There is only Sui Bian sitting at one end of the long table, with his elbows on the table, fingers intertwined, and looking at the small holographic screen in front of him.
He also heard the system's words, but nothing happened.
It’s something that is expected.
Celtic has a bad temper and is conceited, but he has a straightforward temperament and meets Chris, who is an anomaly in human beings. Naturally, he will stay and help Chris.
And he got a lot of useful information from what the older iron-blooded man said.
Among them, based on the description of the predators by the elder Tie Xue, Sui Bian can determine that they belong to some kind of "Zerg" civilization.
Sailing with flesh and blood, unable to reason, unable to negotiate, devouring and plundering, in endless numbers, these are all in line with the characteristics of the Zerg.
‘It’s a bit tricky.’ Sui Bian commented.
If Umbrella eliminates this reconnaissance fleet, the earth will have a hundred years of buffer time and will not be harassed by predators.
With his and Umbrella's guidance, and giving humanity a hundred years to develop, Sui Bian believed that mere predators would never be a threat.
The tricky thing is, with Umbrella's current power, can it intercept the reconnaissance fleet outside the earth?
The battlefield must not be placed on the earth. After all, once an opponent with the characteristics of devouring and assimilating comes to the earth, the result of the human race will still be extinction.
Finally, the attitude of the elder Iron-blooded people clearly shows that the Iron-blooded family will not provide substantial help to mankind.
However, Sui Bian had no expectations for this in the first place, so he couldn't be said to be disappointed.
Isn’t this another Celtic surprise?
Something is better than nothing, no loss at all.
At this moment, the Celtic and the elder Ironblood on the screen were communicating in the language of their clan.
And the system's voice sounded in Sui Bian's mind again:
[It has been detected that the elite scavenger of the Inti Unancha clan, the lone wolf, is influenced by the Celtics and intends to represent himself to assist humans in carrying out appropriate battles.
Mission reward: The host and Umbrella will gain the respect of the lone wolf.
The Lone Wolf will assist humans in resisting the predator's reconnaissance fleet. If the Lone Wolf survives the battle, he will also assist Umbrella in establishing a complete alliance with the Inti Unancha clan.]
‘He is indeed a lone wolf.’ Sui Bian sighed in his heart.
As soon as the system finished speaking, the lone wolf on the screen invited Chris to a duel, saying that as long as a human could defeat him, he would receive his personal assistance.
Although Lone Wolf used a translator to speak the invitation, Sui Bian could feel Lone Wolf's arrogance and absolute confidence in himself.
When apprentice Kelt wants to stay and fight with Chris, Lone Wolf will not stop him and will even feel relieved.
But if humans want to get help from lone wolves, then there is only one way to defeat it.
Obviously, the lone wolf believes that no human being can defeat him.
See this.
"Agree to the other party's invitation." Sui Bian reminded Chris with a smile.
Chris, who heard Sui Bian’s reminder through his headphones, accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Soon.
In an empty warehouse on the ground floor.
The lighting here is bright and the space is spacious.
In the center of the warehouse, there are still three people: Celtic, Iron Blood and Chris. There are no extra people coming to watch.
After all, this is not an entertainment competition.
The gate located on the west side of the warehouse opened, and the humans who were invited to participate in the challenge entered the warehouse and walked towards the center of the warehouse with heavy steps.
This human being is Russ, one of the Primarchs.
Russ only wore a black training uniform and sensible military boots, and had no other equipment.
Watching Ruth, who was nearly 3.5 meters tall, approaching, Celtic was shocked. He never expected that there would be such a majestic human being on the earth.
The lone wolf, who is well-informed and whose age is measured in hundreds, was not shocked at all.
"Roar!" On the contrary, the lone wolf roared excitedly when he encountered a powerful opponent.
When Ruth came to the center, Chris and Kelt took the initiative to stay away.
Russ pretended to be ready and said to the lone wolf in a deep voice: "Come on."
The lone wolf took the initiative to remove his shoulder cannon, wrist knife, boomerang and other weapons, and also prepared to fight with his bare hands.
Next.
The two sides had "back and forth" with each other, and in the end, Ruth "luckily" found the flaw, thus winning the competition "with difficulty".
[The original body under the host was detected and successfully defeated the lone wolf, so this system determines that the host has completed the mission.]
Sui Bian, who watched the entire showdown through the screen, heard the rewards issued by the system.
There is no doubt that the lone wolf is very strong. He can crush an alien to death with his bare hands.
Even the system gives it the title "Elite Scavenger".
You can fight against Russ with your bare hands, but even an elite iron-blooded warrior like Lone Wolf will only end up being killed instantly.
The battle seemed "intense", but in fact Sui Bian had made it clear to Russ that even if the lone wolf could be easily eliminated, he still had to show due respect.
Now, Umbrella's foreign allies have successfully increased from one to two.
Although the number is still small, it is better than nothing, and Sui Bian can put all his focus on dealing with the predator fleet in the near future.
————————
…
Within the solar system.
About to enter the cosmic region within the gravitational range of Mars.
An unprecedentedly large "living body" fleet is heading towards Mars at extremely fast speeds.
A rough scan revealed that there are dozens of large "living ships" and countless small "ships", at least over a thousand.
The reason why these ships are called "living bodies" is because the ships have insect-like exoskeletons with different shapes. Some seem to be wriggling, while others have dense tentacles.
It's not so much a fleet as it is a swarm of insects...
A swarm of insects that can travel in space.
In fact, if you look closely at these living ships, it is not difficult to find the metal parts that are not covered by biological tissue.
This is the predator's reconnaissance fleet.
The center of the fleet is a mothership that looks like an earth beetle.
The mothership is huge, more than ten times that of other large ships, and more than a hundred times that of small ships.
Since there is no other reference object, it is currently impossible to judge the size of the mothership.
Immediately afterwards, the originally fast-sailing Predator fleet began to slow down after entering the gravitational range of Mars.
At this time, the Predator fleet happened to pass by the satellite of Mars, Deimos.
Just look at the mothership, which is about the same size as Deimos, which is about 12 kilometers in diameter...
This is only the mothership of a reconnaissance fleet.
Otherwise, the Inti Unancha clan where the lone wolf belongs would make a decisive decision to abandon the hunting planet in the face of an endless fleet of predators.
The predator civilization must have living ships larger than this mothership.
Suddenly!
Phew——————!
Three dazzling blue lights streaked across the starry sky, rushing straight towards the predator fleet.
