Chapter 343: Three Gravitational Layers
I put my finger on the trigger but couldn't press it, and I couldn't do anything to kill my companion directly, especially if my companion was under the control of the enemy.
But there are more teammates out there who are facing death threats, am I allowing the purpose of creation to succeed for the sake of the person in front of me?
The answer is no! Once Genesis successfully launches its weapon, not only will we not survive, but the Earth will also suffer from its attack. Although we do not yet know where it is targeting, there must be many innocent people who have suffered misfortune. The cost of any is far greater than a person's life.
I looked at that person, whether it was Gu Nan or not, I could only say silently in my heart: I'm sorry! Then, without hesitation, I pulled the trigger continuously, and a series of white lights flew towards the protective ball with my anger.
The heavy fire made a big gap in the ball, and all four octopuses in front of the bullet were shattered. The railgun's rate of fire didn't give the four-legged octopuses a chance to make up for the hole, and after penetrating the protective layer, they continued to fly towards the cylinder.
I don't know if Genesis can calculate that I will shoot at my own person, that person is still in front of the bullet that flies first, "poof", the bullet passed through the chest without hindrance, the person's body shook, and a bright red immediately oozed from his chest.
The piercing bullet continued to hit the cylinder behind the man. Immediately afterward, more bullets followed, all hitting the cylinder. Three of the shots pierced the man's body.
The man's snow-white spacesuit was mostly stained with blood, and the red was particularly dazzling. The corners of my eyes twitched, and anyone with such an injury would definitely not survive.
I can't describe the mood at this moment, pain, sadness, depression, anger, in short, a mixture of complex emotions that makes people almost crazy.
And the pillar that had been shot several times in a row, originally with many flowing lights on it, began to flicker indiscriminately, and from time to time there were electric currents splashing around.
Suddenly, I noticed that the entire space around me began to deform and distort, and a pressure fell from the sky, and not only me, but even the four-legged octopuses that were spliced together fell downward like collapsed building blocks.
It turned out to be gravity, and my body fell sharply as if it were falling from a high altitude. I secretly screamed that it was not good, and I didn't know how deep it was, so I just fell straight down, and I had to fall to my death.
Those metal four-legged octopuses weighed more than me, and they fell much faster than I did, and in a moment they disappeared into the darkness below.
The space I'm in is weird, with a spherical area of light centered on that platform. Including the protective ball that I made with the four-legged octopus, we were all in this ball of light just now. I could see everything inside the orb, but I didn't know where the light source came from.
Light and darkness are separated by a wall of air, and the outside of the ball of light is completely shrouded in darkness, forming two independent special spaces, one light and one dark, one inside and one outside. What's even more peculiar is that the light can't penetrate the darkness, and the darkness can't swallow the light, forming this strange vision of opposites and coexistence.
Now that the cylinder has been destroyed by me, the gravity-free space suddenly generates gravity, which is a strange phenomenon that I never expected. It stands to reason that these two situations should occur in opposite order.
Wrong! I suddenly thought of another possibility, this space was originally a gravity space, and the gravityless space I was in was actually another creation of that cylinder. It was because I damaged the weightless system that caused the original gravity to be restored.
There is no gravity in space, and the spacecraft is created with simulated gravity, and in the simulated gravity, Genesis has created a small piece of gravity-free space alone, which is one ring after another, and actually forms three gravity layers.
It's so complicated, I can't think of a reason for it for a while, and these thoughts just flash in my head. The immediate priority is to find a way not to let yourself be thrown to death.
I turned on all the thrusters on the spacesuit and adjusted them to maximum power to slow down my fall. In my busy schedule, I also took a look at the floating platform and found that the person who had been shot had fallen to the ground covered in blood. Sparks were still crackling on the cylinder, and black smoke was coming out in several places.
But I was surprised that the recovered gravity didn't cause the platform to fall, which was a bit of a surprise.
The effect of the thrusters is still obvious, and the momentum of the fall has eased a lot, but I know that I am still falling at a uniform acceleration, and when the energy of my spacesuit is exhausted, I will still be thrown to death, and I can only hope that it is not too deep below.
Gradually, I approached the edge of light and darkness, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because I didn't know what was hidden in the darkness.
Inadvertently, I glanced in the direction of the hovering platform, only to stumble upon something. It was a very inconspicuous slender pillar that stood just below that platform.
It suddenly dawned on me that the platform was not floating in the air, no wonder gravity had no effect on it. But it doesn't matter to me anymore, and when I discover this mystery, man also falls into the darkness beneath my feet.
This is really the feeling of one step of heaven and one step of hell, just now it was bright in front of me, and when it fell into the darkness, it was as if it was blindfolded, and it was pitch black.
"!" I cursed. This is the first time I don't know how many times I've exploded, and it's really unpleasant to feel that everything is out of my control, and I can't even figure it out.
I checked the energy indicator on the spacesuit, and there was less than 20% left. I've used thrusters before, which consumes some of my energy, but when I turn the power up to the maximum, it consumes even faster. It is estimated that if I persist for another two minutes at most, the energy will be completely zero, and I will have no choice at all.
I can't solve the problem of energy, so I just don't bother with that brain and leave it to fate.
There are a few other things that worry me! Is that cylinder that I destroyed really the essence of creation? I was hit by the railgun and smoked, and I was disrupted by the gravity-free response, did I stop the weapon from firing?
What I want to know most now is to know the answers to these questions.
I was thinking wildly in my head, and suddenly I touched the real thing under my feet, and I was caught off guard, and I suddenly fell to the ground.
I was first shocked, and then secretly rejoiced that this was the end. Fortunately, the energy has not been exhausted, and it seems that this time I was lucky enough to pick up a life.
Quickly turned off the thrusters, and seeing that there was still some energy left, I turned on the lighting on my body. Compared to thrusters, lighting equipment is very energy-efficient, and the existing storage is enough to support dozens of hours.
But when I got up and looked around, my heart suddenly sank.
I was glad I didn't fall to my death just now, but I forgot about this group of guys. I saw the four-legged octopuses that fell down with me, piled up not far in front of me at the moment. Most of them are stacked on top of each other like small hills. A small number of them were scattered around, struggling to get up.
This place is not to stay for long!
I wanted to get out of here, but I was surrounded by darkness and didn't know which way to go. If you don't run far and hit a dead end, it's even more dangerous.
Anyway, let's get out of here, maybe the darkness will hide my tracks. I saw that quite a few four-legged octopuses were already on their feet, so I turned and ran.
I had just taken two steps before I stopped again. Because I noticed that the four-legged octopus that had already gotten up was a little strange, and they didn't seem to be interested in me, and when they got up, they all crawled in the opposite direction to me. I had a bright light on me, and I didn't believe these guys didn't know I existed.
As more and more four-legged octopuses stood up, they all behaved in unison, as if they were in a hurry to gather somewhere.
I looked at it for a moment, thinking that the four-legged octopuses were behaving too strangely, and after a moment's hesitation, I slowly turned around and dared to approach the guys.
As I thought, these guys had another purpose, and they crawled towards their destination as if I didn't exist. I was a little bolder, quickened my pace, and followed.
These four-legged octopuses crawled very fast, and almost all of them, except for those who broke and could no longer move, headed in one direction. The more I looked, the more strange I became, and I didn't know where they were going. Since I am left to ignore the enemy in front of me, it means that they have a more important mission, and if they don't do it, they are going to create the world.
Not long after walking, the guys stopped, and formed a dense circle. I stopped not far away and looked into the circle they had formed, and saw a large circular crater in the ground, and as for what was inside, I could not see because of the angle and the distance of the lighting.
However, I soon realized that the size of this pit was obviously similar to the suspended platform above, and it seemed that the platform should have risen from this hole. These four-legged octopuses came for nothing other than to protect the hole.
It's getting more and more interesting!
At this moment, I faintly heard the sound of a machine running, and I was wondering, and suddenly I remembered the slender pillar I had seen under the platform. If my guess is correct, this sound must be the movement that drove the pillar down. Sure enough, just as I thought, the platform came out of this hole.
Creation is an escape! By the time I realized this, the wide shadow of the platform had already appeared in my field of vision.
The four-legged octopus can also be controlled to protect the platform landing, indicating that the genesis is not destroyed and that it is still running. I picked up my gun and decided to take the risk of running through the protective circle to catch up, and today I swore to kill the creation no matter what.
