Chen Nian double-counted the findings of the Special Forces team: "It happens that we can also go to verify it. If it is really related to the original creature, then the Neptune, as the best original creature, must be the cleanest around."

Chen Ci nodded and stood up.

After the preparations, the group set off again, heading for the Sea Emperor's location.

As soon as he stepped into this space, Chen Nian felt something unusual. The air was filled with a strong fishy smell, as if ten thousand crayfish were rotting in the stinky ditch, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose .

Among the more than 120 people present, only he took off half of his protective clothing because of the previous wound treatment. Chen Nian quickly took out his mask and put it on, finally able to take a deep breath of the purified air.

It's not a fresh taste.

The state of Neptune is self-evident, it smells like it is dying.

Under the escort of the special forces, the four finally approached the tail of the behemoth.

Shaffley observed the barbs under the scales, and was evoked the relevant memories in the game. Except for some discrepancies in color, the sea emperor McHenney he saw in the electric fantasy kingdom was exactly the same as the creature in front of him.

Chen Nian said softly: "Actually, in reality, no one has seen McHenney in person, right?"

"Father only used his mental power to detect it when he happened to pass by the relevant sea area back then, but he didn't fight it head-on, so there is only a rough outline in the manuscript."

"The fact that the models built by trusted tokens are so consistent means that during the game's production, they've got the exact data."

Fu Tianhe: "It can't be that the Beacons specifically brought Poseidon here for research in order to make the game more real?"

"Modeling should be just incidental." Chen Ci paused, "Are all the Neptunes we have seen in Electric Fantasy Kingdom modeled according to reality like it?"

No one can give an answer, but everyone understands the meaning of the statement.

If this is the case, it means that the beacon knows the detailed information of more than 20 sea emperors.

For hundreds of years, the sea kings have indeed led the primitive creatures one after another to launch attacks on the beacon.

However, under the guard of layers of platforms around the sea, there are very few cases where they directly hit the beacon.

Taking Chensha as an example, the most serious attack hit the abandoned suburbs, destroying the area into ruins. More than ten years later, there are still a large number of corpses of primitive creatures left in it.

Shaffery: "19 years ago, Moonshine suffered a months-long onslaught, which may have something to do with it."

Fu Tianhe: "Did the attack happen before or after the collapse?"

Shaffley: "Both, the most intense waves are after the collapse."

Chen Ci walked up to the huge body of the Sea Emperor, he took off the gloves of the protective suit, and raised his hand to press on the metal scales.

The protective suits of Chen Ci and Chen Nian are different from those of others. They mainly provide the function of anti-pressure and shock-absorbing. Otherwise, the previous fall would be enough to knock the brothers half to death.

Regardless of the premise of protecting Ashes, their gloves and masks can be put on and taken off freely.

Seeing this, Chen Nian followed his brother's example and reached out to touch it with style.

There was a coldness in the palm, and the scales were rusted, and they were indescribably rough.

Chen Nian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, gathered all his energy, and let out his energy.

There are very few primitive creatures that he has personally come into contact with. Only when he first went to the platform around the sea, he heard the buzzing sound of the small fragrant conch, and the call of the giant starfish and octopus.

But now, Chen Nian's mental strength has improved a lot, even stronger than most AOs who have received systematic training since they were 16 years old.

Resonance first occurs between Chen Ci and Chen Nian.

The two energies come from the same source, but there are slight changes due to different growth trajectories acquired.

They merged into one, like the bloodstains blending in the lines of the moonlight gate, mixing without distinction between you and me, sensing the huge Neptune who was emitting a stench.

hum-

The moment the dull sound came from the depths of his mind, Chen Nianqiang held back the horror in his heart and tried his best to keep himself in the most stable state.

He heard it, yes he heard it!

This Neptune is still alive!

Incomprehensible chaotic syllables filled my mind, and I could feel boundless pain and exhaustion just by listening to it.

Chen Nian continued to mobilize more mental power, and he and Chen Ci supported each other, creating an amazing effect that 1 plus 1 is far greater than 2.

As if some energy had been obtained with difficulty from this mental force, the dull sound gradually became clearer.

【Come... save me... save...】

It is asking for help from the brothers.

Perhaps the Neptune has been lying here all this time, calling out in its own unique way, hoping that someone can rescue it, but to no avail.

It was seriously injured where it couldn't be seen, and the wound was getting more and more rotten, so it gave off a strong stench.

We can only wait for death to approach step by step.

For a moment, Chen Nian couldn't bear it, he didn't know why he felt this way.

Obviously in the dungeon, he can kill mice and cockroaches without blinking an eye, and he can also use a shovel to smash the shellfish, shrimps and crabs all over the ground on the platform around the sea.

But at this moment, pity welled up in my heart.

Why is it so strange?

Chen Nian frowned, and he listened intently for a few more minutes, making sure that the Sea Emperor was just repeating the message for help one after another.

In the end, Chen Nian couldn't take it anymore, and took the lead to withdraw his hand.

Chen Ci looked over, the two pairs of amber eyes looked at each other, and Chen Ci asked softly, "Did you hear that?"

Chen Nian nodded: "It... is asking us for help."

Similar things have happened before. On the beach in the abandoned suburb a few months ago, the dying primordial squid cried and asked for a statement.

But Chen Ci picked out its heart without blinking an eye.

But now, I don't know if it's because of the recovery of emotion, the statement is actually slightly moved.

Judging from Chen Nian's performance, he should feel similar to him.

Not so good.

Statement: "Let's go, and then go to see other places."

Chen Nian followed behind Chen Ci, grabbed the sharp scales, and climbed up to the Sea Emperor.

"Be careful." Fu Tianhe reminded them.

After climbing more than ten meters, Chen Ci found the first eye at the position that was about to reach the ceiling.

Its diameter is slightly smaller than what you see in the game, about two meters, and the pupils of the eyes are cloudy gray, as if they are covered with a thick layer of cloud.

The pupils are dilated almost to the edge, and the eyes of most deep-sea fishes have degenerated in the long-term darkness.

But this Neptune not only did not exist, but dozens of them grew, which should be active in shallow waters.

It has grown to such an extent that the original species cannot be seen at all. Chen Nian lowered his head, and when he got closer, he heard Shaffley shouting: "There is movement in the compass!"

"Is it here?" Chen Nian asked aloud, but he didn't need to get an answer, he had already expected it.

In the center of the pupil of this eye, rot was taking place, and the rotting biological tissue reminded Chen Nian of boiled brains or tofu that had been kicked to pieces.

Chen Nian glanced sideways at the ceiling, which was only 20 centimeters away from his head, and lay on Queen Hai's back, moving forward inch by inch.

"Be careful." Chen Ci reminded aloud.

The sharp scales may scratch the protective clothing at any time, causing bleeding wounds on Chen Nian's body.

Although Chen Nian was a little fleshy, he was not clumsy at all. He crawled to his eyes, and his body was sandwiched between the sea emperor and the ceiling.

Chen Nian was so scared that he didn't dare to vent his breath. As long as the big thing under him moved a little, he would be squeezed into a puddle of meat immediately.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Chen Nian stretched out his hand, a little out of reach, gritted his teeth and continued forward.

The upper body is lying on the surface of the eyeball, and the touch is very similar to that in the game, but it is softer.

——The Neptune who was dying, his eyeballs also lost their elasticity, will it be the same for human beings?

Chen Nian lay on the eyeballs from the waist up. He stretched out his right hand and inserted it into the rotten pupil in the center.

It's hard to describe what it feels like.

If he didn't know in advance, Chen Nian would only feel that he had put his hand into a puddle of fake water, and the liquid colloidal substance wrapped his arm, and as it went deeper, it made a squeaking sound.

But unfortunately, he knew exactly what he was doing, so there was only a strong sense of nausea in his heart.

Chen Nian heard the voice again, even if he didn't deliberately use his mental power, the howl of pain still drilled into his brain.

[Pain... so painful, so painful! 】

—I'm sorry, but I really need this thing.

Chen Nian forcibly ignored the voice until half of his forearm was stretched in, and finally touched the target he was looking for.

He grabbed it and jerked his arm out!

【what! ! ! 】

The juice splashed on his mask, leaving a few blurred marks.

Chen Nian resisted the urge to retch. He took a closer look and found that it was an arm wrapped in the gray-white viscous vitreous content.

He didn't bother to look carefully, quickly exited the narrow space, and carefully slid down along the arc of the Sea Emperor's body.

Chen Nian was panting violently, feeling a little pain in his head, maybe it was the sea emperor's screams that had affected it.

He handed his arm to Shaffley, and immediately turned to clean the mask to divert his attention.

Fu Tianhe counted the corpses around his waist: "We picked up a hand, half an arm, a foot and half of a calf, oh, and a kidney. According to the size of the dismembered corpse and the search speed, it may take several years." Genius can spell out a person completely."

"Wait a minute, it doesn't look like a simple arm."

Shaffley was cleaning the stains on his arm, and suddenly found that there were barcode-like black lines on the outside of it.

Chen Ci came over, he took a few glances, picked up the terminal, and pointed the camera at the texture.

drop.

After scanning the code, after a long wait with poor network conditions, nothing was recognized.

If you can sweep it out, you will really see a ghost.

Shaffley continued to check, his fingers lightly pinched the position where the barcode was, and he touched a hard object.

"It has a chip implanted in it."

Shaffley drew the dagger from his waist, he hesitated for a few seconds, not sure whether he should cut it open and destroy the integrity.

But after thinking about it, she had already become such a broken corpse, so there was no need to worry too much about it.

Shafele silently said sorry in his heart.

The dagger slashed down, cutting open the flesh precisely, and the tip of the knife picked out the chip buried under the skin.

Fu Tianhe took over the arm so that Shaffley could free up his hand to study the chip carefully.

"This thing should be plugged into a special recognition machine." Shafele said, "We have to find a working machine to read the contents inside."

"Then keep looking." Chen Ci said, "follow the body of this thing, I want to know how it got up."

At this moment, the special operations team reorganized the group and let the injured team members walk with the four in the middle.

"Has it been five years since you joined the Special Forces?" Chen Nian was quite surprised.

From the conversation just now, he knew that the injured female Alpha soldier was named Xu Fengyi.

"Yeah, before that, I served in other troops for seven years, and was finally selected into the special forces."

Chen Nian: "It's amazing, it must be very hard."

"Fortunately, after all, it's something I like, and I don't think it's too hard." Xu Fengyi smiled, "When I was young, I decided to apply for the military academy because I saw the news about Marshal Chen Wei. Your father is the father of many of us. What about the target, right? Davis."

Davis: "Is there anyone who has studied in a military academy who doesn't take the marshal as an example? He edited several textbooks."

Chen Nian couldn't remember how many times he had heard his father mentioned. In the Invalids Academy, soldiers who were wounded, disabled or permanently ill also talked about Chen Wei who had died long ago with the same reverence.

Davis said with emotion: "It would have been nice if the Marshal hadn't died so early."

Chen Nian: "It's a pity that I don't have much impression of my father. I was very young when he left."

Xu Fengyi suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, I'm talking about your sadness."

"It's okay, I want to hear more too."

Chen Nian chatted with her, and felt that the inexplicable compassion in his mind disappeared a lot.

It was as if...an invisible rope was pulling him back to the world.

Chen Ci was also beside him. Although he didn't say a word, Chen Nian knew that his brother must be listening carefully.

They followed the body of the Sea Emperor, found the gap that was broken, lowered the rope from the broken gap, and descended to a deeper place.

The intermittent voice still sounded in my mind, but it was quite weak compared to before.

Chen Nian forcibly ignored the disharmonious call, he asked Shaffery if he heard anything, and got a negative answer.

As before, only he and his brother could hear.

The team arrived at the area under the side room of the CPU. This is still the place where the beacon CPU is located, but ordinary residents are prohibited from living in it. Only professional staff can use the authority card to enter it.

Two huge CPUs support all calculations, and at the same time become the base of a huge building. Countless seawater is pumped for its cooling. This is the most important area of ​​all beacons.

Before Moonlight lost contact, it was able to spare computing power to assist in the development of the game, indicating that the problem with the CPU should not be serious.

Fu Tianhe looked up and looked around. He saw the broken lights embedded in the wall and the wires exposed due to damage. He stepped forward and checked with other special forces members.

"There is electricity." Fu Tianhe quickly came to a conclusion, "If it is not connected to the battery, there should be a distribution station nearby."

This is especially good news for everyone.

Electricity means need, maybe Moonlight itself is still running, or maybe there are survivors alive.

After all, when Marshal Chen Wei led the army to evacuate, he only took away tens of thousands of residents, and the permanent population of Moonlight is 2300 million.

Those who managed to escape were just a drop in the bucket.

It stands to reason that more than 2000 million people were buried in the moonlight forever, but until now, except for the mutilated limbs collected, they have not been able to find human bones.

Chen Nian suddenly thought of the blueprint he saw under the table in the former residence of the Invalids Academy.

Vault 41.

Before he had time to think about it, the seventh shock happened suddenly.

The special forces responded skillfully, with more than 100 guns pointing in different directions, and the captain quickly judged the difference between this shock and other collapses.

At the same time, Tsavorite's voice came from the channel: "It's a worm."

The worm, which had been blown up by the statement and was thrown away because of the metal structure, finally found a suitable path and followed it!

But this time, the four of them didn't have to run away desperately.

The bullets poured into the worm's head, which immediately made its juice splash. The worm twisted wildly, and plunged into the ground halfway, trying to hide itself entirely.

The rumbling sound of drilling the ground was accompanied by the vibration of the soles of the feet. Seeing that the situation was not good, the worm slipped faster than anyone else, and disappeared in place in a blink of an eye, leaving only a huge long and narrow hole and a lot of splashing mucus.

Looking at it, Chen Nian felt extremely angry, hit!Kill you bastard!

The team members stepped forward to collect mucus for temporary testing.

Everyone gathered around the hole where the worm escaped, and the special operations captain held guns in both hands and said, "Good guy, what did this thing eat to grow so big?"

No one could give him an answer. In fact, neither the crystal organisms nor the worms we saw just now were so huge that they didn't seem to be naturally generated inside the moonlight.

After all, what they saw along the way were all bones that had been skeletalized for a long time, and there were no plants, and there was not enough food source at all.

But there were more of them than expected, and after the battle, no amethyst creature was found to take away the corpses of the same kind to share food.

There should be a stable food source inside Moonlight that they haven't discovered.

"Why don't we follow this worm and see what's going on?" Fu Tianhe suggested.

The special operations captain shook his head: "It's too dangerous, and the hole is not very big. Even if it can get in, it's hard to use it inside. If the worm takes the opportunity to attack, we will be a living target."

What he said was good, just to be on the safe side, it's better not to take any risks.

Everyone went back and continued to search. Since there is electricity, it shows that some mechanical and electronic equipment can be driven.

Fu Tianhe groped along the wires, and finally found a small transformer in the corner, and the source of electricity should be further down.

Just lots of electronic gates that require identification, blocking access to other areas.

At this time, the test results on the worm juice came out.

The instruments they carried were small, and the results were not precise, but enough to give a general idea.

There are many similarities between the composition of the worm and the sea emperor around it, and the traceability of the species has been confirmed to be the Sama squid worm.

This is a creature that lives in the ocean and feeds on plankton and detritus. Its head has eight tentacles as long as its body for breathing, and its body is covered with shorter tentacles for crawling and walking. slide.

It's just this one, apparently some changes have taken place, in order to adapt to life in the moonlight, it has evolved stronger mouthparts.

"Is it related to the Neptune?" Chen Nian looked at the huge body of the Neptune, "Could it be the child born of the Neptune and the giant Sama squid worm? But won't there be reproductive isolation?"

Shaffley: "Who knows."

Together with other team members, Fu Tianhe took a rough look at the area.

From a structural point of view, it is like a buffer zone, and there is no trace of crystal biological activity in it. If it wasn't for the Sea Emperor to break a hole in the ceiling, it would be difficult to enter it.

"Continue to follow it down." Shaffley said.

The team members found the loosest point from the Neptune's side, widened the gap to a width enough for two people to pass through, and followed the rope down one after another.

Speaking of which, they have to thank the Sea Emperor for helping to open up a passage.

When his feet touched the ground again, Chen Nian let go of the rope, and his mental strength had already explored the surrounding situation during the descent.

This time, they finally found the head of the sea emperor.

Chen Nian gently pulled down the sleeves of the statement, and the two brothers made a small circle and walked in front of Haihuang.

Maxine does look like a gigantic lizard, except that there are eleven or twelve eyes crowding the head, which is extremely weird.

As if sensing the approach of Chen Ci and Chen Nian, those eyes moved.

They turned slowly, as if the soft and rotten tissues were being squeezed, and thick and cloudy liquid flowed out from the eye sockets.

The many pupils covered with shadows all looked at the two brothers standing in front of them by coincidence.

Compared with it, the human body is so small, not even as good as an eye.

At the moment when he was stared at by more than a dozen eyes, his breathing could not help but stagnate.

Chen Nian's mind was blank, the liquid that was flowing out was like tears, so huge, it flowed down the sea emperor's weird face, every drop could form sticky puddles on the floor.

Chen Ci's expression became dazed, he didn't hear the voice, and the Sea Emperor seemed to know that no matter how much it shouted, it wouldn't get any response.

It is impossible for the two people who can hear its voice to help.

"Chen Nian?" Shafelai came over and patted Chen Nian on the shoulder lightly.

Chen Nian suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head in a daze, and saw unconcealable worry in Alpha's violet eyes.

He opened his mouth, and after two seconds, he still asked, "What's wrong?"

"I should ask you that."

Chen Nian raised his finger to point at the Sea Emperor, and said, "Look, don't they seem to be crying?"

Shaffley: "That's the Neptune, Niannian. Maybe it attacked the beacon and killed many people."

"I know." Chen Nian paused, but finally said nothing.

He didn't know how to explain to Shaffley the strange feeling in his heart.

Is it because of the existence of him and the statement, may it be related to the Emperor of the Sea?

After all, from the very beginning, they had heard the call of the original creature, and the statement asked the original sea turtle for clues about their mother, and the sea turtle only said a series of names of the sea emperor.

Chen Nian lowered his head and stared at his hands. They were fair enough because they were slightly callused due to labor, but no matter how you looked at them, they were definitely a pair of human hands.

He made up his mind, stopped going to see the Sea Emperor, and pulled away the silent statement.

As they left, the Sea Emperor's eyes continued to turn, always staring at the figures of the boys.

A member of the Special Forces discovered this, and whispered to his companions: "It's infiltrated to death, can you make it close its eyes?"

"You can try to see if you can blow it up."

"I don't dare, it's still alive, if it gets angry, it's not impossible to eat us all."
