Liquids can change shape at will. This is a property that no solid can possess.

They devour everything mercilessly, enveloping everything they come across within their range. Cells are dividing faster than ever, not even a single screw has been spared. Computers, oxygen generators, solar panels, core weapon systems, self-mediating laser emitters, energy conversion devices...... "gravy" is like a hungry beast that never knows what satisfaction is, rampage through the space station. They roar and revel, trampling and taking over everything they deem valuable.

They have intelligence and know where electricity must be supplied and where it must be insulated. "Gravy" carefully bypasses the most dangerous sections, exercising control over its prey with a mouth-watering fineness and discretion.

This is Liao Qiu's ability. In his thinking space, the same pattern ring of "flowing ripples" as Zheng Xiaoyue was lit. However, the abilities derived from this are completely different from Zheng Xiaoyue. Liao Qiu's fluid flow comes from inside his body. He can control the entire space station through "gravy" to control the machinery made of metal.

It's who I am, and I'm who I am.

Extremely powerful power was concentrating in Liao Qiu's body. It was a nerve center that was re-formed by connecting to the central computer of the space station. "Gravy" is not a madman who kills his prey when he gets it, nor is it a perverted devil who brutally hunts all his prey in pursuit of achievement. They surround their prey, just to control it, so as to obtain and transfer the special abilities possessed by the prey, strengthen themselves, and at the same time, make the prey bow down to them and obey orders honestly.

After occupying the entire space station, they begin to return.

Liao Qiu's body was reshaped, rising little by little on the ground.

From the head down, a completely new central system is being formed.

Liao Qiu felt that a lot of metal components had been added to his body, and his bones had become stronger and stronger than before. Returning the "gravy" from space already has intelligence, or should it be said that the effect of mutant cells is generated. They have the ability to think, and are considering how to modify themselves as a host.

This is actually quite normal behavior. Any virus wants its parasitic object to become strong. Only in this way can the stability and safety of the parasitic environment be ensured.

The shoulder appeared.

A spine glowing with a silvery-white metallic sheen rose from the ground. The mutated cells have a sense of contact with Liao Qiu's brain, they know Liao Qiu's fears, and understand that Liao Qiu wants to know more secrets. The image on the large screen directly in front of him suddenly shifted, and a mirror-like projection appeared.

They controlled the cameras inside the space station and filmed the transformation process from different positions. Looking at the live situation on the big screen that was divided into nine different screens, Liao Qiu opened his mouth slightly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his heart was full of indescribable shock.

The main bones of the arms, legs, and feet begin to generate. They are not the white they used to be, but have a special metallic sheen. For a few seconds, Liao Qiu felt that he might turn into a robot, and he didn't know if he still had calcium in his body. The brain then receives a message from the mutant cells. They tell themselves not to panic———— they are still carbon-based, and that protein is still the main component of the body. Of course, the metal elements from the space station of the universe also enter the body, strengthening everything.

Liao Qiu suddenly remembered the very old cartoon "Popeye".

It seems that I will never have to eat spinach in the future.

Ribs and internal organs are generated at almost the same time. The substance added by the body is only metal, and the basic components of protein are not destroyed. Yes, Liao Qiu is a box of "Lego" toys that can be assembled and disassembled. He dissolves and decomposes, and reassembles. There is no loss of muscle fibers, and the skin is not broken at all. The mutant cells are just modifications to the weaknesses in his body, especially some key parts, which are outrageously strong.

Feeling that his body could move, when he lowered his head, Liao Qiu saw that the male genitalia in the middle of his legs were emitting bright light. That thing wasn't a light bulb, and of course it couldn't be a light source. In fact, that's because it's too bright, too smooth, resulting in the brightness of the emitted. It's like a disgusting stainless steel casting, even the thick black hair that was densely surrounded by it has turned into an incomparably dazzling silver.

It's a very weird change.

Liao Qiu curiously flicked it with his fingers and found that it was not as hard as steel as he imagined. The soft collapse is simply in vain.

A peculiar symbol flashed on the surface of the eyeball. It seems to be the Latin word "alpha", and it seems to be the Chinese character "hidden". The symbol slowly grew smaller and sunk deeper into the depths of the eye. It is not isolated and is growing in number. Liao Qiu found that these symbols did not come from the outside world, or from the reflection on the electronic screen. Rather, it comes from within one's own body and belongs to the projection of the central nervous system. All symbols are obverse, not mirrored. They flash inside the eyeballs and carry an extremely large amount of information.

It is the information of the main control computer of the space station.

The reshaping of the body by "gravy" has been completed.

Liao Qiu felt that he had become taller than before. About three centimeters, maybe more. The source should be the metallic material inside the space station. They are mine, everything is mine.

This feeling becomes more and more pronounced when you put on your clothes.

Raising his right hand, Liao Qiu was surprised to find that all the mechanical equipment in the space station would move according to his heart. They seem to have life, and they are the most loyal soldiers under their command.

Mechanical control, that's my ability.

The Earth observation footage outside the space station is constantly changing, locking onto the ground. Images are constantly refined on the screen, and Liao Qiu sees the city from the air, and sees the gray squares representing the buildings.

There is Xichang. It is also the place where you set off on a launch vehicle.

An impulse swelled dramatically in my head.

I'm going back.

I have to go back!

There's so much more to do.

It is necessary to return to the team as soon as possible, back to the midst of friends.

Without the slightest attachment, Liao Qiu supported the computer console with both hands, turned around and floated towards the passage of the main control compartment of the rocket.

Zhang Mei sat quietly in her chair, where she slept forever.

There was no need for any manual operation, and as Liao Qiu's mind moved, the connection channel that had been included in the control was quickly closed. There was a slight tremor in the cabin, and when the porthole was closed, Liao Qiu saw that the space station was moving away from him, becoming a shrinking white point of light on the background of the black universe.

Liao Qiu found that she no longer needed to wear a spacesuit. This is the message that the mutant cells transmit to the brain.

He did not directly change the landing site of the escape pod preset to Xichang, but shifted the coordinates a little on the basis of the original northwest region and changed it to a position very close to the northwest base.

Liao Qiu had a feeling that there was something waiting for him at the northwest base. Going to that place will help Liu Tianming and his team much more than going directly to Xichang.

This is a judgment from the brain and a warning from the mutant cells. They rarely agree on the same thing, and even become the common domination of Liao Qiu's physical behavior.

The shell-shaped escape pod entered the atmosphere, provoking a flaming red light during the high-speed fall.

Liao Qiu hugged Zhang Mei's corpse tightly, his face calm.

Even if he died, Liao Qiu felt that there was nothing to regret.

The escape pod, which had been swallowed by the "gravy", no longer needed to be operated manually, and when it fell to a specified altitude, a parachute ejected from the tail of the escape pod. A beautiful white flower appeared in the sky, with a heavy pendant, melodiously falling down.

The moment he pushed open the heavy hatch, Liao Qiu felt the warmth from the sun. It wasn't the unbearable heat I had endured in space at all, but the incomparably comfortable warmth that shone on the surface of my body in the cold winter season.

Picking up Zhang Mei's body from the escape pod and taking off the helmet on the spacesuit, Liao Qiu stroked her face with trembling fingers and sobbed lowly.

The crash site is not the Gobi Desert, which was once set, but a grassland with severe desertification. There's at least a patch of green here, but I don't know how long it will last.

Digging a pit with a simple tool, Liao Qiu carefully put Zhang Meiping in it. He combed the deceased's hair, put on his helmet, and looked at Zhang Mei with his hands crossed in front of him, Liao Qiu couldn't help but feel sour at the corners of his eyes. He struggled to control the urge to cry, and slowly covered the surface of Zhang Mei's body with the first handful of sand.

A small mound soon formed on the ground.

There were no tombstones, and the graves were filled with a few bouquets of wildflowers that Liao Qiu had picked from nearby. Yellow and white flowers sway in the breeze, as if representing the passing of good things.

Liao Qiu took out his backpack and weapon from the escape pod and stood silently in front of the grave, standing for a long time.

It's better to be dead!

Don't worry about anything, don't do anything.

However, it is not a kind of happiness to be alive.

Especially when you have experienced being loved by others and understand that there are some things in this world that can never be given up, you will truly understand the preciousness of life.

Liao Qiu wanted to say something.

Searching his stomach and intestines, he found that he couldn't say a word.

There is no need for any solemn words, no earth-shattering oaths, as long as you live seriously, it is the best reward for Sister Zhang.

She wanted me to live, and she used her last life to support me on this path.

I will give up hatred, and I will no longer hold grudge against my parents who abandoned me in the first place. Although the virus is raging in this world, there is still affection and love.

With his right hand gripping the buckle of the assault rifle on his shoulder, Liao Qiu bent down and bowed solemnly towards the grave.

When he turned to leave, his face was no longer hesitant, full of unprecedented determination.

Not far ahead, is the northwest base. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
