"Chichichi!"
The snow dust worms chirped happily, and their tiny bodies carried the sample boxes, which were quite large compared to them, and flew high into the sky.
After learning everything Dr. A knew, You Huan walked out of the base.
Dr. A stood at the gate of the base, and his expression as he looked at the monster changed from initial despair and vigilance to calmness, and even exploration and curiosity.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with giving his knowledge and research to a monster.
The association is a loose organization and will not hold him responsible in this regard - but if he fails to command effectively, he will most likely be despised by everyone.
He gave everything he had to this corpse beast lord, not only to pay for his life, but also to see -
What path will this unusual monster take in the future?
…
After resolving the association's attack and taking over the new territory, You Huan rushed back to his original territory, which was Territory No. 1, while thinking about the information that Dr. A had just told him.
——Black dust is not only a strange substance that physically changes life, but also contains a certain unique ideology.
They themselves have no intelligence, but the creatures infected by them will be connected together deep in their consciousness, forming the same subconscious sea.
As a result, the monsters will unconsciously accomplish many things that the black dust actually wants to do, such as spreading the black dust and infecting more lives, and instinctively gathering in the direction of higher black dust concentration.
The monster's instinct is actually just to eat, fight, survive, and become stronger.
No matter how high the concentration of black dust in the outside world is, it will not make them stronger all of a sudden - to become stronger, they still have to rely on step evolution that requires eating and fighting.
The reason why the black dust controls the monsters to do these things... Based on the association's observations in recent years that people on the verge of becoming zombies are gradually experiencing hallucinations, combined with his own speculations, Dr. A proposed a unique conjecture based on the theory of black dust aggregation.
The so-called black dust aggregation theory means that black dust will show extremely strong aggregation when it reaches a certain concentration or under other specific circumstances. Black dust mine is a good example.
Dr. A suggested that Black Dust's actions were an attempt to create the ultimate, unique, and most powerful monster!
If not stopped, the black dust will eventually infect the entire world, and all living things will become part of its control.
At that time, it will become one, absorb all living things in the world, and become a single monster individual.
——He believed that this monster was the black tombstone that people on the verge of corpse transformation saw in their hallucinations.
That is the No.1 "Black Tablet"!
He also believed that the church might have the same guess, and they even had more detailed and real information.
Because the code name of Black Monument came from the church in the beginning, and according to the association's investigation, the god they believe in should really exist and be hostile to Black Dust.
When all living things in the world become zombies and corpse beasts, Black Dust will merge everything into one, turning it into the ultimate monster...
It sounds a bit outrageous at first, but combined with You Huan's own research on black dust, as well as those hallucinations and dreams... he thinks this is actually very possible.
Since the black dust is connected to the subconscious of the monsters, then the scene he dreamed of...
Those tall black shadows wandering in the fog, the empty and silent atmosphere, and the last black diamond-shaped stone tablet were obviously some kind of prophecy of Heichen.
In Heichen's ideal, will this world eventually become a place where monsters roam until black tombstones rise?
But he also heard that Xiao Pu eavesdropped on the situation at the Spark Base and found that the situation in the White Knight's nightmare seemed different.
Dr. A also knows some information about this.
He sneered and said,
"The Church has developed white dust to control black dust, but in fact, the manufacturing process of that thing is probably full of innocent and pure human blood!"
"Those poor white knights who believed in God wholeheartedly were haunted by nightmares forever until they died."
"The association has discovered that many White Knights, after being active for a period of time, gradually disappear. They are not dead, nor do they become high-ranking officials in the church. Instead, they truly 'disappear.'"
"So we have always speculated that their disappearance is related to their nightmares. Perhaps, they escaped into the dream world to be with the god they worship, haha!"
...This is the end of the review of all information.
After all the information he had now been able to gather was sorted out, he returned to his No. 1 territory.
At the edge of the territory, the shopping mall that was once built like a fortress was completely destroyed from the roof down!
The charred building fragments fell to the ground in very small pieces, as if the entire fortress had been crushed by something extremely powerful.
With the landmark of the Spark Base as the center, a large area of the surrounding buildings and fortifications collapsed.
Fresh blood, severed human limbs, monster heads and building debris were mixed together like a pot of evenly stirred Indian-style thick soup, in which the various seasonings could no longer be distinguished from each other.
It can be said that the entire Spark Base has been completely breached!
However, the mighty group of monsters that appeared in Xiao Pu's broadcast earlier also disappeared without a trace.
Only a few zombies with missing limbs were still wandering in the ruins.
"Bang!"
A large-caliber explosive bomb was fired from behind a large piece of ruins, and the brain of a staggering zombie was instantly blown apart.
Several zombies nearby heard the noise and roared as they ran quickly towards the direction where the bullet came from.
But when they were halfway through the run, a silver-white arc crossed their bodies horizontally!
The next moment, they were still running and split into two halves, and after running forward a few steps driven by inertia, they fell to the ground with a bang.
"Huh…huh…"
The ruins were turned over with a "shashasha" sound, and accompanied by a very low gasp, a sturdy figure wrapped in silver-white armor appeared in front of the corpses of the zombies.
This was the scene that You Huan saw when he first arrived at the ruins of the Spark Base.
He looked at the former White Knight Whitley for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ah…!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
When Witley saw the lord appear, he immediately took an attacking stance - but unlike before, he leaned down slightly like a wild beast and growled threateningly at You Huan.
Under the armor, the face that originally had a bit of mature charm of an uncle has been completely distorted: sharp teeth are exposed, long hair like a beast has grown, and a pair of eyes reveal a fierce light that only belongs to a beast.
This knight is turning into a monster!
"Witley!"
Just as the knight's mind seemed to be fading away, an anxious shout came from behind him.
Li, the leader of the Spark Base, ran out from behind the ruins, walked up to him and shook his shoulders vigorously:
"Believe in your own will, control yourself, and never let any other will take away your mind and let the beast occupy your heart!"
"Huh...uh..." The call from someone close to him seemed to have worked, and Whitley's growl gradually stopped.
He showed a painful expression, hunched over and stretched out his hands to tear the beast's long hair on his face.
"Will the White Knight, who uses White Dust, also produce this kind of monsterization phenomenon?"
You Huan, who had been observing quietly, asked at this time.
When Li heard the word "Bai Chen", he was startled at first, but then he calmed down: this unusual lord might have discovered himself and Witley... and there are more secrets hidden by various major forces.
As soon as Bai Chen said this, she seemed to no longer intend to hide her secret. She sighed and said, "Pure white knights will not turn into monsters. They will only... gradually 'disappear' in nightmares."
"But Whitley has long been infected by the black dust. He is both a receptor of the white dust and an infector of the black dust."
"The situation was urgent just now. The base had been breached. In order to protect us, Whitley overused his power, causing will and changes that did not belong to him to invade his body."
At this point, Whitley also raised his head suddenly -
His eyes were empty at the moment, but they actually emitted a bright light, like two miniature suns!
But the next moment, the white light in his eyes dissipated, the long hair on his face gradually faded, and his eyes showed a human look again.
He looked at his lord, whose face was filled with curiosity, took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, lord. My condition has been a little unstable recently."
Then he looked at Li: "Everyone else in the base, are they okay?"
Li Zhongchen said: "Thanks to you and everyone's concerted efforts, at least two-thirds of the people survived, but..."
"——Many people have fallen into a deeper nightmare. Even I can't wake them up. I'm afraid..."
Witley was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Give them a little more time, they will get through it."
Li lit a cigarette butt and glanced into the distance as he lit it: "But what we lack now is time."
"...What did you see?" Witley was slightly stunned. Wasn't the battle over?
Li raised his head slightly and looked at the corpse beast that had been concentrating on looking outside the territory since some time ago:
"Lord, you have sensed it, right? There is a terrifying big thing approaching us."
You Huan retracted his gaze and looked at Li and Whitley, then passed them and saw a figure sticking his head out from behind the rubble. He said,
"You all should evacuate. This is going to become a very dangerous battlefield."
"What—" Witley's perception was not as strong as Li's. Feeling the sudden solemn atmosphere, he just uttered a word in confusion and saw the figure in the distance.
That one hundred meter tall, pitch black human figure.
"…No. 2, 'Black Giant'." (End of this chapter)
