Chapter 270 Breaking Through the Ending White Night (8)

Black Shark Base.

"Cough cough...!"

The lid of the dormant compartment popped open, followed by the sound of water crashing.

A figure woke up from dormancy, hunched over, coughing and panting violently, and the back of the hands holding the edge of the warehouse were bulging with blue veins.

"Cough, huh..." Xie Yuduo's face was pale, panting heavily, and it took a long time for his eyes to focus.

Steady but hurried footsteps sounded, and the dim space was illuminated by the approaching light.

Sylph held the smart levitating light in one hand, took three steps and two steps, and half-kneeled in front of Xie Yuduo: "Major General Xie, please relax, you are now at the Black Shark Base."

Xie Yuduo said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter to me, how is the battle situation, Crystal Nest..."

When the words reached his mouth, the major general pressed his eyebrows and shook his head again, and read out the coordinates of the parent nucleus in his memory first.

Sylph immediately turned on the wrist phone to record, and the micro communicator hanging in his ear flashed: "Report to the leader! A communication request was sent from the command room, and His Royal Highness Jiang asked about the status of the crystal nest."

The leader: "Understood, tell that General Xie is back, please call me directly on the wrist phone."

A few seconds later, the wrist phone projected a virtual image of Jiang Jianming and Ryan.

"Major General Xie," Jiang Jianming leaned forward and spoke quickly, "I'm sorry for not having time to offer my condolences, but first tell me what happened in the crystal nest?"

Ryan was even more rude: "How did you die? Did you see the mother nucleus? You can't trust your memory alone. How many people who have died will be called here!"

Sylph put a coat on Xie Yuduo, and Master Fu stood up from the dormant warehouse and sat on the chair.

Xie Yuduo's spirit has stabilized a lot, and Li Suo replied: "Oh, the lower official committed suicide."

"At that time, the young leader of the lava penetrated the surface of the crystal, and the crystal began to explode like a mad... Hephaestus was directly pierced into a sieve and submerged in the crystal."

"Yin Beidou followed and attacked, and Xiaguan watched as the crystal revealed what looked like a cave. It wasn't big, just a round hole in which two or three people hugged."

"There seems to be a snow-white crystal block in the depths of the hole. I didn't see it clearly. At that time, the crystal particles flowed out..."

"I've never felt that level of oppression. I don't know why, but I instinctively felt it was worse. I just wanted to come back as soon as possible and report the coordinates. I subconsciously wiped my neck with the crystal bone."

"Others," said here, Xie Yuduo turned his head, "Should they come back, right?"

Just then, he heard a noise behind him. The members of the base ran back and forth between the dormant bins, and someone exclaimed: "Leader!"

"The mental consciousness of Matrix 284 is abnormal, and the radio waves are chaotic..."

Xie Yuduo was taken aback. Sylph turned around suddenly, frowning: "What?"

"Substrate 284 is confirmed dead!"

"Wait, that's not right... Chief, please come and see."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Jianming said in a deep voice, and looked at Le'an again, "Your Highness, the situation doesn't seem to be right, let's go and have a look."

The two figures disappeared in mid-air, and the communication was cut off.

Xie Yuduo only felt dizzy. He turned his head and saw a dormant compartment opened. The soldier inside was twitching violently, foaming from the corners of his mouth.

The experimenter and the medics rushed forward at the same time, holding down the soldier's body.

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency, please calm down... Can you hear me!?"

"You're all right, this is the base..."

Sylph had already rushed over, and Xie Yuduo's vision could only see crowds of people moving, and the scene of the rescue could not be clearly seen. He reluctantly stood up and walked towards that direction step by step.

Suddenly, a strange scream came. It was the voice of a soldier. As soon as he opened his mouth, he barked intermittently, waving his hands indiscriminately.

The medics shouted at him. The soldier was still screaming, his eyeballs were rolling, and he was stroking his face with his hands like a baby.

"What happened to him?" Xie Yuduo's voice was dry.

The major general's voice was drowned out in one after another.

"Matrix 934 returns! Matrix 131 returns..."

"No. 8021, 15003, 418, 7324 Matrix return..."

"Substrate No. 2404, 13990..."

Soon, the cold and oppressive air filled the laboratory of the Black Shark Base.

These base bodies died, and the soldiers who returned to their original bodies, without exception, were in a state of madness or stupidity.

By the time Ryan and Jiang Jianming arrived, the situation was already serious. The original quiet laboratory was full of ghosts and wolves, as if falling into eighteen layers of hell.

"What's the situation?" Jiang Jianming strode in. His face was icy white, his voice was hoarse, but the sharpness in his eyes became even colder.

The concentration of crystal particles has increased sharply, and he has been greatly affected. Now it is already at a level that others feel bad at first glance. Ryan followed behind with a sullen face, as if he wanted to eat him.

Sylph, who was checking the instrument data, slowly straightened up.

She was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice: "...It seems that the crystal nest core has found a way to counter the matrix plan."

Jiang Jianming peeled off the crystal bone that Ryan was silently wrapping around himself, "What?"

Sylph: "The core of the crystal nest has released all the power, and now the crystal particles of the entire crystal nest are in an extremely excited and chaotic state, and the human spiritual power cannot resist the erosion of the crystal particles."

"Now the crystal nest no longer kills the matrix of human soldiers, but does not use crystal particles to destroy its consciousness..."

"When the human consciousness residing in the matrix collapses, the shock of the memory returning will also destroy the brain nerves of the original body."

Sylph pursed her lips when she said this. Xie Yuduo put one hand on his forehead and took it hoarsely: "The soldiers who are returning now are all destroyed without exception. The leader was just asking about the next official..."

Xie Yuduo raised his head, and complex light flashed in his eyes blocked by his messy hair, "Do you want to force the end of consciousness projection?"

There was another burst of crying behind him, but it was not the madmen who were screaming, but the original soldiers who woke up earlier.

"Brother, wake up, look at brother. Be strong, we made an appointment to go home together after the victory of the war..."

"Uuuu... Xiaorong, third brother, Lao Pang... How come everyone has become like this, leave me alone..."

A young recruit knelt on the ground, he wrapped his arms around the old captain's neck and burst into tears, wailing, "How could this happen, doesn't it mean that the Matrix plan is safe!?"

Tragedy continues. Now, only Tang Zhen, Beimaner and other soldiers who are still in the crystal nest can come back safely and wake up in the body of their original body only by forcibly ending the projection of consciousness.

"..."

Ryan's eyes darkened suddenly: "No. Now the crystal nest is disintegrating, and a large number of crystal particles are overflowing. If all the soldiers retreat, more rioting crystal particles will directly attack the space station."

The prince raised his head slightly, and the cold light of the base shone on the long platinum stream-like hair, "The soldiers cannot be recalled."

Sylph was slightly startled: "Your Highness, but the current situation..."

As she said that, she peeked at Jiang Jianming, but saw the black-haired officer sigh and shake her head slightly at her.

The leader's heart sank, and even the commander-in-chief did not object to this seemingly cold decision, that is, there is really no way.

Looking at Xie Yuduo again, the major general looked calm, as if he had already expected this result: "Don't talk about it, chief. In fact, I think so too."

The Golden Sun Wheel Space Station is still spinning in the depths of the universe, and the wave of crystal particles, like a vast fog and a mighty white night, is getting closer and closer.

"Okay, this trip brought back the coordinates of the core of the crystal nest, and thanking someone is considered a complete merit."

Xie Yuduo stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a clear smile amid the noise behind him, "Next, I still have to go back."

He said seriously: "As long as it lasts for three days, the Pangu Axe can be restarted. Next, it will be handed over to the two highnesses."

The general said that he was about to leave, but the crown prince suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder: "Since there are still three days, there is no need to rush to court death. I will go first..."

With that said, Lean looked at Jiang Jianming, and there was a trace of struggle in his emerald green eyes.

In the current situation, to be separated from Jiang, he is simply uneasy. This disabled human being will have an accident if he looks bad, and it will become even more serious after integrating with the memory of the previous life. What if there is something...

But the situation was urgent, so the prince finally was cruel, holding Jiang Jianming's wrist and whispering: "I'll try the attack strength of Jingchao first, you have to wait for me to come back."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyes suddenly: "Your Highness, observe and observe again."

Ryan: "How to observe? Now that the communication is out of order, and the person who is close to the crystal nest is either dead or crazy, you should know it in your heart. I can only go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and heard the people behind him calling "His Royal Highness" one after another. Ryan walked through the chaotic laboratory without looking back, the smell of medicine was pungent, the automatic door opened in front of him, and the harsh light came in—

He took another step, and his vision suddenly flickered strangely. His hands and feet were like puppet limbs that had lost control, and he could no longer perceive them.

"...?" Ryan was at a loss, and before he realized what was going on, he slanted forward and fell down.

Someone called him from behind, almost mournful.

"—Your Highness!!!"

...

Omega Alien, the third fortress of the Silver Big Dipper.

A group of strange alien creatures roared through the sky of the fortress, and several rows of anti-aircraft guns swept across, shooting through the half-rotten wings.

They fell from the sky with the wind, as if a heavy black rain had fallen. The corpse fell on the alloy outer wall of the fortress, and the crystal blocks and flesh flew. More dense alien creatures surrounded the fortress and climbed up along the outer wall.

Emma Lin stretched out her right hand wearing a crystal blocking glove and touched the wall of the fortress. Ice-white crystals are growing there.

The concentration of crystal particles increased significantly, and a large number of alien creatures rioted, and crystal-like creatures that had never been seen before appeared...

The first and second fortresses have issued emergency alerts, but the third fortress is also too busy to provide assistance.

Major General Emma is not optimistic. Now she is the only General Yin Beidou left behind, and the soldiers who have just been transferred to the distant star do not know how long they can hold on.

"Major General!!"

Some people ran up the city wall, blood all over their faces, dripping down.

The wounded officer wiped his face, panting and shouting, "Major General, we can't stop it, what should we do!?"

"What else can I do," Emma clenched her fists and said coldly, "If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, hit me!"

"The riots of alien creatures must be the time when the front line of Crystal Nest has reached a critical moment. We don't say how to help, at least we are not allowed to hold back."

"Communications! The first and second fortresses: no matter the cost, stick to it!!"

...

In Imperial Aslan, the windows and doors of countless ordinary people were pushed open, and panicked faces were looking around.

It was a cloudy day, and the clouds overhead blocked the blue sky, so the light was not bright enough.

But people can still see that fine crystals have begun to condense between the bricks and tiles of the street, the trees on both sides, and even the beamed cabinets at home.

On the small bed under the curtains, the little girl wrinkled her face with baby fat, and hummed without crying: "Mom, mom, baby is so uncomfortable."

With trembling hands, the mother repeatedly fiddled with the crystal particle detector hanging on the wall, and the number on it was rising rapidly.

Outside the room, father and son were arguing fiercely.

"What's going on here……"

"Did the front line lose?"

"Bah, you kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Why not!?" The young man cried out in fear, waving his hands, "Now that the crystal particles are pouring into Star City, isn't it because the front line is lost!?"

The figure of the young man was reflected in the window. Across a glass, the city guards loaded their guns with live ammunition and ran quickly through the streets and alleys.

Suddenly, the strong wind blew leaves and dust over the soldier's trousers.

The dark clouds above were thick enough to drip ink, and a torrential rain was about to come.

"Boss, 000's consciousness connection is unstable... It's about to..."

"...Your Majesty... Kaios!"

"Why does he do this?"

"Mother nucleus...crystal particle riot..."

"Maybe... can't sustain..."

What?

What are you talking about?

There was a commotion around. Ryan's consciousness was dizzy, and he was still thinking about the voice Jiang Jianming called him before he fell down.

Chu Jun felt embarrassed. Only then did he boast that he was the only one who had the ability to fight with Jingchao, and he fell down the next second, which was too embarrassing.

Feeling distressed again, he was worried that Jiang Jianming had been frightened. If the stimulation caused people to get sick again, it would be a big problem.

He wanted to open his eyes and sit up, hug his commander in his arms and comfort him twice, but his body couldn't move.

Someone put a finger between his eyebrows, and quickly slipped down the end of his hair.

The hearing gradually became clearer, and Ryan heard Jiang Jianming's faint voice: "Then why am I still fine?"

"My consciousness projection should also be transmitted from the crystal nest through His Majesty's will, isn't it?"

……His Majesty. Lai Anxin thought about it, chewing this noble title repeatedly in the depths of her consciousness.

He couldn't help comparing it with the "His Royal Highness" that Jiang Jianming used to call him, trying to say which one sounds better and which one has deeper affection.

"There can only be one speculation." Sylph whispered, "Kaios is unable to maintain the projection of two people, he... gives priority to you."

! ———

In an instant, a chilling sense of crisis ran through him.

Ryan held his breath in horror, and the power that burst out from somewhere made him suddenly open his eyes!

Clang, boom.

The Venus Wing with the silver-white gun was knocked into the air by the crystal bone and landed on the ground again.

There was an exclamation in the small room, and several people looked at the prince who was supposed to be unconscious on the bed, "Your Highness! Wake up..."

The black-haired young man standing beside the bed turned his head dazedly.

His right hand was still on his waist, at the now empty holster. With a slight movement of the ring finger, the golden ring flashed.

"...Ryan?"

"Ginger, see, Ming."

Ryan stood up slowly, the corners of his eyes reddened with hatred, and they were like sharpened fangs of a beast.

"Just now," he grabbed Jiang Jianming's collar with one hand and yanked it violently, "What are you going to do!?"

How could a crippled human being be so rude, Jiang Jianming was dragged so close that he almost slammed his head into the corner of the bed. Ryan put his arms around him and shouted angrily, "Speak!!"

"Hey, don't, don't," Xie Yuduo was confused, and quickly persuaded him to fight, "Did Your Highness have a nightmare, it was nothing just now?"

"It was you who suddenly fell into a coma. Your little lord was so worried. I asked the leader about your situation."

Ryan laughed in anger, and squeezed Jiang Jianming even harder, "Let him speak for himself!"

Jiang Jianming was silent for a second, then raised his face: "...You misunderstood, Your Highness."

"I'm really not ready to shoot myself to end my mental projections to save you."

Xie Yuduo: "..."

Sylph looked away and moaned painfully on her forehead.

Ryan was so angry that his voice was shaking: "Then why are you touching the gun!?"

Jiang Jianming reluctantly defended: "I did think about the possibility in this regard, but I haven't prepared to implement it... You are overreacting, Your Highness."

He paused, raised his eyelashes, and there was an inexplicable coolness in the depths of his black eyes: "Besides, the stupid thing of sacrificing one's life for love, whether it was before or now, isn't it all you are doing? "
