BFET Chapter 68

Altar

Altar

Xie Yi got on the helicopter and threw the safety box in his hand to Shen Shu.

“Please fasten your seat belts.”

After the cabin door closed, the roar was blocked out. The pilot’s voice came from the front, “According to the current sea fog location, we will fly to Lu Dao. Lu Dao is close to the Sulem Line. The flight time is expected to be two hours. Military speedboats are available on the island, and the driving key permissions have been opened to both of you through the Smart Terminal.”

The pilot’s voice was restrained and cautious. Xie Yi looked up and met his gaze in the rearview mirror. “Okay, thank you.”

Xie Yi looked at the gradually shrinking ground through the window, and unconsciously touched the thing in his arms, recalling what Hu Xianwei had said before leaving.

“There is a microbial chip in Xiao Shu’s heart. It was a deal I made with Fang Ganlang 16 years ago, as one of the prices to protect Xiao Shu.”

“The chip is injected with dozens of different mixed toxins, which we have continuously extracted and mixed since we started researching Mutated Entities. When the toxins are released, they will instantly cause the death of the attached organ. This thing is the activator. If you encounter any danger and have to make a choice, it can help you, but I hope there will be no such opportunity.”

“I hope you can all live well. If everything can settle smoothly, don’t come back.”

“In an abandoned research institute in the suburbs of Tong Qing, I have some things I prepared privately, as well as a treatment pod. The treatment pod is set with a program, and the activation key is also this thing.”

“I’m ashamed to say that I witnessed the rise of this disaster. Humanity has struggled for more than seventy years, dedicating my whole life to it. Now, I can only impose my only private wish on you who are not related. I’m sorry…”

Two hours later, Lu Dao, eastern Sulem Line, the helicopter landed near the speedboat mooring point.

After getting off the helicopter, Xie Yi took Shen Shu straight to the mooring point.

“You don’t seem to have explicitly said what we should do after we get to that altar?” Xie Yi took off his protective suit and looked at the sea fog not far away.

After a long while, he didn’t hear anyone respond. He turned his head and saw Shen Shu squatting on the shore, with one hand stretched into the water.

“What are you doing?” Xie Yi walked over.

“Looking for something that can take us there.” After a while, Shen Shu retracted his hand and turned around.

Xie Yi looked at the redTexture floating on his face, and when he met his lighter eyes again, he said, “There are no Mutated Entities in this sea area because of the sea fog, and didn’t you say that the heart is the pass?”

“I’m not looking for those Mutated Entities, but the sea fog’s recognized followers.” Shen Shu said, “The heart is a pass that allows us to enter the sea fog. Although we can also find the location of the altar through it, it’s too troublesome. After all, that thing is always moving.”

Xie Yi frowned upon hearing this: “Followers? Are you confident you can control them?”

“Followers are also divided into different levels, and there is no difference between low-intelligence creatures.” As he spoke, Shen Shu raised the safety box in his hand towards him, “Besides, don’t we still have this?”

“Then what should we do when we enter the altar?” Xie Yi asked.

“The altar of the Awakening Ritual is divided into a central part and a peripheral part. Ke Xila is in the central altar, and the inscriptions engraved by the leaders of the past followers are in the peripheral altar. These inscriptions are the foundation of the ritual.” Shen Shu stood up and looked at the sea fog that was clearly moving not far away, “As long as you destroy those inscriptions, and then let them aggregate in a chaotic way, and then send the sleeping heart to the central altar before the inscriptions return to the correct trajectory, and start the Awakening Ritual, the entire ritual will collapse under all the wrong conditions.”

“Isn’t it simple?” Shen Shu raised his eyebrows at Xie Yi.

“What’s simple?” Xie Yi looked at him, “You haven’t made it clear about the most crucial parts of this, how to destroy the inscriptions, how to make them aggregate chaotically, and how to start the ritual.”

“Those inscriptions are very fragile, and can be destroyed with just a light tear.” Shen Shu replied, “As for how to make them aggregate, it’s even simpler. The inscriptions will aggregate by themselves, just slightly interfere with the aggregation path. The only trouble here is that these inscriptions carry direct pollution, which will cause irreversible damage, so you have to ensure that you have less contact with them. Just leave the rest to me.”

Shen Shu looked at Xie Yi, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be saying: Look, isn’t it simple?

“Then what about starting the ritual?” Xie Yi asked directly, “If I remember correctly, the Awakening Ritual under incorrect conditions and the Awakening Ritual under correct conditions correspond one-to-one, and the incorrect conditions you mentioned are missing a very important thing, Ke Xila in the correct conditions.”

Xie Yi asked expressionlessly: “What does He correspond to?”

After a long while, Shen Shu spread his hands in compromise, “Okay, okay, it’s me. I originally wanted to deeply move you when the time came, but it seems that it won’t work.”

“…” Although he had a vague guess, Xie Yi still felt a little itchy when he heard Shen Shu’s words.

“Then what?” Xie Yi resisted, “What’s your backup plan? Don’t say you don’t have one, I won’t believe it. You shouldn’t have the hobby of being a savior, after all, you’re not that great.”

“Captain, sometimes you really don’t need to be so direct, it’s too unromantic.” Shen Shu sighed, and when he looked up at him, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, “As for my backup plan, it’s you.”

Xie Yi frowned. Before he could speak again, he saw Shen Shu’s face fade, and then he turned to look at the sea behind him.

He also followed Shen Shu to look over, only to see that the sea surface in front of the approaching sea fog was surging with waves, and something was faintly moving between the waves, a lot of them.

Shen Shu whispered: “Here they come.”

Those things moved extremely fast, and almost as soon as Shen Shu finished speaking, they had already approached the mooring point, and the waves were hitting the several military speedboats parked on the side almost squeezed together.

Dozens of huge fish heads with big eyes like copper bells emerged from the sea, staring at them in unison.

Shen Shu turned his head and made a “shush” gesture to Xie Yi, then reached out and grabbed his hand, silently mouthing: Let’s go.

Xie Yi let him take him onto the speedboat on the far side.

The gazes of those dozens of fish heads followed them all the way, and after they got on the speedboat, they stared at them for more than ten seconds before slowly surrounding the speedboat they were on.

Then Xie Yi saw that theCable fixed around them had broken, and the next second the entire speedboat moved towards the sea fog.

Xie Yi reacted extremely quickly and grabbed the handrail on the side. The whistling wind gradually rose in his ears. When he squinted his eyes and looked up again, the sea fog that was originally some distance away was close at hand.

He subconsciously held his breath, and then followed the speedboat, rushing straight into the sea fog!

White, an overwhelming white instantly enveloped them, the whistling wind disappeared in his ears, and the fish heads gathered around the speedboat were gone.

The surroundings were quiet to the point of almost being oppressive, as if everything was stagnant.

Xie Yi looked at Shen Shu beside him and moved the hand he was holding.

Shen Shu immediately looked over, but shook his head when he met Xie Yi’s eyes.

Xie Yi retracted his gaze, his eyes filled with vigilance, and looked around again.

In this environment, it is easy to lose the concept of time. The current situation is unknown, and Xie Yi did not dare to risk looking at the Smart Terminal, so he could only resist it. He didn’t know how long it had passed, maybe a long time, maybe a short time.

Suddenly, the sound of waves faintly came from ahead.

Xie Yi and Shen Shu looked at each other, and then looked forward at the same time.

As the sound of the waves became clearer and clearer, the whistling wind reappeared in his ears, and the white that enveloped them gradually dissipated.

A magnificent building lifted the white mist and appeared in front of them little by little.

It was an ancient building, with magnificent stone statues and gorgeous reliefs intertwined in a strange way, giving people an extremely strong sense of discomfort.

Xie Yi looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Just as doubts arose in his heart, the scene in front of him suddenly twisted and turned into a giant fortress. Various strange creatures were struggling on the fortress. They seemed to be roaring, seemed to be sad, and seemed to be kneeling and begging.

An illusion?

Xie Yi narrowed his eyes and watched the speedboat they were on approach the fortress with vigilance. The hull passed into the giant fortress, and then they did.

A cold touch spread along his skin. The white in front of him turned black. Before Xie Yi had time to adapt, countless sharp and overlapping chants suddenly swept in from all directions, and his brain exploded instantly!

Xie Yi couldn’t control himself and fell forward. In a trance, he felt that the hand holding his wrist seemed to be disappearing. He reflexively grabbed back, but grabbed nothing!

——Shen Shu!

At the same time.

The Mutated Entities gathered in various safety zones seemed to have sensed something one after another, and one after another, they raised their heads and roared, and then rushed towards the security teams that were blocking them again!
