The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters - #176 - Chapter 176 Bridge of Dreams
The appearance of strange monsters has a certain regularity.
Caixia Avenue, as a recently discovered strange monster wandering point, was selected as the experimental site of the Disaster Prevention Bureau tonight.
Just after ten o’clock, a bloated giant strange monster appeared in the middle of the road.
The extraordinary people who had been waiting here for a long time immediately took action, trying to detain and strip some of its energy.
Yu Ke did not participate in the battle. His methods were too strong and the strange monster would be destroyed if he was not careful.
At this time, Caixia Avenue was full of masters. If they couldn’t even solve a strange monster, they might as well go back and take a shower and sleep early.
With his back to the battlefield, Yu Ke came to the experimental subject of Plan 1. He Xiong stood beside him with a metal box containing a dream weaver spider. His eyes swept across the three aliens standing behind the chair where the experimental subject sat, and he said in a deep voice, “The potion in your hand is the key to entering the dream. After going deep into it, you have 20 minutes of activity time. What you have to do is to find the special area in the dream, remember its location and form, and try to enter it and bring back information.” Although it is not certain whether the plan will succeed, it should still be regarded as a successful plan during the test. Only if these aliens believe that there is a passage to the dream space in the dream, will they go to great lengths to find it. The aliens who became testers did not have the power to say “no” and could only nod to show that they knew. When the strange monster not far away was about to be defeated by the joint suppression of the extraordinary people, He Xiong immediately took action, aimed the metal cage in his hand at the experimental subject, and opened the cage door. The long-hungry dream weaver spider could not hold it back, and the moment it rushed out of the cage, it grabbed the face of the experimental subject like a facehugger. With the help of the lights that had been arranged in advance, Yu Ke finally saw the appearance of the dream-weaving spider.
It was clearly a twisted monster formed by a mixture of a spider body and some human limbs!
Several limbs clasped the sides of the experimental subject’s face, piercing its flesh, and the black stinger at the tail pierced into the side of the experimental subject’s face. The dark green venom poured into the blood vessels and meridians, causing the experimental subject’s skin to bulge with terrifying blue veins.
Such a horrible scene made many aliens who were selected as testers gasp, and they all made up their minds to find a passage to the dream space and never let themselves become the next experimental subject.
Little did they know that this was just the beginning.
The venom of the dream-weaving spider spread to the whole body of the experimental subject in just a few seconds. The latter’s face or the entire head pores had gray-white silk-like substances floating out continuously. If you look closely, you can also find the shallow glimmer attached to the surface of these silk-like substances and their translucent structure.
These silk-like substances are not entities, but variants of spiritual energy extracted by venom.
During this process, the dream weaver spider kept swinging its forelimbs, gathering them in front of its body, and began to weave a bridge to the dreamland.
Such a strange scene made Yu Ke frown subconsciously, shuddering, not to mention the aliens.
The bridge took shape very quickly. In just one or two minutes, the bridge, which was as long as an adult’s arm, was suspended in the air and extended to the empty space in front of the experimental subject. At the end of the bridge, the fine gray-white color sank into the space, leaving only ripples.
“It’s done!”
Yu Ke, who had the best eyesight, immediately spoke up to remind.
After the bridge to the dreamland was woven, the dream weaver spider immediately broke away from the experimental subject and clung to the bridge to try to enter the dreamland, but its speed was not as fast as He Xiong after all, and it was caught by the latter halfway.
Earlier, after He Xiong released the dream weaver spider, he put down the metal box and put on the gloves provided by the Strange Research Institute, which were specially used to capture the dream weaver spider, in order to prevent it from using the bridge to enter and exit the dreamland to escape control.
At the same time, the aliens drank the potion prepared in advance, and put their hands on the bodies of the experimental subjects according to the requirements of the military personnel, allowing the spider silk to spread to their arms.
Unlike the dream weaver spider, which can directly climb the web bridge to enter the woven dream, humans do not have the ability of the former. They can only use other means to let the spider silk attach to themselves, and then stretch the other hand to the end of the web bridge.
In a blink of an eye, the three disappeared on the spot.
The principle is very simple. Let the web bridge identify the testers as dream weaver spiders, and naturally open the passage to the dream to them.
Of course, the simple principle does not mean easy to implement.
This is a method that the Strange Shelter of the Disaster Prevention Bureau has spent a lot of effort to research.
Regardless of other things, just the preparation of the dream weaver spider venom, the experiment of the finished product has filled in a large number of testers, which is why there is a finished product today.
Seeing that the experiment of plan one was carried out smoothly, Yu Ke and He Xiong turned their eyes to the strange monster roundup operation that had ended not far away.
The strange monster that appeared on Caixia Avenue cannot be said to be weak, but facing the many binding arrays and traps set up in advance by the Disaster Prevention Bureau, it was pressed to the ground and beaten by many extraordinary people as soon as it appeared.
Wang Xuan personally cut off one of the arms of the strange monster, cut it into pieces, and sealed it into the talisman prepared in advance.
After all, they are masters sent by the headquarters. It may be a bit difficult for them to find out the cause of the supernatural events, but this task of eliminating the strange monster and sealing its ability is easy to do.
Since part of the energy of the strange monster has been obtained, the remaining three plans will also enter the experimental stage immediately.
The extremely hungry dream weaving spider has completely become a tool in the hands of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, creating dreams one after another and weaving a bridge to the dream. The status of the experimental subjects and testers is constantly changing.
In about ten minutes, all four plans entered the testing stage. Next, Yu Ke and others can only wait.
The cold river breeze blew in at night, and the tents on the road were swaying.
The dream weaver spider has been put away again, and everyone is guarding the experimental subject sitting on the chair, just waiting for the tester to report back on the dream situation.
“The medicine they took can stay in the dream for a limited time. They should be able to come out before the dream space disappears, which is about ten minutes.”
He Xiong handed the metal box containing the dream weaver spider to the adjutant beside him. While he was explaining the situation to Yu Ke, a message was received on his mobile phone. After looking at the content, his expression suddenly became solemn. He turned to look at Wang Falcon and said,
“The situation in the city is not optimistic, Captain Wang. I ask you to lead a team to provide reinforcements. You will also be responsible for deploying the people under my command for the time being. We must prevent the monsters from causing large-scale damage to the city.”
Yu Ke also received news from Wu Huai at this time. The number of monsters appearing in Shanqing City tonight has increased significantly, and their aggressiveness has also increased. If nothing else, the duration will also increase.
Obviously, the influence of the dream space on the real world is constantly strengthening.
The current situation is quite similar to a snowball. It’s just a small fight at first, but as time goes by, the speed at which the snowball expands in size and the area it affects increases at an alarming rate.
The monsters on Caixia Avenue have been eliminated, and Yu Ke and He Xiong are still in charge. Nothing can happen. The other extraordinary people can leave at this time and go to other districts in Shanqing City to assist in operations.
Wang Falcon had no objection to this and immediately led the team straight to the helicopter parked nearby. The speed of the car could not meet their needs.
“The situation is deteriorating faster than imagined. We can only hope that one of the plans tested tonight will be successful, so that further actions can be carried out tomorrow.”
As a representative of the military in Shanqing City, He Xiong hoped that Shanqing City could restore order as soon as possible. He paused and said,
“I hope Consultant Yu can help us when the time comes!”
At this stage, the extraordinary forces that Shanqing City can mobilize are all fighting against monsters in various urban areas. Needless to say, the situation tomorrow night will only be more difficult. Entering the dream space to eliminate the source of monsters is the only way to break the situation.
In He Xiong’s plan, Yu Ke is undoubtedly an indispensable combat force.
“It’s okay to help, but the premise is that we have to find a passage to the dream space, and a method that allows us to stay in it for a long time and evacuate safely. If it’s a one-way ticket, I won’t get on the bus.”
There were only two of them here, and Yu Ke didn’t intend to beat around the bush or talk big, and expressed his attitude straightforwardly.
“that’s enough!”
He Xiong nodded solemnly, not only not dissatisfied with Yu Ke’s straightforward statement, but also somewhat admired.
You must know that Yu Ke was originally just a person who came from Beijing-Hangzhou City to borrow strange contained objects. He had nothing to do with the supernatural events that occurred in Shanqing City, and he had no obligation to participate.
The reality is that Yu Ke provided crucial intelligence, revealed the existence of the Dream Space, and agreed to participate in follow-up actions if certain conditions were met. This responsibility is enough to be called a hero.
Just as the two were preparing to further discuss the follow-up action plan, the space in front of the experimental body responsible for testing plan 1 suddenly fluctuated, which immediately attracted their attention.
The three people who entered the dream first had taken potions that had expired, and they automatically escaped from the dream created by the dream weaver spider. They each fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
“How’s it going? What did you find?”
He Xiong rushed to the testers immediately, lifted one of them up from the ground, and asked in a deep voice.
“Snowy mountains, there are snowy mountains in dreams. We walked around, looking for passages and couldn’t find them. We really couldn’t find them. We saw spiders wandering in the snowy mountains. They regarded us as prey.”
The stranger, who looked like he had aged several years, was trembling and couldn’t even speak clearly.
