Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

The bells of the church, which was located in the center of all the buildings in the safe haven, began to ring.

The same roar rang out from the bell tower on the hilltop campus of Kassel College and from the Cathedral of St. Mary in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.

"Don't worry, son. This is all to ensure that the resection operation is not disturbed." Lu Lincheng held Lu Mingfei's hand to comfort the man who was staring at the white ceiling in a daze.

The operation was scheduled for a week after they entered the safe haven. The committee finally finalized the plan. The holders of the Word Spirit Hypnos were ready, and the hallucinogenic drugs were in place one by one. Fully armed men guarded the operating room on all sides, and anyone who tried to break in would be executed on the spot.

Lu Mingfei was lying on a medical bed that looked extremely comfortable, with carbon fiber restraints binding his entire body, and titanium alloy chains reinforcing the imprisonment. In Dr. Duden's words, they were not sure whether it was Lu Mingfei or Lu Mingze who woke up. Of course, they also knew that the straitjacket had no effect on dragon king-level creatures, but it could at least make the doctors involved in the operation feel more at ease.

Various instruments surrounded him from all directions. The image display screen of each instrument had zigzag lines with different directions. Some were Lu Mingfei's heart rate and some were his brain waves. Thin electrodes were inserted all over his body and infusion tubes were inserted into his veins.

Those infusion tubes probably contained some kind of relaxing drug. At this moment, Lu Mingfei actually felt very comfortable and warm.

"I'm not worried." Lu Mingfei smiled, still looking at the ceiling, "Where's mom? I thought she would come to accompany me."

Lu Lincheng hesitated for a moment: "She said she would prepare the meal and wait for your triumphant return."

"I won't lose if I'm with my family," Lu Mingfei said.

He didn't want to look at Lu Lincheng's face, because as soon as he looked into the middle-aged man's deep and tired eyes, he would feel cold all over and feel like he was looking into a skeleton.

Bu Ning had already told Lu Mingfei what he had told Chu Zihang. In his eyes, everything seemed even more bizarre, like the fisherman from Wuling who had entered the Peach Blossom Spring.

At first it was very narrow, but only passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open. The land was flat and spacious, with neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboos, and other things. The roads were connected, and the chickens and dogs could be heard. The men and women who came and went were dressed like outsiders. The old and the young were all happy and contented...

Just like this place and just like this time.

"Are you ready, my dear child?" Dr. Duden said in a gentle voice. He stood behind an instrument with a smile on his face.

Lu Mingfei said: "It's time to start."

"Then please look at this dial. We will hypnotize you now." A woman came to Lu Mingfei with her waist twisted gracefully. She opened an old-fashioned pocket watch hanging on a silver chain in front of the man. The silver-blue pointer on the carved enamel dial ticked away.

A low and gentle dragon script was recited by the woman, and then other hypnotists began to recite their own words. Five or six different voices merged together to recite the same language. The spiritual field began to fill the entire space quickly like blowing bubbles, but the field was only effective for the man in the middle of this space.

Lu Mingfei stared at the dial. The White King's genes took effect in his body. Even though Hypnos's domain was superimposed to a level close to that of the Saha world, it could not change his mind.

The carved patterns on the dial began to move, and Lu Mingfei seemed to see thousands of precision gears meshing and working together in a huge instrument.

The man slowly closed his eyes. His breathing became steady. The curves on each instrument that had been fluctuating also became steady. After a moment, the only sounds in the huge operating room were the faint sound of Hypnos being chanted and the low hum of various instruments.

When Lu Mingfei fell into a deep sleep, the sound of the words being chanted also fell silent, and the world was silent as if it had died.

"What can we do, dear Dr. Duden?"

"We can't do anything. Only God knows what will happen." Dr. Duden answered Lu Lincheng's question. He looked out the window. His eyes were gray, as if covered by a thin layer of film.
"He's ready, what about us?"

"All the garrison forces in the shelter have been mobilized to the nearby area. The Damocles, codenamed Divine Punishment, in the geosynchronous orbit 36000 kilometers away from here has been unlocked and is always ready for launch. The nuclear missile silos in Siberia have received self-inspection orders, and soon those weapons that are enough to burn everything to ashes will enter the launch countdown. Unless there is a termination order, a nuclear counterattack will inevitably be launched from countries around the world within hours, and the nuclear cloud will cover the surface of this planet for up to three years." Lu Lincheng said softly. They had already left the closely monitored operating room and stared at Lu Mingfei, who looked as peaceful as a baby in his sleep, through a thick layer of resin glass.

Unknowingly, the boy who was depicted in detail in the photos, video materials, and letter papers has grown into a man. When he exerts force, the muscles all over his body are locked like steel cables. Lu Lincheng has seen that kind of power, which is much stronger than when they were still true S-level.

"Is this price... worth it?" asked Dr. Duden.

"Of course eternal life is worth it." Lu Lincheng said. He turned his head and looked out the window. Looking from this direction, he realized that Dr. Duden was not looking at the monotonous snow and ice that he had long been tired of, but at a bronze statue standing in the snow and ice that was more than ten meters tall.

It is a bronze statue of Lenin standing on a black marble base, with his finger pointing forward, implying that the great man is still guiding the direction of the revolution.

The top and shoulders of the bronze statue were covered with snow; only the red five-star on the chest was still shining.

The statue was neither in front of the shelter nor in the middle of it, but stood facing the sea. So neither Lu Mingfei nor Chu Zihang, who had been wandering around the shelter these days, could find it. However, considering the shelter's rough Soviet-era architecture and technology style, and its toughness with steel as the main body, it was not surprising to see such a thing.

"It has always been the relay between geniuses that has driven the progress of civilization, and the common people who make up the human group are just the fire that facilitates the birth of geniuses. Since entering the electrical age, we have almost stopped moving forward. Even some achievements are just whitewashing existing technologies. The road of civilization seems to have come to an end." Lu Lincheng said coldly.

"In modern history, there are many stars, such as Einstein and Tesla. Who can inherit their mantle and continue the profound and secret journey after their death? Even if someone is as talented as the stars that have passed away, how can the new stars be willing to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors? If they can immerse themselves in their own research for hundreds of years, can they fill in the missing piece of the scientific puzzle? The fire of civilization is burning in the darkness. The fire is raised only to illuminate the way forward for geniuses, but what if geniuses gain eternal life? Our civilization is no longer a relay but a long-distance race, or even a mountain bike race. There will be more and more geniuses who can promote human development, and fools will only be grateful to us."

"Do you believe in religion, Chairman Lu?" Dr. Duden asked softly. "I didn't believe in it at first." Lu Lincheng sighed, "But you and I standing here, isn't it the best evidence of the existence of gods? I just hope that we are in heaven instead of hell."

"God will not forgive our evil deeds," said Dr. Duden.

"Evolution is originally a painful process. When the ancient apes left the protection of tall trees and moved to the plains, they were devoured by countless natural enemies. When the apes evolved into Homo sapiens, they also experienced countless hardships and sufferings, such as Neanderthals, saber-toothed tigers, diseases, and natural disasters. We paid a painful price to become the humans we are today. After becoming humans, we encountered dragons outside the food chain. The ancients sacrificed young girls and finally obtained blood that could drive the elements from the dragons, allowing them to evolve into hybrids like us. The history of evolution is simply a bloody history of killing. What do you think we are doing?"

Lu Lincheng held a cigarette in his mouth. Strangely, the cigarette was not lit but was still turning into ashes from the cigarette butt.

It is not being burned, but it is being consumed.

"This is a revolution. You Europeans call evolution evolution and revolution revolution, because revolution is originally a spontaneous re-evolution of mankind, forcing civilization to move forward, forward, and forward with a bloody knife!"

He spoke such passionate words with such a cold expression, and every word was like a bayonet piercing people's hearts, making the people around him tremble with excitement.

"Will the child fight with the Supreme in the dream we created for him as that adult hoped?" Another old man who looked as authoritative as Duden lowered his voice as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping boy. Even though the glass material in front of them could completely absorb the sound, he always felt that Lu Mingfei seemed to be able to see through everything around him.

He hesitated for a second and looked into Lu Lincheng's eyes, "They are brothers..."

"I know my son. Although he is a gentle child, when he goes crazy, the whole world will tremble."

"Do you really think he is your son, even after what he has experienced..."

"We have debated this topic many times, my dear mentor Freud. Even if we continue to argue, we will not be able to convince each other in such a short time." Lu Lincheng interrupted the old man who had just asked the question with a rude gesture. Golden flames danced in his eyes, like will-o'-the-wisp fire in the wilderness.

Ten minutes after the bell disappeared, a shrill alarm swept across the entire safe haven, and the dark clouds covering the shelter were suddenly lifted, as if God reached out from the clouds and wiped away the dark clouds that brought down the storm.

The hazy light in the sky became a little more dazzling, the sky turned a chaotic grayish white, the leaden clouds were annihilated, and the pouring flames washed away the meteorological conditions used to camouflage in the Nibelung.

The dense footsteps came closer and closer, and the hunting team, fully armed and dressed in combat uniforms, anxiously walked through the corridor outside the operating room and came to the committee members.

"Attack, we are under attack! A formation of armed helicopters suddenly appeared over the safe haven, and they dropped air-blast bombs on us!"

"Don't panic, we are not even in the same space. Not to mention air-burst bombs, even atomic bombs can't hurt us!" Lu Lincheng said coldly.

After the clouds were destroyed, they could finally see what was beyond the transparent air wall above the safe haven. It was flocks of black birds, their steel hearts roaring like lions and tigers, and even the strong wind could not suppress the roar of those engines.

That was just the first round of attacks, and the second round will be here soon.

The moment a dozen bombs touched the edge of the Nibelung, time seemed to be filled with gelatin. Everyone saw that the air area where the warheads collided was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was piercing the gelatinous skin of a prehistoric giant whale.

Then, golden-red veins emerged in the void. It was the alchemical matrix covering the entire Nibelung, which was defending itself. The blood vessel-like lines radiated from the impact point in all directions, breaking down the impact force into countless streams of fire.

But the attackers had obviously prepared enough equivalent. The subsequent bombs exploded one after another before the matrix had time to transfer energy. Lu Lincheng suddenly felt a series of miniature suns blooming on his retina. The surface of the barrier began to show the rainbow color when the oil film ruptured. The alchemical circuits attached to the border of the Nibelung fell like molten glass, solidifying into crystal beads in the blizzard before they hit the ground.

"Disable our matrix defense system, which is used to deal with dragons. No matter whether it is air-blast bombs, heavy machine guns or smoothbore cannons, the things outside cannot rely on these ordinary metal weapons to penetrate the interface between Nibelungen and the real world." Lu Lincheng pressed the headset, and the voice immediately spread in the communication channel, "The cutting operation continues, and the safe haven is ready for transfer. Close the interface immediately after the cutting is completed!"

At this time, all the armed helicopters dispersed, and a black fighter plane that looked like an alien product and full of technology roared from the south to the sky above the safe haven. From a distance, it looked like a bat.

From both an optical and thermal point of view, the safe haven should not appear in any of the attackers' monitoring equipment, but they knew exactly where this Nibelungen was located.

For this purpose, they even dispatched the B2 bombers deployed by the Americans at the Guam base!
After the thing flew past, there was only a moment of silence.

Then, a fireball with a diameter of more than tens of meters was blown up in the air wall on the surface of the Nibelung. The flame compressed to the extreme took on a strange cobalt blue color, and the extremely high temperature instantly vaporized the surrounding ice and snow.

The surface of the barrier seemed to be torn into spider-web-like cracks, but what gushed out of those cracks was not light and heat, but thick lightning that spread like tree branches.

The high heat and shock wave of the nuclear bomb explosion failed to reach the interior of Nibelungen, but the strong light still caused huge light pollution, and everyone suffered varying degrees of vision impairment.

"Activate the defense system and activate the royal matrix!" Lu Lincheng roared.

The next second, the helicopters that had left the nuclear explosion range and were hovering in the sky suddenly exploded like mosquitoes slapped by a big hand. The heavy steel skeletons and human bodies were like tin foil thrown into a drum washing machine. In one second, the gravity applied to them was dozens of times that of the gravity, which was torn into blood mist and metal snowflakes. (End of this chapter)
