Chapter 75 Sarcoma Space (please subscribe)
On the Qingfeng, Shen Qing looked at this operation with some amusement, and was amused by Song Chi's caution.
Of course, he just couldn't help but laugh a little. He had no objection to the attitude of caution, and he even quite praised Song Chi's behavior from the bottom of his heart.
Countless Xinhuo captains die every year while exploring alien planets. They only have one life. No matter how cautious you are, you are never too cautious.
Hearing the laughter coming from the projection screen, Song Chi replied while controlling the drone to return.
“I have a classmate who has always regarded the word “low-key” as his motto in life. What do you think my motto in life is?”
“Prudent?”
< br>Shen Qing thought about it carefully, and finally said these two words tentatively. He originally thought that Song Chi would firmly deny him, but Song Chi actually nodded seriously and added a sentence in passing.
"You can also call it "steady"."
Shen Qing covered his forehead, a little speechless in his heart, he was so steady, the precocious man in his memory Not so.
Song Chi didn't care about Shen Qing's reaction. He just said it casually without any exaggeration.
On the day when Nether Energy activated the Xinghai Market Order and successfully became the Lord of the Market, the word "steady" was indeed engraved on the top page of his life dictionary, but there was nothing he could do if others didn't believe him.
Recovering the Hornet-class drone and confirming that there was no danger within the space curtain, the two controlled the airship and passed through the space curtain one after another.
This time Song Chi's Cangqiong was walking behind, while Qingfeng was leading the way. The enclosed space they were in now was the first layer of the ruins that Shen Qing had mentioned before.
According to his statement, he discovered the space curtain on the side of the boulder by accident. After entering it, he discovered a blue strange object and multiple items sealed in this enclosed space. The crystal box of white wonders.
In the end, Shen Qing spent a lot of effort and nearly twenty hours to blast open the crystal box with the main cannon on the Qingfeng, and then obtained those rare objects. .
However, after the crystal box was shattered, it completely weathered and dissipated along with the fragments, and it is no longer visible now.
This enclosed space is not too small, with a length and width of several thousand meters, and even a height close to a thousand meters. However, it is not enough in front of two Xinhuo airships. Only two In less than a minute, Song Chi successfully saw the entrance to the second-floor ruins that Shen Qing mentioned.
It is a space curtain standing directly above this enclosed space. Different from the space curtain outside, this space curtain seems to be reinforced. It cannot support traffic. The surface of the space curtain is filled with powerful energy. The repulsive force prevents all objects from approaching.
Seeing this scene, Song Chi finally understood why Shen Qing said that there was a second layer of space in the ruins. There was obviously another layer of space above this space curtain.
"The repulsive stance on this thing is extremely strong. Last time I fired the main and secondary guns of the Qingfeng for more than two hours, but I couldn't break it."
"Let's try it together this time. If If it still doesn't work, then we are destined to miss the things above this ruin!"
Shen Qing stared at the square space curtain above that was more than a hundred meters long and wide, with his fists clenched and something in his tone. nervous.
The moment he and Song Chi teleported over this floating land, the interstellar beacon he left had dissipated. This was their last chance to explore this ruins. If they failed, If so, after returning, it will no longer be able to be targeted at this star field.
Knowing that time was running out and they had spent more than an hour on the road, the two of them no longer wasted time. The main and secondary guns on the two airships opened up their firepower and fired wildly at the space curtain above.
Boom!
Beam rays and nether energy bombs collided with the repulsive stance one after another, followed by a steady stream of explosions and roars.
Fortunately, this space is a completely sealed area, otherwise Song Chi is really afraid that the movement will attract the terrifying enlarged version of the earthworm creature.
In this closed dark space, the concept of time is very vague. If it were not for the special timing device on the airship, Song Chi and the two would not have known how long they had been attacking repeatedly.
On the fourth hour of continuous fire coverage, the repulsive stance on the space curtain finally changed, and the brilliance flashing on it was obviously dimmed. Catching this, the two people who were already a little numb , his eyes regained their sparkle.
In the eighth hour of continuous fire bombardment, the exclusionary stance on the space curtain has dimmed to the extreme, and it seems that it will be completely broken at any time.
However, until the twelfth hour of the fire bombardment, this repulsive stance was still maintained firmly, with no intention of breaking.
On the thirteenth hour, when Song Chi and the two of them were completely mechanically clicking the fire button.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly a crisp trembling sound came into the two airships. They looked up eagerly, and in the next second, strong surprise appeared on their faces.
I saw that the repulsive stance surrounding the space curtain in the sky had completely dimmed at some point. The attacks triggered by the two airships were no longer blocked by the repulsive stance, leaving behind traces on the space curtain. After waves of ripples, it sank straight into the unknown space above the space curtain.
Overjoyed, Shen Qing subconsciously urged the Qingfeng to move towards the space curtain, but was stopped by Song Chi.
Originally it was just a subconscious act of overexcitement. After being blocked and reminded by Song Chi, Shen Qing quickly reacted and then, together with Song Chi, opened the airship door and released a drone.
During the exploration of alien space, more than 99% of Xinhuo captains will bring one or two combat robots and detection drones.
Even if there is no network, these two can only control and move within the range of the Xinhuo airship's own magnetic wave position, but they are still the majority of Xinhuo airship captains in alien space. Standard for exploration.
After all, even though the Xinhuo flying ship's own magnetic wave range is extremely limited, in many cases, the combat robots and drones can play a big role.
For example, this is the current situation.
The two drones disappeared into the space curtain one after another. The difference between them was less than one second, but the expressions of Song Chi and Shen Qing below them changed completely.
After the drone controlled by Shen Qing sank into the space behind the scenes, the image on the projection screen in his hand suddenly went dark, and the connection with the Hornet-class drone was completely lost. Song Chi was different. After just over ten hours of buffering, the brainwave remote control system had already completed buffering again, and he had once again laid a brainwave beacon on the drone, so even if there was a space barrier, he could Still haven’t lost sight of the Hornet-class drone.
In the cockpit of the Qingfeng, Shen Qing turned his eyes to the communication screen on one side, but before he could ask about the drone, he saw Song Chi on the communication screen. The look of fear on the projection's face was an expression that appeared after witnessing something terrible.
According to his understanding of Song Chi since childhood, what could make Song Chi lose his temper like this must be that there is something incredible in the space above the space curtain.
Almost subconsciously, he moved quickly with his hands to control the Qingfeng to deflect the hull and retreat quickly.
On the side, the Cangqiong's reaction was a little faster than his. At the same time, Song Chi's roar also sounded on the communication screen:
"Quickly retreat!"
...
As for Song Chi, after the Hornet-class drone passed through the space curtain and reached another space above, what he saw from the perspective of the drone was also a piece of land with a length and width of several thousand meters. space.
Different from the first floor, in the middle of the second floor, there is a cube-shaped crystal box about ten meters wide. This crystal box emits dazzling white light, covering the entire second floor. The space is completely illuminated.
Because of this, under the illumination of this white light, Song Chi saw an unforgettable sight.
Thousands of sarcoma-like things with a height of about 100 meters have grown all over the second level of space. These sarcomas are not only sticky, but also vague. They beat as if they were all alive.
In the deepest part of the second layer of space, Song Chi even saw a giant sarcoma with a height of tens of meters. The beating on this sarcoma was even more obvious. Song Chi could even faintly see through the sarcoma wall. Seeing the huge and bloated monster figure inside, there is no doubt that the creatures sleeping in these tumors are all unknown creatures.
This is not the most terrifying thing. Just when Song Chi was about to control the drone to return quietly, unwilling to disturb these terrible sarcomas, he realized that it was already too late.
The previous rounds of artillery fire that passed through the space curtain from the Cangqiong and Qingfeng had completely blasted several sarcomas. At this moment, these sarcomas were shaking violently, and the monsters dormant inside were They have been awakened, and as these sarcomas continue to shake, all the sarcomas in the entire second layer of space are being awakened one after another.
Crack!
When the first few sarcomas that were hit were completely torn apart, the creatures wrapped in them completely emerged from the drone's perspective.
"Damn it, it's the Zerg. There are tens of thousands of Zerg sleeping on the second floor, and there is also a queen."
When the Cangqiong and Qingfeng launched hundreds of miles away, Shen Qing didn't need to ask. , Song Chi yelled directly.
When Shen Qing heard the word "Zerg", his reaction was almost exactly the same as Song Chi's. After a flash of fear in his eyes, his face darkened.
The Zerg race, this is a race in the star sea that is as famous as the Void Demon. The Insect Plague and the Void Scourge are notorious, ranking among the top five in the entire Shattered Star Sea.
At this moment, Song Chi finally understood it completely. He had always wondered about one thing before, what kind of power could cause a piece of Star Sea Floating Land to be destroyed so completely, almost to the extent that not a single blade of grass could grow.
The emergence of these Zerg until now almost perfectly fits this answer.
Different from the Void Demon's bloodthirsty and murderous nature, the characteristic of the Zerg is to devour and devour everything with energy. No matter which star field this creature appears in, the final result must be in this star field. All resources were swallowed up and turned into a completely desolate star field.
Although other star sea civilizations also plunder resources, what they plunder is the resources themselves, not the environment where the resources were born. But these Zerg are different. Wherever they go, they completely devour everything. , completely destroying a star field and losing any value.
In panic, both of them were at a loss.
Although they all came from the No. 1 Xinhuo Academy in Jiangyuan, received orthodox Xinhuo education, and knew a lot about notorious creatures like the Zerg, but after all, all of this was just heard. What I heard and saw in books.
When faced with it in person, they are two completely different situations.
In the end, it was Song Chi, who had been born in two lifetimes, who turned around first. While recalling all kinds of information about the Zerg, he quickly called Shen Qing through the communication screen.
"Daqing, what should I say, fight or run?"
After his roar, Shen Qing also recovered his mind, thought for a moment and replied.
“Can we roughly determine the number of the Zerg?”
“A conservative estimate is more than 30,000. In addition, I don’t know whether the queen can continue to lay eggs.”
< br>Song Chi's reply was very quick. It was obvious that he had basically understood the entire information about the Zerg above through the perspective of the drone. However, he had not finished speaking yet. He quickly added:
"Of course, it doesn't matter whether they lay eggs or not. There is no excess energy supply in the upper space. Otherwise, this group of Zerg will not choose to hibernate collectively. Without energy supply, even if the eggs hatch, the larvae cannot Rapid growth does not pose a threat to us."
At this time, Shen Qing said:
"In other words, what we need to deal with is more than 30,000 people who have just woken up from hibernation. A weak Zerg that has not replenished its energy for a long time? ”
Having said this, Shen Qing's meaning was actually quite obvious, and a look of eagerness appeared on his face.
In this regard, Song Chi didn't have much to say. He actually didn't want to take action. Although the Zerg above were indeed very weak, their numbers were there after all, and he didn't want to risk fighting them. .
However, since Shen Qing has expressed this intention, it is not easy for him to refuse directly. After all, he can set up an anchor point and later come to this ruins through Zhutian Market. He only needs to wait until he is strong enough. When the time comes, he can just come over and clean up these Zerg races. By then, all the harvest from this ruins will be his alone.
But if he really does this, it is undoubtedly the behavior of a villain. Naturally, he is unwilling to do such a thing.
If the person traveling with him is not Shen Qing but a passerby, or if it is not Shen Qing who brought him here this time, but he brought Shen Qing here to explore together after discovering the ruins, then he I will never hesitate at this moment and directly choose to run away, waiting for the follow-up strength to be strong enough to explore again, but the key is not there.
For Shen Qing, who has fully believed in him and played with him since childhood, he cannot do such a thing and is unwilling to do it. This has nothing to do with being pretentious or not, but a matter of principle and bottom line for a normal person.
