Chapter Nineteen: An Uneasy Ending
Although the video duration is only a few dozen seconds, it is not the content of a single monitor, but a combined video of many monitoring units.
The first scene was the appearance of shadows, the alarm was whistling very competently, and the ultrasonic fort hanging from the ceiling immediately attacked, but without any warning, it broke down with the sound wave shells and fell to the ground, with electronic sparks flashing on the surface.
In the swelling shadow, a long leg wrapped in creature armor boots appeared, and a slender phantom with a large giant sword hanging around her waist walked into the surveillance screen. The exaggerated giant sword could almost pull her waist down, but she did walk out so lightly and out of the shadow's mouth.
The woman pulled the blood-red fluffy coat that was swaying like a living thing, and turned to the monitor with her face without eye holes. The picture flashed away, and it was obvious that the monitor was scrapped.
He transferred to the next corridor monitor, but never saw her again, leaving only the shadow with millions of grinning and sharp teeth walking wildly in the cabin like a wild horse.
Until the video ends in the riot.
"It's a ghost referring to, but I don't know what level it is." Gu Xuechen pulled the progress back to the beginning and said.
Lang Ren looked at the giant sword around her waist and had some thoughts.
Because it was a giant sword with spiritual patterns, it was exactly the same as the one he snatched from the general of the Yuhuaxian, but it looked more refined and heavier.
"What kind of creature is that shadow?" Langren asked.
"It's the Epidemic Demon," Gu Xuechen whispered, "The starry creatures that do not belong to any planet can adapt to any environment to devour and strengthen their own monsters. This one looks just a newborn baby, but logically speaking, the Epidemic Demon is irrational. How does this woman control it? The Ghost Finger Clan can actually control the Epidemic Demon..."
The final low moan told Lang Ren that this was unusual, or the news that this video was about to convey was not that the starship was massacred and occupied, but that "the ghost refers to the ability to control the epidemic and demons"!
"If the epidemic demon is unreasonable, isn't mental control really an option?" Lang Ren asked. He knew that this question would be stupid for those who have been hiding in the interstellar world all year round, but it must be asked.
"No, if it is a normal creature... Whether it is a silicon-based or a carbon-based or other creatures, the method you said does work, but the mortal demon is different. Do you know why they are called mortal demons, not other interstellar creatures?"
"...You mean they are infectious?" Lang Ren raised his eyebrows, remembering the centipedes in the off-white space.
"Yes, as long as they stay in one place, they will infect and assimilate the surrounding environment, organisms, and anything, and distort it into a part of it. They can even evolve according to the characteristics of assimilates to obtain corresponding characteristics or stronger and more abilities. Even the spiritual body will be distorted and assimilated. Therefore, in fact, there are almost no identical epidemics in the universe. Their mutation and evolution are too terrifying. It is a disaster wherever they float."
After listening to it, Lang Ren couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu...
"A little like a star god?"
"Ah yes yes, yes, many people think they have some connection with the Star God, but there is no evidence, but compared to the Star God, they are still a little rational." Gu Xuechen nodded
Lang Ren pinched his chin... In fact, if he said that, he also thought of something, but it seemed that it was a bit similar to [evolution]. The actual result did not conform to the assimilation characteristics of the epidemic demon, so Lang Ren gave up for the time being.
"What should I do now? This is not good news. Not only are there people who are ghostly fingers, but also epidemics. Just by the fluctuations of fragments we have been infected with, as long as we are encountered by this woman, they will be killed..." Gu Xuechen's mentality was a little low.
"What? Do you regret spending a lot of money to save these people?" Langren teased.
"No, no, no, that's not, it's not so desperate. Although we are being hunted, as long as we don't appear within their sensing range, we will be safe." Gu Xuechen denied.
"As you say, survival rate depends on luck."
“That’s true.”
After Gu Xuechen downloaded the theoretical information on this imperial ship, Lang Ren left here with him and contacted others.
The escape compartment was everywhere, and Tuoyan and his group really found a group of star bandits who were lucky enough to survive in the gray space, but they all looked like earth and were scared.
"Have you contacted the captain?" Gu Xuechen asked when he saw Tuoyan.
"The backup will come to pick us up soon." Tuoyan replied.
"No need to pick it up. I think this ship is of good quality. Although the combat damage is very high, most of the equipment can still operate normally. If it can be disassembled, our ship can be upgraded to a large extent. It is better to let him drive the ship over and connect it." After Gu Xuechen finished speaking to Tuoyan, he said to the other star bandits.
"Although many people died and you have faced many things, there are still many things we have to do. Don't be stunned! Go to the engineering department with me, have you forgotten? We snatched this swoosh boat!"
As star bandits, they were all wandering around life and death. When they talked about this imperial ship, they suddenly came back to their senses, patted their faces, cheered up, and followed Gu Xuechen to work.
"Why don't you just use this ship as the main ship?" asked the little girl Xiya raised her hand.
Tuoyan shook her head and said, "This is the Imperial flow engineering product. The operation system must be matched with the Imperial Star Network link. In addition, it is too large, the energy consumption is not small, and there are not so many people in maintenance. The overall situation is neither flexible nor hidden, so just take away what we want to use."
"Take away what we want to use?" Xiya and Somi looked at each other, jumped up suddenly and wanted to rush out, but Tuoyan lifted it up one by one.
"Ahhh, my active fibers! And crystal alloys, and…"
"There are so many supplies!!"
The two children's joy changed into a heavy atmosphere, leaving only the "greed" of the Star Bandit.
"What's yours? Strictly speaking, who's the entire ship has no digits?" Tuoyan scolded.
Lang Ren, who had been talking to Yahuo next to him, suddenly felt the focus of his eyes. When he looked up, he saw two "cups" with their necks holding their necks looking at him eagerly.
"...I have no value for those things, and I can't exert my value in my hands. Just leave it to Gu Xuechen to deal with it... If you two want it, you can go to Gu Xuechen to discuss it, after all, you have made efforts." Langren didn't care about this.
If he really wanted, both ships could be his, and everything above could be his, but that would make no sense.
Some things need to be properly released to hold them tightly, perhaps just like the handle of the knife.
Looking at the two children who were ecstatic because of his words, Lang Ren suddenly remembered another cheek that was a little younger than them.
"By the way, I want to ask something." Langren called out again.
"how?"
