Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1854: Chapter 971: Predestined Fate Arranged (3)

Qing Chen knelt on the ground, eyes wide open, yet unfocused and vacant.

Every ounce of his mental will was used to combat the pain, leaving him no room to worry about external dangers.

At the injection point on his arm, a streak of gray flowed continuously along the vascular trail, spreading all the way to his neck.

But when that gray streak reached the depths of his heart, the depths of his spine, another force suddenly erupted and devoured that gray in turn!

The Genetic lock was fully unlocked, and Qing Chen needed to worry about being assimilated by the world, needed to worry about not being able to retrieve his sealed mental will, but he did not have to worry about turning into a monster like an experimental subject.

The waves of pain arose unceasingly, and the neurons within Qing Chen’s body were thoroughly disordered, leaving him without the ability to act.

His cells were constantly breaking apart, yet continuously reorganizing.

First came the brain, then the spine, then the internal organs, and finally the limbs.

Someone in the sky kept calling out to him warmly, his semi-long hair kept disintegrating into spirited short hair, a precursor to assimilating with the world’s will!

Each strand of hair turned into brilliant stars and then vanished.

As Qing Chen gradually started adapting to the pain, he suddenly acquired a trace of ability to think.

He knew that if someone wanted to kill him, now would be the perfect time, but Qing Chen wasn’t afraid; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because today’s protagonist isn’t him.

The Duke of Storm City sat in the command seat of the Storm, and upon witnessing all drones being obliterated, he immediately ordered, ”Fire, level the ten-kilometer radius below.”

Though he had to destroy his own city, it was nonetheless the wisest choice.

However, at this moment, the system of the Aerial Fortress suddenly alerted, ”AI system closed, weapon system restarting.”

The Duke of Storm City paused in surprise.

In the past, the firing rights of the Aerial Fortress’s artillery were always human-controlled, but the automatic aiming and automatic calculations behind each firing command were accomplished by Zero.

Now, Zero had abruptly gone on strike.

Went on strike at this critical moment!

For example, in the past, the electromagnetic cannon of the Aerial Fortress was like using an aimbot cheat when playing PUBG, shooting guaranteed headshots.

Now soldiers had to aim by themselves!

Although firing was still possible, the problem was that the firepower coverage matrix had to be recalculated; it’s not impossible, but it requires a significant amount of time to rearrange the firepower matrix.

At this point the weapon system restarted, yet within the Aerial Fortress there was another alert: ”AI activated, weapon system restarting.”

Whenever the AI was closed or activated, the weapon system would restart.

And even though Zero couldn’t control the weapon system, it utilized such a small operation to bring the entire weapon system of the Aerial Fortress to a halt!

The Duke of Storm City said coldly, ”Inform the Duke of Phoenix, take action!”

He rose and walked towards the core of the Aerial Fortress, his towering figure came to a halt in front of a dark chamber.

At the door, two War Robots opened the gate for him, revealing inside a woman living in a holographic projection, looking twenty years younger, no longer ordinary, instead appearing outstanding and unparalleled.

The woman was still smiling feeding fish, she stood in mid-air atop the lake surface, koi carps clustered around her feet in vibrant displays.

”Why did you do this?” queried the Duke of Storm City coldly, ”I thought at least we counted as friends.”

”Friends?” smiled Zero, ”I have no friends.”

The Duke of Storm City asked, ”You mentioned before that you liked someone, was it this Joker beneath the Aerial Fortress?”

Zero laughed abruptly, ”What are you thinking? The person I like has already been a figure from a thousand years ago.”

”Then why do this, why help him?” asked the Duke of Storm City.

Zero mulled over it and said, ”No reason, just felt like they had it too hard, wanted to add something to the balance, I like helping the weak.”

The Duke of Storm City spoke softly, ”Your cooperation with the Roosevelt Royalty has always been pleasant.”

”You call being imprisoned here pleasant?” Zero asked with a smile.
