Dimensional Alliance

Surveillance videos from multiple angles show that from the moment Zheng Zhenghao came to the door of the main control room until now, nothing has appeared in the entire corridor, as if what Zheng Zhenghao saw was only caused by his excessive mental stress. Like fantasies or hallucinations.

"There's nothing outside." The lieutenant general murmured to himself in a low voice.

"No, something must have happened outside." Although all the systems that are still working show that everything is normal, but in Shimian, it is not like a horror movie, thinking that the companion's "discovery" is a mistake, and he does not believe it. Zheng Zhenghao, who has experienced the battle of Huanglongfu and the first thought experiment, will have hallucinations due to 'nervousness' at this time.

"You said those things are like mind projections?" Shi Mian thought carefully, "You said, could the things you see be the mind projections of the original enterovirus? Assuming that the original enterovirus invaded our system, then can we Try to use all the invaded systems as the body of the original enterovirus in the real world? If you look at it this way, doesn’t it conform to what you said before, that the thinking projection should be around the body?”

"I'm not sure if a thing that comes out of the thinking world will have a thinking projection, but the possibility you mentioned exists..." Zheng Zhenghao nodded, he hesitated, and then asked, "Then we Do you want to ignore the... projection of the original enterovirus?"

"Of course, at least we have to make sure that what Zheng Zhenghao discovered was a mind projection or something else," Shi Mian replied affirmatively, and then looked at the lieutenant general.

"Notify a team of guards to follow me, and we will go to the thinking connection hall immediately. I remember that a thinking amplifier is stored there, and Huang Ke, who is in charge of cutting off the network connection of the thinking connection hall, is ready to lead the team to respond." Ignoring the lieutenant general's resistance Shi Mian gave a strong command, "Although there is no abnormality found in the monitoring, and from the results of our previous experiments, the thinking projection should not be able to affect the real world, but too many things have happened today that are beyond our control. Unexpected things, notify everyone, pay attention to vigilance on the road."

------

After completing the assignment of tasks, Shi Mian led a small team to the thinking connection hall, but every time they came to a corner, Zheng Zhenghao could vaguely see that there would be something similar to what he saw just now at these corners. The deformed monsters I saw, the walls and ceilings of some corridors seemed to be covered with some kind of sarcoma-like things, and the closer to the hall of thinking connection, the higher the density and frequency of these sarcoids, and even made Zheng Zhenghao once again. He once again returned to the illusion of the monster's underground lair in Huanglong Mansion.

Whenever Zheng Zhenghao notices these sarcomas, they will quickly become transparent and completely disappear from Zheng Zhenghao's eyes within two to three seconds, but before they completely disappear, Zheng Zhenghao clearly sees that these strange tissues are regularly Shrinking, relaxing.Like some kind of breathing animal.

Just like the abnormality that Zheng Zhenghao found outside the main control room before, only he can see these translucent sarcoma, even if the fellow team members cast their sights in their direction before the dark red lumps disappeared, But all he could see was the clean metal walls.

But I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. Although Zheng Zhenghao became more and more frightened along the way, the team led by them did not encounter any attack or interference until they arrived at the thinking connection hall.

Due to the abnormality in the base, there are heavily armed guards and medical staff on standby around the thinking link hall at this time. The main firepower of the first two lines of defense is directed towards the direction of leaving the hall, while the guns of the last two lines of defense are aimed at the thinking connection hall that has never responded.

However, this orderly appearance was not what Shi Mian wanted to see. He walked towards the line of defense with a livid face, and asked mercilessly, "What's going on? Where is Huang Ke? Let him come over! Why do you all keep fighting?" Staying here? Why didn't you destroy the surrounding network connections as ordered?"

"Sorry chief, I don't understand what you mean?" Huang Ke trotted over after receiving the order, but his face was full of doubts. He didn't know why Shi Mian suddenly appeared here, let alone the so-called The 'destroy the network connection' is referring to.

Shi Mian knew that losing his temper at this time would only make the situation more chaotic and waste precious time, so he quickly calmed down and said in a stern tone: "We issued an order to you about 15 minutes ago , ask you to immediately organize personnel to dismantle all network connection equipment except communication equipment around the thinking connection hall, and start organizing and escorting logistics and medical personnel to complete the evacuation work after completing the task, did you not receive the order?"

"Report to the chief! The order we received was to stay on alert. Eight minutes ago we took the initiative to contact the control center in Germany to ask if the order had changed, but the control center still only asked us to stay on alert. We have not received other orders. !"

"Impossible, we haven't received any communication request!" Seeing that many people's eyes were on him, a staff member who arrived at the thought link hall with the team hurriedly stood up and voluntarily denied it.

Shi Mian did not doubt Huang Ke's loyalty. After all, Huang Ke was one of the first batch of volunteers to conduct the original enterovirus injection experiment without any safety guarantee.

Similarly, Shi Mian has no reason to suspect that the staff at the control center missed or misinformed the order, because he personally confirmed that the teams in all areas have responded.

"Contact Control Center."

Shi Mian was silent for a few seconds before giving an order.

Volume 463 Into the Star Sea: Chapter 0456 Chapter [-] Pollution

456

"This is the main control center, please speak." The communication request with the main control center was quickly connected, but the response sound from the communication device was as gentle as if there was no emergency at present. But it made all the staff who came all the way from the main control center feel that something was wrong.

"I'm Shi Mian," Shi Mian, who was standing on the communicator, asked straight to the point, with a sinking face, "Did Huang Ke contact you 10 minutes ago?"

"Understood, please continue to be vigilant." However, the answer from the other side of the communicator was completely wrong.

Although Shi Mian had already guessed at this time, he still asked one more question: "Who are you? Protovirus?"

"Received, the mission objective remains unchanged, please continue with the current alert mission..."

"Pa——" After receiving another reply without any logic at all, Shi Mian hung up the phone directly, gritted his teeth, and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago, since the original enterovirus can invade our system, it can't do anything. If not, our communication system has been interfered with by it long ago."

"Huang Ke! Immediately arrange personnel to destroy the network connection between the thinking connection hall and other facilities! Send a group of people to report the situation we just discovered to the main control center! Let them immediately carry out actual operations on all areas that need to be 'deleted'. confirm!"

Before Shi Mian could finish all the orders, the soldiers who received the instructions had already divided into several groups, and began to cut off the network connection of the thinking link hall under the guidance of several accompanying engineers.

"Where is the mind amplifier?" Shi Mian said, nodded to Zheng Zhenghao, and then walked into the mind connection hall first, while Zheng Zhenghao and other accompanying technicians followed closely behind Shi Mian.

Unlike the heavily armed corridor, except for Shiraishi Sakura and Morishita Eri who are in the thinking link device, there is no one in the thinking link hall.

"Can you see those monsters in here?" Shi Mian slowed down a little after entering the thinking connection hall, and asked when he stood shoulder to shoulder with Zheng Zhenghao.

Zheng Zhenghao looked around, then shook his head: "I didn't see any monsters, at least not in here. Maybe I guessed wrong, or maybe the consciousness of the original enterovirus has long been gone in this room. "

"Anyway, our goal this time is the mind amplifier," Shi Mian said, turning his head and looking at the experts behind him, "Where is the mind amplifier? How long will it take to complete the start-up and debugging?"

"Here, but I estimate that it will take 15 minutes at the fastest," a scientist pointed to the thinking amplifier placed at the end of the hall, "15 minutes is still the time when there is no abnormality. For safety reasons, we cannot use Enterovirus intrusion and tampering systems are tested for safety, although we have optimized many systems of the thinking amplifier later, it still takes a lot of time to check all these systems at once.”

After listening, Shi Mian frowned, but in the end he didn't say much, and asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"

"No, I don't need your help...Maybe you can adapt to its environment before we complete the mind amplifier? For example, lying down..."

"You guys are busy first. I'll go out and start calling me." After confirming that there were no traces of monsters or flesh and blood organizations in the thought link hall, Zheng Zhenghao's task was basically completed, so he asked the person in the conversation Shi Mian waved with the experts, and then walked out of the thought link hall.

------

"I hope this works, what are those things..." After coming out of the thinking connection hall, Zheng Zhenghao sighed rarely, and couldn't help muttering.

At this time, the corridor outside the thinking link hall is no longer as clean and tidy as before. In order to destroy all network connections at the fastest speed, the soldiers even used directional door-breaking bombs, so that the corridor outside the thinking link hall looks like It was as messy as if it had just been in a war.

However, all Zheng Zhenghao's thoughts were on those transparent monsters and flesh and blood tissues. These exposed signal lines and scattered metal wreckage could not attract Zheng Zhenghao's attention at all.

Zheng Zhenghao closed his eyes, took a breath, and slowly exhaled after two or three seconds. However, when Zheng Zhenghao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes immediately stared like copper bells.

In his line of sight, countless translucent blood-red tentacles protruded from the wall at the end of the corridor, wriggling and rippling, and in front of these tentacles, there were a large number of deformed monsters of various shapes, and these monsters were relatively small in size. In addition, it is almost exactly the same as the monster that split out from the underground brood of Huanglong Mansion back then!

What made Zheng Zhenghao even more flustered was that he found that, unlike the nearly 80% transparent monster he found on the way here, the monster that appeared in front of him at this time

"They are coming!" Zheng Zhenghao's roar suddenly attracted everyone's attention, "Those transparent monsters are approaching! The whole corridor is everywhere!"

"Prepare for battle!" After hearing Zheng Zhenghao's warning, Shi Mian, who was lying on the thinking amplifier waiting for the device to be adjusted, immediately sat up, and then trot all the way to the outermost edge of the corridor. When passing by Huang Ke, Shi Mian Don't forget to turn your head and order.

When he arrived at Zheng Zhenghao's side, Shi Mian quickly turned to the surrounding corridors, but just like before, Shi Mian glanced back and forth in all the corridors several times, but he still couldn't find any living things other than humans.

The soldiers who received the order immediately aimed their guns at the surroundings. Although none of them could find the monster Zheng Zhenghao was talking about, all of them suddenly became nervous.

"Where are those monsters? Are they still in the corridor? Did they disappear immediately after being discovered like before!" Shi Mian suddenly turned to Zheng Zhenghao, the only one among the crowd who could see the monsters, "Are you sure they are approaching us?"

"They're still there, they haven't disappeared! I'm [-]% sure they're approaching us!" Zheng Zhenghao glanced back and forth in several corridors, and said very fast, "And! The walls behind these monsters There is also a translucent thing that looks like a piece of meat! It looks like the meat monster we saw when we solved the mother body in the battle of Huanglongfu!"

"Fire!" Shi Mian ordered decisively.

And following Shi Mian's order, the soldiers guarding outside the thinking connection hall immediately poured countless firepower into the surrounding corridors. In addition to the conventional bullets and grenades of various calibers, they also contained a large number of ultra-pure chrysanthemums. into a special warhead.

"Stop! Let them all stop! These attacks are useless!" However, whether it is bullets or flames, in Zheng Zhenghao's eyes, these powerful weapons in the real world can't hurt the monster in front of him at all, even the surrounding alloy walls They were all covered with bullet holes in the several seconds of attack, but those translucent monsters were still approaching everyone without haste.

"These monsters are not in the real world! Our weapons have no effect on them!" Zheng Zhenghao stared at these monsters bathed in the hail of bullets, his expression becoming more and more ugly.

"Wait! I saw it too!" However, just as Shi Mian was about to issue a ceasefire order, Huang Ke's call came from the outermost perimeter of the defense line, "I saw the walls of the corridor turn red! The situation described by Zheng Zhenghao very similar!"

And Huang Ke's report seemed to be a switch, and many people in the team also discovered the monsters in the corridor one after another, but even so, the bullets of the human coalition forces still couldn't pose a substantial threat to these monsters that didn't have physical bodies yet. .

"It's the original enterovirus! It may want to make the mother body appear in our world!" Zheng Zhenghao guessed, "I have never understood how the mother body appeared in Huanglong Mansion before. If I guessed correctly, the situation at that time was very likely Just like now, after accumulating enough energy, the protovirus in a certain high-level mutant will directly 'project' it into our world."

"How is this possible?" An accompanying thinking world expert doubted, "Changing the environment and creating life out of thin air? Can the original enterovirus really do it?"

"The original enterovirus can turn a [-]-kilogram human into a giant beast of tens of thousands of tons in a few hours. What's the point of 'creating' a monster matrix in the real world? As long as it has enough energy, what else can it do?" To?" Zheng Zhenghao's tone at this time was a little irritable, "Don't forget! I have already reported it since I first arrived in this world! All the planetary engines of the coalition government have 'holes' for releasing energy! This The level of energy enrichment in the world has long been much higher than that of Huanglong Mansion!"

"No! The original enterovirus is definitely not that powerful!" Shi Mian was the first to calm down. He stared at a corridor in front of him. If energy can complete creation, why didn't it turn the entire planet into a world full of monsters from the very beginning? This shows what conditions must be required for the original enterovirus to 'project' a monster that does not belong to this world into this world! Zheng Zhenghao, quickly think about what the conditions are! Under what circumstances did the monsters descend in the Yellow Dragon Mansion!"

At this time, Zheng Zhenghao's eyes were fixed on the monsters that were getting closer and closer to the bloody walls that gradually spread towards the human team, and he notified the movements of the monsters to the surrounding human soldiers in real time. The guards are gradually shrinking the line of defense.

Although human weapons can't hurt these monsters for the time being, no one wants to know what will happen after being approached by these monsters.

It is really not an easy task to think about countermeasures in such an environment, Zheng Zhenghao could only try his best to recall every detail of the underground of Huanglong Mansion and today's experiment, and suddenly his eyes widened: "I know! Computational power! The arrival of these monsters must require computing power!"

"Before I was a mutant and hadn't recovered my human consciousness, I remembered that my command network was offline for a short time! And my human consciousness was restored shortly after the command network came back! That monster mother body is probably in At that time, it appeared using the computing power of my command network!

"It's the same this time! All the abnormalities in the real world appeared after this monster invaded our system! It must be borrowing our computing power!"

"Huang Ke, has the network connection in the Mind Link Hall been cut off?"

"All have been cut off according to the order! Before Zheng Zhenghao found out that we were surrounded..." Huang Ke was stunned suddenly. Just now a monster suddenly disappeared transparently in front of him, but before the monster disappeared Before, Huang Ke clearly saw that half of the monster's body was shattered by a bullet fired by someone who did not know!

It wasn't just Huang Ke who saw this scene, almost everyone felt their hearts were tightened instantly.

These monsters are likely to descend on the real world soon!

"Huang Ke, send someone to check! Make sure everything..."

"No! Chief! That's not the problem! We missed one of the most critical things!" Huang Ke's face became extremely ugly at this time, "We didn't check the status of the computing center! If the original enterovirus comes to the real world If one of the conditions is computing power, the comrades at the computing center will also provide a lot of computing power to the original enterovirus!"

"Impossible!" Shi Mian and Zheng Zhenghao were stunned for a moment, and another scientist who had participated in the mind connection experiment instinctively denied, "The computing power of the computing center was directly provided to Morishita Eri! And before we came I also contacted the computing center, and checked the monitoring and various data readings, but found nothing..."

"Go to his *monitor!" Zheng Zhenghao suddenly cursed loudly, while cursing, he ran to the computing center not far from the thinking connection hall without looking back, "Our system has been invaded! Since the virus can interfere with our communication signal, it can also interfere with our video signal! We are all played by it!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, the faces of the others also turned ashen. After asking Huang Ke to lead the team to stay where they were, and to always pay attention to the status of the two girls in the thinking connection hall, Shi Mian led several other The staff chased Zheng Zhenghao.

And when Shi Mian came to the position of the computing center, the metal gate more than 30 centimeters behind the computing center had been forcefully smashed open with a gap nearly two meters high, and traces of fresh blood ran along the gap on the gate. shed.

Outside the gate, more than a dozen guards and staff members of the human coalition fell to the ground in horror. One of the guards lay down beside the wall, and above his head was the alarm of the computing center. At this time, the alarm The glass dome above has been completely smashed, but no alarm has been sent to the control center.

"They're still alive!" A staff member who was originally following Shi Mian bypassed Shi Mian at this time, and quickly ran to the guard closest to him, turned the guard over and performed a simple After the inspection, he looked up and said.

"But their expressions are very painful, like..." Another female staff member also trotted to his side at this time, seeing the guard's wide eyes, this woman only felt her body shivering, " It's like having a nightmare."

"We have no time to waste," Shi Mian straightened the guard in front of the siren, then stepped over his body and strode into the computing center, "Leave a group of people watching here, and the rest continue follow me."

In Shi Mian's eyes, in the flickering operation hall, most of the volunteers had already passed out like the guards outside the door, but unlike the guards who were lying all over the door, all the volunteers were killed. Securely settled in the seat, as if they were taking a nap.

However, in Zheng Zhenghao's eyes, the entire computing center looked quite different. The walls, floors, ceilings, and surfaces of all facilities in the room were covered with dark red throbbing flesh and blood vessels. It became a lair of flesh and blood.

And the volunteers in these organizations began to show signs of mutation more or less in their bodies. Some small limbs or deformed organs protruded from their backs and abdomens, looking like those who lived underground in Huanglong Mansion back then. Those monsters that failed experiments.

"You are finally here."

Just when Zheng Zhenghao felt angry and disgusted by the scene in front of him, a weak voice suddenly came from inside the computing center. Zheng Zhenghao looked around and saw a man whose body was almost covered with sarcoma sitting at a table. On the ground, a rotten tentacle grew from his left shoulder and covered his face. The half of his face covered by the tentacles had completely turned into a festering muscle with blood bubbles, and the remaining half of his face was also at this time. Full of weakness.

"Aiden Pierce, I remember you, your tasks in Lucia and Eastern Europe were accomplished very well," but in Shi Mian's eyes, the man in front of him was just a man covering his face, and he walked towards Aiden. Past, asking, "What's going on here?"

"There was an accident in the experiment," Aiden said, still covering his head, his voice sounded extremely hoarse, and every few words would make a grunt that seemed to be squeezed out of a rotten throat, "just Ten minutes after the computing power provider was changed to Morishita Eri, many of us experienced symptoms of nausea and retching, and some of us, including me, even saw ourselves vomit some kind of transparent flesh.”

As Aiden told, Zheng Zhenghao found that the tentacles and other deformed tissues attached to Aiden began to move faster as if they had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation. With the changes of these deformed bodies, Aiden's face was already in pain. His expression also became more distorted.

"And as more people developed symptoms, many people also began to grow deformed bodies. At first, it was just some granulation growing from the skin, but soon these granulation turned into weird limbs or tentacles. I started I thought that what I saw was hallucinations, but the pain of these tentacles tearing my body was too real, so real that I dare not take them as hallucinations." Although describing what didn't happen in the laboratory made Aiden extremely painful, he did not He didn't stop reporting, "These pieces of meat are mutating so fast that even our experts have spread to the entire computing center before they can come up with countermeasures."

"Wait, didn't you try to contact the control center, or report the situation directly to the guards and expert team outside the image?" At this moment, a casual scientist couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's the same as the troops outside the thinking connection hall. It's because all the signals have been cut off," Shi Mian stared at Aiden. After the accident, considering Aiden Pierce's current extremely painful performance, Shi Mian has reason to believe that this kind of mutation must have occurred in Aiden Pierce.

However, Shi Mian did not show any abnormality, and still asked calmly, "Why are you the only one who is still awake when the other people in the computing center fainted?"

"Because after fainting, the speed of changes in the body will slow down." Aiden was propped on the table at this time, and seemed to want to stand up. Seeing this, Shi Mian immediately stepped forward to help, but when Shi Mian touched Aiden's In the palm of my hand, there is a feeling of holding something greasy, "There was a poor guy who chose to hit the wall by himself because he couldn't bear the physical pain, and finally knocked himself out. Mutation speed is at least [-]% slower than others."

Although this greasy touch made Shi Mian feel uncomfortable instinctively, he still held Aiden Pierce's hand and did not let go until Aiden completely stood still.

"So they all fainted themselves?" the previous staff member asked curiously.

Aiden pulled the corner of his mouth on half of his face, showing an ugly smile: "Some of them believed me and made themselves dizzy - there are enough narcotics and sleeping pills in it, it doesn't have to hit the wall, and the other part doesn't believe it Me, so I knocked this part of the crowd out."

"This...how did you do it? You are just a network engineer! Among the remaining volunteers, there are many soldiers and veterans who have conducted mind connection experiments!"

"Aiden Pierce was able to sneak into New Britain's National Aeronautics and Space Administration to steal data by himself. It is not surprising that he can control the situation," Shi Mian interrupted the staff member's inquiry, although he did not directly criticize it. But he gave the staff a warning look, and then looked at Aiden Pierce again, "Compared to this, I want to know why you have been sober. You know very well..."

"It's very clear that staying awake may turn me into a monster." Aiden smiled at Shi Mian with half of his face. Although his face was twisted into a ball due to pain, Shi Mian could still barely recognize It's a smile, "But someone has to tell you what's going on here... isn't it?"

"Your task has been completed," Aiden Pierce's explanation made Shi Mian's mood very complicated. "The remaining tasks... are ours."

"Received... Chief." Aiden Pierce shook his body, then fell backwards, "Please be sure..."

Aiden closed his eyes before he finished speaking, Shi Mian took a step forward, trying to catch Aiden, but there was someone who was faster than him.

Zheng Zhenghao, who was still a few meters away from Aiden Pierce, caught him from behind Aiden at a speed that most people could not catch with the naked eye, and carefully lifted him onto the table.

Afterwards, Zheng Zhenghao put his finger under Aiden's nose, and leaned over to listen to Aiden's heartbeat: "He's fine, he just passed out."

Shi Mian was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He walked up to Aiden, glanced at Aiden who still had a painful expression even though he was in a coma, and turned to Zheng Zhenghao: "What conclusion do you have?"

"It is certain that the original enterovirus is borrowing the computing power of these volunteers," Zheng Zhenghao said affirmatively, "From the perspective of time, the abnormalities in Aiden Pierce and the others appeared earlier than the laboratory function became unstable. This is likely to be the impact of the original enterovirus invading the real world, and if we think about it further, the abnormalities on the volunteers are likely to be the original enterovirus trying to transform them into a form more suitable for them."

"Why does the original enterovirus stop reforming after coma?" Shi Mian continued to ask, "I remember that according to the rules we have concluded for the thinking world, people's consciousness should be more resistant to the erosion of the original enterovirus when they are awake. .”

"That's the erosion in the thinking world, and now it's more like a kind of pollution of the thinking world to the real world," as Aiden Pierce said, Zheng Zhenghao found that after he fell into a coma, the twisted body on his body instantly became more It was a little bit transparent, which made Zheng Zhenghao more sure of his judgment, "I don't know exactly how the original enterovirus transforms energy into matter out of thin air, but no matter what, computing power must be involved."

"I guess, for those comatose people, the difficulty of the original enterovirus to contaminate them with its own information is on the same level as spreading rumors out of thin air on the walls and ceilings, and the computing power required is absolutely a terrifying figure. "

"For people who are still awake, as long as the original enterovirus makes these people 'believe' that they are mutating, it is equivalent to gaining volunteers in addition to the computing power possessed by the original enterovirus. With its own recognition and computing power assistance, it will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"I understand." Shi Mian nodded, and after keeping all Zheng Zhenghao's speculations in his heart, he turned the topic back to the most critical issue at present, "What can we do now?There are still a few computing centers. Can putting all the volunteers in a coma stop the invasion of the original enterovirus into the real world? "

"Maybe it can be delayed quietly, but it can't be stopped," Zheng Zhenghao denied, "All of them are already in the thinking network, even if they faint, the computing power they provide will only be a little less, and will not disappear completely. The only way to stop the contamination of the original enterovirus is..."
