Chapter 304 Bad News

"Ten days ago, we received a distress signal from the colony closest to us."

"They said the planet has been infected by some unknown organic substance and is currently in a critical condition."

"Soon after they sent out the distress signal, we also found that 'unknown organic matter' here."

"The black plague has taken over all space without anyone noticing. Humans have turned into monsters, and black horrors are wreaking havoc in our factories."

"People are dying one by one."

"Our cries for help went unheard, the abyss of space has swallowed us up."

"I am one of the few people who has not been killed by a monster as of today, but I think I have been infected by the horrible 'black plague'. I can already hear the inhuman roar calling me in my ears."

"I have been holding on because I want to hear a response to our planet's distress signal. I want to tell those who may still be holding on in a corner that we still have hope."

"However, just a minute ago, the signal I had been waiting for for twenty days finally came."

"But the voice that answered our planet's distress signal said:"

"'It's gone. Everything is gone. No one will come to save you...'"

"So I think there's no need for me to keep going."

"I hope there are still people alive in the universe who can hear my last words."

"Bang--!"

The recording ends with a gunshot.

Everyone seemed to be shocked by the gunshot. They all stepped back and looked at each other.

There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Several people began to look through other report materials.

These are mostly routine reports from the planet in recent times.

The content recorded therein confirmed that the words in the voice recording were true.

At first, it was just another colony that sent out a distress signal, saying that they seemed to have been infected with a very dangerous plague due to substances brought by a certain spacecraft.

Soon, the planet was also infected.

Black water raged on the planet, and the black water life and the mutations it brought killed all the humans here.

They sent out a distress signal, but it was only responded to when they were almost all dead.

This reply was also extremely desperate, indicating that no one would come to rescue them because "everything is gone."

"…"

"…"

Everyone fell into a long silence.

"This 'everything is gone'..." Finally, a young woman broke the silence and whispered, "Does it mean that humans have already..."

"-Impossible!" This was quickly interrupted by a young man excitedly.

"Even Black Water cannot destroy all of humanity!"

"Yeah." At this time, the captain of the surface exploration team also agreed, "At least on Earth... our main force is there. Even if the colony was destroyed because of the black water that spread for some reason, the Earth must still have preserved its manpower."

This statement was agreed by everyone.

Unlike the white giants who only preserved one city, humans are extremely large, especially the Earth, and have the most powerful defense force.

There is no way the black water could completely destroy that place.

But maybe... many colonies were indeed destroyed by black water.

There are not many people on many colonies. In fact, not all colonies are "colonies", many of them are industrial planets.

These planets' defenses are weak when faced with black water, an organic substance that can penetrate any pore and give birth to powerful monsters.

After calming down, everyone sorted out the remaining information here.

Xiao had just sorted out the information and when he turned around, he saw a big black mouth ready to strike!

"hiss--!"

The secret door on the wall was knocked open, and a long-hidden black water creature rushed out!

Judging from its appearance, its original host was obviously a human.

Xiao immediately raised the gun in his hand and pointed the muzzle at the monster's mouth.

Pull the trigger.

Blackwater was shot in the head and fell to the ground dead.

Acidic blood splattered everywhere, but it didn't cause much damage in front of her special acid-proof protective suit.

Everyone watched calmly as the monster twitched and fell to the ground.

Then there were "bang bang" sounds at the door, as if something was hitting the door!

There were also rustling noises coming from outside.

The originally dead silent city suddenly became lively.

"Where do these black water lives come from? Our life detectors can't detect them." A team member asked in confusion.

The captain calmly replied, "It could be a mine. We don't know how deep it is. The life detector may not be able to reach very deep and will be shielded by some radioactive ores."

"What now?"

"We can't be trapped here, let's get out!"

After a brief discussion, everyone who had experienced many storms and waves raised their weapons and flung open the door.

Amidst the flash and roar of gunfire, he rushed to the corridor, resisting the black water life that was rushing towards him.

They had killed countless ordinary blackwater creatures in the few days they were on Heaven Star, so why would they be afraid of such a scene?

The bad news of the blackwater infestation of the planet and the vague words "everything is gone" really made them uneasy.

But this instead aroused their desire to fight against the black water life.

Amid the roar of gunfire, they rushed out of the building.

The bodies of the black water creatures fell on the road, blown to pieces by bullets.

But when they came out, what awaited them were more and denser black water creatures!

At a glance, there was a monster ready to move in every corner of the field of vision.

Judging from the numbers, I am afraid that most of the living things on this planet, including humans, pets and livestock raised by humans, have turned into blackwater life.

There are two ways that Blackwater can create monsters.

One is through parasitism, where a young monster is nurtured inside a living organism and eventually breaks out of the body.

Another type directly infects the entire body of a living organism, transforming it into a creature between normal organisms and black water life.

Different types of black water use different methods.

Apparently right now, it's both.

Some of the monsters were even wearing clothes and their appearance had not completely changed from human form.

Faced with so many monsters transformed from their own compatriots, everyone's faces first showed pity, and then revealed a firm expression.

The muzzle flashed.

Large groups of monsters fell.

Some of the weapons they held were the colonists' own and some were issued by the company.

The other part was looted from the spaceship and is more powerful than that of humans.

But even with such a powerful weapon.

They were just a small exploration team, and they were in an unfamiliar area surrounded by enemies, so they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

As black water monsters continued to rush in from all directions, the road ahead was gradually blocked by the surging black.

It seemed that they were about to be unable to get out.

Everyone is ready to sacrifice themselves.

A hoarse and familiar roar came from the distance.

Look up.

A dark figure appeared on the roof of a building in the distance.

The dragon-like body took a slight step forward and stepped on the edge of the roof.

You Huan looked down at the boiling scene of monsters below.

They are all relatively common black water life forms, but there are large numbers of them, reaching thousands.

He still had some high-quality black water life stored in the pyramid in his space card, so he didn't need them anymore.

Thinking of this, his figure flashed, and his scythe wings like the god of death spread out to both sides.

In an instant, the dark sky seemed to be split in two.

His figure passed over the black water creatures that were roaring with their heads raised.

The sharp edge of the sickle wing cut through, and heads flew up in an instant.

Gliding all the way to the ground amid the sound of the black water life being cut in half.

It stopped right in front of everyone.

The sickle wings were folded up, and when passing by the captain among the crowd, he wiped the blood stains on the sickle wings on his protective suit.

The captain stumbled after being brushed by him and said in shock: "How did it follow us? What is the job of the security officer in charge of the inspection?!"

"…"

Xiao standing aside felt a little guilty.
