Chapter 432 Numbers
Blend into one.
Lin Xian thought he had misheard. His power armor had the recording function turned on. It was obvious that what Chen Yanxiu said meant that he might have really communicated with the dark civilization. At least such an idea did not sound like something that humans could think of.
From Chu Yan, Lin Xian learned that the Crimson World was originally dominated by digital life and mechanical revolution, but after the development of mycelium technology, its concepts of life forms, superpowers, and consciousness have undergone extremely distorted changes.
But what Chen Yanxiu said was obviously not what they were pursuing, but what they were waiting for.
"It sounds like you have already had very direct communication with the dark civilization?" Lin Xian looked at Chen Yanxiu and asked his question.
Chen Yanxiu smiled slightly when he heard this, raised his hands, and did not directly answer Lin Xian's question, but said.
"Eliminate all suffering and tyranny. The world will belong to a superior civilization. You can choose to accept it, or you can choose to be eliminated by evolution. Captain Lin, please believe that this is not just a slogan. It is not mixed with any interests, hostility, morality or value orientation. It has nothing to do with race or... country."
"Lin Xian, this guy seems to have been completely brainwashed." KIKI spoke directly at this time.
Lin Xian looked at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him, and when he heard his words, he had a vague feeling for a moment, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human being, but another strange race.
Why does this feeling come about?
Lin Xian raised his eyes and suddenly found that his consciousness was a little dazed. The figures in front of him were strangely overlapping. His first reaction was that the other party might be using some means, or he felt a very strange energy surging from the other party.
So Lin Xian immediately used the Mechanical Heart to cover him. He wanted to find out what kind of taboos were activated in the other person, and whether there was anything that could be restricted about this person.
But strangely, his brain seemed to be experiencing some kind of chaotic flashing, and his vision began to distort. He saw Chen Yanxiu smiling, opening his mouth, and saying something in a voice that was sometimes far away and sometimes near...
"It seems... you are also obsessed with the power of forbidden objects. You should know that these are all gifts from the Lord."
"Lin Xian!"
"Captain Lin!"
Seeing Lin Xian's face turn pale and he was about to collapse, everyone immediately realized that something was wrong. KIKI directly supported Lin Xian, and Shizhi, who felt the huge fluctuation in Lin Xian's mental power, suddenly panicked and immediately used her special ability on Lin Xian. However, this time, when her special ability was input into Lin Xian's mind, a bottomless black hole suddenly appeared in front of her eyes and suddenly sucked her in. The next moment, an endless blood-red color in the darkness rushed towards her, directly shocking Shizhi away.
"ah……"
Suddenly, something strange happened. Xiaoqing and Huo Ge beside him looked at Chen Yanxiu and attacked instantly!
"Fire Fist!"
"Shadow Slash!"
The two men shouted softly, and violent force arrived in an instant. In just a moment, the sharp edge had reached his throat and the fire fist was in his face.
Click~
At this moment, Chen Yanxiu suddenly opened his pocket watch. In his sight, all the attacks seemed to be frozen and distorted at this moment. He then looked at Lin Xian and said in a low voice:
"We will meet again, Sword Bearer."
When he finished speaking, he took out another strange gear and then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Lin Xian's consciousness was rising wildly. He felt that he was being taken away from the blue planet at an astonishing speed. The space was getting darker and darker. When his eyes fixed, he suddenly found that a huge man-made space device quickly appeared in front of him, the South Heaven Gate!
Afterwards, Lin Xian's consciousness directly penetrated the outer shell of the Nantianmen, passed through the passage, and entered Grace's Flashing Bullet Communicator.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that he was being forcibly pulled by the power of the forbidden object, and then broke through the South Heaven Gate and headed towards the dark nebula deep in the universe.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xian had completely lost track of where he was. All he saw before him was a vast expanse of darkness. He tried his best to look, as if something was staring at him, but he could see nothing.
At this moment, starlight converged in Lin Xian's vision. At first, he thought it was the universe shifting, but as time went on, he discovered that the starlight seemed to appear in his retina. As his head turned, the starlight followed in sync. Then, the starlight dots converged into a kind of line, and finally, into a string of numbers...
34:32:11
And the next second, the number becomes
34:32:10
"Is this... a countdown?!"
Lin Xian was horrified. He shouted towards the dark void.
"Who are you? What's your purpose in coming to Blue Star?!"
No response.
The universe seemed to be silent.
Lin Xian wanted to erase the numbers from his sight, but found it was useless. He could only watch the countdown moving forward.
The next moment, his consciousness suddenly began to fall and retreat, and in an instant, he returned to the steel platform of the offshore submarine base.
"call!"
Lin Xian took a deep breath and came to his senses. He found that Xiaoqing and Brother Huo in front of him were attacking at the same time, and Chen Yanxiu had left a strange wave in the original place, which gradually disappeared.
He didn't know what was happening in front of him, but when he saw this scene, he didn't think much about it and just raised his hand!
Gravitational lens!
After hearing about the characteristics of Chen Yanxiu's silver pocket watch, he had already thought that it was entirely possible to use gravity to block the opponent's space-time force field. Lin Xian wanted to keep this guy. As the leader of the Holy Revelation, he must have a lot of secrets. He and Ye Lan's plan was to follow the clues to find the real core of the Advent Sect, so Lin Xian directly attacked with all his strength and didn't want this guy to run away!
Buzz!
In an instant, a distorted space appeared out of thin air where Chen Yanxiu disappeared, and began to tear apart the space-time force field. This trick was indeed effective. Under the influence of the gravitational field, the space-time force field that caused Chen Yanxiu to disappear on the spot began to change. In the transparent space ripples, a rapidly withdrawing figure appeared beside Xiaoqing, and Lin Xian's gravitational lens just grabbed one of his arms!
Chen Yanxiu's originally calm expression suddenly changed at this moment. He suddenly looked at Lin Xian and then at his left hand. The black gear in his hand and his entire arm were being madly sucked into the gravitational field.
At this moment, everyone around remained in a solidified state. Only Lin Xian broke Chen Yanxiu's space-time force field. The two looked at each other from a distance. The doubt in Chen Yanxiu's eyes gradually turned into coldness. He then glared at Lin Xian, gritted his teeth, and loosened his left hand. He broke free before his skin and flesh were quickly peeled off and the acceleration of his space-time force field was offset, and then disappeared again.
Lin Xian's eyes darkened. How many taboos did this guy have on him? He could no longer expand the gravitational lens, otherwise Xiaoqing and Brother Huo would be affected first. So he retracted his fingers and immediately removed the gravitational lens.
boom!
The next moment, the Fire Fist and Shadow Slash pierced through, raising a wave of air that directly flattened the guardrails of the steel platform in front.
Xiaoqing and Huo Ge only then realized that Chen Yanxiu, who was so close to them, had disappeared out of thin air under their attack, and they both looked confused.
"Strange?!"
"Disappeared?"
"No need to chase." Lin Xian stood still at this time, and glanced over. The assistant beside Chen Yanxiu had fallen to the ground and died at some point, and below them, more than a dozen people from the Holy City Organization also died suddenly.
"Lin Xian, what's wrong with you?" KIKI supported Lin Xian and asked hurriedly.
"fine."
Ning Jing looked down and frowned, "Why are they all dead?"
"It should be some kind of remote-controlled suicide device. This group... isn't just armed personnel, there are researchers as well." Lin Xian's eyes narrowed. "It looks like they've all been silenced."
At this time, only Lin Xian's team was left in the huge submarine harbor.
"What about the guy named Chen?" Ning Jing was confused. Everything that happened just now was too weird. In her opinion, it just happened in a moment.
"He ran away." Lin Xian walked forward and squatted, extending his hand to scan the black gears on the ground, and said, "It seems that besides the submarine, there are other ways to escape. This guy has quite a few secrets."
"What is this?" KIKI walked up and asked.
"The forbidden object... should be what he uses to escape." Lin Xian raised his hand to create a lead box and put the item in it. After careful observation, he found that it seemed to be the clutch wheel of a car, but it had turned completely black, and reflected a strange dark red light under the light.
"As expected of a great figure of divine revelation, he has more than one forbidden item on him." Lin Xian thought to himself at this moment, the things on this guy are really amazing, and he doesn't know whether the characteristics of the silver pocket watch are true or false, but it seems that Chen Yanxiu did not lie.
It can actually generate the kind of space-time force field in the Star Abyss. It is simply a magical weapon. If there is no way to restrain it, it will be really difficult to deal with such a thing.
"Will that guy come back?" Ning Jing said seriously, "His forbidden items are really hard to deal with. Should we search this place?"
Lin Xian put away the black gear in the lead box and said in a deep voice
"If he comes back, he might never be able to leave again, but we should be careful."
As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes and was shocked to find that the countdown that had just appeared in the starry sky actually appeared in his sight.
34:29:22
"What's wrong with you?" KIKI noticed Lin Xian's abnormality and asked.
"I saw some strange things..."
Lin Xian's expression was solemn. He realized without having to guess that the countdown in front of him was definitely not a good sign. At the same time, he felt a chill down his spine. He didn't know whether what had just happened was caused by Chen Yanxiu or for some other reason. But Lin Xian realized that the forbidden object he possessed was no longer just a treasure on some level, but had some connection with the dark civilization. The situation he was most worried about before seemed to be coming true.
Lin Xian's mind was in a mess at this time, and he felt powerless as if he was being watched by the darkness, but he had no way to do anything.
What does this countdown mean?
The end of life?
Unknown disaster?
Will the world change?
Why did the dark civilization give up on killing him? What kind of monster is Uniga No. 1 and what is its relationship with the Galan Volcano? What exactly does the life fusion conveyed by the dark civilization mean according to Chen Yanxiu? Can all the forbidden objects still be used?
Lin Xian had no idea.
Chi.
He untied the armor on his head, walked to the edge of the steel platform, held on to the handrail, took a few deep breaths to suppress his surging and chaotic thoughts, and cold sweat ran down his face. The people on the side looked at each other. KIKI realized what Lin Xian might have encountered, but seeing Lin Xian's complicated expression, she couldn't bear to go forward to disturb him, so she could only watch silently.
Whether Lin Xian closed his eyes or opened them, the countdown in his vision was clearly there, as if someone had installed a HUD interface in his retina and he could not escape it at all.
Lin Xian kept taking deep breaths. As the countdown continued to decrease, he began to suppress his chaotic thoughts and calm down.
After recovering for a while, Lin Xian calmed down a lot. He looked at the nuclear-powered submarine below and said
"Sister Ning, you and Kiki and Abai will search this harbor and inspect the submarine. Xiao Qinghuo and Shizhi, you will search the upper base together. Be careful of the experimental subjects from before. Pay attention to the flood discharge channel and don't attract the attention of the monsters in it. I will dispatch all the drones to assist you. Before dawn, we will thoroughly explore this base and carefully inspect any useful information, supplies, weapons, including the geothermal device."
Abai and Shizhi were arranged separately because both of them have the ability to investigate. Lin Xian is now ready to try to connect his consciousness with Chu Yan and communicate with the Phoenix Society.
Ning Jing nodded: "I understand."
"Don't worry, Brother Lin." Hearing that they would act together with Xiaoqing, Brother Huo was eager to try.
"What about you?" asked KIKI.
"I'm right here." Lin Xian pointed to the submarine below: "We'll gather at the command center here later."
KIKI nodded: "Okay"
Everyone took action immediately. Lin Xian released all of his more than one thousand drones. Most of his drones were sent out with Viola to explore the way. Now the transit drone was contacting the Infinity number in the urban area of Haiyan Island. Once the information was connected, he could quickly recall Viola.
At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the countdown in his sight, calmed himself down, went to the submarine command center on the upper level, sat on the ground, and immersed his consciousness in the Black Star Forge.
"Chu Yan."
There was no response. In the giant planet, the sky train was slowly rotating, and countless mechanical arms of several construction sequences were busy manufacturing the arsenal ship. At the same time, the remains of the Xuanwu were quietly floating in the distance. Lin Xian looked at his mechanical space with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Chu Yan..."
No one responded, as if the connection between him and Chu Yan had disappeared.
This feeling made Lin Xian's expression change slightly.
"What's going on?"
34:15:22
The countdown is still changing. Judging from the time, there are still 34 hours left.
Lin Xian had a bad feeling in his heart, and he immediately connected his consciousness to Flash Bullet and called Grace.
"Grace."
Just as Lin Xian was calling Grace, he suddenly noticed the metal dice he had fixed. Lin Xian moved closer and looked over, and found that the dice had changed direction again.
4
The moment he saw the number, Lin Xian frowned slightly, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
Why does this number look so familiar?
Lin Xian remembered that he had seen the number on the dice change three times before.
They are 3, 4, and 1 respectively.
This time, it became 4.
3414?
"This number...did I see it somewhere before?"
Lin Xian turned around to look for it, but his image suddenly froze. He saw that the countdown numbers on his retina had changed at that moment.
34:15:00
34:14:59!
