Chapter 292 Meat Mountain

After the two fleets of the Fifth Army and Zuo Jing finally entered the battle range of each other's cruiser-level warships.

The Fifth Army, which should have relied on the strength of its main battleships and subordinate fleets, did not launch a full-scale attack directly for some reason.

Instead, it chose to advance slowly.

The commander of the Fifth Army was very cautious, even a little too cautious.

He kept commanding the fleet at the edge of the battle line, showing his superb command skills, and made the Zuo Jing fleet, which did not have a good enough commander and was a mixed fleet, run around in circles.

The fleet of the Fifth Army could easily destroy a large number of mixed fleets.

The overall situation was also tilting towards the Fifth Army.

But the situation on this battlefield was somehow very tense.

The crushing situation was made extremely difficult by the Fifth Army.

And just when the subordinate ships of the Fifth Army fleet had almost beaten the number of Zuo Jing's subordinate ships.

They suddenly chose to retreat.

The Fifth Army had to regroup and did not choose to finish the battle in one wave.

From Chen Ming's perspective, it looked like the result would come out after a while.

The Fifth Army's losses were not that great.

Even if all the people on the fleet belonging to Zuo Jingfang were brainwashed, and all of them fought to the death.

The Fifth Army could not lose at all just by relying on the increasing exchange ratio, and it could not suffer much loss.

Even if Zuo Jing's Prometheus class wanted to resist Chen Ming, he did not believe that the Prometheus, a battleship originally intended for fuel and material transportation, could be better than an offensive class ship originally used by the army to resist the front line on a large-scale front battlefield after being modified by a ship engineer in a star field who was brainwashed by Zuo Jing.

Moreover, as far as Chen Ming knew, the Prometheus class was a battleship developed by governments of different star fields after being approved by the empire.

Its data must have been in the hands of relevant parties for a long time.

No matter how much such a ship is modified, the framework is there. Why should the army be afraid of such a ship?

But the Fifth Army did just that, and it looked like it did not dare to fight Prometheus head-on. .

Chen Ming could guess the reason.

Because just when the two fleets were exchanging fire.

Some of the small and medium-sized spacecraft belonging to the Fifth Legion bypassed the Prometheus-class protective net in combat mode and arrived at Yunluo Star from the other side of the planet.

When seeing this scene, Chen Ming had completely understood the Fifth Legion's idea.

It is obvious that the Fifth Legion's goal is not to deal with Zuo Jing's fleet, but to use Zuo Jing's fleet as another layer of protective net.

In this way, their own people can go to the surface of Yunluo Star, find Zuo Jing's recipient, and take the power from the recipient.

They have the ability to deal with Zuo Jing's fleet, but they just don't do it.

They want more.

Chen Ming was also a little uncomfortable at this time.

Because the Fifth Legion seemed to treat dimensional infection as something casual.

Obviously, the harm caused by dimensional infection has been placed in front of everyone, but there are still people who do some things that make people bleed in vain for this power that may not be obtained and may have extremely serious sequelae.

This makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Especially Chen Ming's goal from the beginning was to solve this trouble, not to seize that power.

He could have stayed out of this.

The Caimo Star Region is far away from his current location.

If he didn't come, no one would say anything, and no one would even think of him.

But he still came here because Zuo Jing created a dimensional infection, and using the power of dimensional infection might threaten the empire and the survival of the entire human race.

He traced the source all the way, provided intelligence to the president, found the source of Zuo Jing's trouble, and killed two important senior officials of Zuo Jing.

He was about to arrive in front of Zuo Jing's recipient, and was only one step away from solving this trouble.

He worked hard here.

As a result, someone behind him was not sober.

Even if the Fifth Army rushed over and destroyed the Zuo Jing fleet, and then the main weapons plowed the entire planet and killed An Wuping.

Chen Ming would not feel so bad now.

Even the Fifth Army was a little more direct, crushing Zuo Jing head-on, and then the fleet pressed into Yunluo in large numbers, showing an attitude of completely wiping out Zuo Jing.

Chen Ming would not have the same idea as now.

But the Fifth Army's approach really disappointed him.

At the same time, it also made him feel the same as when the president told him about this matter before.

Chen Ming finally couldn't help it, and the fake body of the Fourteenth Army immediately called the president and said, "President, I understand what you mean."

"The Fifth Army's main battleships were sent out to seize Zuo Jing's power, not to deal with Zuo Jing."

"But wasn't their original purpose to deal with it? Are there already disagreements within the Fifth Legion?"

When the president heard this question, he stopped sorting out the documents and said to Chen Ming attentively: "They did have disagreements."

"Because they suffered heavy losses in this operation."

"Zuo Jing should have started planning this recent matter a long time ago. As the nearest independent legion with a base in the nearby star field, the Fifth Legion was naturally targeted by Zuo Jing's brainwashed psychic."

"Your fleets are all near several key star systems, and you should be able to see how heavy their losses are."

"They need compensation, so they want to seize the power of dimensional infection."

"You have also seen what Zuo Jing's psychic can do after he has certain abilities,"

"If this ability can be obtained by the Fifth Legion, then they may even rely on that person to become a legion on par with the Fourteenth Legion."

"So they did it, and even forbade others to intervene, including me."

Chen Ming still felt something was wrong, because he remembered that the president said before he went to do business that he was going to deal with this matter in Caimo Star Field.

The reason why the president could temporarily put aside his support for the Fifth Army and go to work was either because the Fifth Army took the initiative to ask the president to stop temporarily, or because of the Empire's request.

After returning, the Empire classified this incident as a rebellion, which proves that it was the Empire that called the president over, and the Fifth Army was definitely involved.

What is the Empire's attitude?

"The Empire just let the Fifth Legion do it?"

"The Empire's attitude is to wait and see."

The president said: "Because now, the location of the psychic in Zuo Jing who is mastering the power of dimensional infection has been determined. It is in the Luxi galaxy, Yunluo Star."

"Since the location has been confirmed, there are already several psychics at the same level as me and Wu An who are watching there."

"They are confident that they can take action to solve the problem when necessary."

"Now this matter is no longer something we can interfere with."

"It was the Empire that acquiesced to the Fifth Legion using ordinary people on the entire planet and those psychics on it in exchange for a dimensional infection power controlled by the Empire."

"I don't want to say anything, but I can only say that the power of dimensional infection is definitely not something that can be easily controlled."

"The power of dimensional infection is really too strong. Even if this power can only act on a large range and cannot enhance the psychic effect, it doesn't matter. It has its value to the Empire."

"You should know that Yuhui has no resistance to anything related to psychic power, right?"

Chen Ming was very clear about the president's point.

For Yu Hui, any kind of spiritual stone, psychic fluctuation, even if it is neutral, even if it is only very weak, will cause a bunch of redundant data to be added to the logic code running by Yu Hui as long as it is exposed.

If there is a psychic who can apply psychic fluctuations to Yu Hui's territory, except Chen Ming himself, then this psychic may also be fatal to Yu Hui.

Such a psychic may be able to solve Yu Hui, one of the main enemies of the empire at present.

This is the reason why the empire is willing to watch and let the Fifth Legion seize this power.

Even if Chen Ming is sitting in the chair of the empire, he has to seriously consider this power.

Of course, Chen Ming will never gamble in the end.

The reason is also very simple.

"What if it fails? Don't they know what the consequences of failure will be?"

The president's mental state is almost the same as Chen Ming's at this time. He said to Chen Ming: "Of course they know, so they will prepare psychics with sufficient ability as the final insurance."

"What if it can't be solved? The psychic with brainwashing ability in Zuo Jing has the power of dimensional infection, and the entire empire may be brainwashed."

"They said there will be a deadline, and they will take action directly when the deadline is reached, and will not give Zuo Jing a chance to continue."

"Just this one sentence?"

"Just this one sentence, not everyone has awe for dimensional infection."

To be honest, Chen Ming can't accept this situation.

If it was a normal situation, he might really accept it, and he might really believe that the empire can definitely solve Zuo Jing's troubles.

But the attitude shown by the Fifth Legion made him lose trust in the Fifth Legion.

He didn't even trust the Empire.

"Is there no one who can stop it?"

The president's words were full of helplessness: "Who else can come? I can't go, Wu An can't go, and our Psychic Society has been excluded."

"Unless you think Hu Yi can solve this problem, it seems that there is really no one in the Luxi galaxy who can solve the problem"

"Hu Yi has already arrived in Luxi?"

"Yes, he has been a traitor, and his identity is still a member of Zuojing in the eyes of others, but do you really want to count on him?"

"Then forget it."

The boss had said before that when Hu Yi was impersonated by Zuo Jing to assassinate him, the first person he went to was the president, so it was normal for the president to know that Hu Yi had gone to Zuo Jing to be a traitor.

But Chen Ming was very worried about Hu Yi's ability.

There was nothing wrong with his psychic power, but for some reason he couldn't think straight when doing things.

Chen Ming seriously suspected that his IQ was converted into entropy and used up by him.

Although the boss had been guiding him, the effect didn't seem to be very ideal.

Anyway, Chen Ming couldn't trust Hu Yi.

The president was the same.

So the president just mentioned it casually, and then thought about whether there was any way to directly solve Zuo Jing's troubles instead of letting the Fifth Legion gamble on the possibility of snatching power from Zuo Jing.

He soon thought of another person.

"Actually, there is another person who might be able to help, An Wuping."

"An Wuping..."

The mess in Chen Ming's mind suddenly seemed to be sorted out.

Yes, why should he consider others?

Since he can solve this problem by himself, why should he rely on others?

The people of the Fifth Legion came later than him, and he was fully capable of completely solving the dimensional infection before they arrived and before they tried to obtain the power of dimensional infection.

The president didn't notice anything unusual about Chen Ming, and continued to say, "An Wuping's strength is a little bit weaker, but at least his goal has always been to deal with Zuo Jing."

"Plus, he has been missing for the past few years, and there is no way to find him. There must be no way to get intelligence, and he won't know the way Zuo Jing spread to seize the power of dimensional infection."

"The news of his fight with Zuo Jing in the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower has spread. The Fifth Legion should pay special attention to that place, and many people will go there soon. I don't know what the situation will be like there."

"There's really no other way."

"Then let it be."

Chen Ming hung up the phone in a hurry, stopped the work on the original body and the prosthesis, and put all his efforts into An Wuping.

Sure enough, no matter what the matter is, he still has to rely on himself in the end.

As long as he kills the recipient, the Fifth Legion's idea of ​​using the power of dimensional infection will naturally fall through.

The threat from the Zuo Jing psychic who has completely obtained the power of dimensional infection will no longer exist.

Those who have not experienced dimensional infection personally are not worthy and cannot use this power well.

And anyone who has experienced it, as long as they are not crazy or stupid, can see the horror of this power and will not try to get infected.

So Chen Ming must completely eliminate this power here.

Before the arrival of the psychics of the Fifth Legion.

Chen Ming made up his mind.

Continue to move underground.

At this time, he gradually felt that the surrounding environment began to become hot, and the mental pressure on him became heavier.

Finally.

After breaking a layer of the underground isolation layer of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.

A barrier made of flesh and blood appeared in front of Chen Ming.

And after tearing this barrier apart.

Below it, there was a huge mountain of meat.

He finally found his target.

Chen Ming had some content in the research report on dimensional infection released by Zuo Jing in his mind.

When the dimensional infection occurred, Zuo Jing immediately cut off the deformed tissue and transplanted it to a psychic who was undergoing the experiment.

After triggering the power of the dimensional infection, he has become a huge meat mountain monster that now blocks the underground of the power supply tower.

Just as Chen Ming discovered the meat mountain.

A large amount of psychic fluctuations all rushed to Chen Ming. The psychic effect from the recipient was enough to affect An Wuping in his current state.

It caused An Wuping's perception to have a significant deviation.

Everything became distorted and frenzied under An Wuping's perspective.

The whole world was filled with disgusting flesh and blood. Only outside the power supply tower was a pure land and a way out. The recipient wanted to induce An Wuping to leave here.

Even Chen Ming himself was affected.

Chen Ming's cognition was wrong.

The meat mountain in front of him was no longer what it was before, but a mass of rotten flesh and blood that was about to decay. It only took a light blow to kill it.

Even though he was staring at the huge meat mountain a second ago, he still didn't realize the difference.

Of course Chen Ming didn't fall for it.

He found the problem within a few seconds after being affected.

Because the Queen's consciousness and Chen Ming's consciousness had been carried together because of the condensation of spiritual energy.

When Chen Ming's main consciousness was concentrated on An Wuping, the Queen's consciousness naturally came here, and the Zerg hive consciousness headed by the Queen was of course attached to An Wuping.

Chen Ming didn't know how many bugs the Queen of Insects had now, but it was definitely more than the population of an ordinary colony planet.

This amount of consciousness could not be brainwashed.

The Queen of Insects just resisted the attack from the recipient.

Since the Queen of Insects found the problem, it was equivalent to Chen Ming finding the problem.

Chen Ming could fully observe the real situation in reality through the Queen of Insects' consciousness perspective, and was not affected at all.

Moreover, Chen Ming also discovered a special situation.

This huge meat mountain can "breathe".

To be precise, it is not breathing, but it is doing a similar breathing action.

Just when the meat mountain released psychic fluctuations to him, the meat mountain entered the exhalation state, and the overall psychic fluctuations would show a special and difficult-to-control feature.

And at the moment when this wave of psychic fluctuations gradually dissipated, the meat mountain entered the inhalation state again, and the psychic fluctuations stabilized again. If you don't observe carefully, Chen Ming even really thought that this meat mountain was just a meat mountain without any psychic fluctuations.

The state of this meat mountain constantly changes between the active state of exhalation and the gentle state of inhalation.

Just like the psychic fluctuations of the recipient and the tropical climate, they have an unstable active period and a stable period.

When the psychic fluctuations of the recipient are in the active period, not only will his psychic fluctuations become frantic, but it will also cause some sequelae that Chen Ming finds very familiar.

Just now, the psychic fluctuations of the meat mountain surged out.

Chen Ming noticed that several psychics outside the power tower who were fighting with other psychics, who must be psychics from Zuo Jing, suddenly exploded.

The explosion without any warning, they were all blown into a ball of blood mist, and all the psychics fighting outside, no matter which side they belonged to, were shocked.

The death of these psychics can be said to be exactly the same as Lou Wei's death, and the death of these people, like Lou Wei's death, gave him the feeling of close contact with the dimensional infection.

After combining this scene he saw with his own eyes and the problems he found from the meat mountain.

Chen Ming also completely understood the real cause of Lou Wei's death.

Obviously, the power of dimensional infection is not easy to control.

It causes the recipient's psychic power to have intermittent problems and enter an active period.

During the active period, whenever the recipient uses psychic power, a psychic wave with the breath of dimensional infection and not easily detected will go to where it should not go, that is, the outside world, to affect other people controlled by his psychic power.

To kill them and explode them into blood mist.

For Zuo Jing, this sequelae is nothing at all, just a few people. With so many people under their control, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen to some important people by chance.

Even if it is possible, they may have some other means to protect themselves.

And those ordinary people don't need to care at all.

Anyway, there will be no residual psychic fluctuations in such a release, and there is no way to suspect them, Zuo Jing.

At most, it will be regarded as a rare phenomenon or a special disease.

Who would have thought that the victim of the recipient's use of psychic power during the active period would be Lou Wei in front of Chen Ming?

And follow this logic.

No wonder Chen Ming had no feeling at all when he saw the recipient last time.

The recipient should have been in the stable period when they met last time, so Chen Ming failed to detect the problem, resulting in him letting the culprit run away even though he had contacted him.

But this time, Chen Ming will not let the recipient run away again.

At present, it seems that Zuo Jing wants to delay time so that the recipient can adjust the stable period and active period.

Let the stable period be longer than the active period. When the recipient is completely left with only the active period, everything will probably end.

But since Chen Ming has come here, he obviously will not give the recipient a chance to continue to maintain the stable period.

After resisting a round of mental attacks from the recipient, Chen Ming jumped down from the gap torn by the flesh and blood barrier.

This time, Chen Ming did not condense plasma, but rushed into the meat mountain with his strong body.

The wild force continued to smash the meat and penetrated deeper into it.

The controlled energy tower had already displayed the specific size of the meat mountain in front of him.

The meat mountain that he smashed with his punches also told him the strength of the meat mountain.

As long as he could reach the core of the meat mountain.

Then all he had to do was calculate and calculate the appropriate amount of plasma.

Since he already knew the formula and had the ability to calculate the formula.

Then the answer was obvious.

Chaofan had already completed the calculation and provided the data to Chen Ming.

This time, the plasma equivalent that could be used deep underground was three times the amount of plasma that Chen Ming had originally intended to use to send away the Thousand Faces' mind-running entity.

The ball of light appeared in Chen Ming's palm again.

The surrounding flesh mountains have begun to be annihilated by the aftermath of the plasma.

This pure plasma aggregate, this dazzling annihilation light, will bring the recipient into his own grave.

The threat of death is imminent.

As a pure psychic, the recipient has no way to stop Chen Ming in terms of physical combat ability.

There is only one thing he can do.

Release a huge amount of mental power, and pull Chen Ming into the final battlefield for the battle between psychics at a face-to-face distance.

Consciousness space.
