Ding Meng continued his analysis. "As the chaos escalated, the soldiers and leaders of Shuguang Corporation were also infected. At this time, an origin ability user should have come down, and its strength should have increased. Of course, at this time, it would be impossible for it not to be noticed by the outside world."
This was what Du Peixing had explained to him. When the super fleet of the Skynet space station in the Azure System was on a routine patrol mission, the detection system suddenly detected an unknown signal in the Linda System. This signal was from that special organism. Because the underground world had completely turned into a devouring world, the quantum detection system could only determine its location through blind spots.
However, the water droplet was obviously very cunning. It used the transmission array to go around many planets, and each planet had nearly 2000 radiation zones. How could you possibly find it?
Therefore, the special task force and all the detectors sent by the military never returned. They were all killed by the water droplet.
Masa Fujen was very surprised. He asked, "Why didn't the military send a powerful Lord level fighter down?"
Ding Meng sighed. "I guess the military still doesn't know much about the situation underground. They probably didn't think that it was an alien invasion, but the military has already speculated about the environment underground. If they send out a real expert, it will be like beating the grass to scare the snake. It will definitely hide."
Xue Yue Mountain pondered and said, "Ding Meng, you were sent here, so you should know the most about the situation on the way here. Think about it. How strong is this damn thing now?
Has it broken through to become a Lord level fighter? "
Ding Meng immediately thought of Quan Jinwei. Quan Jinwei was definitely infected, and the water droplet could even eat him and evolve. However, when Ding Meng fought with Quan Jinwei for the first time, he could still feel the human aura on Quan Jinwei. After Quan Jinwei was resurrected the second time, it was completely gone.
Makoto Fuuma said, "I understand. It's not in a hurry. It wants to control more people, preferably origin ability users, to attract more and more people to come and die. Only then can it continue to grow. For it, this evolution process is definitely very slow, but sooner or later, it will evolve to an unprecedented level. At that time, I'm afraid that even our interstellar battleships in the sky won't be able to do anything to it."
Xue Yue Mountain sighed. "No wonder the Divine Light people said that it was a terrifying creature that had dominated the universe for billions of years. When that time comes, not only will it destroy the Federation, but the entire Devouring World will also be its food."
The three of them were horrified by the analysis, but Feng Jianzhen was still somewhat unwilling. "But what if all of this is not what Brother Ding speculated?"
Ding Meng sighed and said, "Whether it is or not, we will know once we open this mechanical door and go out."
Feng Jianzhen's tone became excited. "I've waited for so many years. The energy of my artificial body is about to run out. I've waited for this day to come."
He and Xue Yue Mountain were both artificial bodies made of crystalline energy. They had no way of dealing with such a heavy mechanical door. If Ding Meng had not been teleported in, the two of them would still have run out of energy, and in the end, their souls would have been completely destroyed.
Seeing Ding Meng walk towards the rotating lock, Xue Yue Mountain decisively said, "Wait!"
Feng Jianzhen laughed disdainfully. "What?
Old bastard, even you have times when you're afraid? "
Xue Yue Mountain was a bit nervous. "It's not fear. What if that damned thing is outside?
If we rush out like this, won't we be throwing away all hope?
We've both been here for 20 years. What's the difference in a little more time? "
Feng Jianzhen stopped laughing. "Then what do you mean?"
Xue Yue Mountain said, "There's something I'm curious about. Even that damned thing can't get into Shenguang Biotechnology's energy storage. How did Brother Ding get in?
And how did you get teleported here? "
Ding Meng smiled bitterly. "Even I don't know the reason for this."
Feng Jianzhen was silent. He said, "I did some research. To enter the storage, one has to remove the protection command from the mainframe system. Even the mainframe does not have the authority to do so."
Xue Yue Mountain said, "Then who has the authority?"
Feng Jianzhen said, "I'm afraid only the life forms of the Shenguang civilization have the authority to do so."
Ding Meng laughed. "If only I were a person of Shenguang!"
Clearly, Ding Meng was a human life form. As for how he had been teleported in, that was indeed inconceivable.
Ding Meng asked, "I'm curious too. When you were killed 20 years ago, the droplet should have known that you had become spirits and was hiding here. Why didn't it come in and get rid of you?"
Feng Jianzhen said, "At that time, it was only in the form of a droplet. Although it was powerful, it couldn't do anything to solid machines."
Ding Meng said, "But so many years have passed, and it has swallowed so many people. It already has a body to attach itself to. It can't be that it can't do anything to the SS Expedition, can it?"
Feng Jianzhen and Xue Yue Mountain were smart people. They immediately realized that the droplet had not ignored them. It had left the SS Expedition for another use.
Xue Yue Mountain suddenly said, "Let's go out."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
Xue Yue Mountain said, "Since the SS Expedition is useful to it, then we won't activate it. Whatever it wants, I won't give it."
His way of thinking was undoubtedly correct. It was also Ding Meng's way of thinking.
Feng Jianzhen sneered. "You're not afraid?"
Xue Yue Mountain said proudly, "Afraid?
I'm already a dead man. I don't even have a corpse. Why would I be afraid of death? "
"Alright, you've got guts!" Feng Jianzhen's heroic spirit was also aroused. "Brother Ding, please open the door."
Ding Meng did not say anything. He took two steps forward and began to turn the lock plate with both hands.
After a series of heavy creaking sounds, the heavy iron door was opened. What appeared in front of them was still the damp, dark, and poisonous environment.
But looking at the huge rectangular hall in front of them, Feng Jianzhen was silent.
Ding Meng turned his head and said, "Senior, do you know where this is?"
Feng Jianzhen pointed into the distance and said, "Do you see that thing?"
Ding Meng noticed that in the far wall of the hall, there seemed to be a hemispherical steel object embedded in it. It was very similar to the Haitian Group's exploration ship. Its design followed the Songqing spaceship's design, but it looked too old. After years of erosion, it looked like an apple with a moldy surface.
Feng Jianzhen said, "That's right. It's the Frogman Kingdom's Frogfrog exploration ship. The Empire's Songqing spaceship evolved from it."
Ding Meng was shocked. "You're saying that we're inside the Divine Light starship?"
Xue Yue Mountain's tone was also very serious. "Yes, this was originally a world of light. Now, all the light is gone, and it has become the environment of our Devouring World. This proves that the darn thing has absorbed all the energy it can absorb. In a way, the Divine Light starship has been destroyed, but the warehouse is probably still there."
Ding Meng said, "Seniors, may I ask where the warehouse is now?"
Feng Jianzhen said, "I can only bring you there based on my memory."
Ding Meng said, "Senior, please lead the way."
The mobility of the crystalline energy prosthetic body was extremely limited. It was about the same as a normal human's, so they had to walk around for almost six hours. Along the way, they passed by those rectangular halls. This showed just how huge the Divine Light starship was.
Xue Yue Mountain said, "No, your understanding is wrong. Under normal circumstances, the Divine Light starship can change its form at any time. It can expand itself into a stellar-level battleship or shrink itself into a small spacecraft. This kind of technology is unimaginable to us, but now that this place has become a dead zone, it proves that the mysterious energy that the little thing mentioned has been completely absorbed. It looks like it's preparing to settle down in the Holy Grail Federation."
Ding Meng listened with a heavy heart. This strange creature was really terrifying.
At this moment, Ding Meng suddenly stopped in his tracks and frowned.
Feng Jianzhen was puzzled. "What's going on?"
Ding Meng said, "There's someone up ahead."
Feng Jianzhen said, "But the warehouse is up ahead."
Ding Meng said, "Are you sure?"
Feng Jianzhen said, "I can guarantee it. At least Old Trash and I are more familiar with that thing than anyone else. We've studied it in the warehouse many times before."
Ding Meng suddenly smiled bitterly. The warehouse that Feng Jianzhen was talking about was actually the hall with the 16 Ghost Eyes Demon Pupil teleportation portals. After going around in circles for so long, they had actually come back to the same place.
There was indeed someone in the teleportation portal hall. Ding Meng quickly ran over. "What are you guys doing?"
In the southern corner of the hall, Du Mo and Irene were curled up in a corner. They looked quite injured, and Fu Zhonghui was taking care of them.
When they saw Ding Meng appear, Du Mo and Irene were pleasantly surprised. "Ding Meng, you're here!"
"What's going on?" Ding Meng asked with concern.
Fu Zhonghui's voice actually sounded a little tired. "Ge Ping from Haitian Group was here just now. Both Du Mo and Lin are seriously injured, but I've already forced that guy to retreat."
Feng Jianzhen, however, became excited. "The warehouse. This is indeed the warehouse. These 16 teleportation portals are the entrance. The protection order hasn't been lifted. Thank goodness it's still there."
Two crystal energy artificial bodies appeared here. Fu Zhonghui frowned and said, "Who are these two spirits?"
Ding Meng had no choice but to explain. Du Mo and Irene's eyes immediately lit up. "Is it really Senior Feng Jianzhen?"
Feng Jianzhen, however, couldn't be bothered with them. He explained to Ding Meng, "The destination of teleportation is not necessarily the warehouse. It can be anywhere in the starship. We've tried many times, but we haven't succeeded even once. Brother Ding, the teleportation plaza you were in earlier was a place we've never been to before. That place can help you recover quickly. I can guarantee that it's definitely the real warehouse …"
Ding Meng stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, I'll teleport again."
Xue Yue Mountain hurriedly pulled him back. "Please don't. The teleportation is random. There's only a chance of success once in tens of thousands of times. If you teleport again now, you'll be in trouble if you encounter that thing."
Fu Zhonghui also pulled him back and asked in a low voice, "Ding Meng, this underground is too strange. What's going on?"
