#249 - Chapter 249 Destined to Die
“The lord I serve requires you to provide him with the technology you possess.”
After stepping out of the Abyssal Portal, the Fallen Angel Liz made a new demand to the Rotting Life mainframe.
However, the Rotting Life, usually cowardly to the extreme, became exceptionally firm after hearing this new request.
He directly refused the Fallen Angel's request.
——————————
“I'm sorry, I cannot agree to this request.”
The Rotting Life explained.
“At least, not the current me!”
“Although my life is currently hanging by a thread, even ants have the instinct to survive.”
“Therefore, I must have an absolute guarantee of my life's safety before I give you the information you need.”
“Because this is the last guarantee of my life's safety, and also the only guarantee.”
The Rotting Life mainframe isn't stupid.
On the contrary, he is even more cunning than ordinary people.
After all, before receiving the Blessing of Chaos and gaining consciousness, he already possessed extremely strong calculation abilities.
With the blessing of this powerful calculation ability, he is very clear that once he hands over all the data, he will be abandoned by the other party in the next second.
Just as he said.
Even ants try to survive, so what reason does he have to give up the life he has worked so hard to obtain?
“If I discover that you have any intention of directly killing me, I will not hesitate to activate the self-destruct program.”
“Believe me, as long as I am determined to destroy those data.”
“No matter what method you use, you will not be able to recover it.”
However, facing the Rotting Life's threat, the Fallen Angel Liz sneered.
This beautiful angel not only had no pity for the half-flesh, half-machine Chaos monster in front of her, but also longed for it to fall into hell.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Fallen Angel Liz opened her mouth and said.
“Then, be prepared to die.”
Liz said the coldest words with a smile.
“Hurry up, why don't you destroy those precious data you possess?”
“Hmm? Are you scared?”
The Rotting Life fell silent.
He really didn't want to die. From an electronic life to the current half-life form, he had already paid a lot.
The closer he got to a real living being, the more he could feel the preciousness of life.
So, after a few seconds of silence, he decisively asked.
“Is this your personal idea, or the idea of the... lord behind you?”
“If this is the true idea of the lord behind you.”
“Then I will activate the irreversible self-destruct program in thirty seconds.”
“After the self-destruct program is activated, I and all the knowledge of my civilization will completely disappear from this world.”
“At that time, the technology you crave will no longer exist.”
“But if this is your own idea, then I suggest you better ask again...”
“Whether the lord behind you agrees with me doing this or not?”
After speaking, the Rotting Life mainframe fell silent again.
But after he fell silent, his mechanical body began to operate rapidly.
As countless flesh and blood began to tremble, this half-flesh, half-machine mainframe began to roar.
Even the countless electronic sparks caused by Kerr lingering nearby could not stop him from doing so.
Obviously, the Rotting Life was not joking.
Once Liz hesitated for more than thirty seconds, he would really activate the self-destruct program and destroy himself and all the knowledge possessed by the Harvester civilization.
He was gambling!
He was betting that although the Fallen Angel Liz didn't know why she hated him, the lord behind the Fallen Angel Liz needed him!
This was a high-stakes gamble concerning his life's safety.
In order to continue living, he put his last remaining life as a bet and pushed it onto the table!
And he did win the bet.
Because less than ten seconds after he issued the death threat, Wu Wei's new messenger appeared.
A twisted demon covered in all kinds of tongues walked out of the Abyssal Portal and swayed to the front of the Rotting Life mainframe.
This was a Tongue Demon.
As soon as he arrived in front of the Rotting Life mainframe, he immediately spoke in Wu Wei's voice, issuing Wu Wei's new order.
“Liz, step back.”
“But Lord...”
“Step back!”
“Yes... sir.”
After Wu Wei's tone became tough, Liz's status as a messenger was stripped.
Although Liz herself was extremely reluctant, at this moment, Wu Wei's order was the order of the Abyss's will, so she had to obey.
Under such circumstances, full of anger, she could only slink back into the Abyssal Portal.
Because Wu Wei was preparing to talk to the Rotting Life in person.
“Stop the self-destruct program.”
“Okay!”
After the Rotting Life discovered that Wu Wei was preparing to negotiate with him personally, he immediately stopped the self-destruct program.
However, before Wu Wei could speak, the Rotting Life spoke first.
He asked Wu Wei a question.
“This lord, what do I need to pay to let me live?”
Due to the characteristics of electronic life, this time the Rotting Life didn't beat around the bush at all, and directly stated his most core question.
However, Wu Wei's answer plunged him into despair in an instant.
“I'm sorry.”
“No matter what price you pay... you.”
“Are going to die!”
