Colonia Storm Tour

This answer was exactly what Lin Haiyuan expected.

"Huh? You really are seriously injured."

Alice was stunned.

"My prediction came true, unfortunately. How is her injury? And what caused her to be so seriously injured?"

Lin Haiyuan continued to press for answers.

"The injury level is serious. The cause of the injury includes multiple factors, such as the fist and foot attacks of the Berserkers, the dissolving ray attacks of the Stinger unmanned vehicles and Invader UFOs, the thermal ray attacks of the Marauder tanks, the shell attacks of the main battle tanks, the plasma bombardment attacks of the Venom Lizard airships, and the radiation attacks of the Radiation Engineers and Eradicators."

The AI ​​at the Shark Vanguard Base reported the types of damage Moni had received.

"It's a miracle that he survived so many potentially fatal attacks!"

This was the first time that Hua Zhizi had ever seen a superhuman who had withstood so many attacks, each one potentially fatal to the human body, without being reduced to a puddle of slime.

"His resilience is terrifying, but after such a blow, even if he doesn't die, he'll probably be crippled for a long time."

Alice even thought that Moni might end up like the Hanged Man from Academy City.

"I remember that she was very fond of bio-mechanical technology, but she did not keep genetic facilities in her Mad Shark Vanguard Base."

Seeing the Mad Shark Vanguard Base and hearing the words "nanotherapy pod" from earlier, Lin Haiyuan and Alice could tell that Mad Shark Vanguard didn't receive the same preferential treatment as the Last Fortress and the Colonia Flank, with Epsilon technology and genetic and mental facilities all around them.

"If there are no genetic preservation facilities, and only bio-mechanical robot technology, what would happen if someone's legs, hands, or a part of their body were dissolved?"

A gardenia asked a question.

"According to her preferences, she would gladly replace her lost hand with a mechanical hand, her lost leg with a mechanical leg, her lost organs with nanomechanical organs, her skin and muscles with nanofibers, and her blood vessels with energy conduits. In the end, her entire body would be composed of nanomechanical components."

Lin Haiyuan's answer is enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Will it eventually become a Terminator T-800?

Suddenly, I felt a cool sensation in the gardenia.

"Yes, if she wants, she can freely change her form later on, like cell division, splitting into countless versions of herself. Each one can act independently and transform into any object within the allowed range. The real her is everywhere because every one of them is her. The most terrifying thing is that in her eyes, humans will be either inefficient, useless garbage waiting to be recycled or worth assimilated. You can think of the T-5000 in Genesis. It can transform humans into T-3000s. What molecular robots can do, nanodrones may not be unable to do."

The more Lin Haiyuan spoke, the more terrifying it became.

"Alas…………"

When Hua Zhizi imagined someone multiplying like a cell dividing, she hugged herself in fear, and the other magician crew members all looked grim.

"Lin, you crazy woman, what you said makes me feel disgusted. This is the first time I've felt that she is so unacceptable and unreasonable."

Alice also felt uncomfortable and hugged herself with her arms.

"This is insane. This approach will put them in direct opposition to humanity, and once a conflict breaks out, there will be no possibility of reconciliation."

Artemisia commented—Lin Haiyuan used Artemisia's words to express his opinion on her ideas.

Doing this will ultimately destroy humanity, and then what will happen when humanity is destroyed and people face each other...? You can refer to the BETA in the MUV that swallows cute girls, which is somewhat interesting.

"Don't worry, I'm watching. She can't really do it, and she might not even want to. Relax a little, hahahahaha."

Lin Haiyuan laughed heartily.

"Hmm... it's hard to relax after hearing what you said, Chief Lin Haiyuan."

A gardenia gave a wry, indescribable smile.

"Once you meet her and get to know her better, you'll realize she's just a bit eccentric, but she'll still talk normally when she's in a good mood. Now, let's get back to the main topic."

Lin Haiyuan turned his head slightly to look at the holographic projection bearing the banner of the Mad Shark Vanguard.

"Shark Vanguard AI, Alice and I would like to send two people from FraxinusEX down to check on Commander Moni's situation. Please allow us to proceed and lead the way."

He told the AI ​​of the Shark Vanguard Base his request.

"No, Commanders. According to current security regulations, if you wish to visit Commander Moni, who is seriously injured, you can only send the highest-ranking commander or someone else to visit him. The number of people you can send is limited to one."

The AI ​​at the Shark Vanguard Base refused the two individuals' request to check the situation.

"Alright, then how about we assign the captain of 'FraxinusEX,' the commander of the Valkyrie battalion, Artemisia Bel Ashcroft, to visit Commander Moni privately?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"Given that the two supreme commanders are not on the moon, Artemisia Bel Ashcroft is confirmed as the highest-ranking officer of the Colonia flank on the moon and is authorized to visit Commander Moni in his place."

When the AI ​​of the Shark Vanguard Base received the authentication data stream, the data content included a portion of Artemisia. Therefore, the AI ​​of the Shark Vanguard Base judged Artemisia as Lin Haiyuan. This bug will be fixed in the future.

"Yes, Battalion Commander Artemisia, go and prepare."

Lin Haiyuan nodded.

"Yes!"

Artemisia quickly got up and left, saying, "I'm entrusting the command of the warship to you again, Commissar Zhizi."

"Leave it to me."

You Huazhi smiled and suddenly found it interesting to watch Lin Haiyuan talk to himself like this.

"Ah."

Lin Haiyuan walked quickly toward the teleportation device.

The network core icon is only 60x48 pixels; there's no clearer version available. I recommend viewing it on a computer rather than in the app. The same applies to the other icons.

There will be a second update tonight.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dazed Shark (Z)

Using the teleportation device of "FraxinusEX", Lin Haiyuan was directly teleported to the inside of the Burning Wind Construction Site to see Moni, who was currently lying dead in the nano-healing chamber.

After walking the familiar path and passing through the familiar electronic doors, Lin Haiyuan arrived at the medical room.

After a person entered the medical room, the electronic door behind her closed automatically.

He turned his head to look around and found that there was nothing special about the medical room, so he turned his gaze forward.

Inside a completely transparent, nano-reinforced fiberglass container, a human girl floats in a nutrient solution, her body enveloped in a faint mist composed of nano-drones.

Within the mist created by the nanodrones, one could see the even paler gray hair floating in the water like the tentacles of a jellyfish. The girl's face held an unfriendly expression that seemed to say, "What are you looking at?", suggesting that the girl might have a bad temper or personality. As for the color of her eyes, it was impossible to determine it by sight alone, as her eyes were closed.

On its own, the fact that she is a beautiful woman makes her quite pleasing to the eye, but the missing arms and legs make the otherwise acceptable scene look eerie.

"How is Moni? Lin the Madman."

Alice inquired—since people on FraxinusEX cannot access her communications with Lin Haiyuan, they can safely call her by her nickname.

"It seems she really courted death. Without the nanodrones to keep her alive, she would probably be dead by now. She's practically been shredded into a human stick. She looks like a real seal now."

Lin Haiyuan gave a very apt evaluation.

"I thought she was just my King's Power!!! Gone, I never imagined she'd be chopped into a human stick, it's so chilling... Speaking of which, why do you have to use such terrifying metaphors less often? Just thinking about those pictures I impulsively searched for gives me nightmares, okay?"

Alice had absolutely no desire to recall the content of those German and Eastern European atrocities she had inadvertently stumbled upon while searching for them.

"That's true. Nobody wants to see those kinds of pictures and content a second time. I reckon it's still happening in Eastern Europe and Germany... But we don't have the time to meddle in those things right now."

Lin Haiyuan put his hands behind his back and looked at Moni, who was relaxing in the nanotherapy chamber.

"Phew... What are you planning to do to her now?"

Alice asked.

"Leaving her on the moon to wait for the nanodrones to heal her would take too long. We'll use FraxinusEX to take her back to the underground base in Antarctica for treatment, and then she'll enter the Phoenix Nest to become a phoenix."

Lin Haiyuan had already planned to take Moni away from the moon, because the lunar environment also has unstable factors, namely "meteorites". If the base were hit by a meteorite while she was receiving treatment, that would be a huge problem.

"Actually, judging from what you just said, she should be quite willing to accept becoming a cyborg. She probably has no interest in genetic modification or enhancement, or rather, neither of them suits her taste."

Alice felt that doing it that way would only make the other person unhappy.

Why do you think I would consider whether she would be happy to accept this when I do it?

Lin Haiyuan countered with a question.

"Aha?"

Alice never expected Lin Haiyuan to ask her such a question.

"Whether she accepts this willingly or not is not up to her. If she were to die by accident one day, it would be an immeasurable loss. Therefore, turning her into an egg-like human is necessary. As for psychological issues, she has innate resilience and psychology, so what is there to fear? You must know that for a long time to come, the job of commander will be done by the two of us. Now that we have another companion to help share the combat command tasks, it will be much easier, needless to say."

Lin Haiyuan didn't want his rare and useful transmigrator companion to die so easily.

"Ah, that's true. If it were just the two of us and we encountered some trouble, we would really be overwhelmed. It would be best if Moni could help us, and then I could focus on protecting the home."

Alice felt a surge of joy at the thought.

"Looks like you want to stay home in Antarctica and be a homebody. But that's not important. After you've moved Moni, you'll be in charge of taking back the Shark Vanguard Base on the moon."

Lin Haiyuan did not intend to leave the Mad Shark Vanguard Base on the far side of the moon, because its concealment was far inferior to that of the Epsilon Base.

"Hey, why don't you come and stay at the Antarctic base with me? We can leave the conquering to Moni, how about that?"

Alice joked.

One of her eyebrows twitched: "Enough. If you want to satisfy your ulterior motives of sleeping with your head buried in someone's chest, go find Ou Ting. Now, let's get down to business and answer the question."

"I always feel embarrassed to approach Odin, but I feel completely at ease approaching Lin the Madman... Well, okay, let's get to the point. Ahem, if we're going to relocate the base, we have to move it to the vicinity of the Mind Illusion Device. This means that the base's structure must be adjusted and it has to be rebuilt. It sounds like a lot of trouble, but luckily I have Odin and WalkerNet AI, so I don't have to worry about it."

Alice's approach indicates that she does not intend to leave a base on the far side of the moon.

“A complete relocation won’t work. What if we need to develop resources on the far side of the moon and have to move the base vehicle there again? That won’t do. Here’s a compromise: move the Scorpion Organization’s Epsilon MCV to the current location of the Mad Shark Vanguard Base and start construction.”

Lin Haiyuan had no intention of doing something that would be tantamount to completely abandoning the far side of the moon.

"Alright, let's do it that way. Oh, by the way, I have some good news to tell you, Lin Dafengzi. We've discovered the psychic and genetic facilities we possess at both the Psychic Legion and Headquarters Guard bases. The ones we have at the Colonia Flanking Air Base and the Antarctic Underground Base, we also have at both of these lunar bases. And we even have equipment specifically for manufacturing and cultivating Libra... That being said, it actually feels pretty useless."

Alice couldn't think of any other use for Libra besides creating Libra's original body and Libra clones.

"No no no."

Lin Haiyuan repeatedly denied Alice's claim that none of her devices had been released.

"Could it be that you, Lin the Madman, are trying to create a real scale? Don't scare me, my little heart can't take it."

Alice does not welcome the appearance of a true Libra. Its excessively powerful mental strength combined with its evil and cruel nature would cause who knows what kind of trouble it would create, and it would be seriously contrary to the spirit of the Fiery Wind.

"Who said we were going to create another Libra crazy woman? This time we're going to create an even better heroine than Libra."

Lin Haiyuan wasn't truly insane; he didn't want a real Libra to appear in the world.
