System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 555 - 287: "It’s natural for insects to be good at digging, it makes sense.
Adventure Map "Withered Wood Spring" is the legacy left by the Mechanical Civilization princess ’Tuo Tuo’.
It’s not just placed on Water Blue Star.
Rather, a large amount of resources are dispersed, and all planets that have been invaded by insect eggs will have the nearest shuttle ship arrive at the fastest speed, leaving this Adventure Map on the planet.
However...
Water Blue Star is slightly unusual, as the Level 200 AI of the Mechanical Civilization princess "Tuo Tuo’s" train is left here.
In this legacy.
The most important reward is actually the Special Tool "Star System Map".
This is a unique method of the Mechanical Civilization, only usable by being inserted into the train. Each civilization has its unique methods, like the "Insect Race Civilization" which has the unique method of quickly bursting soldiers and creating mass wormholes with extremely cheap resources.
And this "Star System Map" updates in real-time, allowing one to see changes in star systems within 10,000 light-years and civilizations with levels lower than 1.
Generally speaking, the exploration methods of the Insect Race Civilization are completely unable to actively detect civilizations with levels lower than 1, so even if located in the core area of the Insect Race, as long as the civilization level is below 1, it would be considered reasonably safe even if it’s only a few dozen light-years from the Insect Race Mother Ship.
...
"What do you say?"
Chen Mang looked at the suddenly promoted Level 1 civilization "Heaven-Slaying Civilization" on the Star System Map, his eyes fixed on the screen, silently counting down in his heart, as he believed this Heaven-Slaying Civilization was on the brink of extinction.
But—
After patiently waiting for ten minutes.
"Eh?"
The planet of the Heaven-Slaying Civilization remained steadily illuminated there, without any change.
"This Insect Race Civilization seems to be insufficient." Chen Mang raised an eyebrow: "They’ve already reached your home base, yet in ten minutes, you haven’t wiped them out, I thought they’d be instantly removed upon showing themselves."
"It’s not a simple matter." Ai’s voice rang out in the train room: "Even knowing a civilization has upgraded on that planet, traveling there is very difficult; you must first know which part of the space around that planet is stable."
"Only stable spaces can have wormholes created."
"If coordinates are unknown and forced creation is attempted, it will instantly collapse, consuming vast resources."
"It’s a time-consuming process and an extreme drain on resources, and this is just a newly promoted Level 1 civilization, posing hardly any threat to the Insect Race Civilization; logically, they wouldn’t care about this civilization at all, after all..."
Next moment— 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
On the star system radar screen, a purple dot suddenly appeared thousands of light-years away, a symbol of a wormhole being formed, but this purple dot dissipated as soon as it formed.
"What’s happening?"
Chen Mang frowned at his "Wormhole Radar", which can only explore wormholes within ten light-years, and he hadn’t turned it on earlier. Why did a wormhole thousands of light-years away appear on his Star System Map screen?
Yet, he wasn’t given much time to ponder.
This was merely a beginning.
Soon, the Star System Map was erratically filled with countless purple dots, lacking any discernible landing logic, casually opened, nearly thousands, filling the Star System Map almost instantly.
The screen was too small to see clearly.
He displayed the Star System Map on the side of a large screen inside the train room.
Every purple dot was a random wormhole.
Tens of thousands, nearly ten thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...
In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of wormholes appeared on the Star System Map, with the vast majority of purple dots dissipating as soon as they appeared, while a few lasted a few minutes before dissipating, yet more purple dots continued to emerge.
Finally—
All purple dots gradually disappeared, leaving only one darker purple dot located near the Heaven-Slaying Civilization’s planet.
He was unaware of what occurred.
The Star System Map didn’t reveal any specifics of what happened.
He only knew.
Three seconds later, the name "Heaven-Slaying Civilization" no longer appeared on the Star System Map.
A new budding civilization, perished.
...
"..."
Chen Mang stood silently, his face expressionless, for a long time before softly speaking: "You said according to common sense, the Insect Race Civilization would ignore them."
"This..."
Ai’s puzzled voice echoed in the train room: "According to common sense, they’d indeed ignore them, spending so many strategic resources on a civilization with only one main planet is akin to using a missile on a mosquito, a complete waste of resources."
"Unless, this Insect Race Civilization has an extremely strong territorial awareness, with zero tolerance for any other civilization’s presence in their home base."
"Meaning, your initial deduction might have been wrong too?"
"Which deduction?"
"You mentioned that the Insect Race Civilization probably wouldn’t come to the Water Blue Star."
"According to common sense, indeed..."
"Enough, don’t speak of common sense, I’m feeling a bit of a headache." Chen Mang lightly rubbed his temples, sighing tiredly, feelings of deep helplessness rising inside him, thinking that if the Heaven-Slaying Civilization had held on for a few more days and nights, they’d have had a fighting chance.
At least a chance.
But... instantly gone?
You’re at least a Level 1 civilization, you have the qualification to sit at the table and face off against other civilizations! Directly instantly demolished by the Insect Race Civilization?
In three seconds, clearly there’s no invasion by ground troops or anything of the sort, perhaps it was a direct barrage from a Mother Ship’s main cannon, completely melting it?
