Chapter 120: chap-127
"Yes, mass extinction!" "In this world, there have been four big explosions." "The universe was born in an explosion, the earth was formed in an explosion, life appeared in an explosion, and the fourth time was the void devouring it!" "You... are a repatriated person, a life rejected by the Netherland Extinction Body, and a life that is as immortal as a curse."
"Wait a minute, the life rejected by the Extinction Body?" Sam suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it is the Extinction Body that has the ability to send human souls back." "I hope you will tell me something when you return to the Underworld next time after death..." Merlin paused in his voice and looked at him seriously.
"What?"
"Although I have no ability to prevent mass extinction, I can find a direction for the survival of life in this world." "I am a traveler in the world..." He pondered for a moment, then spread his hands, "Just these two sentences."
"Just these two sentences?"
"Yes!"
It was the first time that Sam looked into someone's eyes so seriously.
"I will!" He nodded seriously, as if he did not doubt Merlin's words.
"Well... although I'm glad that you trust me so much, there's no need to look at me like that. I'm still young and my body can't bear it." Merlin felt the somewhat heavy atmosphere and immediately made a joke.
Sam was stunned for a moment, then shook his head speechlessly when he came to his senses, and then plunged into the river.
By the time he reached the other side, Merlin had been waiting for a long time while riding the flying sword.
"Actually, the flying sword's weighing ability is quite strong," Merlin said quietly.
Sam didn't want to talk anymore.
......
The express journey continued, and the two of them walked on a deserted and unusually quiet road. Merlin was basically looking for something to talk about, while Sam silently endured the suddenly noisy journey.
As time went by, Merlin once again found the feeling of delivering express delivery on the computer.
Hmm... From personal experience, the scenery is spectacular, a bit boring, but I feel like I want to keep playing.
Fortunately, after a long journey, Merlin and Sam finally arrived at the first stronghold.
"Zizzizi..." As the electronic sound played, a projection of a woman wearing a white vest, glasses, and a gentle face appeared in front of the two of them. It was Lea! A living corpse!
Lea's original name was Mary Jane, and she and her sister Rockne were conjoined twins. Although they were later separated through surgery, the procedure left sequelae. Lea's ovaries were unable to produce eggs, and her sister Rockne's uterus was infertile.
After Rockne's lover died in a disaster, Lea, who had telepathy, also felt her sister's pain. Rockne combined her lover's frozen genetic material, and then Lea gave birth in her sister's stead. However, during a subsequent childbirth, an accident occurred. Lea was attacked by separatists, and in the struggle between life and death, Lea and the baby who became BT survived in the base.
The identity of the other party suddenly flashed in Merlin's mind. She was also the target of his contact this time.
"The legend is actually late. Was he delayed by something?"
"I encountered time rain and BT, and on the way, I met a kid who called himself a world traveler," Sam replied, checking his body and gesturing for Merlin to step forward.
"He needs your research."
"My research?"
"Yes, about BT," Merlin nodded.
Lea's shadow stared at Merlin for a while, then took a few steps back and nodded. "For the sake of our legendary deliveryman, I agree." She puffed her lips and smiled.
"Thanks!"
After that, Merlin stayed in the base. After receiving Lea's data, he took out a tube of blood left by Sam for research. At the same time, he used Sam's identity to contact the Brigitte organization and obtained many technologies such as 3D printers, maglev vehicles, electromagnetic ziplines, and exoskeletons. Whether using Sam's identity or due to the apocalyptic nature of the world, the technology was almost semi-public, making it easy to acquire.
That night, Merlin in the base felt a violent vibration. Under the pattering rain, a black void suddenly erupted. It was in the direction where Sam was transporting the body to the fire. Merlin probably guessed the cause of the incident, so he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to immerse himself in the knowledge of this world.
However, with less than five days left, Merlin focused on researching printers and weapons to kill BT. With Lea's help in connecting and using Sam's repatriate blood, the research on weapons for BT progressed smoothly. Additionally, printer technology was not difficult for Merlin. A printer combined with Chiral crystals could replicate any weapon, even nuclear weapons.
Day six.
Merlin, who had been immersed in the base, finally walked out of the door, and a BB baby detection device quietly appeared in his arms. In the dim nutrient solution, a naked baby looked at the outside world curiously through the glass wall, its tiny fingers trembling.
"Let's go find BT," he said, waving his hand. The mechanical sword flew in front of him. Compared to a few days ago, the edge of the mechanical long sword was now covered with an extra layer of light yellow energy. These were the anti-BT weapons that he and Lea had developed over the past few days.
Through research on the extinction factor contained in Sam's blood, they had developed a weapon capable of harming BT. But in essence, it was just a layer of enchantment, quite different from consumables like Sam's blood bombs and bloody stools.
The baby in the incubator had recently been acquired through the Brigitte Organization, which represented the existing US government.
The patter of rain made the surroundings hazy, and this was prime weather for BT to emerge. Merlin jumped lightly and landed on the flying sword. Leaning forward slightly, he quickly disappeared into the base, heading into the depths of the wilderness despite the rain.
......…
Merlin traveled for an unknown amount of time in the wilderness until he arrived at a vast river. The detection device finally responded.
"Bah, bang, bang!" The detector flashed rapidly like a petal, its color and direction constantly changing as tension spread quickly.
"Snap!"
"Pah! Pah!"
Suddenly, the detector began flashing even faster, and the baby in the incubator seemed to sense something, staring ahead with wide eyes.
"Gululu..." Hearing the sound of liquid rolling, Merlin looked down. At some point, the originally wet grass had turned into pitch-black tar. Pitch-black palms were reaching out from the tar like they were grabbing from hell, clinging to Merlin's ankle and pulling him down.
Merlin's body began to sink, as if he had stepped into a swamp.
"It's coming soon!"
