Chapter 2064 Race Against Time

Time is speeding up the race for these four people.

What Osius said made Mo Ye think for a long time. She couldn't figure out what happened to the bodies of these four people.

"No one else was affected?"

"No, there are only the four of them. The dormant cabin can only do basic physical examination and maintenance to maintain the functioning of the body. There are no wounds, no illnesses, only accelerated aging, which keeps aging at several times the speed."

The four physique practitioners who are in good health, around the tenth level of physique, and with excellent physique, inexplicably began to age at almost the same time, and their various organs continued to fail. This is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence.

Mo Ye's mental power circled around the four of them, and found nothing special. Except for the weak mental power fluctuations caused by deep sleep and aging, everything seemed extraordinarily normal.

Soon, the inspection results of the medical cabin appeared, and the inspection data of the four people popped up on the light screen. As Osius said, there was no disease, and no internal injuries were found. The internal organs were naturally failing, and the body functions were aging.

Everything appears to be normal, except for their age estimates, which are wildly different from reality.

Whether it is the bone age or the data detected by other methods, there is little difference, showing that these are four elderly people over the age of 270. The data detection did not find any abnormalities, normal and abnormal.

If these few people are really old people who are dying and reaching the end of their lives, then these data are very common and normal. Birth, old age, sickness and death, any living body needs to go through such a life course from freshness to withering and final death.

However, Osius said that the real age of these people is not like this, they are young and middle-aged people who are strong and have a lot of time, so such data is extremely abnormal.

Assuming that what Osius said is true, it is really difficult to explain the problems that happened to these four people.

"Spiritual skills or diseases that accelerate aging are not absent in the Star Alliance."

Yan An's words attracted Mo Ye's attention.

"Tell me."

"Some abilities with special attributes can directly destroy genes when they attack, destroy the operation of body functions through certain hormones or other means to accelerate aging, and there are also some genes with natural defects that can cause diseases that accelerate aging, but the aging speed It’s really rare that it’s that fast.”

Mo Ye turned his gaze back to the four people lying in the medical cabin with closed eyes. The youngest one of them had difficulty speaking, even his breathing was extremely weak, and his tired and aging body had come to an end.

They can't even breathe freely without oxygen support.

"Is it possible to be Zerg?" After all, Zerg Domain has been committed to all kinds of weird genetic research, and it seems that it is not impossible if this is their newly developed attack method.

Another data analysis chart popped up on the light screen of the medical cabin, accompanied by an intelligent explanation, "No suspected parasites or viruses were found. These are four healthy and naturally aging human bodies."

Mo Ye frowned and yawned, feeling a little headache.

Turning his head to look at Osius who was on the side again, "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

Osius nodded. Compared with the last time in Takar City, Osius at this time was a little less arrogant and pompous. He took off his golden crown and scepter, and he did not have the habit of flirting with beauties all the time. , the whole person is like a jar of old wine covered with a sealed lid, there is no depth to be seen, only a light and long wine fragrance overflows.

Much more introverted.

To be honest, with Osius' elf-like handsome appearance and slender figure, such a restrained and deep temperament at this time invisibly adds a bit of convincing.

Mo Ye suddenly remembered the guard who had been following Osius like a shadow, but he didn't see him.

Osius nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."

Osius did not take the initiative to mention why they suddenly appeared in the Covenant, when they came, what purpose they had, and what happened to the Norseman planet.

Compared to Norseman's problem, Mo Ye's response to the black crack,

And how they managed to escape and survive is more interesting.

Mo Ye, Yan An, and Osius moved to the restaurant on the second floor of the Egg Cake. Of course, the importance of talking about such an important matter must be at the dinner table.

"Our cargo ships have been going back and forth between the Star Alliance and the Empire for trade communication. In order to avoid conflicts with the Empire or the armies of the Star Alliance and being involved in wars, we will choose different interstellar waterways as much as possible every time we travel. Try to avoid the patrolling teams."

Osius took out a recorder, which was the size of a fingernail and could be worn on any part of the body as an ornament. After it was activated, it was placed on the dining table.

A few seconds later, a holographic star map appeared above the dining table.

"This is the route we were sailing at that time. The cargo ship was at this position before the incident." Osius pointed to the flashing green cursor in the star chart.

"The video content in the black box has not been edited, it is already the full version, only those, in order to increase the possibility of being rescued, the content of the cargo ship's black box is sent to the entire universe, as long as the password can be parsed can be seen the contents of it."

This also confirmed some of Mo Ye's previous guesses about the video. Sure enough, she was not the only one who knew about the black crack.

"You have seen that black crack with your own eyes, what is it?"

Osius' expression froze and puzzled for a moment, as if he didn't know how to describe it accurately, and was stunned for a while.

Mo Ye didn't rush, and waved to signal that the kitchen was ready to serve.

Robot chefs place plate after plate of delicious food on the table.

The few people who followed Osius sat upright, unmoved at all.

Mo Ye felt a little emotional. If there is nothing left in his family, he is ready to start the second round.

Mo Ye took the food slowly, waiting for Osius to speak.

After a while, Osius finally spoke, "No, you thought it was a tearing gap, a large space gap that can swallow everything like a black hole?"

Mo Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped in mid-air with his chopsticks holding the char siu pork, and looked at Osius who was sitting directly opposite, "Huh?" Isn't it?

"Hehe." Osius shook his head with a half-smile, "No, that's a line, just a black line."

Alright, Osius successfully threw His Excellency the Mage into the sea of ​​question marks, and he became dizzy from being hit by the question marks constantly.

Slowly withdrew his hand and put the char siew meat held by the chopsticks on the plate, and tapped the plate surface, "What do you mean?"

Osius took a breath, obviously recalling the scene at that time was not a pleasant thing for him, fingers curled up, knuckles tapped lightly, and he paused for a long time before continuing to say, "That's not a gap, Even though on video it looks very much like a black crack tearing apart the space, in reality, it's just a black line."

When talking about this incident, Mo Ye noticed that not only Osius, but also several other people under him, had fluctuated and unstable mental power to varying degrees.

"That's the only sight I've ever seen in my life. It's hard to describe it accurately." Osius lowered his head, and there were a few low vibrations in his throat, as if he was laughing, but it was hard to distinguish.

"It's a black line, a black line that extends infinitely without boundaries. I'm absolutely sure that I'm not mistaken." Osius pointed to the holographic star map, raised his hand and drew a black straight line in the void." Just like this line, sometimes it is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal, I don’t know how those changes come about, it seems to be forbidden to move, but it can appear behind the ship in an instant.”

"Everything it passed by disappeared, not engulfed, you won't see those planets or meteorites swallowed by the cracks torn open, or feel a strong pulling force, etc., it just appeared."

Osius raised his hand and drew a black straight line in the air, "It just appeared suddenly, and then the area it passed through left nothing behind, everything disappeared, as if it had never appeared before."

There is nothing left.

Mo Ye and Yan An glanced at each other, both of them had too many doubts in their hearts, and this matter might be more dangerous than they estimated at the beginning.

"How did you escape?"

"escape?"

This time Osius really smiled, the coldness melted instantly on his handsome face like a finely carved face, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

It is still alive and well, and the escape capsule escaped the black crack.... The black line swallowed it intact until now, although it encountered a strange space zerg and almost died while drifting in space.

All in all, survived, didn't you?

"Do you think an escape pod can escape the black line that even battleships, mechs, and planets cannot escape?"

Osius' expression was smiling, but it made people think that expression was more sad than crying, "It stopped."

"It's really incomprehensible. It stopped suddenly without warning, just like before it appeared, without any warning, it appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly." Osius picked up the knife and fork to cut the barbecue in front of him "very Lucky isn't it?"

Mo Ye glanced at the other people sitting on both sides of Osius. They didn't say a word, but their mental power fluctuated very much in the same way.

There were only nine of them in the escape pod, and four of them fell into a strange aging state, and the rest of the people on the starship didn't need to ask, I'm afraid it was all bad luck.

"Only one escape pod succeeded?"

"Yes, the lucky ones are always very few, aren't they?"

This sentence is very reasonable, but at this moment it is obvious that Osius is not happy with this result.

"There were 1,638 people in the entire starship, and only nine of us have survived until now. The black line suddenly stopped and disappeared without a trace without a trace, together with the starry sky it passed through. , nothing left, how lucky, how lucky."

Osius's last words were almost whispers.

Is it lucky? Mo Ye doesn't know, but Mo Ye didn't show the slightest consolation, but said very flatly, "Only by living can we figure out what's going on, and only then can we know that the black line will lead those starships and those people to death." Where did you take it?"

Osius looked up and smiled, "Of course, I will definitely find out, that's why I found you."

"When did the aging phenomenon of those four soldiers start?"

"After the black line disappeared, the aging speed was very fast. After a few hours, we noticed something was wrong. We tried all the methods that could be tried in the escape cabin, but we still couldn't stop this aging. Sending them into the frozen hibernation cabin is our last The method is still useless, it only slightly slows down the aging speed, and aging has become an irreversible trend in their bodies."

Osius started playing the recorded video. The four of them were lying in the sleeping cabin, and the originally youthful and bright muscles gradually grew into layers of wrinkles.

Mo Ye also noticed this, the only ones sleeping in the frozen hibernation cabin were those four people.

Yan An, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly asked, "Did something happen? During this period, why did only those four people show signs of premature aging? Is there anything special about it?"

"You still encountered other attacks after that, such as the Zerg attached to the shell of the escape pod."

"No, the aging of the four of them has nothing to do with what happened afterwards. The black line appeared at that time. The most special thing is that the four of them were responsible for launching the escape pod, and they were the last to enter the escape pod. This is the only difference I can think of. .”

If the telepathy didn't deceive Mo Ye, then what Osius said so far is true.

"But how are you so sure that this must be related to the black thread, maybe some kind of special space zerg?" Yan An asked his question.

Osius' attitude was too determined.

"This is not the first time I've seen a case of premature aging like this."

Holding the soup bowl, Mo Ye drank the refreshing pumpkin soup spoon by spoon, waiting for Osius' next words.

Underneath the inadvertent and careless laziness is undivided attention.

"On Norseman."

"Starships, aircraft, and satellites are mysteriously missing, and the appearance of premature aging symptoms is not common. If it weren't for such a situation now, I wouldn't connect them together."

"Such a black line also appeared on Norseman Star?" Yan An was extremely surprised by this.

The doubt and uneasiness in Mo Ye's heart intensified again. What happened to the appearance of that black line? Is there any rule to follow?

Why even the place where Norseman is far away from the Covenant and blocked by space barriers will appear. What is it, what is its purpose, is it man-made or just an unavoidable natural disaster?

"Similar incidents have happened many times in various parts of the Star Alliance, including the Weilan Empire, but there have never been any survivors and there is no premature aging..." Yan An suddenly stopped while talking, and he looked at Mo Ye.

Mo Ye noticed Yan An's eyes, and also remembered that the reappearing starship of the Weilan Empire, the old and decayed corpse inside the starship, seemed to be a battleship that had passed through an unknown number of years.

It's not a disease, or a virus, or a Zerg, or an injury. What if it's just the speed of time?
