Chapter 303 "Shallows" (4K)
After a moment's thought, Li Ye spoke again.

"Novi, does this spaceship have any records of long-distance space travel?"

“During its 72 years of service, this spacecraft was always used for short-range flights. In terms of distance traveled, it was a privately owned spacecraft,” Novie replied. “However, it does have a record of long-distance space travel, only once, and the distance was 17823 million kilometers.”

"17823 million kilometers?" Li Ye asked in surprise. "Isn't that the distance between a desert planet and the planet Serandis?"

Novi added one more point.

She monitored the damage to the spacecraft, which was caused by a meteorite.

The old professor clapped his hands, gesturing for everyone to look over.

"Now, we can draw a conclusion."

he mused.

"This family of four is aristocracy in a desert planet's civilization."

"They lived a life of luxury, owning their own spaceships and maintaining them regularly for many years. But one day, a sudden upheaval forced them to flee."

"Just as they were about to reach the planet Serandis, their spaceship was unfortunately hit by a meteorite, causing it to be damaged and crash into the ocean."

Everyone nodded slowly.

That's roughly the situation.

Li Ye frowned slightly.

Although he had a general idea of ​​what was going on, he still felt that something was not quite right.

Soon, he figured it out.

“Supernatural modification!” he said in a deep voice. “What exactly is the supernatural modification, or rather, the catastrophic situation, of that desert planet?”

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Everyone looked as if they had just woken up from a dream.

They were so focused on studying the spaceship in front of them that they overlooked this most important point.

"Could it be that this alien family of four was forced to flee because of the supernatural changes that occurred on the desert planet, with countless monsters appearing?" Zhou Xing asked.

“That’s possible,” Veronica said in a deep voice. “Look closely inside the spaceship. Apart from food and water, this family of four didn’t bring many supplies suitable for a long journey, which means their escape was very rushed.”

“Yes,” the old professor continued her line of thought. “If they had enough time to prepare, the spaceship should have plenty of supplies.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye gently shook his head.

Although there is a distance of 17823 million kilometers between the planet Serandis and the desert planet.

But at the speed of a spaceship, it would take at most a year to travel from the desert planet to Cyrandis.

It's important to know that supernatural modifications have been going on for hundreds of years.

The claim that an alien family of four was forced to flee due to a sudden, supernatural, and drastic change on their planet is actually untenable.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that what they said made sense.

“I think that rather than figuring out why this family of four fled, we should be more concerned with the extent of the supernatural modifications made to that desert planet,” Veronica said slowly.

This issue was thus shelved.

Li Ye sighed softly to himself.

The Tomorrow Alliance's exploration of the planet Serandis has only just begun; the matter of desert planets is far too distant.

Meanwhile, in a certain sea area on the planet Serandis.

A Level 1 mobile city, which had traveled a long way, slowly landed on the sea.

Judging from its logo, it belongs to the Unifying Cult, a world-class organization of the monster faction.

Although it is a Tier 1 city, it has a Tier 5 space travel configuration.

Like the humans, the monsters also began an extraterrestrial exploration program.

Both sides used the same approach.

Equip space-type mobile cities with level 6 planetary teleportation devices. Upon arrival at the target alien planet, establish teleportation anchor points on-site to transport more troops.

The lord of a level 1 city of the Unification Church, a ratman bishop, was already rubbing his hands together impatiently.

"Alright, alright, let's get started!"

The Level 6 teleportation anchor architecture was completed and began operation.

On the ocean, the once calm sea surface suddenly became eerie, and the clouds in the sky twisted without warning, as if torn into vortexes by some invisible force.

The sunlight refracted into a rainbow of colors in the distorted air, and the sea surface first sank down, forming a huge eddy with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

With a deafening sound of space collapsing, a colossal object was teleported in and crashed into the ocean.

Its size is like a giant mountain, and the impact of its landing alone triggered a tsunami, with a ring of giant waves spreading wildly in all directions.

Amidst the waves, the form of this colossal creature gradually became clear.

That was none other than Gidon, the Imperial Monster, which had been modified by the Unification Church.

The Unitarian Church used this modified Imperial Monster as a fortress and stronghold for exploring the ocean planet.

Moreover, the teleportation anchor continued to operate.

A level 4 mobile urban warfare cluster of the Unification Cult was then teleported over.

Whether it's the level 4 assault-type mobile city or those level 1 mobile cities, their styles are all incredibly bizarre.

They are not steel behemoths, but more like living monsters crawling out of the ocean depths.

The city's main body is supported by countless wriggling tentacles and a skeleton framework, its surface covered with asphalt-like black flesh that constantly secretes corrosive mucus.

The city's buildings resembled a proliferating tumor, with twisted spires reaching towards the sky like tentacles, each topped with a giant, single eye that constantly wriggled and surveyed the surroundings.

Just looking at it makes your sanity drop drastically.

The monster soldiers stationed on the mobile city are also bizarre and varied, like nightmares crawling out of the deep sea abyss.

The Level 4 assault mobile city then began deploying combat troops to the outside world.

A Class 4 living aircraft carrier hull.

A Level 4 live fighter squadron.

Moreover, this Level 4 mobile city opened one of its compartments and spewed out a large number of creatures into the ocean.

That was none other than the evolved giant fish captured by the Union Church in the ocean of Azure Star.

The giant fish leaped into the ocean one after another.

Without a doubt, they will begin to expand and multiply wildly on this alien planet.

Upon seeing this, the Ratman Bishop laughed heartily with satisfaction.

"No matter what this alien planet is like, let's pollute it first!"

A few hours later.

The Tomorrow Alliance discovered an extremely peculiar landscape in the ocean.

That is a "shallow beach".

When Cyrandis aligns with the two moons again, tidal forces come into play once more.

A massive tsunami erupted in the sea area where the Tomorrow Alliance was located. A grand exit ceremony began in this sea area.

At first, only a few scattered reefs peeked out, but as the tide continued to recede, a vast expanse of shallows gradually emerged.

It stretches for hundreds of kilometers, like the ocean temporarily shedding its armor.

The receding tide formed a peculiar dividing line at the edge of the shoal. The seawater here did not recede calmly, but rather maintained a certain unwilling posture, building a flowing, transparent wall of water around the shoal.

The wall of water swayed gently as the moon moved, sometimes reflecting the cool glow of the sunlight.

The surface of the shallows is covered with traces sculpted by the tides, and the seawater remaining in the winding gullies forms small streams, which rise up in the sunlight as a hazy mist.

On the mobile cities of Tomorrow Alliance, everyone stared in astonishment.

This scene is truly amazing!

Such a sight can only be seen on other planets.

The shallows after the tide receded were not desolate; countless level 5 sea monsters were trapped in this suddenly exposed territory.

The enormous anemone-shaped monster retracted its tentacles and buried its body in the damp sand.

Hordes of myriad-legged monsters frantically crawled among the rocks, searching for new shelter.

The shell-shaped monster tightly closed its shell, waiting for the seawater to return.

The current position of Tomorrow Alliance is neither good nor bad.

It is located behind the giant tsunami generated by tidal forces, so it will not be hit by the giant tsunami this time.

On the other hand, due to this sudden ebb tide, all of Tomorrow Alliance's mobile cities and aircraft carrier fleets have been effectively "stranded".

Li Ye immediately placed his troops on the highest alert level, ready to engage in combat at any time.

"Novi, calculate when the tide will come in again," he said.

“According to my calculations, the tide will rise at 23 minutes and 52 seconds,” Novi replied. “During this time, you can safely hunt level 5 sea monsters on the shallows.”

"Is the time really that short?"

As a precaution, as usual, Li Ye dispatched reconnaissance aircraft to investigate the situation on this shoal.

Although it is called a "shoal", it is actually very large, covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, with an average width of over 100 kilometers and a maximum depth of over 300 kilometers.

One of the reconnaissance planes spotted something incredible.

Beneath the surface of this Class 5 ocean lies a hidden underwater kingdom constructed of marine plants and algae.

It appears when the tide goes out.

The underwater kingdom is composed of a huge seaweed forest. These seaweeds are not the common seaweeds found on the blue planet, but giant species that can grow to tens or even hundreds of meters tall.

The roots of the kelp forest are intricately intertwined, forming a three-dimensional labyrinth.

Upon closer inspection, the roots are covered with countless bioluminescent microorganisms.

Moreover, there are countless houses and towers built from coral reefs.

As for the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom, they are tens of thousands of Omar people.

According to the pilot's report, the Omar people were able to link with kelp forests and coral structures through the nerve whips at the back of their heads.

Li Ye nodded slowly, a strange look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Tomorrow Alliance discovered the settlement of the Omar people without their knowledge.

Veronica and the others were extremely excited and planned to communicate with the Omar.

But the other party did not give that opportunity.

Upon noticing the arrival of the Tomorrow Alliance, the Omar immediately launched an attack.

They linked various marine creatures through neural whips, forming a massive army to launch a massive attack on the Tomorrow Alliance.

Suddenly, the stranded Tomorrow Alliance faced an army of sea monsters from all directions.

Some of these are hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters long.

Tomorrow Alliance immediately unleashed its full firepower.

The air force swooped down recklessly, dropping all kinds of bombs.

All missiles of the aircraft carrier fleet were launched.

The Starship and the Peacekeeper also launched a frenzied bombardment.

The shallows were instantly engulfed in flames, with countless sea monsters writhing wildly in the inferno. Their skin rapidly carbonized under the intense heat, bursting out foul-smelling bodily fluids. The remaining saltwater on the shallows boiled in the heat, and the steam mixed with the burning fat to form a billowing yellow toxic mist.

However, Tomorrow's Alliance is ultimately only a level 4 configuration, and can only suppress the enemy's momentum with crazy bombardment, making it difficult to cause large-scale effective damage.

Li Ye immediately came up with a plan.

“We have to go, Fang Yong!” he said, picking up the walkie-talkie.

"Leave? How do we leave?" Fang Yong asked, puzzled.

He probably guessed Li Ye's intention: to create gravity through the gravitational wave controller, accelerate the receding tide, and thus allow the stranded Tomorrow Alliance to retreat back to the distant ocean.

However, the nearest ocean is more than ten nautical miles away from Tomorrow Alliance, while the gravitational wave controller has an effective range of only 1 kilometer.

Li Ye smiled slightly, explaining his thoughts.

The Iron Whale can use gravity to alter the structure of the shallow mud, creating mud waves that will force the Tomorrow Alliance to evacuate.

Fang Yong suddenly realized what was happening and immediately did as instructed.

As the gravitational wave controller reached its maximum output power, the soil on the shallows began to undergo strange changes.

The originally hardened silt became fluid under the influence of the directional gravitational field, and tens of thousands of silt were stirred as if by an invisible hand, forming a mud wave that was hundreds of meters high.

This wave of mud slowly but irresistibly advanced toward the stranded Tomorrow Alliance, leaving strange ripples on the seabed wherever it passed.

At the same time, the soil beneath the Tomorrow Alliance's mobile cities and carrier fleet gradually transformed into quicksand. After merging with the soil waves, they began to move steadily and rapidly toward the sea, as if placed on a conveyor belt.

The Omar who were attacking were stunned when they saw this scene.

They dared not continue the pursuit for the time being, because once they entered within 1 kilometer of the Iron Whale, they would surely die.

As it approached the edge where the shoal met the ocean, the Iron Whale used gravity to create a gravitational depression, attracting the distant seawater to flow back in advance.

As the Alliance of Tomorrow was being transported to the edge by the mudslide, the tide just happened to come in and steadily supported the mobile city and the aircraft carrier fleet.

Tomorrow Alliance thus easily averted danger.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

It has to be said that the applications of gravity are truly extensive!

As for Veronica and her research team, everyone looked regretful.

The discovery of the Omar people's underwater kingdom was a rare opportunity for communication and exchange, but instead, they launched an attack.

Judging from their expressions, Li Ye roughly guessed what they were thinking and couldn't help but shrug.

“Professor Veronica, we need to be extremely vigilant when facing any alien civilization,” he said. “Because we cannot determine whether they harbor good or bad intentions. All we can rely on are the weapons in our own hands.”

Veronica nodded slowly.

She agrees with the idea that Li Ye should leave the field.
