The Abyss".

Yang Ming suddenly understood.

The Valkyrie is the product of the Sherman Empire's research on the life forms of the ancient gods. It is a monster created by combining the cells of the ancient gods with humans. The ancient god has been resurrected in the body of the Valkyrie!

There are other pictures that keep coming out, but they are broken, incomplete, and mixed with the experience of two living beings.

[The besieged 'dark cloud', the life form of the ancient gods that gradually melted under the bombardment of the Star Destroyer, ushered in its end.

A cute little girl with a ponytail, holding her father's big hand, playing in the glass-colored waves, kicking the waves with her little feet.

'whirling. '

The father's big hand gently stroked the girl's head.

'You will be perfect life. '

'Dad, what is perfection. ’]

What? !

Yang Ming stared at the memory fragments, the pain and suffering in his body became lighter, he followed the little girl and slowly raised his head, and what caught his eyes was Kigrove's face that hadn't been equipped with prosthetic eyes yet.

Ji Ge and Valkyrie are father and daughter!

This old sixth transformed his daughter!

The incomplete picture disappeared like sparks, and Yang Ming's pain also quickly subsided, leaving only a feeling of soreness all over his body.

survived?

At this moment, Yang Ming heard Kigrove's laughter: "Very good, Hanton's transformation is very successful, the genetic stability coefficient is 0.92, which is a great value, and he is well prepared. The gene stabilizing agent and nutrient solution..."

Kigrove talked on and on, showing off and satisfying.

But Yang Ming was not in the mood to continue listening.

In a trance, he seemed to be in a starry sky, with bright nebulae above his head and below his feet.

He faced the girl floating in front of him.

The girl is the Valkyrie, she is wrapped in the sacred pure white light, even if she is not naked, she does not have any desire or obscenity.

gurgling

In the starry sky came the cry of deep-sea whales.

Words emerged in Yang Ming's heart, as if the Valkyries were confiding and calling.

How to interpret the message sent by the Valkyrie at this moment?

It is complicated, but also simple, and it is a higher level of direct communication beyond language. If it is described in terms that humans can understand, it is probably...

combine? Devour? return? Integrate with each other?

No, none of these are accurate.

The most accurate translation should be:

'I want to eat you. '

Yang Ming trembled unconsciously.

The girl directly revealed her desire for Yang Ming!

In the bilge laboratory and the spare laboratory, on two similar test benches, a man and a woman who were also trapped opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Dense compound eyes appeared in the Valkyrie's pupils, and these compound eyes were arranged into a dense crystal structure in an instant.

She opened her mouth and let out a silent scream, and a red energy wave swayed from her forehead, instantly sweeping across the entire cabin.

Those soldiers wearing anti-nerve-jamming helmets held their heads and screamed at the same time. More than a dozen figures without sufficient protection measures slowly fell to the ground, their eyeballs were bloodshot and their nostrils were bleeding.

There were explosions from various instruments.

Those high-energy ray launchers that kept locking on to the Valkyrie lost contact with the bridge!

at the same time.

In the spare lab.

Yang Ming shook his head violently, the red light in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Before he had time to think about it, he looked at the panicked staff and yelled:

"Quickly let me untie it! The Valkyrie was hiding her strength and preparing to give you a big wave! Now she is going to swallow me!"

The few experimenters who stayed here were at a loss.

Kigrove was not in the bilge lab at the moment.

"Believe me!"

Yang Ming faced several experimenters with a full face of sincerity: "Only I can stop the Valkyrie, this is the secret mission the professor gave me! For the glory of the empire! The emperor star shines on you and me!"

These experimenters obviously hesitated a little.
