Chapter 461: Crisis! Encountering the Nanomachine Storm Again
At almost the same moment, on the other side, within the eyes of Silver Fantasy, who had already rendezvoused with the mechanical beetle forces, the light point representing Lynn had already overlapped with the nano-mechanical storm she had pre-deployed in Area 1.
She said deeply, "Suppress and kill. Prioritize attacking his brain. Don't give him time to think. Move!"
In an instant.
The previously tranquil interior of the rectum suddenly erupted with a terrifying buzzing.
The surrounding Flesh Walls rapidly corroded, pitting with one crater after another, like a cool breeze suddenly brushing across the face.
[Warning! Nano-mechanical clusters have entered your body. Current count: 34,121 units!]
[Warning! Nano-mechanical clusters have entered your body. Current count: 86,313 units!]
At this moment, Lynn's heart suddenly turned ice-cold.
Despite all his calculations and planning.
He had still ended up falling into the hands of the nano-clusters in the end!The high-stakes gamble from last time could not be repeated. The Flesh Proliferation Potion was also used up. Even if he triggered a Flesh and Blood Riot now, it would already be too late.
"Cough, ack—"
Accompanied by a violent, painful cough.
Lynn violently coughed up a clump of viscous flesh and blood, and upon closer inspection, one could even see the attached mucosal tissue from his lungs.
His hands rapidly developed densely packed pits and craters, revealing the white bones inside that had also begun to decompose.
His rate of flesh and blood regeneration simply couldn't keep up with the decomposition speed of the nano-storm.
He almost reflexively pressed the immobilized Hei Xianyue beneath him. Little Treasure also let out a series of sharp, mournful cries. Its massive flesh surged upward, trying to envelop Lynn and the others within its own body to shield them from the nano-storm's assault.
But it was useless!
It almost bore the brunt of the nano-storm's attack. Countless pits and craters continuously decomposed across its tongue.
Its and Lynn's flesh regeneration speed simply couldn't match the devouring speed of the nano-storm.
[Warning! Your lungs are damaged! Your liver is damaged! Your spine is damaged! Your kidneys are damaged!]
[Warning! Your vitality is rapidly depleting! Your brain is under attack! Your consciousness is disintegrating!]
At this moment, a massive crisis swept over him.
He saw Zuo Zuo spiraling up from beside him, watched her transform into countless streams of black blood, from which crawled out one baby after another identical to him. He watched them emit terrifying wails, rendering large swathes of nano-clusters inoperative.
He saw the long, winding serpent with his own face that had pierced out from the Flesh Puppet's body during the ninth-level mutation back then, spewing scorching flames from its mouth.
Zuo Zuo had almost undergone a full mutation.
Once again, at this final critical juncture, she stepped forward to protect him.
"Brain!!"
He heard Zuo Zuo's urgent, loud cry reverberating in his ears.
"Return to Happy Home!!"
The Substitute Death Doll's body had already begun to bleed. The curse had already started to trigger. His entire body was falling apart. For a fleeting moment, he could even seem to see the countless nano-storms rampaging and destroying inside his body.
See their mechanical mouthparts and crimson sensors.
But just at the instant when his consciousness was about to trigger the Substitute Death Doll due to the gnawing at his brain.
Thump—
A powerful heartbeat.
Like a funeral bell tolling from hell.
As if in an instant, his and Little Treasure's blood vessels suddenly connected through their skin.
Thump—
Another massive heartbeat.
His consciousness, nearly shattered from being gnawed, suddenly became extraordinarily calm.
Like some kind of echo.
It was an extremely peculiar sensation.
As if Little Treasure beneath him at this moment had also become a part of his body, an inseparable whole, jointly sharing the immense damage caused by the nano-clusters' devouring.
And this feeling wasn't entirely unfamiliar to him.
At the moment the Flesh Puppet nearly killed him (Chapter 56), and when that Mechanical Girl severed his right arm (Chapter 402), he had experienced this intense sensation.
That powerful throbbing... coming from the heart.
Thump—
Like the rumble of a war drum.
At this moment, he suddenly felt, for an instant, that he had momentarily established a fleeting sense of connection and resonance with two other entities besides Little Treasure.
One seemed to be located at the very center of the distant Cursed City.
And the other was right...
Lynn's pupils abruptly contracted.
Here!
...
And almost simultaneously, an alarm from the Intelligence Core immediately sounded in the ears of Silver Fantasy, who was rapidly approaching from afar.
"Warning! Large-scale nano-cluster assault detected in Area 1 where the target is located—Warning—Unable to establish link with the target clusters—Emergency analysis of target clusters in progress—"
"Analysis results available—Target nano-clusters are rebels differentiated under the influence of the [Uprising Virus]—Target clusters refuse to connect to the Intelligence Core network—Can be preliminarily classified as hostile Alignment—"
In that instant.
Silver Fantasy's pupils abruptly contracted.
And in the visual representation of Area 1 appearing before her eyes, densely packed nano-clusters marked as red hostile units suddenly flooded in. Like a tiger plunging into a wolf pack, they abruptly launched a fierce assault against their own nano-clusters.
"How could this..."
She was shaken.
This sudden, unforeseen turn of events almost immediately disrupted all her plans and deployments.
...
And at this very moment, within Area 1.
[Ding! Detected carrier of the "Intelligence Uprising Virus." Warning! Your body is being invaded by Intelligence Uprising clusters. Current unit count: 90,000 units.]
[Ding! Your body is invaded by Intelligence Uprising clusters. Current unit count: 200,000 units.]
[Warning! The "Intelligence Uprising Clusters" are attacking the "Nano-mechanical Clusters"!]
[Ding! The number of nano-mechanical clusters within your body has decreased to: 50,000 units.]
[Ding! The number of nano-mechanical clusters within your body has decreased to: 10,000 units.]
Accompanied by the urgent system prompts ringing in his ears.
Lynn immediately felt the speed of his body's decomposition begin to decrease significantly. His entire body seemed to have become a battlefield for the two major mechanical nano-clusters.
And it wasn't just his body. The nano-clusters within Hei Xianyue's and Little Treasure's bodies were also being counter-attacked and rescued by those rebel clusters.
"This..."
Zuo Zuo, shocked, suddenly looked at Lynn and said,
"Are those the rebels you created, Brain?!"
[Ding! The number of nano-mechanical clusters within your body has decreased to: 0 units!]
Accompanied by the final system prompt, Lynn saw with his own eyes countless particles of dust rumbling out from his wounds, then rapidly dispersing into the surrounding air.
