Chapter 62: Invading the Only Moon in Everyone's Heart
The Everday Base is called a base, but in fact it is a huge steel fortress standing in the safe zone.
It stretches for hundreds of meters underground. The ground is composed of the strongest protective layer. The outermost layer is a protective net formed by the spells cast by the psychics. The middle is an iron wall embedded with various weapons. The innermost layer is a special patrol team.
The structure of the Eternal Day Base is very scientific and ingenious, and is the result of experience gained from repeated attacks by pollutants.
Therefore, among the eight major bases in the world, the Eternal Day Base is the largest and safest area.
As pollutants become increasingly rampant and human habitable areas are gradually retreating, it is increasingly becoming the choice of many civilians and people with special abilities.
That's why the neighboring base is so wary and even sends out insiders to try to cooperate internally and externally and annex the Eternal Day Base.
But today, the once indestructible steel fortress began to tremble.
Even people living in the Eternal Day Base can imagine that there are swarms and seas of pollutants outside without leaving the base gate.
"Why are these pollutants acting like crazy? The influx just passed a few months ago, so it should be the off-season now."
"Don't you know? I heard something happened at the research institute. The insider who infiltrated the neighboring base was the one who brought all these pollutants to our base!"
"Fuck, what the hell? If I didn't have to guard the gate, I really want to go back and stab that traitor a few times."
The Everday Base has dealt with many waves of pollutant invasions and naturally knows how to establish a defense line and how to evacuate the people.
The captain of the superpower team is directing his team members to guard all the checkpoints on all sides of the base.
The captain's forehead was covered in sweat. "What level of pollutants are they leading this time? Lao Zhang, hurry up, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"My elite team suffered heavy losses during the last wave of attacks while battling the S-class pollutant Black Snake. Fortunately, we killed it; otherwise, if it had continued to evolve, its toxins would have nearly corroded the base's defenses."
The man called Lao Zhang is a little old man who is facing a group of data on the screen, constantly calculating and monitoring.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss! The news is very unfortunate. The fluctuations in pollutants this time are completely new. It seems a new super pollutant has emerged."
Data is constantly being broadcast on the screen.
This influx of pollutants brought a lot of pollutants, forming various small pollution sources.
But only in the center of this black tide, there is a growing pollution source, the color is extremely black, so thick that it is like a black hole from which even light cannot escape.
[Level A Alert! The intrusion tide is 10 kilometers from the base. Unknown pollution source fluctuations have been detected and are under analysis.]
[Pollution values: 2000, 5000, 10000, 150000——]
[Beep—Identified as pollutant No. 01, Class S, contamination method unknown, highest level of danger, please prepare for defense at the base.]
The captain, sweating profusely as he gave orders, heard the report on Lao Zhang's screen. He turned around in disbelief and shouted, "Who are you calling it? Pollutant 01? Does this thing really exist?"
However, Lao Zhang, who was in charge of the inspection, had no intention of responding to the captain's yelling. His hands were trembling as he pointed at the screen. The dark black light ball was rapidly approaching the base.
A shrill alarm sounded from the smoke.
[Warning, warning! Unknown pollutants are approaching, 5km, 3km away, please be prepared for attack.]
The captain was extremely worried. "Is there any way to stop it? Damn, the pollutants nearby are surging. We can't defeat them at all!"
You should know that if the pollution value exceeds 10,000, it will be classified as S-level pollutant, which is rare in the world.
The last time they were at their base, they had fought hard to defeat the black snake, but its pollution value had just exceeded 10,000. Now, the legendary pollutant No. 01 that was approaching was so severe that the detector could not even detect its pollution value.
Old Zhang pushed his reading glasses and said in a responsive tone:
"Contaminant 01 was observed by the Doctor and the adult who was still awake. Over the years, Contaminant 01 has never been active, and many people even generally believe that this contaminant only exists in legends."
The captain was holding up the protective line, and the grid seemed to be breaking. The team members nearby could not hold on any longer, so they were carried away by the medical officer to rest first.
"I want you to explain this to me? I'm the one who saw Lord Moon back then! Also, where's the doctor? Hasn't he come back yet? You're also from the institute, and you don't even know his whereabouts. If he doesn't come back, just wait and see the ruins!"
"Damn, this contaminant is parked right at the base gate, there's no way to deal with it!"
The captain and Lao Zhang are currently at the front-line command center, located at the very top of the Eternal Day Base.
In front of the command center is a whole visual wall, which allows you to clearly see the situation outside, including at this moment.
The area directly in front of the base was shrouded in a pitch-black mass. A huge sense of oppression hung over everyone in the command center. The captain, who wanted to swear, was unable to utter a word and was sweating profusely.
But soon, the captain's shoulders were gently patted by a pair of white hands.
Someone actually managed to sneak into the front-line command center quietly. The captain was about to turn around and scold him, but he didn't expect to see that iconic long silver hair and the face he thought he would never see again.
"Yue, ahem, sir, you're awake!"
The captain almost blurted out the words "Lord Moon" again.
In the team of superpowers, although the captain is now the leader, he knows that there is actually an adult above him whose strength is truly unfathomable.
That adult often falls into a deep sleep and rarely wakes up, but he is the true guardian of the Eternal Day Base - Song Mingjiao.
Maybe it's for the sense of ritual, or maybe it's just because of middle school mentality, but every superpowered person in the superpower team has given themselves a code name.
However, Song Mingjiao never participated in these activities and never had an official code name.
However, calling Song Mingjiao by his first name felt disrespectful. Furthermore, Song Mingjiao's strength had always been sought after by the base's psychics. He had a cool, aloof demeanor and a sense of distance. He often went out on moonlit nights to clean up pollutants or rescue people. Coupled with his smooth, silver-white hair, people privately passed on the four characters "Lord Moon."
However, no one dared to call him that in front of Song Mingjiao, and they often addressed him respectfully as "Sir". Song Mingjiao lived for so many years, and until his death in his previous life, he didn't know that he was the only "moon" in everyone's heart in the Eternal Day Base and even in many survivor bases.
The base has had many people in power, and many generations of leaders have rotated.
But there is only one "adult".
Song Mingjiao's long hair fluttered around him. He was used to the respect shown to him by everyone in the base. This kind of excitement was not the first time he had seen it.
"Open the protective cover. Leave this No. 01 contaminant outside to me."
When the captain was very young, he once saw Song Mingjiao cleaning up the contaminated area and expanding the safety range of the base step by step. He was also lucky enough to be rescued by Song Mingjiao who was returning in the wilderness during that cleanup.
The long silver hair, like the moon hanging high in the sky, whispered to him, "Can you still walk?" and always became the captain's dream.
He climbed step by step to the position of leader of the superpower team just to be closer to Song Mingjiao. Now he happened to encounter the moment when Song Mingjiao woke up and witnessed Song Mingjiao's figure protecting the base again. It was enough for his life.
The captain's eyes were extremely excited: "Okay, sir, please be careful."
As Song Mingjiao stepped out of the base's defense line, energy was gathering in his hands, and a fiery red bow emerged out of thin air, burning with an eternal flame.
This is what Song Mingjiao obtained from the wings of the Eternal Bird when he was fusing A-level pollutants. He gained a trace of this ability, which is a completely different ability from the spike that killed the original male protagonist last time.
After integrating the skills of the Eternal Bird, Song Mingjiao added his own mental power to the top of the arrow. This arrow was enough to burn a black cloud of pollutants into ashes.
Song Mingjiao led the black cloud in his direction, away from the ground near the base, all the way to the top of the tower. His long hair fluttered in the wind, his expression was calm, and he drew his bow and arrow.
His archery was very accurate. The fiery red flaming arrows were surrounded by the howling of souls. The arrows were thicker than an ordinary person's body and cut through the sky. Half of the sky was burned orange by the flames. The arrows broke through the black clouds, and even the surging pollutants outside the base stopped attacking for a moment.
After the flames subsided, the pollution source that remained at the original location disappeared, but Song Mingjiao's expression did not relax. He knew that the pollutant No. 01 had not left, and the familiar and dangerous aura was rushing towards him instead.
——Right behind you!
The black mist licked the flames and wrapped around Song Mingjiao's whole body without hurting him at all. As it passed through Song Mingjiao's body, it actually condensed into a human shape behind him!
"Pollutant Manual Article 1": The biggest boundary between humans and pollutants is that no matter how similar they disguise themselves, they can never form a true human form.
Song Mingjiao turned around with a serious face, and his long hair drew a graceful arc under the moonlight as he moved.
It was a face that Song Mingjiao was extremely familiar with, but it shouldn't appear here, and it shouldn't appear on pollutant No. 01.
Because in the previous life, in the world after the dark catastrophe, they fought against the pollutants for more than 100 years, but due to the release of pollutant No. 01, which was immortal, the human field was defeated, and the eight major bases were gradually destroyed. In the end, only the Eternal Day Base was left, but it could only hide underground, and the ground had long been a carnival of pollutants, with no trace of any living creatures.
The pollutants have no intelligence, but seem to be controlled by the most central pollutant No. 01. Pollutant No. 01 is bloodthirsty and murderous, and has a great interest in destroying human habitats. All detection methods are ineffective.
In the end, after integrating the abilities of countless pollutants, Song Mingjiao was able to survive in pollutants, but humans could not. After discussing with Dr. Yu, they launched the Spark Project.
Song Mingjiao goes to challenge pollutant No. 01 and dies together with the pollutant in the form of self-destruction. Through his various superpowers and the shock wave of mutual destruction, he tears open the void and seeks the possibility of reversing time.
This was the first sign of dying that was captured by the system.
And now.
Song Mingjiao looked at the man in front of her who was familiar yet unfamiliar.
The man said:
"Baby, I'm back. My name now is—He Qi."
