Fang Zheng didn't care what would happen next in Sidonia. He gave the battle record to Xing Baixian simply because he thought it was interesting.

However, the search and data copying of Sidonia still provided everyone with a lot of information. At least they had some understanding of the situation of the Honkai beasts in this world.

"So, the Honkai beasts in this world can imitate machines or humans by devouring them..."

Looking at the information in front of him, Tesla frowned.

"The Honkai beasts in our world don't seem to have this characteristic."

"But it is unchangeable that Honkai beasts will become stronger as civilization grows stronger."

Einstein shook his head.

"Fortunately, the level of civilization in this world is not very high, and there are no powerful individuals like the Herrscher. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the destructive power of these Honkai beasts, known as 'Kijuko', is restricted."

"That's right."

Cang Xuan also expressed his opinion.

"It's obvious that these Honkai beasts imitate by devouring the target itself, but they seem to lack the ability to evolve. In other words, the strength of these Honkai beasts can only reach the level of human civilization in this world, and they can't continue to improve themselves... They don't seem to have the ability to evolve themselves."

"It would be nice if we could catch one and study it."

Fang Zheng yawned.

“But we didn’t meet any.”

It has been such a long time since the Azure Fleet separated from Sidonia, and not even a ghost can be seen, let alone the Honkai beast.

"But it's possible. After all, they devoured the entire human race on Earth. If they imitate this, then even if they can't evolve themselves, they should be able to mutate..."

"According to records, the level of human civilization was not high when the Qijuzi attacked the Earth, so humans could only escape from the Earth by building this kind of colony spaceship. Even if the Qijuzi devoured one or two colony spaceships, they could only simulate their power systems..."

"It is simply a replay of the tragedy of previous civilizations."

Danzhu sighed.

"Fortunately, there are no such Honkai beasts in our world."

"But the people in heaven are not much better."

Fang Zheng silently pointed out the key points.

Although the model is different, the people in the sky also gain the ability to continue and expand themselves by devouring the Honkai energy of other civilizations. From a certain perspective, there is no essential difference between them and the Qijuzi.

"Speaking of which, I've always found it very strange."

Tesla pushed up his glasses as he spoke.

"If the Imaginary Number Tree really believes that other world bubbles threaten its safety, why doesn't it send some more powerful Honkai beasts to destroy those worlds directly? Why must it use such a roundabout way? If it were me, if there was a bad fruit on the tree, wouldn't I just use pruning shears to cut it off? Why must it use such a troublesome method?"

Tesla believes this is puzzling.

"Perhaps this is also related to the growth of the Imaginary Tree. After all, we know very well that the Imaginary Tree is just a proposed name, and it does not mean that it is really a tree. Even if it is really a tree, perhaps each world bubble not only bears the responsibility of growing into fruit, but also may bear the function of providing breathing and nutrients for the growth of the Imaginary Tree, just like leaves."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"If that's the case, then the Imaginary Number Tree certainly can't cut down all the World Bubble Fruits, that would be tantamount to suicide, so it will use this method to eliminate those relatively strong ones who want to be independent, while the weak ones will stay and be responsible for providing nutrients for the growth of the Imaginary Number Tree. From this perspective, the Honkai Beast is more like a measurement standard for the Imaginary Number Tree, rather than simply an accomplice of the Imaginary Number Tree."

“…”

“…”

After listening to Fang Zheng's words, the four fell into silence. After a moment, Tesla spoke again.

"I say, when are we going to change the subject?"

"I don't know what to do. I'm desperate."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly, then turned his gaze to the screen in front of him. On the screen, he could clearly see a huge planet split in half, turning into a meaningless garbage dump in the universe - this was the Earth.

That's right, when Fang Zheng's Blue Fleet arrived at the solar system according to the coordinates in the Sidonia database, what they saw was the Earth split in half and the empty solar system.

Those Honkai beasts, called "Qijuzi" by the locals, have long since run away to some corner. Now the entire solar system is deserted and there is nothing. It has completely become a meaningless garbage dump.

This is unscientific.

According to the general plot, wouldn't this kind of boss stay after the destruction and turn this place into its own castle, waiting for the protagonist to defeat the boss? Why did those Honkai beasts run away without even a trace? Why does this feel like a village that has been ravaged by bandits, with nothing left except broken walls and ruins?

Of course, the earth today no longer has any signs of life. After all, the entire planet has been split in half, the atmosphere is gone, the oceans are gone, and the core is gone. The earth today is not a cradle of life at all. It is simply just two cold stones in the universe.

If Fang Zheng hadn't confirmed that this was the Earth through the star map, he wouldn't have believed that the bumpy thing in front of him was the Earth.

Well, none of that matters.

The important thing is...what should they do next???

"What else can we do? Just wait. I have ordered the Azure Fleet to start a large-scale search of the entire universe."

Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly. If he couldn't find the real owner, he wouldn't be able to find the core area of ​​the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. Now, apart from a carpet search, Fang Zheng had no other good ideas.

“——Dingdu!!!”

However, at this moment, suddenly, the alarm sounded, and then Leander's projection appeared instantly.

"Report to the commander, a large mass object has been found in the cargo hold!"

"Massive objects? What's going on?"

"It seems to have been transferred here."

"Transfer???"

Fang Zheng frowned when he heard Leander's report.

"I'll go over and check the situation right away."

Soon, the group arrived at the warehouse, and when the door opened, an unexpected thing appeared in front of them.

"Wow, what kind of monster is this?!"

Looking at the huge monster in front of her, Kiana screamed immediately. In the middle of the warehouse, a giant pink monster over ten meters tall was lying there. When it saw Fang Zheng and others coming in, the monster slowly raised its head and stared at them with eyes like a praying mantis.

"Please...save her...!"

"You spoke!?"

Bronya was also shocked, but before everyone could say anything, the monster's body suddenly split in the middle, and then a black-haired girl in a driving suit emerged from it and fell to the ground.

Wait... this isn't...

"Ms. Xingbai?!"

"Why is she dying again???"

Everyone was stunned when they saw Xing Baixian lying on the ground motionless in his driving suit.

"Anyway, let's get her to the medical bay first."

Fang Zheng gave the order helplessly. He knew how Xing Baixian came here, because he gave her the pendant before taking her away. In addition to storing battlefield data, it also came with a one-time teleportation spell that could teleport Xing Baixian to her desired safe place. It was a one-time invincible Hearthstone.

I just didn't expect that she would come over here again.

And this time he brought a...what is this???

"Mr. Yuuki, what should we do about this?"

The girls immediately took action and sent Xing Baixian to the medical cabin. Facing this monster, everyone was a little helpless. And from the appearance, it was also seriously injured, at least a considerable part of its body was decomposed.

"It's so big that the medical bay can't fit it."

"Well... let the Zerg deal with it."

Fang Zheng thought about it and made a decision.

After all, the Zerg are the professionals in biological restoration.

After handing the unknown monster over to the insect swarm, Fang Zheng walked to the medical room with his hands behind his back.

"Okay, why did she die this time?"

"The strong impact and the short-term temperature rise exceeded the human endurance limit and he went into shock. Fortunately, he didn't die."

Danzhu gave the answer silently.

"It seems that the ship is really dangerous..."

"Also, I found something interesting in her brain."

As he spoke, Danzhu took out a test tube. Inside the test tube was a small fleshy worm that looked similar to an octopus. It had a big head and tentacles similar to an octopus, but its entire body was pink.

"What the hell is this?"

"Some kind of parasite. It seems to be parasitic on the host's brain, and then use it to manipulate the host's consciousness and actions."

"Could it be that monster? It's using this thing to control Xing Baixian?"

Hearing this, Tesla asked curiously, while Fang Zheng shrugged.

"Who knows... Anyway, now that the insect swarm is watching it, it can't do anything even if it wants to."

Are you kidding? It's just a parasite. If it dares to behave abnormally, the amoeba will teach it a lesson in minutes - oh, it's not a human either.

"Let her come see me again when she wakes up... and then we'll send her back... um..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng was suddenly stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

"Wait, I have an idea."
