As Chen Jing walked, he asked Kesen about the situation at the outpost. "What is the so-called outpost?" Chen Jing asked directly.

Cosen wasn't surprised. Courier 007 had previously expressed some interest in this object. He explained, "Based on the information I've gathered, I speculate that humans left behind two things before evacuating this planet. One was the omnic production facility [Outpost], and the other was the human production facility [Alaya]. The latter has collapsed, and its last act before collapse was to create us. The Outpost has always been there, but for unknown reasons, it has not produced any omnics. They use the few existing detection bases to ensure communication and intelligence gathering, but they haven't demonstrated the absolute power to overwhelm these city-states."

Chen Jing was more curious: "How do you know this?"

"These are the conclusions I drew after communicating between city-states," Kosen replied.

"So what's the current situation in your city-state?" Chen Jing remembered what Shamils ​​told him before he came.

"It's not a big deal. We will be able to take full control of the city in about three hours." Cosen said nonchalantly.

Chen Jing looked at their weapons. Most were chemical projectiles, with a few directed energy weapons. This wasn't a typical configuration. Logically, if this were a human outpost, they'd have to have some electromagnetic cannons, right? How could they defeat Lih without heavy weapons?

Or was it actually Li He's farm? Chen Jing didn't rule out this possibility. Li He had been transforming planets into fish ponds to raise creatures for a long time.

"Our weapons aren't great, but the ones at the outpost are truly impressive," Kosen explained. "Generally speaking, we buy their discarded weapons, like large-caliber cannons. They're basically strategic assets. Except for the General Resolution, they can't be opened. And now everyone else who could have made a resolution is dead. I'm the last one left."

Chen Jing was stunned. This guy is very cunning.

Cosen continued, "What's really interesting is that the outpost has never told the outside world about the existence of other human civilizations. Instead, it tells people that this is the last refuge, the last spark of human civilization."

"That's understandable. Before this, this was Lihe's sphere of influence. Even now, I can't guarantee that I can take over this area." Chen Jing looked up at the sky. "The monsters that you think are so terrifying are just the bottom of the Lihe system. Compared to the truly terrifying enemies, they are nothing but ants."

"Alien intelligent machine?" Cosen had heard Messenger 007 say this before.

Chen Jing shook his head: "The alien intelligent machines are only third-tier. You should have heard this knowledge from the messenger 007. Her level is too low, and she doesn't know some things." In fact, he was the only one in the entire human camp who knew that there were two more terrifying armies above the alien intelligent machines. That was the reason why Lihe could be ranked as a high-level civilization.

"Plague" and "Devouring." These two seemingly childish names were chosen by the Marshal, which was equivalent to Chen Jing's, and this is indeed the most appropriate name.

"There is a force among them that can spread at sub-light speed. Once infected, they will be controlled. After obtaining resources, they will evolve and replicate infinitely, constantly reorganizing their genes and appearance." Fighting is an infinite snowball, with one side gaining while the other loses. If it can't be killed quickly, this thing will disgust any army to death.

"The other one is very small in number. Lih reached a cooperation with a hegemonic cosmic creature in the early days, and later completely controlled them. Each hegemon is a mobile super fortress. They can even reconstruct the rules near themselves and modify some surface constants." In fact, Chen Jing guessed that Azathoth could also do this kind of thing, but what is the concept of a fully organized weakened version of Azathoth?

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he looked at Kosen's reaction and saw that he really didn't understand. However, Kosen didn't intend to let him understand. What he needed was Li He's extremely powerful concept.

In fact, it is impossible for such troops to be deployed at any time to fight against low-level civilizations like humans. Otherwise, the marshal would have been dead long ago, and there would be no need to wait until he committed suicide.

Even if Chen Jing went to destroy Agui's lair, he might not encounter it. There are so many people in this world who want to be heroes and go down in history. Chen Jing is not worried at all that it will be his turn to fight such a god.

Although the marshal is dead, the wave he created is still there. One day, the next marshal will appear among humans.

But Chen Jing just wants to be a salted fish.

If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot down, so Chen Jing does not intend to be the savior.

Human beings all have bad qualities. If happiness comes too easily, we will not cherish it. If we take a good life for granted, we will not fight for it.

Only when you lose something can you know how to cherish it. Chen Jing has lost a lot of things, so he cherishes what he has now instead of looking at the pot while having enough.

"Contentment is the greatest happiness." This is his life motto.

Kosen nodded. "That's still a long way off. We haven't even solved the problem at hand yet, so it's unrealistic to worry about Lih's revenge. Besides, Admiral, your troops..."

Chen Jing waved his hand: "I won't give you troops to attack cities and seize land."

"I mean garrison."

"Oh, later."

Kosen said nothing more and led Chen Jing towards the city's center. "This used to be a large city, but it's now deserted. The ruins are mostly underground, and there are many monsters roaming inside. That's why we can't get in now, so it's blocked. After all these years, I don't know if the monsters inside have starved to death."

"It's difficult," Chen Jing admitted. "Likely a creature of Lih has a very strong vitality. Generally speaking, they won't die of starvation. If pushed to the limit, they can even eat dirt to stay energetic." He pointed to the sky and said, "Some like Lih can even travel in space. Those with great physical strength can even collide with starships."

The corner of Kosen's mouth twitched: "Then don't we all have weaklings here?"

"Yes." Chen Jing was merciless: "What you are fighting against is just an insignificant part of Lihe's army. It is even possible that Lihe does not even know the existence of this force." This is alarmist. Lihe must know it. After all, they are the descendants of the creatures directly created by Him, and there will always be a time to contact them.

But Kosen was helpless: "It seems that we are just an insignificant part of the vast number of living beings, while this ant is seeking a piece of meat from the lion."

Shamils ​​suddenly said, "Something's calling you." A holographic projection appeared before Chen Jing. In the complex underground city, there was a red dot.
