Chapter 116 Destruction [Second Update]
The members of the Goshawk Squad made a quick search in this simple and crude base and found that there was not a single alien here. It was obvious that this was an abandoned base. The aliens here were either dead or evacuated, leaving them with only an empty city.
But why would the alien spacecraft use the automatic driving program to return to this base many years later, carrying the parasites they created?
I always feel that there is another deeper meaning, but they just haven't discovered it yet.
"Search again carefully and don't miss any clues. The return of this spaceship here must have its significance." He Ziqian gave the order, and all the teammates agreed and took action quickly.
In a flash, only Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were left by the spaceship.
Alas, it’s impossible to show less dog food, as everyone always likes to create opportunities for them to be alone!
"Let's go and look for it. Oh, by the way, take the rice dumpling with you!" Ruan Xi had just taken two steps forward when he remembered the alien parasite that was wrapped like a rice dumpling by the small tree. He quickly asked the small tree to pick up the rice dumpling and called He Ziqian to leave quickly.
As for the spaceship, they couldn't control it anyway. They really didn't have time to care whether there would be any accidents. Let it be whatever it wanted. At worst, they could just drive the mecha out. Anyway, Xu Ze and Lao Ba had already recorded the route.
After going on several missions with the Goshawk Team, Ruan Xi has become accustomed to working alone with He Ziqian when something happens, and has never encountered any unexpected situations. He has become indifferent to this and is too lazy to investigate the reasons.
Anyway, he and He Ziqian are lovers. Lovers will stay together whenever they have the chance, and will create opportunities if there is no chance. Isn't that normal?
Ruan Xi has his own twisted ideas about love, and he believes in them completely and intends to stick with them. No matter how many people watch and talk about him, he won't feel embarrassed at all.
They are in love, and he is not breaking the law or harming others or society, so who can he bother?
Can't stand it? If you can't stand it, just find someone to date. Why are you always staring at them?
He is so self-righteous, the kind that seems to be justified wherever he goes!
"Let's go over there and take a look..." Ruan Xi followed his feelings as always, and He Ziqian followed Ruan Xi as always. It had become a habit for them.
However, today was destined to be unusual.
"Captain, little doctor, I just searched this place, no problem. I'm going over there now, bye." Ren Wei and Xu Ze reported, then ran away without Ruan Xi even having a chance to say a word.
"How about we go over and take another look?" After all, Ruan Xi's feeling has never been wrong, and He Ziqian has always been confident in finding bargains.
"No, I don't think there should be anything here." Ruan Xi immediately rejected it and took the lead to move forward.
“Here…”
"Ah, captain, little miracle doctor, I've looked here and there's nothing. Save your time and let's move on." Guo Wenkai and Yin Hui also hurried over, still without giving Ruan Xi a chance to reply.
Ruan Xi: “…”Have these guys made an appointment?
Then, the same situation occurred in the next few places. After similar encounters happened a few times, anyone with a normal IQ would have noticed that something was wrong.
"These guys are taking revenge on us for being able to date while they can't have any?" Ruan Xi narrowed his eyes and spoke sharp words that immediately pierced the faces of his teammates who were hiding in the dark and peeking at them.
"The little genius doctor has such a poisonous mouth..."
"We don't have any romantic relationships, it sounds so pitiful..."
"I also want to fall in love, but where is my partner..."
These guys didn't try to lower their voices when complaining and grumbling. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian couldn't ignore them. They walked to a corner with a mixture of laughter and tears, and sure enough, they saw a group of mushrooms squatting there.
"Why, are you all squatting here thinking about your partner?"
Teammates: “…” Damn, a piercing arrow to the heart, the little doctor is so poisonous!
Deputy Captain Han Qing: "..." I'm not, I don't have any, I was just dragged here to make up the numbers! He actually has a fiancée in his hometown who he's been engaged to since childhood...
"Are you all free?" He Ziqian crossed his arms and took two steps forward, scanning everyone with cold eyes. The freezing effect immediately reached its peak, freezing everyone so much that they shivered and roared, and stood up collectively.
"Not idle! Get to work right away!"
Then, the group of people scattered in pairs, retreating so quickly that in the blink of an eye, not a single figure could be seen. Seeing this, Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing out loud.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Serious Vice Captain Han Qing: "..." I'm not! I didn't! Little Miracle Doctor, please don't wrongly accuse me! However, the Vice Captain, who was dragged away by his teammates, had no time to defend himself and could only roar silently in his heart.
This time, the area was truly cleared. No one showed up to cause trouble in any of the places they wanted to check. After checking more than ten rooms smoothly, they unknowingly came to a mountain wall. The wall looked completely natural, with no signs of artificial excavation at all. Logically, there was nothing suspicious about it.
However, Ruan Xi just stared at the mountain wall and refused to move.
"Is there something wrong with this mountain wall?" He Ziqian knew this routine too well. He was mentally prepared to dig through the mountain wall and was always ready to call his teammates to come and dig together.
"I smell... the same smell as this thing."
In fact, it is hard to say whether it was the smell or some other sense, anyway, it was a very inexplicable feeling that made him sure that there was something wrong with the mountain wall.
"Alien?"
"Maybe it's a parasite. There must be something in this mountain wall, Xiaoshu, don't you think so?" This time, Xiaoshu didn't react at all. Ruan Xi felt a little strange and asked a question specifically.
"I don't know, I didn't feel it..." Xiaoshu was also a little confused. Every time before, he could definitely feel what Ruan Xi could feel, and he could also feel what Ruan Xi couldn't feel. Why didn't it work today? Was it Ruan Xi's perception that was wrong, or was there something wrong with his perception?
"Let's dig open the mountain wall first." Ruan Xi held to the principle that it is better to believe it than not to believe it. With a wave of her hand, He Ziqian immediately took out the tools to start digging. They originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but in the end, the seemingly incomparably solid mountain wall immediately made a big hole with one shovel. With another shovel, they didn't even have to do anything. An archway collapsed directly on the mountain wall, and the opening and closing were quite regular, just like a reserved door that was just covered with something.
He Ziqian and Ruan Xi looked at each other, but did not act rashly. Instead, they called their teammates together, made all the necessary arrangements, and then walked into the door.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a sudden opening in front of you. This is not just a laboratory, but also an overly formal... nursery. The hibernation capsules are neatly arranged like cribs. The life monitor on each capsule is on, indicating that the capsule is in normal operating condition.
When everyone saw what was in the hibernation capsule, they immediately felt sick.
"Fuck, how many hibernation pods are there? Every one of them is filled with these little monsters..."
"At least a thousand of them are still alive. I can even see the rise and fall of their chests..."
"Are they all going to be killed?" Lao Ba said in an innocent manner, expressing everyone's thoughts.
With so many alien parasites, if we don't kill them, can we take them home and raise them as pets? I'm afraid we'll drive humans to extinction!
"Take away one sample and destroy all the rest, including this one." He Ziqian made a decision quickly, and also made a decision about the alien parasite that they first caught and brought here.
"Yes, Captain." The others scattered and got busy, preparing to lay enough bombs to blow the entire abandoned base into ashes. Even if these hibernation capsules were explosion-resistant enough, without the base's energy supply, these capsules would soon stop working, and the things inside would naturally have no way out.
Ruan Xi asked the small tree to retract its branches and let go of the alien parasite. Now it stopped screaming and just stared at them with a sinister sneer on the corner of its lips, as if it was brewing some grand plan of mutual destruction, which looked particularly creepy.
Anyway, Ruan Xi really didn't like that kind of look, so he asked Xiaoshu to throw this creepy thing away.
"Should we take the hibernation capsule back with us? I have a feeling this thing is hard to dismantle..." Ruan Xi just casually expressed his immediate feelings, and it turned out to be right. He Ziqian, a mechanic expert, was actually helpless with the hibernation capsule. He could neither open it nor dismantle it, and even violent destruction didn't work. It was really despairing.
"Captain, let me try." Then, the members of the Goshawk Team lined up and tried one by one. If this hibernation chamber didn't work, they would switch to another one and continue. They struggled for almost an hour, but couldn't even remove a single screw... Well, there aren't any screws here at all, because they are all cast in one piece!
"Captain, this base can be blown up, right?" Lao Ba honestly expressed his concerns, then quickly covered his mouth and signaled to everyone with his eyes - you treat me as nothing.
But the problem is, you have already said it, it's like an arrow piercing my heart!
"boom……"
At this moment, there was a loud noise coming from the front. It didn't sound like a bomb exploding, but more like the sound of a human body exploding. Ruan Xi was very familiar with this sound, because he died in this way in his previous life. He suddenly felt a little unwell.
"He Ziqian, did that alien parasite self-destruct?" Although he felt uncomfortable, Ruan Xi still expressed his guess. Someone immediately went over to confirm the situation, and his face looked even worse when he came back.
"That thing must have self-destructed, Captain, let's retreat." The self-destruction of one alien parasite is not scary, but what is scary is that thousands of alien parasites sleeping in the hibernation capsule self-destructed at the same time. I'm afraid that even a black hole can be blown out in the universe. How can they leave any residue behind?
No one wants to die quietly in this desolate place!
"Retreat!" He Ziqian gave the order immediately, and everyone turned around and ran towards the spaceship. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian ran at the end. Neither of them noticed that the small tree quietly extended two branches and tied a hibernation capsule. The branches retracted again and again, and finally, without Ruan Xi noticing, it was directly put into the atlas space.
Fortunately, the spacecraft was still parked in its original place, and the original automatic driving mode had been released, allowing manual driving. Everyone immediately took their positions in front of the console, started the spacecraft as quickly as possible, and flew away from the original place.
The spaceship was able to safely pass through the meteorite belt when it came, and it could naturally do so when it left. When the spaceship took them headfirst into the meteorite belt, continuous loud noises came from behind, and the abandoned base was engulfed in flames in an instant.
