Lin Yang and Que Tian were both the stone sculpture reappeared this time, it was not the toes that appeared first, but...
Chest!
Yes, that's right.
This time, the stone sculpture no longer appears with the toes first as before, but appears at the chest position.
He pointed his chest directly at the height and position where Lin Yang and the other man were currently.
This means that they no longer need to waste more than six days flying from toes to chest, but can start working directly!
You can start rubbing the word "镇" directly!
"This……"
Lin Yang and Que Tian couldn't help but look at each other.
They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Although, there is no need to waste time flying this time.
But it made them both a little frightened!
The stone sculpture, contrary to its usual behavior, turned its chest directly towards the two of them.
The meaning behind this is terrifying when you think about it carefully!
"Could it be that the stone sculpture knows that we are erasing the word 'Zhen' for it, and it also wants to remove the word 'Zhen', so it simply appears on its chest to save us time?"
A somewhat horrifying thought suddenly popped up in Lin Yang's mind.
"Maybe, it's true." Que Tian also had the same idea.
"But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that this stone sculpture has a soul? It is not a dead object, but a living thing?"
Lin Yang was a little frightened.
A dead stone sculpture became spiritual, able to know what they were doing and actively cooperate.
This is so scary!
Que Tian nodded with difficulty, his eyes were also somewhat frightened. He was silent for a long time, looked at Lin Yang, and asked in a low voice:
"So, Team Leader, should we continue now?"
Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Continue!"
He looked at the stone sculpture and said in a deep voice:
"It's too late to continue now. If this stone sculpture really has a spirit and is deliberately cooperating with us to erase the word 'Zhen' on its chest, then if we stop now, I'm afraid we will anger the stone sculpture."
Judging from the performance of the stone sculpture during this period, it is much more terrifying and weird than those living creatures.
Now they are still counting on the stone sculpture to resolve the crisis of the living creature, so naturally they cannot stop and risk angering the stone sculpture.
"Then keep working. I really hope I won't die in too much pain!"
At this point, Que Tian no longer had any hope of survival, and even wanted to give up.
Lin Yang smiled bitterly and said to the stone sculpture while working:
"Senior Stone Sculpture, if you really have a spirit, we helped you to lift the suppression. Even if we didn't have any credit, we still worked hard. Please don't kill us for the sake of our work!"
"...Team leader, what are you doing?" Que Tian looked at him with a strange look.
"Ahem, let me pray and bless you in advance." Lin Yang's old face turned red.
"..."
Another seven days later.
“I don’t know if it’s because we worked on it for a few more days this time, or if the stone sculpture itself is trying to get rid of the word ‘Zhen’, but I always feel like the speed of erasure has been faster these days.”
Seeing the stone sculpture disappear, Lin Yang couldn't help but say.
Que Tian also nodded: "I thought it was just my illusion, it turns out that you, team leader, have the same feeling."
"Come back to the stone sculpture later and see if its eyes have opened wider." Lin Yang said.
They have been working on this for more than three months. If their guess is correct, the stone sculpture's eyes should be much more open than before.
"Ah."
Que Tian responded and took a dose of life-sustaining liquid. Then, when he subconsciously picked up the biscuit, he found that the last small piece of compressed biscuit had also been eaten.
His hand holding the biscuit paused.
Lin Yang could clearly see Que Tian staring at the empty bag in a daze.
"Quetian, are you okay?" Lin Yang whispered.
There are actually only a few compressed biscuits in a bag.
In fact, he had noticed a long time ago that Que Tian only took a small bite each time, obviously afraid of eating too fast and finishing the biscuits.
But unfortunately, the fact that those compressed biscuits took so long to be eaten was because Que Tian was extremely frugal.
Now that the compressed biscuits are gone, Que Tian is obviously not used to the state of not having biscuits to eat after taking the life-sustaining liquid.
"I'm fine." Que Tian came back to his senses, squeezed the empty packaging bag tightly, and threw the bag away.
The bag was floating, but was stopped by a transparent life form and torn into pieces.
Soon, the stone sculpture reappeared.
Lin Yang went directly to the eyes.
In fact, you don't even need to go to the eyes to clearly see that the stone sculpture's eyes are much more open than before, and are almost fully open.
"Erasing the word 'Zhen' can indeed speed up the stone sculpture's opening of its eyes." Lin Yang said.
"I hope we are not helping a strange and evil creature break free from the seal." Que Tian frowned.
"I hope so." Lin Yang sighed in his heart.
But in fact, both he and Que Tian knew very well that nothing positive had ever appeared in the information about the unknown space.
In other words, anything in the unknown space, any living thing, is dangerous.
This stone sculpture is particularly strange.
No one knows what will happen after waking up.
But the two of them have no other choice now.
Time passed, and another two months went by.
"Team leader, our maintenance fluid is only enough to last another month at most, but at the current rate, we cannot completely erase the word 'Zhen' and make the stone sculpture open its eyes."
That day, after Que Tian replenished his life-sustaining fluid, he whispered to Lin Yang.
"Don't give up until the last moment." Lin Yang responded.
In fact, he was very anxious in his heart, but he could no longer show his anxiety.
Que Tian was not very motivated to survive, and if he showed any anxiety at this time, the mood of both of them would be greatly affected.
"Team leader, how about, while I still have some strength, I will release the power of the forbidden god and hold back these life forms, and see if you can escape." Que Tian said again.
Lin Yang shook his head: "It's impossible. Over the past few months, more and more transparent life forms and new life forms have gathered."
As he spoke, he glanced into the distance and said slowly:
"They've become smarter. They know to deal with both of us separately. You can hold off one of them, but the other won't give me a chance to escape. We might as well go all out and try to make the statue open its eyes before the life-support fluid runs out."
"Well." Que Tian didn't mention it any more.
Then, the two fell into silence, concentrating on erasing the word "Zhen".
Another seven days passed.
"Quetian, I don't think there's much chance of escaping anyway. Can you please tell me what the power of the Forbidden God is?"
Lin Yang couldn't help but ask curiously.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be so tactless as to pry into other people's secrets.
But the current situation is special, so it’s a different matter.
Que Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then fell silent.
Seems to be hesitating.
"It's okay if it's inconvenient to say it. I was presumptuous." Lin Yang said quickly when he saw this.
"No, it's not inconvenient. It's not a secret. I'm just thinking about how to explain it to you in a simple and intuitive way."
Que Tian smiled.
"After all, it's quite complicated to explain this thing from the beginning."
As he said this, he was ready to explain to Lin Yang what the power of "Forbidden God" was.
However, before Que Tian could formally speak, Lin Yang accidentally glanced into the depths of the unknown space. He did not bother to listen to Que Tian's explanation, but turned around instantly and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Is that the battleship of the fourth group?"
"Ah? What? The fourth group of warships?" Que Tian turned around instantly and looked in the direction Lin Yang was looking, and then he was stunned.
Deep in the unknown space, they saw a warship flashing a faint light and sailing towards them at a very fast speed.
And this battleship looks very much like the fourth group of battleships seen before.
"It seems to be the battleship of the fourth group."
After the warship came a little closer, Lin Yang could be completely sure that this was the warship from the fourth group.
"Why did it come back?" He was immediately surprised.
Que Tian said: "And there seems to be no one inside. The member of the fourth group seems to be no longer in there. He must have died."
"Quetian!"
Lin Yang stared at the fourth group of warships for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Our turning point has appeared!"
"Ah?" Que Tian hasn't reacted yet.
Lin Yang said with a burning gaze:
"According to the battleship's current speed and direction, it will soon reach our location. If we take the opportunity to enter the battleship, we may be able to leave this area."
Que Tian was instantly shocked: "Team leader, do you mean that the two of us should find an opportunity to enter the fourth group of battleships?"
"Correct!"
Lin Yang nodded.
"There may be many life forms inside the fourth group of warships, but it doesn't matter. Once the warships enter the area covered by the stone sculptures' power, we can take the opportunity to enter the warships and open the hatches. Those life forms will surely flee frantically."
"Then we can control the warship to stop sailing and stay in the area covered by the stone sculpture's power until the life forms in the warship are completely eliminated, and finally we can jump away from here!" After Lin Yang finished speaking, Que Tian immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this is feasible!"
"Then, start preparing to land on the warship!" Lin Yang was also slightly excited.
Originally they had lost hope of leaving, but the appearance of the fourth group of warships gave them new hope.
It was not difficult for them to land on the fourth group of warships.
They didn't use up much energy in their combat equipment and aircraft.
Now we just need to calculate the time and land when the fourth group of warships enters the power range of the stone sculpture.
at last.
The fourth group of warships entered the power range of the stone sculpture.
"It's now!"
Lin Yang shouted softly and ran straight towards the warship.
Que Tian also acted synchronously.
Soon, the two successfully landed on the warship.
What surprised Lin Yang and his team even more was that the main hatch of the battleship was actually half open.
This saved them the time of opening the hatch and allowed them to enter the warship smoothly.
And inside the warship, just as Lin Yang had thought before, when the warship approached the stone sculpture, all the living creatures inside that could escape fled in a swarm.
So now the two of them can go straight to the main control room in the battleship without any obstruction and in complete safety.
"Strange, it seems that except for the cruise power system, all other systems of the fourth group of battleships are shut down."
As he walked over, Que Tian frowned and said.
"That's true. Only the emergency lights are flashing. Even the normal lighting system is turned off." Lin Yang nodded.
Soon, we arrived at the main control room.
The hatch of the main control room was completely closed.
"Without the captain's authority and all systems are shut down, even the battleship's intelligent system is not running. We cannot connect to the battleship's intelligent system. We can't open the hatch from the outside unless we demolish it violently." Que Tian frowned even more tightly when he saw this.
"Let's go to the power room first and stop the spacecraft."
Lin Yang said this and quickly ran towards the power room.
Within the power range of the stone sculpture, those life forms did not dare to attach themselves to it, but the warship remained sailing and would soon be completely out of the power range of the stone sculpture.
At that time, those living creatures will rush in following the smell, and then they will be in danger.
However, all the doors leading to the power room were also in emergency locked state.
In this situation, there is no way to get to the power room except to break in violently.
And the violent break-in...
To be honest, it is still a bit difficult for Lin Yang and Que Tian now.
The materials used for battleship hatches are of the highest rules and standards.
If they wanted to break the door violently, it would be best to use special tools, but they couldn't carry such tools with them.
Although the weapons they currently have can also break down doors violently, it will take a relatively long time to break open a hatch.
There were at least seven or eight such doors on the path to the power room. By the time they broke through the doors violently, the spaceship had already sailed out of the power range of the stone sculpture.
"It's really difficult to figure out. What's going on with this fourth group of warships? Why would they activate the emergency lock state that can only be opened by the highest authority? It makes it impossible to open the hatch even with the password." Que Tian was very puzzled.
"Let's go back to the main cabin door first. The emergency lock of the main cabin door has not been activated. It should still support emergency opening."
Lin Yang said this and quickly returned to the main cabin.
Que Tian ran behind him and said, "Team leader, do you know the hatch password? If you don't know, the hatch will be completely locked after three attempts!"
"do not know!"
Lin Yang answered decisively.
Then, in the face of Que Tian's astonishment, he added calmly: "But I have a way to get the password!"
"Ah?" Que Tian was stunned.
Lin Yang didn't have time to pay attention to him, but silently said to the system:
"System, can I use the national treasure points I have accumulated to decipher the password of the main hatch?"
"Answer the host. It only takes one-third of your current national treasure value to decipher the password of the battleship's main hatch."
"Hmm? Is that all?"
Lin Yang couldn't help but be surprised.
This money-grubbing system has changed its nature now?
"Yes, host, it is not difficult to decipher this password, so the fee is relatively low." The system explained.
"Then just crack the code!" Lin Yang said immediately.
The moment he opened his mouth, he was ready to go bankrupt again, but he didn't expect that this dog system would be so generous for once.
Soon, the system directly gave the cracked password.
Lin Yang entered directly.
"Crack!"
The main hatch opens directly!
A success!
This simply stunned Que Tian!
"Team...Team Leader, didn't you say you didn't know the password?"
Que Tian murmured.
Get it right the first time.
Don't know the password?
Lin Yang chuckled and without saying much, he quickly entered the main control room and turned on the main control system.
but……
"Hello, please connect to our members to verify the information. If you are not a senior engineer of the Human Alliance, do not have the corresponding authority, or cannot connect to the verification information correctly, the main control room will be closed again."
"At the same time, when your verification fails a certain number of times, the battleship will automatically destroy important data."
As soon as Lin Yang pressed the button, all the control systems that should have been activated instantly were not activated.
Instead, only the verification self-destruct program of the battleship's intelligent system was activated.
Lin Yang was not unfamiliar with this function.
This is a restriction program set by the battleship to prevent other enemies from obtaining a large amount of information.
However, under normal circumstances, this restriction program is rarely activated actively.
Because after activation, each use of the main control program requires verification, which is quite troublesome.
But now the situation of this battleship is obviously special, so it is reasonable to activate this program.
Then, Lin Yang started to verify his identity directly.
Ten seconds later.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin Yang, your identity has been verified. Due to the authority set by the previous captain, you are now automatically the new captain of the battleship. I am very happy to serve you!"
After the identity was verified, the lights in the main control room suddenly lit up.
All control systems were put online in an instant, and the battleship's intelligent system was directly activated.
"I need to know what happened on the battleship now. Where did the previous members go?"
After taking over the warship, Lin Yang first closed the navigation, let the warship stay near the stone sculpture, and then asked the intelligent system.
The intelligent system did not answer his question immediately, but instead, following the instructions of the previous captain, suddenly popped up a confidential message.
"Hello, new captain. This is confidential information left by the previous captain. Please verify your identity again. Once your identity is verified again, you will see the specific content of the information."
"Is there encrypted information?" Lin Yang was a little surprised and immediately performed a second verification.
With the new verification, he also saw the specific content of the encrypted message.
As the encrypted message unfolded, just the first sentence made Lin Yang's heart tremble. He looked at Que Tian and said in a concentrated voice:
"The fourth group... found signs of the Midnight Clan's activities in the unknown space!"
"what?"
Que Tian was also shocked immediately!
He was not the captain, so he could not see the encrypted information. When he heard Lin Yang's words, he was instantly shocked.
The fourth group actually found the location of the Midnight Clan?
"Team leader, this... is not a joke, right?" Que Tian asked quickly.
Lin Yang shook his head: "It's true. To be precise, the member of the fourth group who reminded us last time discovered the existence of the Midnight Clan during the subsequent voyage."
"Where are they?" Que Tian looked serious, "And that team member, what's his current situation?"
"Wait a minute, let me read the encrypted message first and then tell you!"
Lin Yang took a deep breath.
He just saw the first sentence and couldn't help but speak out in shock.
The specific information will need to be looked up later.
After reading the entire encrypted message, Lin Yang's eyes became extremely solemn.
Because the location of the Midnight Clan is definitely a place that no one can imagine!
"Quetian, I think we might be about to do something big!"
The next moment, Lin Yang spoke solemnly.
