I handed over to another world

As soon as Li Jin finished speaking, the landing ship's engine made a low roar, and the ship slowly rose into the air and headed back towards the direction of the fleet.

After taking off their exoskeleton armor, the team members in the cabin gathered around the control console. The densely packed red dots on the screen made everyone feel a chill in their hearts - although these gadgets could not affect them at the moment, their biological instincts still made them frown.

“Where the hell do these bugs come from?”

One of the team members frowned and swiped his finger across the screen, magnifying the image of one area.

The alien creatures in the picture are pouring out from the cracks in the ruins, as if they are endless. Could it be that these things are underneath the dozen or so buildings that look like civilized buildings on this planet?

Everyone was filled with confusion at this moment.

"It seems that these ruins are really some kind of hatchery as the captain said."

Another team member whispered, "Have you noticed those golden lines? They seem to be absorbing the remains of the aliens we killed and then regenerating new individuals."

"So outrageous!?"

Li Jin nodded, his eyes solemn: "That's right, these creatures are not the product of natural evolution, but more like they were created by some kind of high-dimensional technology."

"Their structure and behavior patterns are beyond our understanding of known life. It's like they were copied from data..."

"Captain, do you think these bugs could be a 'defense mechanism' left behind by some advanced civilization?"

A young team member put forward his own guess, "Just like the ancient ruins we found on the Stuttgart continent before, these bugs may be used to protect these buildings."

Li Jin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out...but the problem is that there are too many of these bugs, and they reproduce very quickly."

"If these ruins are indeed some kind of hatchery, then what is their purpose? Are they to protect something, or are they to... wait for something?"

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became heavy. The team members looked at each other but no one could give an answer.

At this moment, Colonel Qin Zhao's voice came from the communicator: "Li Jin, report the situation."

Li Jin immediately stood up and walked to the communicator: "Report to the colonel, we have successfully evacuated!"

"The number of creatures in the ruins is far beyond our expectations. Based on our current findings, they seem to be able to reproduce rapidly in some way! And they are highly organized!"

"I would still recommend an immediate orbital bombardment of the area to prevent further spread of these creatures."

Qin Zhao's voice was calm and decisive: "The fleet held a meeting temporarily and finally decided to agree with your suggestion. The fleet is ready. The orbital bombardment will begin in 30 minutes. You must return to the mothership immediately and prepare for the next step."

"understand!"

Li Jin hung up the call and immediately turned to order the team members, "Everyone return immediately! We still have 30 minutes, take a good rest, the next mission may be more difficult."

The players nodded and quickly returned to their seats.

The landing ship's engine roared again and accelerated towards the fleet.

At the same time, on the fleet's main ship "Pangu", Colonel Qin Zhao was standing in front of the command desk, staring at the image of the planet on the holographic sand table.

His eyes were fixed on the alien creatures that kept pouring out, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Colonel, orbital bombardment is ready."

The adjutant walked up to him and reported in a low voice.

Qin Zhao nodded, his eyes still on the holographic sandbox: "Let's get started."

"Yes!"

The adjutant quickly gave orders, and the atmosphere in the bridge instantly became tense.

As the countdown progressed, the fleet's main guns slowly adjusted their angles and aimed at the ruins area on the planet's surface.

The humming sound of energy charging echoed in the bridge, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the countdown numbers on the screen.

"10, 9, 8..."

Just as the countdown was about to end, Qin Zhao's tactical eyepiece suddenly captured a hint of abnormal energy fluctuations.

He raised his head sharply, his eyes sharp: "Wait! Pause the orbital bombardment!"

The adjutant was stunned, but quickly executed the order: "Orbital bombardment suspended!"

"Captain, what happened?"

Qin Zhao did not answer, but quickly called up the detailed data of energy fluctuations. Soon his pupils shrank slightly, and there was a hint of shock in his voice: "These ruins are releasing some kind of signal!"

"Signal?"

the adjutant asked doubtfully.

Qin Zhao nodded and quickly moved his fingers on the holographic sand table: "Yes, these ruins are not simple buildings. They are sending some kind of high-dimensional signals to the depths of the universe! If we conduct orbital bombing now, it may cause unpredictable consequences."

The atmosphere in the bridge suddenly became tense. Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, then gave a decisive order: "Contact headquarters immediately!"

"We need more data and a higher level of authority to handle this situation... At the same time, we need to send a reconnaissance team. We need to send equipment or team members deep into the ruins to find out the source and purpose of these signals."

"Yes!"

The adjutant quickly went to execute the order, and Captain Qin Zhao's eyes were once again cast on the holographic sand table, with a vague feeling in his heart that they might have just uncovered a mystery that was far more complicated than they had imagined.

……

Chen Lin stood in the command center of the Red Dragon Association headquarters, and the holographic screen was transmitting images of the Pangu fleet in real time.

He stared intently at the flashing golden lines on the surface of the ruins and the constantly surging alien creatures. These scenes made him frown and worry.

"Colonel Qin Zhao requested instructions. He believes that orbital bombardment may cause high-dimensional signals to go out of control."

Secretary Zhao reported, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Authorize the fleet to make its own decisions."

Chen Lin's order was clear and crisp, without any hesitation, "Yanhuang, retrieve all the data of the Forerunner civilization we discovered before."

As the torrent of data scrolled across the screen, Chen Lin's pupils suddenly shrank - the frequency of the relic signal was completely consistent with the crystal fluctuations in the space station accident. This discovery made his heart tighten, and he realized that the situation might be more serious than he had imagined.

It's just that the situation is still unclear at the moment.

At the same time, inside the bridge of the Pangu, Qin Zhao stared at the holographic sand table with a stern expression.

After a while, when he learned that the news from the Red Dragon Association headquarters was to let them make their own decisions, he immediately ordered: "The reconnaissance team will set off immediately. I want to know the source of the signal!"

"Understood!" The reconnaissance team that had just returned to Pangu quickly went to the planet again after replenishing their intelligent mechanical equipment. Li Jin led the reconnaissance team, wearing exoskeleton armor, and this time they needed to break into the core of the ruins.

……

The team acted swiftly and cautiously, with almost no effort wasted during the entire process. Relying on the small-scale artillery cover provided by the fleet, the reconnaissance team quickly entered the interior of the ruins.

The interior of the ruins was filled with purple crystal clusters, and the sound of exoskeleton armor crushing the crystal clusters echoed in the empty passage.

The tactical eyepiece of the team member at the front suddenly sounded an alarm, and his voice came from the communicator - "The energy fluctuation is in the same frequency as the crystal signal!"

The team members' hearts tightened, and they all quickened their pace. When they passed through the passage covered with vascular-like golden patterns, a hundred-meter-high crystal device stood in it.

In the blue mist, the hieroglyphics on the console made Li Jin's breath stagnate: "What kind of civilized thing is this!?"

"AI analysis says it is the creation inscription of the Forerunner civilization..."

"how is this possible?"

The team members stared at the flowing text, all with shocked expressions, "How could a civilization from 300,000 years ago appear on the edge of Orion?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, the device suddenly resonated and the entire ruins began to shake violently.

As the captain, Li Jin's neural interface instantly flooded with a massive amount of data. When he looked up, he saw golden lines reconstructing time and space. He was immediately shocked: "Retreat! This device is opening a dimensional channel!"

Before he finished his words, the trembling ground suddenly cracked into a crack as big as an abyss, and countless alien creatures gushed out of it, just like a volcanic eruption!
Li Jin was quick-witted and quick-handed. The moment he pressed the antimatter grenade, his urgent order came through the communicator: "Evacuate immediately! Everyone, take off immediately!"

The intelligent mechanical equipment quickly scanned and collected all the samples of the Creation Inscription. At the same time, the captain of the reconnaissance team, Li Jin, led the team members in a fierce battle with the aliens that were gushing out from below.

The intelligent mechanical equipment performed exceptionally well in the battle. The aim of the firearms of these metal creatures was extremely accurate, and their efficiency in attacking aliens was much higher than that of the real members of the reconnaissance team. This bought the team members time to retreat.

Li Jin led his team to evacuate quickly. The antimatter grenade exploded behind him, and the blazing white light instantly engulfed the emerging alien creatures.

However, those aliens seemed endless, pouring out from the cracks continuously, and even began to reorganize at a faster speed.

"Captain, these guys' regeneration speed is at least three times faster than before!"

A team member shouted in the communication channel, and the high-energy particle cannon in his hand continued to fire, blasting the approaching alien creatures into pieces.

"Don't fight any longer, everyone take off!"

Li Jin's voice was calm and decisive. While commanding his team to retreat, he quickly called up the data stream in the tactical eyepiece, "Yanhuang, analyze the regeneration patterns of these aliens!"

"Analysis in progress... The regeneration speed of the alien creatures is positively correlated with the energy fluctuations of the ruins. It is recommended to cut off the energy source immediately."

Yan Huang's voice sounded in the communicator.

Li Jin's eyes swept across the holographic screen and quickly locked onto the energy node at the core of the ruins: "Everyone, aim at the energy node at the core of the ruins and concentrate your firepower to destroy it!"

The team members quickly adjusted their tactics, and the particle cannons on the shoulders of the exoskeleton armor were charged at the same time, with a faint blue light condensing at the muzzle.

Following Li Jin's order, several high-energy particle beams simultaneously shot towards the energy node in the core of the ruins.

"boom--!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the energy node at the core of the ruins was completely destroyed. The light of the golden lines dimmed instantly.

The regeneration rate of the alien creatures slowed down significantly, and some individuals even began to disintegrate on their own.

"Success!"

The team members cheered, but Li Jin's expression remained solemn.

"Don't relax, the energy fluctuations of the ruins are still continuing!"

He quickly pulled up the holographic map and discovered that the topological structure of the ruins was undergoing some strange changes. "Everyone, evacuate immediately! The ruins are folding!"

The team members did not dare to delay and quickly started the thrusters of the exoskeleton armor and flew towards the landing ship.

However, just as they were about to reach the landing ship, a dazzling golden beam of light suddenly burst out from the core area of ​​the ruins and shot straight into the sky.

"what is that!?"

one of the team members exclaimed.

Li Jin's tactical eyepiece quickly captured the energy fluctuations in the light column, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "This is... a dimensional channel! The ruins are opening a channel to a higher-dimensional space!"

Colonel Qin Zhao's urgent order came from the communicator: "Li Jin, evacuate immediately! The fleet activates the vacuum decay protocol and prepares to destroy the entire ruins!"

"understand!"

Li Jin responded quickly and led his team to accelerate towards the landing ship.

However, just as they were about to enter the landing ship, the golden light column in the core of the ruins suddenly spread, forming a huge Klein bottle structure - the space of the entire planet began to distort, as if being kneaded by some invisible force.

"Captain, the curvature of space is rising rapidly!"

There was a hint of panic in the voice of one of the team members.

Li Jin gritted his teeth and quickly ordered: "Everyone, activate the dimension construction device! We must leave here immediately!"

The team members quickly activated the built-in dimensional construction device of the exoskeleton armor, and as the portal suddenly opened in front of them, they rushed in directly.

At the same time, inside the Pangu's bridge, Colonel Qin Zhao stared at the distorted image of the planet on the holographic sand table, his face solemn: "The vacuum decay protocol is activated, the target is locked on the core of the ruins, and the countdown begins!"

"10, 9, 8..."

As the countdown continued, the fleet's main guns were fully charged, and a blazing white energy beam condensed at the muzzle.

"3, 2, 1... launch!"

A dazzling beam of light shot out from Pangu's main gun and hit the core of the ruins directly.

Violent energy fluctuations instantly swept across the entire planet, space began to collapse, and the dimensional channel was forcibly closed.

However, just when the planet was about to be completely destroyed, a golden light shot out from the core of the ruins, penetrated the vacuum decay energy field, and rushed straight into the sky.

"what is that!?"

The adjutant exclaimed, and Qin Zhao's tactical eyepiece quickly captured the information in the light. His pupils suddenly contracted: "This is... a signal from the Forerunner civilization?! They are sending us some kind of information!"

It's just that the whole process happened too quickly. As soon as the words were spoken, the light over there was directly reduced. The whole process did not even take more than five seconds, so that the fleet outside the planet did not capture more useful information.

Vacuum decay is localized, but extremely destructive. In just a moment, the entire planet's area covering the twelve pyramids was completely swallowed up. In just a dozen seconds, even two-thirds of such a large planet was destroyed!
Destroying a planet even takes a few minutes! (End of this chapter)
