Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 896 Room 3

The sharp blade of the nano-humanoid, wrapped in a dazzling blue light, rubbed Lin Ye's throat. He could even clearly feel the slight stinging pain when the metal molecules cut through the surface of his skin. Abdul's shotgun exploded with a roar, and the recoil shook the burly man back three steps. The silver particles disintegrated like boiling mercury, but reassembled in mid-air. The surface of the nano-humanoid's body was covered with ripples unique to liquid metal. The bullet was instantly assimilated after being embedded in it, and became a part of its body. Lin Ye's temples were throbbing. He grabbed the metal box and turned around to run. The cold sweat on his back had already soaked his clothes. The metal floor of the laboratory groaned under the trampling of the nano-cluster. The emergency lights on the wall flickered, twisting and breaking his shadow. Amid the buzzing alarm, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of gears biting behind him - the nano-humanoid's arm was twisting and extending at an unreasonable angle, grabbing towards the back of his neck. At this moment, the display screen on the wall suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light. Lin Ye was forced to stop, his pupils contracting violently in the strong light. The scene from three years ago jumped onto the screen: his father Lin Zhengguo was wearing a white lab coat, his eyes behind the lenses focused on the microscope, the morning light shone through the dome of the laboratory onto his shoulders, outlining a familiar outline. Lin Ye's breathing stagnated. In his memory, his father was always like this, so focused that it seemed as if the whole world was only the experiment in front of him. However, the picture suddenly shook violently, and the nanoclusters in the culture dish were like awakened monsters, and the glass emitted spider-web-like cracks under their pressure. Lin Zhengguo raised his head suddenly, the shock and fear on his face were clearly visible, and he shouted at the camera at the top of his lungs: "They have developed group consciousness! Start the destruction program!" Then, the picture was replaced by the harsh sound of electricity and snowflake noise. "Wait..." Lin Ye's fingers trembled as he pressed the pause button, his eyes fixed on the lower left corner of the picture. There, a figure wearing sunglasses and a dark headscarf flashed by. Although his face was covered by shadows, the man raised his hand to adjust his sunglasses, just like Abdul who was fighting with the nano-humanoid at the moment. "You already knew the situation here!" Lin Ye turned around, the metal box was incredibly hot in his palm, and the blue light seeping from the gap of the box lid drew a strange arc in the dim laboratory. Abdul's headscarf had slipped off at some point, revealing the hideous traces of chip implantation on his neck. The silver line was like a parasitic centipede, winding into the collar. Abdul's expression instantly changed from a focused combat state to a cold one. He slowly raised his gun, aiming the dark muzzle at Lin Ye's brow: "Dr. Lin, your insight is truly admirable. Unfortunately, people who know too much don't live long. The secrets of the 'Hive' plan cannot be taken out." Before he finished speaking, the nano-dolls suddenly emitted a high-frequency scream, and the sound waves vibrated back and forth in the confined space, causing Lin Ye's eardrums to hurt. Silver particles swept in like a tsunami, and wherever they passed, the metal walls twisted and deformed like wax blocks melted by high temperatures. Abdul cursed and rolled sideways. His shotgun fired continuously, but it could only temporarily disperse the nano-cluster, which regrouped in the blink of an eye. Lin Ye took the opportunity to rush to the core area of ​​the laboratory, his feet slipping on the ground covered with broken glass and metal debris. In the glass containers on both sides of the corridor, there are all kinds of creepy experimental subjects: the mutant scorpions are half a person tall, and the tail stings flash deadly lasers; the scales of the sand snakes flow with strange rainbow luster under the light, and every swing can reflect distorted human figures; even worse, there are several vultures that have integrated nanomachines, with metal wings connected to their bloody bodies, staring at him with red eyes. The metal box in his arms is so hot that it almost burns his skin. Lin Ye gritted his teeth and opened it. Inside the box lies a memory chip and a yellowed photo. In the photo, the young father stands in front of the honeycomb laboratory with a confident smile on his face, and a group of scientific researchers in white coats stand beside him. When Lin Ye's eyes fell on the man wearing sunglasses on the right side of the photo, his heart almost stopped beating - Abdul took off his sunglasses and looked at the camera with hawk-like eyes. The moment the memory chip was inserted into the portable terminal, a holographic image emerged in the air. The father's figure was a little blurry, and his face was full of fatigue and anxiety: "Xiao Lin, if you see this video, it means that I have failed. The loss of control of the nano cluster is not an accident, but a man-made one. There is a multinational organization behind the 'Hive' project, and they want to use nanorobots to control global resources. Remember, the key to destroying the central controller is..." The image suddenly flickered violently, and the terminal issued a harsh overload warning. Lin Ye's wrist was burned by the blue light, but he was unaware of it. His eyes were fixed on the holographic projection behind his father in the picture - it was a complex honeycomb structure diagram with a striking red mark in the center. The violent vibration came without warning, and the metal plates on the ceiling fell like pieces of paper. Lin Ye stumbled forward in the rain of gravel, and suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle. Looking down, the giant python composed of nano clusters was tightly wrapped around his calf, and the metal scales pierced deeply into the skin, causing a burning pain in the wound, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh. At the critical moment, the alloy door in front of him, which was engraved with mysterious symbols, opened automatically. The dark matter energy field gushing out from inside was like an invisible barrier, instantly dispersing the nano python. Lin Ye dragged his injured leg into the sealed cabin, and the cabin door slammed shut behind him, making a muffled sound of air pressure sealing. The light in the cabin was dim and cold, and in the freezer lay a person with tubes and wires all over his body. Lin Ye's breathing stagnated, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably - that was his father. Although his face was as pale as paper and his body was wrapped in various medical equipment, his facial features were still familiar in his memory. On the display screen of the freezer maintenance system, the vital signs curve had turned into a straight line three days ago. Lin Ye rushed to the freezer, put his hands on the cold glass, and a suppressed sob came from his throat. On the message board on the side of the cabin, a final warning was written in blood: "The core of the nano-devourer is the living human brain!" The handwriting was crooked, and some parts were blurred due to blood coagulation, but each word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Ye's heart hard. Suddenly, the alarm of the sealed cabin sounded loudly, and the red warning light flashed wildly. Lin Ye looked back and through the observation window, he saw Abdul approaching the sealed cabin with a group of mechanical soldiers composed of nano-clusters. Abdul had a grim smile on his face. He raised the controller in his hand and shook it at Lin Ye: "Dr. Lin, do you think you are safe hiding here?
