If you wake up and find that your potted plant can talk to you, then you must not have woken up.
Hogg felt that he must have just not woken up, otherwise why would the plant in front of him be able to talk and call him a child?
Besides, if you really treat me like a child, why did you blow me up in this fucking way? Why didn't you just call me and come over?
Fortunately, Hogg's health bar is thick enough, otherwise those group of toads could explode Hogg into minced meat. Wouldn't that be funny?
Feeling the consciousness in his mind, Hogg began to communicate with this unknown existence.
"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
But no matter how Hogg asked, the consciousness on the other side just repeated the words "You are here", like a fool.
After asking for a long time, I couldn't find any usable information. Hogg could only break away from the vine and order the remaining people to send the coordinates, but the interference was still there.
My father must have started a large-scale search for the lost Blackwatch. Such a large-scale explosion will definitely attract their attention.
As long as you calculate the trajectory, you can easily find Hogg and the others. It's just a matter of time, so Hogg's mood is very stable.
Just when Hogg was about to accumulate energy and shoot the cannon into the sky to indicate his position, the aggregate finally reacted.
A large piece of confusing information was transmitted to his mind. At the same time, the interference that had always existed disappeared, and the correspondent's voice immediately came from the communication channel.
But Hogg's focus at this time was no longer on rescue. He saw something interesting from this piece of information.
This chaotic information is the memory of the planet Catachan, or to be precise, the memory of this aggregate.
Before War in Heaven, Warp was still a peaceful lake, and the spirits of all spirits roamed in this Sea of Souls after death.
At this time, Warp can be said to be the greatest blessing in the universe. It can be said to be "The Great Ocean".
Many races have relied on the convenience of Warp to successfully break through the shackles of their home star and enter the starry sky. That is the real Golden Age.
Then War in Heaven broke out, and the Old Ones forces representing Warp and C'tan representing Realspace started a war.
Countless races perished during that time, the wails and negative emotions of all souls polluted Warp, and unimaginable power turned Realspace into a wasteland.
At that time, the turbulent Sea of Souls erupted into the largest storm in history, providing sufficient nourishment for Catachan's planetary consciousness.
In the long years that followed, Catachan finally condensed his star soul and gained self-awareness, so this planet is said to be alive.
This makes Hogg wonder if it has a sister named Azeroth.
And Hogg also understood the reason why it called him a child. After all, it was his own fault.
There were too few people in Catachan before. Although they were recognized by the planet as one of their own, the number of people increased several times after Blackwatch came.
The most important thing is that Blackwatch's recruits have been selected here for nearly ten years, and the trial plan formulated by Hogg is very consistent with the essence of Catachan's evolution.
This group of little meat people is much more interesting than plants. The training method comparable to sacrifice has brought a large number of souls, which has provided sufficient nutrients for the improvement of the planet's consciousness.
In order to become more powerful, Catachan decided to cultivate his own children. However, the local creatures only eat and sleep. Although they are strong enough, they cannot form a civilization.
Just like a symbiotic relationship, Catachan selected humans, a race with greater potential, as the ladder of his evolution.
When Hogg came to this planet, Catachan's consciousness was already locked on him, because Hogg is the strongest among these little meatmen.
Later, Hogg also transformed into a larger and Waaaaagh form like a giant beast, which perfectly fit the nature of natural selection of Catachan.
Let Catachan's star soul decide to start drawing cards, control a group of toads to crash into Hogg and the others, and successfully fly them here with a big explosion.
Seeing Hogg pass by, he didn't know what to say anymore. He just sighed that he was really nothing before, but now he is fine, and the boomerang pierced his head.
"Alas! Now that things have come to this, I can only choose to agree."
Feeling Hogg's thoughts of agreement, Catachan's star soul was even more delighted. As long as they can thrive on itself, it can further evolve.
Before its joy was over, some strange requests came from Hogg.
"Then what benefit can you give us?"
"Benefits? What are the benefits?"
Catachan's still relatively dazed consciousness could not understand the meaning of this word, so he could only ask about his new children. According to his observation, these little meat people should be very smart.
Feeling Xinghun's doubts, Hogg smiled in relief.
Although he had been having a miserable life these past few days, everything was worth it when he met such a clear star soul, so Hogg started his deception.
After understanding Star Soul's appeal, Hogg drew a huge pie for it and made it make many promises.
Including but not limited to: taking care of human reproduction, providing all biological specimens on Catachan, voluntarily accepting Blackwatch to build a base on it, and protecting humans when encountering foreign enemies...
In short, as long as it meets the requirements of its evolutionary nature, Hogg has said it over and over again. Basically, all valuable things on this planet have been sold to Hogg.
In short, both sides feel that they have made a profit. Star Soul has its own civilization and can further evolve. Hogg has gained a safe base and a large amount of supplies.
While he was bargaining with Star Soul, Blackwatch's large force also found this place, and the muzzles of all spacecraft were pointed at this aggregate.
Fortunately, Hogg discovered this, otherwise what was promised just now would have been blown away. He quickly explained this existence to his descendants and let them know that this is a true ally.
Looking at this strange life form, Blackwatch and Tech-priest all praised this as a victory for the biological faction, and then were beaten violently by their counterparts from the mechanical faction.
Without the obstruction of the anti-aircraft plants, the expedition team successfully returned to the training base to rest and recuperate. A large number of heads were put into the remodeling warehouse for repair.
Hogg, who returned to the base, called Emilia and asked her to draw up a construction plan for Catachan, which almost made Emilia, who had just relaxed, curse.
Hogg plans to build this place into Blackwatch's second rear base without destroying the natural features of Catachan, specializing in recruit training and biological weapons development.
Of course, Hogg had doubts about this star soul. To be safe, he placed the Vortex Torpedo he took from Emperor on Catachan.
This torpedo made by Emperor is no ordinary thing. According to Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes Kitten, one torpedo can completely blow up a planet.
At the same time, Hogg also tore off half of its own tentacles, allowing these tentacles to penetrate deep into the underground of Catachan. As long as they self-destruct, they can contaminate the smaller half of Catachan.
