The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 840 A City

The Starlink Fleet and the Star Core Fleet continue to advance towards the Sea of ​​Dark Matters.

More than 100,000 burning warships paid no attention to this black star that seemed to be dying.

Stars, like everything in the universe, go through the process of birth, growth, evolution, and finally death. Compared with humans and other life, stars die in relatively diverse ways. But the way the star died was decidedly peculiar and unnatural, more like it was forcibly extinguished by some external force.

Because the distance was too far, Jing Jiu couldn't see clearly what the solidified gray layer covering the surface of the star was. He speculated that it might be related to dark matter.

This is the edge of the sea of ​​dark things, where darkness and light are making their final strangle. There seems to be nothing in the empty universe, but it is full of suffocating smells.

Suffocation is often not caused by too much pressure from external things, but from nothing.

The Lieyang battleship stopped in the outer space of the black star system, illuminating the universe a bit, and some space cracks and particle turbulence can be observed. This may be the remnant after the explosion of tens of millions of giant nuclear bombs. Judging from the intensity of the radiation background, it should have occurred in the ancient civilization period hundreds of thousands of years ago.

His ring emits a very faint light, maintaining contact with the battleship, receiving various data.

The light in the transfer spaceship was soft and bright, neither Huaxi nor the cyborg officer noticed this.

It was only then that Jing Jiu knew that the tomb-like universe outside the window was the key star field of ancient civilizations.

Interestingly, Chaotian Continent is on the other side of this tomb.

The black planet is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere is getting more and more oppressive. Gradually, some faded civilizations can be seen outside the spaceship.

Things like transparent thin wings are dyed black, like moths, it is unknown what system of ancient civilization it is.

There are also many existences like star gates in science fiction, floating outside the atmosphere of the black planet.

There are countless black spots on the surface of the gray materials that make up the space door, like rotten mushrooms.

There are also many spore-like things floating in the atmosphere, like smoke.

Ordinary humans couldn't see those tiny spores, but they couldn't hide them from the spacecraft's monitoring equipment and Jing Jiu's eyes.

Under the impact of the smoke, the spaceship made a crackling sound, and there was no sign of contamination on the surface. It seemed that the spores had lost their vitality.

The howling wind replaced the fine crash, indicating that the atmosphere was getting denser and closer to the ground.

The mountains, rivers, valleys and fields have been infested by darkness for many years, and have been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of thousands of years, adding a lot of desolation.

From a distance, those forests and grasslands glow black in the dim light, like an ink painting.

The atmosphere was cut open by the spaceship, the strong wind roared away, and the black forest shook, throwing countless black powder.

There are no tall buildings on the surface of the planet, only thin ribbon-like pipes connecting countless buildings suspended in the air, just like the relationship between blood vessels and muscles. Most of those pipes have been broken and collapsed, and the building complex is also dilapidated, unable to see what it looked like back then.

Not long after, the spacecraft came to the wasteland at the North Pole of the planet.

The ground here is covered with gray things, and a circular base is built.

The circumference of this circular base is at least more than 400 kilometers, and it is extremely huge. Looking from the sky, it looks like a crater that was bombarded by an asteroid.

The ring base has the gravitational field of the highest energy level, which can be clearly felt even from a long distance.

Huaxi glanced at Jing Jiu, but didn't see any emotional change on his face.

The spaceship landed in the ring base, like a grain of dust falling on a porcelain plate, silently, without attracting any attention.

Two officers came out from the circular base to greet Jing Jiu and his party.

At this time, another spaceship broke through the atmosphere and flew over, followed by the sound of a piano.

Huaxi couldn't help frowning.

Shen Yunbu came down from the spaceship, and two teenagers dressed like Taoist boys followed behind him holding a guqin and a sword.

On the planet left by the ancient civilization, in the ring base, under the protection of the gravitational field, it is a bit absurd to suddenly see such a picture.

"Hello, Consultant Shen."

The two officers stood up to salute Shen Yun, a little excited.

Shen Yun buried his face and said expressionlessly: "Now he is the chief adviser of the military, and his rank is higher than mine."

The two officers came to their senses and said to Jing Jiu, "Mr. Adviser, hello."

It was this sentence, they buried Shen Yun again, and said in a louder voice: "Hello, Commander!"

Now Shen Yunbu is the commander of Star Core Fleet, but his authority is still not as high as Jing Jiu.

He waved his hands boredly, took the two boys to the base, and said, "Let them show you around first."

...

...

This galaxy may be the birthplace of ancient civilizations, at least it was once an important residence of ancient civilizations.

Ordinary people in the Starship Alliance don't know everything that exists here, including this planet and this ring base.

There are even very few traces in the hidden net.

The city recorded in the top-secret information is outside the ring base.

This planet is the place where the ancient civilization was first occupied by the sea of ​​dark matter, and that city is the place where the night first appeared. The lives soaked in the night turned into monsters in the sea of ​​dark matter, and began to slaughter and devour living humans and other lives, and the entire city and even the entire planet became hell.

I don't know what method the ancient civilization used to isolate this planet directly, sealing up those monsters and the living humans.

Hundreds of thousands of years later, new humans found this planet according to the clues provided by the priestess.

They landed in this city, and unexpectedly found that it still maintained the appearance of hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Those monsters in the sea of ​​dark matter, those infiltration processes, and those horrific scenes seem to be happening right now.

This is the most precious first-hand information for human beings. Through the observation and research of this planet, they have a deeper understanding of the sea of ​​​​dark matter and those monsters, and they have more methods on how to eliminate these monsters and isolate infection.

In order to avoid causing panic, the Starship Alliance authorities have closely guarded the planet, and only soldiers who have passed strict inspections can enter the base. The research institute below the base is even more heavily guarded. After many researchers came here, they never returned to their hometown.

The former director of the institute is now the dean of the Alliance Academy of Sciences, and Shen Yunbu also worked here for half a year. Logically speaking, this planet should be safe now, but the military and the research institute's observations and experiments are still carefully staying around the base, not daring to go too deep.

The monsters in the Sea of ​​Dark Things can survive without energy. No matter how powerful the means of ancient civilizations are, there is no guarantee that they will hide deep underground, waiting for the day when they wake up.

Jing Jiu had read those materials, so he didn't need an officer's introduction, but he didn't stop the other party from speaking, otherwise the footsteps in the passage would be too monotonous.

Hundreds of researchers are in the underground laboratory. The base is very empty, and the sound of footsteps and voices is extremely far away, and there are faint echoes.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are black fields, streets, buildings, space doors, and corpses.

Those blacks are dust, or powder, and some places are black ointment. I don't know if they are rotten leaves.

Jing Jiu stopped and looked out the window, remembering the art installation under the ice cap of the main planet Antarctica.

——On the sea covered with black oil, a bird was struggling in vain.

The officer thought he was interested in floor-to-ceiling windows, and said: "The impact resistance of high-composite materials is very good, and there is no problem with safety."

Huaxi opened his eyes wide and said, "Since the monsters are all dead, who will attack?"

The officer was stunned, looked at Jing Jiu and explained: "Smooth metal and glass can be insulated from dipping, but the strength still needs to be considered."

Jing Jiu didn't think about the hidden meaning in Huaxi's words, didn't pay attention to the officer's explanation, just looked out of the window quietly.

The city was right outside the window, and there was no sound.

The wind blows through the trees, and the fallen branches and leaves are black.

There was a dead silence.
