Chapter 8: Ball Lightning

The two of them once again came to the scientific research host in the center of the square.

Ning Yuan plugged the hard cable behind his head into the right interface, allowing Stewart to crack it again.

Brand rested against the pillar, he pulled two steel plates from Mark's body, fastened them to his left arm, and pulled a long cable to secure them, so that his left arm was temporarily functional.

Because it is a prosthesis, he does not feel any pain, and the bionic muscle module of the prosthesis is not damaged, and after being caught by the steel plate, he can still move.

Although the blade cannot be ejected again, and the power has become very weak, firing is not a problem.

This stunned Ning Yuan on the side.

The biochemical prosthetic technology in this world is really awesome.

"I really thought we had beaten this Mark." Brand leaned against the wall, looked at Mark's corpse and said, "Do you know, this is the extreme transformation soldier of the Demon Cave Military Industry. ”

"Extreme Transformation Soldiers?"

"Yes, a crazy plan to make people who can't turn on abilities transform to the limit, so as to generate powers that are similar to abilities." Brand smiled and said, "I once took my daughter to a military electronics summit and saw this thing. ”

Military electronics summit?

Ning Yuan suddenly thought of the E3 Game Summit, which specializes in displaying new game products, and he has always wanted to come and go.

It seems that this military electronics summit is the place to display the new products of various companies.

"At that time, the Demon Cave Military Industry unveiled two extreme transformers, and defeated two D-class abilities effortlessly." Brand smiled and said, "My daughter is full of blood, she has always wanted to work on mechanical prosthetics. ”

"Your daughter likes mechanical prosthetics?"

"Hmm." When talking about his daughter, Brand smiled: "She has loved mechanical creations since she was a child, and when she was a child, she often went to the garbage dump to dig up old circuits, and then modified them herself, making herself dirty. ”

"Your daughter is amazing." Ning Yuan thought about it, the greatest operation he had when he was a child seemed to be playing a board game and making his table mate cry......

But when I was in high school, I really DIY a Tesla coil, got a plasma speaker to play, and then set the plug on fire.

"My daughter...... She's always been unique, and you know what she says to me the most? ”

"What?"

"Those who engage in stem cell cultivation are rubbish, and the Cult of the Mechanicus is immortal!" Brand laughed: "She also said that only the motor and hydraulic rod are the right way, and the truth is hidden in the oil and coolant!" ”

"Hahaha!" Ning Yuan also laughed: "Your daughter is really unique. ”

"So I saved money and sent her to college...... What's wrong? Brand looked at Ning Yuan, who was suddenly in a daze, stood up and asked.

"It looks like it's dark."

A line of text flashed on the computer.

"Error...... Unauthorized connections...... Mistake...... Temporary Permissions Detected...... Welcome, Dr. Akamut......"

"Start the communication protocol TVP340, open port 3441, and load the command interface."

A black window suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's field of vision, which was the information port projected by the supercomputer in the retina.

Stewart quickly delivered a few lines of commands, and suddenly, a huge amount of data poured into Ning Yuan's brain.

Ning Yuan felt dazzled when he glanced at it, so he threw it at Stewart.

Thankfully, I wasn't the one who was working on the data.

"How's it going?" Brand leaned in and asked.

"It's being processed, you wait." Ning Yuan waved his hand, and then asked Stewart quietly, "How is it?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll check, eh, I'll go, there's quite a lot of data."

Ning Yuan suddenly felt that Miss Stewart was stuck in PPT.

"Hmm...... Well...... Well...... Yes...... Yes...... What are these things, how can these brain-dead scientists do this? This formula is simply not true! Oh my God, how did this sand sculpture get the position of lead researcher? If I lead the team, this product is only worth buying coffee......"

Ning Yuan said in a low voice: "Okay, Stewart, don't complain, have you found the data?" ”

"Don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry, Brand is in a hurry, you look at his eyes, I feel like I'm going to eat me."

"Then you strip naked! I like to watch two men nibble together. ”

"Get out! I can't believe you're still a rotten girl! Besides, you can knock Brand so ugly? ”

"Haha, you look handsome, when I was in school, I took the biology department, studied the same-sex reproduction of primates in the laboratory, and let the two male monkeys by changing the hormones, that scene was ......"

"You're enough!" Ning Yuan imagined the scene for a moment, and there was a chill: "Hurry up and find it." ”

Brand on the side waited and looked at Ning Yuan, who was talking to himself in a low voice, and his heart was slightly furious.

This kid...... I don't want to turn into a monster.

He gestured and prayed silently in his heart.

As the minutes ticked by, Stewart didn't say a word, concentrating on the experimental data.

Suddenly, Stewart's exclamation sounded in Ning Yuan's mind: "Wait! Oh my God, it's over! We were discovered! ”

The holographic projection around him was instantly disillusioned, and the electronic equipment of the test bench burst into electric sparks, and the lights began to flicker rapidly, and a terrifying energy condensed in the space.

Arcs of electricity surged from the ground, and then condensed into several clusters of light of about thirty centimeters in mid-air, constantly firing lightning at the surrounding conductors.

Ball lightning?

In the center of these ball lightnings, a super-large lightning ball was converging, and Ning Yuan vaguely saw the appearance of a woman.

That redhead is coming!

This time the teleportation was much louder than the last one.

Ning Yuan had no doubt that the red-haired woman would attack when she landed, and would not give them any chance.

No, maybe the attack has already begun.

Those ball lightning bolts pierced the air, and they were rushing in the direction of Ning Yuan and Brand!

The air was filled with the crackling sound of high-voltage electricity breaking through the air, and the flickering light bulbs on the ceiling began to burst one by one.

Ning Yuan felt that his breathing had stagnated.

It's coming so fast!

There is simply no room for thought!

The skin on Brand's body instantly turned silvery-white, and he stood decisively in front of Ning Yuan.

With the sound of crackling electricity, Brand couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, and the silver-white skin on his body was constantly heating up, from white all the way to orange-red.

More and more ball lightning began to charge rapidly, hitting Brand on the body.

With a loud "coax", Brand was blown out in an instant.

Immediately after that, the ball lightning quickly converged and rushed towards Ning Yuan's direction.

Ning Yuan's eyes widened, he didn't have time to think at all, lightning was approaching.

A dull hum sounded, followed by the remaining lights extinguished.

The entire experimental area was plunged into darkness.

All lightning went out in an instant.

What happened?

When Ning Yuan was shocked, Stewart gave him an answer.

"Sure enough, she was transported by high-voltage cable." Stewart's voice came: "Ning Yuan, I turned off the power of this laboratory, you guys get out of here." ”

"Understood."

I see.

Ning Yuan gasped heavily, it seemed that without electricity, there would be no room for that electromagnetic powerhouse.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

"The backup power in this place will be activated soon, she has already discovered that I have tampered with permissions in the network, Ning Yuan quickly get out of here!"

Just as Ning Yuan got up, a blue light swept through the air, and then the voice of the red-haired woman sounded in the space.

The little mouse played hide and seek...... Run...... Run...... I'll find you. ”

This voice made Ning Yuan, who had just calmed down, nervous again.

He immediately pulled out a flashbang, his fingers clenched tightly on the pull ring, and looked around nervously for a while, only to find that there was silence in the air, and nothing had happened.

"Stewart, what's going on with this voice? She ......"

"It's just a small arc of electricity coming from her, the sound of the arc breaking through the air."

Oh, the plasma speaker......

Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the red-haired woman had teleported over.

Scared the hell out of me.

By the way, how's Brand?

He hurriedly came to Brand's side and found that Brand's epidermal heat was amazing.

"Brand! How are you? ”

This man won't be cooked!

"Ahem." Brand coughed a few times, choked on a puff of black smoke, and said weakly, "Oh...... I, I'm fine......"

"Your skin ......"

"Put, rest assured...... I'm fine. Brand stood up with a green smoke all over his body: "I turned my skin into an aviation material, which can block the super heat, don't worry, I still have to find my daughter, I'm fine." ”

"Are you alright?" Looking at Brand who was covered in crimson, Ning Yuan asked suspiciously.

"It's fine." Brand shook his head and staggered to his feet: "My ability defense is still very high, what happened just now?" ”

"That was the security guard of the Demon Cave Military Industry just now, a high-level supernatural person, didn't you meet her when you came?"

"Nope." Brand shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's worthy of a giant company, it can have such a strong force, and the people almost killed me before they arrived, how did you stop him?" ”

"I turned the power off, and she teleported and we were gone."

"You turned the power off, what about my daughter's information?" Brand turned his head and looked anxiously at quantum supercomputing: "What about my daughter?" ”

yes, what about his daughter?

Ning Yuan hurriedly asked Stewart.

"Don't worry, Ning Yuan, I downloaded the data just now, and I'm sorting it out." Stewart said: "I am not familiar with the database programming language used by the Magic Cave Military Industry, and I am learning it!" ”

"Don't worry." Ning Yuan comforted Brand: "I'm sorting out the information, and I'll find it in a while." ”

Having said that, Brand's expression didn't relax much: "Brother Ning Yuan, if you come again, I'll be able to block it, this ability is too strong, even if I can avoid high-voltage electricity, I can't isolate the heat, and if I do it again, I'll become a barbecue." ”

"Then we can't let her catch it anymore."

From Brand's crimson skin, you can see how much heat that redhead has caused, and the temperature hasn't dropped until now!

"Fuck, these fucking mega-corporations rely on these high-level supernatural beings to oppress civilians!" Brand's tone was furious: "! ”

"Eh~" Ning Yuan also sighed.

"If it weren't for these high-level abilities, would they have been able to build such a large testing ground and take human lives!" Brand stomped his foot: "What the hell, Dan Fan...... But if there are high-level abilities at the bottom, who can bird these companies, I will be the first to destroy them! ”

"Fuck! He ......" Brand crouched down and whispered, "With such a strong ability, how can I save my daughter." ”

"Don't worry, Brand, I set up a false signal on the network, and she can't find us."

"Ning Yuan, have you ever seen a high-level ability release an ability?" Brand's tone has an inexplicable flavor.

"I haven't seen it." Ning Yuan shook his head.

"They're like gods, they all have the power to destroy the world, and I've seen it, not in those videos on the Internet, but in person." Brand said to Ning Yuan in a trance.

“…… How so? ”

"Fifteen years ago, when I first entered the lower district of Bravel, there was a case in the area." Brand's tone was a little fierce: "A company executive, a stranger, stole his company's confidential documents, killed a bunch of people in order to escape pursuit, and then hid in a skyscraper. ”

Brand paused and continued: "At that time, we arrested him, police cars, floating vehicles, all kinds of heavy firepower were used, it was useless, bullets could not penetrate his skin at all, he could easily throw the armored car to a height of dozens of meters, a car weighing more than ten tons, and with a flick of his hand, he actually went upstairs......"

"You can believe it when you go upstairs?" Brand laughed a few times and continued: "At that time, our police couldn't stop him at all, so the company sent their high-level ability, and that high-level ability was A-class. ”

"A-grade, it's not S-class, so I came over and blew a gust of wind, and the whole building was blown down." Brand said in a low tone, "The whole building! That building is a dense residential area, and there are 80,000 people living in it! 80,000 people, a gust of wind is gone. ”

“……”

Ning Yuan was silent.

He didn't know what to say.

What Brand said didn't look like a lie.

If this is true, then this is an exaggeration.

Ning Yuan asked Stewart, "Is the Adept really so strong?" ”

"Hmm." "As long as there is enough energy, there is almost no limit to the power of the Ability. ”

I'll go.

Is that redhead so scary?

"Don't worry, you have something in your head that the Demon Cave military industry dreams of, and they won't do anything to you." Stewart seemed to hear Ning Yuan's nervousness, and comforted, "At least I won't use devastating moves." ”

"......" Ning Yuan felt that his mood was not much better.

"Damn the Demon Cave Military Industry, I ......" Brand sighed sadly: "Eh~"

"Then it's good not to let her find out." Ning Yuan wanted to pat Brand on the shoulder, but Brand's body was so hot that he could only give up.

So he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, my hacking skills are very strong, and I can blind her vision, we will definitely be able to get out." ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Ning Yuan." Brand took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." I shouldn't be complaining, it's useless. ”

"Don't worry, we'll be able to get out." Ning Yuan said with a smile.

"You're right, we'll take my daughter out." Brand said in a low tone, obviously not having much confidence in his words.

Stewart's voice came: "Ning Yuan, I found it." ”

"Brand, I've found out." Ning Yuan said: "Twenty minutes ago, she was sent upstairs to the algorithm lab, where she was installing and experimenting with the latest control algorithms. ”

Brand's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

The daughter was there experimenting with control algorithms...... It means that she has been inoculated with essentia chips.

If the algorithm is stable, the essentia of people and the ancient gods can be safe.

But...... What if the algorithm is unstable?

Then it will directly become a weird monster!

Thinking about the severed limbs in the sample observation room, Brand felt like he was breathless.

He didn't dare to imagine this result, and said anxiously: "Without further ado, let's go quickly...... By the way, I need to find a dress, I forgot to protect my clothes just now......"

At this moment, he completely forgot the horror of the high-level superpowers, and his eyes were full of worry about his daughter.

Ning Yuan hurriedly found the clothes of the security guards on the ground, and when he was about to hand them to Brand, he was worried: "You are so hot, how can you get dressed?" ”

Fortunately, there is a water pump for firefighting, and after Ning Yuan used a high-pressure water gun to cool down the temperature on Brand's body, Brand put on his clothes.

It's a bit tight, but now it's just a matter of what to do.

Brand didn't want to see his daughter bare-assed, either.

After the two of them left the first core experimental area, it was the fourth sample observation room.

It is also a dense hospital bed, which is full of people who have been persecuted by the military industry of the Demon Cave.

Unlike the other specimen observation rooms, the people here are still lying in their hospital beds, not turning into monsters.

Ning Yuan casually checked a few and found that although they were still alive, they could hardly be said to be human.

Stuck on the edge of madness, it can twist into a monster at any moment.

All of this shows that algorithms are far from stable.

This undoubtedly increased the tension in the hearts of the two.

Brand prayed in his heart, hoping that his daughter would be okay.

"Mercious Father, save my children......"

At the end of the fourth specimen observation room was the stairwell, and after stepping up the stairs, Stewart told Ning Yuan bad news.

"Ning Yuan, the bait I spread has all failed! The redhead is looking for our place, and all the soldiers are gathering here! ”

"How much time do we have?"

"I've spread a new decoy signal, but it's only for a limited amount of time that you can't break out into any fighting." Stewart said with some exasperation: "Damn it! That slut has already discovered our purpose, she's clogged the external network port! ”

Ning Yuan couldn't help but scold: "Made! ”

Is the water retrograde today?

It's really not going well!

Shouldn't I do a transfer ceremony?

What's that...... Silently recite Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, prepare materials, peas? Cabbage? Lamb ......

Hearing Ning Yuan's roar, Brand stopped and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Ning Yuan stopped his rampage and explained the current situation to Brand.

"In other words, act silently, any action may attract that high-level ability."

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded and said, "She is an electromagnetic ability, and she has the ability to feel network signals, and any movement we make may be known to her." ”

"High-level Adept......" Brand had a gloomy face, "What a." ”

Pushing open the door of the stairwell, there is an L-shaped corridor, the whole of the corridor is made of alloy casting, and each section has a steel gate overhanging the ceiling.

A variety of departments are set up on the left and right of the corridor.

essentia synthesis laboratory.

Laboratory of Essentia Physics.

Vault of Divinity Items.

……

Seeing these laboratories, Ning Yuan immediately understood the role of the gate in the corridor.

Obviously, in order to be able to ban and isolate the divine contamination at any time.

After listening to Stewart's explanation, he somewhat understood the structure here, and these laboratories in front of him were all subordinate units of the first test site, integrating scientific research and experiments.

After the first testing ground has researched a major topic, it will be divided into different small projects and tested one by one.

Because of the leakage of contaminated samples, these laboratories are locked down and there are no people.

Security was also deceived by Stewart's decoy signal, and the two made their way through the corridor without any danger.

Walking out of the corridor, there is the canteen hall, and through the canteen is the algorithm research room.

In front of the cafeteria door, Ning Yuan stopped Brand, who was about to open the door, because he received a warning from Stewart.

"Stewart, what's going on?"

"That slut did a signal shield too!" Stewart shouted angrily: "I changed to a new algorithm to screen the signals, Ning Yuan, she has a large number of soldiers hiding around!" We're surrounded. ”

"What?"

"See for yourself!"

A three-dimensional model of the laboratory appeared in Ning Yuan's field of vision, and Stewart marked the location of the two with blue dots.

Around the blue dots, there are dense red dots.

Especially in the cafeteria hall in front, the red dots are dense and terrifying.

Looking at those dense red dots, Ning Yuan had a heart that wanted to jump out of the screen and strangle the author to death.

Don't...... Is this a tragic abusive article? (This is not an abusive text)

Isn't it a popular cool article now? (This is a cool article...... )

Shaking his head, Ning Yuan threw some gratuitous thoughts out of his mind, strangled the author, and he just said and played.

He knew that he couldn't be the male protagonist of the online article.

It's just a sad unlucky bastard.

The first task now is to come up with a way to crack it.

Since the previous life has become a phantom due force majeure, it is even more cherished now and cannot be explained here.

Lao Tzu wants to get out!

Lao Tzu wants to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas!

Lao Tzu wants to enjoy a good life in this world!

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself.

After thinking about it, he shared this 3D model with Brand:

"Brand, I was deceived by that electromagnetic adept, she disguised a large number of troops in front and surrounded us!"

Then Ning Yuan pointed to the corridor and said: "The troops are gathering downstairs, this corridor is narrow, there is no way to avoid it, we have to go down first to avoid being made dumplings, and then hide in the elevator shaft, and wait for the patrol to be completed." ”

Brand frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?" ”

"No, we must have enough depth to move around so that we can have a chance to survive and save your daughter."

"Huh." Brand sighed and said, "Okay. ”

Ning Yuan turned his head and said, "Then let's go quickly......"

"I'm sorry."

Brand grabbed Ning Yuan's clothes and threw him into the cafeteria hall violently, then his body faded into the air.

This is...... The ability of invisibility?

"I'm sorry, my daughter can't afford to wait."

Looking at Brand who was invisible in the air, Ning Yuan's brain instantly shut down.

"Ni! Cornelian! ”
