Chapter 396 Emergency Measures

At this time, Chen Ming felt extremely overwhelmed when facing the closed space barrier.

He really didn't expect that the current situation would be reversed.

It was his turn to tear the space rift from the scarlet dimension to the normal universe.

And the existence in the scarlet wanted to completely close the space rift and completely trap Chen Ming here.

Although he didn't need to think about repairing the space barrier between the scarlet dimension and the phase space.

Next, as long as he could return to the phase space, he could return to the normal universe and solve the problem of the scarlet invasion.

Then the question came.

How could he break through the restrictions of the scarlet, tear the space barrier, and return to the normal universe in this situation where his connection with the normal universe was almost disconnected and he could not use the resources he had accumulated?

How could he tear the space barrier when he was in the scarlet and under great mental pressure?

And...

Chen Ming glanced in front of the scavenger who could no longer continue to burn the blue-purple flame. There was a big eyeball staring at him.

Although the big eyeball did not cause any real harm to him just now, he had quickly adapted to the pure mental attack since his mind was severely damaged last time.

As for the subsequent collision of the Scarlet Eye, there was no obvious effect either, at most it just smashed some of the scavenger's structures.

The damage caused by the scavenger to the Scarlet Eye was much greater than the damage it caused to the scavenger.

But this does not mean that he has a great advantage.

Because he is now in someone else's home court.

Chen Ming even suspected that the brainwashed psychic had carefully designed the scavenger to repel the Scarlet Eye and enter the Scarlet Dimension.

How could he escape from the Scarlet Eye while being hunted by the Scarlet Eye?

Chen Ming had no time to think about it, because the Scarlet Eye had once again turned its corrupting gaze on him.

Its blood-red pupils reflected the scarlet world, the body of the scavenger, and Chen Ming who was at the control panel inside the scavenger's structure.

At this time, the gaze of the Scarlet Purpose brought Chen Ming a heavier pressure than when he entered the Scarlet Dimension before.

The physical strength of the creatures in the Scarlet Dimension is not particularly outstanding, but the psychic power and scarlet power they possess are the most terrifying.

This unavoidable mental pressure from visual attacks can be dealt with when Chen Ming has the resources of the normal universe.

But at this moment, Chen Ming only felt that his mental power recovery speed could not keep up with the speed of consumption.

His total mental power and mental power recovery speed usually have a huge increase from the hive mind network.

What allows him to enter the Scarlet for a long time is the support of the mental power limit so that he will not be directly consumed by the Scarlet.

Then he relies on the huge mental power recovery speed that exists at all times to ensure that the consumption can keep up.

But at this time, his connection with the two hive mind networks is almost zero.

The hive mind network has become a pure decoration.

Although Chen Ming's total mental power has not decreased due to the weakening of the connection, his mental power recovery speed is like an ant crawling compared to the previous rocket-like speed.

He couldn't delay in the scarlet and the scarlet eyes.

If he delayed a little longer, his mental power would be exhausted and used up.

When his mental power was exhausted, he would die.

Facing the crisis of death in person and manually commanding and operating the fleet to fight were different experiences.

Especially since it was the first time for Chen Ming to fight in such a disadvantageous environment.

Such a situation really made him extremely nervous... and excited.

Although the effect of adrenaline on his consciousness was basically equal to zero.

But Chen Ming still felt a sudden sense of excitement.

And the situation was even worse.

The particularity of the scarlet dimension itself.

In the scarlet dimension, there was no direct concept of time and space. Everything was chaotic and there was no object to refer to.

It was like the existence of a quantum state. Only when it was observed would it collapse and become a temporarily stable space.

This was also the reason why the scarlet dimension could not accurately locate the position of the empire, unless there was a clone as an anchor to determine the position between the two dimensions.

If the scarlet dimension fails to connect with the normal universe and open a channel that serves as an anchor point, chaos will fill this space all the time.

For example, the place where Chen Ming just tore open the space rift.

Even if he tore open the space rift from this position now, it may not lead to a certain place in a certain dimension.

Chen Ming does not want to know what is in the black hole dimension or other dimensions hidden deeper.

But fortunately, his psychic power is still working, and his connection with the normal universe has not been completely severed.

He can faintly sense that the things that belong to him are randomly and discretely moving in some corners of some other dimension that is in contact with the scarlet dimension.

As long as Chen Ming can find those key nodes and tear open the space rifts in these places, he can return to the normal universe.

Chen Ming quickly thought about his current situation.

He controlled the scavenger to turn around and run.

He could not fight the Scarlet Eye head-on in the scarlet dimension. All he could do was to stay away as much as possible.

The special nature of the Scarlet Dimension makes it difficult to return directly from the Scarlet Dimension to the normal universe, and its spatial chaos also allows Chen Ming to escape in disguise.

Any spatial uncertainty in the Scarlet Dimension will make Chen Ming, who is in this space, instantly appear in the Scarlet Dimension in a place where he doesn't even know where he ran to.

It is quite a long distance to be able to quickly get rid of the Scarlet Eye.

It is not quite appropriate to say that it is a distance, because the space in the Scarlet Dimension is chaotic and the distance is meaningless.

And even if you get rid of it farther, as long as Chen Ming dares to stay for a while, the Scarlet Eye can still catch up and haunt him.

The Scarlet has already locked Chen Ming, and no matter how he escapes in the Scarlet, he can't get rid of the tracking of the native creatures that exist in the Scarlet.

Even if Chen Ming has tried his best to run, the Scarlet Eye can still suddenly emerge from a chaotic space after countless times of getting rid of it and get on Chen Ming's face.

Chen Ming can only continue to run with the pressure from the spirit.

The huge pressure made it difficult for him to suppress his emotions, which had calmed down.

He really wanted to turn around and fight with Scarlet Eye, but he knew that doing so would make it even more impossible for him to survive.

He could only keep running.

And while running, he had to maintain a high degree of mental concentration and pay close attention to the connection nodes in the normal universe that could appear around him at any time.

He could only leave after seizing these nodes that were scattered chaotically in the scarlet due to the distortion of time and space.

Even though Chen Ming was controlling the scavenger to run, with the outer protection of the scavenger and the additional support in terms of movement, he did not need to use more mental power.

At this time, the steel jungle in his consciousness space had begun to rust.

This was the manifestation of his real loss of the most essential part of his mental power.

And there was something worse happening.

The fuel in the scavenger he controlled was exhausted.

The scavenger was able to suppress the scarlet in the space rift before, relying on the continuous supply of artificial phase matter provided by Chen Ming using psychic energy.

After the space rift was closed, the scavenger had already lost its comprehensive energy supply.

As the last bit of fuel was exhausted.

Most of the scavenger's functions shut down by themselves, and it could only slow down slowly in the scarlet dimension.

Even if the scavenger already had nearly half of his flesh and blood body at this time, it would be difficult to continue after losing the energy supply.

At this time, Chen Ming could no longer hold on to the scavenger.

He could only choose to abandon it and continue to move forward alone.

Fortunately, Chen Ming sent out the nano forge that could build an industrial colony on its own before bringing the scavenger in, so that his loss would at least not be that great.

Next, he could only rely on biological armor to continue to play fast pursuit with the Scarlet Eye in the Scarlet.

It's a pity that he was the one who killed a bunch of entities created by the Scarlet and was finally hunted down.

Without the convenience of the vehicle, the flexibility of the biological armor itself has indeed increased a lot.

But in the Scarlet, the speed that can rely on the distorted time and space to generate a practical distance is the most important.

But Chen Ming could do nothing now. He could only start the biological engine of the armor and continue to approach the nodes in his psychic perception.

But as his speed decreased, the speed of Scarlet Eyes' tracking became faster and faster, and the efficiency became higher and higher.

Before, it might take about ten minutes in Chen Ming's body perception for Scarlet Eyes to catch up once, so he needed a burst of engine output power to get rid of it.

But now it only takes five minutes for Scarlet Eyes to appear behind him.

Obviously, the biological armor loses much less speed than the scavenger, but Scarlet Eyes can get behind him faster than before.

Chen Ming could only use psychic power again and again to make the biological armor burst out faster to escape.

Finally, after supporting the physical perception time for nearly an hour, he sensed a node in the nearby scarlet dimension space that was connected to the normal universe.

Chen Ming didn't know when this node would disappear due to the time and space disorder of the scarlet dimension, but he knew that this was his closest chance to leave the scarlet dimension.

While the speed of the spiritual energy burst had not yet dissipated, Chen Ming quickly approached the space according to his own perception.

Fortunately, he did not become farther away from the actual distance of this space due to the distortion of space in the process.

He really arrived at this space.

Chen Ming immediately tried, he gathered the spiritual energy in his hand, stretched it forward, and pierced into the space in front of him.

He clenched his fingers into claws and clawed hard.

A faint scratch was left in front of him, suspended in the scarlet void.

Although the scratch was only half the size of a person, Chen Ming could not continue to tear the space crack too large at this time, causing additional mental power loss.

The stability of this space was immediately affected, but it was still a long way from being torn.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand again, wanting to do the most with the least mental burden.

But his mental power was still consumed much more than he expected.

Moreover, the rate of consumption continued to rise.

It was not that the consumption of tearing the space continued to increase, but that the Scarlet Eyes circled over again like a vulture that found a dying animal.

Chen Ming gritted his teeth, concentrated all the spiritual energy he could mobilize under the current limit on his arms, and forcibly broke a small piece of space barrier the size of a fingernail in front of the Scarlet Eyes.

Behind this space barrier was a blue-purple space.

Chen Ming did not have time to escape through this gap.

Because this gap was too small to accommodate Chen Ming's complete consciousness.

And just as he opened the gap, countless scarlet substances poured into the gap by themselves, and completely sealed the gap under the influence of the Scarlet Eyes.

Usually, destruction is easier than repair, but this is obviously not the case now.

Chen Ming could only give up this opportunity and continue to evacuate.

As long as the Scarlet Eyes were still tracking him, it would not allow him to tear the space.

Even if the mental attack cannot affect Chen Ming's behavior explosively in a short period of time, its physical impact and blocking can destroy Chen Ming's space tearing operation.

It doesn't need to cause much damage, as long as it can knock Chen Ming away and prevent Chen Ming from stably contacting a space for a long time, its purpose will be achieved.

Chen Ming must solve this problem, otherwise he will definitely not tear enough space to accommodate his consciousness.

With the amount of mental power he currently has, he can still have at most two chances.

If he is unlucky enough to not touch the node connected to the normal universe, then as time goes by, he may only have one chance left, or he may never have another chance.

Chen Ming is a little nervous, but not panicked.

Anyway, the worst result is nothing more than death. Doing things calmly will give you the greatest possibility of survival.

He is thinking about how he can avoid being hunted down again, and how he can tear the space barrier most efficiently.

He is thinking about how he can turn the tables.

As Chen Ming continued to wander along the nodes of perception in the scarlet, he suddenly noticed that the scarlet substance in the surrounding environment had undergone subtle changes.

If the scarlet substance just now gave him a mental pressure of being watched all the time.

Then the scarlet substances he touched at this time gave him a kind of confusion in his thinking. All the things he thought about would inevitably be affected by this substance, resulting in the illusion of distorted flesh and blood in his thinking.

The content of thinking is an illusion, but the feeling that makes Chen Ming's thinking content appear illusion is not an illusion.

He seemed to have come to the territory of another scarlet creature without knowing it.

Chen Ming immediately had an idea in his mind.

He immediately changed his direction of travel according to the concentration of the scarlet substance.

No matter what this scarlet creature is and what position it has, he must go over to take a look. This is an opportunity.

Anyway, even if this new scarlet creature is an enemy, it will not affect his continued escape.

But if it can conflict with the Scarlet Eye, it will be the best result.

Chen Ming's actions seemed to make Scarlet Eye feel troubled. It once again accelerated its speed, and the efficiency of catching up with Chen Ming in this chaotic space and time was improved again.

Such changes made Chen Ming feel that there was hope, and he hurriedly went further in the direction that made the chaotic thoughts in his brain more serious.

Soon, a sense of danger appeared in his consciousness. .

The new scarlet creature had noticed his existence.

And it was approaching rapidly.

Chen Ming seemed to have guessed what this new scarlet creature would look like.

But he didn't care.

Because he once again used the speed of the psychic to make the armor burst to the limit and escaped from the tracking of the Scarlet Eye, and found a node leading to the normal universe for the second time.

Even if he was being hunted, Chen Ming must not miss this opportunity.

The scarlet dimension was too random. Even if he had special perception, he could not confirm whether he could go to the area where he sensed the node in the chaotic space and time.

He must try to seize every opportunity to try.

Especially at this time when there are unexpected events.

Chen Ming's right arm was once again wrapped with the spiritual energy fluctuations that tore the space, and once again tried to tear the space.

The crack in the space appeared again, and a force from the phase space behind the crack also tried to break through the limitations of the space barrier from the originally closed and solid phase space, unprecedentedly, and bring Chen Ming out.

Chen Ming could feel that his mental power had been almost consumed.

The two chances that he thought there would be originally only had this one chance.

He no longer had any other chances to tear the space crack.

He had to take advantage of now to solve all the troubles in one go.

Take advantage of this brief moment of peace.

Chen Ming suddenly took out several metal blocks that looked only the size of a palm from the inside of the power armor.

And all the remaining spiritual energy was applied to these metal blocks.

The metal liquid overflowed from the metal blocks and condensed behind Chen Ming, forming two weapons like floating guns that were more than ten meters long.

The muzzle of the floating gun opened, and several blue-purple split laser beams swept across Chen Ming's body.

Although it failed to completely clear all the scarlet matter, it also gave Chen Ming a chance to breathe.

This weapon was not brought by Chen Ming from the normal universe.

It was something he always carried with him.

Chen Ming had previously considered how to use his psychic power if he lost his material storage one day.

Of course, it was not the current situation of being disconnected from the normal universe, which was really beyond his expectations.

He just thought about some emergency measures in an emergency.

And it happened to be used now.

Chen Ming actually just used the control of psychic power over these materials to compress the volume of some common and frequently used materials to the extreme and carry them with him.

Although compressing hundreds of cubic meters of materials to a portable level will definitely cause them to change in nature due to problems with the internal particle structure.

And the quality of the compressed materials is also a very important issue to consider.

But Chen Ming's control over materials is the earliest effect of his psychic power, and his psychic power is least afraid of damage.

He only needs to use the most basic psychic effect, repair.

He can repair the materials damaged by excessive compression to their original state.

And take the opportunity to use these few materials to make some special targeted weapons.

For example, the two current ones, the Orangutans.

This name is a bit of Chen Ming's bad taste.

This weapon is actually a weapon developed from the digestive organs of the corpse of the Phase Beast Chieftain some time ago. It is a weapon specifically used to target the scarlet.

In the early stage of Chen Ming's battleship project development, the weapon system of the battleship first ruled out the idea of ​​using the original weapons of the phase beasts, that is, their digestive organs.

Because the digestive system of the phase beasts is too targeted.

And this joke is not like Chen Ming's absorption, digestion, understanding, and becoming part of his own power.

The digestion of the phase beasts is digestion in the true sense, and they don't care what is in these scarlet substances.

They are really just eating.

Except for the dead phase beast chieftain who was truly affected by the scarlet and possessed some power, the other phase beasts just used the scarlet as food.

Such weapons transformed from digestive organs are meaningless in the design of Chen Ming's battleship and are not suitable as universal weapons.

But they are still useful.

It just so happened that a bunch of people contributed to Chen Ming's project before, so Chen Ming divided some organ materials that were not important for the design of the spacecraft.

Of course, the organs were also divided.

The research company that was assigned to the digestive organs came up with this thing during this period.

This is something Chen Ming knows very well, after all, he and the president are the only ones who deal with the entire empire and Scarlet.

Chen Ming paid a lot of attention to this weapon as soon as it appeared, and he also took advantage of the first test of the weapon to optimize it.

It just so happened that the Star Devourer was killed by him during that period, so Chen Ming directly called this weapon that digests Scarlet the Orangutan.

Those who don't know it still think it's an orangutan, but in fact, it has been clearly stated that it is currently the best weapon against Scarlet in the entire empire.

It can be as small as a single-soldier handheld rifle, or as large as it can be directly installed on a capital ship.

It can also use two modes to release a cone jet of concentrated firepower, or be split into several laser-state material jets.

The material composition of these jets is similar to the material used by the phase beast to digest the scarlet.

It can be mass-produced by using the medium of the phase space and some materials in the normal space environment.

At this time, with the help of the ape eater, Chen Ming successfully tore open a whole crack.

But at the same time.

A giant brain also appeared behind him.

Chen Ming turned his head and looked.

There was a bottomless crack between the left and right hemispheres of the giant brain.

A small shadow suddenly appeared in the crack.

It was the figure of the brainwashed psychic.
