Immediately afterwards, a scene that shocked Zhang Han happened. The mental power in the big bell changed from virtual to solid, and merged with the flesh and blood of the corpse. Several disgusting lumps of flesh fell down and squirmed on the ground, seeming to be some kind of creature.
Is this where the mind is more powerful than matter? The extraordinary spirit feeds the body? How terrifying!
The Rat Prophets hissed excitedly, "Praise the Rat God! So many female rats, great, yes! Great! Three, four, five... a total of eight female rats!"
All the mice started to dance excitedly, and the Rat Prophet was the craziest. They shouted praises to the Rat God and seemed to break their vocal cords.
A missile exploded in the distance, and a huge mushroom cloud rose. Not only did it evaporate the rats at the explosion site, but the shock wave also blew away a large number of lighter rats.
"Retreat, retreat! Drag back the food and the female rats first!" The rat prophets began to roar, and then kicked the giant rat next to them, "Go and bring all the weapons that can be used! The best is the engine!"
"I don't know what an engine is! Forget it, you can take whatever you can! Idiot!"
More artillery fire and missiles fell, and the rats knew that a disaster was coming, and quickly moved away what they could, and the rats disappeared underground like a tide.
Zhang Han, who knew that these rats were related to himself, followed the rats underground out of curiosity and wanted to find out the reason.
Another settlement was destroyed, and Zurahman's already lifeless face became even colder.
Recently, a strange corpse species has appeared on the planet, and they are those rats. They often suddenly emerge from the underground, attack the religious sect's settlements, eat everything clean, and then escape back underground.
This time, a support army was also eaten, and a drone was shot down with Psionics. This was already considered a threat to the rule of the Death Cult.
In order to figure out where these corpse rats came from, Zurahman also communicated with the Zelo people and wanted to know if the relationship between Shroud weapon was activated, causing the underground rats to mutate.
By the way, I asked for compensation. It is said that Shroud weapon belongs to the Zero people. The Zero people should be responsible for the serious consequences. Moreover, the Death Order has offered a compensation amount that Zurahman thinks is very appropriate.
The reply from the Zeluo people is that it cannot be caused by Shroud weapon. Shroud weapon will definitely eat all the souls when it is activated. The corpse body also needs souls to move, so it should be a natural mutation.
As for compensation, it is nonsense. The Zero people asked the Death Order to recognize their status. From the perspective of strength, the Death Order, a level 1.5 civilization, is not qualified to seek compensation from the Zero people.
After receiving such a rude and overbearing reply from the Zeluo people, Zurahman exploded at that moment. As an indifferent corpse, he directly burned the terminal in front of him to charcoal.
Then he ordered the diplomats to protest to Stellaris Council, accusing the Zeluo people of using weapons of mass destruction such as Shroud weapon to harm the national interests and people's security of the Death Cult. He demanded that the Zeluo people must make corresponding compensation and formally apologize to the cult.
If the Zelor refuses, the Death Order will not only severely condemn the Zelor, but also file a lawsuit against the Zelor's actions in the Tribunal of the Stars.
The protest letter was just sent out, but was returned instantly. The reason is also very simple. The Death Order is not an independent diplomatic country and cannot independently launch protests and condemnations against countries within Stellaris Council.
As a last resort, Zurahman had no choice but to find the Gestalt Mechanical Civilization, the civilization leader of the Silicon Alliance. Gestalt Diplomat No. 5 warmly received Zurahman. The conversation between him and Zurahman was as follows.
"Hello, dear High Priest Zurahman. Please don't rush to speak. I have read all your questions and opinions. As a member of the Silicon Alliance, the Death Order is an important member. Every civilization in the Silicon Alliance attaches great importance to the development of the Order."
"I express my deep sympathy and regret for what happened to the Order. According to the mutual aid agreement within the alliance, the alliance will initiate a donation to help the reconstruction of the Order. In addition, Gestalt will also save a batch of energy coins and resources, hoping that these can make up for the losses of the Order."
At first, Zurahman did not understand what Diplomat No. 5 meant, "No, you did not understand what I meant. I am not here to ask for help from the Alliance. I want to condemn and file a complaint against the arrogant Zeluo people. There is something wrong with their Shroud weapon, which has caused heavy losses to the Order. Now those underground rats are hurting the people of the Order every day!"
"Please calm down, High Priest. As I said, the Alliance sympathizes with you and the injustice suffered by your civilization."
"However, I hope you understand what I mean. Stellaris Council The three and now four permanent members of the Security Council all have one-vote veto power. Any act of confrontation with them is unwise."
Diplomat No. 5 did not let Zurahman continue, "In the chaotic era, some civilizations did stand on the Stellaris Council floor and make impassioned speeches, criticizing the hegemonic behavior of the three permanent members of the Security Council at that time."
"Can you imagine a judge in court, saying to the plaintiff: Who dares to sue this judge? Such an embarrassing scene?"
"People of the Death Cult are not afraid of fighting!" Zurahman felt that he was insulted, and he was so angry that he almost burned the communication terminal in front of him.
He was about to say some more cruel words when he was interrupted by Diplomat No. 5, "As a leader of civilization, reckless roars are not helpful. It is wise to recognize the gap in strength. If the Death Order cannot see clearly, we will recalculate the value of the Death Order in the Silicon Alliance."
After hearing these words, Zurahman became quiet like a plucked chicken.
"Yes, this universe has always been dominated by the weak. The Death Cult is not a beggar and will not accept charity! As expected, the trade proposed by the Zeluo people has traps in it. We will deal with those nasty rats ourselves."
Although these words sound very tough, they are actually a helpless compromise.
"Okay, High Priest, I respect your country's choice. If those rats are too troublesome, you can apply to the alliance again. I will prepare the relevant documents. Once the religious group applies, assistance will be issued soon." Diplomat No. 5 still maintained precision and elegance.
It is obvious that this diplomatic action was a failure.
To save face, Zurahman has not sought help from the Silicon Alliance. After all, it is an interstellar civilization. The Death Order also has a fleet of three thousand interstellar battleships. How can it not even be able to deal with some rats that have escaped from the ground?
The reality is that he really can't handle it. It's impossible for a battleship in the universe to directly bomb his home planet.
The mobility of the ground troops was completely inferior to that of rats that came and went without a trace underground. They made several deep underground attacks and were completely wiped out due to the narrow terrain.
