Chapter 493: Giant Beast Corpse Transformation!

Above the starry sky, Xiao Jiu's massive hull frantically slammed into the Deep Space Giant Beast.

From that completely frenzied collision, one could see that Xiao Jiu's anger had already surpassed the heavens.

Just now, she personally witnessed the tragedy unfold, she personally witnessed Zhang Jie, who had gone to buy her something, being swallowed by the beast's huge maw.

She heard the sound of bones shattering, and among the countless screams, she heard Zhang Jie's own piercing, desperate, indescribable wail.

She heard the teeth-grating sound of chewing.....

You know, it's that kind of..... the feeling when your beloved, holding your favorite thing, walks toward you with a smile, but in the next instant is struck into mincemeat by a speeding truck, that heart-wrenching sensation.

Xiao Jiu's mind went blank for an instant, Zhang Jie's wail kept echoing in her head, and at that moment she almost thought Zhang Jie had really died.

Fortunately, she quickly realized that the current Zhang Jie was merely one of his bodies; the panic faded, replaced by endless fury.

She grabbed the human female covering her mouth and pulled her into the cockpit, transforming into a massive warship, and surged toward the juvenile Deep Space Giant Beast in the sky.

The violent shaking made the human female inside her hull dizzy and nearly vomit, and why these beasts suddenly appeared here—the problem is likely not to be underestimated.

On a tourist planet, guaranteeing safety is already the most basic requirement; such planets are usually located at the very center of the major Star Alliance civilizations, so their safety coefficient is certainly not low.

Moreover, the planetary defense system would also have some effect, so the question arises: what caused such things to appear here?

A warship flashing by not far away gave Zhang Jie an idea; in this situation, the possibility of human involvement would approach a hundred percent, Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes, feeling that his current situation had become dangerous.

Suddenly, the severed body reconnected to his brain in his mind; Yuan had reshaped a body for him, and it was now reconnected to his brain.

"Hey! Here I am! Pay attention!"

"Your neural sequence is starting to move!"

An extremely irritable feeling rose from his heart, unsure whether it was due to various matters piling up during his vacation, or because of the neural sequence alteration mentioned by Nightmare.

"Teacher, is there a way to have more bodies?"

"You......"

Yuan sighed, some things she couldn't solve for Zhang Jie, so she could only speak carefully.

"There is a way: break the gene lock, increase the density and quality of nerves in the brain, or alternatively install external neural connections; these are still relatively safe and controllable."

"But if, given your current condition, you forcibly add more bodies, you might end up with what you call a 'brain split' situation."

Simply put, it's schizophrenia.

Zhang Jie understood, deciding to first use the gene serum—why not use a safe method?

But he still kept this method in mind.

"Teacher, please help me again...."

"You little brat, why be so polite? When have I ever not helped you?"

Well, Zhang Jie felt a bit embarrassed, after all Yuan had indeed taken care of him many times.

If it weren't for Yuan, I probably couldn't have come this far.

"Teacher, could you split off a body to accompany me in researching the Deep Space Giant Beast?"

"After this incident, your and Xiao Jiu's, the human female's journey hasn't ended; you transported the new body over, comforted the two, treating it as merely an accident, but secretly you still arranged defensive forces."

"The human female said she seemed to have vomited all over Xiao Jiu, took Xiao Jiu to wash the ship, and although she didn't look as angry as Xiao Jiu, she actually still blames herself."

"She blames herself for not having arranged enough armed forces."

"And you, you gave bonuses to those ship lives working for you; as the boss, retaining these ship lives is still necessary."

"Your scrap yard is now not small in scale, just a few times larger than Xiao Jiu's main body, and can be considered a giant warship."

"Besides the twenty ship lives Yuan sent, the rest are either picked up like Xiao Jiu, or dug up from graves like Qiong's zombie ship girls, and another part are abandoned and left to die."

"In short, there are hardly any brand-new ones; all are ship lives that have experienced something, you provided them with private lodging, wages, and a place to freely settle; basically, no ship life dislikes you."

"Cough, aside from the forced garbage-picking, even if a ship life dislikes dirt, after spending some time picking up, they'll grow to love the feeling of opening treasure chests and develop all sorts of collecting obsessions."

"Some collect various civilizations' metal currencies, some collect ancient games due to electronic impotence, all kinds of strange collecting quirks, the most outrageous being collecting various creatures' saliva."

"Hmm, you can tell these little guys are doing well; otherwise they wouldn't have developed such bizarre hobbies."

"Soon, the fifth body appeared, and you and Yuan began jointly researching the Deep Space Giant Beast; for this, you deliberately used the beast that Xiao Jiu seemed to have created for study."

"Inside the beast's body is a built-in biological engine; with it, it can travel at warp speed, and even adult or elderly giant beasts can perform jumps; you also discovered from their bodies an inducer device, namely the device that induces heavenly disasters."

"It can be confirmed that this is basically man-made, but you also discovered the terrifying plasticity of the giant beast's body!"

"Your expertise in the field of biotechnology has been greatly enhanced!!!"

"Since Yuan is the creator of ship lives, she has imparted all the concepts and understanding of this technology to you; it can be said that you can now completely build a ship life with your own hands!!!"

"However, the conditions remain harsh, but right now you can already play with this technology to great effect!"

"You.... cough.... you really want to make this my hull?"

Qiong stared at the enormous giant beast and swallowed hard.

"Of course, the Gene Alliance also has flesh-and-blood warships; they are the same thing and are interconnected."

"As a heavenly disaster, beast disasters can be said to be the most 'normal' kind of thing; at least when these things die, they truly die, and the meat can be eaten—if you're tough, try eating a worm child or a blood disaster."

"Then what if I die....."

Qiong still felt afraid; this thing looks wrong no matter how you look at it!

"You've already died once before, rest assured, you won't die."

"Oh right, a reminder: once you accept this transformation, you'll henceforth be my ship, not a free one."

"Do you agree on this point?"
