Chapter 262: I have never seen such a shameless person
Is the boss...crazy?
In the Dongfeng.
Looking at the beautiful girl version of the Valkyrie Posa carried back by Yang Ming, Lu's beautiful simulated face was full of confusion.
However, Yang Ming had already skillfully thrown Posu aside, grabbed the new lightsaber, and in front of Lu, he laboriously poked holes in Posu's joints.
This will ensure that Posu is temporarily unable to move.
"Lü, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and make a continuous jump back to Luofeng. Get out the No. 2 living ship we prepared earlier and move it to the edge of Luofeng, as far away from the main administrative planet as possible."
"Oh...oh! Okay! But this..."
Lu opened his mouth.
What just happened?
Could it be that the boss has always been short-sighted, and this time he saw Posa's appearance clearly from a close distance and then felt some kind of impulse?
Although the boss is indeed in a period of emotional emptiness, this is too...
That's not right either.
Lu reviewed the sudden increase in information in his main brain.
This information came from nowhere, but it contained technology that was far beyond her understanding, and it was all about biology and bioenergy.
Lu is now certain that something must have happened in the dimension that she could not observe directly.
There’s no point thinking about these things. Just ask the boss later.
The Dongfeng has recovered two 50-meter-class gunboats, the mechanical warriors in the tail cabin have also been released from combat status, and the remaining drones have begun to destroy each other.
There is no problem leaving the wreckage of the drone. Lu has erased all the information in advance so that people will not associate the white ghost with activities here.
The Dongfeng began to accelerate towards the nearby gravitational stability zone.
On the outskirts of the devastated town, a camera somewhere slowly rose up, as if a mechanical lifeform was looking up and watching them leave from afar.
…
"Boss, have you reached an agreement with the Fayya people? If you don't kill Posa, they will help you become an ancient god life form like Posa."
"correct."
"Boss, you are indeed crazy," Lu said with a look of shock on his face, "You are just throwing yourself into the fire. Po Suo was their experimental subject, and you turned yourself into an experimental subject as well."
"So I am sure that the other party will not refuse."
Yang Ming squinted and smiled.
He crossed his legs proudly. Having solved his biggest worry, he now just wanted to go to the nightclub on Yilando Star to relax and make his own small contribution to the economic development of Yilando Star.
Lu looked confused.
"Boss, I still don't understand."
"First of all, when the Fayya people showed up, I knew I couldn't kill Posa."
Yang Ming shook the nutritional drink in his hand.
“The reason is simple, the Fayya people look at us like ants crawling on paper.
“Why is the invasion of a high-dimensional civilization, which occurs less frequently and usually has less impact than insect plagues and machine crises, listed as the first disaster?
"Because we cannot fight against higher-dimensional civilizations. This is the most basic logic."
"That's right," Lu nodded, "So, boss, you choose to endure it?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's not that I'm forbearing, but I'm trying to get some benefits after recognizing the reality. I took advantage of my pioneer status, and the other party didn't need to bother with me about these things. The details they don't care about are the space for me to get benefits."
"But, becoming an ancient god, genetic evolution... is this a benefit to you, boss?"
"The cell clusters regenerate infinitely."
Lu frowned visibly.
Yang Ming said calmly: "Just this one benefit is enough for me to take the risk of losing control. Moreover, the technology given by the Faya people should include how to keep my humanity instead of the characteristics of the ancient gods."
"But boss, if you take this step forward, it is likely to shake your self-perception."
"Look at her, she's an example."
Yang Ming pointed at the medium-sized transport ship outside the porthole. Behind the floor-to-ceiling window , a graceful body was floating quietly.
The transport ship was right in front of the Dongfeng's gun barrel, and they could destroy Posa at any time.
Yang Ming asked: "Do you think she is an ancient god or a human?"
"Ancient God, she is desperate to devour the boss."
"No, she is human," Yang Ming whispered, "She has been human from the very beginning, she has never been lost."
Lu: "Even if you are my boss, your argument must be supported by sufficient evidence to convince me!"
"When I first fought her, I saw her exquisite women's underwear with floral patterns," Yang Ming said, "a very cute bra, worn under her tights."
law:……
"Well, that doesn't mean anything, boss."
"Do you think the ancient god has a sense of shame like humans? Why would she add a layer of underwear inside the tights that should be vacuum-free?"
"It is also possible that both ancient divinity and human nature exist, but the proportions of the two are different," Lu explained calmly, "and boss, when you face the Zerg and enter that special combat state, the ancient divinity will outweigh the human nature."
Yang Ming asked: "Then can you explain why she went to school before she was sure that she was about to be surrounded by us?"
"Well, maybe it's just something I wanted to do on a whim."
"She longs for it," Yang Ming said calmly, "From my understanding, she wants to experience life there before I most likely dismantle her with my main gun."
"But Boss, none of this can cover up her cruelty of wanting to devour a living person directly. This is something that humans don't have."
"So," Yang Ming raised his hand and hooked it on Lu's shoulder as if he was facing a buddy, "you need to carefully verify the things the Faya people sent, do more preliminary experiments on the Dark Star, and then use it on me."
Lu whispered, "The information also contains the location of the remaining ancient god cells. They are still stored in a research institute in the Empire, in the Imperial Star Circle."
"That's not urgent."
Yang Ming looked out the porthole and stared at Posa.
“I can’t use the Ancient God Cells directly yet. To be on the safe side, I will talk to Posa first and seize her power so that I can gradually adapt to the improvement of my physical strength.
“When she can no longer pose a threat to me and I can completely suppress her, then she will become the target to be devoured.
"Whether she can survive depends on whether I can let the ancient divinity surpass my humanity."
"Boss, are you treating her as a battery?"
"You can understand it this way," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Come on, call Xiao 26 over, and let's discuss the Faya civilization together. I got some very interesting information today. The Faya civilization finally showed us a little bit of itself."
Lu immediately agreed.
In fact, what she admires most about her boss is that he has a strong curiosity about the unknown and always takes action to satisfy his curiosity.
…
"The First Group has completed the jump."
"Repeat, the First Group has completed the jump."
At the border of the New Federation, more than ten inducing lights appeared in the desolate and empty space, and around the lights, warships began to appear.
They seemed to suddenly appear in the "picture", the silver-white light film wrapped around the ship's hull quietly dissolved, and the protective shield was fully opened.
Vice Admiral Thomas, the Imperial general who had made great contributions in the fight against the Zerg swarm, was now standing on the bridge command deck of the dreadnought flagship.
He received medals and was promoted to an honorary title, but he had no time to go home to see his parents, wife and children. After regrouping, he set out on his journey again.
"General, no enemy ships detected."
"Perform clearance steps to welcome other groups."
"yes!"
Thomas gave a simple order and then focused on the various data in front of him.
The so-called clearance means clearing all enemy detectors and mines in the nearby airspace to ensure the safety of more subsequent warships.
When the enemy is a human fleet, the battle environment and tactics become much more complicated, and our own intelligence work is not as good as the enemy, which is a huge disadvantage.
In Thomas's view, this is a disadvantage that is very likely to pose a fatal threat.
Therefore, he assumed that his every move was under the surveillance of the other side and remained extremely vigilant at all times.
This is also the main reason why the military formulated this tactic - using twice the enemy's main force to directly push Mingte Star.
'There is no room for carelessness.'
Thomas reminded himself.
"Repeat the clear-air command for all ships, and clear the meteorite belt in the left airspace. Don't just use the detector to scan it once and think everything is fine."
"yes!"
Lieutenant General Thomas sighed softly.
There is an abyss next to you, and if you take a slight misstep you will be crushed to pieces.
…
Inside the Dongfeng, Lu and 026 hid on the sofa in the corner, looking at the projection screen in front of them.
The projection screen showed the situation on the transport ship a few hundred meters away.
In the center of the screen, Boss Yang is wearing an exoskeleton armor with two hilts of the Goddess' Happy Swords slung around his waist. At the edge of the screen, you can see the barrels of laser cannons, and all the barrels are pointing at the girl lying on the single bed in tattered clothes.
Yang Ming was waiting for Po Su to wake up.
"What an amazing self-healing ability," Lu praised in a low voice, "The boss had stabbed her in the face with many penetrating wounds before, but now they have all healed, and there is not even a single scar on her skin."
026 also praised quietly: "This skin looks so smooth."
"No, no, no, your skin is smoother. Let me touch it."
"Ah! Lu, be serious! I'm trying to digest the knowledge my boss taught me... Hahaha! Hate it! Watch out or I'll unscrew your brain!"
The two laughed and joked for a while, but in the end 026 begged for mercy.
She sat there breathlessly, continuing to think about some key words that Yang Ming had just said.
Ascension of mind, ascension of collective mind, virtual brain enveloping the entire galaxy, manipulation of information to modify the surface of rules, time discontinuity, there may be only a small number of real Faya people, individual Faya people may be the sum of the thoughts of a huge collective... and so on.
"Oh, my head is going to burn off."
026 sighed dejectedly:
"I'd better just work for my boss honestly. Can a maintenance worker like me who hasn't even graduated from college really figure out these things?"
"Give up, mortal," Lu said with a grin, "I can't explain these problems clearly for the time being."
"She's awake!" 026's eyes lit up. "The Valkyrie has opened her eyes! Turn up the volume!"
The volume bar on the projection screen slowly rose.
The girl who was newly locked on the projection screen had a somewhat empty look in her eyes, as if she had woken up but her brain was still staying in bed.
Her crown of thorns was dangling on Yang Ming's fingers.
The girl turned her head and looked at Yang Ming, and asked in a hoarse and weak voice:
"You won't devour me?"
Yang Ming did not answer, but said: "There are clothes to change next to you, please be careful to protect your privacy."
The girl was stunned.
She sat up slowly, turned her body slowly, and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead.
Then, she raised her hand and touched the remaining clothes on her body. These clothes seemed to be simulated by some kind of biological conjunctiva, and now they dissolved on their own, revealing her glowing white figure.
Yang Ming had his back to her.
026 in the corner of the Dongfeng quickly covered his eyes, and then... opened his fingers.
With a rustle, the girl put on the somewhat loose blue maintenance uniform.
Her long hair was slowly gathered together, and a strand of hair was bent by itself and used as a hair tie to tie her hair behind her.
"You win."
She spoke softly, her eyes continuing to be empty.
Yang Ming then turned around and stopped spinning the crown of thorns in his hand.
"Want to talk?" He tried to make his voice gentle.
The girl said calmly: "I don't have any pre-existing cells."
"Really?" Yang Ming smiled. "So, if you die now, you are really dead?"
"I have been surpassed by you."
"I'm curious about your current state," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Is it because your power has not yet recovered, so you can still think like a human?"
She didn't answer.
Yang Ming said slowly, "Every time you died, I was able to take away some of your strength. I kept fighting the queen insect, which also increased that strange biological energy. Gradually, the ratio between us went from 1 and 20 to 1 and 10, 1 and 5, and 1 and 1.6. Before this battle, your strength had not recovered to its current peak, so the strength comparison between us was actually 1 and 0.6, right?"
Posa said: "Then, you used the battleship."
"My muscles are my strength, and my ships and fleets are also my strength."
Yang Ming put his hands behind his back and smiled leisurely:
"Since the first time you failed to beat me, you were destined to have this day."
Posa frowned tightly.
She stared at Yang Ming: "If you devour me, you will gain great power and become a true god."
"God? This is a bit embarrassing. I never thought that an individual could become a god. I only believe that civilization can reach the god level."
Yang Ming calmly changed the subject:
"Have you ever had direct contact with the Fayya civilization?"
"Faya?" She looked puzzled.
"Did you hear any noises?"
She just looked at Yang Ming quietly.
Yang Ming shook the crown of thorns in his hand: "It, where did you come from?"
Posa was silent.
She seemed to be trying to regain some strength, and a desire to devour appeared in her eyes, but soon the desire receded and she began to think again.
After about five or six minutes, Po Su finally spoke:
"It seems to be a product of my evolution, after a cellular remodeling."
Yang Ming snapped his fingers in his heart.
As expected, the Fayya people would not communicate with her directly.
He was able to communicate directly with the Faya people. Besides taking a risky move and really forcing that thinking body into a corner, his identity as a forerunner and an Omnic Twilight candidate also helped a lot.
So...
Wouldn't that be easy to fool?
Yang Ming sighed softly, used his acting skills that had been exposed by the Faya people, and put the crown aside.
He said slowly: "Po Suo, you can actually suppress the ancient god side, right? Do you know why I didn't kill you?"
Posa shook her head slightly.
“I am alone.”
Yang Ming's eyes were slightly red. He took a deep breath, turned his head and looked out the window. He spoke slowly in a low, emotional voice:
“We are all alone.
“There are 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, and the current human civilization has a population of over 2 trillion, but I can’t find another life form similar to me.
"His transformation experiment has pushed you, me, and all of us directly into the abyss of loneliness. We are all moving forward and groping in loneliness, searching for the meaning of existence.
“I actually want to kill you, to get rid of you for my own protection.
“Posa, my lightsaber was only a few millimeters away from your brain, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it because I knew that if I killed you and devoured you, I would be trapped in eternal loneliness in this vast universe.”
He looked up at Posa, looking at the girl.
"Can you be my partner? Just a life form similar to me."
The girl stood there in a daze, pursing her lips slightly. Her lifeless eyes were now filled with wrinkles, and her eyes were rippling gently.
She lowered her head again with disappointment, staring at the lines on her palms, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the Dongfeng.
law:……
026:……
"Lü, why is our boss so shameless?"
"It can protect against lasers and is used to protect the brain."
"I believe it."
There was silence for half an hour on the transport ship.
Suddenly, Posha's body began to tremble slightly.
She looked up at Yang Ming, nodded calmly, and whispered :
"Can."
Yang Ming was stunned.
Really?
Before Yang Ming could react, the girl's graceful body suddenly collapsed and turned into wisps of fine ashes, leaving only a pink cell cluster the size of a fingernail.
Boom.
The cell cluster made a sound similar to a heartbeat.
