Jiang Chen Tong held the bio-detector in one hand and the flashlight in the other. He bent down and walked down the stairs carefully.

The bio-detector could detect life forms, which was one of the methods Jiang Chentong used to detect the Extreme Devouring Beast.

However, other than the life detector, the black blade on his waist could also sense the existence of the Extreme Devouring Beast. Once the black blade sensed the Extreme Devouring Beast or danger, it would vibrate slightly and display the level of the Extreme Devouring Beast.

If there was only one white Spirit Seal, it would represent the lowest form of the pan-growth type. Two yellow Spirit Seals represented the transmutation type, and so on, purple represented the commander type, black represented the monarch type, and red represented the king type.

Therefore, before Jiang Chentong picked up the bio-detector, he had relied on the detection function of the black knife to avoid or kill the Extreme Devouring Beast. Although he did not understand why, it was indeed useful.

However, the bio-detector could detect the creatures within a one-kilometer radius in a more detailed manner, and it could clearly display them in front of him.

The black blade could only help Jiang Chentong predict danger, but it could not guide him.

"Da…Da…Da"

Jiang Chentong walked in the dark and quiet hall, leaning against the wall. The leather boots under his feet hit the ground, making a slight tapping sound.

In the past, such footsteps would not have been noticed by anyone. However, at this moment, in this empty and dark hall, it was very loud.

Listening to the faint footsteps, listening to his own breathing, and looking at the green screen in his hand, Jiang Chen Tong was extremely careful.

Although it was effortless for him to kill the Extreme Eater now, the Extreme Eater usually lived in groups. Once there were too many of them, even for him, it would be very difficult to deal with them.

He was not strong enough yet, and his past experience told him that there must be a hidden Extreme Devouring Beast here. Therefore, he would try his best to avoid it. He would fill his stomach first, then continue to hunt Extreme Devouring Beasts to increase his strength.

After walking against the wall for two minutes, his vision suddenly widened.

He came to an empty hall.

The hall was dilapidated and in a mess. The floor, walls, and ceiling were covered with colorful flowers of all shapes and sizes. A 50-meter-wide hole appeared at the top, and the hole in the middle of the hall coincided with the hole at the top.

It looked like a cave created by a mutated Extreme Devouring Beast.

Turning off the flashlight, Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief. His blue eyes gradually turned into golden pupils, like two small golden lamps. This was also one of his additional skills, Night Vision. However, it was currently only used for night vision and had no other uses.

Activating the night vision function, he became bolder and walked deeper into the hall. At this moment, the temperature was gradually dropping. The cold wind poured in from somewhere and corroded his body.

After walking for a while, Jiang Chen Tong arrived at the underground platform. This was a corridor of unknown depth. The end of the corridor was dark, and waves of bone-piercing cold wind escaped from the end.

Jiang Chen Tong's heart tightened, and he could vaguely hear a faint murmur echoing in his ears. It was like listening to an adult tell a ghost story when he was young.

After a few seconds, he turned his head to look at the exit beside him. A bright beam of light shone diagonally above him, and the reflected light outlined the protruding outlines of the things in the corridor, making them look like pairs of monster eyes silently watching the living in the deep night.

"Pa!"

Without thinking much, Jiang Chen Tong subconsciously put his hands on the black knife at his waist and walked steadily towards the first room.

After moving forward for about four meters, he arrived at the entrance of the first room. The door of this room was not closed, but was left ajar.

He paused for two seconds and looked up at the door number. On it was written," Test Entity Storage Bin 09."

" Another storage chamber. I wonder if there's anything I want."

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anticipation. He immediately stretched out his right hand and slowly pushed the door open.

After entering the room, Jiang Chen Tong habitually closed the door.

He turned around and looked around. The room in front of him was very big, about two thousand square meters. There was a control console in the middle. Above the control console was a screen that was nearly ten meters wide, and below it was a white iron cabinet that was about five meters tall.

On both sides of the control console, there were huge glass jars about four meters tall, and many unknown creatures were soaked in them.

"Oh my god! So many test subjects?"

Jiang Chentong's mouth was half open as he walked quickly to the nearest jar.

"09?" Jiang Chentong raised his hand to wipe the dust off the sign. After pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself,

"What's going on? Why did he only have one arm? And…looking at its thickness and length, it should be more than ten meters tall when it was alive, right?"

After Jiang Chentong's investigation, he found that there were a total of forty-two jars here. Inside were test subjects of the same shape and number. Based on his preliminary judgment, these test subjects should have come from the cloning technology of the Old World.

"That shouldn't be the case. The technology of the Old World was so advanced, so why did they go through so much trouble to develop so many useless arms? This should be the product of a failed experiment, right?"

" That's not right. What's wrong with this group of people…"

Jiang Chen Tong frowned slightly. He stood beside the control console and habitually thought about the situation before him.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Just as he was pacing left and right in deep thought, he accidentally saw something hidden inside the control console. It seemed to be a robot.

" This is…the artificial intelligence of the Old World?"

Jiang Chentong whispered, then walked to the robot in a few steps and squatted down.

However, just as he squatted down, the artificial intelligence in front of him suddenly raised its head without any warning. Jiang Chen Tong was so scared that he almost tore it into pieces.

After calming down, Jiang Chen Tong let out a breath and put away the black blade in his hand.

Immediately after, a line of green words appeared on the artificial intelligence screen:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Chen Tong squinted his eyes and subconsciously whispered,"

"What is it? Wait for me?"

Before he could finish his sentence, the artificial intelligence suddenly moved. It turned to the control console and raised its electronic head to shoot out a green light.

Then, the screen that was about ten meters long suddenly lit up.

Then, the screen flashed a few times and a holographic projection appeared in front of him.

It was a man wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see his true appearance.

Two seconds later, the man said in an electronic voice,"

" I was originally a meteorologist. I knew that I couldn't survive in such an environment, so I stored all the information I knew into the robot chip for future generations to discover.

After saying that, the man sighed and said in a reminiscing tone,

" As early as a decade ago, our world's technology was very advanced, and interstellar travel was the norm. However, the vigorous development of technology did not bring us good luck. It accelerated our expansion into the extraterrestrial domain. At this time, energy became the most urgent problem. To solve this problem, we looked at the interior of the Earth. During a mining for scientific research purposes, we found a strange plant deep underground."

" After research, it was discovered that it was a plant that could absorb and store human life. We named it the Flower of Mana. In order to study this creature, the top six scientists at that time jointly established Nirvana.

" Based on the Flower of Mana's ability to absorb, store, and release human energy, they secretly conducted scientific research with the goal of immortality under the guise of treating diseases. They attempted to let humans obtain similar abilities to store and release energy. In the end, after a lot of experiments and combining animal and plant genes, they made a breakthrough."

" After that, countries began to scramble to conduct a large amount of research. Some biological companies began to use the Mana Flower to research biological weapons. The prototype of the Extreme Devourer, number 19 of the Nilvana laboratory, was born."

Jiang Chentong came to a sudden realization. He subconsciously looked at the test subject at the side and muttered,

"I see! Was this the first generation of the Extreme Devouring Beast? Then the current Extreme Devouring Beast should be a product of the combination of Mana's ecological environment after the evolution."

The man did not stop talking.

" In the face of benefits, no one will compromise. In the end, under these conditions, biological companies began to realize the cross-platform, cross-species genetic internet of all things, and achieve the effect of treating cancer through complementary genes."

" However, once Pandora's box is opened, the consequences are unimaginable!

Jiang Chen Tong held his breath and listened attentively to his narration. Although he was only a holographic projection, he could still hear the fear and helplessness before the end of the world from his words.

The man was silent for a moment. He seemed to take a deep breath before he raised his head and continued,"

" The consequences of the Genetic Internet of All Things were severe, but Ash was too powerful at that time, and the experimental results were remarkable. In several global conferences, they won the effectiveness of the AI Act. From then on, intelligent creatures took over everything on Earth."

" At this time, the disaster had already broken out. The people of the world could not stand the era ruled by robots. We rose up to resist, but things did not go as we wished. The resistance stopped when the first vine broke out of the ground."

" The appearance of the Earth Vines was accompanied by the abnormal changes of the moon. The cohesiveness of the Earth's plates began to disappear, and the entire continent fell apart. The global climate changed drastically, and we walked down a path of death."

" After the disaster, a mysterious creature began to appear on the devastated land. They were powerful and varied in form, almost covering the entire continent. Moreover, they had extremely strong attack power and abnormal regeneration ability, so they could not be completely killed."

" They are one of the main reasons for the extinction of mankind. After that incident, the strange creatures that crawled out of the crust, as well as some fish-like monsters, were like deep-sea species that were swept ashore by tsunamis during the turmoil of the continent. That is an unknown area of biology and a forbidden area for humans."

"However, the source of all this is not those terrifying Extreme Devouring Beasts, but ourselves! The greed of the human heart is the root of all evil."
