You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 329: Hoba wakes up!

Chi Ping followed the fluorescent light down, passed through the broken walls, and walked into a half-collapsed tunnel.

At this point, the fluorescent light disappeared, and the tunnel was pitch dark. Chi Ping touched the tunnel wall with his hand and felt the cold metal texture.

In the [Insight] state, the slow flow of air outlines the terrain here, preventing Chi Ping from groping in the dark.

After walking down for about thirty minutes, Chi Ping pushed aside anything that blocked his path with one hand. He also punched anything that blocked the entire tunnel.

When we reached the bottom, we found a thick, solid wall that completely sealed off the tunnel.

Chi Ping threw a punch as usual, and many of the surrounding buildings collapsed, but the walls that were hit did not move at all.

This surprised Chi Ping a little.

He had already used [Body of Steel] and [Bone of Steel] and pondered for a moment.

[Body of Steel], [Bone of Steel], and [Heart of Justice] were unleashed together, slamming hard against the back wall. As expected, the ground and surrounding environment shook violently.

But there was not even a mark left on the wall.

Chi Ping immediately realized that this might be left by Wuwei, or Huoba.

His ability is the body of steel, and he will definitely become stronger and stronger after the promotion. This back wall may be difficult to break through.

Even if a win-win situation is achieved, the wall and the laboratory behind it will most likely remain unscathed, while the tunnel will definitely collapse.

Chi Ping thought for a few seconds, then a crack appeared in the space in front of him and he stepped in.

No matter how thick the wall is, it is the same from a spatial perspective.

This wasn't a Space Apocalypse setup. If Space Apocalypse had set up a circular space, forcing the invaders to circle around in circles, then Chi Ping would have been helpless. However, when Huoba formed these defenses, he hadn't yet mastered spatial abilities.

When Chi Ping stepped out of the subspace, he was surprised to find that there was still a faint light in the laboratory.

There was a capsule right in front of the laboratory, and inside it lay a very tall and burly man with his eyes closed, lost in a dream.

The burly man was Hoba, and Ikehira wasn't surprised at all.

What surprised him was that there was actually a person hanging on the wall! To be more precise, there was a metal rack with an interface on the back, and the back of the person's head was connected to this interface.

At first glance it looks like it's hanging on the wall.

Next to the shelf, there is a small screen that records the content of Hoba's transformation:
"January of the year 1002 in the new calendar, the third year after the catastrophe began.

"I, Chief of the Mechanicum, Schimmel Katz, have a 67.13% chance of making history.

"The world's most powerful S-class carrier, the rarest and most precious material—the space core, and the most technologically advanced mechanical body—are about to be forged into the world's most exquisite work of art!"

During this period, the chief engineer Schimmel was still in a very excited state. Facing the fact that he was about to create the strongest cyborg, he was not afraid of death.

but--

“The experiment has been completed, but Wuwei has not woken up. I have checked it many times and still don’t know what the problem is.

"I'm very anxious and lost."

The next description starts on a new page.

"It's now the second month since the experiment was completed, and Wuwei has been in a deep sleep. Could it be that my experiment has failed?
"That's impossible! Feelings can deceive, eyes can deceive, but data can't!

"Every statistic about Wuwei is healthy, but why hasn't he woken up?"

Scrolling down, there was no more recording on the screen. Schimmel carved the content on the wall of the laboratory:
"If my timing is correct, more than a year has passed. During this year, Fearless has shown no signs of waking up, and I have been trapped in the secret room he sealed before his experiment.

"But I always believe that there's nothing wrong with being fearless, and that physical data won't lie. It's just that I'm a little bland and boring."

Some of the instruments in the laboratory are still functioning, and after the modification, their metabolism has slowed down significantly, so the laboratory can provide the oxygen they need.

Chi Ping skipped over a long paragraph of text, skipping through it until the important information appeared again:
“It’s been three years since we were locked down, and I can say with 100% certainty:
“Fearless is fine!

“My experiment is fine!

"As long as Fearless can escape safely, the Overseers will most likely not become a threat to the survival of human civilization.

“The only problem is—”I can’t stand it any longer.

"Boredom and dullness have been eating away at me, my emotions are becoming increasingly dull, and a mechanical will is gradually taking over my body.

"So, I'm also going to sleep, or standby.

"What I fear most is not that I will never wake up again. It's that when I wake up, the outside civilization will have been destroyed and human civilization will enter the next cycle of reincarnation.

“Then everything I do, the ultimate art, loses its meaning.

“This is more terrible than eternal sleep and eternal death!
“Those who come later, if you can see my message, if I become part of the ruins.

"Don't wake me up, just destroy me!"

Below is Schimmel's signature, the handwriting of the modified person is very straight:
"Schumer, in the year 1005 of the New Calendar."

"May mankind prosper."

Chi Ping stared at the last line, speechless for a long time. The ultimate goal of the Mechanicus's transformation was for humanity.

People are the core of transformation.

Even the most radical among them only consider the issue of human survival in extreme circumstances. Schimmel is one of the representatives of the radicals.

Now, Chi Ping needs to wake him up, and through him, wake up Huo Ba.

Following Schimmel's message, Chi Ping unplugged his phone. A few seconds later, a halo of light surrounded Schimmel's eyes, illuminating his pupils.

The bionic pupil contracted twice and began to focus.

Then, his body began to move little by little, from parts to the whole.

The first thing Schimmel saw when he woke up was Chi Ping, and the first thing he said was:

"How long have I been asleep? What year is it now?"

Before Chi Ping could reply, he saw Schimmel's eyes flickering again, a look of deep doubt in his eyes.
"Isn't I the transformed Fearless? How come you, Mr. Chi, are alive?"

"This is very troublesome to explain. The most important thing now is that you turn on Hoba first." Chi Ping pointed to the capsule cabin of the Fearless Hoba.

Schimmel operated the capsule hesitantly for a while, and the top of the capsule was opened, revealing Hoba's resolute face.

Then, he began to activate Hoba——

The reason why Hoba was in a deep sleep was because before the experiment, when he was in a near-death state, he was told that he would undergo a transformation surgery.

At that time, Hoba simply thought that he should be given the body of an ordinary final machine or a type 4 cyborg.

But when he was halfway through the operation, he saw the space core and he understood.

I have robbed my brother Chi Ping of his chance to survive.

In his subconscious, he refused to interact with his new body. He didn't know how long this confused state lasted.

He could feel someone walking around him, busy, trying to wake him up. But even if he wanted to wake up, his new body couldn't fully connect with his spirit.

until--

He heard Chi Ping's voice:
"It's time to wake up."

Then, his spirit took over his body. When he was able to control his eyelids and opened his eyes, the dim light allowed him to quickly adapt to the environment in the laboratory.

Then, Schimmel exclaimed in the laboratory:

"Ouch! Fuck me!"

And the first words that Hoba said:

"You alive, bro?"

Chi Ping, who was called a brother, remained silent.
