Chapter 68 We will keep going down until we can no longer move forward
In the past two days, Xingying has suddenly become busy.
Perhaps because of the intense work, many team members had hallucinations. They claimed that they saw a wooden boat floating on the sea of fire. Their description was as accurate as if they really saw the boat.
As the accompanying doctor of the scientific expedition team, Xingying needs to treat these team members.
But after a simple physical examination, Xingying found that these people were very healthy and had no abnormalities.
She could only ask these people to return to Base No. 1 and rest for a while before returning to work.
These people did return to Base No. 1, but their symptoms did not lessen, but became more severe.
They began to feel that they were the ship.
When more and more people began to think that they were a ship, Xingying also realized the seriousness of the situation. She asked the microbiology department to investigate the environment around the base to see if there was some unknown virus spreading.
The results of the microbiology department's investigation came back quickly, and they said they found nothing.
But at this time, more serious illnesses began to appear on a large scale.
People who think they are a boat begin to grow black crusty skin on their bodies.
Although no microorganisms were found, the severe situation caused the scientific expedition team to immediately implement the highest level of isolation measures.
But the situation has not improved at all, and the strange symptoms are still spreading, and getting faster and faster.
Finally, someone discovered the clue.
All people who experienced strange symptoms had the same strange pattern briefly appear on their skin surface.
Immediately afterwards, investigators discovered strange patterns in every corner of the base.
The researchers immediately studied the textures, but found nothing. It was not a substance at all, but more like a phantom produced by their own vision. All the instruments did not find any special substances. Those substances with textures were under the instruments.
The phenomenon is no different from normal matter.
And while they were studying this thing, these lines had already spread all over Base No. 1 and Base No. 2.
The members of the scientific expedition team had a crazy guess that these patterns may be some kind of high-dimensional creatures, which can spread through various channels. With their existing technology, they have no ability to resist their spread, and this kind of
Biological hazard is extremely high!
They tried to investigate the transmission routes of these patterns, and then found to their despair that in addition to the conventional transmission routes of microorganisms, these ghosts could also spread through light, through medium vibration, and even through energy lines!
This thing is a fatal natural disaster that is absolutely irresistible to civilization!
When this conclusion was concluded, no one in the entire scientific expedition team was spared.
In grief and despair, the leader of the scientific expedition team sent a final warning message to the mothership, telling the mothership not to come to rescue them and to run as far away as possible!
"Something is not quite right."
Or Xingying discovered something unusual.
"Some infected people had been working outside and never returned to the base, but they were still infected outside."
"Do you think there are other sources of infection outside?"
"It's not like that, it's not."
Xingying shook her head, her heart filled with pain and despair: "These infected people all have one thing in common, that is, they were all infected after contacting infected personnel within the base."
"What? What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that this thing may be spread through communication."
"This is impossible!"
The other party covered his face, squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
"This is fake, this is impossible..."
This discovery was quickly sent to the person in charge of the scientific expedition team.
After seeing the bad news, the person in charge was stunned for a long time, and then burst into tears.
He thought about the communications with the mothership.
He didn't know whether those weird things had spread to the mothership, because the mothership had quickly left after receiving the information, and they had no way of knowing now.
Moreover, even if the mothership has not left, he cannot ask about the situation of the mothership. It is still communication. Even if the mothership is not infected, this inquiry will cause these ghosts to spread.
They were completely desperate.
In this desperate moment, someone finally thought of those seeds of desire.
When they opened the door to the warehouse where the Seed of Desire was stored, the cracked Seed of Desire and the large number of strange patterns pouring out from it almost caused them to collapse completely.
These ghost things are brought about by the seeds of desire!
No one remembers that someone once made that wish as a joke.
But I remember that seed.
It knows someone's expectations, and then spreads the most powerful, violent, and despairing terror it knows.
Now that man owns a house of horrors.
If he is still alive.
Those infected who are in the most serious condition have completely lost their human form. They have turned into vague masses of flesh and blood, like piles of wriggling maggots, squirming around aimlessly and clinging to walls and ceilings.
This collapse caused by despair lasted for a long time, during which many people died or turned into monsters.
Finally, the last group of survivors woke up. They were the core members of the scientific expedition team. They realized that there was no point in turning into monsters in despair and eventually dying.
This is a complete waste of the little time they have left, and is the biggest crime they can commit now.
So they decided to do something.
They decided to go down.
There are many more seeds of desire in the warehouse.
They collect the seeds of wishes and use them to make wishes so that they can maintain their sanity and downward power as much as possible.
Patterned tentacles stretched out from the Seed of Desire. These tentacles tightly wrapped and tied the members of the scientific expedition team, and then pierced their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, these tentacles began to merge with their bodies.
At the same time, their bodies also began to expand and deform rapidly. They became thick, round, and fat, and the protective clothing on their bodies burst. Then, their skin surface began to shed sarcoma like melted candles.
These tumors quickly become hard and dark, and eventually turn into something like tree bark.
Their hands and feet began to lose their original appearance, turning into a combination of tentacles and sarcoma. However, this change not only did not affect their ability to move, but made them more flexible.
In the end, they almost completely turned into a seed, a seed of desire.
Only the outline of the face is still blurry on the front of the seed.
These unrecognizable people dragged their inhuman bodies on their downward journey.
"We still decided to go down."
