"Beast tide?" Yu Lian asked curiously.

It's not like I've never heard of this term before, but it's a little new here.

"Yes, Beast Tide! However, it's really not very scientific! Shashak said worriedly.

…… Yu Lian looked directly at the other party expressionlessly.

It's a pity that this senior hunter, the captain of the self-police team of the Red Maple Factory, has never been a soldier after all, and Yu Lian stared at him so much that he kept staring at him and laughed a little embarrassedly, and he didn't know how to explain it in detail.

Fortunately, Fei Fei, who conducted a preliminary survey of the border defense of the far shore star zone during the internship time, explained: "I remember that the beast herds in the eastern wilderness occasionally form a fairly large herd size and attack the Lumina tribe. This is the so-called beast tide, right? ”

Lumina is not a very typical terrestrial planet, with an ocean area of only about 40 percent of the Earth's surface, but the climate is not dry. This is due to the fact that there is a very large amount of groundwater underneath, or rather, an underground ocean.

Because of this, its surface vegetation is also quite dense. Half of its landscape is mountainous forests, and half of its landscape is extremely abundant grasslands.

In addition, the planet's oxygen content is much higher than that of Earth, or the home planet of the Alliance and the Empire, and the Luminians have emerged, which has led to the emergence of the Lumina, who are much larger. In the same way, the bodies of wild animals are naturally not small.

One of the predators on the surface of the planet Lumina is an animal called the Lumina moa, and there are at least twenty or thirty subspecies in biological concepts, but everyone mainly divides it into two types: mountain moa and plain moa. They aren't the toughest predators on the planet, but they're certainly the most famous, and that's because they're so fearful.

We all know that it is theoretically impossible for carnivores to be too large in swarms, but this is not the case on this planet Lumina.

According to preliminary estimates from the biological community, the largest moa flock on the planet has reached more than 200 at most. They will hunt larger herds of herbivores, and they will also fight other moa flocks for territory, and suddenly there is a bit of tribal warfare.

If it weren't for the fact that these big birds hadn't used tools or words, they would probably be considered intelligent creatures.

Occasionally, however, the flocks of birds were dominated by some underworld force, and they gathered into larger flocks to drive away the huge herbivores, like armies of wild beasts, to attack the nearby strongholds of the Luminians.

This is the beast tide in the records of the Lumina people.

"Yes, our ancestors thought it was a balancing." Old Man Bei Kai said in a long tone, and his tone was particularly like a tricky magic stick.

Yu Lian smiled in his heart, thinking to himself, would anyone dare to balance in front of me?

Seeing that his apprentice Babalu was looking at him with blaming eyes, the old man could only say helplessly: "It's all the old man's statement." ”

It is true that these carnivorous terrestrial birds are only at the top of the wild animals, but above them, there are intelligent beings, namely the Lumina people.

You know, the moa meat is really nutritious and delicious, and it is naturally one of the most important hunting objects of the Lumina people. As a result, the moa flock will gather and become avengers under the guidance of some unscientific will. This is the so-called balance, right?

"However, our Maple City is on the edge of the Great Plain of Caohai, and it is not the habitat of large flocks of birds. Let alone...... In the past ten years, there have been several beast tides in the sea of grass, but they are all as far away from our range as possible. But this time, they're really coming in our direction. Shashak added.

Yu Lian touched his chin, he didn't have a lollipop and wanted to touch the old knife, but after being glanced at by Fei Fei, he could only give up.

"Is the beast tide you are talking about, on a large scale?" Yu Lian asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not, it's a big scale! There were at least a thousand moa flocks alone, and I even saw the Great Rock Tiger! ”

Compared with the moa that relies on birds to bully talents and occupy the upper echelons of the food chain, the big rock tiger is a typical lone ranger. It resembles a large saber-toothed tiger. The skin is thick but not particularly thick, so it is not weak, and its fangs are unusually sharp, and it is so hard that it can hardly be said to be calcareous, but it can literally open gold cracks.

Since its teeth are in this style, it is not clear what is the strength of its bones and what is the strength of its body, right?

This is an animal that has reached the phantom beast species, and its combat power is definitely not below the gravel dragon encountered in the new jade gate.

Even if it is a flock of moa that can hunt "the art of war", if it is a flock of small and medium-sized birds with less than 100 birds, it can only retreat when it encounters a large rock tiger.

Yu Lian frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of some very unfriendly experiences.

"Are you sure it's just a beast tide and nothing else? For example, have you ever seen any weird ...... Well, a creature somewhere between a beast and an insect? ”

Yu Lian said in a calm and calm tone. In order not to make everyone nervous, he had tried his best to hide his emotions, but Fei Fei still glanced at him quietly.

Xia Xia Ke thought about it seriously for a while, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Are you sure you haven't?"

"Not really." Mr. Hunter said solemnly: "I am too familiar with the great plains of the grassland in the east, and after discovering the beast tide, I have also observed for several days, and I have indeed not seen the alien animals you mentioned. The scale of this beast tide is indeed huge, but it is really only a native animal of the sea of grass. ”

After all, Mr. Shashak is a senior hunter, and Yu Lian still trusts his words, so he is a little relieved.

He then thought of another possibility, but it was only a guess, and other proofs were needed. Until then, it is not to be taken lightly.

"Let the self-police team in the city gather, and let the young adults start to assemble as well." Yu Lian began to order.

"I've already ordered it to go down, and we can assemble in ten minutes at most. All you have to do is give the order. Babaru said.

His expression seemed a little solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

That's all that is good in industrial societies. The workers are naturally organized and disciplined, and in this respect they are much better than the old mercenaries who claim to be "battle-hardened".

"Are there any weapons in the warehouse?" Yu Lian asked again.

"There are two more rifles, three phase wave guns, and ten powered bones and ten armored vehicles." Shashak Road.

This armament is similar to the No. 14 military station in Xinyumen, but this Fengcheng is also a city with a population of more than 200,000!

"I wouldn't have even had that kind of armament. However, when the arsenal was removed, the things in the warehouse were not moved, so we stayed, and the maintenance was still good. ”

No matter how well it is maintained, it is more than ten years ago!

What about the city's automated defenses? Yu Liangang wanted to ask, but then gave up. The city is now barely able to maintain the power supply of the factories, not even the heating and air conditioning of the residential areas, let alone the automatic sentinel guns.

He had heard it from Babaru. In the past ten years, the biggest danger encountered by Fengchang is except for a small number of sand bandits, that is, the wave of pirates who were wiped out by the vast sea of the people's war last time. The workers must have shut down the city's automated defenses, and may even have dismantled the sentry guns and used them as production parts.

"I'll go and inform the General Headquarters and ask them to quickly send reinforcements." Fei Fei Dao.

The General Headquarters will definitely send reinforcements, but the number should not be too many. They will most likely only send one or two transport boats and a small team of soldiers, and pick themselves and Fei Fei away to complete the mission.

Anyway, the Red Maple Factory and Maple City are already forgotten places outside the law. The garrison, which was mainly composed of residents of New Seville, and the marines attached to the center, were not obligated to them.

In comparison, it might be more useful to ask Lilia for help.

In short, you can't rely on the city to defend. There are still a considerable number of elderly people and children here, and the production line that everyone has built with great difficulty is still running, if there are really a few moa birds or wild yaks and the like rushing into the city and the factory, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Using our authority to apply for monitoring equipment for the Sky Space Station, I need to keep abreast of the movements of the beast tide." Yu Liandao.

Fei Fei nodded and started to operate.

Monitoring from outer space can of course monitor the direction of the tide, its numbers, and even the hair of a particular beast. However, as Old Bei Kai and Shashak have said just now, the appearance of the beast tide this time is very unscientific.

In this universe, since it is not scientific, it is very occult nine times out of ten.

When it comes to this, it is not very scientific outer space probes that can be discovered.

"There should still be a working transport boat in the city, right?" Yu Lian asked.

"There are two Seagull low-altitude shuttles." Buska replied. Usually these things are maintained by him and his friends, and this clever mechanic quickly guessed what Yu Lian meant, and hurriedly said: "However, it is not military, and there is no armor and firepower. ”

"It's enough to fly!"

Yu Lian stood up as he spoke, looked at Fei Fei again, and was thinking about how to organize the language, but the latter said: "Don't worry, I won't go with you, just stay in the city and stabilize the rear for you!" ”

She said to Babalu again: "You can't defend directly on the city!" Defensive positions must be set up outside the city! How many people do you have, what engineering equipment do you have, please give me a list as soon as possible. ”

It's really my luck to meet such a girl who is not pretentious and makes decisions on the spot!

"I've got it ready-made." Stoke said.

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, the graduate student hurriedly added, "...... This, this, since the resumption of production, I have asked everyone to make a list of various substances and equipment every day, and it must be updated every day. ”

It's even luckier to have a group of worry-free teammates, right?

Yu Lian took a rifle from the warehouse, and was very relieved to find a dozen impact grenades the size of eggs in a sealed box in a corner, without wearing a power exoskeleton. He's already in the third ring, and this kind of "civilian equipment" doesn't add much to his abilities - of course, if you have a heraldic machine, it's another matter.

The Seagull low-altitude airship is a passenger and cargo transport boat, and the interior space is quite spacious.

The operability of this kind of airship is still good, it is simple and clear, and if you can drive a large truck, you will definitely be able to drive this airship.

The driver is one of Shashak's self-police team members, and he was indeed born as a driver of a truck. Shashak took a few well-armed elite team members and got on the airship together.

Yu Lian sat in the co-pilot's seat, closed his eyes and said nothing. Others thought that he was closing his eyes and recuperating and didn't dare to disturb, but in fact, he was making a spiritual connection with Shi AA in the test tube on his sleeve.

"So, you've lived on this planet for so long, do you have any advice for the current situation?"

"I'm a mollusk, and I don't know these mammals very well. Besides, we've been living in our own bases, so we're even less familiar with them. "Slug said

"......" Yu Lian didn't speak, but the emotions that came out were already showing his attitude.

“…… Well, Count Sarwin has also tried to find a new host for us before. Moa, caratomy and, of course, the Great Rock Tiger. Because these animals are strong enough to have a certain degree of intelligence, they still have a certain capacity in their brains. ”

There is no need for Shi AA to continue, Yu Lian knows that the experiment has failed. If it succeeds, there may have been a saber-toothed tiger in this universe a hundred years ago who was an independent walker and a keen student of biotechnology.

“…… If I had to say anything, Your Excellency, these large animals on the planet Lumina, especially the Great Rock Tiger, are actually very typical of their sensitive physique. ”

Yu Lian knew what the other party meant, but he was really embarrassed to say it.

"It can be regarded as a phantom beast, its physique is very sensitive to psionic energy, its brain also has a certain amount of intelligence, it is also fully evolved, and it is not sensitive to spiritual sensing, so it can also fully accept our consciousness sharing. Unfortunately, the brains of these animals are still limited and cannot accept too many complex instructions, so they cannot really serve as a stable host...... So, what kind of body can carry us to survive? Sure enough, there are still more and more well-researched! Your Excellency, if you can help me with such conditions, we will work for you. This is the promise of the scholars of the last era! ”

"Getting to the point! Don't talk about him left and right! ”

“…… Well, that's really all I know. ”

This guy shouldn't be lying, after all, one person and one worm talk through a link of consciousness. Those who can lie in this situation are all master-level occult masters who specialize in the soul realm.

Although the Seagull Airship is a very typical civilian object, its flight speed is still good, and it only takes two or three minutes to leave the range of the Red Maple Plains and cross the mountains. The scenery below changed from a crimson forest like the morning glow to an endless green field, which was out of Yu Lian's sight.

This is indeed quite a magnificent sight, which amazes the well-informed Yu Lian. He felt as if he had come to the sky above an endless ocean of weeds.

And that's exactly what happened. This place, which the Lumina people call "the grass sea field" and the "eastern steppe" among the workers of the red maple factory, has a total area larger than the three Mediterranean Seas combined, and it is also the most extensive field on this planet with grasslands and forests as the main body.

And, just look at the vigor of these pastures and the fairly dense rivers to show that the soil here is actually very fertile.

If you don't plant some fields, you don't deserve to be a Serisian. Yu Lian thought.

However, even if you want to farm here, it's a story for another time. Yu Lian soon felt the vigorous and violent breath of life appearing on the distant horizon, like a crazy tsunami.

It was only at this time that Shashak reminded loudly in hindsight: "Captain, it's over there!" That's the direction of the beast tide! ”
