Chapter 16: "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean." In the end, Xiang Nanli found the key clipped to the corpse's waistband. He gave it a couple of tugs, but it wouldn't budge. Left with no choice, he began figuring out how to unbuckle the man's belt. "This is the first time I've ever undressed someone. How does that saying go? If you can't take responsibility for them, don't undo their waistband." He offered his sincere apologies to the corpse. "Sorry, buddy. I'll take responsibility for…-

Chapter 17: Behind the door... what kind of beautiful... The Lurker held the antibiotics under its tongue without swallowing. It knew what antibiotics were, and since it wasn't injured, it had no use for them. Snatching them away wasn't necessarily because it wanted them; it was mostly to give Xiang Nanli a little shock, a small reminder of what a mutant can do. It crawled along the wall, moving like a shadow. Even though its body was a grayish-white, it made people subconsciously overlook its…

Chapter 20: Perfectionism Kills The vision Xiang Nanli had seen in the unknown researcher’s notebook had, in this moment, become a horrific reality. The Mechanical Crawler was an aberrated creature subjected to mechanical augmentation. Two distinct systems were running in tandem within its body: it possessed the raw physical strength and regenerative capabilities of a Mutant, paired with the overwhelming firepower of advanced black-tech weaponry. Its surface was coated in a layer of silvery-white…

Chapter 18: "Dongfang Qingdi was meant to be my body..." When Xiang Nanli saw so many gun barrels aimed at his forehead, his first reaction was to fold. He raised his hands, signaling that he had no weapons and was harmless. The heavy gate rose slowly to its highest point. Rows of robots stood within, possessing highly anthropomorphic structures. Their metallic bodies had no artificial skin, allowing one to see the mechanics at every joint. Their cores spun at high speeds, and the electrical conduits…

Chapter 19: To the Ends of the Earth, Until Death. Xiang Nanli was dazed for a moment: "That's it?" Of course, the "Main Control AI of Donghuang Heavy Industry" sounded impressive, but it was far from the answer he had imagined. It was, however, much more plausible than it being Alpha. Xiang Nanli could not hide his disappointment, and he conveyed this emotion quite clearly to the system. The system generated a bunch of junk data and crashed for a second. It then interrogated him: "What do you…

Chapter 21: We Will Meet Again That final word, "atonement," was actually Xiang Nanli's true thought. He believed he hadn't raised Alpha well, and that the AI Crisis was partly his responsibility. Granted, not by much—even though it was something that happened after Xiang Nanli's death. Logically speaking, Xiang Nanli's emotions came from the bottom of his heart, so this scene should have been somewhat touching. However, the unromantic system spoke up at this moment to ask: Xiang Nanli…

Chapter 22: Charged for 600 Years, Used for 3 Minutes That single word, "Here," felt exceptionally reliable. It was the voice of an adult man. Even though he had only uttered a single word, it was remarkably pleasing to the ear, like a brief chord struck on a stringed instrument. Held face-to-face in his embrace, Xiang Nanli's brain hadn't even fully registered what was happening before his hands reflexively went into action, groping around the body in front of him. From this, it was evident…

Chapter 14: "You’re Only Telling Me This Now...?" Xiang Nanli, with the flashlight clamped between his teeth, walked through the transmission conduit, which resembled a giant water pipe. He asked: "Alpha, do I look like Mario the plumber to you?" "Alpha, do you know who Mario is?" "Alpha, everyone has a built-in AI nowadays; is this considered a 'companion beast' like in those fantasy novels? Are these AIs newly produced, or are they inherited from dead people? Do you AIs have levels? Did I…

Chapter 15: The Lurker Xiang Nanli’s head poked out from the conduit vent, looking remarkably like that irritating mole from a Whack-A-Mole game. He was dangling upside-down from the ceiling, looking down at the floor, which featured a conveyor belt that resembled an airport baggage carousel, hanging three or four meters below him. The belt was stalled, its tracks littered with debris. Thanks to the genetic serum, Xiang Nanli’s otherwise frail body could handle this kind of prolonged, upside-down…

Chapter 23: ...There is No Utopia Out There "Information group in position." "Security group in position." "Medical group preparing." …… …… This barren zone where the abandoned Donghuang Heavy Industry factory was located had likely never been this lively since its construction. Aircraft were rarely used on the Surface. Because they were easily detected by satellites, any flight risked immediate interception and destruction by the Omnic Legion's rogue drones. Seven hundred…
