"According to what you said, I was actually a Doctor before?" After listening to Fang Mo's lengthy explanation, Doctor Genus seemed to gradually understand his current situation, though his expression appeared somewhat strange.
To be honest, he had been trying hard to recall his past, but he still couldn't remember anything.
Looking at the surrounding incubators and the pile of experimental equipment, Doctor Genus felt strangely familiar with them. Honestly, this feeling was quite uncomfortable; he knew how to use every piece of equipment here, yet he couldn't remember his own past at all. It was as if his memory was a complete blank.
"Damn it... who am I really?"
Thinking this, Doctor Genus, agitated, punched the floor.
"Didn't I just tell you?" Fang Mo reminded him again: "You are Doctor Genus, one of the decision-makers of this organization."
"I'm one of the decision-makers here?"
Doctor Genus raised his head and looked at Fang Mo: "What about you then? Are you my companion or subordinate?"
"Of course, I'm your companion," Fang Mo replied nonchalantly, spreading his hands: "Why else would I tell you all this? If I were your subordinate, I would have taken you out and taken over. It's much better to be the boss."
"You say you're my companion, but you had my hands tied just now."
Doctor Genus frowned slightly and looked at Fang Mo suspiciously: "If you are my companion... then why did you do that?"
"It was them who tied your hands, not me."
Fang Mo shrugged nonchalantly, appearing not at all flustered: "Before you lost your memory, you did some wrong things. They came to stop you, but I am different, I came to save you. The evidence is... they have all left, but I am still here with you, trying to figure out how to save you."
Yes, what Fang Mo said was indeed correct.
Since Doctor Genus, the leader, had lost his memory, the House of Evolution was essentially destroyed.
Originally, Saitama was always worried about the special sale of eggs at the supermarket, and exploring the underground laboratory was very tedious and boring. Seeing that Fang Mo was very interested in cleaning up the aftermath, he simply left the matter to Fang Mo to handle.
He himself dragged Genos back to buy eggs.
Of course, before leaving, Saitama also reminded Fang Mo to make sure not to do bad things like Doctor Genus did.
So with Saitama's departure, Genos naturally left as well, and their method of leaving was even through a portal.
As for Ancient One, she seemed very interested in this world, and who knows when, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone, and Fang Mo suspected she might have gone back with Saitama and Genos, planning to observe this world a bit, since strictly speaking, this world is quite tragic with all sorts of Dragon-level monsters emerging incessantly.
Thus, at this moment, inside this vast base, there were really only Doctor Genus and Fang Mo left.
So even though Doctor Genus did not fully trust Fang Mo, he had no choice but to listen to him for now, since there really was no one else left here, and the floor was littered with a pile of corpses that looked exactly like him.
There was a thick layer of blood plasma everywhere, which looked very terrifying.
"What's going on with these?"
Doctor Genus pointed at the distant corpses after he had just clearly seen his own appearance on a metal plate on the wall: "Why do they look like me? Are they clones?"
"For your mission, you ignored warnings and conducted a dangerous research," Fang Mo made up without hesitation: "You realized that the power of one person has its limits, so you cloned countless copies of yourself, but these clones rebelled, planning to use your technological achievements to destroy all of humanity..."
"What!?"
Doctor Genus was stunned when he heard this.
"Anyway, as you can see, the situation is pretty much as I described. I came from a very distant place to save you," Fang Mo continued, his previously cheerful expression suddenly turning serious: "But my being here indicates that the situation is not optimistic. You need to focus... and continue your mission."
"My... mission?"
The doctor seemed a bit confused upon hearing this.
"Don't you even remember the days when we supported each other?"
Fang Mo continued earnestly: "Didn't you tell me yourself? You said this land is afflicted with a chronic disease, and someone must cure it."
"...Nani?"
The doctor was even more perplexed after hearing this. Were these really his words?
"You didn't forget, did you?"
Though Fang Mo wanted to laugh inside, he maintained a serious face: "This was our past ideal, the endpoint of all evolution, the only remedy to cure the chronic disease of this land beneath our feet, and its formula is in your hands, Doctor."
"Evolution?"
Hearing this word, Doctor Genus suddenly felt a stir in his heart.
It was a feeling that deeply shook his soul, indescribable.
Passionate, distorted, even somewhat hysterical, all his cells seemed to boil at this moment.
Honestly, Doctor Genus didn't know what it was, but he understood that it had deeply engraved itself into the depths of his soul, and even though he had lost his memory at the moment, hearing the word "evolution" still made him feel an inexplicable throbbing.
Perhaps, this really was his sense of mission.
"So that's it..."
Feeling the strange sensation in his heart, a flicker of enlightenment seemed to appear on Doctor Genus's face as he looked at Fang Mo: "No wonder I always felt you were quite special, as if there was some kind of resonance between us. It seems what you said is true..."
"Oh, you think I'm special?"
Fang Mo, barely containing his laughter inside, still managed to maintain an air of propriety.
He could probably guess why the other saw him as special.
What resonance...
This was completely nonsense.
The reason the other felt he was special was merely due to a psychological shadow, especially after he had directly taken out the Longbow of the Heavens to utterly destroy his strongest failure... or rather, his only masterpiece, Carnage Kabuto, leaving nothing behind.
This guy had gone mad after witnessing that scene.
Although he now had amnesia, perhaps some fragments of memory still lingered subconsciously, which made him feel that Fang Mo was something special.
"Looks like... our bond is quite strong!"
Fang Mo strained his expression and said: "But Doctor, now is not the time for idle chat. We still have a lot to do."
"What needs to be done?"
Doctor Genus asked.
"There was a fierce battle here just now, and it might not be long before official agencies send people to investigate," Fang Mo said: "Your current identity is very dangerous, so you must leave here first."
"And... what about you?"
Doctor Genus asked, puzzled.
"I'll stay behind to help you destroy the evidence."
Fang Mo smiled, and in a brotherly mode, patted Doctor Genus's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, although this will cause you to lose some research results, I will accompany you to start over, this time... I won't let you go astray again."
"I..."
Doctor Genus wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, as he still knew nothing at the moment.
"Enough said, it's useless to talk more."
Fang Mo said, and without any warning, initiated a time stop.
Taking advantage of the time stop, Fang Mo directly pulled Hayakawa Aki out of pure white space and placed him around the corner.
When the time stop ended, he casually called out to the other: "Hayakawa Aki."
Actually, if it were anyone else, suddenly appearing in another space would stun them for a long time, but Hayakawa Aki was different. After all, his eyes harbored a Future Devil, allowing him to see a few seconds into his future, so he wouldn't be too panicked about anything, at least having a buffer.
Moreover, having been working for Fang Mo for such a long time, he naturally knew what kind of person the other was, so he remained quite calm at this moment.
So very quickly...
Hayakawa Aki walked out from behind the corner, and after seeing a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and naturally greeted Fang Mo: "Mr. Fang Mo, what's the matter?"
"You take the doctor and leave here first."
Fang Mo waved his hand, directly tossing an ender handle to the other, without much explanation, and simply issued the command: "Go to Z city nearby and wait for my news, oh by the way... the doctor's identity cannot be revealed right now, his situation is very dangerous."
"Okay, I understand."
Hayakawa Aki didn't say much, nodded, and then called out to Doctor Genus: "Doctor, please follow me."
"This, okay then."
Doctor Genus hesitated slightly, but due to the inexplicable throbbing in his mind regarding Fang Mo...
He thought about it and eventually decided to trust Fang Mo's arrangements.
So very quickly, Hayakawa Aki took the other away, but before Fang Mo could continue exploring here, suddenly there was another burst of footsteps, and Hayakawa Aki actually came back again.
"Why did you come back..."
Fang Mo looked up at him and quickly realized: "Oh, shadow clone, right? Then fine, let's sync our stories."
It has to be said, Hayakawa Aki was indeed very reliable on this side, absolutely the best kind of subordinate, always thinking very thoroughly about everything, just like at this moment, he communicated with Fang Mo through a shadow clone about the current situation and how to talk to the doctor and the like.
After syncing their stories a bit...
Hayakawa Aki's shadow clone disappeared with a bang.
As for Fang Mo, he continued exploring around.
This time, due to the absence of outsiders, his exploration speed was obviously much faster, and within a short period of time, he unlocked several modules.
Among them, the more famous ones included the Forestry Bees and Tech Renaissance linked module.
The helium-3 bee he had won in a lottery earlier came from this module.
This module allowed players to raise bees to obtain some precious resources, such as helium-3, tritium, deuterium, and even high-temperature plasma, methane, chromium, platinum, iridium, and even UU matter could be produced by bees.
It was incredibly absurd.
But it seemed quite reasonable in the MC world.
Besides that, Fang Mo also figured out quite a few other modules, like Potted Plants, Quick Leaf Decay, Abyssal Realm Skulls, More Skulls, Creature Display Bottles, Fart Power Generators, and other strange modules.
Honestly, just hearing about these modules sounded very weird.
Those skull modules could be understood, given that this was a biological laboratory with quite a few creature heads floating in culture dishes, unlocking these modules was still reasonable.
But...
What's with this fart power generator?
Fang Mo unlocked this module by touching an old machine, which was covered in dust and completely unrecognizable, but Fang Mo couldn't understand why this machine would allow him to unlock such a module?
Did Doctor Genus really research a fart power generator?
Well, he was originally crazy, so if he researched it, he researched it, but which mod creator would suddenly make such a module?
Fang Mo fell into deep thought for a full ten minutes because of this.
And in the end, his evaluation of this module was... it seemed to pair well with the shit module.
Regardless of the complaints, as long as these modules didn't forcibly increase the game's difficulty, Fang Mo had a welcoming attitude towards them.
After all, every time he unlocked a module, the system would give him a lucky block, and he already had nearly twenty lucky blocks in his hands now, wouldn't it be thrilling to draw a bunch of prizes?
Especially since this was also his blessed land.
If he managed to get an Infinity Sword or something, wouldn't he be invincible?
With this thought...
Fang Mo became even more enthusiastic.
However, what he didn't expect was that just as he was excitedly touching a synthetic beast's hand non-stop, suddenly the entire House of Evolution shook.
Fang Mo hadn't even reacted yet when the next second a huge explosion tore open the hidden underground depths of the House of Evolution with unimaginable force. Rocks, soil, and alloy ceilings were all forcibly flung into the air.
Bright moonlight poured down from the night sky.
Following that, a petite figure floated down with arms crossed.
"Hey."
With a cool tone, this petite figure spoke, looking down arrogantly at Fang Mo below, and seeing the monster arm he was holding, even showed a slightly disdainful expression: "The culprit behind all this... must be you, right?"
"...Fuck, Tatsumaki?"
Fang Mo looked up and was also stunned.
