In the dark control room, the atmosphere was eerie and solemn.

There were dozens of researchers, and not a single one of them expressed surprise or fear or shock at the monster's appearance. They paid no attention to it in the slightest, as if they hadn't discovered it at all.

People just kept tapping on the keyboard, and when the monster came behind them, they turned around, reached out, pulled out their eyes, put them in the iron plate, and then continued to turn around and type on the keyboard as if nothing had happened.

Under the dim lens, Lu Ming saw their expressions.

Their expressions were stiff and numb, and the movement of picking out their eyeballs was smooth and natural, as if they had been rehearsed a thousand times. They didn't hesitate in the slightest, didn't show any surprise about the matter, and just picked it off naturally, as if they were throwing away garbage.

For them, this seems to be a normal thing.

When the eyeball was cut out, there was a black hole left, and there was no blood flowing out of it.

Lu Mingyou recalled the scene when he played games in an Internet café when he was in school. At that time, rows of people sat in front of the computer, staring intently at the screen and tapping on the keyboard. Sometimes, the cleaning staff of the Internet café will push the garbage truck and carry the big garbage bag to collect the garbage, and when they are busy playing games, they will pick up the instant noodle buckets, paper towels, drink bottles and other garbage on the table, throw them into the garbage bag, and then immediately turn around and continue playing.

This scene in the Internet café that exists in memory is repeated here at this moment.

How god-like.

Sure enough, there are oddities.

Sure enough, there are oddities.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. He stared at the screen, waiting for Lu Ming to explain.

At this moment, a voice came from the communication station: "Report, the projector array has been found." They moved all the projectors to a factory......"

Accompanying the report is a picture. In the picture is a huge factory building, but one side of the factory has been completely demolished.

Lu Ming looked at it and saw that the demolished side was facing the direction of Nancheng.

After quickly weighing and thinking for a moment in his mind, and comparing various disposal plans, Lu Ming turned around and looked at Zhang Dingshan.

"Captain, where are the missile bases or artillery units around? Now, contact them immediately and launch a carpet bomb on the Nanli Laser Research Institute, destroying everything here and killing all the people and monsters inside. This is the best way to deal with it...... Be quick, or it'll be too late......"

Zhang Dingshan's brows furrowed again. He looked at Lu Ming and said in a deep voice: "The situation in the Laser Research Institute is unclear at the moment, whether those people have become monsters, or are in some kind of controlled state, and whether there are survivors, we don't know." Direct bombing...... Do you know what that means? ”

Lu Ming nodded firmly: "I know very well." Now, that's the only way. ”

"It's too big, I need an explanation."

Lu Ming originally wanted to use the urgency of the situation as an excuse to do the matter first and explain it later. But seeing Zhang Dingshan's expression so determined, he knew that it wouldn't work.

Like he said, there is no rational explanation, and no one can make a decision in the face of such a big thing.

"I'm afraid you can't be the master of this matter, captain. Lee's office should be fine. Why don't you inform Li first, and then I'll explain together? This saves time. ”

Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "Li can't be the master." Now that he knows the details of this matter, I'm afraid he will have to report it to the higher levels, and the higher levels will have to report to the next level...... Time is lost. But if you can convince me, I can activate the emergency clause of the operation team and directly deal with it on the spot and ask for the cooperation of the Li Division. ”

Lu Ming knew this emergency clause, but because he had never used it before, he was still a little unfamiliar. At this moment, when Zhang Dingshan mentioned it, he immediately thought about it.

If the emergency clause is activated, Li must cooperate with Zhang Dingshan's request, as long as it is not too outrageous, then no matter what it is, it will be done first. As for whether it is compliant, it can be reviewed later.

More importantly, in this way, things will end at the level of Li Wenhua. He no longer needs to report to the higher management, and he can directly dispose of it and comply with the regulations.

But......

All responsibility for this matter then rests with the person who initiated the emergency provisions.

If the follow-up review is compliant, then everything is naturally easy to say. But if the review is not compliant, the consequences can be imagined.

This is the case with emergency provisions. In the face of a major incident that needs to be dealt with on the fly, the on-site personnel are given enormous power to be almost unfettered and completely trusted, but they are subject to the most rigorous scrutiny afterwards.

The two complement each other.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate any longer, and said quickly: "The reason why we chose to trust Shu Changshan to a certain extent about the 'Cthulhu System' is because in this incident, we can't find a reasonable, systematic, and logically self-consistent explanation in the scientific system.

But, today I was inspired by something. Suddenly I thought of a possibility, a possibility within the scientific system.

The possibility is that the so-called mutation into a monster is essentially a kind of 'parasitism' similar to the parasitic larvae of the Cordyceps fungus? The essence of this incident is not actually some evil god pollution, but an alien invasion?

When I tried to explain the incident with this hypothesis, I found that everything made sense.

That's why I urgently called on you to investigate the Nanli Laser Research Institute. Because if the truth is as I suspected, the institute is here to be the most important. And now, we've all seen it, and the results are clear! ”

The Nanli Laser Research Institute is indeed abnormal at the moment. This seems to confirm Lu Ming's guess. But Zhang Dingshan is still a little unclear about the logic of this.

"I speculate that the CSK-9602 galaxy is either a strange life form in its own right - but note that it's not the Magic Eye of Cthulhu, and this strange life form is also understandable by science. Either that, or it has been transformed into what it is by a super-advanced civilization that has mastered super-advanced technology.

You can understand it as a pathogen, a source of infection. Ordinary pathogens are transmitted through contact with air and body fluids, but the pathogen of the CSK-9602 galaxy spreads germs through information! The carrier of information is light, and the consequence is that anyone who sees the impact of this galaxy clearly enough will be infected!

The so-called mutation is not actually mutation, but parasitism!

Humans receive information through their eyes and store it in their brains. The synapses that store those information themselves constitute some kind of miniature life forms that can grow themselves and participate in the modification of human genes. In the end, the human body, which is completely different from the alien life, was parasitic alien information in the body, used as a petri dish and a source of nutrition, and was eventually transformed into a monster. ”

Zhang Dingshan's brain was spinning rapidly, and when he heard this, he immediately said, "What is the basis for your conjecture?" When you were investigating this incident, you had tried to find that pathogen, but you didn't find anything! ”

"Listen to my logic first!"

Lu Ming let out a low roar and continued to say quickly: "First identify this premise, and then use this premise to go back and analyze the events we have experienced, and everything will be clear!"

According to this idea of "super life or super civilization transmits information through light, parasitizes low-level civilization creatures with information, and realizes invasion with this", then, the people in Zhou Tianyang's team are the first batch of people who were parasitized and then transformed into aliens! Luo Yang is the second batch.

Along this line of thought, what are the most pressing needs of the first aliens after they appear? Obviously, it is to expand the population. It is best to let all human beings on the entire earth be parasitized and transformed into aliens, so that the alien civilization that transformed the CSK-9602 galaxy will bloodlessly subvert a distant civilization that cannot be reached by conventional means, and occupy the magpie's nest and turn this distant civilization into a part of itself! ”

Although it was not possible to determine whether what Lu Ming said was true or false, Zhang Dingshan still instinctively felt a chill.

Infect and parasitize the intelligent individuals of an entire civilization, transform them into people of their own civilization, and then, the human planet will be occupied by them, and the heritage of civilization will also belong to them, just in this quiet between, no spaceship, no need to cross a long voyage, no need to go on an expedition, under the premise that they have no loss and no cost, they have occupied all the wealth of a civilization and achieved the growth of their own strength.

"With the goal of 'expanding the population as soon as possible to achieve occupation', what should be done for the group of aliens bred by Zhou Tianyang's team and Luo Yang to achieve this goal?

It's simple, let more people see the high-definition star map of the CSK-9602 galaxy!

As long as you see it, you will be parasitized, and you will be transformed into aliens!

The next logical step is, how to let more people see it?

Obviously, the image of the CSK-9602 galaxy can be seen by more people, or even the whole city, at the same time! ”

That's pretty much the only way. After all, if you use online media, TV screens, cinema curtains, etc., the target audience is too small, and the clarity is too low to achieve the goal.

"After thinking about the premise that this event was an alien invasion, not a cult contamination, I quickly thought of this possibility. So I immediately decided that in order to realize the 'projection of star maps in the sky', the Nanli Laser Research Institute is the most important thing! That's why I immediately brought you here to investigate it, and that's exactly what happened!

You must know that these monsters, although they are aliens, do not have any supernatural powers, and everything can only do things within the scientific system, and they must abide by the laws of physics. This means that they have to use human power to do this!

Based on the comprehensive judgment, I now have reason to believe that the real purpose of all the monsters' plans is to project a high-definition large image of the CSK-9602 galaxy over Nancheng City based on the Nanli Laser Research Institute, so as to achieve the purpose of large-scale infection! ”

Because of too focused thinking, Zhang Dingshan also oozed beads of sweat on his forehead at the moment. As soon as Lu Ming's voice fell, he immediately said: "But, we humans don't have three-dimensional projection technology!" Our projection can only be projected onto the cliff, not into the air! Also, they don't have high-resolution star map pictures! ”

Lu Ming said quickly: "These two problems are indeed the biggest obstacles. But, Captain, if a civilization chooses to expand its population in this way, then ...... Will they not think about it?

I have reason to think that aliens who are infected by them and then 'mutate' into them must be prepared for this. Or, they have some kind of superb computer technology reserves, which can steal highly encrypted original star map data, or they have some special observation technology, and they may even have corresponding star map data stored in their own bodies!

Just like people are born with milk, these aliens, it is possible that they will know what the CSK-9602 galaxy looks like when they are born!

In terms of three-dimensional projection technology, Captain, you should know that being able to observe a high-definition large image of the Demon Eye Galaxy, so that the civilization that is infected means that its technology has reached a certain level. Otherwise, you can't even observe! This kind of civilization, correspondingly, its projection technology must have developed greatly. In this case, it is possible that those aliens can evolve human projection technology into three-dimensional projection technology as long as they add some 'core technology' on the basis of human technology, and they can achieve void projection!

In fact, I judge that the eyeballs that are picked out by themselves are this core technology! It is very likely that it contains some kind of special material, and once applied, the 3D projection technology can be mastered by them! ”

Zhang Dingshan was stunned, and had to admit that Lu Ming's judgment had some truth.

So......

Once the ultra-high-definition large image of the Magic Eye galaxy was projected over Nancheng......

At this moment, it is the evening rush hour. People got off work and still hadn't slept.

Once a huge star map appears in the night sky, almost everyone will look at it. Then, as soon as you look at it, you will be so attracted by it that you can't help but continue to look at it.

There is evidence that if the clarity is high enough, it can cause mutation after just over an hour. And God knows how clear the star map is in the hands of the monsters!

If it is more clear than the star map that humans have mastered, then is it possible to cause mutation in half an hour, or even twenty or ten minutes?

At that time, the population of Nancheng will be nearly one million, and even if only half of them are mutated, it will be more than 400,000.

Thinking of the scene of more than 400,000 monsters on the earth, even Zhang Dingshan couldn't help but start trembling slightly.

His face was pale, and his heart was pounding.

Now, he couldn't keep his composure anymore.

"Now, go back and analyze how to use the power of humans according to the thinking of the monsters!

Now that everything has happened, assuming that everything is really as I said, it is clear that the final location chosen by the monsters is the Nanli Laser Research Institute. So, how to make Nanli Laser Research Institute meet your own needs?

Let's look back at the past. ”

Lu Ming gasped slightly: "If you want to make Nanli Laser Research Institute meet your own needs, there are two key points. One is people, and the other is equipment.

The monsters must first infect everyone in the Laser Research Institute and master everyone in order to carry out this plan.

How is this step achieved? ”

Zhang Dingshan's voice was heavy and there was some trembling: "When I captured the monsters for the first time!" ”

"That's right! It is known that after being insured, it will take a certain amount of time for aliens to 'conceive'. This process is accompanied by all kinds of anomalies, and it is almost impossible to conceal them. If one person is okay, it is possible to hide it, but there are so many people in the entire research institute, all mutated, it is impossible to hide it! If you come to the outside world, if you see it, you will be exposed.

Shu Changshan asked us to blockade the Nanli Mountains and cut off the communication between the Laser Research Institute and the outside world for the reason of enhancing 'inspiration', so that all the people in the research institute were locked up in the research institute and could not leave, and people from the outside world could not enter, so there were conditions for large-scale mutation!

At that time, although we had done a lot of precautionary measures to eliminate hidden dangers, we didn't expect that the Nanli Laser Research Institute had already been mixed in with undercover! ”
