Su Yi was thoroughly satisfied with Cole's reaction and attitude.
One of his goals on this trip was to bring these people, driven to despair by the Steel Virus, into his fold.
In many situations, these steel soldiers were even more effective in combat than Players.
And these undying steel soldiers would serve as his vanguard against Players of a chaotic alignment in the future.
Their conversation drew the attention of the other survivors in the room.
The next to speak was Lisa, who was hanging from a hook.
"Who's talking? Is this hell?" Lisa murmured weakly.
Cole snapped out of it and rushed forward to lift her off the hook.
"Lisa, don't be afraid. It's me, Cole!"
"It's all right. You're not dead, and neither am I! We're about to be saved!"
Hearing that she was still alive, Lisa's frail voice filled with terror.
"Cole, please kill me. I can't bear that pain again!"
"Those damned demons... I don't want them to torture me anymore!"
Cole hurriedly cradled her mutilated body. "Lisa, don't be afraid. It's over!"
"Remember Arthas? This man has the technology to heal our bodies!"
"We don't have to become puppets of those mechanical monsters! We can even take revenge on them under his leadership!"
Lisa's broken sobs gradually subsided. "Really, Cole?"
"Can we actually beat those damned monsters?"
"I can feel my mind fading! I'm going to turn into a mindless shell like the others..."
Su Yi spoke. "Not while I'm here. None of you will."
He then placed a Silicon-Based Symbiote the size of his fingertip into Lisa's body.
As it steadily devoured the Steel Virus, Lisa experienced the same miraculous changes Cole had.
Su Yi found the eye that had been gouged out of Lisa, her knocked-out teeth, and her other missing parts
