The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.
Chapter 354: The "Refuge" of the Monster Organization
"Who... are you...? Why do you have... strange powers... in your body?" The weirdo did not answer Shen Ge's question, but squeezed out a few words in a halting manner.
From the way it speaks, it can be seen that the monster's functions as a "human" are slowly disappearing, and even speaking a complete sentence has become very difficult. It is not known whether it is transforming into an unconscious monster, or because it has just become a monster and has problems controlling the strange cells in its body.
"It seems that you still don't understand who is asking the question." Shen Ge said lightly, and then with a flash of the knife, one of the monster's hands was cut off.
"Oh, you forgot that your hands can grow back. Hands can grow longer, but the head can't grow longer, right?" As Shen Ge spoke, he slashed at the left side of the head that was chopped off to half, and this time the neck was also chopped off.
The monster had no sense of pain. Even after one of its heads was chopped off, the expression on its dead face remained unchanged. It just kept muttering things like "Who the hell are you?" It was obvious that it was puzzled that Shen Ge could completely suppress its strange power, and that the mysterious sticky substance could not stop its attack.
"Okay, I'd like to see if you can still be stubborn even after being chopped into a human pig?" Shen Ge was no longer "polite" to the weirdo. He directly used the Uncanny Domain and the butcher knife to start dismembering the weirdo. This made Fang Mingyue and others who were used to seeing weird things feel their stomachs churning.
Finally, the weirdo couldn't stand the control of the strange domain and was successfully cut into a human pig by Shen Ge. The dead man's face finally had some different expressions.
"You can't kill me. In the end, you will become God's nourishment." The weirdo said intermittently.
Shen Ge frowned slightly when he heard this. Although the weirdo's words sounded nonsensical, he had dealt with several weirdo organizations many times in "reality". Even though he hadn't figured out their true purpose, he was very familiar with some of their "terms".
The "God" naturally refers to the man-made ghost king, and the so-called "nutrients" are those cadres who were deceived into sacrificing themselves.
For example, Ye Jingwen.
The "intelligence" said by other "Tian Gan" cadres may be half true and half false, but the information said by Ye Jingwen is most likely true.
The reason is very simple, because she is also a victim deceived by the "Heavenly Stems". In order to avenge her sister, she did not hesitate to become the nourishment of the artificial ghost king.
"So... this artificial monster king was created by you. Is your base here? Or is this just a place for your experiments? Are you staying here to merge with the giant monster and achieve the purpose of controlling it, or are you just abandoned here as nutrients for the monster?" Shen Ge asked in a deep voice, staring at the hideous dead face on the ground.
After hearing what Shen Ge said, it was fortunate that the dead face's eyes had turned white, otherwise his eyeballs would have bulged out of surprise.
"You, you, you, who are you, and why do you know about us, and why do you know about the Weird King's plan?" Even if the dead face wasn't stuttering due to surprise, the frequency with which it spoke could tell how shocked it was at this moment.
"So I'm right? So the sticky substance that protected you just now is actually a part of the body of the artificial ghost king. It is not protecting you, but protecting the food?" Shen Ge said.
The Dead Face did not respond this time, but his body, which had become a human pig, trembled slightly. It was unknown whether he was frightened by the information revealed by Shen Ge or shocked by Shen Ge's terrifying strength.
Shen Ge increased the release of his strange energy and strengthened the invisible barrier to prevent the dead-faced monster from escaping. Then he said to Fang Mingyue, "Tell two people to carry it. Let's leave here first."
"Wang Jin, Qian Jiu. Carry up Guiyi and walk in the middle of the team, quickly." Fang Mingyue turned around and said to Wang Jin and others who were not far away.
"Yes!"
The two men immediately stepped forward and saw the monster that had been chopped into a human pig and the rotten human hands all over the ground. Wang Jin looked at Shen Ge and asked tentatively: "Captain Shen, do you want to find a rope to tie it up?"
Shen Ge stepped on the transparent invisible barrier and said, "No need. I have trapped it in a special way. You just need to move this 'box'."
Wang Jin touched it tentatively with his hand, and sure enough, he touched an invisible wall of air. He immediately thought of the fire that he had seen blocked by the air wall in the cave before. Although everyone had long guessed that this must be Shen Ge's method, they were still shocked after it was confirmed.
Wang Jin almost blurted out "Brother, are you Superman?", but thinking that this might be Shen Ge's secret, he did not dare to ask more, and quickly and honestly carried the "coffin" with Qian Jiu.
Shen Ge has already confirmed from the dead-faced monster that this is the situation inside the body of the artificial ghost king, so there is no need to continue exploring in the cave. Relying on the experience of passing through the cave last time, he leads everyone to find an exit.
The dead-faced monster was carried by Wang Jin and the other man, repeating some meaningless words intermittently, either asking about Shen Ge's identity or proclaiming the power of "God".
A few hours later, Shen Ge and a group of people successfully found the "exit" and left the cave, but unfortunately, it was not the strange space without any strange existence at the beginning.
Because when everyone came out of the cave, they found a strange, completely rotten corpse at the entrance of the jungle not far away.
Going further, we found that a road had been artificially cut through the jungle. In order to prevent the plants from regenerating at a high speed, two rows of fences were built with plant stems to lead the regenerated plants back into the jungle, thus forming a natural "boulevard".
"Shen Ge, these should be man-made, and judging from the shape of the fence, it is very similar to the rope tying method taught in our army. Do you think... they could be soldiers from the exploration team?" Fang Mingyue asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a "swish" sound in the grass, as if a figure flashed by and disappeared into the grass.
"Who!" Everyone immediately became alert, and Shen Ge instructed them to keep an eye on the dead-faced monster, so most of the soldiers protected Wang Jin.
Shen Ge thought for a moment and said, "Retreat to the cave entrance. The terrain there is relatively open. You stay there and keep an eye on the weirdos. I'll go check the camp."
"Shall I go with you?" Fang Mingyue asked. Shen Ge said, "I feel more at ease if you stay here. Besides, it will be more convenient for me to act alone, and it will be easier for me to escape if I encounter a high-level weirdness."
Although Shen Ge spoke politely, his words were full of the meaning of "Don't bother if you're a noob", which made Fang Mingyue realize once again that as a captain, her combat skills might be acceptable in the shelter, but she would only be a drag in front of real masters. She was immediately extremely frustrated.
Shen Ge walked forward along the "boulevard" for a distance, and then directly activated the three characteristics of "invisible + silent + traceless" to avoid being discovered.
When we arrived at the camp, we saw a strange creature, nearly two meters tall, hunched over like a chimpanzee and covered with black sticky substance, crawling out of a tent and "wandering" around the camp, as if looking for something.
Shen Ge estimated that the strength of this monster was only level three. With its strength, it naturally could not discover Shen Ge in the three-characteristic state, so he went straight into the camp and followed the monster, as if he wanted to see what it was going to do.
Gradually, Shen Ge discovered that this strange creature did not seem to be looking for something, but seemed to be imitating human behavior and "living" in the camp.
It just has "form" but no "meaning". To put it simply, it is numbly repeating actions, as if the parasite has completely lost consciousness and is constantly repeating the behaviors it did in its previous life.
But judging from its strange abilities and body structure, it must be an alienated animal like an "orangutan". Ordinary people do not have such a physique, so it is unlikely to be a monster.
If a monster gradually develops behaviors that imitate humans, then humans have to be careful. Does it mean that they will one day have consciousness?
Shen Ge couldn't help but think of the weirdness of the fusion of the underground of the Dajing blockade area and the underground research institute in this world. In order to swallow each other's eight hundred minds, it is not an exaggeration to say that "consciousness" has been born with the weirdness in its belly.
Although it does not yet have "thinking", this is already very different from the previous weirdness where it only acted on instinct.
In the past, the monsters would only rely on brute force to charge forward, rely on their powerful regenerative abilities to withstand damage, rely on their weird energy to protect themselves, and rely on their special abilities to destroy the world. Their power had never been properly utilized and developed. But when they have such awareness, the fourth or fifth level monsters can be as strong as the sixth or seventh level!
Shen Ge followed the weird creature and asked the system to scan it. The only information the system scanned was the strength and ability of its weird power, but the name given was "weird" instead of a monster, which denied the possibility that it was a human being transformed.
Shen Ge also took the opportunity to search several tents and found that this camp was somewhat different from the "mountain" where they first came without any strange existence. That camp was clean and tidy, without any signs of fighting. In contrast, this camp was covered with blood stains, and the tents were tattered and full of bullet holes, which showed that they had experienced a fierce battle.
"The strange space is a special fragment space formed by dream fragments. I have indeed encountered multiple distorted spaces in the bodies of high-level weird beings before, but the dream power on them is not obvious, which is completely different from the dream fragments that appeared after the world collapsed."
"And from the teleportation ability mastered by the Monster Organization and the Ghost King they created, we can infer that they must have mastered a certain amount of dream power."
"The dream fragments of this world have not been completely extracted. I originally thought it was because the world has not completely collapsed. It seems that they have been taken away by the monster organization a long time ago, thus creating this artificial ghost king with several pieces of broken space connected in its abdomen."
"No wonder there is a 'mountain' without any weirdness in this strange body, as well as various 'camps' with similar but different conditions. These should all be left by the exploration team from the world they belong to."
"Is the purpose of the Monster Organization creating this artificial King of Ghosts to build the last refuge for mankind, or what do they want to use it for?"
In "reality", the real purpose of several weird organizations is actually not clear. There is an obvious conflict between what they do and the answers they give. The only thing that is certain is that every incident of artificial ghost king they create is an experiment under the guise of "revenge".
The ultimate purpose of the experiment is completely unknown. As for the so-called "revenge" against other countries for the Haiya Research Institute, it is actually untenable.
It seems that the serious strange disasters that have occurred are either in South Korea or countries like Japan that have historical grievances with the Great Celestial Empire, but in fact, there are quite a few strange disasters in the Great Celestial Empire as well.
The strange disaster in Dajing was caused by the "Twelve Zodiac Signs", and the incident in the villa area of Rong City was also related to the monster organization. Even without Shen Ge's intervention, Liu Zongrui might be the next man-made monster king!
Therefore, the only thing Shen Ge could be sure of was that no matter which world the monster organization was in, they all wanted to conduct some kind of experiment through the artificial Ghost King.
At the same time, they are also worried that they will be eliminated by the weirdness of this world, so they also use the power of the forces to control the countries behind the scenes and spare no effort to build "shelters" one after another.
For example, the "spires" and "high-rise buildings" in the previous dream worlds and the complete shelter facilities inside can prove this point.
But the tragic final scenes of those collapsed worlds have proven that this plan is not actually feasible. If we cannot stop the spread of strange energy, we will not be able to stop the appearance of strange things. Once strange things appear inside the shelter, it means that the building will eventually collapse from the inside.
This is why after Shen Ge discovered that the "mountains" had rich plant resources and fertile land, he thought of asking Deng Yuqi to move the shelter here. With a seventh-level or even higher-level monster as "shelter", it can absorb the weird energy released by the earth and suppress low-level monsters. It is undoubtedly a natural "treasure land".
Of course, surviving in the body of a weird thing also has certain risks. The first thing to confirm is whether the "parasites" in the body of a weird thing can freely enter and exit various weird spaces. Otherwise, once the base is built and is discovered by "Dashan" who dispatches a large army of antibodies, the shelter will never be able to stop it with its strength.
And Shen Ge couldn't stay in this world for long, the most he could do was to help as much as possible. He also had some selfish motives in doing so, in order to leave a way out for himself and build a refuge of his own.
The second is the characteristics of the "mountain". Why does it appear in a situation that is completely different from the previous weirdness? Weirdness represents death and destruction, while the "mountain" is full of vitality.
After encountering the dead-faced monster, Shen Ge finally found the answer. That is, the monster organization in this world obviously wanted to turn the "mountain" into a shelter, so they invested some characteristics representing "vitality" in it, which made the plants here abnormally lush and the land fertile.
Since the Monster Organization has helped pave the way and sent such a big gift, Shen Ge naturally will not miss it. He wants to take control of the "Mountain" before the Monster Organization completes its control.
Although Shen Ge does not have the "fusion power" of a monster, and it is not realistic to let the system swallow the "mountain", but... he has several dream fragments in his hands, and thousands of dream powers! (End of this chapter)
