Chapter 1471 Interstellar Rescue Team 19
The footprints that have just been made disappear immediately; how could the footprints of those who came before possibly remain?
Bai Ruxue's joy at her new discovery vanished immediately after Song Jinhuan reminded her of it. "Something's strange."
The trail of footprints was as if welded to the sand; no matter how the wind blew, the marks remained perfectly still.
Song Jinhuan couldn't help but speculate: "The previous teams were very likely misled by this set of footprints."
"Of course, the person who made this set of footprints may have had two intentions."
"First, everyone knew the footprints were strange, so they chose another direction."
"Secondly, everyone knew that the footprints were strange, but they still went there with the idea of finding out."
"Judging from the team's loss of contact, either choice is extremely unfavorable."
Bai Ruxue's expression turned serious. "Then what should we do?"
Song Jinhuan looked at the series of large footprints and asked, "Look, what's under these footprints? Why can't the wind blow the sand on top of them?"
Bai Ruxue immediately waved, signaling her teammates behind her to check the situation.
She pulled a specially made dagger from her combat uniform and plunged it into the footprint.
The next second, each grain of sand seemed to come alive, climbing up the dagger.
Bai Ruxue exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, it's a sandworm!"
She quickly pulled out her phone and took a small bottle of gasoline from her backpack. As she sprayed the footprints, she also lit the lighter.
"With a bang, the footprints were burned to a crisp, and a foul odor instantly filled the air."
As the dagger struck the ground, the surrounding yellow sand began to flow down, and gradually, the pit in the middle grew larger and larger.
Teammates standing next to the other footprints also felt their bodies sinking deeper and deeper.
"Oh no, quicksand!" Someone shouted first. When the first person was pulled down by the quicksand, the teammate next to them instinctively bent down and grabbed them.
Then, they grabbed one by one, one after another.
A dark hole appeared below, and the foul smell emanating from it was so familiar.
Song Jinhuan quickly said, "Let go, let go now!"
Bai Ruxue's face flushed red. She grabbed one in each hand and pulled it out with all her might, gritting her teeth as she said, "I can't let go, my hands are full of sandworms."
Song Jinhuan strengthened his mental power, controlling the speed at which the quicksand sank, and then diverted a portion of his mental power onto their intertwined hands.
Just then, the spaceship suddenly experienced a violent jolt.
Song Jinhuan let out a muffled groan, which Bai Ruxue overheard. "What's wrong on your end?"
Unable to withdraw his mental energy, Song Jinhuan could only forcibly separate another portion to block out the movement of the spaceship. His voice remained as calm as ever as he said, "It's alright, Captain Bai, let go quickly!"
The sandworms have been strangled.
Bai Ruxue felt a little relieved after learning that the spaceship was safe, but the current situation was far from optimistic.
Her tone was exceptionally serious: "Commander Duan, the mucus secreted by sandworms after they die has extremely strong viscosity and a certain degree of corrosiveness."
She took a deep breath and continued, "There are eggs in the mucus, so we are very likely infected."
"Commander Duan, the sandworms on Planet Kum are extraordinary. Please bring this information back and withdraw your mental energy."
"We can't hold out for long."
Song Jinhuan's pupils were locked. Just as Bai Ruxue finished speaking, the black hole below became infinitely large, and the sand flow could no longer be controlled by mental power. All twelve people fell down.
In the blink of an eye, the black hole shrank continuously until it returned to its original state.
The footprints lay there quietly.
Song Jinhuan quickly withdrew her mental energy to fight off the attack from outside the spaceship.
She must get back alive.
Above Special Operations Area A, a hurried mechanical command sound hovered.
"The A89 spacecraft is under attack from an unknown source. Eagle Squadron, please provide support."
