There is dead silence in a vacuum, and sound cannot travel.
The screams of the bugs cannot be heard by anyone but themselves.
The strangling vines were still so powerful. The slender stabs on the surface easily tore through the bugs' carapace and tore their bodies into pieces.
On the one hand, everyone was shocked by the grand scene in front of them, and on the other hand, they were pleased with the powerful strength of the organization.
"Huh? No!"
In the crowd, Ji Xiaoqi's expression changed slightly after observing carefully for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Dean on the side asked curiously.
"Look carefully and see the attack movements of those vines."
Ji Xiaoqi's face didn't look good.
After hearing this, Dean observed it more carefully, and then the expression on his face changed slightly.
"What's wrong with you? What riddles are you playing?"
Tina was the closest to them. At this time, she heard the conversation between the two, and her curiosity was aroused.
Ji Xiaoqi looked around and whispered:
"Let's go, there are too many people here, it's not convenient to talk, come with me!"
As she spoke, she quickly came to an uninhabited area on the side.
Tina followed. She looked at the battle that had ended outside and the location of the spaceship. She was filled with confusion.
"We are about to land, Xiaoqi, what on earth were you talking about just now, making it so mysterious."
Ji Xiaoqi didn't speak, but spread out her hand to project the image of her watch onto her palm, and played a video.
"Look here, this is the record of the strangler vine just killing the bug."
She paused and zoomed in on the screen, then pointed to a certain place in it and explained:
"This kind of wild insect, we call it 'Flying Wing', is a flying unit of the Zerg. It is characterized by its light weight, fast speed, and it can also spray a green corrosive acid, which is very effective."
"However, the weakness of the flying wings is that their defense is relatively low. Their carapace is not thick. An ordinary automatic rifle can penetrate it within 100 meters, and a pistol can penetrate it within 20 meters. The strength of its carapace is approximately equivalent to a 3.5mm thick A3 Steel plate.”
Ji Xiaoqi first explained the data of this insect. As an awakener, these are the most basic information.
Tina nodded. She knew some of what the other party was talking about. After all, she was also the head of the Biological Research Department, and some of the data was provided by her research.
"But Sister Tina, look here, is the color of the carapace on these bugs any different from what we have seen before?"
Tina looked at it carefully and then said:
"There is a difference, it seems that the color has become darker... Well, the top seems to be smoother... Wait a minute, I remember that the carapace of these insects is not so slippery... Could it be..."
When she said this, she seemed to think of something, and her expression changed accordingly.
Ji Xiaoqi nodded.
"Yes, this is not a coincidence! Instead, every wild insect has similar changes! I remember clearly that when the strangling vines attack the flying wings, they can usually tear apart their external defenses with just one blow. , but look here..."
She pointed to the pattern on it.
"It's obvious that part of the attack of those vines has been deflected, and when it penetrates the monster's body, sometimes it takes two or more pulls to kill them!"
"So, if I guessed correctly, these wild insects have evolved! They are adapting to such attacks!"
As soon as Ji Xiaoqi said these words, Tina's expression turned into one of astonishment. She studied biology herself and knew very well what such a change meant.
"Is it the adaptive evolution of living things... How could this happen... Generally speaking, such evolution takes a very long time, but these bugs have gradually begun to adapt in such a short period of time. This What kind of race is it..."
The shock on her face slowly turned into concern, then back into a hint of fear.
"Ji Xiaoqi, does our boss know this? We'd better tell him about this right away!"
Dean said.
Ji Xiaoqi looked at the quiet scene outside and knew that the spaceship had landed. She nodded immediately, turned around and walked towards the exit.
The Dawn is very large and will not land easily. It will be too troublesome once it arrives, and it will easily attract the attention of others.
But it's different on the moon and on the ground. It's inside the shield, no one can see it, and there's plenty of open space, so you don't have to worry about having no place to park the ship.
At this time, due to the transformation of the World Tree, the environment in the shield has become the same as that on the Aquamarine Planet, fully capable of allowing life to survive freely here.
This is very similar to those wild insects, except that the insects adjust their own adaptability, while the World Tree can change an entire area.
However, because it had just been renovated, the place still looked bare on the outside.
But with the shield acting as the atmosphere, the surroundings are no longer so dark. Although the appearance is not as blue and bright as on the Aqua Blue Star, it is also brighter.
A group of researchers have disembarked from the spacecraft one after another. This time they did not wear spacesuits, but they moved just like Aquamarine.
At this time, this group of people looked around like curious babies. This way of freely landing on the moon really opened their eyes.
Zhang Xiaoman was watching this scene from outside the spaceship. He came one step ahead.
"Star Lord!"
Ji Xiaoqi ran over in a hurry.
"It's you. It seems that the things have been sold. How is it? Is it going well?"
"Yes, £2 billion, and the guy said he would pay it off within three days."
"Well, not bad, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. It seemed that things were indeed as he thought. These rich people were quite afraid of death.
However, he turned around and looked at the bare surroundings, and then thought of the purchase applications sent by people from the research department, and felt a little headache.
This 2 billion may seem like a lot, but for scientific research projects, the most you can do is buy a better machine.
There are at least seven or eight departments in the research department. People from each department come to ask for equipment. Each department has a gap of at least two units. Coupled with the construction of the lunar base, these 2 billion are really not enough. Can't even splash water.
"Star Master, I have discovered something else here. When we came in just now, we were attacked by wild insects. The shield blocked their attack. Those guys were all killed by the vines."
Ji Xiaoqi got down to business.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded: "Well, these star sequences have been reported to me just now."
"But, I just discovered something!"
Ji Xiaoqi said, turning on her watch again and playing the previous impact.
"Star Lord, look here, these guys are different now from when we saw them on Aquamarine. They seem to be adapting to our attack methods. I'm worried if this continues..."
Looking at the holographic image in the opponent's palm, Zhang Xiaoman sighed slightly:
"I already know everything you said."
"Ah! You already knew this?"
Ji Xiaoqi was slightly shocked.
"Then, what should we do with the evolution of these wild insects? I'm worried that if this continues, the attack of the strangling vines will no longer be able to affect them..."
Zhang Xiaoman naturally understands the girl's concerns, and he himself is not worried.
These days, he has been thinking about how to deal with the Zerg on the moon, but these guys have such a strong reproductive ability, just like leeks, they grow again after cutting.
Moreover, they are very stubborn. They can dig a hole in any place and the whole family can grow a nest by eating the soil together. It is undoubtedly very difficult to completely eradicate them.
Although the Dawn can find these lurking bugs through the scanning system, this is not Aquablue Star. Even if it is found, it will be difficult to kill them hiding underground.
Therefore, he can only hold on to this shield first, wait for the insects to fall into the trap, and then use the strangling vines to easily kill them.
I don’t know if those guys have always been obsessed with the Moon Tree, or if the World Tree is more attractive, or for some other reason.
In short, as long as a new batch of them grows in number, they will try to attack the shield here, and then they will all be wiped out by the strangling vines.
Such attacks on the moon have become a daily routine.
Zhang Xiaoman was naturally not surprised by this.
"Don't worry, I already have a solution for the wild insects, but there are still some things that need to be done to completely eliminate them, so you don't have to worry too much."
He comforted the girl in front of him.
As the leader of the organization, he now has a lot of insights of his own.
No matter what happens, his attitude is the most important. He cannot show lack of confidence in front of the members, especially when facing these alien species, which will seriously affect everyone's morale.
However, what Zhang Xiaoman said just now is not groundless. He does have some ideas, but such methods still need to be tried, and they are not guaranteed.
After Ji Xiaoqi saw the appearance of her boss, her originally uneasy heart calmed down, and it didn't take long for her to return to her usual state.
Like the researchers, she first looked around curiously, but this place was really desolate. Apart from the moon forest and the World Tree, there was nothing else.
After wandering around between the two, Ji Xiaoqi quickly lost interest. She had been to the mother tree of the World Tree on Aquamarine more than once, so she was not as novel about it as ordinary people.
It doesn't hurt for Tina and others. They have formal jobs here. The experience of seeing the scenery is just incidental. Everyone still has a lot of things to do.
Ji Xiaoqi quickly ran back. She first looked at the personal information in her watch, which recorded some of her data in the organization in detail.
Name: Ji Xiaoqi
StarNet codename: Xihe
Stage: Enlightenment
Branch hall: Yaoguang Hall
Level: Guardian
Contribution value: 365
Merits: 177
…
She looked at her personal information, her eyes mainly focused on the contribution points and merits in it.
Needless to say, meritorious deeds are the numerical values that increase the level of the awakened person. She is not far from the 200 points of the next level.
She now wants to use her contribution points to exchange for some products. She has not developed any dark energy formula, so the 365 points are all earned by her recent hard work fighting monsters and have been saved for a while.
Ji Xiaoqi has already found many desired props and branding skills in the mall. This time she plans to report to the Star Master, and then she can receive the items in a few days.
"Brother Man, Brother Man, I have some contributions that I would like to redeem. Can you help me deliver the goods?"
She happily ran to Zhang Xiaoman. She, the first batch of awakened people, had always had a good relationship with the boss.
So when there is no one else around, they will directly call Zhang Xiaoman "Brother Man", just like they did on the Barlia.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at her, feeling a little helpless.
This girl has the kind of character of a farm rat. She especially likes to save things, including contribution points. Now, except for Lin Sisi, she has contributed the most here.
"Well, you are finally willing to spend your contribution. How about it? What do you want in exchange?"
When Ji Xiaoqi heard this, she picked up her fingers and began to make calculations:
"Well, I want to exchange for a four-leaf clover, a communication skill, a jade slip, a cage of steamed buns, two bottles of inspiration potion, a bottle of sun essence... By the way, I also need to upgrade my magic shield skill... …”
She spoke one by one, and soon came up with a long list.
Zhang Xiaoman was full of clues after hearing this. He couldn't remember where to go to so many things. He wanted to interrupt her, but he saw that she was too involved in what she was talking about and was too embarrassed to interrupt.
After a while, Ji Xiaoqi finished counting her wish shopping cart, and then looked at Zhang Xiaoman expectantly.
"Are you willing to use all your contributions at once? But it's okay. Improving your strength early will be more helpful for future battles."
Zhang Xiaoman first followed her topic and then said:
"From now on, if you want to exchange items in the future, you don't have to go to the trouble of coming to me. I have just developed a new ability using the World Tree. In the future, you can directly pass through the star as long as you are in the shield. I went to the online mall to buy it.”
As he spoke, Ji Xiaoqi opened the mall with a puzzled look on his face, and brought up a four-leaf flower purchase page.
"Well, actually, I was just about to announce this. Now that you're here, I'll let you try it out first."
Zhang Xiaoman clicked the purchase button in the mall, and 10 points were instantly deducted from his points, and then the system displayed the message "Purchase successful, please wait."
Then he looked at the ground in front of him, as if waiting for something.
