The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 100: The Method to Enter the Crimson Vortex and Bai Yuekui

The gravity body quickly loaded the energy detection program. Hong Kou started the program and looked at Meng Huaifeng. She saw that the light on Meng Huaifeng's body almost enveloped his entire body.

Looking at everyone else, they were all as bright as light bulbs, only when looking towards dawn was there only a faint light.

“You can disable your detection of us, otherwise we won’t be able to see anything. To make it easier for you to observe the weaknesses of the Devouring Beasts, the changes in light are most obvious within a certain range of energy, and we are all outside that range, so you will see us as similar,” Meng Huaifeng said.

Xing jumped onto the roof, looked around, and quickly dragged a Devouring Beast back.

"Try it quickly, in March, thaw it out," Xing said.

Hongkou looked at the frozen Devouring Beast. The light of its energy was extremely weak, clearly indicating that it had been frozen into silence by the Six Phases of March 7th.

After it was thawed on March 7, the energy shone brightly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hongkou drew her sword and struck the brightest spot on the Devouring Beast's body. The Devouring Beast twitched a few times and then stopped moving. The energy light gradually faded and dissipated into the air. The Devouring Beast showed no signs of reviving.

She had actually killed the Devouring Beast. Hongkou felt a mix of emotions.

The lighthouse, a nightmare for countless people, was shattered just like that.

Hongkou opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. Others had already helped the Lighthouse enough; she couldn't be greedy.

Moreover, having already been banished by the lighthouse, what right do I have to speak?

Huaifeng sent the weaknesses of the Devouring Beast to the Lighthouse yesterday. He just hopes that the Lighthouse's research institute can work hard this time and find a way to discover the weaknesses of the Devouring Beast as soon as possible.

Lord Morgan, your vision is far too short-sighted.

This world has undergone drastic crustal changes, and many roads from before the cataclysm have been broken and are no longer passable, which is why the stars frequently overturned yesterday.

The journey to Hisakawa City, where the Mana Flower King is located, is too far, so the pioneering team has opted to fly instead of driving.

Walter could create mere airplanes with ease; he was practically a god.

Nearly two hours later, the pioneer team arrived in Hisakawa City before the catastrophe.

Hisakawa City is the starting point and source of the catastrophe, the research site for the immortality experiment, and the place where the Mantle Vine, Mana Flower, and Devouring Beast first appeared.

The ruins of the buildings and the scattered remains of various robots show that the city's technology was already highly advanced before the catastrophe, and it had entered a highly intelligent life.

The pioneering team stopped, gazing at the giant mana flower in the city center from afar.

"This distance is enough. Let's not get too close. If we disturb the Mana Flower King and it awakens all the dormant Devouring Beasts, it will cause some trouble," Meng Huaifeng said.

Meng Huaifeng sat on a balcony with his legs dangling, his phone floating on his legs, projecting a virtual screen and keyboard.

“Then I’ll examine the petal I picked too, Walter. Thank you for your help,” Himeko said to Walter.

Walter cleared out a room, and Himeko took out several devices from the ticket space and began her research experiments.

"How boring, what should we do?" March 7th asked.

"Let's go find the dormant Devouring Beasts to play with," Xing suggested.

The energy fluctuations of the dormant Devouring Beast were extremely weak, but they still couldn't escape Xing's deliberate search.

The Star General dragged the Devouring Beasts out of the corner one by one. The Devouring Beasts that were dragged out were all confused and had no idea what was going on.

On March 7th, the surrounding aura was sealed off to avoid attracting too many Devouring Beasts and causing trouble.

Zhu Zhuqing's agile figure flashed among the Devouring Beasts, occasionally poking their vital points.

Hongkou and Poxiao's lips twitched; in their eyes, the Devouring Beast was almost like a toy.

"Sister Hongkou, Dawn, would you like to play with them?" Xing greeted the two enthusiastically.

Hongkou and Poxiao exchanged a glance and jumped into the Devouring Beast.

"want!"

Consider it an opportunity to gain combat experience.

……

Survivor settlement, Dragonbone Village.

Bai Yuekui, the actual controller of Dragon Bone Village, is a genius scientist and a successful experimenter in immortality. Decades have passed, but his appearance remains that of someone in his twenties.

As a beneficiary of the immortality experiment that triggered the cataclysm, Bai Yuekui knows the origin of the apocalypse in great detail, but is limited by his abilities and cannot solve it. He can only do his best to gather the survivors and keep looking for ways to solve the Mana ecosystem.

Jiuchuan City is both the origin of the apocalypse and Bai Yuekui's hometown, so it has always been under Bai Yuekui's close surveillance.

After leading the villagers of Longgu Village in a fitness exercise, Bai Yuekui returned to the laboratory and habitually glanced at the surveillance footage of Jiuchuan City.

Just as he was about to do what he was going to do next, Bai Yuekui suddenly turned around and looked at the surveillance camera again, walking over and zooming in on a certain spot.

someone!

Bai Yuekui's pupils contracted.

Are there any other settlements known?
No, that's impossible. Other settlements have limited capabilities; they can only operate near the settlement at most, and it's impossible for them to go to such a distant high-risk area.

For the average survivor, just being alive is good enough; there's absolutely no need to risk going to Hisakawa City.

Perhaps they have already realized part of the truth.

Regardless, as a community with a shared future for mankind, we should help those in need.

Bai Yuekui quickly left the room.

"Hey, Boss Bai, where are you going?" Shan Da, a burly man, asked, looking at Bai Yuekui, who was fully armed.

"Save them," Bai Yuekui said succinctly.

"Ah, I'll go and call everyone together," Shandong said hurriedly.

"No need, I'll go by myself this time." Bai Yuekui hopped on his motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and left Longgu Village.

Dragon Bone Village is not too far from Hisakawa City, and motorcycles are much faster than armored vehicles.

Judging from their fighting style, they don't seem like ordinary people. Hopefully, they can make it in time.

……

“It’s not difficult to send a false message into the Crimson Vortex Space by disguising the Mana Flower to lure the Crimson Vortex out, but this method can only be used once. If it doesn’t work the first time, it may not work the next time.”

"Sigh, the time is too short. I've only been learning quantum jump technology from Teacher Silver Wolf for less than ten days. I'm still not proficient in positioning coordinates. Jumping within a space is fine, but jumping from one space to another is not so easy."

"Then rewrite the entry conditions of the Crimson Vortex. This method is the easiest. As long as we become more familiar with the information encoding of the Mana Flower and the Crimson Vortex, it is not difficult to do with my current technology."

"However, since I tricked the Crimson Vortex out and no Devouring Beasts have handed over their Life Essence yet, will the Crimson Vortex disappear prematurely? It's very possible. We can't really let the Devouring Beasts obtain enough Life Essence to hand over, because that involves human lives."

"To be on the safe side, we need to improve it further. The faster the compilation and rewriting speed, the better. We need to succeed before the vortex closes and make sure there are no mistakes. Hmm, quantum jump technology should also be developed in parallel. When the vortex appears, the jump between the two spaces will be much easier. If the vortex detects something is wrong and closes immediately, we can also try to enter using quantum jump."

"If all else fails, we can spend more time. Even without the Ape Vortex, we can force our way into the Ape Vortex space using quantum leap. Maybe Sister Himeko can find the Ape Vortex space too. No, she definitely can. She's giving us young people a chance to train."

Meng Huaifeng typed on the keyboard while muttering to himself.

The method has been basically determined, and all that's left is to spend a little time preparing.

Xing had had enough of playing with the Devouring Beasts and was now rummaging through various ruins for anything still usable. She was once again experiencing the joy of scavenging.

The ruins looked like garbage cans.

You never know what interesting things are hidden inside until you start searching.

Occasionally, you can even find a dormant Devouring Beast, which is really exciting!
"This must be a game cartridge from this world, right?"

"Wow, a safe, and so many gold bars!"

"Hmm, the barbell is too light, throw it away."

"An unopened doll! Not as good as the Black Tower."

"..."

March 7th looked at the stars that were getting dirty and sighed. Let them rummage all they want; it's better than rummaging through the trash can.

"Someone's coming." March 7th's ears twitched as he looked in the direction the sound came from.

A girl with short white hair, wearing a white fur coat, high-waisted hot pants, and a Tang sword hanging at her waist, was riding a motorcycle toward them.

"Who are you?" March 7 asked curiously.

I never imagined that there would be people in this world who would dare to walk alone in the dangerous wilderness.

Sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from her, although not strong, most Devouring Beasts should be no match for her.

I thought the world was full of ordinary people, but it turns out the lighthouse is just too lame.

"I am Bai Yuekui. Who are you people, and why are you here?"

Bai Yuekui braced her long, beautiful legs against the motorcycle and asked.

Before I arrived, they had already been fighting the Devouring Beasts, yet they didn't trigger a Devouring Beast tide, a method similar to Returning to Origin?

Meng Huaifeng, who was on the balcony not far away, was slightly stunned. He disappeared instantly, and Xing, who was scavenging, also disappeared. The next moment, the two appeared in front of Bai Yuekui.

"Since you've asked so sincerely," Meng Huaifeng said, taking out a rose and sniffing it lightly.

"Then we'll mercifully tell you." Xing's face was ashen.

"To prevent the world from being destroyed."

"To protect world peace."

"Upholding justice with love and truth."

"A cute and charming decent character."

"star."

"Meng Huaifeng".

"We are nameless travelers traversing the Milky Way."

"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow!"

"Meow, that's it." Zhu Zhuqing popped out from between the two and waved.

March 7th covered her face, feeling so ashamed. Luckily, Zhu Qing was there, otherwise she would have been one of them.

"Ah Xing, what happened to you? You're so dirty! You're ruining our image!" Meng Huaifeng pushed Xing away in disgust.

"Damn it, who told you not to tell me beforehand?" With a burst of Star Pioneer power, the dust on his body disappeared.

"No, let's do it again! I wasn't ready!" Xing said unwillingly, determined to salvage her image in front of Bai Yuekui!

“I wasn’t prepared either; this is Ahha’s passive effect. No, I need to find a way to block out the passive effect as well.” Meng Huaifeng frowned slightly.

He recalled a certain sea patrol knight who would always transform his swear words into other elegant terms.

If you were to grant yourself a blessing, automatically transforming any words related to "who" or "what kind of person" into other words in your ears, would that be effective?
Editing with Ethereum doesn't seem difficult to do.

Bai Yuekui blinked and said, "Um, Nameless Guest, right? Is this a scene from an animated film before the apocalypse? I don't think I've seen it before. It looks quite interesting. Can I take a look? I can trade it with you using my collection."

"Ignore them. My name is March 7th. We're here to help solve the Mana problem." March 7th was an honest little girl.

"Solve the Mana ecosystem? How much do you know about it?" Bai Yuekui's eyes lit up.

"Hmm, how did the Mana Ecosystem come about? Anyway, it's related to the Crimson Vortex. Entering the Crimson Vortex space should solve the problem." March 7 frowned, deep in thought, but he couldn't remember anything else except the Crimson Vortex.

However, that was enough for Bai Yuekui.

It seems that this group has truly grasped the core of the apocalypse. If they cooperate with me, the chances of success will increase even further!

"The Ape Vortex Space isn't easy to enter; special conditions need to be met. And even if you get in, it's not so easy to resolve," Bai Yuekui said.

"How did you know?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

"You're the one who went into the Ape Vortex Space once, right?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Huh? Is that her? That's amazing!" March 7th exclaimed.

"How did you know?" Bai Yuekui frowned, this time it was her turn to ask back.

"The Mana Flower told me that someone once entered the Crimson Vortex Space," Meng Huaifeng said, pointing to the Mana Flower in the distance.

"Can the Mana Flower also convey information?" Bai Yuekui frowned even more deeply, but still asked.

“That’s right. I’ve been to the Ape Vortex Space once, but I have no memory of it. My essence was also injured and has not yet recovered.”

"It's already amazing that Sister Bai Yuekui was able to get in. Let's leave the rest to our train crew," March 7 praised, then patted his chest to assure her.

"I told you, getting in isn't that easy. I used special methods to do it." Bai Yuekui shook his head, not really believing it.

She was confident that she was the strongest person on the planet. If even she couldn't do it, how could they?
In fact, the fact that they knew about the Crimson Vortex Space was already beyond her expectations and surprised her greatly.

"I know, it only applies to Devouring Beasts and the Triple Helix Gene Chain," Meng Huaifeng said calmly.

You even know that?
"Have you figured out how to get in?" Bai Yuekui asked.

“I have three ways to get in. But I need to prepare a bit.” Meng Huaifeng held up three fingers.

Three types, each more powerful than myself?
Is it true or just wishful thinking?

"Could you explain in more detail?" Bai Yuekui wanted to hear if it was feasible.

“Of course.” Meng Huaifeng explained his thoughts one by one.

Bai Yuekui's eyes gleamed with wonder. Was the first one an information network-related ability? The other two were similar to the methods he used.

The feasibility is very high!
Bai Yuekui has acknowledged their ability to enter the Ape Vortex Space, but their ability to deal with the unknown entities within it remains uncertain.

These people are just as capable as ourselves; we cannot let them rush in and die. We must plan this carefully!
“Although I don’t know why the Ape Vortex Space could erase my memories but not kill me directly, it’s definitely not simple inside. I only disappeared for 0.7 seconds outside, but my senses tell me I was inside for 137 seconds. Why don’t you come with me to Dragon Bone Village first, and we can discuss this further?” Bai Yuekui sincerely invited.

“By the way, Dragonbone Village is a survivor settlement I established,” Bai Yuekui added.
