"Captain, you have to come over and listen to this." A member of the Sun Spear team poked his head out of the Falcon chariot.
Adam looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The team member looked a little unhappy: "We can't contact the base, and we also received some strange signals."
Received a strange signal
Tianyang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Adam walked quickly, and Yunze and Wang Liangyi exchanged glances and followed. Finally, Tianyang and Gugang squeezed next to the chariot.
The door of the tank was open, and a voice was playing on the control platform in the cockpit: "... It's so dark, so cold... ... Where is this? Come and save me. Does anyone hear me? I need help..."
There was some electronic noise mixed in with the voice, and it seemed that the signal reception was poor. From time to time, there was a sharp sound of sharp objects scratching against the wall, which added a bit of horror to the voice.
After hearing this voice clip, almost everyone can imagine the following picture: in a dark and cold space, someone is panicking and asking for help; something nearby is scraping the wall with a sharp object; the air is filled with danger and fear.
Adam reached out and tapped on the screen of the control platform. He tried to switch several channels, but without exception, he received the voice.
“This is very abnormal.”
Adam jumped out of the car, his thick eyebrows almost twisted. "All channels are jammed. In this case, we can't get in touch with the base. At least, it's difficult to communicate in real time."
Yunze asked: "Can we get in touch with the other party?"
The team members in the car shook their heads: "We tried, but the other party didn't respond. They just mechanically repeated the same content."
Adam turned around and said, "Then send an encrypted message to the base. This is the only way now."
The team nodded and began to compose the message.
Tian Yang squeezed in and said, "I suddenly remembered something. I once participated in a star pillar recovery mission. During the mission, we received a distress signal. But in the end, we found that the one who sent the signal was a kind of dark people. As a biological organism, it can interfere with electronic signals. I don't know how it does it."
Adam said nervously, "You mean, the signal we are receiving now may be interfered by the black people?"
Tianyang nodded vigorously: "It is very likely."
Yunze exclaimed: "If this is the case, then their purpose should be to isolate us. Oh my God, is this something that the black people can do? This is a tactic. Can the black people use tactics?"
Adam was not surprised. "High-level dark folk are intelligent beings, so it's not surprising that they can use tactics. Mr. Wang Liangyi said that there are three ghost riders in Baoshi Town. They have the ability to lead the dark folk. It's normal for them to use certain tactics, but I didn't expect that the dark folk would have what Tianyang said."
Tianyang stepped forward: "If we don't eliminate the interferer, we won't be able to contact the base. And even if we send encrypted information, this one-way electronic transmission, I doubt it will be intercepted by the black people. Let me find the interferer and eliminate it. I know what it looks like."
After hearing this, Adam did not express his opinion immediately and looked a little hesitant.
Yunze simply shook his head: "Let my people handle this. You just went through a big battle and now is the time to rest. You just need to share the information about the interferer with us, and I will take care of the rest."
Tianyang looked at Adam, who nodded. The boy then described to Yunze and the others the monster with a horn head that he had seen in the metropolis before.
After receiving this information, Yunze immediately walked away and found a Sublimator, asking him to take charge of this task with a signal tracker.
Adam pulled Tianyang over, walked aside and whispered, "He doesn't believe you."
"I know."
Tian Yang sighed softly: "He is worried that I will take the opportunity to escape after leaving the camp."
Adam laughed: "This Yun family member is famous for being cautious, otherwise the Yun family would not let such a young man be in charge of the mine and base activities here."
Tianyang waved his hands, trying to dispel those unpleasant thoughts: "Forget it, leave him alone. By the way, Adam, can you tell me about the Deep Knights and their followers? I have never heard of this kind of monster."
Adam found a clean place to sit down, took out two food bars and gave one to Tianyang.
Tianyang shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
"Eat!" Adam stuffed the food into his hand without hesitation. "On the battlefield, you don't know when the enemy will attack, so when you have time, all you have to do is rest and eat so that you can prepare for the next wave of attacks."
Tianyang thought it made sense, so he tore open the packaging and took a bite.
Adam also bit off a piece and chewed it in his mouth, saying, "The Dark Knights and their followers, as well as the dark people such as wizards and tree spirits, are classified as the old dark people."
"Old black people?" Tianyang had never heard of this term.
"Yes, the old dark folk." Adam took out a kettle and took a sip. "In almost every world of reversal, there are some particularly ancient dark folk. They have existed for a long time, and this kind of dark folk usually have certain 'traditions' that are unique to them."
"Take our No. 127 Reverse Realm for example. Among the old dark people that have been discovered, wherever the wizards go, they will leave unique symbols and bring certain worship activities to other dark people."
"As for Deep Knights and Squires, they usually live in some sealed spaces. The tradition of these things is to protect something. Something that they think is important, or that has been designated by someone."
"But tradition is only one of the characteristics that distinguish the Old Black Folk from their peers. The most important characteristic is that these Black Folk show almost no signs of evolution."
Tian Yang was stunned for a moment, then he bit off another piece of food stick: "So, the other black people have evolutionary characteristics?"
"That's right." Adam finished the rest of the food stick in a few bites. "In the process of exploring the reverse world, we found some things, such as some frozen black people. Of course, it's not our reverse world. The exploration time of this reverse world is still short, and we haven't found anything similar yet. But in some reverse worlds with higher numbers, we have found quite a few similar things."
"Corpses, portraits, text messages... all these things show that there are some very ancient species among the black people. They have stopped evolving, but have retained certain behavioral habits and have passed them down to this day. This type of black people is called the Old Ones."
"As for other black people, they will evolve and change over time. Just like the Mad Dogs and the Secret Archers, fifty years ago, the Mad Dogs were half the size of what they are now, and most of them looked like teenagers. As for the Secret Archers, when these black people were first discovered, they used weapons like bone arrows. But now, they not only use thermal weapons, but also energy weapons."
Tianyang frowned slightly and said: "Only
In just fifty years, the evolution has been so rapid?"
Adam sighed heavily. "Yes, so some scholars who study the reverse world believe that when we explore the reverse world, we are also stimulating the ecosystem of these dark worlds. The reverse world will adjust the evolution speed and amplitude of the dark people according to these stimuli to fight against us 'invaders'."
Tian Yang was silent. He suddenly felt that perhaps people should give up exploring the reverse world. Unfortunately, this matter was not something he could decide alone.
Moreover, as long as there are Star Marrow Pillars and resources in the Reverse Realm that are not available in the world outside the gate, it will not stop people's enthusiasm for exploration.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were sounds of buildings exploding outside the camp. Those were the arrangements made by the people Adam had sent out earlier to create obstacles for the black people.
Adam stood up, and Tianyang went to the rooftop with him. From here, they could see a circle of smoke and dust rising near the camp. The surrounding streets were basically blocked, with only one road leading out of town.
If nothing unexpected happens, explosives will be buried on the road, so that if they need to evacuate the town, the explosives can delay the black people for a while.
In the rolling smoke and dust, Tianyang vaguely saw some figures moving towards the camp. The tactical eye zoomed in on the scene and found that they were indeed members of the Sun Lance. However, they looked flustered, as if something was chasing them from behind.
The next second, Adam's communicator rang: "Captain, they are coming! Prowlers, a large number of Prowlers, they are coming again."
Adam gasped and shouted downstairs, "The black people are about to launch a second wave of attack. Everyone, prepare to fight!"
He repeated it several times.
When the people who were resting in the camp heard Adam's alarm, they all jumped up, picked up their equipment and quickly ran to their positions.
Tianyang also took out the Death Bell, infused it with star essence, and after filling three bullets, he took out a bottle of replenisher and drank it.
Adam looked at the huge pistol, wondering why this guy suddenly had such an exaggerated weapon, but there was no time to waste. The blond man jumped downstairs and personally directed the defense of the camp.
Not long after, the personnel who had gone out to set traps and blow up buildings came back and quickly joined the camp's defense line.
Tianyang came to a section of the wall. The Ascendant who was responsible for protecting this section of the defense line had been sent out by Yunze to eliminate the interference signal. Tianyang took over his job, and as for the machine gun fire point on the rooftop, it was handed over to an ordinary soldier.
In the camp, everyone was on high alert. After a while, they saw wanderers crawling out from the windows, doors and other gaps of the bombed buildings ahead.
Their postures were stiff and their figures were swaying, but they walked towards the camp with extremely firm steps.
Adam shouted, "These things are just cannon fodder. Don't waste too much energy on them. Wait until they get closer before firing. Especially snipers, your targets are the more threatening guys like stealthy shooters. Don't waste ammunition and energy on cannon fodder."
On the wall, Tianyang silently drew out the Red Moon Saber, and held the assault rifle in his other hand. His job was to deal with the mad dogs or followers that jumped on the wall, and he must not let those things cross the wall and attack the camp.
But the boy felt something was strange. The black wave that had spread across the street was filled with wanderers. Not to mention the Deep Knights, not even a single Mad Dog could be seen...
