Returning from the abyss

Chapter 538
Lu Ning held the news of Tianmuyi in her hands for the time being and did not say it out. She didn't know if other outposts saw the signal, but she knew that even if the advance team was destroyed, the alliance would not stop and go back.

Tai, Observer, Ranger, no matter which one is enough to attract the attention of the alliance, today is different from the past, the development of the Canglong Alliance has to reach out beyond the nebula, and the phantom star is just one of many detection projects. Until a truly advanced civilization emerges, the Alliance will still maintain this pioneering pace.

"Captain, do you think it's necessary for us to contact the No. 1 outpost?" Longmai asked in a low voice, "According to that information, they obviously don't want to contact people and hope that we will leave directly. If people continue to investigate, let alone if they reveal their location, someone will definitely try to contact them."

"First of all, it seems that no one has targeted Tianmu Yi at present. As a precaution against the warning contained in this message, we cannot publicize it widely. Second, we are still unable to judge the real purpose of sending this message. From the previous Judging from the clues collected, internal discord has emerged in the team management of Pang Xu and Zheng Heng, and it is still unknown whether they have betrayed. Finally, in terms of combat effectiveness, if there is a battle, I can't say that we will definitely fight. Stronger than Outpost No. 1, the message from Gu Mingchuang found in the Ranger building proves that they have also been in contact with these alien technologies, and as long as they understand some of them in the development time of more than 15 years, their strength is above ours .”

"Sure enough, there are a lot of things to consider..." Longmai sighed, "Forget it, I'm just a technical person, so you should judge the situation, captain."

"Hey! Don't be dejected! We seem to have guests!" Spade's tone rose a little. At this time, the spaceship was already approaching the sky above his outpost, and judging from the light signal in the distance, there was a landing craft on the way. moored nearby.

This distance is already enough to carry out intra-team communication through the spacecraft's antenna, so Lu Ning directly connected to Qiu Shu.

"We've returned."

"It's really fast, Captain." Qiu Shu smiled slightly, "I just want to report to you that the team that came to us before came here again and lost one person. I let them temporarily live in the dormitory on the third floor area, according to the captain, they crossed the equator line this time, and they obtained a lot of important information."

"What information?"

"The captain must see you first before he is willing to exchange information. I think you will return soon, so it's not too much trouble. It's just for them to take a rest. Judging from their attire, they have at least experienced a fierce battle."

"I see."

At night, Lu Ning stopped disturbing the rest of Mo Lianren and his party. After landing the spaceship, he sent everyone back to the outpost. After checking the condition of the environmental modification weapons, he returned to the room.

The scheduled report has been sent out, and it is still in the business-like format.In addition, there were also some communication applications accumulated in the communication. She clicked on them one by one, but many of them did not respond until a communication from AL-007 was quickly connected.

"AL-007! Good morning!"

The voice was not concealed, and this voice also made Lu Ning feel a little familiar. She still kept the electronic voice and replied: "DU-003. What's the matter with the communication?"

"Your number is very high! Then I shouldn't be rejected." AL-007's tone was very excited, "We found some personnel notes from the historical records here, and then found a person named Beast God Valley from it." This is the nickname given by the members of the advance team. It is said that there are a large number of B-level phantom beasts infesting it!"

"Typical danger zone."

"But danger and opportunity coexist! Class B Eudemons, if we can study and understand, how many valuable things can they bring to us? Bionics, right? That place is a volcanic area with rift valleys criss-crossing. The conditions are extremely bad, I have asked several teams and they are not willing to go there!"

At this time, Lu Ning finally recalled who this slightly excited voice belonged to. Just thinking of this name, she felt a smell of gunpowder in her nostrils.

"I need a specific risk rating. A large number of B-level phantom beasts are not something we can deal with. The best way to deal with them is orbital bombing, not to mention that the volcanic area is more dangerous."

"Don't worry! The plan is three days later! Everyone has plenty of time to prepare! So you agree?"

Lu Ning really wanted to see what Luo Xiao was up to, so she said: "If there is specific information, I can agree to this operation. If the B-level phantom beasts are not cleared, it will become a disaster. We must take precautions." Yu Ran."

"Hahaha! That's right! And we contacted several teams after all. But each prepares their own equipment. Don't face the lack of firepower of B-rank Eudemons."

"I am certain."

"Great! Goodbye!"

After the communication ended, Lu Ning shook her head, suddenly she didn't want to connect to other communication.Luo Xiao's movements were also fast, and soon sent a document to Lu Ning.

The location is on another continent in the southern hemisphere. That continent was actually formed by the collision of two continent fragments, so it is covered with volcanic belts, and its area is not very large.Because its location is close to the polar region, the advance team simply established multiple outposts in the polar region to observe the volcanic continent through means such as low-altitude satellites and drones.

Lu Ning searched with keywords and saw the records about this Beast God Valley from her own records.

Outpost No. 48 participated in two operations in total. The first time was on the outskirts of Beast God Valley. It encountered a volcanic eruption. The mission was forcibly terminated just two days after it started, and it basically returned without success.The second time they entered the Beast God Valley, where the robot detection team suffered heavy losses, and the final description was [There are group B-class Eudemons at this location, unable to fight against them, retreat. 】

Lu Ning thought for a while, assigned several production lines, and then went back to rest.

The next day, she met Mo Lianren in a small conference room.Surprisingly, she wasn't wearing a helmet.

"Why did you take off your helmet?"

"It's broken." Mo Lian shrugged, "There is no way to replace it, so I don't have to worry about the threat of those messy phantom star viruses. At least my current conditions are normal."

Lu Ning sighed softly and told Mo Lianren to sit down.

"You have fought hard."

"Fierce battle." Mo Lianren corrected, "Don't look down on my team, at least we wounded several B-level phantom beasts, if there was not an unknown existence interfering with us in the end, we could even retreat unscathed."

"That's because I used the wrong word." It wasn't the first day that Lu Ning knew that Mo Lianren's temper was not very good. She vividly remembered the scene when she heard that the points were deducted and had to hit someone.

"Sorry. Anyway... I think I have to notify someone. But BW-001, our leader I don't trust, she posted a message that if there is any loss in our team, just go to her outpost Supplies, to put it bluntly, in fact, have basically been included.”

"Aren't you a soldier?"

"That's why I don't like meaningless recruitment. And I later became a free mercenary, so I hate it even more." Mo Lian folded his arms, "In short, let's not talk about that, you are my only one in this scene I know and trust someone, so I flew back, I didn't expect you to go out too... what mission?"

"Alien base." Lu Ning said succinctly.

"There really is everything on this planet." Mo Lian nodded, "The last thing we found was some kind of alien building, which was nailed to the ground like a steel rod."

"Is it a rock structure or a metal structure?"

"Metal structure." Mo Lianren said, "The overall structure of that thing is very much like an underground root, centered on the main axis, and extending outward. The entire interior of the building is occupied by Eudemons, and the environment has become suitable for those The living conditions of the phantom beasts, I simply doubt that the phantom beasts on this planet are released from there."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because we discovered this thing when we broke through the first floor." Mo Lianren opened the terminal on his arm and adjusted a picture, "Look."

It was the architectural style of the rangers that Lu Ning was familiar with, but unlike the building she explored that was full of desire to express, it looked more like a factory.Several huge metal shells like hillocks are neatly arranged in the picture, and it is conceivable that there are similar things outside the picture.

"The height of these large metal covers is about eight to ten meters, and underneath is a huge circle with a diameter of about 20 meters. Near the entrance, we found a machine in operation with a large number of metal blocks on it. , at least a few hundred of them, turned out and put together by a mechanical device that doesn’t know what’s going on inside.” Mo Lian adjusted to the next picture, which was a cuboid with two horizontal grids at the top, and some cubes rose from the inside. Some rise up, some fall down again, the picture is in this intermediate state, it looks a bit uneven.

"It looks a lot like..."

"Random generator." Mo Lianren nodded, "We have observed for a long time, and found that this thing is making random arrangements, and every time an arrangement is completed, there will be a slight sound coming from a metal cover."

"Internal vibrations?"

"Yes, most of the first floor are D-level and E-level phantom beasts, but the number is too large for people to handle. This number is too strange no matter how you think about it. By the way, those 'roots' that extend from the trunk 'A part of the material is not the same as the metal body itself, but it looks like a nest dug by these phantom beasts themselves."

"What the hell is wrong with this place?" Lu Ning became more and more confused about what the rangers were doing back then.This factory is likely to be the place where the excellent genes they obtained are reassembled to create life, but isn't their goal to create gods?What's the use of making a bunch of waste products?And now it's out of control?

The most troubling thing is that the rangers did not leave any data, and Morian also said that he did not find any records about Eudemons in that building.

The exploration of the entire building actually only reached the third floor, where Mo Lianren's team was suddenly besieged by several B-level phantom beasts, but according to her, due to the internal terrain factors, these B-level The super Eudemons can't show their full strength. She led the team to rely on various obstacles and still fight these monsters back and forth. The strange energy directly penetrated the protective clothing, causing severe dizziness and nausea symptoms to everyone. Because of this reason, one member was lost and several people were injured, so they had to retreat.

"Let me just say that those Bs are obviously guarding something. Their attack is actually driving us away from a certain direction. If we don't get close to that direction, the attack will not be very violent. Once we get close, Those B-ranks are desperately trying to drive us away. As for the lower one, it may be a more powerful B-rank phantom beast, or even..."

Mo Lianren winked at Lu Ning.

Is it really possible for an A-level creature rated as "supernatural" to exist on this planet?

Both of them are very clear about the standards of the alliance. The bottom line standard for A-level organisms is that they can cause huge natural disasters at the planet level, and they can survive and move even in space. If the entire classification is refined, there are four major energy levels. , This is the evaluation of experts on this type of top creatures.But no matter which level it is, it doesn't change the powerful nature of these creatures - only the fleet has the ability to compete with them.

"We don't know the situation of the underground yet, so don't divide it into category A for now." Lu Ning coughed softly, "Since you found this place, you are not going to report it, but are you going to explore it later?"

"I'm not sure." Mo Lian shook his head, "I don't know what kind of opportunities or dangers this place will bring, and I don't even know how much it is related to our mission. It is because I am not sure that I I want to talk to someone."

"Then let me go back and discuss it with others. In fact, several team leaders are busy with things right now. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of this matter for a while. By the way, since you are not sure where it is, why don't you go to another place with me?" place to see?"

Lu Ning opened yesterday's file.

"Beast God Valley? I've heard of this place." Mo Lian nodded.

"Have you heard?"

"In order to complete the first mission, I also restarted an outpost on the way, but I copied all the data and didn't care about it. I just read those data during the flight to relieve boredom."

"Do you have any records over there?"

"A researcher has obtained some geological data there, and his research results are quite interesting. He believes that the Beast God Valley volcanic belt did not form naturally, although it is at the junction of the plates."

Lu Ning frowned.

"Perhaps it is more necessary for us to go."
