Chapter 718: Companions were assimilated
Meng Xiang was flying over the sea on the Green Magic Board. Except for the occasional flying birds, he could fly safely over the ocean in most cases, so Meng Xiang increased the speed of the Green Magic Board to the limit. After flying for most of the day, he had reached the Australian border in Oceania.
Continuing to fly south along the coastline, the strange shapes they encountered became more and more numerous, especially the seabirds over there, which sometimes attacked Meng Xiang in the tens of thousands. As a result, once Meng Xiang encountered a flying bird, he had to land on the ground, fly over the ground, and get rid of the bird before he dared to fly in the sky again.
Meng Xiang was not afraid of the strange shapes parasitic on the bird, but, on the one hand, in order to save energy, on the other hand, he did not dare to make too big movements. He was like a frightened bird, always wary of the clones, afraid that if he caused a big commotion, it would attract more clones.
After two days, they had entered Antarctica. Not to mention humans, even ordinary creatures were gradually becoming scarce. Meng Xiang could fly with peace of mind and at a faster speed.
"Fang Ru, Fang Ru, do you hear me? You are holding the telepathic device, right? Why don't you answer?" During the break, Meng Xiang had been trying to contact his companions. However, through the perspective bag, the telepathic device was clearly in Fang Ru's private space, but he just couldn't get in touch with him. This made Meng Xiang extremely anxious.
Could it be that his companions met with an accident? When he thought of this, Meng Xiang's heartbeat accelerated, and he wanted to reunite with his companions immediately. Fortunately, Fang Ru finally replied.
"Fang Ru, where did you die?" Meng Xiang was furious. Fang Ru didn't answer him, which made him anxious in vain.
"It's okay, I just fell asleep." Fang Ru's nonchalant tone made Meng Xiang almost burst into curse.
"I have entered Antarctica, but there is a heavy snowstorm around. I guess it will take until the day after tomorrow for me to reach the vicinity of the launcher. Let's meet up there then." Meng Xiang said, suppressing his anger.
"Okay, that's it. I'm so sleepy." After saying that, Fang Ru hung up the phone.
"Crack, this guy doesn't want to live anymore?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but curse a few words, and flew into the air again. The surroundings were covered with ice and snow, and the wind was strong. It was not easy to fly on the Green Magic Board, let alone fly at high speed. Even if it was suspended, it would be blown down by the heavy snow.
Meng Xiang didn't want to waste time here, so he had to go back to the snow and run forward. With his energy control, he could step on the snow without leaving any traces, so it was not difficult for him to move forward even in a heavy snowstorm.
Of course, the visibility is too low now, so Meng Xiang can't run at full speed. But at this speed, even if the blizzard continues, including rest time, Meng Xiang can rush to meet up with his companions within 3 days.
However, what surprised Meng Xiang was that Fang Ru seemed very tired and spoke with no energy. After saying a few words, he was about to hang up the phone, as if he was seriously ill.
As long as they meet up with their companions, find a suitable place to hide, avoid the replicas and the monsters, and survive for 10 days, they can return. Meng Xiang was in a good mood, driving at high speed all the way, passing by icebergs, speeding in the frozen sea, feeling very happy.
Suddenly, Fang Ru's words shocked Meng Xiang.
"Mu Fei'er, Gu Panpan and Ling Suqing were assimilated by the monster and are now missing."
"What? When did it happen?" Meng Xiang exclaimed, his heart pounding.
"Just now, the monster took advantage of Ling Suqing going to the bathroom and somehow assimilated her. Then she used the machine to assimilate Mu Feier and Gu Panpan. Fortunately, Gu Panpan's qigong manipulation is very similar to energy penetration. She can sense the invasion of alien energy in the body and remind Zhuo Luo before being assimilated. Otherwise, we will all become monsters." Fang Ru's words made Meng Xiang at a loss.
Being assimilated by the monster does not mean death, as long as you return to the main god space, you can recover immediately. However, becoming a monster is like having one foot in hell, and even if you want to save them, it will be very difficult.
"Which direction did they escape to? Why didn't Zhuo Luo chase them?" Meng Xiang asked angrily.
"After assimilation, Gu Panpan still possesses super strong strength. Zhuo Luo was injured by Gu Panpan in order to protect us. Moreover, they have the ability of assimilation, and we can't stop them from escaping. Do you want us to kill them?" Fang Ru angrily scolded Meng Xiang. They all felt bad that their companions were assimilated by the monster.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about it after we meet up. Also, I will keep an eye out for any traces of them nearby." Meng Xiang sighed, feeling mixed emotions and extremely worried.
He couldn't lose Mu Fei'er, and his promise had not yet been fulfilled. Moreover, during this period of time, Meng Xiang also built a deep friendship with Gu Panpan. This strong and willful little girl was not only an important force of the Wuming team, but also the happy fruit of the Wuming team.
Fortunately, the wind and snow showed signs of stopping and visibility became clearer. Meng Xiang stepped on the Green Magic Board, slowed down, and flew forward while concentrating fully on sensing the movements around him through subtle observation, looking for any traces left by Mu Fei'er and the others.
If two days passed and nothing was found, Meng Xiang would only be 10 kilometers away from the meeting point.
There were less than 9 days left before he could return, but the joy of returning was dampened by the loss of Mu Fei'er and Gu Panpan. Although their deaths had not yet been confirmed, Meng Xiang's mood would be depressed to the extreme if he didn't find them for a day.
As long as he finds Mu Fei'er and Gu Panpan, even if they turn into strange shapes, Meng Xiang has the ability to subdue them, and then find a way to trap them until they return.
Meng Xiang was in a depressed state, like a defeated soldier. Even when he returned to his hometown, he did not feel any joy at all.
Suddenly, Mu Fei'er's long-lost and sweet voice rang in Meng Xiang's mind.
"Brother Meng, I finally waited for you to come back, that's great."
"Fei'er? Where... are you?" Meng Xiang asked immediately, but did not mention the monster. Because the assimilation of the monster directly replaces the original cell and imitates the original cell to work, so the assimilated human, before breaking out of the shell, even with Meng Xiang's keen insight, it is impossible to distinguish between the monster and the normal person. So even if Mu Fei'er can establish a mind connection, it does not mean that she is normal.
The most important thing now is to find where they are hiding and then subdue them. As for why Mu Feier contacted him and what tricks were involved, Meng Xiang didn't care at all.
"Panpan, Lin Suqing and I are in an iceberg cave more than 4 kilometers away from you. Come quickly, our companions... Wow... our companions have been assimilated by the monster." Mu Fei'er said as she started crying.
"Companions? Are you referring to Fang Ru and the others?" Meng Xiang had a question in his mind.
"That's right, Brother Fang, the captain and the others have all turned into strange shapes, wuu ...
Meng Xiang felt that there was something strange. Thinking more deeply, it was not impossible that if Fang Ru and the others turned into strange shapes, and Mu Feier and Gu Panpan discovered the abnormality and escaped in the chaos.
After all, monsters can assimilate and even steal memories.
"I'll meet you now." Meng Xiang put away the Green Magic Board and immediately headed towards the iceberg in the distance.
Mu Fei'er and others hid on the iceberg, more than 4 kilometers away from Meng Xiang, while Fang Ru and others should be waiting at the rendezvous point, which is less than 20 kilometers away from Meng Xiang. Anyway, his companions are all nearby, so Meng Xiang feels at ease.
As long as they can find companions, Meng Xiang will not be afraid even if one of them is assimilated by the monster.
Under Mu Feier's guidance, Meng Xiang quickly found the iceberg. Under the iceberg, three young girls were already waiting.
Ling Suqing was trembling all over, not sure whether it was because of fear or the cold; Gu Panpan put her hands on her hips and looked at him angrily; and Mu Feier, as soon as she saw Meng Xiang, she immediately burst into tears and threw herself into Meng Xiang's arms.
"Fei'er, wait a minute." Meng Xiang quickly retreated more than 10 meters, waved his hands, and said, "I can't touch you now."
"Why?" Mu Fei'er cried.
"Because Fang Ru said that you were assimilated by the monster." Meng Xiang stared at the three people intently. With his keen insight, he could not sense anything unusual.
"That idiot uncle said that we have been assimilated? Humph, a trick of sowing discord, well used. If I had known this, I would have killed him before being bombarded by Zhuo Luo." Gu Panpan was furious. He stepped on the snow and cursed fiercely. His behavior was no different from usual Gu Panpan.
"Fei'er, tell me everything you know." Meng Xiang was on guard. He had to know the cause of the matter before he could come to a conclusion.
