After turning around, they didn't find any rechargeable batteries, but they did find another unconscious teammate, who was the other Undead Sequence nurse in the trio.
Jeremy walked over, helped the man up, then checked the indicator light on his combat suit and found that although his condition was not good, fortunately his life was not in danger.
Lifting the slightly lighter figure onto his shoulders, Jeremy took a few steps forward and saw the huge, twisted 'arm' around the corner. Before he could even get close, a dizzying shock hit him head-on.
[Warning, Chaos erosion is deepening, please leave the current environment immediately]
"Damn it, it looks like I can't take this escape route designated by the central AI."
"Pull up the map for me and find other escape routes."
[System received, started searching, started connecting to central AI…]
[The central AI did not respond and could not determine the true situation of the route. Please let the host decide the specific choice.] Then a three-dimensional virtual map appeared in front of Jeremy, with four routes marked on it.
"Choose the route in the h3 area below." Just as Jeremy was thinking about how to choose, a slightly clearer voice came to his ears. It turned out that the unconscious nurse woke up.
"Why?" he asked subconsciously.
"I don't know how to explain it, because it's just some strange intuition, but I believe it because it has saved my life several times." The nurse struggled down from Jeremy's shoulders. A faint light flashed inside her helmet, then went out, as if she was performing some kind of self-test.
"Okay, let's take this road." Jeremy is not a particularly curious person, and the situation is indeed critical now.
"I'll lead the way, you follow quickly, what's the current situation?"
"Give me a minute, I need to treat myself." The nurse's voice was still clear, like cold mountain spring water, revealing a hint of indifference and calmness in her agility.
"No problem, I'll go look for the energy cell." As Jeremy spoke, he rushed to the side room and began searching.
Time passed quickly, and a minute later, Jeremy came out of the room holding several things, including emergency food cubes, drinking cleaning liquid, and a small pistol.
"Although I can't kill the Chaos Phantom, if it's a physical flesh and blood monster, I can still restrict its movements." Jeremy handed the pistol to the other party, then pulled off his mask, quickly replenished his water, and then took a big bite of the emergency food ointment.
So, 20 seconds later, the two of them started to act.
The warning lights on the wall continued to flash, repeating the emergency evacuation notice conveyed by the central AI.
[All personnel inside Barrier No. 3, please leave immediately. The self-destruct system is about to be activated!]
[All personnel inside Barrier No. 3, please leave immediately. The self-destruct system is about to be activated!]
[All personnel inside Barrier No. 3, please leave immediately. The self-destruct system is about to be activated!]
Ignoring the information they were already tired of hearing, the two of them silently and quickly shuttled through the environment, which was either bright or dark. Occasionally, they could see the bodies of some dead internal personnel, as well as some chaotic phantoms wandering in the air.
But there was no time to deal with these guys. As long as they did not directly block the way, they would quickly pass by and approach the target. The process was just as the nurse said, it was extremely smooth and no major emergencies were encountered.
Finally, they arrived at the cabin where the lifeboat was parked. There were still two staff members who had not left. They were very surprised to see the two people who suddenly walked in.
"You guys are really lucky. If it was two minutes later, we would have left too."
"Come on up, this is the last lifeboat, with a capacity of six people. There's already a wounded person inside, so if we add you two, we can set off."
After saying that, he quickly opened the flap on the side of the lifeboat and lay down in it.
"Thanks." Jeremy said nothing more. He pulled the breathless nurse beside him into the lifeboat, and then sat in a seat on the side.
Soon, with a roar and shaking, the lifeboat entered the predetermined track according to the procedure and began to accelerate. Huge friction sounds, air flow sounds, and the sound of debris hitting each other continued to come from outside the cabin, and occasionally the inside would shake as a result.
Some of the five people inside looked anxious and pale, some prayed silently, and some concentrated on recovery, ignoring the sounds from the outside world. In this tense and uneasy atmosphere, the lifeboat finally sailed out of the barrier and rushed into the vast and empty universe.
[We have left the danger zone. The surrounding environment is now stable. The external situation will be broadcasted. Please set your route.]
In the originally closed, dark, and narrow environment, a screen appeared and began to show the situation outside. Now they were about ten kilometers away from the barrier and could see countless warships and fighter planes in outer space firing at the crawling "monster".
After setting up a route away from the barrier and approaching the rear, the people inside felt a little relieved and had the leisure to observe the battle situation outside.
"What kind of monster is this?" Jeremy was surprised when he saw the huge body on the screen that seemed to have no end in sight.
"I don't know. We're in the Communications Department inside the fortress, but we still haven't received a definitive name or explanation. We do have a few guesses, which came from the research institute at the rear headquarters."
"Well, what did they say?" Jeremy continued.
"This could be a deceased Sequence 10 Apostle, completely corrupted by the Chaos Phantom, and transformed into an ominous monster." The staff member sighed through the headset.
"It should have died in the massive tidal impact of Aegeka, but the power bestowed by the Sun Crown gave it a certain eternity, the power to constantly resurrect and live."
"Without the guidance of consciousness and soul, this shattered power was gradually eroded and distorted by the chaotic phantoms, forming this unspeakable monster before us. This is why, even after drifting in space for tens of thousands of years, it has not lost its vitality."
"It's tragic, isn't it? Eternal torture and pain, my consciousness has long been shredded into tiny pieces, yet I can't die. I can only rely on some kind of instinct to keep chasing the shadow of the 'sun'."
"This is the past we have to face, the failure of human civilization."
