Chapter 894 As soon as possible
The interior was filled with a pungent smell of ozone, like the sky before a storm. Emergency lights swayed on the ceiling, and in the interweaving of light and shadow, Lin Ye saw the wreckage of experimental equipment all over the floor, and wisps of green smoke were still coming out of the twisted metal pipes. He was rummaging through the ruins of the operating table, and his fingertips suddenly touched a cold metal box. The lid was engraved with his father's initials, and there were still a few fresh scratches on the edge, as if someone had tried to open it in a hurry. There was a sound of gears turning behind him, and Lin Ye's hair stood up instantly. At the same time, Lin Yuan was giving a speech at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, showing a case of a village in Africa using the ancient method of bronze books to rebuild the ecosystem. On the big screen, the once barren land is now green, and the villagers hold up pottery jars engraved with ancient symbols to the camera. As the audience applauded, his phone vibrated, and he received a message of safety from Aina, with a photo attached - under the morning sun, tribal warriors guarded the re-sealed entrance to the altar, and bronze bells flickered in the wind, like a string of stars guarding the plateau. Over the years, the wisdom of the bronze classics has gradually been integrated into modern civilization. The ancient ice crack observation method is used to monitor glaciers in the Himalayas, and the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest work with scientists to restore the ecological balance model in the classics. On the Pamir Plateau, Aina and Batur's tribes have become beacons of ancient civilization. They receive researchers from all over the world, but always adhere to one principle: any exploration must be based on respect for nature. Lin Yuan often returns to the plateau and stands beside the ruins of the former altar. It is now full of unknown blue and purple flowers. Every full moon night, the petals will emit a faint fluorescence, like a bronze code scattered in the world. He understands that this adventure has never really ended. The mottos engraved in the classics and the guardian spirit flowing in the blood of the plateau will always guide the direction of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. When the sunset covered the snow-capped mountains with red gauze, he seemed to hear his father's voice whispering in the wind again: the real treasure is to keep the fire of civilization alive. The air conditioner outside the Cairo International Airport made a dying roar in the 40-degree high temperature. The wind from the air outlet was wrapped in sand and dust, falling on the back of Lin Ye's neck, mixing with sweat to form salty mud stains. He took off his sunglasses and wiped the mist on the lenses. Outside the glass curtain wall, the heat wave distorted the outline of the plane on the tarmac, as if the whole world was melting. The mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated, which seemed particularly abrupt in the noisy waiting hall. Lin Ye took out his mobile phone, and a string of unfamiliar numbers jumped on the screen. The moment he answered the phone, a mechanical female voice sounded without emotion: "Dr. Lin, the coordinates of the Sahara restricted area have been sent, and your father's laboratory is there." "Wait!" Lin Ye spoke anxiously, but the other end of the phone had already hung up. He stared at the red dot that suddenly appeared on the map on his mobile phone, and his throat tightened. The scene from three years ago flooded into his mind uncontrollably: when the international rescue team found his father's remains in the Sahara Desert, the edge of the blood-stained notebook was still covered with black scabs, and the words "Nano Devourer" were repeatedly written in red pen on the title page, and the handwriting was scratched by excessive force. "Mr. Lin?" A hoarse voice came from behind. Lin Ye turned around, and the man wrapped in a blue and white headscarf had stood behind him without knowing when, his hawk-like eyes were hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see his expression. Behind the man was a modified desert off-road vehicle, with shockproof boxes piled in the cargo box, and radiation warning signs on the box body, which glowed strangely in the sun. "I am Abdul, your guide." The man stretched out his hand, his palms were covered with calluses, and there were dark red sand grains between his fingers, "We have to leave as soon as possible, the sandstorm in the restricted area can come at any time." The off-road vehicle rolled over the hot gravel, and the tires rubbed against the ground, giving off a burnt smell. Lin Ye sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the radiation detector on the dashboard that was jumping wildly. The piercing beeping made his temples throb. Abdul drove in silence, the wind noise poured into the car window, tearing his voice intermittently: "There are still 20 kilometers to the border of the restricted area. Three years ago, there was a radiation leak here, and now it is a military restricted area." He paused, reached out to turn off the alarm, "But don't worry, the radiation... has mutated." Lin Ye's fingers subconsciously clenched the backpack straps. In the hidden pocket inside the backpack, his father's notebook was poking his ribs. Half a chip was sandwiched between the yellowed pages, and the structure of the nanorobot was etched on the surface of the chip. Those precise lines overlapped in his memory with the faint implant marks on Abdul's neck in front of him. "Do you know the 'Hive' plan?" Lin Ye suddenly spoke. Abdul's hands tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles turned white: "Dr. Lin, the less you know about some things, the longer you live." When the sunset dyed the sand dunes blood red, the barbed wire fence appeared at the end of the field of vision. A faded warning sign was hung on the rusted iron net, and the words "Radiation Danger" were blurred by the wind and sand. Abdul stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle crashed through the iron gate. In the dust, Lin Ye seemed to see countless silver particles flashing in the sand mist, like broken diamonds scattered by the god of the desert. Behind the ridgeline in the distance, a huge dome building slowly emerged. Its surface was covered with a honeycomb-like metal structure, which glowed with a strange purple light in the twilight. The hexagonal grids seemed like the scales of some creature. As the off-road vehicle approached, it rose and fell faintly like breathing. "That's the Hive Lab." Abdul's voice trembled. "After your father disappeared, all communication equipment failed here. Satellite images show that it has..." His words were interrupted by a sudden vibration. The ground rose and fell like boiling water. The off-road vehicle was shaking violently. The dashboard burst into flames instantly. The flames illuminated the terrified expression on Abdul's face. Lin Ye smashed the car window and climbed out. The hot air rushed into his lungs, carrying the smell of burning metal. He squinted his eyes and saw countless silver particles drilling out from the sand, gathering into a torrent like a living thing. Those particles reorganized in mid-air and turned into a three-meter-high mechanical giant wolf. Its blue eyes flashed with the light of electronic pulses, and every blink was accompanied by the click of gears. "Nano cluster!" Lin Ye's back hit the hot car body, and the records in his father's notebook exploded in his mind. These micro-machines that should have been controlled under the microscope in the laboratory now showed terrible life characteristics. The giant wolf opened its huge mouth full of gears, and the sonic attack made his eardrums hurt. His nose was filled with the smell of rust, which was the metal debris produced by the high-speed friction of the nanorobots. At the critical moment, Abdul threw out an electromagnetic pulse bomb.
