Alien Knights

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Todd let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

Sutherland looked at Todd and asked with a smile: "From sowing to brewing, I did it all myself. How does it taste?"

Todd nodded and said: "Delicious... I know that this is the soul space, and the sense of taste can be produced by consciousness alone, but this wine always makes me feel a beautiful sense of reality."

Sutherland said amusingly: "The beautiful sense of reality? Interesting... If consciousness is the only way for people to understand the outside world, then what is the difference between vision, taste, touch, the reality that can be judged by the brain, and the so-called falsehood? Woolen cloth?"

Todd was stunned for a moment and asked Sutherland: "In your opinion, what is reality?"

Sutherland: “If you want to understand reality, you must first see whether you can know yourself?”

Todd thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Sutherland, are you telling a riddle?"

"I'm talking about something that you'll eventually remember," Sutherland said softly.

Seeing the confusion on Todd's face, Sutherland smiled and said, "Stop worrying about this and tell me what you plan to do here."

"I thought you could see into anyone's mind," Todd told Sutherland.

Sutherland: "I can, but that doesn't mean I understand everything."

Todd: "Understand...everything? I don't understand what you mean?"

Sutherland: "I know you want to take part of my body to extract the antidote against the undead. But what I don't understand is, how can you do this?"

Todd: "The process is a bit complicated and involves some academics and theory."

Sutherland: "We are not short of time now, you can explain it to me."

Todd: "Okay, I'll try my best to explain to you that there is a kind of undead parasite in the undead. Their predecessors are resurrected worms, and the latter were transformed into the former under the influence of the Tyrant Virus... This kind of parasite There is a Necrotic Virus in the body of the insect. If you want to eliminate this virus, you must extract antibodies from infected people..."

Todd spent a full hour explaining the origin and principle of the Necrotic Virus to Sutherland.

Sutherland listened attentively and occasionally asked a few questions.

When Todd finished explaining everything, he said to Sutherland: "So, this is why I came to you this time. As long as we extract a small piece of living tissue from your nervous system, we can cultivate it." If we find an antidote to the undead virus, the whole world will be saved."

After listening to Todd's words, Sutherland asked: "Do you think I will agree to your proposal? Give you part of my body so that you can create that antidote?"

Todd's heart tightened and he said: "I already know that you are an undead. I know that you are unlikely to agree to my request, but I still hope that you will give them a way to survive for the sake of those aliens." the way……"

Sutherland smiled and said: "Starting to play the emotional card...good job, but not good enough."

Todd gritted his teeth: "If you really reject my request, I will get what I want at all costs."

Sutherland squinted his eyes and said: "Very well, as a leader, you must always consider the possibility of failure in verbal negotiation. Force is sometimes the last option, but it is also the most effective option... But unfortunately, it is a pity to sue everything." Before resorting to violence, you must choose your opponent carefully."

Todd asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Sutherland: "You can't defeat me... Of course, that's not what I want to emphasize. I think the antidote in your mouth has no meaning. The undead plague has infected every corner. The decline of this world, survival The extinction of living things is just a matter of time."

Todd: "I don't think so. There is always a way out for everything, and there is always hope."

Sutherland shook his head and waved his arms, and the scene around him changed.

In the huge bottomless trench, billions of undead parasites are tangled together like vines, twisting and growing, filling every corner of the sea floor, dyeing the originally blue sea into pitch black. .

In the deep and quiet underground caves, countless undead parasites shuttle through the rocks and soil, connecting with each other and forming a network, forming increasingly larger insect nests in the depths of the earth.

Sutherland waved his hand to pull Todd back to the soul space, and said to the pale latter: "The pictures you just saw are all the current reality... When you are still dealing with the insignificant living things on the ground, When the zombies were fighting, the undead plague had already infected the ocean and the earth, and the entire world had become their nest, and there was no way to stop them."

Todd closed his eyes in pain and said firmly: "There will definitely be a way. If we can develop virus antibodies, then we still have a chance..."

Sutherland said helplessly: "You still refuse to give up that almost slim hope?"

Todd looked up and stared into Sutherland's eyes: "No matter how slim the hope is, it is the light leading to the exit. I need your help... No, I beg for your help. Just a little bit of your living tissue, alive There is a glimmer of hope for living beings to be able to fight against this force of death.”

Sutherland sighed and said nothing.

Todd took a step forward and continued: "As long as you are willing to help, I can pay an equal price."

Sutherland thought for a moment and then said: "Then, let's make an agreement. I will give part of my body to your people for them to use in researching the antidote... Although I don't think this will happen. What's the use?"

Seeing the joy on Todd's face, Sutherland continued: "Don't be too happy first. On the other hand, I need you to stay here and complete a task I taught you."

Todd nodded hurriedly, but suddenly realized something and asked: "Stay here? How long? After getting the antibodies, I must return to my kingdom to help my people fight against the undead."

Sutherland said softly: "I'm afraid you can't do that. You must stay here and not go anywhere until my mission arrives."

Todd opened his eyes wide and shouted, "That's not fair! You can't trap me here!"

Sutherland picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip: "Actually, I can."

Todd closed his eyes, trying to force his way out of Sutherland's soul world.

However, he failed.

Then, he got down on all fours, transformed directly into a dragon, and breathed a ball of fire towards Sutherland.

Like flames thrown into the sea, Todd's attacks had no effect.

Sutherland: "Todd, don't make any more unnecessary attempts. You can't possibly be my opponent in the research and use of soul powers."

Sutherland reached out and waved to Todd.

The latter seemed to have all the strength suddenly taken away from his body, directly transformed into a human form, and fell limply to the ground.

Sutherland: "Todd, I will leave you in this soul world, and your actions here will not be restricted... In addition, I will also send the agreed upon living tissue to Muxi City. If If your people have enough courage, wisdom and luck, then they may be able to survive this catastrophe of death."

Todd looked up at Sutherland with difficulty: "What exactly do you want me to do? When will you let me leave here?!"

Sutherland: "Now is not the time to discuss the details with you. When the time comes, you will naturally understand everything I want. Oh, by the way, you don't need to worry about the hardship of time. I have already passed the time in the soul space. It speeds up a lot. If you stay here for one day, the outside world will pass by about a week."

"Soon, the final moment will come."
