Chapter 25
But if telekinesis is a special ability to consume souls and affect matter, then in theory Alice and her clones should lose more and more souls after using their superpowers many times, which will eventually affect their sanity and self, and eventually become unconscious zombies.
According to Fang Yuan's calculations, this process will not take too long - because even with Alice's soul strength far exceeding that of ordinary people by more than a hundred times, each time a part of the soul is consumed to convert into telekinesis, the loss of soul mass is not much, but the cumulative number is also a considerable number.
According to the frequency of Alice's use of superpowers since she awakened, even if she did not become a zombie, she should have had some mental problems.
However, in fact, this did not happen.
Fang Yuan knew that the damaged soul could recover naturally in a healthy body, but the recovery speed was actually very slow.
He once conducted an experiment on an employee of Sanlian Group: after refining a person's soul into the Philosopher's Stone, he used this single drop of Philosopher's Stone to launch a very small-scale refining, which consumed about half of the soul, and then stuffed the remaining half of the soul back into the still active body to revive it.
As a result, the man turned into an idiot and showed no signs of improvement.
After a while, he took out the man's soul and re-observed it. He found that it was not that it had not recovered, but that the recovery was too small - only about one ten-thousandth of a person's soul.
Therefore, there must be another reason why Alice and the others were safe and sound despite wasting their souls.
Fang Yuan guessed that this might be because after their bodies were perfectly integrated with the T virus, they could efficiently replenish the souls that were lost time and time again from another level, just like the so-called "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit" in Taoist practice, but here it is probably the transformation step of "body-T virus-soul".
In order to verify the above speculation, Fang Yuan even invited several Alices to participate in the experiment in person.
First, their souls were briefly taken out before and after they used their superpowers continuously, and the soul quality was measured and then put back. After a period of time, they were allowed to rest fully and then re-measured.
Sure enough, Fang Yuan found that the soul quality first decreased and then recovered, and the recovery speed was unusually fast! ——Their superpowers are indeed fueled by souls, and the lost souls can indeed recover quickly. Even in this recovery process, Fang Yuan also observed the extra consumption of body substances.
The deeper secrets between the soul and the body gradually revealed themselves to Fang Yuan! … Of course, exploring some of the essences of telekinesis does not mean that Fang Yuan can use telekinesis directly.
Fang Yuan is still confused about why the wave-state souls come into contact with cells fused with the T virus, and it is unknown how long it will take to study it thoroughly.
However, let's put these research matters aside for the time being and turn our attention back to the newly established Alice Corps.
Because she was cloned and her clones were used for human experiments, Alice's anger can be said to have never been extinguished.
Therefore, when the Alice Corps was first dispatched, their target was the Tri-Union Group, which had been beaten half-crippled by Fang Yuan.
Yes, even though Fang Yuan destroyed two-thirds of its North American assets, and the most important heir and a behind-the-scenes controller died, this monopoly consortium, which was comparable to the Umbrella Corporation in its heyday, still did not fall.
Unlike the Umbrella Corporation, which was abandoned by consumers and liquidated by the government due to scandals, the Sanlian Group at least did not have any shocking scandals on the surface.
Even because of Fang Yuan's brutal slaughter of employees of Sanlian's subordinate companies, ordinary people who were unaware of the situation even felt sympathy for the company's situation.
Therefore, when those behind-the-scenes masters who were lucky enough not to be discovered by Fang Yuan did their best to inject capital to hold on, the entire Sanlian Group suffered heavy losses, but actually survived tenaciously.
However, when the Alice Legion, who was determined to take revenge, joined the game, the situation became completely different...')090'\u003eChapter 89 Full of Confidence
Here is a dimly lit office with no windows. There is also a dampness in the room that seems to have lasted for years. It looks like it should be underground.
"Sir, regarding the action against the White House, do we still want to continue?" A fully armed elite soldier with a gun in hand asked his employer.
"... Let's pause for now! Our primary target now is still the group of experimental subjects that have gotten out of control!" The person who answered was none other than the future boss, Simmons, who had luckily escaped Fang Yuan's first round of attacks.
He was really lucky. Although he was not summoned by the boss behind the scenes because he was not a real core in the Sanlian Group, he also escaped Fang Yuan's beheading attack and did not die in a nuclear explosion like Excella.
Moreover, he was even more lucky because he was mainly responsible for external public relations in Sanlian, so he would hardly stay in any of the Sanlian Group's subsidiaries for too long, so he miraculously escaped every massacre by Fang Yuan, and even escaped the Alice Legion that joined this killing feast later. It can be said that he was extremely lucky.
In fact, up to now, apart from those old immortals who are still hiding in unknown corners of the world, Simmons has the highest status among the people still alive in the entire Sanlian Group.
Therefore, he was very honored to be selected by several other old people hiding behind the scenes and became the new leader of Sanlian Group.
The first thing he did after taking office was to immediately stop the assassination plan against the President of the United States.
At this time, when the entire group is in turmoil, it is even more necessary to have a more conspicuous and more capable human shield in front of it.
After all, after that mushroom was planted, the US government had to respond no matter how unwilling it was to get involved in the personal grudges between Sanlian Group and Fang Yuan and others.
At this time, the center of this country must not be in chaos. Even if the President of the United States is not of the same mind as them, his life is much more valuable than his death.
Therefore, when our Mr. President didn't know anything, he just walked around in front of the gate of hell. I have to say that he was very lucky.
However, for Simmons, who first took up the position of head of the group, although the U.S. military served as a powerful foreign aid, what he faced was still a mess that couldn't be worse.
——When the Alice Legion, which consisted of hundreds of people, was dispatched collectively, their attack efficiency on the Sanlian Group's industries was far higher than that of Fang Yuan alone.
In less than a month, all the physical enterprises in the world that were officially owned by the Sanlian Group had been completely destroyed. In addition, more than 70% of the hidden bases were hunted down by Fang Yuan and others following clues. It was also completely destroyed.
It can be said that the reason why the entire Sanlian Group is still standing is entirely because the bosses behind the group are trying their best to support it at all costs.
"How is the progress of the modulation of the upper Las P-lagas individuals?" Simmons asked the head of the research department.
"The progress is not very ideal."
The person in charge shook his head helplessly: "The lack of data is too serious. It is difficult to create a perfectly controllable upper-level individual based on the incomplete experimental records in our hands."
"...It doesn't need to be perfect, I just need it to work!" Simmons is not a researcher, so he doesn't consider perfection. He only needs qualified products that can solve the current dilemma.
"Then, we can do it now. In about seventy-two hours, the first high-level commander-type individual will be able to walk out of the culture tank."
The person in charge gave a fairly satisfactory answer, and Simmons finally looked better.
"Very good, prepare as many high-level individuals as possible. This is a matter of life and death for all of us!" "Yes!" When the person in charge withdrew, Simmons slumped down heavily on the large chair. His face was full of exhaustion.
In order to deal with the group of attackers who are staring at them, especially those clones with powerful supernatural powers, the existence of Las P-lagas upper-level infected bodies that can carry out targeted restraint is necessary.
However, given that the previous killings and sweeps by Fang Yuan and the Alice Legion had caused too serious damage, and many important experimental data had been severely damaged, the research and development progress on Simmons' side has always been unsatisfactory, and it was only now that it finally became available. A bit of good news finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
"Really, those old men who want to become gods...what did they do with Alice's plan? They created such a lot of monsters, but you didn't really become gods!" Because there was no one else around, Simmons finally You can complain as much as you like about the people behind the scenes who dare not show their faces.
To be honest, he was actually very dissatisfied with those old men.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to become a god. In fact, if given the chance, Simmons himself would also like to become a god above humans.
But can’t these people do things more cleanly? Why create such a large number of clones with powerful supernatural powers? And come on, why did you let them lose control? If it’s out of control, then it’s out of control. Why can’t we set up more countermeasures? It doesn't matter if there are no other countermeasures, as long as there are...but why not make more copies of important research data? As a result, the matter has become too big and can't be settled anymore, so he pushed this young man out of the tank, while she hid behind the scenes and watched him fight and fight in the front... In short, for this group of indifferent old immortals , Simmons is really full of resentment.
But this is also his opportunity. If the old immortal dare not come forward, then he will have the opportunity to seize more resources and power into his own hands. As long as he can seize and even control those out-of-control experimental subjects... "Hmph! Come on, come on! I will let you experiments know that your fate is always in our hands!" Simmons showed a confident smile.
...At the same time, Alice Corps.
"Okay, after adjusting like this, you should not be affected by the mind control of the upper-level individuals of Las P-lagas."
After sending away the last Alice who was undergoing physical adjustments, Fang Yuan rubbed his brows tiredly.
Continuously helping more than a hundred people perform ultra-high-precision central nervous system adjustments and transformations is no small undertaking even for Fang Yuan.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
After all, almost all clones were fused and symbiotic with Las P-lagas during the embryonic stage. The parasite has become an important part of their central nervous system. They want to attack their central nervous system without harming them. To make adjustments, the alchemist Fang Yuan really had to take action.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Alice (full body) handed a glass of water to the side and thanked Fang Yuan: "Thank you very much for everything you have done for us."
"You're welcome. I've also learned a lot from you. Let's treat it as an equal exchange!" Fang Yuan took the water glass and drank it in one gulp.
…Hmm, I wonder what Simmons’ expression will be like when he discovers that the trump card he worked so hard to come up with is completely useless… PS: The third update will be posted a little later.
')091'\u003eChapter 90 The Real Enemy
"Is this the weapon they created to deal with us?" This is an underground battlefield that has become a ruin. An Alice is using her feet wearing high-heeled boots to pull the one on the ground that looks like a sea anemone at first glance. Look carefully. The corpse of an ugly monster that looked like a brain covered with tentacles.
Looking at the surrounding ground, you will find that there is not only one such corpse, but at least hundreds of them.
These are the killer "commanders" that Simmons once had high hopes for.
Brain-like organs composed almost entirely of Las P-lagas do not have overly complex thinking abilities. They have only one ability, which is to hypnotize and even control subordinates within a certain range by relying on the mental interference between upper-level individuals and lower-level infected bodies. individual.
Tsk tsk, hypnosis, control... coupled with their appearance that resembles tentacle monsters... Fang Yuan would not believe that the designer was not a certain type of book lover.
But it's a pity that because someone patched it in advance, this kind of mental control has disappeared from the Alices, so... the consequences are like this now.
"This... this is impossible!" At this time, Simmons had an expression full of doubts about life. He slumped in his boss chair in horror, watching a dozen Alices approaching him step by step.
And there was no one around him who could protect him.
All the private soldiers and mercenaries hired by the Sanlian Group were dead, and all the biological and chemical weapons released from the laboratory were dead. In the entire underground base, he was the only one who could still breathe. People.
"Don't...don't come over!" After all, Simmons at this time is not more than ten years later. At that time, he was in his forties and had completely transformed into a qualified behind-the-scenes Boss. Even in the face of the most dangerous situation, he would not To act so cowardly - you are still too young after all.
The Alices originally wanted to torture and interrogate Simmons, but after seeing his useless reaction, they suddenly lost interest.
They looked at each other, and then one Alice put down the long knife in her hand, shrugged and said: "...Okay, I won't go."
"Huh -" Simmons didn't know why they let him go, but his life should have been saved... He just thought this, and suddenly, a voice different from all Alice's came from behind him. : "It doesn't matter, leave it to me!" Turning around suddenly, he suddenly realized that a tall figure wearing black armor had appeared behind him.
"Fxck!" This was the last word Simmons said. At the last moment before losing consciousness, all he saw was a big black hand with blue lightning flashing, covering his face. .
... "How is it? Do you have any more detailed information?" Alice (full body) was wearing the same style as other Alices, except that some parts were a few sizes too small. She cut her hands into curls. He discarded his sword casually and walked towards this side.
"Quite a few!" Fang Yuan responded, but most of his energy was focused on the virtual light screen in front of him. [Ether] was sorting out all the important memories of Simmons into categories, allowing Fang Yuan to review the Sanlian The man behind the group has a clearer picture.
"Huh..." After a long time, he put down the hand that had been pressing Simmons' head. The unsupported body just fell on the seat, and then slid to the ground along with gravity, making a "bang" sound. There was a muffled sound.
Putting away the drop of Philosopher's Stone he had harvested, Fang Yuan put away the mask on his armor and took a breath of the moist air in the underground base.
"We all underestimated the Sanlian Group!" His first sentence attracted all Alice's attention.
"What do you mean?" Alice was a little confused.
"Sanlian Group is not just the companies we see on the surface, nor just the bases we destroyed - it is actually a super-giant interest rooted within all the wealthy classes in North America and Europe. Community!" Fang Yuan explained the information he had just obtained from Simmons' mind in as concise a voice as possible.
“Although we have now destroyed almost all of Sanlian Group’s industries around the world, these are actually just the parts of a huge iceberg floating on the water.
Behind this old group that has existed for hundreds of years are actually more than 90% of the financial group leaders and military and political officials in Europe and the United States. "
Yes, although Sanlian Group is a complex international enterprise with a long history on the surface, due to various cross-shareholdings, equity transfers, indirect shareholdings and other complex operations of large listed companies, the entire Sanlian Group is almost the same as that of European and American companies. All major consortiums are connected.
This connection is not just a simple financial connection, but also because Sanlian Group has something that all wealthy people, no, all human beings want to get - the secret of immortality! Yes, unlike the Umbrella Company, which develops the Progenitor virus series more as biological and chemical weapons, Sanlian Group, as an enterprise that came into contact with the Sun Staircase earlier and started laying out its layout in this area earlier, its focus has always been on how to On the matter of using the ancestor virus to promote the evolution of the human body.
At least, that's true for those behind the scenes and those behind the scenes.
For these upper-class people who control more than 99% of the wealth of the entire society, the little money they can earn from selling biological and chemical weapons is simply not worth risking their reputation by participating in various inhumane and illegal experiments.
But if this is to allow yourself and your family to gain a healthier body, a stronger body, a longer lifespan, and even strength that truly surpasses that of mortals, then this investment is naturally very worthwhile! Well, as for the Mr. President who almost received a "special gift"... To be honest, his background is not very high, so for this kind of secret that only the real "blue-blooded aristocrats" can know, he Almost nothing.
"...In other words, our enemy...is the whole world?" Alice closed her eyes with a depressed expression. Although she had thought that there must be a mastermind behind the Sanlian Group, she never thought that this mastermind was actually It's so big that it can cover the sky with one hand.
"So, are you going to stop here, or are you going to stand up and fight to the end?" Fang Yuan looked at Alice, quietly waiting for her decision.
... "I have decided! I will fight to the end!" Alice opened her eyes, and what shone in her eyes was the fighting will visible to the naked eye.
Turning to look at the other Alices, their eyes also shone with the light of will.
It seems that the world is really going to be turned upside down! ')092'\u003eChapter 91: War of Public Opinion
Although they say they want to fight the whole world, in fact both Fang Yuan and Alice know that their real enemies are only a small group of people who account for less than one ten thousandth of the total population of society.
And just such a small group of people directly occupy more than 99% of the world's wealth and resources, and the power they control through various means is equivalent to the country itself.
Therefore, even if you want to fight against these people, you cannot do it directly.
They need to separate the enemy from the entire social system! "So, we need to launch a public opinion war!" This is in a large conference room in the base. Fang Yuan is explaining the next course of action to the Alices.
"A war of public opinion?" The Alices looked at each other.
"We...should be considered wanted criminals now, right? How to fight a public opinion war?" This is a very practical question.
Because of the previous battle with the Sanlian Group, the existence of the Alice Corps has been exposed to the government.
Although they all wore full-covering masks during the operation and did not leave any clear faces, it is certain that they have become wanted criminals.
"...You forgot one thing."
Fang Yuan pushed up the glasses he had put on at some point, and two strange rays of light were reflected.
"Forgot something?" Alice and others were a little confused.
"Yes, that is, your status as clones!" "What do you mean?" They still couldn't understand Fang Yuan's words.
"...How stupid!" Fang Yuan shook his head with an expression of hatred, and then pointed to a TV in the conference room and said: "Once your clone identity is exposed, what a big shock will it cause in society. The uproar? Cloning human beings, an act that violates human ethics, is more topical than the production of biological and chemical weapons, and the evidence is easier to identify - you only need to stand publicly in front of the media lens! "Yes, Fang Yuan had thought differently before, why was he obsessed with concealing the identity of Alice's clones? The Alices were asked to hide their identities before, just because Alice took the initiative, and he himself was also out of the remaining ordinary people's thinking in his heart, and he was instinctively unwilling to expose such things and cause social unrest.
But actually thinking about it, what does it matter if the Alice clone reveals its identity? He is not a national leader who wants to maintain social stability. He is an outlaw who is not bound by the law! Social unrest has nothing to do with him! Moreover, from another perspective, it is safer for them to stand openly in front of the media lens - even a shameless government such as the United States will not be able to attack the Alices unscrupulously in the face of turbulent public opinion. .
"""...!""" After listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, the Alices suddenly realized that, indeed, this was indeed a very good idea! As long as the Alices don't mind the identities of their clones becoming known, exposing them to the media is indeed a very sharp move.
This is evidence that cannot be denied at all - as long as more than ten Alice clones appear in front of the camera, no one else can deny the existence of human cloning. They are the best and most Irrefutable evidence! "Can this bring down the masterminds behind Sanlian?" Alice asked this key question.
"Yes, although our personal appearance can indeed drive Sanlian Group into the dust, but this does not guarantee that those behind the scenes will be punished, right? Just like the Umbrella Company, when it collapsed, so many members who should have been arrested and convicted were They were successfully acquitted in various ways, so this should also happen to Sanlian Group, right?" Another Alice said this through the interface. It seems that they have not considered solving the problem of Sanlian Group through legal means. But reality told them that this was simply impossible.
"So, this requires us to take action ourselves, either to collect all the fatal evidence of those behind the scenes, or to send those guys on the road directly!" Fang Yuan gave his solution.
Very simple, but also very practical.
Indeed, since we can't easily punish them with the law, then we need to find evidence that can punish them. If that doesn't work, just sanction them ourselves - the Alice Corps is not a legal business organization that abides by laws and regulations. They are wanted criminals. ! Even more seriously, there is no problem in calling them a terrorist organization - if you look at the buildings they destroyed around the world and the number of people they killed, they are even more powerful than Al Qaeda, which created 911 in the main world! "Okay, you convinced me."
Alice (positive body) nodded, indicating that she agreed with the proposal, and then turned to look at the other Alices, who all nodded in agreement.
