Chapter 71 071. Newborn
Li Ozi sneered: "What about the baby eaters?"
"The code name for this body is Baby Eater."
The professor spread his hands:
"Don't you think it's cool? As a science and engineering girl, this is really cool. It completely fits my imagination of a future where flesh and blood are intertwined beyond this mechanically transformed world."
"For a small price, you can get a body that is superior to decades of hard training in martial arts."
"Technology, with fun."
Li Ozi sneered coldly:
"The price is those children?"
"Someone has to devote himself to science. Compared with adults who require compulsory education and consume a lot of resources and time, it is obviously more cost-effective to use babies directly."
The professor talked eloquently:
"Without the restraints of morality and law, time will become very fast - and in the outside world, there is neither law nor morality."
"Fuck you, you are a bitch! These studies of yours are completely based on the bones of babies! But the results of your research are used on people from the four countries!"
Li Aozi clenched his fists and cursed:
"Fuck you, you idiot! The people in the outside world have suffered tremendously. They have nothing left, but you are taking away their children - the continuation of life and hope! What kind of humanity is this!"
The professor glanced at him unexpectedly.
"It's strange," she said: "When I first saw you, I thought you were just like me."
"What?"
"I can see the same shadow in you as me."
Professor Youyou said:
"We worship power, reason, and science. We also respect the principle of profit supremacy, we do whatever it takes to realize our wishes, we don't care about our own lives, and we have the spirit of dedicating ourselves to our ideals..."
She opened her arms and opened her bloody mouth. The sharp teeth were as sharp as knives and made people feel numb. A gentle confession flowed from them:
"You know? Mr. Li Ozi, I like you very much."
She raised her claws with nostalgia, and memories of her past life appeared in her four eyes:
"When I was young, I also hoped to use my knowledge and strength to do something for the country and do something for mankind."
"I kept studying, getting degree after degree, and completing hundreds of papers, but I soon discovered something."
"The special medicine I developed has become a tool for pharmaceutical groups to make money. Countless patients have lost their money and cannot use it."
"I discovered one thing - no matter what kind of technology I develop, it will eventually be used in war."
"How sad that no matter how much I want to benefit society, I end up helping government bureaucrats use it to kill people."
Li Ozi's face was expressionless.
Arwen and Nimotin felt a little ashamed when they heard this.
——After all, they are the governments the professor calls them.
It seems that it is precisely because of the government's problems that a passionate scientist turned into an evil and ruthless maniac who annihilated conscience.
The professor paused and chuckled:
"So, I decided to study military weapons directly."
"——Huh?"
Li Ozi almost didn't react.
"This time I have saved myself decades of detours."
The professor sighed:
"The orders from the military are increasing, and my funds are increasing. Finally, I don't have to worry about being stuck, and I can study my hobbies freely."
"Once I taste this kind of freedom, I don't want to let it go - so I came to the outside world and established the Underworld Humanity."
"Lee Aozi, you understand, right? I am not controlled by others, I can fly freely, I am not restricted by laws and morals, I can draw materials and research without restraint, and squeeze out all the value - just like this, my strength is unknowingly, It’s the Beta stage.”
"...beast."
Even as a player, Li Ozi couldn't help but curse:
"Things that have no bottom line, you are worse than a beast!"
"Is the bottom line useful? Isn't a scientist like me who openly admits his selfish desires more attractive than those old ladies who bend the law for personal gain in the name of the law? The so-called bottom line is just a narrative used to deceive civilians. .”
The professor showed no reaction:
"Over the long years, I have come to understand one thing: the only things that history will not remember are the losers and the mediocre."
"No matter how much I experiment without a bottom line, my scientific and technological achievements are here. It is precisely because I have no bottom line that I have led the progress and innovation of science!"
"Instead of calling me a beast - why don't you call me the newborn dawn?"
No guilt, no shame, no pressure.
[Calm down, Li Ozi, you have to calm down...]
The professor's natural words fell into Li Aozi's heart, making him increasingly unable to calm down.
[I should put interests first, now is not a good time for confrontation, you are just a scumbag, just leave it alone...]
The professor's eloquent talk gradually became blurred, and his mind seemed to have a high fever, constantly stranded in lucidity and chaos.
[It’s not worth fighting with her. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to kill her in the future. 】
The frost and snow became more intense, drifting into Li Ozi's eyes along with the ashes.
"Lee Ozi, stay calm."
Zonia was trampled on randomly
Snow was brutally experimented on as a baby
Boys and girls who were transformed into weapons at a young age were killing people mercilessly in the outside world, helping warlords and gangs to loot more people...
Those scenes kept flashing back in front of Li Ozi's eyes, and his eyes kept flashing with a blue light.
——Zheng!
A sharp sword full of the stench of money and copper seemed to be stabbing at him, and Li Ozi's whole body was covered with chills.
He took a closer look and saw that the outside world was still the same outside world.
He just vaguely caught a glimpse of a sharp sword blooming with dim starlight that was broken into pieces and eventually faded away.
——For a moment, his brain buzzed, as if a fragment was interspersed.
The irresistible force kicked him to the ground, and the sword pointed directly at his throat.
It was as if someone had snatched something from his arms.
Li Ozi tugged at the clothes on his chest. The professor's arrogant and arrogant attitude seemed particularly annoying to him.
Pat… Pat…
There was violent anger in the distant space, as if a storm was brewing.
"Oh, it seems that the Creator is not beautiful."
【...Creator? 】
Li Ozi murmured, the blue light in his eyes flickering rapidly.
The professor calculated that the time should be enough for that idiot Zhu Baiya to transfer the babies.
"It looks like the storm is coming, let's just leave it alone."
She glanced at Li Aozi and said affectionately:
"Li Ozi, you have to become better. Otherwise, how can you prove the superiority of level five infected people."
"You are better than my previous experimenters."
"Then, goodbye~"
[The storm is coming, and the baby-eaters have lost their will to fight]
[Breaking Event: "Baby Eaters" has been completed]
【Reward Settlement】：
[You gained 60,000 experience]
[You have gained a specialty - Jedi Counterattack: When your health is lower than 10%, your attack speed, output rate, and toughness will increase by 80%]
[Exclusive for mutants: In your next mutation, high-level rare options will definitely appear]
The mission is over.
All settlement requirements are met and the rewards are generous.
It's time to retreat.
However, when Li Ozi touched his heart and looked at the back of the baby eater who was at large, he didn't feel the slightest bit excited.
[I should feel happy and joyful. I got the expertise and avoided fighting... Players have always been a group that puts interests first and upholds pragmatism. 】
[Zhu Baiya has been seriously injured by me, the White Fang Gang has been destroyed, and Nimotin is not afraid. 】
[I also received the reward. Now my strength has improved, and there is no conflict of interest between me and the baby eater. 】
[Okay, after reaching this point, there is no need to continue fighting. Now is not the time to have a conflict with the professor. 】
[I don’t have the ability to kill her, and even finishing a last-ditch attack is extremely risky—I should go back and practice leveling. 】
【But...】
Li Ozi's pupils tightened, the blue light in his eyes grew brighter, and the sudden surge of emotion reached its peak in an instant.
[Why should she? ! Why can people who do these things survive? Not held accountable? 】
Regardless of whether this is a game or reality, letting this kind of beast go unpunished and trample on morality - Li Ozi can't do it.
His eyes were spread with an evil red color, and the extreme emotions violently impacted his brain. Hormones were secreted rapidly, numbing the soreness and pain in his body.
No one with sound mind and basic education would allow him to attack an incompetent baby.
If we just stay like this, how many more children will the baby-eaters attack?
The old Dimitri family, surrounding Cilic, although poor, also has hope.
For the harsh environment outside, children are hope.
At that moment, Li Ozi suddenly felt that the boundaries between the world and the game were gradually blurring.
At least in some respects, people are surprisingly consistent in their morals.
The baby eater turned around and was about to leave in a swaggering manner.
"Hey!"
Li Ozi's fists continued to be clenched.
"Hmm?"
The professor tilted his head, not even bothering to turn around and answer him.
Shu——
A supersonic stone instantly hit her feet, causing a cloud of dust.
"——Oh?"
Smoke and dust billowed, and the professor stopped unconsciously. She turned her head, her four eyes filled with confusion.
"You saved a life from me. I rarely pity others...you are an exception."
The professor said regretfully:
"Lee Ozi, are you sure you don't want to cherish it until next time? Maybe you will have the chance to kill me then?"
【mercy? 】
Li Ozi sneered.
[If you really want to be merciful, the ending of the mission "Not to Be Remembered" is not that the players are locked up and used as arcane batteries. 】
The baby eater spread her hands and turned around. The next moment, the pupils of her four eyes focused, and she clearly felt some strange fluctuations.
"Huh..."
Li Aozi exhaled a breath, his thoughts gradually clearing in the cold wind.
[Why are you thinking so much? Beasts are beasts. 】
He raised his hand, and gravity pulled up the chain, quickly wrapping around it like a black snake dancing wildly.
[No need to talk anymore, let’s light up the health bar. 】
The baby-eater's eyes focused.
A person who is not even an Alpha-level person stands in the cold wind, but there is a silent sense of oppression throughout his body.
"Hey...don't fucking do it next time."
Li Ozi squeezed the chain tightly, and the blue light in his eyes was wiped away, and his red and black eyes were filled with determination. The corners of his mouth cracked into a smile, and blood flowed down his cheeks, and he said lightly:
"I don't want your pity, I want your life!" (End of Chapter)
