Returning from the abyss

Chapter 559 Final Iron Fusion
Lu Ning successfully passed through the last layer of imaginary number space. The sense of time at that moment was a bit confusing, but the environmental readings fed back by the instrument immediately jumped from unsurvivable to livable.

This is Outpost No. 1. One of the functions of the "Ascension System" is to dig out an ecological circle directly from the phantom star, and retain the internal ecological cycle. Otherwise, the artificial ecological environment alone will not be the entire planet. Environmental improvement plans cannot guarantee ecological balance.

But speaking so environmentally friendly, Lu Ning raised her head and saw a deformed steel city.

"Team...Captain..." Spade, the lucky boy, was the first to follow Lu Ning out of the imaginary space. He was also shocked by the building in front of him, not because of its scale, but because of its appearance that challenged human aesthetics. .

A hexagonal main body of the city wall can be vaguely seen, and that is the only regular shape in the field of vision.A large number of pipelines, hanging objects, hooks, pulley blocks and other things protrude from the city wall, forming a chaotic vein with each other.If this building is compared to a person, then his body is already covered with protruding blood vessels and tumors... that's how it looks.

Then the people who came out of the imaginary space were also so ugly by this building, Mo Lianren even knocked on his helmet, suspecting that there was something wrong with the optical photography.

"Is this the No. 1 Outpost?"

In fact, everyone asked Pan Oak some questions before coming here. He still retained some loyalty to the outpost, so he didn't talk about important positions, but showed an indescribable expression about the appearance.Now everyone finally knows why Oak Pan looks like that. Apart from taking pictures, this building is really hard to describe in words.

"Where's the entrance? How do we get in?" Spades asked calmly.

"This external structure still has an entrance? Let's just climb in?" Kong Gu pointed to the various machines extending from the corner to the top of the high wall.

Even the spider silk and insect bait that are least suitable for the battle can climb up from this kind of place full of footholds with some auxiliary tools.Lu Ning thought for a while, even if there was a trap here, she still had to try it out, so she led the team to the base of the wall.

This space is isolated from the outside world. When you look up, you can only see the gray dome, without the universe and stars.Lu Ning first studied those machines. They were indeed doing some "work", and many parts extended into the wall, and they were not piled up on the outside meaninglessly.At the same time, they have no detection capabilities, which means that climbing up will not trigger some alarms.

Then use the imaginary number penetration device to check, there is no trace of imaginary space near the city wall, and there is no detection network of this type of technology.

"Go up." She put her hand on a pipe, she could feel a little vibration inside, as if fluid was flowing through it, Lu Ning resisted not to check what was inside, and began to climb up rapidly with the help of the surrounding footholds.

The total height of the city wall is about 20 meters, and it is almost effortless to climb in low gravity conditions.Lu Ning quickly swayed to the last metal bar with the help of a hook, and jumped onto the city wall with a single leap.

"Captain, how are you doing?"

"The inside is just as chaotic as the outside." Lu Ning squatted on the top of the wall and glanced at the city.

The distorted streets with no geometric figures at all, the crooked houses that make people dizzy just looking at them, and the color that can be called light pollution are just like a pile of building blocks that have just been poured out.

This is the first time Lu Ning has seen a realistic scene that makes people feel disturbed just by seeing it. To be honest, her acceptance of blood may be a little higher.She squatted down and slid down a pipeline that took seven or eight turns, and when she actually stood in Outpost No. 1, there was still no alarm.

No one——According to Pan Oak, when he took people away, there should be nearly a thousand people in the outpost, and the cloning plan had been activated at that time. After so many years, at least two batches of clones could be spawned Finish.But still nothing.

Lu Ning lowered her head and tried her command. All the biomechanical soldiers stayed outside. These soldiers didn't have the wisdom to use infiltration devices, and she couldn't contact them now.

"Hey." Mo Lian jumped down from a height of three meters and landed lightly.

"Poor man, something is wrong here."

"Not a single person... There are indeed some problems."

Referring to the situation of those outposts on the phantom star, even if no one is there, all kinds of robots should be busy with their own work, let alone the internal defense network.Now this place seems to be deserted, except for the sound of the surrounding machinery, which proves the operation of this place, it is no different from a dead city.

"Nowhere is right."

Pang Xu dared to directly send hydrogen bombs to blow up ships far away from the edge of the galaxy. It stands to reason that at least the industrial development here has not been left behind.Even if this steel city does have a taste of heavy industry - it can't be left alone!

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she walked towards the nearest building.

This building has many "corners" that go in and out, and the height is about five meters, which is relatively short.A large number of pipes protruded from the wall and connected to the ground, and a dozen small chimneys around it spewed out white steam from time to time.It took Lu Ning a while to find the "door" recessed in the wall.

At this time, the rest of the people had come down one after another. Seeing Lu Ning's movements, they raised their weapons in their hands and stood on guard around them. The rest pointed their guns directly at the door.

Lu Ning turned sideways and pressed the button on the door, then hid behind the wall.At this moment, a force like a whirlwind rushed out from the door. At the same time, a large amount of white steam gushed out and wrapped around the house. Lu Ning clearly saw the bullet-like spiral in the white mist. It flew out of the room about three meters before disappearing abruptly, and then the steam slowly dissipated.

"Huh? It's...it's a person..."

Just as everyone was about to greet them with grenades, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.

"Who's in there?"

The voice visibly trembled upon hearing the echo, and then yelled: "Please! Please come in! I won't attack...no!"

"We can't believe you." Mo Lianren said, "Tell me who you are!"

"I was captured by...the No. 1 Outpost! This is a betrayal! My name is Wu Rui..."

Lu Ning quickly searched her own information, and there was indeed such a person in the advance team, an ordinary soldier.

"What's the situation in this room? What's the matter with you? How did the attack come out just now?" She asked three questions in succession.

"This is a prison! I don't know! You didn't tell us anything! Everything is fine!" Wu Rui's voice was full of tears, "Then... I'm here. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, only the machine Talk to me! Let me out!"

"What did Outpost No. 1 do..." Spider silk took a step up the steps, but Lu Ning immediately gestured for her to stop.

"team leader?"

"How is your physical condition?"

"I-I'm fine! They provide some food! I'm healthy!" Wu Rui shouted, "You must be the rescuers! Outpost No. 1 has rebelled! Their behavior is abnormal and must Repression!"

"I can go in and take a look." Bayonet said, "It would be best if I could see what's going on inside."

"The drone is fine, you don't need to go in." Qiu Shu took off a reconnaissance drone, "We can even prepare something just in case..."

【Sir, I don't suggest you do this kind of thing. 】

The sudden appearance of a mechanical sound startled everyone, and Spade even turned his head and shot. The bullet hit a piece of metal and sparked.

This is a man in black armor, even his head is covered by a solid metal helmet.In fact, it is impossible to confirm whether there is a flesh and blood body under the metal shell. The only judgment at present is that this person's actions are fairly agile.

"Who are you?" Lu Ning pointed a gun at his feet, "Even if your defense is superior, we still have ways to deal with you."

"Please don't show such hostility—I'm a researcher at outpost No. 1, and I just pass by if I need to obtain some information." The black armor hurriedly spread his hands, "In addition, the people inside are A-level potential mutations , if you don’t want to release an A-level phantom beast, it’s best not to check the opposite side.”

"What?" Lu Ning understood a little bit, but still pretended not to understand.

"The reason why he was locked up is because of danger. We can't just kill him or give him freedom. These will cause a lot of trouble. We can try to kill an A-level phantom beast, but..." The black armor turned to look Glanced at the rest of the houses.

"You mean these are all similar?" Mo Lian was startled.

"It's all." Black Armor nodded, "I have received news that the outside world has been attacked by a powerful cutting star. I didn't expect the alliance technology to have such a development in recent years."

"We also came with the same purpose." Lu Ning said tentatively, "Your attack on the starship has offended them, and the No. 1 outpost will be destroyed, and none of you can escape."

"Threats are useless to us, we will all die." The black armor didn't care at all, "but not now, everything must wait until the suppression is completed. There are actually not many living 'people' here, most of them have become potential Mutations, there are only a few individuals who can maintain rationality. The one inside is only the person named Wu Rui."

"What is a potential mutant?" Spider Silk asked.

"Ah, since you have come here and passed the defense of the imaginary space, you should know something about what happened on the phantom star, right? Phantom star syndrome, this disease has not disappeared after leaving the phantom star, it still exists in us In everyone's mind. Over time, some people have experienced atavism-like phenomena, and their genes have become unstable again, and they have become susceptible to interference from surrounding information." The black armor raised his hand and drew a half circle, "They must be locked up alone without receiving external information stimuli, including the prison room must also contain a large amount of complex and difficult to recognize structural information, otherwise once the information accumulates, their bodies will mutate according to the response."

"You just said you couldn't kill it?" Insect Bait asked in a low voice.

"Yes, no matter how you die, the intense emotions you experience when you die may cause unpredictable changes in yourself. This is not a theory, but a fact that has happened." The black armor glanced down at his wrist, everyone Only then did I realize that there was actually a watch-like thing there.

"If you are willing to communicate, I don't mind telling you about some things here. The genes in your body should be fairly stable, but please don't think too much, otherwise I will have to enter my own prison."

"...Please lead the way." Lu Ning ignored Wu Rui's yelling in the room and walked down the steps.

"Thank you for your trust."

"How are you going to deal with the attack from outside? The location of Outpost No. 1 must have been exposed."

"The imaginary space can not only filter attacks, but also hide some deployments. The device in your hand can scan the space, but it won't scan Tianmuyi and the surrounding universe."

=
In the outside world at this time, more and more teams have launched satellites into the sky, and the global satellite observation system for Tianmuyi has been completed.Many people were startled by the web-shaped cutting traces on the surface, but the only blank spot also happened to mark the actual location of the No. 1 outpost, and the next thing to do was to rush there.

Mo Ningyan's troops were about to arrive, but someone still started the satellite cannon with the intention of being the first to attack.

Can't attack outposts, but hollowing out surrounding areas is never a problem.

But at this moment, the stars in the sky suddenly twisted, and among the bright starlight, countless small dark gray particles were suddenly mixed.

They are densely packed, covering the sky above the phantom stars.

=
"A lot of sky mines have been released in the surrounding space, but they are all covered by imaginary space. These sky mines use final iron fusion, and ordinary aerospace materials cannot resist them at all."

Final iron fusion, that is, nuclear fusion in which matter is continuously fused to the most stable state of iron, is a weapon that simulates the end of stars, and the alliance has not yet completed the development of this weapon.

The gray particles began to emit light one after another, bright and deadly.At that moment, the entire Tianmuyi ushered in daytime.

All the satellites floating in the sky were destroyed, followed by strong radiation and shock waves spreading to the surface of Tianmuyi.The magnitude of these sky thunders is naturally far inferior to that of stars, but once they accumulate in number, it will be a devastating disaster to the surface of the earth.

Have you ever been in a situation where a thousand dying suns are shining at the same time?Today, most people on the ground who have not had time to build underground bunkers have been washed away by such a destructive particle flow. After the first eruption, colorful lines have begun to appear in the sky. The wonders of astronomy have launched a cosmic battle amidst the conflicts. Death fell on the unprepared part of the people at the first time. The rays destroyed the cell structure, dissolved the cell membrane, and even ignited the human body from the inside. The biological parts including the biomechanical soldiers were also unable to avoid this kind of destructive killing. .

At this time, looking from the phantom star, the celestial eye brightened as if it started to shine.
