The base has wisdom, but it has no ability to speak. It cannot answer Su Yu, so it can only communicate with thoughts and express with actions. The surface of the Blood Pool is calm, but there is an abnormal movement at the edge, like boiling water, constantly boiling and bubbling.
This abnormal edge is exactly where something floated out of the Blood Pool and was placed on the edge of the pool.
Such obvious movement, coupled with the subtle thoughts of the Zerg base in the sea of consciousness, a somewhat outrageous guess emerged in Su Yu's heart. The base will not disobey his orders, the only 'foreign object' that can approach the Blood Pool is Northfield who came with him, so the smal small ball thrown up by the Blood Pool just now can't really be...
"..." Su Yu was silent.
In fact, he should have reacted to this point just now, but Northfield and this... The size difference is too big, the appearance has completely changed. Su Yu subconsciously separated the two images, and didn't react until he was reminded by the Zerg base. He was a little absent-minded and remembered that in addition to the human form, the high-level Zerg also had the most basic Zerg form.
While thinking, Su Yu had already walked to the side of the small ball of 'foreign object', half squatted down, stared at it silently for a minute or two, then hesitantly stretched out his hand: "Northfield?"
While calling, he pushed the little white ball, the skin in contact with it felt a strange touch, silky, fluffy, soft, there was no analogy. If you have to describe it, it's like a small cloud that has materialized.
Northfield's Zerg appearance, is actually like this?
It's a little... Okay ba, not a little, it should be completely beyond Su Yu's expectations.
The little white ball lay quietly on the ground, allowing Su Yu to look at it. Whether he was touched or called, he had no reaction.
Su Yu's curiosity faded, his expression changed slightly, a bad guess came to his mind.
Ignoring nothing else, he reached out and scooped up the little white ball on the ground into his palm. It felt even softer and more comfortable than before, but Su Yu didn't pay attention to it.
Su Yu had no means of healing, such as healing pills and potions. He had no way to give it to Northfield now. He had no idea where to start. He could only hold the little white ball, separate a few strands of fine mental power, and carefully stimulate the little white ball.
The slight attack of mental power did not stimulate the little white ball, but it strangely connected to Northfield's mental power. Su Yu was slightly startled. This feeling? Turning to look at his sea of consciousness, as expected, there was an extra weak consciousness point, it was bright and dim, flickering.
Is this considered assimilation success, or assimilation failure?
Until Northfield wakes up, there will be no conclusion on this matter.
Fortunately, whether it is successful or not, Su Yu can put aside his worries at the moment. Although the consciousness is connected, it is a little weak, but he can still use it to identify Northfield's current state.
He just went into hibernation, no other problems.
Su Yu was more or less relieved, it was a false alarm.
The assimilation has come to an end for the time being, and next, just need to wait patiently.
...
At night, Su Yu returned to the residence, Huan Meng and Liu Guang were there, the two high-level Zerg noticed something strange at a glance, the two looked at each other obscurely, Northfield didn't know where he went, he didn't follow the King. It's really... a good thing!!!
Liu Guang, who had practiced cooking skills, showed off his skills, four dishes and one soup with good color, fragrance and taste, ordinary home-cooked dishes, all of which were Su Yu's preferred tastes, and also took into account the problem that Su Yu didn't have a big appetite, so the amount of food in each dish was not much, which was extremely considerate.
"King?" Huan Meng noticed that Su Yu was holding something in his hand, which made it inconvenient for him to do something, so she took the initiative to say, "Please let me hold it for you."
Su Yu rejected Huan Meng's kindness, and Huan Meng didn't think much of it. She just thought that Su Yu liked the plush toy (?) in his hand, and thought that if King liked this kind of thing, she could find more of them, or weave a plush fantasy world to satisfy King's preferences.
After dinner, Liu Guang took care of everything else.
Huan Meng also went to the kitchen, when she came out again, she had a plate of cut fruit in her hand. She walked in front of Su Yu with a light and cheerful step: "King~ Fruits!"
Su Yu responded lightly without looking up.
Huan Meng's expression did not change, but her emotions sank suddenly. She was not angry at Su Yu's simple response, but she felt worried. How could King's mood become like this after not seeing him for a while when she went to cut some fruits?
She couldn't help asking, "Are you unhappy ma?"
"No." Su Yu.
"Is there something wrong ma? You can tell us, we will solve it for you."
Su Yu wanted to shake his head and tell Huan Meng that this matter could not be solved casually, but he did not want to discourage Huan Meng's good intentions, so he said nothing. But the girl looked at him curiously again. After thinking about it, Su Yu searched for information about the evolutionary frenzy on his mobile phone and handed it to Huan Meng.
"Evolutionary frenzy, virus, infection, living dead?"
After reading these contents quickly and simply, she found that it was not a big deal, at least for the Zergs, it was a trivial matter. Huan Meng's frown relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly comforted Su Yu: "King is worried about infection? You can rest assured, there is no virus that can infect Zerg!"
It can't infect the Zerg, but it can infect humans. This is what Su Yu is worried about.
Su Yu sighed slightly in his heart, but was not surprised by this development.
He knew that although the Zerg were cute and obedient in front of him, in fact, the real Zerg were indifferent even tyrannical. The relationship between the same race was mostly a relationship of obedience between superiors and subordinates, without deeper feelings.
This was the case for the same race, let alone other intelligent life forms outside the Zerg.
But Su Yu cared. He grew up on Earth, especially China, which meant a lot to him... If the situation continued to be so bad, Earth civilization might not be able to survive this evolutionary frenzy, the ending would be obvious.
He felt a little annoyed, he kneaded the white ball in his hand unconsciously. It still had that strange soft feel, which slightly soothed his annoyance. At this moment, Su Yu actually missed Northfield a little. If it was Northfield, he would definitely understand his mood at the moment.
Maybe he could provide some help. After all, the Zerg civilization had joined the Interstellar Alliance for a much longer time than Earth civilization.
Another day passed, a small team came to Congshui Mountain Range. In addition to the official personnel of China, there were also people from the Chalk civilization. They came to escort things, these things were exactly the apology gifts that the Chalk princess said when she left.
These things were transported to Congshui Mountain Range and moved into the house with Su Yu's permission.
After checking the things and making sure that nothing was left out, the people of the Chalk civilization bowed respectfully to Su Yu then left, but the official personnel of China did not leave with them.
"What's the matter?" Su Yu asked them.
"Comrade Su Yu, please take a look at this and fill it out carefully." As he said, the official took out a prepared form and handed it to Su Yu.
Read the form carefully from beginning to end.
Su Yu looked a little puzzled: "What does this mean? Is it sent by the Interstellar Tournament official?" This form is a bit similar to the wish list sent by the Interstellar Tournament official before the Shang Yuan Secret Realm game. If the contestants do not want to participate, they can temporarily withdraw from the game by ticking the corresponding option.
"No, it's not the Interstellar Tournament official." The Chinese official shook his head and explained: "The development of the evolutionary frenzy is getting faster and faster, it is difficult to suppress, and the scope of influence is also increasing... In addition, the virus has strange mutations, the difficulty of the Interstellar Tournament has increased, so the higher-ups have decided to restrain the superpower users to prevent emergencies."
Hearing this, Su Yu remembered the hot post he saw on the Blue Water Forum last night.
#Folks, there is a good news and a bad news, let me tell you.#
#LZ: Let me tell you the bad news first ba. The virus of the evolution frenzy has mutated. As for how it mutated, I don't know if you have seen zombie movies. Yes, that's right, the final mutation may be the living dead... Well, it's a rumor, you can believe it or not, anyway, if you are infected, you must report it to the hospital!#
#1L: This post made me stupid.#
...
#28L: Don't scare me, thank you, I like to watch it, but it doesn't mean I want to experience it immersively! ! !#
#29L: Don't spread rumors a, how can you take things in movies and novels seriously? !#
…
#41L: But the spiritual energy has been revived and connected to the interstellar space, what is impossible…#
…
#66L: I was only stuck for three seconds, and you actually stacked so many layers! Stop, I'm not here to create panic! Listen to the good news a! The good news is that my flower family[1] has worked hard and developed a great treasure! The secret book of cultivating immortals a! Not only can it be practiced by superpowers, but ordinary people can also practice it! It is estimated that my flower will start to promote it soon!#
Su Yu broke away from the memory of last night.
The words of the Chinese official staff, 'the virus has strange mutations', prove that the bad news mentioned by the host is very likely, so what about the secret book of cultivating immortals in the good news ne? Su Yu cares about this matter, so he simply asked directly.
"Comrade Su Yu also knows about this?" The official was surprised. He lowered his head and sighed: "This matter... I shouldn't say it, but since Comrade Su Yu asked, I can't not answer it. Please don't spread this matter after Comrade Su Yu knows it."
The good news is true. Other than that, everything else is false. With the large number of cultivation secrets handed over by Su Yu, China sent a special team to study it privately. After so long, it finally has results. The problem is that there are big defects. The research team is working hard to make up for it. At this stage, it cannot be promoted.
"About this matter, it has spread on the Internet." Su Yu reminded.
Hearing this, the Chinese official smiled bitterly: "This is what the country did on purpose."
"The post on the Blue Water Forum...?" Su Yu.
The Chinese official nodded: "It should also be issued by the state."
The virus began to mutate and develop into the zombies in the movie... If this matter can be covered up, for the sake of social stability, China will definitely hide it as much as possible. However, this mutation is not only happening in China, but also in all countries on Earth.
China's cover-up is only temporary. The masses will learn the truth from abroad. At that time, panic will spread in the country, and China will lose its credibility. It is completely not worth the loss. It is better to announce it in advance, and let the masses gradually accept this matter under their arrangement.
Speaking of this, Su Yu already understood the reason.
"So, the matter of the cultivation secret book is to ease the panic of the masses?" Su Yu.
The Chinese official nodded: "Yes, the above has already added research personnel, and will fill the defects of the secret book as soon as possible, or, suppress the defects to the minimum, then promote it nationwide."
Su Yu nodded, got the news he wanted, and turned his attention back to the form in his hand. The official handed him a pen at the right time.
After re-reading the form, he came to the coffee table and simply filled it all out.
After receiving the form filled out by Su Yu, the Chinese official couldn't help but smile: "Just as I thought, Comrade Su Yu, you have chosen to continue participating in the competition."
Su Yu did not comment, but asked: "Abnormal withdrawal from the competition, how should the country communicate with the Interstellar Tournament?"
"Comrade Su Yu, have you forgotten ma? In the first game, you got a wish stone and traded it to the country. The Interstellar Tournament officials will approve any request within the scope."
The goal was achieved, and the Chinese official prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he suddenly said: "Comrade Su Yu, there are many people who choose to withdraw from the competition, not only from our China, but also from other countries."
Su Yu knew that this was a different kind of reminder.
So far, there are not many contestants from Earth civilization left in the Interstellar Tournament, and this time, they have to take the initiative to withdraw, which means that in the next game, there will be even fewer contestants from Earth civilization, even worse, except Su Yu, there will be no other contestants from Earth civilization.
At that time, in case of special circumstances, contestants from other civilizations can stick together, and Su Yu will be isolated and helpless.
After the Chinese official finished speaking, he did not leave, but quietly waited for Su Yu, which was equivalent to giving him another chance to regret.
Su Yu appreciated this kindness, but his thoughts remained unchanged.
"It doesn't matter, I can do it."
He has said what he should say, and have done what he should do.
"Then, I wish you a triumphant return."
