Looking at the battlefield screen sent back by the drone, Hao Ren and Vivian frowned at the same time.
Vivian gently tapped the crystal panel of the console with her finger: "That just now... did you see it?"
"I see," Hao Ren nodded, "At the last moment, those monsters seemed to be rational?"
"It's not necessarily sane, but it's obviously become orderly, and they even know how to cover each other and cooperate with arms... What do you think is going on?"
"Suddenly super-evolved under the pretense? Has the intelligence developed by leaps and bounds?" Hao Ren wondered in confusion, "Or did he suddenly get rid of the influence of the Lord of Madness and become able to control himself?"
Vivienne shook her head: "I don't think so, the coordination proficiency shown by those monsters in the end doesn't look like the result of a sudden enlightenment on the battlefield, and hundreds of monsters acted in an orderly manner at the same time. Could it be that they broke through at the same time? "
Yet no one can answer these questions.
The monsters have all been wiped out. These creatures contaminated by the Lord of Madness are extremely dangerous. Hao Ren didn't intend to catch anyone alive in the first contact, but the X star cluster is still very big. Hao Ren firmly believes that he is definitely not the only one here to see it. Given the existence of these crazy minions, he always has the opportunity to study and understand the origin of these things.
"The logistics drone enters the field, cleans the battlefield and recovers the wreckage samples," Hao Ren glanced at the battle report sent by Nolan, and said casually, "The focus is on those corrupted monsters that can roughly see the original biological form, and those like It's the spaceship thing... I think they look familiar."
After a while, he added: "Let the armed drones anchor on the spot, form a defensive circle nearby, and let the engineering type erect the turrets and fortress missile launchers. This ghost place is not safe at all. "
The drone group completed the task redistribution with astonishing efficiency. The armed drones in good condition automatically reorganized into a formation and began to anchor in the surrounding space to become a semi-fixed battery, and the damaged fleet went to the repair area. Execute the recovery procedure, or stay in place and wait for the support of the logistics team. The engineering drone appeared in the corner of the position with the flash of the end of the transition, and began to build various outpost radars, turrets and...
A new drone nest, and twenty independent arsenals.
One of the highest purposes of drone swarms: expansion. Anyway, idle is idle, squat down on the spot and explode a hundred or two hundred thousand soldiers first...
If it is not controlled by Hao Ren, and also has a high degree of rationality and order, no matter how you look at it, this kind of machine group that can quickly spread the entire universe like a virus is a crazy thing. If it is thrown into other worldviews, it will definitely be the same as the United States. Homeless men from Japan fought with Japanese middle school students.
After completing the assignment, Hao Ren turned his attention to the floating continent that was still quietly floating in space.
The Floating Continent had already been attacked by corrupted monsters before. If it wasn't for the rapid support of the drone swarm, it might have been annihilated by the invasion of chaos. At this moment, there is still a faint film of light around this "space land", but the strength of the light film is obviously much weaker than at the beginning, and there are signs of thin and shaking light in many places. A harbinger of the impending collapse of the shield.
However, it seems that apart from the severe weakening of this shield, the Floating Continent itself has not suffered any damage—in other words, it is already a piece of wreckage floating around, and more damage may not be so easy to see...
Hao Ren looked at Nolan's holographic image: "Can communication be established?"
Nolan had a weird expression on his face: "How should I put it... Is it established?"
Hao Ren was stunned immediately: "What does it mean to be established?"
Nolan let go of the channel a little helplessly: "You will know when you listen to it yourself."
Then Hao Ren heard a sound coming from all directions—no, the sound was so loud that it seemed to be coming from all directions!
There are countless twittering voices yelling, not to mention accurately judging the meaning of each sentence, but finding even three or five understandable content from this pile of noise can be fatal, Hao Ren suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then he concentrated all his energy before finally distinguishing some intermittent things: "Wow! Wow! Wow! Really repelled, really repelled! Those bad things have been repelled. !"
"So the previous ship didn't escape, it really came to help!"
"Who has seen my psionic regulator, someone has seen my psionic regulator..."
"There are so many! There are so many small spaceships in the sky! Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand...they can't be counted!"
"Has anyone seen my psionic regulator! Has anyone..."
Balabala, endless, chaotic, thousands of sound sources exploding in the ear at the same time is nothing more than that, if not for the physical and mental strength beyond the ordinary, Hao Ren should have fainted by this time. He turned off the communication and looked up at Nolan: "What the hell is this? You collected all the signals on the surface?"
"I'm not so crazy," Nolan rolled his eyes at the sky, "These are all emitted from the surface into space—understand? These are all sent out by them! All channels are mixed together and completely equal, I There is no way to find a line that can be called a 'communication line'!"
"Send a signal to them..." Hao Ren looked confused, but subconsciously said, "Can they calm down and listen?"
Nolan randomly sent a signal to the space continent, and a new wave of sound surged in an instant:
"Whoa! They're talking! They're talking! They're talking to us! Do you want to reply or not?"
"I don't know what to do at this time! By the way, they really have a lot of spaceships, but each spaceship is so small..."
"Who saw my psionic regulator! Has anyone seen my psionic regulator!"
"Shut up! Your Psionic Regulator is hanging around your neck!"
"I think we should let the queen decide at this time, after all, the queen is the smartest one!"
"How many times have I said we don't have a queen!"
"This is the result." Nolan turned off the communication and looked at Hao Ren with a broken face.
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched twice, and finally realized that it was impossible to communicate like this.
On the surface... I don't know what kind of race it is. All in all, this race seems to have a very... "strange" way of thinking. They are noisy and messy. Although they can hear the communications sent to them by others, they will not carry out meaningful conversations at all. Reply, they seem to have been immersed in their own endless debate, leaving absolutely no room for third party personnel to intervene.
I always feel that the SAN value of such a race may have been cleared... A harmless madman species
But from the analysis of their communications, this race seems to have reason and logic.
"What should I do?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren. Her eyes were calm and indifferent, which made Hao Ren calm down. Obviously, it's not that the vampire girl is unable to make up her mind in this situation, she just hopes Listen to Hao Ren's thoughts.
"Go on," Hao Ren quickly made a decision, "There is a gap in the communication method of the communicator. If you communicate face to face... maybe you can figure out something."
"This is dangerous," Nolan reminded from the side, "Although we have just rescued the survivors on this space continent, and they seem to be on the opposite side of the crazy minions, we don't care about this race at all. Without understanding, it's unclear how they would react to outlanders landing on their land."
"We have millions of armed drones surrounding this place, and Vivian and I can be sent back directly if we are in danger. If we don't dare to go up with such proper security measures, it's not in vain to blind me." Work permit?" Hao Ren waved his hand, "And you will hover over us later, ready to respond and cover. Of course, control your thoughts of firing, you should have had enough bombardment just now."
"Get ready," he poked at the data terminal that had been lying on the console and murmured (the basic content of the murmur was that he couldn't control the battleship, he couldn't help himself in the war, and he didn't even have a drone swarm. It's up to you to take care of it yourself), "Stop nagging, and do business."
After being poked twice, the data terminal reluctantly floated up: "Tch, who made you the boss..."
Although the survivors on the surface looked completely unable to communicate normally, Hao Ren, in the spirit of professionalism, announced his peaceful purpose and willingness to land for "friendly communication" through the public broadcast channel before Nolan lowered the altitude. Unsurprisingly, this announcement caused a new wave of noise from that mysterious race, and... still no one sent a welcome or rejection communication.
But judging by the excitement and anticipation in their rowdy discussions... presumably these odd guys aren't against Encounters of the Third Kind... huh
Nolan slowly lowered her height, and successfully passed through the shield covering the continent (this is undoubtedly good news). According to the detected response of surface life, she came to the top of a vast wilderness, and set Hao Ren, Vivian and Doudou put it on.
Hao Ren saw the endless grassland stretching in front of his eyes. In the distance, he could also see black mountains and lush forests. Huge palaces, cities, and what seemed to be some kind of giant turrets were dotted among these primitive ecology. The sky is covered with a layer of shimmering atmosphere. The thickness of the atmosphere is actually very thin, but under the action of some artificial life support system, this thin layer of atmosphere maintains a relatively comfortable air pressure.
Many invisible light sources float in the atmosphere, maintaining the light of this remaining world. Those light sources are not dazzling, but they are enough to brighten up this planetary wreckage floating in the dark space.
There was no one around, and only countless swaying grasses could be seen in the distance, but Hao Ren could confirm from the life detection report sent by the data terminal that he had not come to the wrong place, so he opened his hands, and the voice Diffusion through translation plugins:
"We came here with good intentions, hoping to help you. Who can come out and talk to me now?"
After a while, Hao Ren finally saw a dimly lit figure emerging from the nearby bushes.
It was a... goblin that only reached the height of her calf.
