"Listen, I, I don't know who you are, but please, pass on the information and notify everyone who is still alive to retreat to Huaibei Province in the north..."

"A second line of defense has already been established there. The country has assembled a large number of qualified warriors to resist the invasion of the Black Tide."

"You, you are also a qualified person..."

The soldier reached into his pocket, tremblingly took out a USB flash drive, and threw it at Xiaoxiang's feet with all his strength.

"I can only hope that you're not some crazy lunatic partying at the end of the world. If the official investigation team hasn't collapsed, please, please hand this information over to them."

"After I die, please burn my body..."

"I hope you can live."

"May the flame of humanity continue to burn brightly, and may the sacrifices be remembered forever..."

Before he could finish the word "decay", the soldier breathed his last.

Shen Qiyin didn't know what was on the other person's body. That thing covered his life characteristics. She could only sense his presence at such a close distance.

But from the other party's performance, it can be seen that that thing must not be touched at close range!

Is it some kind of contagious virus?

Black tide...what exactly is that thing?

“Sizzle, sizzle…”

Suddenly, Xiaoxiang's circuit system flickered rapidly several times, as if interfered with by some substance.

Shen Qinyin looked at her suddenly. She just stood there with her head tilted, seemingly unaware of anything wrong with her.

The Perceptual Web is unaware of the threat of cognitive pollution...

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoxiang looked puzzled. "You don't look well. Do you need me to check you out?"

While speaking, Xiaoxiang took two steps towards where Shen Qinyin was.

It was these two steps that brought the distance between her and Shen Qinyin to within five meters.

Almost instantly, a strong feeling of uneasiness and palpitations made Shen Qinyin's heart jump suddenly!

Before her brain could even react, her body had already instinctively taken out the Exorcist Auspicious Pattern Jade.

"Om!!"

A dazzling holy light suddenly burst forth, and within the previously empty cargo hold, a vast amount of black matter, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly emerged!

This substance was like a foggy, granular haze, immersing the cargo hold where the soldiers were in a sticky black ocean.

The shelves and surfaces of ships covered with this black substance began to ooze out black slurry mixed with metal substances.

As the Exorcist Auspicious Pattern Jade burst out with light, the black substance that was originally infiltrating towards Shen Qinyin and the others immediately stopped moving as if blocked by a wall.

But, it just stopped moving.

They haven't disappeared...

No, or rather, it disappears extremely slowly!

This shows that the suppressing effect of the Exorcist Auspicious Pattern Jade on it is very limited!

Chapter 65 Black Tide!! Xiaoxiang is damaged!

What the hell is this thing? Is it a physical entity? Or is it a "supernatural disaster" like the smog?!

Shen Qiyin no longer had time to think about this problem, because she saw an even more terrifying scene -

I saw that Xiaoxiang's "hair" that was flowing like a rainbow also had a small, almost imperceptible black spot.

Her lighting system began to flash more and more rapidly, but she still failed to realize the threat posed by the substance!

"Master, my system seems to have some unknown malfunction..."

Xiaoxiang's voice began to show obvious electric currents and stuttering, mixed with the noise of metal scraping, as if something had interfered with her electromagnetic field, making all her movements stiff.

She took a trembling step forward, and the next second, her right leg, which had been intact, was "broken" for no reason!

As if dissolved by highly corrosive acidic chemicals, her right leg fell off directly, and the part where the broken leg was connected to the body was filled with black matter that was surging like haze and was wriggling and swimming at the fracture.

This is because of the suppression of the Exorcist Auspicious Jade, which prevented them from further dissolving other parts of Xiaoxiang!

Shen Qinyin directly threw the Exorcist Jade out, and then decisively took out a watch that she had prepared in advance.

As the red words [Desire Stone-100] appeared in her mind, this watch was upgraded to the brass pocket watch she had used to deal with the "lurker" before!

"Back off!"

Shen Qinyin roared in anger, and the moment the brass pocket watch popped open, it suddenly emitted a dazzling and strange light!

The precision gears on the dial were spinning frantically at a speed that defied common sense. The rust seeping out of the brass case looked like coagulated blood, and the gaps between the gears made sharp, piercing "clicking" sounds.

Under the impact of the mysterious power released by the pocket watch, the black substance like thick ink seemed to have life and began to twist and struggle violently.

“Click—!”

The minute hand suddenly jumped counterclockwise, and a strange sound like a film rewinding was heard in the cargo hold. The black slurry seeping from the shelves began to flow back, and the rust on the metal surface disappeared like the tide!

At Xiaoxiang's broken leg, the black substance seemed to be pulled by some powerful suction force, peeling off from the broken leg in a creepy wriggling manner.

At the same time, a certain stench and pungent smell, mixed with the heavy atmosphere of ancient decay, spread out, as if it was the shadow of death leaking out from the cracks in the abyss!

When all the gears of the pocket watch stopped turning, all the pollutants quietly dissipated, as if the time and space of the cargo hold had returned to the state before the soldier died.

Xiaoxiang fell to the ground with a "thump". Although the unknown black substance had been expelled, the impact it caused still existed.

"Xiao Xiang! How are you?!"

Shen Qiyin quickly floated to Xiaoxiang's side. She subconsciously wanted to lift his upper body, but failed after two attempts. Then she remembered that Xiaoxiang was an automatic humanoid soldier weighing hundreds of pounds.

"Assessing the damage to the body..."

Xiaoxiang spoke in a halting manner, his golden pupils moving slowly, as if to express that his CPU was running at high speed.

"Assessment concluded. Damage to the aircraft is 47%. The right leg power system is completely paralyzed. The weapon system is partially malfunctioning. The electric knife energy output is unstable. The sensor module is experiencing severe interference, and the signal strength is weak..."

Conclusion: The processor is unable to fully control all components of my body. I have lost control of myself and need repair. Estimated repair time: 30 minutes.

"Fix it as soon as possible, I'll buy you some time!!"

Shen Qiyin used her telekinesis to grab the USB flash drive thrown by the soldier out of thin air. After confirming that the brass pocket watch had dispelled all threats, she dared to take the USB flash drive back and put it in her pocket.

"Received, received."

After Xiaoxiang said this, he fell into a deathly silence. Shen Qiyin could hear the humming sounds of various devices running inside her body. It should be the repair system that was working.

Kuroshio Current...

Is that thing just now the "black tide" that the driver mentioned?

It is not only cognitive pollution, it can also physically erode various substances, and it is even very likely to be latent and contagious, just like a virus!

Corpse...

His body must be burned!

Although the brass pocket watch has completely eliminated the threat, this is the first time Shen Qinyin has come into contact with this thing. Who knows if the Black Tide has the characteristics of "faked death" and "resurrection". It is better to burn the corpse according to the other party's statement.

Fire, I need fire!

Shen Qinyin looked around, searching for a device that could ignite a fire.

Since flames are needed to burn the body, lighters and other items must be found nearby.

The soldier might have the drug on him, so we can use telekinesis to search for it remotely and avoid direct contact with him.

Although doing so may be somewhat unfair to the deceased, this is a serious matter and now is not the time to worry about those complicated etiquettes.

Just as Shen Qinyin made up her mind and prepared to take action, a strange "boom boom boom" sound suddenly came.

She immediately held her breath and listened carefully to the source of the sound——

It's outside!

It sounds like a propeller turning!

Currently, the only official departments in Yunlan City that can use helicopters are those in the government. I think it must be Lin Qiutang who brought people here!

After all, such a big thing happened, it is impossible for the official departments not to know about it. Not to mention them, there may be some hidden survivor organizations on the way.

"Qiyin! Shen Qiyin! Are you in there?!"

Lin Qiutang didn't care that the helicopter was still flying in the air. She jumped out of the helicopter directly. The moment her body was about to fall to the ground, she deployed a telekinetic force field and used telekinesis to push herself forward. She flew out of the transport plane door like a cannonball.

She saw signs of human damage on the hatch and immediately concluded that this was the work of the "robot" created by Shen Qiyin.

Shen Qiyin did not respond immediately, as she was worried that this was an illusion created by the Girl in the Rain.

While there's currently no evidence that the Rain Girl can create hallucinations without being cognitively contaminated, it's always better to be cautious.

She carefully groped her way to the hatch, sending out her sensory network at full power. After confirming that there was indeed a living being outside, she slowly poked her head out.

"Sister, I'm here!"

"Are you OK?!"

Lin Qiutang quickly leaned over and flew towards her, stopping in front of Shen Qinyin.

She pinched the other person's cheek in a panic, checked up and down to see if he had any wounds, and only after confirming that he was really okay did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're too impulsive. You should have handed over such a dangerous exploration mission to us. If anything happened to you, how would I explain it to my deceased sister and brother-in-law..."

"Sorry, I won't do that next time."

Shen Qinyin smiled gently, but she was thinking in her heart: Fortunately, the plane crashed on my side, allowing me to get ahead of others. Otherwise, if the investigation team came, they would definitely not be able to deal with something as strange as the "Black Tide"!

If Lin Qiutang died because of this, she would never be able to forgive herself.

Chapter 66: Order Gang? Here comes the one with super powers!

"Sister, now is not the time to worry about me, we have to burn the plane quickly!"

"Okay! I'll prepare the fuel and detonator now!"

Lin Qiutang had no doubts about Shen Qinyin's words that she would burn an entire military transport plane at any time, and did not even ask her reason.

As for why Shen Qinyin decided to burn the entire plane, it was because after witnessing the horror of the "Black Tide", she realized that only by doing so could she avoid the possibility that there was still a "Black Tide" on the plane that she had not discovered!

The helicopter circled above the military aircraft, and four fully armed special agents from the investigation team descended by ropes, each carrying fuel and detonators, and entered the cargo hold under the command and protection of Shen Qinyin and Lin Qiutang.

By simply detonating the plane's fuel tank, the entire plane should be able to ignite.

The crashed transport plane was a medium-sized, medium-range strategic transport plane. Although it was not the most advanced transport plane in the country, its value was at least 600 to 700 million yuan.

Although these special service personnel carried out the burning order faithfully, it would be a lie to say that they did not feel sad. If such a good transport plane could be repaired, it would definitely be of greater value.

However, they also knew that in such an environment, let alone repairing a medium-sized strategic transport aircraft, even a malfunction of an ordinary helicopter would be enough to cause them great trouble.

Without a factory production line and large-scale maintenance equipment, it is impossible to complete the repair work on the strategic transport aircraft relying solely on the remaining personnel.

In fact, Shen Qiyin had considered using the power of the laptop to repair the plane.

But she didn't dare to gamble. The threat posed by the black tide was too great. Even her "insight" ability could only sense it when the other party was only a few meters away from her!

Shen Qiyin was not sure whether the upgraded aircraft could drive away the undetected black tide.

What's more, if this aircraft wants to be upgraded to a "heavy strategic transport aircraft", it will cost 500 Desire Stones.

Shen Qinyin did not have so many Desire Stones. The Exorcist Jade and Brass Pocket Watch just now cost her 120 Desire Stones. Moreover, when she dispelled the black tide, she did not get the Fear Core fragments back like when she dispelled the entity.

This thing is pure consumption. No matter how "rich" you are, you can't afford to spend it this much, not to mention that Shen Qinyin is "poor".

A few minutes later, the Secret Service completed the placement of the detonator.

Under Lin Qiutang's command, they withdrew to the helicopters hovering overhead, ready to evacuate at any time.

Shen Qiyin has been paying attention to the conditions of these team members. Although she and Lin Qiutang have protected them from the rain, it is best to pay attention at all times to avoid other accidents.

At present, it seems that the mental state of these players is still normal.

After confirming the conditions of the others, Shen Qiyin turned her attention to Xiaoxiang who was recovering from the illness.

This "girl" is really too heavy, weighing several hundred pounds, and it is very difficult to move her by relying on her own telekinesis.

Fortunately, the villa is not too far from this place. With Lin Qiutang's help, it shouldn't be a problem.
