#680 - Chapter 680 Kowloon Club
“Team 1 and Team 2, listen up! Proceed immediately to the vicinity of area 0735 and eliminate any unidentified objects that appear,” Zhang Yuan Kui commanded.
“Team 1, roger.”
“Team 2, roger.”
Teams 1 and 2, each consisting of 200 soldiers, took off and flew towards area 0735.
In the border area between regions 0734 and 0735, a large number of unidentified objects drilled out of the ground and scurried in all directions.
This area is located on the far side of the moon.
Now that the full moon is approaching, most of the far side is in complete darkness.
After scanning with infrared thermal imagers, these unidentified objects showed thermal radiation, making it highly likely that they are living beings.
They resemble enlarged versions of bacteriophages.
The bottom consists of six thin claws used to support the body and move.
The body extends vertically upwards.
The head has a crystal-like object that could be eyes or a weapon.
The size is only 10 centimeters tall, classifying them as small creatures.
“Could these be silicon-based lifeforms?” Old Qin watched the live feed on the large screen.
“It’s hard to say. We need to capture a sample for further analysis. They could be biomimetic machines or silicon-based lifeforms,” Dongfang Chen said.
Their behavior is very similar to ants, marching in a long line as a team.
“Swish~”
“Chirp chirp chirp~”
After arriving at the scene, the soldiers of the two teams immediately began attacking.
The strength of a Tier 9 late-stage future warrior is formidable. Some are skilled with knives, while others excel with guns.
Fortunately, Dongfang Chen fully considered the use of abilities during the design of the new space mecha.
Therefore, after a period of training, they have become proficient in using their abilities by operating the mecha.
Watching them fight is like watching a group of steel warriors with superpowers.
Soon, the test results came out.
Based on the component analysis, these creatures were confirmed to be silicon-based lifeforms.
Dongfang Chen named this creature: Silicon-based Giant Phage.
The defense of this silicon-based Giant Phage doesn't seem to be very strong. The auxiliary laser weapons on the mecha alone can directly destroy them.
“Chirp chirp chirp~”
“Chirp chirp chirp~”
400 soldiers surrounded and intercepted them from all directions, completely trapping them in the middle. The high-frequency laser beams emitted a series of red lights in this area.
An hour later, no new Giant Phages appeared, and the battle ended.
Their corpses were scattered everywhere on the ground.
“These silicon-based creatures seem pretty ordinary,” Old Qin said.
“The results of further analysis have just come out. Based on their structure, they don't have any offensive capabilities. I infer that their function should be reconnaissance,” Dongfang Chen explained.
“No wonder,” Old Qin nodded.
If the function of these Giant Phages is reconnaissance, it means that the survivors have discovered that the signal has been cut off.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon send out more powerful creatures.
Zhang Yuan Kui ordered that vigilance must be increased to prevent unexpected situations from occurring.
The remaining task is to build the lunar command center and begin formulating a battle plan.
Blue Star.
The emergence of tens of millions of Tier 9 cultivators within China has led to tremendous changes in the domestic landscape.
Because the Mouni Sect-controlled bases were not open, they did not inject the gene potion "Immortal Water" in the beginning, so their strength is very low. On the other hand, in the open bases, cultivation is prevalent. Various sects, organizations, and associations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, vying for prominence.
For management needs, the temporary command centers of each base issued public security announcements very early on, prohibiting private fights. In addition, each organization has high-level cultivators in charge, so the overall situation is basically stable. Small-scale conflicts occur from time to time, but large-scale conflicts have hardly occurred.
In order to provide everyone with a fair arena, many martial arts halls have been built inside the base. If people have disputes, they can be resolved on stage, and they are responsible for their own life and death.
Under a series of policies and governance, the overall situation in China is stable.
However, beneath this peace and harmony, multiple undercurrents are surging.
The first major force is the Nine Dragons Association, composed of members of the Mouni Sect.
This is a gang formed by nine relatively strong Tier 8 mutants of the Mouni Sect. Behind it is a coalition of more than a hundred closed bases with strong strength.
The strength mentioned here mainly refers to financial resources.
More than one hundred bases originally accounted for almost half of the crystal nucleus production capacity of China. In addition, there are now many cultivators in the open bases, and the labor force has been greatly reduced.
With this rise and fall, the Nine Dragons Association has monopolized 90% of the crystal nucleus output.
This is already terrifying, so the influence of the Nine Dragons Association can be described as being at its zenith.
But having crystal nuclei without strength means becoming livestock.
So they changed a set of business strategies: recruiting a large number of cultivators within China, regardless of their level, and accepting them all.
