In response to Ye Zuxi's words, the atmosphere in the room solidified for a moment.
"The arrangement of this exchange competition originated from the reforms from above. We have experienced a hundred years of comfort, but some hidden crises have emerged again. In response to the call, the talent training plan has been further strengthened. What is the problem with this?" Chen Tuan
The chief said slowly.
"Please lend me a step and let me explain in detail. There are some things that I won't be able to finish in a while. Moreover, I am here for a secret operation. If I am not careful, I may alert others."
Captain Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, the students are almost here. Everyone, please go ahead."
Everyone else agreed and walked out of the room.
The investigator did not leave immediately, but put his arm around Ye Zuxi's shoulders: "Zu Xi, why haven't we ignored you, Brother Song, after so long?"
"I still have something to do. Investigator Song, please don't interfere with the work of the Supervisory Committee." Ye Zuxi said goodbye, not even bothering to look at him.
"Ouch~." The man named Song bared his teeth, shook his head, and followed the people in front of him to leave the room.
"Song Jie, do you know that person?" The person in front asked curiously when he saw him following.
"He worked as an investigator for a while, and I took him under my wing. But not long after, his father called him back. After all, it was just to let him learn some experience here. It's really, exactly the same as before." Song Jie smiled wryly at Rumor.
.
"Hey, then I want to ask you, the senior investigator, what do you think the specific situation of what he said is?" the man asked in a low voice.
"How can I, a young senior investigator, know about the work of the Supervisory Committee? That guy is so arrogant right now. Commander Chen and I feel embarrassed talking to him. Look at him, he looks calm." Song Jie's eyes moved slightly and he winced.
Haha, I changed the topic and had no intention of saying more on this sensitive topic.
…
"That's probably what happened. Captain Chen, are you willing to cooperate? I have been secretly tracking these signs for a long time. The other party may have left some traces in this matter in a hurry. I feel that I can't let it go." Ye Zuxi summarized the details of his investigation.
After explaining the situation and reasons, I asked like this.
After all, the influence of the military's Supervisory Committee is limited. It would be difficult for him to act alone in Baisha Chaos Horizon, so he could only ask for the help of Commander Chen.
"Have you ever thought that the other party has been hiding for so long, but suddenly exposed its trap this time? Is it possible that this is a trap?" Captain Chen asked.
"It makes no sense. The other party has been lurking for a long time and has a big conspiracy. If it is just to eliminate me as a thorn in the side or to threaten the military, this matter is far from that scale. Now I can't calm down. Something happened to us.
, they will only face a more dangerous situation than being pursued by the investigators represented by me, and it will be thankless." Ye Zuxi has naturally considered this situation.
"Very good, you have Ye Qilong's demeanor, but you are not as fierce as him, but you also have some other things." Captain Chen commented.
"That's ridiculous." Ye Zuxi was modest.
The topic came to an end, and his eyes turned to a screen, and his eyes immediately froze.
"What's wrong?"
"I saw an acquaintance, but it was nothing. But just now, I suddenly remembered that if the expected situation does not happen, I have another plan..."
Yes, this was a loophole that he accidentally dropped when he hurriedly got up from bed to investigate after suddenly discovering something bad happened again in Shenjiang.
The current identity of that person is still a student, and because he is a junior volunteer student, he is currently working hard to improve his scores.
He also came to this white sand chaotic horizon.
That's okay, I can probably solve it more easily this time.
The other party acted in such a hasty manner and failed to clean up the situation. In the end, he bumped into that person. It was really unlucky.
Thinking about it, Ye Zuxi, who was still a little heavy at first, suddenly relaxed a lot.
…
Fortunately, the entrance to Baisha Chaos Vision is very large. Although there were many people entering today, there were no jams or long queues.
Aaron followed the team and quickly passed the iron gate at the entrance. Even during the exchange competition, students still had to pay to enter.
rustle.
The feeling of stepping on the sand is subtly different from that of walking on a hard road. People who are more sensitive will feel slightly uncomfortable.
Aaron rubbed the sand under his feet and suddenly felt an unusual smell.
His eyes looked ahead, which was a modern-style building.
A sizable gathering place has been built inside the White Sand Chaos Vision, which is much larger than the cobblestone square in the City of Mist, and soldiers stationed there can often be seen.
Blinking, he took a few steps forward and stopped on the side of the road so as not to disturb others.
"What's wrong?" Xing Liuli asked, seeing that Aaron looked not quite right.
"Woo~?." Yue Tomb also popped his head out of the basketball bag and shouted with concern.
"It's okay, help me block it." Aaron walked to Xing Liuli and lowered his head and said, then looked at his feet.
The dark pupils quickly flashed with starlight, but a dark golden light bloomed to cover up these ominous colors. With the concentration of power, Aaron's sight began to penetrate this somewhat dazzling white desert, extending towards its depths.
.
Dark, dark, dark…
Rustling, rustling...
A scalp-numbing crawling sound sounded from within his line of sight, and then seemed to travel along Aaron's line of sight to his ears, as if some kind of multi-legged insect crawled past his ears, penetrated into his ears, and crawled inside his brain.
Aaron's pupils shrank and dilated, and all the discordant sounds dissipated after a painful "squeak".
He continued to read.
There are holes, tunnels, underground mazes, bugs, densely packed bugs, but although there are many of them, the individuals are very poor and weak, and their bodies are obviously malnourished.
Most of the land under the entire desert is like this.
But that's not what Aaron wanted to see. What he felt was something more profound.
The line of sight continued downward, almost exhausting the underground of this desert.
There were fewer bugs, and there were fewer mazes of tunnels. Then, the shadow of a huge creature appeared in Aaron's sight.
It...no, it should be "him", sleeping deep in this place.
However, this "smell" emanating from the surface of the earth shows that he is on the verge of awakening, trapped in the gap between dreams and reality. It only takes a little disturbance to wake him up completely.
What's the magnitude?
It still has clear biological characteristics, its vital signs are obvious and large, and it has not completely broken away from the shackles of the original race. In other words, it has not yet reached that level.
Also, if it is at that level, this world and the alien space projection of this chaotic horizon simply cannot bear his weight, even if he is trapped in a dream.
It can be resolved peacefully.
Aaron relaxed a little.
Then sing a lullaby.
…
Somewhere underground in the desert.
The weak Zerg whose bodies have reached the limit, even if they are too rotten to perform any work within the group, will not give up coming to this place they call Hallownest to pray.
Zhizhizhi...
The insects waved their tentacles and limbs, and emitted a strange cry that sounded a bit messy at first, but also had some strange melody. This was their hymn.
They believe that their efforts will not be in vain, and that the Mother Goddess will eventually wake up and give them salvation.
On the top step of Hallownest, a stout bug, much larger than the frail bugs below, was kneeling respectfully on the ground with the thickest limbs of its lower body. The three pairs of strong limbs of its upper body, the front one, joined hands.
The middle one is surrounded, and the bottom one is open to the sky.
Its smooth and shiny carapace has strange silver lines, shining with divine brilliance.
Suddenly, a secret message came into my mind.
It didn't pay attention at first, but its mouthparts slowly collided to make a crisp beat, and continued to complete the prayer.
When everything was over, the voices in Hallownest slowly returned to calm, and the bugs all looked at the powerful figure at the top.
"Zhizhi..."
The figure stood up, gave an order casually, and then jumped up and disappeared from the altar.
The insects screamed excitedly, but still obeyed the order and retreated one after another.
The disappearing figure came to a hidden tunnel, where a slender insect was waiting.
They make calls and communicate in their own language.
"What's the matter?" asked the Silver Striped Zerg.
"The mages responsible for isolating the outside world from the nest and maintaining the barrier died collectively."
"...all dead?"
"Yes, there are six thousand eight hundred and thirty-four in total, not a single one survived."
"What's the specific situation?"
"I don't know, the rooms at the barrier node are not allowed to be entered at will. When the barrier disappeared, we immediately discovered something was wrong. We checked them one by one and found that they were all dead. The cause of death was...brain damage."
"How many mages do we have left?"
"Only the high priest and the astrologer are left." These two are the only group mages who did not participate in the enchantment matter.
"...Sigh." The Silver Striped Zerg couldn't help but make a sad voice.
"I wonder if this is the work of the creatures on the surface." The slender Zerg said.
"If any one of them is really capable of crushing the brains of our 6,834 enchantment mages from the surface to the insect nest, then we should have been exterminated long ago." But the Silver Striped Zerg Tribe is.
He said while sighing.
"But……"
"In my memory, only great beings have this kind of great power. No, it is not accurate to say that it is great power, because even if those beings just pay a little attention, it is not something we can easily bear."
"The only great being here is..."
"Yes, our Mother Goddess." The Silver Striped Zerg looked in a certain direction, its eyes shining with bright silver light deepened.
"Mother Goddess?! Why does He...?" The Slender Zerg wanted to question, but immediately realized that neither the person in front of them nor the supreme Mother Goddess could be offended at will.
only……
"I remember that one of your friends is also doing his best at the barrier node." said the Silver-patterned Zerg.
The slender Zerg didn't speak.
"Alas..." The Silver Striped Zerg sighed again, "The Mother Goddess fell into a deep sleep again."
"!" The body of the slender Zerg trembled violently. This time, the surprise was even greater than before, and the eyes were full of disbelief and despair.
"I...we...were we abandoned?"
The Silver Striped Zerg fell silent.
Six thousand eight hundred and thirty-four Zerg mages, the last living force of their clan died in the blink of an eye.
The Mother Goddess, who had spent hundreds of years serving her with all her strength, fell into a deep sleep again just before she was about to wake up.
Their fate is truly over.
The insect sea back then failed to overwhelm the group of humans on the surface. Now that they have sacrificed their numerical advantage for the final plan, they have no chance of winning.
what to do?
Who played this joke on them? This cruel joke!
Mother Goddess? Or, some great existence passing by?
