Chapter 406: An unknown civilization appears!
The terrible battle in the rift was so fierce that the road was almost wiped out.
Fortunately, it did not affect the humans standing on the mountains.
People simply watched this wonderful drama as a spectator... Just like watching the movie "StarCraft", these bugs were extremely crazy and even evolved various tactics, which also meant that there was indeed a "queen bug" controlling these huge armies behind the scenes.
The only sad thing is that many mushroom forests seem to have been destroyed in the war...
Greedy Demon God Lu Yuan saw the mushroom forests being destroyed piece by piece, and a constipated expression appeared on his face. Please! Why are you fighting? You really deserve to die! Well, he was the only one who was muttering there. Others didn't care at all, because mushrooms would grow again, not to mention that humans didn't get them... You can't count the resources you didn't get as your own, right?
“Dangdangdang!”
Suddenly, the alarm sounded, and a large group of insects jumped to the surface in chaos, rushing straight towards the reconnaissance fortress.
These guys actually fought from the ground to the surface. There were more than 10,000 of them, and they were all not very powerful.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and immediately became interested: "Quick, lead these bugs into the fortress!"
"Try to use cold weapons and don't attract the hatred of those things. Try to capture them alive. We want to breed these bugs and cultivate mushrooms."
These irrational guys, seeing the fresh and tender humans, rushed into the fortress fanatically, with their fangs and claws bared, wanting to eat people.
"Biga!"
They were not strong to begin with, and were weakened once by the "Unruly Mountain". They were soon captured by soldiers armed with cold weapons and imprisoned in a glass room made of special materials.
This time I really reaped a lot. Although they were all useless bugs, I finally had enough materials for my experiments!
However, a large number of insects soon overflowed from the cracks, and it was impossible to keep them alive. Lu Yuan could only issue an annihilation order. Storing more corpses and transporting them back to feed the insects was also a good option.
The war underground was extremely brutal, but life on the human side was relatively easy, albeit a little torturous.
Even in the primeval forest, a small number of overflowing Zerg appeared.
But because these guys have no reproduction ability and will be weakened if they leave the rift, they basically can't make any progress. Lu Yuan simply sent his own Zerg warriors to clear them out, so it wasn't a big problem.
…
Just like that, after six months, the intensity of the war finally subsided. The insects killed each other and most of them died.
The humans also captured 100,000 Zerg alive and stored more than one million corpses, which formed a mountain. All of these guys were transported back by the Sky Fortress for the Zerg warriors to enjoy.
After the cracks stabilized, people once again dispatched drones to conduct reconnaissance.
The scientists' idea was simple: could they take this opportunity to steal some mushrooms? If they could get the legendary inspiration mushrooms, they would make a fortune.
"I wonder what the situation is like in the mushroom forest..." When Lu Yuan thought about his billions of wealth being destroyed, he felt a dull pain in his heart and almost triggered the "Art of Collapse".
Inside the command center of the front-line fortress, hundreds of screens were filled with images sent from drones.
The number of insects really decreased a lot, and most of the powerful Zerg gathered at the bottom of the rift, as if something was attracting them.
Only near the mushroom forest, there are some small insects serving these delicate fungi.
Most of the mushrooms had been eaten clean, leaving only some leftovers scattered messily on the ground.
But for humans, picking up some trash is actually pretty good.
The drone is equipped with a robotic arm that allows it to pick mushrooms flexibly.
If one plane picks one kilogram, then 100 planes would equal 100 kilograms, right?
Even though the quality of the fungi on the top layer was not very good, the joy of the harvest still filled the headquarters.
"Picking up supplies worth 1 spiritual charm a day is not bad..." Lu Yuan kept comforting himself.
At this moment, a captain suddenly widened his eyes and issued an A-level alarm: "Report...Report! I seem to have found something strange..."
Lu Yuan hurried over to take a look, his pupils dilated, and he was stunned.
On the big screen appeared...
A gray-black drone!
Its shape is like a small Zerg, with a thick mimicry shell, two long antennas, and several propellers on the fuselage.
The most important thing is that the gray-black drone was also using its robotic arm to secretly collect mushrooms scattered on the ground, and the "clicking" sound of the scissors was extremely crisp.
The gray-black drone quickly discovered the human drone, slowly turned its head, and two indicator lights lit up.
The human side also lit up.
The drones of both sides stared at each other, confirming each other's identities.
"This style doesn't seem to be from our side." A soldier murmured to himself.
"Obviously not..."
"Then... where did it come from?"
"This civilization... is so cunning. Can they survive in this kind of environment?" Lu Yuan found it a little unbelievable.
What does this mean? In the calm period after the Zerg War, humans finally discovered that unknown civilization! ...
Everyone in the conference room was startled, and then became nervous.
Unknown civilizations are sometimes more dangerous than visions!
It is extremely difficult for different phenomena to coexist harmoniously, but it is extremely difficult for civilizations to coexist peacefully.
"Where are they?" This thought came to Lu Yuan's mind at the first moment.
The other officers also murmured to themselves: "How is it possible? Are they hiding thousands of kilometers away? We have been searching for them for so long and still can't find them... Are they really hiding underground?"
"How did they survive?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
The drone on the human side rotated in a circle and flashed the searchlight a few times, but did not find any strange buildings in the surrounding area.
The opponent's drone also flashed a few times and waved its mechanical arms, as if making some gestures.
Then a series of words were written in the soil on the ground.
So the two sides began to communicate with each other with great difficulty.
Gradually, Lu Yuan seemed to understand the other party's intention: the other party was actually calling our drone to follow? ...
…
"Report!"
"We may have discovered a technological artifact from another civilization!"
Obviously, when the members of the "unknown civilization" saw the drones from the human side, they were also a little confused. They were originally happily collecting mushrooms, but in the end, a competitor showed up...
Well, actually, they can’t be considered competitors. After all, this piece of cracks is layered and the total area is several times the size of the Earth. Treasures are something that only those who are destined to have them can get.
But there are not many civilizations that can survive here...Where are you from?
The two drones were in a silent standoff. Because they had no loudspeakers or universal radio equipment, both sides just stayed quietly on the ground, waving their robotic arms to communicate, and then writing words and drawing pictures on the ground with difficulty.
Just then, a bug crawled by and with a slight "click" sound, it stepped directly on the human drone.
Both parties immediately began to play dead, not moving a single step, as if they were thieves!
…
This unknown civilization... no, not just one civilization, but twelve civilizations! It's called the Underground Alliance! A large group of soldiers controlled 100,000 drones, happily picking up garbage, mushrooms, ores, and insect corpses, they wanted them all!
The Underground Alliance, as the name suggests, is a military, political, and economic alliance formed by a group of races living underground.
"God" is really good at choosing locations. The living environment of a civilization before and after the time travel often does not change much.
You will live where you originally lived and where you will live after you come to Pangu Continent... You may even be given some opportunities, but whether you can catch them depends entirely on yourself.
As a result, these twelve races were exiled to this corner! ! The technological levels of these races were also uneven. Some were in the feudal era, while others had entered the information age and were able to create rockets and cannons! Fortunately, at the beginning of the Ninth Era, the Zerg here were not that active.
The queen insect is still in an extremely weak period after surviving the disaster of the era. It has little combat power and its reproductive ability is not very good.
Therefore, these civilizations did not think that the external environment was that dangerous. Some feudal civilizations even opened up safe zones directly because of famine!
These low-level civilizations naturally reaped a wave of adventures and abundant extraordinary resources, allowing their individuals to quickly become stronger.
Seeing that these feudal civilizations were living so well, the more powerful technological civilizations couldn't help it. We also wanted to pick mushrooms, so we also opened the safe zone.
The two sides can even communicate peacefully and amicably - this world is so magical, and when everyone knows nothing, there is really no need to exterminate each other.
Plus, there are twelve underground races here, and a good reputation is much more important than a bad reputation! Therefore, the Underground Alliance, an alliance of 12 civilizations, has slowly formed over the past hundred years.
However, the good times did not last long. As time passed, the Zerg army multiplied wildly, and the number increased. The 12 races combined were no match for them! In order to survive, they fought and relocated their population, and finally hid in a very strange place, a mysterious place accidentally discovered by a civilization called "Dark Steel" - Dongtian! It was equivalent to a mysterious and vast "different space".
There was actually a heritage of the gear civilization in the cave! So, all 12 races retreated into the "cave", and only came out to collect some mushrooms and ores when the Zerg army was killing each other.
