The busy research was carried out all night, but it cannot be said that there was no gain, and it can only be said that there was little progress.

That's right, if Ultralisk cooperated, if Swarm's information and intelligence could be obtained well, Antilians would not hand over Ultralisk so happily.

Not only did Ultralisk not cooperate, but he also used superb mental skills to encrypt his own consciousness. This shows that Swarm's mathematical achievements far exceed those of Council Civilization now.

Holding a cup of dairy products, Chen Hui looked at Ultralisk who was standing still. At this time, Ultralisk's little eyes also turned, looking at the little man in its eyes with a joking look.

This look full of wisdom and cunning was keenly discovered by Chen Hui. She was originally a very strong Psionics person, and her mental perception was very keen.

Chen Hui felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

"Are you laughing at me?" Chen Hui opened the glass barrier outside the static force field and walked closer to the barrier.

Ultralisk turned his eyes back and looked elsewhere.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, I know you understand. We have taught you our language a long time ago." The good-tempered Chen Hui also has his moments.

Ultralisk is still unmoved. It knows that it is imprisoned by energy and there is no point in resisting. It simply closed its eyes and stopped paying attention to the little person.

"You are a civilization with a long history. You have rich knowledge, a unique social structure, and you are also extremely powerful. Why would a civilization as developed as yours choose violence and killing?"

"Isn't it good to cooperate and share? Isn't this the way to cost the least and gain the most?"

"Even if it's plunder, what can you plunder from a civilization like ours? By eating people like me, you can get at most some iron, calcium, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon... These elements are everywhere in the universe!"

Chen Hui's venting of words made her chest heave with excitement and her breathing became heavier, "I don't understand, what's the point of this... What's the point of this?"

Ultralisk seems to be asleep. No matter what Chen Hui says or how hysterical the mood is, it doesn't intend to pay attention.

Chen Hui, who was getting agitated, suddenly wanted to turn off the static stance to see if this vicious big guy was really asleep. Even if it was, it would be a kind of venting revenge to let him fall to the ground and prevent him from sleeping.

At this time, a voice came from behind Chen Hui.

"Chen Hui, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Hua's old voice was full of worry.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Hui adjusted himself, turned around and smiled at his former mentor, "It's okay, Mentor Zhang Hua, I'm just a little anxious and want to vent."

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you are under too much pressure. The whole civilization thing is not yours alone. Don't be too stressed. Just take a break if there is no progress. Maybe Psionic Glimmer will show up during the break?" Zhang Hua persuaded.

Shaking his head gently, Chen Hui asked, "Why are you coming to see me? Normally a researcher would never bother me at this time."

Zhang Hua pursed his lips, thought for a while, sighed and said the reason, "In Customs, our inspectors found a problem with the number of a Saike Keruians cargo spacecraft. After a routine inspection, we found that this ship is very strange. The driver is a species we have never seen before, and there is no cargo on board."

"After contacting Nuune Mega Corporation, we discovered that this ship had been missing for hundreds of years. So we locked up the driver and prepared to ask about the reason, but we didn't expect that he took the initiative to tell us everything."

Zhang Hua is a mature and prudent person, but at this moment Chen Hui can hear uncontrollable excitement from his mouth.

"He is just a wild Planet native. They were invaded by Swarm. By chance, he escaped in a smuggler's spaceship.

None of this is important, the point is! These Swarm take orders from his sister! Yes, you heard it right, Swarm does not indiscriminately eliminate life on Planet, they will take orders from an ordinary person."

Even Chen Hui couldn't control her expression. She opened her mouth, "This... can you believe this? He may be crazy, and he said stupid things that even fooled himself."

"I didn't believe it at first. I just went out to verify this because he knew how to Psionics and was very cooperative. Our Psionics er successfully copied his memory. You can take a look." After that, Zhang Hua handed over a transparent electronic Terminal.

Chen Hui quickly took Terminal and looked at the picture above without blinking.

It was a scene of some low-level Swarms fighting a medieval civilization. The medieval civilization was completely defeated and had no power to fight back. It could be clearly seen that these Swarms were cooperating with another group of troops in rags to defeat the one with bright armor.

You can also see a white-haired girl with extraordinary temperament on the hill, being guarded by two Roach and one Hydralisk in the middle.

Then the scene changed, and it was in a hall, from a first-person perspective.

The white-haired girl with extraordinary temperament sat high up in the top position, with two low-level Swarm Unit lying at her feet, like pets.

Chen Hui read it several times. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Hua seriously, "I want to see the escaped native. I need more information. I want to ask him personally."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhang Hua agreed. In fact, he really wanted to persuade his disciple to take a rest, but he knew her tenacious character that would never give up.

After Zhang Hua left, Chen Hui turned around and pulled Terminal in his hand. Terminal instantly projected a picture on the wall, showing what Chen Hui had just seen.

This is what Chen Hui deliberately showed to Ultralisk. She wanted to prove to Ultralisk that not all Swarm individuals are so ignorant.

Maybe this won't have any effect. Ultralisk has stopped communicating and hasn't eaten for a long time. He relies on external nutrients to maintain his life. Chen Hui was prepared for Ultralisk to say nothing, but the result was beyond her expectation.

After seeing the picture, Ultralisk began to struggle crazily. Chen Hui couldn't tell its emotions. Was it panic or anger? The output of the static position was much higher. This was the most intense reaction of Ultralisk.

Such a reaction made Chen Hui stunned for a moment, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face. Maybe she was too happy, and her beautiful face was a little distorted.

"It seems that you really understand and see everything! This is great. Now you know that we have a basis for cooperation. Your compatriots can cooperate with a wild Planet native, so why don't you choose us?"

"Believe me, as long as you are willing to communicate with Sapphire Civilization, we will definitely be able to find a third way besides confrontation." Chen Hui said with confidence.
