Chapter 355: The Polluter
Xiao Yao had to admit that the Riel race had a "human nature" that was very close to humans, but they also had a cold and mechanical "team consciousness". They could accept "individual sacrifice for the group" more easily than humans.
, this may be one of the reasons why the Riel civilization can complete global unification faster than human civilization and enter the cosmic era faster.
However, Xiao Yao does not think this is an advantage - such a blind emphasis on the overall interests and squeezing the individual self as much as possible means that the soil for the birth of heroes is almost wiped out.
Everyone can become a hero of civilization, which means there are no real heroes.
After learning about the cruel verdict from the top management, the Riels on the starship, after the initial anxiety, anger, dissatisfaction and despair, collectively calmed down at a speed that Xiao Yao could not have expected. It was only less than a day of hysteria.
That’s all——
They accepted the high-level verdict, but put forward some additional conditions of their own: such as communicating with relatives regularly, asking for improved living conditions, etc...
As Xiao Yao and Xiao Hui looked at each other in surprise, the negotiation between the starship and the higher-ups came to an end, and Xiao Yao finally understood why Salatil chose to directly speak out the upper-level's verdict without any modifications——
Such a reaction was also what she expected.
"Different species, different ways of thinking... It's really hard to understand." Xiao Yao sighed sincerely, "Although it seems that this method of processing is perfect, I have to say, if I was really there at that time
If so, I might have blown up the bottom warehouse halfway..."
Xiao Hui nodded vigorously in approval and stuffed the last snack into his mouth.
Subsequently, the challenge of Riel Civilization risking everything officially began.
With this newly built space station as the origin of coordinates, it seems as if the entire universe is spinning crazily at its core, with meteors passing by, stars breathing... countless magnificent spectacles appear one after another, reflecting the civilizational epic that is about to unfold.
Mortal body, dissected by gods.
…
Three years later.
The piercing sirens exploded in an instant, and the red lights flashed
The entire metal corridor flickered, and this metal city suspended in the universe was once again under the highest level of alert.
"Alarm in District 14, the polluter appears again, the pollution level of the old seal has reached level four! Alert level four! The execution team has been dispatched!"
The harsh sound echoed in the huge space station along with the siren. All Riel who were still working stopped their work immediately and went to the nearest shelter in unison - this is a habitual action
, the Riels are already very familiar with it.
A hoarse and low roar echoed in the empty corridor. The sound penetrated like nails scraping glass, like the dark wind blowing from the cave leading to the ground... It was not the sound of any living thing.
The sounds that the organs can produce are thick and bloody, and they are simply echoes from hell!
Even the almost completely soundproof shelter could not completely stop the spread of this roaring sound. The Riels covered their ears with their hands in tacit agreement, and a special mark on their wrists shone with scarlet luster.
It is a new technology developed by the Riels in the past few years - a special energy brand named "Old Seal". Its characteristic is that it is extremely sensitive to the pollution of the past. As the pollution of the past worsens,
, the light it emits will become more and more intense.
This is a device used to monitor the mental state of Riels. The medical team is on standby to treat Riels whose old seal's light is too strong. When the light intensity of the old seal reaches a certain level, an alarm will be triggered - which means that the old seal's light intensity is too strong.
The pollution of the Japanese power has reached an extremely terrifying level, the loss of sanity is irreversible, and the entire Riel... will mutate into a complete monster.
"Let's go! The footprints lead here!" Salatir, who was holding a laser gun in his hand, shouted anxiously, "The polluter has completely lost control. Everyone, please be vigilant!"
In front of the execution team led by Salatir was a Riel lying in a pool of blood. All his internal organs were turned out, as if he had been ravaged by wild beasts, and the scattered footprints in the blood extended in one direction.
.
The execution team clenched the weapons in their hands and nervously moved forward quickly along the bloody footprints. The old marks on their hands flickered slightly.
The scarlet light seemed to reflect the owner's nervous mood.
"No! This direction... the polluters are going to the bottom warehouse?" Yourui suddenly became alert and exclaimed subconsciously.
The bottom warehouse is the biggest and deepest nightmare in the entire space station, the source of all the power of the past...the place where all the corpses of the past are placed.
Salatiel's vigilance was instantly raised to its peak. She ignored the dangers that might be hidden in the darkness, gritted her teeth and rushed down the corridor quickly - that was the bottom line of the entire space station, and not even the slightest threat could be tolerated.
allowed to exist.
Otherwise, not only this small space station will be destroyed.
They walked through the last, slightly normal corridor, and the atmosphere of the entire space station corridor changed. The metal walls that were supposed to be indestructible spread out with spiderweb-like cracks. If you look closely, you can see desecrated flesh and blood tissue in those cracks, like
Plant roots generally spread on the bottom floor of the space station.
The remnants of the old gods coexist with the space station in such a strange way.
Salatir couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen if the polluter really came into contact with the corpses of the past in such a strange and terrifying place.
The firing squad quickly walked through the last corridor. They followed the bloody footprints on the floor and approached the warehouse door that blocked the nightmare. Everything seemed to hint at the worst ending.
However, the extremely tense atmosphere disappeared with just one sentence.
"It's okay, Captain, it's already dead." The Riel standing in the shadow slowly walked out, dragging a mutated Riel corpse in his hand, and the mutated head was covered by his
Hold it in the other hand.
The skin around Riel's body was covered with dark lines, and the muscles expanded and squeezed on everything in a completely unnatural way. His chest was squeezed out by the crazy growth of tissue inside, and countless bright red tentacle-like objects spread out.
It is obvious that if it is swept by these tentacles, it may not just be as simple as breaking a small hole.
