Shi Jin looked at the glass that was evenly thick and slightly raised toward one side, and suddenly he didn't know what to say...
It is obvious that the current level of technology of the alien beasts is not enough to produce this thing.
So, where did this glass come from? That rocket over there doesn't look like it has this kind of component on it...
Shi Jin picked up the palm-sized piece of glass from the ground, looked at it in the moonlight, and understood the whole thing.
This is a processed one-way mirror, as if a special layer of soil was brushed on the glass. The other side can be seen on the concave side, but the inside cannot be seen on the convex side.
Perhaps it was because a heavy rain one day washed away the dirt on the surface of this thing, making it visible again, or perhaps it was for some other reason. In short, a ray of moonlight was reflected through the opaque side and fell into the eyes of the beacon.
Shi Jin confirmed the question just now, but still felt it was a little outrageous...
No one should have been here before... She thought about it and felt that there would be something else to discover around.
The activation time of [Evanescent] has ended. A few dozen meters away, Fresnel's voice came through the short-range communicator:
“Why didn’t you withdraw it?”
"I think there's something else here..."
"One minute. At the same time, pay attention to your surroundings and be careful of danger."
"clear."
Shi Jin looked around and above his head, then began to search around the one-way glass.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a crooked tree.
The tree was about ten meters away from the debris. It was crooked from bottom to top like a bracket, as if it had experienced some kind of oppression or impact that forcibly changed its growth direction and then successfully grew back.
A cluster of shrub-like plants was also growing lushly under the crooked tree.
Shi Jin took two steps forward, pulled aside the bushes, and then froze in place.
"Hey, Shi Jin, what did you find?"
"Captain, you should come and see this..."
Hearing the team members' voices that were a little panicked but not fearful, Fresnel quickly stood up from the campfire.
He actually hated the night because he couldn't do much with his abilities.
But if your teammates are in danger...
The remaining four people hurried towards Shi Jin. Above their heads, a large patch of moonlight suddenly became dim, and instead, the road ahead of them became suddenly bright.
An invisible high-power searchlight seemed to appear in Fresnel's hand, bringing reassuring light to everyone in the woods late at night.
Wang Xiao still remembered Lin Qingliu's instructions. Although he put the other things in their original places, he still grabbed the helmet and started to act.
Several people came behind Shi Jin and quickly understood why this teammate was so shocked.
Under the crooked tree, beneath the lush and colorful bushes, there was a life-support capsule that was half buried in the ground!
Life support cabin.
This thing is very rare in Hope City, and many people have never even heard of it.
But Fresnel's team just happened to have a troublesome super-powered person who would start sleeping as soon as he activated his ability, so a life-support capsule that was 80% similar to that thing was being carried on the back of Wang Xiao's armor.
This thing is... used to pretend to be a person...
Shi Jin looked at several teammates with this sentence written in his eyes.
The others didn't know what to say. The life-support module was about thirty to forty meters away from the wreckage, and its size was consistent with the internal structure of the rocket.
Everyone suddenly realized something. They had heard about a rocket launch failure 20 years ago, but they had never thought about whether there were still people alive inside the rocket when it lost contact...
Looking at the life-support capsule with the observation window smashed to pieces and even some water accumulated inside, Fresnel confirmed that there were no living people inside at least for now.
This may be why that shrub grows stronger than the ones around it, as it has a water storage tank that belongs almost exclusively to it.
Of course, it doesn’t exist now.
After receiving instructions from the captain, Wang Xiao knocked off the debris that had not yet fallen off the observation window of the life-support module, then stood beside it and exerted force with both hands.
At the same time, his abilities were secretly activated, strengthening the muscle tissues in many parts of his body that gave him strength.
The wreckage of the life-support capsule was pulled up from the ground bit by bit, and was completely removed and placed on the ground to the side amid the silent admiration of the crowd.
“How do we deal with this thing?”
Wang Xiao wiped the non-existent sweat and pretended to be silent.
Fresnel thought for a moment and said:
"Take it back to the camp location now, and then contact the city."
Five minutes later, a burst of hurried footsteps woke Zhou Zhuo who had just fallen asleep.
Because today's discovery was too shocking, and because of the two poor students who knew nothing, Zhou Zhuo, as an ordinary human being, fell into a brief state of excitement under this double impact.
He finally overcame the feeling and fell asleep successfully, but the light sleep typical of middle-aged and elderly people suddenly woke him up by the sound of footsteps.
The footsteps are heavy at the front and light at the back, and the sound is hurried and somewhat weak. These should be Ji Yongxing's footsteps.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a bookish boy knocked on Zhou Zhuo's door.
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher, Fresnel's team has made another discovery."
"Anything else you found?"
Zhou Zhuo felt that he had a lot of surprises today, provided that the current situation was still within the scope of "today".
"Did they find the wreckage again?"
"Yes, right around the wreckage of the rocket. They found a ..."
"A what?"
"A life support pod."
"ah?"
Zhou Zhuo's reading glasses fell to the ground, making a "crackling" sound.
The dusty memories were awakened bit by bit, and Zhou Zhuo seemed to have returned to twenty years ago.
He had heard these discussions more than once when he occasionally had dinner with his friends, the ones who were in charge of exploring rockets.
There is one thing that Zhou Zhuo still remembers until now, that is, those friends said that the first batch of three rockets launched were purely unmanned plans, and there was no possibility of life support modules on them.
So, where did that thing come from?
In other words, is that thing really a life support capsule?
Is the team that is talking to the headquarters now really the same team from the daytime?
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Ji Yongxing saw Zhou Zhuo's pale face through the darkness and couldn't help but speak with concern.
"I'm fine, but... I feel a little strange. You must be careful in the conversation later. You are a young man with an active mind. If I say something wrong, you must remind me."
"good."
Looking at Zhou Zhuo's unfriendly expression, Ji Yongxing had some rough guesses about his teacher's thoughts.
Although he trusts his teacher very much, from a strength perspective, Ji Yongxing clearly has an organization he trusts more.
And the fact that one of that group was now on that team gave him a lot of confidence.
