05588-Mech War Bug

Learning and establishing long-term and stable diplomatic relations cannot be a unilateral profit for one party. The main world has learned the technology of the mortal world from this secret realm, so this secret realm should also be able to obtain what this secret realm needs from the main world. For example... if spiritual power is used as an energy source , Combat power is not viewed differently by this secret realm, so what about the longevity function of spiritual power?Immortality is almost a common benefit across time and space, and technology, at least at the research level of the main world, can optimize health and reduce diseases, but it is not enough to fundamentally change the human body.

But what will happen if technology goes far beyond the imagination of the main world?If body parts could be replaced as soon as they failed, if all artificial body parts worked precisely, if artificial bodies could carry memories, souls, and all other seemingly invisible energies, then human life would not be compromised. bound by the body, and then you can achieve immortality in disguise.

Whether such a body, in which all tangible parts are man-made, is considered "alive" is another issue.

Mecha vs. Bugs is playing out in front of my eyes. The venue looks like a bustling street. At least it should have been bustling once, but now most of it has been destroyed by the battle.A few collapsed buildings pinned people down. These people didn't have painful expressions on their faces, but they were a little flustered, but they seemed to be able to control their emotions. Some machines and people were carrying out rescue operations in an orderly manner.

It seems that in order to make room for the rescuers, and in order not to lead the battle to other places with people, the movement of the mecha is quite restrained, so that it can't completely suppress the bug that is twice as tall as the mecha, but roughly It also restricted the worm's movement, and even seemed to be able to do a job with ease.

The worm looks like a large caterpillar, but it has a huge...mouth on its head, which can spray out something like a laser. After colliding with the shells emitted by the mecha, it creates a huge explosion effect.The repeated explosions caused the surrounding buildings to collapse further, but they were not completely destroyed, which shows that the defense level of the buildings is very high, which may be enough to resist small-scale explosions, but it cannot prevent the scene like today.

"That boy over there! Come here! What are you doing standing there stupidly?!"

"Come here, we are saved, don't be afraid, come here, let's get out of here together!"

These two sentences were addressed to me, and I ran to the speaker and explained, "I wasn't here, I opened a door, walked through the door, and here I am. I don't know what happened."

The person who should be the rescuer didn’t answer my words, but said: “Go there, follow the group of people, and don’t fall behind. If you have any injuries, endure it first, and wait until you get on the spaceship. Hurry up and catch up. "

05589-Time Worm

The one who just said to me 'We've been saved' was a rather capable-looking lady, probably in her twenties, she grabbed my wrist and led me to follow the retreaters, saying to me quickly:

"I just solved a space-time worm before. You came here suddenly because the frequency of your original location echoed with that time-space worm. It's okay. Someone will arrange for you to go home after the battle is over."

Me: "Maybe the situation is more serious than you think. In my knowledge, I have never heard of space-time worms, nor have I heard of the worm that is being killed now."

The lady gave me a little surprised look, but after two seconds, her surprise ended and she nodded: "Is it a remote planet? It's okay. Although it may be inconvenient to send you home temporarily if it is too far away, as a victim of the insect attack You will definitely be resettled, of course, after confirming your identity, or if the federation cannot find your identity information, you need to confirm that you are not a worm. After that, you will be given a temporary identity and related living materials, and you can go to the designated area Live until a spaceship comes by your hometown to take you home."

Me: "The Federation... probably doesn't have my information. Except for the purely fictitious stories and some historical materials, I have never heard of this term. Do I have many cases? So many that there are already standardized processing procedures ?”

Ms.: "Many. As long as the space-time worm appears, it will bring several non-federal creatures every time. Humanoid creatures like you are the best case, and the worst is bringing worms. The teleportation of time-space worms ignores defense. Sometimes Sending high-risk bugs into densely populated cities, like this one, is a disaster."

Ms.: "If the rift worm hadn't been teleported by the space-time worm, it would be impossible to land here. Fortunately, the rift worm is not very strong. Otherwise, we might not have time to evacuate at all, and we might all die before we can react."

Me: "Are there many space-time worms?"

Ms.: "There were not many in the past, and one may not appear in ten years, but in recent years, I don't know why, it appears almost every month."

Me: "Besides being able to teleport itself and bring other creatures, does the space-time worm have other powerful skills?"

Ms.: "Based on the published research results, no. Moreover, after launching a teleportation skill, the space-time worm has a recuperation period of about three days. During the recuperation period, it is very fragile and can be easily killed. Find it in the meantime, any grown man could kill it."

05590 - a steady stream

Me: "'As long as you can find it', so it is difficult to find it?"

Ms.: "Yeah, the time-space worms in the recuperation period are very good at hiding. Unless you use professional finding equipment, you may not be able to find it even if you stand in front of the time-space worms. The worst thing is that the updates of the instruments sometimes can't keep up The evolution speed of space-time worms, a useful search tool last month may not be able to find space-time worms next month."

Me: "Even if every space-time worm that sent creatures is found and killed, it seems that more time-space worms are born, lurking, and ready to send more dangers?"

The lady sighed: "Yes, there are endless worms...I often worry that one day human beings will not be able to survive."

I followed the spaceship, and the spaceship announced that it would take us to the safe area for a rest, and we could return to our home after the reconstruction here.Reconstruction will be fast, as the building itself is self-healing - which seems to be one of the basic attributes of modern architecture in this Rift.

The woman I chatted with was Cheng Wenyi, a cadet who was about to graduate.

Cheng Wenyi: "If it weren't for the five-year break from school because of the injury, I would have been on the front line of pest control. The five-year delay made me feel that my whole life would be five years late."

Me: "It takes five years to heal the injury, and it is lucky to survive. If you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing."

Cheng Wenyi: "I hope. But that injury did almost kill me, and being able to survive may be the greatest luck in my life."

Me: "Give away the 'biggest' at the beginning of life?"

Cheng Wenyi laughed and asked, "Pei Lin, what is your hometown like? Your clothes are pretty, but they don't seem suitable for fighting? I don't mean anything else, just curious that you don't have bugs in your place, is it?" Isn't life more pleasant? Or is this dress just your personal hobby?"

Me: "I really like loose clothes, but this clothes will not affect the battle for me. I don't believe we can find a place to learn about it later. Our life there is peaceful and dangerous. Look at the specific way of life. There are also some very dangerous animals, we call those monsters, and some demons, but none of them will pose a fatal threat to human beings as a whole, at most they will cause disasters on a small scale."

Cheng Wenyi nodded, looked at me for a while, and confirmed: "You can fight? I'm talking about fighting, not fitness training."

I was holding a public device—I used it to read various materials after boarding the spaceship. Others have private optical computers, and it seems that they don’t need it—pointing to the spaceship map and asking Cheng Wenyi: "Is this training room available?"

Cheng Wenyi: "The one that is on can be used. Let's go."

05591-Discussion

When we got to the training room, there were already some people in there, and when they saw us coming in, their eyes stayed on us, especially me, for a while.

"A star?" a young man with slightly longer hair—of course much shorter than mine—asked me.

Me: "An outsider whose identity is yet to be confirmed." This is the name I found on the public server.

"A victim of a space-time bug again? How unlucky." A middle-aged man with his upper body naked said.

Cheng Wenyi: "Don't be busy chatting for now, let's discuss, it should be over soon. After the end, talk slowly."

It was indeed over very quickly. In half a minute, my sword rested on Cheng Wenyi's neck.

Cheng Wenyi: "..."

Several people whistled at me.

I withdrew my sword and said to Cheng Wenyi: "The clothes really don't get in the way."

A middle-aged man with a bare upper body asked me: "Is the base material of your space storage items also a space-time worm?"

Me: "No, at least we haven't mentioned space-time worms in our public information. My space items are space attributes constructed under the balance of five elements' spiritual power."

"What balance?"

Me: "Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, these are the five basic elements; spiritual power...is a kind of energy that can be released from the living body."

"Mental strength?"

Me: "I'm not sure if it's the same as your spiritual power here, I haven't had time to read the detailed information on spiritual power."

Cheng Wenyi: "Wait a minute, don't talk, let's fight again. I didn't expect you to suddenly draw such a long sword."

Me: "This is regular length."

One person booed: "It is indeed a sword of normal length."

Cheng Wenyi ignored the others and only started fighting me seriously.The lack of preparation she said just now was not all to save face. After she knew that I could use a sword this time, her coping method changed obviously. Many moves have a restraint effect on the sword.

Me: "What's your usual weapon?"

Cheng Wenyi: "Mecha."

...This is a bit beyond my combat response system, but, "How about you fight me with a mecha? This training room seems to support mecha combat?" I suggested.

Half-naked middle-aged man: "Support, but only for sparring. Hot weapons are strictly prohibited, and lightsabers are not allowed. This spaceship is for civilian use, and its defense strength is limited."

Cheng Wenyi: "If I bring the mecha, can I retreat? I must have stepped forward to help fight. My mecha has been taken for maintenance, and I can get it tomorrow."
