On the chickpea, Lu Heng took out the communicator given by the alien.
"Take a look at this."
"Brother Lu, this thing cannot be produced on Blue Star."
As expected, young people accept new things faster. After just one glance, Lin Yu saw the unusual nature of this item.
"Yes, didn't I give Chen Dong and the others a lot of novel things before? It seems we are not far from unlocking the secrets of these things."
"Aliens have come to Blue Star."
Lin Yu said this with certainty. Since he saw the real thing again, and it appeared after the trip to Luocheng, Lin Yu felt that Lu Heng must have encountered the actual presence of aliens.
"Mm."
Lu Heng rubbed the rattan chair on the back of the chickpea with his fingers, contemplating the problems he would face.
The technological level of alien creatures far surpassed Blue Star. Even with Lu Heng's current eighteenth-tier abilities, they were insignificant in the face of absolute high technology.
Humans were as fragile as ants to the aliens who could come here.
However, based on Lu Heng's brief interactions with the alien creatures so far, they had not overtly shown any malice towards humans.
Otherwise, he and the humans in Wuming City would not have been released from that space by the aliens.
With the capabilities of their robots, those aliens could have killed them all.
Of course, Lu Heng could return to his space to hide, but that would also mean he would be forever trapped in that space and unable to return to the world of Blue Star.
Moreover, the space he possessed had connections to worlds similar to the aliens' space. Lu Heng was unsure if that was the aliens' home planet or the space city they mentioned.
Another point was that the passages for traversing several worlds in his space were too similar to the barrier created by the alien creatures.
He also wanted to unravel the mysteries of his space through future interactions with the aliens.
At the very least, learning some of the alien language would help in deciphering those alien objects he found in his space.
"Brother Lu, what are they here on Blue Star for?"
"According to them, they accidentally discovered that this place is similar to their planet and fled here."
"Then will they bring danger to Blue Star as well? Will those other aliens who attacked them pursue them?"
"It's unclear for now. I only had a brief exchange with them, and I don't know their true intentions at all."
"You can't hear their thoughts?" Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. He knew that Lu Heng and the Director could hear others' inner thoughts.
"No, hehe, this skill of mine is completely useless against them."
Lu Heng felt a sense of helplessness at this moment. At such a critical juncture, such a useful skill was proving ineffective.
"Perhaps their physical structures are different, or their brainwaves are different from ours."
"Yes, your idea is good."
"I noticed that their faces barely show any expression when they speak. When they recounted the destruction of their planet, their tone had no fluctuations at all, as if they were talking about a story that had nothing to do with them."
"That is indeed a bit strange. By the way, Brother Lu, do the aliens look the same as in the images I saw?"
"Yes, they probably all look like that."
"Then how can we distinguish them? If someone is bad at recognizing faces, it will be even harder."
"Hehehe, your mind, you've watched too many movies, but you have a lot of thoughts in your head."
Lu Heng patted Lin Yu's head. "Have you grown taller again?"
"Brother Lu, I'm still young, I'll definitely grow taller. Yes, one day, I'll grow taller than Brother Lu." Lin Yu handed the alien communicator back to Lu Heng.
...
After returning to Wuming City first, Lin Yu went to make arrangements.
He arranged for people to examine the physical condition of the successfully rescued personnel from the expeditionary team, and also to organize a count of how many had sacrificed their lives. The appeasement of the sacrificed personnel also needed to be arranged promptly.
On the way back, Lu Heng had roughly told him that the team had lost dozens of people, all of whom were accidentally killed by the alien robots.
However, Lu Heng was not sure if it was truly accidental. They had no control over matters concerning the aliens.
Furthermore, the arrival of alien creatures on Blue Star needed a reasonable response. It was estimated that once that group returned, the news would quickly spread throughout Wuming City.
Subsequently, people from other regions outside would also learn about this matter, and they would have to prepare for inquiries from other survivors outside.
The people who had encountered the alien creatures were all from Wuming City. Unlike in movies, these people did not have their memories of seeing aliens erased.
From this perspective, the aliens did indeed intend to have further contact with humans.
Lu Heng stood in the room, looking at the people constantly coming and going in the inner city not far away. Everyone had their own tasks to attend to.
Lu Heng suddenly felt as if he had become the most idle person.
The communicator on the table suddenly lit up, and an image was projected.
Hearing the sound, Lu Heng turned to look at the image on the table.
However, Lu Heng did not press any buttons on the contact list. He estimated that the other party was only outputting unilaterally and could not see his side of the image.
"Lu Heng, we've noticed that your location hasn't changed for a long time. Have you reached your city?"
— As expected, these alien objects could track locations.
However, due to their technological disadvantage, humans were completely helpless against these alien creatures.
Since the aliens could travel across several star systems and galaxies to reach Blue Star, they must have spacecraft capable of instantaneous teleportation.
Therefore, even without this tracking device, it would not take them too long to find Lu Heng's location.
Lu Heng did not touch the communicator, wanting to see what the aliens would say next.
"Have you encountered any trouble?"
"Didn't you give them a faulty communicator? Why hasn't the other party responded?" A strange voice sounded, but Lu Heng did not see any other alien creatures in the communicator's projection.
"No, perhaps the other party is not near the communicator."
"Shouldn't they carry it with them at all times?" the strange voice sounded again.
Seeing no response, the other party disconnected the communicator. Lu Heng waved his hand and put the item into his space.
