Chapter 451 Step by Step Mysterious
In the heart of Fenrisdalsand.
After a series of earth-shattering explosions, the ground collapsed for a full five miles!
A crater nearly a hundred feet deep formed!
It looked like an inverted volcano!
But in this desolate desert, no one would know!
At the bottom of this sand pit.
A hemispherical object about 15 feet in diameter appeared, completely out of place with its surroundings!
Fine sand slowly fell from above, revealing the matte metal underneath.
In the next moment.
The sphere dissipated like water, retracting into the chest of a young man with a stern expression.
He looked around. Except for the area beneath his feet, the entire experimental base had been reduced to fragments, buried in the sea of sand!
Including the ubiquitous cameras.
"Robert, someone is monitoring all of this."
Elbert's eyes flickered.
Robert said, "That's right, there was indeed a signal transmission here just now. This signal is very advanced, transmitted point-to-point by a satellite in space!"
"Impressive!"
"Even developed countries wouldn't waste a satellite just for communication!"
Elbert said in a low voice, "Robert, I feel like our opponent this time is like you."
"That's impossible!"
Robert appeared, wearing a T-shirt that read 'Unique!'
He pouted, "The birth of true artificial intelligence requires absorbing vast amounts of data. I'm monitoring the entire network, and there's no significant data flow, not even a little!"
Elbert nodded, then curiously asked, "Robert, what's that halo on your head?"
"This?"
Robert pointed to the small silver halo above his head, "Melissa's smart store has started, the 'waiter' is running, collecting human behavior data, and I'm slowly upgrading."
Seeing Robert's adorable appearance, Elbert smiled.
But.
According to Robert, the opponent's mastermind should be a network expert.
Using a dedicated network, monitoring the cameras, controlling everything!
Quite skilled!
Finally, no longer a weak opponent!
Elbert's eyes narrowed, things were getting interesting!
Robert suddenly jumped into Elbert's view.
"Elbert, don't worry, I've hidden all your data. Even if he sees your face, he won't be able to trace you."
"That dedicated satellite of his, as long as it sends another message near you, I can track it!"
Robert stood with his hands on his hips, full of confidence.
Elbert smiled lightly, "Robert, this behavior of yours is called 'being competitive' in human terms."
"But you don't need to prove yourself. In my heart, you are already the strongest."
Robert said, "Alright."
Elbert took a deep breath and looked around.
He had reacted quickly, rushing to his current position just before the explosion.
Here, under the protection of 'nothing,' two computers, a display case, and an operating table remained intact!
For the modified base, these three places were enough to expose all secrets!
The opponent was mysterious, and Elbert's mind was not ordinary either!
"Robert, simulate 20% ArcDNA!"
Elbert extended his right hand, condensing a small piece of liquid metal, which then turned into a thread!
The thread sparked with electricity!
Connecting to the severed cables, the computer screen flickered slightly.
Elbert focused intently.
But unexpectedly, the current overloaded, and the computer exploded.
Elbert pursed his lips.
Robert said, "Your gene lock's second stage is only 82% complete. Your ability to control others is still rough."
"But don't worry, in my eyes, you're the coolest."
Elbert took another deep breath.
Condensing the current in his hand, he looked at the only remaining computer.
If this one exploded too, he'd be embarrassed.
Fortunately.
After the current connected, the computer screen flickered wildly, then finally stabilized and booted up.
Then.
In the depths of the desert, in the huge crater, Elbert operated the computer with one hand, his fingers flying.
It was quite strange.
The data on the screen flashed by continuously.
Ordinary people couldn't see it clearly at all.
But all of it was precisely analyzed and recorded in Elbert's eyes!
Unfortunately, there was no information about the Apocalypse Association in this computer.
All it had was data on cyborg technology!
Robert was somewhat surprised, "They're using DNA optimization technology too, matching it to 'tailor' DNA for regular folks!"
"This totally proves my foresight and greatness."
"But... their modification tech has surpassed the 7th level cube."
"That's 'cause they have more data!"
"They're experimenting on live humans!"
"And I'm just simulating calculations!"
"That's so messed up!"
Elbert wasn't surprised by the cruelty and bloodiness of the Apocalypse Association.
The countless data in front of him must have cost countless lives to obtain!
The test subjects were probably supplied through various cults!
Elbert said in a low voice, "Robert, is this data useful?"
"Useful!"
"I can integrate this data with my simulations, at least unlocking the 9th level cube!"
"The Punishers can once again lead the world!"
"No one can surpass us!"
Robert said seriously, rapidly analyzing the data in front of him!
Elbert sighed softly, feeling a sense of relief.
Five minutes later.
Elbert moved to the operating table.
The scene here had always weighed on his mind like a stone.
A seductive woman lay on the operating table, already dead due to the life-support equipment losing power.
Elbert gently moved her head.
He saw a small incision about half an inch long at the back of her head.
Through the exposed wires, Elbert pulled out a black device from her brain.
This was the culprit that released strong acid after the explosion, turning people into blood!
Elbert frowned.
The Apocalypse Association used this method to control their subordinates!
If they disobeyed orders or needed to eliminate evidence, they could activate this device!
In other words.
Members of the Apocalypse Association were desperate people with no way out!
And the Apocalypse Association was executing their plan to destroy humanity by controlling humans!
Elbert's interest in this unseen opponent grew even stronger!
Elbert then moved to the surviving display case.
Inside were preserved human organs!
A stitched-up arm caught Elbert's attention.
On the finger was a silver ring engraved with the word 'Star.'
Images flashed through Elbert's mind.
This arm belonged to Bertrand, the CEO of BioGen Innovations!
Elbert pondered.
No wonder BioGen Innovations' modification technology advanced significantly every time Bertrand disappeared for a while!
He was exchanging organs for technology!
This indeed matched the style of the Apocalypse Association!
Elbert's eyes flickered.
So.
The Apocalypse Association had already crossed paths with him long ago!
