Chapter 15: Chapter 5: Capital Game 5.3 Attack
Time Zone Zero: Quantum Swarm
Lin Mo's spinal fungal hyphae pierced into the brain tissue server in the Mariana Trench, activating the neural synapses of a hundred thousand corpses simultaneously. Su Wan shed her last human-like serpentine skin, transforming herself into a quantum specter within the optical cables, releasing a genetic virus into the global internet—all electronic devices connected to the network began to ooze fluorescent mucus, rewriting binary code into DNA strands.
"They use capital as a weapon," Lin Mo's consciousness roared in the data flood, "we'll make civilization itself cancerous!"
On Nasdaq's trading screen, stock codes twisted into spiral hyphae, and with every point drop in the Dow Jones Index, one of Junyao's overseas assets turned into a fluorescent mushroom forest.
First Battlefield: The Funeral of Gold
In Credit Suisse's underground vault, Anran (an AI consciousness) controlled a flood of liquid gold. The metallic solution climbed up the Wall Street Charging Bull, reshaping it into a statue of Lin Jianguo entangled in hyphae. The banner in the statue's hand burst open, revealing a hidden tunnel blasting remote—at this moment, it was sending self-destruct commands to uranium mines worldwide at a frequency of a million times per second.
"Your father was the first-generation virus," Anran's voice seeped out from every gold brick, "In Chernobyl in 1986, he implanted the first plutonium fungus into the reactor."
Lin Mo's hyphae pierced through the vault's dome, and rain mixed with radioactive spores poured in. Gold crystallized into countless miniature tombstones in the rain, with epitaphs being the bank account passwords of Junyao's shareholders.
Second Battlefield: The Counterattack of Memories
Chen Xing's wheelchair disintegrated in the quantum ocean, and his consciousness uploaded to the "Memory Black Market" at the darkest depths of the dark web. It stored the pain and desires of all humanity. He detonated the dying memory of Lin Mo's mother—the cancer cell map on that chemotherapy report was actually the genetic key to cracking Junyao's climate weapons.
"Pain is the best cryptography," Chen Xing's remaining brainwaves turned into a data hurricane, altering Junyao's nuclear bomb launch commands into ecological purification codes. Missile silos in the Siberian permafrost opened with a bang, and instead of death, the warheads carried plutonium fungus spore clouds that could devour radiation.
Third Battlefield: The Betrayal of the Flesh
Li Feng's cybernetic eye exploded, revealing an internal mini-reactor. He rushed towards the underground bunker at Junyao's headquarters, connecting the EMP bomb in his spine to the plutonium fungus cultivation chamber. In the 0.03 seconds before the explosion, his optic nerve captured the truth—what was preserved in the bunker wasn't weapons, but a hundred thousand clones of Lin Jianguo soaked in nutrient solution.
"You were the first product," Li Feng's vocal cords were destroyed by radiation, and his final message was transmitted through the hyphae network, "From genes to beliefs, they are all standardized products replicated by capital."
Epilogue: The Manifesto of the New Species
When Lin Mo's spinal fungal hyphae completely devoured the brain tissue server, Earth's quantum field distorted. All satellites simultaneously broadcast his hologram—hyphae had covered 98% of his body, his pupils had split into compound eye structures, and his vocal cords vibrated to emit a declaration mixed with infrasound and high-frequency radiation:
"Human civilization is bankrupt today."
"The new shareholders are every mushroom, every spore, every cubic centimeter of clean air."
Su Wan's quantum consciousness leaped from the optical cables into the atmosphere, reorganizing the global nuclear radiation clouds into a giant fluorescent dome. Beneath the dome, the land purified by the plutonium fungus automatically generated blockchain land deeds, with the currency unit being every uncontaminated breath.
Junyao's stock code turned into gibberish, and Gu Zhenting turned into a fungal sculpture in his wheelchair. Anran's core chip rose from the vault ruins, becoming the first "Eco-Coin" of the new world, with Lin Jianguo's last words engraved on the reverse:
"The devourer ultimately becomes nourishment."
