The building standing in the dense fog slowly toppled and shattered on the ruins like a tofu block, and the splashed rubble flew hundreds of meters into the air, and the dust kicked up by the air flow was blown out a kilometer away......

Staring blankly at the slowly crumbling edifice, the tapir's eyes flashed with disbelief at first, and then gradually turned to horror.

It took a long time for him to squeeze a word out of his clenched teeth.

"Day ......"

Champion Biological Research Institute......

The Nago core of the underground research area!

Years of work by the church!

These ignorant wastelanders have blown it up!

The Nago fungus in the entire Jinhe City area has lost its core heart, and the collapse of the Kingdom of Heaven is inevitable, and they don't have time to make a new brood for this land, which is not a project that can be completed in a short time.

Since the collapse of the kingdom of heaven was inevitable, the Church had no choice but to abandon the diocese and return when the time came.

The biological soldiers deployed in the city are retreating south under the cover of gray fog, including Goliath and some of the batwings who are not dead.

Most of them are mindless monsters induced by mutant cubs, and they are the product of deformities from head to toe, but the deformities are just right.

In addition to assisting in experimentation, the Odd Tribe is also useful for the Church to provide newborns that can be used as raw materials.

Now, though, they've lost their last use.

Even with the Church-supported Modified Prosthetics, the Qi tribe was unable to stop the Alliance's attack, and almost all of the able-bodied warriors died on the front line, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled to hide in the underground transportation network of Geumho City.

Whether it is used as a soldier or as a breeding tool, they are not the most suitable choice, not to mention that there are many "ancestor factions" who are crippled.

Although it is a pity to have lost this near-perfect pastoral area, the Qi tribe has now lost even the last value.

However, the tapir's heart was full of unwillingness.

Not out of sympathy for his allies, he didn't like the ugly green-skinned animals at all, and had always treated them as a "not very convenient but irreplaceable tool for the time being".

What really made him unwilling was that in order for the eternal kingdom of heaven to come to this land, too many people had been sacrificed, both the church and the inquisition.

However, in the end, this is the result......

He couldn't take it!

That traitor......

If it weren't for that Luo Gan's sudden disappearance just before the Kingdom of Heaven descended, they wouldn't have lost so miserably!

If that Luo Gan could launch an attack on that airship as soon as the Kingdom of Heaven descended, the alliance would not have had a chance to hold out for so long!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the tapir almost crushed its teeth.

Just as his emotions were about to reach their peak, a voice he had heard somewhere came from not far away.

"Do you think it's my fault?"

"Who?!"

The tapir turned his head sharply, only to see an old man with a faint golden light standing two steps behind him, his fierce eyes instantly narrowing into a slit.

“…… Luo Gan! ”

Luo Gan looked at him calmly.

The ethereal gaze seemed to pass through his body again, looking straight at the collapsed tall building not far away.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke as if talking to himself.

"Sometimes I wonder if there may be a slight deviation between ideals and reality...... We did get some things wrong in order for the final plan to come to fruition. ”

"Perhaps we should consult with our followers, ask for their opinions, or at least ask them if they are really willing to go to the kingdom of heaven we envision, or they will unite and desperately want to defeat us, even if we are already at the end of the sea of suffering."

Looking at the red tapir who had already raised his gun, Luo Gan suddenly smiled, his voice carried a hint of self-deprecation, and continued in a light and fluttering tone.

"Shoot."

"If you have a way to kill me, it won't be a good thing."

Thinking about it this way, that manager is really not simple.

The first time he saw him, he saw through what he really was.

Ironically, however, these servants loyal to the Sanctuary know nothing about it...... They were obviously the closest beings to the Sanctuary.

The red tapir looked at him with disdain, spitting, and the muzzle of the gun did not move.

"It's less garlic! The Sanctuary is just a chip in your head, don't think Lao Tzu doesn't know! Just put—"

"As long as you kill everyone who has implanted a chip, as long as you take out every chip and crush it, the person 'Luo Gan' will disappear from this world...... That's what you think, right? ”

Luo Gan looked at him with pity and continued.

"It's a pity that even I don't remember how many of them I have buried in this land, and the real me died twenty years ago."

All of the Precursors who entered the Sanctuary were dead.

This is also a prerequisite for entering the Sanctuary.

In order to keep the torch unwavering, they sacrificed themselves before sacrificing everyone.

Looking at the red tapir with a stunned expression, Luo Gan slowly left a meaningful sentence.

"Every I am who I am, and every I am not me. I have broken the soul that the Creator has given me into countless parts in exchange for time that does not belong to me, and at the cost of never being able to close my eyes, perhaps this is the punishment of the Creator for me. ”

"Thankfully, though, at least in the end I did the right thing."

The red tapir stared at him intently.

“…… What's up? ”

However, Luo Gan didn't intend to tell him, just turned his back to him.

"You don't need to know, it's none of your business."

"My mission is over, I can't go down this road to the new world with you, tell the other pioneers for me."

"We won't meet again."

"Wait! Stop me!! Seeing that the figure was about to disappear from here, the tapir stared at the back of his head and let out a roar.

The old man didn't pay any attention to his meaning, his figure was slowly fading, and his breath was disappearing.

The look in his eyes gradually turned to madness, and the red tapir's index finger trembled, and finally pulled the trigger.

"Bang ——!"

The shrill sound of gunfire echoed through the streets.

However, it was not the old man who had dissipated into a virtual shadow, but his partner Tang He, the sniper with a sparse flat head and an electronic eye replaced by an electronic eye.

A 9mm bullet entered his right eye and the back of his head, bringing out a trail of plasma and brainflowers, which sprayed on the broken shop window on the side of the street.

With a look of shock and madness, the man fell to the ground heavily, as if he had never thought that he would be pointed at by his partner who had worked together for many years, let alone that his partner would actually shoot.

He had been hit by a waster with the left side of his head blown off, and now he was shot by a teammate and the right side of his head was blown up.

This time, there was nothing left.

Looking at Tang He, who was lying motionless in a pool of blood, the red tapir's expression changed from stunned to sluggish, and then from sluggish to frightened.

"No ......"

"Tang He?!"

"Definitely...... Something went wrong! Right! I remembered that it was that Luo Gan who took possession of your body...... Me, I just wanted to help you get him out. ”

His lips trembled and he took a step back, the muscles of his face twisted, and he put his hands on his head and let out a heart-rending cry.

"Ahhhh

He suddenly remembered.

The Sanctuary was never on the ground, only the chosen ones could see it—in other words, the guy wasn't in his partner's body, but in his head.

In a trance, he saw his reflection on the bloodstained shop window on the side, but that face was not himself, it was Luo Gan who had just disappeared.

"I'm going to kill you!!" He roared hoarsely, pointed his gun to his chin, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

His face turned the color of pig liver, and he finally closed his eyes with determination and pulled the trigger.

The thud of a gunshot almost shattered his jaw, but instead of penetrating his jaw, the bullet grazed his cheek and flew into the sky.

"Huh...... Hahahaha! ”

He laughed loudly and fired into the sky with his gun in his shot, his empty eyes full of madness and distortion.

The gunshots attracted the attention of people nearby.

He saw at the end of the street, an armored car with a cannon barrel heading this way, surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers.

The helmets covered most of the faces, but he could see that the faces hidden under the helmets were Luo Gan.

"Hey ......"

With a sinister laugh coming out of his mouth, he raised his pistol and pointed it at the group at the end of the street, and the moment he pulled the trigger, he seemed to see a flash of fire.

And then—

His consciousness fell into the abyss......

……

"Another cyber madman has been discovered."

Sitting in the turret of an armored car, the mole stared at the shattered corpse lying in the middle of the street and continued succinctly into the headset.

"Lao Na, go up and take a look."

"Roger."

Rising from the side of the wheel, Irena stepped forward with her rifle in hand.

The big brother who was standing in the middle of the road fired a shot into the sky, and they thought that someone here needed help.

As soon as he approached, the guy pointed his gun at them, and was taken away by a sudden burst of fire.

Looking at the blur of flesh embedded in the exoskeleton, Irena smacked her tongue, crouched down to examine his relics, and soon found a blood-stained silver armor.

Carved on it are two inverted triangles, which are the symbols of the torch.

There is also the coat of arms of the Inquisition on the back.

"It's the executioner, and the one next to him should be ...... They were equipped with Inquisition badges and badges with their names and blood types, exoskeletons with optical camouflage inserts, a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, two pistols and some ammunition, EMP grenades, and more...... No camouflaged explosives were found. ”

Standing up next to the other guy who had been shot in the head, Irena continued in the communication channel.

"They seem to have had an infighting, and the guy named Red Tapir first killed his accomplice with a single shot, and then tried to kill himself, but without success...... Of course, this is just my speculation. ”

The elf king Fugui smacked his tongue.

"Outrageous."

Suddenly thinking of yesterday's events, a player who was following him spoke.

"By the way, is this the sniper we met earlier?"

Another player touched the back of his head.

"I guess so, I heard that the brothers of the Burning Corps have suffered a lot at their hands...... It's weird, though. ”

"Strange?"

"What about Goliath? It's the big guys...... In terms of combat effectiveness, their abilities are much stronger than those with wings. ”

Listening to the sound of each other in the communication channel, the mole thought for a moment and said.

"I guess I gave up."

Elf King Fugui said with a smile.

"That's giving up?"

"Well, after all, the brood has been destroyed, and this gray fog will disperse in a while."

The mole glanced up overhead, and saw that a ray of sunlight stretched by the gray mist had broken through the thick cloud cover and was spilling over the ruins.

"Except for the Qi tribe...... There seems to be no reason for the church to continue. ”

After a pause, he looked at Lao Na, who was still touching the corpse in front of him, and shouted at the top of his throat.

"The corpse is dragged into the car first, and then turned over when we go back, there is still work ahead!"

The mutants of the Champion Bio Research Institute have all been wiped out, and the Torch Church has been withdrawn from the area.

Now, it's the turn of the brutes hiding in the subway......

……

The deck of the Iron Heart.

The Viper transport plane dragging a pale blue plasma plume slowly landed.

Two flight crews wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin carrying a boxy metal stand and carefully placed it on the trailer.

In the center of the metal stand is a nearly spherical container shaped like a water droplet, the size of a gas canister.

However, what is stored in it is not gas, but helium-3 in a superfluid state!

Although it is only a neutron short, the technical content of this thing is so high that it is not known where it is higher than the technical content of ordinary liquid helium superfluids.

It is well known that the superfluid of liquid helium was discovered almost shortly after the successful preparation of liquid helium.

However, its isotopes do not have this treatment.

Since helium-3 lacks a neutron, it is a fermion-like particle that cannot be brought together according to the Pauli principle of incompatibility.

It is precisely for this reason that the question of whether helium-3 exists in a superfluid state has long been an unsolved mystery in physics.

It was not until later that it was discovered that when the temperature was low enough, helium-3 could also form Cooper pairs through the interaction of the spins of atomic nuclei, which led to the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physics - Davy, Oserov, Robert and others finally achieved helium-triple superflow in the laboratory at extremely low temperatures only 2 thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.

While it's unclear why the nuclear fuel is preserved in the form of superfluids, the sheer amount of technology in this world is quite impressive relative to the world the player is in.

To store a helium-triple superfluid with a volume of one liter, only a "gas tank" with a volume of about thirty or forty liters is sufficient.

Even two people can carry it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "helium-3 storage technology" contained in this gas tank alone is an amazing gain for the nascent alliance.

Not to mention the staggering amount of nuclear fuel.

There are more than a million similar containers in the warehouses in the underground research area, all of which are stored on container-like shelves, with a total storage capacity of up to 1,000 cubic meters!

Before that edifice collapsed, the nuclear fuel had been moved to a safe location.

It was unknown why the Torch hadn't transferred the fuel to Haiya Province, but whatever their intentions, it was now in the hands of the Alliance.

For a long time to come, the alliance will not need to worry about energy problems!

In addition to nuclear fuel, players have recovered a batch of mechanical prosthetics and modification equipment from the Champion Bio Institute.

Many of these are the legacies of the War Construction Committee.

Just like the Boulder Military Industry inherited by Boulder City, the "Champion" Biopharmaceutical Research Institute, which originally belonged to the Central Wartime Research Institute of the People's Federation, is also one of the legacies left by the War Construction Committee to Singularity City.

Unfortunately, they didn't use the facility properly, and even ended up on a path of self-destruction.

Ibers is interested in these devices, which will be packed up and sent to the Boulder Military Industry for disassembly and reverse.

While it's a shame that the researchers affiliated with the Torch weren't caught, Boulder has enough experienced technicians and engineers to uncover the secrets hidden in those devices......

The deck of the Ironheart was in full swing, and the bridge that served as the ship's command tower was also not idle.

Vanus and other officers are commanding the ground forces.

Chu Guang was still standing in the old place that was out of the way, staring at the pale blue holographic window in front of him, listening to Heya's report on the latest research progress of the Alliance Biological Research Institute.

“…… The Torch had more biotechnology than I had expected, and they didn't exactly have the technology they had brought out of Vault 117, such as the biomass armor, some of which had DNA fragments similar to the slime mutant slime. ”

After listening to Heya's statement, Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"I remember that Nago too."

"Yes," Hea nodded slightly, and continued, "including the mutant with bat wings, and the giant mutant named Goliath...... A large number of DNA fragments related to the slime mold variant can be found in their chromosomes. Not to mention the nago you mentioned, from the core of the nago to the flora to the spores released by the mycelium, the entire system made of nago is designed to mimic the mutant slime mold. ”

At this point, Hea paused and continued in an uncertain tone.

"It's hard to imagine that this is the result of two decades of research that they have done...... Do you think it's possible that those people got the technology left over from the three-year war in some ancient battlefield or ruins in the south? ”

Chu Guang's heart moved.

"You mean...... Biotechnology for colonial rebels? ”

Hea nodded solemnly.

"That's what I thought...... Although it is only conjecture. ”

Chu Guang fell into thought.

It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

In fact, it's not just the Nago associated with the mutant slime mold, but also the psychic interference technology mastered by the Torch Church.

They weren't using the version of Vault 401, but more like an upgraded model with more power and coverage.

If he remembers correctly, the telepathic interference device is a joint research project between the Third Ecological Park of Qingquan City above Vault 401 and the Colonial Research Institute on "Alternatives to Infrasonic Fence Devices".

Due to the scandal that followed, research on the telepathic interference device was halted by censors in 2113.

However, the information left over from Vault 401 does not mention whether the project has been terminated entirely, or if there is simply no further research on the home planet, while the colony is still looking for a "highly effective alternative to the infrasonic fence" and is not subject to any censorship.

If the latter is the case......

It is likely that this telepathic interference device has already been used in the military.

Even the slime nest, a variant of the slime nest as a biological weapon, is itself a hive creature born based on the telepathic interference field?

The more Chu Guang thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

“…… As for the source of the Torch Church's technology, it's worth digging deeper, and I'll keep my subordinates on the lookout, and if there's any new clue from your side, please let me know immediately. ”

"Well, leave it to me...... Oh yes. Just as she was about to hang up, Hea suddenly remembered something else and continued, "What happened to the person you sent to Vault 79?" ”

Hearing her ask about Yuer, Chu Guang thought about it and said casually.

"That guy is a researcher at the former 'Champion' Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and he was involved in the research and development of anti-radiation agents and radiation canceling agents."

Bighorn Stag should be interested in that guy, after all, Vault 79 is a champion even for coffee and cookies.

Eighty percent of the people there are fans of the Champions Group, and they might be interested in chatting with the guy about the past.

Hea was stunned and looked at him incredulously.

"You've even found this kind of talent."

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"To be precise, a war criminal, if he doesn't make any major contributions, he will have to spend the rest of his life in Vault 79, and I will have to trouble you to keep an eye on it in the future."

Hea nodded solemnly.

"I'll keep an eye on it."

After the communication ended, Chu Guang turned off the holographic device and looked at the mist-shrouded earth outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

With the fall of the pseudo-brood, the war in Kinhe City has come to an end.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess, as well as think about what to do with Haiya Province, which has entered the fourth stage.

However, before that, the Alliance has a "wave" to deal with, and tomorrow he plans to drive the Ironheart back to Dawn.

As for the city of Geumha.

It shouldn't be a big problem to hand it over to Frost and the Kangmao Group behind it.

Chu Guang's requirements for it were very low, as long as he could hold on for a while, it was enough to wait for the alliance to free up his own affairs.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening and footsteps came from behind him.

An officer walked up behind him and stood upright, his right fist against his left chest and gave a military salute.

"Report!"

Chu Guang, who turned around, looked at him and said.

"What's the matter?"

"A mutant who calls himself a priest of the Strange tribe wishes to negotiate surrender with you, and it claims to be willing to offer its allegiance to the Alliance."

"Surrender?"

Chewing on the word playfully, Chu Guang glanced at the officer lightly.

"Have I declared war on them?"

Although those guys were born laborers, he had lost interest in transforming them after seeing that "ranch".

It's a mistake for something like this to breathe.

He didn't care if the remaining mutants were the main battle faction or the main peace faction, and it would be better for the Alliance and the world to completely exterminate them.

The officer was slightly stunned, then he took advantage of the manager's eyes, and gave a military salute with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

……
