Chapter 116: Believe
"Commander, 'A new flood has been extinguished!' The effect of 'popping sound' is remarkable! ”
Hearing this report, the commander of the Third Fleet and all the operators in the headquarters breathed a sigh of relief.
The new flood of the Hogu Organisation had scared them enough, and the rhizomes were expanding much faster than the Gatherer Flood, even though Hogu had deliberately slowed down in order to increase the fear of the invaders and plunge them further into despair.
Brand new monsters, super high speed and self-healing ability, a larger number than the original, almost everyone in the headquarters has a stone hanging in their hearts.
Thankfully, the effect of the 'pop' was still significant, and they survived.
The commander was the first to regain his composure, and then he asked about something.
"Is there a call back from the home planet?"
"No, the receiver at the top of the metal mountain can't pick up anything, and the interference in the channel has been serious since that meteorite shower."
Hearing the commander of the 'Meteorite' Third Fleet again, he almost didn't burst into a rage on the spot, but he still suppressed this emotion and replied.
"Keep calling without stopping, keep trying to call signals from various channels, and be sure to get in touch with the home planet as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The conversation between them ended, and they each returned to their posts.
They all thought that it was the 'Boom' that saved them, and although in a sense, it was true that it could be understood in this way, but it was not the effect of the 'Boom' that saved them, but the 'Boom' that made Hogu realize the seriousness of a certain problem, so that Hogu had to temporarily choose to stop his revenge.
On the inner slope of the dome, a fist-sized metal flap is opened, exposing one eye to the air, and from this angle, you can see the entire layout of the colonial city.
Deep in the soil layer of the round platform grows a rhizome, which grows horizontally, and the roots become thick and strong into new rhizomes.
Soon, this pattern of sprawl occupies a certain stratigraphic area.
After entering this stage, while the horizontal continues to expand, the vertical also begins to expand.
The rhizome that grows upwards will choose some deep objects to go into it.
For example, fruit trees with purple leaves go deep into the stump from the bottom and grow higher, and then make a quarter of a centimeter hole in the tree, and inside the hole is an eye of the same size.
Or a building, like a tree, grows from the bottom up, and then a small hole is made in the top of the building and an eye is placed.
Or streetlights, chairs, sculptures, or even dirty drains.
Every corner was put into the eyeliner by Hogu.
At this time, the entire group of gatherers and Hogu are sharing this all-encompassing view of God.
As long as Huogu is willing, with an order, in an instant, this colony will become history, and all the inhabitants in it will become dead souls.
Looking at the busy streets, Huo Gu asked faintly.
"Do you know what I'm doing right now?"
Hogu's inquiry is not just about a single gatherer, but about the entire group.
"You're spying on those intruders."
The crowd quickly gave an answer, and Hogu continued to ask questions while being satisfied.
"So what do they look like to you?"
"Intruder."
Again, the group gave an answer, but this time it didn't satisfy Hogu.
“…… Wrong. ”
"Enemy."
After a moment of silence, the group of gatherers changed another answer that they thought was correct, but Hogu still gave a negative answer.
"What's that?"
The gatherers, including Perpetual, were stumped by Huogu's sale, and they couldn't understand why neither of these answers could be approved by Huogu.
Hogu gave an explanation.
"It's nutrients."
"But when I say 'nutrients', I don't mean that you actually eat their flesh, this is another meaning, you need to understand it from a different angle."
Huogu's words made the gatherers inexplicable, and they understood it from another angle? How to understand? Is it possible to pose a golden rooster independent when eating?
Even Perpetual, the highest IQ among the gatherers, couldn't understand Hogu's words, so it asked.
"Then you mean ......"
"What? Perpetual, don't you even understand my thoughts? ”
Hogu had thought that the Eternal would understand his intentions, because with the responsibilities that the Eternal Continued possessed, it should be easier to understand than the other kindred, but it still seemed to overestimate the intelligence of the gatherer.
Now Hogu can't wait to upgrade each of their brains.
"Perpetually, I'm just now noticing how much knowledge you lack."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"I don't blame you, the boundaries of knowledge limit your gaze and make you can't see anything farther, but after learning enough knowledge, don't make such mistakes again, because once such a mistake is made, there will hardly be a chance for you to start again, understand?"
"Understood."
Huo Gu pondered for a moment and replied.
"Forget it, since none of you can understand, then I will give you a straightforward task - to learn the language of those invaders, understand their behavior and culture."
"It's through the omni-view monitoring network that I've built now."
The Everlastings, including the gatherers, were puzzled by Hogu's order, and when they wanted to ask, Hogu replied first.
"Don't ask me why I'm doing this, you won't understand it, you're too stupid to see anything too long-term."
"So learn from those invaders, and we'll be smarter?"
A collector asked curiously.
Huo Gu thought for a moment and replied.
"You can understand it this way, but it's not all learning, they also have a garbage place, and learning to absorb that kind of place will not only not make you smarter, but will become stupid, you must pay attention to this, and know how to identify yourself."
Perpetual suddenly asked again.
"So what's good and what's bad? What exactly should be the definition? ”
"There is never any specific good or bad, there are two sides to everything, it's all up to you to judge, I won't interfere, at most I just give you a little advice."
"Don't feel lost because of my request, this is also one of the abilities you lack 'subjective judgment', permanence, you have to master it, and if you master it, you will be stronger than you were before you mastered it."
Hogu paused, and replied to all the gatherers in a solemn and serious tone.
"At the beginning, I said that I would be responsible for you, then I will definitely follow through, don't let me down, I believe in your ability."
