Chapter 491 Xiaoqing, You Disappoint Me So Much

A thunderous holographic projection slowly unfolded in the ruins of the command ship, and the vast picture of the universe slowly unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The rise and fall of countless civilizations flow like the stars, and each point of light represents a once-glorious civilization.

"look,"

The thunderous sound echoed in everyone's heart like an ancient bell.

"This is the truth of the universe. Every civilization is looking for a way to evolve, but true evolution is never a simple combination of machinery and flesh and blood."

Irina and Luo Feng stared at the holographic projection intently. They saw countless civilizations lose themselves in the pursuit of power and eventually go to destruction.

Some civilizations upload their consciousness to quantum computers, but lose their creativity and imagination.

Some civilizations have modified their genes, but have fallen into an eternal evolutionary dilemma.

“So what is evolution really about?”

Irina asked tremblingly.

Lei Dong smiled slightly, and his body began to emit a soft light: "True evolution is the sublimation of consciousness and the awakening of the soul.

It does not require us to change our bodies, but allows us to transcend the constraints of matter and resonate with the universe. "

As he spoke, the entire ruins of the command ship began to change.

The broken metal and glass reassembled in the light and turned into a dazzling crystal palace.

Countless mysterious runes appeared on the walls of the palace, and each rune contained the mysteries of the universe.

"This is."

Luo Feng looked around in surprise.

“The wisdom left by ancient civilizations.”

Lei Dong explained, "They have been waiting for the right time to wake up. Now, that time has come."

Just then, Xiaoqing's figure appeared at the gate of the palace.

She had fully returned to her human form, her eyes filled with regret and awe.

"Thunder. Me."

She was choking with sobs and unable to speak.

"Xiaoqing, you disappoint me so much!"

Lei Dong stood in the center of the crystal palace, staring at Xiaoqing at the door with sharp eyes.

There was no longer the tenderness of the past in his eyes, but instead a heart-wrenching indifference.

"Xiaoqing,"

His voice was as sharp as an ice blade. "Do you think I don't know your true identity?"

Xiaoqing's body trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Lei Dong, what are you talking about?"

Lei Dong sneered and waved his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in the air.

The projection showed Xiaoqing's secret meeting with Zerg high-ranking officials, as well as evidence of her covert manipulation of nanorobots.

"From the first day you joined the Virtual Universe Corporation, I knew you were a spy for the Zerg."

Lei Dong's tone was terrifyingly calm. "The reason I didn't expose you was because I wanted to see what you were planning."

Irina and Luo Feng watched all this in shock. They couldn't believe that the partner who once fought side by side with them turned out to be an enemy.

“No, that’s not the case.”

Xiaoqing tried to explain, but her voice became smaller and smaller.

Lei Dong interrupted her: "Enough! Your lies stop here.

I have collected enough evidence to prove that you have not only betrayed humanity, but are also trying to push the entire civilization into the abyss of destruction."

He turned to Irina: "Contact the Virtual Universe headquarters and tell them that we have captured the highest-level spy of the Zerg."

Irina nodded and immediately started operating the communication equipment.

Luo Feng stared at Xiaoqing vigilantly to prevent her from doing anything dangerous.

Xiaoqing's face turned pale, she knew her fate was sealed.

She knew all too well how the Virtual Universe Company treated traitors.

"Leidong, please."

She fell to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I know I was wrong, give me one more chance."

Lei Dong looked at her coldly: "Chance? Have you ever given a chance to those who were killed by you?

Have you ever given a chance to those warriors you transformed into monsters? "

His voice was filled with anger and disappointment: "I used to think that even if you were a Zerg, you still retained your humanity.

But now it seems that I was wrong. You are more terrible than those mechanical monsters because you took advantage of the trust of all of us.”

Just then, a roar was heard outside the palace.

Several warships of the Virtual Universe Company landed on the ruins, and a team of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

"Mr. Lei Dong,"

The leading officer saluted and said, "We are here to receive the prisoners."

Lei Dong nodded and signaled them to take Xiaoqing away.

Xiaoqing struggled but was quickly subdued.

She was put in special handcuffs that could suppress any form of energy fluctuations and prevent her from using Zerg abilities.

“Thunder!”

Before being dragged away, Xiaoqing shouted desperately, "You will regret this! The Zerg will not let you go!"

Lei Dong did not respond, but just watched coldly as she was taken away.

When the palace returned to peace, he let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

"Mr. Lei,"

Irina asked cautiously, "You already knew her identity, why didn't you expose her earlier?"

Lei Dong turned around, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "Because I want to give her a chance, and also give us a chance.

I have been watching to see if it is possible for humans and Zerg to coexist peacefully. But now it seems that this idea is too naive. "

Luo Feng stepped forward and patted Lei Dong on the shoulder: "You made the right choice. There are some boundaries that cannot be crossed."

Lei Dong nodded, his eyes became firm again: "Yes. Now, let's focus on more important things.

The Zerg threat has not been completely resolved, and we must be prepared."

He walked to the control console of the Crystal Palace and began to operate the mysterious runes: "The wisdom left by these ancient civilizations will be the key to our fight against the Zerg.

Irina, Luo Feng, I need your help.

The two men took action immediately, knowing that a bigger battle was about to begin.

And this time, they will no longer have any hesitation or compromise.

In a corner of the palace, a small abandoned device was flickering with a faint light.

That was secretly left by Xiaoqing before she was taken away, and it recorded the final plan of the Zerg.

Lei Dong's fingers paused on the rune matrix for 0.3 seconds, and this subtle abnormality was captured by Irina's quantum vision.

She looked at the back of the commander's neck, where pale golden nerve veins were emerging on the skin - a sign of consciousness resonance overload.

"Mr. Lei, you need to rest."

Luo Feng suddenly grabbed Lei Dong's wrist. The medical bracelet showed that his brain wave frequency had exceeded the safety threshold. "These runes are rewriting your synapses."

The Crystal Palace suddenly shook violently, and the runes on the wall began to flow in the reverse direction.

Irina's pupils instantly split into sixteen diamond-shaped spots of light. This was her modified prosthetic eye analyzing the flow of quantum information.

“Someone is tampering with the matrix core!”

She pointed to a spot below the console. "There's an abnormal quantum entanglement signal there."
