Returning from the abyss

Chapter 566 Karma Clock

A clear white line appeared in the clouds.

"I didn't find the team members' signals on the phantom star, and there was no feedback from Captain Morian's signal."

Longmai drives an aircraft shaped like a flying saucer, carrying Lu Ning to move at high speed to the other end of the phantom star.The maneuverability of this flight vehicle transformed from an escape capsule has surpassed that of a landing craft, but the external sealing structure has not been adjusted, otherwise it can directly carry out space navigation.

The white fox is also here, but she has kept silent since receiving Lu Ning up, because according to Longmai, she is worried about her team members.Lu Ning was not very surprised by this result. Tianmuyi's actions and changes were too hasty, and people were involved without even having time to react. It is actually normal for all kinds of accidents to occur. What she has to consider now is whether to be merciful or not. Waiting for the person to be stopped or the space coordinate position given by Mo Ningyan is simply false.

Soon, Outpost No. 10 was seen in the clouds. Longmai let the escape pod hover in the clouds and took a set of perspective scanning images. After the high-speed processing results came out, the three of them frowned at the same time.

There are not many soldiers left in the entire outpost, and there is no life response inside, and all of them have obviously been evacuated.The outpost opened a hole as if it had been attacked, and Mo Ningyan was even missing.The strangest thing about the entire image is that there is a whole long blurred block in the several layers of the outpost, which means that image analysis cannot be performed.

Observer's technology is extremely handy in investigations. This is not an investigation of extremely harsh environments such as giant eyes. How can there be things that cannot be photographed?
"It's only in this area that we can't confirm whether there is anyone there. Captain, the external shooting shows that the space point leading to Tianmuyi still exists, and we don't need to go in."

"No, Longmai, I want to see what Mo Ningyan is up to." Lu Ning shook her head, "Descent, you don't have to follow."

"That won't work, there are only three of us, and there is nowhere to find them if we get lost again." Longmai smiled, "Although I am not as good at fighting as the bayonet spade, I can still take two hits with the combat uniform. If there is any danger, run away immediately." , I promise not to cause trouble for you."

Lu Ning was a little dumbfounded: "Landing, let's go in and have a look together."

The escape pod landed safely on the already empty square.The white fox followed Lu Ning and Longmai out silently, and had no opinion on Lu Ning's decision.The three came to the gate of the outpost and were stopped by two mechanical soldiers there: "Outpost No. 10, please show your identity."

Lu Ning reported the code for receiving the weapon, and the two mechanical soldiers froze for a moment, then left and right to get out of the way.

"Mo Ningyan doesn't seem to have restricted the right of passage of this code." Lu Ning was also a little surprised, she was going to dig in from another place when the road was blocked.

"The place where the person number 001 rebuilt doesn't seem to make much sense. She just remodeled most of the rooms to produce a large number of soldiers. For this reason, she almost hollowed out the surrounding mine veins, and almost all the phantom beasts were hunted down." Longmai retrieved the information from the previous wide-area search of the escape cabin, "This is almost destructive to the ecology of this area. It seems that Captain Mo Ningyan has not planned to take this land of the phantom star for a long time, so he can prepare it early." This army."

"You really admire her?" Lu Ning turned her head and asked.

"Captain, what you said about the situation of Tianmu Yishang, isn't it because of the strength in her hands that she can suppress it? More than 1 troops have all been thrown into the battlefield, and the No. [-] outpost will be killed at the risk of complete annihilation." Dangerously locked, I really admire this kind of courage."

Lu Ning is not very good at talking, she can't say that it is a convenient thing for Mo Ningyan, right?
At this moment, the white fox suddenly said: "This corridor has experienced battles."

"Huh?" Longmai looked around, but found nothing.Lu Ning carefully checked the surroundings with the detector, only to see that a part of the wall had been newly painted.

"Bloodstains and the like were splashed on it, and the automatic cleaning program of the outpost will chip off a layer of the wall, and then fill it up with metal coating fluid." Baihu said in a low voice, "It looks like the outside has been treated. The hole should be The ones left from the fighting were attacked by some enemy here."

"However, since there will be soldiers staying behind, it means that Mo Ningyan won in the end. Her soldiers will not obey other people's orders without authorization, and all those with authorization are on Tianmuyi." Lu Ning said while comparing the map, and walked in front of a door.

Sensing someone approaching, the door opened automatically, and the crushed fragments of the training chamber were scattered all over the place. The vast room seemed to have been crushed, and all of them were turned into flat pieces. It even reminded Lu Ning of the original exploration outpost The first body I saw while standing.

With these contrasts, the huge clock formed by the opposite wall of the room is even more conspicuous.That's where the blurry image that can't be taken is also located.

a big clock?Why would Mo Ningyan build such a device at the outpost?Or does it just look like a clock?
Lu Ning's attention was first attracted by the clock, but suddenly there was a sound of falling beside her, and when she turned her head, it was the dragon's veins.

"what happened?"

"That... that..." Longmai covered his heart in shock, "I don't know what it is! Did you see it?"

With the direction of his finger, Lu Ning and Baihu looked under the clock together.

The glass sink... This was the first cognition transmitted to the brain, but after that, Lu Ning suddenly felt a sense of nausea and fear, and a certain animal instinct-like fear instantly penetrated the whole body, which was different from what he had seen before. Compared with all the monsters in the scene, this one gives the most direct horror, and also makes people feel a fact that is worse than death.

Baihu's legs also went limp, and he half-kneeled on the ground, covered his mouth and retched a few times, his face turned blue.

Lu Ning knew that her expression was not much better. She was able to stand thanks to the mental will honed in so many scenes, but if she just looked at it one more time, she might be so scared that she could no longer move half a step. .

"Mo Ningyan... really prepared a good thing..."

Lu Ning closed her eyes, trying to expel the feeling she just saw from her mind. So far she has not figured out the essence of that thing, but she already understands the danger of that thing.

At this moment, the surrounding lights dimmed, the clock mechanism was hidden in the darkness, a beam of light hit the center of the room, and the sound of Mo Ningyan sounded.

[The one who triggered this certification should be Lu Ning.I set a little delay, so you should have seen what I have in store for you.

I want to overcome you, not this boring victory or defeat in terms of force, this is my test for you, and it is also your test for me.I've turned Outpost 10 into a karma clock - I named it, and all you have to do is find another solution before it gets to the point where I have to activate it.

This mission needs a perfect ending, or eternal burial, if you can't do the former, I'll choose the latter, it's that simple.Of course, you can also try to stop the karmic clock, but I don't think you can, because I couldn't do it myself.

I have already gone to Tianmuyi, and the final battlefield is being opened. The return node there was damaged by some A-level life, and it is now invalid. If it is not repaired, everyone on Tianmuyi will die, and this is not perfect either. of.

Prove to me that you deserve that victory.You have defeated time, so this time transcend cause and effect. 】

This guy really dares to say...

"Victorious over time? What do you mean?"

"I didn't know Captain Lu Ning had such great achievements before."

The two behind them immediately expressed their doubts in the last sentence.

Lu Ning raised her forehead, did Mo Ningyan think that she might bring someone in?She must have wanted it, that's why she said this on purpose!In addition to the huge test in front of her, she actually tripped her a little bit. This guy is a lot more wicked than he looks on the surface.

However, after she explained from the side, the fear that Lu Ning had just left has faded a lot.The light came back on, and she didn't look at the clock again. Even if she knew the general purpose of the clock now, it was impossible for her to counteract that fear, because that fear came from the cognitive shock of the sixth sense, and she couldn't control it at all.

The karma clock... This is what it said in the data, Mo Ningyan once caused some irreversible damage in a certain scene.

After she learned of Mo Ningyan's existence, she also conducted some inquiries. There is always someone in the Rose Cross who knows some secret information. With the help of friends like Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan, she quickly found out who she was with Mo Ningyan. Survived tourist information in the same scene.

Rosicrucian funded and helped them deal with the soul pollution, but the memories of these tourists were almost washed into a blank sheet of paper. After a certain amount of counseling at the distribution center, they slowly used knowledge and experience to make up for this part of the lack. die in the scene.

There is no information about that scene at all, only based on the commotion, the commotion caused by Mo Ningyan is not small.Even if she just made an unintentional mistake that time, after being able to do it once, with her intelligence, she will definitely turn this strategy into a weapon.

"We have destroyed this place. Anyway, no matter what the device is, as long as it stops running..." Longmai raised his gun, covered his eyes and pointed at the karma clock.Lu Ning immediately pressed his hand: "Forget it, conventional weapons can only deal with conventional targets. Before it is officially operational, a stone can be destroyed, but now ordinary attacks cannot stop it at all."

"Captain Lu Ning knows what this is?" Baihu asked.

"I know, but there is nothing I can do." Lu Ning shook her head, "Let me put it simply, this is the countdown to the life that Mo Ningyan prepared for this galaxy."

"Star—wait, galaxy?" Longmai was stunned. "Weapons that destroy galaxies with one blow? The alliance doesn't have a star detonator, does it? And that can only be used if the star itself has a moderate mass. This thing..."

"With the technology of Rangers and Observers, don't just think about the level that the Alliance can achieve. To be honest, the level of technology on the battlefield in this galaxy has far exceeded the friction between several alliances in our place. .”

Lu Ning shook her head, trying to expel the last influence of the karma clock out of her mind.

"But since Mo Ningyan said Tianmuyi, I have to go back. Our people are all over there, and we have to pick them up."

"Then I-"

"Longmai, you have to drive the escape pod back. You have to repair the spaceflight parts of the escape pod as much as possible. We have to leave a backup for our return." Lu Ning didn't let Longmai say anything, and immediately assigned him a task.Then she looked at Baihu again: "Baihu, I'm not qualified to order you directly, you decide whether to stay or not."

"I will go to Tianmuyi." Baihu said decisively, "I will be with the team members in all battles, and I will not be absent this time."

"You are a good lieutenant." Lu Ning patted her on the shoulder, "There should be extra equipment, let's change it."

"It's you, Captain Lu Ning, you still haven't healed from the injury from the A-level phantom battle, which will affect your body movement response. I don't recommend that you return to the most dangerous state in this state. The battle zone." The white fox followed up.

"A lieutenant of yours is unwilling to be absent. As the captain, I can't pick up my team members?"

"So...just a suggestion." The white fox smiled slightly, "Then shall we go?"

"Set off."

Longmai also laughed: "Be careful all the way, we will definitely pick you up in an escape pod, captain!"

"Longmai, you never let me down, keep it until the end."

"Xiang Yi, you did it."

Sun Tianfeng's voice came from the communicator, and Xiang Yi snorted.

"Why did you destroy the node? How do we leave? There is no oxygen in this ghostly place, and the oxygen reserves of the spacesuit can last up to three days! Are you going to let us all suffocate to death after three days?" Sun Tianfeng's voice was a little out of breath.

"Old Sun, don't you know who I am?" Xiang Yi pulled out the dagger from his waist, showing a bloody smile, "Look, those guys always want to escape from the node if they can't beat the A-level, there is a way out, This means that there is no determination to fight desperately. When you know that you are fighting with your back, you will really work hard to live and buy more time. Three days... is not a problem."

"Three days is not a problem? What do you want to do, you bastard? Haven't you notified me yet?"

"It's not what I want to do. The blue giant star is not more than three days away from erupting. What's the point of how much oxygen is left? If we don't solve these things, we will sit down and watch the supernova together. If we solve them, we can be rescued. What's the difference? "Xiang Yi stabbed the knife into the crack of the door, slid it down, and easily cut off the inner lock.

"What can be rescued if it is solved?"

"I want those self-righteous tourists to put in all their energy." He roared excitedly from the depths of his throat, "Because of this, Outpost No. 1 must actually be destroyed. Old Sun, I To help you, Du Xieyi is too strong, and Mo Ningyan is too strong. If we use ordinary things to delay them, it will be self-destruction. We must put the burden of the entire galaxy on them to crush them to death. "

Sun Tianfeng started swearing, and Xiang Yi turned off the communication directly.

The door was opened, and inside was a network of countless pipelines and blood vessels. A person was bound inside. He heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes.

"who are you?"

After these words, a flying knife was nailed into his neck.

"Since your death, the Astral Phagocytosis Project has been on the verge of failure."
