Chapter 676: Run!

Zhang Jie basically figured out their purpose; essentially, they are a super bacteria with extremely strong drug resistance.

From a macroscopic perspective, they will never lose, because even if the humans here can't defeat the outside things, it doesn't matter.

If they lose, higher-dimensional energy will cleanse the ground; if they win, there's no need to mention it.

But for him, this is far from being a perfect ending.

"What is that Mother God?"

"Is there any way... or rather, is there a method to eliminate its will?"

"Mother God?"

"Wait, by the way, did you get something wrong?"

Zhang Jie:?

"What do you mean? Isn't that what you just said?"

"You are the spark, that's correct, but you are merely the spark."

"What I truly want to cultivate is a new civilization's fire, ignited by using the spark."

"That is, the mimic you speak of, the Mother God you speak of."

Zhang Jie:....

"Grafting flowers onto trees?"

"Using the spark of civilization, culture, ideology, has it already been grafted onto a new race?"

"Then why still call me the savior?"

The other's eyes narrowed again with pleasure, as if thinking of something that satisfied him.

"Because you are important, very important, determining whether my plan will succeed or not."

Zhang Jie grew more doubtful of his words, but even if he asked more, the evil god didn't bother with him; finally, he simply closed his eyes and said nothing.

He had no choice but to return to the mother star, but for him, this amount of information was already enough to explode.

The mimic population is the perfect life, most suited to inherit everything of humanity.

Upon careful thought, an existence like Qi Yu, even if beaten into a pulp, can still revive; this situation is naturally stronger than humans.

Moreover, they can almost painlessly absorb higher-dimensional energy; thus, we must admit they are perfect beings.

"But....."

"If the mimics win, what will happen to humanity then?"

"Master! I finally found you!"

It's Lei Na, she came again to bring Zhang Jie his meal.

"What's wrong, Master? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Jie:....

If he fails, not only him, but also Lei Na, his own family, will become tools of the mimics.

"Nothing."

"Legendary Investigator, perhaps, will be the last hope."

"The mimics' combat power is growing stronger; even experienced elite guards find it strenuous to face a single mimic, let alone their reproduction speed comparable to that of insects."

"And afterward, there hasn't been any other timeline's Old Zhang coming to cause trouble; it seems something is suppressing their behavior."

"But this is completely bad news for you; without other Old Zhangs arriving here, the Legendary Investigator seems hopelessly distant, and the minimum estimated pollution intensity you need is no less than a billion."

"This is still considered a low estimate; you once again feel the scarcity of pollution."

"However, you'll soon be unable to think about all this, because the god of anomalies has also joined the front; now anomalies are no longer born from crowds or forbidden zones."

"Anomalies now truly descend from the sky! The original S-rank mimics have almost all been replaced by updated anomalies, and the former 'civilian-killer' flesh-and-blood rainbow has been directly upgraded on the spot."

"Now even the chief, if they accidentally touch that thing, will run into trouble, let alone others."

"Now the mother star is entirely a human Fierce Prison; no one can stay out of it, including you."

"However, the only benefit is that areas taken over by mimics don't need humans to guard them; in order to keep those captive humans, the mimics are practically busy nonstop."

"And this strange disaster, however you look at it, seems like the commotion caused by that evil god's artificial intelligence; facts prove your guess was correct."

"The evil god's main body is on Cloud Star; it was when humans began colonizing Cloud Star after exploring it that they discovered the relics of a previous civilization, and it's unknown which lowly creature activated the evil god, releasing the pollution, leading to this situation."

"You suspect that the evil god is like this, repeatedly cultivating civilizations, sleeping while they develop, and once they explore here, it has already proven they have the capacity to bear the experiment."

"And the mimics are actually his fixed-release product at a certain stage."

"Age 29: Resistance to anomalies has lasted over half a year; you've been running around resisting anomalies everywhere, because you realized that relying on you alone cannot break the evil god's plan."

"And you have also become the most diligent Forbidden Permit; those few old-timers of the old guard haven't even shown their faces, not knowing what they're doing all day."

"During this period, you have clashed with the Mother God hundreds of times, colliding on average every two days; I don't know if it's bad luck or if she's doing it on purpose."

"The Mother God's strength has increased extremely quickly; in the first few encounters you could still press her down, but later it became evenly matched, which actually also relates to you becoming more restrained."

"You began to fear injury, fearing that like last time, you'd lose important people after a nap, yet you again relentlessly backtrack, not wanting any tragedy to happen before you."

"Unbeknownst to you, your hair has already turned more than half white; people often mention your hair, and you just smile it off."

"Moreover, you have once again gathered those who once followed Si Luo behind him, letting them restart the experiment; you need these researchers, but your starting point differs from Si Luo's."

"He is for his own ascension, while you are for the survival of all humanity."

"Your blood began to be drawn off tube by tube; those who once served under Si Luo could usually only get a few drops of your blood each time, treating them as treasures, saying they're more precious than gold."

"At first they were flattered and even fearful, but they discovered they were narrow-minded."

"Your starting point truly is for the sake of humanity's great cause, to achieve that everyone can use the all-powerful, no-taboo ability! They admire you extraordinarily."

"Thus, the experiment's progress began to skyrocket; that strange substance once seen in tragedy, extracted from your body, is now emerging at a visible speed."

"Your bodily decline has further worsened; now Lei Na, whenever she comes before you, stares at you with heartache, and of course Qi Yu also watches your actions."

"Of course, you don't know that Qi Yu is still around, and today you inexplicably received an invitation from that bunch of old-timers."

It says above: "We have seen what you have done, and we highly recognize your spirit, but we still sincerely invite you to come to the Abnormal Bureau headquarters to discuss the 'escape' plan."

You're already exhausted, right? Then why not put everything down, just once, be a deserter? Escape this place, like them...

(Weedy Lake! Godfathers! The physical book is now on the shelves! You can find it on all major store platforms, including the content of the first two simulations!)

(The title is: Life Simulation, to rush into fire with this body!)

(Additionally, to thank the godfathers for their support, Renshen will randomly select five godfathers to send out physical books! Renshen's finances are limited, so for now we can only send this many; godfathers who need it can sign up in this comment section!)
