"How far is the scanner's range?"

"10 meters"

Su Tianzong looked left and right behind him, making sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then he glanced at the surveillance on the corner of the street and took a few more steps into the alley to avoid the surveillance range. He raised his left arm, aimed it at the spatial rift, and said, "Scan!" ”

Blue beams form a dense network of light that sweeps through the alley. Then I found something the size of a cat and dog in the corner and began to scan it carefully.

A few seconds later, Su Tianzong showed the results of the scan in front of his eyes, and "ZX" projected a worm the size of a basin. The bug resembles a cockroach, but the petal-shaped carapace on its back indicates that it is very different from a cockroach. There are also short limbs on both sides of the mouth, with three spike-like claw fingers.

"Warning: Discover the lowest level of the Zerg primitive form auxiliary worm, please call the combatants immediately to clear it"

"Zerg auxiliary worms? What do you mean? Explain"

"According to the public records released by the human republic, the Zerg are the most widely distributed race in the universe, extremely large in number, and there are many factions with different evolutionary directions within it. The Zerg have the ability to migrate interstellar and can conduct space operations and planetary landing battles. The Zerg are constantly evolving, and there are hundreds of thousands of Zerg species recorded in military records. It is also mentioned in the open war report that the Zerg will transform and capture humans, turning them into Zerg followers in half-worm form. ”

"The human republic refers to the people in the fleet?"

"Starship is the standard combat unit of the human republic, and it is an interstellar warship belonging to the military of the human republic"

"What is this auxiliary worm?"

"Auxiliary insects are the lowest-level resource gatherers of the Zerg, and they generally only appear near the Zerg nests. Auxiliary insects are mainly used for resource gathering and transportation, and have no attack ability. However, the auxiliary worm has the ability to detect and can burrow into the ground to provide intelligence to the Zerg. The auxiliary insect found now only has the most primitive form, which is quite different from the auxiliary insect commonly used by the Zerg. ”

The projection in front of Su Tianzong's eyes showed a larger auxiliary insect, and the auxiliary insect was marked with the character of the active Zerg auxiliary insect. This one is noticeably larger, and has multiple short limbs on its mouth. The biggest difference between the two types of auxiliary insects is the carapace on the back, the original carapace on the back of the auxiliary insect resembles a flower petal, and the virtual projection demonstration also shows that this carapace can be opened like a petal and turned into a flower-like container. The auxiliary insects in active service of the Zerg have a carapace on their backs that are more like a backpack, and the collected materials are stuffed into the backpack for transportation, and the carrying capacity is also larger and more. At the same time, active auxiliary insects can burrow into the ground and act as an eyeliner for reconnaissance.

"Auxiliary insects don't have attack power, do they?"

"Nope"

As long as there is no danger, Su Tianzong is not afraid of these bugs. The auxiliary worm nesting in the dark corner seemed to have spotted the approaching human and immediately rushed towards the spatial rift. But the spatial crack suddenly began to shrink at this time, and the auxiliary worm hit a shattered body, and the liver and brain were smeared on the ground. Su Tianzong looked at the brown juice and the stench in the air, and he felt a little sick to his stomach.

The spatial rift quickly shrank to a single point, and finally vanished. Except for the fragments and sap of the auxiliary worms in that place, which could prove that the spatial rift did occur, everything was calm again.

"ZX, why is there another spatial rift here?"

"According to the cosmic disaster records of the human republic, if a space rift occurs on any planet, it means that a series of space rifts will occur continuously on that planet, gradually increasing in scale and frequency. Until the planet is destroyed or the galaxy is irreversibly altered. ”

"Wait! You're saying that spatial rifts will still happen? And will destroy the entire planet? How is this possible?! Su Tianzong stood on the spot, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

"Among the planets where space cracks are known, 64% of the stars themselves are torn apart and disintegrated by space cracks, 15% of planets are destroyed by other planets that suddenly appear, 11% of planets are completely swallowed and disappeared by super-large space cracks, 6% of planets are completely shattered by dense space cracks, and the remaining 4% are super-large disasters caused by space cracks that destroy the entire galaxy."

"None survived?"

"Planets that are not intact in the record, and planets where space rifts occur, have a 0% survival rate for humans"

"There's nothing to do?"

"The official survival advice is: immediately stay away from any planet where space rifts occur, and hide in space shelters before you have time to escape, waiting for rescue."

"Waiting for rescue?"

"Space shelters need to physically determine the coordinates, that is, the material on the surface of the planet to demarcate the opening position of the space door. Opening the space door in space will cause immediate loss of pressure, large temperature changes, and excessive radiation, and the survival rate in the space shelter will be reduced by 75%. Therefore, the starship needs to retrieve the coordinate anchor of the space shelter in order to open the space shelter. ”

"If this planet is really finished, everyone is dead, where will there be any rescue?!"

Su Tianzong came to the street with a heavy heart, looking at the crowd coming and going, and looking at this prosperous city. At this moment, perhaps only he knows that the end is coming, and the spatial cracks that can tear apart the planet have begun to appear. His sad discovery, the prosperity in front of him, may become his last beautiful memory in human society.

"ZX, how much time do I have left?"

"In the small number of reports documenting spatial rifts, from the occurrence of the first spatial rift event to the evacuation of the recorders, the shortest months and the longest decades are decades."

"That is, there is still some time. If there is no starship rescue, is there any way to escape? ”

"Build a starship, or hide forever in a space shelter until you run out of resources."

"Isn't the Space Vault guaranteed to keep me alive?"

"Space shelters themselves can exist forever, but there are a limited number of resources that can be stored inside. Humans cannot survive when resources are depleted. And most humans can't survive on their own and need to fit into the group. The larger the group, the faster the resource will be consumed. There has never been a record of a large number of humans surviving in a space shelter, and they are unwilling to actively survive if they are not rescued

In the end, they all choose to self-destruct after exhausting their resources. ”

"So there's only one way left to build a starship? But I couldn't have built a starship! ”

"Space shelters are designed to be the last means of survival for humanity, with the components needed for a complete industrial system and the supporting starting resources and technology. As long as there are enough manpower and material resources, even if all the humans in the outside world are wiped out, human society can be rebuilt with the help of space shelters. ”

"The premise is not to hide in the space shelter until the resources are exhausted, right?"

"Correct"

"Well, let's live on this path, it's my only choice."
