Chen Chen's eyes turned cold when he saw the humanoid monster extending its tentacles in front of him. He endured the pain of his injuries and turned his Field into a drill in front of him. He charged at the monster with unstoppable momentum!
"Screech!"
In the next second, the Consciousness Stealer exploded into a mass of blood and flesh, splattering all over the castle hall!
"Huff... Huff...!"
Chen Chen stood there weakly, staring at the blurry mass of flesh and blood on the ground. Then, the mass of flesh and blood turned into countless green spots of light and flew toward Chen Chen...
Chen Chen took a step back. He instinctively used his Field to resist these light spots, but the strange thing was that these light spots did not seem to have any form. They directly passed through his Field and instantly merged with Chen Chen's body!
At the moment of merging, Chen Chen seemed to see countless images. These images included endless starry skies, vast expanses of extraterrestrial land, and at the same time, he saw a huge shadow...
The shadow was directly suspended above the planet, half of its body even submerged under the horizon. Because of the backlight, Chen Chen could barely make out the silhouette of the shadow. It was a monster with tens of thousands of tiny tentacles stretching all over its body, like a monster made of endless flesh and blood!
It blotted out the sky. Just one look and Chen Chen felt like he was about to fall into endless despair and madness!
"What... Is that..."
"The consciousness battlefield has ended!"
Suddenly, the magnificent voice in the sky woke Chen Chen up again, only to hear it continue to ring. "Participant Chen Chen, you've devoured your opponent and begun to return."
When he heard this familiar voice, Chen Chen finally slowly relaxed. He slumped to the ground, silently feeling the changes in his consciousness, but before he could catch his breath, everything in front of him suddenly made a cracking sound, and then a trace of cracks slowly appeared in front of him, like a mirror slowly shattering.
Chen Chen subconsciously rubbed his eyes, but at the same time, he found that the scenery in front of him continued to shatter and collapse. At the same time, there was a loud bang as if the mirror in front of him had been completely shattered, and his vision was plunged into darkness again.
No, something was wrong!
At this time, at this time, the expression of Chen Chen, who had just won, suddenly changed. This darkness felt very strange. Chen Chen could not tell what kind of feeling this was. It was as if his consciousness was divided into two halves, and each could sense different perceptions?
What was going on?
In an instant, Chen Chen suddenly felt extremely weak. He wanted to sit up, but his head hit the metal plate above his head with a loud bang, and Chen Chen's head was covered in blood.
Chen Chen rubbed his head with some pain. At this time, he had time to open his eyes, but what he saw was a narrow, cramped space.
At this time, Chen Chen found that he was lying in a coffin-like space. The space was surrounded by metal walls all around him. There were only two faint red lights on both sides of his body.
Was he still inside the hibernation chamber?
Chen Chen looked at all this with some confusion, but the spirit in his mind became even weaker. A strong wave of drowsiness hit him, but Chen Chen forced himself not to fall asleep because the world in front of him was presenting two completely different images.
In one of them, there were two red lights around him. The red lights barely illuminated the space around him, but in the other case, there was only darkness in front of him.
What was going on? Was there a problem with the consciousness battlefield?
Chen Chen wore an inexplicable look of shock, but before he had time to think about it, the pajamas hit him in waves like a tsunami.
Almost at the same time, far away in the Spire Experimental Base, the USB drive that was charging suddenly burst out with a strange white light. At the same time, it automatically melted like a liquid!
When the white light disappeared, the USB drive had also completely melted into a pool of black liquid. This liquid kept evaporating. When Little X, who felt the anomaly, switched her view to the charging room, she saw that the USB drive had completely disappeared!
By the time the white light disappeared, the USB drive had completely melted into a puddle of black liquid. This liquid continued to evaporate and when Little X switched her view to the charging room, she saw that the USB drive had completely disappeared!
No one knew where the USB drive had gone...
...
At some point, the strange infectious disease that could threaten the world and destroy the entire human civilization disappeared.
As if someone had pressed the pause button, the originally aggressive infectious disease disappeared completely. After the last of the dead bodies were disposed of, the other infected people began to regain their senses. As for the uncertain risk persons who had signs of potential infection, they were all safe. There were no signs of mutation in the isolation room.
At first, the Earth Federation was not sure, but as time went by, until a month later, there were no new infected people and no new cases of death, finally, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to confirm whether the infection had truly disappeared, the Earth Federation specifically asked the quantum computer Adam. The answer Adam gave was also very simple, which was — mankind was not facing the crisis of civilization destruction yet...
This answer was passed on to the top leaders of countries around the world, but these people only had a hint of bitterness in their mouths.
Adam seemed to be gradually losing its ability to prophesy.
Although no one knew the reason, it was an obvious fact. Adam's quantum computer seemed to have malfunctioned in some way. Otherwise, it would not have been so indifferent to the crisis mankind was facing today and did not respond at all.
Thus, this mysterious infectious disease that spread across the world for two and a half months and killed more than three million people finally came to an end.
The infectious disease disappeared as abruptly as it had come, without any warning.
The Consciousness Stealer cloned from the protoplasmic liquid in the meteorite also died the moment the infectious disease disappeared a month ago. After that, no matter how they cloned them, they could not be cloned again.
Even the protoplasmic liquid quickly decayed and lost its activity.
Just when the world was rejoicing, no one noticed that a person who had been secretly standing on the frontline against the Consciousness Stealer had suddenly disappeared.
Time passed by.
One month, two months, three months...
A beautiful girl waited silently every day. She sat next to a blue metal coffin, curled up, waiting for the familiar movement inside the coffin.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Suddenly, a phone that was placed on the side rang. The girl slowly opened her eyes, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
"Little Chen, it's been so long, why aren't you home yet? Don't you know to come visit us? "
A slightly weathered female voice came from the phone. However, the strange thing was that although the tone of the voice was weathered, the voice itself did not sound old at all. It sounded like she was only in her thirties.
"Mom, I've been a little busy lately. You and dad take care of yourselves, I'll be back soon..."
The girl opened her mouth, but the voice that came out of her mouth was that of a man.
"Alright, sigh, child, don't tire yourself out too much. If you're tired, you need to rest. Your dad misses you too."
The woman's voice continued. "Mom and dad were wrong last time, we won't force you to find a partner anymore. Don't be angry at mom and dad, okay?"
"There's no such thing."
The young girl gently smiled, revealing a tranquil expression. "Really."
"That's good..."
Beep.
The phone was hung up.
Seeing this, the girl gently put the phone aside again, and then continued to sit on the ground, leaning against the metal coffin, waiting silently.
No one knew what she was waiting for ….
Dong...
Just as the girl slightly closed her eyes and began to close them to rest, suddenly, as if it was an illusion, a slight sound suddenly came from the metal coffin behind her.
Dong dong...
It was as if someone was knocking on the coffin from inside. The girl's eyes widened. She quickly turned around and widened her beautiful big eyes, as if she was expecting something.
Click, click — Chi!
Suddenly, the coffin made a soft sound, as if someone had activated a mechanism inside. Then, the coffin's lid trembled and slid open a little!
"Ah!"
The girl suddenly let out a cry of surprise. She quickly looked into the coffin and saw a young man squinting his eyes. As the coffin opened, the light from the outside world shone in, and he immediately raised his palm to block the light from the outside world.
"Sir Godfather!"
The girl looked even more surprised. She leaned against the coffin and said excitedly, "You've finally awakened from your sleep!"
At this time, at this time, Chen Chen looked a little confused. He looked at the happy Little X but did not respond. Instead, his eyes were filled with a puzzled expression.
"Where am I..."
Chen Chen did not sit up. He just put his palm in front of his eyes and kept observing it as if he was looking at something he had never seen before.
"This is the teleportation hall?"
The girl's surprised expression gradually froze. Seeing Chen Chen's unfamiliar expression, she hesitantly took a step back. "Are you Sir Godfather?"
"I am."
Only then did Chen Chen put down his palm. He looked at the somewhat surprised and nervous Little X and could not help chuckling. "Don't worry, I've already devoured the Consciousness Stealer, you don't have to worry about it."
Little X nodded firmly. Indeed, all the infected outside had died, and the person in front of her could not be the incarnation of the Consciousness Stealer.
However, at this time, there was still a strange expression on Chen Chen's face. He kept closing his eyes and opening them again, but the special feeling of strangeness still lingered.
This was because in his perception, there seemed to be two images in front of him —
One of them was showing an open cryogenic chamber and Little X next to the cryogenic chamber. Outside the cryogenic chamber was the familiar teleportation hall.
The other image, on the other hand, was pitch-black.
Chen Chen's consciousness seemed to be divided into two, one of which had awakened, but the other remained in a state of deep sleep.
This feeling was extremely strange, even giving Chen Chen the illusion that reality and illusion were intertwined.
"Sir Godfather, are you feeling unwell?"
Little X asked with concern.
"No, it's just..."
Chen Chen opened his mouth but did not know how to describe his current feelings. Thinking of this, he simply stopped explaining. Instead, he pulled out his left hand and at the same time, both hands leaned on the sides of the cryogenic chamber and propped up his body from inside.
However, as he sat up inside, he felt the feeling of a foreign object in his left hand again. He picked it up and looked at it. It was nothing but a pitch-black USB drive without any embellishments.
"This USB drive disappeared three months ago."
Seeing this, Little X immediately said, "At that time, I also suspected that the USB drive was in your hands again."
"Three months ago? So I've been sleeping for that long... "
Chen Chen could not help frowning because there had been cases of USB drives suddenly disappearing before, so Chen Chen was not surprised. He just stood up from inside and stepped out of the cryogenic chamber, a little feebly.
Next, a group of Black Knights came in. They served Chen Chen as he left the teleportation hall and returned to the Spire Experimental Base.
After a full body examination of Chen Chen, the results were quickly obtained – apart from malnutrition, there were no other changes to Chen Chen's body.
At this time, Chen Chen also knew that Hannibal, who was infected at the same time as him, had already thawed and recovered three months ago.
At that time, Hannibal was almost at his limit. After all, he did not have Chen Chen's willpower, so Little X used the same method to freeze him. It was not until Chen Chen had completely devoured the Consciousness Stealer that Hannibal was thawed.
Now, Hannibal had returned to his post.
After replenishing his nutrients, Chen Chen stayed in the sanatorium of the Spire Experimental Base. Although the three months of hibernation had caused his life process to stagnate and consumed a lot of nutrients, what he needed to do now was to replenish these nutrients.
Lying on the soft bed, Chen Chen felt a wave of drowsiness again. He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep again...
However, something strange happened to Chen Chen. Just as he fell into a deep slumber, his consciousness woke up again. Chen Chen opened his eyes in a daze, but he found that he was not in the soft bed but back in the cryogenic chamber.
What was going on?
Chen Chen touched the walls of the cryogenic chambers on both sides in bewilderment. At the same time, a wave of weakness washed over him. He realized that he had become even weaker than before. With the faint green light on the walls, Chen Chen could only see a pair of withered palms.
At the same time, Chen Chen's brain was inexplicably dazed.
"What's going on, this is a phenomenon that only occurs after cryosleep, which means that I've been frozen for hundreds of years?"
Chen Chen's expression became even more puzzled. At this time, his memory seemed to be confused. He clearly remembered that he had woken up and left the cryogenic chamber, but what was happening now?
Was it a dream?
Or was it that what happened before was a dream and this was reality?
Chen Chen felt like his mind was a mess. He was just about to press the button next to him again to open the cryogenic chamber, but he heard an inexplicable vibration coming from outside the cryogenic chamber.
It seemed that someone was violently opening the cryogenic chamber...
Chen Chen frowned. The high-offset armor was known as the toughest material in the solar system. Apart from being directly hit by a nuclear bomb, it could not be destroyed by any natural or man-made disaster. It could only be opened from the inside. If it was Little X, she must know.
In other words, it was not Little X who was trying to open the cryogenic chamber outside...
If it was not Little X, then who could it be?
Thinking of this, a trace of madness and murderous intent appeared in Chen Chen's eyes...
