There are still survivors on this planet.
This fact greatly inspired Hao Ren's spirit and aroused his curiosity. His attention to this matter made him even forget for a while the terrible situation on the surface of the star that he had been stalking from outer space: in the dream plane, this hell In the doomsday world of the world, the eldest son and the planets destroyed by the eldest son are never uncommon. The drone swarms can send back at least ten ruins scanning signals when they go out for a circle, but there are very few survivors among them. It is unprecedented that the survivors still persist in resisting—from the previous few aircrafts, it can be seen that the survivors on this planet are not only persisting in resisting, but even dare to take the initiative to attack!
So although Hao Ren didn't rashly establish communication with those aircraft, he also let the data terminal keep an eye on them and intercept their communication content as much as possible. As long as there is an opportunity, he must establish contact with these survivors as soon as possible.
Of course, at this stage, the most important thing at this stage is to gain a firm foothold on your own side first. Acting cautiously is the first condition to ensure the completion of the mission. Now that Nolan is still a seriously injured person lying in the impact crater, Hao Ren can use all the power except Apart from a group of friends at home, there are only a group of self-discipline machines and the arsenal in his portable space. He estimated the combined combat power of these and thought that it is not enough to occupy enough control when contacting the local aborigines. , so he has to take his time.
Survivors don't have to be friendly, they could be another bunch of lunatics after fighting a crazy eldest son for thousands of years.
But Nolan made such a big noise when he fell... Maybe the natives of this planet have noticed that there are a group of extraterrestrial visitors on their planet.
After the two aircraft were completely out of everyone's sight, Hao Ren received a communication from Nolan. Miss Jian Niang sounded a little nervous: "Boss! Are you okay? I just sensed a strong noise on your side." Energy response!"
"Let me tell you, the civilization of this planet is not completely extinct as we thought before, there are survivors in this place..."
"Why?!"
"And they are fighting with the eldest son of this planet, and visually they are fighting back and forth."
"Hey?!"
The data terminal sent the video it had recorded to Nolan, and Lily and Nangong Wuyue chirped and recounted what happened just now. In the end, Hao Ren shared his thoughts, and Nolan agreed after a short pause.
"Now that the situation is bad, we really need to recover some vitality before considering expanding operations. It is best to collect enough intelligence first, so that the initiative is in our hands. I used to do this when I was a 'mercenary'. "Nolan said, "As for whether it has been discovered by the local indigenous people... I don't think it has been for the time being, because I haven't felt that I have been scanned by things like radar. Although many of my external observation devices have been crashed, But I didn’t become blind, if someone actively observed it, I would definitely feel it.”
"That's okay. All in all, collecting information on the survivors of civilization on this planet as soon as possible and judging their contact level, restoring the function of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform as soon as possible and finding a way to contact the drone group are the two most important things at present. Work."
"Nolan understands that this ship will launch a batch of new probes to find the survivor's base and conduct observations. Captain, when will you return?"
"I'm going to continue exploring the ruins of this city," Hao Ren replied, "Although this ruins may have been abandoned for thousands of years, there will still be clues of survivors hidden in the ruins... At least we can know that their civilization was destroyed What was it like before the eldest son was seriously injured."
"Please be careful. Although the lullaby system has been activated, we are still standing on the head of a planet-level monster—and this monster has just been provoked once. Its subconscious activities are catastrophic."
Hao Ren reassured Nolan, then hung up the communication and led the trio to the center of the ruined city.
The bombing and counterattack at the border of the remote forest did not seem to affect the tranquility deep in the ruins. This desolate ruined wall is still peaceful. Only some wild animals living in the ruins gradually started to move, making the place more lively. the sound of. Looking at the peaceful ruins and the lush vegetation between them, Hao Ren could hardly imagine that this is a world still under the shadow of the furious eldest son: everything is too peaceful.
After the eldest son went mad, the cleaning of the ecological circle was destructive. Wherever the tide of source blood went, no matter it was organic or inorganic, it would be completely corroded, assimilated, and reset. Not only intelligent creatures, but even every plant in nature Wood will be completely destroyed. However, on this planet, the eldest son is in an active state, but the ecological circle is still lush, and the forest has even grown to the point where it can swallow the civilized world.
Look at the alien animals jumping up and down among the ruins, they seem to have no idea what is going on in their world.
It seems that the only thing that can prove that the eldest son and the second son are still at war is the bombing in the distance just now.
Hasn't the eldest son of this planet gone mad? Or maybe the indigenous civilization of this planet has gained the upper hand in the war, has completely suppressed the activities of the eldest son, and even allowed the ecosystem of this planet to recuperate during the tug-of-war for thousands of years
With such doubts in mind, Hao Ren and his party walked through the collapsed and abandoned ancient buildings. What they needed to collect were mainly written and pictorial records of ancient civilizations, but these two things were the hardest to preserve, which required a lot of effort. patience.
Maybe take a chance and look for the wreckage of the wrecked craft at the edge of the forest - if they land on this side of the forest and away from the firstborn tentacles.
At noon, a group of people arrived at the foot of the huge building in the central area of the city.
This large pyramid-like building is probably the best-preserved part of the city: it obviously uses stronger materials and special construction techniques to prolong the life of the building itself as much as possible, although all the outer layers of its surface are It has fallen off, and there are big cracked holes and wide cracks everywhere on the main body, but the data terminal confirmed that the skeleton of this unknown building is still intact after scanning with radar, just like a giant beast of steel and iron, with flesh and fur Decayed with age, but still has a strong skeleton.
There are indications that this building should be very important.
Due to the city's subsidence, the building itself has sunk more than ten meters. The original entrance was naturally buried in the broken bricks and tiles, but it was full of holes and cracks, so Hao Ren didn't need to look for any entrance. After letting the data terminal roughly confirm the internal structure of the building, he led the people to drill in through a relatively stable crack.
The faint blue light emitted by the data terminal and the warm glow of the fire illuminate the dark interior of the building. This ancient ruins like a decaying tomb is full of traces left by the years, moss and microbes that grow in the dark environment Light fungi grew wantonly along the walls, and winding vines emerged from the broken floors. In some places, Hao Ren heard the faint sound of running water: the underground structure of the city has evolved into a dark river. According to the data The detection of the terminal, this dark river connects two depressions in the city, and leads to the streams and underground waterways in the forest. Together with the surface water system, they nourish the nearby plant system.
The new ecosystem is running quietly and vigorously in this ruins.
Nangong Wuyue crawled beside Hao Ren in the form of a sea snake. She was surrounded by three water spheres. With the help of the relatively humid environment inside the building, she could perceive every detail of the surroundings in an all-round and three-dimensional manner. Suddenly she stopped and pointed in a certain direction with the tip of her tail: "Landlord, look at this."
Hao Ren leaned over curiously and used the data terminal to provide lighting, and then he found a decorative sculpture there.
The sculpture had broken and collapsed, only the upper body fell to the ground, and the lower body was missing. After removing the moss on the surface of the statue, its original appearance was also presented to everyone.
A statue of a human being—at least it looks like a human being.
"It seems that the intelligent creatures on this planet have also followed the information disturbance and evolved into this 'standard template' form," Hao Ren nodded. "Now at least we can determine what the native creatures on this planet look like."
"It's not the only one." Vivienne's eyes were slightly red, and she looked towards a dark hall ahead, "This is either a museum, or... it's for leaving messages."
Hao Ren raised his head, following Vivian's gaze, he understood what the other person meant.
In the hall ahead, countless sculptures and reliefs are lined up quietly, like soldiers waiting for inspection, or like silent tombstones.
Sculpture, whether it is on the earth or on a foreign planet, there are shadows of these things in the development and inheritance of many civilizations, whether it is a piece of wood or rough stone that was hand-carved in the budding period of civilization, or cast with alloys when civilization rises Sculpture always occupies an important position in information transmission with its direct and vivid expression. If you don’t look at the information capacity, the accuracy and reliability of sculpture in transmitting information will far exceed any words and languages. Therefore, if If you want to pass on an important event to future generations for thousands of years, and hope that it can be easily interpreted by later generations, then one of the best ways is to engrave it.
Whether it is carved into a relief or made into a statue, it can keep the information for a long enough time. At least in the face of some civilizations that have not yet overcome "time" itself, the "shelf life" of these statues and reliefs is enough.
This building may really be just a museum for exhibiting sculptures, but Hao Ren hopes that it is a guestbook left by ancient civilizations in the face of disasters, although the existence of the six aircraft before proved that this planet still has Survivors, but for some reason, Hao Ren always felt that he couldn't place the hope of uncovering the truth of history on the "survivors" represented by those aircraft.
