Instantly, countless fine vines on the continent stopped moving, and in accordance with the black-haired boy's instructions, they covered themselves with a thick layer of siliconized shell.
The soldiers and commanders who were waiting in a serious position stared in amazement at the countless black tentacles that were twisting and eating in front of them, and suddenly they stopped! The surface was shining like porcelain, standing there quietly, like tens of thousands of black statues.
The presidents of the Federation of Nations were also stunned when they saw this scene on the big screen! He could only stop his passionate countdown awkwardly, then cleared his throat and ordered:
"All attacks are suspended, and the scientific and technological personnel of various countries should first conduct an investigation and research on the current situation... um..."
So the scientists of various countries carefully approached the "black statue" closest to them. They began to study the coat that suddenly appeared on them.
The silkworms let the scientists knock on them without any action. They pretended that they could not feel anything, and they were just a group of simple stone statues.
The more than 6 million soldiers who were ready to go could not leave or stay at this time. They could only temporarily carry flamethrowers and laser guns and withdraw from the garbage dump, assemble on the periphery, and be on standby at any time.
One hour later
Thousands of top scientists around the world reached a consensus after discussing with each other:
these alien black nematodes have all entered a deep dormant state for some unknown reason. In this dormant state, they do not seem to need to consume energy or exchange substances with the outside world. And now their epidermis is composed of a certain silicification and does not have any life characteristics. However, this silicified shell has extremely strong resistance to shock and high temperature!
In short, scientists unanimously stated that they do not agree to take any offensive measures against the dormant black nematodes now, because this is likely to activate them again!
On the contrary, the black nematodes are completely harmless to humans in this silicified state.
Therefore, the leaders of various countries and officials of the Federation of Nations were divided into two camps with completely different attitudes:
the conservative camp said: we should withdraw our troops immediately to prevent those soldiers from reactivating the black nematodes by some careless behavior. In the next ten hours, we should try to maintain this peaceful situation and wait for the SSS-level savior of the Savior Alliance to arrive!
The radical camp retorted: we don’t know what caused the black nematodes to hibernate. They can all enter a dormant state within one second, so it is very likely that they can all be activated within one second! The timing of their hibernation is too coincidental, maybe this is the conspiracy of the black nematodes! Hibernation is used to confuse us and deliberately make us withdraw our troops! (A certain alien nodded, you got the truth.) So we must not fall into their trap!
The two factions argued endlessly in the United Nations Council.
As a result, the more than 6 million soldiers who could not get accurate orders could only wait for orders for a whole night surrounded by countless black sculptures of strange shapes...
The next morning, in the hotel,
a certain alien got up, ate breakfast leisurely, and reached out to take the stack of art film discs.
The system, which had accompanied the host for a day and two nights, finally felt a little guilty, and asked weakly in the black-haired boy's mind:
"Host, it's not good for us to keep playing like this? How about we start doing the task?"
The black-haired boy: "Yeah, we'll only watch a 2-hour movie today, and we'll stop at 9 o'clock."
System 2d14 asked happily: "And then start contacting the local government departments?"
The black-haired boy: "No, I'm just worried that it will be too noisy outside at that time, and it will ruin the mood of the movie."
System 2d14: "Huh?"
8:30, beach.
Countless black silks who had completed the seabed cleanup mission swarmed in, drilled into the entrance of the black vines' silicified shells extending from the mainland, and quickly rushed inland along the silicified pipes.
The black silk natives in the silicified shells who were originally doing tasks on the ground instantly compressed their volume to a quarter of their original size to make room for the reinforcements.
8:59
There was no trace of black silk in the vast ocean. The originally turbid sea water had now become crystal clear. Billions of tons of various garbage disappeared without a trace, and the sea surface reflected blue waves under the sunlight.
Tick-tock, 9 o'clock!
Hundreds of millions of black statues on the mainland instantly replaced their silicified shells, and their volumes suddenly expanded four or five times larger than before! Then they began to operate frantically!
"Assemble! Assemble! Level 1 alert!"
The soldiers, who had been up all night and had dark circles under their eyes, hurried to their main position - the garbage dump under the order of their leader. Two minutes later, they were horrified to find that the black vines had long disappeared from the garbage dump, and were replaced by countless huge black vesicles like mountains! Each black bulge swallowed up a mountain of garbage, and those large and small black bulges kept squirming, as if chewing food! Seeing such a scene, even the commanders felt their scalps tingling, and many soldiers with claustrophobia vomited on the spot...
What they didn't see was that in the city, the black threads originally attached to the ground in the streets and alleys quickly surged towards the city center. In the gaps between the most prosperous high-rise buildings in the city, they gathered into a super-large vine more than ten meters thick, and then rose from the ground like a magic pea vine in a fairy tale, rushing straight into the sky! Then it disappeared in the thick haze above the city.
After rising to a suitable height, the black vine exploded like fireworks, and countless fine threads probed into the surrounding sky and merged with the dense black particles in the haze.
The people in the nearby skyscrapers felt like they were in hell! They had been crowded together on the upper floors to avoid the black nematodes on the ground, but now they all fled down the stairs, and a few frantically tried to squeeze into the elevator on their floor!
However, the first group of people who rushed down to the first floor found in despair that the building had been squeezed by black vines swarming from the street! Layer upon layer of vines flooded the bottom of the building like a quagmire, and the glass outer wall of the first floor of the skyscraper could not even let in a trace of light. It was as dark as night!
Therefore, the people trapped in the building can only take out their mobile phones, take pictures of their horrific situation, and post them on the Internet or government websites to try to ask for help...
At this time, the big screen of the Federation of Nations
kept playing videos taken by citizens of cities around the world showing giant vines rising from the ground.
"A total of 5,162 such phenomena have been found across the mainland..."
"According to satellite data, the highest black vines can reach 11,000 kilometers..."
The radical officials shouted: These are the cunning black nematodes sending signals to outer space! Telling their partners that our planet is now completely controlled, and they may summon more alien creatures to invade our homeland! We must not let them succeed! (A certain alien: I just went to the sky to pick up those granular brothers who have already cleaned up the atmosphere...) The conservative
officials were powerless to refute this, and they could not come up with a better explanation to explain this terrifying and strange phenomenon. So the radical officials won an overwhelming victory in the Federation of Nations! They immediately issued an order to all the troops:
"Assemble all troops immediately! Rush to the city center and destroy those giant vines at all costs!"
When the on-site commanders at the garbage dump were at a loss as to whether to order an attack on the large vesicles in the garbage dump, they also received an order from their superiors, so the commanders led the soldiers who were exhausted by lack of sleep and vomiting to rush to the city center.
When they arrived a few dozen meters away from the giant magic pea vine, they could no longer move forward. They were blocked by the half-man-thick layer of wriggling black roots on the street. So the commanders made prompt decisions and ordered their soldiers to set up quantum cannons and aim at the black trunks between the buildings and fire!
Boom!
The shells hit the main trunk of the black vine with great impact force, and instantly blew a gap of several meters in the trunk! The black juice splashed all over the surroundings, covering the faces of the soldiers standing in the first few rows. Then the soldiers were horrified to find that the thick black liquid in their bodies was like a living thing, rapidly wriggling and gathering on their bodies! All the soldiers jumped wildly with fear, trying to shake off the black juice! After the black silkworms that were blown into flat pieces fell to the ground, they continued to wriggle and join the black roots on the ground...
and the gap in the main trunk had already been perfectly filled by the black silkworms that rushed up!
Continue the attack! The commanders ordered.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of bombardment continued in various cities.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of bombing outside the window, a certain alien calmly sipped a glass of red wine. (Why rush? Anyway, it can't be killed by bombing)
System 2d14 listened to the noise outside the window and asked a little scared: "Host! What's going on outside? Should we ask the people in the hotel?"
"Actually, I don't have any superpowers at all." The black-haired boy ignored the system's question and said.
System 2d14: "Ah? But I have tested it!"
Black-haired boy: "The accuracy of your test needs to be improved. Although I don't have superpowers, I have some other abilities."
System 2d14 asked excitedly: "What is it, host?"
The black-haired boy smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand.
Then he walked to the French window, stretched out his hand, and quickly opened the blackout curtain that had not been moved for two days. He stared at the purgatory-like scene outside the window and said to the system:
"See for yourself."
