Ali woke with a violent headache and nausea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found herself in a small, windowless cell entirely made of some smooth, icy alloy. Her limbs were bound by heavy energy restraints, their inner rings flickering with faint suppression runes that not only immobilized her but also pressed down on her remaining power like invisible chains—any attempt to stir even a trace of shadow energy brought needle-like pain and a stronger feedback of suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her rib and shoulder wounds had been crudely treated and stopped bleeding, yet still throbbed dull pain. What chilled her most was the return of the shadow corruption she had believed Lin Mo and the earth vein energy had purged—faint signs of resurgence lingered. The black veins beneath her skin had faded but left behind a cold, lingering mark. In this cold, technological prison, it felt strangely… comfortable? As if the environment here nurtured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization sent a shiver through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cell door slid open silently. A male human in spotless white uniform entered, expressionless, eyes vacant. He held a data tablet and did not even look at Ali—as if she were an object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Subject ID 734, original name 'Ali,' native human of the Wasteland Fragment, one of Lin Mo's core followers, skilled in stealth, assassination, and intelligence gathering,\" he recited flatly from the tablet. \"Multiple bodily injuries, residual low-activity Abyss corruption marks, high research value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ali’s icy gaze sliced across him, searching for any flicker of emotion—she found none. These people were machines without feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is the Doctor? What does he want?” Ali’s voice was hoarse from thirst and weakness, yet sharp with unyielding coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technician finally lifted his eyelids, glancing at her as one might observe an insect in a petri dish: \"The Doctor's time is precious. He does not waste it on failed specimens. Your value lies in your experiences, the corruption marks within you, and your connection to the 'Key.' Cooperate with the research, and you may avoid unnecessary pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specimen? Ali’s nails dug into her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technician said no more, gesturing for her to follow. The energy restraints pulsed with an irresistible pull, forcing her out of the cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside was a long, brilliantly lit, spotless white corridor, lined with identical cell doors. The air carried a faint scent of disinfectant and an unsettling low-frequency hum. Occasionally, other white-uniformed technicians passed by, expressionless, or transparent containers filled with bizarre biological specimens or organs were transported by mechanical arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rode a floating platform upward. Through occasional observation windows along the corridor, Ali saw shocking sights—the sky outside was not stars, but the vast, entirely modified interior of the Ark! The Doctor’s forces had already heavily infiltrated and seized control here! Massive mechanical arms dismantled and restructured the Ark’s original framework, building cold, technological facilities. Countless scavenger units and various robot models bustled like worker ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in a massive sealed zone, they saw successfully “tamed” crystal clusters—connected to energy conduits, drained like batteries, their auras dim and sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Doctor hadn't just captured them—he was wildly plundering and reshaping the Ark itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they reached a vast circular observation platform. Below it yawned a bottomless vertical shaft, at its center floating a massive, dull, almost shriveled—World Tree Seed—bound and entwined by countless energy conduits and mechanical arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the “Dawn” seed previously corrupted and taken by Shadow Eye! But its condition was dire: most of its surface was dead, gray-black; only a tiny core still flickered with a dying green glow, as if about to extinguish entirely. Purple corruption traces still clung to it, forcibly restrained—neither spreading nor being purified, locked in a strange “balance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Doctor had found it—and was using it for some experiment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive, isn’t it?” A calm, almost unnatural voice spoke from beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ali spun around. A middle-aged man in a white lab coat stood there, hair neatly combed, wearing rimless glasses. He looked like an elegant scholar—but the eyes behind the lenses were cold, deep as eternal ice, devoid of any human emotion. Merely standing there, he seemed the very core of the cold base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Doctor! For the first time, she saw this mastermind up close!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you… doing?” Ali bit back the urge to tear him apart, her voice tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recycling. Optimization. Integration.” The Doctor’s tone was as flat as discussing the weather. “This seed holds fascinating power—both orderly and chaotic. Destroying it would be wasteful. Purifying it would consume unnecessary resources. Maintaining this fragile balance allows it to continuously emit… stable chaotic energy, which serves me better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the conduits connected to the seed: “Look. It suffers. It struggles. It cycles endlessly between life and death. This extreme state generates the energy needed to open deeper doors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madman. Utterly mad. Ali felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Doctor’s gaze turned to Ali, as if seeing through her entirely: “And you—equally fascinating. You’ve retained partial selfhood under Abyss corruption, even coexisted with it. Your data is vital to perfecting my ‘Ascension’ project.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t get a single thing from me!” Ali said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need not give anything willingly.” The Doctor adjusted his glasses. “Your body. Your memories. Your energy fluctuations—they will speak for themselves. The process may be… unpleasant. But the outcome is inevitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved a hand lightly. Two technicians stepped forward, ready to take Ali to a nearby lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a faint alarm echoed through the entire base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A virtual screen flickered into view before the Doctor, displaying the Ark’s structural map—a deep region flashing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Report, Doctor: Anomalous energy disturbance detected in the Ark Heart shelter network. Disturbance signature matches that of the previously vanished ‘Key’ carrier. Target not deceased. Has activated a forward outpost.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the Doctor’s lips curled into the faintest smile—like a man who’d found a new toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? More resilient than expected. Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze returned to Ali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems we can add a new variable to your… discomfort. Perhaps using you as bait will lure her out of her rat hole herself?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-21T00:09:54.226Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6202645fc75c19b131093e635fcdbc5fbc7db0eed13e843f597ff479285c7f6c","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-228","lord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-chapter-226",247,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-all-heavens-from-a-wasteland-farm-to-a-d-cover.jpg"]
