Chapter 149: Aftermath

The white gatherer shook his body, and white debris fell from his body like snowflakes, revealing the normal hue of a gatherer.

At this time, Si's thinking had finally recovered from the chaos, and the machine, which looked like a diesel engine and was constantly running, had already been destroyed by stray bullets in the battle just now.

“…… Huh? ”

"I ...... What's going on? ”

Before he could react to what was happening, he didn't know if he hadn't fully recovered his consciousness, or if he was too stupid to understand the situation he was facing.

"Did you have a good time with this 'expedition'?"

Familiar with the life field signal that cannot be familiar, Si is naturally the master who recognizes this life field signal, which is the supreme will that every gatherer is more loyal than the absolute allegiance.

The groggy mind suddenly became clear, just like a drunken low-level employee suddenly saw the leader who came to inspect, in addition to being shocked and afraid, especially feeling the other party's slightly angry mood fluctuations, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

Huogu's question made Si think for a moment, and then answer truthfully.

"Happy."

"Huh?"

The slight anger in the life field suddenly turned into boundless rage, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even think simply, so he hurriedly changed his words and revised his answer.

"Uh, no, not happy! Yes, not happy! ”

The boundless fury disappeared in an instant, not that Hogu was no longer annoyed by Si's unauthorized actions, but it suddenly found that this annoyance was meaningless, and the gatherer himself had a low IQ, so being angry about this kind of thing was not similar to being angry with a husky on Earth?

Criticism is for the wrongdoer to learn a lesson, and there will be no next time, but all this is only possible if the wrongdoer has a high IQ and at least can understand why he is being criticized.

So, Hogu decided to get straight to the point and ask things clear.

“…… That's not what I'm trying to hear. ”

"Why did you sneak into the alien colony without permission, and drill into a place like the Vault where the aliens are gathered?"

"This ......"

As soon as Huo Gu asked like this, Si's communication words became fragmented.

"What? Is there anything you can't say to me? ”

"Ahh No, it's not, it's not like that, it's just a little complicated and I don't know where to start......"

"Then start with what you think needs to be explained, I have the patience for this."

"Yes!"

Si, who was so frightened by Huo Gu, hurriedly explained, for fear of misunderstanding, and was like a little white rabbit who was frightened because he was targeted by hunters.

However, while Hogu was waiting for Si to say what was going on, through the 'threads' arranged in the passage, Hogu knew that a large number of aliens wearing exoskeletons had begun to move in the shelter, and the automatic doors in the passage could hear the thick accent of the gear biting, and it had thickened a lot.

Obviously, the aliens have noticed the anomaly and reacted accordingly, most likely the group of aliens wearing exoskeletons who sent a distress or warning to the command during the battle just now.

"This place is not suitable for conversation, I'll take you out of here first."

The 'tulle' hidden in the ruins of the library room came out, but at this time its appearance was not 'thin' at all, but a slightly colored transparent body like jelly.

He watched in amazement as the cluster of cells split into dozens of small individuals, which then went to the passage outside the library, fiddling with the corpses of each alien.

"Will, what is this going to do?"

"Camouflage the scene, you can't make the aliens realize our true power."

Repair the bodies of these aliens, and then those exoskeletons, and after repairing, re-create the damage in the new place that looks like it was cut by something, and each of the alien corpses is full of anger, and their eyes are wide open, as if they have seen something terrible, and they have been placed in a different position.

The storage box, which was used as a trace of Hogu, was broken down into crumbs by Hogu and scattered in the ruins of the library.

At first glance, it seems that these alien warriors are being attacked by something unknown beyond their cognition, as for where the aliens' thinking circuits will deviate, it has nothing to do with Huogu, as long as they don't deviate to Huogu, they will be fine if they are opponents of the same level of civilization.

After dealing with the scene, Hogu began to prepare for the escape.

It didn't plan to escape through the passage of the vault, those isolation door obstacles were nothing, but it didn't want to fight those alien warriors, the more times it fought, the greater the risk of exposure, for the sake of the overall situation, Hogu couldn't take that risk.

Hogu found the power lines in the library, and the jelly-like clusters of cells changed shapes, elongating like a slime, becoming thin and long, until one end touched the walls of the library and the other touched the power lines, and this elongation stopped.

Looking at all this inexplicably, it couldn't understand what the Supreme Will wanted to do.

Just as it was about to ask, a change happened.

Black debris was spit out of the jelly-like body one after another, and as the clusters of cells touching the other end of the wall wriggled, the jelly without any fangs and claws actually entered the metal wall of the vault.

In a few moments, Hogu was on the metal wall, and he drilled the tunnel into a deep place.

"Oh! It's amazing! ”

"Will, how is this done, I want to learn!"

Si was very surprised to look at Huo Gu's ability, and unconsciously had the idea of wanting to learn.

Huo Gu did not shy away from it, but it was better to say that this attitude of thinking now was exactly what it expected, and naturally there was no reason to stop it.

"You can use it if you have a thorough knowledge of chemistry, but to be as skilled as I am, you still need to have considerable knowledge accumulation and gigabytes of practice experience to be like I am now."

"Huh? This is the power of 'chemistry'?! ”

After receiving Huo Gu's message, the original novelty of Si turned into consternation, just like someone pointing to a dog and saying that it was a lizard-like weirdness, beyond the scope of common sense, and the three views were refreshed.

Huo Gu's explanation not only did not solve Si's confusion, but brought a bigger question mark, so Si asked again.

"But 'chemistry' is not the kind of pouring various liquids into a test tube to make new compounds, or extracting gaseous substances with an alcohol lamp......"

“…… Do you have any misconceptions about 'chemistry'? ”

Hogu, who had listened patiently, felt a little speechless, but now was not the time to explain, because the alien warriors were so close to their room that there was almost a isolation door left, and they had to leave quickly.
