64 -64: Upgrade Plan

Despite his lack of hope, Xiang Shan still went to check the crash site of the Blue Steel Vulture.

He didn’t find the chip.

“The ‘Blue Steel Vulture’…

I was wondering, if his external armor was very high in strength and a rifle couldn’t penetrate it, what then?” Xiang Shan poked the debris on the ground with his finger and sighed, “Just to be safe, better to use their organization’s anti-aircraft artillery to finish it.

That there’s no drop is to be expected!”

Since he had the authority of the Z organization’s boss, Xiang Shan naturally could command the smart weapons here.

He had just called in the anti-aircraft artillery to execute Daniel.

As for Little Edward, he died under the gunfire of Blue Steel Vulture Daniel.

Xiang Shan had even planned to fire a few more shots.

Thus, the wilderness returned to its deathly silence, only the crying of a young girl remained.

Yuki looked at the dead woman and the child, sighing, “Her mom is dead…

she must be very sad.”

Xiang Shan said to Yuki, “Don’t project your own experiences onto…

never mind.”

“What?”

“I’m just telling you not to be too sad,” Xiang Shan said.

“You must be thinking of your own mother.”

Yuki, who hadn’t heard the dangerous dialogue at the end, thought this girl was the dead woman’s daughter.

But Xiang Shan, through the circuit, had heard Little Edward’s final conversation.

However…

it probably wasn’t necessary to tell Yuki.

The lad was still young, and it wouldn’t be good if he harbored hatred just because of the genetic traits on the baby girl.

Xiang Shan said, “Dig a hole and bury her.”

Yuki was startled, “Burial?

What is that?”

“Right, I forgot, you no longer have that custom,” Xiang Shan shook his head.

“Dig a hole, put the lady’s prosthetic body in it, and wait for it to naturally decompose.

It’s a way to respect her once being human.”

Yuki nodded, half understanding, and started to dig a hole in the ground.

Xiang Shan found some sealant silicone from other thugs, then filled the terrifying wound on the back of Emiko’s head.

Then, he turned the woman’s body over and gently closed her eyes.

Her last action had been to protect the baby.

“Such a noble spirit, madam,” Xiang Shan bowed his head, “I salute you.

I will take responsibility for taking that baby to a safe place.”

Soon, a grave large enough for one person was ready.

Xiang Shan picked up the woman’s body.

The toddler didn’t understand what was happening and cried desperately, kicking at Xiang Shan.

Yuki had to take the girl away.

She struggled fiercely.

Xiang Shan placed the woman’s body in the grave.

By the time he had finished filling the dirt, the toddler had cried herself to unconsciousness.

Xiang Shan shook his head and turned to walk into the corridor, “Keep up with me this time.”

Yuki, carrying the girl, followed him.

More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the nearest base entrance to that entryway.

This place was not the motorcycle parking lot, but another warehouse.

The large door opened a crack, emitting a terrifying heat.

Xiang Shan waved his hand, “You two still have skin, don’t rush in, wait a few hours.”

Yuki shook his head from side to side and noticed that the inside was filled with bodies.

Many of their poses were rigid and contorted, unknown what they had gone through.

Actually, after receiving Yuki’s news, Xiang Shan had come out of this door.

Next to this door was the warehouse.

Xiang Shan casually took a few weapons from inside.

He first stood far inside, throwing metal aerosol bombs towards this direction.

The high-density metal aerosol quickly filled the entire space.

Many thugs short-circuited on the spot, severely affecting the actions of others.

Then came the bombs.

The explosions ignited the metal aerosol in the air, triggering an even larger explosion.

That was how Xiang Shan cleared a path.

Although Yuki didn’t know what had happened, he nodded in awe.

Xiang Shan quickly rushed through the high-temperature zone, casually fanning himself.

As he passed the armory, suddenly several grenades were thrown out from the inside.

But Xiang Shan just glanced and braced on one leg while kicking the grenades back with the Power of the other leg then took a strong push on the ground and rolled away from the directly opposite direction of the armory’s doors.

Then, a series of explosions shook the ground.

“Four more dead.

Let me see…

there should still be about…

twenty to thirty people left inside?”

In any case, that was manageable.

Thinking this, Xiang Shan wandered through the base’s surveillance, intending to clean up loose ends before Yuki entered.

After all, it wasn’t good for a child to see R-rated scenes.

About ten minutes later, Xiang Shan returned to Little Poison Insect’s training room.

He didn’t waste words but directly commanded the chip in Little Poison Insect’s skull to pop out.

Xiang Shan took the chip and memory stick directly, then reviewed the last half-hour of thoughts intently.

He sighed.

It looks like Little Poison Insect really didn’t lie to him.

That kind of…

that kind of devastation was indeed irreversible.

He didn’t waste any more words and carelessly scooped out Little Poison Insect’s brain, then messily inserted some flexible electrodes, and threw it into the preservative liquid.

Perhaps this very lucky Internal Strength Master would hate the cell damage resistance granted to New Humans by genetic engineering technology back in the day.

By then, Organization Z had been officially destroyed.

Xiang Shan walked up to a brain that was still alive.

He did not know if there was any consciousness left inside it.

But such irreversible transformation could only bring distorted pain.

He placed his palm on the glass container, then emitted ultrasonic waves.

The strong ultrasound could create local pressure differences within the liquid, causing the liquid to generate a large number of bubbles that appear and disappear instantly, thereby shattering the cells within the liquid.

In just a few seconds, the brain seemed to dissolve in the nutrient solution.

“Sorry,” Xiang Shan said to the emulsified liquid.

He freed the remaining brains one by one.

Then, he punched and shattered the storage device that Vigorous Kui carried on his back.

That was the “collective memory” of Organization Z.

“Damn it,” Xiang Shan growled to himself in the empty darkness, “Technology is without will…

Technology is without will…

Damn it…

Technology is without will…”

Merely viewing Lev and Gleayard’s memories did not vividly make him realize the distortion of Green Forest.

But after eradicating the strongholds, he had understood.

He completely understood.

This world was a colossal mistake, and the existence of Green Forest was just a mere reflection of this error.

The “common memory” that Green Forest used to propagate itself, the roots of its technology, had nothing different from the technology used by heroes to exchange Martial Arts experiences.

The precursor of this technology was a “learning technology” for Cybernetically Enhanced People — aimed to “reform the education industry” by directly injecting knowledge into the brain.

Xiang Shan’s arms trembled.

Humans were supposed to rely on this technology to advance from the “Freemen Class” to the “Self Class”…

—Strange, why am I so angry…

—Strange…

Strange…

Strange…

“You bastards!” Xiang Shan suddenly grabbed Little Poison Insect’s battered body and slammed it against the wall.

If a distorted person used this technology to record their twisted emotions…

It was like a mental HIV.

You have to admit, the transmissibility of HIV isn’t great — a disease that must be transmitted through bodily fluids is far outpaced in contagion rates by pneumonia and hepatitis.

But it is still terrifying enough.

HIV destroys the immune system itself.

Once humans contract HIV, there is almost no chance of healing by themselves.

The same goes for the Green Forest memory.

It destroys the personality itself.

But this technology shouldn’t be used for these purposes.

No…

the distortion doesn’t stop there.

Cybernetic Transformation technology wasn’t intended to turn people into tools.

It was technology for humans to conquer all diseases, all innate limitations, all imperfections.

Xiang Shan held his head: “No, even the ‘Martial Arts’ technology is deformed…”

There were so many simpler military technologies than “Cybernetically Enhanced People fighting” in the world, so why did this world become a world of Martial Arts?

Geek culture was inherently accompanied by the spirit of sharing found in open source, so why did the hacker technology that elevated to the realm of Inner Strength completely obliterate the spirit of open-source?

“Exactly where did things go wrong…”

“What era am I from?

What exactly happened during the time I was asleep?”

…………………………………

When Yuki saw Xiang Shan again, it was several hours later.

Yuki didn’t know what had happened, but from the interactions over these days, he could read from Xiang Shan’s body language…

Master seemed not at all happy.

“Master…

you seem…”

“In a good mood?” Xiang Shan answered while collecting scraps of metal on the ground, “Ah, because there are really plenty of resources here.

I think my prosthetic body can go up a level this time.

Give me a few days, and I can transform completely, getting a much stronger prosthetic body.”

As Xiang Shan said this, he continued to tidy up.

After a while, he stood up and said, “The ‘donkey’ has arrived.

You continue sorting through the rubbish here, find those prosthetic bodies and devices that aren’t too badly damaged, I need to go out for a bit.”

This was also considered one of the basic skills of a hero.

Without understanding the design logic of the prosthetic body, one couldn’t even decode the Listening Skill.

“Destroying the center of gravity” is also based on having a certain understanding of the prosthetic structure.

Yuki nodded, suppressing his discomfort, and went to look for the prosthetic bodies that weren’t too severely damaged.

Soon, Xiang Shan came over leading the “donkey”.

“Alright, the tasks ahead are still quite hefty,” Xiang Shan said.

“Changing the spine, designing the prosthetic body, repairing the prosthetic hand, making a skull…

Oh, and upgrading the ‘donkey.’ It’s best if it can be done within four days.”

Yuki was startled, “That urgent?

Can’t we properly upgrade here in this base?”

Xiang Shan nodded, “No kidding.

There are still so many Green Forest Strongholds on this land.

We need time to take them down one by one.”
