Chapter 114: Spaceship Launch [2nd Update]
"Little monster, don't you think he looks familiar?" Ruan Xi tapped Zhao Lianshi's head without hesitation, urging him to take a closer look at the alien's face. "Do you have any impression of him?"
Zhao Lianshi was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted and pointed at the alien, his face changing instantly.
"Alien... alien alien alien... alien! There are actually aliens on our planet!" Zhao Lianshi subconsciously wanted to hide backward, but unexpectedly He Ziqian was behind him and bumped into his knee directly. Feeling the pain in his back, Zhao Lianshi subconsciously moved forward, and was in a state of confusion.
"We've only caught this one so far, and he exists on this planet as a parasite," Ruan Xi said, using the terminal to take a picture of Zhao Lianshi's bloody back. "It's quite scary, but you're lucky to be alive."
Ruan Xi did not tell Zhao Lianshi the specific treatment process, but only advised him to cherish his life more.
"If you feel unwell in the future, remember to seek medical attention in time."
"Oh..." Zhao Lianshi was still a little confused, but Ruan Xi didn't say anything more. He asked He Ziqian to gather the other members of the Goshawk Squad. After sending Zhao Lianshi away, they would conduct a carpet search of the spaceship and not miss any clues.
Ren Wei and Xu Ze were the first to arrive. When they saw the shrunken version of the alien, which was still alive, they were shocked, not surprisingly.
"Alive! But why is it so small? Is it malnourished?" Ren Wei was simply a poor-mannered person. It was not known whether the alien could understand him or not. Anyway, as soon as Ren Wei finished speaking, the alien began to scream and yell. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like an uncivilized beast, the kind that was completely impossible to communicate with.
"This should not be the alien body, but a differentiated parasite. This alien parasite is parasitic on Zhao Lianshi." There was no need for them to describe the result in detail. Ren Wei already had the correct answer in his mind.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Shitou, you're so miserable. How come you are entangled by such an ugly thing?" Ren Wei was still in the mood to make fun of him, but Xu Ze noticed the urgency of time.
"Brother Wei, stop kidding! The migration ship to Yulan Star is about to depart in half an hour. We have to get everyone there quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes, his body is still a little weak now, but it's not a big problem. He can go find a doctor to treat the external injuries after boarding the spacecraft." As for the internal injuries, he had almost cured them with acupuncture just now, so there was no need to pay too much attention to them.
"Okay, I'll drive him there in my mecha." Ren Wei immediately put on a serious face. After answering, he took Zhao Lianshi, who was obviously a little out of shape, and rushed towards the airport.
The speed of the mecha is naturally incomparable to other means of transportation. It only took seven minutes to send people to the airport. At this time, everyone had discovered that Zhao Lianshi was missing. When they were about to go out to look for him, they saw Ren Wei carrying Zhao Lianshi and jumping directly from the cockpit of the mecha, landing steadily in front of them.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Ren Wei. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy such attention, and Ren Wei was quite happy. After posing for a few seconds, he returned to the topic, boarded the mecha, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Ren Wei returned to the spacecraft, the search operation officially began. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were still a group and old partners.
Originally, Ruan Xi was extremely interested in this search mission and was hoping to find a few more alien species to study. However, he didn't know what was inexplicably connected to his mind, but he suddenly started thinking about the problem of alien parasites.
After others know the answer, they may no longer care, but this kind of thing will never happen to Ruan Xi. For things he cares about, he must know the facts and the reasons behind them. How can he feel at ease if he doesn't know the ins and outs?
"He Ziqian, if there really is an alien race behind that research institute, then is it possible that the parasite is what they really want to study? No, they have already succeeded..." After all, the real case is right next to them, and they can't help but believe it.
"Go on." He Ziqian did not rush to speak, but urged Ruan Xi to continue.
"If the evolution of the alien race encounters a bottleneck, the solution they find is to use their own body to separate the parasite, sneak into the target territory they have set their eyes on, and do what they want quietly." He Ziqian understood what the alien race wanted to do better than anyone else. For a moment, his face was terribly cold.
If Ruan Xi's "if" is true, then how many such parasites have already sneaked into the Yinyu Empire, and what serious consequences will it cause.
"We have no way of determining how many such alien parasites there are, and how many have successfully parasitized and infiltrated the Yinyu Empire." He Ziqian was extremely worried, and he couldn't relax with his brows furrowed.
"Think about it, maybe we are lucky, and the one we catch will be the only one released." Ruan Xi himself understood how idealistic such expectations were, but dreams must always be fulfilled, otherwise wouldn't life be too boring?
"...Thank you for your good wishes." When He Ziqian said this, Ruan Xi seemed to hear He Ziqian's silent prayer, and instantly he stopped being so aloof and became quite down-to-earth.
"Well, my luck has always been good, so it's worth looking forward to."
After all this commotion, the two of them relaxed a lot and continued their search. However, they didn't find any valuable clues until they walked into an empty room that looked ordinary, but to Ruan Xi, it felt strange.
"There is no mechanism, and no folding space." Ruan Xi felt something was wrong, and He Ziqian immediately started to check carefully, but the rooms of this kind of spaceship are basically made of one piece, and there is not even a crack in the wall. The room is empty, without even any furniture, and you can see the end at a glance. There is really no place to hide.
But the strange feeling in Ruan Xi's heart did not dissipate at all, but became stronger and stronger.
"No, there must be something fishy in this room." It was not only because of Ruan Xi's own intuition, but also because Xiaoshu also began to call out continuously.
"Xiaoshu, what did you find? Can you help me find it?" This spaceship wasn't originally a product of the Yinyu Empire. Whether it was materials, energy, or technology, the current Yinyu Empire couldn't match it. Even if they wanted to imitate it, they still had a long way to go in research. Even after a thorough investigation, if Xiaoshu found some new clues, Ruan Xi didn't think anything was wrong.
After all, the plane where the aliens are located is higher than the plane they are in, and this is a reality they have to admit.
Seeing that Ruan Xi had no intention of leaving, He Ziqian didn't say much and continued to look for clues naturally. He was so focused on the search that he didn't notice a soft branch that appeared out of thin air. Until he finally found an extremely tiny abnormal protrusion, he was about to turn around and call Ruan Xi when he felt his fingertips touch something. He subconsciously looked down and saw a familiar green.
"Little Tree?"
"Yes, I asked Xiaoshu to help." Ruan Xi admitted it straightforwardly without further explanation. He immediately ran over to check the joint discovery of He Ziqian and Xiaoshu.
It was an extremely tiny protrusion, the same color as the surrounding area. It was so tiny that even if you checked carefully, you could still miss it again and again.
He Ziqian used a strong flashlight to shine on the tiny protrusion, but still couldn't find a gap, nor could he press it down. He felt that this protrusion was just an insignificant accident in the casting process and was not worth mentioning at all.
But the little tree insisted on staying there without moving, obviously because he was sure that there was something wrong.
He Ziqian felt helpless. After trying again and again, it was all in vain. He couldn't help but sigh softly, "How about letting someone else try?"
There is strength in numbers. Maybe someone will accidentally trigger the secret mechanism?
"Let me try it first!" Ruan Xiluo raised his right hand high in a playful manner, and smiled with curved eyebrows. Looking at He Ziqian, he couldn't feel depressed at all, and unconsciously raised a smile.
"Okay, you try it."
Being able to pamper someone is definitely a man’s talent, and he doesn’t need to learn it!
Ruan Xi came over with great interest, looked left and right but didn't know where to start, so he didn't bother to follow the rules, and just used his ten fingers to press hard at different angles and with different strengths. He didn't know which finger, angle or strength hit the key point, but they heard a slight clicking sound and stopped their movements immediately.
"It seems like... I pressed it?" Damn, he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere to prevent his boyfriend from getting hurt, but he didn't expect that after pressing so randomly, he actually hit the target?
Is it really necessary to be so mysterious! Is he really reborn in the interstellar era, rather than the era of the Xuanmen Great Prosperity?
"Well, be careful..." Before He Ziqian finished speaking, he felt a slight tremor under his feet. He instinctively reached out and pulled Ruan Xi into his arms to protect her. He looked around vigilantly, ready to retreat at any time.
The branches of the small tree were also retracted and tightly wrapped around Ruan Xi's left arm. Together with He Ziqian, they formed a semi-encircled protective posture for Ruan Xi, one on the left and one on the right. These two generals looked quite capable.
"The room is shaking, right?" After waiting for ten seconds, the shaking continued, but there was no subsequent new development, which made their hearts hang high in the air and unable to settle down.
He Ziqian frowned slightly, carefully feeling the vibrations beneath his feet. Then, the more he felt it, the more familiar it became, as if he had experienced it before, definitely many times...
"This is the vibration when the spacecraft starts..."
"Someone started the spaceship? That's not right. The people in our Goshawk Squad are not so unreliable..."
Even Ruan Xi understood this truth, so how could He Ziqian not understand it? After thinking about it, the only abnormality was the unintentional poke that Ruan Xi had just made.
And that tiny, almost unnoticeable bump on the wall just now.
"Captain, little doctor, the spaceship suddenly started up and is now on autopilot!"
Ren Wei's voice suddenly came from far away, and the two looked at each other, and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.
The spaceship really started!
