Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

(Continued from Extra 5)

A huge pit suddenly appeared in Chernobyl, and a mysterious force, so people secretly built a research institute, gathering the world's top scientists to study the mysterious force!

With the sudden disappearance of oil in the world, the research task became more urgent.

At this time, Zhang Hongwen from China and Angus Gale from Russia proposed a more reliable conjecture.

So an experiment was immediately designed, two white mice in similar conditions were placed in a pit of 500 meters and 1000 meters respectively using steel cables, and they were recovered and observed after an hour.

After the two white mice were recovered, people soon found that the white mice placed at 1000 meters had a significantly increased appetite and were not very stable.

Three days later, the white mice placed at 1000 meters were already a circle larger than the white mice at 500 meters, and their emotions were even more irritable.

Even the white mice placed at 15,000 meters turned into monsters not long after returning.

The mice below 15,000 meters were not recovered. For some reason, the steel cable was broken and the box containing the mice disappeared.

By studying the cut surface of the steel cable, we found that some of them seemed to be burned by high voltage current, some were burned by high temperature, and some were corroded.

At this time, everyone also roughly understood that the illusory ocean should be about 15,000 meters underground.

After many, multi-faceted experiments, it was proved that Zhang Hongwen and Angus Gale's conjecture was basically reasonable. The illusory ocean can make creatures stronger, but the current creatures can no longer withstand such a strong force.

Since there is a conjecture to explain the illusory ocean, the next step is how to further understand the ocean or how to use it.

The first thing people face is the problem of sampling. It is difficult to perform any operations at a location 15 kilometers underground, and it is obvious that all the materials currently known are difficult to collect the illusory water flow.

However, after everyone's discussion, a solution was soon found. At this time, China's "artificial sun" project has made certain progress. Scientists believe that the force field that controls nuclear fusion can be used to try to control the illusory water flow.

And you can wait for the "high tide" to collect! This will shorten the distance of collection.

This experiment began to proceed intensively. First of all, the huge power problem required by the force field must be solved, which cannot be maintained by a large diesel engine.

So after the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant were overhauled, the two reactors began to generate electricity again.

In fact, after the Chernobyl incident broke out, other reactors continued to work normally for a period of time, and some even worked for about 20 years.

It was not until Ukraine could no longer maintain the nuclear reactor that the nuclear power plant completely stopped generating electricity.

At this time, adding nuclear fuel again and letting the reactor work has huge safety risks, but there is no better way than this.

So with compact preparations, it took only about ten days to complete all the preparations for sampling.

At the moment of another "high tide", the instrument that generates the force field at a location 3 kilometers underground immediately started working, but soon, the instrument lost contact.

After more than ten minutes, the signal between the control room and the instrument was reconnected.

Because there was no time to build the relevant trigger device, it is not clear whether the sampling was successful.

The subsequent operations were handed over to the intelligent computer, because according to previous news, people cannot look directly at the illusory water flow.

The force field needs to be maintained with a large amount of electricity. Under the control of the intelligent computer, the extremely large force field device was sent to a specially vacant laboratory using the pre-laid track, and after the metal door was closed, a closed space was formed.

Soon, according to the computer analysis, there was a liquid-like structure in the force field.

The whole institute cheered, and the sampling was successful!

Subsequent research was carried out intensively. The first study was the weight and density of the sample, the basic structure, etc.

Surprisingly, the weight of the sample was very unstable. Sometimes the weight was 0, and more often the weight was constantly changing, ranging from 1 gram to 326 grams.

People exclaimed: These are some wonderful materials!

…

Russia, the Second Baku Oilfield.

After the oil deposits disappeared, the oil workers here left one after another.

For more than half a month, there were only a few gatekeepers left in the vast oil field area.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a huge sound came from underground, as if something huge was about to break out of the ground.

Several gatekeepers in the oil field area came out of the rooms in their respective areas to find the source of the sound.

Among them, the gatekeeper Lao Jiali saw the oil pump not far from him trembling, as if there was a distance that was about to push it forward.

Lao Jiali carefully checked from a distance and called his boss to report the situation here.

Bang~

At the moment of dialing the phone, a stream of black liquid came out near the oil pump!

"Oh my God!" Lao Jiali exclaimed: "That's oil! It just sprayed out like this!"

But soon he found something wrong. The oil was getting bigger and bigger, and it actually formed a huge fountain!

And there was something wrong with the oil. There were some objects flashing with strange light in the black liquid.

Old Jiali sensed a huge danger and turned around to run, but he was soon caught up.

The oil wrapped him like a living thing. Amid the screams of Old Jiali, he turned into a black liquid and continued to flow forward with the oil.

...

An hour later, the Chernobyl Institute learned about what happened in the Second Baku Oil Field.

Five hours later, the samples of the sprayed oil and the samples of the objects with strange light were sent to the Chernobyl Institute.

Along with these samples, there was also a preliminary investigation report.

According to witnesses, at the beginning, the oil seemed to have life and would kill living things. All the creatures wrapped in the oil also turned into black oil.

But after about a minute on the ground, the oil had no "life".

As for those objects with strange light, they were more terrifying than radioactive objects.

Although no radiation or harmful substances can be detected from them, if you are within ten meters of them, your emotions will be significantly affected. If you are within one meter of them, it will only take three seconds to go crazy and turn into a twisted monster!

So when collecting them, a mechanical arm more than ten meters long was used to put them into a box, and in the subsequent transportation, the personnel kept a distance of more than ten meters from the box.

This sudden incident completely disrupted the research plan of the institute. All researchers knew very well that this meant that the underground virtual ocean had begun to overflow on the ground in small quantities, and many people must have been affected.

So more scholars and scientists were invited here, and some routine experiments were skipped and live experiments were started directly.

The mice were used to contact the sprayed oil, the substances with strange light, and the samples collected from the virtual ocean.

Because the mice would definitely turn into monsters, the experiment was conducted in a closed space with a steel structure. There were offensive weapons in the laboratory, and an observation window made of bulletproof glass was left for easy observation.

After several rounds of experiments, it has been confirmed that the sprayed oil no longer has too many harmful substances, and the mice did not have too severe adverse reactions after contact with it.

Further experiments were soon carried out with war refugees, further proving that these oils no longer have strange destructive properties after coming to the surface for a period of time.

However, those substances with strange light still make the mice crazy and become monsters that have lost their minds.

Further experiments with war refugees also proved this point, and the monsters turned by these refugees have some wonderful abilities, some of which can make their bodies emit light, and some can create lightning out of thin air.

Fortunately, the experimental site is strong enough, and these lights and lightning failed to break through the obstruction of the steel frame structure, and were burned to ashes by the electromagnetic weapons prepared inside.

After many rounds of experiments, researchers can even determine that those things with strange light can make the experimental body have the ability to emit sunlight, and those can make the experimental body have the ability to have lightning.

As more strange substances gushing from the ground are sent here, experiments continue to be used to determine some of their abilities.

The experiments on those illusory water flows were the most thrilling. When the white mice came into contact with the glowing substances, they would at most turn into monsters that were one circle larger than their own bodies.

But when they came into contact with these illusory water flows, they could instantly turn into monsters as long as an adult's arm and with strong attack power.

No one dared to conduct further experiments, fearing that they would create uncontrollable monsters.

With the continuous development of experiments, there was finally a means to detect these strange forces. Only by monitoring the activities of microscopic particles could the existence of this force be monitored.

In the monitoring equipment, it can be seen that the substances emitting strange light formed a small twisted vortex, and the collected illusory water flow was a huge twisted vortex.

But the experiment had to continue, because their ultimate goal was to use these strange substances.

…

Late at night, Angus Gale had just finished a video conference. According to official information from Russia, there have been many incidents of monster attacks in the country, and the situation has become more and more urgent. The research institute must achieve results as soon as possible.

Holding the "Research on Re-production of Oil from Dry Oil Fields" and other materials, he left the conference room a little tiredly. He had seen too many human experiments in the past two days and was exhausted physically and mentally.

At the end of the corridor was a huge glass stand. Angus Gale saw Zhang Hongwen standing alone on the stand looking down.

He walked quickly to Zhang Hongwen: "It is not a good idea to continue human experiments."

Zhang Hongwen said "um": "Everyone knows this."

His eyes were fixed on the deep pit: "Do you feel it? There seems to be a sound underground."

Angus Gale nodded: "Many people have mentioned this. In dreams, unintentionally, there seems to be a sound underground that wants to communicate with us."

"Maybe, we still lack a channel." Zhang Hongwen retracted his gaze.

Angus Gale immediately said: "Friend, I know what you want to do, but it's useless. You will become a madman in an instant."

Zhang Hongwen shook his head: "In the past few days, I have been carefully studying the reactions of those who were mentally affected, and I found that their incoherent words at the beginning were not meaningless.

"It's just that they are limited by their own knowledge and don't understand what they are experiencing, so they seem incoherent."

He looked at the Russian friend in front of him first: "Actually, many people have thought of this, right?"

Angus Gale took a deep breath: "But no one is willing to say it."

"It seems like the higher-ups don't care about human testing at all."

"Brother, I know you have always opposed human experiments." Angus Gale suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "But...but...well, most people know that human experiments are meaningless."

Zhang Hongwen took off his glasses and said, "No, you don't understand. If you have the chance, I will ask you to go to the Northeast to visit the exhibition hall of the evidence of the Japanese invaders.

"We are different from you. We still remember that painful history."

He wiped his glasses and put them on again: "In my opinion, it is a little more noble for me to be a guinea pig voluntarily than to let others be a guinea pig."

Angus Gale's eyes were red and he held Zhang Hongwen's arm: "Friend, you... maybe, maybe we can also teach those refugees some theoretical knowledge..."

"There is no time." Zhang Hongwen said with a smile: "In this unknown disaster, we are too weak, and if we want to know the truth, we must pay some price.

"If we don't give it a try, how can we know whether we haven't gotten much useful information because of our limited knowledge and knowledge."

He paused and then said seriously: "This may be our last chance."

Angus Gale was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhang Hongwen's experiment was immediately approved, which also made everyone realize how serious the situation had become.

After receiving many awards and commendations, Zhang Hongwen was sent to the laboratory. He chose to directly contact the illusory water flow taken from the ground.

However, the contact distance is determined by himself, so there are microphones for communication inside and outside the laboratory.

The illusory water flow was still under the control of the force field and was approaching the laboratory using the track. When it was thirty meters away, with several layers of thick steel plates still between it, Zhang Hongwen said that he had heard some strange murmurs. .

When he was twenty meters away, Zhang Hongwen's mood became obviously a little more irritable. He seemed very angry. Why could he still not hear the babble clearly?

As the illusory water flow came to the laboratory where he was, he suddenly said: "Stop."

At this time, Zhang Hongwen already looked a little abnormal. Every time he made a move, his hair fell down layer by layer. His skin turned gray and white for a while, and his eyes were bloodshot and red.

"It comes from the distant past." Zhang Hongwen said with pain on his face: "It is very, very far away. It existed before the formation of the universe!"

The director of the institute immediately asked: "What exactly is it? What is its purpose?"

Zhang Hongwen didn't seem to hear the director's question, but continued: "It doesn't seem to like me very much.

"It gave me so much information that I can only describe the useful parts!"

This is the difference between him and other experimental subjects, he knows what information may be useful.

Angus Gale took the microphone from the director: "Old Zhang, just tell us whatever it 'says'."

"It prefers people wearing crosses." Zhang Hongwen's blood-red eyes were somewhat blurred. While his hair was falling out, his skin also began to fall off piece by piece: "What we are grabbing is not that illusory ocean.

"That illusory ocean is indivisible. This is just some oil that has undergone qualitative changes because of the illusory ocean.

"This is a substance that we have never discovered before. It is between reality and illusion. There are six such substances on the earth. Only this illusory ocean has an entrance in the real world.

"The properties of illusory water flows are different from those of matter with light. These illusory water flows are difficult to tame with human will, but those materials with light can be used relatively easily by humans.

"But this road must be very tortuous. We have to make many attempts and make many sacrifices."

Zhang Hongwen's flesh and blood was now distorted, making him tall and thin, looking more like a monster than a human.

He continued with a hoarse voice: "A great being is about to awaken. I see that mankind still has some hope. Yes, as long as we do not perish, there is still hope.

"It, it said, it doesn't like the robes on me, it prefers you who wear crosses.

"The only, the only, no, not the only hope, the hope to control that illusory ocean, is at the bottom of the pit.

“We can do it, yes, we can do it.

"Haha, what a wonderful ocean...an ocean..."

Zhang Hongwen suddenly looked outside the laboratory. At this time, all his skin had fallen off, his body was blood red, his muscles were squirming, he was three meters tall, and his eyes were more like those of a beast.

The moment they saw these eyes, everyone was stunned, their eyes were blank, as if they didn't know why they were here.

Suddenly, the scientist closest to the laboratory door seemed to have received some kind of order, and pressed the button with blurred eyes, and the laboratory door was opened.

"Zhang Hongwen" immediately came out of the door, raised his hand slightly, and the observation room was filled with dark clouds.

Crack~

Several thunders sounded, and six people were killed on the spot, and many people were paralyzed by the lightning.

The remaining people woke up as if from a dream, and they all shouted and fled outside, but they were blocked at the door for a while.

"Zhang Hongwen" opened his arms, as if embracing the sun.

The scorching sun appeared above the door, and a scorching sun was about to shine into the crowd, burning most of them to death.

"Old Zhang!" Angus Gale, who was numb from the lightning just now, shouted while struggling to get up.

Zhang Hongwen was suddenly stunned, and the sunlight above everyone's head gradually disappeared.

The whole world seemed to be quiet for a second or two. At this time, Zhang Hongwen suddenly rushed to the door, and several researchers who were unable to dodge were knocked out.

Angus Gale struggled to catch up, and when he came to the corridor, he saw Zhang Hongwen smashing the glass of the stand and then jumping onto the windowsill.

He turned around, smiled at Angus Gale, then jumped and jumped down.

Angus Gale cried out: "Old Zhang!"

The director limped over and said: "Zhang Hongwen is very brave, but our research has to continue. Who will be the next one..."

Boom~

At this time, the institute suddenly shook, and everyone looked at the lights above their heads, and they had a bad premonition for a while.

More than half a minute later, the company commander in charge of maintaining order came over and said: "Retreat quickly, Reactor No. 1 exploded violently!"

These equipment from more than half a century ago finally couldn't bear the burden and had serious malfunctions.

The first thing that Angus Gale and others thought of was not to escape, but to look at the device carrying the illusory water flow.

Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~~Buzz~

The force field stopped working, and the metal wall outside the force field suddenly turned black and liquefied at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Angus Gale turned his head away quickly, he knew he couldn't look directly at the illusory water flow.

The company commander realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately ran to the button with a glass cover not far away, broke the glass with a punch, and then pressed the button hard.

The urgent alarm sounded immediately. At this moment, all the exits of the institute were automatically closed. After receiving the corresponding notification, an engineering company outside would completely block all exits with concrete.

In order to prevent the monsters in the institute from escaping to the outside world, this was an emergency plan determined a long time ago.

At this time, the illusory water flow had successfully "escaped" from the container. For a while, some people turned into a pool of oil, and some people turned into monsters similar to Zhang Hongwen.

More people were running for their lives in a panic.

Angus Gale followed the director and others to the emergency shelter of the institute.

There is even a nuclear protection function here, which temporarily blocked the monsters.

And the monsters are obviously limited in wisdom and are chasing the researchers who failed to escape here, so it is still safe here.

After the director reported the experimental results and current situation here to Moscow through the emergency communication system, he took out a pistol and committed suicide.

Despair filled the crowd. Everyone knew that they could not get out.

Angus Gale had been sitting in the corner, not talking, not drinking water, and not eating.

About a day or two later, he said with bloodshot eyes: "You must wear a cross and have enough determination to make use of that illusory ocean."

An Englishman next to him said: "It's useless, there is no hope, we have no hope."

"Yes!" Angus Gale said firmly: "Zhang Hongwen has found hope for us!"

He glanced at the British man and saw that the other party's eyes were full of despair. He looked down and saw that the British man was writing some messy words in his notebook:

"What happened? The doctor turned into a pool of black oil in front of me!

The outside blocked this institute... No one can leave, no one can leave...

Only we are normal, but our food is running out.

I seem to have auditory hallucinations. There seems to be a voice coming from the ground. It is calling me, He is calling me ..."

Angus Gale suddenly smiled, struggled to get up, and walked out while saying: "It's actually very simple. It's a substance that makes humans stronger, but the price is that they will become crazy.

"It is different from all the elements we have discovered so far. It doesn't even have substance, and it's not even in the real world..."

As he spoke, he opened the door of the shelter.

No one stopped him, but when he went out, someone quickly closed the door again.

Angus Gale saw that the emergency lights outside were still on, but it was a mess, with clumps of oil on the ground and on the walls.

It seemed that all the monsters before had finally turned into oil.

Angus Gale walked forward while continuing: "In the future, we will definitely be able to control this power, yes, we will definitely be able to..."

Although there were no listeners, he continued: "But before that, we must be determined enough! We must believe that we can do it. "

As he was talking, he came to the glass stand.

Huh~

Without the glass blocking the way, the wind from the deep pit blew up, making him feel unprecedentedly cold.

Angus Gale stretched his upper body and looked down. The deep pit was dark and he couldn't see the bottom.

He slowly climbed up the windowsill: "Old Zhang, I have the same determination as you do!"

After saying that, Angus Gale jumped down. He knew that this jump would most likely lead to his death, but his eyes were firm, and Zhang Hongwen's smile when he jumped into the deep pit seemed to flash before his eyes again.

Boom~

At this moment, the surroundings shook violently.

Angus Gale saw that the deep pit had collapsed on a large scale, and the research institute also collapsed in two halves, and one part fell into the ground with him.

The illusory ocean expanded at this time, more violently than any previous expansion!

Angus Gale saw that there seemed to be an infinite variety of colors in the infinite ocean: "What a beautiful ocean..."

He fell into it silently and lost consciousness.

Time seemed to become eternal, and Angus Gale had a very long dream that the world outside was destroyed beyond recognition by a sudden extraordinary force.

But humans really survived, and they underwent serious mutations. Some became vampires, some became elves, some became werewolves, and some became giants.

One day, he finally woke up.

In the void, he looked at his hands and understood many things in an instant.

Next to Angus Gale, there was an ancient stone slab with 22 potion formulas on it.

He realized that as long as these formulas were spread more widely, humans would be able to better control the extraordinary.

So he took the stone slab and turned into a stream of light, returning to the location of the laboratory from underground.

This place had already become a ruin. After a little nostalgia, he used the method of stealing space to pass through the thick concrete wall and come to the outside world.

It was pitch black outside, and he wanted to see what changes had happened outside.

So he said, "Let there be light!"
