"If the monster found you, why didn't it come down?"
"I don't know." Will shook his head, "Maybe it's because it and I are the only two living things on this planet, or maybe it's observing me and humans. I once found some alien civilizations.
There are traces, but they were all submerged in the sand and dust. I don’t know how many years ago those buildings were, but I think that alien monster probably destroyed a civilization.”
"Was there ever civilization here?"
"There used to be a civilization here, and it had a slightly more advanced technological level than the current human civilization." Salomon replied. They were standing on a cliff at the moment, and under the cliff were rocks eroded by wind and sand like a bush.
Zhigao Tower. A lost team is located among the ruins. They are hiding from the sandstorm here, but the maze-like passages make it difficult for them to move forward. Catherine is communicating with them, providing path guidance and fire assistance, through bolters
The sound of gunfire guided them.
"This city must have been formed earlier than the desert appeared, otherwise those aliens would never have built the city in the lowlands." Guards No. 0 pointed to the tower below, "Even if the Inhuman monsters
If all the plants were eaten, the planet would never be in this state. I think war is responsible for most of it."
"Civil War." The Mystic Mage nodded. In the dim environment, Catherine's bolter flame was the only light source. The Sisterhood did not have a high-beam searchlight mounted on its body. Doing so in such an environment would only attract potential
"Remember what I said about the characteristics of that monster?" Salomon said, "It swallows flesh and memory, lurks in the host body and manipulates living things. It can be imagined that the trust between individuals of the intelligent population at that time was almost nonexistent.
, just like the water source of this world. The collapse of social order and the spread of chaos provide an excellent hunting environment for that monster. But civil war cannot wipe out the plants on the entire planet, so we may face a very hungry monster.
"
"The death of this civilization is extremely long. No civilization can withstand such a catastrophe. Perhaps this is why we found a large number of alien skeletons with mechanical prostheses. They want to escape the distrust brought by flesh and blood." Zero published
My own opinion, “This is a very interesting social science issue. I believe that at some point in time, the surviving aliens began to mechanize themselves. They may even form some groups that have undergone similar transformations, which is very
Interesting, the long-standing blood relationship has been replaced by a transformed relationship..."
"My lord, they are coming." Catherine interrupted Zero's tirade. Although she was wearing a helmet, Zero still felt like she was glaring at him, as if she was scolding him for diverting the monarch's attention to the Sociological Society issue.
"Please allow us to examine them. If that monster can lurk and manipulate intelligent creatures, I think we need to increase the security level."
"Agree, I will help you check." The mystic said. In the most extreme case, the air here must be filled with nano-parasites of the Inhumans. Even if this civilization has been destroyed, all the people who have come to this planet will
People cannot take it lightly. If the parasite could be detected using biological detection, then the aliens of this civilization would have waged war on the hive. Or they did, but it was too late, and the social order had collapsed. Survivors
The animals are hunted until they fall below the minimum number of individuals required for population development, and then become completely extinct.
According to the plan, all the teams were heading towards Salomon's location, and Salomon was tracking the traces of Leopold Fitz. While the main body of the monster was still far away from them, he planned to
Send this reckless guy back. This is to maintain his promise, he has to do this - he has sent a communication to all squad leaders, asking them to arrest Leopold Fitz immediately if they find him.
Even if one of his legs was broken, he would have to be sent back. Salomon had a hunch that if Leopold Fitz was allowed to run around outside, he would definitely have an irreversible negative impact on the battle plan.
Salomon did not use biological detection methods, but directly probed the thoughts of all team members. After confirming that they were not infected, Catherine put down her gun and chain sword.
"For my lord." The captain of the second team nodded and obediently joined the battle sequence Catherine prepared for them. Salomon greeted them enthusiastically and read out their names one by one. He didn't need it at all.
Knights can be identified by the displays in their helmets or the personalized decorations on their armor. Catherine turned her head and said to Salomon, "My lord, there are two more teams approaching here. We need to speed up our actions."
"My lord!" The mystic heard the voice of another team in the helmet earpiece. The display showed that this team belonged to the Τ(eta) team. "The scouts discovered human footprints."
"Report location!" Salomon said. "No contact until it is determined whether the target is Leopold Fitz."
"There's someone there!" Will suddenly fell down, holding the spear and pistol tightly in his hands.
The sandstorm that enveloped the cave where they lived had just passed, and Will couldn't wait to go out with Simmons to look for water sources. The long-term desert life forced him to master the method of finding water sources - there are many underground rivers under the desert. If
On Earth, it is possible to judge the direction of underground rivers through plants, but on this planet, almost all biomass has disappeared for unknown reasons. Will can only use groundwater detectors to find fixed water sources.
.
However, the underground water detector had long been damaged. For so many years, Will could only pray that the sandstorm would not dry up the underground river. After he rescued Simmons, the female scientist helped him repair the damaged ruins. He planned to take it with him
Follow Simmons away from his residence, looking for new water sources, and fulfilling the female scientist's wish to take a bath.
"Who?" Simmons' eyes widened, not understanding what happened yet, "Could it be..."
"It shouldn't be that monster. That monster is always accompanied by sandstorms, and there won't be such a large number." Will and Simmons carefully poked their heads out and observed the figures in the distance with telescopes. "They seem to have discovered us.
"I've been here for so long that I completely forgot to disguise myself." Will said in annoyance.
"Maybe they are here to rescue us?" Simmons swallowed. She was thirsty and hungry. After being far away from the cave, water and food were even more precious. After all, no one knew whether they would get lost in this vast land.
In the desert. There are too many accidents here. Road signs may be submerged in sand and dust at any time. The ever-changing sand dunes cover up the mountains and cannot provide effective landmarks. Even Will has had many experiences of getting lost. If he hadn't been lucky enough,
, it is impossible to crawl back to your cave.
"They have weapons, we'd better leave first." Without saying a word, Will, who has military experience, immediately picked up Simmons and ran back. In his imagination, he used his own footprints to guide the trackers away from the place he had discovered.
Water sources and caves. This plan was very good, but years of malnutrition had reduced his physical strength so much that in the end it was Simmons who dragged him away.
"We still have guns, Will," she gasped, "and we can set a trap!"
