Roland stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the Starwind lounge, looking at the seemingly unmoving starry sky through the thick nanomaterials. There was a crimson liquid sloshing in the wine glass in his hand, sometimes flowing into his mouth, dyeing his lips red.
This starry sky looks so peaceful, who could have imagined the blood and blood that was blowing between the stars
At present, a terrible plague has broken out in the Earth Alliance. In the early stage of the infected person, black blisters will grow all over the body, and the whole person will become very bloodthirsty. If they want to eat raw meat, they will actively attack all living things and even Cannibalism. In the later stage, their skin began to melt and deform, and tentacle-like organs would grow on their bodies. From a distance, the whole person looked like a huge caterpillar crawling on the ground. In the end, most of them burst to death, and only a few survived, but all Can't be considered human anymore. And anyone splashed with their bodily fluids can also be infected.
Infected Zero is a blond guard who is one of the few survivors of the underground massacre in the Forbidden City. Before he fell ill, he said he was caught by the "tentacle" of "Monster" Ethan, and another "tentacle" poured something down his throat. He went mad without warning, attacked several guards and inhumans, and those he attacked were immediately infected. The plague first broke out in the forbidden city, and the committee urgently dispatched the army to block the forbidden city, but it was too late, some infected guards hid their injuries and pulled out of the forbidden city, bringing the infectious disease to other space stations.
Pieces of isolation have been erected, and the Earth Alliance is now at its most vulnerable. The Ophiuchus Alliance, a self-proclaimed humanitarian star nation, took the opportunity to send a rescue team to enter the Earth Alliance with teams from other countries. This is one of the few opportunities to investigate the internal conditions of the closed country in all its dimensions.
Fortunately, before the outbreak of the plague, the Earth Alliance wanted to secretly execute Chen Zeng and brought him out. It's just that they were kidnapped by believers who were well-prepared during transportation. Behind all this, the Ophiuchus Alliance is actually in control. Their informants reported confidential information such as the time and route of Chen Zeng's transfer, and they were responsible for spreading the news to the believers of the Earth Alliance, and Provide them with weapons and equipment in the name of foreign companies. The outbreak of the Great Plague on the Earth Alliance further confirmed the so-called "Four Horsemen" that came before the end of the world - plague, war, famine, and death in the Bible quoted by the Benefactor Society.
Now the plague has begun, and the war is about to start. Coupled with the fact that Ethan's mutated appearance has been spread by survivors of many underground massacres, people increasingly believe that the Great Evil is indeed on the horizon. The number of believers of the Benefactor Society has surged, and the government of the Earth Alliance has become more and more nervous. The Earth government expressly prohibits people from keeping any propaganda brochures or books about the Benzhu Society in their homes, and is not allowed to talk about Chen Zeng, the Benzhu Society, the Great Evil God or even any words about Christianity on any occasion. Anyone who is monitored will be detained morally. value. The ethics court even encourages neighbors, friends and relatives to report each other, and each person who reports can be rewarded with about five points of morality.
But the more repressed something is, the faster it grows. Especially the irrational and provocative ideology of religion. When people face terrible plagues, the fear of their dearest being desperate to eat them, the fear of seeing their child turn into a black bug, the fear of being locked up in quarantine to die Fear, despair engulfed them. They could not get redemption, and their hearts were full of resentment, so they had to seize the last trace of comfort, hoping that their sincerity could impress some power above all else.
Without this hope, one would go mad.
Their informants said that at present, several space stations in the Earth Alliance have been completely isolated, and people in other space stations are panicked. The earth keeps silent about the real situation of the epidemic, but says over and over in the news that "the plague is under the control of the epidemic control center, please don't panic, and actively cooperate with the management", such empty words that no one will believe. Those who have access are fleeing to other star countries, and those without access have to gather in the middle of the night to pray to God and to Chen Zeng's photo. Some people are even praying to the image of a man covered in tentacles painted by an underground artist, asking for forgiveness and forgiveness from the evil god. This image seems to have become the representative of the Great Evil God, and the original form is obviously Ethan Eldridge.
Roland understood the importance of Ethan. And the plans of the Eves also learned a lot from Samuel. He does not believe in the religion of the Eve people, nor does he believe in such nonsense as the entropic gods. But he knew that other universes did exist, especially the second universe that had caused big trouble. The great plague does exist, and if the information is reliable, it also started from Ethan.
Roland sighed. The first time I saw Ethan, the other party wore a clean and tidy gray suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He never imagined that this person would turn into a monster with tentacles all over his body.
I still remember the sudden change in Ethan's body after he woke up from a coma yesterday and learned that the priest named Taniser had died. Now that he thinks about it, he still breaks out in a cold sweat, and I'm afraid he will have nightmares at night. Ethan's eyes first leaked some black things, and then he wailed like a wounded beast. Almost at the same time, countless black tentacles suddenly shot out from behind him. Those things were covered with terrifying barbs and flagella, and even had a huge opening and closing mouth at the top. He and Samuel were caught almost at the same time and thrown out of the medical room, and then the door to the medical room was closed, and no one has been able to open it until now.
All the cameras inside the medical room were broken, and the last footage the crew saw was Ethan wrapping himself in layers with those tentacles. like a cocoon.
Panic spreads on the boat, and people believe that the "big evil" is in their boat. Roland didn't expect that the Faith in the Benefactor Society planned by their Special Intelligence Agency had already begun to spread in the Ophiuchus Alliance, and he couldn't help crying and laughing. However, he didn't know whether Ethan had the virus that carried the plague, and now the situation was beyond his control, so he ordered the Star Breeze to return to the Ophiuchus Alliance immediately.
He also began to waver, not believing in the so-called Great Evil God.
If there really is some kind of super civilization that far exceeds any civilization in the Milky Way exists in other universes, I am afraid that all star countries will face a catastrophe. They must put aside their historical conflicts and ideological antagonisms with each other and guard against possible extra-universal invasion.
And Ethan... should we get rid of him
Roland has been trained by various terrifying agents since he was a child, and his heart has long been as cold as a rock. But pushing this man into the fire pit again and again made him feel a little unbearable and guilty. But after all, he is just a weapon, and it is up to the superiors to decide how to deal with Ethan in the end.
"Report, sir, our spacecraft will be in port in an hour. The headquarters requires us to go through the quarantine process and may be quarantined for a few days." A beautiful female Omega officer reported to him.
Roland nodded and smiled charmingly at her, "I see."
However, she did not leave immediately, and seemed to hesitate to ask something. Roland motioned her to speak with his eyes.
"Sir... That... thing in the infirmary... everyone is scared... Shall we use Robot No. 3 to go in and disinfect?"
Roland shook his head, "No, that person is very important, keep the medical warehouse blocked, and someone will take care of it when the spacecraft arrives."
At this time, Samuel, who had been quietly hiding around the corner since just now, heard their conversation. He frowned and turned to leave.
He didn't know the past entanglement between Roland and Ethan, but he just thought that the Ophiuchus people just like to pretend to be friendly. In fact, they are no different from the Earth Alliance.
There were two Ophiuchus soldiers guarding the door of the medical room where Ethan was located. Samuel approached quietly, knocked one down with a punch, and the other wanted to shoot with a gun. Grabbed the gun and stunned it with the butt. Samuel took out a ten thousand breath ball from his arms, which was the same one that Tanithel had given him before.
He quickly got in touch with someone.
Derek, the genius boy who has been quietly helping the Earth Alliance government despite being locked in the forbidden city, appeared in the air, looking at him indifferently, "Where are you now?"
"It's still the Ophiuchus Star Kaze, we're about to enter port."
Originally, it was impossible to achieve real-time communication with the distance between them, but fortunately, there was a curvature information transmitter on the advanced spacecraft, Starbreeze, and he just had to find a way to remote Just plug into the transmitter's network.
Yes, he had already used the Ball of Breath to get in touch with the Earth Alliance on Eve. And the reason why he was able to break into the basement of Tanisel's house was because of Derek's help.
This time it went very smoothly, and the only risk was that it might be discovered by the Ophiuchus. So call quickly.
"Derek, I need the password for this door. It's the medical warehouse, the one on the second floor of Starbreeze."
"Give me five minutes."
The call was interrupted, and Samuel waited for a while on guard, and sure enough, he heard the door click, and the fingerprint identification lock had been opened. He pushed the door hard, but found that it couldn't be pushed at all.
what happened? Hasn't the door lock been hacked
The alarm sounded suddenly, and the master was instructing someone to attempt to break into the quarantine area. Samuel knew it had been revealed, but he wasn't going to give up. He pushed the door with all his might, but it didn't move like it was sealed. Soldiers rushed over from both sides of the corridor. Samuel turned and threw a punch, knocking down one in three or two, turning one round and kicking the other. Roland rushed over, and as soon as the two of them fought, they knew that they had met an opponent. Samuel's fists were fierce and full of suffocation, while Roland was cautious and calm, not revealing flaws. As soon as the two of them fought, no one dared to get close at will, and no one dared to shoot rashly, otherwise they might accidentally injure their superior.
"Samuel! Say something!" Roland shouted while defending.
Samuel sneered, "What do you want to do to Ethan?"
"It's just that the government wants to check him, it's a routine!"
"Check? Did you use a knife to dissect and check slowly? You hypocrites!"
Just when the two of them were holding each other's wrists, the door of the medical room suddenly opened.
Everyone froze in place, and the faces of the soldiers showed panic and terror.
A slender hand first stretched out from the crack of the door, pushing the door further open, and then Ethan slowly walked out of the darkness. He was wearing the simple robe of the medical room, revealing a large area of ruddy and shiny skin, and the rose-colored emblem was still vaguely visible on his chest, but his originally thin figure seemed to have been reborn, returning to the way he was before entering the forbidden city. A well-proportioned and compact body, full of muscles dormant under the white skin, no more sick gray. His appearance has not changed, but his dark brown hair is neatly combed and shiny, his lips are even more rosy, and a pair of green pupils are as quiet as emeralds, and the slender pupils inside add a hint of strangeness.
He's still Ethan, but it doesn't feel the same. He became unexpectedly good-looking, and the whole person seemed to be glowing with new light, and Roland and Samuel were also a little stunned.
The best look Ethan could have had, it should be now. After the cocooning period, the people of Tianqi will have a short most beautiful time, which is probably now.
But he didn't laugh, didn't cry, didn't have any expression, just watched the chaotic scene calmly. Ethan feels his body full of energy, full of new life, and has never felt so full of power and potential. But his heart was still dead.
"Samuel, don't fight," he said in a flat voice. "They want to check, so let them check."
