Chapter 76 Communication Date

"Damn! Why are there so many?" Rambo couldn't help but swear.

Looking at the dense swarms of insects on the surveillance camera, they surrounded the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle suspended in the air like a cluster of Arhats, and they pounced on the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle fearlessly as if they were greedy leeches seeing blood for the first time!

"That's no ordinary insect!"

"That's not from this planet."

They spoke almost at the same time. Chris looked at Su Xi in surprise. Apparently, what surprised her was the pronunciation of the word "planetary product" from the omega's mouth. It was not the current interstellar common language, but a more ancient language.

What surprised her even more was that Su Xi's amber eyes were looking straight at her, pure and clear without a trace of superfluous emotion, a sense of emptiness as if she was looking at the entire vast universe...

It seemed that the omega sitting in front of her was not in the same time and space as them at this moment...

Chris didn't have time to think about Su Xi, it happened almost instantly!

The Sun-Swallowing Shuttle's intelligent defense system sensed the crisis! It instantly opened its blazing-blue outer shell defense force field, and for a moment the silver water droplet glowed brightly!

The sizzling force field even slightly distorted the surrounding air. Small air vortices began to appear on the suspended ground, carrying sand and plant debris all over the sky...

Chris held onto the podium with both hands, her forearm muscles slightly tensed. She did not ignore the tingling sense of crisis just because the insects were small.

She focused all her attention on the strange situation at hand, glanced at the various values ​​on the monitor, and decisively ordered: "The defense force field is over-stressed, immediately lower the outer shield energy!"

"Avoid destructive resonance with the aftermath of the magnetic storm!"

"yes!"

"Next," Chris looked up at the light screen surrounding the command cabin and murmured, "Let's observe these 'little cuties' first..."

"What on earth is this?"

On the external panoramic monitor, the real-time images are very clear.

The first batch of insects that rushed in were instantly crushed to ashes by the powerful force field. However, before the first batch of insect corpses were completely carbonized, the second batch rushed forward and backward as if they had no awareness of death... The second batch wrapped around the first batch and was torn apart one after another... The torn corpses and limbs were snatched and devoured by the next batch of the same species that rushed in...

At this moment, Su Xi closed her eyes and looked quiet and well-behaved in the eyes of everyone. However, only she herself knew that at this moment, she had entered a depth that she had never reached before...

Although there is still a crisis, for her who has always been on the line between life and death, the current environment is already a rare safety.

She allowed herself to sink into the communication with the center of the planet without worry.

She relaxed her consciousness and resonated with those noisy fluctuations, but pulled out before being completely "assimilated" into the resonance, in order to avoid the dilemma of having all her mental energy "drained" as in the previous two times.

Su Xi's submerged spiritual long waves instantly shot out like an arrow from a bow, or like a plucked cosmic string. She hummed softly, and the clinging chaotic sounds spread out.

'Come'

'Come here'

She escaped from the extremely heavy obstacles and continued to dive, like a nimble fish swimming into the dark deep sea.

In the process of diving and diving, Su Xi suddenly understood what those noisy sounds in the half-asleep and half-awake state at the beginning of landing on the planet meant.

Between the confusion of polar day and polar night, between the reversal of the extreme north and south

In the despair of falling into death just as it sprouts

Under the light of a dying star

The only requirement!

Between the already overburdened plunder and exploitation

Only request!

until--

Su Xi's consciousness was completely standing in a void space that seemed both illusory and real, both past and future.

The consciousness that called her, with a kind of obscure and slow almost dull wave, vibrated the entire space that contained the order of "nothingness" and "existence".

It is a kind of wave that is difficult to describe, a language formed by the resonance of the vibrations of the planet's core, with the entire universe as its piano box.

He said to Su Hee:

"My request is—"

Wave after wave of muffled echoes, a complete transmission may even take tens of millions of years to complete a complete logical circuit. It is a language that is difficult for humans, who have such a short life, to understand.

Su Xi raised her head slightly, and listened silently, as if she had assimilated into this boundless time and space...

Suddenly, the gold sand on the forehead seemed to be hot.

The heat woke her up, and with a huge sense of detachment, Su Xi returned to her current predicament.

'Okay. I'll try.'

She answered softly, trying her best to imitate the resonant waves similar to His, responding with an equivalent wave.

When the last tremor of the wave ended, Su Xi in the spiritual world trembled as she moved her left hand away from her forehead, leaving a hot mark on her palm.

Big drops of tears slid down and hit the palm of my hand

The golden particles in my palm suddenly disappeared like a firefly...

She laughed softly. It turned out that the 'answer' and 'evidence' I was looking for were right here, deep in the center of the planet beneath my feet.

then.

In the command cabin, Su Xi in reality also opened her eyes. Her slender white fingers slowly relaxed from the tightly clenched state. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. The armrest of the seat had been pinched by her, leaving a very deep handprint.

She ignored it and lowered her eyes slightly, feeling the vibration of the earth's aftershocks more carefully.

As expected, the shaking of the earth stopped! The predicted B-level earthquake wave should have reached the ground at this moment, but just as suddenly as it was triggered, it stopped just as suddenly.

But for Chris and the others, everything on the ground became eerily quiet.

Yes. Weird.

Chris suddenly had an idea. She looked at Su Xi in the corner. At this moment, Su Xi was looking at the scenery outside the porthole calmly.

All that was left was the outline of her profile, glowing faintly in the dim light outside the porthole.

"Sir, the unknown insect species scan report has been completed."

Allen's request interrupted Chris's attention to Su Xi. Chris turned his attention to the screen full of red 'unknown'. Three large lines of 'unknown race', 'unknown lineage' and 'unknown ability' flashed glaringly and rolled across the screen.

Chris frowned and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle finally came to a stop in the dry wilderness.

The protective shield maintained the lowest level of defense, and the emerald-blue defensive force field was even reduced to a distance of only thirty centimeters from the silver surface of the shuttle.

After the ground quieted down, more and more brown insects emerged from the cracks in the dry earth. In the scene magnified by the monitor, although each insect was only the size of an adult alpha's fist, the continuous surge still caused them a psychological shock...

Anyone would feel unhappy if their body was covered with insects, and the people in the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle apparently thought so too.

Compared to the entire area and volume of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, the thirty-centimeter defensive force field is as thin and light as a raincoat on the human body.

"Report to the commander," Mary asked in a serious tone, "According to the previous tactical allocation, the minimum defense energy can continue to operate for 153 hours in this state."

"Do you want to continue waiting?"

Chris replied: "Reselect a stop and leave this place for now."

After hearing Chris' instructions to Mary, Su Xi turned around and glanced at the new stop that Mary had selected on the screen. After confirming that it was in the 'safe zone', she was no longer interested.

The Sun-Swallowing Shuttle broke free from the constraints of the earth's core and took off lightly.

Looking down from the sky, beetles continued to pour out of those dry cracks, and even formed tall towers of insects in the direction where the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle left...

Until the 'Insect Tower' collapsed to the ground under the weight...

The insect swarms that lost their target began to devour each other...

This is an extremely cruel and natural competition for survival!

In Su Xi's long mental wave that was sweeping across the entire planet, the sounds of desperate struggle and devouring were clearly visible. The land and mountains that were about to collapse and fall... and the so-called "safe zone" were also clearly visible in her mind.

But Chris and the others were unaware.

The Sun-Swallowing Shuttle activated the low-altitude flight mode and strangely dragged the dense, black swarm of insects, like a movable piece of candy, until it completely left the dry wilderness that had become a gushing "insect spring" and came to a slightly higher open space to stop.

However, everyone discovered that the Zerg that were still "plugged in" on the surface of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle force field, after devouring each other, developed in an even more bizarre way!

The insect swarms that devoured the remains of their own kind had a stronger ability to resist the defensive force field. After repeating this process over and over again, they could even directly devour the defensive force field of the Dingzhu Swallowing Sun shuttle, and even blocked the energy discharge channel... and began to directly absorb the energy shield of the force field...

As the energy transforms, those tiny insect shadows become larger and larger than what can be seen with the naked eye...

While everyone's attention was focused on the 'insects' that suddenly appeared from the ground, a strange movement was heard from the heavily guarded 'prison cabin' at the bottom of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle's tail compartment.

At this time, in a corner that no one noticed, Su Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and her eyebrows wrinkled on her pale face. She couldn't help but rubbed her forehead with two fingers. When she was in sync with the spirit of the 'planetary consciousness' just now, the huge energy demand still caused a great physical burden on her.

Just now, Su Xi was retracting the long wave of spiritual power that was scanning the planet, and when the aftermath was brushed back to the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, she was suddenly...'triggered' by a slight wave?

Su Xi was slightly stunned. Then, after that extremely light and brief "resonance", a series of sharp howls echoed in her mind, and even materialized into a language that was enough to communicate, constantly disturbing and echoing in her mind...

The shrill voice said:

'hunger'

'I'm so hungry'

'Woo woo'

"I'm so hungry..."

Su Xi shook her head vigorously, and completely retracted the last long wave of mental energy, but she was troubled to find that even if she had blocked the outward mental tentacles of this new "mental wave", she could not get rid of the sharp cry that followed her like a shadow...

Finally, she was so annoyed that she released a powerful long mental wave, and tried to shake off the mental wave that was sticking to her, and she succeeded.

My mind became temporarily clear for a moment, and at the same time, my connection with the center of the planet was temporarily severed.

While Su Xi was getting rid of a certain mental wave, Chris and the others also formulated a strategy.

And start preparing for action.

Chris said calmly: "Use high energy cannons to kill them all!"

"No." Su Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Using high-energy cannons will make the situation worse! Because those outside are the companion eggs of this 'golden insect egg' that were ripened and hatched in the magnetic storm."

"At this moment, it and they are thirsty for energy...very thirsty!"

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Su Xi sighed.

She knew that the key to solving the crisis was not those 'tiny' bugs outside, but inside the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle.

In that being that was currently harassing her with a special mental frequency... the 'mother worm' that was about to hatch.

Chris hesitated for a moment, but Mary, who was responsible for carrying out the order, couldn't wait any longer.

"Ms. Naya," Mary said politely with a very tolerant smile, "Don't worry, we have already done calculations and simulations. Even if they can withstand the energy attack of the defense shield, they will never survive the high-energy particle cannon!"

After saying that, Mary looked at Chris. She found it very puzzling that Chris would care so much about any fantastic words from this omega.

"First, I admit that I really don't understand military affairs, and I shouldn't interrupt casually," Su Xi stated steadily in an absolutely objective tone. "Second, perhaps you are right. As long-abandoned, companion insect soldiers, they really can't withstand impacts with a frequency higher than the energy of the defense shield, but this is precisely the special ability that the 'egg' evolved from."

"These special 'companion' insects are the 'converters' that provide energy for the 'egg' at the bottom of the cabin." Su Xi said quickly, "If we don't kill them, we will just be trapped. And if we kill them, the energy of the bombardment will be transferred to the golden 'mother egg'."

"There is a high possibility that the 'queen worm' will hatch on the spot."

Chris looked serious: "How do you know?"

Su Xi sighed, pointed to her head, and said helplessly: "It keeps chattering, telling me."
