【Chapter 387】Tragic helplessness
"Something is wrong here!"
This was Du Jin's first reaction when he saw the scene in front of him. Then Du Jin asked Xiao Ai to use a holographic computing device in the lobby that was connected to the intranet to start searching and scanning the entire headquarters building, but the structure made it difficult for Du Jin to Jin was a little surprised. The whole building was almost empty. Whether they were civilians, soldiers, or the cultists of the Unity Sect, they all seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"Strange? Has everyone gone to the battlefield? This is impossible. At least some of them have to be left to defend their hometowns. Otherwise, personnel mobilization or battle situation coordination will be completely at a standstill, or those who go to the battlefield will be Do you want to risk your own death and fight alone? If it is controlled by the blood seal, it is indeed possible..."
"Master, Xiao Ai found a security facility for emergency evacuation 20 meters below this building, but the situation there is somewhat special."
"Something special?"
Du Jin took a look at Xiao Ai's monitoring information with some doubts. He didn't know it, but he was shocked. According to the data fed back by the monitoring probe there, there was already a large number of people there, and it was far more than After seeing the reasonable accommodation range of that facility, Du Jin couldn't help but think of Brother Asan's magical space compression technology. A bus full of 50 people in Xia Guo might be able to fit 100 or more people in, but this was just A guess, what appeared in front of Du Jin was obviously an even more abnormal situation.
"Xiao Ai, is there any way to get the image data there?"
"Master, I'm sorry (；′д｀)ゞThat facility seems to be an emergency facility a long time ago. It is only equipped with basic life support systems and life monitoring systems. No other auxiliary equipment is installed, and the equipment terminal network interface there is It is a very old version, and Xiao Ai has reached the limit of letting the main control system confirm the command to read data!"
After hearing Xiao Ai's words, Du Jin lowered his head and thought for a moment, but he didn't understand what the brainless commander of the Second Airborne Corps wanted to do. Could it be that he knew that defeat was certain and wanted to commit suicide in the basement with his subordinates in fear of crime? To atone for the crimes he committed due to the control of the blood seal? This may not be realistic, after all, Xiao Ai also didn't know about the special blood-seal creation Liu Zaijie mentioned in this building.
In fact, Du Jin has discovered this a long time ago. After all, he was able to absorb the spiritual body of a blood seal before. With the scope of the Heyi Sect's influence on Ganymede, a blood seal is already the limit. It is even possible that there is a blood seal on Ganymede. It was just some kind of high-sequence blood seal creation, but since entering here, Du Jin did not notice the existence of any blood seal original power except for falling on the Heyi Cult member who was alienated for unknown reasons. , did those members of the Unity Church leave because of some threats, or that they had accomplished some purpose?
Just when he was doubting, there was another violent vibration on the ground. The war situation outside was obviously becoming more and more difficult to control. What Du Jin had to do was not only to gain the support of the military government represented by Feng Ji, but also to finally The most important thing is to keep the people in this residential area alive. Destroying the source of the blood seal that causes mental erosion is the most effective way in Du Jin's opinion.
Du Jin then prepared to go to the underground defense facility where there was obviously an abnormality. After all, that was the entry point for everything. Even if it was just an escape passage for the Heyi Sect, he might be able to find a way to remove the blood seal corrosion, and right there At this time, a strange creature flashed through the window of a room not far from Du Jin. Although Du Jin did not notice it, Xiao Ai would not let go of this abnormality, so he immediately reminded Du Jin. Looking at the biological monitoring data Xiao Ai gave him, Du Jin suddenly had a bad feeling. After all, according to the data, the creature had no vital signs at all.
"Necromorph?"
Du Jin immediately judged his identity, and also realized that the situation was quite serious. The appearance of the corpse not only meant that there was a red blood mark nearby, but also meant that the blood mark had completed the first stage. This stage That is, after being discovered by intelligent creatures, they are tempted by specific spiritual temptations such as simple structure and endless energy to make the intelligent creatures believe in and worship themselves to expand their influence → and then use spiritual waves to interfere with the creatures to cause them to become the cause of various killings. dead body.
But what puzzles Du Jin is that the troops affiliated with the Second Airborne Corps headquarters are still on the battlefield, fighting Liu Zaijie's troops. Although they have been affected, they have not yet reached the point of killing each other. From some surveillance backdoors left by Xiao Ai in the residential area, we can know that those residents were actually corroded by the power of the blood seal and started the prologue of the killing. There are no traces of blood or battle in the command headquarters, and Du Jin The information learned is obviously different.
"Is it because the spirit body of this blood mark has been swallowed by me, so it is greatly restricted in its spread and erosion? Otherwise, from an efficiency perspective, it should first let the soldiers start killing, so that an extremely large number of corpses can be created , and then transforming them into necromorphs will only allow those people to start transforming, which is obviously much less efficient."
After thinking about it for a moment, Du Jin felt that his guess was more and more reasonable, so he immediately followed Xiao Ai's guidance and walked through the complex corridors of the building, and soon found the corpse wandering aimlessly. Seeing him, Du Jin discovered that there were obvious differences between it and the necromorphs he had fought on the Eden. In appearance, this necromorph looked more like a forcibly transformed humanoid monster, although its limbs , face and body are very obviously different from normal people, but they are still in the category of human beings, instead of evolving blade-like arms like the previous necromorphs, and heads and heads that are scattered like octopuses. jaw.
Rather than being controlled by the blood seal to fuse and transform with other biological tissues, Du Jin believed that he was just a human being implanted with a certain virus that caused changes in the DNA sequence. He tried to see if he could make it through the contact of consciousness. He escaped from the current miserable situation, but the result was indeed in vain. After all, he was dead. This was a fact that could not be reversed. And the miserable man also saw Du Jin at this time, and then stumbled and relied on instinct to reach out his hand to attack Du Jin. , Du Jin shook his head and mourned for the man in his heart, then shot him in the head.
The alienated man immediately fell down, and his distorted face seemed to show some relief. When Du Jin came to him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart. Not long ago, this man was just like himself, a living human being with his own personality. His life, family and future, but from the moment the blood mark appeared here, his fate reversed. Du Jin felt that maybe he could have prevented these tragedies by arriving a few days earlier, but that was only his own. Conjecture, after all, just as the future cannot be predicted, the past cannot be repeated.
But Du Jin did not leave, but waited for a moment beside the man. Strictly speaking, necromorphs are biological robots. The red blood mark reorganizes corpses in units of cells and assembles corpses into biological robots for various purposes, driving these The energy of the robots comes from the energy of the blood seal, so as long as the divine seals that control these robots are not destroyed, the zombies are almost unkillable. However, after this man was terminated by Du Jin, Du Jin did not observe that he had reorganized or It is a trend of regeneration. Judging from Xiao Ai's scan, its cell activity has declined to a critical value and it is impossible to reproduce itself.
"What does that blood mark want to do?"
Du Jin dropped a particle dissolving grenade. The man's body began to be swallowed up by the particle the moment it came into contact with it and then began to melt rapidly. Although Du Jin had doubts in his heart, he could only know it when he easily saw the blood mark. The answer, soon, he found the descending device leading to the underground facility under Xiao Ai's guidance, but unfortunately, it was a one-way vertical lifting device, and the only controlled physical silence was 20 meters below. In the underground facilities, Xiao Ai is powerless to deal with this ancient mechanical effect. The lower the level of intelligence of the facility, the more difficult it is for Xiao Ai to find a way to start. If there are any controllable problems in the underground facilities, device, Xiao Ai can control it to activate this ancient mechanical system.
But unfortunately, there is no similar equipment. This underground facility is probably designed to prevent external information intrusion and technological intervention at any level, but Xiao Ai has no choice. Du Jin still thought of a somewhat special idea. Since the elevator can't come up, can't I just go down directly? Although the exoskeleton on his body does not have the function of space deployment, the height of 20 meters is not difficult for the armor's protection level. The people who designed this underground facility may not have thought that there would be such a thing that would not leave. Common sense person.
Du Jin used the power of the exoskeleton armor and the particle cutting device on his hand to quickly open the outer protective door of the lifting device. When he saw the dark passage leading to the underground, he first asked Xiao Ai to roughly scan whether there was anything there. After it was confirmed that there was no problem with the self-defense weapon system, Du Jin took a deep breath and jumped directly. The light on his armor fell rapidly in the darkness. When he was about to reach the bottom, the armor automatically turned on the gravity slowdown system. Under the backlash of artificial gravity, Du Jin fell to the bottom smoothly. Of course, Xiao Ai's help and coordination were indispensable in this process, otherwise Du Jin would most likely fall to pieces due to imbalance.
