Chapter 1 Approaching Kuangxi Island

A ship sailed on the sea, slowly approaching Kuangxi Island.

This ship did not carry any food, steel, or other materials, but a very special "cargo"!

The ship's cabin was a huge laboratory. Many adult Meng Shi (mecha soldiers) walked through the laboratory. Hundreds of operating tables, resembling biological pods, were arranged in the cabin. The captured Kuangfeng (Stormwind) Followers were lying on them like corpses, their skulls forcibly split open, and the nerves connecting the brain and body were violently destroyed.

Just like how Kuangxi Island used to restrict Han Han's actions, except the methods used on these Followers were more violent and direct.

"Cabin 72, nerve activity stable, vital signs stable, no signs of recovery, 6 minutes and 23 seconds until the next nerve self-healing reconnection..."

"Cabin 76..."

The cold electronic sound echoed in the cabin.

Holding syringes and special alloy knives, the adult Meng Shi walked in front of each bio-pod, injecting drugs that suppressed self-healing ability into the Followers' split-open brains, and cutting open the slowly self-healing brain nerves again.

They were programmed to repeat this work continuously until the Followers were transported to Kuangxi Island.

...

Pain.

Intense pain.

This kind of pain seemed to come from the depths of the soul, making it impossible to escape or weaken.

In the countless years of Grel's life, this degree of pain was also unprecedented. He could perceive that his body was out of his brain's control. No matter how he tried, he couldn't move even a small finger!

His consciousness was gradually awakening, but the more awake he became, the stronger the feeling of pain became.

He could hear the mechanical electronic sounds around him, as well as the sound of footsteps similar to the sound of steel machinery moving on the ground. Even his vision began to slowly break free from the darkness, and light appeared.

He tried to open his eyes. What appeared in front of him was like countless mixed three-dimensional images. These three-dimensional images were constantly rotating and confusing. As time passed, these images slowly stabilized.

No, to be precise, it was not that these images stabilized, but that his pupils were focusing!

Grel suddenly remembered that he was attacked by a mecha Meng Shi before losing consciousness, so he should be... captured now?

As a second-stage evolved being, he was actually captured by a low-level first-stage evolved being?

Grel felt a little angry.

As a second-stage evolved being, he could allow himself to die in the war against human civilization, but he could not tolerate being captured!

This was a humiliation for him!

And most importantly, he didn't know why Li Tianran wanted to capture him. If he wanted to retaliate against the Kuangfeng Apostle's crazy attacks on human freighters, wouldn't it be better to just kill them directly?

Grel couldn't understand, but he didn't have the mind to ponder Li Tianran's thoughts now. He could perceive that since his consciousness slowly awakened, the control of his body was returning to his hands step by step.

He tried to move his finger. Although it was still a little disobedient, at least he could make a slight bending motion.

This was a good sign.

According to this situation, he could return to his peak state in at most three minutes.

"Cabin 88 shows no signs of recovery..."

The cold electronic sound continued to echo in the cabin.

The adult Meng Shi walked mechanically between the berths, seemingly unaware of Grel's abnormality.

"Those stupid robots don't seem to have noticed that I've awakened?" An incredible thought welled up in Grel's mind. "Could it be that I was overlooked?"

This was an excellent opportunity!

Because of the strong physique of second-stage evolved beings, when controlling second-stage evolved beings, the human world usually doesn't choose to use steel cables, alloy chains, and other methods to restrict physical activity, because the cost is too high and the instability is too strong!

Humans would choose to destroy the brain nerves to turn the body of the second-stage evolved being into something similar to a vegetative state.

So, at this time, Grel's body was not restricted in any way!

As long as his brain nerves and body were completely self-healed and reconnected, it would be equivalent to completely regaining his freedom.

When he realized this, Grel began to consciously control his emotions, not allowing himself to show excitement or joy. He couldn't be sure whether there were devices in this cabin that could detect subtle brainwave fluctuations. In this case, he could only make himself look no different from his companions.

He began to silently count down, intentionally controlling his genetic power not to repair the conspicuous, split-open skull, but only to connect the inconspicuous nerves in the brain.

For a powerful second-stage evolved being, even if the skull was broken, it wouldn't have much impact as long as it wasn't a vital defect. It wouldn't weaken his combat power at all.

As long as the brain nerve repair was completed, he could return to his peak!

God seemed to favor Grel very much.

Two minutes passed continuously, and his abnormality was still not noticed by any adult Meng Shi. The degree of repair of his brain nerves had reached more than 70%. His hands, feet, and limbs could move freely, and his evolutionary abilities could be used again.

"Just give me another thirty seconds, thirty seconds, and my wings will recover..." Grel roared in his heart.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye an adult-level Meng Shi walking towards his berth. The adult Meng Shi stopped in front of his berth, glanced at the detector connected to Grel's brain next to him, and suddenly issued a piercing alarm.

"Intense mental activity detected in Cabin 106, the degree of self-healing of brain nerves is 72%, and consciousness has awakened!"

As the piercing alarm sounded, the entire cabin was shrouded in dazzling red warning lights, and a large number of adult-level Meng Shi surged towards Grel like a tide.

"Crush!" Knowing that he could no longer continue to pretend, Grel stretched out his big hand and violently tore off the detection pointer stuck in his brain, and then charged forward like a rhino!

Boom boom boom!

In the tide of adult-level Meng Shi, Grel violently smashed out a straight passage. His eyes were full of anger and resentment, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, frantically tearing apart a large number of adult-level Meng Shi, and smashing the instruments that had pierced into his companions' brains into dust!

"Alarm! Alarm! An out-of-control accident has occurred in the cabin where the Followers are held!"

With Grel's escape, a loud alarm sounded throughout the ship.

...

On Kuangxi Island, Li Tianran asked Qin Yiming, "How is the matter I asked you to do going?"

Qin Yiming smiled and nodded, "Reporting to the boss..."

"Everything is going smoothly!"
