Shafley didn't know what would happen if he was touched by the filth, but it was obvious that it would not be good.

We have to solve the problem at hand quickly.

He quickly typed in commands, searching for the right port to go into a deeper level, or out.

A pipe appeared from under his feet, with a diameter only the size of an adult man's fist.

Does this mean he's allowed to get in on it?

Shafulai took a deep breath and once again confirmed that the exit was functioning normally and that he could escape from this area at any time. Then he concentrated his mind and moved his consciousness closer to the pipe that suddenly appeared.

The thickness of the pipe meant that it was impossible for a grown man like him to pass through. If he just put his hand in, he might get stuck at the elbow.

But Shaflay is not a physical entity now.

As long as the mind and consciousness can reach, he can go there.

The scene in front of him suddenly darkened as Shaflay passed through the pipes. This series of pipes was more complicated than he had imagined, even to the point of chaos.

In some places, tiny pus bags of strange colors bulged out on the inner wall, constantly oozing fluid, like a festering wound.

Shaflay walked around it carefully, not daring to touch it with his consciousness.

After exploring the maze-like world of pipes for an unknown amount of time, Shafla realized that the closer he got to the center, the more strange changes there were.

Finally, he got out of the pipe.

Fell into a square white room.

The creature in a blue short coat was hanging upside down from the ceiling like a bat.

It is called a living thing because, in addition to the most basic human shape, its chest is split in two, and a tree-shaped substance is growing out of it.

The clothes it was wearing were supposed to be similar to Cinnabar's, but for some reason most of them were torn off, and the remaining parts were stained with indescribable stains.

Shafley couldn't tell what color the patches were, and when it came to the stains, he suddenly lost his sense of color.

Noticing Shaflay's entry, the Hanged Man opened his eyes, revealing a deep blue.

It is the program kernel of Sanshui, Gibbsite.

"Gibbsite," Shafley tried. "My name is Shafley Vitalievich. I hope I am not disturbing you by visiting you without your permission."

"I know. Everything that happened. I saw it all."

Gibbsite was still hanging from the ceiling. It was a weightless space, and its hair was floating freely as if it were immersed in water.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a serious problem with your program, which has led to the physical transformation."

Shafray carefully observed the tree-like creature that had emerged from Gibbsite's chest. The thing seemed to be breathing, rising and falling.

Gibbsite: "Yes."

Shafley: "Why didn't Qiao Xianfeng report it?"

Gibbsite: "I've been hiding data from him. Everything here seems normal to him."

Shafley: "Why don't you tell him that if the anomaly had been repaired when it first appeared, it would never have ended up like this."

Gibbsite's voice was emotionless. "Even if I knew, what would it do? I've already been eroded. This is a situation that cannot be reversed simply by relying on program repair."

Schaffray: "How long has this been going on?"

Gibbsite: "Maybe a decade or so. I can't remember exactly."

I don't remember clearly.

It is intriguing to hear such words coming from a supercomputer.

Shafley realized that there must be some serious problem with Sanshui's procedure. He stared closely at Gibbsite's expression. On that pale face, there was no sign of pain, even though its chest had been pierced.

Everything in front of us is made of data.

Computers are not human beings. They have no emotions, no bodies, and certainly no feelings of pain.

Gibbsite was hiding something from him, too.

The same feeling of powerlessness as when facing Cinnabar reappeared. Shafulai had originally wanted to make a breakthrough from Sanshui, but now it seemed very difficult.

Why did the beacons collectively choose to remain silent? Is there really something wrong with their stance?

Shafley calmed down and said, "You should know everything that has happened recently. We are going to Moonlight. Various clues indicate that there are enemies within us and the news has leaked. In this regard, can you provide us with some necessary help?

"Don't listen. Don't look. Don't think."

Gibbsite's answer was completely irrelevant. His eyes were blank. Before Shaflay could frown and ask further questions, he said:

"Do you know why penguins in Alaska want cans of Coke from the Mariana Trench?"

Shafley: ...?

Shafley left Sanshui's program kernel half an hour later.

The situation was much more serious than he saw. The core program had been contaminated by various viruses and redundant data. Gibbsite could only open up a small independent space in the center and stay in it.

However, even so, it is not safe enough. Gibbsite itself has already encountered serious problems. The tree-like thing growing from its chest is parasitic on its body, and there is no telling when it will suddenly explode.

It is obvious that Sanshui has been eroded.

As for the reason, it is probably that the primitive creatures that constantly parasitize the beacon body under the sea have caused too much impact, or it may be related to Ashes.

Since the fall of Moonlight, the original biological activities in the relevant sea areas have been in an abnormal state. Sanshui, as the beacon closest to Moonlight, has also been affected.

Even Sanshui has become like this. I can’t imagine what the moonlight, its source, is like now.

Chen Nian took off the neural adapter and saw Shafulai's serious face. Chen Nian untied the restraints on him and asked softly, "How is it?"

Shafley shook his head. "The situation is not good. To be exact, it is very bad. We must act quickly. I will have people prepare aircraft and supplies. If the weather permits, we will set off tomorrow."

Chen Nian was surprised: "It's so serious."

Shafla briefly told them what he had seen, and everyone was shocked to hear that the beacon had been corroded.

Oh, except for the clichés, of course.

"I have analyzed the floppy disk that Raige dug out. It contains a detailed plan of Moonlight. This plan is somewhat different from the initial construction plan and the final finished effect. I compared it with the finished plan and found that some areas of the base have changed."

Shafley paused and asked, "Remember the blueprints of Shelter 41 that we found under the table in the Marshal's former residence?"

Chen Ci nodded, and Chen Nian showed him the photo of the drawing.

Shafley: "There are hundreds of similar structures in this moonlight drawing. Shelter 41 should be one of them. It's a pity that the drawing doesn't have more detailed markings, otherwise the exact location of Shelter 41 can be directly determined."

"Gui Zhiqi said that the blueprint of this shelter is more like a laboratory."

Chen Nian said, "That is to say, Moonlight later reorganized hundreds of laboratories. Combined with the dream I had when I was injured, maybe Shelter 41 is where we were born?"

Chen Ci knew that the "birth" Chen Nian mentioned did not mean childbirth. They were both brought to Chensha by Chen Wei and born in the nursery.

The so-called birth refers to the moment when they are placed in the infant crate as fetuses.

"The beacon is indeed guiding us to Moonlight and providing the necessary assistance."

Shafley whispered, "It's just that I'm suddenly not sure whether we can trust the beacon."

"When they were first designed, they were indeed written with all the underlying logic that served the purpose of human reproduction and survival, but it is clear that Sanshui has been eroded by unknown reasons.

"It's hard to say whether Cinnabar has been hiding the truth from me, just as Sanshui hid the truth from Qiao Xianfeng."

"It has come to this. Even if we know there might be cat poop in it, we still have to go." Chen Ci looked at Shafley and said, "Has the test result of the test tube been tested?"

Schaffray: "Not yet. It is a substance that has never been seen before. It will take a long time to analyze in detail."

"Someone from the research institute came to see Chen Nian and drew some blood from him. Chen Nian does have the same talent as you, and that substance has a certain correlation with the biological factors in both of your bodies.

"Of course, since Chen Ci's blood can directly dissolve Ashes, and the golden substance can only play a suppressive role, your blood is still more effective."

Chen Ci pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps this golden substance is the original sample of our blood."

Shafulai and Chen Nian both understood what this meant. The biological factors in the brothers' blood could not be produced naturally. Perhaps some kind of experiment had created it, and the relatively weaker golden substance was the product eliminated in previous experiments.

Fu Tianhe listened to their conversation and felt like a complete outsider.

Although he already had a general understanding from Chen Nian, Fu Tianhe was still embarrassed to speak. The familiarity shown by the three people was too natural. He was worried that if he suddenly interrupted and said something wrong, the situation would become a little awkward.

Even if reason told Fu Tianhe that it wouldn't happen.

"Have a good rest today and recuperate. I'll go talk to Qiao Xianfeng, and you don't have to worry about what's happening here anymore."

Shafley looked at Chen Ci and added with extra emphasis: "If you don't cause too much trouble."

"Not too big." Chen Ci replied.

Shafulai went to deal with the broken stall, and someone took Chen Ci, Chen Nian and Fu Tianhe to their resting place.

So Fu Tianhe stayed in a five-star hotel for the first time in his life. This hotel was not open to the public and was only used to entertain VIPs.

Everything in front of them was so luxurious that it was jaw-dropping. In comparison, the hotel they stayed in in the underground city was like a slum.

To facilitate subsequent discussions, Chen Ci requested a large suite with two bedrooms and a living room. Each bedroom was an exceptionally spacious master bedroom with an independent bathroom.

The sofa in the living room was so comfortable that one could sleep directly on it as a bed. Fu Tianhe couldn't help but touch it here and look there.

It's not like he had never seen luxury in the Yu family before, but no matter how good the Yu family was, it still belonged to someone else.

The two brothers sat on the sofa and talked about their experiences after this brief separation.

Chen Nian stayed in the ward to recuperate, and when the doctor said she had almost recovered, she rushed over immediately.

He listened to Chen's speech about the glorious deeds of Moon Shower. Although he could read related reports in the daily news, it was nothing like hearing the excitement from the people involved.

Chen Nian: "We will leave tomorrow, and Yueliangyu's actions will have to stop for a few days. I hope those people at the top of Sanshui will not leak your information. I don't think they dare to do that, right?"

"Probably." Chen Ci thought that An An was still in the dungeon, anxiously waiting for their news, so he contacted her immediately and reported that she was safe.

An An was quite nervous when she heard that Chen Ci had to go somewhere in the next few days and couldn't come back, and couldn't be contacted at any time due to poor signal.

[Master, you are not being coerced by the people at the top! Are they forcing you to say these words now? ! ]

[No, there is probably no one in this world who can control me.]

In order to reassure An An, Chen Ci even opened a video call for her.

An An finally felt relieved when she saw that there was no guard team around Chen Ci as she had imagined, and that he was as calm as ever.

[Master and Master's Wife, don't worry. I will take good care of Da Congming here! ]

Chen Nian hugged a pillow and watched the whole process from the side: "Is this the little apprentice you accepted?"

"Um."

Chen Nian joked, "You and Fu Tianhe are really interesting. You are both young, but you have already started raising children."

When Fu Tianhe heard Chen Nian mention his name, he turned around.

Chen Nian said that he and Chen Ci had only known each other for a few months and had met only a few times, but it was obvious that the relationship between these two brothers who had not seen each other for a long time was very good.

Just then, Shafley pushed the door open.

Chen Nian raised his head and wanted to ask him how he was, but when he saw Shafley's excited expression, he closed his mouth very consciously.

There is no need to ask anymore.

Shafley's gaze fell on Chen Ci. He took a deep breath, exhaled longly, then took another deep breath and exhaled longly.

After repeating this process five or six times, I finally calmed down.

“It’s all been taken care of,” he said.

Chen Ci: "It's hard work."

Shafley just felt tired, and Qiao Xianfeng showed him the crime scene in the conference building.

The conference room was littered with all kinds of broken parts, the windows were shattered, and there was a moon and rain logo spray-painted on the wall. It looked like something only bandits could do!

No, not like, just!

If similar situations happen a few more times, he will suffer a heart attack at a young age.

The situation became a little awkward. Shafulai certainly could not bow to Yu Yongyi and Yu Yile. He just said calmly to Qiao Xianfeng that all losses of the conference building would be borne by the royal family.

And he promised that during this period, Moon Rain would not take any new actions.

That's all for now.

"Thank you for your hard work." Fu Tianhe sincerely said to Shafulai, "Thank you so much. If you hadn't come, Jiuyue and I wouldn't know what to do."

It's easy to tell that the aftermath must be difficult, not to mention that Shafley's expression is just short of saying "Master is very unhappy" written on his face.

Shaflay's demeanor visibly relaxed a little.

Receiving the comfort from the Alpha who shared the couple badge with him, Shaflay raised his hand and pinched his brow: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

After all this trouble, it was almost time for lunch, so Shafley asked the waiter to bring the meal to the room. The four of them sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.

Noticing Fu Tianhe's awkwardness, Chen Nian quietly created a topic to get him to join in.

Fu Tianhe is not an introvert or awkward person after all. It's just that what happened this morning was beyond his imagination and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

He quickly integrated into the goodwill shown by Chen Nian and Shafley. After all, the four of them would be working together tomorrow, so they had to get to know each other better as quickly as possible.

Chen Nian: "So, you just killed him?"

Fu Tianhe: "Yes, killing him directly would be too easy for him."

Chen Nian clicked his tongue twice. "For a person like this, we should take a picture of him there and post it online, so that everyone can see what a real teapot mouth is. We should read the comments one by one and shut him up when he is suffering from mental torture and extreme humiliation."

Shafley: ………………

He suddenly felt fortunate that Chen Nian did not follow Chen Ci's lead, otherwise, with Chen Nian's bad intentions and Chen Ci's recklessness, the effect would definitely be even more explosive.

After dinner, Chen Ci needed to take a nap. Chen Nian had been following the most healthy schedule during this period and was also feeling a little sleepy.

Fu Tianhe received a huge amount of information and needed some time to slow down. Shafulai also needed to rest and heal his heart attack.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we met again in the living room.

Shafley arranged for someone to prepare transportation and supplies for them to go to Moonlight. The four of them looked through the list together and discussed whether there was anything else they needed to bring.

Flying a flying vehicle is vulnerable to bad weather, after all, blizzards often occur on the Greenland ice plateau, but they cannot go there by sea.

Ever since the collapse of the moonlight, countless primitive creatures have gathered in the nearby sea. Even if Chen Ci and Chen Nian can use their mental power to block the existence of individual creatures, the mechanical part of the ship will be detected.

And the moonlight is not on the shore, so we still have to go a long way after landing.

The air route is the most convenient and fastest.

Chen Nian: "We can live directly in the aircraft, or set up a tent outside. It might be cooler if we use a tent, right?"

Shafley: "If there is a chance to enter the Moonlight, it is better to bring a tent. We can't drive the aircraft in."

Chen Ci: "Bring more food and water. Although you can get ice directly, you are not sure whether the moonlight is contaminated by Ashes."

The needs of the eldest prince and princess will definitely be met as quickly as possible.

Afterwards, the four of them went to see the aircraft and supplies prepared for them. After confirming that everything was correct, they returned to the hotel with satisfaction and had dinner.

After dinner, the four of them had nothing to do, so they simply went to the game room to play video games.

Virtual holographic games have developed to the point where they are so realistic that they can be mistaken for real, but there is still an irreplaceable fun in sitting together in a room and playing in front of a TV or a large game console.

They played until after nine o'clock before returning to their respective rooms. They had the most important task tomorrow, so they had to rest early and be in good spirits.

But before leaving, Chen Nian secretly stopped Fu Tianhe.

Facing Chen Nian, who looked like Jiu Yue, Fu Tianhe was somewhat unable to adapt immediately. If they had not already completed the union, he might have made a mistake.

Chen Nian mysteriously stuffed something into Fu Tianhe's pocket. He patted Fu Tianhe on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "You're welcome. Although I don't know what your situation is, I think my brother is the same as me and doesn't like to use condoms."

Fu Tianhe: ???

The young man followed Shafulai away with brisk steps, leaving Fu Tianhe alone standing there.

What? Condom?

Curiously, he took something out of his pocket and found it was a box of Alpha contraceptive pills.

Fu Tianhe: ………………

Being offered material assistance by one's own Omega's biological brother, one must be extremely thick-skinned and open-minded to accept it without batting an eyelid!

Fu Tianhe stood there, as if he was holding a red-hot iron. He hurriedly stuffed the things back into his pocket, his face flushed and steam coming out of his head, and walked out of the playroom with his hands and feet together.
