"dad!"
Almost the moment Lin An walked in, the eyes of the little mutant with a keen sense of smell lit up, and the nose that looked like two slits on the ugly snake's head began to twitch rapidly.
I saw one big one and one small one, and the two little guys ran towards Lin An happily.
As if he wanted his father to praise him, the youngest alien blinked and lowered his head, as if letting Lin An touch his head.
The slender and bloody skull was inlaid with several scales of the second level aura.
For alien species, lacking all resources, the scales peeling off their bodies are the best equipment and clothes.
"Red Fang? Are you back!?"
In the underground cave that seemed to be the size of two rooms, the female mutant was also a little excited.
But unlike the little alien who was ignorant, she looked at Lin An's bulging belly in disguise and felt distressed as she hurriedly took out a ball of mucus from the cave wall next to her.
After carefully holding out a little, he quickly walked to Lin An's side.
It seems that this mucus has the effect of healing wounds.
"Is it more dangerous out there than before?"
"Sit down and rest. Next time, let me go out instead..."
As he spoke, the alien with milky white scales looked at Lin An's injuries with distress, stretched out his fingers to apply mucus, and even trembled a little when he touched the wounds.
With so many injuries, he must have touched those snake eagles. Red Fang's entire back was scorched by those monsters' acid...
Seeing that Hongya's injury has never healed, if possible, she would rather go out by herself next time.
It's too dangerous out there. Weak alien species like them have to work very hard to survive.
"Dad, is there food in your stomach?"
"I'm so hungry..."
Hissing out his pink tongue, the little alien looked at Lin An's belly eagerly, as if it was full of delicious food.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the white alien with slightly red eyes scolded him softly.
"Let daddy take a rest, little greedy snake..."
"Go and bring daddy a basin of water."
After saying that, the white alien hurriedly held back his tears.
Since the apocalypse broke out, water resources have been too precious. They don't even have the right to cry. A drop of water can moisten the skin after atomization, but it is not easy to shed tears.
Although Hongya never spit out food after coming in, she just thought Hongya was too tired.
She knew that Hongya was reluctant to eat it, but if the crystal stayed in her stomach for a while, Hongya could absorb more precious energy.
At the same time, Lin An, who had not spoken since he walked in, moved his eyes slightly. He tried his best to imitate the expression of the dead alien, squeezed out a smile, and nodded gently.
He never spoke, but continued to gather information from these alien conversations.
Not speaking is not because you don’t know how to speak.
With a systematic translator, there was no problem with his communication. But every civilization and race has its own language habits, and he must minimize the possibility of exposing himself.
Seeing the little alien running obediently into another room, Lin An didn't feel much in his heart.
To be honest, the scene in front of me was very "warm".
Whether it was a small mutant or this white mutant, he could feel that the other person had sincere feelings for the mutant he was pretending to be.
Worry, care, love, fear...
The entire cave is more like an Eskimo igloo, but built underground.
It's a rough environment, but that doesn't stop it from being neatly organized and clean.
Large and small "cabinets" were carved out of the polished rock wall. The two rooms were respectively the place where the little alien and he slept.
Judging from the energy (food) reserves in the cave, the three alien species must have been hungry for a long time...
Under his mental scanning, the entire underground gathering place was the size of more than a dozen football fields.
Different from the layout habits of humans, the aliens here seem to have no awareness of living in groups. Instead, thousands of small caves, large and small, were dug underground. At the core of the ground is a huge underground square. It seems to be used for gatherings.
For Lin An, this is obviously not good.
Although it can prevent him from coming into contact with a large number of alien species from the beginning and exposing himself.
but...
It's too spread out and it will take some time to kill him.
"Dad, drink water."
Staggeringly, a small alien creature held a plastic water cup and carefully held it in front of Lin An.
I saw that wherever there was water in the water cup, it was basically something like mud. The liquid was extremely turbid and even had a corrosive smell. Lin An had no doubt that if an ordinary human were here, he would probably have a stomach ache after drinking it in one gulp.
But noticing the greedy look on the little alien species, it was obvious that the thing called water was the mud containing water that these alien species dug out from the ground with difficulty.
"Because we need to avoid corrosion from acid rain and be close to a "water source"..."
"So these aliens choose to live underground?"
"No, there should be another reason to avoid monsters."
Lin An forced out a stiff smile and raised his hand to refuse the drink. There is nothing wrong with him drinking this stuff, but there is no need to drink it.
He noticed that the epidermis of these alien species was severely peeled off. And their bodies are not very capable of growing hard bone scales. Therefore, in order to reduce water consumption, these alien species probably used forcible destruction of their bodies during the "evolution" process to remove all the fragile flesh and blood that required a large amount of water to maintain, and replaced them with pure bones.
"A very tenacious race. The place I am in should belong to a remote area of alien civilization?"
With his eyes fixed on the plastic cup, Lin An watched thoughtfully as the little alien carefully drank the water.
Plastic cup, a typical industrial product.
Alien civilizations once had advanced technology, and he knew this.
But according to what he sees now, the aliens here are worse off than the Tianmu people on the ground, which is obviously abnormal. Alien species, but there are emperor-level existences. Lin An doesn't believe that this group of alien species will cause such a misery as the genocide.
There are only two reasons.
First, the place he entered by smuggling was located in the most desolate area of the alien world. The number of aliens here was not large, and the degree of civilization retained was not high.
Second, the alien world is extremely cruel inside and pursues an absolute power dominance system. The living conditions of low-level alien species and high-level alien species are extremely different!
Of course, it's also possible to have both.
For Lin An, he needed to collect intelligence quickly and find several large alien gathering places as quickly as possible, and kill them at the limit of his range.
If it was the former, he would have to find a way to find a specific location and leave after solving this problem.
If it's the latter...that's a bit of a problem.
A world system that pursues absolute power rule often means a high concentration of power...
It is very likely that in a certain gathering place in the alien world, there are hundreds of millions of level three and an unknown number of level four...
"First figure out the situation. If they are all gathered together...it means..."
With the three alien species unable to detect, a hint of silence flashed through Lin An's heart.
If quality is not enough, make up for it with quantity.
The alien species are concentrated together, which means that if he wants to level up quickly, he can only massacre these low-level alien species in the early stage...
"A second-level mutant, bonus points..."
"0.00001..."
"Compared to the third level, it is almost 30,000 times worse..."
"One attribute after the fourth level costs 80 points. This means that I need to kill 800,000 second-level alien species to get some attributes..."
"If it's a rule, three hundred points is three million."
"And the number of points I need, at least..."
"Thirty thousand!"
"A hundred rule fragments may be enough for me to forcibly upgrade from the fourth level to the advanced level?"
"so..."
Sitting on the bed, Lin An's eyes flashed with a disregard for life and a deep chill.
Three hundred million alien species?
It doesn't sound like much...
Right now, there are thousands of them.
