After listening to Atlas's report, even Zhou Xin's face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"Is it true that you can't even find a clue?" Spred confirmed in a puzzled tone, "Could it be that even the only most likely way to get a clue is broken?" ”

"Now it seems that even if we find the rest of the self-destructing cylinder, I'm afraid the probability of finding a clue is not high." The little girl replied in a low voice.

"Identity, identity, what is the identity of the other party." This is the first time in the entire trip that the identity of the local civilization has not been confirmed for such a long time, and he has not even seen the real appearance of the other party, and the detector has been passively beaten until now, so Dart seems a little irritated.

"Calm down, it's impossible for the other party to hide like this all the time." Zhou Xin first reassured Dart, and then asked Atlas, "How's the situation in the city?" Are they still attacking our detectors? ”

"Hmm." Atlas nodded, and replied helplessly, "The attacks continued, and after discovering that we were powerless, they even scattered their formations to attack our probes wantonly. As he answered, the screen was cut to the ruins of the city.

"Why don't you take advantage of this confusion to find out the identity of the other party?" Before the little girl could finish speaking, Dart interrupted.

"People have already tried." The little girl replied gloomily, "But even in this case, they remain on high alert, so say—" She shook her head in frustration.

While Dart was asking, Zhou Xin's eyes were already focused on the screen. It just so happened that in the current picture, the ruins of a building more than ten meters high happened to slowly fall down in the opponent's attack, and soon a huge cloud of smoke and dust rose from the bottom of the sea, almost covering one-third of the entire picture. At the same time, Zhou Xin and the others also heard a violent muffled sound from the detector.

After switching the lenses of several detectors, Zhou Xin found that although the attacks on other places were not as exaggerated as those seen in the first shot, they were also quite intense. From time to time, probes were hit above the ruins, flashing with explosive fire, and some attacks that did not hit the probes directly hit the wreckage of buildings at the bottom of the sea, and the smoke and dust raised by the falling debris filled the bottom of the sea, refusing to disperse for a long time.

After seeing one of the detectors hiding in the ruins of a building in order to avoid the attack, but the other party still did not hesitate to destroy it, Dart said: "It seems that the other party has nothing to do with the natives of this city, otherwise how could they have no scruples when attacking." ”

Quietly looking at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin did not answer. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Atlas, after such a long period of observation, have you noticed the pattern of the opponent's attack?" ”

Shaking her head, the little girl replied: "Their attack pattern is that there is no pattern, anyway, when they attack, they are looking for the nearest target to them, and after destroying the current target, they will continue to look for the nearest target to attack." Other than that, they didn't realize that they had a clearer purpose. ”

"Is their purpose to destroy all of our probes?" Zhou Xin looked a little incomprehensible about the other party's actions, "If it was for this purpose, then why did they hide for so long after the first attack?" It didn't happen again until today. After looking at the screen and thinking for a long time, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhou's confidence, "Could it be that it is related to the city we are investigating?" However, the other party's unscrupulous destruction of the ruins of the city made him extremely suspicious of the correctness of this idea.

"Atlas, have you tried to get all the detectors out of the other side's detection range?" While Zhou Xin was thinking, Spred proposed his own idea.

"If that's the case, then the other party will be out of our surveillance." The little girl replied with some embarrassment, "Although I don't know what the overall situation of the other party is, at least they have a better grasp of the underwater environment than ours." ”

"What if it's a small detector? Doesn't it work either? Spred asked, unrelentingly.

"People have already tried." Atlas smiled bitterly, "But there is an energy field similar to an electromagnetic field that can block communication in a large area around those cylinders. As soon as a small detector enters the range of the energy field, it immediately loses function. Although the strength of the energy field is not high, and the effect on ordinary detectors is limited, but-" Without her to continue, Zhou Xin already knew what the result was.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Xin said with a disappointed tone: "Forget it, it's not a way to go on like this." We're just losing a lot of probes in vain, so let's get them out of range. ”

"Could it be that we have no choice but to let them go after suffering such a serious loss?" Zhou Xin's words made many people present show unwilling looks, and Dart couldn't help but speak.

"So be it." After Dart finished speaking, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then added, "Let the probe withdraw from the other party's detection range, but don't retreat in the same direction, but surround their location and see how the other party will react in this case." ”

This time, Zhou Xin's supplement has been recognized by everyone. So, according to his orders, Atlas began to gradually withdraw the probe from the other party's detection range. Of course, some detectors will inevitably be used as bait. But even so, the entire retreat process was basically smooth. When the last probe within the opponent's detection range is destroyed, their whereabouts are completely lost on the screen.

However, today's people are not relieved by this. Everyone's attention, including Zhou Xin, was still focused on the picture without any signal feedback. Sure enough, the screen was quiet for less than a minute, and the other party appeared in the detection range of the detector in a certain direction.

Not only in one direction, but it didn't take long for detectors in other directions to find their tracks......
