Special Bioelectric Waves

Li Ming finally managed to subdue Raiden after a lot of effort. He hadn't expected Raiden to be so sensitive about that topic; wasn't it said that things were quite open-minded in America, with over fifty gender identities?

However, Raiden's issue seemed to be long-standing, which was why he was so persistent. The three of them then went to a nearby park, mainly to avoid the crowd from the convenience store.

"So, you want to start a club called 'Extraterrestrial Civilization Research'?" Raiden pondered for a moment. "Indeed, a club like that hasn't appeared at the California Institute of Technology yet."

"Mhm, so..." Li Ming looked at Raiden expectantly. Even though they weren't from the same school, having an extra person shouldn't be a problem, right?

Raiden ignored Li Ming, whose eyes were shining, and turned to Himeko. "It's hard to say if anyone would be interested in this. I believe Miss Himeko must have asked around before finding us to be your club members!"

"Yes," Himeko said, her expression becoming more serious upon seeing Raiden's look.

"Exactly. So, whether you recruit people at school or not is actually irrelevant. It's just your hobby, why not develop it into a forum instead?"

Raiden's critique of Himeko's current club situation was spot-on. Li Ming didn't understand much about it, but seeing Himeko nod subtly, clearly persuaded, he knew that recruiting club members with Himeko at school could be put aside for now.

Himeko rested her chin on her hand. "But creating and applying for a forum requires computer operation. I'm still a freshman and don't have a computer to use. Plus, I'm not very good at creating or managing a forum."

As she spoke, Himeko's gaze unconsciously flickered towards Li Ming. Li Ming immediately waved his hands. "Don't look at me, I don't have one. I'm poor."

Glancing at someone who claimed to be poor, Raiden felt a surge of anger, but it was true that Li Ming didn't have a computer. Raiden knew this; if he hadn't planned to stay in the apartment for a long time, he probably wouldn't have bought that computer. "In that case, Miss Himeko, you don't need to rush. You can gather people with similar interests, and it would be better to create the club after reaching five members."

After Raiden's analysis, Himeko's inexplicably high enthusiasm dissipated. She walked dejectedly towards the apartment. "Alright then, I'll contact you later."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Li Ming and Raiden breathed a sigh of relief. Raiden glanced at Li Ming, raising his dark eyebrows. "What are you going to do now?"

"Is something wrong?" Li Ming looked at him, confused. Didn't they just have a life-or-death struggle? Why was he asking this now?

Seeing Li Ming's clueless expression, Raiden knew that Li Ming had completely forgotten about his promise to take him sightseeing around California these days.

Although yesterday's itinerary was interrupted by a sudden research paper assignment from his advisor, it seemed Li Ming had a pretty good time with Miss Himeko yesterday.

Wait, speaking of Miss Himeko.

Raiden suddenly felt he had made a wrong decision. "Uh, if you have something, then forget it, I'll go back first..."

Before Raiden could finish speaking, Li Ming called out to Himeko, who hadn't gone far, "Himeko, wanna go out?"

Then Li Ming excitedly pulled Himeko over, leaving Raiden far behind. Raiden covered his face, I really want to escape, but I can't!

He had no choice but to curse inwardly, Li Ming, you deserve to die!

"Achoo! Who's cursing me?"

Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Comprehensive Training Room.

Welt looked at the two Type I Clones in front of him. Guns and cannons materialized out of thin air around him, but Welt Yang didn't act immediately.

"Einstein, how much time has passed?"

"Commander, an hour has passed, similar to yesterday. It's time to act. The experiment on the cause of the Type I Clone's loss of control begins."

Einstein watched the situation in the training room through the one-way glass. As the two Type I Clones continuously interacted with the outside, the energy concentration gradually increased. After half an hour, Einstein activated the two clones.

The red light flickered in the blue pupils of the two clones. As they advanced, the steel floor beneath them began to deform.

Welt Yang looked at the two blue-haired, blue-eyed clones, whose appearance resembled someone he remembered, his heart unmoved. "MIG Laser Cannon, fire!"

Following Welt's command, ten cannon ports aimed at the two clones. The cold muzzles absorbed the surrounding energy, and blue lasers shot out, accompanied by faint electrical currents.

The lasers engulfed the two clones.

As the lasers were fired, the two clones reacted in time, pulling out their cores from their chests. Their voices were stiff, "Pseudo Black Hole, 100% power release!"

Two fifteen-meter-wide black holes appeared in the training room, pulling in everything else within it.

Even the trajectories of the lasers were subtly distorted.

However, Welt Yang easily found and shattered the two cores.

The pseudo black holes dissipated before they could take effect.

"Commander, even with energy superposition, it only reached 150 HW. It didn't reach the 250 HW released by the two clones yesterday, especially the 500 HW broken through by the one in California."

"Hmm, I can feel it. Why is that?"

Welt examined the twisted clone bodies in front of him, which had been distorted by the pseudo black holes. After a check, he found no change in the energy levels remaining inside.

But yesterday, especially the energy fluctuation he sensed last night, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it impossible.

A clone, with a chip as its core, a clone that didn't even possess human anatomy, was able to wield immense Honkai Energy and control it with ease.

"Why is this?" Welt used his abilities to dismantle the bodies layer by layer, but he couldn't find any part that had mutated due to Honkai Energy.

Unable to find any answers, Welt gave up on studying the two experimental subjects further. He walked out and looked at Einstein standing at the door. "Were the two mutated Type I Clones from yesterday transported here?"

"After processing, they have been sent to Lab No. 3 at headquarters, but they are severely damaged. Also, the one from California is missing most of its body, and its core. We cannot confirm who took it and are currently investigating."

Hearing "California," Welt paused. "Speaking of which, is that student named Li Ming alright? He seemed quite badly injured yesterday."

Einstein handed a report to Welt Yang. "After yesterday, Li Ming went to a private hospital near the California Institute of Technology for a check-up. This is his medical report."

Welt took the report and glanced at it. "No traces on his body except for external injuries? Strange. I remember he was in close proximity to the clone yesterday. At that distance, it should have been a fatal dose."

"Perhaps the hospital's equipment couldn't detect if Li Ming's body was eroded by Honkai Energy. After all, it's just an X-ray. Detecting the changes in the human body after Honkai Energy erosion requires more precise instruments," Einstein wasn't too surprised, as this kind of situation where it wasn't detected immediately wasn't uncommon.

"Should we arrange for Li Ming to undergo another examination? According to the data obtained from Schicksal, Li Ming was eroded when he first came into contact with the clone, indicating he doesn't have the corresponding antibodies." Einstein took out another report and handed it to Welt.

After a glance, Welt made up his mind. "Alright then, please help arrange it. By the way, have yesterday's matters all been settled?"

The two walked all the way to the command center and saw Tesla, wearing a command hat with her twin tails tied back into a low ponytail, standing there directing the overall situation.

A tall robot appeared on the screen, colored in black and red. The helmet on its head looked like a "V". If Li Ming and Himeko saw it, they would recognize it as the protagonist's Unit 01 from "Heavy Mech Alahato" at a glance. However, this Unit 01 was now a reality under Anti-Entropy.

"The position of the core and pressurization device here cannot have any problems. The armor position is off... Hmm, Ritsell, Alliance Leader, have you confirmed the clone issue?"

Seeing the two approaching, Tesla shifted her attention from the screen. Upon hearing Tesla's words, Welt's expression turned bitter, while Einstein's remained as usual. "We haven't, but after testing, the [Type I Clone] can only reach 150 HW after operating for nearly half an hour. It cannot break through 250 HW. Those two clones are special."

"Speaking of which, I went to Lab No. 3 earlier to retrieve the body tissues of those two special clones. I detected strange residual bioelectricity and some special living tissues. At first, I thought it was a mutation caused by Honkai Energy erosion, but when I used a new [Type I Clone]'s chip to analyze the residual bioelectricity, here, look!"

Tesla opened another screen, displaying a segment of special bioelectric information. She clicked play.

"37°22'10"N...122°02'26"W...Absorb...Obstruct...Annihilate...Devour...Alien...Food..."

"This is quite interesting?"

"The content of the bioelectricity contains information, it might just be a coincidence," Einstein viewed it calmly.

Tesla knew she didn't believe her, so she opened a second piece of information. "This is a segment of radio waves intercepted from space by the Alliance Leader when intercepting missiles earlier. Listen to this!"

"Evade... Plunder... Destroy,,, &…%…"

The beginning was understandable, but the latter part gradually became blurred. Welt and Einstein looked at Tesla.

Then, Tesla was heard laughing, though her expression was somewhat solemn. "This signal was intercepted from space. We are currently detecting what it is. It's possible there are really aliens!"

Although Tesla's tone was somewhat flippant, neither Welt Yang nor Einstein could smile. Unknown extraterrestrial civilization, special electronic signals, and out-of-control clones – these matters did not seem simple.
