The other party was a pregnant woman, and Xiao Qiang dared not let his guard down. One careless mistake could lead to a double tragedy, and the stakes were high. He cautiously raised his hand, deliberately exposing that he was not carrying any harmful weapons, and said, "Mrs. Li, I am Xiao Qiang. I've been to your home before... No, I'm here because you are a good person..." In his flustered state, despite having prepared some convincing words for entering the Li Family Mansion, he stumbled and forgot them all.
Mrs. Li noticed Xiao Qiang's flustered demeanor and couldn't help but chuckle, "I think I've seen you before, but... I can't remember."
Seeing that Mrs. Li was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined, Xiao Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, for safety's sake, he still cautiously asked, "You see me as a mutant and aren't afraid?"
Mrs. Li shook her head, placing her hand on her rounded belly with an unexpectedly calm demeanor. "I'm not afraid; my husband is also a mutant..."
"Mr. Li?"
At the mention of Mr. Li, Xiao Qiang's expression stiffened, and his gaze turned somber as he looked out the window. "He is not my husband."
Although he had mentally prepared himself for this revelation, hearing Mrs. Li say that Mr. Li was not her husband—the father of her child—still caused a slight ripple in his heart.
Checking the time, he realized Mr. Li should be returning soon.
"Mrs. Li, can you tell me about your husband's true situation?"
Mrs. Li nodded. "I remember now; you look very similar to someone. He used to be one of my husband's most loyal friends, but later on, he changed..."
"Don't rush; take your time telling me."
Before his death, Mr. Li was skilled in research at the Hacker Alliance, but his cover identity was that of a researcher in a specialized unit. He leveraged his status as a mutant to envision using the global applicability of the internet to develop multifunctional robots capable of replacing human labor with super combat capabilities.
Few colleagues supported his ideas; most maintained a neutral stance. Only one female colleague—Zhao Liya, who was Xiao Chongjun's wife—strongly backed his vision and secretly initiated another project to complement his development efforts.
Xiao Qiang listened intently, his heart racing as he absorbed every detail about his mother for the first time.
Zhao Liya, with her meticulous nature, had developed this project on her own, so only a few people were aware of it. Besides Mr. Li, the only other person who knew was Xiao Chongjun.
The project was called the Nano Immortal Robot. It was designed to assist humans who suffered various injuries during war. By swallowing a single Nanobot particle, it would dissolve into countless tiny auxiliary robots that could repair internal wounds. This innovation aimed to maintain combat effectiveness while reducing unnecessary casualties, offering significant contributions and assistance to the future world.
Just as Zhao Liya and Mr. Li reached a consensus and prepared to focus on their respective projects, tragedy struck after a press conference. Mr. Li was fatally shot, a bullet piercing his abdomen and damaging his liver and spleen.
In that moment, Zhao Liya felt immense sorrow and regret. If only her Nanobots had been completed sooner, Dr. Li's injuries would have been trivial.
The doctors diagnosed Dr. Li with a death sentence—he had only eight days left to live. Mrs. Li was heartbroken but had to consider the unborn child; she couldn't let adult matters cause suffering for the child who had yet to see the world. Moreover, the baby represented their love, and for her husband and herself, she needed to be strong and ensure the child was born safely.
Dr. Li possessed a memory storage device equivalent to a human brain. As his life neared its end, he asked Zhao Liya to help upload his remaining memories into the device. He also wanted to integrate the data intended for creating robots into the storage device and upload everything onto their Internet page.
That night, Dr. Li passed away.
After his departure, Zhao Liya accelerated the development of the Nanobots project, hoping to complete it before she and Xiao Chongjun welcomed their child.
One Sunday after Dr. Li's passing, Mrs. Li missed her husband deeply. Unconsciously, she activated the Internet connection that stored her husband's memories and robot data.
"Hello, my dear, how are you?" The screen lit up with her husband's warm greeting, startling Mrs. Li. She quickly shut off the circuit but paused in confusion before restarting it again. After a flurry of static on the screen, it displayed her husband's image from when he was alive.
"Why did you turn me off? Don't you miss me?"
This was a rational question that only humans could pose, unexpectedly appearing on the screen. Regardless of who it was, no one could immediately accept this absurd and bizarre situation. For a few moments, Mrs. Li thought it was her husband's soul that had left his body and possessed the screen. However, after a rational conversation, she became convinced that the person appearing on the screen was indeed her husband without a doubt.
"What happened next?"
Mrs. Li sighed and said, "At first, I was the only one who knew about this. Whenever I felt depressed, lonely, or isolated, I would go to our basement to meet and talk with him. Through our exchanges and communication, I felt he had changed. He became terrifying; he could easily invade other people's network systems and cut off their connections. He could manipulate the stock market at will, and before long, our family was wealthy beyond measure...
In a very short time, he created a high-tech nanotechnology healing device. Everything was operated by precisely designed robots that treated external and internal injuries. But later, I don't know how it happened; the terrorist organization that had once tried to kill him found out he had come back to life. They began searching everywhere for him and even found his friends, shooting and injuring them."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but feel anxious for Dr. Li's friends...
Someone brought his friends over, and after undergoing unbelievable treatment from the nanobots, they recovered... but there were unacceptable side effects. Their thoughts and behaviors were now under his control and arrangement.
Later on, his friends brought many injured people from outside, and after my husband's treatment, they miraculously healed and became puppets for him to command.
"What is he now?" Xiao Qiang felt this matter was too complicated and tricky... What would happen if they rashly deleted Dr. Li's memory from the storage device and uploaded compatible data?
"He has been absorbing human essence for a long time, combined with various elements. He has become a synthetic human but sometimes exhibits real emotions that are hard for me to distinguish from genuine feelings. He can cry, shed tears, and show compassion..."
