Chapter 477: Advanced Evolution
After Lin Xian's consciousness link slowly disappeared in front of her, Chu Yan leaned back in the corner with a pale face. She kept adjusting her breathing and looked at her vital signs HUD, which showed that her heart rate and mental fluctuations were in a critical crisis state.
"I hope you're okay..."
Chu Yan whispered something to the air, then looked at her hands that were shaking uncontrollably and slowly clenched her fists.
As a psychic, she should be the best candidate to deal with the exploration of Scarlet, but under the combined effect of Chu Yan's superpowers and the dark energy isomorphic device, she still felt tremendous invasion pressure. This was still inside the house. If it was outdoors, she estimated that she would not be able to last more than 30 minutes.
She must find a way to go back as soon as possible. If the Spark Plan fails, she will need to cooperate with Lin to meet up in South America. The Star Abyss here is roaring and the world is burning. Perhaps there is not much time left for mankind.
Chu Yan thought of what Lin Xian had just said, her eyes flickering, but she did not contact Grace.
Nan Tianmen is Lin Xian's trump card. In her and Professor Ye's opinion, this trump card may be the reason why Lin Xian can survive under the nose of the foundation. Based on this reason, she will definitely not use it casually. What's more, this scarlet is full of unknown weirdness. It is still unknown whether Nan Tianmen's energy beam weapon can achieve the same lethality as Dawn City.
Huh~
“Zizizi…”
Chu Yan took a deep breath. At this moment, intermittent electrical noise suddenly sounded in her communication band. She looked at the interface and found that it was coming from the band of one of her teammates.
"Tornado, Black Bee, report the situation!"
“Zizizi…”
No one responded.
Crunch...
A sudden noise suddenly came, interrupting Chu Yan's thoughts.
The scarlet outside the window, carrying with it a veiled aura, caused the window frames to creak.
Chu Yan frowned coldly, and her entire power armor was covered with an energy field. A thin glimmer of light flowed on the curve of her power armor. She quietly stood up and ejected two silver-sharp blades from under her arms. The diffraction particles gradually heated up. These two swords were extremely powerful in close combat and could even cut through S-level flesh and blood directly.
Chu Yan walked slowly to the window, sprayed high-temperature rays from her fingertips to create a gap, and then looked out the window. The scarlet storm was visibly invading the sky and the earth. The world was not pitch black, but the scarlet seemed to carry a visible light, making everything in sight turn into the strange color of this scarlet negative film.
The earth was dyed with a layer of blood red. The blood-red soil emitted visible red water vapor into the air, which then instantly evaporated into a crimson blood mist and quickly merged into the air, making the water and sky merge into one color. It was no longer possible to tell where the sky was and where the earth was.
Crunch...
The voice came again, and this time Chu Yan was sure that it was outside the door!
She immediately turned around and looked at the sealed iron door of the apartment in the distance. The cold noise of electricity was still faintly hissing in the communication channel. Outside the door, the silence was suddenly broken.
It was not the roar of zombies, nor the movement of strange creatures, but a sticky, heavy, crawling sound like wet, thick leather slowly dragged across a rough surface. Step by step, the sound rolled over the cold concrete floor, as if it was just a few feet away, with unspeakable malice, unswervingly approaching the sealed, rusted iron door.
At this time, the sound outside suddenly disappeared after approaching the door. Instead, an extremely cold breath quickly spread into the house. Chu Yan could see that the temperature displayed on the power armor temperature detector was visibly dropping, and a layer of frost condensed on the defensive skin of the nano armor.
At the same time, the wall groaned, its rough skin peeling off and rotting in large chunks as if soaked by strong acid, revealing the even more rotten base underneath. And when the peeling wall skin fell halfway, it melted into a sticky dark red liquid with a "puff" sound, like a sponge soaked in dirty blood, and dripped onto the ground, emitting a suffocating stench.
The dark brown rust spots on the already rusty iron door spread rapidly as if it were alive, and it seemed to be corroded and aged rapidly. Along with this, the "horizon" of the entire room was collapsing at an accelerated rate. The scarlet fog rolled like ink, swallowing up the vision. The light was suppressed to the point that it could only outline a vague, distorted outline within half a meter around Chu Yan. The cold light lamp placed on the ground was now only a small point of light the size of a millet grain.
Then, the heavy iron door that was originally sealed by Chu Yan, completely covered with layers of scarlet rust and seemed to be integrated with the wall, opened silently inward without any external force.
There was no sound. Outside the door frame, it was pitch black. There was no corridor or wall to be seen. It seemed like a dark void so deep that even darkness had lost its meaning. It was an absolute nothingness that could swallow up all light and hope. Just looking at it made people feel the cold fear that their soul was about to be torn away from their flesh.
Chu Yan's muscles tensed instantly, her pupils shrank sharply, and the fatigue in her eyes was replaced by cold murderous intent. She slowly tightened her grip on the blade in her hand.
"Rose."
[I'm here.] The intelligent body of Chu Yan, who was unique to the power armor, responded.
"My spiritual power senses that some interdimensional guy is standing right in front of me."
[Is it similar to the situation in Star Abyss No. 3?]
"I don't know, it should be about the same. Get ready!"
[Okay, deploy the gravitational lens puller immediately!]
Woo!
Chu Yan opened one shoulder armor, and a black precision device like a small electromagnetic cannon rose up. Then the muzzle was aimed at the nothingness at the door, and a special launching metal was filled in.
She looked at the door of distorted light and shadow that existed only for a moment, where the void and the scarlet chaos in the house were intertwined. She saw the outline of the "door frame", which was now visibly twisted like the rotten ribs of some giant creature.
She knew there was a creature out there!
"Since you're here, why are you hiding? Let me show you a mirror."
Chu Yan held the sword across her chest, the power armor thrusters behind her roaring. At the same time, a piece of metal wrapped in a powerful gravitational force burst out from the muzzle on her shoulder, and in an instant it turned into an annihilation black hole that expanded exponentially, sweeping away the debris in space and slamming into the scarlet void!
…
Lin Xian pulled his consciousness back from the Black Star Forge and looked at the brightly lit, clean and tidy dormancy hall with a solemn expression.
Although he did not show much pressure in front of Chu Yan, the information he got from Chu Yan made Lin Xian have a hunch that the darkness would devour them and it would be a matter of life and death.
"Scarlet... It really does look like a cloud of nuclear radiation ejected from the Star Abyss. This is even more troublesome than polar night. You never know when you might find yourself trapped in a sea of scarlet."
Lin Xian took a deep breath, took out the rehearsal ball Hua Xiaoling had given him, and frowned secretly, saying, "The Advent Cult's actions have also begun to increase. It seems that perhaps the Dark Civilization is instructing them to carry out some kind of infiltration."
Although he could think of this, what Lin Xian couldn't figure out was what means the Foundation used to make those people defect from the human camp without any warning.
You have to know that it is not easy for a person to change his position, not to mention that the people Chu Yan mentioned are all elites among the survivors of mankind. These people have high strength, wisdom, and personal charm. Even if they are invaded by darkness and shattered by fear, they have stronger reason and mental strength than ordinary people. So Lin Xian is very curious. If he was forcibly kidnapped or tortured, he would not think so much. Instead, he is curious because these people seem to have taken the initiative to change their positions and left peacefully.
Drop~
Pressing the civilization preview ball again, a light curtain was projected in front of Lin Xian.
[Civilization simulation No. 16751 is being rehearsed. Do you want to start the rehearsal?]
"16,751? Isn't that too much?"
Lin Xian frowned immediately. Although the development of a civilization was full of randomness, he had never expected that the creation of a civilization would involve so many failed rehearsals...
Just as he was about to conduct another civilization rehearsal, he felt a dull and blocked feeling in his head, accompanied by a cold shock, which made Lin Xian shiver. This feeling was very familiar. He had just felt this feeling in Chu Yan's consciousness.
Perhaps he was affected, Lin Xian pinched his brows. The non-stop work and the constant operation of the six manufacturing sequences made him a little exhausted. He simply put away the civilization rehearsal ball and prepared to take a rest and continue in the evening when he was in better condition. Perhaps he would make some different discoveries.
So Lin Xian stood up and checked on Monica.
But at this time, the situation in Monica's hibernation chamber made his face change slightly, because through the transparent glass of the hibernation chamber, he found that Monica lying inside seemed to have undergone many subtle changes in just a few hours.
The white lining on her body seemed to be dissolved by some dark energy emanating from the crystal incubator on her chest, and it turned into large pieces of ash and flew down radially, leaving Monica almost naked. Not only that, Lin Xian noticed some changes in Monica's body.
It was difficult for him to describe the specific changes. After a few seconds, he realized that Monica's body seemed to be becoming... perfect!
Perfect, Lin Xian couldn't find any other adjectives.
Monica's skin seemed to be more delicate than before, and the surface of her skin even emitted a faint fluorescence, which was definitely not a phenomenon that would occur in human flesh. What surprised Lin Xian the most was that the scar under Monica's left shoulder, which was left by the acid of the strange body in Dawn City, had completely disappeared. This was very wrong.
Although Monica is a high-level psychic, her evolved physique allows her scars and cells to repair dozens of times faster than ordinary humans before the Apocalypse, but the residual dark energy corrosive energy on the scar will not heal that quickly. For this reason, Monica specifically consulted the Phoenix Order's Night Walker rescuers, and the answer she got was that it would take at least one to two months.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly!
Unless, her superpower evolution is soaring at an unimaginable speed at this moment, the cells in her body are iterating and upgrading madly, and the genetic instructions are making her continue to climb towards the direction of a perfect human torso!
"It seems that it can really double your Dangling value."
Lin Xian looked at Monica, whose body was becoming more and more perfect, and felt the visual impact brought by her healthy body. Lin Xian did not have any evil thoughts, but instead had an inexplicable heavy feeling in his heart.
Why is it heavy?
Because he was worried that those so-called "defections" might be just humans being obsessed with this perfect evolution. As Julius and Chen Yanxiu said, a more perfect world civilization would be enough to shatter the worldview and values of the current remaining humans.
This is the most terrifying thing...
Thinking of this, Lin Xian felt a little heavy in his heart. He looked at the beautiful face of Monica who was sleeping, sighed and said quietly
"I haven't seen the expected side effects yet, but I've become more beautiful. I think you'll like this change, Queen Mo."
Lin Xian looked at the time, and after making sure that Monica's vital signs were stable, he did not interfere or disturb her. Instead, he prepared to go back and rest. He had not returned to his room since he came back from outside, and his mind was full of various things. Hua Xiaoling's visit had just ended, and the world fell into the scarlet crisis again. It seemed that Infinity's rare rest period had to end early. Lin Xian made up his mind to set off for the South American continent tomorrow morning.
Today he had to spend time assembling the military train to tow the Sky Train. He also had to complete several heavy weapons, including repairing and strengthening the electrostatic force field, and many other preparations...
Then, he had to check on the affairs of his Mechanical Heart R&D Center and study the black gear.
There are so many troublesome things waiting for him to deal with. If he doesn't have a good rest, his brain will be like paste and he won't be able to work at all.
Just as Lin Xian was about to walk out of the hibernation hall, the sound of the hibernation hatch opening suddenly came from behind him.
Chi!
Lin Xian stopped and turned around, only to see the lid of Monica's hibernation capsule slowly opening, with white cold air gushing out. He immediately realized something was wrong and turned around to check.
But at this moment, a graceful body slowly stood up from the hibernation capsule, two white and plump long legs stepped on the ground, and then stood up.
"Monica?"
Lin Xian frowned and looked at the figure in the white cold air.
"You seem to have a lot of worries?"
Monica's high-pitched and sexy voice sounded, and the chill dissipated. Monica stood there with her arms folded over her chest, looking at Lin Xian with her eyes sparkling with light. At this moment, those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void. The fragments of her inner lining quickly slid down from her straight back and round and plump buttocks to the ground, but she did not hide or feel shy at all, and faced Lin Xian with a calm attitude.
"I'm sorry, I heard your mumblings, more clearly than ever before."
Lin Xian looked at Monica in front of him. Monica had a really good figure. She was tall, plump, healthy and well-proportioned, with a very big chest. She looked very visually impactful, which made Lin Xian a little stunned for a moment.
After being stunned for two seconds, he broke the awkwardness with a dry cough, looked at the time and spoke seriously.
"It's been less than 10 hours, why are you awake?"
Monica frowned slightly when she heard Lin Xian's words: "Really? But I... feel great now."
"Can you feel the existence of the lattice?" Lin Xian asked.
Monica lowered her head, and in an instant, a dark purple fluorescent light slowly lit up on her chest. As the light continued to intensify, Lin Xian could feel a straight-line surge of spiritual value fluctuations being released from Monica's body. At the same time, her chest skin and even her sternum were shadowed, as if there was a body with extremely high energy burning in Monica's chest!
Lin Xian raised his hand and turned it, and the power increased. He looked at the soul value detector and the number on it was soaring.
9,000, 10,000, 12,000, 15,000,
17000!!!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Monica opened her arms at this time, her hair moved without wind, and the energy in her body surged up. Almost tangible sound waves circulated through her body like channels.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "It actually worked. It only took 10 hours."
Monica's eyes swept over Lin Xian, and then she put away the energy she released. After the fluctuation of the soul value disappeared, she turned and walked to the makeup mirror next to the hibernation cabin. Looking at her perfect body inside, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly and said
“It wasn’t a wonderful process, but I like the result.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xian and said, "Director Ding's guess seems to be correct. I saw the perspective of a strange entity. It's hard to describe, and its range is incomparable. That thing is currently floating in the clouds ten thousand meters high, and it can capture sound waves from two different dimensions."
"Did you hear that too?"
"Surprised?"
Lin Xian was silent: "Honestly speaking, this is not good news."
If it is confirmed that the psychics and the strange bodies are of the same origin, then Lin Xian finds it hard to imagine what kind of pressure human psychics will face if they know the truth, and he also doesn't know what their fate will be.
Monica seemed to have caught Lin Xian's worried mood, and walked quietly in front of Lin Xian with smooth steps. It was not until he got close that Lin Xian saw Monica coming. He immediately looked at her and said,
"Aren't you afraid? Your own abilities, or...your life, have formed some kind of connection with the strange entity."
Monica smiled softly, as if she didn't care at all. Instead, she looked at Lin Xian with her arms folded across her chest and spoke leisurely.
"Actually, if you look at the bright side, there is still good news."
Lin Xian was puzzled: "For example?"
Monica took another step forward, her voluptuous body almost touching Lin Xian, and then she said in a charming way
"If theoretically, I, who evolved the lattice, became a kind of weird body, then... have you ever tried to fight a weird body?"
Lin Xian tilted his head back, narrowed his eyes and looked at Monica who had a subtle smile on her face, and said immediately.
"No way! It's the end of the world now!"
