Returning from the abyss

Chapter 562 Three Ways Out
The imaginary defense was destroyed from the inside, and the No. 1 outpost that suddenly appeared on Tianmuyi immediately attracted everyone's attention. Completely alienated creatures roared and rushed out of the outpost. These fear combinations from human fantasy are not In an environment that was close to a vacuum and had a lot of radiation outside, they were finally free, and in the ecstasy of freedom, they began to release their power wantonly.

Seeing this change, Xiang Yi immediately led the people out of the roof area. He had a little understanding of the situation at the No. 1 outpost, and his main purpose was not Lu Ning and the others.

"Captain, we..." Spade wanted to ask, but Lu Ning immediately interrupted him: "Don't worry about anything else, leave the No. 1 outpost first. The resistance here is not over yet, but the high-level phantom beasts are too concentrated!"

The energy response of these A-level phantom beasts is not that strong, and if you think about it, you know that they are the goals provided by the distribution center for tourists.But no matter what, it's still A-level, Lu Ning doesn't want to face a group of Eudemons!
Everyone avoided those huge monsters and ran towards the city wall in the shadows. A huge strange bird flew over their heads and rushed towards the outpost.

"This thing definitely doesn't fly by wings..." Spider Silk raised his head and glanced at the huge body, which no longer looked like a human being. This was the result of a deep mutation...

There were streaks of light outside the wall, and a large group of flames exploded on the strange bird in mid-air. The biomechanical soldiers advancing to Tianmuyi launched a group of firepower. The first strange bird that flew out was the first to bear the brunt. After being attacked, he just raised his head angrily, and then swung it downward. A very thick red beam of light passed through the middle of the soldiers, leaving traces on the ground deeper than the ravines that had already spread.And all the soldiers on this line were instantly vaporized.

Immediately afterwards, magma erupted from the ground, and the soldiers began to dodge quickly. It was not a problem for them to avoid the magma with their physical fitness, but the firepower against the air immediately weakened a lot.And at this moment, a fan-shaped flame shot out from the city wall, covering all the soldiers within a radius of nearly one kilometer, and tore apart the flesh and metal parts of all the soldiers in a second, leaving only a piece of blood on the ground. Components.

Compared with the huge monster bird, the second A-level phantom beast retained a certain human appearance.Its skin has almost completely peeled off from its body, wrapping around its body like a bandage, floating behind it.The skin of the face had become a wrinkled mask, leaving only a crack at the mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs.It was sneering, holding a "rifle" made of white bones in its hand. It didn't even look at Lu Ning and others who had just climbed up the city wall, and slowly raised the gun and aimed it outside.

Just getting close, Lu Ning felt a wave of chaotic emotions begin to flow into her mind. These A-level phantom beasts were born from these intertwined and mixed thoughts, and now they are beginning to affect the surroundings with such emotions.

It is impossible to read the exact emotion inside, and the thinking that belongs to human beings has long been lost. At the end of phantom star syndrome, these people have become fantasy.

Lu Ning quickly climbed down from the city wall, and there were already communication signals around. The surviving team after the previous thunder baptism had already begun to come, and continuously sent friendly authentication signals to the surroundings.Lu Ning didn't have time to take care of these certifications, she had to find a place to see what was inside the three iron boxes.

The drones flew out in all directions, and Qiu Shu didn't dare to let them fly too far. A curtain wall of bullets had already begun to appear in the distance. Mo Ningyan's army had fully launched its firepower, and there were even a few powerful shots mixed in. After shelling, the strange bird quickly showed a bit of fatigue, and was slowly suppressed by the barrage.

But this was only delayed for a while, more phantom beasts began to come out of the city, a big mouth full of sharp teeth bit through the city wall, followed by monsters of different shapes, compared to those natural mutations The phantom beasts, these phantom beasts born from the thinking of thousands of people in the No. 1 outpost have more postures and abilities.

Now that it has become a tendency to encircle, Lu Ning simply finds the nearest ravine and jumps down.The Planetary Scalpel cuts deep enough to avoid above-ground dangers; subsurface problems are trivial.

The people behind also jumped down, and while Lu Ning descended slowly, she also gathered a round of material distortion bombs, found a suitable position and lined up on the wall, and quickly opened a cave that could barely fit in.

"Lu Ning! Next we have to kill one!" Mo Lian came down the fastest, and before the others arrived, she whispered anxiously, "This kind of opportunity must be the best! Touched on the chaotic battlefield!" Last blow, don't forget this!"

"This is the distribution center pulling us into the battle." Lu Ning put down the box in her arms, "But before that, I want to see what method Pang Xu has researched."

The bayonets, Qiu Shu and others also landed quickly. Lu Ning changed hands and dug the cave a little deeper, turned on the searchlight, and studied the box a little. Use a knife to pry it open along the gap.

On it is handwritten text.

"That's... that's right, they can no longer use electronic recording, especially the part directly related to Phantom Star Syndrome." Mo Lianren sighed and helped Lu Ning pry open the other two boxes.

The three documents have the same cover format. In addition to the title indicating the content of this research, there is a warning: When you read this document, you will also become a member of the phantom star syndrome infected person, so consider carefully.

Lu Ning picked up the Observer's share first, and as expected, it was the escape pod plan.

Pang Xu also got the escape pod, so he has a deep understanding of its specific use.The observers have finally recognized the situation of this virus, but they have no chance to react, and only have a temporary feasible plan.The so-called escape cabin itself is a complex of a mental stabilization system and a memory cleansing system.Since the virus is stored on information, as long as the information is removed from the mind, the virus should be able to be cleaned up. As for the instability of genes, it is a small problem (according to the observer's technological level).However, the difficulty of memory erasure itself is very high. Before that, mental state stabilization and physical adjustment must be carried out, and the entire escape cabin is a system designed around this. The maximum capacity is ten members, and the distance will be as far as possible. , and use various techniques to stop thinking activities and weaken the effects of Phantom Star Syndrome.

It's such a well-established theory that even real escape pods have been made.But the biggest problem with this theory is time, preparation, amnestics, and even follow-up visits all take time. In addition, it is difficult to physically detect the phantom star virus, and observers have no chance to verify whether it is really effective.

The second document is the ranger's countermeasures against this disease. The idea chosen by this fierce race is equally magical. The plan is called the "individual civilization plan".

This virus deepens its influence through information interaction, and for group civilizations, the more developed the civilization contains, the greater the amount of information it contains, so it is completely unable to defend against virus attacks.That being the case, as long as the entire civilization converges on one individual, there will be no problem of being affected.This technology is already mature in the hands of the rangers. The "specimens" they collect from other civilization genes are similar products, and what they need to do further is to add more "civilization" to the concept of "civilization". things compressed into a body.

In terms of results, this plan is obviously more effective than observers, but it does not solve the current problem at all, not to mention that the idea of ​​all people becoming one can only be thought of by such a crazy race, Lu Ning I don't believe that someone will give up their independent existence and integrate into a complete whole.

Putting the document back into the box, she took out the part that Pang Xu studied.

Pang Xu's theory originated from a very classic saying, that is, highly poisonous substances must be accompanied by antidote drugs.

What Is Born With Phantom Star Syndrome?Eudemons.What is the nature of Eudemons?According to the selective mutation of thinking, the evolution of the ethnic group occurs.Pang Xu's entire theory is based on this characteristic. Since Phantom Beasts can mutate into some unimaginable superpowers, is it possible to make Phantom Beasts mutate into "antibodies against Phantom Star Syndrome" through some inducements? This feature?His research combined all the theories of observers and rangers. Based on the circumstantial evidence of the two, Pang Xu has cultivated some phantom beasts that can produce drugs that "beneficially compensate the spirit". The drugs used by the black armor before are actually That's the product.

Even this type of medicine is used to suppress those potential mutations, and will be mixed in their food to effectively suppress their further mutations.However, Pang Xu's research has reached this stage. This drug has been proven to be effective for Phantom Star Syndrome, but it only keeps the condition at the current stage and blocks the external stimulation. It may take a long time to realize the therapeutic effect. further research.

While Lu Ning was looking at the documents, the rest of the people were also passing them around to read them. They were very hot, and occasionally some gravel fell down, but everyone didn't care much.

After all the documents had been passed around, Lu Ning put them back into the box and packed them in backpacks with Mo Lianren and Qiu Shu respectively, and then asked, "Tell me what you think?"

"Ah? What... can we have an opinion?" Spade was stunned for a moment, "Captain, you can decide."

"The supernova explosion is just around the corner. We may not have time to test one by one. We must choose the most likely one from the three paths. Of course, we can seek help from others, but these three documents can only be given to infected people. Look, it can't be sent back to the starship." Lu Ning said, "I'm not sure I made the most correct choice."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but the first one to stand up was Spider Silk.

"I may be the only person here who has had a little contact with...specific research projects." Spider Silk's voice was a bit difficult, "If it were me, I would choose to try the means of the Rangers."

"Reason." Lu Ning did not express any surprise.

"Although Pang Xu's experiment has achieved phased success, it does not help the essence, and does not even have a future to look forward to. If we have enough time, it would be great to continue his research, but there is no If there is time, his research will not produce any value. As for the observers, their plans are a bit too large. We have also obtained one of the escape pods. According to the information sent back by the dragon veins, the complexity of its system is our current level. Craftsmanship is difficult to imitate, so at most it will repair some existing ones and protect a few dozen people who can only drift in space until the treatment is completed. This future... terrifies me."

Spider Silk shuddered.

"As for the rangers, their ideas are too extreme. In fact, as long as a few isolated individuals are preserved, similar plans can be completed."

"I don't agree!" Spade immediately raised his hand.

"You..." Spider Silk glanced at him and sat down in frustration, "I also know that their thinking is a bit extreme, but I don't have any good ideas."

"It's so boring to live alone! And the civilization of one person is a fart civilization? Are you floating in the universe and become an ancient god? It's better for everyone to die! Or find a solution that everyone can solve, Either we all die together, and I don't think that's right to make people look like that in order to preserve a little civility!"

Spades spoke in a hurry, as if he couldn't convince himself if he didn't speak so fast.Lu Ning looked at the rest of the people, and through the transparent helmet, she could see the expressions of everyone, hesitation, fear, loss... Even Qiu Shu's face was a little painful.Before, I might be able to comfort myself that my death in the phantom star exploration was a sacrifice for the alliance, but now it is the civilization behind me that is threatening here, so it is strange that my mood is not affected.

"I don't care about my own life or death that much..." Tie Mei gritted his teeth and said, "But mine...they are all in the alliance, they should live well...if you can desperately lock all the viruses in this galaxy , I admit it too. Captain, my mind is very messed up, even back then I was never this messed up..."

The strong man also hugged his head and buried it between his knees.

everyone……

Lu Ning's eyes flicked, the psychological quality of the insect bait was not good, and the expression now seemed to be crying.Qingniao and Kong Gu's hands had been held together at some point, trembling violently.The members of Mo Lianren's team also had a dejected look. They thought about this problem, and the more they thought about it, the more desperate they became.

"bayonet."

She looked at the last person whose expression didn't change except herself and Mo Lianren.

"I don't know, captain." Bayonet smiled softly, "I don't think about things that are too far away, and I don't think about what kind of future the alliance that is light years away will face. If I want to fight, I will fight as much as possible , if you die in battle, then it's the turn of other living people to think about this issue."

"But I gave you the position of vice captain." Lu Ning also smiled, "You have to give me an answer."

"Ah, then I think, the first target is that supernova, as long as it doesn't erupt, even if it collapses naturally, even if we are all wiped out, the virus will not spread to the entire universe, at least we have achieved something like this? "The bayonet said without thinking.

As soon as this sentence was said, several people's eyes immediately lit up.
