Chapter 44: Heart "All the alien species looked towards one place...
The panting sound was particularly clear after the words were spoken. The whole room was silent. When the door was officially opened, someone in the crowd could not help but exclaim "Oh my God!"
"Xu An, how do you know it's Mu Yan's birthday? Is she related to the humans on the ground?" Xie Shuqin, who was sitting safely in the loading truck, still felt it was a little unreal. She was in a trance for a while before asking.
"Mu Yan's genetic profile is very simple. He grew up in the base and recently graduated and is working as an intern at the Institute of Biology." After Feng Lan turned on the automatic driving, he took another careful look at Mu Yan's profile.
Baili Yunle leaned over to Feng Lan and took a look. His eyes instantly stopped at the ring in the photo: "Her... the ring on her hand, Jie Shuqin, look at it!"
Xie Shuqin's eyes widened: "Could she be the owner of that diary?! Then the person who killed her husband with her is..."
"It's Lin Yu." Xu An continued calmly, "She's a person who has lived for a hundred years, just like Lin Yu. She's just been lurking in the base recently. The last time you went on a ground mission and the base was attacked by flying aliens, it was her who did it."
"So she's still at the base!" Baili Yunle was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down. "No wonder the commander has only sent us on frontline missions lately, while he himself has been staying at the base with the advance troops. It turns out he's been aware of this traitor for a long time."
Xu An chuckled. "She is, after all, a student of Dr. Yin. She wouldn't be able to hold the position of commander without some ability."
While the few people were still surprised, Feng Lan suddenly caught some information from their conversation.
"Killed her husband?" Feng Lan immediately zoomed in on the ring in the photo. "Xu An, look, isn't this the same wedding ring we saw on the man's hand at the holographic projection in the beauty salon last time?"
Xu An's smile froze, she collected her thoughts and moved closer.
When they, Jie Shuqin, and Baili Yunle separated that day, she remembered that among the group of bionic people who escaped from the jar, there was the man in the holographic projection. And at that time, he was still wearing a wedding ring on his hand.
"Could that person be Mr. Qi?" Xie Shuqin suddenly realized. "No wonder the diary and historical records have a source. So Mu Yan and Lin Yu teamed up to kill Mr. Qi, then customized a bionic version of him. That's why the publicly visible Mr. Qi went from a domestic violence man to a docile, love-brained man!"
"That makes sense! Because Mr. Qi is a bionic man, he already has a 50% awakening value for his superpowers, so everything fits in." Baili Yunle frowned. "But isn't this academic deception? It's causing more and more biologists to study the combination of xenogeneic and human genes..."
As they spoke, the four of them were suddenly stunned.
They clearly haven't conducted any experiments on combining alien and human genes, so why are they so sure that humans won't mutate and awaken superpowers?
unless……
"They've already begun researching the genetic combination of the two." For some reason, Xu An's heart began to pound, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his temples ached. "And at that time, it was very likely that there were no alien species yet..."
Before I had time to think about it, the car body suddenly shook violently, and somewhere in my nerves was suddenly tightened, and a scream exploded from a distance!
The powerful mental wave attack overturned the stones in front of it, and was almost stopped by a blood-red protective net at the moment it hit the loader.
The two collided, and the protective net exploded with violent, eerie waves of color. Xu An stood at the front of the vehicle, his eyes red enough to practically bleed. A blue light flickered continuously at the side of his neck, and a blood-red mist enveloped the entire team!
The mental wave attack slowly withdrew when it collided with the equally powerful protective net, and the monster's low roar was heard from the long dark passage.
"She's warning us." Xu An half-knelt on the ground, slowly removing the protective net. He covered his violently beating heart, relying only on the stinging pain between his lips to stay awake. "I'm not in the right condition now. I can only block her mental wave attack!"
Jie Shu-ah immediately followed her and released his supernatural power to weave a protective net, then ran to her side in two steps. "Are you okay?"
"She is the mother of this area. As long as she is in this place, any alien species that attacks her will be retaliated with the same force." Xu An slowly stood up with the help of Jie Shuqin's strength, his heart still beating non-stop, as if it was about to explode.
"There's a Datura plant here! It's hidden here!" Xu An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned his head and shouted, "The mother is using the Datura plant to lay eggs. Once she successfully gives birth, the latest evolved species will come out. No one can predict how strong it will be by then!"
"Mandragora plant? Is it that alien flower of survival?" Baili Yunle was shocked.
When the news first came, the entire base was in an uproar. After all, no one had expected that the alien species that could eat human brains and internal organs could actually survive on plants.
Feng Lan quickly issued an order: "Attention everyone! Put on your protective gear and activate your gravity bodies! Send out your recorded last words and destroy the Datura plant with all your might!"
There was no time for any other words. The entire team was stunned for only a second, and then a thunderous response exploded in the headsets.
"Damn it, I've been choking for a long time! Fuck her!"
The sounds of various machines starting up mixed and exploded in her ears. Xie Shuqin patted Xu An, opened her protective suit with her own hands, and then got into the gravity body.
Xu An's hand froze just as he was about to pull off the annoying protective suit. He smiled and shook his head at Jie Shuqin's back, and decided to just take the transformable mechanical weapon issued by the base.
As the mechanical door opened, the dim room was instantly illuminated by white light. Everyone looked up and realized that the industrial-type creatures were not clinging to any wall, but to the surveillance camera.
The entire ceiling is covered with surveillance cameras.
Some of the surveillance cameras, ripped open by the three aliens, seemed to be falling, creaking and shaking above their heads. However, no matter how they shook, their gazes were fixed on one place—Xu An.
To be precise, it was Xu An's wildly beating heart.
The concentration of bromine mist slowly increased, and the room was gradually shrouded in a yellow mist at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone cooperated well. Feng Lan took the lead in driving the gravity body and walking into the corridor with a mechanical cold weapon. Jie Shuqin followed closely behind. Xu An squatted on the gravity body driven by Jie Shuqin and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth on the dagger.
At the end of the team, Baili Yunle sat on another gravity body, silently loading his bow and arrows.
"Everyone, maintain a distance of at least five meters. This passage can only accommodate one gravity object at a time. If the headset flashes twice in succession, immediately activate the pulleys and retreat!"
"Xu An and Baili Yunle are on standby at all times to assist in responding to special situations."
"yes!"
As the team went deeper, the corridor became narrower and Xu An could only stand on the protruding iron plate on the back of the gravity body to avoid being hit on the head.
At the feet were white eggshells of various sizes.
These eggshells showed no signs of hatching, and after being scanned by equipment, it was discovered that there was not even a trace of life.
The eggs had long since died, and the so-called nursery area was merely a place for the dead bodies of the young.
Everyone moved forward in silence. Apart from the sound of the gravity body stepping on the ground, a slight biting sound reached their ears.
Xu An looked through the gap in the gravity body and found that at the end of the corridor, there was a skinny alien creature squatting and gnawing on the eggs in front of it.
Xu An blinked.
Some of these eggs hadn't hatched yet, but others were about to break out. The female alien that was gnawing on the skinny creature had a vacant look in her eyes, and her neck flickered weakly.
Xu An was stunned. Just as she was about to lean forward, the gravity body in front of her raised its hand and gently covered her face.
If Xie Shuqin had used her own hands at this time, she would have clearly felt a damp heat falling from her palms onto the scattered eggshells on the ground.
"Kill her." Xu An gently pushed the robotic arm away from his face. "Perhaps the AI has been controlling this door for too long, and she hasn't been able to get food. On the verge of death, her instinct for survival is driving her to eat."
Xu An took a deep breath and said, "Kill her, otherwise when she recovers, she won't forgive herself."
The difference between pure aliens and modified aliens is that the most primitive animal emotions and instincts still remain in their consciousness.
Their ability to control themselves is weaker than that of humans. Whenever they are on the verge of death, their consciousness will be scattered, and their bodies will absorb energy uncontrollably. This is the instinct of aliens, and almost no aliens have ever broken it.
Feng Lan walked over decisively and with one cut of the knife, he was completely freed.
Xie Shuqin turned on the automatic driving, jumped out of the gravity body, stood next to Xu An, and handed her a candy.
Xu An was stunned.
"Strawberry flavor." Xie Shuqin stuffed the candy into her palm. "Last time, I saw you bought strawberry flavor, so I took a few extra from the table during the game."
The sweet taste of the sugar heart filled the tip of his tongue. Xu An tilted his head back slightly, blinked a few times, and then slowly spoke: "I didn't expect to meet a pure alien species in this place. I thought Xiao An and I were the only alien species in the world."
"I didn't expect that Lin Yu would give me such a surprise."
Xu An looked at her body, his eyes flickering in a certain pattern until she completely disappeared from his sight, then he uttered a strange sentence.
Xie Shuqin peeled another candy for her: "What did you say?"
The passageway opened wide, a flash of light blinding everyone before their eyes for a few seconds. During this brief moment of blindness, Xu An repeated in human language, "Bon voyage."
The fog lifted, revealing a spacious interior. In the center of the room sat a steel cylinder, connected vertically. The surrounding walls were lined with photographs of various kinds. Upon closer inspection, they revealed they were all images of cells under a microscope.
Yin Xiangrong's voice immediately rang out from the headset connecting Feng Lan to the base: "Come closer, let me see!"
Feng Lan did as he was told immediately.
These cells are complex and varied, and each sample is different. Upon closer inspection, you will find that they are all annotated.
"These... are all from different species..." Xu An felt his heart pounding, "They are living cell images..."
