Chapter 1360 - 525: Escape from Blue Star (Part 2)
"Wouldn’t it be the same with the Abnormal Bodies?"Lei Zhen widened his eyes, "Aren’t those big guys carbon-based lifeforms?"
Mochizuki Masashi shook his head, "It’s different. Those low-level Abnormal Bodies are merely ’drones’ of the High Tower Civilization, not truly living organisms. Moreover, the energy density of world-level creatures, dark energy, is infinitely approaching the scarlet fog. So I judge that once they complete fusion, they no longer belong to this dimension; from our perspective, we might not even see them."
"Not see? What do you mean?" Shi Deyuan asked.
"This explanation might be somewhat complex," Mochizuki Masashi walked slowly, "In short, if we don’t escape the High Tower Civilization’s Heavenly Veil before the scarlet ascends completely, we will be utterly annihilated."
The words fell, and everyone was silent.
General Zeng Weiguo took a deep breath, "Damn, we originally thought we could hold our ground in the Polar region for resistance or counterattack. But this sounds like the Heavenly Veil is nothing more than a bomb casing?!"
"Resistance is necessary," Sean from Utopia said at this moment, "But we alone don’t possess such power. I believe Phoenix Society’s overall strategy should focus on breaking through the Heavenly Veil, right?"
Elder Luo nodded, "Kunlun Extreme North is now fully constructing a fleet for flying transport, also for this purpose, but..."
His gaze swept over everyone, "It’s better for not too many people to know about this for now."
Countless survivors thought the Polar region was humanity’s safe zone, believing that once they reached there, everything would be safe. Even the slightly pessimistic believed they could gain short-term peace.
But once people knew that the entire Blue Star might disappear at any moment, such a negative atmosphere might lead countless to despair directly.
"Does headquarters know about our situation on this side?" Elder Luo asked at this time.
Everyone looked to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian nodded, "I’ve already contacted the Polar region. Now Ushuaia has observed the scarlet spreading, but they’ll hold position and wait for us to arrive before retreating together through Storm Strait."
"Lin."
Mochizuki Masashi looked at him, "Do you have any ideas about escaping the Heavenly Veil?"
Lin Xian met his gaze, feeling he had a hidden implication, but Lin Xian just shook his head, "Currently, Kunlun has captured an S-Class and is conducting experiments. They fear this escape strategy might have already failed, so the plan is accelerating."
"As for me, sigh... I don’t have any for now."
"I believe you will." Mochizuki Masashi smiled meaningfully.
"Are you the Intelligent Brain or am I?" Lin Xian laughed helplessly, "Don’t give me such pressure. The survival of all humanity requires everyone’s brainstorming. I’ve used up all my brain capacity."
"There’s another issue."
Jiang Yun suddenly spoke up, "The Foundation."
"Our withdrawal may disrupt their plans, but I believe they definitely don’t want us to successfully reach the Polar region, maybe we’ll encounter trouble in the coming days."
"True." Elder Luo nodded, "We must be careful."
"If the world ascends and disappears, what benefit could the Foundation possibly get?" Shi Deyuan looked puzzled, "We’re all screwed at this point. What’s the point of them relaying messages for the High Tower Civilization?"
Lin Xian shook his head, "I don’t know. They believe they’re saving human civilization in another way. Perhaps the ultimate destination is merging into the fungal network consciousness or becoming a tumor on the Angel carrying the civilization’s information."
"That’s dumb, what is the point of that?" Lei Zhen immediately cursed.
"There’s one more thing," Elder Luo said, "The Dark Energy Bomb, if we can solve this issue, maybe we can stop everything."
"Forgive me, but don’t hold too much hope for that."
Mochizuki Masashi coldly poured water on the idea, speaking slowly, "According to the observations inside the Civilization Preview Ball, the High Tower Civilization is at least ten thousand years ahead of human civilization. Although they develop through some kind of homogenized body, their material energy development has reached inconceivable levels for us."
"Take the superpowers possessed by the Superpower Users as an example. They appear to us as miraculous mastery over nature or biologically evolved powers, but within their technology, they might simply be a manifestation of some particle control effect. Therefore, thermonuclear weapons present little threat to them, something evident from the Abnormal Bodies devouring nuclear energy for evolution since Apocalypse Day."
"So even if we master dark energy and combine it with nuclear energy, essentially, it would only provide an advantage against large-scale Abnormal Bodies."
"But remember, Abnormal Bodies are not the High Tower Civilization. They are merely three-dimensional ’soldiers’ created by merging Blue Star’s biological material. Destroying them doesn’t affect the dimensional shift of the world."
Lin Xian fell silent at these words. He knew Mochizuki Masashi was right; those Taboo Items had reached dimensional singularity. In the three-dimensional world, perhaps the power of a nuclear bomb is terrifying.
But in a higher-dimensional world, it might be just a slice of a spark, unable to pose a threat.
Considering this, he immediately thought of his Black Star Mechanical Celestial Body being constructed—the Planet Titan. If facing a higher-dimensional enemy, even this 8-million-ton demonic god might encounter the same issue.
"So, what you’re saying is, we’re left only with one path, which is to find every way to escape Blue Star?"
Jian Xuwei, who hadn’t spoken, said at this time, "We haven’t even mentioned breaking the Heavenly Veil. Kunlun has at least 4 or 5 million people, right? So many people..."
"Wangyue Planet Ring."
Before she finished, Lin Xian directly provided the answer. He looked at Jian Xuwei and said,
"The Starry Sky Laboratory has been sending orbit calibration commands to Wangyue Planet Ring through me and the South Heavenly Gate. Now the main system on top has responded positively, so this is the final plan prepared by Phoenix Society."
"Wangyue Planet Ring? Can that thing... still be used?"
Lin Xian shrugged, "The returned signal shows there are over 8 million Zombies up there... Many giant ring city areas are damaged, but it doesn’t impact the whole much since there’ve been no large-scale Abnormal Bodies."
"Well, 8 million Zombies."
Shi Deyuan clicked his tongue, "Previously, there were renowned individuals and wealthy people living up there. Now they’ve turned into space Zombies."
Jiang Yun took a deep breath, "Then surely, the Foundation is also aware of our strategic plan."
"Definitely." Sean nodded and said, "Strategically, we are entirely transparent to them. Without the Foundation, Tower People wouldn’t know what we’re thinking."
"That’s why Tower People need ’inside aids.’ Seems like they’ll surely offer some benefits to the Foundation."
"What can we do then..."
"All we can do is accelerate," Lin Xian said, "The urgent task is to smoothly cross the South American Continent to reach Ushuaia. The scarlet concentration is increasing; worrying about anything else is unnecessary."
"Good, the reconnaissance up ahead has returned, large-scale Spirit Vibration Value anomalies have appeared. We might need to slow down a bit."
Elder Luo said at this time, "Then we’ll follow Commander Lin’s lead."
Lin Xian took a deep breath, "Alright, dismiss the meeting. Stay vigilant, we set off in 30 minutes."
One by one, the light screens disappeared, until only Lin Xian was left. Mochizuki Masashi turned to look at him, "Lin, is there anything else?"
"Do you want to tell me something?" Lin Xian asked.
Mochizuki Masashi smiled slightly, standing before Lin Xian’s light screen, and said,
"I believe the only reason the Foundation still exists is you."
