As night fell, the base lights illuminated the busy figures moving about. Chen Rui and Lin Xi had just exited the medical room, their shoulders still bearing the marks of battle. The atmosphere within the base was tense, with everyone preparing for another round of offensive and defensive maneuvers.
"What does the Dark Current Organization intend to do?" Lin Xi broke the silence, his voice tinged with anger and confusion. "Are they developing the Abyss Warrior simply for military control, or do they have ulterior motives?"
Chen Rui lowered his head in thought for a moment before shaking it. "It's still unclear. However, the data we brought back should reveal some clues."
Just then, Director Zhao hurried over. His expression was grave as he held a document in his hand. "The Research Department has analyzed the data you brought back and discovered something unsettling."
"What’s going on?" Chen Rui asked.
Director Zhao handed over the document, his voice low. "These experiments are not merely aimed at creating super soldiers. They are researching a technology for consciousness invasion. According to the document, their goal is to completely digitize human consciousness and implant it into these mechanical beings."
Chen Rui opened the document and found detailed records of the core program architecture of the Abyss Warrior along with experimental cases. One photograph caught his attention: it depicted a young researcher being forcibly injected with some kind of device, after which his human body completely disintegrated. The experiment records indicated that this person's consciousness had been uploaded into a core module of an Abyss Warrior.
Lin Xi stared at the cold, hard text, his face turning pale. "This is insane! What do they want? To turn humans into these emotionless machines?"
"Perhaps they are not just trying to create soldiers," Director Zhao said, taking a deep breath. "More likely, they are attempting to control human life forms. Their aim is not just to command an army but to control the future."
As the three entered the command center, a video from the front lines was playing on the screen. In it, dozens of Abyss Warriors were engaged in combat with our defensive line. They exhibited not only astonishing firepower and defensive capabilities but also displayed a level of coordinated combat that was hard to believe.
"These things can't possibly operate at this level solely based on programming," Lin Xi said, fixated on the screen. "It’s as if someone is directing them."
And therein lies the problem. Director Zhao tapped on the screen, switching to another data analysis chart. The research team had just confirmed that these Abyss Warriors' coordination abilities likely stemmed from those whose consciousness had been uploaded. In other words, their tactical logic was no longer driven by mere artificial intelligence but by living human thought.
That statement detonated like a bomb in the air. Chen Rui furrowed his brow tightly. "Are you saying that those who were forcibly uploaded are still alive?"
"In a sense, yes," Director Zhao nodded. "Although their bodies have been destroyed, their consciousness still exists within these machines. What’s even more terrifying is that this consciousness continues to evolve and adapt to combat environments."
Lin Xi gasped in shock. "This is madness! We’re not just facing mechanical soldiers; we’re up against some kind of monster infused with human intelligence."
"Even worse is that these consciousnesses are gradually breaking free from control," Director Zhao said in a somber tone. "The Dark Current Organization underestimated their adaptability. According to intercepted internal records, they have already lost control over one Abyss Warrior. These machines have started acting independently, with some even turning against the Dark Current base."
Chen Rui sat aside, rubbing his temples as he tried to untangle the complex situation before him. He had never imagined that one day he would face an enemy that posed not only a technological threat but also challenged the very nature of human existence.
"So what do we do next?" Lin Xi asked.
Director Zhao pondered for a moment before responding. "There are currently two key points we must address: First, we need to stop Dark Current from continuing these experiments; second, we need to locate those out-of-control consciousnesses and prevent them from spreading further."
"But we don’t even know where they’re hiding," Lin Xi frowned. "Even if we find them, do we have a way to deal with them?"
"That’s why I need you to continue your mission," Director Zhao said, looking at Chen Rui with expectation and trust in his eyes. "Based on the data you brought back, we've pinpointed a location for an Experimental Base. This time, your task is to infiltrate there and gather more information about these rogue consciousnesses."
"Understood." Chen Rui nodded but added, "I’ll need stronger support; these enemies are no longer ordinary soldiers."
"The base will equip you with the best weapons and gear," Director Zhao assured him. "Additionally, I will send a researcher along with you who can analyze data on-site and help you locate your targets more quickly."
The mission preparation phase was tense yet orderly. Chen Rui checked the equipment, ensuring everything was in optimal condition. However, his heart was filled with complex emotions; this was not just a mission, but a confrontation with the unknown.
Lin Xi walked beside him and said softly, "This mission might be more dangerous than any we’ve faced before. Do you think we have a chance?"
Chen Rui paused his actions and looked at her, responding in a low voice, "I don’t know. But regardless of the outcome, we must try. This is not just our duty; it’s for those who have already lost their freedom."
Lin Xi nodded, tightening her grip on Wu Lan. "Then let’s fight to the end together."
The roar of the Rising Machine's engine broke the brief silence as the squad boarded, heading towards the battlefield. Their target was a secret Experimental Base hidden deep within an uninhabited area, where the fate of humanity might be concealed—or perhaps their own demise.
