"Team leader, what exactly does the encrypted message say?" Que Tian was very curious."You will never guess where the base of the Midnight Clan is!"
Lin Yang exclaimed again, and in front of Que Tian's astonished expression, he said the contents of the encrypted message:
"The base of the Night Clan is inside a ruin!"
"What? In the ruins?" Que Tian was shocked and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The ruins are extremely dangerous. Anyone who enters will die. How could they build an experimental base in the ruins?"
"I can't believe it either, but this is what the information in the encrypted message says!" Lin Yang sighed.
He was also shocked when he read the contents of the encrypted message just now.
The base of the Midnight Clan is actually in a relic in an unknown space!
This is simply shocking news!
"The member of the fourth group said that after he separated from us, he knew he wouldn't live long, so he simply accelerated the spacecraft's voyage and rushed towards the depths of unknown space. He wanted to see more secrets in the depths of unknown space before he died."
Lin Yang spoke and told Que Tian more information.
"However, he did not see the secrets deep in the unknown space. However, after a few months of accelerated navigation, he discovered a place where a large number of life forms gathered. That place was a ruin, and he accidentally discovered people from the Midnight Clan entering and leaving the ruins."
"Ah? How did you find out? Are you sure?" Que Tianxia asked subconsciously.
"The information didn't mention how it was discovered."
Lin Yang shook his head.
"I think there is not enough time to say more, as to whether it is certain or not."
"The information said that he couldn't be 100% sure, because he certainly couldn't pass on any information after entering the ruins. He just saw members of the Night Tribe entering and leaving the ruins, so he speculated that the Night Tribe's base was inside the ruins."
At this point, Lin Yang sighed:
"During this period, in order to prevent the warship from being detected by the Dark Night Clan, he used the corpses of his companions and himself to attract more life forms to attach to it."
"Those new life forms can block the signal source. After attracting a large number of life forms to attach themselves, the warship escaped from the entrance area of the ruins without any danger and started to automatically return according to the route it had set before."
"In the message he left behind, he said that he was not sure whether the spaceship and the news would eventually be known to the Human Alliance, but this was the only thing he could do."
Hearing this, Que Tian also sighed: "What a person worthy of admiration."
Lin Yang nodded.
Although the other party did not leave much information, we can still infer that the current situation on the spacecraft was probably arranged by that team member before his death.
He has done everything he could.
All doors leading to the power room were completely locked, probably to minimize damage to the power room.
By shutting down other systems and functions of the spacecraft, it was probably an attempt to avoid being detected by the Midnight Clan.
"It's hard to imagine the struggle he went through when he decided to use his companion's corpse as a guide." Que Tian sighed again.
Sometimes it is easy to sacrifice yourself, but using the bodies of your companions is still a great test for your psychology.
Lin Yang nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and said: "Their sacrifice will not be in vain, let's pass on this message now."
As he spoke, he turned on the team's communication equipment to transmit information, and simultaneously transmitted the spacecraft's navigation route map so that other groups could know the approximate location of the ruins.
Now that the spaceship is next to the stone sculpture, the ability of those new life forms to block the signal source is not effective, allowing the fourth group of spaceships to successfully send messages outward.
After dozens of minutes, replies were received from several groups other than Suzaku.
They all said they had received the relevant information and had reported to the Human Alliance headquarters.
"After all, the professional communication equipment on the spacecraft is more convenient." Lin Yang sighed.
The built-in communication equipment in his and Que Tian's own single-person combat devices can only send messages to the linked Suzaku ship, and cannot contact other teams.
This is also the reason why they did not ask for help from other groups before.
The communication equipment installed in this single-person combat suit only serves to assist communication.
The main function of the combat suit is to fight, so it only has a communication equipment module built in.
Although it can be used by other more professional equipment to communicate vaguely within a certain distance through wartime authorization, it is unable to actively contact other group warships without a direct link and at a very long distance.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered here for several months without being able to contact any other rescuers.
However, as the saying goes, blessings often lie within the shadow of misfortune, and misfortune often lies within the shadow of blessings.
It was precisely because they were unable to contact other teams and did not receive timely rescue that they are now waiting here for the fourth group of warships to return.
If other teams had been contacted and rescued in time, it would be basically impossible to see the fourth group of warships returning now.
Although this warship may be discovered by others in the future.
But the time wasted and the cost paid by other groups to continue exploring may double.
"Fate is indeed strange."
Que Tian understood what Lin Yang meant from his sigh and immediately sighed as well.
Then, Que Tian looked at Lin Yang and asked, "Team Leader, you just said we want to do something big, what do you mean?"
According to the current situation, they can use the fourth group of warships to escape from this area, and also learn the location of the base of the Midnight Clan.
This exploration mission can be said to have come to an end.
But Lin Yang just said that he wanted to do something bigger, which made Que Tian a little confused.
"Logically speaking, our mission can indeed end here."
Lin Yang also looked at Que Tian and said:
"But after we return, judging from the current situation at the Alliance Headquarters where there is a shortage of manpower, we will definitely have to follow the people at the Alliance Headquarters back to destroy the Midnight Tribe base."
"You should have no different opinion on this point, right?"
"No." Que Tian shook his head. "We are familiar with the situation here. We are the primary parties who discovered the fourth group of warships and confidential information. We also have strong strength. The alliance will definitely let us come in with us."
"Yes! So, instead of returning and coming back, wasting a lot of time going back and forth, we might as well take advantage of this time to do something big." Lin Yang's eyes were dim.
Que Tian was startled for a moment, then he seemed to understand something and said in disbelief: "Team Leader, you're not thinking of us going to explore the ruins together, are you?"
"Hehe, that's good! Let's go to the ruins!" Lin Yang laughed.
"...What's the difference between that and committing suicide?" Que Tian was speechless, "That's a relic!"
The ruins, whether in the records of the ancient Taixuan Dynasty or the records of the Alliance Headquarters, state that anyone who enters will die, with no chance of survival.
But Lin Yang now suggests that they go explore the ruins?
Are you sure this isn't crazy?
"Hehe, it's precisely because it's a ruin that we have to go!"
Lin Yang smiled again, and in the face of Que Tian's puzzled expression, he explained leisurely:
"As we all know, entering the ruins means death, but the Night Clan built their base inside the ruins. It is conceivable that this was definitely done with the help of that higher-dimensional life form."
"Since the Night Clan can stay safe in the ruins with the help of that high-dimensional life, it means that the ruins are now safe!"
"No matter how that high-dimensional life did it, since the Midnight Clan can be safe in there, then so can we!"
Hearing this, Que Tian's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but say: "That's true, but team leader, even if the ruins are safe, we two can't be the opponents of so many Mingye people!"
"The Night Clan built that base in the ruins, so that base must be a super important large base. The security and other forces inside must be extremely strong. There may even be some power methods given by the high-dimensional life. If we go in, it would be a bit like sending ourselves to death."
After saying this, Que Tian seemed to have thought of something and quickly added:
"Let me make it clear first, I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to die meaninglessly and worthlessly!"
"..." Lin Yang immediately glanced at Que Tian with a strange look in his eyes, "I know you are not afraid of death, but I didn't say that we are going to deal with the Mingye people in the ruins!"
"Huh? Team leader, what do you mean? If not us, who else could it be?" Que Tian was a little confused by Lin Yang.
Lin Yang didn't say much, but pointed at the stone sculpture next to the warship.
Que Tian was stunned.
Lin Yang said slowly: "The word 'Zhen' on the chest of the stone sculpture is almost wiped out. Don't you want to see what will happen after it is completely erased?" "..." Que Tian was silent.
After a while.
"Team leader, I have to say, you are quite courageous."
Que Tian spoke with a strange look in his eyes.
Lin Yang actually wanted to use stone sculptures to deal with the Mingye people?
This idea is a bit too bold!
That's a stone sculpture!
Weird stone sculptures!
Using stone carving?
"Team leader, aren't you afraid that the stone sculpture will kill you first after it opens its eyes?" Que Tian said again.
Who would be willing to be used by such a strange and powerful being?
Or they are exploited by ants weaker than themselves.
If stone sculptures really have spirits...
Que Tian even began to imagine the scene where the stone sculpture opened its eyes and, in a rage, blew Lin Yang into pieces with a single look.
Using stone carvings is so bold!
"Ahem, what do you mean by exploit? Don't put it in such a harsh way, this is called cooperation!"
Lin Yang glanced at the stone sculpture guiltily, made a gesture to silence Quetian, and then whispered:
"According to the various records in the Alien Management Bureau, after leaving the unknown space and coming back, we may not encounter the same stone sculpture again. This stone sculpture can shock life forms, which can help us pass through the gathering place of life forms in the ruins area. This is a rare opportunity."
"As for whether he will kill me first after opening his eyes, to be honest, this is not within my consideration for the time being."
"Ah? Team leader, this is not within your consideration, then what are you considering?" Que Tian was stunned.
If you don't even consider your own life, what else is worth considering?
"My main concern now is to confirm whether the stone sculpture will follow me into the ruins." Lin Yang said softly.
"This...Team leader, are you really sure you want to do this?" Que Tian became serious.
He could tell that Lin Yang wasn't joking.
But this is no joke. In Que Tian's opinion, it is the biggest joke.
If you really do this, there is a high probability that you will lose your life!
So, without waiting for Lin Yang to answer, Que Tian said:
"Team leader, do you want to reconsider this? Even if the stone sculpture follows you into the ruins, the ruins can accommodate it, but what if the stone sculpture is also afraid of the power of the higher-dimensional life and dares not destroy the base of the Night Clan? By then, the Night Clan will block the entrance, and we will be caught in a trap."
Que Tian asked the question seriously.
As he said, he is not afraid of death, he is just afraid that death has no value and meaning.
There are too many uncertainties about stone carving now, and he doesn't want Lin Yang to take such a risk.
In response, Lin Yang paused for a moment before replying, "I know you have many concerns, and these are indeed very objective questions. However, if you don't try, how do you know if it will work?"
"If you fail, you will die!" Que Tian reminded again.
"What if I say that I am sure I won't die?" Lin Yang looked at Que Tian.
"What certainty?" Que Tian was stunned.
"I can't explain too much to you, but I am now confident that I can come out alive after entering the ruins, so I won't ask you to accompany me on this operation."
Lin Yang said slowly.
"I can send you away from this area first, contact other teams to pick you up, and then I will go to the ruins alone to conduct experiments."
"...Team leader, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Que Tian was silent for a moment, then spoke in a strange tone.
"What? Just say it." Lin Yang was puzzled.
"You are simply a lunatic!" Que Tian let out a long sigh, "Is it worth fighting so hard just for a little contribution and merit?"
He doesn't understand!
"Uh..." Lin Yang was a little speechless.
madman?
He is not crazy!
The reason he did this was because he had just learned the location of the base of the Midnight Clan.
A task suddenly popped up in the system.
“Funeral Song of the Dark Night (Epic Level): Destroy the Dark Night Clan’s human gene recombination and transformation base in the unknown space ruins to prevent more human beings from being killed.”
"Rewards for successful mission: Depending on the degree of destruction and the time of destruction, a large amount of national treasure value, achievement points and corresponding special items will be awarded. The earlier the destruction is completed and the higher the degree of destruction is, the better the reward will be!"
"Reward for mission failure: None."
"Remarks (1): This mission is a special time-limited mission. Please choose to accept it within 24 hours. If you fail to do so, it will be deemed as abandoned and the mission will not appear again."
"Remark (2): This mission is a free mission. Due to its high difficulty, it is not necessary to complete it. The host can choose whether to accept it according to the situation."
"Remark (3): If you accept the mission, it will last for six months. After six months, the corresponding rewards will be issued at the same time according to the completion rate."
"..."
This task came suddenly, leaving Lin Yang unprepared.
And it’s a limited-time mission!
Six months is not enough time to pass the message on, let alone wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Human Alliance headquarters.
Therefore, Lin Yang had no choice but to take the task and take a risk.
After all, there haven't been any tasks in the system for a long, long time.
The rewards for this mission are particularly generous!
Massive national treasure values and a large number of achievement points!
The fact that the system uses words like "massive" and "large" to describe it is enough to prove that once completed, the national treasure value and achievement points that can be obtained will definitely be beyond imagination.
For Lin Yang, who is extremely short of national treasure value, this is a temptation that is hard to refuse!
Moreover, this is the first time that the system gives the difficulty of a task at the same time when giving out a task!
Epic!
Not only is the difficulty of the task given, but it is also epic from the start!
This is enough to highlight the specialness of this mission!
Of course, Lin Yang is not the kind of person who would be dazzled by the mission rewards.
The mission rewards are certainly generous.
But the epic difficulty still made him hesitate.
What really made him make up his mind was.
"Host, this system has detected the emergence of a special task. This task is a special-level trigger task based on the underlying rules of the system. It is extremely rare. Please accept and complete it. You will receive unimaginable rewards!"
"This system will fully assist you in your mission attempt. This system can initiate a medium-distance instantaneous jump for you to ensure your safety!"
The system's voice also sounded after the task appeared, and it seemed very excited.
It even stated directly that as long as Lin Yang accepted the task, he could consume a small amount of existing national treasure value and make an absolutely safe jump to ensure that he would not encounter any accidents during the process of testing the stone carving.
This left Lin Yang with no reason to refuse!
That’s also the reason why he just said that he was sure he wouldn’t die!
A special task that appears suddenly, or a rare task triggered by the underlying rules.
There is also the system's super authority to assist in instant transition!
How can we not give it a try?
