'Boom!'
Amidst the roaring explosion, a pure white tree fell to the ground.
"The nearby plants have been cleared. We're heading back now." The aircraft circled the sky and flew back to the base.
"The problem has been solved." At this time, in the command center, the commander was listening to the report of the bombing mission. "There are a total of fifty trees in the forest and they've all been blown up. Although we can't rule out the possibility that there are such creatures in other forests, they're all very far away. They shouldn't affect us."
"Recently, 'Search No.3' has found the remains of the bombers that crashed during the forest operation. The remains show that they crashed because their engines were sucked into a large number of small objects. According to the investigation, there will occasionally be storms that contain a large number of hard objects in the forest."
The commander turned around and looked at the Voidfolk behind him. "This means that their crash has nothing to do with the fluffballs … Now, we'll continue the investigation of the 'super-unified species' in the forest."
"…" Standing behind the commander was the 'Scholar'.
He was one of the Voidfolk who had always maintained a cautious attitude. He said nothing and turned around to leave.
After he walked out of the laboratory, he looked at the large group of Voidfolk who were busy around him. He then looked up at the aircraft that were everywhere in the sky. After that, he turned around and walked towards a nearby building.
It was a residential building. After he opened the door, he immediately saw a Voidfolk sitting inside listlessly. The Voidfolk did not react to his arrival.
The Scholar's words made him look up. "You're the first one to see the 'fluffballs'?"
"… Yes."
…
"This time, we're going to eradicate the forest here! The higher-ups have given the order to prepare for the colonization plan! "
The Voidfolk who thought that the threat of the fluffballs had been dealt with gathered at the edge of the forest again. Under the cover of dozens of 'Howlers' behind them, ten huge 'Earthmovers' were knocking down trees one after another. They dug up the soil and transformed the terrain of the area.
"The colonization plan is starting so soon? It feels like there are still many problems that have not been solved. There are too many dangerous creatures here. "
"It's because of the many dangerous creatures that we need to colonize as soon as possible. We'll make this land ours. As long as we dig up their forest, we'll be able to chase them away. "
The guards of the Voidfolk chatted nearby as they stood guard. Lin basically knew what they were talking about.
This was known through some Voidfolk who were infected with a special fungus …
These fungi were called 'invisible fungi' and were difficult to detect with the current detection methods of the Voidfolk. They would stick to the armor of the Voidfolk. Following them back to the base, almost all the Voidfolk who ran out of the forest were infected with this fungus.
The fungus would stick to their body when they occasionally took off their armor, it could move slowly and finally attach itself to their auditory organs. They would slowly infiltrate their auditory nerves, allowing Lin to hear what this Void Dweller could hear.
Because it wouldn't cause any harm. It was also difficult for them to realize that they were being parasitized.
Recently, Lin had heard about the main content of the colonization plan through them, which was quite interesting.
Recently, more and more things had been sent from the Void base, and some of them were called 'cloning devices' …
This was because the Voidfolk's reproduction speed was very slow. They needed about 25 years to grow from young to adult and could fight. Furthermore, they only gave birth to one at a time. The female Voidfolk did not have the ability to reproduce by herself. It required the help of a large number of equipment and medicines.
Such troublesome reproduction made it difficult for them to rapidly increase their numbers, so they came up with a method of 'cloning'.
It was a mixture of somatic cells and germ cells without nuclei, and then an 'embryo' was created.
Then, a large number of medicines called 'hormones' were used to make this embryo grow quickly, so that a large number of individuals could be created. However, the Voidfolk that grew from these embryos grew abnormally in a transparent jar like incubator. They were very 'deformed' and were only one-third the size of ordinary Voidfolk. They were only about a meter long and had a lifespan of only a few years. At the same time, their intelligence was relatively low, but they could understand the orders of the Voidfolk and understand language.
This was enough for many purposes. They planned to mass produce these deformed clones to operate machinery and build buildings. After eradicating the forest and occupying the entire place, after a few years, when they were almost all dead, they had built a city and then brought in the Voidfolk who really wanted to live in it from afar.
To put it simply. The Voidfolk wanted to use this method to produce a large amount of labor to help them build the city. These clones were similar to slaves. It seemed that creatures that had developed to this extent also liked to use slaves, and they were very convenient slaves. Because they had short lives and small bodies, there was no need to worry about them having problems like protests.
It seemed like a perfect plan, but in fact, it was the first time the Voidfolk had used this method to colonize. In the past, they only used these clones to conduct medicine research, and many Voidfolk expressed concern. However, because it was an order from above, they could not do anything.
They seemed to be very anxious because many dangerous creatures had not been dealt with, or rather, because there were too many dangerous creatures, they planned to directly 'take root' here to stabilize themselves.
Regardless … Lin felt that it was about time for them to leave.
"Reporting to the commander!"
In the command room, a Voidfolk said, "A thousand kilometers away from here, the remote control found a large number of biological groups.
"Biological groups?" The commander said, "Is it a 'super-unified species'?"
"It shouldn't be, this is a video sent back."
An image suddenly popped up in front of the commander. In the image, they could see a large group of creatures on the plains. Their forms were almost exactly the same, and it could be seen that they were not a 'super-unified species'.
Most importantly, they were very large. The accompanying introduction said that these creatures were at least five meters tall and about ten meters long. They looked like small silver mountains, but they had legs.
"They are coming towards us, what should we do, commander?"
The commander said, "Use scare bombs to scare them away."
"Commander!" Suddenly, a Voidfolk ran in from the entrance and said, "Something strange happened in the forest, the remote control found a large number of 'fluffy balls' flying from the depths of the forest and floating towards us!"
"What? Didn't they all explode? "
"Commander!" At this time, another Voidfolk rushed in and said, "A group of soldiers outside have gone crazy! They are shooting everywhere with weapons! "
"Commander! The remote control for detection has crashed! "
