The fleet headed towards the planet at the center of the vortex, and there were some planets and megastructures blocking the passage along the way, and Zhang Han immediately ordered a bombardment to open the way.

The Judgment Blade was the first to fire, followed by heavy ships such as the Alliance, the God-Emperor and the Forgiveness.

Dense light spears and Nova shells that are ejected using a giant force field (when they explode, they are named Nova Shells because they emit a bright light, like a stellar explosion), and various giant missiles are launched together.

They crossed the Void, leaving a bright trail that eventually hit the strange formations and meteorites in the Void.

Endless explosions lit up in the void, and the burst of light reflected the entire void, opening up a rift that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers in the strange whirlpool.

The fleet then followed the path that had been opened to the planet at the center of the maelstrom, a journey that was simple because there were no enemies in the void. However, the mental pressure made everyone look very dignified, and the technicians kept searching for the galaxy, scanning the structure for data, and analyzing the situation of the galaxy.

Because the things here are beyond their imagination, if there is some flesh or space-time rift, they can still understand, but now the entire galaxy has become a whirlpool, and even the things inside have been twisted into a whirlpool.

All of these external things appear to be planets at the heart of the vortex, with some kind of strange power that cannot be understood.

"Is there anything on that planet?" Zhang Han looked at Ding Yi, the chief technical engineer responsible for building the data model, and asked.

Ding Yi turned his head, then shook his head, "Scanning, the scan data is very strange, no matter what technology is used, the scan section of the entire planet is displayed as a vortex." Only by directly capturing images with optical devices can you see what the planet looks like. ”

Receiving such an answer, Zhang Han's face was also solemn, he walked back and forth in his position, and finally stood in front of the observation window, his eyes became solemn, he stared at those strange giant structures, trying to find out something that might be related to the truth, but he found nothing.

There are no enemies, no monsters, just eerie spirals that fill every corner of this galaxy, what do they really represent?

A few hours passed quickly, and the fleet followed the open path to the vicinity of the planet, and on the way made an emergency to avoid the stars revolving around the planet, so as to prevent the fleet from colliding directly.

Under the law of gravitation, it is supposed that the planet is moving around the star, but now it is the star that revolves around the planet.

This galaxy represents the collapse of reason and order, the subversion of common sense, and the trampling of physical codes.

All of the fleet's scanning systems have been turned on to detect the system, and they are constantly scanning everything nearby, and the combat readiness of each ship has been raised to the highest level.

The psionics, the witchers, were all called together to form special patrols, and even the fighters were pulled out of the hangar, ready to take off at any time.

However, no enemy ever appeared, and the Third Expeditionary Fleet traveled alone across the galaxy to the center of the vortex.

"A human life signal was detected, but there was something strange about it." Ding Yi's voice broke the dull atmosphere on the bridge, and Zhang Han looked at him, "Let me see." ”

Holographic projections appeared on the bridge, and the beams of light that pulsed like static electricity outlined the planet's topography, and it was intuitive to see that the entire planet had been twisted into a whirlpool.

The projection shows a huge bottomless crater, surrounded by spiraling mountains on the outermost part and spiraling downwards at the innermost point.

"Are there certain living people in such a place?" Zhang Han looked at Ding Yi, and the other party's words made him a little suspicious.

"It's indeed a human life signal, you can ask Qiqi about this." One of Ding Yi's mechanical fingers pointed at the projection formed Qiqi.

Zhang Han looked over, Qiqi nodded, and agreed with Ding Yi's words, "It is true that the human life signal has been found, but there are some differences, maybe the target has been corrupted, or something else." ”

"Carry out the purification procedure, Legion Commander," William asked, looking at Zhang Han, "Those people may have lost their chance to redeem, and it is a good thing for everyone to return them to nothingness. ”

"It's just a possibility, and we can't use it to decide the fate of others." Zhang Han interrupted William's words, "The God Emperor has given us the power to protect mankind, if we are afraid of loss and give up our duties, it is better for us to go to the museum as ornaments." Tell all the troops to get ready for battle, and I'll land on the surface and see what is going on with those humans!! If they are no longer redeemable, then we will give them purification. If there is anyone else who deserves to be saved, then I will bring him out. ”

No one could disobey Zhang Han's order, and William could only give up his plan to use extermination purification on the entire planet.

The fleet surrounded the entire planet, aiming huge artillery and light spear arrays at the mutated planet, ready to fire at any moment.

At the slightest command, it will be wiped out in the wrath of humanity. But in order to explore possible salvation, Zhang Han and the soldiers of the Third Expedition carried out the landing procedure, and they were going to find the signal of human life to see if they could save something.

Escorted by warplanes, the roaring gunboats reached the ground and lowered the heavily armed legionnaires onto a fairly flat platform in the whirlpool pit.

The Legionnaires set up a cordon and placed heavy fire nearby, but there were still no enemies on the ground, and there was a ruined nest near the whirlpool.

Zhang Han decided to scout the situation in the nest capital first and see if he could find any clues.

Soon, they were in the nest capital, following standard procedures for detection and technicians for analysis.

However, they soon discover that the Hive has also been contaminated by forces affecting the entire galaxy, and the magnificent structures have been twisted into spirals.

No matter how tall the building is, it will end up in the same way, completely twisted into a spiral.

Everything in the nest was in tatters, and the twisted buildings had torn the cables and rebar buried in the concrete, stopping all machinery, even the machinery itself.

There are still some bones left in the building, probably due to changes in the environment, which have been preserved for a long time without being reduced to dirt or eroded by wind and frost.

"Something terrible is happening here." Abdi, a historian, with the help of his assistant Milly, takes pictures of the twisted nest.

Even after participating in the Great Expedition for so long, Abdi was still shocked by what he saw, and the unparalleled desecration poisoned the world.

How many evil things are hidden in the universe that human beings do not understand, and how many terrible things are hidden in the dark void.

"The universe is like a basket full of monsters, and humans are like a teenager who has just stepped out of the cradle and is bitten all over his body, and this teenager will either die or learn the rules of survival in this dark forest."

Abdi remembered a poem by a poet of the expeditionary force, who wrote it after witnessing the battle of Karapus.

I have to say, this sentence is really apt.

Redes and several legionnaires were by his side, on a mission to protect him.

"Anyone can see it." "Don't be so sentimental, scholar. ”

"Yes, anyone can see it, but also record it. Otherwise, when this place is purified, people will forget about these terrible things. Abdi used a high-resolution camera to capture some of the relevant footage, and then asked Redes to take a few war-like art photos.

As a historian, Abdi's professionalism and ideological awareness are high, and while the truth of history is important, it is equally important to inspire future generations.

Even if one day, the glorious edifice of the Galactic Empire collapses, he also hopes that mankind can find hope in the history books he has compiled and resolutely continue to walk.

Zhang Han was a little further away from Abdi, scanning a human skeleton that had clearly been deformed, and the skeleton scanned by the built-in control core automatically restored to its original appearance.

The recovered body of the deceased is very strange, as if it has been elongated, and it looks weird, but there is no obvious change in the genes of the body, and it is still in the category of human beings.

"What the hell is going on here!!" Zhang Han looked around and looked at the dilapidated buildings, there were no enemies or goods, only large and small spirals, and even the smoke that flew up was spiral-shaped.

Everything here is full of mysteries, and no one knows exactly what happened.

"Maybe you can go into the pit." Ding Yi's voice sounded in the communication, "It has been determined that the life signal is coming from the pit, and there is another thing that needs to be reported to you, the scan found that in the orbiting space station around the planet, there is a space station that is still running at low power, maybe there is something recorded there, I have sent it to check it, and there will be results soon." ”

"I'll take someone down the pit to take a look, and let me know as soon as there is a result on the space station." Zhang Han said.

"Understood." After replying, Ding Yi closed the communication.

The sound of footsteps came, and Zhang Han, who had just finished the call, turned his head to look and found that it was Qian Lai and Tius walking from the side.

"Did you find anything?" Zhang Han asked.

Qian Lai was the first to speak, and the news he brought could be regarded as bad news.

"Sorry, no. The swarm of drones sent out scanned the entire nest, but could not find a single living person. Also, all the electronic equipment is broken, no matter how advanced it is, it is all the same, and it all burns out. It's like being attacked by some kind of strong magnetic pulse, and maybe some mechanical equipment can still be used, but the number of those things is very rare in the human alliance society, and it is difficult to find it, and if you find it, you may not have the information we want. ”

"Then don't look for it."

"Checked." Tius's face was slightly ugly, "All drones lost contact after entering a kilometer underground, and this is the case with several drones in a row. ”

Zhang Han heard Tius's words and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "It seems that the answer is in the depths of the pit, get ready, let's enter the pit." ”

Qian Lai and Tius looked at each other, then nodded in support of the proposal.

After inspecting the nest, there were no clues, and Zhang Han and his party had to focus on the strange and bottomless pit, perhaps all the answers were hidden in the pit.

Standing on the edge of the whirlpool, you can feel the enormity of the whirlpool, it is circular, measuring three hundred kilometers in diameter, presenting a perfect circle, and the spiral descending path is embedded in the rock wall of the deep pit, and the proportions and intervals between them have been measured and found to be equal, and it is a perfect spiral.

"There should be something down there that can interfere with the electronics, and it's so powerful that we can't go down in a gunboat, and if we have an accident, we'll crash straight and have to walk. Another point is that from now on, we will turn on the anti-electronic shock type of protection, isolate all external electronic devices, and we will no longer use communicators, but rely on voice to transmit commands. Pay attention to your electronic devices, and if they are interfered with, give up immediately. ”

Zhang Han gave the order to prepare for a possible electromagnetic attack by the enemy, reduce the weight of the power armor's electronic systems, open the isolation barrier, spray the armor with reflective coating, and prepare to abandon the electronic equipment.

Although the empire's technology is very advanced, it is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Every accident on the battlefield has to pay a bloody price, and prudence is always the only word of protection on the battlefield.

When they were ready, they marched forward and walked down the spiraling path, not very fast, because there were mortal scholars like Abdi to take care of.

There were bones on both sides of the road, and there were quite a few of them, not only humans, but also other creatures, and even some alien creatures who arrived in this galaxy after humanity was in crisis, and they also died here.

From the direction in which the bones fell, and from the scattered places, it was clear that they had been corrupted, and were dominated by an invisible force, and drove them into the pit.

"It's weird."

At the beginning, Abdi also took photos and whispered in amazement, but the deeper he went, the more bones he saw, and Abdi fell silent.

He had taken so many of these pictures that he didn't even need to take them anymore, because there were so many bones here, and no one knew how many people had died.

Upon crossing the thousand-kilometer depth, the exploration team detected intermittent strong electromagnetic pulses, which were apparently shot down by previous drones.

Strong electromagnetic pulses can generate strong temporary voltages and currents in electronic systems, electronic equipment, and communication systems, causing damage and instantaneous interference.

Zhang Han and the others, who had prepared in advance, were not disturbed, and the isolation barrier and reflective coating weakened the strong electromagnetic pulse, making it impossible to destroy the electronic system in the power armor.

The group went all the way deep, and did not encounter any enemies on the way, only a large number of bones, until they reached a depth of twenty or thirty kilometers above the ground, and reached the bottom of the deep pit, where there was a huge passage large enough to accommodate several construction machines.

The electronic device used to detect human life signals detected strong life signals, which came from the other side of the tunnel.

Zhang Han and the others walked along the passage, walked for more than ten minutes, and saw a bright white light on one side of the passage, illuminating the other end of the passage.

"Be ready to fight." Zhang Han said.

They walked over and found a huge space, witnessing the origin of the curse of the entire galaxy.

A large black vortex floated on the ball of light, emitting an eerie white light.

As if it were breathing, it expands and then contracts at regular intervals, releasing a strong electromagnetic pulse during the process.

And underneath that black vortex was a dense mass of countless humans and other creatures entangled together to form a huge vortex of flesh and blood.

None of them died, but merged and intertwined with each other, turning into a twisted and unspeakable monster.

Seven thousand words, daily updates plummeted.
