Chapter 211 Doomsday Station
Those invisible things rushed towards him as if they had smelled delicious food.
Feeling something was wrong, he touched his face and then his neck. His skin could feel waves of pain and itchiness, but there was nothing there.
He withdrew his hand in disappointment and talked seriously with his men.
Suddenly, his vision became blurry and the whole world seemed to have double images. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and the double images disappeared. The world became bright again.
At the same time, those doubts that he thought required caution suddenly became reasonable for some reason.
Yes, that’s a necromancer, the second necromancer in human history besides Wei Huan.
It is a really good idea to train her to deal with Wei Huan and fight poison with poison.
The resident commander stood up from behind the desk and chair, staggering as if he was drunk, and walked out of the office and into the base.
Looking at this underground city again, I don’t know when it started, but it was filled with a large number of small red bugs, trying their best to drill into everyone’s body.
…
“Uncle Mu, this time we were fighting against the Platinum-level survivors, and I discovered something unusual that I hadn’t noticed before.
The bodies of the survivors are covered with red roots that are thinner than hair. They seem to be very interested in the human body and will actively approach humans.
I wonder, are these really the only methods the surviving people of this world have? Or are there other methods we don’t know about?”
Mu Dehao also took this very seriously. "I'll have someone check out those tiny red roots. You must be careful fighting on the front lines. Regardless of whether the survivors have other methods, remember that you've already successfully killed a large number of high-level survivors. This proves that your current fighting style is correct. Maintain it."
Wei Huan nodded, and then chatted with Mu Dehao for a few more words. After the call ended, he found that Xu Qingqiang and others had already returned.
However, Xu Qingqiang did not return to the cab. He returned to his room to sort out the harvest.
Putting a platinum-level monster into prison will greatly improve it. Not only will it increase its mental resistance to the survivors, but it should also improve its control after transformation.
That’s what Wei Huan thought.
But soon Xu Qingqiang came out of the elevator that led directly to the driver's cab and said to Wei Huan with a serious expression, "Boss, come here for a moment."
Wei Huan stood up and followed him back to the upper floor of their residence.
There are three executive rooms in total. Currently, only Xu Qingqiang, Liu Chengzhi and Dou Lin are living there. Dou Lin and Liu Chengzhi live in one room for easy care. The other room is temporarily unoccupied and is used as the location for this conversation.
Xu Qingqiang's first words were: "I have upgraded again, three consecutive gold levels and one platinum level, and I have reached the three-star warden level.
One reason is that the warden's level is high enough, and the other is that I devoured a large number of high-level survivors and found that this group not only has mental attack capabilities, but also parasitic capabilities.
You might have noticed those tiny red bugs, the size of hair, that are parasites.
Without anchor points, they appear transparent and completely invisible.”
Wei Huan, who had just discussed this matter with Mu Dehao not long ago, was cheered up.
"So if they can't be seen, they can sneak into the body and take control?"
Xu Qingqiang nodded. "They are very fragile and easy to defend against, but the prerequisite is that you can see them, or know of their existence and be on guard against them. The red roots are like signal receivers. When you are far away from the main body, you need these red roots to assist. The more you are invaded, the deeper you will be trapped in the illusion, and it will be difficult to extricate yourself."
"Is it enough to just isolate these red roots and prevent them from invading?" Wei Huan asked.
Xu Qingqiang said, "Isolation is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. We attacked the illusion and bombarded it relentlessly without being affected until we were completely out of the battle. I'm afraid that's why we're still fine."
"If you hesitate even a little, you might be controlled."
"Right." After saying this, Xu Qingqiang wanted to say something, but then he shut up again. He lit a cigarette and said, "How did you decide in the beginning to destroy the flower without hesitation? Could it be that it should turn into a merman?"
Not serious again.
Of course, Wei Huan would not say that he was simply frightened by the fate of humans in his previous life. Although he did not understand the principle, he took action when he saw it, not giving the other party the opportunity to continue to deceive him.
Now that I think about it, so many strong and smart people in the previous life fell into the hands of these remnants. Perhaps it was because they were not only trapped in the illusion, but also parasitized by those red roots, which made them unable to wake up completely?
I don’t know what will happen after being parasitized by red roots. What is the bottom line?
Wei Huan was a little curious, but he would never try it with people around him. Instead, after getting new information, he contacted Mu Dehao again.
When Mu Dehao heard about the ability of "parasitism", his eyebrows raised in fear, and then he said: "It is a plant monster, and the red root is compared to its seed, which is logical.
I'll contact the other pioneering forces right away."
"Uncle Mu." Wei Huan called him hesitantly.
Mu Dehao stopped trying to close the video and looked at him.
Wei Huan said, "I don't know if this is the right thing to think, but I'm worried that parasitism could have a bigger impact. Do you think we need to make this public globally?"
Mu Dehao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He looked at Wei Huan deeply and said, "Uncle knows that you have always been the one who gave the supplies to the country as soon as you got them. Deep under your cold and hard appearance, you have the warmest heart.
What humanity needs most is someone like you, a strong person with a kind heart, calm and rational. I am very happy that person is you.
Well, this is the intelligence you have gathered, you can do whatever you want with it, I support you."
Wei Huan said without hesitation, "Just announce it directly, and quickly develop a criminal sequence that can serve as an anchor."
Then, he looked directly at Mu Dehao and said, "The competition with the Dark Beast is a war that requires the participation of all of us humans. The human race should unite. Only when we are all strong can we strike the hardest blow against the Dark Beast."
"Yes, that's right!" Mu Dehao nodded with a smile, then said, "I will announce the illusion and parasitic abilities of the survivors as soon as possible.
However, the cultivation of criminals is the prerequisite for us to control the right to speak, and this cannot be compromised."
Wei Huan also laughed.
Yes, as long as the general direction is correct, the benefits that deserve should be collected without hesitation.
Who made Brother Qiang so powerful that he really took down the criminals' training ground? By mistake, it turned out to be a "BUG" in this world.
It’s not surprising that plug-ins are expensive, right?
Of course, you don't have to buy plug-ins, but even if you can get the golden treasure chest or use thunder means, you may not have a chance to get your hands on higher-level monsters. Wei Huan could only kill the diamond survivors when he had two "anchor points". This is a tough battle and there is no chance of taking shortcuts.
Another thing is that this is a monopoly business, and there is no other choice without them.
After talking with Mu Dehao again, Wei Huan no longer cared about this matter.
Commander Mu is a business genius. It is more reassuring to leave this matter in his hands than to let Wei Huan handle it himself.
Wei Huan had a whole carload of people to take care of, as well as the allied forces. Of course, with so many talented people on his car and Mu Zhong helping him, it wasn't really his turn to be busy.
No, is there still a fight?
After killing all the platinum treasure chests, Wei Huan ordered the convoy to set off and drive deep into the no-man's land again.
This time, he had two goals. One was to find a suitable island for the Qinglong Army to build a city, and the other was to collect all the materials so that he could have a level 6 tank by the time he returned.
The sixth-level tanks and heavy fortresses for land, sea and air can actually fly off the ground, with a maximum altitude of five thousand meters. This distance exceeds the attack methods of all the dark beasts at present. By then, he can kill a dark beast lord by just throwing a stone, right?
The Confederates maintained their formation and continued to plow the fields.
He searched all the treasure chests within a thousand miles.
If the silver treasure chest is far away, he would be too lazy to open it. Only the gold treasure chest is worth his effort.
Three days passed like this, and Mu Dehao, who had edited the content of the announcement, released the information of the surviving families in the name of the Qinglong Army.
However, the results did not reach the level that was initially expected and shocked the world.
Because most of the information here is no longer secret.
Wei Huan's battle was not hidden from anyone, and intelligence was flying everywhere. Everyone knew that the survivors were good at mental attacks, and the physical combat power of high-level survivors was also very strong.
As for parasitism, no one takes it seriously. As long as you firmly believe that the thing in front of you is a monster, once the treasure chest is opened, you can bombard it relentlessly and the battle will be won.
Isn’t this how Wei Huan was killed?
As for Daxia's proposal to train criminal sequences for each legion as an anchor, the response was also mediocre.
It would certainly be better to kill the survivors with an anchor point, but Daxia’s price is too high. The cost of training a "Demon Apostle" is equivalent to training three farmers to become Martial Kings.
For a country like Osham, which has its own [Heart of Darkness], the cost is to train seven or eight "Disaster Witches".
Of course, with the power of the country, it can afford the cost of training one or two criminals, but just to use them as anchors, one or two should be enough.
In the end, the order for the criminal sequence that Mu Dehao received was only for 22 people. A big country like Osham only placed two orders.
Instead, it was the Big Bear Country, which placed the order at the beginning, that ordered 10 at once.
On this day, the commander of the Big Bear Country, who somehow got the news, contacted Mu Dehao again.
He started by saying, "We are strategic allies, but what Daxia is doing is not how we treat our allies."
Mu Dehao was also a little overwhelmed, but in negotiations, whoever feels guilty will lose.
Facing the other party's accusations, Mu Dehao said confidently, "Then I can only congratulate you. Your trust in us is the right decision for you. You won't regret this transaction, believe me."
The commander of the Big Bear Country was of course very unhappy, but facing Mu Dehao's solemn promise, he could only keep his mouth shut in doubt.
But in the end, he said, "I believe in your character and the integrity of Daxia. I hope our friendship will last forever."
Mu Dehao knew he had passed this test, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Of course."
Then he changed the subject and said, "Wei Huan is waiting for your people up ahead. Tell them to hurry up."
Those who caught up would naturally be qualified as wardens. Putting aside the necessity of anchor points in the face of covert attacks from the survivors, no one could wait to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the criminal sequence.
Endless Prison can increase the attribute bonus after swallowing, so the sooner you upgrade it, the better. Besides, Endless Prison also needs to be upgraded.
In challenging the world, the stronger you are, the more hope you have of survival.
Not to mention that the Great Bear Country brought the criminal sequence to the fifth-level world and joined the organization early on, even Da Xia was also intensively training the criminal sequence at the first opportunity and incorporating it into the next batch of legions entering the fifth-level world.
The Great Bear Country Commander didn't say much this time, but simply said, "It will be soon."
But as the two were talking, no one expected that the calmness of the moment would soon change.
By then, the Big Bear Country will be so grateful that it had reserved ten places early on, and that it could have obtained them with only some Blue Star supplies.
Precisely because the two sides are in a strategic alliance, Daxia will not betray its allies, and there are only benefits and no disadvantages in forming an alliance with Daxia.
At the beginning, after Daxia issued the announcement, many countries that had already obtained the intelligence scoffed at it, thinking that Daxia was just trying to gain favor after confirming that the intelligence could no longer be concealed.
"hypocritical!"
Osham's commander casually glanced at the announcement, and its content was almost identical to the intelligence he had in his hands.
Except for that "parasite".
Commander Osam was not a stubborn person. The word "parasite" gave people a bad impression, so he specially ordered his adjutant to investigate it.
As for the object of consultation, it is of course Daxia.
However, because Daxia was influenced by Wei Huan at the beginning, it never hesitated when attacking the remnants. No matter what they turned into, they would attack them as soon as they appeared, even if they turned into their lover.
Didn’t Wei Huan also kill the remnant who transformed into his lover?
Just kill him anyway.
Because of this, a lucky wave destroyed the "brains" of the survivors. The injured survivors' attack power was weakened and their burial speed was slowed down, which allowed the Daxia soldiers to successfully kill the survivors before they were completely parasitized.
Wei Huan also said that to confirm whether the survivors have been killed, just check whether the binding behind the supplies has disappeared.
So every time the Daxia Legion took action, they would just close their eyes and kill. They would not stop until they heard in their headphones that the mission was accomplished.
At that time, their "brains" were blown into pieces, and the red roots that had penetrated their bodies turned into ashes together, without affecting their brains, thus achieving deep control.
What useful answer could such a brainless and reckless Da Xia give to Osam? They only said that "parasitism" was the intelligence sent back from the front line, and asked them to take it seriously.
After receiving this answer, the commander of Osham chuckled and shook his head, then put the importance of parasitism behind mental attack.
And so, two days passed.
First, Osham's headquarters discovered that one of its bases had lost contact.
After several attempts to contact the police but still no recovery, Osham confirmed that an accident had occurred at the base.
"Could it be that the city was attacked by monsters? But I haven't heard them report it yet?"
"Yes, it's confirmed that they didn't report it. However, sir, I can see that they received an order three days ago to open a golden treasure chest within the base. Perhaps this treasure chest caused the accident."
"The opening of the gold treasure chest is supervised by the General Staff. Let's go ask them what's going on there."
After receiving the order, the Osam warriors contacted the staff.
The staff said, "Yes, that's right. We were indeed supervising the battle for the golden chest, but the information we received said that the battle was over that day."
"Thank you. I understand."
The Osam warrior told his superior, but instead of feeling relieved, the superior became nervous.
Because just when he was checking the message, the title of Daxia's announcement appeared in his system. The word "parasite" in it made him feel creepy for some reason.
So after receiving his subordinates' response, the officer said, "Now that we've killed the golden monster, what about the supplies? Go ask, who got the supplies? Or has anyone seen them untied?"
"yes!"
The subordinate went out for a walk and this time it took him half a day to come back.
The subordinate who returned had a strange expression on his face, and his voice was filled with urgency: "Reporting to the commander, I have checked with all the possible departments, and they have confirmed that they have not received any information about the golden monster's supplies."
So...either that base kept it for themselves and didn't plan to report it.
Or maybe...
The word "parasite" popped up in the officer's mind again.
Moreover, these two words seemed to have twisted into hideous thorns, glowing scarlet and poking his nerves again and again.
Having almost confirmed the truth, he dispatched a convoy to investigate.
Before they set off, the officer said, "Don't leave the tank, don't get close. First, make sure you contact the members in the base from a distance, report to me, and wait for the next order before taking action."
"yes!"
There aren't many fools among the challengers who can reach the fifth-level world, and they all understand what the commander is worried about this time.
Therefore, after arriving at the garrison island, they used various methods to remotely contact the garrison members, and then had no choice but to let the tanks approach the garrison little by little.
The base came into view and it was confirmed that it was intact and had not been attacked.
It's just that the base was too quiet. They had already entered the attack range of the base's weapons, but the other side not only did not shout, but also did not take any warning action.
This is totally not the attitude an official pioneering army should have.
In addition, what made the captain nervous was that on the other side of the island, the sign of the golden treasure chest was still there, but why did the staff receive the information that the battle had been completed?
Finally, their flying camera arrived above the base and triggered the defensive weapons on the city wall.
"Da da da!"
The flying camera was quickly shot down and turned into debris on the ground.
One of the cameras luckily avoided the attacks of all the weapons on the city wall and sent a short three-second picture. The driver and everyone in the cab who saw the pictures felt their backs tighten, as if death had come.
The driver immediately thought of something and shouted, "Leave here now! Leave now!"
After receiving the message, the AI butler retreated a hundred miles, but the driver still felt uneasy. The fear of the unknown made all the exposed skin feel numb.
"Retreat again!"
"Excuse me, are we returning to the base?"
"Okay... No, wait, let's retreat another hundred miles."
The commander, having calmed down a little, looked again at the 3-second image that was being played repeatedly on the tank's projection screen.
His face turned blue from time to time.
Then he ordered: "Send this video to the General Staff and the Commander."
Thus, a video that shocked the whole world appeared.
The base had turned into a zombie city like in a doomsday movie.
The humans were hunched over, dragging their legs as they walked. Their clothes were not only stained with blood, but some of their brains were exposed, and some of them only had half a head left. But they were all still alive and moving forward.
“Is this parasitism?”
Soon, Osham made the correct guess.
"Will there be any survivors? There are over 20,000 challengers in that base!"
"Even a level five sage can't defend against it? Is parasitism really that terrifying? I don't believe the entire base has fallen!"
"Arrange the chariots to set off immediately. Go and kill these damned survivors now. There are a full 20,000 of them! Perhaps some are still alive, waiting for our rescue. There is no time to lose, hurry over."
"Wait." But more generals appeared remarkably calm, saying, "If I remember correctly, Daxia's announcement mentioned not only parasitism but also anchor points. Going straight ahead, facing an attack from an unknown source, might result in even greater losses."
"Are you going to bow to Daxia? Make demands on Daxia?" A hardliner immediately objected.
But moderates said, "For the safety of our soldiers, what's wrong with bowing to Daxia? Facing this unknown threat, all we have to do is bow. Are you really going to test it with the lives of our soldiers?"
"So, you want to bow your head? Are you going to beg Daxia?"
"Yes, I do."
In the end, General Osam, who had a good relationship with Daxia and took the initiative to contact Daxia every time, finally made a video call to Mu Dehao.
Mu Dehao, who received the video content, also looked solemn. He did not expect that the result of being parasitized would be like this.
He sent the video to Wei Huan.
It is difficult to describe what Wei Huan thought when he saw the video.
But at that moment, when everyone else was angry and shocked, only Mu Zhong saw the deep sadness in Wei Huan's eyes.
Wei Huan had never seen these "zombies".
After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary challenger, and even in the legion, the information he could obtain was limited.
He only knew that the survivors of level five and six worlds were impostors, and that they would be attacked at full speed if they were discovered. He also only knew that humanity had been deceived by these survivors and suffered a major setback. Their failure to challenge the world affected the war on the battlefield, ultimately leading to the extinction of humanity.
At that time, he was also wondering what the survivors of the fifth and sixth level worlds would look like. How did they deceive humans and devour millions of humans?
At this moment, he understood.
It turns out that humans were destroyed at the very beginning.
They had been dead for a long time, but they thought they were still alive. The parasitic monster controlled their brains and then multiplied wildly through human-to-human transmission.
Moreover, because Red Root might not be able to leave this world, these controlled humans were given hints in their brains so that they would not leave this world either.
The secret was not completely revealed until the sixth level world.
Wei Huan didn't know how the outbreak happened. He only knew that in the level five world at that time, most humans had probably fallen under this parasitism, and then actively entered the level six world and became food for the monsters in the level six world.
So, is it true that in the previous life, when humans were in the fifth-level world, they were all like this and turned into zombies?
Is it the same for Captain Fang and the others?
No, monsters cannot leave the current world, so some people here may not be truly dead.
After all, there were still many things in the previous life that could not be explained, but the facts proved that humans in the fifth-level world did not realize the true face of the monsters, but they were not attacked and exterminated by the monsters.
The battlefield is the evidence. There are so many heroes fighting against the Dark Beasts there. These people must not have been infected.
"Perhaps there is still hope." Wei Huan told Mu Dehao to kill the golden monster first and then see what happens. Don't rush to clean up."
"Okay." Mu Dehao nodded and closed the video with a serious expression.
