Thus, a feast for only three people began in the storage room.
The three of them were like three filters, freely absorbing the mycelium components they wanted from the nutrient paste.
The hyphae that had been separated into fragments during processing were constantly reconstructed in their bodies, and eventually combined into long enough veins to enter the host's brain.
The voice that they had only heard in a trance began to echo violently in their minds.
The meaning contained in the unknown language was also deconstructed bit by bit.
From above the void, a great will was giving them orders:
"Assimilate more individuals and join in eternal symbiosis!"
Three men with bloodshot eyes stood up from the nutrient paste all over the ground.
At this point they have completely lost the ability to think.
They become part of the community, like worker bees and ants in a swarm of insects, and only need to do what they are supposed to do.
At the same time, other rooms in the building were in varying degrees of chaos.
The mumbling of that great consciousness outside is like a broadcast to the world.
Whenever an individual capable of receiving the signal appears, the signal within a certain range will be amplified once.
In the past, because of the special ability of the "Holy Shield", as long as the alien beasts were cleared in time, they would not have the chance to contaminate humans.
But now it's different.
The ability of the "Holy Shield" has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to maintain it uninterruptedly for 24 hours a day.
After sensing this information, the great will of the symbiotic community quickly formulated a simple plan.
Although as a will, His thinking ability may not be comparable to that of a normally developed human brain.
But those assimilated plants, those hyphae spreading across the earth, and every eye of those strange beasts were telling it what this world looked like.
From the moment of His birth, many things were destined.
He was born to take this planet into His own package. This is His desire and His instinct.
As a result, waves of low-level beasts have occurred frequently in the past month.
Every time a strange beast dies in that invisible and hateful protective shield, the power of the protective shield will be weakened a little.
Finally, four days ago, the invisible force could no longer be maintained and could only cover some areas on a small scale.
He quickly launched a beast attack. Although the third-level alien beast that represented his eyes was captured alive by humans on the spot, a large amount of information was also transmitted by it through invisible perception.
So, nearly forty years after its birth, the Supreme Will finally saw the bird's-eye view of this fortified city for the first time, finally saw the guy who had been using a protective shield to prevent himself from expanding, and finally saw those humans wearing white coats who dismembered individuals of the tribe for research.
And now, He is about to launch a fierce attack, which will be a great attack from both inside and outside.
"Report, traces of a beast tide have been found ten kilometers to the southeast."
"Report, traces of a beast tide have been found eight kilometers to the south."
"Report, abnormal changes have occurred on the eastern sea surface."
“…”
One important piece of information after another was transmitted into the inner city at a high speed, and red lights representing alarms began to flash.
An entire wave of level three beasts was pouring towards Hope City from all directions, even including the sea that had been peaceful for more than a decade.
In the command room where alarm bells were ringing, a group of middle-aged men who usually looked calm and composed had wrinkles on their foreheads that could kill a swarm of mosquitoes.
They were pulled out of bed early this morning on the pretext that a mass riot of unknown cause might occur in the outer city.
The riots among humans would of course affect other humans, so the super-powered people were naturally sent to guard the city walls of the inner city.
but……
The complete beast tide would unexpectedly attack at this time, which made everyone secretly sweat.
If the outer city area is breached, humans will lose at least 60% of their population.
By then, it would be a question whether Hope City, this half-broken machine, could continue to operate.
The remaining people might die in the long famine and riots, or a small number of survivors might be able to live underground.
But that was only delaying the arrival of destruction.
"I propose to use weapon 005!"
A voice suddenly said.
Some of the others were lost in thought, while others were flipping through paper documents or the communicator databases in front of them.
But in the end, they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
[Weapon 005: Electromagnetic Cannon Group]
The leading man looked at the other person beside him and asked:
"It's a good idea, but what's the cost?"
The man thought for a moment and said:
"Power cuts, large-scale power cuts."
"How wide? How long?"
“All civil buildings except the three major institutions have power cuts.
"The inner city will have eight hours of electricity per day, and the outer city will have six hours per day for a month."
The man sighed and said:
"Nothing to say, just go get ready.
"Also, all remaining superpower teams without missions will be sent to the outer city walls."
Orders were issued one after another, and Hope City once again entered a state of combat readiness.
But unlike many times before, this time, the situation seems particularly serious.

"Boss, I'm hungry, can I have something to eat?"
A voice suddenly interrupted Li Rui who was reading a book. He always felt that his men were very strange today.
Just like little kids, the word "trouble" is written all over their bodies.
He waved his hand and said casually:
"Go ahead, get me one too. I want that one, the one with a less sweet taste."
Upon hearing this, the man turned around and trotted off towards the warehouse.
Li Rui felt that this guy must be extremely hungry. If it were any other time, he would at least agree respectfully.
Listening to the sound of his men stepping deeply and shallowly, Li Rui's discomfort reached its peak.
This is so weird!
Whether it was what happened in the morning or the hungry guy just now, there was an indescribable feeling.
Li Rui had not read many books, so it was difficult for him to describe this strange feeling.
But he also knew that the real boss of Ashes was already running around for this matter, and all he had to do was to protect the base.
At the other end of the yard, Ai'er walked in with Zhuang Mian and Ji Yong, moving as cautiously as usual.
But this time, after entering the yard, everyone's eyes were cast towards him.
In the past, those people would just glance at this clever boy, but today, those sinister looks were like poisonous tongues and took a long time to disappear.
Zhuang Mian and Ji Yongxing, one having received professional training and the other having excellent observation skills, soon discovered the problem.
The pace of the three people slowly dropped.
