The pale mist came from all directions, turning the trees into black. At a glance, it seemed that the world was only black and white.
The left and right sides were covered with dead branches and leaves, covering the thick mud and stagnant water. A sour smell came out from the gaps in the branches and leaves, filling the world and lingering around the three of them, making people frown.
Yumimura pinched his nose and followed step by step, but his eyes scanned the surroundings a little uneasily. It was too dark, just like before the storm came. There was a thick mist in the forest, and it was extremely quiet everywhere.
Apart from their footsteps, there was no other sound, which made people feel uneasy.
"This place is so dark."
Asuka Xin, who was walking at the back, looked around all the way, but after walking for so long, there was no light at all. It was dark all the way, and there was a white mist, which greatly hindered the line of sight, and he couldn't see very far at all.
distance.
If the surrounding trees hadn't receded as they advanced, and there were only mist and swamps, it would have given people the illusion of standing still.
But compared to the mist rising in the forest, what is more disturbing is the disappearance of the light.
Obviously when flying in the sky, it was still bright, the blue sky and white clouds were so beautiful, but now, it is eerie and thick with fog. If it is matched with a BGM, it will be a rhythm that is full of weirdness.
Walking in such an environment, not to mention Yumimura Ryo, even Asuka Shin felt terrified.
But I still don’t understand why the brightness is so different at just one hundred and ten meters.
It's bright and bright above, and gloomy and gloomy below. It's like two different worlds.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Asuka Shin simply stretched his neck and shouted: "Captain, how far is it?"
"I don't know!"
Chiba Makoto, who was walking at the front, was also observing the surroundings. The dark trees, the gloomy white mist, and the extending road beneath his feet were like sharp swords, splitting open the seemingly endless swamp.
, divided into left and right sides.
Along the way, Chiba Cheng was counting silently. They were moving very fast. They could walk about a hundred meters in one minute. After walking for seven or eight minutes, they had already walked nearly a thousand meters.
However, there are no significant changes in the surroundings. There are still swamps and woods. The most strange thing is the thick fog. Even if you apply light to your eyes and achieve the effect of Ultra Eye for a short time, you can't see through this thick fog.
This alone is enough to prove that this is by no means an ordinary place.
However, Chiba Makoto hasn't found any abnormalities yet. It's like smelling a bad smell and knowing that something is broken, but he still needs to find out what is broken before he can trace the source and figure out what caused the thing to become rotten.
bad.
I walked and looked at it all the way, took samples and observed all the way. Those who didn’t know better thought it was a scientific investigation.
But this calmness did not last forever, because the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility became lower and lower. At the beginning, it was just like dusk, and as I walked, it gradually turned into the darkness before the storm.
But now it was no different from night, and no one could be seen just a few steps away, so the three of them all took out their tactical flashlights and turned on the lights that came with their helmets.
All the beams of light illuminated were a vast expanse of white, and the fog had shrunk from dozens of meters to a few meters. It could be said that it was very close at hand.
"Captain, something is not right."
Asuka Shin's hand had already been stretched out, and he subconsciously touched the Brest pistol, but after hesitating for a moment, he moved to the side and touched the transformer placed on his lower back, but after a pause,
He still didn't take it, but instead pulled out the Brest pistol and held it in his hand, ready for any eventuality.
Not only him, Yumimura Ryo also held the Brest pistol in his hand, watching the approaching fog warily, swallowing nervously, the fog was rolling and surging, just like the torrential flood, giving rise to
People feel like something is about to rush out from inside at any time.
"The fog has become thicker." Chiba Cheng frowned and stood in front of the two of them. Then he touched his waist with his right hand and pulled out a cyan Wind Element from the Ultra Dimension card box hanging on his belt.
The card swiped through the card slot in the center of the Dimensional Fighting Instrument.
"Wind element, activate!"
call!
A powerful hurricane blew out from the self-luminous Ultra Dimension Card. In the blink of an eye, it formed a tornado, whizzing forward and rolling up a large amount of thick fog. It rotated with the hurricane, and in the thick fog
Inside, a passage was cut out abruptly.
"Walk!"
Two elemental cards were activated in succession, and the energy of the cards was being consumed in seconds. Chiba Makoto did not dare to stop for long, and immediately rushed forward with Asuka Shin and Yumimura Ryo following the tornado.
The fog will not become thicker for no reason, there must be a reason, either it is close to a key location, or it is on the edge.
No matter what the situation is, it means that the emergence of clues is much better than continuing to fumble in this fog.
Sure enough, before running very far this time, changes appeared on both sides. The dead branches and leaves on the ground began to become thinner and fewer. The exposed ground was no longer mud and water, but soil and water.
Gravel, and from time to time you can see large and small stones lying on the ground.
Even the fog began to thin.
It was obvious that we were about to leave the range of the dense fog.
This made Feiniao Xin and the others very excited. Staying in the dark fog and smelling the humid and putrid smell was so depressing that they really didn't want to stay for a second longer.
"What is this?"
Asukaxin saw many gray-white vines on the ground, like ivy, growing wildly on the ground. Many of them were clinging to the rocks. They used their pale roots to grow along the main stems and pierced themselves deeply into the soil and rocks.
Firmly fixed, even if a tornado passes through, it will not be able to shake these vines.
And such vines and roots grow all over the ground, criss-crossing and weaving into a huge network, spread on the ground, covering a large area, so dense that it almost becomes a grassland. What I saw on the way here
The dense trees that arrived suddenly disappeared from the ground just like the vines suddenly appeared on the ground.
If you look to both sides, you can see that there is a clear dividing line between the vines and the forest. There are dense vines in the front and tall trees in the back.
"It's really weird."
Yumimura Ryoya saw something strange about the vines under his feet. They looked like they were one root at a time, but if you look closely at the source, you can find that these vines actually grow together. In other words, this large vine
, most likely an individual.
"These things look a bit familiar." Chiba Cheng put away the two element cards that had consumed most of the energy, stopped running, squatted down, and carefully observed these vines as thick as forearms. They looked a few
It looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.
After a little thought, I pulled out a monster from my memory: Gordis!
In the blown-to-piece Mikalite planet and the superimposed earth world, the Gordis encountered pierced themselves into the core of the planet, and then used vine-like tentacles to cover every corner of the planet, thereby maximizing
Efficiently sucking the energy of the planet until it drains a planet dry, then it flies to the next living planet and continues to repeat its journey of destruction.
The Gordis tentacles I encountered these two times were all in the shape of vines, very similar to the vines in front of me.
Could it be that there is a Godis on this planet?
Chiba Cheng was frowning as he thought and recalled. Asuka Shin had made a new discovery. Beside a stone not far away, he saw several vines intertwined together, forming an umbrella shape with a large top and a small bottom, secreting
The liquid that came out wrapped these vines like amber.
This was a strange appearance that Asuka Shin had never seen before, let alone heard of. He immediately approached it curiously, wanting to take a closer look at what it was and why it had such a strange appearance.
But just as Feiniaoxin was about to get closer, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Don't touch it, stay away from it."
The sudden sound startled Asukaxin, and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a panting person running over in the mist. Asukaxin took a closer look and immediately shouted: "Senior Xincheng!
"
The visitor was none other than Xincheng, the captain of the Lomus 3 who had been missing for quite some time.
It's just that the new city that appeared in front of Asuka Shin looked a little embarrassed.
Not only was his face dirty, but he was also unshaven, looking like someone in a wild grass field. His clothes were in tatters and had many cuts. On Earth, he would probably be a beggar.
Xincheng went up and down, looking at Feiniao Xin carefully to make sure that the other party had not encountered this strange vine combination, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No, just fine."
"Uh, Senior Xincheng, do you know what this is?"
Before Xincheng could answer, Chiba Cheng walked over and said, "Xincheng, are you okay?"
Seeing Chiba Cheng, Xincheng's slightly weathered face suddenly showed a smile and said: "Chiba, it's great that you are here."
"What happened? How did Lomus 3 get here?" Chiba Cheng immediately asked the question he was most concerned about, that is, how did Lomus 3 get from the orbit of Pluto to this strange planet?
On a strange planet.
"It's a long story. We'll talk about it on the way. Now let's get out of here." Xincheng said, urging everyone to leave quickly.
"Is there a problem here?"
Asuka Shin's question made Yumimura Ryo want to give him a big roll of his eyes. Isn't this an obvious thing? There was no need to ask.
"Walk!"
Chiba Makoto followed Xincheng to the front right, and Xincheng was also telling about their experiences.
After completing the survey mission to Pluto, Lomus 3 set off for Eris according to the scheduled plan. However, before reaching the destination, Lomus 3's detector discovered the planet. After obtaining the headquarters' information,
After agreeing, Lomus 3 diverted to the new planet, and then...
Chiba Cheng raised his hand to interrupt Xincheng's words, stared into Xincheng's eyes, and said: "Wait a minute, Xincheng, you said the headquarters agrees to your coming here?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xincheng looked at Chiba Cheng with some doubts, not understanding what was wrong with this.
"But the notification we received said that Lomus 3 had lost contact a long time ago," Yumimura Yoshi clearly remembered. The mission information said, "Lomus 3 lost contact in the orbit of Pluto. The communication has been still there."
It has not recovered,' but Senior Xincheng said that Lomus 3 contacted the headquarters after leaving the orbit of Pluto.
this...
Which one is true?
Who is lying?
Xincheng also gleaned something from their words and expressions, and his expression became serious. He nodded seriously and said: "We have indeed contacted the headquarters, and there is still a video of the communication on the spacecraft."
"..."
Asuka Shin and Yumimura Ryo looked at each other. Asuka Shin was scratching his head at these two words, and said: "But there was a problem with the Universe Network at that time. How did you communicate with the headquarters without any obstacles?"
Not to mention here, it is in the orbit of Pluto. If we rely on electromagnetic waves, the communication delay will be several hours long. The reason why Lomus 3 lost contact and took several hours to report is because there is a problem with the cosmic network and it cannot communicate in real time.
, could only communicate through traditional electromagnetic waves. As a result, even this failed to achieve communication connection, which made the Space Development Agency realize that there was a problem, and then reported it to the headquarters.
"It seems there is something strange here." Qianye Cheng said thoughtfully, and then continued to listen to Xincheng's story.
When they first arrived on this planet, they were shocked when they saw the blue sky, white clouds, green trees and flowing water. They were so shocked that they never expected that a vibrant planet would appear in this cold and dark world.
Shocked, shocked, but excited.
Because this is a great discovery that subverts humankind's understanding of the universe. Its historical achievements are comparable to the discovery of a new continent during the great voyages. It is likely to be recorded in the history books.
So Lomus 3 began to prepare to go down for investigation, but just as it was landing, a malfunction suddenly occurred, causing Lomus 3 to fall from the sky.
"Did you also fall?" Yumimura Ryo's latest thought was that the Victory Condor he was driving suddenly broke down without any warning, and then fell without giving him any time to react. Yumimura Ryo's fall
Machine record 1.
Previously, Yumimura Ryo thought it was an accident or malfunction, but when Shinjo said this, it seemed that this was not an accident or coincidence, but a deliberate man-made move.
"Afterwards, we checked the spacecraft and found that the engine received an emergency stop command, which caused the spacecraft to lose power. But everyone was together at the time, and no one had the chance to do this. And what is the point of doing this?" Xincheng
With a face full of confusion, he still doesn't know or find out who issued this instruction that may have led to the destruction of the ship and the death of people.
And now I heard that the Victory Condor also encountered the same situation, which made Xincheng have a guess in his mind, that is, it was not the people on the ship who did it, but...
