It was Xavier who directly severed Hal's arm.
Faced with Hal's attempt to resist Lin Xi, the previously docile and adorable King Insect instantly revealed its exceptionally tyrannical nature.
Hal's electronic eye quickly scanned Xavier like this.
In a daze, its memory bank once again encountered an retrieval error, and some familiar images slowly appeared in its mind.
That was another young, ugly insect.
Scripps stood behind the isolation window with it, staring intently at the incredibly ferocious monster.
The insect was screaming in agony because of the scientists' experiment.
"Actually... if it weren't for the accident, that bug would probably be my soulmate."
Scripps spoke to Hal with remarkable composure.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the Queen Insect, even though he had already begun his alien transformation.
No one could detect the slight change in Scripps' tone except Hal.
Yes, Hal knows.
In that instant, Scripps was indeed concerned about the Queen Insect.
They were such lowly and terrifying creatures...
How hateful...
"I……"
"I think……"
Despite having already lost an arm, Hal's struggles suddenly became even more intense.
Ignoring Xavier's initial threat, Arthur and Noah began to stir. They could easily tear Hal's remaining body to shreds.
But just before they were about to do so, Lin Xi let out a soft sigh.
That was Lin Xi's attempt to stop them.
The aliens stopped immediately.
May God bless you.
Lin Xi glanced at Hal, who was struggling frantically, and said softly.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he pressed an inconspicuous button on the miniature holographic projector.
Who would have thought that this miniature holographic projector could also be the remote control for a remote-controlled bomb?
Lin Xi found it difficult to fathom what the researchers who created this little thing in the quarantine zone were thinking at the time.
But so what...
The moment Lin Xi saw this thing, she understood exactly how to use it.
He placed the remote-controlled bomb directly on the core processor.
Once detonated, Hal will physically disappear from this world.
This also means that the Providence will be completely out of control.
The ship of human miracles that brought an era to an end... just like that, it became a huge, incredibly complex, incredibly vast, and incredibly silent mass of scrap metal.
Compared to the consequences of the bomb, the explosion was very small, so small that Lin Xi, who was in the central control room, could hardly detect the slight vibration caused by the explosion.
But Hal knew.
“Sk…”
It emitted a distorted electronic sound, and for a moment, the sound resembled someone wailing.
Then its cries grew longer and more mechanical, until finally, the wailing turned into eternal silence.
"Bang--"
The lifelike human body fell heavily to the ground and remained motionless.
Utter darkness descended instantly, and the entire spaceship became utterly silent at the same time.
...
Lin Xi stood silently beside the remains of the android, remaining silent for a long time.
In just a few dozen seconds, Lin Xi could feel the temperature inside the spaceship gradually rising, a sign that the energy system was about to go out of control. Without the central control system to handle it, the energy drawn into the spaceship through the polymer materials would soon cause a short circuit in the energy storage system. Then, a series of explosions would start from the inside of the spaceship, then spread to the outer shell layer by layer, and finally even destroy the rock support structure between the spaceship and the magma layer.
At that time, the spaceship, which has been adrift on planet AS192 for over 300 years, will finally come to an end.
"...If this were a movie, we should run for our lives right now. Oh, and there should be lava erupting behind us, accompanied by explosions and crashing collapses."
Xavier muttered softly beside Lin Xi.
It has to be said that this somewhat untimely whisper eased Lin Xi's melancholy heart a little.
"I think it will probably take some more time before it develops to that point..."
Lin Xi turned her head, smiled at Xavier, and then said.
"explode?"
Noah stared blankly at Lin Xi and Xavier. After hearing their conversation, it seemed particularly bewildered and could only dryly repeat what Xavier had said.
"laugh--"
Arthur was also a little confused. He had never seen the movies and TV series that Xavier was so obsessed with, so he naturally didn't understand what Xavier and Lin Xi were talking about at this moment.
But that didn't stop it from letting out a cold, mocking laugh at the idiot Noah.
Just as Noah and Arthur were once again embroiled in a power struggle, faint sounds of something running and fleeing could be heard from the darkness.
The rustling sounds made Lin Xi instinctively tense up, but he quickly realized that they were some creatures that had been hiding inside the spaceship—the little things had instinctively sensed something was wrong and were fleeing.
As for those killing machines developed by humans many years ago, and those biological weapons created using alien species as genetic blueprints... anything that might pose a threat to the alien mother Lin Xi will be submerged in scorching, bright magma while in slumber.
From now on, no one will be able to threaten Lin Xi.
Nothing can harm the Mother of the Alien.
The story of the Providence is long over.
"...This movie should have ended long ago."
Lin Xi said to herself.
Then, he took a deep breath.
He turned his head and looked in a certain direction in the darkness.
There, the lifeboat that Hal had previously activated lay quietly, as always.
“I think we should find a faster way to get off the Providence, avoiding lava eruptions and explosions... It might be a bit bumpy, but at least we won't end up like those movie characters. What do you think, Xavier?”
Lin Xi grasped Xavier's hand and then asked.
The thought of missing those exciting experiences made Xavier's tentacles droop somewhat dejectedly in the darkness.
But then it nodded seriously.
"I'll listen to Lin Xi."
It said.
...
...
...
Lin Xi sat in the driver's seat of the escape boat, feeling the slight vibration of the engine.
Seconds later, the escape pod will leave the underground at an astonishing speed, leaving the Providence.
However, at that very last moment, Lin Xi felt a slight stirring in her heart.
He opened his bloodshot eyes wide and stared into the darkness outside the driver's seat window.
"...So, you really never existed, Scripps?"
Lin Xi didn't know why she asked such a strange question.
The now-dead Providence has remained silent throughout.
The escape pod then activated.
Using the internal ejection system, Lin Xi left the Providence in just over ten seconds.
So he will never know the exact moment when a series of explosions approached from afar, getting closer and closer to the central control room.
In the center of the control room, on the life support system that seemed to have been completely reduced to scrap metal, something flickered slightly.
Then a scorching, bright, and blinding explosion completely engulfed everything.
end--
In the pitch-black, boundless universe, a bright spot of light is rapidly traveling along an illegal route towards a certain location.
It was a black market private spaceship that had been clearly modified and had its serial number erased.
The direction it is heading in has been unexplored for a long time, making it appear exceptionally small and lonely.
Do you think he's still there?
Inside the spaceship, a young woman finished adjusting the course and unconsciously looked out at the dark universe. Then, she murmured a question.
Yes, he will be there.
The man walked up behind her and hugged her tightly.
Then, he looked at the screen in the woman's hand.
