Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 297: The Way of the Swarm (4/4)


—want to look up at the blue sky.

—Want to gaze at the stars.

—Want to touch the clouds.

—I want to catch the wind with my hands.

One longing after another is churning, one wish after another is shouting.

Different people, different desires, different desires and hesitation.

With sadness, with anger, with hope, with determination.

All emotions are resonating with Yin En, he feels all the emotions at this moment, the indescribable complex desire is similar to him.

Imprisoned on this land, surrounded by souls bound by gravity, those countries that obviously have powerful technology but do not want to take a step forward, but wage war on other countries... each of them It made him both sad and angry.

But...

'He' can't see it.

The blond hair turned into dull gray, and the strong man with sky blue eyes turned into an old man, but he still couldn't open the door to the outside world, Sequoia Base was like a cage, locking him in This comfortable but gradually decaying underground space.

Yes, it is cozy and comfortable here.

Yes, he is in a high position here.

Yes, he has great power and the reverence of the people.

Yes, he has reached the top of his life - he can do anything.

Except what he wants to do.

And...

He is dying.

[After I die, is it okay to send my body out of the ruins? ]

[Great Elder... Your body itself is our most important legacy, what if a mutated creature from the outside world swallows your body and obtains the secret key of the bloodline? Among other things, your attached brain must be recycled]

The corpse itself is also property. This is a very normal fact. The flesh of Sequoia people needs special treatment before they can be buried, because the various nano-vaccines, special immune viruses and symbiotic bacteria in their bodies are all It is a technology left over from the pre-epoch. Once leaked to the outside world, although it is not an ecological disaster, it will definitely have adverse effects.

As for the attached brain that inherits the memory, it must be removed after death and the memory uploaded.

But for the Sequoia people, taking off the attached brain is equivalent to taking off half of their own souls, so what do you want the crippled body for?

[OK, I see...]

No one could hear the faint despair in the elder's tone.

And decisively.

Thus, two years later, the automatic production line was suddenly damaged by an accident.

Immediately afterwards, the restraint lock of the ecological park was destroyed.

The two abnormal crises have caused everyone in the entire Sequoia base to be devastated. The automatic production line is okay. After all, there are skills in the attached brain. It is not difficult to remanufacture or repair. Metal.

But the ecological park was destroyed, and the mixed creatures inside were enough to create a second-level ecological crisis here!

When dealing with this huge turmoil, no one noticed that some extremely confidential genetic samples were taken away from the laboratory deep in the ecological park.

Then, as if bad things weren't enough, one after another, some Sequoias disappeared.

They disappeared suddenly one night, and they were silent, which made everyone extremely nervous, thinking that it was the aliens and aliens in the ecological park and the individuals left outside, and now they were attacking them.

Driving armored **** members to patrol day and night, but people continue to disappear.

Until one day, a person was discovered by the guards during the process of leaving, but this person had lost his will, his mind was completely disordered, and he was speaking a mess of words, as if he was completely crazy.

After detailed medical examinations, everyone was shocked to find that the attached brain behind the person's brainstem had mutated. The brain takes its place.

There is a source behind all of this. After careful investigation, the Sequoia people found out with horror that all the missing people disappeared at the other end of the H-55 underwater channel, which is the source of the viewing river. A small branch of the group cooling channel.

In the water purification plant there, there is a hill made of corpses and a small biological laboratory that has been established for a long time.

Among them, many instruments are of the highest secret level, and only exist in the pre-epoch laboratory that requires a key card to pass through, and there is only one person who can open the laboratory without application.

That is their leader, the Great Elder Sequoia.

[What are you doing? ! Madara Qunson, why are you doing this! ? ]

[Eternal Life]

[Are you crazy? ! This is not immortality at all, you just turn yourself into an echo, even if you can really burn your soul into the psionic network attached to the brain and become a mirror...you also become a collection of wills attached to the brain, not You now! ]

[I don't care]

[What... what? ]

[I said, I don't care]

——I don't care if I'm human or not, I don't care if this violates morality, I don't care if this will destroy the ecological balance of Sequoia Base.

——I don't care about you, and I don't care about myself.

——Life, soul, memory, ego, these things are all shit, they are all rubbish, they will only produce despair and pain, can the hive network carry the complete me? Ridiculous, so what? It's only you bored fools who bother with such minutiae, and it's no wonder you're still enjoying yourself in this catacomb.

——I can't see it, it's a pity, but at least that new life can leave here with an immortal body and an immortal soul.

—And then, go see the stars.

The white cocoon of flesh and blood wrapped in fluorescent crystal clusters and living metal is beating, as if it wants to stretch out its hand, cross the ruins in the deepest part of the ground, cross the layers of rock formations and the churning sea.

It wants to reach out and touch, touch the real wind, touch the clouds in the sky.

To touch the stars above the clouds, above the sky.

This is its wish, and that of the man who created it, and even of all those who have been a part of it.

Although they didn't say it, even though they didn't really think about it, those who said 'don't want to leave the base' have the most sincere wish in their hearts.

——Even apes look up at the stars, let alone humans?

Intense emotions, whether it was despair or enlightenment, impacted Yin En's heart.

Is that a frank statement, or an angry rant? Unbeknownst to him, the phantoms of the past swept across his mind, bringing about violent emotional shocks.

It also resonates with teenagers from the bottom of their hearts.

[We are the same...we are the same...]

A voice sounded, with sincere emotions: [We all yearn for the distance, longing to see things that we can't see every day...]

[The ruins are a cage, lifespan is a cage, morality is a cage, the body is also a cage, isn’t the sky also a cage? ]

[We want to break free from the cage, break the shackles... We are the same... I can know that you are also the same as me...]

The invisible will of the hive stretched out its psychic energy and tentacles of flesh and blood, rushing towards Yin En who was standing where he was, as if embracing him.

From those chopped flesh and blood figures, there are silk structures like nerves and blood vessels extending out, with a spore-like texture, wanting to climb on the boy's face.

[Let us unite... we will be one, one immortal...]

[Let us break free from the cage together...]

But these tentacle spores were cut off by a long sword with no front.

Yin En held his sword silently, he was obviously still immersed in the mental shock created by the will of the hive - it was a very special psionic skill, activated by empathy and resonance, as long as there was a thought If there is a slight similarity, it will gradually start to erode as .asxs.

No, not erosion, not parasitism.

Contribute instead.

The hive will share everything with Yin En, it is not an attack, there is no hostility, as long as they have the same mood, have the same resonance, they are one, they are one will... If Yin En If his spirit is strong enough to eliminate the influence of other soul fragments, he can become a hive.

Become a true hive mind.

But he still raised his sword, and the light golden sword light cut off all these tentacles and the beginning of a path of destiny.

"Ahem..."

The young man raised his head, panting in embarrassment, staring at the giant white cocoon in front of him, coughing out a **** breath.

There, a huge brain is silently lamenting, it can't figure out why, the life in front of it is so similar to it, they have the same dream, have the same desire, it even feels ashamed, because the life in front of it The madness in the soul of young people can even surpass its persistence that lasts for thousands of years.

So, why?

The answer is actually very simple.

"We do have similarities, but we are not the same."

The eyes are like stars, Yin En's body is surrounded by azure-gold source quality halo, there is no anger, no sympathy, no mockery in his eyes, only a faint trace of compassion.

The young man solemnly raised his sword, and the inscriptions on Chongyuan Iron Sword lit up one by one, and the light golden light shone uniquely under the silver-blue-green radiant light.

Yin En took a deep breath, as if communicating with the hive in front of him, and as if talking to himself.

He said: "Because I know the truth, I know what the future looks like, and I am the one who lives in the 'future'."

He said: "In the world thousands of years later, human beings are still repeating boring wars, repeating the cycle under the sun, and never getting tired of it."

He said: "I am not longing. I am a firm believer. I am not trying to touch the stars, I have to find the stars."

He said: "The will of the hive, no matter who you are, whose fragments or new life-whether you believe it or not, I don't care, I will tell you."

"There are no stars outside."

"Our world is surrounded by the **** of the prison star, the sky is pitch black, there is no guidance, no heaven and distance, no glory worth exciting, the starry sky you imagined did not exist from the very beginning. "

——I know this, and you don't, you just imagine.

——You may be confused, you may be at a loss.

——And I have decided, made up my mind, to still move forward, still to climb.

So saying, Yin En laughed instead, he showed a heartfelt, very happy, but enough to be called a crazy smile: "But so what? I don't care about these things. There are some cosmic monsters or subspace natural disasters outside it, only a boring idiot will care about these details."

"I will definitely find the truth and go to the sky."

"This is what makes us different."
