It is a large ruin, with a hexagonal base, each side is at least several hundred meters long, several times larger than the fortress where everyone is located. It can be seen that the open-air base originally had a simple exterior wall, and there were many metal pedestals buried on the ground inside the exterior wall. Some of them also had nested tubular objects extending out from the pedestal, and the top of the spherical shape pointed directly to the sky.

In addition, there are some huge buildings that give people a feeling of being very similar to the factory in Pavatiga. I don’t know what is produced in the factory, but there are a lot of metal puppets scattered in the ruins outside. Perhaps this is the true face of the factory’s films.

Most puppets are human-shaped, unlike the existing bases where the lower body is a crawler, but are real human-shaped puppets. The ends of the powerful upper limbs. In addition to the palms that look like humans, there is also a small flat exit on the wrist. If it is used for combat, weapons should be extended from the inside during combat. However, for some reason, all weapons are now in deactivated, and no puppet's weapon is extended.

In addition to human-shaped puppets, there are a few puppet wrecks that are more bizarre. They have no upper limbs and their bodies are like octopus. They have four flexible legs that support their big heads and have a shooting port on their heads. According to experience, there will be powerful ammunition or energy sprayed out in the shooting ports during battle. In conjunction with human-shaped melee puppets, they can form a layered attack.

Unfortunately, these buildings have been scrapped now, and the metal puppets have lost their energy to move. The base is dark, and the broken buildings of staggered sizes are loosely distributed in this abandoned base. There are only buildings, and there are some spires with conical crystals embedded on the top of them, which are still standing intact in the base. However, the crystals on the top of the tower have become dim and light, and you can tell at a glance that they have lost their function.

"There are not too many bugs. Logically speaking, this should be one of their strongholds. Why are there so few troops?"

Shuer suddenly felt that his intelligence was slapped hard because he had not finished speaking about the small number of insects. The soil on the ground around the base suddenly churned, and thousands of insects drilled out of the ground, leaving only small caves on the ground. These bugs had been buried underground for a long time. After drilling out, they turned around the cave a few times, moved their stiff limbs, and then drilled back into the cave, and the ground returned to its original flatness.

"It's so sinister." Xiuer curled his lips, but to be honest, even if these thousands of insects were counted, there were not many enemies in the ruins of the Soul Clan base. Maybe he could really consider breaking through here. Thinking of this, Xiuer couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Wei, the map, centers us, marks the location of the Soul Clan base."

The exact map appeared in front of the three of them. Shuer held the energy distribution map drawn by Suff and carefully compared the two. It was a coincidence that the location was definitely here. Where would the specific location be? It should be on the ground, but the ground was full of buildings, which did not meet the conditions for the occurrence of the separation point. After all, the conditions for the occurrence of the separation point are open areas where there must be no obstacles within dozens of meters around. Although the base of the Soul Clan has its own architectural rules, there is no such open areas.

"Wei, you have introduced that the Soul Clan has abandoned its material form. So what state do they exist? How do they manipulate these large metal puppets? Where do they usually live? I didn't find a building similar to a barracks in the base."

"Those are not combat armor, those are the combat bodies of the Soul Clan. After the combat bodies are created, the Soul Clan will merge with the body. After the combat bodies are completely destroyed, the Soul Clan will also die symbolically."

“Symbolism?”

"Their consciousness will dissipate, but their souls are immortal. After the broken souls return to @#￥@#, they can recondensate into a new soul clan after a period of time, so their death is not death in the substantial sense."

"But in general, they are still dead." Xiuer nodded and pointed to the combat puppets that were at least two people tall. "In other words, these are actually the essence of the Soul Clan. So, where do they usually live in such a large size? You can't live in the open air at will."

"Underground, the Soul Clan likes to live underground. Their base and main part are all underground. Moreover, the Soul Clan likes spacious environments, so the underground part is often much larger than the ground part."

"Hehe." The three of them sighed at the same time.

No need to look for it, the underground is more spacious than the ground, and the separation point is very likely to appear underground. The problem is that the three of them saw the bugs that just came out of the ground. No one knew how many bugs would be buried underground, and they didn't know whether the underground base had also been broken through. If the situation underground was the same as the ground, everyone went through a lot of hard work and found that they had entered the bugs' nests, that was the biggest joke of the era.

"Wei, your reconnaissance tool is to use the kind of thing that we see in the image. Can we view the creatures below the ground?" Xiuer thought for a while and asked tentatively, "I want to see the distribution of insect swarms underground."

"Neither invisible organisms or biological stealth probes with intervals in the middle cannot detect them."

"Sure enough, I was thinking too much, so I could only find another way."

"Radar scanning can complete your command, commander." Wei added mechanically, "It only takes two days to charge, is it entering the charging state?"

“What will happen?”

"The increased energy occupancy rate may occupy the energy usage quota for other tasks, resulting in a reduction of resource acquisition efficiency and production efficiency by 40% without other impacts."

"What does this mean?" Every time Wei said, Shuer helped Suff and Moria translate. However, even he himself could only choose those who knew a little about it, "What is the current productivity?"

"Zero, material reserves have reached the upper limit, no need to continue to replenish them."

"Okay, then start charging, start early and end early. So, in two days, I can see the biodistribution of this area, right?"

"Yes, Commander, not only here, the radar can scan any corner within a radius of 1,000 kilometers. After scanning, the situation within a radius of 1,000 kilometers can be reflected in the holographic projection with the scanning point as the center."

"Wait, wait." Shuer frowned and pointed to the third display area without images. "Can any place be? Including such invisible places?"

"Yes, commanders, including here, radar imaging is not limited by field of view, its principle is..."

"Stop, I can't understand it even if I say it, and it doesn't make sense if I understand it." Similar situations have occurred countless times today. Xiuer didn't want to repeat the nightmare encounter again, so he quickly interrupted Wei's long explanation. Xiuer knew that he had to make a decision, whether to further check the determined area or scan the space that was always in an unknown state?

"Hey...why are you making things difficult? Both - scan? What does that mean - in short, just check both places, stay here for two days at most." Sav and Moria really didn't understand what Sul was struggling with. It was no big deal to stay for two more days with sixteen days.

"It's not that simple." Shuer shook his head, "Do you think the queen behind the bugs know our existence?"

"It shouldn't be known." Saf said timidly, "We have never appeared since the last battle. It shouldn't have been born at that time. Moreover, if she had known it, she would have sent large troops to attack us long ago. After all, our size is also human and is hostile to them."

"If she doesn't want to attack us, but is worried about insufficient troops and wants to eliminate the biggest threat first and then turn back to deal with us?" Shur sighed, "After all, in the eyes of insects, the threat of big spiders is much greater than that of us. It's no big deal to give us more time, but giving the big spiders a little more time will give it the opportunity to recuperate and expand the race, which will pose a great threat to the insects."

"So you want to escape before the swarm eliminates the mutant spider mother?"

"Well, otherwise, once the main force of the insect swarm turns back, we may not be able to hold on for long." Xiuer said with a wry smile, "Wei, the insect swarm has all its strength to attack, how long can our fortress last?"

"In forty-eight minutes and thirty-six seconds, the city wall will be broken, one hour, three minutes and seventeen seconds, and the defense will collapse on the whole line. At this time, the self-destruction device must be activated to consume the number of insect swarms and energy."

"It seems that I heard a very ominous noun, but I won't go into it in depth." Shur spread his hands at Moria and Suff. "Once we are attacked, we will not have any chance. At that time, no one who wants to take out will be taken away. So the safest way is to prepare for the shortest time without attracting the attention of the insect swarm, and then successfully evacuate the alien projection at one time before the mutant spider mother is defeated. Otherwise? Try to make the eight of us return to Pavattiga intact."

"Then we can only choose one of two, the remaining one..." Moria tilted her head and thought, "Why don't we go and see it yourself?"

"Well, I think so too." Xiuer nodded thoughtfully, "Wei, is there any such thing as yours in the base of the Soul Clan..."

"Artificial intelligence? Yes, Laura, the artificial intelligence of the Soul Clan Base."

"Is there any connection between you?"

"No, commander." If there is human feelings, this artificial intelligence will definitely roll its eyes. "Artificial intelligence does not have the ability to take the initiative, and the soul clan and our humans are just allies, not the same tribe. Artificial intelligence with base control authority cannot actively contact other artificial intelligence, otherwise it is equivalent to opening the control authority of its own base to the other party."

"What about communication? For example, I asked you to help me connect to the communications at the Soul Clan Base. Logically, at the level of our humans, we should be able to achieve remote communication."

"Not even possible, commander, communication needs someone to answer the other party before it can be established, but the other party's base has long been abandoned and no one will answer it."

"Hell, it's really troublesome. If I get attacked by bugs outside their door, that... Laura? Will I help me open the door?"

"Will, commander, according to the underlying agreement, without special orders, artificial intelligence must take the highest priority of maintaining the lives of soldiers, including Allied soldiers."

"Huh, there's finally good news, then... huh?" A loud noise came from outside. It seemed that Mia and Dark were coming back with the spoils.
