The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

The reporter Xiao Wang slid his finger across the screen, and a battlefield scene was projected in the center of the conference table. In the picture, there were eerie humanoid figures crawling like spiders, which were creepy. They were like skinned primitive people, crawling quickly on the ground with their limbs.

Liu Jiayi put down the report in her hand and looked up at the screen. She remembered that when Shen Ge entered the information about the monsters into the Ark system, he mentioned that he had seen similar humanoid monsters in the granary base in another fragment world.

As soon as Shen Ge "disappeared", the Dashan base encountered this strange humanoid attack, which inevitably made her think too much and suspect that this was a "revenge" against Shen Ge.

But is there really someone in this world like Shen Ge who has the ability to travel through the fragmented world?
She couldn't help but think of the military base that Shen Ge had captured for the survivors. The "big whale" hidden in the dark clouds in the sky was highly similar to the dark clouds that were now fighting against the mountains.

The counterattack of the monster organization is finally here?
call.

Liu Jiayi sighed inwardly, if this was really a counterattack by the monster organization, Shen Ge was now in a "missing" state, and the Dashan base really had no means of responding.

The "mountain" has become the last barrier of the base. Once the cave maze is lost, it will be a disaster for the survivors.

"Is there any related information about this kind of strange humanoid in the previous combat records?" Liu Jiayi did not choose to directly tell the information left by Shen Ge. On the one hand, most of the officials present were not clear about Shen Ge's true situation, and on the other hand, it might also direct the blame to Shen Ge.

At this time, a senior researcher who used to be in charge of weird research in the shelter said: "There has been no similar weird information in the past. According to the information fed back by the defense forces, these humanoid weird things are also a 'new species' that have only appeared in the last two weird waves. There has not even been any similar weird things before."

"In fact, this is the first time I've seen a monster that looks so similar to humans. It's completely different from the parasites that were created when humans were parasitized by parasitic monsters. Judging from the two samples captured by the defense forces, they seem to have undergone alienation, which is contrary to our previous research results on monsters."

The senior researcher's meaning was very clear. No matter which world it was, "humans could not absorb strange energy to transform" was the core theory. Once this theory was overturned, it meant that human's research on strange energy had been developing in the wrong direction over the years.

"Director Qian, do you think there is a possibility that these humanoid monsters are still creatures parasitic by parasitic monsters and are evolving towards human appearance, but with our current level of research, we are temporarily unable to effectively identify the parasitic monsters?" an official questioned.

Whether researchers or ordinary people, they are actually unwilling to believe that humans will directly undergo alienation, because if the strange energy can really affect human alienation, it means that humans are completely hopeless.

Given a choice, who would want to become a monster?

"It's possible."

After a pause, senior researcher Director Qian continued, "But for now, it doesn't matter whether humans are directly transformed or not. What matters is that the soldiers of the defense force mentioned that they had witnessed their dead companions transforming into monsters. This means that even if parasitic monsters quickly parasitize and transform after killing humans, we cannot counter it at the moment."

Even if it is a parasitic weirdness, such a rapid parasitism and alienation method is an extremely difficult problem for the Dashan Base, let alone the experienced creators of the Ark.

The spread of the weirdness cannot be suppressed, and it is like a zombie virus that turns the dead into the same monsters. The base has no means of countering this.

At this time, the official who had just raised the question said, "I remember Chairman Shen mentioned that the cave in the mountains is a complex maze, and it is composed of multiple strange spaces. If so, even if there are these terrifying humanoid monsters in the mountains and forests, it must not be so easy for them to get in here, right?"

Liu Jiayi said in a deep voice: "First of all, only Chairman Shen knows how to deal with the principles and controls of the cave maze. Secondly, according to the intelligence feedback from the defense forces, there are too many humanoid monsters in the forest. The swallowing speed of the 'mountain' has gradually slowed down, which has caused the coverage area of ​​these humanoid monsters to even include the entrance of the cave."

"One weirdo might get lost in the multiple weird spaces and caves, but what about a thousand, ten thousand, or even... millions of humanoid weirdos?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say this is the biggest 'crisis' that the Dashan Base has faced since its establishment!"

"Everyone, this time it really concerns the survival of mankind. We must face the danger and seek a breakthrough, rather than expecting external factors to save us!"

Liu Jiayi’s words are heavy, but they are also the “reality” that the Dashan Base has to face.

But once these words were spoken, the conference room fell into silence, and the expressions of the officials and elite soldiers became extremely solemn.

The official had no choice but to throw the question back to Liu Jiayi: "Chairman Liu, do you have any good ideas to deal with the current crisis?"

Liu Jiayi turned her head to glance at the reporter Xiao Wang who was on standby next to her. The other party immediately understood and changed the picture on the projector, playing the defense plan that Liu Jiayi had previously formulated.

After seeing the defense plan, the officials present suddenly changed their expressions, because Liu Jiayi's plan was very simple, to use strange energy bombs to blow up the twisted passage and turn the cave into a completely twisted space.

There is only one result of doing this, and that is to block the humanoid creatures from entering while also cutting off the possibility for the people in the mountain base to leave.

It doesn't mean that it's impossible to get out. If Shen Ge comes back, as the controller here, he might be able to rebuild the passage.

But if Shen Ge is unable to rebuild the passage, the survivors of the mountain base will have to live in this "paradise" forever.

But the question is, is this really a paradise on earth?

Not to mention that "Dashan" itself is a seventh-order King-level creature, and the Dashan base is built in the belly of the weirdness. Just say that recently because of the impact between "Dashan" and the unknown high-level weird energy from the outside world, the internal weird energy has been out of control, causing the poultry to become alienated, leading to frequent weird events. This has nothing to do with "Paradise". After all, which "Paradise" itself can pose a threat?
"Is there any news about Chairman Shen?" the official asked.

In fact, this question also expressed the thoughts of everyone present. If they had a choice, they did not want to cut off the "retreat" of the Dashan Base.

"Unfortunately, no." Liu Jiayi shook her head.

Shen Ge has become the spiritual pillar of the Dashan Base. Most of the survivors of the Dashan Base were rescued by him from the Dajing Shelter.

From Base No. 1 and No. 2 in Dajing, to the military base, and the current "Dashan", without Shen Ge, there would be no Dashan base.

The survivors had already become the strange's meal when the No. 3 defense line was lost. Not to mention that Shen Ge overthrew the New God Church and the Old Parliament by himself and found the "relics of the gods" in another world - the Ark.

Shen Ge is the backbone of the Dashan Base and the Joint Base. Even the defense elites and legion commanders with outstanding military achievements would praise Shen Ge for three days and three nights as long as they mention him.

In their hearts, Shen Ge is an omnipotent being, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "God" of all survivors.

However, now the "God" of the survivors has disappeared. Faced with countless strange humanoid attacks, the survivors are helpless and have no idea how to deal with it.

"Is there no...other...way?" The official was still making his last struggle.

Liu Jiayi just looked at him without saying anything, as if asking if there was a need to hold this meeting today if there were other ways?
The official sat back in his chair dejectedly, his eyes empty and lifeless, and murmured, "It seems... this is the only way."

In the end, the proposal to blow up the cave maze to create a chaotic and distorted space was passed, and at the insistence of Liu Jiayi as the "acting speaker", the researchers who came from the "reality" to support the mountain base were arranged into the safe house, as well as the children under ten years old in the base.

Those officials who wanted to sneak into the safe house and even go so far as to stir up unrest were all controlled by the defense forces sent by Liu Jiayi.

Although everyone will feel fear in the face of disaster, for the sake of justice and the survival of future generations, more people are willing to stand up and protect the younger generations from wind and rain!
boom--

With earth-shaking roars, all the strange energy explosives in the mountain base were placed in the cave maze and detonated, setting off a huge twisted strange energy storm.

The situation in the cave maze was just as Liu Jiayi had imagined. The twisted monster energy turned into a terrifying black hole. The humanoid monsters outside could not get in, and the survivors like them could not get out. This was equivalent to betting all their hopes on the premise that Shen Ge would come back and be able to repair the cave passage.

However, an unexpected situation soon occurred. With the "explosion" of the cave maze, except for the area of ​​the safe room, the "plants" around the base either began to wither rapidly, turning into shriveled, gray things that turned into ashes at the touch, or grew rapidly, becoming several times larger than before.

Although Liu Jiayi had ordered the disposal of poultry and non-human creatures in the base before blowing up the cave maze, at least it ensured that after all the strange energy explosives were used up and the passages were blown up, no strange incidents would occur again inside the Dashan base.

The giant plants in the mountain base are the strange blood vessels and flesh of the seventh level, which does not force the survivors to live a vegan life from now on.

But no matter what, most people still have a certain resistance to the weird flesh and blood. Even after verification by researchers, they are still more or less disgusted.

However, the problem now is that after the cave maze was blown up, the plants inside began to decay and grow strangely. Will the strange energy erosion contained in them have an impact on humans?

In addition, the survivors of the mountain base are facing a huge problem. The base was previously built on these huge plants, and many of the buildings are even similar to the "tree houses" in Western elven culture. The decline and growth of the plants have had a huge impact on many buildings.

The impact of the cave maze after the explosion far exceeded Liu Jiayi's expectations. He originally thought that it only blocked the "necessary path" for the humanoid monster to attack, but he didn't expect that the strange energy impact produced by the strange energy explosives would actually affect the strange energy of the "mountain".

In this way, he originally wanted to stop the attack of the strange humanoid creatures, but he didn't expect to build a coffin for burying humans with his own hands.

Liu Jiayi looked at the giant plant that was growing rapidly and rushing towards the "sky" and the defeated plant that was withering into ashes on the other side, and murmured: "Will we... still be able to get out one day?"

……

……

……

"ten years?"

Facing Shen Ge's surprise, Hou Pu still maintained the stable voice of an intelligent machine and said, "Yes, Master, you have been away for ten years. And in the first year of your absence, the transmission device had problems. After the Creator and I tested and processed it, we still cannot contact the Dashan Base."

How could Shen Ge not understand after hearing this? Obviously, Shen Lin's deployment target for him was "Dashan". Judging from the fact that the transmission device was cut off, the situation of "Dashan" was not optimistic.

Shen Ge rushed to the captain's room without stopping. As the connection between the Ark and "Dashan" was forcibly cut off, Jingjing, who was originally Liu Jiayi's "assistant", had grown into an independent person in the past ten years. After the transmission device was cut off, she served as the acting speaker of the Ark and cooperated with the creator to manage the survivors.

The survivors of the Ark were all migrated from the mountain base. At first, they were mainly technicians and researchers, with a total number of about 3,000 people.

After Liu Jiayi encountered the first strange tide at the Dashan Base, he carried out a large-scale migration. However, since most of the survivors were unwilling to leave the Dashan Base they had created and go to live in an "Ark" created by some alien civilization, the number of responders was less than 10%, which was about 7,000 people.

In addition to the development over the past decade, Ark has gradually gained popularity, with the number of members remaining at just over 10,000, and everything is in good order under the management of Jingjing and the creator.

Jingjing is good at management, but Anan's personality is obviously not suitable for this, so she joined the Ark Breeding Center to cultivate vegetables, fruits, and edible weird meat.

The survivors on the Ark have been indoctrinated by the "Creator"'s thoughts and have begun to regard the weird things as new species of "animals", and have long been accustomed to eating their flesh and blood.

Moreover, over the years, there has been no phenomenon of human alienation caused by the use of strange flesh and blood. People eat strange flesh and blood, and then use their skin and bones to make handy tools. It can be said that strangeness has been completely integrated into human life in the Ark. The Ark people have even begun to actively "cultivate" low-level strangeness.

After Jingjing and An'an learned the news of Shen Ge's "return", they couldn't wait to drop their work and rush back to the captain's room. When they saw Shen Ge standing on the bridge and listening to the video of Ark's development this year played by the rear servant, they rushed over excitedly.

"Owner!"

"You are finally back!" (End of this chapter)
