Volume 5: Bottomless Sinkhole Chapter 253: Chaos
"I'm your father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Lan appeared in front of Dana as if he had "teleported"!
Just now, Ke Lan discovered that the ability to stop time can actually be used in this dream. Moreover, when everything around him is frozen, he can move freely in this stagnant time without any shackles!
Is it because this is a dream, so the laws of the real world can be changed according to one's will? Doesn't that mean that as long as one's imagination is big enough and one's will is strong enough, one can completely control this dream world?
This problem can be studied in detail later, but now, at least we have to deal with the current trouble.
Ke Lan took a few steps back, took a running start, accelerated, and then leaped forward—
When time stopped, from Dana's perspective, Ke Lan seemed to have teleported to his face from ten meters away.
With the help of this momentum, Ke Lan kneed Dana in the chin. The other party even kept that weird smile on his face, but the next second, his upper and lower jaws collided heavily under the action of external force, and broken teeth mixed with saliva and blood splashed out.
Even the bright red tongue that did not have time to retract was bitten off by his own teeth with a "crack" and fell to the ground.
Under the effect of conditioned reflex, the half-broken letter twitched and jumped wildly on the ground, and the blood spurting from the broken end splattered everywhere.
Dana's entire face was distorted, with broken wounds extending from his cheeks to his ears, a perfect illustration of what it looked like to have one's skin torn apart... As for his jaw, which had been directly attacked, it was completely shattered, with even white bones visible between the torn flesh.
"Ah...ah..." A painful scream came from Dana's throat, and he fumbled around in the gear belt around his waist. He was probably looking for a strong painkiller like morphine injection, but the severe pain had made him lose the ability to distinguish the type of medicine. As soon as his fingers touched a syringe, he grabbed it and stabbed it into his leg.
That was not a painkiller, but a syringe filled with "LCL liquid". In this tube of orange-yellow transparent liquid, a small handful of deep red biological tissue was suspended.
"Living cells of flesh-eating worms? Or seeds of erosion?... No, neither of them..." Ke Lan watched helplessly as the contents of the syringe were pushed into Dana's body. Then, countless tiny granulations began to emerge from his body...
"It's the 'Meat-grown Alien Seedling'..." Seeing the changes in the other party's body, Ke Lan immediately realized that this was a biological weapon recorded on the Tiankeng stone tablet . This biological weapon has the characteristics of animals, plants and fungi at the same time. It can use the host's body as a breeding ground and grow rapidly... However, at the end of the stone tablet, it was clearly marked that "the genetic sequence of this experimental subject has serious defects. After the third stage of the larvae, all cells will quickly die."
As expected, when the mycelium spitted out from the top of the granulation tissue and wrapped Dana's entire body, the white mycelium quickly turned dark black, and the granulation tissue began to wither...
But as a breeding ground for the "flesh-grown alien seedlings", Dana did not die - although all his flesh and blood were eaten away by the parasite , the parasite also gave the host a more tenacious vitality... But in Ke Lan's view, this is not a "gift" at all. It will only allow him to survive for a while longer, and as a price, he will endure tremendous pain that ordinary people can hardly imagine during this period before his death.
But before Ke Lan could end Dana's suffering with his own hands, he had already turned into a black skeleton and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Black skeleton..." Ke Lan rubbed his temple with a headache, "It never ends..."
At this moment, a scene that surprised Ke Lan appeared: the black skeleton had just stood up, and it actually collapsed on its own. The fragments scattered on the ground seemed to be sucked together by a magnet, and turned back into the faceless puppet in white clothes and white pants at the beginning.
Ke Lan just thought about this scene in his mind, but he didn't expect that it would be directly reflected in the dream world.
"Could it be that the control of this dream world...has always been in my hands?"
But if that's the case, why don't Hound and the others exist in this world? Since this dream world is built based on my own memories, then as teammates who have been through life and death together, why have all the contents related to them been erased?
This isn't a computer program, so you can't say there's a bug, right?
Ke Lan stared at the faceless puppet in front of him, imagining it turning into a hound or one of his other teammates... However, no matter how many times he tried, the puppet never changed at all.
Ke Lan tried to imagine other people, and suddenly, Sakurai Na appeared in front of him with a look of astonishment on her face, still holding the small pistol with the magazine removed in her hand.
"Shit! Is there really a bug?"
Sakurai Na disappeared, and the faceless doll returned to its original position again.
Ke Lan clearly remembered their existence, but she couldn't make them appear in her dream world - even if the Hounds had never existed in the real world, why couldn't Ke Lan create a virtual character based on the image in her memory?
Why can everyone else do it but they can't?
Ke Lan felt that if he continued to delve deeper into this issue, he would probably not get an answer... After all, this was just a dream, and the most urgent thing was how to wake up from this dream.
He didn't know where he was in reality - maybe in a ward, maybe still lying in the cabin of a rescue ship, maybe... he was still in this bottomless cemetery...
But no matter where he is, he must wake up as soon as possible!
At first, Ke Lan thought that if he completely destroyed this dream world, he might be able to escape from it. However, after he razed several majestic mountains to the ground and blew up most of the Ark, he realized that it was completely useless - this was a dream world, and things could not be viewed by the conventional laws of physics. The flattened mountains and destroyed buildings, he could immediately appear there intact as long as he changed his mind.
This is like a virtual world constructed by a computer program. Everything he sees is essentially a bunch of zeros and ones. He destroys these things simply by deleting the data. The most direct way to destroy this virtual world is to take a hammer and smash the hard drive that stores the data from the outside!
