Chapter 469.
This place was in a star system similar to a solar system.
The planet with a highly intelligent civilization was called the Long Li Star by the locals.
Although the survival environment of the Changli Star was similar to that of the Solar System, the people of the Changli who lived on it were long-lived species whose individual lifespans were able to live for five or six hundred years.
This makes the Changli civilization in the industrialization, solved the food problem, the average life of the race began to surge.
This allowed those talented and outstanding scientists and leaders to have more time to shine for the entire civilization.
Thus, in terms of the overall civilization’s scientific and technological development, it exceeded the Aquamarine civilization before Su Ping’s push for development by at least one era.
The tentacles of the Kali civilization had already touched the edge of the star system.
While insisting on going out and developing the star sea without wavering.
The Kali civilization also surveyed and developed the underground world of its own home planet.
Not only were there various kinds of underground cities, they had also built tens of thousands of underground mines for scientific research.
The deepest ones had even touched the crust of the earth’s core.
On the planet Kali, in a large underground mine exploration station located in its south pole region.
As the workers drove the large bipedal engineering robots to carry the finished supplies from the tail of a hundred-meter-long transport plane.
In the cabin, a safety officer of the Kali civilization, who didn’t look much different from a normal human except for a little more pointed ears and a narrower, longer face, took a device and scanned the cargo containers that had been transported up from this base at the same time as the supplies were being moved away.
When a subterranean mine was dug deep enough, there was a probability that a gold layer containing a large amount of gold would be found.
This Antarctic base was the lucky one, and therefore received more attention and resources.
With the development of scientific and technological civilization, gold this precious metal not only did not lose its importance because of the development of the times, but because more and more fields will use gold, and let it more and more by the whole civilization’s attention.
Every time the gold is transported, it needs to go through multiple tests to ensure that it is safe.
“No abnormalities.”
The safety officer pressed confirm and answered before walking out of the cabin.
He wasn’t in a very good mood lately.
A day ago, he received a video contact from his wife and learned that his sister had also given birth to a strange child.
It was a faceless baby with only a mouth on its face.
As for why it was also …… was not sure why.
Since ten years ago, the number of deformed children in the Kali civilization has begun to soar.
To the last few months, it is even more straight up, so much so that some people broke the news that nowadays the proportion of deformed babies in the Ka Li civilization in the last week has already exceeded half.
And the deformities are getting more and more frightening and bizarre.
The security officers don’t believe in these people who don’t want to see the world in chaos.
But with more and more of these things happening around him, and with people close to him, he was suspicious and worried.
After all, his wife is also pregnant.
Although after expert testing has been no abnormality.
But the safety officer still remembers, his little sister a week before the birth of the test report, but is still all normal.
Was worried and agonized in this way.
The security officer suddenly heard a sharp, with a hint of joyful voice coming from the headset:
“Notice to all employees of the Antarctic Underground Research Base.”
“This research base has finally dug up a vein rich in magic gold!”
“All employees of this base will receive an extra bonus that will not be lower than their annual salary!”
“Then …… all cheer up!”
Hearing this good news, the safety officer was slightly shaken, and he should have been rejoicing.
Instead, his heart skipped a beat.
But inexplicably, there was a kind of intuition of impending catastrophe bubbling up.
It seems …… like something bad …… is about to happen?
The safety officer shook his body, slowed his steps and leaned against the wall.
Immediately, there was a pain in his brow!
The safety officer suddenly passed out.
But only for a moment, not even waiting for his body to fall back and touch the ground.
This safety officer then opened his gleaming eyes once again and stood up again while keeping his breathing steady.
Just this instant change.
The one who was manipulating the safety officer at the moment was an incarnation of Su Ping’s Spectral Immortal Body that had split off.
After realizing that the Spectral Incarnation, although weak, was able to pass through the space-time node faster to save time.
Su Ping then utilized this avatar.
Not to mention that even if it was weak, it was still a Transcendent, and it should have the power to defend itself in this aura-less world.
Then, as long as the avatar arrived at its destination, it would also be the same as Su Ping’s original body arriving at its destination.
At any time, Su Ping could directly king the local area and receive all the resources in that star system.
Su Ping’s Underworld avatar had saved almost four-fifths of the time compared to other avatars arriving at the star system where the Kali Civilization was located.
Only that such a fast shuttling was not without a price.
After arriving at the target planet, this incarnation’s consciousness was also temporarily confused.
After relying on instinct to find the most suitable native intelligent lifeform.
It took nearly an incense stick of time before he could be considered successful in seizing the body and having control of this body.
The safety officer’s native consciousness, however, had not been devoured, but was only trapped in the sea of consciousness, and could only observe everything in horror.
“Your intuition wasn’t wrong.”
“Your civilization has no idea what they dug up?”
“To be able to accumulate so much on a planet so densely, I don’t know if I should say it’s your civilization’s luck or great misfortune?”
Su Ping quickly read the security officer’s memories and knew all the secrets of the middle-aged man called Cavert.
And keenly realized that the magic gold dug out of this base was the gray gold used to refine the Abyssal Gray Soil that he needed for his own large size.
Grey gold, just like nuclear raw materials, was strongly radioactive, a kind of terrifying radiation in a realm that at least present-day technological civilizations had not yet recognized.
Judging from what the Kali civilization began to encounter.
Even if there is no aura, no awakened world consciousness to push it.
These radiations from the gray gold were still slowly taking effect.
Moreover, Su Ping’s incarnation was able to rely on his transcendent intuition to detect that this world was possibly reaching the critical point where the gray gold radiation would produce a qualitative change!
“To be able to attach to you, it’s kind of fate with you.”
Safety Officer Calvert stood firm and murmured in his mind:
“Don’t worry, your family will help if they can, after all, my mission is considered complete.”
“What comes next is just playtime before waiting for the arrival of the Honored One.”
Security Officer Craft stretched, then turned violently and ran back to the airport.
At the same time, he used the portable helmet’s own communicator to ask for leave from his superiors, who were still reveling in their success.
Calvert was also considered an old employee.
Plus, he had reported on his relative’s matter.
Cavert was smoothly given the leave and was placed in the upper class cabin for the return trip.
Only Su Ping’s incarnation declined the arrangement and chose to pay extra money to board the transport plane that was about to leave.
Calvert’s superior, a gray-haired man two meters tall with a neck as thick as his head, saw the report and frowned slightly:
“That’s no way to serve as a security officer with that mental quality.”
“Though it can be understood, this kid’s wife is also about to give birth.” “But …… digging into the magic gold, every position of this base is going to be very valuable.”
“At this time, any problem will be infinitely magnified, this kid’s position is probably going to be untenable.”
This superior shook his head slightly, but he did not remind Calvert.
It couldn’t be helped, who made him want his own people to come and help him as well?
It was just that while Su Ping’s incarnation was relying on Cavert’s identity, he took off in the transporter and quickly disappeared into the sky.
At the underground mine entrance of the Antarctica research base.
A piercing alarm had already sounded inside.
Some researchers were horrified to see workers in protective suits climbing out of the shaft elevator.
After opening the suits with the help of the surrounding personnel, they found that the people inside had all suffered extremely horrifying deformities.
There was hardly an inch of intact skin left on them, and all the hair on their bodies had fallen out, and there were bloated pustules and lumps of flesh everywhere.
The features on their faces were also completely distorted in these lumps of flesh, making it impossible for even the closest people to recognize each other.
“What’s going on?”
“Why have they become like this!”
“What the hell happened to them in the underground passage?”
“They’re just workers from the Yumkin layer, there’s no zone deeper underground at all!”
“The video recordings are all there as well, they were suddenly experiencing discomfort and then started returning en masse.”
“Then …… in the elevator when the monitoring found that they appeared serious abnormality.”
The scientists and bureaucrats on the ground were dumbfounded.
This was a situation they had never encountered before.
There was no dangerous gas leak, nor was it an earthquake that caused the passageway to collapse, or an equipment abnormality that led to a fire or even an explosion.
Rather, it was the workers whose vital signs had been all normal before.
In a short period of time, all of them had turned into a bunch of monstrous meat block-like creatures?
Looking at those mutated workers, quite a few people felt that they had been mentally contaminated, and even began to wonder if they had encountered a mess of gods, demons, monsters, and other existences.
However, there was also a part of the scientists who had obviously guessed something, their expressions were terribly serious.
At the first moment the meeting ended, these scientists hid and held a small meeting.
After making a decision to jointly report their guesses to the top.
Preparing to head to those workers’ wards in the hope of extracting a portion of their body tissues for research, they did so.
Just as they reached the passageway leading to the emergency ward, they suddenly heard what sounded like the hissing of a fierce beast as well as screams coming from inside.
Several people stopped in a hurry, looked at each other and started to back up.
No one was willing to move forward to see what was happening in the ward.
They had just retreated when an alarm sounded at the entrance of the passageway.
Some heavily armed security personnel rushed out.
The scientists who rushed to get out of the way noticed that they were all armed.
Bang!
These security personnel kicked open the door, and then the few team members near the entrance trembled for a moment, as if they had seen some extremely horrifying images.
Then, without hesitation, these team members raised the shotgun-like weapons in their hands and desperately pulled the triggers.
Bang bang bang!
The ringing sound echoed at the mouth of the passageway for a few seconds before it stopped with a series of miserable screams.
The scientist, who was running at the end, stared wide-eyed and saw the figure of a team member who had dropped his weapon appearing there at the turn of the passageway entrance.
The team member also saw the scientist and opened his mouth as if to yell something.
The mouth had just opened, but suddenly his body lurched, but a mass of flesh emerged from his mouth.
Then, the team member brushed it off and was dragged back.
It left the scientist’s brain a little bit in a daze, and it was hard to understand what had just happened.
Still, it was only after being pulled by his companion that he left the entrance of the passageway and closed the multiple security gates.
“Cough, cough!”
The few scientists gasped for a while.
Then they realized that everyone’s eyes became red.
Then blood actually began to flow from their noses and the corners of their eyes.
“Something’s not right, this isn’t right.”
“Cough cough cough, our bodies are all going wrong.”
“Quick, pull up the information of the employees who first came into contact with those patients!”
“See if they’re also experiencing more serious symptoms!”
The scientists quickly saw evidence to support their judgment through the ubiquitous surveillance.
The employees who had first come into contact with those aberrant workers were all showing symptoms of varying degrees of lesions.
Although there were slight individual variations, it was possible to determine that the earlier the exposure and the longer the exposure the more severe the symptoms would be!
Such contagion …… scientists are not unfamiliar.
The Kali civilization had been exposed to the power of nuclear bombs five hundred years earlier and had used nuclear power in various places.
A similar radiation sickness immediately came to mind.
Only, where was the initial source of radiation? How did it manage to instantly turn those people into new sources of radiation.
And most crucially, why did their radiation monitoring equipment, to this day, still show that everything was normal?
“Cough cough cough, must make the top pay attention, such undetectable radiation …… is simply unheard of! And …… is likely to have a lot to do with the anomalies of the current civilization!”
The scientists were discussing when they suddenly felt a tremor under their feet.
And then they felt the entire base begin to shake.
However, it was a large explosion that appeared in the underground building area.
The flames began to spread.
The underground passages began to collapse.
And on the rooftop of the base.
A group of senior bureaucrats boarded the small vertically-landable transporter on the rooftop, intending to leave the base.
Only just as the transporter had lifted off the ground, the pilot realized that the radar had begun to sound an alarm.
“What’s going on?”
Stunned, the pilot realized that the source of the danger was actually coming from high above his head!
In the sky, an iron box from an orbital platform suddenly opened after reaching a certain height.
Immediately, thousands of small black balls were ejected from the iron box, turning into a dragnet covering the base.
The transportation plane was also covered by this large net.
It turned into a fireball in the air on the spot!
At the same time, a nuclear bomb was rapidly flying in the distance.
As the bomb hit the base.
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the air, flattening all the surface buildings of the research base.
The flight that Calvert was traveling on did not make it to its destination.
Instead, he was escorted by fighter jets and appeared at a military base where he was strictly quarantined.
Several generals of notable stature observed the lingering aircraft through surveillance whispering from hundreds of kilometers away.
“It’s been three hours, and according to life detection, everything is normal for the passengers and crew.”
“The intelligent robots have also collected everyone’s saliva, and the tests have revealed that no one has shown any aberrant reactions.”
“It seems the transport was lucky to leave the Antarctic research base before the aberration radiation could reach the surface.”
