Section 628 Hole Cards

This is Ye Ying's last trump card.

Few people noticed Xiao An's existence. She was just a little girl, a brain that was transformed into a semi-mechanical and semi-biological human being when she was underage. From the beginning of this incident, Xiao An obeyed and won the orders and stayed in the room alone and quietly. There was a secret connection to the host computer there, and a thick bulletproof steel gate was set up around the entire cabin. Without Ye Ying's order, no one could enter and Xiao An could not come out.

Ye Ying had already foreseeed that he would fail, and Xiao An was the end of the accident. Even if he encountered an accident and died unexpectedly, the sensor in the cabin with the same frequency of electrons as his body would send a signal, ordering Xiao An to detonate the spacecraft.

Yes, I am very selfish and need up to tens of thousands of innocent people to be buried with me.

Yes, I'm very cold and don't think about it for those who are alive at all.

But so what?

When I set out on Earth, I repeatedly stated that this was a distant voyage. The chances of not being able to return are high, and it is possible that people and ships will disappear into the vast space.

No one forced or threatened. It was because of the possible problems during the voyage that volunteers were selected among the suitable groups. If you felt afraid, why didn’t you give up at that time?

Of course, there are also parts that exceed expectations.

That is the natural reproduction of the population. Over the past hundred years, the number of members on the spacecraft has increased dramatically. Although everyone will age and are finally transformed into semi-mechanical and semi-biological people, the newly added personnel do not have the firm beliefs of volunteers. They have no interest in sailing, and they spend almost all their time in the entertainment room, and have a strong sense of attachment to the distant starting point of the earth.

It is precisely because these newly added members have an impact on the initial crew members. They have a blood relationship, and the idea of ​​giving up their lives for the sake of mission has gradually faded, and more and more people have the idea of ​​returning to Earth alive. It is precisely because of such a large group of opponents that Captain Chen Hengsheng's conspiracy was finally implemented. Around him, there are also support groups that are enough to influence more people.

Therefore, Yeying didn't think there was anything wrong with her approach.

Everything is yours

In the depths of the dark universe, an extremely brilliant flower of energy suddenly exploded. A violent red light appeared in the flames, illuminating the narrow and long hull of "Explorer One". It seemed like a signal, and a rapid explosion immediately spread across the entire hull. Red lights passed by the surface of the hull, bringing a bunch of thick smoke rising into the air. The thick hull was swallowed by the explosion, and countless pieces of parts were scattered. This level of explosion was comparable to the light of the sun, and no one could look directly at it or escape.

Strong energy swept over instantly, high heat and cold began to collide, forming a more violent wave of death. The huge hull began to bend and break, and countless debris floated out from the broken hull. The living people and their bodies that could not be avoided instantly were vaporized, and more people were steamed and roasted in the severe high temperature. They screamed and ran back and forth in the closed space, desperately looking for the exit to the lifesaving companion. People pushed each other, and heavy tracks ran over without any scruples. In order to break from the dense crowd

When the passage was opened, the person blocked behind raised his gun without hesitation and fired coldly and frantically in front of him. The mechanical body could not feel pain, but the fear of death made them instinctively wail and scream. There were not many humans with bodies, but they were more flexible than cyborgs made entirely of parts. However, no one could enter the escape pod. The moment the detonation signal was released, the central computer also began to execute relevant instructions pre-set by Ye Ying. All escape pods were released and no one could leave.

Captain Chen Hengsheng was instantly swallowed by a ball of extremely high temperature flame.

The first mate Liu Tingwei was crushed by the hatch cover falling overhead.

Feeling the danger that was so close, the heavy robot that grabbed Ye Ying also released its steel claws and wanted to escape to the end of the passage. As soon as he turned around, he was passed through the middle of his body by a piece of metal ejected from a distance by explosive energy, and was immediately cut in half.

The communication channel is full of crying, cursing, and begging, but no matter how pious or painful it is, it is useless at this time. It can only wait for death to come in a vast fear.

"Destruction, is this our final outcome?"

With the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, Ye Ying was pushed by a strong energy aura and fell into a coma.

The result of all chaos is to restore peace.

The wreckage of "Explorer One" is floating quietly in space. It is surrounded by debris and debris of all sizes. No matter what object is, it maintains an extremely slow movement speed. They slowly rotate in the air, and follow the inertial force to constantly change their position. Everything is so slow, just like the slow motion in the movie, which makes people feel sore when they see it, and there is an indescribable stagnation.

A strangely shaped ball of slurry climbed onto a thick black deck. It is not large in size, with a front and back scale of about twenty centimeters. The flesh-red surface looks very disgusting, and it keeps squirming, extending from the surface of the body, pulling the body and slowly crawling on the surface of the deck.

The tentacles are very short, less than ten centimeters in length. From a distance, they look like red dough wrapped around the deck. The collision between the fragments occurs occasionally. Whenever this happens, the slurry will take advantage of the opportunity to extend the tentacles, grab every piece of debris passing by, and constantly change their locations.

The huge hull remains slowly floating in the distance. Among the countless pieces, human corpses can often be seen. They are not complete. They may be broken limbs such as an arm, or a piece of flesh that was blown from the body, or a small piece of intestine, and blood that has not yet dried up and has been condensed into ice.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Mushy was very lucky to catch a prey.

It was a broken finger. Two centimeters long, maybe the index finger or the middle finger, the sticky slurry is like an alien monster who had been hungry for a long time, wrapping the cut-off finger in completely. Its size also increased accordingly. Just like a strange-shaped snake, the size of its prey swallowed from its mouth can increase its body a little.

It takes time to digest, the slurry sleeps for a long time, and then starts to move between various debris.

Its contact with various debris seems to be aimless. Anything will be wrapped in it, but it will never be swallowed up like a broken finger. If the most basic physiological behavior is used to explain it, the pulp seems to be full and lose the desire to continue eating. It just keeps coming and going among different debris, aimless and without specific directions, as if all actions have no independent consciousness.

A corpse floated over.

To be precise, it should be an incomplete corpse. Without hands, only the right leg and most of the chest and abdomen, the epidermis has been burnt, showing signs of carbonization that is almost all black. There is no obvious feature to judge the specific gender of the corpse, that is, a piece of flesh drifting in space. No one knows where it will eventually flow? What will it become?

The corpse slowly collided with the steel pipe where the slurry was. The collision was very slight, like two leaves that were pushed by water flow, creating intersections between each other. However, the imagined phenomenon that two different objects should have separated immediately after contact did not occur. The red slurry suddenly came alive in an instant. It quickly ejected its tentacles for several days, firmly sticking to the surface of the corpse, and with the help of the pulling force between the two, it jumped from the surface of the steel pipe.

The slurry began to tremble, like porridge that had been boiled in a pot for a long time. The surface continued to suck bubbles, but never exploded. Instead, it continued to push the inside of the corpse under the action of the bubbles. This situation was very terrifying, and instinctively reminded people of the extremely corrosive acid. When it spilled on the body, the skin muscles were melted into dilute pus, which did not dry up quickly, but slowly penetrated into the inside of the body.

It seems not a corpse, it looks more like a sponge with an alternative shape.

The change unfolds from the inside to the outside. I don’t know how long it took, the corpse itself began to shake slightly and roll in calm space. A fine red line gradually appeared on the black carbonized surface, which slowly expanded and turned into dense cracks. That scene was like the destructive effect caused by a violent earthquake on the surface of the flat road. A lot of red mucus flowed out of the inside of the corpse, like blood, but definitely not blood. They were so numerous that they wrapped the entire corpse firmly, just like when they first swallowed that short finger.

The wreckage of "Explorer One" as huge as a mountain range is moving slowly. Perhaps by coincidence, the wreckage of the warship just blocked the light from a distant star. The pulp itself has almost no ability to move. Its location just forms a dead corner with the steel wreckage. The light cannot be seen, and it has been shrouded in dead darkness.

The appearance of the meteor was very unexpected. No one had calculated the orbit of the meteor passing through the periphery of the warship wreckage. The long comet tail dragged a straight line in space. Many fragments of ice that did not originally belong to it were taken away by gravity, and some small stones gradually dispersed from the end of the comet tail. A very small stone hit the scarred front cabin of "Explorer One", and the originally fixed drift trajectory changed. It is hard to imagine that such a little bit of insignificant thing could actually push the huge wreckage like a mountain? But this is indeed the fact that the huge battleship front cabin slowly rotated towards the direction of deviation, and a gap appeared in the darkness. The glimmer of stars from distant directions shone a bright color on the surface of the slurry.

The slurry started to move again.

The distant light is like a stimulant to it, stimulating the whole ball of slurry to start moving, no longer as lazy as before. A layer of dark red and dense body tissue begins to grow on the surface of the slurry, with a smooth mucosa on the surface. Below this layer of covering, a ball of continuous arches and then falling things, like the human heart, are slowly and vigorously rising and falling.

The stimulation effect of light on the slurry is very obvious, and very strange changes have occurred inside it. The distance between the steel remains and the light increases, and when the entire slurry is almost completely exposed to the bright light range, an eye appears.

It was so cold and had no emotion at all. The surface of the sticky slurry cracked without any signs, and the round lens protruded from it, like a piece of ice with strange shape, full of sharp murderous intent, and maintained a high alertness of everything around it.

It is not complete, and some bloodlines also grow from the inside of the plasm, slowly wrapping it with the lens as the core. The inside of the eye socket is a dead dark black, and the specific location of the pupil cannot be judged. When the area of ​​the bloodline is half of the lens, a dark yellow vertical pupil appeared on the crystal clear and deep surface.

The eyeballs slowly rotated, and the "eyelids" made of sticky pulp flew up and down, constantly opening and closing, making them seem indescribable. However, the even more strange thing is the pupil in the middle of the eyeball. It has been switching back and forth between the vertical pupil and the round pupil, and even turned into horizontal or oblique lines. Just like an electronic detector, it is constantly adjusting the lens focal length to find the best way to observe.

Another piece of human body floated over. It was an arm, which was about ten meters away from the slurry. When this arm was far away, it entered the eye's sight. It was always being watched, and the drifting trajectory of the arm in space was almost an arc. The eyes were very patient and kept waiting silently for the moment when the arm was away from it. Without any warning, the red slurry suddenly stretched out and turned into a fleshy red line more than ten meters long, like a chameleon's sticky tongue popping out suddenly, dragging the whole arm over.

The pulp began to wrap for the third time. Inside it, countless tiny shreds of flesh were tightly wrapped around the arms. They were no longer the weak and weak appearance they used to be. The tips became very hard and sharp, and they were inserted straight into the arms, cutting the prey in an orderly manner, producing every muscle, and constantly devouring the nutrients they needed.

The meal was very thorough, leaving no residue. From the muscles to the bones, it became part of the slurry.

A large amount of nutrients appear, and they are converted inside the slurry and are fully supplied to every corner. The eyeballs get the most nutrients, and the damaged parts begin to be repaired, thus being better improved.

During the fourth hunt, the slurry obtained the upper half of a middle-aged man. The part below his waist had disappeared, but his head was miraculously preserved. Although only half of his left arm was left, it was an unexpected surprise for the slurry.

The eyeball was very satisfied with this meal. It was full and the volume became larger, with a lens diameter of at least ten centimeters.

Inside the slurry, the original structure is really changing quietly. While swallowing prey, cells also simulate the prey mechanism. A small brain nucleus is forming. Although there is no bone to protect it, it has produced a simple thinking effect.

The first question arises: "Who am I?"

The second question appears in a few seconds: "Where am I?"

Thoughts like the future of life undoubtedly seem redundant at this time and cannot be produced. Cells are the basis for slurry. Under the judgment of genetic consciousness, the internal nutrient ratio changes again, and the number of brain nuclei is obtained is greater, followed by the eyes.

It became larger and larger, and quickly surpassed the adult's fist.

Growth is stopped and the cells do not issue further orders. There is only so much nutrition. If you want to make further changes, you need to eat again and more prey.

There is a lot of "food" around the wreckage of the spacecraft, but most of them are fragments of human body, without complete corpses, and there are few large pieces. Scattered fragments are floating everywhere in the darkness, but even the skin and bones the size of a fingernail are unwilling to let go of the slurry.

Its predation efficiency is higher than in the past. This is entirely due to the eyes, and the beam of light shining from distant stars. The sticky pulp saw a scene that had never been seen before, constantly popping out tentacles and grabbing back and forth in the vast universe.

Eating more is an urgent need to change the current situation. As long as it is a living creature, it will never be able to avoid its "greed".

The slurry is no longer satisfied with grabbing back and forth bit by bit. It evolves into a very tough film. The diaphragm is connected by two slender tentacles, protruding from the body, forming a "V"-shaped angle in the air. The film has a strong viscosity, like a triangular net, covering all the pieces of flesh and blood floating over.

Such hunting efficiency is extremely high, and at one time it is equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of times in the past.

The pulp does not hesitate to give priority to the brain core. Learning to use tools is the result of brain expansion. This is an evolutionary advantage caused by thinking. The eyes are indeed very important, but in the face of the question of how to hunt more efficiently, the visual effect can only be ranked behind.

In terms of survival and evolution, slurry has a surprising instinct.

It even produces part of the bones that wrap the brain to protect this ball and its fragile, but extremely important core.

The fragments of the corpse are not fish stocked in the pond, so naturally there is no reproduction. After multiple consecutive dragnet fishing, the amount of food in this area has been greatly reduced. After seeing this clearly, the eyes have begun to think about how to change their situation and solve the current problem?

I'm leaving here.

I need the ability to move freely.

There is a unified balance point between the two problems. After referring to the body mechanism of the prey in the past, the slurry began to change again, and two legs grew from the middle position.
