Modifying the universe starts with Minecraft command blocks!

Chapter 141 "On the Idealistic Resurrection Method of Carbon-Based Life Forms Stepping on Their Own Foot to Reach Heaven"

"Forget it, why think about it so much?"

Pei Qi shook his head, banishing all thoughts of "miraculous arts," "hatred of flesh and blood," and "secret affairs" from his mind.

As a seasoned pro at slacking off and a Minecraft player, he is well-versed in the survival rules of Earth Online.

"When it really comes to the ultimate crisis, there will naturally be a superhuman like Lord Neos who will appear out of nowhere, or some chosen ones from different planes with protagonist auras who will destroy everything."

"Even that elusive Secretary-General hasn't issued any sweeping red statement yet, so why am I meddling in this?"

While humming an unknown tune, Pei Qi took out several redstone wires and a [HBM Nuclear Technology: Detonation Controller] from his inventory.

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"I'm just an employee. I'll be content as long as I manage my little corner of the Asian branch well and meet the monthly targets on time."

"Click".

With a crisp mechanical click, Pei Qi perfectly connected the last insulated redstone wire to the detonator's terminal.

The green indicator light on the control panel, signifying "Fuse unlocked," lit up instantly and flashed evenly.

This officially marks the end of the "elimination procedure" for clearing out Manhattan's red zone, with all preliminary work now complete.

Pei Qi dusted off his hands, stood up, and turned to look at Alex Mercer, who had been standing behind him as a temporary bodyguard and supervisor.

"Alright, the hard work here is completely over."

"How's it going, Alex?"

"Would you like to stay with me, sipping an ice-cold Coke in this superb VIP front-row viewing area, and watch what might be the most spectacular neutron annihilation fireworks show of your lifetime?"

Pei Qi even added, "If you're looking for a thrill, I can even open the glass dome a crack."

"Experience firsthand, up close, the ultimate push-back sensation of surfing in waves of high-energy radiation from a neutron bomb—it'll send every cell in your body soaring to heaven!"

"No need. I don't think my cells want to ascend to heaven."

Alex looked at Pei Qi's smiling face, which seemed to say "Come on, you're asking for trouble," and shook his head repeatedly without hesitation, or rather, as if he wanted to avoid it at all costs.

What kind of international joke is this?!

Stay to watch the neutron bomb fireworks show? And go surfing in high-energy radiation?!

Alex's rationality, typical of a top biologist, and his survival instinct, characteristic of the Blacklight virus, converged in an unprecedented unity at this moment.

Run! Get as far away from this madman as possible!

Although he had just experienced the tragic grandeur of carrying a nuclear bomb to his death in the illusion of the "Alaya Questionnaire".

But illusions are illusions, and that doesn't mean that Alex really wants to physically withstand a neutron bomb that has been specially modified with high-energy radiation in reality!

If it were a regular atomic bomb, Alex might have been able to survive in the edge of the shockwave and high temperature thanks to the Blacklight virus's unreasonable "super-fast regeneration," and at worst, he could just eat a few crows or rats to replenish his health.

But neutron bombs are different! They are microscopic reapers specifically designed to deal with carbon-based life forms!

Its uncharged fast neutron stream can penetrate his cuticle armor without hindrance and directly bombard the protein structure of every virus in his body!

It will brutally break the helical strands of DNA, causing all telomeres to stop dividing!

For an abnormal entity like the Blacklight Virus, which evolves solely by "devouring genes and recombining DNA".

The radiation from a neutron bomb is like pouring a huge bucket of strong acid directly into a precision lithography machine that is running at high speed!

Alex had no doubt that if he really did stand there foolishly "surfing," it would be a disaster.

He would absolutely melt from a biochemical overlord capable of countless transformations into a green-glowing, radioactive sludge that couldn't even maintain the most basic protein structure within half a second.

"This is absolutely no joke."

Alex took a step back, his dark red eyes filled with vigilance.

He gave a perfectly legitimate reason for refusing: "Furthermore, although I heard your assurances about saving the survivors, and I am aware of the methods of your Supernatural Alliance, but—"

Dana's face flashed through Alex's mind.

"I can't be completely at ease until I see her safe with my own eyes."

"I need to go to your so-called 'temporary airship' immediately to see how my sister is doing."

"I need to be there in case she gets infected by radiation or is targeted by remnants of Blackwatch."

So, I'll skip watching the fireworks.

This VIP seat, filled with radiation and death, is best left for Pei Qi, this illogical monster, to enjoy at his own pace.

"Tsk, what a clueless siscon."

Seeing Alex's extremely decisive, even somewhat hasty, refusal.

Pei Qi pursed his lips in utter disappointment, his face filled with the heartache of "you missed out on a fortune."

"Why is it so difficult to cultivate a research assistant with an exploratory spirit these days?"

It is important to understand that being able to observe a tactical neutron bomb firing at close range, from all angles and without blind spots, outside a completely physically isolated safety enclosure is a remarkable achievement.

This rare opportunity to watch a film, which is enough to be recorded in the history of human nuclear weapons development, is not something everyone can have!

If this were on Earth, these "VIP tickets to a nuclear explosion site" would definitely sell for an astronomical price!

Moreover, Pei Qi's invitation for Alex to stay wasn't simply to find someone to watch the fireworks with.

As someone with a severe "fear of insufficient firepower" and a "curiosity mentality".

Pei Qi was actually driven by an extremely strong thirst for knowledge, wanting to observe what kind of chemical reaction would occur when the "Blacklight Virus," which pushed the physical evolution attributes to the limit, faced "high-energy neutron radiation special attack"!

"What a pity, what a real pity."

He was really looking forward to verifying in practice whether the priority of the Blacklight virus's rapid regeneration could outpace the rate of cell apoptosis when the gene chain of the virus completely collapses due to a neutron flux.

Or perhaps we could explore the microscopic probability of the Blacklight virus absorbing high concentrations of radioactive isotopes and undergoing benign mutations to evolve into "nuclear-powered zombies".

The next one is what Pei Qi regrets the most.

After all, in his memory, the original ending of Prototype 1...

Alex survived the blast of a multi-megaton nuclear bomb on the sea. With his body completely vaporized and reduced to a pile of mangled flesh, he miraculously recovered by devouring an unfortunate crow perched on his remains!

Since a nuclear bomb can't kill you, you can be resurrected by crows.

What if we replaced it with a neutron bomb that destroys DNA structure?

Pei Qi had even secretly prepared a cage of lively pigeons and crows in his inventory.

They're just waiting for Alex to be turned into a puddle of mud by the neutron beam so they can release him for a resurrection experiment!

"If you can even revive yourself by eating crows after using neutron bombs for whitewashing, then I'll have to write a paper about you and publish it in a top academic journal of paranormal research. The title will be 'On the Idealistic Resurrection Method of Carbon-Based Life Forms Stepping on Their Right Foot to Reach the Sky!'"

Pei Qi sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, this guinea pig isn't taking the bait."

"If this were in another universe, do you believe I could sell out all these tickets?"

"Never, ever underestimate the human species' curiosity and their tendency to court death."

If Pei Qi really posts a crowdfunding project on the dark web for a "Manhattan Nuclear Explosion VIP Observation Deck," he'd bet a whole backpack full of diamonds on it!

In reality, there are definitely plenty of super-rich people who are tired of living, thrill-seeking extreme sports fanatics, or fanatics who believe in doomsday cults, waving their checkbooks and spending their entire fortunes to buy a ticket to see a nuclear explosion up close!

"After all, with me, their big brother, possessing the [General Mechanics] technology tree, they have plenty of radiation-proof glass and quantum bias shields to ensure they don't get burned to ashes."

Even if—

Pei Qi's lips curled into an extremely "moral" smile.

"Even if my protective shield accidentally let in just the slightest crack, causing those wealthy people who paid for thrills to experience some unknown mutations due to a tiny bit of high-energy radiation—"

"As the organizer, I will certainly uphold the spirit of humanitarianism and do my utmost to provide them with aid" and "conduct in-depth research!"

In those classic science fiction comics, high-energy radiation is practically an assembly line for mass-producing superheroes and supervillains!

"Imagine if that unfortunate millionaire was irradiated with a mixture of gamma rays and neutrons, and instead of dying, his skin suddenly turned green, his body swelled to over three meters tall, even his underwear ripped, and he gained the power to dismantle an aircraft carrier with his bare hands whenever he got angry—"

Pei Qi became more and more excited as he thought about it. If he could really create a "Hulk" by hand, the Supernatural Alliance's physical assault team would be even more powerful!

"Of course, it doesn't matter if I can't pull a top-tier SSR like the Hulk."

Pei Qi stroked his chin, making plans for fame in his mind with extreme tolerance.

"If it's a slightly less severe mutation, such as the body becoming like rubber and able to stretch and contract freely."

"Or perhaps the cell structure is altered, enabling it to become invisible at any time or even create force fields."

"At worst, I'll burst into flames and fly into the sky as a thunderbolt," or my muscles will turn to stone, making me an invulnerable "stone man" —

Pei Qi said he could totally accept this kind of radiation mutation package, on par with the Fantastic Four! He'd take anything!

"As long as they don't die on the spot, no matter what kind of weird superhero they mutate into, I can put them in the Anomaly Strike Team and make them work for free."

"After all, in this universe teeming with monsters and demons, high-level workers are a resource that the more the better!"
