An obvious white line appeared among the clouds.
"I did not find any signals from the team members on the Phantom Star, and there was no feedback from Captain Mo Lianren's signal."
Dragon Vein drove an aircraft shaped like a flying saucer, carrying Lu Ning to move at high speed to the other side of the Magic Star. The maneuverability of this flying vehicle transformed from an escape capsule has surpassed that of a landing craft, but the external sealing structure has not been adjusted yet, otherwise it can directly conduct space navigation.
Baihu is also here, but she has remained silent since receiving Lu Ning. According to Longmai, she is worried about her team members. Lu Ning was not very surprised by this result. Tianmuyi's actions and changes were too hasty. People were involved in it without even having time to react. All kinds of accidents are actually normal. What she has to consider now is whether Mo Lianren Were the others blocked or the spatial coordinates given by Mo Ningyan were simply false.
Soon, Outpost No. 10 was seen in the clouds. Longmai let the escape capsule hover in the clouds and took a set of perspective scan images. After the high-speed processing results came out, the three people frowned at the same time.
There were very few soldiers left in the entire outpost, and there was no life response inside. Apparently all of them had been evacuated. A hole opened in the outpost as if it had been attacked, and Mo Ningyan was nowhere to be found. The strangest thing about the whole image is that there is a whole long blurry block in the several layers of the outpost, which means that the image cannot be analyzed.
The observer's technology is extremely handy for investigation. This is not an extremely harsh environment like the Giant Eye, so there are things that cannot be photographed?
"It's only in this area that we can't be sure whether anyone is present. Captain, the external shooting shows that the space point leading to Tianmuyi still exists. We don't need to go in."
"No, Dragon Vein, I want to see what Mo Ningyan is up to." Lu Ning shook her head, "Descent, you don't have to follow me."
"That's not possible. There are only three of us. If we get separated, we will have no place to look for." Longmai smiled, "Although I am not as good at fighting as Bayonet Spades, I can still fight twice with my combat uniform. If there is any danger, run away immediately. , I promise not to cause any trouble to you.”
Lu Ning was a little dumbfounded: "Land, let's go in and take a look."
The escape capsule landed safely in the square that had become very empty. Bai Hu followed Lu Ning and Longmai out silently, and had no objection to Lu Ning's decision. The three people arrived at the door of the outpost and were stopped by two mechanical soldiers there: "Outpost No. 10, please show your identity."
Lu Ning reported the code for receiving the weapon. The two mechanical soldiers were stunned for a moment and moved out of the way.
"Mo Ningyan doesn't seem to have restricted the right of way for this code." Lu Ning was also a little surprised. She was planning to dig in from another place if the road was blocked.
"The place numbered 001 rebuilt doesn't seem to have many problems. She just modified most of the rooms to produce a large number of soldiers. To this end, the surrounding mineral veins were almost hollowed out, and almost all the phantom beasts were hunted." Dragon Vein retrieved the information from the previous wide-area search of the escape cabin, "This is almost devastating to the ecology of this area. It seems that Captain Mo Ningyan has not prepared to take this piece of land on the Magic Star for a long time, so he can prepare it in advance." This army.”
"You quite admire her?" Lu Ning turned her head and asked.
"Captain, what you mentioned about Tianmu Yishang, isn't it possible to suppress it precisely because of the troops in her hands? More than 100,000 troops were all thrown into the battlefield, and the troops at Outpost No. 1 were risked to be completely wiped out. I really admire the courage to lock down the danger."
Lu Ning is not easy to talk to, so she can't say that it's just an easy thing for Mo Ningyan, right?
At this moment, Bai Hu suddenly spoke: "This corridor has experienced battles."
"Huh?" Longmai looked around and found no clues. Lu Ning carefully checked the surroundings with a detector, and then saw that part of the wall had been repainted.
"Blood stains and the like have been spattered on it. The outpost's automatic cleaning program will cut off a layer of the wall and then fill it up with metal coating fluid." White Fox whispered, "It seems that the outside has also been treated. That hole should be It was left over from the fight, and some enemy raided here."
"But since there are soldiers staying behind, it means that Mo Ningyan won in the end. Her soldiers will not listen to other people's orders without authorization, and those with authorization all went to Tianmuyi." Lu Ning said while comparing the map and walked to In front of a door.
Sensing someone approaching, the door opened automatically, and the crushed fragments of the culture chamber were scattered all over the floor. The vast house seemed to have been crushed hard, and everything turned into a flat piece. It even reminded Lu Ning of the original exploration outpost. The first body I saw while standing.
And with these contrasts, the huge clock formed by the wall on the opposite side of the room is even more conspicuous. That's where the blurry image that couldn't be taken is located.
A big clock? Why would Mo Ningyan build such a device at the outpost? Or does it just look like a clock?
Lu Ning's attention was first attracted by Zhong, but suddenly there was the sound of falling beside her. When she turned around, she saw it was dragon veins.
"What's wrong?"
"That...that..." Longmai covered his heart in shock, "I don't know what it is! Have you seen it?"
Following the direction of his finger, Lu Ning and Bai Hu looked below the clock.
A glass sink... This was the first cognition that came to his brain, but after that, Lu Ning suddenly felt a sense of nausea and fear. Some kind of animal instinct-like fear ran through his body in an instant, unlike what he had seen before. Compared with the monsters in all the scenes, this one gives the most direct terror, and it can also make people feel that it is worse than death.
Bai Hu's legs also weakened, and he knelt on the ground. He covered his mouth and retched several times, and his face turned a little blue.
Lu Ning knew that her expression was not much better. She was able to stand thanks to the mental will she had honed in so many scenes. But if she took one more look, she might be so scared that she could no longer move even half a step. .
"Mo Ningyan... really prepared something good..."
Lu Ning closed her eyes and tried to expel the feeling she just saw from her mind. So far, she has not figured out the nature of that thing, but she already understands the danger of that thing.
At this moment, the surrounding lights dimmed, the clock device disappeared into the darkness, a beam of light hit the center of the room, and Mo Ningyan's voice sounded.
[The person who triggered this certification should be Lu Ning. I set up a little delay, so you should have seen what I have in store for you.
What I want to defeat you is not a boring victory or defeat in terms of force. This is a test I give you and a test you give me. I've turned Outpost 10 into a Karma Clock - I gave it the name - and all you have to do is find another solution before things get so bad that I have to activate it.
This mission requires a perfect ending or eternal burial. If you can't do the former, I will choose the latter. It's that simple. Of course, you can also try to stop the karma clock, but I don't think you can do it because I can't do it myself.
I have already gone to Tianmu One, and the final battlefield is opening up. The return node there has been destroyed by a certain A-level being and is now invalid. If it is not repaired, everyone on Tianmu One will die, and this is not perfect either. of.
Prove to me that you deserve that victory. You have defeated time, so this time you will transcend cause and effect. 】
This guy really dares to say...
"Victory over time? What do you mean?"
"I didn't know that Captain Lu Ning had ever had such great achievements."
The two people behind him immediately expressed their doubts about the last sentence.
Lu Ning held her forehead. Did Mo Ningyan never think that she might bring someone in? She must have thought about it, she said this on purpose! In addition to the huge test in front of her, he actually gave her a little stumbling block. This guy was a lot more evil than he seemed on the surface.
However, after she explained from the side, Lu Ning's remaining fear faded a lot. When the light came back on, she didn't look at the clock again. Even now that she knew the general purpose of the clock, she couldn't offset that fear, because that fear came from a cognitive attack on her sixth sense, which she couldn't control at all.
Karma Clock... This is what the data says, Mo Ningyan once caused some irreversible damage in a certain scene.
After she learned about Mo Ningyan's existence, she also did some research. There was always someone in Rose Cross who knew some secret information. With the help of friends like Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan, she quickly found out who had been with Mo Ningyan. Information about tourists who survived in the same scene.
Rosicrucian funded them to deal with the soul pollution, but the memories of these tourists were almost washed away into a blank piece of paper. After a certain amount of guidance at the distribution center, they slowly used knowledge and experience to make up for this missing part. During this period, there were also people Die in the scene.
There is no information about that scene at all. We can only judge from the noise that was made. Mo Ningyan made a lot of noise. Even if she just made an unintentional mistake that time, after being able to do it once, she will definitely turn this strategy into a weapon with her intelligence.
"We have destroyed this place. Anyway, no matter what the device is, as long as it stops running..." Longmai raised his gun, covered his eyes and pointed at the Karma Clock. Lu Ning immediately pressed his hand: "Forget it, conventional weapons can only deal with conventional targets. A stone can destroy it before it is officially operational, but now ordinary attacks cannot stop it at all."
"Captain Lu Ning knows what this is?" Bai Hu asked.
"I know, but there's nothing I can do." Lu Ning shook her head, "Let me put it simply, this is the countdown to life that Mo Ningyan has prepared for this galaxy."
"Star - wait, galaxy?" Dragon Vein was shocked, "A weapon that destroys the galaxy with one blow? The Alliance doesn't have any other than star detonation devices, right? And that has to be used only when the star itself is of moderate mass. This thing..."
"With the technology of the Rangers and Observers, you can't just think about the level that the alliance can achieve. To be honest, the technological level of the battlefield in this galaxy has far exceeded the friction between the several alliances there. .”
Lu Ning shook her head, trying to expel the last influence of the Karma Clock from her mind.
"But since Mo Ningyan said Tianmuyi, I still have to go back. Our people are all over there, and we have to bring them back."
"Then I-"
"Longmai, you have to drive the escape capsule back. You have to repair the space flight parts of the escape capsule as much as possible. We have to leave a backup for our return." Lu Ning did not let Longmai speak and immediately assigned him a task. Then she looked at Bai Hu again: "Bai Hu, I don't have the qualifications to give you direct orders. You can decide whether you want to stay or not."
"I will go to Tianmuyi." Bai Hu said decisively, "I will be with the team members in all battles, and I will not be absent this time."
"You are a good adjutant." Lu Ning patted her shoulder, "There should be extra equipment. Let's change it."
"It's you, Captain Lu Ning. The injuries you sustained from the battle with the A-level phantom have not healed yet. This has an impact on your body movements and reactions. I do not recommend that you return to the most dangerous state again in this state. War zone." Bai Hu followed up and said.
"You are unwilling to miss any of your adjutants. As the captain, I can't pick up my team members?"
"So... it's just a suggestion." Bai Hu smiled slightly, "Then let's go?"
"Set off."
Longmai also laughed: "Be careful along the way, we will definitely drive an escape cabin to pick you up, captain!"
"Dragon Vein, you have never let me down. Keep it up until the end."

"Xiang Yi, you did it."
Sun Tianfeng's voice came from the communicator, and Xiang Yi snorted.
"Why do you want to destroy the node? How do we leave? There is no oxygen in this damn place. The space suit's oxygen reserve can last up to three days! Do you plan to suffocate us all in three days?" Sun Tianfeng's voice was a little angry.
"Old Sun, don't you understand who I am?" Xiang Yi pulled out the dagger from his waist and showed a bloody smile, "Look, those guys always want to escape from the node if they can't defeat Class A. There is an escape route. This means there is no determination to fight desperately. Only when you know that you are fighting a last-ditch battle will you really fight to stay alive and buy more time. Three days... is not a problem."
"Three days is not a problem? What do you want to do, you bastard? You haven't informed me yet?"
"It's not what I want to do. The blue giant is less than three days away from erupting. In this case, what's the point of leaving as much oxygen as possible? If we don't solve these things, we can just sit down and watch the supernova together. If we solve them, we can be rescued. What's the difference? "Xiang Yi inserted the knife into the crack of the door, slid it down, and easily cut off the internal lock.
“What can be solved that will lead to rescue?”
"I want those tourists who think they are just to use up all their energy." He roared excitedly from the depths of his throat, "Because of this, Outpost No. 1 must be actually destroyed. Old Sun, I I'm here to help you. Du Xieyi is too strong, and Mo Ningyan is too strong. If we use ordinary things to delay them, we will only destroy ourselves. We must put the burden of the entire galaxy on them before we can crush them to death. "
Sun Tianfeng started to curse, and Xiang Yi turned off the communication directly.
The door was opened, and inside was a network of countless pipelines and blood vessels, which bound a person. He heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes.
"Who are you?"
After these words, a throwing knife was nailed into his neck.
"Since your death, the Astrophage Project has been on the verge of failure."
