The metal walls of the Alien Vault are covered with earth, mainly due to the sheer mass of the Colony Ship itself, with a portion of the bottom layer sinking beneath the ground.

In order not to be discovered by the aliens, the 'threads' covering the passages of the vault were broken down into cells at the command of Hogu, and these cells died under the action of the autophagy gene after leaving the collective, leaving behind a volume not much larger than a speck of dust.

Huo Gu led Si to escape from the small hole that led to the outside, and by the way, he repaired the hole at the level of a protometallic molecule, even if he magnified it a thousand times or ten thousand times with a microscope, he couldn't see the slightest crack.

Of course, not all of them are sealed in this way, after all, this method is both time-consuming and energy-consuming, just like letting Huo Gu build a skyscraper alone, from laying the foundation to completely completing it, obviously this is asking for trouble for himself, so this molecular-level repair is only repaired with a thickness of one centimeter, and the rest is filled by the residue that comes out of the reaction.

"How can it feel like a prison break?"

When Huo Gu came out of the alien shelter, he felt a strange feeling rise in his heart, as if the caged bird could finally leave the cage and spread its wings.

"Jailbreak? What is that? Is it OK to eat? ”

There was no disconnection, so Si received this message from Hogu.

"Don't worry about this, come along, I'll take you out of here."

At this moment, a rhizome appeared in front of them, supporting a tunnel in the ground that connected to the ground.

The cluster of clear cells controlled by Hogu was gradually transformed into a collector by obtaining the material in the surrounding soil.

After leaving the shelter full of monitors, the Hogu could be described as a dragon returning to the sea, not to mention the unimpeded path along the way, and the travel pattern was no longer as careful as before.

Although the colony is the territory of the aliens, here, Huogu's monitoring and anti-surveillance capabilities as a 'land snake' are stronger than those aliens, otherwise, it would not have the confidence to break into the shelter alone and rescue Si.

Soon, after reaching the bottom of the metal slope of the giant structure, the solid and thick metal skeleton slope automatically separated into a cavern, helping Si to leave the area enclosed by the giant structure.

"It's a tedious operation."

Feeling Si's life field signal return to the entire collective, Huo Gu was relieved.

The whole rescue process of Xiang Si is like an operation, and Huo Gu is the surgeon who is in charge of the operation, he didn't feel it before, but now that it's over, Huo Gu only feels one word - tired.

But now is not the time to relax his mind, Hogu still needs to hurry up and prepare for the attack on the incoming fleet.

[Huogu, I'm looking for you to discuss something. 】

It was a message from Twilight, and Hogu became alert - every time it asked for a message, it meant another troublesome thing, such as the previous design and manufacture of autotrophic and heterotrophic multicellular organisms.

Sure enough, Twilight's next paragraph of information confirms Hogu's suspicions.

[How did you do that before?] Teach me. 】

"What behavior?"

Huo Gu asked a little strangely, although there was no language barrier, Huo Gu still did not understand what the 'behavior' was referring to.

[That is, it is the perspective of 'small individuals', just now I saw the battle between you and those small individuals, and I feel super, super...... Super excited! Yes, excited! 】

“……”

After Twilight's repetition of the story, Hogu probably understood what Twilight was trying to convey - it was not an exaggeration to say that it wanted a doppelganger from the perspective of a 'small individual', or rather an incarnation.

It wanted to experience what it was like to be a 'little individual' that could be pinched to death.

[Why don't you speak?] 】

"Because I don't know how to answer, you're going to ask me to help you do the whole anyway, right?"

[Hehe, you really understand me, sure enough, Huo Gu, you are the smartest special body. 】

"Even if you flatter me so much, I won't help you, just settle a little."

[Huh? Why ......]

"The reason is simple, I still don't understand why you exist."

[Can't understand? 】

"Originally, your existence, as well as your abilities, were 'unreasonable', but they do exist, so I can only understand them as phenomena beyond the scope of my knowledge."

"I don't understand, so how can I talk about using these phenomena and modifying them?"

Yes, the 'Gaia Theory' exists on Earth, why didn't Hogu think about it in the first place? It's because Hogu is a solid opponent of that theory.

Although he did not completely step into the field of biology, even Hogu, who had half a foot in this field, knew very well that such a thing as 'Gaia' was a concept that talked about 'magic' with materialists.

The planet itself is a chaotic system, and on a celestial scale, what can be used as a carrier of information to maintain stability and completely connect the entire planet completely?

Even if they are connected, the limit of the speed of light still exists, and the result of an overly large information network is similar to the original 'thinking slowdown', in the blink of an eye for tens of millions of years, unless the planetary network is the structural form of a quantum computer.

'Intelligence' is born in a network of simple compounds, and I am afraid that it will not necessarily be born until the end of the universe.

Not only Twilight, but also Hogu himself, who couldn't figure out why the global network it had built had not been affected.

Although it can all be attributed to the fact that this is the characteristic of the life field, what is the true face of the life field, Huo Gu still wants to know, after all, things that are not clear will always make people uneasy.

[Eh...... It turns out that Huogu also has a limit, and I've always been worried about it. 】

“…… What's going on with your relieved tone? ”

As Hogu complained, the alien fleet was getting closer and closer to their colony star, and at this time, their ship's radar could already accurately capture the wreckage left by the original space war.

"Commander, the colony is thinking of us to send a cry for help, they say that the 'flood tide' of the monster organization is more ferocious than before, and it is almost impossible to hold it by relying solely on the 'explosion'."

"Reply to them, hold on for a while, and we will take ultra-long-range attacks to provide them with aerial firepower."

With this command, the commander immediately gave another order.

"Launch an outpost probe to investigate the wreckage of the space station."

"Yes!"

Another ultra-small object was launched from the massive battleship, much smaller than the previous autonomous ship, and the whole body was swarthy.

The object approaches the wreckage of the space station at high speed, uses a strong magnetic field to cushion the launch, and then enters the wreckage through the gap.
