Things took an unexpected turn, and everyone's mood sank.
This spiritual monster seemed to be easier to deal with at first, because it didn't seem to be too aggressive or polluting, but when people saw its growth rate, they suddenly felt panic.
Spiritual monsters have the instinct to grow and protect themselves.
In other words, if a spiritual monster is left there and allowed to pollute and assimilate other spiritual bodies, it will definitely grow.
But the growth rate will vary according to its level.
Now this spiritual monster seems to have no such level limit...
Under the attack of Lu Xin and the gecko, it quickly crawled through the crowd. Wherever it passed, countless "human faces" were attracted by it and integrated into itself. This growth rate was far faster than the speed at which Lu Xin and the gecko eliminated it.
...
...
"It's already more than two thousand..."
When Lu Xin heard the report on the magnitude of the spiritual monster in the channel, his heart skipped a beat.
During the training, he has been exposed to the different classifications, levels, and rewards of different special pollution sources.
He knows what a spiritual monster with a spiritual level of more than 2,000 represents.
Under normal circumstances, if the spiritual level exceeds 2,000, it can be rated as C-level.
"Spirit monsters" that are active and can attack and escape are often more dangerous.
More importantly, this spiritual monster has such terrible growth potential...
...
...
"If this spiritual monster can infinitely integrate the spirit of the people under the high wall and achieve growth, then..."
In the channel, Han Bing's voice was a little hoarse: "Things may usher in unimaginable horrible consequences. Under the high wall now, preliminary judgment is that there are at least more than 2,000 people. According to the ten points of spiritual level of each normal person, more than 1,000 people, the total amount of spiritual power can reach more than 10,000. And a spiritual monster of 10,000, it will become a..."
She paused, her voice trembling slightly: "At least... it is also a B-level threat?"
"..."
"Is there any solution?"
Lu Xin didn't wait for Han Bing to continue, and he also had a judgment in his heart.
At first, the gecko once asked him if he had ever seen 10,000 people crying to him?
In fact, there are not so many people under the high wall.
Han Bing's estimate is correct, there should be about 2,000 people.
The number may not sound large, but looking down from the high wall, it is a dense and terrifying number of people.
And if these two thousand people are devoured by the human-faced monster, how much will its spiritual level reach?
When asking this question, Lu Xin frowned, and he continued to rush towards the spiritual monster. With one exaggerated and distorted large-scale movement after another, the body of the spiritual monster was torn off piece by piece by him.
On the high wall in the distance, Gecko was also constantly shooting. His arm holding the sniper rifle was already shaking slightly. I don't know if it was too much pressure or the vibration of the gunshot that made his arm sore. He was panting, and you can see that the black muzzle has turned slightly red because of the continuous shooting of special bullets, emitting a choking smell of rust.
At this time, the abilities of both of them have been exerted to the extreme.
But they still felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
The monster grew too fast. No matter how fast Lu Xin tore it apart or how fast the gecko killed it, they couldn't catch up with its growth. It was like watching the tide coming in and leaving everything to fate.
"Huh..."
Lu Xin took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the monster that seemed to have expanded to the size of a mountain of human heads.
He realized his futility.
At the same time, the anxious voice of Gecko was heard in the channel:
"The special bullets have been used up. Have you found a way?"
...
...
"Beep!"
At the same time, the alarm sounded: "The level of spiritual monsters has exceeded four thousand!"
...
...
Han Bing's voice was slightly anxious: "I have issued a special alarm to the headquarters and requested support, but..."
In the channel, Tie Cui took over Han Bing's words: "It's not very useful."
"This monster can unlimitedly integrate the spiritual power of the polluted people below. So, if you want to stop its growth, you have to isolate it from other polluted people, whether it is support from the headquarters or we deal with it ourselves."
"Besides, when the support from the headquarters arrives, it may be too late..."
"..."
"Damn..."
Gecko climbed up from the high wall, shook his arms a few times, and shouted: "What is the most serious consequence?"
Tie Cui said in a deep voice: "This spiritual monster has not shown strong aggression and pollution so far. It just keeps devouring the 'food' prepared for it in advance. In addition, it is very likely to be related to the creation of the Church of Science and Technology, so I suspect that this spiritual monster has been modified at some level. It was created..."
"And the things that are created have their own purpose!"
"It is not strongly aggressive and polluting, and its spiritual level is so high, so its purpose is very likely to be self-destruction!"
"When the spiritual monster self-destructs, it will release powerful spiritual radiation!"
"To some extent, it can be regarded as... a bomb!"
"And a spiritual monster with a spiritual level of 10,000 releases spiritual radiation..."
"It will kill or distort all creatures within a radius of ten kilometers, and eventually affect, and even expand to the entire satellite city..."
"..."
At the end, even Tie Cui, who was so calm, couldn't help but tremble.
Gehu, Han Bing, and Lu Xin, who were in the same channel, fell silent at the same time.
They all guessed a result.
Lu Xin whispered: "So..."
In the channel, Tie Cui continued his words: "So, we only have one way..."
She paused, gritted her teeth and said: "Eliminate all the contaminated people in advance!"
"..."
Lu Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.
All the logic seemed very clear and natural.
How to cut off the growth path of a super-large spiritual monster?
Of course, it is to solve its "nutrient" source.
Because this super-large spiritual monster is very likely to undergo qualitative changes after it grows up, threatening the No. 2 Satellite City, which is already in extreme chaos, so the first thing is to stop its growth.
On one side is the population of nearly one million in the No. 2 Satellite City.
On the other side, there are more than two thousand people who have been contaminated. It is very clear which is more important.
But...
Directly eliminate these two thousand people?
Although... now there are far less than two thousand left.
Lu Xin's forehead ached slightly...
...
...
Whether it was the soldiers and geckos on the high wall, or Han Bing and Tie Cui in the channel, there was a long silence.
This silence made people feel uneasy.
"Single soldier, the headquarters hopes that you can quit the mission at this time!"
Han Bing's voice rang slowly after a long time.
It seemed that considering the previous assessment of Lu Xin, the headquarters had already considered that he was not suitable to be on the scene at this time.
And Lu Xin also knew very well what would happen after he quit the mission.
On the high wall, Gecko stood there with a gun, his figure a little depressed.
And the soldier commander on the high wall was answering a phone call, and his face gradually became solemn... and panicked.
Lu Xin also stopped. He looked up and could only see a dense crowd of heads. He saw faces that were either painful or hideous. He didn't know if it was because this mental monster had grown to a point where it had changed. Even just looking at it had caused Lu Xin to feel an invisible pressure, which made him subconsciously want to escape.
Feeling this pressure and impulse, Lu Xin remained silent.
One second, two seconds.
He could hear his heart pounding.
…
…
Then Lu Xin spoke in a hoarse voice: "I won't quit, you guys quit!"
As he spoke, he seemed to be worried that he couldn't explain it clearly, and he answered carefully: "All of you, quit here."
"What?"
Lu Xin's answer shocked everyone in the channel. What kind of crazy talk was he talking about?
Lu Xin seemed to be speaking with great determination: "All of you, leave here now, the farther the better..."
"Don't get close to me, and don't look at me in any way, not even with a camera..."
"Because it will be very dangerous..."
