Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

Ling Xi deeply admired this Einstein. She was an outstanding scientist of the Pre-Collapse Civilization. If possible, Ling Xi really wanted to bring her to his Doctor's side. Before the arrival of the Rock Law, he could have taken her and fled, leaving more hope for the future.

After chatting with Einstein for a while longer, they exchanged contact information and finally said goodbye…

"Doctor, are you done talking with Mei?"

Returning to their usual spot, Ling Xi found his Doctor already back and organizing documents.

"Mm, I wanted to invite her to the Flame-Chasers, but she refused, citing her studies. I wonder what will happen to her in Changkong City in the future."

Mobius shrugged, appearing somewhat disappointed. After all, Honkai would appear in Changkong City not long from now, and she certainly didn't want such a genius girl to disappear.

"..."

Ling Xi really wanted to say there was no need to worry, Mei and Kevin both had protagonist auras… but history had already changed. Who knew if Mei and Kevin would really die in the Third Honkai Outbreak?

So, after returning, he would take Mei and Kevin with him when evacuating people. Anyway… according to the timeline, Mei and Kevin would join the Flame-Chasers after the Third Honkai Outbreak.

"It's okay, Doctor, I think…"

Ling Xi smiled slightly, "After a while, when Mei understands the disaster, she should agree."

"Heh, that's true."

Mobius also smiled, then yawned and said, "Alright, let's go back to the hotel. Also… tomorrow, let's explore the city and stay a couple more days before returning. What do you think?"

"Sure, it's rare to get out, so resting for a few days sounds good."

Ling Xi would naturally not refuse. Traveling with the Doctor was an opportunity to increase their favorability, wasn't it?

If possible, he might even be able to secure the Doctor directly, and then have the Doctor perform a spectacular Snake Shedding for him.

Of course, that was only if the Doctor agreed. But given Mobius's personality, if he made a move himself, he probably wouldn't have a chance. After all… Mobius was definitely the dominant one!

So, if Mobius dared to flirt with him again this time, he would definitely take her down, letting her know that bad deeds have consequences. In any case, the Doctor was his wife… well, future wife.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing Ling Xi agree, Mobius seemed a little happy. Being out and about, without Klein bothering her, and the meeting over, this was the perfect time for her to execute her "Inheritance" plan!

Of course, that was only if Ling Xi agreed. But given Ling Xi's personality, making a move himself might scare him, making him think she was scheming again. So… this time, she wouldn't be proactive. She would just give some hints and let Ling Xi make the first move.

At worst, she could just stay a few more days. After all, Klein was at the laboratory.

Meanwhile, in Changkong City…

"The Doctor should be back tomorrow, right…"

In the laboratory, Klein was working overtime, organizing experimental documents and the experimental record forms the Doctor had given her before leaving, telling her which experiments to conduct. In short…

She hoped the Doctor would return soon.

"Ling Xi should be back soon, right…"

In the dormitory, Seele hugged the pillow Ling Xi had touched that day, a hopeful smile on her face…

Chapter 81: The Hidden Ability of [Infinite]!

"Absurd, truly absurd. Knowing the outcome, they still gave her 10% of the resources. What were those people thinking?"

That night, at the same old spot, the three elders had been replaced by five. One of them was clearly furious.

"There's nothing that can be done. Our power is limited, and resource allocation involves too many vested interests. Moreover…"

Another elder shook his head. "The temptation of lifespan is too great for them. And Mobius's success today has touched many nerves, after all, Mobius's strength is undeniable."

"No, our resources are not abundant right now. They must be used where they are needed. Exchanging 10% of resources for an uncertain evolutionary prospect, how foolish is that? I say, I wouldn't refuse even 1%, but using 10% of the resources is too extravagant."

The elder was clearly still angry. While 10% of the resources might not sound like much, it was the entire UN's planned allocation. Although not all of humanity's resources, these resources, converted into currency, would be trillions at least. If these resources were used elsewhere, how many bottlenecks could have been broken?

"Resources are easier to talk about. The key is… if Mobius actually creates so-called evolution, it will be the beginning of a disaster. Because… no one knows if there will be any loopholes in the edited genes. If it pollutes the human gene pool, then humanity itself will be in true danger!"

"Alright, this matter must be decided!"

Finally, the leading elder waved his hand and said, "To prevent the human gene pool from being polluted, and to use limited resources for science and technology, we must take action. Let's vote now on whether to execute… the Purge Plan!"

As soon as he said this, the remaining four people, three of them raised their hands. Clearly, they were all staunch supporters of science and technology.

The remaining one was not supporting Mobius either, but simply felt that things hadn't reached that point yet. After all, Mobius was a top scholar rarely seen in a millennium. Although her technological path was a bit skewed, it didn't diminish her excellence. And such a scholar…

These people, for the sake of so-called resource utilization, were actually thinking of eliminating her. He truly found it unacceptable.

Of course, this was also due to Mobius herself. If Mobius had continued to be a researcher in the laboratory as before, with resource allocation managed by headquarters, then she would absolutely have no danger to her life. After all, Mobius at that time could still be controlled. Without resources or money, Mobius couldn't make much of a splash. But…

Things were different now. Mobius now had the authority to mobilize at least trillions in resources. They could no longer restrain Mobius with funding. Who knew what terrifying things Mobius would create? Moreover…

According to intelligence, one of the two Honkai incidents at the Changkong City Research Institute was confirmed to be Mobius, and Mobius had admitted it. As for the other one… according to investigations, it was highly likely Mobius as well. Therefore…

For such a dangerous individual who could not be controlled, and was full of danger and uncertainty, purging was the safest option!

After all, humanity's technological development was progressing wonderfully. There was no need to risk encountering such dangerous things!

"Go and prepare. Mobilize Poisoned Pupae A-class members, Scorpion, and Shadow. Also, bring two B-class squads. Prepare to execute the Purge Plan. Remember… do it discreetly!"

After the vote results came out, the elder at the head of the group immediately issued an order. The reason they only used A-rank instead of S-rank was because S-rank was too easy to expose. Their special abilities made them easily traceable.

Mobilizing S-rank would require them to grant more authority, and the consequence of doing so would be their own exposure. And once exposed, the problem would be even bigger.

After all, the elimination plan wasn't the Flame-Chasers' intention, but their own. Therefore, it could only be carried out in secret, and absolutely no information could be leaked!

"Haha, so dumb."

In the arcade, Mobius had KO'd Ling Xi and looked smug.

"Doctor, you're not playing fair!"

Ling Xi looked speechless. Just as they started, Mobius suddenly told him to close his eyes and give her a surprise. The result...

Ten seconds later, he was already the second character on the field. He wasn't very good at fighting games to begin with, and he was almost evenly matched with Mobius. In the end, the Doctor used the advantage of having an extra character to KO him!

"Hmph, that's why I say you're dumb?"

Mobius huffed triumphantly, "You're so naive. Haven't you heard the saying that the prettier a girl is, the more she lies? Haha."

"Never mind, let's go. To the next place."

After defeating Ling Xi, Mobius lost interest in playing further and directly dragged Ling Xi to the next location.

It was already eight in the evening, and the two were playing around the streets. After all, this was the capital of the Mu Continent, and its prosperity was far beyond that of Changkong City.

"Here are your shaved ice, two of you!"

Outside a cold drink shop, a server brought out two cups of shaved ice and placed them in front of Ling Xi and Mobius. "Please enjoy."

"Thanks."

Ling Xi casually said thank you, then picked up a cup and handed it to Mobius, who was playing on her phone. "Doctor, your shaved ice is here."

"Mhm, got it..."

Mobius nodded, took it casually, then picked up a spoon and prepared to scoop some to put in her mouth...

[Warning, contract target is in danger!]

Just then, Ling Xi's [Infinite] Stigmata deliberately issued a warning, and the target of the warning was the contract target, which was... Mobius?

"Could it be..."

"Slap!"

Ling Xi directly reached out and knocked away the spoon Mobius was bringing to her mouth.

"Huh?"

Immediately, the spoon in Mobius's hand was knocked to the ground, and the shaved ice she was about to eat was scattered everywhere.

"Ling Xi?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with annoyance, as she had been interrupted just as she was about to eat, and her food had been thrown on the ground.

"Hoo..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath. As expected, after knocking away the spoon in Mobius's hand, the warning from [Infinite] disappeared. So, it was clearly the shaved ice that was the problem.

"Sorry, Doctor. Although I don't know how to explain it, it's best if we don't eat this."

However, Ling Xi couldn't say too much about the Infinite Stigmata to Mobius right now. After all, they were on the street, not in a laboratory, and some things couldn't be said.

"Hm?"

At this moment, Mobius seemed to have realized something. After all, from her understanding of Ling Xi, he wouldn't just spill her food for no reason unless he genuinely wanted to anger her, but... what benefit would that bring him?

So...

Mobius cautiously observed the remaining shaved ice. It was colorless and odorless. In this situation...

"Heh, it seems... I've been targeted again."

After thinking for less than five seconds, Mobius had already figured out the reason and muttered to herself, "The meeting just ended less than half a day ago, and they're already so eager to get rid of me?"

As she spoke, she looked towards the cold drink shop, or rather, towards the server who had just made the shaved ice for the two of them, and said with a smile, "Poisoned Pupae A-rank assassin, also known as the assassin most skilled with poison, Scorpion, won't you come out and meet me?"

The next version will be implemented! .jpg

Chapter 82: I Will Always Protect Doctor!

"Poisoned Pupae!"

The moment he heard the name, Ling Xi decisively blocked in front of Mobius, while also warily looking at the cold drink shop. That was close. Fortunately, he had the Infinite Stigmata, and fortunately, he had contracted the Doctor. Otherwise... Mobius would have been in danger just now.

"I didn't expect to fail."

Upon hearing Mobius's words, the server named "Scorpion" didn't try to hide anything and walked out directly, smiling. "I must say, Doctor Mobius, your assistant is truly formidable. He actually managed to detect my poison."

Ling Xi: "..." I detected your sister. If it weren't for the warning from the Infinite Stigmata, the Doctor would probably be dead.

At this moment, Ling Xi also felt a killing intent towards Scorpion. How dare he have designs on my wife? And... this time it wasn't capture, but poisoning. This is too much!

Scorpion himself was wrapped up tightly, with only the upper part of his face exposed. One could vaguely see his incredibly pale skin, and his eyes were dull and lifeless, looking... like a dead man.

"Ling Xi, don't have any contact with him!"

At this moment, Mobius clearly saw the current situation and hurriedly reminded Ling Xi, "He possesses a special physique and is filled with toxins. His blood, sweat, and even saliva all contain potent venom. Direct contact with his skin will also lead to poisoning, and..."

"This is a poison similar to Honkai disease, and there is currently no cure."

"Hmm?"

A poison similar to Honkai disease... isn't that just Honkai Energy radiation?

In other words, this guy is someone who has been severely eroded by Honkai Energy but is still alive. However... his body has probably turned into a MANTIS, as evidenced by his pale skin and mutated eyes.

"Doctor Mobius, please excuse me!"

Scorpion directly chose to attack, spewing out a cloud of black mist.

"Edison, electromagnetic shield!"

Ling Xi immediately used the Edison Middle Stigmata he obtained last time. Its ability is to consume Honkai Energy to summon an electromagnetic shield that blocks all energy-based attacks!

"Sirin, can you analyze the opponent's Honkai Energy intensity?"

While deploying the electromagnetic shield, Ling Xi also began to ask Sirin for help.

Sirin immediately provided the answer, "Based on the radiation analysis, the opponent's Honkai Energy intensity level is between 400-600 HW. The Aslaug Top Stigmata can resist 1000 HW of radiation, which is safe for you!"

"Hmph, so you're saying I can ignore his radiation?"

Upon hearing this answer, Ling Xi was immediately relieved. The opponent's poison attack is at most 600. Although 600 HW of Honkai radiation is enough to turn an ordinary person into ash within seconds, facing my poison resistance of at least 1200, you can't even break through my defenses!

"Doctor, stand still!"

"Dawnbreaker."

After shielding Mobius with the electromagnetic shield, Ling Xi directly summoned Dawnbreaker, ignoring the opponent's Honkai Energy erosion, and slashed at Scorpion!
