The experience of collapse, the beginning of thousands of people

It was precisely because of this feeling that Mebius kept hugging Cheng Xing, because she really felt that if she didn't hug this guy, he would really disappear, which made Mebius who was already very curious Immediately, I thought about it, although such a trivial matter as being taken advantage of by the body would still make people care, but what is more important is this strange symptom.

"...Actually, I have a mental illness."

"Sure enough, I said you shouldn't be so mature and capable at your age, so what is your mental illness? Hypermemory or something like that?"

"Split personality disorder, and I suspect there are hundreds of them."

"...Go back to the laboratory immediately, I want to check it carefully."

The two of them were like this, didn't even eat breakfast, and hurried back to the research institute after changing their clothes.

Chapter 68: The First Herrscher Exits

When the two arrived at the research institute, before they had time to check Cheng Xing's physical condition carefully, Klein immediately started reporting.

"Doctor, although I really want to know what happened yesterday, but the situation is very urgent now. The mutant individual that appeared yesterday has already caused the destruction of a city, and now the Flaming Moth has launched a comprehensive meeting, I think you need to get involved right away."

Faced with this urgent situation, Mebius also knew that now was not the time to check Cheng Xing's body, so he immediately came to the data desk and joined the upper-level conference call.

As soon as Mebius entered, he saw a group of people who were arguing.

"So in the current situation, it is necessary to use a large number of missiles to directly turn that area into flat ground! Even if we send out nuclear bombs, we will not hesitate. We must kill this extremely dangerous individual immediately!"

"No! What we should think about now is to reduce the opponent's strength as much as possible, and then find a way to capture him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This unreasonable natural disaster-like phenomenon is undergoing drastic changes for the first time. We must grasp it This opportunity, otherwise, if this kind of mutation occurs again in the future, can we just rely on it to fight like this? By then, how much land will humans have left for you to squander!"

"But we don't have that much ability to weaken that guy. All the planes we dispatched have been intercepted from high altitude by those strange beings, and because this strange disaster is extremely harmful to us humans, we dispatched All of them are unmanned machines, and these unmanned machines cannot be the opponents of those beasts!"

"Besides bombarding that area with missiles, tell me what other ways to weaken that monster!"

The different factions of the United Nations were constantly quarreling, while the representatives of the Moths watched with cold eyes, and one of them noticed that Mebius had joined the call at this time.

He cheered up immediately, and then shouted loudly: "All we know now is just guesswork, and it happens that Dr. Mebius in our organization is the most researched talent in this field, let her explain the disaster What is the situation."

Then the small screen of Mebius instantly occupied the entire main screen, and everyone could clearly see her frowning standing in front of the camera, and behind her were several researchers who looked like assistants. personnel.

Mebius took a deep breath, knowing that she had to say something at this time, she began to talk about the great changes brought about by the natural disaster of its collapse, and told them how shocking this disaster was. Incomprehensible and terrifying.

Cheng Xing stood back with a calm expression and listened to Mebius and the high-level officials talking about Honkai, while he was thinking about a very troubled question.

"Since I was a child, I can feel the feeling of being guided by people behind me. Many times when I am doing things, I always feel that I hear someone pointing me. And when I can really see people The time was two years before the disaster... If it was really because of the collapse... that means the world collapsed a few years ago."

"From the information I heard last night, those people collectively call themselves losers. They are constantly heading towards the abyss of destruction. However, they firmly believe that I can change everything and I can do things that they cannot. Split personality Disorder can indeed cause such inexplicable delusions, but if I have really split so many personalities, then I will never stand here so quietly now. Is this split personality disorder, or do I just have delusions disease?"

"No, it's impossible. I should understand since I carried Dr. Mebius on my back for such a long distance last night and still didn't feel any huge physical damage and loss."

"I am also transforming into that so-called special individual."

"So that is to say... Suppose, suppose that what I saw yesterday was not delusional, and everything they said was true...Add to that inexplicable familiarity...I am not fully conscious now. I have Some memory must be missing, no, even my past memories may be programmed."

"My current identity, body, feelings, and even past memories may all be false."

After Cheng Xing came to this conclusion, he didn't feel any strong impact or sense of illusion. He felt an inexplicable...peace.

It was as if he knew this result in his heart.

"So to sum up, it is unlikely that we will destroy that special individual's body while keeping it, so what we should do now is to use all human weapons to kill it."

After hearing the unreasonable contagiousness of the Honkai, the people who originally wanted to try to preserve the corpse of that special individual finally agreed to the hardliners.

Afterwards, many destructive missiles condensed with the crystallization of human wisdom rose into the sky and bombarded the marked area.

Accompanied by endless flames, that area turned into scorched earth.

People can't know whether that special individual has been eliminated, they can only wait for the subsequent changes to be over before continuing to send drones to check in the depths.

If even this overwhelming missile swarm didn't wipe out this guy, then I'm afraid we can only use the most terrifying weapons.

Simply, after the drone went in and explored for a day, no one found that special existence, and after sending soldiers in, no one finally found any unreasonable mutation or death.

This time, the collapse of the natural disaster was barely over.

After a while of discussion, people named that particular individual.

lawyer.

When the soldiers were exploring among the ruins, someone discovered a blue crystal, like a bright gemstone falling into the dust.Feeling curious, he reached out to touch it directly, only to be met by the horrified eyes of his companions.

Purple lines lit up on the man's body, and under the scream of the soldier, his body mutated into a white-purple monster.

Chariot level Honkai Beast.

Chapter 69: The Crow and the Snake

The monster transformed by that soldier did cause some trouble, but even so, it couldn't stop the pouring of artillery fire, and was quickly knocked down by several soldiers carrying special individual combat bazookas.

Afterwards, many people looked in horror at the faint blue gemstone not far from the corpse. No one was willing to step forward, even the scientific researchers in chemical protective suits did not dare to touch that gemstone.

Finally, the equipment was transferred, and the gem and the ground under it were packed into an airtight alloy box, and then transported by machinery to the unmanned aircraft. After transporting out, the soldiers felt relieved Take a breath.

After learning about the special features of the gemstone, the high-level officials decided to transport the gemstone to Mebius' laboratory after a lot of discussion.

By the way, Mebius has moved from the original remote research institute to a laboratory in a certain base of Flaming Moth. As the doctor who has the deepest understanding of the phenomenon of Honkai so far, the organization provided her with a A lot of power and money, let her study the specificity of this gem.

Outside the airtight cabin of the laboratory, Mebius observed through the glass the gems that had been taken out by the mechanical arm, and looked at the exponentially rising Honkai energy displayed in the instrument, her eyes showed excitement. look.

"This gemstone is spontaneously exuding Houkai energy. Oh, that term is my name for the special energy produced by the Houkai phenomenon. This energy is very corrosive and contagious, as long as creatures come into contact with this energy There is a high probability that it will mutate and become that kind of silicon-based life."

"It's simply unbelievable. This kind of energy can directly turn a carbon-based life into a silicon-based life, and produce a large amount of energy and incomprehensible changes in body structure out of thin air. This is a special energy like a god. If we humans can By making perfect use of this energy to evolve ourselves, we can get rid of our current fragile bodies and become an unimaginably powerful existence, even gods!"

Mebius's face is full of fanatical research desire, which is a kind of fanaticism shown when he sees that his lifelong wish may be realized.

Cheng Xing, as an assistant, continued to help Mebius to study the degree of erosion of the Houkai energy to the surrounding environment and the physical reaction of living things when they come into direct contact with the Houkai energy.

Klein is doing his old job, dealing with a large amount of residual data after the experiment.

Cheng Xing calmly recorded the various changes that creatures and Hoonkai can produce. This work seems to be natural, and he doesn't even need to experiment to know what kind of changes will happen to a creature after being in contact with Hoonkai. It is even possible to know which creatures will become what kind of monsters after contact with collapse.

He can even call out the names of those monsters.

This more and more verified a certain conjecture in his mind that he definitely had a memory that was deleted or changed.

In other words, my present is definitely not my complete self.

Although he easily accepted the truth of this matter, it inevitably brought about a somewhat confused future. After knowing that everything about him might be arranged by others, he couldn't help feeling this kind of confusion.

"What should I do? How should I move forward? Is my path really set? Does it make sense for me to continue?"

Whenever Cheng Xing thinks about these issues, he always forces himself to focus on experiments and work, so as to forget the confusion and hesitation that made him very uncomfortable.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is that he actively cooperates with Mebius' various willful and unreasonable experiments, and no matter how terrible and bloody experiments are, he can always look directly at them with a blank face. And record it in detail.

This makes other researchers who sometimes come to help judge him like a crow.

Watching a creature die in peace, then eating their dead carcasses.

Crows are scavengers, and Cheng Xing's current job is to send various creatures into direct contact with Honkai, let them die and mutate, and then record the process to get the results, which is also like a scavenger.

Sometimes everyone suspects that even if the person thrown in is a human being, this guy can still record it with a blank face, without any pity or sympathy during the process.

"Mebius is like a poisonous snake. You can tell that he is a very dangerous person at first glance. And that Cheng Xing, at first glance, is nothing, but once you observe his work situation, you will know that he is an extremely indifferent guy. Almost like a crow watching its prey die."

That's what everyone said in private, and the behavior of these two guys made the situation of the two being squeezed out in the base of the fire moth more and more serious.

Although Mebius didn't pay much attention to it, he never went to the cafeteria again.

And Cheng Xing...

"Doctor, I helped you bring some of your favorite dishes from the cafeteria."

Cheng Xing came back from the outside with a packed meal. He didn't care about the comments and opinions of others on him, and he didn't care about himself. When he went to the cafeteria, some people would always leave him in fear. He just went about his own way.

He was never alone anyway.

Mebius didn't respond, but fell asleep lying on the table. Sure enough, he probably only slept for a few hours last night.

Cheng Xing put the food aside first, looked at the clock, and made sure that there was still about an hour and a half before the noon break, and she could still sleep for a while.

Although the so-called work and rest time is arranged by the doctor, since it has been set, neither of them will break that rule. Even if they have been busy for a long time yesterday, they will rush to the laboratory as scheduled the next day .

Cheng Xing hadn't stayed long when he heard some chaotic voices outside, and then saw the two sisters coming.

"Doctor, you want the milk tea I bought, and I bought it... Hey, why did the doctor fall asleep? Didn't you just ask me to buy milk tea?"

Danzhu looked at Mebius who seemed to have fallen asleep with a strange expression.

"Let's put the milk tea aside. If there is nothing else, let's go out first. Don't disturb the doctor's sleep."

Just as Cheng Xing was about to leave, Dan Zhu asked a question suddenly.

"I've been wanting to ask you something lately, but you're busier than us, and you can't find any opportunities at all. Now I just have some free time, so I want to ask. Why are you so active in helping Dr. Mebius?"

As if feeling something, Mebius turned his head and continued to sleep soundly.

"Because the Doctor needs my help."

Cheng Xing said so.

"Hey, but because of this, your reputation outside has also become very bad. Everyone says you are a cold-blooded scavenger."

"So what, if they reject it, they reject it, anyway, I'm not alone."

When Cheng Xing said this, he glanced at the old guy in the corner who was smoking a cigarette by himself.

Mebius turned his head again.

Chapter 70: Don't Want to Disappear

The experiment was rarely stopped today, the reason being that in order to check the progress of the experiment, the higher-ups specially called Dr. Mebius into the meeting room for discussion.

Klein accompanied him in as an assistant for data collation and reporting, while Cheng Xing stayed in the laboratory to deal with some follow-up.

And now he was standing in that room without wearing any protective measures, in the room that stored some unknown gem left by the Herrscher after his death.

He has deliberately dismissed all other researchers and locked the door of the current laboratory to ensure that no one can enter while he is conducting human experiments.

Strange, there is no one else here, so the subject of the human experiment... yes, it is himself.

Cheng Xing's whole body was directly exposed to the Houkai energy, but he didn't have a rapid body alienation like that soldier, and he felt the great pain caused by the body mutation, but he felt as happy as a fish in water.

He took a deep breath, and at the same time, he didn't feel relaxed, but instead felt a sense of heaviness that he couldn't escape.

"It has been three months since I was addicted to work. During these three months, I have not allowed myself to think, and have been focusing all my attention on research. But now I have to face Regarding this problem, my current body can no longer be considered a human being.”
