47 -47: Killing Intent

“What on earth is this abomination?” Xiang Shan bizarrely ripped open those tentacles.

Then, he witnessed an astonishing scene.

Inside those tentacles were thick neural nodes.

This was a very typical characteristic of cephalopods.

Vertebrates evolved a protective layer known as “myelin sheath”, which greatly increased the speed of neural signal transmission.

Non-mammalian animals lack this structure but have found ways to fortify their nervous systems.

Cephalopods took a completely different path—they made their nerves thicker.

The resistance calculation formula is R =(p*l)/s, where p stands for resistivity, a parameter set once the conductor is determined.

With the same conducting material, the smaller the cross-sectional area, the greater the resistance.

Cephalopods reduce resistance by enlarging the cross-section of their nerves, achieving a nerve signal transmission speed more than half of that of humans.

They have also optimized the structure of their nerves, forming independent thinking centers within their tentacles.

The tentacles inside Gleayard’s body retained such functionality.

And more bizarrely, it wasn’t just the tentacles.

Behind Gleayard, there were also numerous electronic devices entangled with the neurons extending from inside the tentacles.

“What is… what the hell is this?” Xiang Shan was flabbergasted.

“There’s also this…

this kind of method?”

Xiang Shan completely pulled out the tentacles.

As expected, the nervous structure of the tentacles was connected directly to the brain.

“What kind of trick is this…” Xiang Shan was once again plunged into confusion.

He had no recollection of this in his memory.

This definitely wasn’t a modification technique from his era.

But now didn’t seem to be the time to delve into this.

Xiang Shan pulled out a few wires from Gleayard’s body, then plugged them into the data interface on his wrist, carefully using his powerful Inner Strength to connect with the residual drives inside Gleayard.

In his era, masters of Internal Strength could plant “Gu” within others’ bodies.

While Gleayard’s own level of Inner Strength was mediocre, who knew if there were traps set within his drives by a master—a point that perhaps even Gleayard himself was unaware of.

Xiang Shan was actually quite experienced in this regard.

He knew there were many experts who died from “searching a corpse,” meeting their end without even knowing what had outwitted them.

His powerful Inner Strength, as an extension of his will, boldly invaded Gleayard’s mechanical body.

Gleayard’s degree of cyberization was very high, and the modules for motion were relatively independent, so even if Xiang Shan removed the martial arts related chips, it would not hinder the movement of the lower half of the body that had been turned into a vehicle.

Xiang Shan quickly cleared dozens of traps, then layered some of the drives over.

The electric engines inside Gleayard’s body restarted.

Xiang Shan further damaged the armor.

He found some quite decent components on Gleayard’s back—a wireless signal transmission unit.

This was what Gleayard used to control his drone swarm.

Vigorous Kui had a similar one, but its power was far less than Gleayard’s.

Gleayard could even send commands to drones several kilometers away.

This must be a necessary cybernetic component for snipers of this era.

Xiang Shan didn’t have the means to maintain drones right now, but this device could still be used brilliantly by a master of Internal Strength.

With this device, Xiang Shan’s formidable Inner Strength could finally strike enemies at a hundred yards.

But now he had no time to implant it into his body.

There was still someone he must kill.

“Ohhhhh!

Yulia!

Yulia!” Enoch shouted fervently, desperately accelerating the rotation of the vehicle’s nose, repeatedly reversing and then charging, ramming into the rear side of Yulia’s dump truck.

He wanted to insert his own bumper into the exhaust pipe of this heavy machinery.

He wanted to insert his own drive shaft into the spare tire of this heavy machinery.

He wanted their circuits to connect.

He wanted…

He wanted…

He wanted both machines to become a pile of scrap metal!

He wanted their two brains turned into a mass of protein!

To be together like this forever!

Never to part again!

“Yulia!

I love you!

Love you!

I love you!” Enoch’s lofty roar, after being processed through noise reduction by the voice print bag, sounded surprisingly clear.

“You bastard…

ugh…” Five meters away, Yuki vomited blood, wanting to rush over, but was firmly held back by the Town Mayor.

A series of explosions had drawn the attention of some townspeople.

Yuki realized this was the direction his master was heading to leave, so he followed.

And then, he saw a scene that shocked and baffled him—Enoch, that bastard, was fiercely crashing into his own mother.

Yuki tried to rush over but was flung away five meters by just one of Enoch’s reverses.

But at this moment, Enoch had completely forgotten about killing so he didn’t run over Yuki.

Yuki still wanted to get up, but the Town Mayor held him down.

The Town Mayor was very clear that Yuki had been seriously injured by now.

Surely, more of his internal organs must be replaced.

If Enoch were to hit him now, this child would truly be dead.

But soon, Enoch stopped his actions.

“No…,” Enoch murmured in confusion.

“This isn’t right, this isn’t what it feels like, why…

why?

Why why why why!”

He charged violently towards Yulia’s vehicle.

Yulia’s beloved engineering machinery was rammed into two halves.

“Why!

It shouldn’t feel like this!

Why!”

Enoch had no sense of touch.

He hadn’t experienced any “touch” since he was over ten years old.

In this kind of village, many people would keep some of their natural body when they grew old, but Enoch had none at all.

And a Prosthetic Body for Martial Arts that had touch was beyond Enoch’s imagination.

He didn’t know what the problem was.

Enoch just felt that this was completely different from his instincts.

——I must be crazy…

——From the first shot of testosterone, I must have gone crazy…

At that moment, a figure slowly walked in from the outskirts of the village.

“Poor thing.”

Despite using a cheap voice synthesizer, the multitude of noise within the angry shout revealed the speaker’s fury.

Xiang Shan said, “You should be set free now.”

He glanced at the front of Yulia’s vehicle.

Gleayard’s bullet had pierced the Brain-Machine Barrier, and the Biological Brain was damaged beyond saving.

He could probably guess what the problem was.

There was a conflict between the Prosthetic Body and instincts, and Enoch, who had not received any education or psychological counseling, didn’t know how to deal with this contradiction between spirit and flesh.

——Cyberization was originally intended to overcome all diseases…

Xiang Shan thought so.

Then, a bright light filled his vision.

It was Enoch.

For some reason, Enoch suddenly went mad and charged at Xiang Shan. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Xiang Shan didn’t dodge.

Yuki let out a mournful cry.

But in the next second, Enoch’s body completely lost balance, rolling over to the side three times.

Two of his tires flew off.

Xiang Shan, on the other hand, stood up as if nothing had happened, holding two drive shafts in his hand.

In a flash, he had fallen to the ground directly, dodged under Enoch’s vehicle, and removed two of Enoch’s drive shafts.

The dust around Enoch gradually dissipated.

The huge truck sobbed woefully.

“I must be crazy,” he said.

Xiang Shan walked up to the front part of Enoch’s vehicle and said, “If there’s an afterlife, channel your anger and vigor in the right direction.

Be a person.”

Just as he was about to throw the iron rod he held, a bullet struck the edge of his foot.

The Welfare Officer emerged from the crowd, shouting, “Thug, stop right there!”

Xiang Shan still held the iron rod in a raised position, but he stopped his movement and looked at the Welfare Officer.

This time, the Welfare Officer had come with around twenty personal soldiers.

The heads of these soldiers resembled cameras, their faces were a large lens.

This lens provided excellent optical vision, and they held Firearms in their hands.

——Military Martial Path, huh?

The level is “ten-machine manipulation,” and Martial Arts should be “gun and artillery formation”…

Xiang Shan thought.

The Town Mayor threw himself in front of the Welfare Officer.

The Welfare Officer was here today to declare the beginning of asylum.

Nothing could go wrong, but before the Town Mayor could speak, the Welfare Officer reached out and pinched the Mayor’s shoulder, the red light in his Prosthetic Eye flashing.

The Town Mayor found himself unable to speak.

The Welfare Officer had already extracted the general information from the Mayor’s chip records.

He had detected the distant battle from his Ground Effect Vehicle and now was merely confirming it.

He sneered, “Thug, stop it!

Enoch’s crimes have been reported.

If the events are true, he won’t have asylum.

But I am here today to redeclare that this town is under protection.

Until this man’s protection is revoked, I won’t allow you to kill him.”

“Oh?

So the Lords finally decided to show up,” Xiang Shan laughed.

Although he called him “Lord,” there was no respect in his voice.

For some reason, the Welfare Officer felt mocked.

The Welfare Officer snorted, “Man should not judge man.

Stop the violence, that way you…”

“Damn,” Xiang Shan suddenly sighed, “That’s a fine sentiment, but coming from a dog’s mouth, it really is…”
