Chapter 3077: Harvesting the planet (1)
Translator: 549690339
“What’s going on?”
Someone from the Bastion’s upper echelon asked.
They didn’t communicate through words, but through thoughts.
Just like a mobile phone, the content and images of what was to be said were directly transmitted through information currents.
They could ignore the limitations of distance and communicate at will, regardless of whether they were standing in front of him or far away.
Of course, there were some restrictions to this kind of communication, just like mobile phone numbers.
“The defense system has detected a suspicious and dangerous target. Patrol ship 571 has accepted its fate and is heading to harvest planet for reconnaissance.
Not long ago, the patrol ship had unexpectedly cut off communications. There had been no response since.
According to the data analysis, the patrol ship has been destroyed. Locking on the last location of the signal source.”
As the operator replied, he had already locked onto the target, which was located in a huge Rift Valley.
From its appearance, one could tell that the Rift Valley was not naturally formed, but had been violently destroyed by a powerful weapon.
At the edge of the rift, there were many crystallized shells, which proved that this place had once been burned at high temperatures.
Similar traces could be said to be everywhere.
The surveillance image continued to Zoom in and went deep into the rift Valley, but it was soon blocked by protruding rocks.
All kinds of detection equipment were used, but the effect was minimal, or there was no response at all.
the location of the patrol ship’s accident belongs to the area of spiritual energy entanglement outbreak. The equipment can’t detect it normally at all.
Initial suspicion is that the patrol ship has been attacked by the natives. It is recommended to send Reapers deep into the rift Valley to investigate.”
After a series of analysis, the operator gave a suggestion.
“I agree.”
After the brief exchange, ten strange-looking spacecraft slowly flew out of the bastion.
They were like large mosquitos, lining up in space.
It didn’t take long for the spacecraft to approach the destroyed planet and head straight for the deep Rift.
When they got closer to the ground, they realized that the geographical environment here was far more complicated than they had imagined.
After the brutal destruction of the bastions, the entire planet had been abandoned. There was nothing left intact.
The original plants and trees had long turned into ashes.
If one observed carefully, they would find that this terrifying crack actually crossed through the center of a city.
The city had been reduced to ruins. The colors and patterns left behind by the dilapidated walls were a record of the prosperity that had once existed here.
Through the data analysis, it could be confirmed that the patrol ship had crashed near the Rift Valley.
It was very likely that he had fallen into the abyss at the bottom of the crack, otherwise he would have been seen long ago.
“Let’s enter the crack and continue our investigation.”
The Reapers were like a swarm of bees. They had a special thinking system. Not only could they carry out tasks alone, but they could also fight in groups.
When acting alone, the harvesters will activate their independent thinking mode. When acting in a group, they will activate the group thinking network.
The advantage of such a network was that it allowed the participants to form a whole, which would double the reaction speed and combat efficiency.
Following the mainframe’s orders, the ten Reapers flew into the crack one by one and dived into the depths of the earth.
Along the way, he could see reflections of melted rock crystals that filled the
two sides of the Rift Valley.
After going a certain distance, darkness enveloped the surroundings, and it was almost impossible to see their own fingers.
At this time, the Reapers would activate the lighting equipment and light up the surroundings as if it was daytime.
Most of the time, the Reapers would use more advanced detection methods, such as a spirit scan.
This kind of scanning method was done by the Reapers ‘half-Bionic brain, which was far more accurate than seeing, hearing, or smelling.
However, if he could find a way to counter it and shield himself from the psyche scan, it would lead to an extremely awkward situation.
The target was clearly in front of him, but because it was shielded from psychic scanning, the Reaper could not find it at all.
In this case, the perception methods of normal creatures such as sight and smell could come in handy.
&Nbsp; this was the strength of the Reapers. They had more than ten different perception methods and could fight normally in any environment.
However, there was a chaotic magnetic field of spiritual energy deep inside the crack that could block the scanning of mental power.
&Nbsp; through visual and infrared scanning, the Reapers ‘descent was rather smooth and they did not encounter any unexpected situations.
After some time, a Reaper noticed something unusual.
On a platform protruding from the crack, a one-kilometer-long patrol ship was lying on the ground. Its engine was already out.
Through the appearance analysis, they were confirmed to be the search target.
The ten Reapers slowly approached and scanned the patrol ship to confirm if there were any survivors.
In the end, there were no signs of life. The operator had disappeared without a trace, and the patrol ship had been severely damaged.
[ Reaper completed the record and continued to search and track in an attempt to obtain more clues. ]
Compared to the surface, the psionic energy at the core was even more chaotic, and it had already severely affected the operation of the Reapers ‘equipment.
Fortunately, even if the combat equipment was turned off, the Reapers could still move normally. They were special weapons made for war and slaughter.
&Nbsp; very quickly, a Reaper noticed that there was a narrow crack on the rock wall.
&Nbsp; compared to the Reapers ‘size, this gap was a little narrow. If it was a native, they would be able to pass through easily.
&Nbsp; in the end, the Reaper’s body suddenly changed and quickly melted.
It didn’t disappear, but it was changing its appearance at an extremely fast speed.
In a short period of time, the Reaper’s appearance had become the same as the natives, but it had a huge Python-like tail behind it.
The originally bloated and huge body had all been transferred to the tail, allowing the Reaper to easily pass through the crack.
If necessary, the harvesters ‘bodies could be flattened or increased in height to adapt to various environmental requirements.
As the body transformation was completed, the Reapers entered the crack and continued to move forward.
Through the traces left behind along the way, collecting all kinds of pheromones, the harvesters had confirmed one thing.
A group of surviving natives had captured and kidnapped the operators of the patrol ship and entered the depths of the crack.
It was normal for there to be survivors, as this was a planet with a cultivation civilization.
On such a planet, it was common for powerful indigenous residents to appear, or for them to possess all sorts of defensive measures.
He’d managed to survive the Bastion’s attacks.
The Reapers “mission was to clear out the survivors and ensure the bastions” harvest of the planet was not affected.
But the question was, what did the survivors do to destroy the powerful patrol Ship?
&Nbsp; with a lot of doubt, the Reapers continued to move forward, only to find that the crack was too deep.
Even after advancing ten kilometers, they still did not reach the end. Instead, they detected chaotic and violent spiritual waves.
Through continuous entanglement and condensation, these violent spiritual waves could produce a special energy crystal.
Such special spiritual waves would only appear when a disaster broke out. The more serious the disaster, the stronger the spiritual waves.
That was why bastions roamed the universe in search of planets with abundant energy and launched destructive attacks.
It was like a well-stirred syrup that had to be thrown in with a cotton thread before it could condense into pure crystal sugar..
