Chapter 157 Spiritual Corpse Pit

Li Tianran had never heard of the term "spiritual corpse pit" before, but judging from the words, it sounded pretty disgusting.

"But don't worry, this level of spiritual power can only affect first-time Evolvers at most, and it can't harm you now..." Nila Song continued, "You can patrol the city at will, and you won't be affected at all."

Hearing Nila Song's words, Li Tianran habitually turned to look at Han Han, as if asking for her opinion.

Han Han didn't say anything, but directly opened the helicopter cabin door. A powerful suction came, but she didn't resist. Instead, she leaped down, drifting like a flower in the wind.

Seeing this, Li Tianran no longer hesitated and jumped down after Han Han.

…

Boom!

The Followers fell from the sky, making a huge roar.

The body strength after the second enhancement was stronger than alloy. Even falling from a height of several hundred meters didn't cause any damage. Instead, it smashed the ground into a crater full of spider web-like cracks.

Li Tianran fell gently. The moment he touched the ground, he released the weightlessness effect on his body.

"This city..." Li Tianran landed at the entrance of the Seventh City's general command building. The moment he landed, he saw a large number of soldiers in military uniforms lying crookedly on the square in front of the building.

Their bodies looked like dried-up trees, their skin was old, wrinkled, and dehydrated, and their muscles seemed to have atrophied. Young men in their twenties and thirties now looked no different from old men in their seventies and eighties.

No, to be precise, it shouldn't be [body], but [corpse]!

Because these soldiers had lost their breath and become mummified corpses!

But the strangest thing was that even though their deaths were so painful, they had smiles on their faces, as if they were extremely happy and all their wishes had been fulfilled.

"Died in happiness?" Li Tianran frowned and looked at the remains of these soldiers. No wonder a city with nuclear weapons and tens of thousands of troops could lose contact and be destroyed so silently.

"What did you see?" Nila Song walked over and stood beside Li Tianran with his hands behind his back.

"Some... colored light?" Li Tianran looked at the nearest corpse. He saw some colored, hair-thin rays of light wriggling out of the corpse's pores, nostrils, and mouth as if they were alive.

Looking up again, Li Tianran saw a scene that shocked him.

The originally quiet entrance of the command building was now covered with overwhelming colored light. Countless colored lights crawled out of each corpse, like a swarm of ants preparing to hunt, and rushed towards Li Tianran and the others madly.

"How disgusting!" Han Han frowned. A thunderous electromagnetic pulse from her neural network instantly swept away, and the colored lights collapsed and dissipated the moment they came into contact with it.

The area in front of the entire command building instantly became much cleaner.

But in less than three seconds, a large amount of colored light overflowed from the corpses lying on the ground again, as if it could never be completely eliminated.

"After an ordinary corpse pit rots, it will breed a large number of bacteria and viruses. And as long as you don't eliminate the source, the bacteria and viruses will never be killed, and they will always breed again and again..."

"And corpses killed by chaotic spiritual power like this will also give birth to highly infectious spiritual viruses, which are even more difficult to eliminate than ordinary bacterial viruses and spread even faster!"

Nila Song placed his finger on Li Tianran's shoulder. In an instant, a huge amount of spiritual energy was injected into Li Tianran's body. This was not an attack, but a [borrowing of power].

Nila Song lent his huge spiritual power to Li Tianran. At the same time, Li Tianran felt that the world in front of him had changed again, becoming clearer.

The shape of the overwhelming colored light also became more specific in Li Tianran's eyes.

They were things that looked like colored maggots. They didn't have any physical form, only a vague, light and shadow-like shape, like active bacteria observed under a microscope.

They kept crawling out of the corpses on the ground, almost filling the entire city.

Walls, streets, air, everywhere was filled with these colored maggots.

Only now did Li Tianran finally understand what Han Han meant by "disgusting." Standing in a city of viruses and maggots like this would cause strong psychological and physiological discomfort to anyone.

"Who created this chaos? It doesn't seem like the other Apostles have this kind of power, right?" Li Tianran was silent for a moment before asking softly.

This kind of power, which obviously belonged to the spiritual level, did not belong to the Star, Night, or Ocean Apostles. If there was only one person who matched this ability, it seemed to be Han Han in front of him...

"This kind of terrifying spiritual plague cannot be created and spread by a single creature. Even the top Neural Network Evolvers with a second evolution don't have this ability." Nila Song shook his head and said, "This is an alternative biochemical weapon."

"Biochemical weapon?" Hearing Nila Song's words, Li Tianran immediately reacted. The ancient civilization had not yet entered a state of complete recovery, and their weapons should still be in a locked state!

"The weapons of the ancient civilization, can they already be used?"

Li Tianran looked at Nila Song and asked with a strange tone.

He had checked the firepower status of the Sky Castle yesterday, and it was still impossible to use it. Why could other Apostles use weapons?

"In fact, the definition of a weapon is very vague. Should it be defined by the user, or by the attacked?" Nila Song heard Li Tianran's question and explained with a smile, "For a group of ants, a water gun is a very terrible weapon. It may lead to the extinction of an ant nest or a group; but for human children, a water gun is just a small toy and does not have any lethality."

"So tell me, is a water gun a weapon or not?"

Li Tianran gradually understood what Nila Song meant. He frowned and asked with gritted teeth: "So the thing that created such a large-scale death is not considered a weapon for the ancient civilization?"

"That's right." Nila Song nodded and said very seriously: "It cannot cause any harm to members of the ancient civilization, so its definition in the ancient civilization is... a toy, a tool!"

Li Tianran didn't know who set the rules of the Destruction Era, and the definition of weapons was not specifically stated, but now it seemed that the rules did not completely lock down the power of the ancient civilization.

Those "toys" that were harmless to the ancient civilization were enough to destroy the world in the human world...

"I understand..." Li Tianran took a deep breath. He tried to reach out and touch the colored light. The colored light seemed to have a life, madly drilling into Li Tianran's body.

Illusory images appeared in Li Tianran's vision, but those images were like low-quality old movies, blurry, fragmented, and difficult to form a complete fluency, let alone completely pull him into a hallucination.

The evolved beings after the second evolution had greatly improved in all functions of their body, which was very different from the first evolution.

Even the second ancestral Evolvers were much stronger in mental strength than the first Intelligent Network Evolvers!

Those colored lights could not shake his thinking at all.

"What is this thing called?" Li Tianran asked in a low voice.

Nila Song was about to speak when he was interrupted by a shout.

"Governor, we found a living person..."

Several second-evolution Pioneers ran out of the command building, dragging a middle-aged man who was extremely pale and looked like a mummy.

From the identity badge hanging on the other person's chest, it could be known that he was a staff officer of the Seventh City. At this time, his face was full of fanatical excitement, waving his arms and shouting: "I will lead the army to conquer the entire Eurasian continent! I am an unprecedented unifier, and the whole world will submit to my feet!"
