Chapter 578 Garland Hunter
To ordinary people, those strange and meaningless screams from old Belen's mouth contained special meanings in Leo's ears, because these strange screams were a kind of language to him.
A real language, although the notes produced by the human mouthpiece are a bit weird and the pronunciation is wrong.
This strange sound is actually the unique language of an advanced civilization in the universe, and all the races in the universe who know this civilization and have heard this sound have a consensus, that is, this sound represents death and cruelty.
Cosmic civilizations are diversified. Each cosmic civilization has its own customs. However, when they become more advanced cosmic civilizations, the content of these customs that is not conducive to their integration into the entire cosmic civilization circle will be actively eliminated by them.
removed, and finally retained some cultural content.
But there are exceptions to everything, and there are some cosmic civilizations that will not make any compromises. They still retain their most primitive customs, and even go to war with surrounding cosmic civilizations for these customs. Of course, it is also possible that they deliberately use customs as bait.
, provoke a war.
Among these cosmic civilized races that retain their original customs, the Garans are definitely the most dangerous advanced civilized race. Even the Supreme Council believes that this race is extremely dangerous and needs to limit its population, so it invented a special
The virus targeting the Garland people has weakened their fertility and offspring survival rate to the lowest point, and can barely maintain racial reproduction.
The reason why the Supreme Council and various cosmic civilizations are so hostile to the Garan civilization is because this civilization is an extremely rare predator civilization.
As the name suggests, the core of the predator civilization is plunder. This civilization itself does not have any ability to actively evolve, but their predatory nature can seize the knowledge, culture, technology, etc. of other civilizations through plunder. They are like the universe
The cancer cells of civilization strengthen themselves by cannibalizing and digesting all the nutrients of the target civilization, and eventually completely swallow up the target civilization.
The initial knowledge of the Garland Civilization was that it was an extremely primitive civilization on the planet Garland. Just like other advanced civilizations, the civilizations surrounding the star field where the Garland Civilization was located also sent out observer spacecraft to secretly observe the growth of this civilization.
But one day, a cosmic storm from the distant starry sky swept across the star field where the Garan civilization was located. At that time, several observer spacecraft of other civilizations that had no time to escape were swept away, eventually damaged, and crashed into the Garan star.
After acquiring these observer ships, the relatively primitive civilization on Garland quickly absorbed and digested the technology, culture, and knowledge contained in these ships through its own predatory nature and abilities, and finally in a short period of time
In less than a thousand years, it evolved from a primitive civilization to a cosmic civilization capable of space navigation.
After that, the Garan people continued to plunder surrounding civilizations, absorbing the technology and culture of these civilizations, and finally evolved to the level of advanced cosmic civilization in a short period of time.
The surrounding cosmic civilizations are also aware of the danger of the Garland civilization, so they unite to declare war on the Garland civilization. But now the Garland civilization has matured. With their powerful fighting talents, they not only survived the most intense war period.
Since then, and during the war, their civilization, technology and themselves have continued to evolve, and even some physiological evolution has been specifically designed to serve this war.
For example, as the war expanded, the Garland people's casualties inevitably increased, so when they evolved, they strengthened their reproduction and growth.
By the middle of the war, the reproductive capacity of the Garan people had increased by more than fifty times compared to the early stage of the war, and their growth time had been shortened to one year. That is, from the time a Garan person was just born to completing the initial adult growth, it only took
It will take a year. Although this will shorten the lifespan of each Garland, it will allow their population to maintain and grow during the war.
In the end, the Galans won the war and annexed several surrounding cosmic civilizations. The evolution of civilization continued to improve, and their own reproductive capabilities made them one of the most powerful civilizations in that galaxy.
In the following thousands of years, they did not continue to expand, but quietly digested the fruits of this war. However, this did not mean that they were good at everything. They began to create a hunting ritual that lasted a lifetime based on their customs.
, and the objects they hunt are all intelligent creatures. As for the highest hunting achievement, naturally they hunt omega-level advanced life forms.
At first, the Garan civilization did not attract the attention of the Supreme Council. After all, the star field where the Garan civilization is located belongs to the edge of the universe civilization. However, with the Garan hunting team, it began to spread in the universe and was unscrupulous everywhere.
Hunting intelligent life, the subordinate organizations of the Supreme Council began to pay attention to this cosmic civilization that mainly focused on plundering and killing.
And when a hunting team of the Garan people successfully hunted and killed an evolving Omega-level advanced life form, the information about the Garan people was officially put on the agenda of the Supreme Council.
This discussion on the issues related to the Galan people can be said to have taken the shortest time among the issues discussed by the entire Supreme Council. It was completed from the initial discussion to the final decision in less than a year. The reason for this is that the Garland people were discussed in the shortest time.
Lan Man has no allies in the universe, but his unscrupulous hunting of intelligent creatures has made him countless enemies.
In the end, the Garland people were restricted in their fertility, growth cycle, and the scope of civilization development, which was equivalent to locking them in a prison within a small star field.
However, even so, the Gallan people still did not change their custom of hunting and plundering. They either sent hunting teams to join the space pirate organization, or simply sent hunting teams directly to hunt civilizations in various galaxies.
Although the Earth Federation is far away from the Garan people, spanning almost half the universe, there are still Garan hunting teams that have reached the Earth Federation's star field and caused great damage to the Earth Federation.
When Leo was still a cyborg, he and other troops once surrounded and suppressed the Garland hunting team. However, the main force at that time was the federation's psykers, and they were only responsible for peripheral interception and other tasks. But even so, their losses were very high.
It was so huge that only three members of his cyborg battle team survived. The others, including the six cyborg battle teams that worked together, all died at the hands of a Garland hunter.
Although he was in the state of a cyborg at the time and did not have any fear, he could feel powerless as he watched the Garland hunter easily slaughter several of the most elite cyborg combat teams, and their deaths were just a matter of seconds.
This Garland hunter could only be held back for a few minutes.
This memory has always been engraved in his mind. Even though he has now become a real human for unknown reasons, this memory has not disappeared, so when old Beren makes a unique sound, it is like an input.
Just like the activation code, this memory immediately emerged from the depths of his consciousness, which is why he believed that there must be a Garland Hunter on board the Death Fish.
The memory of Leo's massacre that time was so deep that after he recovered, he took the initiative to collect a large amount of information about Garland hunters in order to avoid encountering Garland hunting teams in the future.
At that time, there was no countermeasure like last time.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he was still a federal biochemical man, he didn't meet the Garland hunting team, but now that he had become a human and came to a mysterious and huge world, he met this man again.
He has lingering fears about the civilized race.
After confirming that there was most likely a Garland Hunter on the ghost ship of the Death Fish, Leo also understood why his mental network felt that there was a living body on the ship, but could not find its correct location.
Because defensive mental web and psychic abilities are also one of the most basic talents of Garland hunters.
For some unknown reasons, there are very few psykers among the Garan people. Even if there are psykers, the psychic powers they master are very weak, but this does not mean that the Garan people are not powerful. Because the Garan people have
Three opportunities for plundering cell evolution. As long as the cell body captured by the Garan people is strong enough, they will be able to plunder the superior genes of the cell body through their own innate abilities, thus possessing unimaginable power.
There was a Garland hunter who used the life cells of space worms, star whales and omega-level advanced life forms in sequence to say that he had evolved to an incredible point. Even without psychic powers, his power was no higher than that of the omega-level.
There is no difference between the life forms, and even in terms of physical strength, it far exceeds that of most omega-level advanced life forms.
Leo didn't know what the situation was like with the Garland on the Death Fish, but he was certain that the other party must have evolved at least once. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Garland to still be alive today, because the Supreme Council
Through various methods, the life span of the Garan people has been limited to less than forty years. Even freezing cannot stop the loss of life span. Only by completing a very powerful physical evolution can it be possible to complete the repair of the body.
At this time, the Snow Queen has entered a relatively constant speed. According to Leo's inference, the speed of this ship is almost the same as that of the speedboats that specialized in traveling on the sea in the old earth era.
However, Leo did not need a practical mental net. Just through his naked eyes, he could see that the Death Fish was not only not thrown away, but was actually closer to the Snow Queen. The thick fog that had left the entire hull was very clear.
Appeared in Leo's eyes, and followed closely behind him as if being dragged by the Snow Queen.
Obviously the old captain in the captain's cabin had also discovered this and knew that he could not get rid of this ghost ship, so he stopped operating the wizard's circle inside the ship to slow down the ship.
When the ship's speed returned to normal, the old captain returned to the observation deck. While instructing the sailors on the ship to prepare for battle, he came to Leo and said, "It seems that I have to trouble you to make a trip."
"Where are the things?" Leo asked.
The old captain didn't say much about paying first and doing things later. He just took out a box and handed it over.
It can be seen that this box was found temporarily. The strong smell of tobacco on it makes it easy to guess what this box was used for before.
Leo did not open the box and check the contents inside. He believed that the old captain would not and did not dare to do anything to fool people, so he directly told the old captain to put the things in the storage space in front of him.
When the old captain saw the box suddenly disappearing from Leo's hands, he couldn't help but show a confused look on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and asked Leo what he needed to prepare.
Leo shook his head and asked him to stop the boat, lower the lifeboat beside the boat, and then sent two people to row the boat to take him to the Death Fish.
The old captain immediately followed his instructions, because he thought Leo needed to bring people on board, so he selected two powerful sailors to follow Leo.
After the ship stopped, Leo boarded the arranged lifeboat. After the two sailors rowed the oars vigorously, the boat quickly passed by on the sea, stopped in the same direction, and then
The ghost ship moving slowly against the waves approached.
"You stay here and wait for me." After arriving under the ghost ship, Leo stood up, looked at the hull covered with marine organisms, turned to the two men, picked up their weapons, and prepared to board the ship with Leo.
The sailor gave an order, and then saw him controlling his psychic energy to fly up from the boat, quickly flying over the side of the ship and landing on the deck.
After all, this ship has been sailing at sea for many years. Although there is an energy here to protect the hull, this protective power can only protect the ship from falling apart, and cannot prevent the ship's wood from decaying. It is no exaggeration to say that
If Leo hadn't used his spiritual energy to cling to his feet and let the weight of his body weaken in the form of dispersion, his feet might have trampled on the deck the moment they landed on it.
After Leo fell down, he immediately observed the surrounding situation, but this time he did not use the mental network. Instead, he adjusted his body to a state of perfect control, and the perception of various organs was also adjusted to the limit.
The reason why he doesn't use psychic energy, but relies on his own organs and senses, is entirely due to the Garan people's resistance to psychic energy.
The Garan people are extremely resistant to psychic energy. They use their talent to create some methods specifically designed to deal with certain psychic skills, such as circumventing the perception of the mental network, creating psychic restricted areas, etc.
, so now for Leo, the body's organ perception is more reliable than psychic energy.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Just when he adjusted his body's perception to the limit through perfect control, he immediately sensed an extremely weak airflow in the cabin under his feet, and there was also a trace of air mixed in the airflow.
The smell is different from the sour smell of rotting ships.
