I Can Control Resources-Chapter 48: Emerging from the Magnetic Pile...
Liquefied energy.
Steel, wood, earth, and stone that hadn’t yet been converted into energy...
...and swirling currents of air.
Everything within this space swarmed madly toward Mu Feifei, colliding with one another and creating a cacophony of sounds.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM..."
Before Wang Ju could even react, several steel rebars pierced through his body. The other men in black were also mostly swept into this "torrent."
And in mid-air, the torrent "swallowed" Mu Feifei whole.
"Is she dead?" Gao Neng panted.
"BANG!"
A figure burst out from the torrent.
Wielding her twin swords, Mu Feifei forcefully broke through the torrent. However, her ice-blue armor was now somewhat damaged. Her snow-white wings were stained with blood, and a few pristine feathers drifted down.
"I’m going to kill you!" Mu Feifei’s gaze was frigid as she charged down again.
But a second wave of the "torrent" arrived. A steel rebar lashed against her body, sending her spinning in mid-air.
Then, more energy and matter swept in, slamming directly into her.
"BOOM!"
Mu Feifei was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air.
Blood splattered.
Half of her pristine white feathers were now dyed red.
This made Mu Feifei unsteady in the air. Her two wings beat frantically, their speed immense, as if they could break and send her plummeting at any moment.
"AHHH!!!" Mu Feifei was unwilling to accept this. She wanted to charge again.
However, below her, the two "torrents" had merged into a massive vortex. A terrifying suction force tugged at her relentlessly, trying to devour her.
Mu Feifei’s gaze was sharp and cold. Her beautiful face turned ashen, and she bit her lip hard. Her eyes fell upon Gao Neng, who was still doing his calisthenics inside the magnetic pile.
"I will kill you... I definitely will!" Mu Feifei didn’t linger. She turned and flew high into the sky, because she wasn’t absolutely confident she could break through the torrent below her.
And if she couldn’t, charging down again would very likely mean her demise in the torrent.
The underground factory was no more.
The magnetic pile’s Spatial Magnet Point had also been destroyed by Shen Ning’Er.
This place had lost its value.
Mu Feifei wanted to kill Gao Neng, but not to the point of losing her reason over it. Most importantly, she didn’t believe he could possibly survive this anyway.
...
Gao Neng was actually asking himself the same question right now.
’Can I still survive?’
In fact, when he had mobilized the second wave of "energy" to form the "torrent" and stop Mu Feifei, he had felt his body being completely drained.
The calisthenics could restore his stamina.
But if his stamina was consumed too quickly, it could still deplete him in an instant.
Right now, Gao Neng couldn’t control not only the "torrent," but he was also losing control of his own body. That powerful suction was even trying to pull him in.
A massive "BOOM!" resounded.
The torrent exploded.
Space trembled.
Gao Neng watched helplessly as a "black hole" appeared in the space. More importantly, that black hole was actually moving toward him.
’A moving black hole?! This is unscientific! It makes no sense!’ Gao Neng was completely drained of strength, a weakness that was even affecting his consciousness.
He felt the world before him gradually blurring. He wanted to turn and run, but after just two steps, he collapsed to the ground.
’Can’t run anymore?’
His body felt as heavy as lead. Forget running; he couldn’t even do his calisthenics.
Meanwhile, the black hole continued to move toward his position, its speed increasing, as if it had sensed something.
’I’m screwed...’
’Don’t tell me I’m going to get pulled into an Otherworld by a black hole and get transported?’
’Could it be... my story only begins after being transported?’
Gao Neng wasn’t sure. But if possible, he didn’t want to be transported again. He couldn’t be certain if his hidden talent would still be useful in an Otherworld.
He began to scoot backward, one inch at a time.
Just then, the black hole and the magnetic pile finally merged. The two tore at each other and vibrated, and a very strange sound emerged from within.
Sweat poured down Gao Neng’s forehead like rain.
’The black hole stopped moving?’
’Did the magnetic pile manage to hold it in place? That has to be it, right?’
But he remembered Shen Ning’Er had said the magnetic pile could only last for an hour at most. What would happen after that hour? Would the black hole emerge from the magnetic pile?
’Right, what about Shen Ning’Er? Is she dead?’ Gao Neng scanned his surroundings and quickly found her. She was still wearing the Golden Feather Robe, but a large rock was pinning her down.
’I don’t know if she’s dead or alive.’
’But she’s definitely unconscious...’
’What do I do?’
’Shen Ning’Er is out cold, so no one is coming to save me. Do I have to save myself again? In that case... you useless system, give me a life-saving quest!’
"..."
There was no response.
Gao Neng really felt like cursing this time. It was the first time he’d ever been this desperate for a life-saving quest, but the useless system acted as if it were asleep. Was it pretending not to hear him?
’Gan Liniang!’
As he was cursing, he noticed a ball of silver liquid suddenly emerge from the magnetic pile.
The ball of silver liquid leaped out of the magnetic pile. Then, as if it were alive, it looked around before finally locking its sights on Gao Neng.
’What... is this thing? A liquid lifeform?’ Gao Neng’s eyes were fixed on the silver liquid. He was truly startled. How could a lifeform emerge from a magnetic pile?
’And a liquid one at that?’
’Impossible.’
He had never heard the Alliance mention that life existed in magnetic piles. Weren’t magnetic piles defined as a "civilization" from some unknown space?
"JYEH JYEH JYEH JYEH..."
The liquid lifeform continued to stare at Gao Neng, letting out a bizarre laugh.
Gao Neng’s back was instantly drenched in sweat.
’Something’s not right!’
’This change in tone...’
’How did this suddenly turn into a horror movie?’
Gao Neng felt that being stared at by a liquid lifeform—one that was cackling like a ghost, no less—definitely qualified as a horror movie within a horror movie.
But what he didn’t expect was that things were about to get even more terrifying.
Amidst its continuous ghostly cackling, the liquid lifeform began to change. The silvery-white liquid of its body twisted, as if it were mimicking something.
In just the blink of an eye.
Gao Neng saw a face form—a face that was almost identical to his own. And that face was becoming clearer and clearer.
’It’s mimicking my form? It’s... an intelligent lifeform?’ Gao Neng’s eyes widened. He had never experienced anything like this before.
The magnetic pile and the black hole had combined.
’Did the two of them give birth to... an intelligent liquid lifeform? And then this liquid lifeform started mimicking my appearance and even formed a face just like mine?’
’This is a lot of information to process...’
’Isn’t it a bit much?’
