Chapter 172: Sweep

Chapter 172 Sweeping

After the equipment arrived, I immediately ordered all units to be divided into groups. The advantage of this is that we can cooperate with each other to deal with some larger creatures. After all, we don’t know what’s going on in the forest. Something else.

After arranging the team, I directed several data command vehicles next to us to park beside us, then set up the monitors inside and other things outside, and connected all the visual synchronization signals of each of our little ancestors into the picture. After completing these tasks, I called Fayana to my side. "You have also seen the current situation. This is our country, and we are the army here."

Faiana nodded. "I can see it. You are not only well-trained, but also very powerful. We also have human countries there, but no army has such terrifying combat power as yours. Are all the ordinary people here like sword masters and holy magicians? A first-level existence?”

"I don't know what level of sword master or holy magician you are talking about, but I know that you must have overestimated the ordinary people here. To tell you the truth, we here belong to the special forces. We can be said to be improved. Special humans are very different from real humans. Although we look similar, we are actually much stronger than ordinary people. So they are very vulnerable when facing alien creatures like you. It's better for someone like you who understands the truth and is willing to cooperate. If we encounter those brainless monsters or those with bad tempers like Lie Huo, once they are allowed to enter the civilian population, they will inevitably cause heavy casualties, so we cannot let them leave here. "

"So what do you need me to do?" Fayana knew that I must have something to ask her for help when I called her here.

I pointed to the row of monitor screens next to me. "These things can synchronize the pictures seen by our soldiers, but we have no idea about the creatures there. We have a saying here that you can fight a hundred battles if you know yourself and the enemy, which means that as long as you can fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of yourself and the enemy, And give full play to your own strengths to restrain the opponent's shortcomings, you can win every battle and never fail. So I need you to look at these things here now. Once any creature appears, you must tell us immediately about this creature. Characteristics, whether it is offensive, what special abilities it has, where its weaknesses are, and other information you think is important."

"This is simple." Fayana said proudly: "We silver dragons are very knowledgeable. We can accurately identify at least 95% of the Warcraft on the mainland. The remaining half that we don't recognize are mostly new mutations. bodies or some insignificant low-level biological branches."

"That's good. Don't worry, we will give you the reward you want after this incident is resolved."

Although Fayana doesn't know what we can give, she doesn't care about it anyway. She just wants to have a good relationship with us. After all, as a magical dragon with extremely advanced intelligence, Fayana has already seen that our group of people have great rights here, and it is absolutely necessary to establish a good relationship with the local ruler first in an environment that she does not understand. No harm.

After getting Fayana's confirmation, we also prepared a temporary communicator for her. Because we couldn't find the size of her big head, we had to glue two ***-type microphones and electronic speakers directly with universal glue. Fayana's ears and mouth, this will at least make it easier for us to maintain communication with her.

After finishing the command post here, I sent my dad and the others to another temporary command post outside the base. This place is far away from the forest. If another monster rushes out, at least we have time to escape. After making sure that everything was alright outside, I started to search into the forest with my magic pets and the Ring Knight.

Our plan is actually very simple, enter from one side of the forest, and then use our electromagnetic induction ability to search for all nearby creatures. Bioelectricity exists in the creatures in this world, including plants, and judging from the newly captured creatures, the creatures in this forest also have similar characteristics, so we can use the biomagnetic field generated by bioelectricity to accurately lock each individual Only the location of the creature. The next work is relatively simple. As long as we drive these creatures one by one to the prepared capture field outside the forest, we can easily capture them.

After carefully going deep into the forest, we began to move towards the location of the nearest bioelectrical signal.

"This is No. 1. How is the situation ahead?" I asked in the battlefield network composed of electronic brains.

"This is No. 2. No problems have been found so far."

"This is No. 3, everything is normal now."

"Attention, all queues, the target is not far ahead. Watch your steps and don't disturb it."

"clear."

In complete silence, dozens of us surrounded us from all directions, with Yeyue walking at the front. Just before entering the forest, Nuwa sent Yeyue's original body, which was the body with a human body and a snake's tail. The body shape of this body is much larger than that of a human body, so the relative energy index is also much higher. It is perfect for her to take the lead. Xiaobai and Bailang, who already had a physical body, followed Yeyue closely on the left and right. Their wolf-shaped bodies were also quite flexible in the dense forest. However, compared to us humanoid dragon members, the weapon backpacks on their wolf-shaped bodies are significantly larger, so their weapons are also larger than ours. If they encounter a monster that is difficult to deal with, the two of them will Be responsible for clearing the target for us.

Yeyue, who was dragging a long and big tail, used her flexible body to circle around the tree trunk and soon reached the area near the creature. Then she suddenly turned around and gestured to us to stop moving. Everyone around her Everyone seemed to be frozen in place for a moment, and we didn't dare to move forward until Yeyue made a gesture to move forward cautiously.

After finally moving under the trees, I carefully pushed aside the weeds in front of me. The creature that had been locked by our electromagnetic induction for a long time finally revealed its true face in Lushan.

It was a large animal, about 1.8 meters tall and more than three meters long. Its back was very high, and its head looked like a pig's head, but there was no 'hair' on its body. Instead, there were several pieces of carapace with a whole structure. It looks like a cross between an armadillo and a wild boar. This thing didn't seem to notice us when we arrived nearby, because it was busy eating grass and seemed to be very proud of it.

Fayana was very conscientious and immediately provided us with information and guidance. "This is a heavily armored pig, a docile herbivorous animal. It is not a magical beast, but it is very strong. In some areas, humans raise it as livestock. It can also be used to pull carts and work. But to be honest, it is The flesh of this creature is unpalatable.”

"Damn, we climbed cautiously for a long time before we dared to get close, and it turned out to be just an alien version of a cow!" A bell knight couldn't help complaining, but Scott glared at him and silenced him.

"How do we get it out?" I asked on the communicator.

"Wild heavily armored pigs are somewhat aggressive, but their ears are their weak point. As long as you grab its ears, it won't dare to struggle."

"It's just a pig!" The two bell knights quickly jumped out of the grass according to the prompts, and then grabbed the guy's big ears one on the left and one on the right. The result was just as Fayana said. Although the heavily armored pig kept barking, it really didn't dare to move after its ears were pinched. As a result, we were led out of the forest.

After the first experience, we began to realize that we couldn’t catch them one by one, so we started to spread out. Everyone acted alone, carefully approaching the target first, and then Fayana provided the monster information. If there was no danger, one People can handle it, and if something difficult comes up, just wait for reinforcements. This kind of distribution has indeed greatly improved work efficiency. There are really many creatures in this forest, but more than 60% of them are ordinary creatures that are not dangerous, and 20% of the remaining 30% of creatures are one Ordinary World of Warcraft that humans can handle, except for a large group of golden monkeys that kept us busy for a while, we basically didn't encounter anything dangerous. However, this situation began to become abnormal as the night fell, because we found that the captured creatures seemed to appear on the outskirts of the forest, and they did not seem to be discovered by us, but they took the initiative to run out.

"Faiana."

"I'm listening."

"Can you feel anything?" I asked: "Why do I feel that the creatures here are constantly running to the outside? Many new low-level creatures have appeared in many areas we have just cleared!"

Fayana thought for a moment and then said: "Usually when encountering this kind of situation, there are relatively powerful beings in the middle of the forest. But since these low-level creatures can escape, I think those powerful creatures should have discovered you."

"Why?"

"Only when a monster detects danger, it will first expel the weak creatures around it. That creature drove out these weak monsters and ordinary creatures, which shows that he feels danger."

Ling suddenly said: "The danger may not come from us. Maybe there is more than one powerful monster in the forest. Maybe they discovered each other?"

"There is also this possibility." Fayana said: "But you'd better be careful. At least now you can be sure that there is at least one strong guy in the central area of ​​the forest."

"Okay, we got it."

We didn't take Fayana's reminder to heart, because according to Fayana, their dragons are already top-notch creatures. Since we can even bring down giant dragons, what can other creatures do no matter how powerful they are?

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the high-level creature inside to expel the low-level creatures, we collected a large group of various strange creatures. Later, the shipping truck sent by the base didn't even have time to transport them, so we could only temporarily 'sex' some of the captured creatures. Put them outside the forest. After all, the creatures after anesthesia are very honest. Just monitor their brain waves at all times and add more anesthetic medicine if they find they have a tendency to wake up.

With the help of a large circle of temporary lighting equipment, the entire periphery of the forest was illuminated by bright lights. The creatures inside could not even hope to see the people behind the lights through the bright lights. However, although these lights provided everyone with Lighting, however, caused unexpected trouble. At first when it got dark, we didn't even think of lighting a lamp. After all, we dragons all have night vision, so it doesn't matter whether we have a lamp or not. However, the researchers who came later needed to transport the biological specimens we caught. , so we must provide them with lighting, but if we turn on the light in this place in the middle of the night, it will easily attract monsters, so we surrounded the entire forest with lights. This method was originally used to deal with criminals. Once the police corner the criminals in a certain building, they like to light up a circle of headlights so that nothing can be seen inside. In this way, even if the criminals have guns, they cannot see the target. If you shoot 'randomly', hitting the target will become a problem. But now we are not dealing with criminals, but a large group of alien creatures. Although the light will make the large creatures hide away because they hate the bright light, it also attracts another kind of thing.

"Bang." With a not too loud noise, a crustacean insect as big as a pigeon suddenly landed on one of the bright lights.

"Report." I was resting outside the forest at the time. After all, catching so many animals cost a lot of money. Suddenly the call of soldiers rang out on the communication channel.

"what's the situation?"

"We don't know what to say about this. You'd better see for yourself!" The soldier directly synchronized his visual signal to me. This is the benefit of the Dragon Clan. As long as one person sees it, everyone has seen it.

I was also startled when I saw the bugs flying all over the sky through the eyes of the dragon soldier. Not only were these bugs extremely large, but they were all very ferocious in appearance. At first glance, I couldn't help but want to kill them before I could rest assured.

"When did these bugs start gathering here?"

"Just a few minutes after we turned on the lights. What should we do?"

"Don't get close to them yet. Everyone stay away from the lights. We will find a solution immediately." After telling the people below to pay attention to safety, I quickly reported the situation to Nuwa, but Nuwa's first reaction was not how to deal with these bugs. , but first airlifted more than 300 Protectors over.

The Protector is one of the special large-scale biological chariots of our Dragon Clan. It looks like a white ball with arthropod-like legs underneath, which can move freely. Unlike ordinary chariots, the protector is actually an independent creature, but its intelligence is not complete. This guy has a human-like brain, can think, and has quite high intelligence, but it has no subjective consciousness at all, which means that if there is no order, it will be completely still. Not only will it not move, but its brain will also completely stop functioning. , basically just like being in a daze. There is a semi-mechanical core inside the protector, which is actually the cockpit. Dragon clan members can get into this core and command the protector to move, defend or attack. The protector has no extra limbs for attacking. Its main body, the big white ball, is actually a huge electromagnetic controller. Through this thing, it can generate an extremely strong biological electromagnetic force field. Not only can it This force field forms a protective shield, and you can also use it to attack, but this time we mainly need its protective shield.

Because she had obtained so many large biological specimens in succession before, even Nuwa had neglected something, which was the problem of ecosystem leakage in the forest. Alien creatures are alien species to the earth, just like water hyacinths that grow in the north become disastrous species in the south. It is difficult to guarantee that these ordinary creatures living on alien planets will not become something terrifying when they arrive on the earth. existence, so generally speaking we should try to avoid alien creatures from directly contacting the earth's ecosystem. However, due to previous negligence, we all forgot about it. As a result, we didn't remember it until we saw these big bugs. There are a lot of things we don't notice that could be more dangerous than the big guys.

More than 300 Protectors, which were urgently airlifted over in ten minutes, formed a huge shielding barrier. This powerful barrier composed of biological force fields was like a glass cover that completely isolated the forest from the outside world. Come, so as long as nothing harmful comes out during the previous period, we don't have to worry about it in the future.

After the isolation of the protective shield was completed, we opened a small door on the protective shield, and then my pets and I walked in with several fully armed scientific researchers. At the same time that we entered the protective shield, a temporary isolation research institute was being built outside the protective shield. The biological specimens we brought out later must be sent here for classification and inspection before they can be considered for sending elsewhere.

Inside the protective cover, we cautiously approached the nearest strong light stand. A researcher who was following us suggested that we do a stress response test first, so we stopped first. I first asked Fayana to help identify these bugs, but Fayana said that she had not studied bugs at all, and had never paid attention to them except for a few monster-level bugs that she could recognize.

Fayana was of no use and we had to do it ourselves. According to the scientific researcher's suggestion, we brought in a small operating robot from outside. This thing is actually a remote control car with several mechanical arms installed. With the powerful radio control capabilities of our electronic brain, we can even save the remote control.

The strange-looking small robot first slowly moved under the light stand, then the workbench began to rise slowly, and finally stopped after rising to a height of more than one meter. The robotic arm on the workbench slowly unfolded under our remote control, and then grabbed a makeshift alloy cage and slowly covered it towards a large insect that was clinging to the lamp. Contrary to what we thought, the bug did not show any intention of escaping, and was put directly into the cage. Then the robot used another mechanical arm to carefully close the cage and lift it away from the light. The insect was very docile when it was first put into the cage, but it stopped as soon as it was lifted up. The insect, which was as big as a small watermelon, vibrated its wings in the cage and began to fly around. The metal cage, which was not big, was knocked around. The working robot was not meant to do hard work. That small machine The arm strength was too weak to hold on to the cage, and as a result, the cage was carried flying by it. But what we really care about is not the caught bug, but the other bugs around it.

Insects are different from ordinary large creatures. A single insect is actually very easy to deal with. Even the black widow, which is recognized as the world's top poisonous insect, is easy to deal with as long as it can be discovered in advance. What we are really afraid of is that this thing is like a bee. It is easy to crush a bee to death, but if its companions discover your behavior, then you have to be careful. Maybe the whole swarm will chase after you. You launch an attack. At that time, even if you hold a submachine gun, you have only one way to escape. The smallest of these bugs here is as big as an adult woman's fist, and the big ones can grow to the size of a big rooster. If we catch one of them, and the remaining bugs attack us like crazy, it will be terrible. It's not fun anymore.

Fortunately, the bug flew in the sky with the cage for a while and then lost its strength and fell to the ground. Then we controlled a robot to pull the cage back. But this experiment was not over yet. After the cage was pulled back, we manipulated the robot to pull out a long needle from its body and then 'insert' it into the bug in the cage. We wanted to see the death of our companions. Will it arouse the fighting mood of these bugs? It turns out that these bugs are no different from the bugs we have around the lamps in the summer, except that they are several times bigger. The caught bug was pricked with steel needles by the robot more than a dozen times before it was completely dead. Then we asked the robot to take it out and dismember it into several pieces on the spot. However, the nearby bugs still did what they were supposed to do. , they are not interested at all in the death of their own kind.

It was easy to deal with after confirming that these bugs were not harmful. We directly took a large zipper and opened it under the lamp. Then another person took a liquid nitrogen sprayer and sprayed it randomly into the air in front of the lamp. The low-temperature nitrogen instantly Dozens of bugs were frozen into ice cubes and dropped into the water. Then the researchers who came with us quickly picked up the bugs one by one with special clips and stored them in special containers. Catching bugs in this way is extremely fast. Those bugs have no brains at all. Seeing what happened to our companions, they still flocked to the lamp in front of us, and one group died and another came again. We sprayed for a long time and nothing happened. There are signs of fewer insects. At first, the researchers carefully packed the worms into the jars like treasures. Later, they found that there were too many, so they simply didn’t pay much attention and just took the large freezer and poured the piles of worms into it. And sometimes when you find that you have caught too many of a certain type, you just throw them aside and crush them with a foot. It is really different from the way you treat bugs as treasures at the beginning.

After catching so many bugs, the researchers probably felt that there was no need to catch any more bugs, so we began to adopt a more exaggerated capture method, directly using special nerve gas to instantly knock down all the bugs near the lighting equipment. Then the guard team from outside will come in and put all the dead bugs into a large cryogenic box and remove them all at once.

After solving the bug problem, we started to protect the scientific researchers and started other tasks. Although we were so excited by those large creatures before that we forgot the general rules, but now we are about to remember that we must finish them all. But this time the work is relatively simple. We first followed the researchers' instructions to collect soil samples at different depths at several specific locations in the forest, and then collected several liters of liquid samples from a small puddle in the forest. After collecting these things, the scientific researchers actually asked us to collect plant specimens, and finally asked us to take back a piece of unknown poop we saw on the road.

After collecting all kinds of small plants, the researchers became interested in the big trees. There was no other way, this time even big guys like Lucky and the others were roped in to work as coolies. Cut down all the trees near the selected representative trees, then dig out the large chunks of soil under the target trees, and finally wrap the entire tree with a special sealing film Got up and transported them back to the base.

Although the things we collected look very ordinary, according to the scientific researchers, these things can comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the local ecosystem, so nothing is missing. Of course, the most important thing is those higher-level creatures. After all, they are not small in size and are more likely to be weaponized. Long Yuan is also a military-industrial complex, so it is naturally very interested in these naturally grown biological weapons.

It was already dawn the next day after we had collected all these messy things, but we couldn't rest because there were still one or two big guys in the middle of the forest that hadn't been found yet. We wouldn't dare to do so until we took care of these potential threats. leave.

After arranging the security work outside, I led the team and began to attack the depths of the forest. My mood now can be said to be very contradictory. On the one hand, I hope not to encounter too powerful monsters, otherwise the mission may become very dangerous. On the other hand, I hope to encounter stronger monsters, because that monster The more powerful it is, the more valuable we can get from it.

We divided into several small teams in the forest, and then carefully approached the target area. In addition to building electromagnetic barriers, the protectors outside the forest also have a function, which is detection. With the feedback information they send back, we can easily locate the locations of the creatures in the forest. However, in the end we scanned The results are rather surprising. There is not only one creature in the center of the forest, but a group of monsters.

"Why are there six?" I looked at the data sent back in my mind in surprise. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The dragon soldier who acted as the protector immediately replied: "There is absolutely no mistake. We can even see the magnetic field forms of those creatures here. One of them resembles some kind of bird, one resembles a spider, and one walks semi-upright. Of the remaining three animals, two are quadrupeds, and the last one is a very small thing. From our point of view, we can only see a fuzzy energy mass."

Since the protector has even scanned the opponent's general shape, it should be correct. However, Fayana said at first that there were at most two monsters in the forest, but now there are suddenly so many more. Our original plan was completely different. Not suitable for such a scene.

After thinking for a while, I gave the order: "Everyone is on alert. Yeyue, Ling, and Wei Na come close to me to check the situation."

"clear."

The four of us carefully followed the animal trails in the forest and approached the core area of ​​the forest. Now, let alone Warcraft, not even a single insect could be seen here. When we finally arrived at the central area, we found that it was not a dense forest, but a large clearing. However, this was not an ordinary forest clearing, but one that had just been cleared. There had obviously just been a big battle at the scene. The surrounding ground was full of fallen and broken towering trees and fragmented pieces of flesh that had been blown up. Obviously, there were not only a few monsters here before, but there should also be a very big monster. Or maybe a group of little monsters had a scuffle here, because the pile of minced meat on the ground is definitely bigger than a whale. If they all come from one creature, then this must be a big guy.

"It looks like these six monsters are all injured." Ling reminded me in my mind.

I nodded. The situation on the field can now be said to be clear at a glance. The energy pattern scanned by the protector before was very accurate, and the six creatures at the scene were indeed similar to the scanned results. There was a huge khaki-colored spider standing closest to us, but because its butt was bigger than its head, we couldn't see its frontal image at all. We only knew that this thing was definitely ugly. A little to the left of the spider stood a large bird covered with emerald green feathers. Although this bird did not look ferocious, the red blood on the tip of its beak showed that it was The image and its behavior are not very reliable. A little further past the Green Bird is the upright-walking monster. However, unlike what I thought before, this monster does not look like a mammal. Instead, it looks like a large lizard that walks upright. But this guy It weighs at least more than ten tons, and standing there is about the same as a small high-rise residential building. The creature on the other side of the lizard monster is a creature somewhat similar to a cat. It seems to be very cute, and it has snow-white hair with only a black cross between its eyebrows. If this guy could be shrunk thousands of times to the point where he could be kept as a house cat, but at his current size, even King Kong in the American movie would have to run for his life if he encountered it. Next to the big cat, there is a giant beast with hair all over its body, but this thing seems a bit incongruous standing with the cat, because this creature looks like a giant mouse. The last and smallest creature is not too far to our right. If we hadn't relied on electromagnetic induction to confirm its position, we would have almost ignored it. The little thing was squatting on the trunk of a fallen tree. This guy has golden fur, a big belly, and a big tail that is much longer than his body. At first glance, he looks like a fat squirrel, but this guy The little thing can confront five other giant creatures, so its strength may not be that simple.

"Fayana. Have you seen the picture? Please tell us what these are?"

Fayana seemed confused by the picture. It wasn't until I urged her again that she hurriedly replied: "Don't expose your target first. These are not ordinary goods. That big guy in front of you It's a human-faced spider. The adult body can even kill a lone dragon in a sneak attack. Its carapace is very hard, and ordinary attacks are useless. Its weak point is its abdomen, which is the part facing you now. , this place is very soft and easy to get injured. But these guys usually hide in caves and only face the enemy head-on. I don’t know how they climbed out today!"

"Okay, I understand this. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"This... the human-faced spiders can spray venom. Their venom is corrosive, and it will be very painful if you touch it. They also have a silk sac on their buttocks that they can spray out. There is a lot of white silk, and once it gets stuck, it will be difficult to pull it off. By the way, the jumping ability of the human-faced spider is also very strong. In addition, they are also very fast. It is best not to think too much about it. It is bulky, otherwise you will suffer a loss. The green one next to the human-faced spider is a jasper bird. It usually does not attack people, but the creatures here seem to be a little abnormal today, so it is best to treat them as if they are aggressive. Think about it. Jasper birds are very fast, especially in the air. Not only do they fly very fast, they are also very flexible. Their feathers can avoid most magic, and they can fly, so ordinary creatures are almost impossible to defeat. it."

"Magic immunity?" I know about magic immunity in the game, but the problem is that now it is in reality. Even if the world where Fayana and the others came from had magic, this is the earth! We still haven't figured out what their magic is, and we haven't even seen any animal here let go of magic except for the fact that Li Huo actually breathed out fire once. So what exactly is the so-called magical immunity of this bird? I really can’t figure it out, so I just don’t think about it for now. So what if it’s immune to magic? At worst, use anti-aircraft missiles to blow it down. I don't believe it can fly faster than a missile. "Okay, let's continue with the introduction."

"Okay. The creature on the side of the Jade Bird is a dragon monster, a species unique to the Demon Continent. It should not appear in this forest. Also, I forgot to tell you, the human-faced spider is not supposed to be in this forest. These creatures only live in desert areas, and no one has ever seen this kind of thing anywhere else before."

I have thought about the situation Fayana mentioned before, but I think this is probably caused by the unstable space swap caused by the accident. Although it appears that the forest has been switched over, it is actually random. Several discontinuous space breakpoints were selected and switched over, so that many creatures that did not belong to this forest were pulled over. But compared to these creatures being thrown to the earth, I am more worried about being thrown to the research institute in the opposite world. According to the statistical results last night, there were 326 people in the entire institute who failed to escape and were all thrown into the opposite space. The chance of survival of these people who were thrown was infinitely close to zero. Think about those monsters. Even we dragons must deal with them carefully. How can the helpless civilians in the research institute rely on to fight these things?
