The Originium Worm in Tomorrow's Ark

This scene made everyone around them widen their eyes. Basically, the constructs had installed scanners for convenience. They clearly discovered that what was leaking from Huang Cheng's wound was not red circulating fluid, but real real fluid. of human blood.

At this time, Luna only felt a bit slapped in the face, but what he said just now meant that she could help Huang Cheng connect to the upgrading network no matter what.

This is based on Huang Cheng's identity as a construct, but if it were a human, there was nothing she could do.

There is no other way but without experience. Has he participated in the training of commanders? Maybe after learning, he will know how to connect humans to the structure and then connect to the entire network.

He is now only an elementary school student with an elementary school education who has never even attended junior high school.

But Luna reacted again, with a very shocked look on her face.

"How can humans defeat constructs? Even though you are so weak physically, you can't be human. What's that big tail behind you?"

This is what Luna and her team want to know, because according to some of his observations, Huang Cheng's tail is very flexible, and it doesn't look like there are fixed movements set by a machine at all.

"This is unreasonable!" Luna said.

"This is very reasonable. The world is so big and full of wonders. How do you know? What you see is the whole world. How do you know that some of the secrets in this world are still buried deep underground."

This matter can indeed be said to be unbelievable. Human beings can actually create a very powerful structure by their own abilities, let alone defeat Gabriel, who is currently the second most powerful person in the team.

My sister is not included.

"With a little bit of personal strength, coupled with a little luck and hard work of one or two years, I finally achieved the results of the competition."

"Then what is that blue and red energy? Don't tell me it's electric current. Although I haven't gone to school, my ability to observe the structure will improve over time, which means I can still tell the difference clearly. The relationship between that big bow and electric current."

"And Roland also told me that being hit by him didn't feel like electricity at all, but like being burned by fire."

Faced with Luna's inquiry, Huang Cheng just shook his head and did not intend to reveal more. This was not something he was hiding, and they would not be able to learn these things. It would be better not to say it. It would be more troublesome to say it. .

"Military secrets, no comment. In short, I won't join the promotion. I have other things to do." Huang Cheng replied.

"Well, when you want to leave in a few days, you can leave at will, or you can join us without becoming an upgrader, but it depends on your choice."

In the end, Luna did not rush him to refuse immediately, but continued to persuade him to join the Ascended Team.

He is a vital fighting force, and both emotionally and logically, he should be carefully guarded to prevent him from accidentally coming to their opposite side.

If they really come to the opposite side, Luna feels that she will not have an easy life in the future. A powerful person is always staring at you. Do you think you can live well?

Luna now understood that if she tried her best, she might not be able to defeat the opponent.

Chapter 136 Farewell and Emergency Return

"Why do humans have such big tails? You still say you are not a machine? Do you think you have mutated?"

Luna looked like I don't know much but you can't fool me.

"You can understand it this way, I have mutated."

Huang Cheng was also helpless about this. After all, this is still a scientific world that is still very taboo about his kind of existence. It is impossible for a human to have such a big tail.

But what Luna said next made him unable to hold on any longer.

"Can you touch it for me?" Luna said, staring at Huang Cheng's tail.

"There's something wrong with you!" Huang Cheng flashed a dangerous look.

"It won't hurt if you touch it for me. I won't cut it off. I haven't touched the tail of other creatures yet."

Looking at Lucia next to him, Huang Cheng found that there was also a desire for his tail in his eyes.

"You are indeed two sisters. Forget it, you can't feel anything anyway. It's all covered with shells. Just don't touch it."

With Huang Cheng's permission, the two sisters began to move their hands up and down Huang Cheng's tail. They basically touched it from top to bottom except for the sharp tip.

Huang Cheng was not idle during this, and a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

That's the sound of the system rushing.

[Host, let me tell you some bad news] The slightly embarrassing voice from the system suddenly gave Huang Cheng a bad feeling in his heart.

"I believe it must have something to do with me."

[Yes, that means we may not be able to go back, because a large light ball has recently undergone system maintenance, and our official travel channel has been temporarily closed. 】

"How long will it be? Don't tell me it's unknown?" Huang Cheng said speechlessly.

[It can take as short as a few months, or as long as hundreds of years, it depends on whether the big light ball works well or not. 】

Huang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

What a hell if it really takes 100 years for him to go back! According to what the system said, his time travel was synchronized with the timeline of another world.

How much time has passed in the time travel, how much time has passed in Arknights.

And now it has been almost a week in this world. If I live in Arknights for 100 years, what will be left when I go back?

Things from the sea come directly ashore to wash the land.

I'm afraid he will only see a certain big green cat when he goes back, and most of the people he knows have already died.

There are basically few immortals among the people he knows, so he really has to wait 100 years.

[Actually, there is another method that is more risky, but you can still go back. 】

"What method?" Huang Cheng asked.

[Didn’t I prepare a charm for the host? That thing uses a special transmission channel and will not be affected by the official. Generally speaking, this kind of charm will not be closed to prevent it from being unable to return in case of any accident. 】

"Does that mean I can return to the world of Arknights in that way?"

[Yes, but the process may be a little painful]

Huang Cheng opened the introduction panel of the prop. It said that its function could only be triggered by receiving fatal damage.

In other words, it must be fatal.

"System, you've done me a lot of harm." Huang Cheng complained in his mind, while showing a bitter look on his face.

【Apologies very much! Red bean paste private Marseille! Don’t worry, you will be compensated when you return! Just get the props for this mission when you get back! 】

Huang Cheng: "What props? Tell you, don't just give me underwear to a female character like other novel systems do. I don't like this! What do I need this kind of thing for? I'm not a pervert!" "

System: [I know you boys too well. I definitely don’t know how to do that kind of thing. If you believe me, sister, I will prepare a big reward for you! 】

Huang Cheng: "What is it? Can you reveal it in advance so that I can have a better understanding?"

System: [Do you want a floating island? This thing can be flown by anyone, and as long as there is enough energy, you can even fly to outer space.

That thing is much bigger than Otto's floating island.

There is also a complete set of life-sustaining equipment on it. Although there is no weapon system, I think it is not a big problem. Do you want to say a word? 】

Floating island? In his impression, the only person on the floating island seems to be Alto, and according to what he just said, it seems to be very large in area and volume.

Huang Cheng gritted his teeth and decided to rush forward. He couldn't choose anything else at this time. If he really couldn't go back, it would be really embarrassing.

[Wise choice, rest assured that the host will never be in danger of your life. According to our system rules, if the host suffers some unknown damage due to system reasons, the large universe life support system can be activated.

While you are in a coma, you accept the protection of our system protocol, and it will be difficult for you to die. Even if Terra is going to explode while you are in a coma, our system can keep him from exploding. 】

[So young host, you can wipe your neck, or dig into your heart. Before this channel is closed, make your choice quickly! 】

"Can you come back in the future? I haven't taken those two people in yet?"

Huang Cheng thought of the two infected people who were still in the sky garden. He would definitely recycle them. He was only going to study them instead of letting those two people die completely in a foreign land.

"It's okay, don't worry about the Origin Stone taking root and sprouting in this world after so long. Just these few stones are far from turning this world into the second Terra. The world consciousness in this world is not just for free."

After getting a positive answer, Huang Cheng began to prepare to go back. The first thing was to say goodbye to a few people next to him.

Huang Cheng retracted his tail and said to Lucia seriously: "I'm suddenly in a hurry and I'm going back to my home. I'm very sorry, but I'm really in a hurry."

Lucia lowered her head as if a little reluctant, but he still nodded to express understanding.

"If you have something urgent, don't delay. We can meet again in the future, right?" Lucia said.

"We can meet again in the future, I promise, but it will take a long time and I don't know when."

"As long as we can meet again, everything will be fine. Even if hundreds of years pass, I will not grow old as a construct."

At this time, Luna next to her also spoke.

"Although you are human, I don't think you are annoying. Take care of yourself. When you come back, you will see a brand new world."

At this time, Luna also understood a little more. What Huang Cheng said about leaving did not mean leaving them to go to another place, but it had some special meaning.

Chapter 137: Digging out your heart

"Everyone, let's meet again in the future when we are destined."

In order to rush for time, Huang Cheng decided to leave tonight. In front of the fire, Huang Cheng gave his blessing to everyone except Gabriel.

After saying goodbye, Huang Cheng kicked up his feet hard, jumped high in an instant, and rushed to the inside of a building in one step or two.

Huang Cheng took a look and it should be a long distance away from them.

He raised another bonfire inside the building. Under the bright firelight, Huang Cheng looked at the silver-shining weapon on his arm.

Huang Cheng swallowed and looked a little nervous.

[Speed, don’t hesitate, you might not be able to come back if you’re late]

"You're standing and talking without hurting your back. It's me who's cutting, not you. Of course you're talking about speed." Huang Cheng rolled his eyes at the system angrily in his mind.

After struggling for a while, Huang Cheng gestured to his heart with the knife.

Originally, he wanted to wipe his neck directly, but then he found that it seemed that he would not die happily, and the consciousness would remain in his brain for a long time. In comparison, it would be faster to stab his heart.

Huang Cheng took a deep breath, stared at the weapon in his hand for a while, and then stabbed himself directly in the heart.

In an instant, red and golden blood spurted out, staining his clothes and the floor in front of him red.

At the same time, he also felt a heartbreaking pain, but fortunately, his willpower was still strong. These years of life had not only improved his endurance, but also improved his will.

In the past, he would have been rolling around in circles a few times.

But now he just silently felt his consciousness gradually slipping away. After the initial pain passed, his body became cold.

"Is this what death feels like? It's the first time in my life that I've felt this kind of... system. I hope you don't trick me..."

Feeling that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, Huang Cheng finally felt that everything about him no longer belonged to him, whether it was senses or hearing.

At the last moment, Huang Cheng heard such a very stiff mechanical prompt.

[Detect that the system array is close to death, and immediately activate the teleportation summoning talisman, which will restore the host's minimum physical energy]

However, Huang Cheng had completely lost consciousness before he finished listening.

Then his entire body lit up with colorful colors, and these colorful colors directly gathered into a protective shield, covering Huang Cheng's entire body.

Then he shot up into the sky with a bang, shaking the building he was in and shattering it. After that, his speed became faster and faster.

The colorful light group swept past the hanging garden and headed straight into the depths of the universe, ignoring the laws of time and changes in space.

Mere relative movement in position is not a layer-by-layer travel in time.

So even if he exceeds the speed of light, time still has no effect on him.

The colorful ball of light is getting faster and faster.

Double the speed of light.

Twice the speed of light.

Three times the speed of light.

...Until one hundred billion times the speed of light, he passed directly through the barrier of the universe with a crisp sound.

It flew directly towards a certain goal in the multiverse, and the speed became faster and faster.

Until every second directly spans the distance of a universe, which is far from a speed that can be described by the speed of light.

It wasn't until he passed through countless stars and darkness that he finally saw a planet emitting unknown light.

That is the land of Terra.

The light group carefully circled the planet, as if waiting for some opportunity, and then he seemed to be aiming at the entrance of some hole and jumped down directly.

Falling straight towards the land.
