Section 300: The Flower Before the Grave
Liquids can change shape at will. This is a property that no solid can possess.
They swallow everything without mercy, wrapping everything they encounter in the flow range. The speed of cell division is faster than ever, and even a screw is not spared. Computers, oxygen generators, solar light panels, core weapon systems, automatic mediation laser emitters, energy conversion devices... "gravy" is like a hungry beast that never knows what it is, rushing around in the space station. They shout to revel here, trampling and occupying everything that they think is valuable.
They are wise, knowing where power must be supplied and where insulation must be done. "Grizzling" carefully bypasses the most dangerous areas and controls prey with a striking fineness and caution.
This is Liao Qiu's superpower. In his thinking space, the pattern circle of "flowing ripples" that is the same as Zheng Xiaoyue is lit up. However, the superpower derived from this is completely different from Zheng Xiaoyue. Liao Qiu's liquid flow comes from the inside of his body. He can control the metal-made machinery through "gravy" and control the entire space station.
It's me, I'm it.
Extremely powerful power is concentrated in Liao Qiu's body. It is a nerve center connected to the central computer of the space station and re-formed. "Griss" is not a madman who will kill prey after obtaining it, nor is it a perverted devil who cruelly hunts all prey in order to pursue achievements. They surround the prey, just want to control it, so as to obtain and transfer the special abilities that prey has. While strengthening itself, they also make the prey bow to itself and obey the orders honestly.
After occupying the entire space station, they began to return.
Liao Qiu's body was reshaped and rose little by little on the ground.
From below the head, a new central system is being formed.
Liao Qiu felt that a lot of metal components were added to his body, and the bone strength became higher and stronger than before. Returning to "gravy" from space has already become wise, or it should be said that it is the effect of mutant cells. They have the ability to think and are considering how to transform themselves as their host.
This is actually a normal behavior. Any virus hopes that the object it is parasitic to become stronger. Only in this way can the stability and security of the parasitic environment be ensured.
The shoulder appeared.
A spine flashing with a silver-white metallic luster slowly rose from the ground. The mutant cells sensed the existence of Liao Qiu's brain. They knew Liao Qiu's fear and understood that Liao Qiu wanted to know more secrets. The image on the big screen ahead suddenly changed, and a projection like a mirror appeared.
They controlled the cameras inside the space station and shot the transformation process from different locations. Looking at the live scenes of the big screen being divided into nine different pictures, Liao Qiu opened his mouth slightly, his eyes twitched, and his heart was filled with unspeakable shock.
The main bones of the arms and legs begin to be generated. They are not the white they used to be, but they are floating with a special luster of metal texture. For a few seconds, Liao Qiu felt that he might become a robot, and he didn't know if there was calcium in his body. The brain immediately received messages from mutant cells. They told themselves not to panic———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Liao Qiu suddenly remembered the very old cartoon "Popeye".
It seems that I will never have to eat spinach in the future.
The ribs and internal organs are generated almost at the same time. The substances added to the body are only metals, and the basic components of protein are not destroyed. Yes, Liao Qiu is a box of "Lego" toys that can be assembled and decomposed. He dissolves and decomposes them and recombines them. There is no trace of muscle fibers, and the skin is not broken at all. The mutant cells only transform the weaknesses in his body, especially some key parts, which are outrageously powerful.
When she felt that her body could move, she lowered her head, Liao Qiu saw the male genitals in the middle of her legs emitting light. The thing was not a light bulb, so of course it could not be the source of light. In fact, it was because it was too bright and smooth, causing the light to be emitted. It was like a piece of stainless steel casting with a disgusting appearance. Even the thick black hair around it was densely surrounded by it, turning into an extremely dazzling silver color.
This is a very strange change.
Liao Qiu flicked it with his fingers curiously and found that it was not as hard as steel as imagined. It was soft and soft, and it was simply just a sign of its appearance.
A strange symbol flashed across the surface of the eyeball. It seemed to be the Latin "alpha" or the Chinese character "hidden". The symbols are slowly getting smaller and deep in the eyes. It is not isolated, and the number is increasing. Liao Qiu found that these symbols do not come from the outside world or reflections on the electronic screen. Instead, they come from the inside of his body and are projected by the central nervous system. All symbols are frontal, not mirror images. They flash through the inside of the eyeball, carrying extremely huge information.
It is the information of the main computer of the space station.
The work of "gravy" to reshape the body has been completed.
Liao Qiu felt that he had become taller than before. About three centimeters, perhaps a little more. The source should be the metal substances in the space station. They are mine, and everything is mine.
When you wear clothes, this feeling becomes more and more obvious.
Lifting his right hand, Liao Qiu was surprised to find that all the mechanical equipment in the space station would move with his own heart. They seemed to have life and were the most loyal soldiers under his command.
Mechanical control, this is my superpower.
The ground observation lens outside the space station is constantly changing, locking the ground. The images are constantly refining on the screen. Liao Qiu saw the city overlooking from the air and the gray squares representing the building.
It is Xichang and it is also the place where you set off on a launch vehicle.
An extremely strong impulse swelled rapidly in my mind.
I want to go back.
I have to go back!
There are so many things to do.
We must return to the team as soon as possible and return to our friends.
Without any attachment, Liao Qiu held the computer console with both hands and turned around and floated towards the passage of the main control cabin of the rocket.
Zhang Mei sat quietly on the chair, where she would sleep forever.
There is no need for any manual operation anymore. As Liao Qiu's intentions move, the connection channel that has been included in the control is quickly closed. A slight vibration came from the cabin. When closing the porthole, Liao Qiu saw that the space station was far away from him and became a shrinking white light spot on the background of the dark universe.
Liao Qiu found that he no longer needed to wear a space suit. This is the information conveyed by mutant cells to the brain.
Instead of changing the preset fall location of the escape pod to Xichang, he shifted the coordinates a little from the original Northwest region and changed them to a location very close to the Northwest base.
Liao Qiu felt that something was waiting for him in the northwest base. Going to that place would help Liu Tianming and his team much more than going directly to Xichang.
This is a judgment from the brain and a warning from mutant cells. When they rarely agree with each other, they even become the common dominance of Liao Qiu's physical behavior.
The shell-shaped escape compartment enters the atmosphere, causing a burning red light during the high-speed fall.
Liao Qiu hugged Zhang Mei's body tightly, and his face became calm.
Even if he died, Liao Qiu felt that there was nothing to regret.
The escape pod that was swallowed by the "gravy" no longer requires manual operation. When it falls to a specified height, a parachute pops up at the tail of the escape pod. A beautiful white flower appeared in the sky, with a heavy pendant, falling down slowly and slowly.
The moment he pushed open the thick hatch door, Liao Qiu felt the warmth from the sun. It was not the unbearable heat he had endured in space, but the warmth that shone on the surface of his body in the cold winter, which was extremely comfortable.
Hearing Zhang Mei's body out of the escape compartment, taking off the helmet from the space suit, Liao Qiu stroked her face with his trembling fingers and sobbing in a low voice.
The fall site was not the Gobi Desert that was once set, but a severely sandy grassland. There was at least a piece of green here, but I don’t know when it could be maintained.
He dug a hole with a simple tool, and Liao Qiu carefully placed Zhang Mei flat. He combed the hair of the deceased and put his helmet on. Looking at Zhang Mei with his hands crossed in front of him, Liao Qiu couldn't help but feel sore in the corners of his eyes. He tried hard to control the urge to cry, and slowly covered Zhang Mei's body with the first handful of sand.
A low-high grave mound quickly piled up on the ground.
There are no tombstones, and the grave is filled with several bouquets of wild flowers that Liao Qiu picked from nearby. The yellow and white flowers sway in the breeze, as if representing the passing of beautiful things.
Liao Qiu took out his backpack and weapons from the escape pole, stood silently in front of the grave, and stood for a long time.
It's better to be dead!
No need to worry about anything, nothing to do.
However, living is not a kind of happiness.
Especially when you have personally experienced being cared for and understand that some things in this world can never be given up, you will truly understand the value of life.
Liao Qiu really wants to say something.
After scouring his stomach, he found that he could not say a word.
There is no need for any bold and solemn statements or earth-shaking oaths. As long as you live seriously, you will be the best reward to Sister Zhang.
She hopes that I will live, and she supports me on this road with her last life.
I will give up hatred and no longer hold grudges to my parents who abandoned me. Although the virus is raging in this world, there are still feelings and love.
With his right hand tightly holding the buckle of the assault rifle on his shoulder, Liao Qiu bent down and saluted solemnly to the grave.
When he turned around and left, his face was no longer confused and filled with unprecedented firmness.
Chapter completed!
