Hao Ren and Vivian frowned at the same time as they looked at the images of the battlefield sent back by the drones.
Vivian tapped her finger on the crystal panel of the console and asked, "Did you see that?"
"Yes," Hao Ren nodded. "At the last moment, those monsters seemed to have suddenly become rational?"
"Not necessarily rational, but it was obvious that they had become orderly, and they even knew how to cover each other and cooperate with each other. What do you think is going on?"
"Suddenly evolved in the middle of the fight? Their intelligence has grown by leaps and bounds? " Hao Ren was a little puzzled. "Or they suddenly got rid of the influence of the Mad Lord and became able to control themselves?"
Vivian shook her head. "I don't think so. The level of cooperation shown by those monsters at the last moment does not seem to be the result of sudden enlightenment on the battlefield. Hundreds of monsters acted in an orderly manner at the same time. Did they break through at the same time?"
However, no one could answer these questions.
The monsters had all been wiped out. These creatures contaminated with the taint of the Mad Lord were extremely dangerous. Hao Ren did not intend to capture any of them alive in the first encounter. But Star Cluster X was still very big, and Hao Ren believed that there were definitely more minions of the Mad Lord here. He would eventually have a chance to study these things.
"Logistics drones enter the battlefield, clean up the battlefield and recover debris samples." Hao Ren glanced at the battle report sent by Nolan and said casually, "The focus is on the festered monsters that can roughly be seen as primitive creatures, and those things that look like spaceships. I think they look a little familiar."
After a moment, he added, "Let the armed drones anchor on the spot and form a defense circle nearby. Let the engineering drones erect the turrets and fortress missile launchers. This place is not safe at all."
The drone cluster completed the task assignment with amazing efficiency. The armed drones automatically reorganized into formations and began to anchor into semi-fixed turrets in the surrounding space. The damaged drones went to the repair area to perform recovery procedures or stayed in place to wait for logistics support. The engineering drones appeared in the corner of the battlefield with the flash of the end of the warp jump and began to build various outpost radars, turrets, and …
A new drone hive and twenty independent munitions factories.
One of the highest purposes of the drone cluster: expansion. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well squat down and kill a few hundred or two hundred thousand soldiers …
If they were not controlled by Hao Ren and possessed a high degree of rationality and order, no matter how one looked at it, this kind of fleet that could quickly spread across the entire universe like a virus was a crazy thing. If they were thrown into other worldviews, they would have been fighting with American tramps and Japanese high school students.
After assigning the tasks, Hao Ren turned his attention to the floating continent that was still quietly floating in space.
The floating continent had already been attacked by the festered monsters. If not for the droid swarm's quick support, it would have been annihilated by the power of Chaos. At this moment, the 'space continent' was still surrounded by a faint light film, but the intensity of the light film was significantly weaker than at the beginning, and there were signs of thinning and trembling in many places, which was a sign that the shield was about to completely collapse.
But aside from the fact that the shield had been severely weakened, the floating continent itself did not seem to have suffered any damage. Or rather, it was already a floating wreckage, so even if it had suffered any more damage, it would not be easy to see it …
Hao Ren looked at Nolan's holographic image. "Can we establish a communication?"
Nolan's expression was a little strange. "How should I put it … I guess it's established?"
Hao Ren was stunned. "What do you mean by 'established'?"
Nolan helplessly turned on the channel. "You will know when you listen to it."
Then Hao Ren heard a wave of noise coming from all directions. No, the sound was so noisy that it seemed to be smashing from all directions!
There were countless voices shouting and yelling. Not to mention accurately deciphering the meaning of every word, just finding a few sentences that he could understand from the noise was enough to kill him. Hao Ren immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He then focused all his attention and finally managed to distinguish some intermittent things. "Wow! Wow! Wow! They really retreated! They really retreated! Those bad guys are retreating! "
"So the previous spaceship did not escape. It really came to help!"
"Who saw my psionic regulator? Someone saw my psionic regulator …"
"So many! There are so many small spaceships in the sky! Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand … I can't even count! "
"Did anyone see my psionic regulator? Did anyone … "
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was endless and chaotic. If it were not for his extraordinary physical and mental strength, he would have fainted by now. He turned off the communication and looked up at Nolan. "What the hell is this? Did you collect all the signals on the surface? "
"I'm not that crazy." Nolan rolled her eyes at the sky. "These are all transmitted from the surface into space. Do you understand? These are all sent out by them! All the channels are mixed together, and they are all at the same level. There is no way I can find a line that can be called a 'communication line'! "
"I'm sending a signal to them …" Hao Ren was confused, but he still said, "Can they quiet down and listen?"
Nolan sent a signal to the space continent, and a new wave of voices came instantly.
"Wow, wow! They are talking! They are talking! They are talking to us! Do you want to reply? Do you want to reply? "
"I don't know what to do at this time! They really have a lot of spaceships, but each spaceship is so small … "
"Who saw my psionic regulator? Did anyone see my psionic regulator? "
"Shut up! Your psionic regulator is hanging around your neck! "
"I think we should let the queen make the decision at this time. After all, the queen is the smartest one!"
"How many times have I told you, we don't have a queen!"
"This is the result." Nolan turned off the communication and looked at Hao Ren with a broken face.
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched twice, and he finally realized that there was no way to communicate at all.
The race on the surface … did not know what kind of race it was. In short, this race seemed to have a very … 'strange' way of thinking. They were noisy and messy. Although they could hear the communication that others sent to them, they would not make any meaningful reply. They seemed to be immersed in their own endless debate, leaving no room for third parties to interrupt.
Hao Ren felt that the SAN value of such a race had been reset to zero. A harmless, crazy race?
However, from the analysis of their communication, this race seemed to be rational and logical.
"What should we do?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren. Her eyes were calm, and Hao Ren also calmed down. Obviously, the vampire maiden was not at a loss for ideas under such circumstances. She just wanted to hear Hao Ren's opinion.
"Let's go down." Hao Ren quickly made a decision. "There is a barrier of communication through the communication device. If we talk face to face … maybe we can figure something out."
"There is a certain risk," Nolan reminded. "Although we have just rescued the survivors on this space continent, and they seem to be hostile to the minions of the Mad Lord, we know nothing about this race. We don't know how they will react to foreigners landing on their land."
"We have millions of armed drones surrounding this place, and Vivian and I can teleport back if we're in danger. If I don't go in with such good security measures, it would be a waste of my work permit," Hao Ren said, waving his hand. "Hover above us later, and be ready to provide support and cover. Of course, control your desire to fire. You should have fired enough just now. "
"Get ready to go down." Hao Ren poked the MDT, who had been lying on the console and muttering. The MDT basically said that it could not control the battleship, that it was not its turn to fight, and that it was not even in charge of the drone cluster. "Stop nagging and get down to business."
After being poked twice, the MDT reluctantly floated up. "Pfft, you are the boss …"
Although the survivors on the surface were completely unable to communicate normally, Hao Ren announced his peaceful purpose and his willingness to land for "friendly communication" through the public broadcast before Nolan descended. Unsurprisingly, this announcement caused a new wave of noise from the mysterious race. Still … no one sent a welcome or a refusal to land.
But judging from the excitement and anticipation in their noisy discussion … perhaps this group of strange guys was not averse to the third kind of contact … right?
Nolan slowly descended and successfully passed through the layer of shield over the continent (no doubt this was good news). Based on the detection of life on the surface, she came to a vast wilderness and dropped Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lil Pea down.
Hao Ren saw an endless grassland stretching in front of his eyes. In the distance, he could also see ink-colored mountains and lush forests. Huge palaces, cities, and what looked like giant turrets dotted these primitive ecosystems. The sky was covered with a layer of shimmering atmosphere. The thickness of the atmosphere was actually very thin, but under the effect of some artificial life-support system, this thin layer of atmosphere maintained a relatively comfortable pressure.
Many invisible light sources floated in the atmosphere, maintaining the light of this remnant world. These light sources were not dazzling, but they were enough to light up the planetary wreckage floating in the dark space.
There was no one around, and only countless swaying grass could be seen. But from the life detection report sent by the MDT, Hao Ren confirmed that he was in the right place. He spread his hands and spread his voice through the translation plug-in.
"We come with goodwill, and we hope to help you. Now, who can come out and talk to me? "
After a while, Hao Ren finally saw a small shimmering figure coming out of the nearby grass.
It was a sprite only as tall as his calf.
