Chapter 53: Action
"What else did the probe find in that shelter other than the footage we just saw?" Zhou Xin asked.
"The probe did get quite a bit of footage in there." "Unfortunately, according to its reports, the security level is quite high throughout the shelter, and many of these important areas are so heavily guarded that there is no chance of penetration." As a result, although there are many images captured, there is not much valuable information in them. Not only that, but for the same reason, the footage captured by the detector was quite fragmentary, and it took some time for people to sort it out. β
Hearing this answer, many people present, including Zhou Xin, showed disappointed looks on their faces. As if she had guessed everyone's thoughts, the little girl then comforted: "But it's not like there's nothing to gain." Among all the records, a number of conversations were found, as well as some transcripts, which were of considerable help to the understanding of the language system of the civilization in the vault. After a pause, she added, "By the way, judging by the words they used, it may be very likely that those people are the descendants of a terrestrial civilization that we thought was extinct." β
"In other words, in that land civilization, did anyone really survive?" Zhou Xin muttered to himself suspiciously, "But why do they still choose to continue to hide in the deep sea after the disaster is over?" β
"Maybe they don't know that the planetary catastrophe is over." Spred made his own guess.
"Impossible." Zhou Xin shook his head, "They have all been able to float to the shallow sea to attack us, how can they not know what the situation on the surface of the planet is." β
"Then I don't know, maybe there are other reasons why they are hiding in the deep sea besides avoiding the disaster." Spred replied thoughtfully.
"By the way, since those people are descendants of terrestrial civilizations, doesn't that mean that they are very likely to know what kind of disasters have happened on this planet?" At this time, Dart interjected, "Then what are we going to waste so much effort to continue to investigate on the planet." β
"What good do they know." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "Will you tell us?" β
"Moreover, those people are only 'very likely' descendants of terrestrial civilizations, not necessarily descendants." Spred corrected.
"Okay, okay." Dart waved his hand and decisively skipped the topic, "Don't talk about this, what are we going to do next?" β
"It's better to find a way to connect with those people." Zhou Xin's brows furrowed.
"But didn't they just ignore our unsolicited contact before? Is it useful to continue to contact now? Spred asked.
"Alasβ" Zhou Xin let out a long sigh of distress......
At the same time, in the undersea shelter that the probe dived intoβ
"Captain, are we going to go again?" A very short man with a very strong physique asked the tall man who was walking in front of him.
"Well, hurry up, act fast." The man known as the captain led the entire team of five to trot towards the submersible that belonged to them, urging him, and then he complained, "Really, it's been so long, why hasn't all that thing gone yet?" What exactly do they want to do? β
"By the way, is it really okay for us to continue attacking like this?" The only woman in the group asked a little nervously, "Wouldn't it cause their revenge?" β
"They've all taken us completely, and there's nothing they can do about it, so how can they retaliate against us." The man at the end of the line comforted with a smug tone, "Looks like they're not as powerful as they are in the literature." Or is it that the developments that have been in our dormancy have made us far superior to them? β
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." "I'm afraid they're just reacting to paralyze us, to find this place and kill us all," the woman said, worriedly. β
"You're thinking too much." The same smug voice just now continued, "They can't even keep up with us, those useless things still want to find here, I don't think they even thought we'd be here." β
"Butβ" However, the previous words of comfort did not ease the woman's worries, and she still wanted to say something worriedly. However, just as two words came out, her words were interrupted by the captain, "Okay, it's about to act, don't talk nonsense." Check your gear and see if there's anything missing. The notice has come down, and this time we are going to be working with the rest of the Ark. If something goes wrong, don't talk about me, even our commanders won't be able to protect you. β
"What? Captain, there's a big operation? As the captain spoke, the whole team began to check their bodies. After noticing that there was nothing wrong, they put on their helmets one after another, and before putting them on, the youngest person in the group asked with excitement.
"Hurry up and get in, don't ask what you shouldn't." The helmet-onned captain's voice was a little dull, but even so, the unkind tone was quite obvious. The young man shrunk his neck, then quickly put on his helmet and stepped into the submersible. And right next to this submersible, there are many people and many similar submersibles are also in full swing to prepare.
More than an hour later, aboard the Voyagerβ
"Your Excellency, the attackers who are cruising in the waters near the mining site have all left the detection range of the probe." The Voyager reported to Zhou Xin.
"Finally all gone." Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Like that before, I thought they were really going to launch some special operation there." However, it didn't take long for him to realize that he had been happy too soon......
"Brother Captain, a large number of attackers have been spotted near the mining site! Substantial! At the same time as the alarm sounded in the command module, Atlas anxiously reported to Zhou Xin.
"What? Aren't they gone? How did you come back again? The sudden alarm surprised Zhou Xin. After a short period of stunnedness, he quickly heard from Atlas's tone of voice that he had just reported, and this time the other party was afraid that the other party was not coming well. Without knowing the specific situation, Zhou Xin immediately ordered: "Atlas, order all nearby units to prepare for the response......"
