Due to a strange "earthquake", the three "students" who came to search for aliens each observed the underground in their own way, and their faces were not very good.
The source of the earthquake is an extremely large gray rock formation, estimated to be half the size of Academy City. There are obvious gaps between it and other surrounding rock masses. It seems that the earthquake just now was caused by a slight dislocation of this rock formation.
Yes, but the problem is, how can a mere ordinary rock formation emit the kind of special sound waves that only the "old days" and "outer gods" can detect?
After careful observation, Kaos discovered with a bit of a toothache that what kind of rock formation was this? It was clearly a super-giant sand devil insect that had its body coiled up and was almost fossilized. Its appearance was similar to those that sprang out from time to time to cause trouble on the surface of the earth.
Small, no, micro sand devils have many obvious differences and are probably the ancient ancestors of all sand devils on Europa 7.
Although I don’t know its origin, since it has been sleeping for a long time and now it suddenly shows signs of waking up, it cannot be separated from the sudden arrival of the alien fleet. It must have been an old enemy in ancient times.
"Hey, Silly Hair Girl, are you going to say next that you have discovered it a long time ago and brought us here to solve it in the name of finding aliens?" Kedoli took out a knife from nowhere.
He pointed the fork at Naia's head, intentionally or unintentionally, with an expression as if she would poke it without saying anything.
"This kind of thing will definitely cause big trouble. If you say you don't know, Naiya, I won't believe it." Kaos also stated his position.
"Ahaha... Of course I brought you here to deal with it. Just by looking at its position, you can tell that the space-time rift was caused by its fall." Naia rolled her green eyes: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be?
To let you deal with aliens?"
Hmm... Judging from this reaction, she should definitely know that there is something here that can only be solved by a few "people" present, but she underestimated the dangers of this thing, and now she is a bit blind.
"So, what's your next plan?" Kedoli naturally wouldn't let Naia's flaw go.
"How about we just go underground and suppress it?" Naiya said, obviously a prepared countermeasure.
Kedoli was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer. She raised her eyebrows and was about to roar, but was stopped by Kaos.
"With the current technological level of Europa 7, it really can't help much to deal with that thing. The people who can solve it are already here." Kaos took away Kedori's fork: "This operation is obviously not going to help."
There will be foreign aid, and it will eventually go deep underground, so what Naia said is actually not too wrong."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Kedoli was still angry and her eyes were bigger than usual.
"First find a nearby shelter, register it to reassure the Governor's Mansion, and then dig a hole into the ground on your own." Kaos opened the multi-purpose tool and began to search for the location of nearby shelters.
"Uh-huh," Kedoli said noncommittally, "If everything goes well, you can indeed go back to being your good baby, but if something unexpected happens and you have to use your full strength, just say goodbye to your daily life."
"If that happens, it must be Naia's fault." Kaos said smoothly.
Naiya's stupid hair trembled, and she wanted to say something but gave up.

Academy City Vault 101.
"Naia Qiongqi, Kedoli Cloud, and Kaos Cloud, the registration is complete," the staff member guarding the entrance of the shelter said while writing down the names of the three boys and girls on a record board.
They lectured: "Have you forgotten what you did during the alarm drill? If I were your teacher, I would scold you severely."
Scolding three Old Ones and Outer Gods at once was a record. Kaos complained in his heart, but still nodded obediently on the surface.
"We wanted to see what aliens look like~ but we didn't see anything~" Kedoli, being the youngest one in appearance, started acting cute.
"There's nothing interesting to see. They're probably just little green men with big heads and big eyes. Okay, come on in." This staff member seemed to be a fan of science fiction movies at first glance.
To be honest, those exoskeleton lizards and their silver shuttle-shaped spacecraft are quite handsome, but the current battle situation is...
Kaos paid a little attention to the space battle situation before entering. After the aliens survived the first wave of attacks, they began to counterattack the Third Fleet.
Different from the warships in various sci-fi movies and TV shows where the warships are neatly arranged and bombarding each other, the space battlefield at this time looks like someone has poked a hornet's nest. Almost no one is staying in place, and heavy ships are attacking each other at the same time.
Missile range, drone control distance, energy absorbing device influence range, jump interrupter interference band and other range-limited functions are involved, while light ships actively rely on high evasion to block mass effect cannons with a range that can traverse the battlefield.
The warships on the entire battlefield are in a state of "circling a certain target" at any time, which looks dizzying.
In Star Alliance battlefield rehearsals, this kind of chaotic battle usually ends with one party's battleship being injured and withdrawing, but it seems that it is still very early.
After sending a message to Zhou that he had entered the shelter, Kaos followed Naiya and Kedoli and shuttled among the nervous or excited refugees, and at the same time began to "scan" the shelter.
Perhaps underground shelters on other planets were dug out by engineering equipment, but most of the shelters on Europa 7 were former sand devil insect nests, which explains why the layout of each shelter is different.
Urban mystery.
Since the shelters themselves are designed to respond to large-scale events such as "alien invasion", "major natural disasters", and "leakage of biochemical materials", they will have equipment to purify water and air, and micro-factories to produce food.
Small power stations that produce electricity, etc.
These functional compartments themselves are nothing to look at. Kaos itself wants to find a location where it can drill a hole into the ground without causing structural problems in the shelter to push back the awakening big bug.
When it comes to the insect-shaped "Old One" or "Outer God", Kaos only remembers "Sude Mel". If he remembers correctly, Sude Mel is probably "Qiu Yin". Of course
, or maybe it’s because he doesn’t really like those guys without humanoid bodies, so he doesn’t pay much attention to them.
As for the giant petrified sand insect that is gradually waking up under the Academy City at this moment, since it has traveled through the universe, it is not the guy who only eats dirt.
Oh, here it is.
After repeatedly "scanning" the bottom layer of the shelter, Kaos found a gap that was probably caused by a construction error. Through it, he could directly contact the soil. The staff on duty at the shelter also built a small garden here and planted some
plant.
If you dig down from the small garden, you can loosen the soil for them... maybe.
