Regarding the limitations of the use of psionic powers, Roger said a lot in the text message, and also gave many examples as evidence.

All in all, the use of this ability is a great mental burden on the human body and cannot be maintained for a long time.

Although the members of the Clown Order possess this ability, most of the time, they are used to escape the pursuit of the Alliance, and rarely use it for other things.

This is also why, the Alliance's wanted clowns have always been wanted, often before the arrival of the local security officer, those clowns will disappear inexplicably, in fact, it is just the use of psionic energy to change the spatial structure, so as to achieve a sense of crossing.

And the Alliance's research in the field of psionic energy has not made much progress so far due to the scarcity of experimental individuals.

After reading Roger's reply, Meng Lei has a deeper understanding of the elusive and strange organization of the Joker.

At the same time, he also felt an inexplicable uneasiness about the Joker's appearance in Modo City, and he didn't know what the other party wanted.

None of that's the most important thing, though.

At the moment, one is the looming bio-riot, and the other is the clue to the "key".

Compared with the two, the potential threat of the former seems to be greater, and it is a matter of life and death for everyone!

Therefore, as soon as he got up early the next morning, Meng Lei arranged for Serge to hurry up and purchase war supplies in the city, including various types of food and ammunition, in case of emergency.

On the other side, the entourage that entered the city was all dispatched to continue the search for clues about the key in the eastern part of the city.

However, two days passed, and nothing came of it.

Just when Meng Lei almost lost his patience, ready to gather all his troops to prepare for the collapse of the city defense system after the Sea Locust and several other submarines were repaired.

That night, an unexpected turn of events happened.

At two o'clock in the morning, a suspicious person tried to pry open the window of the apartment from the outside and sneaked into room 401.

In the end, he was caught red-handed by the fighters who had been lurking in the house.

After some interrogation and identification, everyone was shocked to find that this guy was really the head of the Security Office who disappeared a few days ago, a member of the Moken family, Grote Moken!

It's just that at this time, Grote Moken was in extremely poor condition, his body shape and appearance were highly distorted, and it seemed that something extremely terrible had happened to him.

And his mental state also had a big problem at this moment, and he completely lost his impression of what happened to him and everything that the investigation team had experienced in Haiyuan.

It can be said that the sudden return to the meltwater apartment tonight is also a certain obsession in his cognition.

Meng Lei was a little disappointed with this result.

I thought that if I found Grote Moken, the clues about the key would be able to be first seen, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and the only survivor of this earthquake investigation team did not have as much value as expected.

As for the connection between the unknown creature that appeared in the apartment room a few days ago, Grote Moken himself could not explain, and he had lost most of his memories.

The next day, Meng Lei originally wanted to keep Grote in his apartment and interrogate him about the earthquake investigation team and Modo City.

However, the sudden disaster came like the end of the world.

At around noon that day, an unprecedented explosion suddenly occurred in the commercial area of Modo City!

No one knew the cause of the explosion, and Meng Lei and the others only realized it a long time later, and there was a great probability that this explosion was the work of the clown organization.

Although Kevin was arrested, no one can guarantee that he has no accomplices.

The appearance of the clown in Modo City is an unusual event in itself, and it is not difficult to guess who started this incident.

As a result of the explosion, the crisis of the fall of Modo City came ahead of schedule.

Under internal and external troubles, this demon capital city standing in the vast darkness of the hydrothermal wasteland was destroyed almost instantaneously.

The unparalleled pressure broke down the sturdy building shell of the commercial district in an instant, and the sea water poured down like a flash flood, and the cold and darkness quickly spread.

In this case, Meng Lei and the others had no time to continue searching for clues about the key.

Surrounded by the chaotic and crowded flow of people, the group rushed to the shipyard area on the outskirts of the city in danger, and finally successfully boarded the ship.

Naturally, there are also Serge and Grote.

The situation was so tense and chaotic that the sea rushed along the gates and the passages between the various areas, the power system collapsed one after another, and the order in the city collapsed.

The Moken family's lockdown order has become a dead letter, the security office itself has been paralyzed, and everyone has fallen into madness in order to survive.

In that case, Serge and Grout could only hug the thighs of Meng Lei and the others, and ran away in a desperate situation, all focusing on saving their lives.

Thankfully, the disaster in the business district takes time to ferment.

When everyone rushed to the shipyard, the disaster did not reach here.

Under the leadership of Meng Lei, everyone drove the submarine to evacuate quickly, and informed Jiangxing City of what was happening at the first time.

At that time, the E-class transport boat piloted by Jiang Xing was still within the safe range of the sea monster riot and was not too seriously threatened.

The crowd converged in the darkness outside the city of Modo, and the fleet finally reunited.

At this time, Modo City had begun to fall on a large scale, and the pirates and bounty hunters stationed in the city, as well as local residents and family members, fled in submarines one after another, and the scene fell into extreme chaos for a while.

Thousands of submarines of all kinds, like swarms of bees stabbed in a honeycomb, quickly left the dock in the darkness and fled in all directions.

However, the bio-riot is only known to some Coalition insiders.

Due to the suddenness of the disaster, the Modo City Security Office did not even have time to announce the threat lurking in the deep sea outside the city.

At a loss, the first batch of submarines that broke through directly collided with the countless sea monsters entrenched outside the city.

When more and more people see the dense and infinite anomalies like a torrent at the edge of the sonar display, it is too late to turn around.

In desperation, he could only launch a charge in despair.

The expeditionary fleet, under the command of Meng Lei, chose the direction with the largest number of people and launched a breakthrough at the same time.

Thanks to the large amount of war supplies they had hoarded before, everyone finally died in the end, and worked together with a group of pirates and bounty hunters, as well as the official escort fleet of Modo City, to fight their way out.

Several E-class exploration boats, which had just been repaired for less than a day, were scarred again after this battle.

And the E-class transport boat, which had been parasitized by thalamic fungi, was even more miserable, almost disintegrating in the boundless darkness of the deep sea on the spot.

Fortunately, the E-class transport boat, which represents the official production level of the Alliance, perfectly demonstrated its durability in extreme conditions, and dragged a badly damaged outer body structure to reach the Barona colony.

Due to the peculiarities of the colony of Barona and the fact that there is only one human city in operation within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the city of Modo.

The thousands of people who escaped from Modo City finally twisted into a rope and turned into a torrent of steel in the darkness of the deep sea, breaking through all the way to the encirclement of the infinite sea monsters, and gathered here.

Here, Meng Lei completed his first transaction with the Discovery Faction of the Separation Organization.

Sold the batch of new eggs on hand to a person in charge of the Alliance's research institute installed by the Explorer faction, and earned a lot of money.

In fact, after Goldfinger completed the upgrade, Meng Lei's way of making money was expanded.

These millions of marks were no longer enough to make him as excited as he was at the beginning.

Indeed, due to the fall of Modo City, the flow of people in the colony of Barona skyrocketed, and this neutral city, which was not bound by the alliance system, became a gold cave on a scale no less than that of Modo City in a short time.

With the tip of the golden finger, in just a few days, Meng Lei relied on various types of gambling industry to make a lot of money, and the account balance jumped directly to tens of millions!

If it weren't for the fear of being remembered by someone with a heart, this number would undoubtedly be higher.

Even so, Meng Lei's fast speed of making money had already stunned Chen Yu, and he was stunned when he sat in the Guiru.

And with the injection of these funds, the development of the Chongming Fleet has also become unstoppable, leaving the major fleets established at the same time, such as the Deep Blue Fleet and the Winter Fleet, far behind, and becoming the leader of Xier City and even the 66671 Channel.

The first non-alliance official fleet!

These changes have taken place in a very short period of time.

By the time Meng Lei left the Barona colony, the overall size of the heavy fleet had changed dramatically.

Not only has the number of members reached an astonishing 7,800 people, which is more than several times more than before, but even the E-class submarines under his command have more than 30 ships, and they truly have the prototype of a qualified fleet that is enough to expand the territory.

Stayed in the colony of Barona for a few days,

During this period, through the introduction of the Exploration Faction of the Separation Organization, Meng Lei got acquainted with some of the more well-known bounty hunters in the nearby seas, and several pirate organizations with relatively good reputations.

In the future, the development of the heavy fleet will not be limited to a certain shipping lane, and it will not be possible to deal only with the alliance side.

Whether it's a pirate or a bounty hunter, it's inevitable that they'll come into contact.

This boundless and dark alien ice ocean is too vast, and the sea under the control of the Alliance is only a corner of the land, in the deepest part of the shallow waterway, far from the jurisdiction of the Alliance's military forces, and is still a paradise for pirates and unofficial organizations.

Getting in touch with these forces as soon as possible and handling relations well is of great significance to the future development of the fleet.

A few days later, when the biological riots in the waters near the colony of Barona subsided, everything returned to normal.

Meng Lei did not stay here for long, and immediately chose to return.

From beginning to end, his heart has always been worried about Enron and those lost contact with the fleet members, if it is not necessary, try not to delay the rescue time.

Even if the key to the core area of the ruins could be unlocked, it seemed to disappear with the fall of Modo City.

But Meng Lei still hopes to rush back as soon as possible and try to find other solutions through the golden finger.

And this time back, the fleet is no longer as lonely as it was when it came.

In order to ensure the safety during the voyage, Meng Lei spent a lot of money to hire a group of bounty hunters to accompany him.

A deep-sea fleet of nearly 50 submarines crossed the hydrothermal wasteland ravaged by sea monsters, and after more than ten days of sailing, during which there were countless battles, at the end of April, they finally arrived in the uncharted sea near the city of Sir, which was also the area of the ruins that were also safely lost.

Along the way, casualties were inevitable, and less than two-thirds of the nearly 50 submarines that set off at the time of departure finally arrived safely at the target location.

It is enough to see how huge the threat posed by space tidal eruptions to the safety factor of the shipping lane!

It is also worth mentioning that with the fall of Modo City, Meng Lei had no hope of finding the "key" at first, and finally appeared in front of Meng Lei's eyes in a jaw-dropping way.

The divination result of the black-robed soothsayer Yin Dis was indeed not wrong in the general direction.

The clue is indeed in the East,

And the so-called keyword "conch" has indeed been fulfilled.

However, what everyone never expected was that the meaning of "conch" does not refer to a certain object, nor is it a conceptual symbol, but a person!

To be exact, a monster infected with some kind of biological aberration, which will uncontrollably transform into a large conch under a certain stimulus!

And this monster is also an important source of spiritual pollution incidents in Modo City!

He's Grote Moken!

The truth about what happened to the earthquake investigation team is now unknown, including Grote himself, who has lost his memory of that part of the experience.

If it weren't for Huo Ye, who was on a night patrol one day, who noticed something strange and watched Grote's distorted limbs grow rapidly like cell proliferation, until they turned into a monster with a spiky shell on its back, everyone wouldn't believe that a living human could have such a terrible body deformation.

Grote himself, on the other hand, is ignorant of his own aberration process and what happened after the mutation.

It seems that during that expedition to the abyss, he was infected with some unknown virus, or some mysterious biological contamination.

In short, now that he himself has become an alien relic, during the distortion of his body, there is a certain probability that he will radiate spiritual pollution similar to that of spiritual relics to the surrounding area.

It's just that this kind of mental pollution is not as serious as it was in Modo City, and it seems that with the passage of time, the source of pollution in Grote's body is gradually dissipating.

Because of this, coupled with Gina's miraculous medical methods, there were no major safety incidents in the fleet.

And Grote's biological "key" with special properties is also the first biological "key" discovered by the alliance in records, which has great research significance.

When Roger learned of this, he originally planned to let Meng Lei return directly and escort Grote to Sil City for the purpose of exploratory research.

But Meng Lei was eager to save people, so he was naturally reluctant to agree to this request.

In the end, Roger could only compromise on this matter, and did not force it, but hoped that Meng Lei could hand it over to the Separatist Organization for containment and research after using Grote.

In this regard, Meng Lei readily agreed.

When the expeditionary fleet arrived at the location where An Ran and the others had lost contact, nearly a month had passed since the incident, and a large number of Blue Star players had gathered in the waters around the ruins, as well as Alien bounty hunters who were trying to get a piece of the development process.

The Coalition has also dispatched several exploration teams and investigation teams, including a medium-sized armed fleet for security.

After a month of exploration and exploration, the outer area of the ruins has been opened, and the self-protection mechanism that can cause spiritual pollution to living beings has been broken, and everything is going smoothly for the initial development of the ruins.

However, Enron and the relevant personnel who have lost contact here have still not been found.

Under Roger's authorization, the expeditionary fleet led by Meng Lei himself, and some members of the Chongming fleet stationed on the periphery of the ruins, made an exception to participate in the follow-up exploration of the ruins.

During this period, the exploration process encountered many crises.

There are a large number of traps and many strange intelligent AI robots called ruins called ruin guards in this empty alien ruin.

These robots don't know how long they've been around, but they're still sticking to their posts, forbidding all external threats from entering the ruins.

】

They are a high-tech fusion of biological and mechanical technology, with incredible gravity and laser systems, which are extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, through the hint of the golden finger, Meng Lei is often able to predict the danger in advance, so that the vast majority of crises are turned into dangers.

It can be said that if there is no Meng Lei in the exploration team, the number of casualties for the development of this large relic will be an extremely terrifying number.

Even with the Alliance's current energy, it is likely that it will not be able to explore the core area of the ruins.

In the end, with Roger's deliberate help, a steady stream of equipment and materials and scientific researchers were delivered from Sil City.

After another half a month of hard work, the development of this large-scale relic has finally entered the final stage.

At this time, Grote, who was the "key", turned into an aberrant monster again, and through the verification of some kind of biological information, it may also be the docking of the same spiritual pollution trait, and successfully opened the door to the core area.

Here, a group of missing people, including Enron, were finally found.

No one knows exactly how they were able to reach this core area through the traps under the watchful eye of the ruin guards.

It's also possible that some mechanism of the ruins themselves forcibly captured them here through unknown means.

As can be seen from the large transparent enclosed chambers they are in, it seems that they are not entering on their own initiative, but are being forcibly modified by some kind of biological modification.

Here, in addition to An Ran and others and various strangely shaped biological modification cabins, there are also a large number of unknown genetic factors, which are properly sealed in special containers.

Through the hint of the golden finger, there was no need for the identification of the genetic research station, and Meng Lei was shocked to find that the genetic factors here were completely different from the genetic factors decomposed by the alliance side and the submarine deconstructor!

Basically, the genetic integrity of the genetic factors unearthed in the ruins is generally more than 99%, which is simply perfect!

No one knows who put these things here, or what they are for.

However, the traces found through on-site investigation show that this core area enclosed in the depths of the ruins is likely to be deliberately preserved by the builders of the ruins, and belongs to the unique scientific and technological crystallization library of this civilization!

Even here, a new type of submarine blueprint was discovered that could further increase the player's initial Wasteland Ship level!

From this point of view, the two previous speculations about the significance of the existence of the ruins may be somewhat unlikely.

Meng Lei guessed that eighty percent of these ruins were some kind of deep-sea fortress built by the alien civilization in the past in order to fight against invaders from another dimension, which was the last layer of guarantee to protect the continuation of the civilization fire.

It's just that the civilization of the other side obviously does not belong to human civilization.

Because the operation of many equipment and instruments in the core area is completely contrary to human habits and capabilities.

In addition, the large-scale biological modification cabins where Enron and others were located should not be prepared for humans in essence, and there was a huge accident in the transformation process.

When Meng Lei and the others entered the core area, many of the people who were forcibly bio-transformed, including the missing personnel of the Chongqing fleet, had undergone serious physical distortions, and they could no longer be called human beings at all.

What's more, they even turned into a pool of deformed and dry bones, and some were completely dissolved, leaving only rotten and ugly flesh and aberrant organs, soaked in some unknown green liquid, completely lifeless.

If you look at the genetic integrity of the genetic factor, this will never happen under normal circumstances.

The only explanation is that the physiology of humans is not suitable for this kind of biological modification, and the biological cabins created by the alien civilizations of the past should only be suitable for the species itself.

Fortunately, perhaps due to the difference in personal constitution, or the equipment itself is in disrepair, some parts or functions are malfunctioning.

Among the people who were forcibly transformed, including An Ran and several members of the Chongming Fleet, many of them still retained their human appearance, and did not undergo particularly serious physiological distortion, but were quietly immersed in the container and fell into a severe coma.

Seeing this, Meng Lei and the others did not dare to delay, and hurriedly rescued everyone from the container, and then carried out emergency treatment.

After examination, it was found that the vital signs of these people were fine, but their consciousness fell into a coma, and after a period of recuperation, they should soon wake up.

At this point, the rescue operation finally came to an end.

Next, Meng Lei led a group of members of the Chongqing fleet to join the follow-up, and combined with the scientific research and investigation team of the 66671 Waterway Alliance, to carry out a month-long in-depth development of this newly unearthed large-scale ruins, and swept away all the products and crystallizations involving ancient technology.

Although the two sides are jointly developing this time, all the spoils should be divided equally.

However, after all, the alliance is a dictatorship that controls the current alien society, and it is impossible to be so kind, suddenly usurping the ownership of the ruins before dividing the spoils, and embezzling a large amount of loot that should belong to the heavy fleet.

This time, the attitude of the alliance side is very tough, even if Roger himself comes forward to fight for it, it will not help.

In the end, under the stern condemnation of Meng Lei's Chongming fleet of nearly 10,000 people, the alliance made a slight retreat and ceded five new types of submarine blueprints in the trophies, including fifty unknown genetic factors, and some ancient technological creations, to the Chongming fleet.

In the final analysis, the war between the alliance and the separatist groups has gradually evolved from the initial friction and temptation to a full-scale official war.

At this juncture, the alliance is naturally wary of the overwhelming Blue Star players, and does not want to offend too much.

Otherwise, under internal and external troubles, the stable rule of the alliance is likely to fall apart in an instant.

It's just that this incident planted a mine between the alliance and the Chongming fleet after all, which made Meng Lei and many Blue Star players have a lower favorability of the alliance again, and became the fuse for the final break.

But at this moment, Meng Lei could only suffer a dumb loss, and with strong indignation and dissatisfaction, he led the crowd back to Xi'er City.

When he stepped onto the deck of Dock 59 again, he met Chen Yu in the Guixu.

This day is July 2, 212 in the ephemeris.

It's been nearly three months since he last set sail......
