Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 242 Severely Contaminated Area: Earth

In the secret room.

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen hurriedly asked, "So where is Yi Yuankui now?"

"To Earth."

Li Xiu replied: "After being attacked by the indescribable creature 'turbidity', Yi Yuankui was filled with a large amount of turbid air."

"Those foul air is corroding Yi Yuankui's body almost all the time."

"Although he has reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, he can consume the black mist in his body to resist the erosion of the turbid air."

"But the black mist will eventually run out."

"By then, Yi Yuankui, who has reached the end of his rope, will surely die."

Li Xiu continued.

"So in order to save his life, Yi Yuankui, who had nowhere else to go, followed Deng Bin's advice and took a spaceship from Aldebaran to Earth."

Go there by spaceship?

Xie Shen was puzzled after hearing this: "As I recall, Aldebaran is 65 light years away from the Earth, right?"

"Even if we take a faster-than-light ship, it would take at least several decades to go back and forth."

"Yi Yuankui is a dying man, can he wait that long?"

"No, no, no." Li Xiu corrected Xie Shen and said, "Superluminal spacecraft are all old news."

"Our spacecraft was completely upgraded as early as 6294 AD, about 10 years ago."

Xie Shen has been concentrating on spiritual practice over the years and has hardly ever paid attention to the development of science and technology.

I asked curiously, "How much faster are those upgraded spacecraft than before?"

Li Xiu introduced.

"Today's spaceships are no longer called spaceships, but are collectively called starships."

"No matter how big or small, all of our starships are equipped with space jump modules that can navigate in the subspace."

"also."

"In order to avoid being discovered by the unknown creatures in the subspace during navigation, I also borrowed the techniques of cultivation, formations, and refining equipment to develop a stealth module that can conceal the breath of the crew."

Great.

After hearing this, Xie Shen said happily: "If starships can travel freely in the subspace, doesn't that mean that no matter how big the universe is, we can go wherever we want in the future?"

"It's not that simple." Li Xiu explained to Xie Shen, "The subspace is in chaos. Our starship will need a long time to find the exit if it is sailing in it."

"If the voyage is shorter, that's fine."

"The shorter the flight, the easier it is to find the exit, and the less time it takes to get there."

"Then our starship can find the exit and evacuate in time before the energy is exhausted."

Li Xiu continued.

"But if the voyage is extended, the difficulty of finding the exit will increase exponentially."

"Then our starships may not be able to evacuate from the subspace in time."

"You know."

"The danger level of the subspace is so high."

"Once the starship is trapped in it and its energy is exhausted, the end result will inevitably be the destruction of the ship and the death of all on board."

Li Xiu concluded: "In view of the immaturity of technology, I have issued a strict order to all starships: unless there are special circumstances, all starships must not move more than 1 light year each time when performing space jumps."

reasonable.

After hearing this, Xie Shen asked, "How long does it take to jump a distance of 1 light year?"

"One day." Li Xiu said uncertainly, "If the driver is unlucky and fails to find the exit, it may take two days or even longer."

Every 1-2 days?

Xie Shen calculated based on this: "It is known that the Aldebaran star system is a total of 65 light-years away from the Earth."

"And it takes 1-1 days for a starship to travel 2 light year."

"Then it would take about 2-4 months to travel from Aldebaran to Earth by starship."

Xie Shen commented: "This speed is quite good. After all, it took us 41 years to travel all the way from Earth to Aldebaran."

"Yes." Li Xiu continued the previous topic: "The reason why Deng Bin suggested Yi Yuankui to go to Earth is because there is an entrance to the flesh and blood world in Antarctica on Earth."

"As long as he can enter the world of flesh and blood, Yi Yuankui can be infected with the curse of flesh and blood and save his own life."

“There is really nothing wrong with this idea.”

"only"

At this point, Li Xiu suddenly changed the subject and said, "The current Earth is no less dangerous than the Desolate World."

"So Yi Yuankui had just set foot on the land of Earth, and had not even had time to enter the flesh and blood world, when he encountered an accident."

"So what did he encounter on Earth?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously after hearing this.

"Let me show you two videos," Li Xiu replied. "After watching the videos, you will understand everything."

He just finished speaking.

Xie Shen, who was sitting cross-legged in the secret room, found that he had received a video sent by Li Xiu on his personal terminal.

Xie Shen clicked on the first video numbered '1'.

——The content played in this video was recorded by a starship with a camera in the starry sky not far from the earth.

The Earth in the camera lens is a blue sky, dotted with countless white clouds and occasional green mountains. Except for the occasional space junk that appears in front of the camera, which will ruin this viewing experience.

Looking at the earth from a distance, one can't help but feel a sense of silence and emptiness.

"How about it?"

Xie Shen was watching the video when he heard Li Xiu say to him, "Just from the video, you shouldn't see any problems with the Earth today, right?"

"I really didn't notice it." Xie Shen followed up very cooperatively: "Unknowingly, we have been away from Earth for 50 years."

“I never thought that times have changed.”

"The earth, which was originally covered with flesh and blood, has restored its original appearance without anyone noticing. This can only be called a miracle!"

"But miracles never happen." Li Xiu said pointedly, "Watch the second video again."

? ?
With a hint of confusion, Xie Shen followed his instructions and clicked on the video numbered '2'.

Can see:

In the picture, Yi Yuankui is riding on a small starship, flying towards the earth after detaching from the mothership.

At first everything seemed normal.

But when the starship that Yi Yuankui was riding on entered the atmosphere from the Earth's low-Earth orbit, the entire video suddenly changed its style.

The earth, which was originally blue-green, was suddenly covered with a layer of scarlet flesh and blood, and the entire environment looked like hell.

Scarlet mountains, scarlet rivers, scarlet earth.

Even the scarlet skyscrapers and city streets.

"This"

Seeing this scene, Xie Shen was incredulous and said, "The Earth is actually disguised? Was this done by those unspeakable creatures?"

"Hmm." Li Xiu guessed, "It's probably the work of the indescribable creatures native to Earth, 'Buddha', 'Tao' and 'Wu'. The reason they disguised the Earth is probably to attract unsuspecting humans to settle on Earth."

Good guy!
Xie Shen sighed: "These indescribable creatures are really quite intelligent!"

"That's not the case." Li Xiu denied, "After all, in nature, many animals also know how to use camouflage to catch prey."

"So, we can't conclude from this that the indescribable creatures have a certain level of intelligence."

It is true.

Xie Shen continued to watch the content of the video.

In the screen:
Although Yi Yuankui, who came to Earth on a starship, had realized that something was wrong, there was no turning back for him at this moment.

Not to mention the indescribable creatures native to Earth, which would definitely stop him if he turned around and left.

Even if Yi Yuankui could successfully evacuate the earth, the foul air accumulated in his body could take his life at any time.

Forced into a corner, Yi Yuankui had no choice but to bite the bullet and fly towards the Antarctic continent of the Earth.

along the way.

Using the camera on the small starship, Xie Shen was able to see from the screen:
Tens of thousands of flesh and blood tentacles are growing on the surface of the earth.

Some of them are less than one meter long, but some are as long as a hundred meters, with scarlet tentacles as big as a tall building.

The surface of those giant tentacles has countless branches that look like tree branches.

If you observe more carefully, you will easily find that there are often 1-2 humans with their chests pierced by the forks hanging on these forks.

-

Also.

From the rhythmic rise and fall of those humans' chests, it was not difficult to tell that they seemed to still have a breath left.

This situation caused Xie Shen to feel physically uncomfortable.

He asked Li Xiu: "What is going on?"

"Those tentacles formed of scarlet flesh and blood are most likely derived from the indescribable creature 'Wu'."

"That's not hard to see."

"As for those humans," Xie Shen guessed, "They should be the group of people who were unable to get tickets to leave on the Ark spacecraft, and also failed to upload their consciousness to the cloud server."

“It’s definitely that group of people.”

Li Xiu followed up by saying, “At the beginning, I once ordered these people to commit suicide.”

"When there is a chance in the future, we will find a suitable habitat and then find a way to revive everyone."

"But not everyone will obey my orders obediently."

"There were some people who slipped through the net. They neither left on the Ark spacecraft nor obeyed the order to commit suicide."

“So this gave the unspeakable creature ‘Woo’ an opportunity to take advantage of it.”

"It spawned a large number of scarlet tentacles, which controlled the remaining humans in this group and hung them all on the tips of the giant tentacles."

"These people are trapped on Earth, unable to live or die."

"They have completely become factories for the nameless creatures 'Woo' to exploit human emotions."

Seeing his compatriots suffering, Xie felt compassion.

He tried to ask Li Xiu: "Can all these people be saved? Even if we kill them all, it would be good to help them get rid of their suffering."

"There's no way to save him." Li Xiu said in a cold tone, "Because on Earth today, no living person can get close to him."

"Don't say anything else."

"At least, Yi Yuankui, who has reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, was unable to escape from the Earth unscathed."
