Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 524 523. Now that things have come to this, who would understand you?

Unable to distinguish the gap between night and day, the group of people who set foot on this land were already deep in darkness and could only rely on the clock to confirm the time.

Thunder rumbled slowly from the distant sky, but the sound was not thunder or geological changes.

It was just that fierce air-to-ground and ground-to-air battles were taking place in the distance, and there were also some air-to-air weapons that were not usually used.

These have nothing to do with the mobile base that has been sailing in silence, refusing all external communications, and disguising its own signal to other places.

Seifer sat in his seat, thinking and considering seriously the next itinerary - now it was a slight detour, but there was no reconnaissance team ahead to provide early warning.

So every step was explored in the dark, and in order to prevent anything from noticing the car, not to mention turning on the lights, even the act of launching reconnaissance aircraft was stopped.

In this situation, Tien could only drive while cursing.

Seeing how distressed she was, Seifer took a look at the current environment and said, "Forget it. I'll sacrifice some of my rest time to clear the way for you. Remember to accept the one-way communication I send you and follow me."

"Why, do you have any special ideas?"

Of course there is.

Without standing up, Cypher switched into the machine. The weapons mounted on the back of this machine, which had become more bloated than before, looked bulky and huge.

Needless to say, its quality will affect the machine's maximum speed and dodge ability... but considering its power, it's worth it.

Wei Erwei and several of her juniors were lying on the simple table beside them, looking rather tired. The floor was littered with tools, oily rags, and so on.

After thanking them for their efforts, Cypher opened the thick cover of the hangar, drove the machine out of the workstation, and randomly chose an opportunity to jump out of the stable mobile base with only slight shaking and creaking sounds.

The tracks retracted at high speed, caught up with the moving mobile base, then easily surpassed it and advanced on the rugged plain. In a few minutes, the huge vehicle body was reduced to just a tiny dot.

Mapping and clearing the way at this distance, Cypher drove ahead in silence - but a few hours later, he suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that there was any huge warship approaching him, nor was the road ahead blocked.

It’s just that what appears before my eyes is a little incredible.

In the pitch-black polar region, where only the sky could glimpse a little bit of sunlight, another color appeared besides the rocks and grayish-white sand where even a hundred meters away could not be seen clearly.

Theoretically, vision energy is a bunch of things with hazy edges, light blue or other colors of strange light, but when it causes a qualitative change, it will be a little different.

This will create a bunch of colors that are hard to describe in words. The brain will tell people that "there are colors here," but in fact they are difficult to describe.

This feeling is difficult to describe because the brain processes it into a recognizable color, but it itself does not exist in that color range.

Let me give you an example to make it clear. The color called "magenta", which is often used in cyberpunk fantasy works, does not exist in nature and cannot be recognized by the brain, so it is a color created by the brain.

The energy of the vision is in this situation now. Sefer doesn't know what it looks like to others, but in his eyes, it appears to be bright and colorful.

——occupies the entire field of vision.

The vehicle behind was still moving slowly. Seifer glanced at the other side, which was also boundless, with a strange energy that was slowly floating and wriggling like clouds.

They were huge and silent, seemingly devoid of any possible space for visions, yet this thing had grown to this size...

Even so, they still hadn't reached that coordinate point, and after making a rough estimate of how big a 'gate' would need to be built to contain such a huge amount of vision energy, Seifer tried to grin.

If the company could create a massive portal in space that could see the entire planet, it could potentially contain about half of the anomaly's energy. Given the magnitude of the threat, it would be best to have the Transformation Agency find a way to release it directly into space, solving the problem once and for all.

While he was thinking about this, the vehicle behind him was gradually approaching.

Suddenly he raised his hand and sent out the ejection aircraft that he had placed on his arm when he came out. Seifer watched them crash into the thin energy of the strange phenomenon, waited for a moment, and sent a safety signal to the rear.

Then he took the lead and headed directly towards the strange energy.

The behemoth before him gradually became unnoticeable, and it was not until the energy readings increased that Cypher felt that he had entered the dissipated energy.

The surrounding environment was no different from before. The ground was still rocky, and the sky above was still pitch black. Occasionally, wisps of strange energy could be seen passing by, like fog or an illusion.

The mobile base also entered its coverage area, but it was a pity that it couldn't contact the car now - if it could, Miss Nana would probably be the first to jump up.

Then he shouted, "How beautiful! Can I go out and see it, and touch it with my own hands!" and looked at Seifer with longing eyes.

This quiet journey did not last long. After only half an hour, a rustling sound was heard from the communicator, and then a voice suddenly came out.

"Mercenary, your actions are admirable, and your courage is moving, but your choice is truly disappointing."

Discovered?

Cypher remained silent. The communication continued, "You can still advance, but the extreme range is limited. Retreating now is a possible solution."

So you didn't find out at all - then why did you contact me in advance?

"As the integrated system that allows all of humanity to continue to exist, analysis indicates that you are the independent mercenary Red Crossbow."

"Before you decide to reach the Pole and carry out sabotage, you must first understand the consequences of your actions."

It was rare for the mercenary system to speak so much on its own initiative - but Seifer didn't slow down at all, and continued to advance at his own pace, leading the way behind.

It said that once the vision energy gets completely out of control, it will sweep across the entire world. At that time, the civilizations, people, and even those seemingly indestructible creations built on this world will fall into unknowable chaos.

The threat of the anomaly outbreak is so great that no one can escape it, and it is even possible that the entire planet will be engulfed.

What would happen if it was abandoned in some strange star field and destroyed?

The energy of the vision is extremely dangerous and must be treated with caution. The world within the vision has been revealed, and the consequences of clinging to luck will be.

...Wait a minute, didn't the guy in the vision simply have bad luck and ended up being frozen in the stellar gas?
The mercenary system didn't care if anyone was listening. It just calmly stated another thing that Cypher had observed but never saw again.

The world in the alien space had also conducted research on alien energy - the result was that they had two moons.

But the two moons were unlucky. They overlapped and collapsed instantly, completely destroying most of the earth's surface...

It sounded like something out of a novel, but Sefer had seen that scene with his own eyes.

Even so, the mercenary system's words may not be trustworthy.

It's better to say that everyone has their own reasons, and the mercenary system offers choices that are unacceptable to the company as a human being.
