Consequences of Compromise

After the praying mantis hunted cicadas and yellow sparrows, Du Kang had an idea for Luo Xuan early on, wanting to devour her enormous potential crystal nucleus, enhance his own strength, surpass militarism, and completely control the entire southeastern region.

At the same time, he also saw Tom's powerful physique comparable to that of the 12 sons of the Darwin Order, and planned to turn him into his exclusive skeletal giant, which would make his strength even stronger.

However, the people known as "remnants" took advantage of his plan, using Luo Xuan, who was trying to save his brother, to have Tom's incarnation Anubis directly invade the energy room of the Cross Mountain Base, forcing Du Kang to unleash his most powerful ability, "Descendants of Light.".

Chen Youyou and others caught Luo Xuan and assisted her with Wen Sitian. Chen Youyou couldn't wait to kill Wen Sitian and absorb her crystal nucleus. Unexpectedly, it was just a puppet double with sweet thoughts, and the swallowed crystal nucleus was actually an eroded crystal nucleus.

Just like delicious food that rots after being left for a long time, people will get sick if they eat it. After special processing, crystal nuclei can also corrode, and the nuclei of devoured individuals will be unconsciously corroded. With the remote release of a resonance signal by the operator, the corroded nuclei will undergo a crystal corrosion reaction.

Crystals condensed within living organisms not only contain crystal energy but also various harmful substances. These substances, when absorbed by the human body, can cause severe rejection reactions and even burn the brain. This is also the reason why miniature humans, after swallowing crystals without authorization, either become zombies with only desire or become cruel mutants.

In the Darwin Order, they carried out a complete set of human crystal technology modification surgeries, allowing the evolutionists to have crystal lungs that could filter out these harmful substances. However, once the eroded crystal nucleus is engulfed by the evolutionist, it skips the filtering step of the crystal lung and hides inside the crystal nucleus. Once it erupts, it will cause a crystal etching reaction on the evolutioner.

However, this type of crystal etching is not fatal for those who possess crystal lungs. The main significance is to damage the crystal nucleus of the poisoned person, and they can no longer use their abilities until the erosion in the body is completely eliminated.

Chen Youyou was Du Kang's secretary and also his lover. Yu Ni took advantage of their relationship and indirectly infected Du Kang with corruption through Chen Youyou, causing him to completely lose his combat effectiveness. At this moment, the remaining villains dared to run out and launch a counterattack against the Zetian Society, with the aim of taking over the mountain base in one fell swoop.

However, Du Kang was already prepared, although the purpose of the out of control Anubis was the powerful energy storage crystal in the energy room, and this was just a cover to divert Du Kang's attention. However, Du Kang simply made a mistake and opened the energy room, continuing to suffer. Initially, Anubis's goal was to devour the crystal of the energy room.

Anubis has no reason, only desire, the desire to devour crystal energy. On this basis, it also retained a little bit of Tom's ideas and followed Luo Xuan's instructions. However, when the top door of the energy room opened, facing the surging crystal energy radiation of the 7-level energy storage crystal in the room, Anubis had only one idea: to impact and eat it!

Realizing this, Wen Sitian's face changed drastically, causing Luo Xuan to quickly destroy Anubis's brain, otherwise she would have been unable to control it.

Faced with Wen Sitian's request, Luo Xuan quickly shook her head and said, "This is my brother!"

"Bang!" Anubis fell into the energy room like a bad wolf, and his brainless body could still receive the crystal energy radiation of level 7 energy storage crystals.

Wen Sitian emerged from the crow's body, completely naked. She hugged Luo Xuan and said, "Your brother is gone. This brain is his last bit of consciousness. Destroy it quickly so that Anubis can stop his movements. Once it releases the energy storage crystal, it will have a repulsive reaction with his body, causing a huge explosion!"

Luo Xuan's face was filled with tears, but she still stubbornly shook her head and said, "But he's still my brother! I can't!"

"Once it detonates, we including him and the people above will all die!"

Luo Xuan shook her head frantically, still constantly urging the crystal energy in her body to maintain the protective shield for the brain.

Wen Sitian looked up regretfully at her head and sighed.

It's easy to destroy the brain. If you knock out Luo Xuan, you'll lose your shield, and even the powerless Wen Sitian can do it. But she refused to take action, even if it was to save herself and Luo Xuan.

"The apocalypse of miniaturization has happened, and the whole world is in chaos." Wen Sitian hugged Luo Xuan and murmured, "We are all very tired. Since that's the case, let's end it together. It's just a pity that the TV drama I'm chasing hasn't finished. If you have the chance to see Yang Caishan, perhaps you can ask her Liu Ruyan from" Sword and Fairy "if she has found her mother in the end. But my annoying sister probably won't help me ask."

The head of the skeletal giant is the cockpit, and the bone base plate is used to receive the driver's mind control consciousness, achieve synchronization in the spiritual world, and thus control the massive body. But the absorption of mind control consciousness and the absorption of crystal energy are actually the same principle. Both are energy, but mind control consciousness is the energy of crystal energy mixed with personal consciousness.

So the absorption of crystal energy by the Bone Giant is actually through the cockpit, which is also the reason why Anubis bit the Bone Giant with his mouth and devoured the bone base when he lost control just now.

Although Anubis now has no head, it does not hinder its ability to absorb crystal energy. Its mouth is gone, and it still has a neck. Distributed around the neck of the body of the pathogen, there are also multiple tubes that can absorb crystal energy.

But seeing Anubis without his neck, he frantically rushed to the center of the computer room, facing the 30 centimeter high yellow energy storage crystal inside the glass box. It frantically tapped the tempered glass wall, wanting to touch the largest delicacy within reach.

A bony giant with a head blown out fell from the broken hole upstairs, and then an evolutionist flew down. As soon as he saw Anubis, he immediately shouted, "Wen Si Tian, block me to destroy the brain of the pathogen, don't let it come into contact with the energy storage crystal."

Wen Sitian still hugged Luo Xuan, and the two were immersed in sweet memories, completely ignoring each other's commands. As soon as the other party saw that it was not working, they immediately lifted their hands and fired a fierce electric cannon, targeting the crystal energy shield that protected their brain.

"You two foolish women, this base cannot be destroyed, otherwise all our 'Lu Xingyu' efforts will be in vain!" If Tom were there, he would definitely recognize this person, which is Qian Zhiqiang who injected him in the miscellaneous room.

At this moment, Luo Xuan was using his life to activate the Crystal Energy Shield. Qian Zhiqiang's strength was much weaker than Du Kang's, so he couldn't shake the Crystal Energy Shield. So he transferred the electric cannon and fired it at Wen Sitian and Luo Xuan.

Wen Sitian used her thoughts to command the crows behind her to spread their wings and protect them. However, wings without protective shields cannot withstand powerful electric guns. Feathers, blood, and a powerful electric current immediately spread numbly on the crow, knocking it flying away.

"So if you want to die, let's all die together!" Qian Zhiqiang burst out laughing and fired the electric cannon again. Now, Wen Sitian and the others had no resistance left.

But at this moment, two headless bone armor generals fell from the hole, waving huge bone fists and smashing them towards Qian Zhiqiang's forehead.

Qian Zhiqiang reacted quickly and immediately interrupted the electric light cannon to dodge. He recognized that the bodies of these two bone armor generals were the ones he had left behind when he came down just now. He immediately realized the truth behind them: "Xiao Jingtian, do you even want to be buried with them?"

The figure in a white coat fell from the air, revealing slender and graceful long legs under the hem of the skirt. She fell to the ground, unbuttoned her white hat, and her long hair slipped off her shoulders. Exquisite face, beautiful face, may not seem the most beautiful, but it is the most tempting.

If Tom were there, he could still recognize that this was his childhood sweetheart in the orphanage. The last time they reunited was at Zhang Meng's mutant camp, where she was the Black Widow of the leader's wife.

"I don't want you to hurt him!" Sweet girl said coldly.

"He's hopeless, but if Anubis comes into contact with the energy storage crystal, it will definitely trigger a repulsive explosion. At that time, everyone in this room will die, and Du Kang cannot resist. The entire mountain crossing base will also be destroyed!"

"Dong! Dong!" Anubis is still relentlessly pounding tempered glass. The tempered glass wall that preserves crystals is made of crystal material, which has a higher hardness, so it can withstand such a long period of violent hammering.

"You know it's possible, Wen Sitian also knows it, but neither of you wants to say it." Sweet girl looked at the tall skeletal giant with deep affection in her eyes, full of admiration. "We still have a chance, we can escape from here!"

"What?" The confused Luo Xuan suddenly woke up and heard Sweet Girl's words.

Wen Sitian and Qian Zhiqiang's faces changed greatly, but they both knew that it was too late to stop them now. Even if Xiao Jingtian was killed now, Luo Xuan no longer believed them.

Compared to Wen Sitian's decadence, Qian Zhiqiang's murderous heart grew stronger. "Since that's the case... then I can't let you destroy this mountain crossing base anymore. Our land fish hermit society needs a safe base so that we can save more people!"

Sweet girl laughed up and said, "Kill one person to save more people? No, you could have saved Tom, but let Du Kang make him look like he is now, and then take advantage of Luo Xuan to set up a trap for Du Kang to seize this base. What qualification do you have to say that you save the world?"

Luo Xuan was very angry upon hearing this, but Wen Sitian hugged her again and said, "Don't get excited. If you relax and remove the shield now, not to mention Qian Zhiqiang, I'm afraid I can't help but take action to destroy Tom's brain."

"So you just sit back and watch them turn your brother into a skeletal giant... right?"

Wen Sitian said with guilt, "I only know a little more than you do, but it's that Xiao Jingtian who knows more. When the hermit came to me, you were still searching for revenge on your brother all over the world, but I swear, I really didn't know they were planning to use me this way."

Qian Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head, "We could have saved him, but he gave up self rescue and chose to give the opportunity to Luo Xuan. Tom or Luo Xuan are both good for us, but we can't both fall in."

Tianniu waved her hand and the skeletal giant, whose head had just been destroyed by Qian Zhiqiang, slowly stood up. "But now... neither of you can be recruited, unless you help Luo Xuan save Tom. That way, he may still remember to help you for today's sake. As for the information about his parents, I understand him, and you can never expect to use this to blackmail him."

Qian Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, and at that moment, four more evolutionists jumped down from the cave entrance. "Elder Qian, we're here to help you!"
