Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

Ling Shuang's pupils suddenly contracted.

Two years later, a space rift appeared on the far side of the moon, like a door being pushed open from the inside.

More than a dozen strange beasts, covered in scales, poured out of the crack; it took the troops heavy weapons to kill them all.

"Then, Xuan Nu 01's cosmic bacteria suddenly regained activity."

Mycelium sprouted from the crevices of the aircraft, enveloping the entire fighter jet, and then dragged away and devoured the corpses of the alien beasts.

Ling Shuang remained silent for a while.

"You coexist with the cosmic bacteria, so the Luan Bird Legion's mechs are like that too?"

"Yes," Wu Yi said. "In the following six months, strange beasts kept emerging from the spatial rifts."

The core of each mech is a second-tier source crystal.

After the mech pilot and the mycelium form a symbiotic relationship, the mech pilot can replenish the source crystal with energy through their own metabolism, but at maximum output, the source crystal itself will still be consumed.

Zhang Mu, who was listening nearby, was dumbfounded.

"So you guys... you've been fighting monsters since you were on the moon?"

"More or less." Wu Yi's lips twitched slightly.

"In that crater on the far side of the moon, there are not only cosmic bacteria, but also many things that we cannot understand."

Experts at Nantianmen refer to it as a "legacy of friendly civilization".

Like instruction manuals, we can use them, but we can't fully understand them.

"heritage?"

Ling Shuang immediately thought of the ruins of Atlantis, and the mermaid girl Batica who wore a colorful flower wreath.

Could it be Atlantis's help?

"At that time, the crater suddenly expanded and swallowed us and our equipment."

When we came to our senses, we were in a completely unfamiliar place.

Not an ice field like yours, but a gigantic wormhole woven from energy conduits.

"Wormhole?" Zhang Mu's voice rose.

"Wormhole." Wu Yi repeated.

"We drifted in the wormhole for almost three months, and it felt like time was out of control."

In three months, we lost seven exploration mechs.

Ling Shuang could imagine their despair at that time.

But I also subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

Three months? The timeline doesn't match up at all.

Keep in mind that their neighborhood had only been in this strange world for a little over twenty days.

Is the timeline inside a wormhole non-linear or disordered?

"How did you manage to contact command?"

"Later, I activated the Lord System." Wu Yi looked at Zhang Mu. "Of all the members of the Luan Bird Legion, only I activated it."

"Your territory isn't actually Xuan Nu 01, is it?"

As a fellow lord, Zhang Mu immediately realized what was going on.

"Yes," Wu Yi said. "After Xuan Nu 01 is activated, its first building will be a signal base station."

"The difference is that the base station on Xuan Nu 01 is powered by the core of the cosmic bacteria, and its power is at least ten times greater than yours."

Wu Yi paused.

"It was thanks to this base station that we received the signal from the Nantianmen Command Center."

When Commander Gu's voice came through the noise.

That was the first time in three months that we realized we still had a reason to live.

Then, for some inexplicable reason, we fell out of the wormhole again, and like from God's perspective, we saw the whole world here and even entered an ice field.

But in the end, we were like we were captured, and we returned to the wormhole.

I took the opportunity to record the information and send it to ground command. We also wanted to find lunar command; they had more information.

"But we soon lost contact with the ground again. Finally, Commander Gu gave us coordinates." Wu Yi's voice lowered.

"This is the human safety zone of your Longmao Prefecture."

He said there are survivors there, and there is hope.

My orders are that the Phoenix Legion must hold this place, and then search for and rescue all possible survivors.

"We attempted our first spatial jump based on the coordinates, but it failed."

We spent nearly a month replenishing our Source Crystals while moving closer to your coordinates.

"The second leap was the one you witnessed."

After Wu Yi finished speaking, he fell silent.

He then thought of other humans in the safe zones.

Those chunks that don't have icefield vehicles, or even where the Greatlord system might not be activated.

How can they stop them? They can't even run away.

Ling Shuang closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The frigid air, reaching minus fifty degrees Celsius, rushed into my lungs from the Frosty Ridge Desert, churning inside my chest like an ice scalpel.

He opened his eyes, turned around, and faced everyone.

"warbler."

The oriole raised its head.

"You just said that humans can't enter fertile land. Why?"

Ying paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"The Fertile Land has been divided and occupied by various forces, and the creatures there grow very quickly, making each spot very precious."

For every one that goes in, one has to come out.

"What if we don't go inside?" Ling Shuang asked. "What if we stay outside the fertile land? How far can the defensive shield cover?"

Ying's pupils contracted slightly.

"The core coverage area of ​​the defensive shield is within the main city walls."

However, the aftershocks of the energy will spread outwards, covering an area of ​​about two kilometers outside the city walls.

Those areas are not within the protection range of the defensive shield, but the Night Ghost Tide will also avoid them.

Because the residual energy from the Fertile Soil's defensive shield has a dispersing effect on them.

But if you appear in fertile land, you will surely become the most perfect slaves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the spark of a new civilization, these are legendary beings."

Ling Shuang was thinking, if it really came to that,

Everyone can hide inside the Xuan Nu fighter jet.

Hide away near fertile land.

Ying's mindset had calmed down by this time.

"However, if you say that your people are also outside, there's a high probability that they will all be wiped out."

Her eyes suddenly fixed intently on Ling Shuang.

"Furthermore, I just heard that before that Night Demon Mother evolved to the third tier, she ate your people, didn't she?"

"The evolution of the Night Demon Mother is extremely difficult. If this is discovered, Fertile Land will spare no effort to hunt you down throughout the entire world!"

Ling Shuang realized that this was indeed a very serious problem, so she turned around and looked at Wu Yi.

"Is the warp drive of Xuan Nu 01 still usable?"

Wu Yi frowned slightly. "It can be used, but the jump requires a large amount of source crystals."

Our current inventory, plus what we've captured in previous battles, is enough for multiple jumps.

"The target of Xuan Nu 01's leap is not fertile soil."

Everyone was stunned.

Ling Shuang turned around, facing the direction of the depths of the northern ice field.

That direction is where those lost safe zones might exist.

They are his fellow human beings, trapped in this apocalyptic world just like him.

"Go find them," Ling Shuang said. "Before the Night Ghost Tide arrives, find other human safe zones and bring them back."

"And then what?" Zhang Mu seemed a little impatient. "Don't be foolish, and what if the ghost tide comes while you're leaving?"

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid that Ling Shuang would be overwhelmed by the pressure and not think things through.

"If we don't go after them, are we supposed to rebuild human civilization with just over nine hundred people?!"

"If we are the only ones who survive the million-strong horde of night ghosts, is it still possible for the civilization milestone to be activated?"

Didn't you see that every milestone you reach is a demand for more people and more seeds of civilization?

Not to mention, if our existence were truly exposed on a large scale, we would be wanted by the entire world.

Ling Shuang's voice suddenly became very calm.

"I'll go to the Atlantis ruins first, while the Mystic Maiden fighter will stay here on standby."

If anything goes wrong, let Xiao Yi lead you away first. Ying knows the location of the fertile land, so she'll hide nearby to avoid the night ghost tide.

"I have a strong feeling that Batyka will give me an answer."
