After receiving Lin Lin's instruction, Wisdom Eyes connected the communication request from Fried and projected Fried in front of Lin Lin.
Before Fried could speak, Lin Lin took the lead and asked, "Fried, is this thing related to your starry sky octopus?"
Fried on the other side was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is a starry octopus, but he seems to have lost his self-awareness."
"Self-awareness?" Lin Lin was stunned and said slowly: "Did you admit your mistake? Maybe there is another octopus race that looks more similar to the starry sky octopus? If it is other races, their minds are not connected. It should be normal, right?"
"No." Fried in the projection shook his head and said, "I didn't confirm that this was a starry sky octopus by its appearance, but by a special telepathy that only our starry sky octopus family has. of."
Telepathy? Lin Lin did know that apart from humans, other races had more or less strange abilities. For example, there was a race on Proxima Centauri that could emit high-voltage electricity by itself.
Even if we don’t talk about distant places, there are electric eels even on the earth, right?
"Then how do you want to deal with this thing?" Lin Lin turned his head and glanced at the huge octopus that was slowly molting out. While Lin Lin and Fried were talking, the octopus had already come out more than half and was being eaten at this time. Ziyu kept shooting in the distance, but the effect was minimal. Hitting the starry octopus with the railgun was like a small stone thrown into the sea, without any ripples.
"What's my idea?" Fried pondered: "I want to try to talk to him. Maybe this tribesman still retains his consciousness? Even if it doesn't work, I can take another look at the tribesman."
"What if he can't awaken his sense of self?"
Freed was silent again for a while, then said: "I will kill him with my own hands and not let him continue to be tortured."
After hearing this answer, Lin Lin felt complicated in his heart. What Fried wanted most was to find his tribe, but now he has found it, but his tribe has turned into this ghostly appearance, and has also lost his self-awareness. , turned into a puppet under the instructions of others.
However, if Fried was allowed to go by himself, Lin Lin still felt that it was not safe. What if the starry octopus suddenly went crazy and slapped Fried to death? No, although Lin Lin knew that Fried had many good things for self-defense, what he had to face was another starry octopus, and it was so much bigger than Fried. It was not safe no matter how he looked at it. .
In the end, Lin Lin decided to drive the Gale Assassin behind Fried. In this way, even if there was an emergency, Lin Lin would at least have a chance to rescue Fried.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Lin finally made up his mind and said to Fried: "Fried, I will come up to pick you up first, and then I will drive you there in the Gale Assassin. This is relatively safer."
"But if you come with me, you will also be in danger." Fried expressed confusion about Lin Lin's suggestion. Even he himself could not guarantee that this starry octopus had lost its self-awareness. If he can successfully awaken his self-awareness, if he is not careful, he may die there.
"Shut your mouth, we are friends, aren't we?" Lin Lin said with a smile. To his friends, he didn't care whether it was dangerous or not.
Seeing Lin Lin's firm eyes in the projection, Fried said sincerely: "Yes, we are friends, thank you, Lin Lin."
"Brother, why are you saying thank you?" Lin Lin laughed, then drove the Gale Assassin towards the sky to where the spaceship was.
Below, Buluo, who had finally escaped from the starry sky octopus, cursed: "Damn it, I almost died. Fortunately, I have top-notch skills."
At this time, Bullo also understood that with his strength, in front of the octopus, he was like a child meeting a strong man. There was no threat at all. At most, he could click its teeth.
Turning to look at the octopus that was molting, Bullough suddenly thought, where is the helper that Mayor Ike hired? Why is he missing? Then Buluo glanced at the octopus again and murmured: "Good guy, you were eaten so quickly? It seems that you are a better mecha than me. In terms of strength, I am better after all. .”
Thinking of this, Buluo couldn't help but laugh up at the sky. If you suddenly show up to show off, are you pretending to be gone now?
"Brother Buluo, are you okay?" Ziyu's voice came from the headset. Since he had been shooting at the starry sky octopus, Ziyu didn't know where Buluo went after he escaped from the octopus's bloody mouth.
"Of course, you don't care who I am? I'm your captain, your boss, how can something happen so easily?" Bullock said proudly, even though he was so scared by the starry octopus that he almost peed his pants, now At this moment, he still looked confident.
After learning that Buluo was fine, Ziyu was relieved. Although she didn't like Buluo very much, he was the captain of her team after all, and he was now considered a combat unit. Knowing that he didn't You still have to ask after death.
"Then can Brother Buluo still fight? I think the next battle will be more difficult than just now." Ziyu looked solemnly at the starry sky octopus that was about to escape from the sandworm's body. The flexibility of the octopus is not comparable to that of the sandworm. Yes.
Looking at the suction cups on the tentacles of the starry octopus that were the size of human heads, Ziyu couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. If his mecha was sucked by that thing, would he still have a chance to escape?
Fortunately, Ziyu is a long-range combat unit, and there is basically no chance of close combat. What's more, isn't Lin Lin's Gale Assassin still there? With him here, he doesn't have to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Ziyu turned to look at where Lin Lin was just now. There was no one there.
Eh? Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised, where is the helper invited by Mayor Ike? What about the Gale Assassin? Where did you go? Who stole my big Wind Assassin?
"Brother Buluo, have you seen that Wind Assassin?" Ziyu asked.
"Who knows? Maybe he thought he could kill the octopus alone, so he rushed up to it and was choked. I would say these people are too impulsive nowadays and are not elegant at all." Blow didn't even think about it, and directly He spoke, completely forgetting that he was almost swallowed by the starry sky octopus just now.
"Brother Buluo, can you still fight?" Ziyu looked at the octopus in the starry sky in the distance. Although her mecha had melee weapons, it was just a beam sword. What's more, she herself had never experienced piloting a mecha. A's close combat training requires her to rush forward and fight an octopus, so it would be better for her to directly self-destruct the mecha, which would lead to death anyway.
Hearing this, Bullock glanced at the red-lit screen in the cockpit, which showed that Bullock's mecha had multiple injuries. Not only had the fuel tank been bitten by an octopus just now, he was still escaping at full speed. Moving, while the mecha is consuming fuel, the breach in the outer fuel tank is still leaking out crazily. At this time, the fuel has bottomed out. Let alone fighting, even flying again is a problem.
"I probably can't. We failed this time with the commission. Who would have thought that we just came to this planet for a vacation and that a commission I just picked up casually could be so difficult." Bloo sighed. Originally, it was so difficult. He just thought that he would get rid of the big bug, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Even if his teammates were corroded by the blood of the sandworm and lost their fighting ability, they still didn't take the sandworm to heart. 33
In Bullo's opinion, it's just a bug with corrosive blood. He only needs to operate it briefly. Isn't that easy? But he didn't expect that this bug would have a helper to help it recover. Not only that, but they finally had a helper to help them solve the problem of Dark Cloud. He thought he could understand the commission, but who could have guessed that this There's actually an octopus hidden inside the worm, and it's such a big one!
"Then, are we giving up?" Ziyu asked doubtfully.
"No!" Bullo denied, and said to Ziyu earnestly: "We don't call it giving up, it calls stopping the loss in time. In order to avoid our lives being threatened, we need to retreat strategically. As for this octopus, this thing is very dangerous. It’s obviously something we can’t handle, so we need to invite the professionals in the league to come over.”
Ziyu also agreed with Buluo's decision. After all, now that Lin Lin has disappeared and Buluo has lost his combat effectiveness, the only person present who can cause harm to the octopus is himself, except for the army below. But the attack just now She also saw that her own railgun could not cause effective damage to the octopus, let alone the weapons of the army. Hitting the octopus was like tickling it.
While they were talking for a while, the starry sky octopus had completely come out of the sandworm's body and was floating in the air heading towards the army. He was really hungry. Although the sandworm had been eating, it was only a supplement after all. For the sandworm itself, the starry sky octopus residing in the sandworm's body can barely absorb energy. He is in urgent need of replenishing his body's energy.
Seeing the starry octopus begin to move, Bullo was unequivocal and dialed Mayor Ike's personal computer directly: "Mayor Ike? We have decided to withdraw."
"Why?" Mayor Ike's heart sank. Apart from the army, he could only rely on them. If they left, what could he do to resist this thing?
Mayor Ike's resentment towards Bullock's team was too great. Not only did he watch his own people being massacred by sandworms, but a team that had just participated in the battle, in less than five minutes, only There are only two left who can still move. If the mysterious man who didn't know where he came from solved the dark cloud, there might be one missing.
Some people died, but not completely...
