Chapter 100: Method To Enter The Crimson Vortex And Bai Yuekui
The Gravity Body quickly loaded the energy detection program. Hong Kou activated the program and looked toward Meng Huaifeng, only to see that the light on Meng Huaifeng’s body was about to envelop his entire person.
Looking at the others again, they were all glowing like light bulbs, except when looking at Po Xiao, where there was only faint light.
“You can shield the detection of us, otherwise people can’t see clearly. To make it easier for you to observe the Devouring Beast’s weaknesses, the light changes in energy within a certain range are the most obvious, but we all exceed this range, so you see us as about the same.” Meng Huaifeng said.
Star jumped onto the roof and looked around left and right, soon dragging back a Devouring Beast.
“Try it quickly, March, thaw it out.” Star said.
Hong Kou looked at the frozen Devouring Beast; the energy light was extremely faint, clearly silenced by March 7th’s Six Phases Ice.
After March 7th thawed it, the energy light brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hong Kou drew her sword and slashed at the most prominent bright spot on the Devouring Beast’s body. The Devouring Beast twitched a few times and then stopped moving; the energy light gradually extinguished and dispersed into the air, with no sign of the Devouring Beast reviving.
She had actually really killed a Devouring Beast. Hong Kou felt a mix of emotions.
The nightmare of countless people in the Beacon had just been broken.
Hong Kou opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing; others had already helped the Beacon enough, and she couldn’t be greedy.
Besides, she had already been exiled by the Beacon, so what identity did she have to speak up?
Huai Feng had already sent the Devouring Beast’s weakness to the Beacon yesterday; she only hoped that the Beacon’s Research Institute would put in some effort this time and quickly research a method to detect the Devouring Beast’s weakness.
City Lord Morgan’s vision was too shortsighted.
This world had undergone drastic crustal changes; many pre-Cataclysm roads were already severed and impassable, which was also why Star kept flipping over yesterday.
This time heading to Jiuchuan City where the Mana Flower King was located, the journey was too far, so the Pioneer Squad gave up driving and chose to fly a plane instead.
A mere plane, Welt could easily create one, almost like a god.
Nearly two hours later, the Pioneer Squad arrived at pre-Cataclysm Jiuchuan City.
Jiuchuan City was the starting point and source of the Cataclysm, the testing ground for the immortality experiment, and also the first place where Mantle Vine, Mana Flower, and Devouring Beast appeared.
From the ruins of buildings and scattered robot wreckage, it could be seen that this city’s technology pre-Cataclysm was already extremely advanced, having entered a highly intelligent lifestyle.
The Pioneer Squad stopped far away, looking at the huge Mana Flower in the City Center.
“This distance is enough; better not to get too close. If we alert the Mana Flower King and it awakens all the dormant Devouring Beasts, it would be troublesome.” Meng Huaifeng said.
Meng Huaifeng sat on a balcony with his legs dangling, his mobile phone floating between his legs, projecting a virtual screen and keyboard.
“Then I’ll study that plucked petal too, Welt, trouble you.” Himeko said to Welt.
Welt cleared out a room; Himeko took out several pieces of equipment from Ticket Space and began research experiments.
“So boring, what should we do?” March 7th asked.
“Let’s go play with the dormant Devouring Beasts.” Star suggested.
Dormant Devouring Beasts had extremely faint energy fluctuations, but Star could still find them deliberately.
Star dragged the Devouring Beasts one by one from the corners; the dragged-out Devouring Beasts were all dazed, not knowing what had happened.
March 7th sealed the surrounding aura to avoid attracting too many Devouring Beasts, which would be troublesome.
Zhu Zhuqing’s agile figure flickered constantly among the Devouring Beasts, occasionally poking their vital points.
Hong Kou and Po Xiao’s mouths twitched; in their eyes, Devouring Beasts were almost like toys.
“Hong Kou sis, Po Xiao, do you want to play with them?” Star enthusiastically called out to the two.
Hong Kou and Po Xiao exchanged a glance and jumped into the Devouring Beasts.
“Yes!”
Just treat it as improving combat experience.
……
Survivor Settlement, Dragon Bone Village.
Bai Yuekui, the actual controller of Dragon Bone Village, a genius scientist, and success of the immortality experiment; decades later, her appearance still looked like her twenties.
As the beneficiary of the immortality experiment that caused the great Cataclysm, Bai Yuekui knew the source of the Apocalypse very well, but limited by ability, she couldn’t solve it and could only try her best to gather survivors while constantly seeking methods to resolve the Mana Ecology.
Jiuchuan City was both the source of the Apocalypse and Bai Yuekui’s hometown, so it had always been under her strict surveillance.
After leading the Dragon Bone Village villagers through training exercises, Bai Yuekui returned to the laboratory and habitually checked the surveillance of Jiuchuan City.
Just as she was about to do the next thing, Bai Yuekui suddenly turned back to look at the surveillance, walked over, and kept zooming in on one spot.
Someone!
Bai Yuekui’s pupils contracted.
From a known other settlement?
No, impossible; other settlements had limited abilities, active at most near their settlements, impossible to reach such a distant high-risk area.
For ordinary survivors, staying alive was good enough; there was no need to risk danger going to Jiuchuan City.
Maybe they had already realized part of the truth.
Regardless, as part of the Community of Shared Future for mankind, save them if possible.
Bai Yuekui quickly left the room.
“Huh, Boss Bai, where are you going?” Seeing fully armed Bai Yuekui, the burly Shan Da asked.
“Save people.” Bai Yuekui said concisely.
“Ah, I’ll call everyone to assemble.” Shan Da hurriedly said.
“No need, I’ll go alone this time.” Bai Yuekui mounted her motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and left Dragon Bone Village.
Dragon Bone Village wasn’t too far from Jiuchuan City, and the motorcycle was much faster than an armored vehicle.
Looking at their combat situation, they didn’t seem like ordinary people; hoped she made it in time.
……
“Disguising the Mana Flower to send fake messages to Crimson Vortex Space to lure out Crimson Vortex isn’t hard, but this method can only be used once; if it doesn’t solve it, it might not work next time.”
“Sigh, time is too short; Teacher Silver Wolf taught me Quantum Warp Jump Technology less than ten days ago, I’m not proficient with positioning coordinates yet; warping within one space is fine, but from one space to another, I’m not confident.”
“Then rewrite the entry conditions for Crimson Vortex; this method is easiest, just need to familiarize more with the information encoding of Mana Flower and Crimson Vortex; with my current technology, it’s not hard.”
“However, if I lure out Crimson Vortex but Devouring Beasts don’t submit enough Life Essence, will Crimson Vortex disappear early? Very possible; can’t really let Devouring Beasts gather enough Life Essence to submit, that would cost lives.”
“To be safe, need to improve; faster compilation and rewriting speed is better, succeed before Crimson Vortex closes, aim for foolproof. Hmm, Quantum Warp Jump Technology also needs to advance in parallel; warping between two spaces when Crimson Vortex appears will be much easier, and if Crimson Vortex detects something wrong and closes immediately, can try using Quantum Warp Jump to enter.”
“If all else fails, spend more time; even without Crimson Vortex, can force entry into Crimson Vortex Space with Quantum Warp Jump. Maybe Himeko sis has a way to find Crimson Vortex Space too; no, she definitely can, she’s giving us young people a training opportunity.”
Meng Huaifeng tapped the keyboard while constantly muttering to himself.
The methods were basically set; next, just spend a little time preparing.
Star had played enough with the Devouring Beasts and was now rummaging through various ruins for usable things.
She experienced the fun of scavenging again.
One ruin after another, just like trash cans.
Before rummaging, you never know what interesting things are buried inside.
Occasionally even flip out a dormant Devouring Beast, so thrilling!
“This should be a game cartridge from this world, right?”
“Huh, safe, lots of gold bars!”
“Hmm, barbell, too light, toss it.”
“Unopened doll! Not as good as Herta.”
“…”
March 7th looked at the increasingly dirty Star and sighed; if she wants to rummage, let her, better than rummaging trash cans.
“Someone’s coming.” March 7th’s ears twitched, looking in the direction of the sound.
She saw a girl with short white hair, wearing a white fur coat, high-waisted hot pants, and a Tang Saber at her waist, riding a motorcycle toward them.
“Who are you?” March 7th asked curiously.
Didn’t expect this world still had people daring to walk alone in dangerous wilderness.
Sensing the energy fluctuations from her, not strong, but most Devouring Beasts probably weren’t her opponents.
Thought this world was all ordinary people; turns out the Beacon was just too weak.
“I am Bai Yuekui; who are you, why come here?”
Bai Yuekui’s long beautiful legs steadied the motorcycle as she asked.
Before she came, they were clearly fighting Devouring Beasts, yet no Devouring Beast tide; similar to Origin Return method?
Meng Huaifeng on the nearby balcony was slightly stunned, then instantly disappeared; Star who was scavenging also vanished, and the next moment both appeared before Bai Yuekui.
“Since you sincerely ask.” Meng Huaifeng took out a rose and sniffed it lightly.
“Then we shall mercifully tell you.” Star’s little face was smudged with dirt.
“To prevent world destruction.”
“To protect world peace.”
“Carrying the love and true justice.”
“The cute and charming righteous character.”
“Star.”
“Meng Huaifeng.”
“We are the Nameless traveling through the galaxy.”
“White hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!”
“Meow, that’s it.” Zhu Zhuqing slipped out from between them and waved.
March 7th covered her face; so embarrassing, good thing Zhu Qing was there, otherwise she’d be one of them.
“A Xing, what happened to you, so dirty? Totally ruining our image!” Meng Huaifeng disgustedly pushed Star away.
“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Star’s Pioneer Power shook, and the dirt on her disappeared.
“No, do it again, I wasn’t ready just now!” Star said unwillingly; she wanted to salvage her image in front of Bai Yuekui!
“I wasn’t ready either; this is Aha’s passive effect. No, I need a way to shield the passive effect too.” Meng Huaifeng frowned slightly.
He thought of a certain Sea Patrol Ranger, whose swear words were always converted to elegant vocabulary.
If he gave himself a buff, automatically converting words about who or whose into others when reaching his ears, would that work?
Using Aether Editing, it didn’t seem hard.
Bai Yuekui blinked and said, “Um, Nameless, right? Is this a scene from some pre-Apocalypse cartoon? I don’t think I’ve seen it; looks interesting, can I watch? I can trade my collection for it.”
“Ignore them; I’m March 7th, we’re here to solve the Mana Ecology.” March 7th was an honest young girl.
“Solve Mana Ecology? How much do you know?” Bai Yuekui’s eyes lit up.
“Hmm, Mana Ecology is… how was it caused? Anyway, related to Crimson Vortex; enter Crimson Vortex Space, and it should be solvable.” March 7th frowned in thought, but remembered nothing else, only Crimson Vortex.
But for Bai Yuekui, it was enough.
Looks like this group had really touched the core of the Apocalypse; if cooperating with her, success chance would rise again!
“Crimson Vortex Space isn’t that easy to enter; needs special conditions. And even if entering, not that easy to solve.” Bai Yuekui said.
“How do you know?” March 7th asked puzzled.
“You’re the one who entered Crimson Vortex Space once, right?” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Huh? She’s that person? So awesome!” March 7th exclaimed.
“How do you know?” Bai Yuekui frowned; now it was her turn to counter-question.
“Mana Flower told me; someone once entered Crimson Vortex Space.” Meng Huaifeng pointed to the distant Mana Flower King.
Mana Flower can tell people information? Bai Yuekui’s fine brows furrowed tighter, but she still said.
“Correct, I’ve entered Crimson Vortex Space once, but I have no memory inside; my Origin was also injured and hasn’t recovered yet.”
“Sister Bai Yuekui being able to enter is already amazing. Next, leave it to our Train Crew.” March 7th praised, then patted her chest in guarantee.
“I said, entering isn’t that easy; I used special means.” Bai Yuekui shook her head, not very believing.
She was confident she was the strongest on this planet; if even she couldn’t, what could they do?
Actually, them knowing Crimson Vortex Space already exceeded her expectations, very surprising.
“I know, only Devouring Beasts and triple helix gene chain, right?” Meng Huaifeng said flatly.
Even this they know?
“So have you figured out how to enter?” Bai Yuekui asked.
“I have three methods to enter. But still need some preparation.” Meng Huaifeng held up three fingers.
Three methods, better than her?
Real or wishful thinking?
“Can you explain in detail?” Bai Yuekui wanted to hear if feasible.
“Of course.” Meng Huaifeng explained his ideas one by one.
Bai Yuekui’s eyes sparkled; first is information network related Supernatural Ability? Other two same as her method.
All highly feasible!
Bai Yuekui already acknowledged their ability to enter Crimson Vortex Space, but not their ability to handle unknown existence inside.
These were talents not inferior to her; couldn’t let them rashly go to their deaths, must plan carefully!
“Don’t know why Crimson Vortex Space erased my memory but didn’t kill me directly, but inside definitely not simple; I disappeared outside only 0.7 seconds, but felt like 137 seconds inside. Why not come to Dragon Bone Village with me first, we plan carefully.” Bai Yuekui sincerely invited.
“Right, Dragon Bone Village is the survivor settlement I established.” Bai Yuekui added.
