Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 232 NO.00e7: Pegasus (Part 2)

Being interrupted by Jiang Zhou, Fanny finally realized that her previous mood was a little out of control. She straightened her white coat, then lowered her voice an octave and said:

"Let's go in now... Actually, I don't mean anything else when I say this. After knowing what they are fighting for, people will always be more motivated.

"I know that what you've been through before makes you feel sick about everything the company stands for...and honestly, you should feel the same way."

She sighed and continued:

"But apart from scumbags like Ye Qian, Prison D or Wutou-1. Within the company, there are still people who still maintain their conscience and are willing to fight hard to achieve something."

After saying that, she opened the door with the access card.

The door opened with a click. Behind the door of the office, those who were prisoners of the Icarus Liberation Front, including Black Falcon-136 and Chinatsu Sakura, were standing in a neat queue.

It was as if he had been waiting for them to come over for inspection.

Jiang Zhou was speechless for a moment.

"After the failure of the mission in the Nord Resettlement Area, in order to prevent leaks, the company originally planned to get rid of them all. But Ms. Christie, against all odds, saved them all."

Fanny opened her mouth to explain.

Jiang Zhou turned the wheelchair and looked at Fanny, and then said slowly:

"But why would they..."

Borrowing Jim's ability to "represent topological structure observations", Jiang Zhou was able to gain the ability to approximate mind reading. However, he couldn't see any signs on the people in front of him - it was as if they were just ten corpses standing neatly.

Among those ten people, except for Black Falcon-136, who had a "metal bottle cap eye" because of his owl-shaped tactical goggles, all the others were turning their eyeballs quickly and disorderly - Jiang Zhou Remember, rapid eye movements are characteristic of the "zombie" state.

In response, Fanny on the side nodded and said helplessly:

"Transform them all into 'zombie slaves'. This is the price for keeping them."

Before Jiang Zhou had an attack, a familiar voice stopped him.

"Hey, you bastard! Don't be nervous, we'll be fine."

That was Chinatsu Sakura's voice.

Jiang Zhou immediately turned around.

Chinatsu Sakura, who had been standing meticulously in a military posture before, her eyes twitching in her eye sockets, suddenly jumped out of the team - it was only at this moment that she had a sign of "humanity" in Jiang Zhou's eyes.

Qianxia Ying waved her hand and said:

"Long time no see, Theseus... I'm really, really sorry about what happened before."

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment - or in other words, he just pretended to be stunned.

Immediately, he turned to look at Fanny, who just shrugged and said:

"I should have said before that my research group has cracked part of the 'Pegasus' technology. Nowadays, biological proteins with similar functions can be implanted in people without the need for 'pre-treatment' such as frontal lobotomy surgery." Chip."

"so?"

Jiang Zhou continued to ask as if he suddenly realized something.

"So, the transformation of "zombie people" achieved using this new technology is no longer irreversible. Each of them can turn on or exit this state at any time through a switch - this is equivalent to giving all of them , both installed a castrated version of 'Pegasus'."

Fanny said:

"It was also through this method that I fooled the audit of 'Cerpolos'... Do you remember, I have made similar suggestions to you before."

Although Fanny said this with a lot of pride in her tone. However, using Jim's ability, Jiang Zhou could sense from the slight enlargement of the other party's pupils and the subtle pauses between words that the matter was likely to be more than that simple.

On the one hand, she was indeed proud of her technological breakthrough; but on the other hand, when it came to fooling "Cerpolos", Fanny was obviously not that confident.

In other words, rather than saying that she had fooled Cerberus, it was better to say that her treatment left enough face for the other party, allowing both sides to come down the steps.

"I see."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou let out a long sigh with a very complicated expression - combined with the use of Jim's "mind-reading" ability and his own "emotional manipulation", he could handle the current situation with ease.

"But what on earth are you..."

As he spoke, he looked back and forth at the Icarus captives who were in the "zombie" state. Although he was not an expert in this field, compared with the last time Jiang Zhou saw them, these people looked better. The prosthetic transformation on his body seems to have undergone a lot of upgrades.

In this regard, Fanny explained:

"You will lead them in the subsequent task of diving to depth 3 to salvage the 'Pegasus' technology... To this end, we have made a certain degree of upgrades in response to their adjustments and transformations."

Is this because Christie doesn't trust the candidates recommended by Pluto Deep Diving?

Jiang Zhou thought.

Immediately, he looked at Chinatsu Sakura, whose expression became increasingly embarrassed - after all, the last time they met, she and Black Falcon-136 stabbed him in the back, almost killing him.

In other words, it actually killed him.

Seeing Jiang Zhou's eyes turning around, Qianxia Ying quickly stretched out her hand towards him, motioning him to stop talking, and then said in a very sincere tone:

"Needless to say, I understand... No matter what I say, there is no way to compensate for what we did to you on the Abyss Dark Web. To be honest, I am not thick-skinned enough to expect you to forgive us. Degree……"

The words were half sincere and half eloquent - Jiang Zhou could see this from the pattern of muscle twitching in the other person's forearm.

Qianxia Sakura continued:

"In the following missions, we will entrust our lives to you, completely obey your command, and atone for the betrayal in the past... So, can you give us another chance?"

Jiang Zhou pursed his lips and said nothing.

And Fanny also spoke at the right time:

"Whether you lead them to dive or not, that actually depends on what you want. But I have to say, if it weren't for them, the people who would replace them would be the salvage team assigned by the company."

Jiang Zhou was silent for a long time, then he looked back and said:

"What about Black Falcon-136? I want to hear his explanation."

Speaking of his name, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but think of the claw blade that penetrated his chest.

Qianxia Ying's expression couldn't help but froze, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm afraid this won't work. B6...ever since he installed the 'Pegasus', he has never been released from the 'zombie' state."

Maybe he doesn't want to face all this anymore...

After finishing speaking, Chinatsu Sakura whispered softly.

Jiang Zhou couldn't help but turn to Fanny aside - the reason is simple. Since the modified castrated version of "Pegasus" is installed, she will definitely have a way to force out of the "zombie" state.

However, Fanny shook her head:

"He is the only one who has the original 'Pegasus' installed on him - before the transformation started, he told me that he had this and wanted to install it on himself. In order to experiment with the effect on people who were born with adjustments, I agreed to his request."

"Then why is he in the team..."

Jiang Zhou asked doubtfully.

"Because before his self-consciousness sank, the last order he left to his body was: obey the orders of 'Theseus' and protect him at all costs."

Happy National Day everyone! ! ! !
