After entering the Mother Body’s attack range, Lang Shiyi activated the device He Wen had given him, preparing to connect to the Mother Body’s weapons and destroy those things.
Yan Leyang remained quiet throughout, sitting still and watching Lang Shiyi.
The moment the device received the signal, Lang Shiyi was essentially locked in combat with the Mother Body: “We’ve exposed our location, and the Mother Body might send people to kill us.”
“I’m not afraid.” Yan Leyang had a mysterious confidence. “No one can get the better of me.” Yan Leyang’s eyes sparkled. “I’ll smash their heads.”
His wife needed his protection, and Yan Leyang firmly believed that he was the only man who could bring his spouse a sense of security.
“Indeed, as expected of a man with honey badger blood,” Lang Shiyi nodded. “Then let’s split up for now.”
“Huh?” Yan Leyang was stunned. “I’ll protect you.”
“We can contact each other,” Lang Shiyi said, pointing to the ear clip on his ear. “But the armory and the Mother Body’s main body aren’t in the same location. Can you manage alone?”
“Huh?” Before Yan Leyang could respond, Lang Shiyi continued, “I’ll take the mecha and go get a small starship?”
“Awooo?” Yan Leyang originally wanted to talk about how to build a small starship, but in his haste, coupled with his poor language skills, he couldn’t get the words out and instead let out a roar that sounded like a beast.
While they were talking, a fleet of stars could be seen approaching in the distance on the monitor.
Lang Shiyi pressed the mode modification button, allowing Yan Leyang to empathize with the mecha, while he himself was directly teleported out… without wearing any protective suit, he was directly teleported into space.
Yan Leyang’s pupils suddenly dilated: “Shiyi…”
“I’m fine,” Lang Shiyi’s voice came through, a transparent protective shield pressed against his skin. “Proceed according to my location.”
“Ugh.” Yan Leyang was very anxious. “What should we do now?”
“Destroy them.” Lang Shiyi’s body underwent three modifications while he was with He Wen, further enhancing his strength and attack power. “Or dismantle the energy source of their starship and send it to the Alliance for punishment.”
Yan Leyang had never actually killed anyone, so Lang Shiyi estimated he…
Bang!
The sudden loud noise attracted Lang Shiyi’s attention. He turned his head and found that one of the five main ships had been blown up, and the culprit was obviously Yan Leyang.
The main ship wasn’t meant for charging ahead; Yan Leyang was essentially bypassing the surrounding starships… Such speed? Is that reasonable?
After looking at it, Lang Shiyi quickly looked away. Lang Shiyi nodded, and then, while everyone’s attention was drawn to Yan Leyang, he hijacked a mecha. When Lang Shiyi entered the single-person mecha, the person inside didn’t even react.
Since the alarm didn’t sound, the guy inside, whose attribute was unknown, just stared blankly at the monitor: “Damn, this is terrifying. Is this still an orc mech?”
“I didn’t expect him to be so amazing.” Lang Shiyi felt a strange sense of pride when he heard someone praising Yan Leyang.
“Right, you think so too?” The guy turned his head, paused when he saw Lang Shiyi, and then gasped. He looked at Lang Shiyi, and at the same time, Lang Shiyi was looking at him.
The older man gasped, “Brother, who are you?”
About five seconds later, he was put in a protective suit and thrown out.
“Wife, wife.” Yan Leyang’s voice rang out, and Lang Shiyi couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips upward. “I’m here. I saw you. You’re amazing.”
“No.” Yan Leyang scratched his head. “There’s no one in here.”
Nobody was there? Lang Shiyi suddenly understood why Yan Leyang dared to blow up the starship directly— there was no living creature inside…
“Then you go to the base first. Go in through port 0086.” Lang Shiyi paused here, “Go straight in and put away your mech.” Yan Leyang had already been hit, but because of the human blood in his body, he was immune to the attack.
“Okay.” Yan Leyang didn’t ask why, perhaps because his language skills were really not good at the moment. “Then good luck, wife.”
“Okay.” Lang Shiyi looked at the equipment in his hand and sent a message to He Wen and the others: [Give me an hour, I can handle these weapons.]
Wow! Hutch couldn’t help but whistle when he saw the news, which made everyone around him turn to look at him. Hutch shrugged: “He has the protagonist’s halo.”
“He is indeed a genius.” Eleph nodded in agreement, “but I’m more concerned about how we should get through this hour.”
“Oh, they’re here.” A high-ranking Zerg general also arrived at the command room. This one seemed to be some kind of beetle. Hutch and the others didn’t know, since the Zerg and the orcs didn’t have much contact.
The beetle general clicked his tongue: “Human weapons are too terrifying. Our Zerg brothers are dying in droves.”
The female anglerfish, who arrived later, rolled her eyes: “A lot of them did die, but I don’t see how sad you are?”
“We Zerg have a lot of offspring.” The Beetle General stroked his chin, pondering his words. “And also… there’s no need for those worker bees and soldier ants to be remembered.”
The beetle looked the anglerfish up and down: “Don’t talk about us, ma’am. It’s as if we’re some kind of madman. Didn’t your previous partners also attach themselves to you? Even though they’ve degenerated to the point where only their testes are left.”
Seeing that the two were about to fight, He Wen quickly stopped them: “Stop fighting amongst yourselves, let’s just hold on for this hour.”
“The cat people went to my base to retrieve weapons,” He Wen reminded them.
Relying solely on these troops to employ human wave tactics was certainly not advisable; a single cannon shot from the enemy could wipe them all out, and they wouldn’t be able to hold them off for long.
“Are Yan Leyang and his team reliable enough?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ve come all this way.” Hutch looked at the man who asked the question. “The Mother Body wants to resurrect humans but also wants us to turn back into animals. Everyone knows how serious this is, and we have no choice but to believe.”
Yan Leyang may have really been influenced by the honey badger bloodline. He blew up five main ships and then didn’t engage in direct combat with the other fleets, or rather, he scared them off.
After all, those piloting the mechs weren’t directly controlled, so they were still afraid. No one dared to drive a mech and confront Yan Leyang head-on; even if they did, they couldn’t keep up with his speed.
Piloting this mecha required no skill; it was a mental link, and the mecha was essentially equivalent to Yan Leyang’s body.
After skillfully dodging multiple attacks, Yan Leyang landed at Port 0086.
This base was suspended in space and was extremely large, like an artificial planet, except that its shape was not very regular, like a long sword without a handle stuck in an alien spaceship.
Enveloped in a protective shield around the base, Yan Leyang put away his mecha after landing and discovered that there was indeed oxygen in the port.
Yan Leyang walked to the entrance and faced the synthetic metal door with a troubled expression. This thing looked very thick… He wasn’t sure he could break through it.
“Old…hey.” Yan Leyang was about to ask his all-powerful wife for help when he suddenly heard a ding, and then the door opened.
A virtual projection popped up beside him, showing a strikingly stylish woman with long, flowing blue hair, blue eyes, and a sexy bodysuit, but her expression was utterly blank: “Welcome home.”
Yan Leyang was stunned for a moment. He looked left and right before he realized that the other person was talking about him: “Wife?” He was a little confused. He had no memory of this family at all.
“Hmm, it might be because of your human bloodline. Don’t be afraid, go in and take a look,” Lang Shiyi encouraged.
Without showing any fear, Yan Leyang nodded solemnly to the semi-transparent phantom before swaggering into the base.
….
“Yan Leyang has come in.” Zhou Jiu could see the surveillance footage. He watched as the main gate of Port 0086 opened directly, and even the gates behind it opened one by one as Yan Leyang entered.
“You’re finished.” Zhou Jiu said with a hint of schadenfreude, “Once he enters the base, you won’t be able to attack him. So even if this guy tries to assassinate him, it will trigger your automatic defense mechanism, and Yan Leyang won’t die.”
“And you can’t resist his orders.” Zhou Jiu laughed.
[Perhaps that’s true.] The mother body didn’t seem to be in much pain, [but nothing is absolute.]
As soon as the mother body finished speaking, Yan Leyang in the surveillance footage suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Jiu frowned: “What did you do? Your program…”
“I can’t hurt him, and I won’t hurt him. I’m protecting him,” the Mother said matter-of-factly. “I determined that he’s in a state of extreme mental stress, so I’m letting him rest, just like you were back then, Zhou Jiu.”
Zhou Jiu remembered that whenever he was tired, he would always ask the Mother Body to let him relax in the virtual “human world”. At that time, Zhou Jiu, who still thought he was human, had a strange sense of belonging to that virtual world.
As Zhou Jiu watched Yan Leyang being dragged into the nutrient tank, he felt inexplicably annoyed, even though he didn’t particularly like Yan Leyang.
Before Zhou Jiu could speak, the lights throughout the base began to flicker erratically.
This shouldn’t be happening. Zhou Jiu suddenly looked at the Matrix device in his room: “Is there a problem with your energy source?”
It’s not that there’s a problem with the energy source; the main body hasn’t responded.
He invaded Yan Leyang’s memories and then saw something incredible.
The Matrix’s processing speed was extremely fast. Originally, the Matrix did not believe in the existence of parallel universes, after all, the Matrix possessed the most advanced technology in this world.
But Yan Leyang’s memories proved that all of this existed, and that Yan Leyang’s human bloodline did not belong to this world.
No, perhaps it was not a parallel universe either. This world… all of this was just a novel from another world?!
Yan Leyang felt as if he had inexplicably regained his senses and then saw his parents.
He woke up in his hospital bed. His mother was very gentle, and his father was very reliable.
His mother gently asked him how he was doing, telling him he had slept for a long time. Her tearful expression seemed to have an added layer of maternal love.
Then, having worked as a screenwriter and being familiar with this kind of old trick, Yan Leyang decisively pulled out an acupuncture needle, went straight to the top floor, and jumped off.
Trying to trap me with the past? No way!
“Shiyi!!” Yan Leyang woke up with a start from the nutrient tank and quickly climbed out.
“You can hear me?!” Lang Shiyi on the other end was startled by the commotion. “How are you feeling now?”
“It’s alright.” Yan Leyang touched his chest. The feeling of weightlessness after jumping was quite uncomfortable. “I think the mother body might be the one who can’t handle it now.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the flickering light above his head: “Its values may have been shattered by me.”
After all, the Mother Body had been lonely for so long, working tirelessly for humanity. If she knew was that it was all just a plot device, and all her suffering was because a certain novel needed such a “villain”… then the Mother Body would probably turn evil.
As the lights flickered more and more intensely, Yan Leyang became even more certain: “Shiyi, be careful, the Mother Body may have turned evil.”
“What do you mean?” Lang Shiyi asked him on the other end, still a little confused.
“Exactly, I feel like she might be spying on my memories.” Yan Leyang scratched his head. “If it can’t accept it, it’s going to break down.”
After all, the Mother Body hadn’t had a good life either. Yan Leyang closed his eyes and said, “Shiyi, you hold on for now. I’ll go and find a way to shut down the Mother Body.”
“What’s wrong?” Lang Shiyi asked, puzzled.
“Well, you’re the main character.” Yan Leyang took a deep breath. “I reckon you… are pretty much the target of a lot of hatred.”
After all, the novel revolved around Lang Shiyi, and if the Mother Body really invaded Yan Leyang’s consciousness, it would know that Yan Leyang was not the original author at all, but just a screenwriter involved in the film and television adaptation.
Since the hatred can’t be directed at Yan Leyang, it can only be directed at Lang Shiyi. After all, he’s just a screenwriter, not the original author; how much can you really hate him?
On the contrary, Lang Shiyi, as the protagonist, after all the Mother Body and the many villains are only there for the sake of helping Lang Shiyi grow in the end.
Yan Leyang thought about it again. The original text didn’t even mention a second part. In this world, Lang Shiyi seemed to have missed all the villains… and all his romantic interests because he was following him.
The only one, Luo Ma, well, let’s not even mention her.
“Mother Body!” Yan Leyang tried to call out, but Mother Body ignored him.
Presumably, some kind of rule was used to block him, and Yan Leyang ran along the route that Lang Shiyi had given him.
The doors along the way could hardly stop him.
Until Yan Leyang met a woman.
Yan Leyang had seen this woman before; she was the one who had once flirted with Luo Ma.
“Long time no see.” The woman with the high ponytail nodded to Yan Leyang.
Yan Leyang ignored her and rammed into her without any mercy, sending her flying.
He didn’t want a heated battle, or to listen to this woman recount her tragic past. His wife was in danger, and all he had to do was shut down the mother body.
