Chapter 1349: 441. Copy yer_2


    The electronic synthesized voice of thetter was cold and merciless, revealing a hint of cruelty:


    “You are all Undying, no need to worry about adverse reactions.”


    As soon as these words came out, a bad thought shed through the yers’ minds.


    Undying?


    What about being Undying?


    Did we consume your family’s rice?


    ...


    Just because we are Undying, doesn’t mean we don’t have to worry about adverse reactions.


    When we resurrect after dying, we still lose Experience points!


    Several yers’ eyes drifted toward the Laboratory’s Great Gate through which they had entered, obviously starting to consider an escape route.


    “I suddenly feel like Angel Enterprise Alliance is somewhat unreliable…”


    “Shall we just bolt…”


    “Let’s just try one Injection, if we don’t die, isn’t that a win.”


    As the yers hesitated, a “ding-dong” sounded, and a Task appeared.


    In the Task details, it said that to filter out yers suitable for intensive body modification, Angel Enterprise Alliance had arranged three rounds of injections for the yers.


    For surviving each round, a third of the Reward would be unlocked.


    If all three rounds were survived, the entire Task Reward would be unlocked, and yers would gain the opportunity for deep modification.


    However, if one were to die during these three rounds, apart from losing Experience, there would be no other losses.


    Whatever portion of the Task Reward that was unlocked would be kept; there would be no case of Rewards being retracted.


    As for what the Task Rewards were, that was for the yers to explore after the injection of Potions.


    Honestly speaking, yers were not afraid of death, only of dying meaninglessly.


    If this Task had been issued earlier, there would be no hesitation, just self-Injecting needle and done.


    The yers rolled up their sleeves, without saying a second word, aimed the nanoneedle at their forearms and stabbed down.


    Seeing others suddenly so proactive, the trio Cucumber Slice didn’t hesitate any longer.


    “How about we stab each other,” Winter Melon brother suggested:


    “I’ll stab the Captain, the Captain stabs Kelp, and Kelp stabs me.”


    Kelp chuckled:


    “If you put it that way, I feel it’s somewhat suggestive. After we’re done stabbing, what’s our rtionship?”


    Cucumber Slice’s mouth twitched slightly at thement.


    Winter Melon and Kelp brothers had only graduated from universityst year; the aura of naivety and simplicity had not entirely dissipated, asionally making some quirky remarks.


    Forget it, let them be.


    Cucumber Slice raised his hand and with a swoosh, inserted the needle into Kelp’s forearm.


    The three of them happily started stabbing each other.


    Inside the nano Injector was a miniature pressure pump.


    After the nanoneedle prated the skin, the mini pressure pump activated automatically, starting to push the liquid from the needle barrel into the yers’ bodies.


    With the liquid’s pration, a chilly sensation rapidly spread under the skin, quickly covering the entire arm and beginning to advance throughout the body.


    Once the liquid was fully pressed into the body, the miniature pressure pump stopped working, the nanoneedle retracted into the barrel, detached from the yers’ skin, and stopped Injecting.


    Every yer felt like they were walking in a blizzard, their bodies shivering coldly.


    “Chatter, chatter…” yers’ teeth ttered, bodies shivering, hands on shoulders, rubbing vigorously for warmth.


    The Cucumber Slice trio was no better off.


    Winter Melon brother, who specialized in the “Telekic Master,” had naturally weak physical constitution and soon curled up, squatting down into a ball.


    Kelp, who dabbled in “Sharp-eyed Marksman,” had a inclination towards perception, with a physique not much better, so before long, he too squatted down, curling up like a turtle.


    Cucumber Slice was in a slightly better condition, barely able to stand firmly, yet still clenched his fists tightly, his body taut in an effort to resist.


    “ng…”


    A crisp sound rang out as one yer’s body stiffened, falling to the Floor at an angle.


    The moment his body collided with the metal Floor, it actually made a sound as if iron had shed with gold.


    Upon closer inspection, this yer’s body was emanating an ice-blue hue from inside out, looking just like an ice sculpture freshly hauled from an Ice Cave.


    “Is he, he, he… dead, dead, dead…” a nearby yer stammered, shivering as they asked.


    Another person vigorously nodded his head up and down:


    “Yes, yes, yes… He’s definitely dead… I just got his message, he’s already resurrected inside the ship cabin…”


    The yers felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions solemn, without a trace of joking around.


    Cucumber Slice nced at the stiff corpse several times, feeling that something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it at the moment, so he could only turn to the brothers Winter Melon and Kelp, who were huddling together for warmth, and asked:


    “Hey, do you guys feel something’s not right?”


    “Where, where’s off?” x2


    Cucumber Slice nudged his chin toward the corpse, signaling hispanions to look carefully.


    Winter Melon and Kelp had a hard time turning their heads, staring at the corpse, but couldn’t make sense of it.


    The threemunicated through the chat window without speaking out loud.


    Theirmunication was being spied on by Nnd Lee from behind the scenes.


    Through Magic Vision, Nnd Lee observed the corpse for a moment, then pped his forehead and said:


    “That’s right, aren’t yers’ corpses supposed to disappear after they die? Why is this corpse still here?”


    From the game setting’s perspective, the automatic disappearance of yers’ corpses was to prevent them from using their ability to resurrect after death to quickly create corpses and gather flesh materials.


    From the viewpoint of Extraordinary Abilities, yer characters are Soul Constructs, and wherever a yer resurrects, their Soul Construct moves there. The so-called corpse disappears into nothingness and dissipates on its own at the moment of a yer’s resurrection.


    But now, although the yer had clearly been resurrected after death, why was his corpse still here?


    Nnd Lee felt increasingly uneasy.


    After pondering for a while, he called up the Game Interface and sent a message to the Order ne’s Core.


    Before long, the reply from the Order ne’s Core came.


    After reading it, Nnd Lee understood and looked at the corpse again, his eyes wary.


    The reason the corpse didn’t disappear was notplex; it was due to the effect of Gilenz’s space abilities at y.


    The potions injected into the yers contained a trace of Gilenz’s essence.


    This slight trace of essence wasn’t enough to grant the yers the Extraordinary Ability “Space Erasure,” but it was sufficient to leave behind their corpses without hindering the yers’ resurrection after death.


    Before the essence in the corpse dissipates, the same yer would possess two bodies.


    One is upied by the yer after resurrection.


    The other is the frozen stiff corpse.


    The formeres from the features of Soul Constructs, while thetter is a “replica” created by Angel Enterprise Alliance using Gilenz’s space abilities.


    “Space Copying,” another signature Extraordinary Power of Gilenz, was used by Angel Enterprise Alliance to copy yers’ Soul Constructs.


    What is Angel Enterprise Alliance trying to do?


    The Order ne’s Core offered its spection.


    “Angel Enterprise Alliance intends to create their own yers. They n to use Gilenz’s ‘Space Copying’ ability to acquire arge number of yer replicas and take control of them.”


    Nnd Lee frowned slightly and asked:


    “How soon do you estimate that yers created by Angel Enterprise Alliance will appear?”


    The Order ne’s Core typed back:


    “At least not within ten years will the Alliance’s created yers appear. Replicas of Soul Constructs are extremely difficult to control. The essence of Gilenz on the replicas will slowly dissipate and eventually vanish. When the essence fades, the replicas will be released from their bonds, and I will immediately disperse these replicas, preventing them from falling into the hands of the Alliance.”


    Nnd Lee felt slightly relieved.


    Looking through Magic Vision once more, he was doubtful whether these yers would survive the first round of injections.


    If Angel Enterprise Alliance was determined to use potions to obtain yer replicas, then none of the yers, including the trioprising Cucumber Slice, would be able to resist the erosion of Gilenz’s essence.


    To die from the cold, to fall frozen stiff to the ground, would be the end of every yer.


    But, was this really the case?


    Nnd Lee waited patiently, and soon the situation began to change.


    After struggling through ten tough minutes, the chill within the yers’ bodies gradually dissipated, and their bodies slowly regained sensation.


    Some of the higher-level Interster Warriors recovered noticeably faster; while others could only huddle their shoulders for warmth, they were already able to look around and observe others.


    After a while, even the trio including Cucumber Slice had recovered and no longer shivered uncontrobly from the cold.


    Nnd Lee nced at the corpse on the floor and quickly calcted.


    With this round of injections, the number of yers on the scene had just decreased by one-third.


    Fifteen fallen, thirty survived.
