End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 261: First Contact, Dragon Lizardmen, and the Galaxy Situation

"Should we launch a surprise attack and catch them off guard, or negotiate with them?"

Lin Feng spoke in sign language and gestured with both hands, not daring to breathe.

He was afraid that he would be noticed by the group of lizardmen a kilometer away, so he was alert and on guard.

Now Lin Feng and others are hiding in the dark, while the enemy is in the open. As long as the timing is right, even if there is a certain gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides, they can catch the other side off guard.

In a situation like this where neither party knows each other very well, the best approach is to control the other party first, thereby effectively reducing one's own risk.

Lin Feng has watched many science fiction movies and is familiar with the so-called "dark forest" law in the universe.

So he didn't have much hope for the dragon clan.

If there had not been the invasion of the alien Zerg, the most likely destination for this group of pioneers who have adapted to wandering the universe would have been to reoccupy the Blue Planet.

Expel and even enslave all of humanity.

Just like in science fiction works, humans are treated as a delicious meal and raised like pigs.

Now that there are Zerg in outer space to contain their arrival, it is possible for both sides to have an equal dialogue.

So Lin Feng was a little hesitant.

This contact across time and space is likely to affect the subsequent consciousness and cognition of both parties, whether it is friendly or hostile, as well as a series of negotiations.

However, Lin Feng, a rookie, had little contact with foreigners of the same kind and was not good at this.

So he threw the question to the person in front of him.

As a cosmic race, they rule the Small Magellanic Cloud, have attacked and invaded countless star systems, and have encountered countless alien civilizations. They have far more experience than humans in how to contact foreign races.

After understanding Lin Feng's meaning, Long Yi activated the arm guard on his wrist and entered the full body armor form of tiger armor, wrapping the upper and lower parts tightly.

Then he whispered:

"Of course it's the second one. We still have to find Qin Hu and borrow the power of the dragon clan to resist the invasion of the Zerg."

"But we should first understand the other party's intentions. Besides, we only have eleven people left, and there are only two awakened people at the peak of the second level. The other party can enter the Land of the End from King Kai's body..."

"There are at least hundreds of trial participants. Even if we can seriously injure the few in front of us, who knows if there are other similar dragon lizards in other places nearby."

"After we attract the other party's attention, you and I will go to negotiate. The remaining nine genetic warriors, stay alert and evacuate immediately if anything goes wrong."

As he spoke, Ling Yi released his spiritual energy again, cast a layer of shield on the nine people, and continued to explain:

"If they have already reached the peak strength of the second stage, they will not be able to master the Zerg's artistic conception. They can only temporarily parasitize the artistic conception on a certain part of their body to disguise themselves and deceive the Zerg in the real world."

"So this group of lizard dragons don't have the same urgent need to kill the king spiny worms as we do."

“They are more about exploration than plunder.”

As long as there is no direct conflict of interest, there is a possibility for both parties to communicate and further cooperate.

After clarifying this logical relationship, subsequent actions can be carried out normally.

Lin Feng nodded and understood what Long Yi meant.

Then, following her command, he stood fully armed on the obsidian in front of him, standing out extremely in the end place where huge rocks stood.

In fact, as soon as the dragonfly started speaking, the unusual frequency of the sound vibration had already alerted the dragon lizard in the distance.

As peak second-level powerhouses, their various sensory organs are stronger than humans, especially hearing and touch. With the help of advanced technology, they can keep an eye on all directions and hear all directions.

Seeing the unknown creatures appear on their own initiative, they turned around, activated their shields, raised the energy cannons installed on their arms, and locked onto Lin Feng and his party.

Long Yi mobilized his spiritual energy, spoke the common language of the Milky Way, and stepped forward to greet people.

Her words carried spiritual power. As long as there were evolvers with spiritual abilities in the opposing team, they would be able to understand the meaning of Long Yi's words by analyzing the energy frequency:
"One of our team members got lost here. Was he taken away by you?"

As soon as Long opened his mouth to transmit the message, the other party quickly responded with a hoarse rustling sound.

On the neck below its head, there is a device that automatically translates the roar from its throat into the universal language of the galaxy as spoken by Lingyi.

After listening, Long Yichao explained to Lin Feng beside him:

"Qin Hu was not found by them. He was taken away by another dragon lizard team."

"But they are willing to negotiate with us and share information about the End of the Land."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Are we going over there now?"

Lingyi: "Let's go, they will send people over too."

The two men put down their armor-piercing cannons, walked forward about 500 meters, and stopped when they were less than 20 meters apart.

Stand on two huge rocks and start a conversation.

The dragon lizard team on the opposite side had a total of six members, and two of them came over at this time to negotiate.

After close observation, Lin Feng discovered that these prehistoric civilizations that ruled Blue Star had already achieved a highly evolved level, and were completely different from the dinosaur fossils dug up from various parts of Blue Star.

They have different body sizes and tastes, and the personalized stickers on the equipment they wear show their different personalities.

Their intelligence is no less than that of humans.

At this moment, there were two dragon lizards in front of the two of them, one big and one small. The big one was more than five meters tall, close to six meters, and the small one had blue-green scales. The lizard features were more obvious, with an extremely smooth head and no fangs or spikes. It looked more like the skinks that still existed on the blue planet.

The way he looked at everyone seemed to be filled with not only curiosity and vigilance, but also a hint of desire.

The taller and stronger dragon-lizard man beside it has a head with more dinosaur features, and its body is covered with hard skin. It seems to be stronger than the lizard man beside it.

The dragon lizard man waved his big hand and patted the long-necked head of his teammate next to him, asking it to adjust the communication equipment.

Soon, after a conversation between Lingyi and their ground grunts, the two sides got to know each other and confirmed that they had no ill intentions towards each other.

He then waved his hand to ask his teammates who were on guard with cannons not far behind him to lower their aiming guns.

Lin Feng remained silent, but his whole body was tense, constantly observing the expressions and movements of the two dragon lizardmen in front of him, and if anything was wrong...

He would then pick up Longyi and fly away quickly.

At least from the current point of view, the opponent does not have the ability to fly. Lin Feng and the nine genetic warriors under his command have an absolute advantage in mobility.

Fortunately, after some communication, the two sides were very harmonious.

Since Lin Feng couldn't understand the so-called universal language of the Milky Way, he couldn't get a word in even if he wanted to.

It was not until the two sides finished their discussion and turned to leave that Ling Yi began to translate what they had just discussed:
"They are the mid-level weapons personnel of the fleet. There are six survivors in the team. Due to the integrity of the formation, they were sent with other teams to explore the End of the World outside the space rift in the Trial World to obtain more information about the alien Zerg..."

"It has been confirmed that Blue Planet is the ancestral planet where they were born and where the dinosaur fossils you dug up were originally from."

Lin Feng was not surprised at all, he was related to another matter:

“Didn’t you ask why they left in the first place?”

Ling Yi shook his head:
"The dragon lizards are rather evasive about these things, so I didn't ask in detail. The one that arrived on Blue Planet this time was a vanguard of theirs, which was the outer spacecraft you saw when you flew above the stratosphere when you first arrived at the northern capital."

"That is their advance exploration warship."

"It's a pity that they were discovered by the fourth-level king and crashed." "They have a general understanding of the situation on Blue Planet."

"I am actually shocked by the evolution and development of you, the synapsids, or more precisely, the mammals."

"Although this is also related to the Zerg invasion, just like colonization, it can also stimulate the development of the local backward civilization from another perspective."

"However, the human race has already entered the stage of quasi-evolutionary civilization. It will only take a few thousand or tens of thousands of years for the era of universal evolution to begin."

Lin Feng shrugged, not impressed.

This is just a macro-level statement from those in high positions. The impact of the great changes of the times on individuals is often devastating. Judging from the current situation of human habitat and population decline, the trauma can never be healed.

The two sides have become enemies until one of them is exterminated or expelled from the solar system.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and said unhappily:

"Let's get to the point. How are they going to send Qin Hu back?"

The corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled lightly:
"The captain of the dragon lizard who negotiated with me has asked his engineer to contact the nearby exploration team and send Qin Hu over."

"At present, Qin Hu is still alive and well."

"Our team is not worth capturing. They can see that we are not original consciousness entities. Even if they arrest or kill us, it will not have much impact on their original entities."

"This time, several third-level commanders of their warships did not enter the Land of End out of caution to prevent their own intelligence from being leaked."

After listening to what Long Yi said, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to talk about another trivial matter:
"The universal language of the galaxy you just spoke?"

Ling Yi smiled and introduced:
"That happened a long time ago after we passed through a wormhole and entered the Milky Way. When the Zerg invaded other star systems, they read some local common sense..."

As they spoke, the two of them had already returned to their team.

Long Yi cleared his throat and recounted Qin Hu's story again, then continued to tell what he knew about the situation in the Milky Way:

“Because the Milky Way is so huge and empty, it has never been unified since its creation.

"Its left and right diameter reaches 100,000 light years. It is composed of four main arms that form a disk structure. Each arm is 4,500 light years apart. These are all vacuum zones with a lack of matter. Space travel is impossible."

"The central region of the Milky Way is mostly populated by old stars and is close to a giant black hole in the center. The cosmic environment is extremely harsh and unstable."

"The supernova explosions and gamma rays everywhere are not suitable for the development and evolution of life..."

"So civilization is mainly concentrated in the middle and tail of the four spiral arms, and after billions of years of evolution, it eventually formed the four god-level civilizations today."

"They established the Eternal Kingdom of God, occupying the most fertile star field in the cantilever of their respective galaxies."

"But even so, it is still a big challenge to rule the hundreds of billions of star systems on the entire arm."

"Because when traveling across galaxies, the cost of inefficient navigation is even greater than the resources that can be plundered."

“Even if we can expand new living space, the time span for development and construction is too long, and there will be problems such as the interruption of colonial civilization inheritance and the decline of scientific and technological levels.”

"So, apart from some established space trading stations and trade star regions, most of the remote star systems are left alone or completely abandoned, allowing the life in these star systems to evolve and become extinct naturally..."

"Unfortunately, we humans are the latter abandoned by the god-level civilization."

"Until after billions of years of evolution, a fourth-order life form was born, leading civilization into the cosmic age..."

“Only then will you be accepted by the god-level civilization, join the cosmic family, and become one of the cosmic civilizations of Orion.”

"In order to facilitate dialogue, communication and economic trade, the four god-level civilizations promulgated a unified galactic language and unified weights and measures."

"What I just communicated with the group of dragon lizards was the universal language of the galaxy that I learned from the Zerg heritage. As long as the other party comes from space and has become one of the cosmic civilizations, we can have a convenient conversation."

After listening to Long Yi's narration, everyone showed admiration and worship.

Although Longyi's combat ability is limited, his knowledge and cultural level is more than one level higher than everyone else.

So I felt an innate admiration for the scientific researchers.

Soon, as everyone remained on guard and listened to Lingyi's narration, news came from the Dragon Lizard Squad one kilometer away from the camp.

The fellow tribesmen who had previously brought Qin Hu away from the killing mood and away from the influence of killing have sent him back.

Lin Feng and Long Yi stepped forward again and took over from the captain of the Dragon Lizard Squad.

At this time, Qin Hu was tied up tightly with circles of metal bandages. His entire body was covered with insect scales. In his only exposed bloodshot eyes, there was no trace of rationality.

Longyi and Captain Longxi mumbled a lot of words to each other and started a discussion and narration.

Obviously, the other party was willing to hand over Qin Hu, but also had corresponding conditions and prices.

Lin Feng thought it was information about how to escape from King Kai's body, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He focused all his attention on Qin Hu, who was lying at the feet of the dragon lizard man, roaring and struggling.

Qin Hu's condition was obviously not very good.

He has entered a state of full body assimilation, and the Zerg's deformed characteristics have spread from his limbs and torso to his brain.

Judging from Lin Feng's experience of knowing Shen Jie well, Qin Hu's Zerg gene assimilation has already penetrated into the internal organs and even the nerve cells of the brain.

So on the way back after the negotiation, Lin Feng carried the tied-up Qin Hu and looked at Long Yi in front of him:

"Is there any hope for him in this situation?"

Longyi frowned slightly:

"Infinite reproduction is not omnipotent."

"For someone like him, his entire thinking and rationality have been completely eroded, his spiritual consciousness no longer exists, and the only useful thing left is the spiritual anchor with the real world..."

"I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I can only wait until I return to the trial world, block the invasion of the Land of the End, and then kill him. I can re-condense my spiritual consciousness from my physical body in the real world and realize my resurrection."

Lin Feng nodded, and thought of another possibility, so he asked tentatively:

"If we allow him to absorb the energy ball of the Fearless State directly, can we allow him to leave the Trial World and return to reality?"

Ling gave Lin Feng a blank look and said with a hint of disdain:
"Four words: daydreaming!"

"He has been completely infected and assimilated by the killing state of mind. If he absorbs the fearless energy ball now, either the two states of mind in his body will conflict with each other and he will explode and die, wasting this state of mind energy in vain."

"Or it will allow the killing intent to spread in reality through the flesh, polluting the entire Yunxia Ridge's main hatching nest."

"Infect all the genetic warriors in the hatching tower, the members of the Guards Regiment, and the remaining soldiers into freaks that only know how to kill!"

"Of course, my real body is outside, which should be able to prevent the situation from getting worse, but I definitely have no intention of dealing with external enemy attacks."

"Now that we have left traces on the main server of the Land of the End, the Queen Mother near the federal capital will soon be able to follow the energy fluctuations emitted by the collective trial and detect the artistic conception inheritance of Yunxia Ridge."

"Shen Jie's condition is still unstable and he is not strong enough to deal with multiple queen mothers at the same time. We must resolve the trial as soon as possible and help the remaining nine gene warriors return to reality."

Lin Feng nodded and said no more.

After returning to the camp, he took the remaining nine genetic warriors to the Killing Volcano where they came from.

Prepare for the next step.
