Returning from the abyss

Chapter 824 Planetary Changes
Quitting Killing provides tourists with a failure reference, but unfortunately no one can know why he failed, people can only know the consequences of failure.

Within three hours, the Silent Buddha transformed into a giant covered with brain folds as a whole, and the knowledge fragments it continuously split changed from blue to black, and finally scarlet, and for the possible existence here Most of the people who came from the "future of superpowers" were surrounded by these fragments of knowledge, corrupted, and became the notorious "Metabolizers" later. Only a few lucky ones were able to escape.

This news was obtained by Lu Ning from the stronghold she established later, and it came from the version that was spread among the wanderers.Of course, it's actually pretty much the same.The last resort of the anomalous groups was still useless, because several other groups of anomalous groups sensed the strong rotten smell here and came to support them, and they jointly chopped off the knowledge giant's feet and blocked its ability to move.But this is the best that the anomalous group can do. The knowledge giant can't be killed at all. In the end, it can only designate a radius of twenty miles as a restricted area, and let the wanderers go to various bases and small strongholds to promote.The body of knowledge fragments is easy to kill, and as long as you pay attention, it will not pose a threat. The only ones that cause a lot of problems are the "metabolizers", that is, the mutated people that Lu Ning saw.Walking in the wilderness, they would attack humans day and night, piercing the brains of humans through the tubes in their mouths and sucking out something.Although they won't die on the spot, they will immediately become fools. They don't even know how to excrete except eating and sleeping, and they will weaken and die in a few days.

The stronghold has also seen signs of metabolites wandering around. These new monsters are more difficult to deal with than the E-type ones before, and they have formed a type. Fortunately, there are sufficient supplies in the stronghold. After they found it, they were closed for several days. , was not attacked.

Lu Ning is still very satisfied with the people she has found, and what she needs for survival is just survival.

"So, is there any information about the real believers?"

"I heard that some wanderers have been recruited. Those believers will provide superpower enhancements and exclusive weapons, claiming that they will find a new way out of the ignorant world. Generally, we dare not contact people with this tendency Yes, after all we are just a small stronghold."

The leader didn't have much information to tell, and the believers only left a lot of rumors, but they didn't actually see the whereabouts of the main characters.Even if Lu Ning used the blue trial to search, she could only mark one of the believers. Everyone in this group held the same belief, and it would not take that much time to find them all.

She went back to her room and thought about how to find out the ignorant believer organization.Now she can naturally eliminate an organization through the blue trial, but doing so is only the minimum requirement for the mission of the distribution center, and she doesn't want to just do the minimum.

Among the previous missions on the third stage, a progress prompt appeared in the recapture part of the Type A virus catalog. From the progress point of view, this is not a personal mission but a mission for the entire tourist. It has been completed to about one-third of the level, but it is a pity that it does not show accurate value.Lu Ning thought for a while, and took out the blank reward order from her close pocket.

She was absolutely certain that this was her own mental image.

However, the experience of quitting killing reminded Lu Ning not to touch this thing lightly.This is not like the different selves that were split out of the dislocation Rubik's Cube before. If it is more in line with the distribution center, this is a soul challenge. If it fails, some kind of soul pollution will immediately break through.

But on the other hand, if you want to separate from the stage, you may have to start from this aspect.Meng Juan is right. Tourists are the builders of this world. The change of the world is a chaotic world formed by the fusion of the past of various tourists. Because of this, tourists enjoy various privileges in this world, because They themselves are existences like the Creator.

So... why would it fail?Tourists have not found their true self?Or was it corrupted by his own mental image?

wrong.Lu Ning tapped her forehead. Many of the things she learned now came from what other tourists said, rather than what she knew through her own investigation and feelings.What can really be used as the basis for judgment should be the most intuitive feeling I had at the crystal before.

She took the pen and paper.

The first is the tourists in the scene. According to what Lu Ning has seen so far, she, Tang Ling, Meng Juan, Li Xilou, Zhao Xihua, Zhao Chenshuang, Jiesha, as well as the women seen under the tower and the people with Zhao Xihua .These people all have obvious characteristics of tourists, and there are nine in total, and there are ten in the type A virus catalog, so there is one tourist that she probably didn't notice.

Ten tourists and ten Type A virus individuals, a simple connection problem.

The relationship between myself and the blank reward order is beyond doubt, and Jie Kill has also claimed the Silent Buddha, so the remaining eight...

"The first one, the semi-crystalline column, with a pure gem-like posture, finally formed a group of monsters with a certain social order, regardless of the tourist I don't know yet... It should be Zhao Xihua, which corresponds to her nature 'Kingdom' .”

Lu Ning drew a circle at the bottom of the paper.

"The second one, the asymmetrical mirror image, Zhao Xihua took it away from Michael's body. It does not exist in a physical state. From the perspective of performance, it is similar to Li Xilou's ability, and it is probably related to him. And Beginning to break away from the state of the material world, what should be formed is the 'foundation'.

"The third...is not sure yet, and I don't know anything about the last virus catalog. Then skip this one, it's me and the blank reward order. Although I haven't used it before, Liao Hongli can almost use it against me. Immediate countermeasures corresponding to my abilities, does it represent 'victory'?
Lu Ning pinched her temples and looked up.

"But all of this is based on this kind of inference. What if these are just hypotheticals? Although I was finally attracted by the 'victory' in the semi-crystalline column, is this a coincidence? Or is everything like this fate ? Hint? Or..."

"Lu Ning!"

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door, interrupting Lu Ning's thinking.Lu Ning folded the paper and stuffed it into her pocket, got up and opened the door.

It was a young man in charge of security at the stronghold, and he looked a little anxious.

"what happened?"

"Our observation post reported the news. There is a dark thing coming here from the southeast. Everyone must hide underground immediately and block all entrances and exits. The leader asked me to come and tell you!"

"Understood, thank you, you go to work."

After Lu Ning sent the young man away, she returned to the ground before the entrance and exit were blocked.

A piece of blackness?She found a tall building and climbed up, glanced to the southeast, and was also slightly taken aback.It was dark indeed—a whole black forest.

After the apocalypse, people have indeed seen many animals being alienated into monsters, but plants have never found signs of being alienated.At this point, biologists believe that the plant's genes may not be suitable for viral infection.However, now Lu Ning saw a stretch of forest moving here at a not too fast speed.

As the forest got closer, she noticed a faint light in the middle of the forest.

For a moment, she remembered the record of [sun-sun-sun] in the Type A virus. The researchers believed that the photosphere and the stone statues around it were the main body of the Type A virus, but they did not expect that the positive forest had become The carrier of this type A virus!

The only question is, why didn't this thing just stay where it was, but started to move on such a large scale?

Lu Ning jumped down from upstairs, turned into lightning and rushed towards the forest.

The forest is really completely dark.

From the trunk, to the leaves, to the roots pulled out for movement, everything is black. When it moves, it only makes some rustling sounds of leaves and branches rubbing against each other. Let the quiet be more highlighted.Lu Ning landed next to the woods, and didn't see any aggressiveness from those trees, and the bright ball of light inside couldn't be seen from the outside.

Where is it going?

Where the forest passes, there are only cracks left by the ground being scraped, and some fertile soil has been robbed of a lot of water and soil, but it is only the surface layer.The forest did not cause any damage, and the stones and abandoned vehicles that could not absorb nutrients were just stepped on.

Lu Ning took out a simple Molotov cocktail, dyed it, and threw it into the forest from above.

The flames flickered in it, and the fuel inside couldn't even burn. It seemed that it was useless to try to harm ordinary means.From here, Lu Ning followed the forest to see where it was going.

This phenomenon does not only happen in this one place.

If the communication is still there, then people will definitely be able to find that, except for the knowledge giant born from the Silent Buddha and the reward order held by Lu Ning, the rest of the Type A virus individuals are moving closer to one of them - the semi-crystalline pillar.

And those who possessed type A virus individuals discovered this matter earlier than Lu Ning.At the capital base, the [Non-Existent Hero] who was originally tightly locked in a box appeared outside the box immediately, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards.In Zhao Xihua's convoy, the killer that Yu Sheng was following also found that the type A virus in his hand had left his control and began to move in one direction.

As these virus individuals began to move, the cloud and cold that had been lingering over people's heads also quickly dissipated. Lu Ning tracked it for only two days, and felt that the surrounding temperature jumped directly from winter to close to spring.

She realizes that this kind of change should not be regional, at least covering the country, and maybe even happening globally.

"There is……"

As the forest approached the target, Lu Ning also recognized the place she had been to.The brilliance reflected in the sunlight by the semi-crystalline columns is visible even in daylight.After many days, Lu Ning found that buildings had appeared nearby.

The style of the building is completely different from the architectural style of the earth, using a lot of spiral, triangle, pentagram and arc-shaped pendulum-shaped decorations, all of which present a structure that is thick up and down and thin in the middle like an hourglass. There will be more than a dozen chains hanging from the top, and the height of the buildings is generally more than 30 meters.

Lu Ning couldn't even tell whether these were buildings or totems for a moment.

The black forest crawled into a complex of buildings. The branches clung to the surrounding buildings, and the roots of the trees were chained underneath. The beards penetrated deeply into the holes in the middle of the buildings, and soon entrenched themselves in the buildings. It came down and finally stopped moving.At this time, Lu Ning finally saw the stone statues described in the record.They stand below the building, watching towards the most central building.A bright light was lit in the central building, like a lantern, containing the body of the Type A virus.

only it?Or... will there be more?
The brilliance emitted by the distant column echoed the black forest. Lu Ning slowly felt the familiar disgust she felt at the semi-crystalline column before. It was a natural rejection of a corrupt self. Of course, she knew the two What they represent is not themselves, but tourists.

Must leave.

At the same time, the remaining Type A virus individuals also approached the arranged area, and their undisguised movements along the way also attracted many curious people to follow.After all, there were still a small number of people who escaped from the scene of the Silent Pagoda, and most people still don't understand the danger of these Type A virus individuals.

Just after noon, someone began to try to use artillery to bombard one of the buildings. The Type A virus individuals that were supposed to be stationed there hadn't arrived yet. They planned to test it just because they had witnessed those weird buildings.As expected, the E-type monsters hidden in the building swarmed out, and it took only 15 minutes to tear those people to pieces.

The second type A virus individual in place is [I will be grateful to the world], it is a large metal ball with a diameter of about three meters, with a hatch, but it is in an airtight state, with an unhurried attitude Scroll to the building complex prepared for it.Behind the metal ball, a group of robots of different sizes followed with clumsy steps.Lu Ning could tell that these robots were similar to the ones around Meng Juan and Tang Ling, with an old and fleshy smell.

The metal sphere was embedded directly above the hourglass, and then opened its own hatch.Lu Ning jumped up and took a look. There was a very comfortable seat inside, and around the seat were dozens of blood-stained and rusty tools such as drills, files, saws, and needles.
