When an Alien Is Bound to a World-Saving System
Chapter 4
In an instant, the countless filamentary vines on the continent stopped in unison, and neatly covered themselves with a thick layer of silicified shells according to the black-haired boy's instructions.
The soldiers and commanders who were on standby stared dumbfoundedly at the countless twisting black tentacles in front of them that stopped in an instant!
The surface glowed with a porcelain-like luster, quietly standing there, like tens of thousands of black statues.
The presidents of the various countries were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene through the big screen!
They could only awkwardly stop their impassioned countdown, then cleared their throats and ordered:
"All attacks are to be suspended, scientists and technicians of all countries should first assess the current situation … uh, do some investigation …"
So the scientists of all countries carefully approached the 'black statues' closest to them.
They began to study the coat that suddenly appeared on their bodies.
And the filamentary vines allowed the scientists to knock on their bodies without any movement.
They pretended that they couldn't feel anything, that they were just a group of simple stone statues ~
The more than 6 million soldiers who were ready to go didn't know whether to leave or stay.
They could only temporarily withdraw from the junkyard with the flamethrowers and laser guns, gather at the periphery, and be on standby.
An hour later.
Thousands of top scientists from all over the world reached a consensus after discussing with each other:
These alien black nematodes, for some unknown reason, had all entered a deep dormant state.
In this dormant state, they didn't seem to need to consume energy, nor did they need to exchange materials with the outside world.
And now their skin was composed of some kind of silicide, which didn't have any life characteristics.
However, this silicified shell had extremely strong resistance to attack and high temperature!
In short, the scientists unanimously expressed that they didn't agree to take any offensive measures against the dormant black nematodes, because it was likely to activate them again!
On the other hand, the black nematodes in this silicified state were completely harmless to humans.
So the leaders of all countries and the officials of the various countries were divided into two factions with completely different attitudes:
The conservative faction said: We should withdraw immediately, to prevent some careless actions of the soldiers from activating the black nematodes again.
In the next ten hours, we should try to maintain this peaceful situation and wait for the SSS-level savior of the Salvation Alliance to arrive!
The radical faction retorted: We have no idea what caused the black nematodes to go dormant.
If they could all enter a dormant state within a second, then it was very likely that they could all be activated within a second!
The timing of their hibernation was too coincidental. Perhaps this was the Black Threadworms' scheme!
Hibernation was used to confuse us and make us retreat!
(A certain Alien nodded. You guys know the truth.)
Therefore, we must not fall into their trap!
The two factions quarreled endlessly, quarreling in the Federation of Nations.
As a result, the 6 million soldiers who didn't receive any specific orders could only bitterly await orders for an entire night while surrounded by countless strangely shaped black sculptures.
The next morning, in the hotel.
After a certain alien woke up, he slowly ate his breakfast and reached out for the stack of CDs.
The System, who had accompanied the Host for one day and two nights, finally felt a little guilty. It asked weakly in the black-haired teenager's mind,
"Madam Host, if we continue playing like this … wouldn't it be bad?
Why don't we start the quest? "
The black-haired young man said, "Yes, we're only going to watch two hours of movies today. We'll stop at 9."
The System 2d14 asked happily, "Then we'll start contacting the local government?"
The black-haired young man said, "No, I'm just worried that it'll be very noisy outside and ruin the mood of the movie."
The System 2d14 said, "Ah?"
8: 30, by the sea.
Countless Black Threadworms who had completed their task of cleaning up the seabed swarmed over. They drilled into the silicified shells of the black vines that extended from the mainland and quickly rushed inland along the silicified pipes.
The Black Threadworms who were originally on the ground doing their tasks in the silicified shells instantly shrunk their bodies to a quarter of their original size to make room for the reinforcements.
8: 59.
There was no longer any trace of the Black Threadworms in the vast ocean. The originally murky seawater had now become extremely clear. The billions of tons of various types of trash had also disappeared without a trace. The surface of the sea reflected a blue light under the sunlight.
Tick tock, 9 o 'clock sharp!
The hundreds of millions of black sculptures on the mainland instantly changed their silicified shells. Their bodies instantly expanded by four to five times their original size!
Then they began to operate crazily!
"Gather!
Gather!
Level one alert! "
The soldiers who had stayed up all night and had dark circles under their eyes hurriedly rushed to their main position under the command of their leader — the garbage dump. Two minutes later, they were horrified to find that the black vines had long disappeared from the garbage dump. In their place were countless black vesicles that were as large as mountains!
Each black vesicle had swallowed a mountain of trash. Those black vesicles of various sizes were constantly squirming, as if they were chewing on food!
Seeing such a scene, even the commanders felt their scalps go numb. Many soldiers with trypophobia vomited on the spot...
What they did not see was that in the city, the Black Threadworms that were originally attached to the ground of the streets and alleys quickly rushed to the center of the city.
In the gaps between the most prosperous high-rise buildings in the city, the Black Threadworms converged into an oversized vine that was more than ten meters thick. Then, it rose from the ground like a magic pea vine in a fairy tale and rushed straight to the sky!
Then, it disappeared into the thick haze above the city.
After rising to a suitable height, the Black Threadworms exploded like fireworks. Countless thin strands probed into the surrounding sky and merged with the dense black particles in the haze.
The people in the nearby skyscrapers only felt as if they were in hell!
Originally, they had squeezed in the upper floors to avoid the Black Threadworms on the ground. Now, they all fled down the stairs. A small number of people crazily tried to squeeze into the elevators on their own floors!
However, the first batch of people who rushed down to the first floor found in despair that the surroundings of the building had been squeezed by the Black Threadworms from the streets!
Layer upon layer, the Black Threadworms drowned the bottom of the building like a swamp. The glass exterior of the skyscraper's first floor could not even let a trace of light pass through. It was as dark as night!
Therefore, the people trapped in the building could only take out their phones and take pictures of their terrible situation. Then, they could upload them to the Internet or government websites in an attempt to ask for help...
At this time, the International Union of Countries.
The big screens were constantly playing videos taken by citizens of the Black Threadworms that rose from the ground in the center of cities all over the world.
"A total of 5,162 such phenomena have been discovered across the continent..."
"According to satellite data, the highest few Black Threadworms have reached up to 11,000 meters..."
The radical officials shouted, "This is the cunning Black Threadworms sending a signal to outer space!
Tell their partners that our planet is now completely under their control. Who knows, they might summon more alien creatures to invade our homeland!
We can't let them succeed! "
(A certain Alien: "I'm just going to the sky to pick up my brothers who have cleaned up the particles in the atmosphere...")
The conservative officials could not refute this, nor could they come up with a better explanation for this terrifying and strange phenomenon.
Therefore, the radical officials won an overwhelming victory in the Union of Nations!
They immediately issued an order to all the troops:
"Assemble the entire army immediately!
Hurry to the city center and destroy those Giant Vines at all costs! "
The on-the-spot commanders at the junkyard were in a dilemma, wondering if they should give the order to attack the Giant Vesicles in the junkyard. At the same time, they received orders from their superiors, so the commanders quickly rushed to the city center with the soldiers who were dispirited due to lack of sleep and nausea.
By the time they arrived dozens of meters away from the Giant Magic Pea Vine, they were already unable to move an inch. The wriggling Black Threadworms on the street were half a person thick.
Therefore, the commanders made a prompt decision and ordered their soldiers to set up quantum cannons, aiming at the Black Threadworms between the buildings and firing!
"Boom!"
The cannonballs hit the Black Threadworms' trunk with a huge impact, instantly blasting a hole several meters wide in the trunk!
Black juice splattered everywhere, smearing the faces of the soldiers standing in the first few rows.
Then, the soldiers were horrified to find that the thick black liquid on their bodies seemed to have a life of its own, quickly wriggling and gathering on their bodies!
The soldiers were all frightened out of their wits as they jumped up and down, trying to shake off the black liquid!
After the Black Threadworms that had been blown into flat worms fell to the ground, they continued to wriggle and join the Black Threadworms on the ground...
And the hole in the trunk had already been perfectly filled by the Black Threadworms!
"Continue attacking!"
The commanders ordered.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "
The sound of cannonballs constantly rang out in the various cities.
At the same time, a certain Alien calmly sipped a glass of red wine while accompanied by the sound of explosions outside the window.
(What's the rush?
They won't die anyway.)
System 2d14 listened to the noise outside the window and asked a little fearfully, "Dear Host!
What's happening outside?
Should we ask the people in the hotel? "
The black-haired young man ignored the system's question and said, "Actually, I don't have any special abilities."
System 2d14: "Ah?
But I tested it! "
The black-haired young man: "Your testing accuracy needs to be improved.
Although I don't have any special abilities, I have some other abilities. "
System 2d14 asked excitedly, "What are they, dear Host?"
Hearing this, the black-haired young man smiled and put down the wine glass in his hand.
Then, he strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his hand, and pulled open the curtains that hadn't been touched for two days. He looked straight at the hellish scene outside the window and said to the system:
"See for yourself."
