Chapter 117: Stay Vigilant
"Are the explosives we set up so powerful?" Because they were brought to this place by this spaceship without any special preparation, and there were not many weapons and ammunition for them to use on the spaceship, so the only things they could use were those they brought with them. They were enough for mobile combat, but it was still a bit difficult to use them to blow up a base. Their original idea was to blow up the laboratory where the hibernation capsule was stored.
But now, looking at the raging flames in the rear from afar, the intensity was so strong that it was like a cosmic storm. If they ran any later, they would have to worry about being swept into it and burned to ashes.
"Maybe the ammunition hidden in the abandoned base was detonated by the explosion?" Yuan Hongwei is the most knowledgeable about thermal weapons, and he is definitely the most professional in the Goshawk team when it comes to this kind of thing.
But at this moment, the tone of his voice unconsciously carried a hint of doubt.
"No matter what the reason is, after the explosion, those hibernation pods are definitely finished. There is no need to worry about those alien parasites coming back to life!" Lao Ba's words hit the nail on the head, immediately giving everyone a reason to breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
But in the end, this weirdness left an indelible shadow in everyone's heart. They always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on the feeling, and they felt inexplicably depressed.
He Ziqian felt the same way. He frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, then turned to look at Ruan Xi beside him, "Do you have any opinion?"
"Probably... a feeling of giving up halfway?" Ruan Xi couldn't tell whether his description of his feelings was correct, and his expression was filled with uncertainty and doubt.
Does this "giving up halfway" refer to them, or...to the alien race?
Ruan Xi was concentrating on his thoughts and was still lost in thought. He Ziqian called him several times but got no response, so he didn't bother him anymore. He turned around and discussed the return journey with the other team members.
At this moment, Xu Ze suddenly raised his hand with an expression that said "I want to speak" and looked quite nervous.
"Hey, little brother, what are you doing? Why do you look like a good student? Are you scared by the explosion just now?" Guo Wenkai walked over and hooked his arm around Xu Ze's shoulder, with a half-smile on his face, teasing him openly.
Normally, everyone in the team treats Xu Ze as a younger brother. Not to mention the lively ones, even the most taciturn Yin Hui has to tease him from time to time.
"No... I wasn't scared, it's just... I just tried to copy a copy of the base system log in that alien base, and then I came back and tried to crack it..." Xu Ze seemed to find it quite incredible. There was a look of doubt in his eyes, and he stuttered when he spoke.
Hearing this, Lao Ba continued, "And then you really cracked it?" As he spoke, Lao Ba's eyes widened.
After all, Lao Ba and Xu Ze were half in the same profession. They usually dealt with technical issues, but the division of labor was more detailed. However, everyone knew how talented Xu Ze was in system operation.
"Uh, I really cracked it, it's all here..." Xu Ze still felt embarrassed and showed everyone what he had cracked.
This is a shocking story. It is simply a history of alien invasions, not only related to humans, but also to other races. They have never even heard of some of those races, but their endings do not seem to be very good. Even if they are not directly wiped out by aliens, only a few poor seed players are left.
Of course, the focus of the group is naturally the history of alien invasion of humans, when did it start, how did they invade, when and where did they fight, what were the results, how much benefit did they get, why did they suddenly retreat, etc. The system log explains everything clearly, which perfectly solves all their demands for alien research.
But precisely because of this, they could not believe what they saw.
In reality, the aliens' reasons for invasion were 90% consistent with Ruan Xi's speculation. The remaining 10% revolved around these 90% reasons, remaining within a broad framework with no intention of straying from it. Back then, the aliens were indeed intent on the continuation of their own race, wantonly invading other races. No matter the extent of the invasion, they would not stop until their goal was achieved. After countless invasions, the aliens' genetic defects had indeed been greatly improved, and they were once very proud of this.
However, the good times did not last long. They hit a big snag with humans. It was not that humans were so powerful that they could beat the aliens so badly that they dared not approach human territory again. Instead, their genetic defects began to rebound and relapse, and became even more serious than the initial ones, forcing the aliens to withdraw their troops, hide in dark corners to heal their wounds, and think of new self-rescue plans.
The alien races would never think about whether their self-rescue plan is the path to destruction of other races. The alien races are extremely selfish and only see their own interests. Perhaps, it is this extreme selfishness that has led to their gradual decline!
Because no matter how hard they try, the genetic defect becomes more and more serious, and the symptoms worsen faster and faster. On the contrary, if they do nothing and just stay quietly, the deterioration of the genetic defect will slow down, and even when they lie dormant long enough, the deterioration will stop completely.
This was completely unacceptable to the alien race who were accustomed to invasion and brutality. So, since they could not go out and cause trouble on their own, they created a parasite and released it out to continue causing trouble, and they could always achieve their original goal.
In the final analysis, it is their inherent aggressive nature. It has nothing to do with whether the race can continue. As long as it can satisfy their desire for aggression, they will do anything.
But perhaps even God couldn't stand the aliens' actions. Just before they were about to release a large number of alien parasites into human habitats, everything came to an abrupt stop. The adult aliens disappeared, and the immature parasites left in the base slept quietly in the hibernation capsule until they were discovered again.
This is a complete logical chain and a detailed criminal process. The only unclear part is that all the adults of the alien race disappeared in the end. Maybe they were destroyed overnight by a mysterious force, or maybe they just hid themselves and waited for the opportunity to make a comeback.
As for the latter, humans are definitely on guard against it at all times, never relaxing for even a second.
"This story is almost complete. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway." Yuan Hongwei fully demonstrated his talkative nature, read the entire text with emotion, and expressed his own feelings first.
I don't believe you! Can alien races be good? Can they really record their history in its entirety for humans to see?
Haha, even the result of Xu Ze suddenly unlocking the system log is so mysterious that anyone who believes it is an idiot!
"Why not believe it? There's nothing to lose by believing it. After all, even if a peaceful era is truly approaching and alien races really will never appear again, then even if there are no alien races, perhaps there are other races? Who knows which big boss will suddenly decide to invade others."
Ruan Xi didn't have any special feelings. Whether he believed it or not, the probability was 50-50. He was just casually expressing his thoughts.
But when you listen to it, it feels so reasonable.
"Ruan Xi is right. Whether we believe it or not, it will not affect our defense against the invaders. We should do what we should do and never let down our guard against the enemy. When it is time for us to stand up, we just need to rush forward." He Ziqian said this calmly, but there was a special power that inspired people and made everyone excited.
"Yes, Captain!"
The excited posture, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, made Ruan Xi feel a little amused and helpless.
But although he could figure it out, he actually felt that this kind of history with perfect details was really too real. If it was too real, wouldn't it give people a false feeling?
But whether it was true or false, they had no way to verify it, so they could only give up for the time being.
The spacecraft sailed smoothly out of the meteor belt. Looking back, the entire meteor belt was no longer as clear as when they came. It seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog. They could not even see the outermost areas clearly.
This meteorite belt has become a natural cemetery for thousands of alien parasites. I hope that those lives that have not had time to do anything can rest in peace.
The spaceship gradually moved away from the meteorite belt. Everyone returned to their respective positions and was about to activate the automatic navigation mode and return directly to the original location, but...
"Captain, the automatic navigation mode... is gone." Lao Ba was also full of disbelief. He had dragged Xu Ze to check the system inside and out several times, but apart from the results, he could not find any useful information. The two technicians were both completely confused.
"What do you mean disappeared? It was there when we came, but disappeared when we left? This design is too awesome! If we can go back to the Imperial Capital Star, we will definitely take this spaceship apart for research!" Ren Wei was the first to respond. He casually touched Xu Ze's drooping head. He didn't like seeing his younger brother looking so depressed.
"It's like an automatic deletion program. Once a certain point is triggered, the deletion program will be automatically started, and the set information will be completely deleted. You can't find it back..." Damn, the system of this spacecraft was completely unable to intervene before, and nothing could be done. Now that it can be operated, the most critical information has been automatically deleted again.
It’s really infuriating!
"Then let's go back by ourselves!" Ruan Xi's words easily attracted everyone's attention, even He Ziqian was surprised.
But He Ziqian soon realized it. He leaned over to Ruan Xi's ear and whispered, "Is it the little tree that can show me the way?" "It's smart."
Oh, he is worthy of being the boyfriend chosen by him. His brain works faster than others.
