Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 336: Apocalypse Crisis (3/3)

In June 779 on Terra, the 'Apocalypse' level biohazard appeared around Port Harrison in the South Ridge Province of the Setar Empire.

The giant parasite swarm named as 'heart-eater worm' has spread throughout the entire South Ridge of the Empire, and has a tendency to continue to spread at a high speed.

The infected will fall into an abnormal state of frenzy, and then become violent, becoming a bloodthirsty beast, looking for all edible nutrients to eat, and will be good at obtaining enough flesh and blood by killing people.

After obtaining enough nutrients, the infected will enter a 'transformation' state and be wrapped in a huge cocoon - the transformed infected will break out of the cocoon and return to the state of youthful heyday, with normal body Intelligent, but completely controlled by the swarm, becoming the flesh shell of the heart-eater.

Or in other words, a strange semi-independent individual.

At the same time, the swarm derivative named 'creep' is assimilating the local plants. The Marquis and the 19th and 23rd legions all assisted in the attack, and several third-level powerhouses wandering in Nanling also came to help, but they could only barely guarantee that the creep would not continue to spread in Nanling.

Currently, the empire has already mobilized the powerhouses of the fourth energy level. The head of the Cangyun Knights, the Thundercaller, and his knight attendants have left the Baisen Fortress, but there is no guarantee that they can be completely contained. The spread of the nest.

The Setar Empire, the countries of the Absalom bloodline in Feiyan, Whale Song Cliff, and the Canaan Moor Federation all received the highest level of alert from the Huaiguang Church in just two hours. , the relevant persons in charge and high-level officials have already gathered together under the auspices of the Huaiguang Church, the Spirit Tool Church and the Hall of All Souls.

Whether it is a crisis or a disaster, it is divided into three levels.

The third level is 'turmoil', the second level is 'catastrophe' and the first level is 'apocalypse'.

'Turbulence' is just like the original meaning, a powerful monster, an out-of-control armed force of pre-epoch civilization, a large-scale spread of poisonous disease, will cause a region to malfunction, and elements of turbulence belong to this class .

Among them, the most common ones are probably the totem master monsters controlled by the Sequoia natives who lost control at the peak of the second energy level, and began to attack all the intelligent life settlements in Nanling madly... This is considered a typical 'turmoil'.

But in fact, no matter whether it is a group of monsters at the first level, such as a group of thunder-hunting jellyfish migrating, or a large monster at the third level attacking a city, they are all at this level.

As for the second level of 'catastrophe', there is also no fixed level standard, as long as it can cause a large-scale imbalance in the local ecosystem and cause large-scale casualties, whether it is an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or a disaster like Dawn City, Being attacked by a Titan monster of the fourth energy level is a 'catastrophe'.

However, the first level of 'Apocalypse' is different.

No matter the disasters behind it represent bacteria, viruses, or the fifth-level true dragons or other titanic beasts, or even the destruction war between two countries, the disasters at the 'Apocalypse' level represent, Actually only one thing.

That is, it is enough to threaten the normal operation of the entire human society.

So, no matter how high the reputation of Huaiguang Church is, some people will choose to question it.

"Is the heart-eating worm really an apocalypse-level threat? As long as a few fourth-level powerhouses take action, it will be enough to easily eradicate it?"

Such doubts are not uncommon, and it is not an accountability that will arouse public anger-after all, Huaiguang Church often 'scaremongers'.

They always like to adjust the danger level by half a level, and when everyone is tense, they use a more relaxed method to suppress the disaster.

In the final analysis, although the heart-eating worm swarm is dangerous, it is still much inferior to the "Qijiela Karin incident" that happened in Yanjiang back then, and it should not be regarded as an apocalypse-level crisis.

Even, compared with the many insect nests that Huaiguang Church wiped out in the past, it is slightly inferior.

Three hundred years ago, a third-level Yanjiang sublimator named "Qijiela Karin" unearthed an ultra-ancient plant that can enhance human activity from the ruins.

The pollen of the ancient plant "Karin's Flower" named after himself by the discoverer can make people active and full of energy, no matter day or night, so it was popular among men, women and children in Yanjiang countries at that time. All were welcome and mass planting was carried out.

It is said that in the first year after the 'Flower of Karin' was excavated, the birth rate of Yanjiang countries increased by 10% immediately, and there were almost no side effects - except that it might be a little tired outside.

Obviously, the flower of Karin cannot be blocked, and it spread rapidly to all parts of Yanjiang within a few years.

This special pre-era civilized plant can indeed improve people's work efficiency. Some sublimators even said that using the pollen of the flower of Karin as an auxiliary material for potions can make advancement easier, while This method is called 'Pollen Road' and 'Pollen Way', and those who use this advanced sublimation even formed a holy flower knight order, aiming to spread this peculiar plant.

But it was at this time that some Yanjiang residents said that they began to connect with other people's minds in their sleep, and they began to feel endless happiness and peace, all of which were the result of Karin's flower belt. here.

A huge religion quickly took shape, and in a short period of time formed a political entity capable of influencing the policies of Yanjiang countries. Even in some remote towns, the Holy Flower Knights replaced the basically paralyzed official local rulers.

This triggered the vigilance of the Huaiguang Church and Shuoming Church stationed in Yanjiang, and the high-level leaders of Yanjiang countries also noticed that this matter was wrong.

However, it all happened so fast, and many people didn't react to it at all.

But they have been unable to stop.

On a seemingly ordinary night, tens of millions of Yanjiang residents fell into a coma in their sleep and never woke up again.

And a huge psionic plant appeared in the dreams of all the people in Yanjiang.

That is a giant Karin flower that has not yet fully bloomed, and in its flower bag, the heart light body of the discoverer of the Karin flower, Zijiela Karin, is undergoing transformation. A large number of rivers of souls are flowing into the flower bag, accelerating the sublimation of the heart light body.

At this moment, some normal Yanjiang people finally realized in astonishment that many people around them were no longer the original 'them', but were swallowed up by the 'Karin Flower' with their souls and minds. And replace the psionic offspring it controls.

As for the newborns born after the flower of Karin spread, none of them have normal minds!

They are born to be the carriers of Karin's flower.

The substrains of this psychic plant can almost perfectly imitate all the daily actions of the devoured mind. They can even conduct scientific research, participate in entertainment, and appreciate art normally, just like normal human beings, and even more empathetic.

Because the flowers of Karin deeply understand human beings, they will not provoke others, and keep the harmony and stability of the entire society as low as possible.

The only flaw is that they will take the initiative, earnestly and even almost compulsively, to recommend the flower of Karin to everyone around them.

Things have come to this point, conventional means can no longer eliminate the influence of Kalin's Flower, and Qijiela Karin, or in other words, the matrix of Karin's Flower has reached the fifth energy level, and it is still constantly grow strong.

This terrible psionic plant has taken root in the depths of the earth and human soul space, and has forged its own lair.

Its heart light body 'Dead Styx Akron' flows in the collective will of the tribes in Yanjiang. Wherever it passes, the grass and trees are all withered, and there is no life. The river flows silently.

Millions of minds dissipate into nothingness and converge into one.

In the quiet stillness.
