The Collection of The End

——AD.2158.5.26——

Cido IV, Quali Research Building.

Best to run away right away? why?

Conna hasn't figured it out yet, this "connection" has been forcibly ended by Sophie, apparently this exchange has achieved her goal of dragging herself over.

That is, explain clearly the origin of this silver box, warn Kang Na as far as possible not to let it come into contact with smart machines, and reveal the intelligence of the billion-point harvester.

However, she did not say the most critical piece of information, that is, "when will the reaper of reincarnation come this time".

In view of the two "omnic crises" that have occurred between Querry and the Earth, perhaps the day of their arrival is very close.

If they were to analyze based on known conditions, they probably didn't care when the reaper would come. Those behaviors that created the incarnation, guided themselves, and fell into a deep sleep from time to time, seemed to be for a purpose that was more divorced from reality.

However, that kind of thing is naturally not something that Kang Na, a bionic person, should worry about. Her current task, going farther, is to increase the voice of mankind in the Galaxy Alliance as an excellent graduate of N7, and talk closer. , Is to help Saron complete this assessment task.

Although she saved Sarron in Jies’s trial illusion before, he may not even know that he was almost “enlightened” and would naturally not accept this favor. Therefore, “Fire Seed Source” is the trophy this time. There is basically no room for Kang Na to deal with it.

If you let Tu Rui take that thing back, put it in a pile of intelligent machines... Tsk.

The only good news is that Turui seems to be as keen on gaining glory from battle as Proxian, so there shouldn't be too many artificial intelligences to work on its behalf...probably.

【commander! You finally woke up.] Just as Conna regained consciousness, she received a message from Yiti: [Just now all your modules related to thinking and logic have stopped running! 】

Because she was transferred to another place at the time, Kang Na blinked and found that she was still holding the "fire source" posture, so she retracted her hand and stood up.

"Oh, are you awake?" Anderson, who was on guard next to him, seemed to be accustomed to this situation: "I was in a daze for a long time this time. Did you find something and report it directly to the SCP?"

"How long have I... been in a daze? Did anything special happen?" Conna asked two "people" at the same time.

[There is no abnormality, Jies, who was out of control at the periphery, did not wake up again, and it was impossible to observe further away due to wind and sand. ] Yitty responded.

"It didn't take long, I didn't touch that thing when you didn't think you were moving. On the contrary, Saran survived like a fish." Anderson replied.

"It's right that I didn't touch it, this thing is dangerous," Conna opened the storage compartment of the N7 armor and put it in, and then glanced at Salron who had not yet woken up: "We will wait for him to recover before-- "

——After you return to reality, it is best to run away immediately~

Although everything seems to be normal at the "Fire Seed Source", and there is no abnormality and danger on Cido IV, since Sophie has said that, let's run away.

"Xisa, can you determine our location? Send a shuttle to pick us up immediately," Conna connected to Dunkirk's communication: "Yes, it's on the top of this building. The infantry vehicle is left first. No matter, we must leave this planet immediately!"

"Shepard?" Unlike Cicero, who thought there was an emergency, Anderson was very clear that everything was normal at the moment, and asked slightly suspiciously.

"Don't ask, leave here and talk about it," Kang Na mentioned directly about Salron who was still in a coma and walked out: "Take those two Cylarus scientists, you should be able to carry it."

Anderson, who has been partnering with each other for a long time, naturally didn't talk nonsense. He directly mentioned Qian Shu and Carly one by one and followed Conna: "Then wait until you feel suitable."

I didn't say it because I was not sure when it was appropriate.

"[Hi~Does anyone want to send express]?"

When Conna and Anderson trot all the way to the roof of the scientific research building, the Dunkirk frigate broke through the howling sand and appeared in front of them, and Cicero's slightly funny voice also came out along the hanging passage.

"Is your brittle bone disease cured?" Kang Na stepped into the environmental adjustment and quarantine cabin, breathed a sigh of relief, and started joking with Cicero.

"[Commander, you know me, this little sand is like lying in a rocking chair to sleep in the morning~]" Cicero’s voice came from the bulkhead: "[Unless a giant head emerges now Sand Demon, otherwise I won’t even change the size of my pupils.]"

The dilation and contraction of the pupils are not affected by subjective consciousness. I don't know whether this is bragging or seeking truth from facts.

【choke--! 】

Conna was about to make fun of it, but suddenly heard the low roar of some kind of giant beast.

Before she could tell the source of the sound, she saw a huge monster almost the same height suddenly rise from the side of the Quilli Research Building.

The yellowish and fat cylindrical body, almost degenerated to non-existent limbs and eyes, and a bottomless blood basin covered with spiral barbs...what else could it be without a sand devil?

The giant sand demon worm that sprang from the ground clearly rushed towards the Dunkirk, and when it reached the highest point, it closed its big mouth severely, and then bit out.

"[Wudfak! Wudfak!]" Cicero was so frightened that he sweared, his voice trembled.

After a bite, the Sand Demon Worm, which was unable to stand upright, began to slowly dump and smashed directly on the Querian's scientific research building.

This building has been abandoned for nearly three hundred years. It was beaten up by Conna and Salen in it again. The building itself was crumbling. It was hit by a heavy blow that might not be able to resist even if it was intact, and it collapsed almost instantly. In the ruins, the aroused smoke and dust completely covered the Sand Demon insect that had just fallen to the ground.

"[Damn it! You said you had provoke this kind of thing!]" Cicero didn't wait for the quarantine room to be disinfected and pressurized, and directly asked Dunkirk to slowly turn around and try to leave.

"Just turn your head! Don't move!" Kang Na shouted: "Unless you can leave the atmosphere within a few seconds, you will maintain your current altitude!"

"[What?]" Cicero seemed to calm down a bit: "[Did you not see? Just a dozen meters away, the thing bit our boat.]"

"Yes, the Sand Demon Insect himself thinks so too." Kang Na replied in a deep voice.

"【what?】"

"Shepard meant that since it was only so close to bite, then the sand demon must not spend more effort to'jump', it is just a fun," Anderson added: "But If Normandy shows the ability to escape at any time, it will force us to stay at any cost."

"[It seems...this is the case.]"

"Compared to this, how are your pupils?"

"[Ah? What are you talking about? The wind is too strong, I can't hear--]"

【choke--! 】

【choke--! 】

"[Um...what's wrong? Scared!]" When the Sand Demon was happily performing the "high jump", Sarun woke up and saw the closed blood plate mouth in front of him.

"Obviously, that box is not a pure technological creation. It contains a large number of zero elements that can be detected by wild animals," Kang Na replied, standing aside. "If it is moved after activation, the affected wild animals may Will try to keep it."

"[Um...Oh.]" Sarron is worthy of being a "trainee ghost". After hearing what Conna said, he only understood what happened after he was in a coma after a little analysis, and tried to perform deduction: "[In this case , The reason why those Proxians will be destroyed by ordinary corpse puppets is also found-in places we haven't seen, there are giant combat units like this, and their main force has been wiped out seven or eight.]"

"[What? Corpse puppet? Proxian?]" Cicero slowly adjusted the bow, trying to ensure that the short jump would not be disturbed, but was still able to join the conversation distracted.

"There is currently no confirmed and classified confidential information, but if you want to listen, I can tell you, after all, you are a participant." Kang Na glanced at the phone device on the wall.

"[No, don’t let it go, I don’t want to be chased by this kind of thing every day,]" Cicero refused: "[Grab and sit down, we will leave this bug-prone planet like lightning. .]"

"If you plan to do that, remember to change the trajectory once in the air." Conna watched as it drilled out of the surface again, like a mole-like sand monster.

"[Huh?]" Cicero's surprise almost overflowed from the communication device: "[Don't say they will predict.]"

"The Sand Demon has no eyes. It uses touch and hearing to find food." Kang Na glanced out of the window: "This windy sand is probably enough for it to perceive our position."

"[Does this thing have to be refined...]" Cicero muttered, but did not refute the arrangement.

No, it seems that some details have been forgotten.

Conna curled her eyebrows slightly, thinking about Sophie's advice to "run away now".

Since this suggestion is a "reward", in her opinion, there is a chance to escape the planet if you don't run away immediately. Based on this deduction...

I should wait for Sarun to wake up, and then take the fire source and prisoners to the parking place of the infantry vehicle, and finally call the shuttle to return.

In the early stage of this process, since the fire source is moving, the underground sand demon insect may feel wrong, but it will not kill immediately. Then, it should suddenly happen when the shuttle takes off and the fire source shows signs of leaving. Rising from the ground, he bit down the shuttle that was not flying high or fast.

Then, it was a chasing battle that relied on the remains of the building to evade the behemoth that constantly attacked from the ground, and finally boarded the Dunkirk, which was found to be wrong and came to support. In the process, perhaps he and Anderson and Saron is still more likely to survive, but Qian Shu and Carly, the two weak Serraru, are basically dead.

Then, when all the evidence is destroyed and only the "fire source" remains, it will definitely be taken away by the various scientific research departments of the Galaxy Alliance for observation and research, and countless "awakening omnics" will be created. And the "civilized", and eventually lead the way for them when the "reaper" invades.

And what changed all of this was just a sentence "Run away immediately"? This "reward" is too generous.

————

"[Commander, I think it's getting impatient, can we go now?]" Cicero asked Conna as he watched the sand demon jump faster and faster.

"Go, remember to turn." Conna nodded.

Rustling--buzz--

Accompanied by the sound of sand hitting the hull of the ship, in a time when the Sand Demon worm rushed into the air again, the hull of the Dunkirk frigate instantly enveloped a layer of blue light, and began to gradually accelerate in the direction where the bow was aimed.

Sa--

【choke--! 】

The silver-white battleship just turned into a streamer and flew out. The giant sand demon insect that retracted only a few seconds ago leaped into the air at a speed that was completely inconsistent with the previous law of action, with a large jagged tooth. The mouth is blocking its path.

This guy is pretending to be garlic!

At this moment, Conna figured out another thing: when the crew of Dunkirk thought the Sand Demon was playing, it was actually deliberately making the crew think so, and did a good job in Dunkirk. Being paralyzed by this, he directly accelerated his preparations when he was in the way when he left.

From this point of view, its wisdom is not comparable to those of the same kind who can only settle next to the mineral veins rich in the zero element without their brains.

But it is a pity that although the reason is wrong, our response is still higher than it.

"[This kind of action is really unfriendly to patients with brittle bones!]"

With Cicero's weird scream, Dunkirk completed a dangerous and dangerous lightning change when it was about to crash into the sand devil's mouth, and brushed past its viciously closed mouth.

【choke--! ! 】

This time the roar was no longer a template-style roar that was completely unconcerned before, but was full of anger from being put on and the resentment of food slipping away from the mouth.

"I said..." After leaving the gravitational circle of Cido IV, Anderson raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his head, looking at Qian Shu and Carly, who were stunned and stunned. " You have been neighbors with this kind of guy for a long time, what do you think?"

"[I want to go back to be an academic researcher...No one wants me to leave the research institute...]" Qian Shu said dullly.

"[Go and talk to the Castle of God.]" Although Sarun couldn't see anything on the outside, he was obviously not calm, so he choked on him.

"[Wait,]" After Qian Shu fell silent, Carly spoke up instead: "[The teacher’s research results and the venue were all destroyed. Without evidence, you can’t be accused of'researching dangerous technology'. Judge him.]"

Hmm... Yeah, it's all destroyed, Conna touched the storage compartment.

"[Sir~There is public communication access, I'll pick it up for you~]" Cicero yelled deeply while opening a projection on the wall.

"[I am Itami Hada, Batari First Fleet Commander!]" On the screen, a brown creature with six eyes and a toothless mouth said: "[You are Dr. Qian Shu’s ship, right? We will pick up the'device that can control Jies' as agreed!]"
