Chapter 445 Golden Mist
Above the surface of Sprague, a large number of aircraft shuttled back and forth, each aircraft maintained a certain height above the ground, and continuously released a signal wave while flying.
Because of the special environment of Sprague, the aircraft must maintain a certain height to perfectly transmit the signal wave to the coverage area on the ground.
If it were not for the limitation of the environment, these operations could be completed in space, and it would be faster and more convenient.
At this moment, at the bottom of a mountain, the equipment in a cave suddenly flashed slightly, and then with a "creak", the entire hatch protruded a few points, and a few seconds later, with a loud "bang", the hatch fell directly to the ground.
In the cabin, Li Ming still sat quietly, his eyes slowly opened.
At this time, the breath on Li Ming's body was very different, and he had entered the second interval of the first-level civilization, the 1.5-level civilization.
The delicate tissues around Li Ming had dried up, like hay, and there was still green smoke coming out of the cabin, like an electrical appliance that had just burned out due to a short circuit.
The entire device had been used to the limit by Li Ming.
Ordinary civilization advancement from level 1.3 to level 1.5 requires eleven Flowing Cloud Powers, but Li Ming needs thirty-three. In addition to the eighteen provided by Cottrell, Li Ming also contributed fifteen.
With his eyes slightly open, Li Ming stood up from the cabin. Just as Li Ming stood up, there was a "thump" sound, and something fell from the top of Li Ming's head.
Li Ming looked back, his face was suddenly enlightened, and he whispered: "Really... I almost forgot about you."
At this time, on the dry fluff on the floor of the cabin, Moore's eyes were white, foaming at the mouth, his mouth was open, and his body was twitching.
Li Ming carefully picked up Moore, stroked his feathers gently with his hands for a few times, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
As he spoke, he shook his cloak and took Moore into it.
Then he continued to walk out.
Li Ming's advancement to level 1.5 civilization is naturally inseparable from Moore's great help. It is definitely not enough to rely on this equipment alone. Moore has been absorbing energy in Shanhai Hengyunshang and has grown a lot. His ability to assist advancement has been strengthened.
However, Li Ming's advancement just now also made Moore reach his limit.
After walking out of the advancement cabin, Li Ming's eyes turned directly to the entrance of the cave. A blue barrier blocked there, completely isolating the inside and outside of the cave.
He walked over quickly, waved his right hand, and the blue barrier disappeared directly. Outside the cave was a spacious cave hall. At this time, Cottrell was busy in front of the experimental table, and I don't know what he was doing.
Li Ming was about to walk over, but his figure suddenly paused, and his eyes glanced to his right. He saw two people sitting in front of the meteorite table before, which were Alvarez and Aitchison.
Li Ming was not unfamiliar with these two people, but Li Ming was very unfamiliar to them.
Li Ming's appearance attracted the continuous attention of the two people, and their attention was always on Li Ming.
Cottrell said without looking back: "We are all here. It's finally time to start."
While speaking, Cottrell continued to operate.
Li Ming's eyes also turned slightly, looking at Cottrell, and said: "It seems that I can leave first."
Cottrell paused after hearing this, but smiled slightly after hesitating for two seconds, and said: "Yes, I almost forgot that you are a little different now, so... let's start."
Li Ming smiled lightly and left quickly.
Walking in the dark cave until he disappeared from the portal, Cottrell looked at the place where Li Ming disappeared, then paused, looked at Acheson and Alvarez, and said: "You should also prepare."
Alvarez didn't say much, glanced at Acheson beside him, and then got up and left.
About this plan Li Ming had discussed it in detail with Cottrell before, and on that basis, Alvarez and the other two were added, which were naturally included in the plan.
This is equivalent to a three-party cooperation, but Cottrell and Alvarez don't know that Li Ming also has a purpose for this trip, which is for Gabi. Only Li Ming knows about the rescue of Gabi.
According to the signal information released by the three major star systems, Gabi and Biggs will be executed the next morning after the information is released.
According to the plan of Li Ming and Cottrell, Cottrell is responsible for the frontal attack, Alvarez is responsible for the flank attack, and Li Ming is responsible for rescuing people.
Of course, this is also very consistent with the purpose of Li Ming's trip.
Under the night sky, Li Ming walked forward, still thinking about the details of the plan in his mind.
After all, it is facing the three major star systems, and the purpose of the other party's execution of Gabi and Biggs this time is to lure Li Ming and Cottrell to show up. Since it is a carefully planned preparation, it must not be that simple.
Li Ming must make more adequate preparations beyond the original plan.
There is still some time before dawn. In the desert north of Jiuyi Land, two platforms more than ten meters high are placed in front of the construction area of a base.
The platform was made entirely of metal, like a round stone pillar, and a spaceship was parked steadily in the sky above the platform, emitting beams of light constantly, like a searchlight illuminating the surroundings.
This was where the three galaxies executed Gabi and Biggs.
It was relatively quiet at this time, without much anomaly, but it was this calm atmosphere that made people feel quite uneasy.
Although this base is located in a plain desert, there are mountains several kilometers outside the base. The semicircular mountain terrain is like a groove in the mountain, and the base is built in it.
The advantage of this terrain is that the base is surrounded by plains and deserts, and there are few rocks. If someone wants to get close, they can be discovered at the first time.
But the disadvantage is that once you enter and rescue someone and escape to the mountains, it will be relatively complicated to chase and capture them.
At this moment, Li Ming is in the mountains west of the base.
The east, north, and west of the base are all mountains, only a few kilometers away from the base. The south is a desert plain, which is also the front of the base. As for why the base is set up here, it is difficult to see the reason for a while.
Li Ming walked in the mountains to the west, approaching the base little by little.
When he came to the edge of the mountains, Li Ming stopped at the top of a mountain and looked up. There were still several kilometers of unobstructed desert plains on the edge of the mountains away from the base, which would be the biggest obstacle to approaching the base.
The base at the moment is not simple. Under Li Ming's wisdom eyes, the whole base is shrouded in a layer of hazy gray light. This gray light is very weak, wrapping the whole base in it. The shadow of this gray light can be seen in all directions, in the sky and on the ground.
There is a weak energy in the gray light, which is a kind of barrier. This barrier is not a physical barrier, but a perception barrier. As long as an unrecognizable biological civilization enters, it will be discovered immediately.
And this barrier is also very hidden. If it weren't for the wisdom eyes, Li Ming might not be able to detect this barrier.
"Perception barrier... but... how to enter?"
Li Ming frowned slightly, staring at the distance, looking around, and began to think seriously.
After watching for a while, Li Ming slowly leaned over and sat down, waved his right hand, and raised his palm up beside him. The wind and sand kept blowing past Li Ming's side. His arms and palms could clearly sense the breeze passing by the surface of his body, just like someone was touching his body.
The wind blew from the west where Li Ming was to the east. Sandstorms exist all year round on Sprague Star, so it was not surprising. Li Ming felt the wind direction and looked towards the base in the distance.
The base was brightly lit. A large number of alien soldiers and aircraft were stationed in the building area in the west. The base here was not a castle with four walls, but there were more patrol soldiers in the outer area of the building.
Because there was a perception barrier, other facilities did not need to be paid too much attention.
Watching with both eyes, Li Ming suddenly shook his sleeves, and a golden object appeared in Li Ming's hand. This object looked like a tooth, which was the magic-horned golden fungus beast in Li Ming's Hengyunshang.
Under the nourishment of the energy in Hengyunshang, the golden fungus beast grew well, advancing from the original eighth-level wild beast to the current 1.2-level wild beast.
But the most important thing is the change in the ability of the golden fungus beast, which had been revealed before on Isaiah Star. The golden fungus beast has the ability to infect civilized creatures, which is completely different from the previous infection of wild beasts.
However, the infection of the Golden Fungus Beast is not a virus or a fatal infection, but only erodes the spirit and consciousness of the target. This point was also fully highlighted on the alien planet.
Li Ming summoned this beast now, with the purpose of using the golden fungus it released to control those low-level soldiers.
Holding the Golden Fungus Beast in his palm and feeling the wind direction, the blue halo on Li Ming's palm flickered slightly. He looked at the beast and said, "Now, I can only ask you for help."
As he spoke, the blue light on Li Ming's palm became stronger.
The blue light is Li Ming's energy control. Li Ming must ensure that the golden fungus released by the Golden Fungus Beast can be blown into the distant base through the wind direction. This is very critical and important.
The golden fungus on the surface of the Golden Fungus Beast is automatically released. The golden fungus cooperates with Li Ming's energy and dissipates directly in the air along the sandstorm, drifting to the distant base.
The long horns of the Golden Fungus Beast twisted slightly on Li Ming's palm. Every time it moved, a large number of golden fungi would fly into the air. This is invisible to the naked eye, but Li Ming's wisdom is an accident.
Under his eyes, the golden fungus was like golden particles floating in the wind. It entered the base in less than a moment. The whole air seemed to be filled with golden breath, making the night sky sparkle with golden light, which was very beautiful.
But this kind of beauty could not be appreciated by others.
Li Ming looked into the distance. The golden mist had covered most of the western area of the base. Seeing this scene, Li Ming smiled faintly.
