Volume 16 Tower of Babel Chapter 803 Devouring Memory
The only way to pass this level is to destroy these "infinitely resurrected" corpses.
Ke Lan thought of a solution, but it was just a flash of inspiration in his mind. Whether it would work or not, he would have to try it to know.
He raised his right arm, and with a thought, a layer of blood-red armor suddenly attached to it - the real living armor had been stripped from his body and destroyed when he fought against the god of war Alexander. The layer of blood-red armor that appeared now was actually a "counterfeit" simulated by Ke Lan using the "controllable mutation" ability he gained after the degree of erosion increased.
But even though it is a counterfeit, this high-quality imitation living armor has the same abilities as the original living armor - except that there is no other consciousness hidden in it, it can restore all the abilities of the living armor.
Including "swallow".
After seeing the blood-colored armor emerging on Ke Lan's arm, Thirty-three was obviously a little surprised: "This is... living armor?! Didn't you say that the living armor was destroyed after the battle of Alexander? How did it recover again?"
"We can discuss this issue later when we have time." Ke Lan transformed the living armor on his right arm into a giant claw with a grip diameter of more than one meter, and walked step by step towards the group of "zombies" blocked by the space barrier. "I'll try to see if I can use the 'devouring' ability of the living armor to 'eat' all these unkillable monsters."
"Zeluo, give me a way." Ke Lan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, an entrance and exit that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared in the originally airtight space barrier, and the "zombie" that happened to be at this entrance immediately rushed in.
But just as it struggled to raise its head and wanted to continue rushing forward, it saw a huge bloody claw blocking its entire view in front of it.
The next second, the bloody claw had grabbed the zombie's head, and the five sharp claws directly pierced its upper body.
Ke Lan only recalled the feeling of the living armor devouring the seeds of corrosion in his memory, and the blood-red claws that pierced into the zombie's body began to frantically absorb the opponent's flesh and blood...
"Flesh and blood alone are not enough...even bones cannot be left behind..." Ke Lan thought to himself. He couldn't help but think of the scene where the fusion body "eats people" in the headquarters building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce - just thinking about it, the surface of the bloody claws began to secrete a highly corrosive "digestive fluid", which directly dissolved the bones in the zombie body into a pus-like liquid that can be absorbed.
A "corpse" that was 1.75 meters tall and weighed at least 50 kilograms, although it had lost most of its water. It was completely absorbed by the bloody claws in just a moment, without even a trace of residue left.
Faintly, Ke Lan felt as if there was something extra in his head, like some extremely tiny fragments of memory... But when he wanted to concentrate his attention to grasp these tiny fragments of memory , these fragments of memory sank directly into the depths of his consciousness.
It was like a few drops of water falling into the sea. Ke Lan had no way of finding these extremely fragmented memory fragments again from his complicated memory... unless he could piece these memory fragments together into a complete picture.
“Eating” a zombie can give you a tiny bit of memory fragment... What if you “eat” thousands of zombies?
Could it be that the real purpose of this trial is to allow oneself to inherit the memories "stored" in the brains of these corpses?
While Ke Lan was still pondering the reasons, the group of zombies outside the space barrier on the other side didn't care about that - after they found a hole in the space barrier, they all rushed in through the hole.
It was like a breach in a dam.
Of course, if you want to describe this scene as "the cafeteria corridor at lunch time", that's fine too...
However, this group of zombies thought they were predators and the three people hiding in the space barrier were prey... Little did they know that the relationship between the two sides had completely reversed at this time.
They are the "food".
The blood-red claws gathered together and suddenly extended, turning into a blood-red spear that was more than ten meters long. Ke Lan used his waist and back as a lever to lift the spear up and blocked the only entrance and exit of the space barrier with the tip of the spear.
This group of zombies are not afraid of pain and death at all. Even if the sharp tips of guns are against their bodies, they will charge forward fearlessly and let the guns pierce their bodies.
After a while, more than a dozen zombies were strung on Ke Lan's spear like candied haws. These zombies waved their arms frantically, pushing their bodies forward, completely ignoring the fact that the spiral gun barrel was crushing the flesh and blood on their wounds into pieces.
But no zombie could reach the end of the spear and touch Ke Lan - they were like wax figures strung on a red-hot steel rod, melting as they moved... By the time they reached Ke Lan, nothing was left.
The only difference is that the pus produced after these zombies melt will not drip on the ground like wax, but will be completely absorbed by the spears.
These zombies were just like the first one that was devoured by the bloody claws. Each of them provided Ke Lan with some memory fragments. These memory fragments gradually connected together and emerged from the depths of his mind.
In a trance, Ke Lan seemed to see a tattered spaceship, sailing forward by inertia in the dark and lightless universe...
Perhaps to save energy, the lighting equipment on the spacecraft was turned off and all the portholes were pitch black. If it weren't for the several adjusting nozzles that would occasionally spray out compressed gas to fine-tune the angle of the spacecraft and avoid meteorites, Ke Lan would even suspect that this was a deserted ship with no living people.
Space junk like this used to be ubiquitous in the Earth's low-Earth orbit. In the later stages of the "Energy War", because the Earth's environment was severely damaged by the war, several major ZZ entities (anti-harmony, using acronyms, everyone should understand.) were forced to sign the extremely famous "Antarctic Treaty" in Antarctica in the history of the Earth. The two most important contents of the treaty were to transfer the main battlefield between these major ZZ entities from the surface of the Earth to space .
(Another provision is a total ban on the use of strategic nuclear weapons on Earth.)
