A large area of ruins, hexagonal base, each side is at least a few hundred meters long, several times larger than the fortress where everyone is located, it can be seen that the open-air base originally had a simple outer wall, and there are many metal pedestals buried on the ground inside the outer wall, and some pedestals also have some nested tubes sticking out of them, and the top of the spherical shape is pointing straight to the sky.

In addition, there are some huge buildings, which feel very similar to the factory where Pavatiga made machinery, I don't know what is produced in the factory, but in the ruins outside, there are many metal puppet remains, maybe this is the true face of the factory.

Most of the puppets are humanoid, unlike the half-humanoid with the lower body of the existing base, which is a crawler, but a real humanoid puppet, with powerful upper limbs at the end, in addition to the human-like palm, there is a small flat exit from the wrist, if it is used for combat, there should be weapons sticking out of it during the battle, but for some reason, all weapons are now deactivated, and none of the puppet's weapons are extended.

In addition to the humanoid puppets, there are a very small number of puppet wreckage that are more strange, with no upper limbs, the body is like an octopus, four flexible legs support a big head, and there is a firing port on the head.

It's a pity that now these buildings have been scrapped, and the metal puppets have lost the energy to act, and the base is gray, and the broken buildings of different sizes are loosely distributed in this abandoned base, only between the buildings, and there are some spires with conical crystals inlaid with crystal-like crystals on the top, and they are still standing intact in the base, however, the crystal at the top of the tower has also become dim, and at a glance, you can see that it has long lost its effect.

"There aren't too many bugs, it stands to reason that this should be one of their strongholds, why are there so few troops?"

Shur suddenly felt that his intelligence had been slapped hard, because before he could say that the number of bugs was small, the soil on the ground around the base suddenly churned, and thousands of bugs came out of the ground, leaving only small caves on the ground. The insects had been buried in the ground for an unknown amount of time, but when they came out, they circled the burrow a few times, moved their stiff limbs, and then burrowed back into the burrow, and the ground returned to its original level.

"It's insidious. Xiu'er pouted, but to tell the truth, even if you count these thousands of insects, there are not many enemies in the ruins of the soul clan's base, maybe you can really consider breaking through from here, thinking of this, Xiu'er couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Wei, map, take us as the center, mark the location of the Soul Clan's base. ”

The accurate map appeared in front of the three of them, Shuer held up the energy distribution map drawn by Saf, and carefully compared the two, what a coincidence, the location is definitely here, where will the specific location be, it should be on the ground, but the ground is full of building wreckage, which does not meet the conditions for the detached point at all, after all, the condition for the detached point is an open area where there can be no obstacles within a few tens of meters around, and although the base of the soul clan has its own architectural laws, there is no such open area.

"Wei, you introduced that the Soul Clan has abandoned the physical form, so in what state do they exist, how do they manipulate these large metal golems, and where do they usually live? ”

"Those are not battle armor, those are the battle bodies of the Soul Clan. After the battle body is created, the soul people will merge with the body, and after the battle body is completely destroyed, the soul people will also die symbolically. ”

"Symbolic?"

"Their consciousness will dissipate, but the soul will not die, and the scattered soul will return @#¥@#之后 and can be reunited into a new soul clan after a while, so their death is not death in the real sense. ”

"But in general it's still dead. Xiuer nodded, and pointed to the battle golems that were at least two people tall, "In other words, these are actually the essence of the Soul Clan, so, with such a large size, where do they usually live? ”

"Underground, the Soul Clan likes to live underground the most, their base, the main part is underground, and the Soul Clan likes a spacious environment, so the underground part is often much larger than the ground part. ”

"Hell. The three of them sighed at the same time.

There is no need to look for it, the underground is more spacious than the ground, and there is a high probability that the detachment point will appear underground. The problem is,The three people who drilled out of the ground just now saw it.,No one knows how many bugs will be buried underground.,And I don't know if the underground base has also been breached.,In case the situation underground is the same as the ground.,Everyone worked hard to get into it.,It turned out that it was into the nest of the bugs.,That's the biggest joke of this era.。

"Wei, your reconnaissance tool is the kind of thing that allows us to see the image, can you see the creatures below the ground?" Shure thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "I want to see the distribution of insect swarms underground. ”

"Invisible creatures or intervening creatures cannot be detected by stealth detectors. ”

"Sure enough, I thought too much about it, so I had to find another way. ”

"Radar scanning can complete your commands, Commander. Wei's mechanical voice added, "It just takes two days to recharge, do you want to enter the recharged state?"

"What will be the impact?"

"Increased energy usage could take away energy usage from other task processes, resulting in a 40 percent reduction in resource harvesting efficiency and productivity, with no other impact. ”

"What does this mean?" Every time Wei said a word, Shul helped Saf and Moriah translate a sentence, but the content of the translation was not even half understood by himself, so he could only pick out those who knew a little bit about it, "What is the current production efficiency?"

"Zero, the material reserve has reached the upper limit, and there is no need to continue to replenish. ”

"Alright, let's start charging, start early, finish early. So, in two days, I can see the distribution of life in this area, right?"

"Yes, commander, not only here, the radar can scan any corner within a radius of a thousand kilometers, and after scanning, with the scanning point as the center, the situation within a radius of a kilometer can be reflected on the holographic projection. ”

"Wait, you wait. Shure frowned, and pointed to the third, unimaged display area, "Any location is fine, including this kind of invisible place?"

"Yes, commander, including here, radar imaging is not limited by the field of view, it works in ......"

"Stop, I don't understand what I said, and it doesn't make sense to understand. Something like this had happened countless times today, and Shull didn't want to repeat the nightmarish encounter again, so he quickly interrupted Wei's explanation, and Shull knew that he had to make a decision, whether to further examine the area that had been identified, or to scan the space that had always been unknown.

"Huh...... What are you struggling with? Both - scanning? What does that mean - in short, just check both places, and stay here for two more days at most. "Saph and Moriah really don't understand what Shul is struggling with, there are sixteen days, and it wouldn't be a big deal to stay for two more days.

"It's that simple. Shuer shook his head and said, "Do you think the queen behind the bugs knows about our existence?"

"I don't know. Saf whispered timidly, "We haven't shown up since the last battle, and it probably hasn't been born yet." Moreover, if she really knew, she would have sent a large army to attack us a long time ago, after all, we are also human in size, and we are hostile to them. ”

"What if she doesn't want to attack us, but is worried about the lack of troops, and wants to eliminate the biggest threat before turning back to us?" Shur sighed, "After all, in the eyes of the bugs, the threat of the big spider is much bigger than ours, and it's not a big deal to give us a little more time, but giving the big spider a little more time will give it a chance to recuperate and expand its population, so the threat to the swarm will be too great." ”

"So you're trying to get out of the way before the swarm destroys the mutant spider mother?"

"Well, otherwise, once the main force of the swarm turns back, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long. Xiuer smiled bitterly and said, "Wei, the insect swarm is attacking with all its might, how long can our fortress last?"

"After forty-eight minutes and thirty-six seconds, the walls will be breached, and in one hour, three minutes and seventeen seconds, the defenses will collapse in full, and the self-destruction device must be activated in order to consume the number and energy of the swarm. ”

"I seem to have heard a very ominous term, but I won't delve into it yet. Shul stretched out his hands at Moria and Saf, "Once attacked, we won't have any chance, and I'm afraid we won't be able to take any of the people we want to take out." Therefore, the safest way is to prepare in the shortest possible time, without attracting the attention of the insect swarm, and then successfully evacuate the otherworldly projection at one time before the mutant spider mother is defeated. Otherwise, try to get the eight of us back to Pavatiga intact. ”

"Then we have to choose one or the other, and the ...... is left," Moriah tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Why don't we go and see for ourselves?"

"Well, I thought so too. Xiuer nodded thoughtfully, "Wei, is there a ...... like you in the base of the Soul Clan?"

"Artificial intelligence? Yes, Laura, the artificial intelligence of the Soul Clan base. ”

"Is there a connection between the two of you?"

"No, Commander. "If there are human feelings, this artificial intelligence will definitely roll its eyes," artificial intelligence does not have the ability to actively act, and the soul clan and us humans are only allies, not the same race, and the artificial intelligence with the control authority of the base cannot take the initiative to contact other artificial intelligence, otherwise it is equivalent to opening the control authority of their base to the other party. ”

"What about communication? For example, I ask you to help me connect to the communication of the Soul Clan base, it stands to reason that with the level of our human beings, we should be able to communicate remotely. ”

"No, Commander, communications can only be established if someone on the other side answers, but the other side's base has long been abandoned, and no one will answer. ”

"Hell, what a nuisance, if I get attacked by bugs outside their gates, that ...... Laura: Will you open the door for me?"

"Yes, Commander, according to the underlying protocol, in the absence of a special order, the AI is to give the highest priority to the preservation of the lives of soldiers, including those of the Allied forces. ”

"Phew, there's finally good news, then...... Huh?" There was a cacophony outside, and it seemed that Mia and Duck were back with the loot.

"Standby, Sasa, Moria, go meet our hunter heroes, and see what surprises they have brought us. ”
