Let you upgrade alone, you lead the country into the heavens

Chapter 199 Who am I?

Huang Hao's face was full of impossibility.

"I'm still here, I'm still alive, how could I be a replica!"

"You're kidding me, right?"

"Haha." The stranger sneered, turned around and stepped aside, allowing the scene outside the window to be fully displayed.

Seeing the scene outside, Huang Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes, and an egg could be stuffed into his mouth.

Outside the hospital, in the city, police cars and ambulances sped on the road with sirens blaring.

This period of time should have been rush hour, and the traffic was extremely congested.

But there was not a single car passing on the street, and even if there was, it was parked on the side of the road.

And in the empty city, he saw.

An object like a transparent jellyfish floated in the sky, and its countless tentacles hung down, sweeping across the streets, buildings, and the ground.

A medical helicopter roared in.

It was about to hit the jellyfish.

Huang Hao couldn't help but close his eyes. He could already foresee that the result of the collision would be the destruction of the plane and the death of everyone on board.

But after waiting for half a minute, the expected explosion did not occur in the sky.

He quickly opened his eyes.

The medical helicopter passed through the jellyfish, but before it flew too far, it seemed to lose control and spun into a nearby building!

"Boom!" Explosions and flames appeared, and thick black smoke continued to drift out from the office building.

The fire trucks that were putting out the fire, with their sirens blaring, lost control and crashed into shops on the street after passing a transparent giant on the street.

Other than that.

There are many monsters.

A monster coiled around an office building like a snake; a few transparent shadows streaked across the sky, a leech-like monster with bat wings; a humanoid monster, seemingly made of smoke, flew across the surface, and so on...

Huang Hao, who came to the window and looked out, had a dazed look on his face because of the scene outside the window.

"I...am I dreaming?"

"hiss......"

Huang Hao couldn't help but hiss because of the pain in his arm and looked at the culprit.

The stranger dropped the IV needle and shrugged.

"You're welcome."

Huang Hao stared at the stranger.

There is pain, this is not a dream, all this is happening in real life.

But...but...

How could these things appear in this world?

Could it be brought by these monsters?

He stared at the stranger.

"What's the matter?"

The stranger turned around, looked out the window and said softly.

“Because there are souls.”

"It seems something went wrong during your assimilation process, and only the original owner's memories are retained. Please, I still need to explain this to you."

Having said this, the stranger pulled over a chair and sat down to explain.

"We, the Bloodline Clan, come from the starry sky. The planet where we first originated is no longer traceable, but we already understood the entire ecosystem long ago."

"And through meteorites, it slowly expands among the stars."

"We assimilate the local ecosystem and transform the desolate planet."

"In the process, we encountered some rather strange beings."

"Strange?" Huang Hao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help frowning.

"What do you mean?"

The stranger smiled.

"Of course they are intelligent life. Unlike us, we are the collective consciousness of a cell cluster. We can command a group of cells to sacrifice for the collective, and we can also control their division and evolution. We call ourselves a swarm."

"Intelligent life is different. They cannot control every cell in their body. Instead, they issue commands to their body through an organ called the brain."

"You call beings above the brain souls, while we often call them beings with souls."

"What do you mean?" Huang Hao frowned slightly.

According to this statement, isn't intelligent life a parasite?

That's bullshit.

The stranger didn't pay any attention to his reaction and continued to answer.

"In other words, the emergence of intelligent life stems from the choice of the soul."

"They need a vessel to walk in the material world."

"However, these containers also contain some cells that possess resistance consciousness."

"Are you talking about cancer cells?" Huang Hao couldn't help but reply.

"Of course." The stranger nodded with a teachable look.

Huang Hao couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking it was a bit nonsense.

He couldn't help but look out the window.

"What does this have to do with those things outside the window? You even said it had something to do with me. I didn't know I had such great power."

The stranger looked out the window at the city that had been destroyed by all kinds of monsters and demons, and sighed.

"Simply put, something went wrong while assimilating you and your companions, causing them to descend into the material world."

Hearing this, Huang Hao's mind moved.

No wonder I heard the monster's shocked noise before I died, no, before I fell into a coma.

It turned out to be because of this!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of his wife and daughter.

Judging from the situation just now, normal people should not be able to see these things, otherwise the medical helicopter would not have passed through the monster's body.

But...why did it crash after passing through?

Huang Hao couldn't help but ask his doubts.

The stranger sneered.

"Do you think these spirits are good things?"

"Look."

"The floating Mother Spirit will drop its tentacles, intended to capture spirits, just as a top-tier filter feeder in the ocean opens its maw. Any spirits it touches will be sucked into its body, strengthening itself."

"These guys will just eat up an entire planet!"

At this point, the stranger sneered, then looked mockingly at the police car passing by on the street.

"Look, these corpses are still running around for no reason. They think those brain-dead people are suffering from some special disease and are putting the entire city under control."

“Now, the city has become a buffet.”

Huang Hao's breathing suddenly stopped.

That’s millions of people!

His wife and children are still inside.

But soon, he came to his senses and looked at the stranger.

"Wait, according to you, since the emergence of humans is also due to the choice of the soul, why..."

The stranger seemed to know what he wanted to ask and explained slowly and calmly.

"It's just an unconscious projection, it won't cause much disturbance in the material world. And in the spacetime where the spirit originally exists, they are like two parallel lines, which can never intersect."

"But spirits that appear completely in the material universe can, through humans, consume parts of other spirits that have not yet descended."

Huang Hao raised his head, his expression slightly shocked.

"So, after this part is eaten, the person will become vegetative, or brain dead?"

"Is there any way to deal with them?"

The stranger turned around and looked at him with boredom.

"You've already seen it, purely physical means have no effect on them."

"The original spirit was born because of you. I assimilated your body to see if I could find anything. I didn't expect..."

At this point, the stranger shook his head, obviously not noticing anything.

Huang Hao stared at him.

"Is this your purpose in resurrecting me, to find out the reason?"

"That really disappoints you."

The stranger chuckled and walked out of the ward.

Huang Hao's eyes flashed slightly.

What does this guy want to do? Does he want to go out and assimilate more people?

He quickly stood up and couldn't help but call for a stop.

"What do you want to do!"

The stranger responded.

"Of course, I'm going to assimilate them to obtain more resources. But don't worry, I wouldn't dare touch those who are still alive. Who knows if they might create a few more spirits."

"Of course... I have no interest in creating another like you."

"My fellow peculiar creature, I really hope you can wake up before those spirits can affect us."

"Also, your wife and daughter from that body are here, but you are not him after all, so take care of yourself."

After that, the door of the ward was gently closed.

The stranger also disappeared into the hospital corridor.

In the ward, Huang Hao just spread out his hands blankly and stared at the back of his hands.

There were no traces of an IV tube on the back of the hand.

It was precisely because there were no traces that he clearly realized that he could not go back.

Am I still human?

Huang Hao couldn't help but look out the window.

A transparent jellyfish with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a body size larger than several office buildings was floating in the sky. Its tentacles hung like curtains, and every time it passed over the ground, a lot of gray gas could be seen entering the jellyfish's body.

The jellyfish also grew in size.

At the same time, He also split out a number of leech-like monsters and scattered them on the surface.

These leech monsters shuttled through the city, and any humans they touched fell to the ground for no reason.

Their size also increases accordingly!

Those that devour more will grow wings and transform into snakes or giant spirits.

This is a disaster!

"Squeak!" The ward door was pushed open.

A woman in a black gauze dress walked into the room with a girl.

Seeing Huang Hao standing blankly in front of the window, she couldn't wait to rush over and hugged her husband with sobs in her voice.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're okay!"

Huang Hao only felt his body stiff, and he could feel that every cell in his body was calling out.

They need to proliferate, they need more energy, and they are eager to assimilate the people in front of them.

Noticing that something was wrong with her husband, the wife looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her tearful eyes.

"looking at what?"

Huang Hao withdrew his gaze from the window and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He hugged his wife tightly.

"Nothing, I just...just missed you."

"Don't worry, I'm always here!"

Huang Hao hugged his wife tightly with a determined expression.

Am I still human? From a biological point of view, obviously not.

But his memories of the past thirty years told him that he was Huang Hao!

At least... for now, and for some time to come, I will still be.

......

Time flies. Only a few months have passed and the whole world has sounded the alarm!

People call the disaster that began in southwest Asia the Great Cataclysm.

Huang Hao stood by the base wall in the heavy snow, looking at the outside world with a distracted look.
