Interstellar Survival: Invasion

Chapter 302: Devour and Evolve

"What kind of monster is this? I have never seen something like this," said Anxashe. Even an experienced soldier like him couldn't contain his astonishment.

"Baron, Canyue, Bob, we need to come up with a solution to deal with this monster. We can't afford to waste our time here. We haven't even found any information related to the great sovereign yet. We need to leave this place as quickly as possible," said Zhang Xingxing.

"This fiend has an extremely weird body composition. It's like the organs in it are constantly duplicating and separating. Each separated organ will fight the initial organ and devour each other. What is this?" said Baron Sisse doubtfully.

"I believe this is a state of constant and forceful evolution. It is able to forcefully devour itself and evolve internally, resulting in its incredible prowess," said Bob.

"Why would a freak like this exist? It's eating itself to evolve?" I said with a frown.

"This is actually not too surprising. Evolution is an extremely slow process. In order to hasten the process, higher civilizations will take extreme steps. We're looking at one such example," said Temo.

"Perhaps Pluto's environment is too vile, forcing the life forms here to constantly evolve and adapt to it," said Old Du.

"I don't think it's that simple. If it's only for the sake of adapting to the environment, there is no need for such a savage and extreme rate of evolution. I believe there must be a different reason," said Temo.

"I have a guess. Bob said that the fiend of Pluto had appeared after the discovery of the super virus. Perhaps the league had also accidentally released this monster when the super virus was discovered. As for the reason for the monster's extreme evolution, it was probably so that the fiend could resist the even more powerful super virus," said Zhang Xingxing.

One ought to admit that her analysis made sense. All of us nodded in agreement.

"If its constant evolution was caused by the super virus, the two of them are definitely the bane of each other. I have been confused by the absence of the super virus, but now I understand. This is the fiend's territory. The super virus can't enter this place even if it wants to," said Baron Sisse.

Baron Sisse's analysis also made a lot of sense, and we all agreed with this new line of thought.

"If we can make use of this monster, won't it be helpful against the super virus?" Old Du had an abrupt idea.

"You think too much, low-civilization fellow. This is a star-level being. How can you control it?" said Temo.

"Even if it is a high-civilization being, we have Bulu of an even higher level. Even if we can't control a group of these freaks, it should be fine controlling just one," said Old Du.

Using Bulu to control the fiend and use it against the super virus. Only Old Du could come up with an idea so crazy. I hurriedly took Bulu out of my backpack, and I saw that Bulu's dim body was starting to glow brighter. The little fellow seemed to be reacting to our conversation.

"Canyue, what is that fellow planning?" asked Wind Spirit. "It's standing completely still. Is it sleeping? Maybe we can just run while it's sleeping."

"We can't act rashly. Perhaps the fiend is waiting for us to run," Temo disagreed.

"How are you so sure?" asked Wind Spirit.

"Yeah, how are you so sure?" Domo jumped out and voiced his support.

"Do you remember this freak's arrival? It came during the storm. As for the super virus, it lives in ice. One lives in the sky while one lives under the ground. I believe the sky is the fiend's domain. Thus, it must have set up a trap, waiting for us to take off into the sky," said Temo.

"You mean to say that we won't be able to escape through the sky?" asked Zhang Bao'er with a sneer.

"I think that big fellow's idea is worth trying," said Temo as he pointed at Old Du, showing his support for the plan of using Bulu to control the fiend.

Seeing that even Temo was in favor of using Bulu, Zhang Xingxing started to agree to the idea. At that point, the pressure landed on my shoulders.

"Canyue, why don't we let Bulu give it a try?" said Zhang Bao'er.

"I want to try as well, but this fellow might not necessarily listen to me. I feel that it is currently still in its slumbering state. I am not confident I can fully wake it up," I said helplessly.

Looking at the dim glow coming from Bulu's body, who looked like it was in a half-asleep state, everyone accepted my words.

"Is there a way for us to communicate better with Bulu? We don't have a lot of time. We urgently need to communicate with Bulu," asked Zhang Xingxing.

"Communication with Bulu generally happens when your mind is under control. We need to lose our consciousness if we want to talk to Bulu," I said.

"And how can you achieve that?" asked Zhang Xingxing.

"We can let Canyue sleep. He won't be able to control his mind when sleeping," said Dodo.

"And how can we make Li Canyue fall asleep quickly?" asked Zhang Xingxing.

"I can't sleep. I just woke up. How am I supposed to fall asleep again?" I said.

After I said that, everyone looked at me with an odd expression, seemingly at a loss by the sudden stubbornness I was displaying.

"I can help," a voice rang out loudly. When I looked back, it was Domo.

"For us Jidos, sleeping is nothing hard," said Domo confidently.

"Pfft. Just a cheap trick," said Temo with a sneer.

"Say that again. I'll tear you apart," Domo raged.

Naturally, Zhang Xingxing wouldn't let a fight break out during such a crucial moment. She signaled Old Du with her eyes, and he stepped forth to stop Domo.

"Let's return to the topic. Domo, how can you make me sleep? Do it," I said, urging Domo for the sake of completing the mission as quickly as possible.

"We'll settle our score later," said Domo before taking out a blue pill.

"What is that? Is it poisonous? Why is a sleeping pill so brightly colored?" questioned Temo.

"Use it if you want. I don't care. I'm in a bad mood," said Domo.

An awkward silence descended. The grudge between Domo and Temo was much deeper than we thought. But to hasten the progress of our mission, I did not hesitate to take the blue pill from Domo. The moment the pill entered my mouth, I lost consciousness.

"Canyue, wake up," a voice rang out softly.

I opened my eyes and saw Zhang Xingxing calling to me. I hurriedly sat up and saw that I was inside a white room.

"Commander, why are you also in the dreamland? Did you take the blue pill too?" I asked.

"Yes. This mission is too important. I was worried that it would be difficult for you to do this alone, so I took a blue pill to help you," said Zhang Xingxing.

"That's too risky. Where are we? Where's Bulu?" I asked. I did not agree that she should take the risk and join me in the dreamland.

"You had awakened me and forcefully entered the mind-communication mode with me," Bulu's voice rang out.

"Bulu, where are you? Come on out. Why are you hiding?" I complained.

"I still can't show myself, but I can communicate with both of you at the same time," replied Bulu.

"Fine. Since you're so amazing, you should already be aware of the difficult situation we're in. Can you control that fiend?" I asked.

"I already did it. As for whether it is willing to work with you, that will rely on your talk with it," said Bulu.

"I need to talk with it? How and where?" I asked.

"Behind the sole door in this room. Beyond that door is a separate space. Your so-called fiend is waiting there," said Bulu. Hearing Bulu's words, I became nervous.

"Canyue, don't worry. I'll go with you," said Zhang Xingxing.

"No, you can't. Li Canyue must go alone. That fellow's mental current is too powerful. I can only keep it contained for a short period of time. Canyue, you need to finish talking to it as quickly as possible. This is the only help I can give you," said Bulu firmly.

Since Bulu had already made it so clear, I decided to meet the star-level creature myself.

"Canyue, prioritize your safety. I'll be on standby here. Release a signal the moment you encounter danger," said Zhang Xingxing.

"Don't worry. We're all communicating with our minds. In this form, we don't yet know who's stronger. Let me meet that monster and see what's so special about it," I said, feigning indifference to alleviate Zhang Xingxing's worry.

"Are you ready yet? You're wasting time," Bulu urged me again. This was my first time seeing Bulu so nervous. It was clear this fiend was not a simple opponent. At that thought, I arranged my thoughts and prepared to meet with the powerful monster.
