Chapter 189 The eighth evolution!
The dream came as expected.
There is no need to mention the dense cyan color.
In this profound and boundless dream, everything is wrapped in layers of delicate and lingering blue mist, as if the whole world is immersed in a mysterious atmosphere where chaos is beginning to emerge.
This fog is not like the light and misty water vapor in the morning light. It is thicker and more depressed.
Like ink flowing from ancient legends, it is filled with endless stories and fantasies.
The surrounding scene was blurry and hazy, neither mountains nor oceans, nor trees nor clouds. All boundaries became blurred in this blue mist, just like the chaotic state when the heaven and earth were first divided.
Walking in such a dream, every step seems to be stepping on nothingness, feeling both light and heavy. The concepts of time and space lose their meaning here.
In the depths of this chaotic dream, there are occasional flickers of light and shadow, like distant stars flickering in the mist, which attracts people's imagination.
Those light spots are shining with colorful rays of light.
Chen Yun didn't know if it was a lost soul, a faint call deep in his heart, the whisper of the wind, or the whisper of ancient wisdom?
He couldn't tell.
But he understood that this light spot was the embodiment of his future evolution direction.
Choose some kind of light spot.
It means choosing a certain evolutionary direction.
And just like the previous evolution, when he had the idea of choosing a direction.
Dark purple light spots, blue light spots, and green light spots came one after another, all actively wanting him to touch their brilliance.
Chen Yun was vaguely aware.
Obviously, this is the system recommended outfit.
These three are the evolutionary directions that the body instinctively chooses and wants it to choose.
To be honest, it makes no difference what you choose.
I don’t know what changes will happen after I choose a certain one, and what new abilities I will have.
But when he thought about the last time he wanted to choose gold, but was blinded by a dark purple dot of light that spread its light without any morals, Chen Yun became slightly concerned.
Can’t I really make my own choice?
What if I choose golden light spots?
An idea flashed through his mind.
Double-choice really doesn't work. It's greedy and will bring bad consequences.
But this time he just wanted to choose the gold color he liked. Is it wrong?
Think so.
Chen Yun took advantage of the blue, green, and dark purple light spots to compete with each other, and immediately touched the glimmer of light falling from the golden light spot.
The blue, green, and dark purple light spots were busy competing for the brightness, but for a moment they didn't care about Chen Yun who was sneaking away.
When he was about to touch the brilliance of golden light spots.
I saw blue light dots quickly spreading out a ray of light.
It fell in front of Chen Yun, trying to wrap up Chen Yun's entire body.
"What the hell, are you doing it again?"
Chen Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and felt helpless.
The last time he wanted to choose a golden light spot, he was suddenly attacked by a dark purple light spot and was forced to choose another light spot voluntarily.
The light points recommended here feel like overlord clauses, making it impossible for him to avoid them for a while.
Chen Yun was helpless for the time being.
There is nothing special about myself in the dream.
Even if he was already prepared this time.
It is also difficult to flash past the brilliance cast by the blue light spots.
In silence, he silently felt the gradually emerging sense of detachment, understanding that this eighth dream of sleeping and evolving was about to come to an end.
I understand that I still haven’t chosen the golden light spot.
When the consciousness gradually wakes up and prepares to be separated from this chaotic dream filled with endless cyan mist, a subtle and complex feeling of separation arises spontaneously.
It seems that the soul is slowly separated from this world woven by fantasy, and every thought must go against the pull of the blue mist to find the anchor point of the real world with difficulty.
This feeling is like when the morning dawn breaks, the first ray of sunlight penetrates the gaps in the thick curtains and gradually illuminates the edge of the dream.
The scenes in the dream began to become transparent, the green mist gradually became thinner, and the lights, shadows and whispers that were looming in the mist also faded as the mist dissipated, and everything returned to tranquility and clarity.
Chen Yun could feel a faint sadness, nostalgic for the free and mysterious chaos, but at the same time he also felt relief and the ease of rebirth.
Just like a diver slowly emerging from the water, the ringing in the ears is gradually relieved by the pressure, and the light is gradually brightening from blur to eyes. Every breath becomes more real, reminding you that you are about to return to the embrace of reality.
But Chen Yun understood.
In reality, I am sleeping at the bottom of the sea.
So it might be wrong to compare leaving a dream to a diver emerging from the water.
Because when Chen Yun wakes up.
What I feel is the deep water current that surrounds my whole body.
·····························
At the northern end of the Philippine Islands, a hidden corner of the Pacific Ocean on the east side of Luzon Island .
Early morning on April 16th. In the mist, a newly purchased Gallic conventional submarine, the "Deep Sea Explorer", was quietly moored in a carefully selected secret port.
This submarine, covered with advanced stealth coating, is like a ghost in the deep sea and is the latest pride of the Philippine Navy.
After several days of debugging and preparation, the "Deep Sea Explorer" finally ushered in its first voyage.
With a low whistle, the submarine slowly slid into the blue water.
The waves lapped against the ship.
As the hatch closes, the green lights on the instrument panel light up one by one, indicating that everything is ready.
Under the command of the captain, Colonel Marcos, the submarine slowly sank.
It soon disappeared below the sea level, leaving only a string of bubbles to prove its existence.
During the following voyage, the "Deep Sea Explorer" passed through rough seas and successfully approached a strategically important place - the Balintang Strait.
This important channel connecting the Western Pacific and the South China Sea has always been the focus of the navies of various countries. It is also a waterway with important economic and strategic significance for international shipping.
For the Philippine Navy, this place is naturally a top priority.
Just as the "Deep Sea Explorer" slowly dived into the depths of the Balintang Strait, it was preparing to patrol the South China Sea according to its scheduled route.
The sonar operator suddenly reported an abnormal signal: "Colonel, there is a strange anomaly in the nearby seafloor terrain. It does not look like a natural trace."
Upon hearing this, Colonel Marcos immediately ordered the submarine to adjust its attitude and slow down its speed.
At the same time, more sophisticated detection equipment was launched.
As the submarine gradually approached, a shocking sight gradually became clear on the sonar screen:
It was a long, irregular ravine trace winding on the seabed. Its straightness, almost constant width and depth cannot be explained by natural formation.
This trace is like a scar on the earth, silently telling the intensity and extraordinaryness of an unknown event.
Out of professional curiosity and sense of responsibility, Colonel Marcos decided to let the "Deep Sea Explorer" carefully follow this ravine and delve into the secrets behind it.
After all, this is within Philippine waters, and Colonel Marcos wants to make sure there is nothing unusual.
As the submarine goes deeper, the surrounding ocean environment becomes increasingly silent and mysterious, with only the sound of the instruments inside the submarine echoing in the closed space.
Soon, an unprecedented spectacle unfolded before everyone’s eyes:
It was a huge boulder.
It is so big that it can be mistaken for a small mountain, lying alone on the seabed.
At the edge of the boulder, there are extremely obvious signs of shattering and tearing.
The cracks on the rock surface seemed to be torn open by some incredible force.
The edges are jagged, exposing the rock formations inside, making it look particularly abrupt.
This is obviously not natural.
The professionals on the ship immediately analyzed that this was an unnatural phenomenon that suddenly occurred in recent times and was caused by the intervention of unknown external forces.
Stones that break apart naturally and stones that are suddenly smashed by external forces will show very different characteristics.
These differences are not only a direct dialogue between nature and traces of human activities, but also key clues for geologists and ocean explorers to unlock the secrets of the deep sea.
The edges of naturally crumbled stones usually present an uncarved wild beauty, irregular and rough, recording endless stories of years of wind, frost and water erosion. This fragmentation is the result of a collaboration between time and natural forces, such as the constant scouring of tides, the subtle nudges of geological movements on the ocean floor, and even the slow carving of biological processes that together shape their unique and complex contours.
In contrast, the edges of stones smashed by external forces tell a completely different history. The edges of these gravels are often more neat, and sometimes nearly right-angled fracture surfaces or sharp edges can be observed, revealing traces of instantaneous high-intensity force. It may also be accompanied by less natural attachments, such as seaweed, coral fragments, etc., because they are "new injuries" formed in a relatively short time scale.
Upon further observation, the surrounding environment of naturally broken stones is usually more harmoniously integrated. The gravel, fine sand, and biological remains are intertwined to form an ecologically balanced microenvironment.
Areas smashed by external forces may show more abrupt changes in geological structure, as well as temporarily disrupted seafloor ecological patterns due to the intervention of external forces.
This huge boulder right now.
It perfectly matches the characteristics of being smashed by external forces and is not formed by natural erosion.
Combined with the traces of the ravine extending next to this boulder.
It is basically certain that this is a huge boulder that was suddenly smashed by an external force, and then pushed all the way to this place by an unknown external force.
As for what this external force is.
That remains unknown for now.
In silence.
Colonel Marcos couldn't help asking the experts beside him: "Could it be caused by some kind of marine creature?"
"It doesn't look like that."
"How can any marine creature casually smash into pieces a boulder weighing more than ten tons, and then push it to plow the ground?"
"Isn't this idle?"
The expert said this after thinking for a moment.
He swore that no living thing would do such a pointless thing. He even believed that this was a functional secret weapon developed by a certain country.
Hear the words.
Colonel Marcos frowned, and then ordered decisively: "Continue to move forward along the direction of the ravine and look for the source of this huge boulder."
"All detection equipment is running at full power, and be careful of any special anomalies. The communications team reports the situation here to the headquarters at all times."
