273. Chapter 273: Early Feedback

Four days later.

"Yun Ni" arrived at the star system where the 3rd-level Zerg World is located.

Because of the previous encounter, they took some detours and delayed some time, one day later than last time.

Although Lady Lisandra claimed that she had already swept the 3rd-level Zerg World once and swept all the intruders out.

But Sandra didn't believe this easily and let the "Yun Ni" land rashly.

The "Yun Ni" still hovered in a star field where it could advance or retreat, and this time, the micro-legion did not move out immediately.

Sandra first sent a large number of reconnaissance wizard tools out to scout the situation of the 3rd-level Zerg World in detail.

People always have to progress, learn from mistakes.

The 11 members of the micro-legion each received a portion of the reconnaissance wizard tools to control.

Lin Ke sat in the operating position, looking at the 3rd-level Zerg World where the terrain and topography had changed somewhat, and doubts flashed in his heart.

Don't know why, this time coming to the 3rd-level Zerg World, before landing, Lin Ke felt something was wrong.

This wrong feeling is not to say there is a crisis, but that something is wrong with the planet in front of him.

Last time, even if there were signs of decline, it would never be like this, like a decaying old man in his twilight years.

As long as there is a slightly high-power attack, such as Annihilation Light, it will be wiped out.

The feeling it gave Lin Ke was more like the predecessor of the "Small World," that broken world.

"What happened?"

Muttering to himself, Lin Ke couldn't figure it out.

"Lin Ke, I have a discovery."

Molly's voice sounded in Lin Ke's heart.

This is also the ability shared by the "God-Eater Insect" cubs, similar to the "Mind Link" of a True Spirit Wizard.

The prerequisite for using this ability is that Lin Ke gives permission.

Otherwise, Molly cannot transmit her heart voice to Lin Ke, and after the link is established, listen to Lin Ke's heart voice.

"What discovery?"

Lin Ke asked back in his heart.

"The silkworm baby told me that it sensed the breath of its own kind, and it was an elderly 'God-Eater Insect'!"

Molly said in a gloomy tone.

"Elderly 'God-Eater Insect'?"

Lin Ke was greatly shocked.

The development of the "God-Eater Insect" depends on two things: eating and sleeping.

Both of these will naturally increase with the accumulation of time.

Unless it's an individual case, an elderly "God-Eater Insect" means the strongest.

Lin Ke immediately asked: "How is the strength?"

If the elderly "God-Eater Insect" sensed by the silkworm baby has not lost its strength, the micro-legion's return this time is to send snacks to it.

Molly replied: "The silkworm baby said it is dying, only has one breath left, and has no combat ability."

Lin Ke still didn't feel relieved, thought about it, and said: "Tell me the coordinates, I will scout it."

"Okay."

Molly immediately told Lin Ke the location of the elderly "God-Eater Insect" sensed by the silkworm baby.

Coincidentally, it happened to fall into the area Lin Ke was responsible for scouting.

Lin Ke immediately mobilized several reconnaissance wizard tools to conduct a carpet search of the area.

Sure enough, he discovered some anomalies that were not discovered during the previous initial screening.

"How are everyone's scouting results? If there is no problem, we are going to land."

After Sandra ordered the Tower Spirit to fetch protective life-support suits that were even higher-end than last time, she clapped her hands and asked loudly.

"No problem."

"The situation is quite good, no problem."

"I think we can land."

Except for Lin Ke and Molly, others spoke up one after another.

Lin Ke said in a deep voice: "I discovered some anomalies here."

A team must have the appearance of a team.

Hiding the situation is not a good thing, it is easy to make mistakes.

So Lin Ke told the truth.

"What anomalies?"

Sandra immediately projected the real-time image of Lin Ke's operating position smart brain screen onto the huge screen, so that everyone could see it.

"Here."

Lin Ke controlled the operating position smart brain and drew an area on the real-time image, "There is a suspected high-energy reaction here. After close-range reconnaissance, it was found that there seem to be high-level Zerg active here."

Saying this was entirely to avoid exposing Molly's silkworm baby.

"Increase the scanning intensity."

Sandra looked at the area marked by Lin Ke for a while, confirmed it was true, and issued an order to the Tower Spirit.

"Understood."

The Tower Spirit accepted the order, immediately mobilized the reconnaissance system of the "Yun Ni," opened all modes, and conducted a thorough large scan.

Not long after, the scanning results came out.

The processed images appeared on the huge screen, causing a gasp.

The elderly "God-Eater Insect," whose body size was comparable to the "Yun Ni," lay in a pile of dust, like a low hill, very inconspicuous.

At this time, the Tower Spirit attached the information about the "God-Eater Insect" in the database next to the image and gave its judgment.

Elderly "God-Eater Insect," about to reach the end of its life, although its strength is not one in ten thousand, its danger is still relatively high.

It is recommended to kill it first, then land.

Sandra considered it for a while, rejected the Tower Spirit's suggestion, and changed it to imprison it first, and if that doesn't work, then kill it.

However, Sandra did not "make the decision alone," but fully exerted the democratic spirit and asked for the members' opinions.

Lin Ke did not oppose this operation, provided that the "Yun Ni" has the means to imprison the elderly "God-Eater Insect."

After obtaining the overall consent of the members, Sandra let the Tower Spirit execute the imprisonment order.

A moment later, a metal cage descended from the sky under precise guidance, expanded and enlarged, framing the dying elderly "God-Eater Insect" within it.

The elderly "God-Eater Insect" had no reaction to this at all.

It was already dying, only had one last breath left, and might die if it moved slightly.

It was too lazy to move.

Living one more second is one more second.

After dealing with the elderly "God-Eater Insect," there were no more obstacles in the 3rd-level Zerg World that could block the micro-legion from landing.

Taking the shuttle, the 12 people wearing high-end protective life-support suits quickly landed from the "Yun Ni" in outer space to the surface of the 3rd-level Zerg World.

"Everyone, remember the task route."

This time, Sandra did not master the task route alone, but issued it to everyone in advance.

Let the legion members have an intuitive understanding of where they are going first, what they are doing first, where they are going later, and what they are doing later.

Not like last time, walking one step, looking one step, not knowing the next step.

"Set off."

After everyone had read the route once, Sandra led the team to set off.

The first location was still a Zerg settlement.

This settlement was also lifeless, and no Zerg had lived in it for a long time.

Lin Ke was responsible for advance reconnaissance, eliminating dangers, and alerting, together with 6 children of the great families of the Academy Headquarters.

Molly, Lanny, Tina, and Fried carried out ecological research.

Under Gerald's leadership, the other 5 children of the great families also chose to obey Lin Ke's command.

Either actively or passively, Lin Ke had replaced Gerald's position as the combat group leader.

Sandra took this scene into her eyes and didn't express anything.

By now, Sandra had already realized why she said she wanted to join "Do Whatever Is Free" before.

However, even knowing that there were signs of her mother's intervention and it was not entirely her own will, Sandra did not choose to go back on her word.

Thinking about it, Sandra walked to Lin Ke's side and said in a low voice: "I said joining 'Do Whatever Is Free' before was not a joke."

Lin Ke replied seriously: "I welcome you to join 'Do Whatever Is Free,' also not a joke."

After coming to the Academy Headquarters for further studies, the "Do Whatever Is Free" constitution updated by Lin Ke and Molly in their spare time had already made "Do Whatever Is Free" public from the top-level design.

It was no longer "Do Whatever Is Free" that belonged to Lin Ke alone.

The decision-making layer has 7 seats, elected; the executive layer is also elected, but must be approved by the decision-making layer and publicized internally;

Ordinary members are still strictly entered and loosely exited.

Roughly like this, there are many details, not to mention.

This top-level design determines from the root that wanting to engage in dictatorship within "Do Whatever Is Free" is basically unworkable.

If it's really done excessively, ordinary members can just leave.

"Okay."

Sandra nodded, didn't say anything more, and went to patrol elsewhere.

"You really dare to accept her!"

Gerald beside him asked in surprise, "Do you know what accepting her will bring you?"

"What's there not to dare?"

Lin Ke certainly knew that Sandra's identity was special, and many people were paying attention to her every move.

Suddenly hearing that she joined a small organization that was not well-known, even if this small organization was very energetic and potential, it would still cause a huge uproar.

Many people didn't dare to question Sandra, but they dared to make things difficult for Lin Ke Grand.

At that time, what Lin Ke would face might be monstrous waves and endless troubles.

Thinking this way, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ke's mouth: "Let the storm come more violently."

Feeling the high spirits and excitement emanating from Lin Ke, Gerald had nothing to say.

Every super genius has a temperament and their own pride.

Talent, diligence, strength, and temperament are indispensable.

Gerald knew he couldn't persuade him, and there was no need to persuade him, so he closed his mouth and remained silent and alert.

Lin Ke also didn't say anything more.

Nearly an hour passed, and the research group finished all the sampling and testing work.

No Zerg team came to disturb, and this sampling and testing was more comprehensive and in-depth than the last time.

The micro-legion quickly turned to the next destination, a small settlement where there were still sporadic Zerg activities.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out and stopped immediately.

The weak Zerg faced the fully armed and powerful wizards, had no power to resist, and were all captured alive.

Considering the inexplicable curse and parasitism last time, this time, no one had direct contact with the Zerg.

The captured Zerg were separated and locked into several different cages, and were directly transported to the "Yun Ni" by the shuttle summoned by Sandra.

After screening and confirming that there were no hidden dangers, they would be enabled to conduct various inspections, tests, and even live research.

This small settlement still had some surviving Zerg eggs that were not sent to the incubation pool in time, and were also found by the micro-legion.

Out of the instinct of a researcher, when Lin Ke carefully observed these Zerg eggs, the "Small World" actually emitted a tremor and desire.

What the "Small World" desires are all good things that can help it evolve.

After absorbing the core of the exhausted world, the gap in the material level of the fourth evolution has been filled.

The opportunity for the fifth evolution has not yet arrived.

Logically speaking, the "Small World" is now in a state of being too full and not yet digested.

It is impossible to have desire for anything else.

But it happened to have such a reaction when encountering these Zerg eggs.

What does this represent?

It represents that these Zerg eggs have problems, big problems!

Seeing Lanny directing the transport puppets, preparing to transport these Zerg eggs.

Lin Ke spoke in time: "Wait a minute, don't rush to move. I feel these Zerg eggs are not simple."

"How not simple?"

This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Sandra asked directly.

"Not clear yet, intuition."

Lin Ke told the truth.

He was indeed not clear yet, if it weren't for the "Small World" tremor, he wouldn't have discovered that these Zerg eggs were different.

"Need to do something?"

Sandra asked again.

"Do nothing for now, I'll take another look."

Lin Ke answered frankly.

"Okay."

Sandra was not disappointed by this, directing everyone who had focused their attention here to return to their posts and perform their duties.

Giving Lin Ke research space.

"Let me see, what is so special about you."

Squatting in front of the Zerg eggs, Lin Ke didn't use instruments, put his perception ability to the maximum, and "scanned" the Zerg eggs over and over again.

At the same time, Flandre was also fully communicating with the "Small World" source, wanting to figure out what it was desiring.

A moment later, both of them made discoveries at the same time.

The "Small World" source told Flandre that it was desiring the special radiation that it had also sensed last time.

Lin Ke discovered that there was an extremely subtle and extremely obscure radiation fluctuation inside the Zerg eggs.

Last time, Lin Ke inferred that there might be a radiation source that promotes Zerg evolution.

At that time, it was still the born Zerg individuals who were irradiated by the radiation source, forcibly screening out the surviving evolved individuals.

Thus causing many settlements to become empty of Zerg, lifeless.

Lin Ke had to sigh, the adaptability of the Zerg is really strong.

Direct irradiation, the mortality rate is too high?

Then start from when they are still in the Zerg eggs, accept the irradiation of the radiation source, and adapt in advance.

In this way, the successfully born Zerg naturally have more resistance, can better withstand the irradiation of the radiation source, and the probability of successful evolution is greater.

After figuring this out, Lin Ke added a goal for this trip in his heart: get a radiation source.

He wanted to see what changes would happen after the "Small World" absorbed the radiation source.

"Need isolation and containment."

Lin Ke stood up, told Sandra his inference, and gave suggestions.

"Hmm."

Sandra nodded to Lanny who was waiting on the side.

Lanny immediately took out the isolation and containment device from the space storage wizard tool, directed the transport puppets, and put the Zerg eggs into the isolation and containment device one by one.

Suddenly, Lin Ke remembered the live Zerg egg he found in a pile of dead Zerg eggs last time, and asked: "What was the test result of that Zerg egg last time?"

Sandra replied briefly: "Dead."

Lin Ke understood in seconds.

The activity of that Zerg egg was already very low, the environment changed suddenly, even if life force was constantly supplemented, it was difficult to escape the ending of death.

Since Sandra didn't mention the test results much, it proved that there was nothing to mention.

The research on this small settlement ended quickly.

The micro-legion cleaned up the aftermath and set off to the next destination.

During the rest, Molly found Lin Ke and transmitted: "Lin Ke, I need to collect some specific resources, which are needed for the cultivation of the brood mother seeds."

"Is the quantity large?"

"Large."

Lin Ke thought about it and replied: "I'll go talk to Sandra."

Molly shook her head: "I'll go myself."

After saying this, Molly disconnected the heart voice link and went directly to Sandra.

The anti-eavesdropping rune barrier played a role.

Even Lin Ke didn't hear clearly what Molly and Sandra said, let alone others.

Could only see Sandra's face change, as if a bit resentful, but it was clearly not directed at Molly.

After the anti-eavesdropping rune barrier was lifted, Sandra's face had returned to normal.

And a flash of joy flashed in Molly's eyes.

"How?"

Lin Ke asked Molly who walked back to his side directly.

"Sandra has already transferred another shuttle and some mining puppets from the 'Yun Ni' to help me dig for resources elsewhere."

Molly replied, "She emphasized that since she has become a member of 'Do Whatever Is Free,' she should give help to the development of the organization and other members."

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded, didn't say anything more.

Agreeing to let Sandra join "Do Whatever Is Free," aren't the benefits coming?

Not just trouble!
