Start with a Mechanical Hunter

  Chapter 39 Brain in a Jar

   Something from that place?

  The senior engineer frowned at the thought of the failed scientific research.

   "What is it?"

  Huang Yuanli shook her head painfully.

   "I can sense its existence. It is huge and painful. It is like a mindless person, a ghost without a body."

   "You just contacted me through it, right?" Gao Gong said with a move in his heart.

"Yes, I found the professor. The professor didn't reject me at first, but let me drink a cup of coffee. After that, I have been hallucinating, but before this hallucination was only intermittent, I didn't take it seriously. ."

   "And when our resistance failed and I was whipped, the hallucinations got worse, and when I was completely unconscious, I realized that I seemed to be a part of it."

   "I can 'see' a lot of things that I couldn't see before, the thoughts of the electronic bee, the mood of the mechanical dog, and even the thoughts of this forest. It is also angry and painful."

  The senior engineer did not speak, but glanced at the system panel.

  [You are controlled by 'telepathy', your vision is cut off, and you are blinded]

  Telepathy (Mechanical) (Elementary): A super ability that can perceive the human heart, and it can perceive not only the "human heart".

   "It seems that what the professor gave you should be some kind of 'hypersensory medicine', and luckily, you woke up; in the radiation zone, the telepathy on the mechanical side is a very useful ability."

   Huang Yuanli was stunned: "Supersense medicine, what is that? Wait, you mean, I have telepathy?"

"Yes, but not everyone can wake up after taking a 'hypersensory drug'. This drug can enhance your experience beyond your five senses; in the process, your genes may generate some kind of antibody due to this experience. , the nature of this antibody is the nature of your superpower."

"Of course, most 'supersense drugs' are not safe, and the possibility of sudden death is far greater than that of awakening superpowers; you should thank that 'thing', according to my guess, it helps you share part of the pressure ."

  Huang Yuanli was stunned for a while, then suddenly became furious: "The professor actually wanted to kill me! I knew there were no good people with glasses!"

  The senior engineer ignored him, went back the same way, found the original entrance, and after climbing up the straight ladder again, the pupils of the two of them got bigger at the same time.

  I saw that the originally empty cable tribe was covered with a strange white brain pulp. The brain pulp slowly wriggled along the roof, walls, and tree holes. Thick nerve fibers drilled out of the brain pulp and took root and sprout.

   Even if the senior engineer had taken off the 'amplifier', he still felt a strong noise coming from all directions.

"what!"

  Huang Yuanli covered her ears fiercely, her eyes were red, and it was extremely painful.

   "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, learn to control your power, try to accept it, run it, don't resist it, remember, it's a part of you!"

   Huang Yuanli's face gradually calmed down under the guidance of the senior engineer, and a deep luster flashed across her eyelids in the blink of an eye.

   Gao Gong breathed a sigh of relief. Superman civilization is a relatively large branch in carbon-based civilization, but it is very small in Machine Split. If Huang Yuanli can't control her ability, it will become very troublesome.

   Looking at the 'brain' covering his feet, the senior engineer suddenly pulled out the 'red unicorn' and cut off the pink nerve bundles.

   And the other party's information is also brushed on the panel.

  [You deal 1 damage to 'Brain in a Vat']

  [You enter the domain of the 'brain in a vat', and brain functions enter a state of confusion]

   Brain in a vat!

The    senior engineer didn't expect it to be this thing, he thought it was some kind of pre-war bionic machine at most.

  This thing is at least level 40, and it is a half-biological half-information monster, which is extremely difficult to kill.

   Especially its mental attack belongs to 'true damage', ignoring all defenses, as long as it is attacked by aoe, the senior engineer estimates that he can't resist twice.

  The senior engineer looked around and saw that not only the cable tribe, but all the mutant trees that he could see had begun to secrete artificial proteins, and these proteins were the raw materials of 'brain'.

  ‘Damn, Professor Han didn’t intend to put the entire cable tribe into the brain of the tank, EVA has seen it too much. ’

   But obviously, the brain in this tank is still in a developing state, and the previous series of hallucinations were just the result of Huang Yuanli's operations in his dreams.

   "I, I 'see' it," Huang Yuanli gritted her teeth: "The professor is in contact with this thing, he wants to absorb it, but it is resisting, and the professor is also in pain."

  The senior engineer took a deep breath, turned his head and looked around, and saw a large amount of 'brain' was drilling down the sewer.

  This thing reproduces surprisingly fast.

   "Go, stop it, you lead the way!"

  The senior engineer grabbed Huang Yuanli, and Huang Yuanli pointed her finger in the direction of the mountain road.

   "At the temple of the great elder, the professor's laboratory is also in that direction."

  The senior engineer ran along the mountain road, and at the same time, a 'ding' sound came from the system panel.

  【Mission: Bionic Brain】

   Difficulty: Hard

Mission briefing: Professor Han anticipated the coming of the beast tide, but he had no means of restraining the beast tide. In desperation, he chose the most extreme method to release the sealed scientific research product. He was going to absorb it and turn it into a Master of consciousness.

   Mission Objective: Kill Professor Han / Kill the Brain in the Jar / Rescue Professor Han

   Quest Rewards: EXP+4500, Cable Tribe Opinion+500, Clues of Bionic Technology

The    senior engineer's spirit was lifted, and it was really 'bionic technology'. You must know that a professional knowledge chain contains at least 8 to 10 full-level professional knowledge.

   And more importantly, in the future biotransformation, if the senior engineers still want to maintain the human form, they also cannot do without the help of 'bionic technology'.

However, they did not run far before the ground shook. In the eyes of the two of them, the ground cracked, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and the dim yellow radiation atmosphere was also replaced by a clear sky. Flying in the orbit, on the ground, small living animals jumped up and down, and ordinary people were walking, chatting, sitting on benches and basking in the sun.

   "What is this?" Huang Yuanli muttered.

   "This is the city of the old civilization, and it is also the memory in Professor Han's mind. We are pulled into Professor Han's mind."

The    senior engineer shook his head and said, "I guess what Professor Han wants to do is to let you all live here."

   "We big living people, living in his mind?" Huang Yuanli said blankly.

   "Yes," Gao Gong shrugged, "This is much better than the harsh reality, it's a great idea."

  Huang Yuanli swept around the beautiful surroundings, then took a deep breath, the fragrance of flowers and plants penetrated her nose and mouth, which made people feel refreshed.

   She suddenly raised her head and cursed:

   "What a hammer!"

   "I don't want to be part of this old man!"

   "Use your ability to sense, you should have some connection with this brain in a vat."

The    senior engineer narrowed his eyes and said, "If my guess is correct, in Professor Han's plan, you are the second option."

   "If he fails, you are the next container."

   "That old lunatic!"

  Huang Yuanli gritted her teeth and stretched out a hand to sense the feeling of being asleep. That hazy, but transparent and clean feeling was born again.

  The senior engineer looked around and saw countless flesh and blood emerging from the high-rise buildings, covering them, and then sinking.

   Everyone was 'fixed', and the next moment, everyone melted like a burning candle.

  Huang Yuanli closed her eyes tightly and walked in one direction. The senior worker held the handle of the knife and followed closely behind.

   However, while walking, Huang Yuanli disappeared, and the senior engineer came to a simulated battlefield for training.

   "Sorry, I'm not a professional, there is only one VR room for relaxation in the experimental base, and I don't know if the simulation looks like it."

   There was a young man in a white coat beside the senior engineer. The young man smiled very embarrassed.

   "It's very similar, exactly the same as the training base of the security regiment."

   Stepping on the plastic track with his toes, the senior engineer turned his head and looked at the younger version of ‘Professor Han’.

   "You deliberately separated me from Huang Yuanli. I'm afraid your state is not very good, professor."

  Professor Han nodded, "The base has been closed for nearly 50 years. I thought that thing had 'crash', and it shouldn't be difficult to integrate, but I didn't expect it to be alive and have such a strong appetite."

  The senior engineer said with great interest: "So, you and it are now in a state of mutual devotion."

  Professor Han said: "Yes, I made some arrangements, but this advantage of the first mover is constantly being consumed."

   "Fortunately, Lily's awakening was successful. Now the only chance is for me to perish with it, and then let Lily become a new 'brain carrier'."

  The senior engineer looked up at the closed ceiling, "Do you think she will agree?"

  …

   Above the sky, Huang Yuanli stepped on the clouds and said excitedly: "Look, we are in the sky."

   Huang Yuanli turned her head, only to find that the senior engineer disappeared at some point, and was replaced by an old man who was dying.

   Her expression suddenly became complicated.

   "Lily," Professor Han showed a smile and lowered his head: "Look, the city under our feet is so beautiful."

   "No matter how beautiful it is, it's fake," Huang Yuanli said coldly: "I don't want to be someone else's brain, and I don't want others to be my brain."

   "That's right, I don't want to either," Professor Han nodded in agreement.

   "Then what should we do now?"

  Professor Han bowed his head, and the two returned to the scavenger city at once.

  In the city in front of the two of them, a war of tens of thousands of mechanical beasts is starting in the city.

   Countless red lanterns floated in the air, and the blood-red flesh blanket spread wildly, submerging buildings, elevated, high-speed passages, and drilling into all kinds of mechanical biochemical beasts.

   In front, the sound of explosions, radiant energy, and high-temperature smoke are like a small nuclear bomb that keeps exploding, exuding terrifying power.

   Under its power, mature metal nests were destroyed and razed to the ground.

  Huang Yuanli stared at this scene dumbfounded.

   She knows this monster!
