"Uh...uh! Uh-huh!!"

When Padmé woke up from a deep coma, she found that she was tightly bound and her mouth was choked with a piece of cloth. She could only make a stammering sound. She looked around at the darkness, and then suddenly a figure floating in the air appeared.

The head hit nearly knocked her unconscious again.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." Alex adjusted the searchlight of his space suit to "halo" mode, which finally allowed Padmé to see clearly. "I'll take off the strip of cloth for you, you whisper

Please don't move. We are still in the underground cave."

The strip of cloth strangling her mouth has long become wet, and can only be cut with the deformed blade of the computing stick. The same goes for the "tie" on Padme's body. Watching Alex use the knife to close it to her body

After going back and forth, Padme was nervous and a little excited.

"You were injured and unconscious when you fell, and we had to leave the fall area, so we tied you up. I made an anti-gravity boat. Don't fall off the edge. Although it's not high, it may hurt you again."

Alex quickly introduced the current situation before asking: "How do you feel now?"

"It's not very good, but it's not a big problem." Padme sat up and rubbed her forehead with her fingers. "It hurts here, and there is some pain in the chest and abdomen. Have you checked it for me?"

"Concussion and several broken ribs. My brother has examined you and given you trauma medicine. Disposable nanorobots will help you repair your wounds and promote the healing of bone fractures. Just don't do strenuous activities." Amy controlled the floating sampan.

The board slowly lowered its height, and then turned on the searchlight of his space suit. "We found something strange and are about to check it out. You just stay here and don't cause trouble."

Padme used the lights on the two siblings to look around, and then took a breath of air: "Are we still under the cave? Why don't we get out quickly?"

"When there was a ship, the shields and armor plates were penetrated. Now that there is no ship, are you going to use your body to pick up the basilisk's bone spurs?" Alex shook his head: "You have just woken up from a concussion, so take a good rest first.

Tone. We will take good care of you, don’t worry.”

"Oh..." Padme sat for a while and felt a dull pain under her chest, so she had to lie down again. She tilted her head and watched Alex lengthen the telescopic stick in his hand and push it gently on the ground.

The planks of the ship under her body began to move.

In front of the suspended sampan, a pile of metal fragments caught their attention. The largest and most important piece of milky white debris was ellipsoid-shaped, about five meters in diameter. The lower half was buried by cave vegetation, and the upper half of the debris was still inserted.

There were at least twenty bone spurs on it, which obviously explained the reason for its crash.

Alex docked his boat next to the debris and swept the wreckage with a searchlight. Through the linkage of the visual touch screen and the starship database, he quickly determined the ownership of the wreckage. "This is the Pioneer Probe... Sister, you

Did you see it?"

"Pioneer?" Amy was stunned for a moment, stared for a while, tilted her head ninety degrees to the side, and then matched the wreckage with the equipment in her memory. "Yes, it is indeed the pioneer detector of the composite evolved man.

.Why is it here?"

"Who are you referring to? Is it the Pioneer Detector or the Composite Evolutionary Man?" Alex stretched out his hand to press the detector, confirming that it was stable, and then jumped on it. "Huh... is it possible that it is a device of the Natural Selector?

"

"It's not impossible, but how..." Amy thought for a while and said: "Ike, look at the equipment inside, search for its serial number, and see which Evolver starship factory it belongs to."

The Chosen One must have inherited the pride of the Composite Evolved Person, there will be no disguise on the equipment, and the number should be able to indicate the ownership."

"Okay." Alex bent down, reached out to grab the bone spur, and pulled it out with force. When dismantling the Xiangyun, he discovered the characteristics of the bone spur: once it is shot into the armor plate, it will expand and get stuck on it.

At the same time, it can maintain resonance for a period of time, making the surrounding hard structure crisp. Therefore, the bone spur becomes something like a disassembly handle, which is easier to use than a cutter deformed by a computing stick.

Under the influence of bone spurs and Alex's brute force, the outer shell of the Pioneer detector was quickly opened piece by piece, revealing the electronic equipment inside. The Pioneer detector is loaded with various radars and scanners with rich and powerful functions.

And communication devices, countless parts are stacked densely together, leaving almost no gaps between them. Oh, except for the gaps forcibly created after a trace of bone spurs penetrated...

Some components have been scattered. Just pick out a few pieces from them and use the light to check the numbers. The equipment codes of the Composite Evolutionary Man are regular, first the category, then the factory and production date. The factory codes of all the parts are

Starting with p0a, Amy was very sure that they came from natural selectors, not composite evolved humans.

"The Natural Chosen sent vanguard probes here, but there are no Natural Chosen starships around. So there is no way to know whether they have withdrawn or the main force has not arrived yet." Amy scratched the back of his head, feeling a little nervous.

He looked around: "There are bone spurs here, which means this is still in the basilisk's activity area. We must leave quickly, and Ike will come back."

"Give me a little more time." Alex peeled off the parts of the Pioneer detector and put his hand in. "I have seen the design drawing of this thing. There should be a spare here..."

Before he finished speaking, the Pioneer detector with only half of his head left started. It couldn't be said to be started, but some of the equipment turned on, the body shook, and then fell silent again as if it had taken its last breath.

.However, Alex connected the energy battery that can be used for maintenance. Its power can only start self-checks and activate some electronic equipment. It cannot act on high-energy-consuming systems such as engines, shields, scanning radars, and weapons.

---Start the communication center and search for surrounding signal sources. Found 7 signal sources. Please select the target to connect to.---

What Alex wants is not the engine and shield, but the communication system of the Pioneer detector. The power of the energy battery is enough, but the seven signal sources still surprise him. The mask communicator is one, removed from the Xiangyun.

The communication station that came down was the second. The intercom devices of their two spacesuits were No. 3 and No. 4. Unsurprisingly, Padme also had a communicator on her body, which was No. 5. The Pioneer probe was No. 6, and in the end

A signal source actually came from the ground, pointing towards the grass where the tips of the leaves were always emitting fluorescence.

"The grass is also communicating?" Alex gained a little more strange knowledge. Temporarily suppressing his curiosity, he connected to communication channel No. 6, which meant entering the system of the Pioneer detector.

After a while, he shook his head, disconnected the communication center, and said: "It can't work. This detector has been completely damaged. The communication system cannot send signals and the internal data has been lost. Except for this piece..." He pulled out the detector forcefully.

"This can be used as a backup energy source for the anti-gravity engine, allowing it to fly a little longer."

"Okay, then come up and let's keep walking forward. I remember there is a vertical hole in front of us. You can try flying out to have a look."

"Don't worry, I'll dismantle some things. If you encounter a basilisk, it might be of some use." Alex squatted down at the opening of the detector, pretending to check the equipment, but actually letting the communication center try to connect...

Grass.

---The communication center is deforming and needs to consume 50 units of printing materials. The current reserves meet the requirements.---

About three minutes later, the communication center of the brain-controlled body was deformed and successfully connected to the "Grass Network". In an instant, countless screams and shouts came from all directions, squeezing Alex like a wave and sucking him into the whirlpool of information.

among.

---Enable the communication channel filtering system to filter out heavy and complex sounds.---

The brain control body helped Alex relieve the information pressure in time. After the repetitive noise in the channel was suppressed, the mental pressure was reduced a lot, and the brain could start thinking again. The blades of grass are indeed exchanging information. Its role

It is no different from a signal transmission tower. The fluorescent grasses spaced about five meters apart communicate with each other and an information network is arranged in the underground cave. But who is using this network?

The communication channel was full of screams and shouts, which did not sound like language, and the signal pattern was not encrypted. Alex looked at the fluorescent communication grass, thought of its very regular arrangement pattern, and looked at the

The small insects on the grass blades suddenly had an idea: these grasses may serve the entire ecosystem, and the creatures in each cave are users of the communication network. Those screams and shouts are their communication in the network.

"What can you understand? Do you need to learn various insect languages?" Alex listened to the various voices on the Internet and found that they were very different, even more so than the chaotic evolutionary environment here. There are

There is an idiom called "Chickens speak with ducks", which describes the situation where every two creatures on the Internet have no common language.

"This network is useless, and it can't transmit information." Alex was about to quit the grass network, but he felt something was wrong. Can the transmission of information only rely on written language? Maybe not. And in such a chaotic place, fluorescent signals

Grass can show strict rules, and it will only appear reasonable if it plays a role.

Thinking of this, Alex calmed down and began to listen to the voices on the Internet. Before the emergence of language, some voices could already express consensus information, such as pain, fear, happiness, anxiety... These are all emotions, such as

The language is simple, but it is also a way of communication.

Alex licked his lips and decided to test his idea, so he uploaded his own voice on the Internet: "Hello? Can anyone understand?"

In an instant, the entire network suddenly became quiet, and then a tense mood began to spread. Sure enough, this network transmits information through emotional changes, and all the surrounding creatures became nervous in response to Alex's inquiry.

This change is not only within the network, but also extends to the cave. With the suspended sampan as the center, the surrounding animals and plants almost stopped moving at the same time, lowering their bodies one by one, as if they were trying their best to hide themselves. It was like

Hearing the roar of a nearby tiger, the animals in the forest immediately began to hide away for the sake of their own nicknames.

The strange phenomena around her aroused Amy's alert. She once again urged Alex to return to the sampan. At the same time, she took out the energy gun and adjusted it to the killing mode. Alex waved his hand, indicating that he still needed a few more seconds.

seconds, and then started the second attempt.

"I'm here to find Xiluo Qiu, I'm not an enemy," he sent a voice in Mandarin while thinking of a relaxed and happy scene so that he could exude a peaceful and goodwill mood. "I have seen the soul numbered sh-ba7ez9

Shaping Soil, please do not send creatures to attack me."

Two howls came from two directions in the network of grass leaves. One was full of anger and hatred, and the other was more like a passionate call. Then, the sound of shoxing came from far away from one end of the cave.

From far to near, it seemed as if a large group of army ants were approaching, and that was the direction from which the sounds of anger and hatred were coming.

"Hurry up! I'm coming!" Alex jumped on the suspended sampan, threw out the computing stick, and pushed hard on the wreckage of the forward detector. The sampan immediately started to slide, but the speed was not ideal, and the voice in the distance

Still getting closer.

"It's a basilisk! I heard their voice!" Amy shouted, then picked up the energy gun and started shooting at the top of the cave. "Damn, the stone here is too strong, I can't knock it down.

.Ike, lower your body, they are about to attack!"

Alex used all his strength to push the computing stick to the ground, and at the same time activated the short-term basic force thruster of the evolution plug-in, and added another force. The suspended sampan suddenly accelerated, and several silent bone spurs came from behind them.

It flew over, hit the wall and penetrated, disappearing in an instant. Fortunately, the cave ended the long straight road here, and the sudden turn played a life-saving role.

"There are three forks ahead, take the one on the right." Amy controlled the ups and downs of the suspended sampan to give Alex as many opportunities for support and acceleration as possible. He didn't care about energy consumption at all and kept flying according to the changes in the terrain. "

The shaft on the right is connected to the ground, let's..."

"No, there are all dangerous sounds over there." Alex has been staying in the Fluorescent Grass communication network. Anger and hatred are constantly coming from the depths of the right channel, and it is obvious that there will be more basilisks.

"Then let's go to the left and go deeper to see if there is any chance."

The passage on the left is closest to the earth ball, but there is silence in that direction. On the contrary, passionate shouts are coming from the middle road, and the sound is getting louder and more obvious. Alex immediately searches the topographic map in his memory.

The middle road can also reach Xirangqiu's cave, but it is more detoured, and the last section is very narrow, so I'm afraid I can only walk.

"Go from the middle, I feel better here." Alex assessed the situation, pushed his stick on the ground, and rushed straight to the middle passage. At this time, in the direction behind them, except for the basilisk crawling

In addition to the chirping sound, there was also the sound of flapping wings. Amy took a look with the help of dim vision, and immediately picked up the energy gun and started shooting.

What caught up was a group of bats with snake heads. Although they were small, with a wingspan of just over one meter, judging from the structure of their heads, they were probably as capable of launching bone spurs as the Basilisk. These guys were very fast.

Quickly, overtake the basilisk quickly, and it won't take long to catch up.

Due to their small size, these snake-headed bats have a poor range, at least shorter than energy guns, and have almost no protective capabilities. As long as they are hit, they will die. Amy controlled the pitch of the sampan while shooting backwards, and Padme also joined in the shooting.
