Chapter 654: A Shocking Discovery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After defeating the base’s guards, Jiang Fei very quickly arrived at the core location at the underground base.

As the design of the base was very compact, there were rooms everywhere. Therefore, Jiang Fei kept his Energy Cannon which was not flexible enough. He then withdrew the Chengying Sword from behind him.

“Zoom...”

Occasionally, there were some guards firing at Jiang Fei with their laser guns. However, they were all killed in an instant by Jiang Fei’s sword.

According to 0541’s scan, Jiang Fei did not take any wrong paths. He was headed directly for the special experimental center.

“Bang!” Jiang Fei kicked with his legs, triggering his fire-based Origin Force and immediately breaking the experimental center’s door into pieces.

“Who are you exactly?” Before Jiang Fei had even opened his mouth, the leader asked in a straightforward manner. As Jiang Fei had destroyed the lift, there was no way they could escape. They were all trapped by Jiang Fei in the experimental laboratory.

“Hehe, I have not even asked who you people are.” Jiang Fei laughed coldly. Moreover, Jiang Fei was still upset because these people had stabbed him on his back. They actually had the guts to ask who he was.

However, these researchers had no idea who Jiang Fei was. They would not have thought that the person they were experimenting with in the game a few hours ago had travelled thousands of miles in search of them.

“You must be from the Zhang family. I can’t believe the Zhang family had conspired with you weird people!” The leader said angrily as he pointed his finger at Jiang Fei.

As Jiang Fei had used the Energy Cannon in the beginning, the leader naturally associated him with the Zhang family. The weird people he mentioned were clearly directed at the metahumans.

“Why do you care who I am? I am asking you, why did you stab me in the back?” Jiang Fei asked.

“Hehe, you don’t have to twist your words. Didn’t you come here today thinking that us normal human beings who can’t do anything to you weird people? Hmph! Let me show you the power of technology!” The leader laughed coldly. He had already made up his mind about who Jiang Fei was. Therefore, he did not care to explain any further as he pressed a hidden button beneath a table.

“Buzz!” A shapeless waveform started spreading throughout the place.

“Alert! Level 3 Spirit Attack!” 0541’s warning immediately sounded in Jiang Fei’s head. At the same time, an invisible protective shield appeared next to Jiang Fei.

“Ahh...”

“Ahh... How...”

...

Although Jiang Fei was protected by 0541, the other researchers were exposed to the non-discriminatory attack. Their faces began to twitch as blood started spilling out from their eyes, ears, and noses.

“Haha... So what if you weird people have special talents? You still have to die like the rest of us normal human beings!” Although the leader was already bleeding severely, he still laughed crazily.

“Alert! Spirit Attack has become stronger. It is currently at Level 4!”

Following 0541’s alert, the protective shield on Jiang Fei became even thicker.

“Ahh...”

“Let me die...”

...

Some of the technicians were struggling greatly. Some of them even scratched at their faces with their fingernails. However, their suffering ended very soon as the strong Spirit Attack caused them to lose their consciousness. They were dead within a few seconds.

“Darned weirdo, you are actually still fine! However, you will die with us in the end! The Zhang family behind you can’t do anything to help you...” The leader pressed another button as he fell to the ground.

“Activating self-destruct program. The base will be detonated in five minutes. All members, please evacuate immediately!” A mechanic warning was heard in the experimental laboratory.

“0541. Take over the experimental laboratory! Cancel the self-destruct program!” As Jiang Fei did not have any effective way of healing from Spirit Attacks, he could not save these people. However, he could not allow the base to be destroyed. He needed to find out who was the person behind the plot against him.

After approximately one minute, the Spirit Attack ended. However, apart from Jiang Fei, nobody else in a five-mile radius of the underground base survived.

After two minutes, 0541 completely took over the underground base and had also deactivated the self-destruct program.

“0541, go through the information. I want to know who’s behind this!” Although everyone in the base had died, Jiang Fei was still angry. It did not matter if these people died or not. He only wanted to find out who the person who ordered them was. Jiang Fei wanted to find the true culprit behind the scene.

“Yes, captain!” 0541 answered.

After about half an hour, 0541 had thoroughly examined all of the information storages in the base.

“Captain, I have figured everything out. However, the results are slightly surprising!” 0541 said.

“Why is that?” Jiang Fei asked.

“This base belongs to the military!” 0541 answered.

“What? The military wants to harm me?” Jiang Fei was stunned. He had never dealt with the military. There was no reason for them to harm him.

“The military did not want to harm you. This may have been an accident...” 0541 then explained its findings to Jiang Fei from going through the experimental laboratory’s records.

The entire ‘Dawnlight’ game had been developed with the help of the government and the military. The gaming company had been a cover for what went on behind the scenes. The purpose of the ‘Dawnlight’ game was to carry out research on how to create battle robots with autonomous capabilities.

Metahumans were more powerful than normal human beings and even ranked above the government. This was something unacceptable for a country’s government. However, as individuals, metahumans were too powerful. Normal weapons did not threaten them at all. Even heavy arms could not defeat them. If the metahumans wanted to assassinate a superior in the government, they could do so with ease and unpredictability.

Therefore, in order to fight against these metahumans, some researchers came up with the ‘Supreme Android Soldiers Project’. As Han Tianyu’s Manda Group held some of Planet Namek’s technology, they were fully capable of creating robots with strength and attack power as powerful as metahumans. However, as these robots moved with limited agility and had little autonomous capabilities, their battle power could not compare to metahumans at all.

It just so happened that the document on man-made souls had been deciphered. Hence, the experiment to use man-made souls to control the Androids had been affirmed. ‘Dawnlight’ was an important part of the experiment.

The mutants and the major rice-exporting country treated the Japanese’s Bio-Technology with the utmost importance in the fight against Tokyo. However, China did not seem to exhibit any strong sign of interest. In fact, after the mutants turned their backs on China, China merely confronted them with a few words and did nothing further.

The main reason why that happened was because China had acquired a completely different technology that was not any weaker than the Bio-Human technology. Moreover, once their man-made soul experiment proved successful, China’s Androids would be no less weaker than the Bio-Humans. In fact, it would cost even less to produce these Androids, thus giving a more effective rate of productivity. Hence, China’s superiors were hardly interested in the Japanese’s Bio-Technology. They did not care if the major rice-exporting country wanted to take over the technology for themselves.
