Lu Ning successfully passed through the last layer of imaginary number space. The sense of time at that moment was a bit confusing, but the environmental readings fed back by the instrument immediately jumped from unsurvivable to livable.
This is Outpost No. 1. One of the functions of the "Ascension System" is to dig out an ecological circle directly from the Phantom Star and retain the internal ecological cycle. Otherwise, the artificially created ecological environment alone will not be the entire planet. The environmental transformation plan cannot guarantee ecological balance.
But after speaking so environmentally friendly, Lu Ning raised her head and saw a deformed steel city.
"Team...Captain..." Spade, the lucky boy, was the first to follow Lu Ning out of the imaginary space. He was also shocked by the building that appeared in front of him, not because of its scale, but because of its appearance that challenged human aesthetics. .
You can vaguely see the main body of a hexagonal city wall, which is the only regular figure in the field of vision. A large number of pipelines, loads, hooks, pulleys and other things protruded from the city wall, forming a chaotic network with each other. If this building were compared to a person, his body would be covered with protruding blood vessels and tumors... That's what it looked like.
Then the people who came out of the imaginary number space were also shocked by the ugliness of the building. Mo Lianren even knocked on his helmet, suspecting that there was something wrong with the optical photography.
"This is Outpost No. 1?"
In fact, everyone asked Pan Oak some questions before coming. He still retained some loyalty to the outpost, so he didn't talk about important positions, but he showed an indescribable expression about his appearance. Now everyone finally knows why Pan Oak is like that. This building is really difficult to describe in words except taking pictures.
"Where's the entrance? How do we get in?" Spades asked slowly.
"Does this external structure still have an entrance? We can just climb in, right?" Kong Gu pointed at the various machines extending from the corner to the top of the high wall.
The people present can climb up from such a place full of footholds with some auxiliary tools, even with spider silk and insect bait that are least relevant to combat. Lu Ning thought for a while, even if there was a trap here, he still had to test it, so he led the team towards the base of the wall.
This space is isolated from the outside world. When you raise your head, you can only see the gray dome, without the universe and stars. Lu Ning first studied the machines. They were indeed performing some "work", and many of them extended into the wall, and were not piled up on the periphery in a meaningless manner. At the same time, they do not have detection capabilities, which means climbing up will not trigger some alarms.
Then I used an imaginary number penetration device to check, and found that there were no traces of imaginary number space near the city wall, and there was no investigative network of this type of technology.
"Go up." She put her hand on a pipe and could feel a slight vibration inside, as if fluid was flowing through it. Lu Ning refrained from exploring what was inside, and began to climb up quickly with the help of surrounding footholds.
The total height of the city wall is only about twenty meters, and climbing it is almost effortless in low gravity conditions. Lu Ning quickly reached the last metal bar with the help of a hook, and jumped onto the city wall with one leap.
"Captain, how's it going?"
"It's just as messy inside as it is outside." Lu Ning squatted on the wall and took a look at the city.
The streets are twisted and have no geometric shapes at all, the houses are so crooked that it makes people dizzy just looking at them, and the colors are enough to be called light pollution, just like a pile of bricks that have just been poured out.
This was the first time for Lu Ning to see a real-life scene that made people feel disturbed just by seeing it. To be honest, her acceptance level of blood might be a little higher. She squatted down and slid down a pipeline that made seven or eight turns. However, when she actually stood in Outpost No. 1, there was still no alarm.
No one - according to what Pan Oak said, when he took the people away, there should be nearly a thousand people in the outpost. In addition, the human cloning plan had been launched at that time. After so many years, at least two batches of clones could be born. Finish. But now there is still nothing.
Lu Ning lowered his head and tried his command. All the biomechanical soldiers stayed outside. These soldiers were not smart enough to use the penetration devices, and he could not contact them now.
"Hey." Mo Lianren jumped down from a height of three meters and landed lightly.
"Mity, something is wrong here."
"There's not a single person... there's definitely something wrong."
Referring to the situation of the outposts on the Phantom Star, even if there is no one, various robots should be busy with their own work, not to mention the internal defense network. Now this place seems to be deserted. Except for the noise of surrounding machinery that proves the operation of this place, it is no different from a dead city.
"Nothing is right."
Pang Xu dared to directly send hydrogen bombs to blow up ships far away from the edge of the galaxy. It stands to reason that at least the industrial development here has not fallen behind at all. Even if this steel city does have the smell of heavy industry - it can't be empty!
After Lu Ning finished speaking, she walked towards the nearest building.
This building has many "corners" that go in and out. It is about five meters tall, which is relatively short. A large number of pipes protruded from the walls and were connected to the ground. A dozen small chimneys scattered around the place spewed out white steam from time to time. It took Lu Ning some time to find the "door" recessed in the wall.
At this time, the remaining people had also come down one after another. Seeing Lu Ning's actions, they all raised their weapons and stood on guard around them. The remaining people pointed their guns directly at the door.
Lu Ning turned sideways and pressed the button on the door, then hid behind the wall. At this moment, a force like a whirlwind rushed out from the door. At the same time, a large amount of white steam spurted out and wrapped around the room. Lu Ning could clearly see the bullet-like spiral in the white mist. It flew about three meters out of the house and disappeared suddenly, and then the steam slowly dissipated.
"Huh? It's... it's a person..."
Just when everyone was about to greet them with grenades, a hoarse voice sounded in the room.
"Who is inside?"
The voice trembled obviously when it heard the echo, and then shouted: "Please! Please come in! I won't attack... No!"
"We can't believe you." Mo Lianren said, "Tell us your identity!"
"I was captured by...Outpost No. 1...! This is betrayal! My name is Wu Rui..."
Lu Ning quickly searched in his information and found that there was indeed such a person in the advance team, an ordinary soldier.
"What's going on in this room? What's wrong with you? How did you launch the attack just now?" She asked three questions in a row.
"This is a prison! I don't know! They didn't tell us anything! Everything is obviously fine!" Wu Rui's voice was filled with tears, "Then...I'm here. I haven't seen anyone in a long time, only machines. Talk to me! Let me out!"
"What did Outpost No. 1 do..." Spider Silk took a step up the steps, but Lu Ning immediately gestured for her to stop.
"team leader?"
"How is your health?"
"I-I'm fine! They provided some food! I'm healthy!" Wu Rui shouted, "You must be the rescuers! Outpost No. 1 has rebelled! Their behavior is abnormal, we must Suppress!”
"I can go in and take a look," Bayonet said. "It would be best if I could see what's going on inside."
"The drone is fine, you don't need to go in." Qiu Shu took off a reconnaissance drone, "We can even prepare some things just in case..."
[Sir, I don’t recommend you do this kind of thing. 】
The sudden appearance of a mechanical sound startled everyone, and Spades turned around and fired a shot. The bullet hit a piece of metal and caused a shower of sparks.
This is a man wearing black armor, and even his head is wrapped in a solid metal helmet. In fact, it is impossible to confirm whether there is a flesh and blood body under the metal shell. The only judgment at present is that this person's movements are quite agile.
"Who are you?" Lu Ning pointed a gun at his feet, "Even if your defense is superior, we still have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"Please don't show such hostility - I'm a researcher at Outpost No. 1. I'm just passing by because I need to get some information." The black armor hurriedly spread his hands, "Also, the people inside are A-level potential mutants. , if you don’t want to release an A-level fantasy beast, it’s best not to check the opposite side.”
"What?" Lu Ning understood a little bit, but still pretended not to understand.
"He was locked up because he was dangerous. We can't just kill him or give him freedom. These will cause a lot of trouble. We can try to kill an A-level fantasy beast, but..." Black Armor turned to look. Take a look at the rest of the houses.
"You mean these are all similar?" Mo Lianren was surprised.
"Both." Black Armor nodded, "I have received news of powerful cutting star attacks from the outside world. I did not expect that alliance technology has developed like this in recent years."
"We came with the same purpose." Lu Ning said tentatively, "Your attack on the starship has angered them. Outpost No. 1 will be destroyed and you will not be able to escape."
"Threats are useless to us, we will all die." Black Armor didn't care at all, "But not now, everything must wait until the suppression is completed. In fact, there are not many living 'people' here, most of them have become potential There are only a few mutants who can maintain rationality. The only one among them is the person named Wu Rui."
"What is the potential mutant?" Spider Silk asked.
"Ah, since you have come here and passed the imaginary space defense, you should also know something about what happened on the Phantom Star, right? Phantom Star Syndrome, this disease has not disappeared after leaving the Phantom Star, it still exists among us In everyone's mind. As time goes by, some people have experienced atavism. Their genes have become unstable again and become susceptible to interference from surrounding information." The black armor raised his hand and made a half circle. "They must be locked up alone and not receive external information stimulation. The room where they are imprisoned must also contain a large amount of complex and difficult-to-understand structural information. Otherwise, once the information is accumulated, their bodies will react differently."
"You just said it couldn't be killed?" Bugbait asked in a low voice.
"Yes, no matter how you die, the intense emotions generated when you die may cause unpredictable changes in yourself. This is not a theory, but a fact that has happened." The black armor lowered his head and glanced at his wrist. Only then did I realize that there was something like a watch there.
"If you are willing to communicate, I don't mind telling you some things here. The genes in your body should be relatively stable, but please don't think too much, otherwise I will have to enter my own prison."
"...Please lead the way." Lu Ning ignored Wu Rui's shouting in the room and walked down the steps.
"Thank you for your trust."
"How are you going to deal with the attack from outside? The location of Outpost 1 must have been exposed."
"The imaginary number space can not only filter attacks, but also conceal some deployments. The device in your hands can scan space, but it will not scan the entire third eye and the surrounding universe."

At this time, in the outside world, more and more teams are launching satellites into the sky, and the global satellite observation system for Tianmuyi has been completed. Many people were frightened by the traces of network cuts on the surface, but the only blank spot also happened to mark the actual location of Outpost No. 1. All that was needed was to rush there.
Mo Ningyan's troops were about to arrive, but someone still wanted to strike first and activated the satellite cannon.
You can't attack the outpost, but hollowing out the surrounding area isn't always a problem.
But at this moment, the stars in the sky suddenly twisted, and then countless small dark gray particles were suddenly mixed in between the bright starlight.
They are densely packed, covering the sky above the Phantom Star.
=
"Many sky thunders have been placed in the surrounding cosmic space, but they are all covered with imaginary number space. These sky thunders use terminal iron fusion, and ordinary aerospace materials cannot resist them."
Final iron fusion, that is, nuclear fusion in which matter continuously fuses to the most stable state of iron, is a weapon that simulates the end of stars. The alliance has not yet completed the development of this weapon.
The gray particles began to glow one after another, bright and deadly. At that moment, the entire Tianmuyi ushered in daylight.
All the satellites floating in the sky were destroyed, and then strong radiation and shock waves spread to the surface of Tianmuyi. The magnitude of these sky thunders is naturally far inferior to that of stars, but once they accumulate in quantity, it will be a devastating disaster for the surface of the earth.
Have you ever been illuminated by a thousand dying suns? Nowadays, most people on the ground who have not had time to build underground bunkers have been washed away by such a destructive particle flow. Colorful patterns have begun to appear in the sky after the first explosion. The wonders of astronomy are in conflict with each other and a battle for the universe has begun. Death fell immediately on the unprepared people. The rays destroyed cell structures, dissolved cell membranes, and even ignited the human body from the inside. The biological parts of the biomechanical soldiers were also not exempt from this devastating killing. .
At this time, looking from the Phantom Star, the sky is so bright that it seems as if it is starting to glow.
