Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 724: Fire! !
"Just counter each move as it comes." Ze Luo said calmly.
"One more thing..." For a moment, Ke Lan felt like a nagging old woman, "This big guy can fuse the genes of other creatures through eating, including any parts torn from the enemy... It just swallowed a little hair and dandruff stuck to my coat, and it replicated the ability similar to that of a living armor. Although this replication is not complete, but..."
He didn't continue, but Ze Luo already understood what Ke Lan meant - if even Ze Luo's abilities were copied by this fusion Plus, then it would be difficult to find anything on this Ark that could kill it.
"You can rest assured about this matter." Ze Luo raised her white wrist, and the next second, her fair skin was stained with a layer of iron gray, and even had a hint of the unique texture of metal.
"You said that this monster can promote its own evolution by fusing the genes of other creatures... but I can be a creature, an inorganic substance or something else." Ze Luo continued to say to Ke Lan, "It depends on my will. As long as I want, even if it swallows me whole, it won't be able to grab any genetic material from me."
Swallow the whole person... Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the Monkey King who had been making a fuss for 300 rounds in Princess Iron Fan's body... If Ze Luo were allowed to get into the stomach of the fusion...
Forget it, forget it... Ke Lan shook his head slightly, getting rid of this somewhat outrageous idea. The current situation is still based on stability. As long as Ze Luo can drag the people in the economic development zone to complete the evacuation, the plasma main gun of the Spark cruiser can easily kill the fusion body... In this process, any unexpected operation may become a variable, an unstable factor that affects the entire combat plan.
"Okay, you just need to hold this guy back, and be careful." Ke Lan subconsciously wanted to pat Ze Luo's shoulder, but when his eyes fell on the round and delicate shoulders and the beautiful clavicle in front, his hand raised in the air suddenly froze again - this action is fine between brothers, but for a girl in a strapless dress, it doesn't seem to be suitable.
But just when Ke Lan was hesitating whether to take his hand back, the space around him was slightly distorted, forcibly wrapping and dragging his palm to Ze Luo's head and gently rubbing it.
Ze Luo's hair was very fine and smooth, revealing the slightly warm body temperature on top of her head... Although Ke Lan was a little surprised, he had to admit... it felt really good.
"Patting the head...where did you learn that?" The shackles of space finally disappeared, and Ke Lan quickly withdrew his hand.
"Slave Girl Xixi." Ze Luo said calmly.
How should I put it? Although this kind of contrasting cuteness with the expression of a three-no girl is indeed very lethal... Wait, what did this guy just say? Slave... Slave girl Xixwei? !
"You... where did you find this old-era... ahem, classic game?" Ke Lan looked at Ze Luo speechlessly and asked.
"On your private hard drive."
Oh, so you stole the resources from me, that's fine...
"If you touch your head too much, you will become bald." Ke Lan said seriously.
"I won't be bald." Ze Luo said, "I just like this feeling."
"Then you can control the stagnation of space. Next time, solidify the space above your head into the shape of a palm and touch yourself." Ke Lan said the first half of the sentence and lowered his voice slightly, "If you do this, others will think I'm a pervert."
“Do you care what other people think?”
"Of course, I don't want to die socially."
"Aren't the members of the Undead Crew the people with the highest level of power in human society? If someone has a problem with you, why not just make him disappear?"
"Zeluo, I remember I told you many times." Ke Lan suddenly said seriously. Unlike his previous hypocritical attitude, his whole body was tense at this moment, and his eyes were fixed on Ze Luo. "Do you still remember what you promised me? If you want me to integrate you into human society, then treat yourself as a human being and abide by the rules of human society... No one can arbitrarily deprive others of their lives."
"But," Ze Luo answered in the same serious tone, "the rules of human society are made for those without power. The more power one holds, the less binding the rules are on him... and you, you are the one who makes the rules, not the one who is shackled by the rules. Not only do the Undead Crew do this, but those in power throughout history have always done so."
"...Forget it, now is not the time to debate this with you." Ke Lan sighed, "Let's solve the current trouble first."
"Yeah." Ze Luo nodded, and the black dress on her body was immediately gathered, turning into a tight combat suit that fits her body curves perfectly. Her waist-length white hair suddenly turned into neat short hair that reaches her ears. A metal mask with hard edges and full of industrial mechanical style rose from the collar, covering her perfect and impeccable face.
"It's really enviable to have a built-in character editor..." Ke Lan glanced at Ze Luo's back with some envy, and suddenly a very interesting idea popped up in her mind: no matter whether it was the small dress just now or the tights that looked like an EVA driving suit, they were not real clothes, but part of Ze Luo's body... In other words, from a certain perspective, she was now like a model who went out on the street wearing a set of body-painted clothes, but was actually wearing nothing.
I just wonder what it would look like if this tight combat suit were worn by a young lady?
At this moment, one hundred and thirteen blocks away, in the office on the top floor of the Silver Building, Miss Soma sneezed again.
Ze Luo reached the edge of the rooftop in just two or three steps, looking down at the fusion body Plus moving in the middle of the street below. With his arms outstretched, he leaned forward and fell down in a free-falling posture.
The moment she fell, the fusion body sensed her presence, and hundreds of tentacles suddenly shot out and attacked Ze Luo in mid-air.
When these tentacles were nearly twenty meters away from Ze Luo, glands for spitting silk began to form one after another at the front end. The dense white spider silk was woven into a large net with a diameter of more than 100 meters, waiting for the falling girl to "fall into the trap".
Ke Lan had already experienced the strength and toughness of these spider silks when she was in the basement of the Nova Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention a "weak girl" weighing less than 50 kilograms, even Dio Brando pushing a 20-ton steamroller could not break through this big web.
But at the moment when Ze Luo fell into the big net, Ke Lan only heard a "swish" sound, and a huge hole appeared on the extremely strong net without any warning, and Ze Luo didn't even move a finger.
"No matter how tough the spider silk is, it can't withstand the broken space..." Ke Lan stared at the battlefield below. His time-stopping ability divided the changes that took place in just a few seconds into hundreds of frames. He could even see clearly the process of the liquid ejected from the gland condensing into spider silk in the air.
In the next frame, these spider silks as thick as little fingers intertwined together to form a dense web with meshes only the size of a fist, but in the next frame, the web was torn apart.
No, it should not be said to be torn, but cut - the cut of spider silk is smooth and flat, even laser cutting cannot have such flatness, and there is no trace of stress on the edge of the cross section, as if it was broken in the first place.
In a blink of an eye, Ze Luo had passed through the big net and landed lightly on the body of the fusion - when her feet touched the fusion, the latter suddenly became like a cat with its fur standing on end, with countless tentacles, limbs, and attack organs of various creatures rising up at the same time, rushing towards Ze Luo in an overwhelming manner.
But they all crashed into a barrier that was invisible to the naked eye. No matter how they hit, whipped, or bit... they could not break through this barrier.
"Just trap it here, right?" Ze Luo's voice sounded in Ke Lan's ears.
"Yes." Ke Lan nodded - even though there was nearly a hundred meters between them, and Ze Luo's eyes were not looking in Ke Lan's direction, but Ke Lan knew that she could see every slight movement of hers.
Ke Lan suddenly felt that even if she asked Ze Luo to kill this fusion, it should not be a difficult task for her... Although the ability of the fusion is terrifying, it can at least be explained by biological theories... and the existence of Ze Luo is enough to overturn the basic understanding of the world that countless scientists have spent thousands of years to establish.
When I read science fiction works in the past, there was a very classic joke, called "When in doubt, use quantum mechanics"... and Ze Luo's ability can probably only be explained by quantum mechanics.
However, even now, human beings’ research on quantum mechanics is still in its infancy...let alone traveling through time and space, they can’t even dismantle the space teleportation device left over from the Alpha civilization.
Ke Lan couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness... A civilization like human beings is probably just like an ant to "Him", right?
Although the Alpha civilization seems to be much stronger than humans, in the eyes of "Him", the gap between the two civilizations is probably that between a bug and a slightly larger bug... And this group of Alpha people actually tried to intervene in the war between gods. Ke Lan didn't know whether to laugh at their arrogance or admire their great ideals.
…
Ze Luo raised her hand, and an invisible cage trapped the fusion Plus inside - although Ze Luo's ability was awesome, it also had its limits, and this was already the limit of her range of influence. If the size of this fusion was as big as the one in the Abyss Hatchery , even she wouldn't be able to confine it.
Of course, he couldn't imprison it, but with Ze Luo's ability, he should be able to cut the big octopus into octopus sashimi...
Fusion Plus once again used its big dick-like... no, battering ram-like bone organ to violently hit the invisible cage again and again.
The frequency of the impacts became more and more frequent, and the force became more and more terrifying. In just thirty seconds, the impact frequency of the "battering ram" had increased to more than twenty times per second. The force of a single impact was enough to instantly collapse the department store under Ke Lan's feet.
But the invisible barrier did not move at all...it did not even give any feedback that could be captured by human sensory organs.
There was no sound, no vibration, no smoke, no cracks... none of that.
Only the inside of the battering ram continued to emit a teeth-grinding creaking sound, and the broken bone fragments and bone chips at the front end of the hammer fell down like snow.
Ke Lan suddenly wanted to give voice to both the fusion and Ze Luo:
"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola—"
“Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big—”
"Zeluo, how long will it take to break this space cage of yours?" Ke Lan asked.
"If it doesn't evolve in the direction of spatial ability, it will never be able to break out of this cage." Ze Luo replied, "But maintaining this spatial cage consumes a lot of my energy. I can only hold on for 72 hours at most."
"Seventy-two hours... is more than enough." Ke Lan then connected to the communication channel of the three-person team at the beginning and said to Aya, "How long will it take to complete the evacuation operation?"
"Twenty-five minutes. Give me another twenty-five minutes, and I can transport all these tens of thousands of people to a place ten kilometers away from this economic development zone."
"Okay, I'll give you another 25 minutes." Ke Lan didn't intend to give Aya and the others more time - the faster the problem was solved, the fewer variables would be generated in the process. Although Ze Luo could control the monster for a maximum of 72 hours, he didn't dare to guarantee whether the monster would really evolve spatial abilities in these 72 hours.
…
Twenty-five minutes later.
"Evacuation complete!" When Aya's voice sounded in the communication channel, Ke Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the Spark cruiser that had been on standby in the air for a long time.
"Zeluo, you can withdraw now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl flashed to Ke Lan's side, and the invisible barrier unfolded again, surrounding the two of them.
"Starfire, listen to my orders, lock on to the target, prepare--"
"fire!!"
