Chapter 243: Great Harvest, Evolution Begins
The two aliens Su Xia saw in the wreckage of the oasis camp were no different from the natives of this planet.
Of course, perhaps due to years of sleep, their faces looked a little swollen.
Knowing that he had made a fool of himself, Chang Rufeng scratched his head awkwardly and changed the subject abruptly: "Can... can this spaceship still fly?"
"No, but if we can find a complete survey ship, we may still have a chance to leave this planet."
Hal here gave the same answer as Hal in the Oasis Camp.
Originally, there were twelve small survey ships on this spaceship.
Those survey ships are not here, and no one knows where they crashed. As long as there is one intact ship, the technology on it can bring this planet into the starry sky age.
In this damage control bay, hundreds of fixed small repair robots were left intact, so the survey ships might also be intact.
"What's this?"
Sun Lang curiously picked up a red irregular ball, which looked similar to an apple and exuded a fragrance.
Like some kind of food.
Hal replied indifferently: "Floating light bomb, one can send all of us into the sky, your thumb is on the activation button."
"ha?"
Sun Lang's face trembled, his hands shook, and he almost dropped the bomb in his hand.
He carefully put the bomb back into the box, rubbed his hands, shrank his neck, and dared not touch it again.
There are several such silver-gray metal boxes on the side.
Each box contained twelve bombs.
Su Xia looked over and suddenly a string of data appeared in front of her eyes.
[Name: Floating Light Bomb]
[Also known as: Light of Heaven]
[Type: Disposable consumable weapon]
[Level: Level 5]
[Description: From the starry sky, a product of Orlok Company]
[One second before the explosion, this bomb will burst out with intense light, hence the name floating light bomb]
[According to many soldiers who survived the battlefield, when they saw the bomb detonating in the distance, they thought they saw the guiding light from heaven, so the bomb is also called "Light of Heaven"]
[Do not eat]
[Please keep out of reach of children]
[Do not put it in the pile of apples]
【……】
Another powerful weapon, exactly what Su Xia needs now.
Even if we can't open the prize cabin in the end, this trip is already worth it.
Behind these boxes of bombs, more than a dozen weapons of different shapes were hung on the silver-gray wall.
This is where Hal took the sniper rifle from just now.
Su Xia saw a familiar weapon at a glance——
[Star Pioneer]
This was the first weapon he used in his training system.
This gun is just an ordinary kinetic weapon, but because it once followed the generals of the Seventh Empire in battle and expanded the territory, it is loved by many soldiers and collectors .
In addition to this gun, the other ten or so are psychic weapons.
In the corner, there were several other boxes of bombs similar to the floating light bombs, but in different colors. Once they exploded, they would be enough to kill Su Xia and others here dozens of times.
"What is this?" Sun Lang pointed at a small black box, not daring to touch it. He just asked, "There can't be a bomb in it, right?"
"Well, you guessed right." Hal responded indifferently.
"ha?"
Sun Lang trembled and took two steps back.
Su Xia turned her head and looked over.
Just to the side of the box where the floating light bombs were stored, a small metal shelf was fixed.
On the huge shelf, there are six identical black boxes. The front is about the same size as an ordinary textbook, and there is a handle on it for carrying.
The deep black color exudes a hint of danger.
[Name: Sound of Destruction]
[Alias: Small City Reboot]
[Type: Disposable consumable weapon]
[Level: No level]
[Description: From the starry sky, a product of Orlok Company]
[The destruction radius exceeds five kilometers. All living things at the center of the explosion will be directly evaporated, leaving no trace of their bodies.]
[The Imperial Army used this weapon against the rebels. It is said that the horrific explosion could be heard a hundred kilometers away, hence the name "Voice of Destruction"]
[If you think this weapon is powerful, then you must not have seen the more powerful "Light of Nation Destroyer" and "Planet Destroyer"]
Seeing this description, Su Xia felt a little happy. Isn't this similar to the small nuclear weapons on Earth?
In a small-scale war, this thing can decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
but……
It suddenly occurred to him that there seemed to be no place on this planet where such weapons were used.
The mechanical race’s bases are all in human cities, where they live together with the human race.
Even if we counterattack in the future and take back cities one by one, we can only do it step by step. It is impossible to throw this thing into human cities.
In short, this weapon can be regarded as a backup for deterrence, and it is better to have it than not.
Hal said, "This kind of weapon cannot be carried on ordinary ships. Only the Empire's military transport ships can carry it... The surveillance shows that these were carried privately by two engineers on the ship. I guess they might want to trade with some low-level civilizations."
"Well, it's possible."
This kind of weapon, in ancient times, would be like a divine punishment.
When the two cold weapon troops were facing each other from a distance, one of the sides suddenly waved his hand, as if summoning a meteorite, and asked the aliens above to throw this thing into the enemy's base behind. The scene was simply unimaginable.
In the damage control cabin, apart from these things, the rest are normal tools.
Thanks to these weapons, Hal has been able to protect the wreckage for more than twenty years.
Sun Lang pointed at a silver-white wrench and asked cautiously, "What kind of bomb is this?"
Hal glanced at him indifferently: "That's a wrench."
"oh……"
Sun Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something he could pick up and read.
Chang Rufeng was flipping through a thick "Energy Capsule Maintenance Manual" at the side. The manual was so thick that it could be used as a brick to hit someone.
The huge cabin was not empty, but rather seemed a bit crowded. After the crash, all the unsecured supplies in the cabin were in a mess, and it was only later that Hal slowly sorted them out.
The few of them just briefly went through some of the items, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
In addition to this damage control compartment, there are two more compartments, which are also damage control compartments.
One of the cabins was used as a storage compartment, with all kinds of useless things thrown in, and even a pile of tableware could be seen.
In addition, in the cabin in the middle of the corridor, there are more than a dozen detention rooms used to detain unruly crew members.
"In the confinement room, the crew can watch movies, play games, read, and so on." Hal introduced: "Only personal freedom is restricted, but the rest of life and entertainment remain the same."
"Is this called solitary confinement?" Sun Lang exclaimed in amazement.
"Yes, we can't go too far, otherwise it will violate the imperial law."
Hal drove along the silver-gray corridor, the triangular tracks slowly turning and opening several cabins at the end of the corridor.
These are rest cabins where some food is stored.
There is also a simulated cabin in the wreckage, but it was damaged in the crash, so Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng cannot experience it now.
"Huh, I didn't expect the air underground to be so fresh."
Sun Lang stretched and then sat down in the rest cabin.
From the time he received the task yesterday morning to ten o'clock this evening, he and Chang Rufeng had not had any rest for two days and one night.
The long-term state of tension made both of them very tired.
Now that I have come to this relatively safe place, I actually feel a little sleepy.
Su Xia briefly assessed the status of the two and said to Hal, "Hal, get them some food and find a place for them to sleep for a few hours."
"no problem."
Hal responsibly opened a cabinet in the rest cabin and took out a can from it with a mechanical arm.
He moved slowly and placed the can on the table in front of Sun Lang and Chang Rufeng, saying, "This is a can of beef with a shelf life of 30 years. You can eat it directly after opening it."
"Thirty years?"
Sun Lang stared, picked up the can and examined the packaging carefully.
Hal said, "We also have food with a shelf life of fifty years and eighty years. You can all try it. The food reserves on this spaceship are quite sufficient."
As he said this, he went back to the cupboard, took out several cans of meat one by one and handed them to the two men.
Chang Rufeng took the can and said in surprise: "Is this can older than me?"
"Aboriginal, how old are you?"
"I am thirty-one years old."
"Well, the can in your left hand is indeed bigger than you." Hal explained calmly, "It was produced thirty-five years ago, when you were about four years old."
"I……"
Chang Rufeng was in mixed emotions. He turned on the heating device on the can and let it heat up slowly.
Hal followed Su Xia's orders carefully and got them some other food.
Shrunken vegetables, compressed dry food, beverage powder, etc., the taste is not very good, but it can be barely called hearty.
There are actually canned foods on Earth with a shelf life of several decades, which are loved by many doomsday enthusiasts.
Su Xia leaned against the door, holding a copy of "Interstellar Encyclopedia" in her hand.
Although he seemed to be reading a book, his thoughts had already drifted to the distant Fish Scale City.
…
In the wilderness outside Fish Scale City, the horn of war is about to sound.
“Boom—”
A flash of thunder streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the night sky.
That night, the sky over the wilderness was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and strong winds blew through the wild grass and dead trees. A rainstorm was brewing.
The preparations for the two insect nests have reached the final stage. Countless insects on the earth are roaring to the sky, and there is no end to the dense Zerg army.
Su Xia's ugly clone has already sneaked into the stronger insect nest, together with countless primitive insects that have not yet fully evolved.
“Hiss…hiss…”
Beside him, a primitive worm was spitting out its tongue, with turbid saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth.
Su Xia just squatted on the ground and didn't seem to be moving.
But his deformed feet had grown more than a dozen dark red, dense nutrient tubes, which were connected to the flesh and blood nutrient network covering the entire insect nest, secretly absorbing nutrients.
at the same time.
Outside the two insect nests, on a small hill, the masked monster clone also came with the [Alienation Filter].
This clone took out the [Alien Insect Illustrated Book], turned to the page about "Swift Insects", transformed itself into a pitifully small Swift Insect, and then lay dormant quietly, waiting for the two insect nests to start a war.
“Boom—”
Another thunder sounded, and the tense atmosphere was instantly shattered.
The two insect nests seemed to have a tacit understanding and launched attacks at the same time, attacking each other's nests.
Dense swarms of insects swarmed out, including scavengers, unicorn beetles, splitters, skeleton beetles, etc. Thousands and thousands of low-level insects roared hoarsely. The number was astonishing. They connected together and advanced madly, like a black tide that swallowed everything.
Looking down from the sky, two black tides were approaching the earth at a terrifying speed, and they would collide with each other soon.
Dead trees on the way were knocked down, weeds were trampled, and even some small stones were crushed.
Just at this moment, bean-sized cold raindrops finally fell from the sky. The wind and rain were blowing, thunder was exploding, and the atmosphere of chaos and tyranny raged with the strong wind.
Wherever the two insect nest armies passed, no grass grew, only a dark mass remained.
The ugly clone is in one of the armies.
Su Xia tried to control his speed, and it was not very fast. At the beginning, he was in the front middle position, and then he slowly moved closer to the edge, avoiding the first wave of terrifying impact.
This clone currently only has level 2 psychic power and cannot be used recklessly.
Not long after, the two crazy black tides finally collided.
"boom--"
"boom--"
The insects in the front rows of both sides roared and crashed into each other, causing their scales to shatter and their flesh to burst. Sticky blood and cerebrospinal fluid spilled all over the ground, instantly bringing the tragic atmosphere to the extreme.
The insects behind continued to pounce on him without stopping, roaring, using their teeth, claws and horns as weapons, fighting frantically and killing any enemy they could see in their field of vision.
In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of insects died on the spot.
The blood and rain water mixed together and soon gathered into streams, flowing towards the lower-lying areas, forming one turbid puddle after another.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The insects' sharp claws crushed the puddles, splashing blood.
There were body parts and blood clots everywhere, and countless internal organs torn apart by sharp claws were still steaming.
Su Xia also encountered his first opponent in the marginal area, which was a skeleton worm with a psychic power of only level 0.8.
Su Xia's mind moved, and active skills such as sharp teeth, strengthened skin, and iron bones were instantly activated. He used a powerful jumping skill, pounced forward, and opened his bloody mouth.
“Crack!”
He bit off the skeleton worm's neck with one bite, and hot and smelly blood exploded in his mouth.
The skeleton worm screamed in pain and fell heavily to the ground. The rest of its body was held down tightly by Su Xia's four claws, and its sharp claws pierced into its scales.
In front of Su Xia, the bug was so weak that it couldn't even put up a single resistance.
Su Xia activated the skill Enhanced Devouring.
Tiny flesh-like nutrient ducts grew out from his limbs, piercing into the skeleton worm's wounds and absorbing its power mercilessly. It looked quite barbaric.
However, Su Xia is not the only one who is devouring his own kind on this battlefield.
Not long after the battle, insects began to bite and devour the mutilated corpses on the ground, whether they were their own or the enemy's. The bloody scene was more brutal and terrifying than Su Xia's methods.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
Large chunks of flesh and blood were torn off and swallowed by the insects along with lots of blood.
Those crazy scenes were similar to the battle at the Oasis camp.
These corpses are the best nutrients for their evolution.
Killing and Devouring——
This is the only way for low-level Zerg to climb to higher levels.
On this terrifying night, the wind howled, the cold rain fluttered, and countless insects roared with their lives, interweaving with nature into a symphony of blood and evolution.
