Chapter 95 Hatchery
The main fleet of "Watcher" seems to be attacking the border of "Farwalker", but under the policy of sticking to it, they can't help the tortoise shells inside the galaxy for a while.
The civilization watching the battle thought that they could avoid this muddy water, but they never thought that trouble would come to them by themselves.
"Farwalker" keeps using some plausible fleet signals to scatter in the galaxy, some of which are true and some are false, and they have indeed dispersed part of the "Watcher" fleet.
But sometimes when the "harassing fleet" is caught, a big war will inevitably break out in their galaxy.
The first to suffer was Corebo, one of their sufficiently scattered trading posts had the misfortune of encountering a battle between two lost empires.
Even though the guard fleet there fought hard, the aftermath of the engagement still reached them.
For example, a shot from the main gun of the battlecruiser that missed directly destroyed the main body of the trading post, leaving only a group of dilapidated spaceships fleeing in embarrassment.
When other civilizations were still laughing at Ke Ruibo, they found that their own homes had more or less similar situations.
The "Farwalker", which uses the jump engine to appear elusively, seems to intentionally let the fleet appear in the territory of other countries, and use the chaotic situation to share the offensive pressure of the "Watcher".
And those vassal civilizations who swore to join are also fighting more fiercely, among which the "Watcher" is particularly crazy.
They see the hope of the "Watcher" victory, and they have a great advantage at present. They also hope to contribute, starting with destroying the opponent's vassal civilization.
The vassal civilizations of the "far traveler" also discovered the defense of their suzerain country, and without exception, they chose to defend, and also retreated, as if expecting the outbreak of the counterattack horn.
In the territory of the Tinder Alliance, this civilization that likes to rescue the natives also suffered bad luck because of the disappearance of the "far traveler".
There is a "far traveler" camouflage fleet engaged in a war with the "Watcher" in one of their galaxies. Now all the space facilities there have been destroyed, and it is very troublesome to rebuild.
But the more troublesome thing is yet to come...
"...It's really a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. I thought we were so far away from the two lost empires, but I didn't expect it to be affected."
A scientist from the Fire Alliance came to the warring galaxy and constantly analyzed the damage here.
"And it's a coincidence that it happens to be in this 'nature reserve galaxy'. I hope the wild animals here will not be affected..."
Another scientist looked at the messy "nature reserve galaxy" with some distress, and kept complaining about the two lost empires that destroyed it.
As a civilization that likes to rescue the natives, the Tinder Alliance is also quite interested in all kinds of ignorant native animals.
Not only set up a "Natural Reserve Galaxy", but also will continue to call on interstellar civilizations to give undeveloped animals a little living space, which feels like an interstellar animal protection organization.
Their enthusiastic behavior has attracted the attention of observers and has received a lot of resources.
And that resource was used by them to create the "Natural Reserve Galaxy" in front of them.
This is a special galaxy. When the Fire Alliance discovered it, they actually found five habitable planets with a lot of animal activities here!
This is a good thing that can’t be met. If it’s an ordinary civilization, I’m afraid I’m going to emigrate on the spot. Don’t waste the five free colonies.
But the Fire Alliance thinks this is a miracle brought by the heavens. It is unbelievable that there are five habitable planets in a galaxy at the same time.
So they immediately decided to set this place as a "natural reserve" and sent a large number of patrol fleets to guard against poachers from destroying the ecological stability here.
Their behavior has attracted dissatisfaction from a large number of civilizations, thinking that this is a wasteful behavior. If the five colonies are run well, they can bring huge benefits to civilization in a few decades.
Therefore, many civilizations have thought about this place, whether it is a threat or a transaction, they have used it, but they have never given up the determination of the Fire Alliance to protect this place.
Until just now, this place has become one of the battlegrounds between "Watcher" and "Farwalker".
"...It's over, it's over! I've already seen a large crater visible to the naked eye on the planet in Nature Reserve No. 5!"
"It must have been shot by a weapon from one of their battleships! In this case, the planet's ecology will undergo huge changes! After a mass extinction, many unique species will disappear..."
The Tinder Alliance expert who has a lot of research on biology felt sad for the big pit visible to the naked eye. In addition, he also saw more or less traces of war on several other planets in nature reserves.
Obviously, the battle here is very intense, and it may even have evolved into a chaotic war. There is no order at all, just hunt and kill the enemy in front of you.
It’s these native creatures who suffered a lot. After the mass extinction this time, I don’t know how many creatures that worked hard to evolve will all be reopened.
"Alas... let's hurry up and restore the ecology... I just hope that there will be no more wars here in the future."
Someone persuaded the biologist, but he couldn't help but sigh, feeling ill-fated for the indigenous species here.
So they first approached the closest planet in the nature reserve, preparing to solve the catastrophe problem first.
However, when they checked the situation here, they realized that something seemed wrong.
"...It's a bit strange. Due to the huge external impact, it is normal for any catastrophe to occur on the planet here. Tsunami and earthquakes are even more commonplace. Why is there nothing?"
The entire planet in the nature reserve appears to be calm, and the creatures on it seem to be completely unaffected by the flames of war. They still stroll leisurely on the plains of the planet, occasionally eating a mouthful of grass, and living a very nourishing life.
A scientist immediately said: "Go and see the big pit!"
Their spaceship quickly came to the place where it was hit. The rock formation here was greatly damaged, and the cracks had spread to the depths, peeling off from time to time with the breeze blowing
But the scientists noticed something was wrong. They found that the cracks were spreading inward in an unnatural shape, as if something was shaking under the rock formation, trying to break out of the shell.
"Put down the drone and leave here immediately! Also inform other people in the galaxy to leave this galaxy as soon as possible!" The leader of this group of scientists decisively left the planet, leaving only the observation drone.
Curiosity about all things is a biological talent, especially scientists. Logically speaking, they should stop there and wait quietly, witnessing what happens next.
But all of them felt the warning from the whole body, and the sense of danger that seemed to be a natural enemy almost drove them away like needle pricks.
Obviously there must be something terrifying under the planet, and the sixth sense alone is enough to make the body spontaneously want to stay away.
So the Pyro Alliance spacecraft located in this "Natural Reserve Galaxy" quickly withdrew, and only the drones left on the various natural reserve planets are still recording the content here.
As the cracks on the planet's crater became more and more large, the secrets buried here were finally revealed to the Pyro Alliance.
First, a small piece of the rock wall fell off, revealing a dark cavity behind it. The planet's crust seems to be hollow, and the depths cannot be seen at a glance.
Afterwards, a huge pillar of flesh that looked like an enlarged version of an ant's tentacles protruded from the hole, and then shrunk into darkness.
The mutation also broke out at this time.
Countless seas of tides that looked like flesh and blood surged out of the hole and quickly spread around. After being touched by them, everything on the road quickly became a part of them.
Not only here, other parts of the planet also began to vibrate. First, a little poisonous gas was released from the cracks on the exposed surface, and then the same sea of flesh and blood gushed out as before.
Countless cracks like this continued to form, and soon the entire planet was covered by these biological erosion bodies like living creatures, and it became thicker and thicker.
On top of these biological erosions, large-scale organisms with different functions like buildings grew rapidly, and new creatures could be faintly seen being born in them.
It looks quite weird, but it also has a special aesthetic feeling of perfect evolution of organisms.
Finally, in the shocked expressions of everyone in the Fire Alliance, all the other "nature reserve planets" have become like this, this kind of "hatching planet" that has been completely transformed by a group of biological erosion bodies, like a nest.
While they were in shock, Li Wenyuan, who was far away on Earth, was also in shock.
He received a special signal, which he is familiar with after digging human remains for a long time, which means that something left by humans has been activated again.
Not only that, there is a galaxy in his star chart shining with strong light, which seems to be urging him to hurry over.
Without hesitation, and without even having time to call Gray Wind, he directly let a scientific research spacecraft jump over, and at the same time made the fleet ready for combat.
He felt that the situation this time was a bit abnormal, he had never seen a signal from a place that could cause such a big movement.
So the jump wave flashed by, and when the scientific research spacecraft arrived at the position, he also saw the scene inside the galaxy.
There are a large number of hideous-looking giant creatures in the universe here. Compared with those individuals who devoured the bee colony, they are like a group of children, and they are not even scary in appearance.
Besides, all the planets here, except the gas giant planets, have been transformed by a layer of biological erosion like living things, and they are completely unsuitable for any living things other than this kind of life.
Those giant creatures wandering in space sensed the outsiders, and then all opened their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to swarm up and tear up small things like scientific research spacecraft.
However, the next moment, their ferocious movements calmed down, as if they had received some order.
When Li Wenyuan also came here, he received a message from humans to stay here:
【—Warning, please do not break into the "hatchery" at will, if you want to enter, please bring items that can prove your identity]
【—Didn’t you hear it? This is the "hatchery"! If you don't leave, you will suffer~]
【—Okay, if you don’t leave until now, you should be someone to rely on, pity my little bugs...】
【Well, I am an expert, my name is... Needless to say? Oh, I see, then call me an expert]
【The ones placed here are actually a group of creatures from outside the galaxy! Didn't expect that? 】
【This kind of powerful biological individual can even travel through the subspace, through the distant and cold cosmic space between the river systems, and come here】
【We were curious about what they would do at first, so we let it go and observed for a while】
【However, we soon discovered that they are very aggressive. The moment they came to the Milky Way, they were constantly gnawing and expanding, as if they would not give up until they swallowed up the entire Milky Way】
【So we "educated" them a little bit, and threw those groups who were unwilling to listen to our teachings back to the subspace, leaving behind a small group that successfully accepted our inspiration】
【Through the conversation, we learned that they seemed to be driven here by a group of more terrifying creatures】
【I didn’t expect that there are so many interesting guys outside the galaxy, maybe we can meet in the future to exchange ideas...】
【It’s far away, I feel sympathy for their tragic experience, so I want to try whether I can cultivate the remaining one into a "civilization" and place them in the "incubator" galaxy]
【Here are five habitable planets that have been artificially transformed by us. I hope that no unlucky ones will colonize this place in the future! 】
