After his death, his body was affected by the divine seal and became a corpse variant. However, the hibernation pod could isolate the corpse variant's senses. Because it could not sense the presence of living people, the corpse variant remained seated there, gradually losing its vitality.
As the last scene finished playing, ASH also ended his narration.
How do we leave this spaceship?
Jiang Liu asked again.
"Based on the analysis of existing data, the root of everything lies in the divine seal. Perhaps only by confronting the divine seal can we find a way to leave."
ASH provided an ambiguous answer.
Jiang Liu remained noncommittal, then said to the five, "It seems we really have to confront that divine seal directly. Those mutated corpses surrounding it might still be alive—"
They can regenerate and recombine, but they are ultimately carbon-based organisms and not truly immortal. Theoretically, as long as their cells are destroyed, they can be completely killed.
Even higher-dimensional beings must abide by the laws of our universe when entering a three-dimensional universe.
Red Girl analyzed, "To conserve energy, it's best to use the weapons inside this spaceship for combat. ASH, where is the weapon depot on this spaceship?"
"The weapons storage compartment is located on the left side of the waiting hall."
ASH replied.
"Walk."
At Jiang Liu's command, the five of them immediately followed and headed to the elevator on the left side of the waiting hall.
With ASH control, the elevator doors open directly without requiring any permissions.
enter.
The elevator doors closed.
decline.
The elevator doors opened.
Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a platform resembling a subway waiting station, with a ten-meter-long carriage suspended on a railway track.
Buzz!
The large door on the left side of the waiting hall slowly opened, revealing the high-tech equipment inside.
It has electromagnetic sniper rifles, plasma pistols, plasma cutting devices, explosive grenades, incendiary bombs, and flamethrowers.
Bai Yuekui shouldered the electromagnetic sniper rifle, Hong Guniang picked up the plasma pistol, Lu Jin hung the plasma cutting device on his waist, and loaded all the incendiary bombs and explosive grenades into his Ghost Sphere. Zhang Zhiwei and Mark each picked up a flamethrower, while the excess fuel canisters and other weapons were all stored in Hong Guniang's storage ring.
Jiang Liu cultivated the Golden Core of body and mind and the Sacred Embryo of Qi, thus possessing a human body that could encompass the entire universe and store items, making him no longer need the storage ring.
Therefore.
After reuniting with Hong Guniang and the others, Jiang Liu only took back the Hetu Luoshu and gave the storage ring to Hong Guniang.
"It's so convenient to have a storage ring!"
Zhang Zhiwei, however, was envious and tried to negotiate with Jiang Liu, "Could you give me a storage ring?"
"That's all, just one left."
Jiang Liu slapped Zhang Zhiwei's hand away and said speechlessly, "If you want storage equipment, forge it yourself. Don't tell me that there's no weapon forging in the Celestial Master's Mansion's heritage."
"That's too much trouble."
Zhang Zhiwei said that they had no guns or cannons, and the enemy... cough cough, they borrowed them from a friend. "We're like brothers, aren't we? I've been following you around, what's wrong with giving me a gift?"
"As a Taoist priest, you should abandon worldly views."
Jiang Liu spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Nonsense! I'm not a Taoist priest anymore! In fact, I live a secular life now!"
Zhang Zhiwei, however, argued his case forcefully.
This banter was naturally intended to prevent Ash from judging their actions, but Ash also had his own plan—
He.
We need to contact Jiang Liu!
Stern deck.
Employee work pods.
The breathing lights inside the four hibernation pods suddenly stopped, and with a slight vibration, the pod covers made of high-strength transparent composite material slowly opened...
Chapter 1266 Survivors on the Lalaye
"Zack."
"Benjamin."
Vincent.
"Elisa".
The four people who had awakened from their hibernation pods met and headed to the dining area.
The dining room was filled with metal and dust, and the lighting came from cheap industrial lamps. Yellow was the dominant color here—yellow sofas, yellow warning lines, yellow lights, yellow displays, and so on.
All the furnishings had unusually smooth surfaces; they were all wrinkled from repeated rubbing and even bore traces of blood.
Fortunately, the necromancy infects living people through a special "venom," and its blood and tissues do not cause mutations when they come into contact with living people.
After the four sat down and ate their oatmeal soup, Elisa patted the dust off the sofa and asked with some confusion, "Why is there dust inside the spaceship?"
"Who knows?"
Vincent said nonchalantly, "Ever since we found that divine seal, not only have the corpses mutated, but the spaceship has also been sealed off... I wonder how Captain Isaac is doing."
Benjamin took a sip of his oatmeal and got to the crucial point, saying, "Why were only the four of us awake?"
All the survivors on the Lalaye had the same hibernation time, but they were the only ones who woke up early, and after inspection, their hibernation pods were found to be without any problems.
"Perhaps a meteoroid struck the outer wall of the spacecraft, and the resulting vibration caused a change in our hibernation pod program?"
Zack voiced a guess, then shouted at the screen next to the dining table, "Mothership, report the situation!"
The "mothership" is the artificial intelligence of this Lalaya.
"Vice Commander, it's a pleasure to serve you."
The screen was covered in blue, and lines of text symbols from the Jerejad appeared: "The spaceship has returned to Earth's near-Earth space. Due to unknown factors, the flight control deck was opened for a period of time, and outsiders broke into the Jerejad. Their target is the Divine Seal."
"Hmph! Hela is truly greedy! Gene is a wolfhound too! And Heluo, he's not as righteous as he appears on the surface!"
Zach angrily cursed all three major regimes except Jehrab, and then complained, "They have no idea how dangerous that thing is!"
However, the moment Zack referred to the Divine Seal as "that thing," Benjamin's eyes flashed with a cold, venomous glint, but it vanished in an instant.
But Vincent noticed it, though he didn't think much of it.
Benjamin was a fanatical follower of the Unity Church.
"Mothership, can you contact Jeholim?"
Zach asked.
Sorry, we are unable to reach you.
The appearance of this line on the screen extinguished most of the hope that had arisen in everyone's hearts.
"Don't be so discouraged. The divine seal completely isolates the spaceship's interior from the outside world, but it shouldn't be able to affect the spaceship's systems. That's not an intelligent life form, but a large lump of bismuth."
That being said, Alyssa wasn't very optimistic, because she was the spaceship's chief safety officer and also a doctor. At the beginning of the corpse mutation, she had conducted some research and made a private speculation about the logic and behavior of the Divine Seal—
A materialized gene of a higher-dimensional organism.
The electromagnetic signals it releases influence the thoughts of living people, deeply embedding the concept of "unity" in their minds, and releasing messages of infinite energy, prompting humanity to begin replicating it...
Once the number of clones reaches a certain level, they will cause mutations in the cells of the deceased, forming a necromancy-like entity that will then attack all other normal living beings...
Afterwards, the necromancy will gather around the Divine Seal and its replicas, merging together to form a planetary "Blood Moon" by combining with the planet's rock layers.
In Elisa's eyes, it was just a bacterium!
Planetary-level bacteria!
During the aggregation of the corpse variant, the divine seal becomes the gene of the bacteria! Only a planetary-level scale can allow this special "gene" received by the double helix of the divine seal to truly unfold and be expressed!
of course.
That could also be a planet-sized "cancer cell".
The encounters of alien civilizations on the planet Ta-Frantis are the best proof of this!
But these speculations cannot be spoken aloud.
After all, they were Jehrab people who believed in "unity," and if she spoke out rashly, Benjamin, the most fanatical of the believers, might launch a vicious revenge against her.
Elisa even suspected that their awakening this time was orchestrated by the Divine Seal, with the aim of luring more humans onto the Larye...
Do not!
wrong!
It should be to guide outsiders to bring it back to Earth!
therefore--
"Are we really going to bring the Divine Seal back to Earth?"
Even at the risk of being targeted by Benjamin, Alyssa still raised this question, "Also, on Tower Frantis, the freezing device those aliens used to prevent the Blood Moon from rising was destroyed because we retrieved the red divine seal, and the Blood Moon has already risen..."
Do you think they might be secretly following us back to Earth?
Upon hearing about the blood moon, the atmosphere fell silent.
“We need to find the intruders and try to persuade them,” Zack broke the silence, then looked at Benjamin. “What do you say?”
"Deputy Commander, are you doubting me?"
Benjamin frowned, furious. "After what happened, do you think I would still believe in the so-called Unification Church?"
My idea of 'unity' is that under Jehrab's leadership, people all over the world unite together!
Instead of turning into a zombie like in the Resident Evil movies!
