The other end of time and space.

Battle of the stars, Amos court territory.

Although there is no night or day in the empty sky, according to the traditional customs of Amos in the major star regions, this time point is the time for rest.

After a long period of planning and preparation, Michael Rove's temporary latent spy kleler and alien international friend Elma are now ready to launch an exploration of Amos court. To be honest, although this has nothing to do with their original goal, every intelligent creature always has the curiosity to kill itself, Today's Keller and Elma are just like this. Under the influence of an adult, they sincerely want to explore the truth behind Wang Ting's strange situation.

After all, behind them, there is a kind God of steel watching them.

"Ready, CRADLER."

Compared with the tentacle shaped, Elma looks more like a tall human woman. She is trimming the front port of the virtual battleship. She can see that her whole body is full of real life energy, interacting with the main port of the battleship. Behind her, the black haired human youth touches her clothes uneasily, Then he reluctantly said, "ready... Er, so we're going to drive the warship directly... To be exact, we're going out with your body?"

Kleler now also knows the specific life style of the Amos people... In the court of Amos, most of the people who are responsible for physical labor are "flesh and blood machine servants", a kind of strange semi biological and semi mechanical artificial life body, and the Amos who have experienced the "divine light test" (magic radiation), It is generally divided into three categories: "war", "thinking" and "versatile", dealing with combat, scientific research, all kinds of culture, production and finishing.

The thinking Amos are generally concentrated in a few closely protected artificial star domains, which are guarded by the Amos Emperor himself. The war Amos and the universal Amos have evolved to the point where they can go in and out of the void. Only when they reach this point can they hold civil rights and speak out on all kinds of topics. Among them, three categories can transform each other, and Elma is a typical one. She has experienced all three categories, and her noumenon naturally holds the ability to go in and out of the void.

In other words, it's a large biological warship.

When he knew this, kleler was still shocked. It was difficult for him to understand that the human figure in front of him was just an interactive terminal, and the warship under his feet was the essence of Elma. However, he soon accepted the setting that the mage tower had a talisman, the weapon had a talisman, and the warship had a talisman.

What really makes kleler uncomfortable is his clothes: these clothes are actually a part of Elma's body. They are the active substances secreted by each other in front of him... They are living tools used to communicate with him in real time and detect his physical condition. To tell you the truth, as a young man in his early twenties, when he saw Elma's tall and beautiful human appearance, he was still wearing such a "dress" which can be regarded as a part of each other's body. Kleler really felt embarrassed.

However, it is obvious that alien international friend Elma does not have this self-consciousness. She naturally replied: "I am a high-level individual with the authority of" commander ". I have access to major secret facilities. As long as I want to, 95% of the secrets are secret to me."

"However, the abnormality of Wangting this time is exactly the 5% I don't know. Going to the satellite uplink database and forcibly cracking to obtain information is the last resort. Before that, I want to observe the surrounding situation and see if I can get anything."

It's a very reasonable logic of action, and kleler himself doesn't mean to oppose it. In a shock, they start to sail slowly from Elma's private void anchor.

The calm void is like a sea without undercurrent, and the warship is like a giant in the sea, swimming slowly.

Elma's star territory is now located in a relatively biased frontier area of the bloody Star River. The royal court does not have strict control over it. Therefore, Elma can secretly plan to break away from the control of the royal court and hoard materials. Of course, even so, there is a perfect community in this star territory, where a large number of Amos live.

At the moment, most of the civilians in this region are late at night, but for combat individuals, they don't need sleep for self adjustment and rest, so they can see that many teams of empty warships are patrolling and blocking the main roads.

Elma's noumenon is an anti detection warship that can completely sneak. The specific form is a shuttle shaped whole and a probe tentacle that can be derived from both sides. Although it is said that Elma can start the action of hiding posture, this time she shows her full shape in an extremely high profile, swimming in the void in a translucent posture with flashing fluorescence.

CRADLER was naturally a little nervous about it, but he knew why. As a member of the royal court, Elma naturally knows all kinds of rules and hidden rules inside the royal court. As an individual with commander's authority (extreme peak), her access will not be paid attention to by most patrols. She will only be asked when going in and out of important facilities, which is a kind of privilege.In fact, it is not surprising that those patrol ships with a black shell and looking like a buckled iron hand stopped when they noticed Elma's body and respectfully sent out a friendly signal, while the occasional patrol team leader (the larger ladder pyramid ship) just sent out a signal of inquiry, a routine, But Elma didn't reply to the former's signal, and the latter just dealt with it casually, and then, naturally, continued to wander in the void.

"The internal martial law of the satellite domain is very serious. At ordinary times, even at night, there will be some wandering individuals. But now, in the whole satellite domain and more than a dozen worlds, only patrol teams and some military staff with authority can be seen."

Inside the warship, Elma's human incarnation looks serious: "when I faced the annihilation order on the front line, the frontier Star area was not so martial. I'm afraid that only the control during the total war period can be compared with that now - Clara, as an individual of the court of Amos, I can only think of" the court is preparing for war. ", Or "the royal court is defending the swallowers", but I'm afraid it's not so simple. What's your opinion? "

Elma knows very well that although she has a wide range of knowledge, she is likely to be limited because of the social characteristics of the Amos. Although kleler is not a wise man, she has at least another racial perspective and light point to learn from.

"My opinion." After a moment's inquiry, kleler was also a meritocracy who had received the captain's education. He thought for a moment, and then replied, "it's a bit like when the evil cult spread the plague and the Empire was under martial law. Every family had to be independent. Only knights and patrols were on patrol, To avoid the spread of plague caused by population mobility. "

"Of course, it's also a bit like the appearance of some highly mobile Warcraft or heretics. They are lurking into the city, so they must be under martial law and find each other's trace."

At this point, kleler could not help feeling a little absurd - what plague can spread across the void? What kind of Warcraft monster can make a whole huge star river empire under martial law?

And it's not one, it's two. It's the same with takur annihilation order recently. Two huge xenophobic forces are so well prepared. How can plague and monsters do this.

No way.

Elma's Star area is not big, and the void situation is not complicated. Soon, most of the areas have been detected, and there is nothing unusual except martial law. The internal news and various notices of the royal court are normal.

In this regard, kleler really felt the particularity of Elma. This Amos person has the suspicion and action ability far beyond the ordinary Amos people. She only relied on a little metaphysical sense of "feeling" and "Guessing" to find some mistakes in the seemingly normal universe.

"The Simba family lives in this empty settlement, but the fluctuation of time and space shows that there has been no individual in and out of this settlement for more than ten days and nights."

Inside the spaceship, Elma thoughtfully recovers the afterimage of the space-time trajectory on the light curtain. She imitates a serious face of kleler, biting her lips and whispering: "I suspect something may have happened to the Xinba family... We must find a chance to see what happened inside the settlement."

"Dive in and explore, leave it to me. Your goal is too big to stay around for a long time."

At this moment, kleler also knew that it was time for him to play - the young man with black hair stood up, put his hand directly on the black gold belt around his waist, and whispered: "crisis management system, start!"

"Loading extraordinary plug-in - the gold of shadow!"

[are you ready?]

"Wear armor!"

With the rapid and short communication, accompanied by a slight mechanical vibration sound, big black dust clouds gush out from the belt around kleler's waist, surrounded by golden lines, like lightning, completely enveloping kleler. At the next moment, all dust and golden lightning suddenly contract, Then he turned into a strange full covering armor with black and gold, and wrapped crayler completely. You can see that there is a dark flame burning on his head and shoulders, and there are golden sparks flashing in his core.

Very handsome, even with the Amos aesthetic. One side, watching this scene, Elma could not help but flash such an idea.

[the special installation version of Qiao's system starts... Links to the crisis management system, and starts to carry out modular processing... Extraordinary armor · youjinzhiyan is fully opened]

[lurking, raiding, uprooting, we are all in the shadow of the fire!]

"Activate the path of shadows!"

Without any hesitation, Keller, who started the extraordinary armor, immediately used the "shadow path" which is the core of the extraordinary ability of the armor! As you can see, a knife appears in his hand, which seems to be completely shadowed. With the help of Elma, kleler throws the knife in the right direction without hesitation.Then you can see a black streamer flash away, straight into the void not far away.

The path of shadows!

The shadow power from Goliath, the sixth abyss demon, combined with the material control ability of the legendary soldier Radcliffe, produces a powerful and extraordinary ability!

[create a shadow knife and throw it in any direction to form a shadow path. As long as the user is within the shadow path, he can penetrate almost all space-time barriers, energy defense, material walls and position shields

[the results of the 37th experiment on shadow power are quite effective, but Goliath looks very unhappy... "I'm not here to be an experimental animal!", What does this sentence mean

[- Mr. Radcliffe, a combat researcher who did not want to be named]

Slightly nodding to Elma on one side, kleler galloped along the path of shadow directly. It seemed that the long distance was just something that could be crossed in a moment, even the detection organ that Elma deliberately prepared, I didn't even see how CRADLER got through the shadow path.

"It's like a jump!"

At this moment, kleler has entered the void settlement, but Elma's voice can still be heard, because his clothes are part of each other's body... But kleler has no time to care about what Elma said at this moment, because in the spirit, the warning from the crisis management system is piercing the eardrum.

[warning! Abnormal biomass detected!]

[warning! Feel the erosion of different materials!]

[warning! Large scale micro life is approaching!]

What the hell?

Even though he had prepared himself for the danger inside the empty settlement, kleler didn't expect that the danger would come so quickly and so unusual - he just looked up, looked at the walls and halls that seemed to have no abnormality, and then he was attacked by strange things that could not be seen at all!

"Damn, is this the only way to use it?"

As a last resort, kleler can only use the second supernatural ability of the supernatural armor and youjinzhiyan [shadow desolation].

According to the previous launch of extraordinary armor, Elma and kleler know that youjinzhiyan has four powerful extraordinary abilities, [shadow path], [shadow desolation], [Yang Yan refraction] and [ember coming]

Among them, the path of shadow is moving and hiding. It can be thrown out for long-distance displacement or at the foot, Hide yourself in the shadows【 [Yang Yan refraction] can create a small mass of steel fog around the body. It is a completely sneaking means. It can completely eliminate kleler's breath, energy fluctuations and other traces. It can also be used as a shield in times of crisis to offset and rebound some non physical energy damage.

As for "ember fall", it is a complete life saving skill. It has a very long cooling time, but it has a great effect. When the equiper is in a fatal danger, the crisis management system will force all the power of shadow gold to burst out and make a legendary strike. At the same time, no matter whether the equiper is dead or not (most likely died on the spot), the system will not be able to prevent the equiper from being killed, The body will be burned to ashes, and the soul, together with the core of shadow gold, will be sent to a part of shadow gold fragments cut out in advance, and then regenerate.

In addition to special skills, armor can also greatly improve the physical fitness and reaction speed of the wearer. There are also various auxiliary combat systems, which can be described as an all-round amplifier. Even if a 70 year old woman is equipped with it, she may be able to defeat the extraordinary profession who is not proficient in combat.

The "shadow desolation" is the only attack means of the whole youjinzhiyan armor. Taking the armor surface as the origin, it creates a layer of black space. All the material energy that hits the space will be broken up by the steel force in the space. It is the most perfect means of attack and defense, except that it can't be long-range. However, in addition, there is a disadvantage. Because the power of shadow desolation is too strong, it is likely to hurt or absorb the attack of teammates. Therefore, it can not be launched when there are many friends. Only when it is surrounded by many enemies, when the user is ready to break through, or when it is ready to destroy witnesses, can it give full play to its power.

With the start of shadow barrenness, a layer of dim shadow appeared on the surface of kleler's body. As soon as it appeared, it immediately ignited a dark golden flame in the seemingly empty space around him, and continued to spread in all directions. Kleler looked around in shock. Of course, he knew that this was a vision of invisible existence in the air eroded by the force of steel, But now he hasn't figured out what it was that attacked him.

"... crayler, go find the body of the Simba family."

Elma, who witnessed all this in real time with the young people with black hair, was the first to react. She soon knew that the "multi-purpose logistics personnel" who lived here, the Xinba family she was quite familiar with, might have suffered an accident, but her sadness and anger could not make her hesitate for a moment. Elma pointed out: "the Xinba family is not big, they are professional logistics families, While living in this empty settlement, they are also responsible for maintaining the bodies and machinery of the patrolmen and fighters passing by. Most of the time, they should be around the maintenance room on the lower side of the settlement. ""All right."

Crayler naturally had no objection. He raised his head and looked around the hall... It had to be said that the Amos were not comparable in size to human beings. The other side's ordinary doors looked like the Arc de Triomphe on the other side of the capital of the far south Kingdom, and he was just like a villain entering the giant kingdom. However, with the support of the extraordinary armor and the guidance of Elma, he soon went through the corridors and came to the maintenance room of the lower and middle level of the void base.

Along the way, kleler encountered several invisible and immaterial existence attacks, but they were all solved by kleler using shadow desolation. Soon, kleler met his first target.

A huge, snail like carcass.

It is 40 meters long, 25 meters high and 20 meters wide. Its main body is a huge, alloy metal volute, which is supported by a network of carbon fiber soft columns - it seems to be the skeleton in front of the creature.

There was no flesh and blood on the corpse, no pus or carrion on the ground, and the whole corpse was clean. Even if kleler used the shadow to get close to it, he didn't feel the existence of invisible danger - the corpse was empty, nothing was left, nothing was left.

"What kind of creature is this..."

Crayler was naturally surprised. He looked at the huge corpse lying on the side of a building and said, "is this the Amos? You're really big. Even the logistics personnel have such amazing bodies! "

"No!"

But kleler heard Elma's solemn voice: "no! The bodies of the Simba family are not like this... What they choose to evolve is the evolution of the information processing system of the specialized brain! They don't have such a cumbersome thing as a shell. They usually soak in the nutrient solution in the maintenance room to deal with the problems of material transportation and maintenance logistics! "

"Go and see other places. It could be the bodies of other Amos."

Crayler naturally doesn't care. With the help of the shadow path, all kinds of walls and blocked gates of the void settlement have no effect on him. In less than ten minutes, he went all over every corner of the void settlement.

In this process, including the first one, he found five corpses in each corner of the maintenance room - one with a huge snail shell, one with a solid bone wing, one without a specific image, leaving only a scattered skeleton, and one with the crystal of eyes.

And the strangest thing is the last corpse - he also grew a huge metal shell, but there are two huge jets behind the shell. If there is no mistake, there should be two flesh and blood engines inside the jet, so that it can accelerate the propulsion.

"... the five bones are the population of the Xinba family... The eldest son of engineering manufacture, the mother of material handling, the second daughter of mechanical control, the second man in charge of observation, and the father in charge of the maintenance of the void warship."

Elma murmured: "although the corpse is completely different, it has obvious features... And these shapes are very familiar..."

Soon, she suddenly remembered her familiar feeling: "wait a minute, aren't these shapes the special abilities and special individual prototypes that we Amos evolved in the past generations?"

"This is an atavism mutation!"

When Emma, who was walking back and forth in the surrounding star field, recalled where the familiar feeling came from, kleler suddenly received a prompt, and the "crisis management system" fed back an important message.

[we have successfully identified the polar microbial Ontology: the forced evolution of molecular level autonomous organisms (tentatively named: extreme virus)]

[effect: force the evolution of the host, consume a lot of energy, 100% open the potential of the host, and randomly evolve it to a certain level of limit state]

[it is suggested that there is infection in non-polar grade, It will irreversibly encounter the collapse of the essence of life. In the case of insufficient energy, one in a hundred billion may evolve into a limit state. In the case of sufficient energy, one in a million may evolve into a limit state. The loser will consume all the energy that can be consumed, including but not limited to fat and muscle fibers, Blood...]

[final conclusion: Super dangerous virus!]

[suggested treatment measures: complete elimination!]

[preventive measures: completely isolate the substance, put the infected substance into the star, or roast it for more than 12000 ℃ for 20 seconds to destroy its shell and completely inactivate the virus!]

[real time countermeasures: emergency exit!]
