Chapter 2045 Confrontation
Dark as night, quiet as silence.
The pale mist came from all directions, turning the trees into black. At a glance, it seemed that the world was only black and white.
The left and right sides were covered with dead branches and leaves, covering the thick mud and stagnant water. A sour smell came out from the gaps in the branches and leaves, filling the world and lingering around the three of them. , which makes people frown.
Yomimura Liang pinched his nose and followed step by step, but his eyes scanned the surroundings a little uneasily. It was too dark, just like before the storm came, there was a thick mist in the forest, and It was extremely quiet, and apart from their footsteps, there was no other sound, which made people feel even more uneasy.
"This place is so dark."
Asuka Xin, who was walking at the back, looked around all the way, but after walking for so long, there was no light at all. It was dark and white all the way. The fog greatly hindered the line of sight, making it impossible to see very far away.
If the surrounding trees hadn't receded as they advanced, and there were only fog and swamps, it would have given people the illusion of standing still.
But compared to the rising mist in the forest, what is more disturbing is the disappearance of the light.
When I was flying in the sky, it was still bright, and the blue sky and white clouds were so beautiful, but now, it is eerie and thick with fog. If it is paired with a BGM, the rhythm of the weirdness will appear. ah.
Walking in such an environment, not to mention Yumimura Ryo, even Asuka Shin felt terrified.
But I still don’t understand why the brightness is so different at just one hundred meters away.
The upper part is bright and the lower part is gloomy. They are two different worlds.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Asuka Shin simply stretched his neck and shouted: "Captain, how far is it?"
"I don't know!"
Chiba Makoto, who was walking at the front, was also observing his surroundings. The dark trees, the gloomy white mist, and the ever-extending road beneath his feet were like sharp swords, splitting open the seemingly endless swamp. , divided into left and right sides.
Along the way, Chiba Cheng was counting silently. They were moving very fast. They could walk about a hundred meters in one minute. After walking for seven or eight minutes, they had already walked nearly a thousand meters. .
However, there are no significant changes in the surroundings. There are still swamps and woods. The most strange thing is the thick fog. Applying light to the eyes briefly achieves the effect of Ultra Eyes, but you cannot see through the thick fog. .
This alone is enough to prove that this is by no means an ordinary place.
However, Chiba Makoto hasn’t found any abnormalities yet. It’s like smelling a bad smell and knowing that something is broken, but you still need to find out what is broken before you can trace the source and figure out what is the problem. What causes things to spoil.
Walking and looking, taking samples and observing all the way, those who didn't know better thought it was a scientific investigation.
But this calmness did not last forever, because the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility became lower and lower. At the beginning, it was just like dusk, and as I walked, it gradually turned into It was darkness before the storm, but now it was no different from night. No one could be seen just a few steps away, so the three of them all took out their tactical flashlights and turned on the lights that came with their helmets.
Every beam of light illuminates a vast expanse of white. The fog has shrunk from tens of meters to a few meters. It can be said that it is very close at hand.
"Captain, something is not right."
Asuka Shin's hand had already stretched out, and he subconsciously touched the Brest pistol, but hesitated for a moment, and then moved aside He moved and touched the transformer placed on his lower back, but after a pause, he still didn't take it. Instead, he pulled out the Brest pistol and held it in his hand, ready for any eventuality. .
Not only him, but Yumimura Ryo also held the Brest pistol in his hand. He looked at the approaching fog with vigilance and swallowed nervously. The fog was rolling and surging, just like the torrential flood. People feel like something is about to rush out from inside at any time.
"The fog has become thicker." Chiba Cheng frowned and stood in front of the two of them. Then he touched his right hand to his waist and pulled out an Ultra Dimension card box hanging on his belt. A green wind element card swiped through the card slot in the center of the dimensional fighting instrument.
"Wind element, activate!"
Whoop!
A powerful hurricane blew out from the self-luminous Ultra Dimension Card. In the blink of an eye, it formed a tornado, roaring forward and rolling up a large amount of thick fog. Along with the hurricane Rotating, a passage was cut out in the thick fog.
"Let's go!"
Two elemental cards were activated one after another. The energy of the cards was being consumed in seconds. Chiba Makoto did not dare to stop for long. He immediately followed the tornado with Asuka Shin and Yumimura Ryo. Rush forward.
The fog will not become thicker for no reason. There must be a reason. It is either approaching a key location or reaching the edge.
No matter what the situation is, it means that the emergence of clues is much better than continuing to fumble in this fog.
As expected, before running very far this time, changes appeared on both sides. The dead branches and leaves on the ground began to become thinner and fewer, and the exposed ground was no longer mud and water. , and soil and gravel appeared, and from time to time, large and small stones could be seen lying on the ground.
Even the fog was starting to thin.
Obviously, we are about to leave the range of the thick fog.
This made Feiniao Xin and the others very excited. Staying in the dark fog and smelling the damp and putrid smell was really depressing. They really didn't want to stay for a second longer.
"What is this?"
Asuka Xin saw a lot of gray-white vines on the ground, like ivy, growing wildly on the ground, many of them clinging to the rocks. Pale roots sprouted from the main stems, piercing deeply into the soil and rocks, firmly fixing themselves. Even if a tornado passed through, they could not shake these vines.
And such vines and roots grow all over the ground, criss-crossing and weaving into a huge net, spread on the ground, covering a large area, so dense that it almost becomes a grassland. What I saw on the way here The dense trees that arrived suddenly disappeared from the ground just like the vines suddenly appeared on the ground.
If you look to both sides, you can see that there is a clear dividing line between the vines and the forest. There are dense vines in the front and tall trees in the back.
"It's really strange."
Yomimura Ryoya saw something strange about the vines under his feet. They looked like they were roots, but if you look closely at the source, it's like It can be found that these vines actually grow together, which means that this large vine is probably one individual. "These things look a bit familiar." Chiba Cheng put away the two element cards that had consumed most of his energy, stopped running, squatted down, and carefully observed these vines as thick as forearms. They looked a few It looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.
After a little thought, I pulled out a monster from my memory: Gordis!
In the blown-to-piece Mikalite planet and the superimposed earth world, the Gordis encountered pierced themselves into the core of the planet, and then used vine-like tentacles to grow all over the planet. Every corner of the planet, thereby sucking the energy of the planet with maximum efficiency, until one planet is sucked dry, and then flies to the next living planet, continuing to repeat its journey of destruction.
The tentacles of Gordis encountered these two times were all in the shape of vines, very similar to the vines in front of them.
Is it possible that there is a Godis on this planet?
While Chiba Cheng was frowning, thinking and reminiscing, Asuka Shin had made a new discovery. Beside a stone not far away, he saw several vines intertwined together, forming an upper and lower structure. A small umbrella-shaped secretion of liquid wraps these vines, just like amber.
This was a strange appearance that Asuka Shin had never seen before, let alone heard of. He immediately approached it curiously, wanting to take a closer look at what it was and why it had such a strange appearance.
But just when Feiniaoxin was about to get closer, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Don't touch it, stay away from it."
The sudden sound frightened Feiniaoxin. jumped, and immediately turned to look at the voice In the direction from which they came, I saw a man running out of breath in the mist. Asukaxin took a closer look and immediately shouted: "Senior Xincheng!"
The person who came was none other than Luo Mu, who had been missing for a long time. Captain Xincheng of Si No. 3.
But the new city that appeared in front of Asuka Shin looked a little embarrassed.
Not only was his face dirty, but he was also unshaven, looking like someone in a wild grass field. His clothes were in tatters and had many cuts. On Earth, he would probably be a beggar.
Xincheng looked up and down, looking at Asuka Xin carefully to make sure that the other party had not encountered this strange vine combination, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I didn't encounter it, if I didn't encounter it, then Okay.”
“Uh, Senior Xincheng, do you know what this is?”
Before Xincheng could answer, Chiba Cheng walked over and said, "Xincheng, are you okay?"
Seeing Qianye Cheng, Xincheng's slightly vicissitudes of life suddenly changed. He showed a smile and said: "Chiba, it's great that you are here."
"What happened? How did Lomus 3 get here?" Chiba Cheng immediately asked the question he was most concerned about, that is, how did Lomus 3 get from the orbit of Pluto to this strange planet? On a strange planet.
"It's a long story. We'll talk about it on the way. Now let's get out of here." Xincheng said, urging everyone to leave quickly.
"Is there a problem here?"
Asuka Nobu's question made Yumimura Ryo want to give him a big eye roll. Isn't this obvious? There is no need to ask.
“Let’s go!”
Chiba Cheng followed Xincheng to the front right, and Xincheng was also telling about their experiences.
After completing the survey mission of Pluto, Lomus 3 set out for Eris according to the scheduled plan. However, before reaching the destination, Lomus 3's detector discovered this planet. Planet, after obtaining the consent of the headquarters, Lomus 3 diverted to this new planet, Then.
Chiba Cheng raised his hand to interrupt Xincheng's words, stared into Xincheng's eyes, and said: "Wait a minute, Xincheng, you said the headquarters agrees to you coming here?"
" Yeah, what's wrong?" Xincheng looked at Qianye Cheng with some doubts, not understanding what was wrong with this.
"But the report we received said that Lomus 3 has lost contact a long time ago," Yumimura Ryo clearly remembered that the mission information said, "Lomus 3 is on Pluto." Orbital contact was lost, and communications have not been restored yet. However, Senior Xincheng said that Lomus 3 still contacted the headquarters after leaving Pluto's orbit.
This.
Which one is true?
Who is lying?
Xincheng also got a glimpse of something from their words and expressions, and his expression became serious. He nodded seriously and said: "We have indeed contacted the headquarters, and there are still some left on the spacecraft. There is a video of the communication.”
“.”
Asuka Shin and Yumimura Ryo looked at each other. Asuka Shin scratched his head at these two words and said: "But there was a problem with the Universe Network at that time. How did you communicate with the headquarters without any obstacles?"
Not to mention here, it is in the orbit of Pluto. If you rely on electromagnetic waves, there will be communication delays. It lasted for several hours, and the reason why Lomus 3 lost contact for several hours before reporting was because there was a problem with the cosmic network, which prevented real-time communication and could only communicate through traditional electromagnetic waves. As a result, even this could not achieve communication connection. , only then did the Space Development Agency realize that there was a problem, and then reported it to the headquarters.
"It seems there is something weird here." Qianye Cheng said thoughtfully, and then continued to listen to Xincheng's story.
When they first arrived on this planet, they were shocked when they saw the blue sky, white clouds, green trees and flowing water. They were so frightened that they never expected that in this cold and dark world, a person would appear. A living planet.
Shocked, shocked, but excited.
Because this is a great discovery, subverting humankind's understanding of the universe. Its historical achievements are comparable to the discovery of a new continent during the great voyages, and it is likely to be recorded in the history books.
So Lomus 3 began to prepare to go down for investigation, but just as it was landing, a malfunction suddenly occurred, causing Lomus 3 to fall from the sky.
"You also fell?" Yumimura Ryo's latest thought was that the Victory Condor he was driving suddenly broke down without any warning, and then fell without giving any reaction time. Let Yumimura Ryo's crash record +1.
Previously, Yumimura Ryo thought it was an accident or malfunction, but when Shinjo said this, it seemed that this was not an accident or coincidence, but a deliberate man-made move.
“We checked the spacecraft afterwards and found that the engine received an emergency stop command, which caused the spacecraft to lose power. But everyone was together at the time, and no one had the chance to do so. And what’s the point of doing so? What is it?" Xincheng's face was full of confusion. He still doesn't know or find out who issued this order that may have caused the ship's destruction.
And now I heard that the Victory Condor also encountered the same situation, which gave Xincheng a guess that it was not the people on the ship who did it, but
someone else!
It doesn’t even have to be a human being.
