Chapter 354 Self-destructing Bait
"Huh..."
Lv Yongchang took a long breath, suppressed his doubts and gave an order.
"Zero, let Xuannv No. 1 self-destruct."
"At the same time, transfer the position signal to Xuannv No. 2."
"Received!"
After hearing Zero's response, Lv Yongchang slowly closed his eyes.
Before he closed his eyes, a dazzling white light flashed in the holographic projection.
Xuannv No. 1, in the extremely high-yield plasma bomb, turned into ashes.
Several detectors that had just approached were affected by the aftermath of the explosion, and their armor was instantly penetrated by the high-temperature plasma flow.
...
Inside the flagship of the "Little Gray Man".
A shrill alarm sounded.
The little gray man at the top glanced at the screen in front of him indifferently.
"It's really a bait."
"Forget it, it's just a few worthless detectors, so let's destroy them."
As he said, the little gray man cast his eyes on the holographic projection on the side.
Over there, there was another set of images sent back by the probes that were moving along the original route.
In the picture, the square Xuannv II was quietly traveling in the void of the universe.
But strangely, there was no starship next to this Xuannv II.
The little gray man looked a little ugly, but his expression was still calm: "It's still a smart civilization."
"Prepare to release all the probes."
"They can't run away..."
Before he finished speaking, another alarm sounded.
Hearing this familiar alarm, the little gray man was stunned.
It turned its head sharply and looked at the screen on the side.
When it saw the new signal source, it finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"What's going on?!"
"Why is there another signal?!"
"Technician!"
"Come here! Pull the technician over to me!"
The sharp voice of the little gray man's command sounded in the flagship!
...
A few minutes later.
A little gray man with increasingly weak limbs came to the commander with humorous steps.
"Technician!"
"Tell me, why are there two signal sources?!"
The little gray commander asked the technician in front of him in an angry tone: "How did you do the maintenance work?!"
It subconsciously thought that the long-distance communication device in the detector had a problem.
The reason is also very simple.
After so many interstellar wars, the detector was captured from time to time.
But whether it was facing a third-level civilization or a broken fourth-level civilization, it had never encountered such a situation!
It's too weird!
A detector actually sent out signals from two different locations one after another!
The technician responded tremblingly: "Commander, I, I need a little time."
"Hurry up!" The little gray commander's tone became more and more impatient, "Give you ten minutes."
"If you can't find the reason, you'll be ready to become a space junk!"
The technician trembled violently and responded repeatedly: "I, I'll try my best, I'll try my best!"
After that, it turned and ran out of the command hall.
At this moment, it already had a terrifying guess in its heart.
But this guess requires it to go to the isolation room for confirmation.
…
The Little Gray Flagship, Physical Isolation Room.
It frantically found the "mother" long-distance communication device of the captured detector according to the number.
Then, it squatted down, knelt in front of the control device, and reached out to open the protective shell of the control device.
The technician's hands trembled slightly, and connected the maintenance terminal placed aside to the control device.
Like the long-distance communication equipment, the maintenance terminal is also in a physical isolation state, eliminating all possibilities of external intrusion.
It quickly tapped its weak fingers, trying to find the cause of the signal source disorder.
But...
After trying everything, it showed deep doubts in its eyes.
Everything is normal?
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down its forehead.
At this time, everything is normal is the biggest abnormality!
Thinking of the conjecture that just emerged in his mind, a layer of fine and dense cold sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Little Gray technician!
Just when it was at a loss, the commanding shout came from the loudspeaker outside the isolation room.
"Technician!"
"Technician, come here!"
...
Inside the command center.
Shortly after the technician left, another alarm sounded.
The little gray commander glanced at the screen and his face became a little ugly.
Another self-destructing bait.
This explosion destroyed five detectors.
Although the detectors are not worth much, such behavior is tantamount to dancing on its nerve endings!
"This damn bug..." It clenched its thin fists and said viciously.
...
The technician took another humorous step and came to the command center.
The "large amount" of exercise, coupled with the extremely frightened mood, made its gray skin pale.
"Technician!" The commander's sharp voice sounded again, "Have you found the reason?!"
Faced with the questioning, the technician's facial skin looked particularly pale.
It hurriedly shook its head: "Not yet."
Seeing the cold light in the commander's eyes gradually become stronger, the technician hurriedly shouted again: "But I have a guess!"
"Tell me."
The technician hesitated for a moment and slowly said: "I, I suspect that our long-distance communication device has been invaded by the enemy."
“…”
There was silence in the command center.
The technician subconsciously looked up.
When he saw the commander's eyes that looked like he was looking at an inorganic object, he shuddered.
“Invasion?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“I asked you, have you found evidence?”
The technician was silent.
The commander got the answer from the technician's reaction.
A hideous sneer appeared on his face: “Is this the answer you gave me?”
“Without any evidence, just your mouth?”
“Let’s not talk about evidence first, do you think that a mere level 2 civilization can do this?”
“Don’t forget, the level 4 civilization didn’t succeed in cracking our long-distance communication device!”
In the face of doubts and ridicule, the technician remained silent.
“Hehe, you can prepare to become a space junk.” The commander decided its life or death expressionlessly.
Facing the crisis of life and death, the technician trembled like a sieve.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to its mind: "Commander!"
"Please send some probes to the source of the signal to investigate!"
"There must be a similar starship over there!"
"This is the evidence that the long-distance communication device has been invaded!"
The little gray man sitting in the first seat stared straight at the pale technician in front of him and nodded slowly.
"Okay!"
"Send the nearest group of probes to the source of the signal to see what is going on!"
"If not, you should know what will happen to you!"
