Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 451: Biochemical Crisis in the Nano Storm

"Nano-clusters—devour!"

They coldly transmitted the command.

But just as they controlled the nano-clusters to swarm through that opening and enter the interior of Lynn's flesh and blood organism, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Suddenly.

The nano-clusters inside the organism, which had been continuously expanding and devouring, abruptly stopped.

In that moment.

A strange silence spread.

They weren't devouring chaotically like rogue nano-machines, nor were they moving in coordinated steps like controlled ones. Instead, they hung suspended by the tens of thousands.

It was like a group of little girls stepping into a densely populated city, where millions of people within the city all stared straight at you with eerie eyes.

As if they wanted to eat you.And in that instant, the mechanical consciousnesses controlling the nano-machines that had broken through also sharply sensed the abnormality.

"Not good!"

A mechanical consciousness was greatly shaken.

And at that very moment, the densely packed, countless nano-machines suddenly abandoned their devouring and decomposition of the surrounding flesh. Like ferocious beasts, they bared their menacing fangs towards them.

Whoosh—

Almost instantly, those nano-clusters surged into the clusters they controlled, forcibly decomposing and devouring them.

Like a band of rebels launching a surprise attack against them!

"Warning! Mechanical Nano-Cluster First Formation destroyed! Current losses: 14,214 units."

"Warning! Mechanical Nano-Cluster Second Formation destroyed! Current losses: 53,450 units."

Alerts of clusters being destroyed continuously sounded within their consciousness group.

The entire Special Response Team's mechanical consciousnesses were thrown into turmoil, utterly unable to comprehend this sudden, abrupt change.

"Why are those nano-clusters attacking our clusters?!"

"There's a problem—no! Wait! The second rule in the underlying logic programmed into the nano-machines when the Master created them is that they cannot target units of the same type for decomposition—so how could they possibly attack our clusters?!"

"Can we gain control over that cluster?!"

"Impossible! The interference from the energy burst has already massively affected information exchange in that area—most clusters have already lost control—to regain control—we must wait for the interference to completely dissipate!"

"Hurry! Immediately control the clusters! Prioritize eliminating those nano-machines attacking their own kind! Hurry!!"

All the mechanical consciousnesses realized the severity of the problem. Roaring, they switched targets and launched a counterattack against those "traitors."

They didn't know what was happening!

They didn't know why those nano-machines, locked by their underlying logic, would suddenly display such immense aggression towards them!

And to find the source of the problem, they could only capture those nano-machines for analysis and parsing!

But under the interference of the energy burst, even this had become extremely difficult!

And it was at this moment that they suddenly heard the voice of that young man emanating from that writhing mass of flesh.

"You've already noticed, haven't you? But I'm afraid it's too late."

Those mechanical consciousnesses were greatly shaken.

Lynn's voice slowly transmitted from within the flesh.

"Did you really think I was just stalling for time for the energy burst to proceed? No, no, dear Mechanical Units, I was dealing with you. I was spreading chaos for you."

"And indeed, as the rumors say, the Nano-Storm is very difficult to deal with. Without a Root-level entity taking the field, achieving victory against you on the open battlefield is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"But this doesn't mean the Nano-Storm is invincible."

A huge, smiling expression slowly surfaced on that massive, mangled mass of flesh.

"Because the destruction of most races often stems from internal collapse."

"Other creatures might not be able to do it, but unfortunately for you, I can. So, during this time you were decomposing my flesh, I wasn't idle either. Coincidentally, I helped you diagnose a very dangerous virus."

The mechanical consciousnesses trembled.

Virus...

Could it be...

Lynn smiled gently and elegantly. "Ah, although you are not creatures from my world, I highly recommend you watch a movie. Its name is 'Resident Evil.' Do you know about zombies? They are quite adorable creatures."

"And under normal circumstances, creatures infected and turned into zombies become highly aggressive! In some literary works, they are even described as monsters with an infinite hunger for their own kind."

"So, it's already quite obvious."

Under the smile that surfaced from the massive flesh, a tentacle slowly grew out and adjusted something in the void.

"What would you do if the nano-clusters experienced a Resident Evil outbreak?"

That eerie, fleshly smiling image appeared on the screens throughout the entire mechanical consciousness group.

Densely packed, countless screens all displayed that terrifying, dread-inspiring smile.

"We have captured dozens of units of the out-of-control nano-machines—immediately send a request to the Intelligence Core—immediately begin cracking those nano-machines!!"

"Hurry! Hurry!"

The Special Response Team, composed of thousands of mechanical consciousnesses, was now extremely anxious. Under their monitoring, the diseased nano-machines had already begun attacking the other out-of-control machines around them on a large scale!

And they immediately trembled as they realized a terrifyingly dreadful consequence.

Right now, the nano-clusters they still controlled could launch counterattacks against those diseased machines.

But what if they lost control of these nano-clusters as well?

Because the underlying logic of the nano-machines had long stipulated.

Unless ordered, nano-machines are forbidden from attacking each other.

This was also one of the most important directives set to prevent nano-machines from killing each other if they lost control.

Buzz—

At this moment.

All the mechanical consciousnesses trembled as they realized this problem.

In other words, under the restriction of this underlying logic, once their control over the nano-clusters was blocked, these hundreds of billions, even trillions of out-of-control nano-clusters would completely become fodder for those diseased entities...

Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

What lay before them would be a grand mechanical feast!

"It seems you've already figured it out."

Lynn smiled mysteriously, transmitting through the boundless information exchange.

"This was a gamble. If I ultimately hadn't gambled and produced this virus, then I really would have had to run away. But fortunately, Lady Luck favored me, and that led to this little trap I've set for you."

"Dear mechanical consciousnesses, every step was useful. In this information-shielded area created by my Miss Puppet, it will soon become a slaughterhouse for nano-machines."

"Gentlemen, you've been fighting the Flesh and Blood Cult for so long. Haven't you truly realized it?"

"Pure chaos isn't frightening, because without order, the first to perish would be themselves."

Zuo Zuo (꒪Д꒪) listened to Lynn's "speech" to those nano-machines.

Although her intelligence didn't fully grasp the logical connections.

She just felt...

Stupid Brain suddenly seemed... cool...

And inside the Aberration Fortress, the Commander and all the deputy officers also listened to those words in shock, momentarily feeling parched and unable to utter a single word.

And in the next moment, the final, violent energy burst rumbled and swept out in all directions.

The image of Lynn's smiling face on their screens also flickered violently before extinguishing, screen by screen.

The information interference there had reached its limit!

They were about to completely lose control over the nano-clusters in that area!

"He's stalling for time! Ignore those diseased entities! Concentrate all nano-clusters! Prioritize eradicating him!!"

The gathered mechanical consciousnesses furiously issued the command.

All the nano-clusters still under their control immediately converged into a long stream, madly swarming towards the mass of flesh Lynn had expanded.

"It's useless, everyone."

Lynn smiled exceptionally gently.

"What you broke through earlier was just the first batch of nano-machines I cultivated. How do you know I only raised this one batch?"

The mechanical consciousnesses were greatly shaken.

And in the next moment, Lynn's expanded flesh suddenly split open from various directions, revealing numerous tiny openings one after another.

Densely packed, countless nano-machines infected with the [Intelligence Uprising] virus surged out like a swarm of bees.

"I used my body to provide materials for their expansion. I consumed dozens of bottles of Flesh Proliferation Potion to maintain my meat volume. I created a cozy haven for them inside my body. And thanks to the nano-machines' unparalleled expansion speed, within minutes, I had a large batch of demons capable of destroying you."

"Although I can't control them, how could my body compare to the deliciousness that is all of you?"

"So..."

————————

Lynn's smile grew increasingly mysterious.

Just as he was about to continue, Zuo Zuo suddenly whispered a reminder.

"Brain, you only have 6% of your flesh and blood left. You're about to die."

Lynn maintained the smile on his face, squeezing a few words out from between his teeth.

"Don't speak. Can't you see your Master is in the middle of showing off? Such a rare opportunity, why are you interrupting?!"

"But Brain, you really are about to die!"

"Doesn't matter. Finish showing off first."

"..."
