Chapter 43: Conjecture: "Alien species are created by humans themselves"...

Xu An's words were like a thousand-pound hammer, hitting the hearts of the three people hard.

As the mechanical instruments were slowly put away, only a few muffled breathing sounds could be heard in the empty room.

Yao Yin slowly stood up and prepared to retract the robotic arms. Suddenly, one of the robotic arms above her head hit something soft, making a sticky, wet sound.

The team members' hairs stood on end instantly.

As the light strips and flashlights shone overhead, they saw a dense crowd of monsters hanging upside down on the rock wall above their heads, staring at them intently.

Xu An's heart suddenly jumped

The monster's body was covered with scales, its belly was swollen and fat, and the sharp claws on its limbs were tightly hooked on the eye wall. Behind it, its long tail with two tail fins at the end was swaying slowly with the movements of the crowd, like a predator that became playful after catching its prey.

This is a foraminal species.

Xu An's heart skipped a beat as he inexplicably came to this conclusion in his mind.

These alien creatures were stacked together in a complex manner. Their eyes, about three centimeters in diameter, kept moving as the crowd moved. Their heavy breathing drowned out the breathing and footsteps of the crowd.

"Don't panic." Xu An picked up the flashlight and slowly moved forward. "They're a kind of industrial alien species that stores food. They won't come down without the mother's instructions."

After hearing these words, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little. Just as they let go of their held breath, a drop of sticky liquid suddenly dripped onto their heads.

Baili Yunle looked up and saw the alien creature holding on to the stone wall of the ceiling with its claws, twisting its head 180 degrees, opening its mouth wide and sticking out a tongue about one meter long.

"Oh my god!" Baili Yunle was so frightened that he quickly jumped back and drew his dagger to protect himself. "Xu...Xu An, are you sure these things won't come down on their own? If they all jump down at the same time, I'll be crushed to death just by smashing them!"

"If the mother body is not offended, it shouldn't happen." Xu An glanced at him and then turned his gaze to Feng Lan.

"It seems that this place is really an alien species' nest. If I go further down, I will definitely encounter female alien species." Feng Lan thought intently.

According to Xu An, the female alien species is too powerful. In addition, it can support such a large nest. The strength of the mother must be terrifying.

Moreover, with these engineered species hanging above their heads, even if they went down and encountered the mother body, these species would still block them in the opposite direction, and they would never be able to return to their original place.

Thinking of this, Feng Lan turned his gaze to Yao Yin and said, "No, can you detect more detailed terrain nearby?"

If there is no way out, then their current mission must be terminated, and they can only wait until the next new weapon is developed to see if there is another opportunity to come in.

Yao Yin also quickly took out the computer, and before she had time to put on leather gloves, the robotic arm extended dozens of mechanical hands again and began typing code.

"This place is a food storage area, but apart from some meat and nectar in the corner, there is no other food. Does this mean that there are not many of any kind of food here?" Xie Shuqin looked around and asked in confusion as the mechanical detector sounded.

Xu An raised his chin upon hearing the voice and pointed at the alien species above his head: "They are."

"They?" Xie Shuqin was a little surprised. "Does this mean that these engineered species are used to store food? Or are they the food?"

"Both." Xu An calmly recounted the vague memories that flashed through his mind. "Their digestive tracts are very weak, so they store meat or nectar in their abdomens. When they need to eat, they secrete the contents of their abdomens through the vents in their tails and feed them to their kind."

"And when food is insufficient, they will prioritize meeting the food needs of females, especially mothers, and serve as food."

Everyone was stunned.

Some people couldn't help but sigh: "How do you know this?"

Xie Shuqin immediately laughed out loud: "We discovered it during a previous ground mission, but we didn't have time to inform the commander yet."

Seeing everyone's skepticism, Baili Yunle immediately changed the subject, "So if we have the ability to eliminate these alien species, then the female alien species and the mothers will have no food, and they can be exhausted to death by us, right?"

Xu An shook his head: "The alien species can survive for up to two months without food. If it's just this little supply, it's impossible for them to die."

"This is simply too strong." Feng Lan covered his face with one hand and leaned against the car helplessly.

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound hit the brain nerves, and there was a buzzing in the ears. It took a few seconds for everyone to come to their senses.

Then, a rapid red light flashed throughout the room.

"What happened?"

Yao Yin half-knelt in front of the computer with difficulty, and used a robotic arm to pick up the severed robotic arm on the ground.

"The ant nest's AI protection program has activated." Yao Yin quickly took out her spare arm and installed it. "It's countering my intrusion."

The room began to shake violently, and the alien's tail on the ceiling swung around, with its tail fin almost hitting Xu An's face.

She quickly grabbed the dagger and chopped off the tail in front of her face. Sticky blood splattered on her face, and a pair of blood-red eyes shone through the dim light.

Xu An wiped the blood away with disdain. The tail in front of him twitched a few times and quickly retracted. The faint scent of supernatural energy filled the air, causing the aliens on the entire ceiling to tremble slightly.

"If you dare to inform her, I will crush you all into pieces." A strange whisper came from Xu An's throat, and the alien on the ceiling suddenly became much more obedient.

The vibrations finally settled down, and Xie Shuqin quickly ran to Xu An's side and wiped the blood from her eyes. "Xu An, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just their blood." Seeing that the blood had been wiped away, Xu An shook her head and pointed to a platform behind her that was slowly rising from the ground. "Look there."

As the platform slowly rose, the flickering red light around it finally stopped and turned into a dark red steady light, dyeing the entire room blood red.

As the lights came on, the surveillance camera in the corner became clearly visible, blinking at everyone like an eye.

Baili Yunle raised his knife to block the way: "Is this another bionic man coming out?"

"Not like it." Yao Yin put on the black leather gloves, picked up the computer, and walked to the raised platform.

As soon as I stopped, a "click" sound of mechanical operation was heard.

"Hello, please enter your password."

Everyone looked at each other.

Without saying a word, Yao Yin placed the computer on the platform and connected the two with a connector.

The mechanical voice sounded again: "I have been implanted with a self-destruct system. You cannot break in by force."

Yao Yin's hands paused as she typed on the keyboard.

The four of them glanced at each other, and Feng Lan lowered his brows: "Is this the masterpiece of the humans on the ground?"

Xu An nodded: "It seems so. Apart from them, no one else would make the self-destruct system so comprehensive."

In this regard, Xu An felt very real. After all, the underground nest she discovered last time was forcibly invaded by the people accompanying her, causing the AI ​​program to activate the self-destruct system. Seawater seeped into the soil, and the radiation directly destroyed the entire forest, turning it into a large Gobi desert.

"With such a comprehensive approach, the things down there are getting increasingly incredible." Baili Yunle looked at the dense swarms of alien species overhead and the obvious signs of life around them. "I have a terrifying suspicion."

"Shut up." Xie Shuqin immediately responded, "Don't be such a pessimist."

Baili Yunle remained silent, but the four of them knew what was going on.

This place is remote and difficult to find. It provides a good living environment for alien species, but it is also very easy to destroy the entire place. It is a perfect experimental base.

In addition, humans still don't know where alien species come from, or what kind of creatures they evolved or mutated from. Even Xu An, an alien himself, doesn't know where he came from. This proves that alien species appeared suddenly.

They traveled in groups without any awareness, gradually gaining wisdom as they evolved. And Xu An was the most outstanding among the alien species.

Once this thought came to mind, it was hard to get rid of it. Everyone shuddered and hesitated in their steps.

"In other words, the ant nest is actually a laboratory where humans on the ground produce alien species." Someone murmured, "Alien species are created by humans themselves."

"So where do they produce it? Even steel requires an assembly line."

"What kind of creatures have they mutated from? It's impossible for humans to mutate to this extent..."

The more they thought about it, the more agitated the crowd became.

The mechanical voice sounded again: "Please enter the password immediately."

Yao Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Lan: "Try it?"

"This..." Someone in the team retreated. "What should we do if all those down there are Level III aliens?"

The red light flashed again.

"The self-destruct sequence will be activated in 10 seconds. Please enter the password immediately!"

"Damn it!"

10 seconds was not enough for them to exit the tunnel!

The crowd erupted in excitement. Feng Lan immediately shouted, "Try now!"

Yao Yin replied impatiently, "Try again! Find a few more people to join us!"

"Nine……"

As the countdown approached, the gravity body immediately started to surround the surroundings. The people in the car kept their special powers in hand at all times, and the technicians frantically tapped the keyboard. The sound of "wrong password" came one after another.

"Four digits! It's four digits!"

“Eight…seven…”

Xu An suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted at Feng Lan, "Feng Lan, pull up Mu Yan's genetic file! The intern at the Institute of Biology! Look at her birthday!"

Feng Lan didn't dare to hesitate. He threw the dagger and immediately activated the chip. His five fingers almost became afterimages. Feng Lan felt that even when he was inside the mecha facing the cliffs, he had never operated the electronic buttons so quickly.

"three……"

Feng Lan looked up suddenly: "08:05! It's 08:05!"

"two……"

Yao Yin immediately entered the password: "Second your father!"

"one……"

A piercing sound deafened everyone's ears, and everyone trembled all over. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, mixed with the saliva of the aliens above their heads and fell to the ground.

After the humming sound, the cold mechanical voice was mixed with warmth for the first time: "The password is correct. It is opening for you."
