I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Some of them are standing back to back like conjoined twins, and some are even fused together in half, forming strange monsters with three legs and one and a half heads.

As they merge into a sufficient material foundation, their strength begins to grow and change, becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

However, this difficulty is only relative to the previous ordinary deformed ones. For the heavy mecha team, it is still a piece of cake and does not require much effort.

As everyone rushed out of the passage, the passage leading to the ground was collapsed and buried by the directional detonation of the Demoman, completely blocking the route for the mutants to attack them.

"Bang...Bang..."

The mecha's dull footsteps echoed in the subway station, and the strong light from the mecha's head provided a clear view of the station environment.

‘Ouch! ! ! ’

"Da da da..."

The deformed creatures that rushed out from time to time were torn apart easily; the darkness did not bring them any benefits.

By comparing with the video footage of the first round of teams entering the alien world, the subway station here is obviously much more dilapidated, and it is most likely one of the first few occupied areas.

This gave Mi Wei a bad feeling: "The density of the ground aberrations is so outrageous, have we fallen into their lair~"

'...'

Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel the same way.

If the number was just a little more, they wouldn't think it was a big deal, but the fact that the number of the opponents was so large that the density was superimposed was really a bit outrageous.

According to the psychics' large-scale scan, there were at least 5 monsters gathered in the area they detected alone. This was the area they were in, and the number had only been there for less than minutes since they landed. If it dragged on, the number of monsters surrounding them would probably exceed one million.

No matter what it is, once the quantity increases, the pressure will be enormous, and you will be exhausted to death.

The psychic captain Taiya noticed the damage on the outer armor of one of the mecha warriors with his keen vision. He frowned, walked forward, reminded the other party, and then stretched out his hand to sense it.

Fortunately, although there was damage, there was no penetration, so a simple repair would be enough.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it is penetrated. The mechas of the Alliance mecha soldiers are all outer armor, and the closed exoskeleton they wear is the inner armor, which is a total of two sets of internal and external protection systems.

But it is better to be safe than sorry, as no one knows whether they will be infected.

The group worked in groups of two to explore the way and clear out the deformed creatures that appeared along the way. There was no energy supply here, so naturally there was no holographic projection to guide them. They moved forward to the service hall in the center of the site and saw a paper map drawn on the wall.

After a quick glance, Mi Wei and others discovered something unusual. Below the entrance to the site, there was a route sign for a super-large underground building complex, and there was most likely a large residential area underneath.

Hmm... Now it's not a residential area, but a huge monster nest~

At this moment, the teams that went out to look for the train reported one after another, and Mi Wei's face became more and more ugly: "Didn't find a single train?"

'Report! No.'

"Report! I have the same here."

They can't move without trains. The nearest station is more than 800 kilometers away. How can they rely on their legs? Most of the energy is wasted on the road.

That leaves only one option, to go down.

If enemies come, we will fight them; if floods come, we will block them with earth. Although it is dangerous to explore further down, perhaps we can get more information.

The road to explore the lower level was indeed filled with a large number of aberrations as they expected. Based on the aberrations' sensitivity to sound, Mi Wei asked everyone to take turns using guns in groups of two, while the others used a mix of projectiles and melee attacks to minimize the loss of ammunition.

As they went deeper into the underground city, they encountered more and more mutants and deformed forms. In addition to the types they had seen before, there were also several new variants.

Such as the deformed reptiles that move on all fours at an incredibly fast speed, those that can self-destruct, and the heavily-armored deformed species that are smaller than them but equally fully armed.

At first, when they were attacked by guns, they thought they encountered a living person, but it turned out to be a deformed person.

According to their speculation, the remaining deformed creatures belong to the professional military forces, which is why they retain certain basic abilities and professional qualities after the deformation.

In a large hospital building, they took a short rest after clearing out the deformed creatures in the building, while Taiya and other psychics searched the important offices in the hospital, trying to find some past records.

To this end, they even found a way to restore the power supply to the hospital, which allowed them to connect to the hospital's internal network and get some new information.

They checked past video records on the computer at the monitoring center.

The hospital in the other world projected on the screen was as busy as the Alliance Hospital. A large number of patients were stranded in the hospital corridors. At the same time, several mobile beds were shuttling back and forth in the transparent corridor in the middle of the corridor, taking patients in need of emergency treatment to different departments.

Among these patients, Mi Wei noticed that several of them had large black and red stains on their clothes, which was very similar to the color of the blood of the mutants they killed.

Through other surveillance, it can be seen that after being sent to the hospital, they were eventually tied tightly to the beds, and then the doctors came in to give them first aid.

Even though his body was splattered with large amounts of black and red blood, the doctor did not retreat at all.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the playback on the camera monitor showed that he had not successfully cured even a single such patient. On the contrary, almost all patients with similar symptoms who were sent to him could not survive the rescue, and the mortality rate reached an astonishing 100%.

One of the shots was the surveillance footage of the operating room. The internal organs of the special patients whose skin and flesh had been cut open and whose cavities had been opened all appeared grey and black, and the auxiliary female nurses in the department let out a low cry of surprise.

Taiya looked at the monitor and quickly wrote down on his notebook [This virus does not have the ability to infect people a second time...]

Chapter 392 The future is promising~

"Oh!"

'ah! ! ! '

On the monitor screen, the patient's intra-abdominal cavity was being opened and his internal organs suddenly exploded into a black blood mist that splattered in all directions. The doctors and nurses surrounding the operating bed were covered in it, causing a burst of terrified screams.

Then, the doctors and nurses fell to the ground one after another in front of the astonished eyes of Mi Wei and others, their bodies squirming violently. Within a few seconds, the originally normal human figures began to twist, and when they stood up again, they turned into the deformed forms that Mi Wei and others were familiar with.

Taya silently crossed out the entry he had just written in his notebook. It was not that this thing had no ability to infect, but the speed of infection and alienation was many times more terrifying than the red fog.

Looking at the monitor screen showing several deformed creatures rushing towards the outside of the operating room and starting to slaughter other ordinary people, Mi Wei silently calculated.

In less than ten minutes, this large hospital with an estimated population of about three to four thousand people was completely destroyed.

During this time, two waves of official personnel rushed in from outside the hospital. The first wave was police officers carrying electromagnetic pistols who were killed instantly. The second wave rushed in directly and was a group of fully armed teams holding electromagnetic rifles. At the beginning, they suppressed the attacking mutants.

However, during the counterattack, one member was wounded by a mutant while changing bullets, and the team exploded instantly and was defeated and assimilated by the mutants one by one.

Mi Wei sighed: "Let's go."

Taiya suddenly said: "Commander, wait a minute! Look!"

Just as the hospital was completely transformed into a living hell, more than a dozen people dressed strangely came in at the door.

They were not attacked by the aberrations, which passed by them as if they could not see them.

The group of people looked as if they were used to it, completely ignoring the miserable scene around them. They kicked open the room where the medicines were kept, rushed in and started looting, looking like they were setting fire to something.

Their dark white pupils were also seen by Mi Wei and others: "This is the group of suspected immune people they mentioned, right?"

Taiya nodded: "Hmm..."

"Tsk, look at how they don't seem to be surprised by this. I'm afraid these immune people have a very good understanding of this 'virus' from the beginning."

Judging from the way the hospital staff reacted to the patients, they had never experienced an attack by mutants before so they were not prepared at all. It was even very likely that this was the outbreak point of the first round of mutants.

But the looks of these people with rolling eyes showed that they had expected this, and when combined with the information obtained previously, there must be a lot of twists and turns involved.

After returning to the hall to reunite with everyone, Mi Wei decided, based on the printed map, that her next destination would be the City Lord's Mansion in the underground city. As the administrative center of the city, the answers they were looking for might be there.

At the same time, the outside world

After seeing off Mi Wei's team, Medea stayed by their side and waited for the separation of the Jiyuan life form to be completed.

[Did someone sneak out? ]

[Come back soon! I don’t want to be beaten again...]

[Please come back soon! I'm so hungry. ]

As the energy became less and less, Medea gradually extracted and separated the independent spiritual consciousness bodies, which were all filled with the spiritual consciousness of young children.

Even though Medea felt that she was a very determined person and had prepared herself mentally, she still felt uncomfortable every time she heard such childish talk.

As the last child's consciousness was separated, Medea placed it into a small extreme source energy tank that had been prepared long ago to maintain its life. Then he turned his head and looked at the energy ball, or jelly?, less than one meter in size in the center of the field.

At this time, a pair of soft white lights lit up in the center of the energy ball. Medea felt that she was being watched and smiled at the energy ball: "Ilea?"

'I don't know who you are, and I don't know you. But thank you!'

Medea nodded. She deserved the thanks.

Medea briefly briefed her on the current situation and the status of her civilization.

Ilea listened in silence, watching the images recorded by the advance team. After a while, she suddenly chuckled: "It's better to be gone, it's better to be gone~"

"Simons, for the future of civilization, you have abandoned all humanity just so that civilization can continue to exist. But if you completely abandon humanity, then why not leave the future of civilization to absolutely rational artificial intelligence?"

"How ridiculous! This ending is the biggest punishment for you!"

Medea crossed her arms and said, "Let's not talk about that dead man. Do you have any ideas for the future? Come and work for me."

"In fact, your civilization has not completely perished. At least there are still hundreds of young spiritual consciousnesses here. It's just that you may not be able to continue to exist in your previous life form."

'Oh? Tell me about it.'

"Whether it's my civilization or yours, the programs of robots and artificial intelligence seem to be easily tampered with and reset. This is a huge security risk."

"We have confirmed with each other that even different worlds have similar technological paths, so there is no guarantee that other civilizations will not also have the possibility of inciting rebellion by artificial intelligence."

"So our scientists have come up with a new idea to replace existing electronic computers with a brand new biological intelligent computer, and the biggest difficulty is the extraction of consciousness."

"It's obvious that you're both in a very suitable situation right now, so we can cooperate with each other. No, to be exact, we can support each other."

"We will work together to research bio-intelligence technology. Once the technology breaks through, I will re-enact the racial identification bill, defining autonomous consciousness as a new racial basis for certification. At that time, you will join our big family as an independent race."

Mitia continued to persuade him, "When the time comes, as long as the consciousness extraction is completed and they are re-certified as new biological intelligence with independent consciousness, they will be automatically included in your tribe. Then the problem of the tribe's reproduction will be solved."

The biological intelligence that Medea talked about is not as simple as a conscious brain, but a vague yet real spiritual consciousness that can be attached to replace rigid mechanical programs.

Apart from spiritual consciousness, it does not have any biological cells. It is a real silicon-based life, but its spirit or soul is not biological. The biological part refers to its soul core.

This was once again just a crazy idea before, but there were no substantial experiments, mainly because the speed at which psychics could tamper with mechanical programs was too abnormal, almost like entering an empty space, and as long as the psychics were capable enough, they could change it however they wanted.

This should involve the idealistic level, directly interfering with the real material from the spiritual level.

Therefore, scientists of the Alliance think that perhaps biological intelligence that exists in the same way as idealism can fight against such power.

It is the fundamental difference between the confrontation between consciousness and consciousness and the confrontation between consciousness and inanimate matter.

If this can be achieved, perhaps in the future the armor worn by the alliance soldiers or the fighter planes and warships can become a living being. This is a definite future that can be expected.

Chapter 393 You are me, I am you~

In the empty mecha, Ilea awkwardly controlled the mecha to stand up and walk around the venue, adapting to this new body.
