Returning from the abyss

Chapter 561 The Battle of Annihilation
The Rangers were wiped out by the Phantom Star Syndrome, and everything in the ancient era basically came to an end. Except for some relics and the new ecology that began to be generated under the virus environment, what happened here is unknown.

"But... that's where the problem lies. I used antigens and antibodies to make an analogy, but they are not exactly the same." Pang Xu's tone was a little sad, "The level of technology of the rangers at that time had reached a level that we could not touch. , and the phantom star virus produced for such technology is more like a 'super virus' in virology, its attack power against almost all civilizations is destructive. No matter what method is used to transmit information, the final result will be Those who receive the information will be simultaneously infected."

"But the result of the infection is a change in the direction of thinking. This... sounds good. At least we saved a person in the Beast God Valley. His situation is much better than yours." Spades said.

Pang Xu smiled helplessly.

"A person, living in an environment without any other thoughts interfering, the speed at which his genes self-destruct due to external information will be much delayed. This No. 1 outpost had a thousand and three hundred people at its peak, but now I'm afraid less than one-tenth of them can maintain a normal posture."

"what?"

"If I'm not wrong, there aren't many of you here this time. You can tell from the size of your team that most of the attackers outside are not human... This number is not enough to show a significant growth rate." Pang Xu He said wearily, "But how many people are there in the alliance?"

Spades stopped talking.

"When people's thinking can become a weapon, when 'you can die without disease' is no longer a catchphrase but a fact, when every evaluation that people around you make about you can change you... Infect Those infected will be affected by this situation, and the more people are infected, the more chaotic the interaction will be." Pang Xu scratched his hair, "We have conducted millions of model simulations, and the conclusion is that as long as mutual The number of people who exchange information exceeds three thousand is enough to form a completely chaotic information-induced monster, and no one can maintain a complete form."

3000 people - almost this number can be gathered in a mine in the alliance.

"Go ahead, since you've been studying this for a long time, you won't be able to just dig up the history." Lu Ning said.

"Haha, still keep calm, it is indeed a military style. I will simply say that the life of this galaxy is coming to an end, and the blue giant star in the center has reached the end of its life, and it will not collapse into White dwarfs, but a supernova explosion, because it is the "immunity" strategy of the universe. Before that, due to the effect of self-restraint, any life carrying phantom star virus could not leave this galaxy, but this constraint will follow the "immunity" of the galaxy Death' will be invalid at the same time, then the phantom star virus will be thrown directly into the universe, mixed into the cosmic rays, and radiate to all civilizations in the entire universe at the speed of light."

Is this the last mission?

"Then, isn't this the end?" Spades held his head and cried, "As long as civilizations have cosmic ray detection equipment, they can't hide from it, right?"

"Supernova..." Tie Mei sat down slumped, "This is really the worst news."

"Mr. Pang Xu, it's best not to make up a story for yourself to survive." Qiu Shu said with a vaguely threatening tone, "If it really involves the survival of the entire universe civilization, what's the use of you doing it behind closed doors? "

"Research on the method of cracking it." Pang Xu spread his hands, "Now that we know that the disaster is coming, of course we can't sit still. We are in the best situation, we have time to study the nature of the virus, we can observe the state of the mutant, and even With the thinking and technology left by the predecessors, we have exhausted everything to find ways to contain the virus, which is not in vain."

"Yes." The voice of the bayonet is still stable, "You... have no obvious characteristics on your body, so why do you have such differences in your mixed thinking? Even if it is an individual difference, your condition is far from those that have already produced significant differences. Individuals with mutations also vary greatly."

Lu Ning and Mo Lianren have already thought of this point, and as tourists, they have been told that the virus is crackable, so they can maintain this kind of calmness, and it is not easy for the bayonet to observe this point carefully.

"Yes, this is a method we found. In addition, we also have the methods left by Rangers and Observers... But these are only in theoretical research, they have certain effects, but we don't Knowing which one is the real fight against phantom star syndrome."

Pang Xu stretched out his hand to tap something, and the signal on the screen began to become a little fuzzy.

"Sir! It seems to be a signal..." the black armor shouted hastily.

"Those things are sending out signals that the prison is about to get out of control... Let's take them away and take a last look at the outside world for us. Just through the screen, I have already forgotten what the real starry sky looks like..." Pang Xu said The voice became more and more indistinct, "The file... has been sent to... mailbox... left..."

The black armor froze for a while, then stomped his feet violently, rushed to the door and opened it, shouting: "Come with me!"

Lu Ning and Mo Lianren rushed out of the door without hesitation, and as soon as they got outside, they heard a sharp neighing at the same time, like a scream, full of confusion, despair and fear, always in the dark The sky began to echo with concentric ripples, and the attack from the outside world had penetrated into the imaginary space. It was a signal from some kind of mind, and it was destroying the last shackles in everyone's heart.

"Captain, we can't hear any sound. The vacuum can't make any sound. Does this really work?"

One of Qin Jingyu's team members asked him.

"You don't need to hear it. If you hear it, you're not far from death." Qin Jingyu looked into the ravine. He probably couldn't see the location of the No. 1 outpost here, but it was as if he had seen everything. , "We don't have to attack at all, they will die because of their own imbalance... just like the Rangers and Observers."

"Captain, it seems that someone is approaching here."

"Huh? How many?"

"One."

The black armor rushed to a building with a small base and a large top end, opened the door and rushed in. Lu Ning and Mo Lianren ordered everyone to be on guard at the door, and followed him into the building.

The space inside is not large, and it has been divided into small rooms.The black armor quickly sat down in front of a machine, pulled the levers on it, and soon the indicator lights in the room lit up, and a rumbling sound began to come from the ground, which really maintained the most basic Mechanical way of working.Soon, three flat metal boxes were sent out from a passageway, and the black armor took the boxes and handed them to Lu Ning.

"You and them are your own people, no one will check you. No matter what, we must find a way to suppress the Phantom Star Syndrome!"

"Hey! Why do I hear you don't want to leave with us?" Mo Lian shouted.

"I have spent one-third of my life here, and this is already my other home." Black Armor said, "If I don't die because of the madness of thinking, but fight those monsters to the end , and that’s what I’ve been doing all along.”

"That's meaningless. Now you leave with us and tell some people outside what happened here. It's more useful than death." Lu Ning said.

"You can leave. Please...don't try to persuade me anymore."

The body of the black armor trembled slightly, and a mixture of red and blue liquid gradually flowed from the gaps in the armor.

"you……"

"I didn't have much time... That thing is not only effective for catalyzing mutants, it is also effective for us severe patients... I knew..." Black Armor said with some pain, "Suppressing those mutants... at least I have that ability now..."

He pushed the two away and rushed to the door. The people outside the door didn't know what was going on in the room. The sudden rush of the black armor shocked them. Qiu Shu shouted "Where are you going?", but he didn't stop He rushed to the distant building.

Lu Ning and Mo Lianren chased out with three boxes in their hands. The black armor had already run 50 meters away. His strength and speed continued to increase, but the liquid flowing from his body also became more.

At this moment, a beam of laser light rushed out from above, piercing through the head of the black armor.

The heavy body was thrown out like a can, rolled on the ground a few times, and never moved again.

Lu Ning raised her head suddenly, and saw several people standing on a fairly flat roof, one of them was holding a laser gun, and his tone was raised.

"Good start, the No. 1 outpost traitor killed one!"

Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning could feel his malice through the helmet.

"DU-003, BW-003, and the traitors at Outpost No. 1 are too close, and they are suspected of having defected. According to wartime regulations, they can be executed on the spot if they refuse to surrender."

Badge number NE-012.

In another corner of the planet, in the center of Paradise Lost, Xuan Zitong's pupils watching the monitor shrank suddenly, and a cold breath practically spread from her body.Luo Xiao was the only one who wasn't too afraid. She fell off a rock and said excitedly, "Did you find it?"

"He's in Outpost No. 1." Xuan Zitong gritted his teeth and said, "And he's starting to do harm again."

"Isn't that good? Now that it's confirmed that he's here, let's detonate Paradise Lost and bury everything—"

"Do not."

Xuan Zitong pressed her right hand on the helmet, breathing quickly, and she also saw another person in the camera.

"Ok?"

"Why is she here... why is she just here... don't come here! Don't go to this dangerous place soon?"

"Xuan Zhong, what are you talking about? Who's there?"

"I don't want to hurt those who love and protect me anymore!" Xuan Zitong turned to look at Luo Xiao, "Paradise Lost cannot be triggered here!"

"That guy Xiang Yi is the most sensitive to danger. If it takes a long time, he will notice our arrangement! It's the best time to kill him when he's sick and trying to harm others!"

"Do not."

Another veto, but this time, Xuan Zitong's mood eased a little.

"Xuan Zhong... No one on this planet is stronger than you right now, but the situation may change in a few minutes. Those top tourists are still on the phantom star, and pure knowledge of technological weapons does not constitute any advantage at all." Luo Xiao also slowed down his speaking speed.

"Let's go."

"Leaving the protected area of ​​'Paradise Lost'?"

"Yes, Paradise Lost will destroy everything. If you don't know each other, you don't need to care if you die. But Lu Ning, we are friends." The voice of her last sentence became very thin.

"...you idiot."

"Luo Xiao...why is it lost for saving people, but also for killing people...does the distribution center have a correct goal?"

"Ha, if I knew, would I still hang out in this place?" Luo Xiao shrugged, "Let's go."

Xuan Zitong looked up at her: "Actually, you don't have to go. There is Paradise Lost here, you can wait for Xiang Yi to die."

"Wait?" Luo Xiao said a little irritablely, "You don't have to lose Paradise, so I can only go to the scene to see his dead body to be at ease? Waiting will only let a lot of opportunities slip away from you! "

She reached out and grabbed a belt full of daggers that had been tidied up for a long time, tied it around her shoulders, and opened the team channel.

"Let's go everyone, let's go to the No. 1 outpost to join in the fun!"

The red rays rushed into the sky, directly shattering the gray screen covering the outpost, and even the imaginary space began to tremble, being wiped out along the way.The ray quickly turned purple, became thinner, and disappeared, but the shock cloud stirred up violently spread around Tianmuyi in a ring shape.

[A-level potential mutation One-eyed owl has completed the mutation. 】

The metal street was breaking, and the sharp teeth began to suck in a large amount of steel debris, filling it into the mouth that seemed never to be satisfied, and two triangular symbol-shaped eyes were attached to that mouth.This mouth straightly crushed everything in its path, and behind it, metal balls quickly appeared one after another, and began to stick out their claws, cutting and destroying everything around them.

[A-level potential mutant scrap iron Taotie has completed the mutation. 】

The lavender light wings opened up the wall. It was a burly monster with goat horns, four arms and three eyes. Its feet did not touch the ground. More than a dozen prisons were distorted at the same time, and the people inside who hadn't completed the mutation suddenly became quiet, and then exploded, and the same shapeless shadow was born from the fragments of flesh and blood.

[A-level potential mutant shadow demon has completed the mutation. 】

……

A crimson warning light suddenly lit up in an extremely dark house buried deep underground, illuminating hundreds of dormant cabins here.It can be seen that most of them are actually empty, and only a few people are still sleeping in it. At this time, with the alarm that the mutants have completed the mutation, all the sleeping cabins that still have people are opened at the same time.

One of the men got up from the cabin, coughed out the breathing fluid in his lungs, pulled out the scissors from the tool box beside the cabin, cut his wet long hair short, and turned his head to look at a high-hanging screen.

"Pang Xu, this awakening is quite intense."

"Our end has come, Zheng Heng." Pang Xu's voice came.

Zheng Heng threw the scissors and hair aside and grinned.

"Then what are we going to do this time? So many mutants have escaped, and we can't stand it anymore."

"So, this time I won't make any demands. Thank you for helping me for so many years. You don't need to think about the consequences this time. Fighting any targets you see that should be fought is all your own judgment."

Zheng Heng shook his hair and stood up from the cabin.

"Thank you too, old friend. Farewell, then."
