Chapter 153: Devouring

Updated: 2012-09-30

In the picture of the light screen, there is a dead planet. No, maybe only half of it.

The planet, half of which is smaller, has disappeared. The entire star body was filled with gray colors, and countless stardust continued to overflow from the stars, and then drifted into the universe one by one, like planetary blood scattered everywhere.

There is pitch black, cloud-like material hovering over the planet. Pillars of clouds descended from the black clouds, and they burrowed into the planets like tentacles, and in these pillars of clouds, there were constantly brilliant blue spots of light rising. They were sucked into the black cloud with the pillar of clouds, like the blood of a vampire sucked into their bodies.

Zero rose a wave of enlightenment, and those blue spots of light were the essence of the planet's energy. And that black cloud looked like a devil was eating the planet.

Eat!

When he realized that he had used such anthropomorphic words to describe this phenomenon, Zero couldn't help but be stunned.

In the light screen, the picture changes again.

For some reason, the black cloud suddenly retracted its tentacle pillar that probed into the interior of the planet. Then, it writhed like a huge beast spinning its body. Countless lights exploded in the clouds, as if the beast had opened its eyes. Even though it was just an inorganic picture on the light screen, Zero felt a palpitation. A clear pinprick sensation came from the skin, which was a sign of danger.

Zero never imagined that one day he would sense danger from certain images. But now, the danger signals were so clear that he almost shouted the word "run" to the observer in the light screen.

In the picture, the black cloud is like a beast that has found its prey, and it actually let go of the half-eaten planet and floated in the direction of the picture instead.

Zero shuddered.

This cloud-like thing, from the point where it released the asteroid and prepared to attack new prey, seemed to possess some intelligence. Zero wonders what it is, is it some kind of sapient outer space life, or is it just catastrophic matter?

All he knew was that the speed at which the black clouds seemed to move slowly, but the reality was very fast. But in the blink of an eye, its area in the light screen has become a little larger. Following, Zero hears all sorts of jumbled sounds, and yells that don't make sense.

The picture has changed again.

This time it shows the interior of the ship. The light screen rushes forward along the passage where Zero is now in a first-person perspective, apparently the owner of the view should be the corpse on the ground, and what Zero sees is a record from an unknown period of time.

The passage soon came to an end, and after a dizzy burst of blue light, a space similar to the ship's operation room appeared in the frame, with dozens or more tall humans busy in the operation room. The owner of the view appears above the ground, resembling a raised platform.

There was only one seat on the high platform, and a man appeared behind the wide seat. He seemed to be aware of the sight of his master, and the chair turned back, and the man was dressed in the same blue and white attire. The chest and the rest of the body were also embedded with hedrons, but on the face with a distinctly European silhouette, there were three diamond-shaped hedrons between the eyebrows that shimmered with a dazzling blue light.

Zero was shocked to see this, these humans who were far taller than the current race, it was certain that they were once inhabitants of the earth. It's just that Zero doesn't know which period of humanity they belong to, but no matter what, the picture in front of him has told that in the history of the earth, there was an era of civilization with advanced technology. And the human beings living in this era already have the ability to explore the universe beyond the galaxy!

In the picture, the man who appears to be the captain of the ship and the owner of the perspective are talking quickly in a language that Zero does not understand. In front of the high platform, there are other large, two, and small three-sided light screens lined up. In these three light screens, the black cloud-like material has approached, and has begun to peek out from the inside like tentacles-like pillars of clouds.

It's just that the human side also began to attack, and in those three light screens, Zero saw a stream of energy similar to a beam of light constantly blasting out. As soon as they shoot into the black cloud, the material on the surface of the black cloud immediately sinks, and the phenomenon of annihilation appears. No matter what the substance that makes up the black cloud, once it is impacted by the energy flow, the attacked part will be particle-grained, and eventually it will turn into nothingness.

Zero's pupils shrank again.

The phenomenon on the black cloud, if there is no accident, should be the result of the annihilation of positive and antimatter against each other. In other words, the flow of energy blasted out of the ship should be close to something like a cation cannon. It was an energy strike weapon that existed in the theoretical stage, and Zero didn't expect such a terrifying weapon to be equipped on this spaceship.

A cation cannon is enough to annihilate a massive city, what a terrifying power.

In the picture, the black clouds are constantly impacted by the energy beams. But it seemed to be able to tinker with its "body" indefinitely, and the annihilated area was quickly filled with new material, and it continued to speed in the direction of the ship, meeting it under the heavy artillery fire of the human side.

At this moment, the light screen in front of Zero's eyes flickered, and then flashed and disappeared into the air. Immediately after, the hedron on his chest clicked and shattered. When the hedron shattered, the tactical suit on Zero's body immediately decomposed and vaporized, and finally scattered into ash at the same time as the hedron, which made it painful to see Zero's flesh.

He knew that it was the energy that was left in the hedron that had been used up after playing that recording, so it would disintegrate into nothingness along with the tactical suit.

This made Zero a little regretful, and he really wanted to know what the encounter between the black cloud and the spaceship was. But judging from the fact that the spaceship Zuihou still appeared on Earth, it seems that the black clouds did not have much impact on it. It's just that more doubts appear in Zero's mind, such as what period of humanity is seen in the picture, and they have such advanced technology, and Weishenme suddenly disappeared into the history of the earth, not even a trace of information remains.

It's like a huge civilization fault, and Zero believes that as long as a little bit of information from this spaceship is brought to the wilderness, the current civilization of the Anthropocene will suffer a strong impact. But he wasn't going to do that, the spaceship would be his precious treasure, and if he could decipher the technology and civilization on the ship, Zero would definitely be able to leap to become one of the pinnacles of this shijie.

But right now, he is not fully prepared. What's more, he also lacks the funds and talents to research the spacecraft. Before that, Zero had the bigger problem of getting the ship from the ground to the surface.

Ideally, the spacecraft's reserve energy can support the spacecraft to get out of the ground, otherwise the cost of excavation and salvage alone is an astronomical amount in itself.

With the hope that the spaceship would still move, Zero continued to walk along the passage according to the picture he had just seen. To get the ship moving, he had to at least go to the control center that appeared in the screen to have any hope of doing so.
