"Latest news, embedded sensor device number CG365411 underground in the D2 area has gone offline. Its corresponding hybrid SK solution output pipeline is number ICD1244...."
...
Su Mo looked at these pieces of information, feeling a headache.
"What the hell is this?"
"Not clear, but one thing is certain, there are definitely problems in the underground pipeline area of the D zone."
The Creator·Swallower responded in a deep voice.
"Damn it."
Su Mo also inexplicably felt so irritation.
Inside the battle command room of Radiant City.
Goli stood on the command platform, and the virtual network structure map of D zone underground was thoroughly displayed.
The intricate lines and circuits caused everyone to feel anxious.
Goli raised her head and calmly called out.
"Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow!"
At this mont, a light sphere erged, producing a lodious voice.
"Lady Goli."
"Mark all abnormal areas."
"Understood!"
Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow replied.
More than thirty abnormal areas were imdiately marked.
"Are there any valuable captures from the hidden cara device inside the underground main pipeline area?"
Goli asked Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow.
"No abnormalities captured for now. Suggest dispatching personnel to survey the site at abnormal area number 17, which can be quickly reached by descending through the maintenance entrance at West Forest Street number 758."
"Permission granted! Investigate all other abnormal areas as well! Leave no corner unchecked."
Goli imdiately approved.
"Generating command."
"Transmitting command."
...
At this ti, standing behind Goli, the NCOs were becoming more and more serious, even the most oblivious could see the situation was escalating step by step.
Ti passed little by little.
About half an hour later, a communication request popped up.
"Accept!"
Goli imdiately responded.
Suddenly, a dim image appeared, accompanied by a lowered voice.
"This is Lieutenant Jer, I’m currently at abnormal area number 17 and have found a suspicious target."
"Transmit the image over!"
Goli and everyone else’s expressions shifted slightly.
"Yes."
Jer imdiately transmitted the image back.
A massive cell-like black viscous substance was seen covering the pipeline in the distance, with black tentacles occasionally extending from its surface.
The size was roughly tens of ters.
Due to lighting and distance issues, the captured image was not very clear.
"Do not approach rashly."
Goli instructed Jer.
"Yes!"
Jer issued the order.
"Light and Shadow, match with the database to see if the species can be identified?"
Goli issued the command steadily and calmly, unafraid of any monster invasion, as long as she could figure out what the target actually was.
"Analyzing."
Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow replied.
While Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow was analyzing, several reports popped up.
"In abnormal area number 8, discovered a special cell-like biological entity with a size of tens of ters. Species unknown, requesting instructions!"
"In abnormal area number 3, discovered a special cell-like biological entity with a size of several hundred ters....."
"An additional 28 abnormal areas have been identified."
...
Bad news kept coming in one after another.
Herbert noticed the abnormal biological entities being found were getting larger and seed concentrated in one area, he said solemnly to Goli.
"Lady Goli, these monsters have perated throughout various pipeline areas. What we’re seeing may just be the surface, they might not be independent entities but possibly connected, with parts of their bodies linked together."
"I understand. Order all exploration personnel not to provoke those monsters, continue the investigation."
Goli nodded slightly.
"Yes!"
Herbert answered solemnly.
Ti passed little by little, more than an hour later.
The discovered abnormal biological entities were increasing significantly, erupting everywhere.
Then Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow spoke: "Data match successful, target identified as silicon-based life form·Motex Aggregate, one of the highest level silicon-based life forms, possibly a mutant, extrely dangerous."
"Imdiately convene a high-ranking military operations eting."
Upon hearing it was a silicon-based monster, Goli’s expression tightened, she imdiately issued the order.
"Yes!"
Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow replied.
On River Street, Su Mo was squatting and observing the inspection entrance. His electronic bracelet vibrated again.
He glanced at the bracelet and hurried away.
...
Not long after, all high-ranking NCOs from the Royal Order’s direct troops had arrived at the battle command center.
Everyone took their seats, each looking very serious.
At this mont, Goli went to the front of the crowd, addressing everyone: "I now announce entering ergency operation state. Through various surveys, we have identified the true face of our enemy this ti."
In the next second, several relatively clear photos appeared.
Upon seeing the monster’s revealed appearance, everyone was imdiately taken aback, unable to speak.
Then Goli presented the entire D zone network structure, which was covered with spots of red.
Su Mo was also in a state of disbelief, he couldn’t help but ask the Creator·Swallower.
"What the hell thing is this?"
"Not sure, the database is incomplete."
The Creator·Swallower responded in a deep voice.
"Everyone might be wondering what this monster is, I can tell you it’s the nearly extinct silicon-based monster·Motex, with a terrifying ability to devour tals and self-replicate. It can rapidly erode a fortress."
Goli spoke simply and briskly.
"Then isn’t Radiant City in grave danger."
Everyone’s expression tightened, so asked worriedly.
"Indeed, if left unchecked, Radiant City will be completely destroyed. Fortunately, we discovered it relatively early, and its current size is estimated to be about the size of a city, still in juvenile form."
Goli replied calmly.
"Then there’s no ti to lose, let’s quickly move to eliminate it."
Several NCOs present began speaking.
"This silicon-based life form monster is unlike regular monsters; whatever tal it devours, its body gains that tal’s hardness. The tal construction at the bottom of Radiant City is very solid, since this monster is parasitic on it, its body’s hardness is naturally also very strong, making it difficult to destroy. Moreover, destroying its external body won’t be effective, its core must be found and injected with Star Ring City’s specialized GICS-01 Ancient Gallium Dissolving Liquid designed for silicon-based life forms, to completely kill it."
Goli spoke in a low voice.
Xia Weiya asked seriously: "Lady Goli, has its main body been located?"
"Not yet, but Artificial Intelligence·Light and Shadow has predicted based on the current exposed distribution points where the monster’s main body might be under D3 area. It’s also where the two missing soldiers were, but whether the prediction is correct remains to be personally verified. Before you ca, over a dozen dispatched teams went missing, presumably all sacrificed."
Goli explained solemnly.
