Lu Ning held the news about Tianmu Yi for the time being and did not tell it. She didn't know if other outposts saw the signal, but she knew that even if the advance team was destroyed, the alliance would not stop and go back.
Tai, Observer, and Ranger, no matter which one is enough to attract the attention of the alliance, today is different from the past. The development of the Canglong Alliance has to reach beyond the nebula. The Phantom Star is just one of many detection projects. Without Until a truly advanced civilization emerges, the Alliance will still maintain this pioneering pace.
"Captain, do you think it's necessary for us to make contact with Outpost No. 1?" Longmai asked in a low voice, "According to that information, they obviously don't want to have contact with people and want us to leave directly. But this kind of concealment can't help but attract people. If people continue to explore, let alone if they reveal their location, someone will definitely try to contact them."
"First of all, no one seems to be targeting Tianmu 1 yet. As a precaution for the warning contained in this message, we cannot publicize it widely. Secondly, we are still unable to judge the real purpose of sending this message. From the previous Judging from the clues collected, there has been internal discord in the team management of Pang Xu and Zheng Heng. It is still unknown whether they have betrayed others. Finally, in terms of combat effectiveness, if a battle does occur, I can’t say that we will definitely Better than Outpost No. 1, the message found by Gu Mingchuang in the Ranger building proves that they have also been exposed to these alien technologies, and as long as they understand part of them in the past fifteen years of development, their strength will be better than ours. superior."
"Sure enough, there are a lot of things to consider..." Longmai sighed, "Forget it, I'm just a technical person, it's up to you, captain, to judge the situation."
"Hey! Don't be downcast! We seem to have guests!" Spade's tone rose a little. At this time, the spacecraft was already approaching the sky above his outpost, and judging from the light signal in the distance, there was a landing craft. Moored nearby.
This distance allowed intra-team communication to be carried out through the spacecraft's antenna, so Lu Ning contacted Qiu Shu directly.
"We have returned."
"It's really fast, captain." Qiu Shu said with a smile, "I just want to report to you that the team that came to us before came here again and lost one person. I let them temporarily live in the dormitory on the third floor. area, according to what the captain said, this time they crossed the equator and they obtained a lot of important information."
"What information?"
"The captain must see you first before exchanging information. I think you will be returning soon, so it won't be too much trouble. It will just give them a little rest. Judging from their attire, they have at least experienced a fierce battle."
"I see."
At night, Lu Ning stopped disturbing Mo Lianren and his party's rest. After landing the spacecraft, he sent everyone back to the outpost. He checked the status of the environmental modification weapons before returning to the room.
The scheduled report has been sent out, still in the business-like format. In addition, there were also some communication applications accumulated in the communication. She clicked on them one by one, but there was no response to many of them, until a communication from AL-007 was quickly connected.
"AL-007! Good morning!"
The voice was not concealed, and this voice also made Lu Ning feel a little familiar. She still maintained her electronic voice and replied: "DU-003. What's the matter with the communication?"
"Your number is very high! Then you shouldn't reject me." AL-007 said in an excited tone, "We found some personnel notes from the historical records here, and then found a person named Beast God Valley. This is the nickname given to this place by the members of the advance team. It is said that there are a large number of B-level phantom beasts roaming there!"
"Typical danger zone."
"But danger and opportunity coexist! B-level fantasy beasts, if we can study them clearly, how many valuable things can they bring us? Bionics, right? That place is a volcanic zone, with rift valleys crisscrossing it. Naturally The conditions are extremely bad, and I asked several teams but they were not willing to go there!”
At this time, Lu Ning finally recalled who this slightly excited voice belonged to. Just thinking of this name made her feel like there was a smell of gunpowder in her nose.
"I need a specific risk rating. A large number of B-class fantasy beasts are beyond our ability to deal with. The best way to deal with it is orbital bombing, not to mention that there are more dangers in volcanic areas."
"Don't worry! This plan is planned in three days! Everyone has enough time to prepare! So you agree?"
Lu Ning really wanted to see what Luo Xiao was planning, so he said, "If there is specific information, I can agree to this operation. If the B-level fantasy beasts are not eliminated, it will become a disaster. We must take precautions." In the future.”
"Hahaha! That's right! And we have contacted several teams after all. But each team has prepared its own equipment. Don't face the B-class fantasy beasts that lack firepower."
"I am certain."
"Awesome! Goodbye!"
When the communication ended, Lu Ning shook her head, suddenly not wanting to continue connecting to other communications. Luo Xiao also moved quickly and quickly sent a piece of information to Lu Ning.
It is located on another continent in the southern hemisphere. That continent was actually formed by the collision of two continental fragments. Therefore, it is covered with volcanic belts, and its area is not very large. Because it is located close to the poles, the advance team simply established multiple outposts in the poles to observe the volcanic continent through low-altitude satellites and drones.
Lu Ning used keyword search and saw records about the Beast God Valley from his own records.
Outpost No. 48 participated in two operations in total. The first time was outside the Beast God Valley, where it encountered a volcanic eruption. The mission was forcibly terminated just two days after it started, and basically returned without success. The second time, they entered the Beast God Valley, where the robot exploration team suffered heavy losses, and the final description was "There are social B-level phantom beasts at this location, and they are unable to defeat them, so they retreat." 】
Lu Ning thought for a while, assigned the processes of several production lines, and then went back to rest.
The next day, she met Mo Lianren in the small conference room. Surprisingly, she was not wearing a helmet.
"Why did you take off your helmet?"
"It's broken." Mo Lianren shrugged, "There's no way to replace it, so I don't have to worry about the threat of those messy Phantom Star viruses. At least everything I am doing is normal now."
Lu Ning sighed softly and asked Mo Lianren to sit down.
"You fought hard."
"A fierce battle." Mo Lianren corrected, "Don't look down on my team. At least we injured several B-level phantom beasts. If an unknown entity hadn't interfered with us in the end, we could have even escaped unscathed."
"That's the wrong word I used." This was not the first day that Lu Ning knew that Mo Lianren actually had a bad temper. The scene when he heard the deduction of points and hit him was still vivid in his mind.
"Sorry. Anyway... I think I need to inform someone. But BW-001, our leader, I can't trust. She issued a message asking our team to go to her outpost if there is any loss. Supplies, to put it lightly, in fact, most of those who went there have been collected.”
"Aren't you a soldier?"
"That's why I don't like meaningless recruitment. And I later became a free mercenary, so I hated it even more." Mo Lianren crossed his arms, "Anyway, let's not talk about that, you are the only one I have in this scene. I know someone I know and trust, so I flew back, but I didn’t expect you to be out too... What’s the mission?”
"Alien base." Lu Ningyan said concisely.
"There really is everything on this planet." Mo Lianren nodded, "The last thing we found was some kind of alien building, nailed into the ground like a steel drill."
"Is it a rock structure or a metal structure?"
"Metal structure." Mo Lianren said, "The overall structure of that thing is very much like an underground root, with the main axis as the center and extending outward. The entire building is occupied by fantasy beasts, and the environment has become suitable for those The state of the phantom beasts’ existence, I simply doubt that the phantom beasts on this planet were released from there.”
"Why do you think so?"
"Because we discovered this thing when we cleared the first floor." Mo Lianren opened the terminal on his arm and adjusted a picture, "Look."
It was the architectural style of the Rangers that Lu Ning was familiar with, but unlike the building she explored that was full of desires, this place looked more like a factory. Several huge metal shells like hills are neatly arranged in the picture. It is conceivable that there are similar things outside the picture.
"The height of these large metal covers is about eight to ten meters. Below is a huge circle with a diameter of about twenty meters. Near the entrance, we found a running machine with a large amount of metal on it. Blocks, at least several hundred, are turned out and put together by a mechanical device that doesn't know what's going on inside." Mo Lianren adjusted to the next picture, which was a rectangular parallelepiped with two horizontal grids on the top, and some blocks came from the inside. It rises, some falls, and it's in this middle state in the picture, which looks a little bumpy.
"It looks a lot like..."
"Random generator." Mo Lianren nodded, "We have been observing for a long time and found that this thing is randomly arranged, and every time an arrangement is completed, there will be a slight noise from a metal cover."
"Noise inside?"
"Yes, most of the first floor are D-level and E-level phantom beasts, but the number is so overwhelming that people can't handle it. This number is too strange no matter how you think about it. By the way, those roots extending from the main trunk 'The material of some parts is not the same as the metal body itself, but it looks like the nest dug by these phantom beasts themselves."
"What's wrong with this damn place?" Lu Ning became increasingly confused about what the Rangers were doing back then. This factory is likely to be a place where the excellent genes they obtained are reassembled to create life. However, isn't their goal to create gods? What's the point of making a bunch of waste products? And it's out of control now?
The most troubling thing is that the Rangers did not leave any data, and Mo Lianren also said that he did not find any records about the phantom beasts in that building.
The exploration of the entire building actually only reached the third floor, where Mo Lianren's team suddenly encountered several B-class fantasy beasts. However, according to her, due to the internal terrain factors, these B-class fantasy beasts The super phantom beasts were not able to exert their full strength. She and her team were able to fight these monsters back and forth by relying on various obstacles. The problem was that about thirty minutes after the battle started, a kind of monster surged from below. The strange energy directly penetrated the protective clothing, causing everyone to suffer from severe dizziness and nausea. Due to this reason, one member was lost, and several people were injured and had to retreat.
"Let me put it this way, those B's are obviously guarding something. Their attack is actually driving us away from a certain direction. If we are not close to that side, the attack will not be very violent, but once we get close, Those B-level ones are trying their best to drive us away. As for the one at the lower level, it may be a more powerful B-level phantom beast, or even..."
Mo Lianren winked at Lu Ning.
Is it really possible for an A-level creature rated as "supernatural" to exist on this planet?
Both of them are very clear about the alliance's standards. The bottom line standard for A-level creatures is that they can cause huge natural disasters at the planet level and can survive and move even in space. If the entire classification is refined, there are four energy levels. , this is the expert's assessment of this top-notch creature. However, no matter which level they are at, it does not change the powerful nature of these creatures - only fleets have the ability to compete with them.
"We don't know the situation underground yet, so don't classify it directly into Category A for the time being." Lu Ning coughed lightly, "Since you discovered this place and are not going to report it, are you planning to explore it later?"
"I can't tell." Mo Lianren shook his head. "I don't know what opportunities or harms this place will bring. I don't even know how it is related to our mission. It is precisely because I am not sure that I I want to discuss it with someone."
"Then let me go back and discuss it with others. In fact, several team leaders are busy with things right now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to spare any time to take care of this matter. By the way, since you are not sure about where, why not go to another place with me? Where to look?"
Lu Ning opened yesterday's information.
"Beast God Valley? I've heard of this place." Mo Lianren nodded.
"Have you heard of it?"
"In order to complete the first mission, I also restarted an outpost on the way, but I copied all the information and ignored it. During the flight, I just read the information to relieve my boredom."
"Do you have any records there?"
"A researcher has obtained some geological information there, and his research results are quite concerning. He believes that the Beast God Valley volcanic belt is not naturally formed, even though it is at the intersection of tectonic plates."
Lu Ning frowned.
"Maybe it's more necessary for us to go there."
