Chapter 169 Chapter 169 The bones are all white, the blood is all...
"First of all, Mars has an atmosphere, but it's very thin. Even if I were to transform back into an Earthling, it would be enough to support me in a spacesuit before the oxygen in my lungs ran out. In fact, I think we can only wear oxygen masks this time, and there's no need for a full-body spacesuit."
The big orange crab slowly moved its four long orange legs, turned around in small steps, bent down slightly, and gently tapped its orange head towards Li Hua.
"Besides, it's not about using your hands, it's about using your brain."
The Brocatus can emit powerful electrical currents from their brains simply by thinking.
After Crab Armor Mastermind finished his usual conceited speech, his bright orange skull, which was split in two, flipped up like the hood of a car, and his huge pink brain emitted a dazzling electric current that blasted towards the tightly closed metal tomb door.
Li Hua: "Don't you have a super brain? Don't you have super intelligence? Why did you choose to attack with force?"
He thought Benjamin transformed into Crab Mastermind in order to crack the security measures like a hacker.
Crab Armor Mastermind: "That's fast."
Li Hua: "It's indeed fast. How do we open the door afterwards? Can the Omnitrix's transformation last long enough?"
There are so many doors here, and judging by the structure, there are several floors. If they were to force them all open one by one, they wouldn't be able to finish them all this week. They might as well just disable the security system!
"......" Crab Armor Mastermind remained silent, and his brain emitted a stronger electric current to wrestle with the energy shield of the protection system.
Li Hua: "Have you seen through the truth? Behind this door is the central control room?"
He was still too impatient. Crab Armor Mastermind was so smart that it was unlikely that he didn't notice this.
Crab Armor Mastermind: "Uh..."
Li Hua:.......
Li Hua: "You haven't thought about outsmarting me at all, have you?"
Crab Master: "Sometimes, thinking one step at a time is also a kind of wisdom."
"You haven't thought about it at all!" Li Hua was very disappointed. "That's why you are so stupid even though your IQ is so high now!"
Crab Mastermind: "I told you last time that being 'dumb' isn't a result of my intelligence, it's a result of my personality. The Omnitrix only changed my life form, but it didn't change who I am inside."
Doesn’t that mean that you are a fool at heart?
Li Hua was planning to have some meaningless chat with Benjamin to add some liveliness to the quiet and somewhat creepy scene, when he saw a burst of electric sparks suddenly explode on the wall that was electrocuted by Crab Armor Mastermind.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding buzzing sound and the shock wave of the explosion, a hole that emitted electric light was blown open in the metal door.
"When it's done, I'll say my method works too."
The Crab Armor Mastermind's head shell retracted and closed, and his bright orange abdominal feet made a series of crisp sounds on the metal floor. He used his sharp and sturdy claws to tear the hole bigger, big enough for teenage Earthlings and Nakfuji babies to pass through.
After doing all this, Benjamin returned to the magic shield created by Li Hua and put on his aviation suit again: "Now that one is open, let's go in and take a look."
It is called a tomb, but the structure inside is a bit like a huge chest of drawers arranged together. Some of the "drawers" have names engraved on the front, while some do not.
Li Hua and Benjamin worked together to pull open the nearest metal drawer with a name on it. As the Omnitrix announced, they could clearly see the contents of the drawer - a pile of white bones, a small photo frame next to it, with a vague image of a white Martian in his original form, and some other small things that looked a bit like burial objects.
These are all the things in a drawer that carries a life.
Martians can fly. These crowded drawer tombs directly hit the ceiling. Li Hua estimated the number of drawers here and decisively chose to give up: "Ben, after the Omnitrix buffer ends, use your invincible Kryptonian."
They can't finish it all. With just the two of them drawing this amount by hand, they won't be able to finish it in a week.
"I'm going with Stingray." Benjamin stood inside the magic shield, spinning the Omnitrix dial. "Stingray is faster. If I use Kryptonian, I'm afraid I might accidentally overturn someone's grave."
"Anyone will do. Otherwise, if it's just the two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the draws until next year..."
A green light flashed, and a strange creature with black and yellow skin, two shoulders with sharp corners pointing upwards like canyons, a metal head floating in the "canyon", and hands and feet like crab claws looked at its new body blankly.
"...That being said, you can't change into everything!"
Li Hua continued to maintain the magic shield and asked.
"Didn't you say it's a stingray? Which alien hero is this?"
"I don't know. I've never seen this guy before." Benjamin observed his new body curiously. "I'm sure I'm going to turn into a stingray... Whatever. I decided to call him Lodesta!"
Li Hua glanced at the ice ghost cub next to him, and his expression gradually became frightened.
The transformation form selected before transformation was pushed out - why does this scene look so familiar!
Could there be something wrong with Azmis's birth control plug?
No! He doesn't want to take care of new kids anymore!
"It's probably because when Crab Mastermind used electricity to destroy the security system just now, the Omnitrix was affected by the magnetic field."
The encyclopedia of No. 666 is here again.
"But this time Ben is good. This is a Biotsavartian from Maxwell, born with the ability to control electromagnetism."
Li Hua: "Alien version of Hua O Superman!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hua regretted it.
If Benjamin is Flower O Man based on his color scheme and current abilities, then wouldn't I be Sweet O Man if I use a shield and wear pink clothes?
Most importantly, Flower-O-Man is green! Polaris has no green at all except for his eyes and the Omnitrix on his chest.
So he quickly made up for his mistake: "Oh no! Flower-O Superman is originally an alien and he's a robot, so he should be the alien version of Magneto!"
"That's pretty rigorous, man!" Benjamin wanted to give a thumbs up, but Polaris had no fingers, only pincers, so he could only wave his arms and accidentally hit the protective shield.
No. 666: "Li Hua can release the shield. The Oshawa people are a species that does not need to breathe. They can survive independently in the universe."
As soon as the protective shield was opened, Benjamin, who had obtained a new alien, was as happy as Beagle out of the cage. He raised his two golden pliers and used electromagnetic waves to easily pull out the drawers on the entire wall.
"Cool—hey! What else can I do now?"
Polaris cheered and tried to use magnetism on the metal floor beneath his feet. He was even more excited when he found that he could not only control the metal, but also use the repulsive magnetic force to lift his feet off the ground to achieve a short flight effect, and even stand directly on the metal cabinet at a 90-degree angle.
"Now I can pull out the drawers of this entire tomb by myself!"
Benjamin wasn't exaggerating; things became much simpler with the help of Polaris.
After Polaris pulled out all the drawers with magnetism, Li Hua only needed to use the [Fly] card to carry Benjamin, who had returned to his original form, through the rows of tomb cabinets, and the Omnitrix would automatically record the DNA.
The whole process took no more than fifteen minutes, and would have been even faster if the Omnitrix's DNA scan seemed to only be able to complete when Benjamin was in human form.
No one knew how much memory the Omnitrix had, but after they collected the DNA from the entire tomb, it didn't pop up an "insufficient storage space" error at all.
Since there is no error, continue scanning. Azmis is watching anyway.
One of the original purposes of designing the Omnitrix was to be the "Ark of Life". If something goes wrong with the Omnitrix in a fight, Azmis could still say that he was just Benjamin Dumb, or that "the Omnitrix was not originally a weapon", after all, that is indeed the case.
But Li Hua and Benjamin are now saving endangered species. If something goes wrong with the Omnitrix in this situation, it would be a slap in Azmis's face!
After cleaning the tomb, Benjamin turned back into Polaris and used his powerful magnetic force to tear open the metal wall.
During the subsequent tomb-sweeping operation, Li Hua gradually discovered some problems.
He originally thought that Martians didn't have the custom of placing photos on tombstones (or tomb cabinets?), but as he saw more and more tombstones, Li Hua discovered that some tombstones actually had photos on them, just like some on Earth, and some also had inscriptions similar to epitaphs to commemorate the deceased.
Not all tombstones have photos, but those that do have photos are definitely of green Martians.
But the photo in the first drawer they opened just now showed that the white Martian they saw in the basement was not an isolated case. Why wasn't the photo of the white Martian placed on the tombstone?
Is it because albino Martians are relatively rare, or is there some other reason?
Or is it because Martians' colors change after death, and their families don't want to make private things like death photos public?
However, Li Hua did not dwell on this issue for too long, because there were still many tombs waiting for him and Benjamin to sweep, and they had to take turns to pay attention to whether there were any ice ghost cubs that had not kept up with the main group... With a big thing in front of them, Li Hua had no time, no mind, and no need to think about this problem.
No matter what color those Martians were when they were alive, they all looked the same after they died. Instead of wasting time trying to verify it, it would be better to just ask the Martian Manhunter, a real Martian, later.
The cemetery is divided into several floors. The central elevator and security system that had been working for centuries were completely destroyed by the electromagnetic attack of Polaris. Li Hua and Benjamin walked down the elevator shaft and visited the tombs one floor at a time.
The lower you go, the fewer tombs there are, and the surrounding decorations are more luxurious than those on the upper levels.
At the third level, the grave is no longer a suite shared with others, but can be buried in the soil.
"It seems like there's a big disparity between the rich and the poor on Martians?"
Li Hua used the [ground] card to dig out the coffins one by one. Those coffins were not made of magnetic materials, and Polaris could not control them. Li Hua had to manipulate the [ground] card and use the soil to "manually" open the coffins.
"In my opinion, there is no difference. It's just that visiting the graves is a little more troublesome."
Benjamin walked past the coffins so that the Omnitrix could record the DNA of the deceased.
"That's right."
Li Hua waved his staff, and the soil closed the coffin lid of the deceased that Benjamin had swept, and the soil sent the deceased back underground.
Whether they were kings, generals, or the richest men in the land, their first cry upon entering this world was no more melodious than that of an ordinary person, nor was their sigh before death more majestic. Even their bones after death were the same color; no one was more noble than another.
The only difference may be that somewhere in the future, someone will use a few more shovels when digging graves.
