Meng Chao's pupils shrank to the size of two needles.
Before Gao Ye could finish his sentence, his chain saber had already shot out like lightning and accurately cut off the cables connected to Gao Ye's helmet.
Sparks flew from the broken parts of the cables, and they fell to the ground like dead snakes.
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
The smile on Gao Ye's face became wider and wider.
"You thought that I would use the superbrain helmet to send my consciousness out, so you kept a close eye on the cables above my head to make sure that there weren't any powerful spirit energy fluctuations coming from inside. That's why you had the patience to stall for time with me. Am I right?"
Gao Ye said faintly. "But why would I place the real consciousness transferring device in such an obvious place?"
Meng Chao had a bad feeling again. He gritted his teeth and strode forward. He did not care about the other person's disability and kicked the wheelchair over.
Gao Ye fell to the ground like a rag doll.
Behind him was a row of densely packed cables connected to his spine.
The cables sank into the wheelchair and went along the wheelchair to a corner of the lab, where there was a mess of cables.
Meng Chao sensed incredibly powerful spirit energy fluctuations from inside.
It was as if there were waves that were being transmitted from Gao Ye's body to a certain place in the depths of the lab through the cables.
Meng Chao tore off all the cables and grabbed the broken parts. "What is this?!" he shouted fiercely.
"It's useless," Gao Ye said calmly.
"I've been talking to you for a long time just now, and I've been using the consciousness transferring device to transfer my soul. Now, I've reached the final step, and I can complete it through the wireless network. Even if you dismantle the entire lab, you won't be able to stop me."
Meng Chao's skin crawled. He remembered the Supernatural Entity in his nightmares and said in fear, "Y-You're mad! You want to turn yourself into an experiment subject?!"
"The consciousness transferring experiment is incredibly dangerous, and it breaks the limits of ethics. If I don't dare to become an experiment subject, how would I have the face to search for more volunteers to carry out the experiment?"
Gao Ye said faintly. "I can only turn myself into the first experiment subject and accumulate a large amount of experimental data so that the experiment becomes more stable and safe. Only then can I carry out the next stage of the experiment.
"It's a pity. I could have used the large amount of resources in Spirit Creation Creatures to complete my research earlier and more smoothly.
"But now, there's no other way.
"Elites have entered the company, and there are at least three Heaven Realm elites among them. They're the reinforcements you've been waiting for, right?
"I'm glad that I met a bosom friend like you, Meng Chao, but I'm afraid that we'll have to stop our conversation for now. I believe that we'll have the chance to meet again. At that time, I'll definitely introduce more friends to you."
Gao Ye extended his bony arm and waved at Meng Chao.
Meng Chao's skin crawled, and he picked him up.
Gao Ye, whose limbs were incomplete, was light and weightless, like a skeleton covered in human skin.
The light in his sole eye and the soul flame in the depths of his brain were quickly extinguishing.
"No …"
From Meng Chao's perspective, Gao Ye was dying.
And he simply didn't know how to retain the last shred of Gao Ye's soul.
Before he could think of a way, the light in Takano's solitary eye completely dissipated.
His breathing and heartbeat stopped. His vitality magnetic field was instantly extinguished like a candle flame in a storm. Even if Meng Chao's hands dug into his shoulders, he could only grab a cold corpse.
The huge Ultimate Sandworm was waking up in the huge, sunken incubation pool outside the strengthened glass window.
Countless monitoring devices were shrieking, and the researchers exclaimed in surprise. The red light that represented the highest level of alarm was flashing nonstop. In the chaos, the Ultimate Insect Killer tore apart the dozen or so steel cables that bound it and raised its neck high like a dragon.
One could clearly see a huge bump bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye behind the crack on its head.
Then, with a loud boom, the air that was sucked into the bump gushed out after it was highly compressed.
It was like a huge steam whistle that exploded in the sealed space. The air flow was close to the speed of sound. It tore through the air and tore the eardrums of more than ten researchers. It also shattered the strengthened glass in front of Meng Chao.
Meng Chao felt two burning needles pierce his eardrums and tear his ear canal, cochlea, auditory nerves, and brain to pieces.
He reached out and touched his ears. Blood flowed out.
Before he could focus and calm down, the second wave of attacks came.
This time, the Ultimate Sandworm did not use a sound wave attack. Instead, it used a mind attack that could not be blocked.
Its mental power was like a tidal wave that could topple mountains. It turned into visible ripples that crashed into the brains of all the researchers and Meng Chao.
The researchers screamed in pain. They hugged their heads and rolled around on the ground.
Meng Chao also felt that all his brain cells were popping like popcorn, and his mental strength index was plummeting.
"Do you remember the topic we talked about before about whether monsters can gain intelligence?"
There was a dense layer of holes behind the Ultimate Sandworm's crack.
Air flowed through the holes and vibrated the flesh membranes in them.
Based on the speed, strength, and vibration frequency of the air flow, it could produce sounds that were similar to human speech.
But when it "spoke" through the holes, it was completely different from a real human's voice.
It was as if a beast's roar and an organ's roar had been mixed together. It was crazy, calm, evil, and holy. It sounded like the voice of a demonic god.
"Mammalian nerves have myelin sheaths, which are the same as information highways. Octopuses and cuttlefish used the method of lengthening and thickening their nerve cords, which made them one of the smartest creatures in the ocean. Sandworms and other annelids might be primitive, but each ring has its own independent nervous system. Even if a part of their body is cut off or their central nervous system is destroyed, it won't stop them from continuing to live and fight."
The demonic voice from the Ultimate Sandworm's blowhole was still raging, and it gradually turned into Gao Ye's tone. "If we fuse these three completely different nervous systems together and create nerve cords that are as thick as the king cuttlefish's and wrap them in myelin sheaths that are similar to human nerves, then connect multiple nervous systems together, will we be able to replace the human brain and bear the human soul? Will we be able to awaken the secrets in the depths of the human soul and develop super intelligence?
"Now, I finally have the chance to try it myself and find the answer."
Meng Chao gulped laboriously.
At the corner of his eye, he saw that the progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities had jumped to 13%.
Alright, he had a general idea of what the Nine Great Supernatural Entities, aside from the White Spirit was, and the super intelligent Giant Sandworm that had wreaked havoc underground was.
No matter how much wild Giant Sandworms evolved and mutated, it was impossible for them to develop intelligence that could compare to that of humans.
But this Supernatural Entity was originally a human. It was Gao Ye!
"You …"
Meng Chao knelt down on one knee in front of the shattered glass window and lifted Gao Ye's original body high into the air. "Your body is already dead. You can't go back anymore. Is it worth it to do this?"
"That's right. I died yesterday, but today, I obtained new life."
The Ultimate Sandworm, Gao Ye, opened his fang-filled mouth and tried to put on a smile that resembled a human's, but it only made his expression become even more terrifying. "Thank you, Meng Chao. I've never made up my mind whether I want to completely break free of this human shell and get rid of this incomplete, weak, and powerless body that constantly tortures me with pain.
"Even though it has all sorts of flaws, it's still what I was born with, and it's also the final obstacle for me to walk down a brand new path.
"Thank you for helping me make my decision. We'll meet again in the future!"
Gao Ye tore his bloody mouth to the limit.
The researchers watched this scene dumbfounded. Some of them had yet to snap out of their daze from Gao Ye's demon-like voice. Some of them screamed hysterically and grabbed their companions to flee to the corners.
Gao Ye didn't pay attention to these people, but aimed his bloody mouth at the ground.
The ground of the hatching pond was soft soil that was the most suitable for Giant Sandworms to grow and move about.
The Ultimate Sandworm was even larger than the super Giant Sandworm Meng Chao had fought fiercely in Trash Site 4. The efficiency at which it ate soil and moved underground was more than ten times higher.
In an instant, half of its body crawled into the ground.
Through the squirming and expanding of its muscles, a large amount of the soil it ate gushed out of the excretory hole at the end of its body, and it turned the research center into a mess.
Meng Chao's mental strength index finally returned to normal.
With a growl, he threw his chain sabers again.
The two chain sabers were surrounded by flames and lightning respectively. They stabbed deep into the Ultimate Sandworm, Gao Ye's body.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Gao Ye was no longer a handicapped person who was curled up in a wheelchair, weighed less than eighty kilograms, and had no strength to even truss a chicken.
Not only did he have a terrifying super nervous system that allowed him to carry a human's intelligence and violent mental strength, he also had a body that was as tough as steel.
He also had a body that was as tough as steel.
No matter how Meng Chao activated his spirit energy magnetic field and made the flames and lightning continue crawl into his body, they could not stop him.
None of them could stop him from fleeing into the depths of the earth.
Meng Chao yanked hard, and the two chains became so taut that they looked like two straight lines. But in the end, he was dragged down by Gao Ye.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth so hard that sparks flew.
The chains wrapped around his arms nearly tore them to shreds.
He endured the pain and thought that even if he lasted for one more second, the possibility of Lu Siya and the others arriving in time would increase.
No matter how high the Ultimate Sandworm's efficiency in digging underground was, there was a limit to it. It was impossible for it to dig underground at a speed of dozens of kilometers per hour, right?
But against his expectations, after Gao Ye dug dozens of meters down, his speed suddenly increased, and he really did look like he was going to charge forward like a hurricane.
Meng Chao refused to let go and was dragged deep underground. He noticed that the soil and walls around him were as smooth as a mirror. They were definitely not dug out recently.
His mind raced, and Meng Chao instantly understood that this was the path Gao Ye had left for himself.
He must have controlled the Giant Sandworm a long time ago to dig out a lot of tunnels under the research center to form a complicated escape route.
The tunnel behind him was gradually blocked by the soil that gushed out of Gao Ye's excretory hole.
In front of him was a dark maze.
This was going to be troublesome.
