Chapter 35: The Lord of the Cult
This group of failed experiments did not have strong combat capabilities. Those who survived after being fired by submachine guns were just struggling. Soon we "surpassed" them and continued to move forward.
After the laboratory is the living area, which is separated by a door. We went in and walked around. There were only a few frightened scientific researchers inside. I caught one and asked, "Where is Huang Chaojie?"
The man was trembling with fear: "I don't know, I really don't know, please forgive me!"
"What about your leader?"
The man immediately said: "At the end of the third area... you are not allowed to go in there."
I left him and my companions immediately turned back and ran towards Area 3. No gun-wielding guards or zombie monsters appeared along the way, which further confirmed my conjecture that there were not many zombies.
The person who shot the gun may be a veteran invited by the Xuanming Sect, or a foreign mercenary...
It suddenly occurred to me that things might be more complicated than I thought. The Xuanming Sect might have cooperated with the Americans. These advanced instruments and firearms might have been provided by the Americans. Wasn't there a foreign researcher just now? Their purpose is obvious.
The use of rigid technology in the military will completely change the entire world. This is exactly the plan to strengthen the military that Americans have been pursuing in science fiction movies.
Is Huang Chaojie doing things for the Americans? Originally, I didn’t have a deep dislike for him. Some enemies are also worthy of respect, but if he was doing things for the Americans, the nature would be different!
There was an aluminum alloy door at the end of the passage, with words and signs saying no entry. We pushed the door nervously and went in. Behind the door was a relatively primitive cave that had not been decorated, but the ground was still paved with flat cement, and the top was
There are also lights, the stone walls are clean, and the yin energy here is even stronger.
There was a side door not far away. I opened the door carefully and looked inside. Inside was a large cave with many pools. Some corpses were soaking in the pools, while others were wrapped like mummies and placed there. There were two of them.
It was a zombie with black fur and talismans on its body. It seems that the Xuanming Sect has not completely given up on tradition. It is also making zombies while studying cyborgs.
Further on, I saw several similar caves. In one of the caves, there were more than a dozen strong men without clothes neatly placed. Their bodies were stiff and their heartbeats were weak. They were in a deep coma. This cave was not only full of yin energy.
, and modern refrigeration equipment, the temperature should be more than ten degrees below zero or even dozens of degrees, which may be an important process for creating live zombies.
What we were looking for was an important figure in the Xuanming Sect, so we quickly took a quick look around and left. After walking a few dozen meters further, there was another cave. The door was not closed, and bright lights shone out from inside.
"There is a living person inside...it's Huang Chaojie!" Xiaoxue reported in time
I "saw" that it looked like an office inside. There was a person leaning leisurely on a big chair, with steaming tea on the exquisite mahogany table in front of him. There were two people standing in the corner behind him.
The aura is very strange. It has the characteristics of being alive and dead, but also has the fluctuations of the true energy of a monk, which is the same as Cang Wu's feminine true energy.
I felt that Xiaoxue was a little uneasy, and then I felt that Jin Daqi was very angry. These two were obviously Taoist priests of the Xuanming Sect.
"Don't act rashly!" I gave Jin Daqi a very strong mental command. Although it was not the ghost I raised, I avenged it, and he was Ling Fengpiao's senior brother. Jin Daqi still listened to my words.
He usually calls me boss.
I signaled the three of them not to be impulsive, and I walked forward to the door first. Huang Chaojie laughed: "You are here. I didn't treat you to a big dinner, but you actually came to the door by yourself. How interesting!"
I saw a very fashionable portable safe next to him. It was obvious that he was preparing to run away. If I had come half an hour later, he might not be here. The people standing in the corners on both sides were also wearing work clothes.
He was in his forties or fifties, looking straight ahead with a straight face without any expression, like two statues.
I sneered slightly: "Brother Huang, are you going to take a plane or a boat? Please tell us early and let us give you a ride."
Huang Chaojie sighed: "As a friend, I really don't want to kill you, but you have repeatedly threatened my life."
"I'm afraid you've threatened other people's lives, right?"
Huang Chaojie picked up the tea cup and blew it lightly, but did not drink it. He said: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not adhered to trivial details, and others must pay some price for them. I want to ask which emperor who founded a country in the past has not stepped on tens of thousands of corpses under his feet? I just use
I paid less than one ten thousandth of their price, but I found the secret that allows humans to live forever. What's wrong with that?"
Ling Fengpiao couldn't help but ask: "Are the immortality you are talking about those activated zombies?"
"No, that's just the initial stage, they are just experimental subjects. After success, they will have everything that ordinary people should have, and they will have strong bodies, can not grow old and sick, and their speed, strength, resistance, and endurance will be higher than normal
People are more than ten times stronger. This is the body that humans should really have. After widespread use, everyone will be a legendary god, immortal and carefree. Zhang Xuanming, I know you are about to die, and only I can save you.
You, and you are eternal!”
I felt funny in my heart, but I remained calm on the outside: "So you succeeded?"
Huang Chaojie sighed: "It's just a little bit closer. If you don't bother me, I believe I can succeed in a short time. Even now, I have a way to keep you from aging. It won't take long for me to be completely
success."
Lin Mei, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei all looked at me expectantly. They all did not have a strong sense of right and wrong. My life and death were more important than anything else.
I asked calmly: "Are you ready to convince me to join you?"
"Yes!" Huang Chaojie nodded firmly, "I know most of what happened to you, I am very interested in you, and I felt very attached to you when I met you, so I saved you. The village near Changsheng Temple is not
A subordinate of the Xuanming Sect, but a person who was trained a long time ago
It is said that the Zhengdao sect was set up to supervise the Xuanming Sect, but until now they have almost forgotten their mission, and most of the inheritance has been interrupted. Their old and bad habits have killed many people, if not for that day I happened to
You two are also dead here."
So that’s it, I asked: “What is your identity in the Xuanming Sect?”
Huang Chaojie hesitated for a moment: "My real name is Huang Chaojie, the calamity of calamity, which means transcending life and escaping the disaster of life and death. Xuanming means immortality. The Xuanming Sect has been looking for the secret of eternal life, but it has never been found.
Substantial breakthroughs, until Taoist Dongxu became a miracle. But for hundreds of years, they still couldn't make substantive breakthroughs, until they trained me to study in the United States, and when I came back, I
I came to lead the research and made a key breakthrough. There were not many people left in the Xuanming Sect. They saw hope in me and called me their leader. However, some people headed by Cang Wu insisted on following the traditional method of refining.
Use the corpse method and look for treasures that can gather Yin energy everywhere. I didn't know when they killed your master, so I didn't stop you when you wanted to seek revenge from him. I didn't want to steal your jade talisman, I didn't need it at all.
"
So I don't have any sworn hatred with Huang Chaojie. All my efforts are to survive. Now the hope is in front of me. If I gain eternal life, I can be with Xiaoxue forever. It's better than finding eight jade talismans and returning home.
It was more ideal in the past. But can eternal life really appear to ordinary people? Do gods and Buddhas allow all mortals to live forever?
Huang Chaojie saw my intention and suspicion and smiled: "My research is indeed not perfect. There is currently an insurmountable problem, which is that after evolution, the reproductive capacity will be lost. But this is not a big problem.
You can wait until you have given birth to a child before evolving. At present, ordinary people cannot evolve normally.
Transformation, but people with profound internal strength cultivation can already do it. The two people behind me are the latest research results. The softness and hardness of muscles can be controlled at will, and the intelligence is not affected. They just don't like to joke a little. Gods are also pure in heart.
Those who are ascetic cannot have children, so this cannot be considered a failure."
The middle-aged man on the left rolled his eyes and showed an unnatural smile: "Pindao... hello, my name is Cang Tiantian."
The middle-aged man on the right also forced a smile and nodded: "My name is Cang Tianming. Nice to meet you."
It seems that these two people do have high intelligence and can control their muscles freely, but their mentality must have changed a lot. I thought of zombies covered in hair and smelly, and of zombies who turned into killing machines. At best, they were like this.
The two of them are just a little more advanced, are they really still human? Every living person has thoughts, loves, hates, obsessions and anger that cannot be copied. If these become indifferent, if I become dispensable to Lin Mei and Xiaoxue,
, am I still alive? What’s the point of living?
I can't believe Huang Chaojie. His level of deception is too high. The more true he says, the more likely it is to be false. If Cang Tiantian and Cang Tianming are already gods, why do they still obey him?
If he was really confident in persuading me, why did he prepare to escape? If he really succeeded, he could have discussed it with me face to face, so why would he send people to kill me again and again?
I asked calmly: "What is the cost of your cooperation with the Americans?"
Huang Chaojie hesitated for a moment: "They provide funds, instruments and some cutting-edge science, and I give them part of the research results. Of course I will not give them the real research results, but just give them some immature methods to strengthen their physical fitness. They don't
May control me."
I asked: "How many jade charms do you have in your hand? Where are they now?"
Huang Chaojie's smile froze, followed by disappointment and anger, and he slammed the tea cup on the table. With a "boom", a huge circular iron pipe suddenly rose from the ground, leading straight from the ground to the top of the stone wall, taking him with him.
The chairs are covered, and the portable safe is also inside.
I have been trying to prevent him from using a trap to harm us, but unexpectedly he covered himself.
