Open the Door

Having absorbed enough of Gao Gong's cells, Hong Ye naturally inherited some of Gao Gong's emotions.

For example, the urge to beat up a young woman.

Number Three was punched directly into the wall by Red Liquid, leaving a large humanoid figure on the wall.

This punch seemed to not only flatten the opponent's face, but also cause the opponent's entire body to shrivel up.

Number Three ripped its arm off the wall with a "rip," took a deep breath, and its body swelled up again, like a whale inhaling water. It looked at the other party with suspicion.

"Slaughtering aliens?"

The "slaughtering aliens" it refers to is a relatively well-known biological civilization in the universe. This civilization is famous for producing wanted criminals in the universe. They have extremely strong survival abilities and can regenerate as long as they have a single cell.

These "planet killers" are most famous for using interstellar travel vehicles to fly to various civilized planets, first devouring their parasites, then committing petty theft and murder, followed by mass killings until the entire planet is wiped out.

Millions of planets have been destroyed by them.

In order to guard against this "super pathogen," all interstellar travel vehicles have been equipped with sophisticated biological monitoring devices, which has even provoked protests from several spore-based civilizations.

But there's nothing you can do; these monsters spread in a way that's very similar to your home.

However, when Number Three saw the shuttle-shaped laser still hovering in mid-air, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only similar in appearance, because the most powerful ability of "Slaughtering Aliens" was to absorb all kinds of weapons, including kinetic weapons, electromagnetic weapons, energy weapons, and gravity weapons. Once it was swallowed, it would become a part of it.

Clearly, this monster only has the form of a monster and does not possess the abilities of a true monster.

Number Three sneered, "Ordinary biological transformation is an extremely common ability in the universe."

As it spoke, its green skin turned into a liquid, and sharp hooks, spikes, and daggers grew from the tips of the liquid, making it look even redder than the red liquid.

Red Liquid paused for a moment, then flew into a rage. With a roar, its figure swelled up to the height of Green Skin, its muscles bulging. A half-meter-long red tongue shot out from its mouth, and it pounced on Number Three. Number Three was not to be outdone, and the two monsters quickly engaged in a fierce battle, with countless fluids tearing, entangled, and slicing.

As it turns out, the red liquid is no match for its opponent. Its biological colony can make it ignore most attacks, but its nemesis is at the microscopic level. As a multi-planetary species, the physical body of the 'Michael alien' can withstand most planetary disasters, which also means that its cellular survival ability is comparable to that of 'microorganisms' that can survive under volcanoes.

Compared to the red liquid made from a hodgepodge of radiated beast cells, the opponent was clearly far superior.

During the ensuing struggle, Hongye gradually felt his body stiffen and freeze, and some of the liquid that had just begun to wriggle and take shape froze into powder.

This is the result of cell liberation and gene invasion.

Seeing this, Number Three found an opening and unleashed a barrage of heavy punches on various parts of the opponent's body like a pile driver. At the same time, the energy cannon on his back gathered again, and in a flash of light, it directly blasted the red liquid's head apart. Its body was kicked away and embedded in the wall.

"Idiot, I told you to talk less and do more, not to get into fights with others."

The senior engineer appeared on the fourth floor, while the severely injured Red Liquid let out a howl, emitting a yelp similar to that of a puppy.

If you get beaten up, you should ask your dad to stand up for you.

"Don't look at me. I'm here to reduce rejection, not to increase it."

The senior engineer looked up and saw that, apart from the "bio-network" on the roof, the doors of the various laboratories in the research institute were wide open, and at least twenty kinds of monsters created by "bionic experiments" rushed out. They had long since evolved into bizarre shapes, and all of them were beings that suppressed perception and spirit.

"Bionic monsters are really terrifying," the senior engineer chuckled, looking down at number three.

Number Three stared at the senior engineer, and for some reason, it sensed a powerful threat from him.

Red Liquid grew another head the size of a fist, and, emboldened by its master's power, let out a frantic scream.

Then the shuttle-shaped energy cannon fired upwards, blasting the senior engineer's upper body to pieces.

The red liquid's cries abruptly ceased.

It began to question the meaning of life.

Then, instead of relaxing, Number Three's expression became even more solemn, because it saw that the lower half of the engineer it had blasted apart was turning into fleshy tentacles and merging into the ground.

"The body of the interstellar thief is terrifyingly strong," the senior engineer's voice rang out from the speaker.

At the same time, all the surveillance cameras turned to point at camera number three.

The systems that Professor Han had forcibly shut down earlier are now being turned on one by one, and countless screens are lighting up again.

Number Three finally understood where that sense of threat came from.

That's the feeling I had when its main body invaded the research institute's system.

But now, it has become the target of intrusion.

Hidden on several floors, rows of gun barrels suddenly emerged, their dark holes spewing out terrifying tongues of fire.

A sonic boom rang out, and when it reappeared, Number Three was in front of Red Liquid, his knee slamming into the opponent's abdomen, and with a yank of his hands, he tore it in half at the waist.

During this pause, countless bullets struck its body, splattering blue flesh flowers.

Although as a multi-planetary species, ordinary kinetic weapons don't do much damage to it, even if it's forced to lose a little health, with so many bullets, the amount of health lost is not small.

With a thought, Number Three disassembled the shuttle-shaped energy cannon, transforming it once again into thirteen suspended shuttle-shaped energy guns. With its built-in positioning system, light shone from the shuttle lines on both sides, converging on the tip of the shuttle. With a flash of light, the positioning laser disappeared in an instant, and as the smell of burning filled the air, a hidden gun muzzle was eliminated.

Laser weapons vs. kinetic weapons.

Laser weapons are the clear winner.

Lasers crisscrossed, blasting open gun barrels one by one, but Number Three's expression was even uglier. The reason was simple: it felt that the control left by the main body was being taken away by the other side bit by bit.

Even the biological experimental subjects in the air showed signs of becoming disobedient.

It took considerable effort to lure this mature, generalized consciousness into the trap.

If it really comes down to a fight, it's no match for the other side.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a thick tendon bulged out on Number Three's body. The tendon was as thick as a thumb and ran up along his spine, turning black rapidly as it grew.

A powerful aura emanated from him, and in a daze, a huge mechanical emperor, about ten meters tall, stood up from his throne. Its body was covered with large and complex mechanical parts that rotated continuously as it stood up. Thick biological tubes ran down its neck and into its head, the end of which should have been a clump of brain matter.

Conqueror 3!

The Empire's most powerful mechanical entity.

The Conqueror Emperor pressed down with both hands, and the next moment, a terrifying mechanical pressure swept across the entire research institute, causing all the circuit components to explode and all the projection screens to shut down once again.

Fortunately, before leaving, the main body left itself a vial of "Black Prince's Blood," otherwise it would have almost capsized in the gutter.

The fluctuations were so intense that they even forced the main body of the senior engineer to emerge. On the rooftop, a cyborg-biological entity appeared, with various spikes growing on the surface of its titanium alloy skeleton. Its joints were in the shape of a half-bow of a wild beast, and a glowing circular object was embedded in its chest.

Apart from two eyeballs without eyelids, there was no flesh or blood on his entire body.

"Found you!" Number Three sneered, staring straight into the eyes of the other.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a pacifist," the senior engineer's voice continued from the loudspeaker. "Besides, I'm not trying to take control of the research institute from you. I'm just opening a door."

Door!?

Number Three looked up and his vision suddenly went black. On the transparent glass dome, a mechanical head the size of a small mountain was sticking out, its searchlight-like eyes staring straight at him, like an oversized mental node.

A-level mechanical beast - Mechanical Fortress

Outside the research institute, countless mechanical beasts covered the sky, resembling a beast tide.

He didn't just call over "Little Woman Number Two" on a whim.

Knowing that the research institute was heavily guarded and that something might go wrong, he notified "Little Woman No. 2" in advance to go home while bringing her main force over.

"A superconscious life form that has already entered its mature stage, instead of trying to curry favor with a powerful force, is instead a hostile and suicidal creature."

The next moment, the mechanical fortress opened its huge mouth, and its pillar-like teeth slammed into the top. The tempered glass couldn't withstand such a heavy weight and shattered with a crash.

The beasts swarmed in.

The senior engineer shook his head. The next moment, countless pieces of flesh spilled out from the ground, covering his body again and reforming into a physical form.

Looking at the +300 biological rejection, the senior engineer couldn't help but twitch his lips. Just from combining individuals, the rejection increased by so much; it was simply outrageous.

The path of integration is indeed difficult.

It does work very well.

There's not much to say after that. Number Three's fists were no match for the beasts. Wherever the laser passed, even a C-level radiation beast couldn't withstand three shots. However, when five B-level mechanical beasts surrounded it, it was in despair.

It's worth mentioning that inside, the senior engineer also saw an old acquaintance, the super mechanical gorilla that likes to gnaw on trees.

This guy, at some point, also joined the Brain in a Vat team.

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, also like pig brains?

The red liquid crawled over pitifully. The senior engineer rolled his eyes and said, "If you hadn't stepped in, nothing would have happened. You tried to intervene but couldn't handle it and even got beaten up. You deserved it."

"Where is Professor Han, whom I asked you to keep an eye on?"

Two globs of red liquid slowly wriggled, each spraying out half of its body. When combined, they formed Professor Han's true form.

"Holy crap—"

Fortunately, Red Liquid sent a message at the same time, saying that because the other party was an android and it had blocked the wound, Professor Han was still alive. Only then did the senior engineer suppress the urge to kill his own family for the greater good.

You're really unreliable, I don't know where you learned that from, you're such a timid woman.

After taking down nearly three hundred mechanical beasts and one B-class radioactive beast, Number Three finally let out a miserable scream and was beaten to death by the mob.
