Chapter 509 - Jiulong Street
Here is Chapter 509 of "My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World": The young girl walked through the passageway to a door. With a beep, she opened... Donât miss it!
The young girl walked through the passageway to a door. With a beep, she opened it, and a nauseating stench assaulted her nose, greeting her with dense darkness.In the darkness, sounds of a creature crawling came forth. The creature crawled on the ground, and its skin rubbed against the smooth surface, producing a teeth-grinding noise. The "huff, huff" sounds echoed, and its breathing was heavy like a beast.
"Itâs truly disgusting."
The girl shone a light ahead, and as soon as the creature saw it, it exhibited intense pain, letting out a piercing cry, wanting to retreat back into the darkness, but had nowhere to hide in the white light.
Only then did the creatureâs form gradually become clear.
It was a human.
His body was as thick as a sumo wrestler multiplied several times, with pale, wobbling flesh rippling like water, flowing down in rolls. Within the folds, there were remnants of mushy food, from which the strong stench emanated.
He cowered fearfully in the corner; without a closer look, one might think a tumor had grown on the wall. Having lived in darkness for long, this humanâs eyes had already degenerated, and the features on his face sagged together.
The scene reminded March of a movie she had seen, named "Yu Zi," which left a deep impression on her with its setting: humans used genetic technology to merge the genes of hippos, dogs, and pigs to create an extra meat-producing "super pig." Yu Zi was such a super pig; the filmâs content was mainly a healing and touching story between the protagonist Meiko and the super pig Yu Zi.
Of course, this human didnât share the "super pigâs" naivety or cuteness, only its size.
That human had long lost the ability to speak, only capable of emitting instinctive sounds; not far off was his "nest bed," a device resembling a large swimming pool, filled with transparent liquid and densely packed with tubes at the bottom.
Clearly, he had sensed the young girl in front of him was unusual.
He was unsure of what was happening outside; why would the obedient bionics suddenly show him malice?
The man struggled to crawl back to his nest bed; he must quickly access the Hera Network and send out an alert, so the autonomous units notice the anomaly here. The Mayfly Drones will tear this intruder apart!
"Already turned into this, what meaning is there in living?"
March walked beside the man and crouched down, holding his face, watching with interest as he crawled towards the nest bed.
"Whatâs the difference between being dead or alive? Still thinking youâre the owner of Skyline City, but clearly thereâs no difference from being bionicsâ pets. Being supported? I think itâs no different from pigs being penned."
"Immersed in a virtual reality matrix cage constructed by bionics, what are you like in the virtual world? A successful businessman, a knowledgeable scholar, or a superhero saving the world?
Marchâs tone lifted: "Actually, you are just livestock trapped in a hive, not even worthy of owning dignity."
These words undoubtedly deeply pierced the humanâs dignity; he went mad, opening his mouth to bite the girl beside him but ended up biting an incomparably hard metal sphere, almost shattering his teeth.
"Hey hey, donât be angry, here, have some candy." March pulled a pin, stood up, smiled and retreated a few steps, with a hint of coldness in her smile, "Iâm here to help you free yourself, you should be thanking me."
The man, terrified, covered his mouth, red light flashing inside.
Boomâ
Fire shot out from a part of the floating platform, the entire platform trembling with the violent explosion, piercing alarms echoing within the Ark.
March calmly watched the rolling Fireball fall downward.
If nothing unexpected happens, the autonomous unit has received the alert, and those fully armed Mayfly Drones will arrive at her location in thirty seconds.
March looked up, staring at thousands of unit cells embedded in the wall ahead; countless cells comprised this gigantic hive, with each unit cell behind it being humans like that man, being supported.
Her index finger gently moved, examining closely; innumerable filaments connected to her fingertips. As she gently pulled, a crisp sound echoed from the air.
The densely flickering red lights clashed with the cold glimmering wall surface violently. The girl stood on the floating platform, as tiny as a speck of dust. In front of her, tens of thousands of red lights flickered uniformly, like ancient gods of the deep sea opening their eyes in the dark.
Silence flowed, death whispered.
"So beautiful," March murmured under her breath.
In the next moment, the darkness receded, blinding white light devoured the world!
Countless unit cells burned and disintegrated, sparks rising and rolling with ashes, heat waves invading in bursts, air sizzling to the point of distortion, as if Devils were cackling. The exploding flames madly spread to every part of the Steel Barrier, the sky falling in scorching shadow!
The raging wind howled, tearing away all obstacles, pouring onto the floating platform; the roar was deafening, yet the girl had already disappeared.
"What exactly happened?"
"Quick, area D1782 is under attack, need immediate assistance!"
"Under attack, how is that possible? Hera didnât send any alerts prior to this!"
In the chaos, March yawned as the running crowd passed by her. Just as she was thinking about how to use this bionic body directly to bypass Heraâs surveillance and exit the completely sealed Ark, several figures intercepted her, exchanging malicious glances.
"Boss, is it her?"
"Yes, yes, itâs her being different, unlike other Disciplinary Officers."
Members of the Golden Navigator looked at Nanjia Wood standing in the middle and suggested.
Nanjia Wood also carefully scrutinized the girl in front of him; her attire was no different from ordinary bionics, all in uniform, yet tied in twin ponytails, easily distinguishable among the crowd.
Just as they were lost in this broken place, needing a bionic to guide them.
"Donât be afraid, little girl, weâre all good people, hehehe, as long as you obediently follow us, you wonât get hurt."
"No, donât forget weâre humans, these bionics were meant to obey us."
"You, lead us now, or youâll be dead, understand?"
Marchâs mouth twitched.
The Land Air Vehicle shook off all enemies, stopped on a street.
The five quickly got off, lively sounds wafting from afar. Looking at the surrounding red lanterns and festive decorations, along with the streets immersed in cyber fireworks, they thought they came to the wrong place; they saw traces of hesitation on each otherâs faces.
A misty pavilion bridge traversed above; in front were towering tea houses, theaters, pawn shops, archways, temples, and many familiar traditional buildings. Xu Xiaoyou felt momentarily lost.
"This is Jiulong Street," Cervantes spoke timely. "Itâs crowded and noisy here, with complex terrain, I think itâs most suited to your current situation."
The four other teammates looked at each other in a daze, leaving only Angelina with a face full of confusion, not understanding what was happening to them.
"Letâs go," Xu Xiaoyou snapped back to reality and said.
