Chapter Thirty-Nine: Unknown Darkness
Worm Island begins to move.
The mainland attaches great importance to Worm Island, and the importance of the Zerg base for the mainland is self-evident, if the research can continue, the biotechnology field can at least take a super shortcut, shortening the arduous journey of a thousand years!
In order to ensure the safety of Worm Island, when Worm Island moved, the mainland headquarters sent four aircraft carrier battle groups to escort it. Foreign warships differ from those on the mainland. The battleships were made of both local and foreign advanced materials. They are mainly first-generation warships. The elite part was replaced by second-generation warships. They pick large warships at random and easily destroy large aircraft carrier battle groups on the mainland. The difference in combat effectiveness is only a natural one.
The speed of this island is not very fast. It lasts ten or eight days, but it can also cover long distances. The outside world is empty and vast, and the ghost tree is also preparing to be planted, plus there are several shielded islands in the Zerg base, which will not be discovered by the scouts, unless the luck is extremely bad, the probability of being hit by other troops is very low.
Even though the island is moving, the people on the island don't feel it.
Lei and Long Hao warned everyone: "Don't let go, because there is danger in the process of island movement, we must be vigilant and always ready to fight!"
The fat man didn't understand, "Is there any danger in moving this island?"
Lei Ming carefully explained: "Yes, the danger is not small! The environment of the outer world is not spotless. There are places with special dangers that cannot be observed with the naked eye and cannot be detected by detectors. They can only be distinguished by the surrounding reference objects. In addition, there are often energy storms and space storms outside, and these disasters are also difficult to observe with the naked eye. In case we cross the edge and get caught, we'll die. ”
Long Hao added: "Another point is very important. This island can be very conspicuous when moving. At this time, if there is a clever race scout who has just swept over our pawns, we are immediately exposed. In addition, we need to guard against extraterrestrial ferocious beasts and creatures born in alien environments. In terms of biological structure, there is a huge difference from the organisms we are familiar with. Perhaps there are special detection methods that can detect islands that move tens of thousands of kilometers away. It's because these things have strange abilities that we're more difficult to deal with. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
"Then cheer up!"
Jowell sat in the newly renovated pavilion and yawned. She said to Zhang Tong nearby, "You guys are making a big fuss. Empty abroad. There may be nothing in 10 million miles. How can there be so much danger?"
Zhang Tong, who was drinking spiritual tea, said: "There will be a lot of trouble in the process of moving the island. No one likes to move the location of the island if it is not necessary. Most of the dangers that exist outside of China are difficult to see with the naked eye. For example, for low-level civilizations, space bridges, which cannot be detected by any means, send people directly to the edge of the big world. ”
Leng Yun's side also said: "Yes, this big world is not as big as our previous cosmic world, not even a galaxy, but it is still hundreds of thousands of light years away. The edge of the big world must be a very distant place, where it will be more desolate than the virtual world, or just a place of death that we cannot live in. ”
A galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light-years and a center thickness of 12,000 light-years, the space of this large world is much smaller, about a thousand light-years in diameter. Even so, it's an unimaginably super fear. The edge of the world must be very desolate and deadly silent.
Even if one or two small worlds were born in that place, because the distance between them is too long, and the differences in nature are so great, it must be incomprehensible if life or civilization could be conceived in them.
The island gradually accelerates its movement.
The sky was covered with stars, almost identical, like a still, immobile background, with only one or two whirlpools close at hand, fading away, or covered with the dust of the void, and the island was not well lit and began to dim and dark.
"We need to find a place with proper light and a safe environment!"
"We must guard against other civilizations or unstable speeds of sound, and it's better not to get too close to the vortex in space!"
"Don't worry, no problem!"
In the last few days or so, the island had accelerated to a fairly fast speed, and with the escort of the continental fleet, the entire voyage had been almost swept by the flow of energy on a few occasions, and there was almost no danger encountered.
On about the fourth day, the island suddenly began to slow down.
Everyone could clearly feel the deceleration, as it was so fast that it caused a gust of air on the island and a series of chain reactions. Suddenly, there was a strong wind everywhere, which made people unstable.
"Very close, very close!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Tong asked the person in charge of controlling the island.
"There's a world maelstrom ahead of me, and I'm almost in it!"
"Whirlpools?"
Zhang Tong looked up at the sky. Now the island is dark. It's also dark outside. There was no light at all. The whole world seems to be covered in a black cloth. This environment is a bit strange.
"It's a world with only dark elements, which is very special! The dark elements themselves have hidden features, so the dark world doesn't emit light. If not detected early, it could crash directly into the edge of the world maelstrom and be torn to shreds in an instant by the forces of space-time. ”
"So what should I do?"
"Because the Dark World Vortex is more attractive than the Normal World Vortex, we slow down and move forward to have more time to measure the range and size of the Dark World Vortex, choose the best route and go around. ”
Zhang Tong was lucky to have the mainland headquarters to escort the immigrants. Otherwise, the island would have fallen into the maelstrom of the world, and he didn't know how he died.
The plane on which the continent is located was originally located on the edge of the spiritual world. As a result, strange worlds and strange lives often appear. Even if it does, it's not a strange thing. Zhang Tong felt relieved to see that the people at the mainland headquarters were calm.
About five or six hours passed.
The island emerges smoothly from the whirlpool of the dark world. The sky seems to be split in half, half covered with stars and half bright swirls. The other side is darker than ink. If you look closely, you'll see that the darkness is slowly flowing. This is the vortex effect of the space-time energy that makes up the world.
"I don't know what kind of matter and life would be born in such a world of pure darkness. ”
Zhang Tong couldn't help but suspect that if he could enter this small world from the whirlpool, he would definitely reach an even older world, starting from hundreds of millions of years ago, that is, darkness, never light, because there was no other element, and it was even more impossible to see a bright black world, like a bottomless abyssal world.
I don't know what kind of dark matter or dark creatures will thrive in it.
Of course, there are millions of small worlds in the big world, most of which are lifeless and there is not even any ignorance. The continent has only reached the second generation of technology and does not have the ability to develop this small world. At the edge of this dark world, there is a large amount of rare dark matter floating.
Dark matter is so pure that its value is definitely not low!
It's just that he wasn't sure about safety, and Zhang Tong didn't dare to rashly release Skynet worms to collect. Zhang Mo didn't have many third-generation insect boats. In the future, he can hack several Bug Collector ships so that he can enter the vortex of space and collect precious alien matter. The island was attached to the Dark Vortex, and it didn't take long for it to leave the Dark Vortex.
Just when everyone thinks it's okay.
Suddenly.
A warship protecting the island suddenly changed direction and opened fire on another ship. A powerful magic-guided gun came at you and hit the ship directly. Without any precautions, the barrier was directly broken and concentrated in the center of the ship. The ship violently exploded into several pieces. Many of the burning debris was captured by the location of the island and fell in the direction of the mountain.
Everyone was amazed!
"What's wrong, has the ship been hijacked by an unknown creature?"
There was no response from everyone, and several other ships lost control without any justification or warning. Suddenly, they opened fire like friendly ships. It was very sudden and confusing. However, the ground or air is in contact with the space-time warship. The ships were all normal, with no signs of being hijacked by other creatures. They are indeed the drivers of the continent and take the initiative to turn on their weapons and attack their own people.
In such a short time, about six or seven battleships were destroyed.
Because the scene was a bit chaotic, it was impossible to judge for a while what spaceship was out of control, which led to the direct dispersion of the fleet, and between different warships, no one could trust each other. Zhang Tong believes that the losses have become severe. Drivers don't attack their own people for no reason. There seems to be only one explanation for this situation. There are people who control their minds and then manipulate them to attack their own people.
If it really exists, it must be very powerful. But beyond the void, thousands of miles away, there was a target of spiritual power control, and his realm was at least a grade with the top existences of the Void Emperor. There are not many such numbers in the world. It will not be easy to destroy the Continental Union and humanity by any means. Why use such a troublesome means?
"Be careful, everyone!"
Zhang Tong ran over and shouted.
More than 10,000 nationalities soon came together, but then the unexpected happened. There was a soldier who suddenly attacked his companion next to him like crazy, and because there was no protection, a powerful set of skills was directly cast, killing the opponent in an instant.
This is just the beginning.
One... Two... Three... More and more companions are losing control and, most importantly, they don't know what's going on.
