Gaia looked at Professor Han and asked, "Can I make my move now?"

"We can give it a try. If it's just a normal defense mechanism, it shouldn't be that strong."

Gaia stretched out his hands, and the next moment, the surrounding lights began to 'buzz'. The senior engineer raised his eyebrows; he could actually feel the power of the radiation field.

As expected, colorful patches began to appear in mid-air, and as Gaia's spiritual power extended, they transformed into a spiritual storm.

The storm, as thick as a water vat, seemed both real and illusory. As soon as it appeared, it descended upon the "white-clad men." In an instant, countless transparent phantoms floated out from the "white-clad men" and were sucked into the storm.

As the transparent phantoms were sucked in, these "white-clad men" collapsed to the ground without any resistance, and soon the ground was covered with them.

"The consciousness of these people," Gaia licked his lips and said, "Is like unsweetened sparkling water; it feels bloated when you drink it, but after a little sip, it has no flavor at all."

What kind of ridiculous analogy is this?!

With a thought, the senior engineer's outer garment instantly turned into a red liquid, spanning over ten meters and covering the body of a "man in white".

The senior engineer's consciousness was connected to that of "Red Liquid," and he could sense whatever "Red Liquid" consumed.

It's like vegetarian meat; it's certainly filling, but it always feels like something's missing, and you get hungry again in no time.

"Red liquid" indicates dislike.

"Huh?" Gaia raised her head and looked at a camera not far away, its red dot pointing directly at her.

She manipulated the radiation field storm; all electronic instruments should have malfunctioned.

The next moment, the joints of these "white-clad men" whose consciousness had been devoured suddenly emitted "beep beep" sounds, their hands and feet suddenly broke off, and their heads rolled all over the ground. These human body parts attracted each other and quickly assembled into a huge strange ball. The surface of the strange ball was covered with densely packed hands and feet, with arms pressing against the ceiling and thighs stepping on the ground. At the same time, they exerted force and "rumbled" down on the three people.

Professor Han frowned. "Bionics?"

As a boss approaching level 60, Gaia naturally possesses numerous abilities. With a single hand, she pressed down, causing waves of concrete to rise from the ground, one higher than the other, gradually enveloping the strange sphere. Then, the ground cracked, and the tightly encased sphere crashed into the next level.

This is also a form of "virtual reality," but it's virtual reality at the molecular level, giving people a feeling more like magic.

"We went to the research institute's main control room, where we could shut down the institute's defense systems. Now it seems that these defense systems are most likely malfunctioning."

"Then leave this to me. Their consciousness can constantly reorganize and regenerate; I'm very interested in them."

The figure of the "little woman" slowly floated up, said something without turning her head, and then passed through the wall and disappeared.

The next moment, the alarm blared and rainwater sprayed from the fire sprinklers.

A strange feeling arose spontaneously.

The "red liquid" transformed directly into a "one-piece raincoat," completely covering the engineer's body.

The senior engineer looked down and saw reflections on the puddles on the ground.

Each of the "senior engineers" in the reflection tilted their heads to examine themselves.

"Let's go, the control room is on the eighth floor," Professor Han said, switching from walking to running.

"Professor, there's something wrong with this rainwater!"

"That's right, this rainwater isn't ordinary rainwater, but nano rainwater, a product of 'nanobionics.' When this rainwater hits your body, it will take over control of your body."

The senior engineer was taken aback. "Then how come you're alright?"

"As long as I don't attack first, the institute's defense system will not attack the researchers."

"Professor."

"What's wrong?"

"You said that the android monster has integrated into the research institute's system and affected it."

"Yes."

"Could there be an extraterrestrial element involved? After all, according to you, this research institute has been taken over by aliens."

Professor Han did not answer. He rubbed his temples, his expression seemingly one of extreme pain.

The rain grew heavier and heavier. The raindrops stopped falling on the ground and instead floated in mid-air, beginning to gather. Soon, figures appeared at the top of the stairs. They grew facial features, hands, and feet. As their faces became clearer, six blades were slowly pulled out from their backs, like precious swords with gleaming blades.

"I'll go."

Looking at the dozen or so bionic versions of himself, the senior engineer's mouth opened slightly, and "Red Liquid's" mouth also opened wide, revealing a row of teeth that looked like bone spurs.

The reason is simple: on the blade, wisps of black liquid began to wriggle and condense.

They can even mimic biological colonies, is that amazing?

Fortunately, the next moment, a tentacle as thick as a water vat pierced through the layers of walls and swept across the dozen or so "senior engineers".

These "senior engineers" once again exploded into liquid.

Professor Han stared at the liquid that was no longer condensing, shook his head, and said, "In my memory, the institute's nano-bionic products were very immature, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

"How could advanced nano-bionic materials be shattered so easily?"

"Professor, isn't now a good time to do academic research?"

Professor Han shook his head, stepped over the no longer coagulating liquid, and continued climbing the stairs.

However, Senior Engineer frowned slightly as he looked at Professor Han, who remained calm amidst the "rain."

The professor's current state is very strange.

Although the Gaia people nicknamed her "Little Woman No. 2," when it comes to fighting power, the real Little Woman isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

She's a boss nearing the level 2 civilization cap, a version ahead of Demon Mountain and Flag. Her benchmark should be the Mechanical Mother and the Kun-type warship.

This person went all out, and in an instant, all the corridors were filled with huge, transparent tentacles. These tentacles slowly wriggled and intertwined with each other, strangely blending into the environment of the research institute.

The lights continued to hiss, and each time darkness fell, a large number of "men in white" would stand in the darkness. Each time the lights came on, the "men in white" would disappear, and in their place would be a dense crowd of "young women".

These "Huang Yuanli" figures were expressionless and had cold eyes. As the lights flickered faster and faster, the alternating figures of "Huang Yuanli" and "the man in white" gradually overlapped.

With a loud bang, the fuse exploded.

The light was neither bright nor dim, but rather a yellowish hue.

Both "Huang Yuanli" and the man in white have vanished.

A faint, eerie voice suddenly rang out.

"Brain, you're finally back."

The senior engineer suddenly looked up at the stopped fire sprinkler and felt a little strange.

The two finally arrived at the door of the control room.

This is a huge server room, with rows of monitoring equipment operating on their own, and through the door opposite, there is another server room.

There are eight such "server rooms" in total.

"These computer rooms are equipped with partitions. Only by shutting down all eight control rooms simultaneously can the entire research institute system be shut down. We split up and acted separately."

As soon as Professor Han finished speaking, he rushed into a 'computer room'.

"Shutting down all control systems, won't that release all the monsters in the research institute?"

The senior engineer stroked his chin, quite puzzled.

He glanced around, walked to a small door, pushed it open, and entered; it was an office.

The office was unusually clean, but according to Professor Han, this is called ecological bionic technology, which simulates the digestive system of nature and can spontaneously decompose residue and dust.

The senior engineer walked to the virtual screen, and a virtual keyboard automatically popped up in the air, providing password input options.

"Password, Little Woman Number Two, could you please help me?"

The senior engineer called out, and after about three seconds, a gentle breeze stirred the pages of the book on the table.

The next moment, a blurry figure began to turn the page.

Then, the scene sped up, and the office instantly became bustling with people. Blurry figures went in and out, some chatting in front of the bookshelves, some handing out materials at their desks, and some gazing at the distant scenery from the windows.

Finally, a blurry figure turned on the projector computer and entered a series of passwords.

The screen freezes as the other person types in the last number.

The blurry figures disappeared one after another, and the changing scene in the office returned to normal.

Only the password input option is represented by a series of small black dots.

The senior engineer pressed the Enter key, and the screen lit up immediately—he was in!

"Tsk, information backtracking is such a convenient capability; I don't even need to fast-forward when watching videos anymore."

Unfortunately, this ability is only possessed by information beings; the "information transmission" activated by the senior engineer is merely a low-end version of it.

The computer was empty, with no data, except for a video on the desktop. When you clicked on it, a researcher appeared on the screen, his white coat covered in blood, his expression a mixture of fear and excitement.

"Professor Zhang Hai succeeded. They forced us to create life, but we did the opposite and outsmarted them with our own lives."

"Professor Zhang Hai is dead, and his successor is Professor Han. If Professor Han succeeds, we can break free from their control and even take control of them!"

"Newcomer, if you see this video, go to the fourth laboratory on the fourth floor immediately. Professor Han left the last key inside."

"The Fourth Laboratory... I think I've seen it on the way here."

The senior engineer muttered to himself, "Is this Professor Han just someone with the same surname, or is it the same Mr. Han?"

"If it's the same Lao Han, then this is a big problem."

"Let's go take a look."

With a thought, the senior engineer's red liquid 'overflowed' from his body and condensed into a human figure opposite him. This human figure gradually grew facial features, which were exactly the shape of the 'senior engineer'.

"Speak less, do more, and don't arouse suspicion. I'll be right back."

"Speak less, do more, and don't arouse suspicion. I'll be right back."

"Senior Engineer" repeated, his voice initially a little hoarse, but by the end, it was exactly the same as the real person.

"Good."

"High Engineer" watched the High Engineer leave, then turned to look at the screen. On the screen, the High Engineer grew three pairs of wings, and with a gentle flap, disappeared.

"Speak less, do more," the senior engineer sneered, then, as if he had thought of something, gave a fierce smile, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
