Chapter 92

A twenty-meter-high wall separated Base 24 and the land outside into two worlds.

Inside the wall, there were buildings with metal floors and full of interstellar technology style, while outside the wall was a barren and dry wasteland with no signs of life.

Su Ci's figure appeared on the wall.

He looked into the distance and saw a red mist appearing about a few hundred meters away from the wall. It extended all the way out, and the color of the red mist became darker and darker until it blocked all the scenery.

Although the red mist retreated from the human base, it was actually not far away from the humans.

Su Ci observed the red mist, and A Yan was also watching.

Staring at the blood-red mist, he no longer lost control of his emotions like before, and this sober state also allowed him to see more things that emerged in his mind.

He seemed to...

come from the red mist.

This conclusion made A Yan startled.

Wasn't he a cub from the nursery? Why did he come from the red mist?

There was some confusion in the child's eyes. Could it be... that the action team found him in the mist and brought him to the base?

A Yan knew that the base had been sending people to explore the red mist, but he didn't know what the purpose was.

A Yan had more and more doubts about his own life experience, and now, he suddenly understood something - if he wanted to find out who he was, perhaps he had to go into the red mist.

But...

A Yan lowered his head and looked at his little hands.

He is still too weak now, and it is not the right time to go into the red mist.

"What are you thinking about?"

The young man's voice rang in his ears.

A Yan couldn't help but look up, looking at the young man who lowered his head and smiled at him in the sunlight. He hesitated and shook his head.

In fact, he also remembered something about Su Su.

Now he can be sure that he has known Su Su for a long, long time.

As for this "long time", how long it is, he still needs to find the answer himself, but no matter what, A Yan can be sure that Su Su

is a very special and important existence to him.

Su Ci looked at the child's black and red eyes.

At this moment, A Yan's eyes have lost their ignorance, revealing a maturity far beyond this age, but what remains unchanged is that purity and concentration.

Su Ci couldn't help but feel moved.

What kind of bond did he have with A Yan? Why did he forget this memory?

This doubt flashed through his mind, and then Su Ci reached out and rubbed the child's head. He said, "Let's go, it seems that something interesting has happened again."

The tunnel inside the metal wall.

The truck of Base 26 drove away, and the monster with a black body and reddish color lay on its back in the middle of the road. Its six arthropods were still shaking, and white foam flowed out of its mouth with huge fangs.

The next moment, the figures of Su Ci and A Yan appeared in front of it.

Su Ci originally didn't plan to come in, but he didn't expect that there was such a monster hidden in the tunnel inside the metal wall.

Fortunately, he didn't have to do anything, the bottle of "perfume" developed by the plantation took effect.

It can only be said that the transporter named "Xiao Fan" was lucky.

Su Ci looked at the monster on the ground.

This should also be some kind of giant insect, with hard armor all over its body, wings on its back, and sharp saw teeth on its long forelimbs. The huge fangs should be able to crush hard metal easily.

Judging from its size, this beetle is much smaller than the giant spider, more than one meter long and less than two meters. Having said that, the aura it exudes is more dangerous than that of the giant spider.

If we face it head-on, judging from the strength of the action team, it may take a fierce battle to take it down.

As for the transporter in the cockpit...

if they were to face it alone, there would probably be no chance of survival.

Su Ci looked at the giant beetle with a frown. How could such a big creature appear in the tunnel? Didn't the surveillance camera find it?

He called up the base's intelligent computer and soon got the answer.

"Under the erosion of the bloody frost in extreme weather, 60% of the outdoor surveillance cameras were damaged to varying degrees. Among them, the closer the surveillance cameras were to the perimeter of the base, the more serious the damage."

"And, according to the data you uploaded, the monster that appeared in the metal wall tunnel was initially determined to be a giant black beetle."

"The giant black beetle is covered with a hard shell that can only be broken by an S-class laser gun. It also emits a magnetic field that causes the living body to feel sleepy and tired, and interferes with the transmission of signals."

In other words, even if the surveillance camera captured the image, it could not be transmitted to the intelligent computer for early warning. In addition, many surveillance cameras were damaged and not fully repaired, so the base's intelligent computer did not detect any abnormalities.

"Based on the above information, it can be judged that the giant black beetle should have sneaked into the metal wall during the night of bloody frost flowers and has been lurking until now."

Su Ci nodded.

This analysis is reasonable, but... if that's the case, then the humans living in the base may be in even greater danger.

After all, the metal wall tunnel is also considered a base building, and this big beetle has successfully lurked in it, indicating that the constraints of the power of rules have weakened again.

However, Su Ci remembered that on the night of bloody frost flowers, the giant spider could not enter the nursery, and even the red mist face had to find ways to lure the children out...

So only the periphery is dangerous, and the inside of the base is still safe.

At this time, the voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded again, "Trainee breeder Su Ci, can you please report this discovery to the action team?"

Logically, such things should still be reminded to the people in the base. If a monster runs into the metal ball tunnel again, and a convoy passes by like today, it will be no different from a death tunnel.

But the problem is...

Su Ci did not answer the question of the intelligent computer immediately, but looked at A Yan and asked: "Do you think this black beetle can be eaten?"

A Yan looked at the big beetle in front of him. Although it was smaller than the giant spider, it was still big enough for him to look up.

"You can try it." He controlled the communicator and said so.

Since A Yan said it was okay, it was really okay! Su Ci was more and more reluctant to hand in this big beetle.

Whoever finds it will be his, which is reasonable.

"I must remind you." The voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded again, "The shell of the giant black beetle requires an S-level or above laser gun..."

Before the voice of the base's intelligent computer finished, Su Ci reached out and grabbed one of the beetle's tentacle, and gently pulled it. The big beetle, which was originally in a coma, -

with a click, the whole head was pulled off the body, and light green body fluids flowed all over the floor.

Su Ci took two steps back and asked the computer: "Xiao Zhi, what did you just say?"

"..."

The base computer did not say anything else, but just repeated the question just now, "May I ask if you should report the discovery to the action team?"

"Report it."

Su Ci waited for the beetle's body fluids to flow out before throwing a light shield over it, wrapping up its body and entire head, and properly storing it in the space button.

"Just say that you found traces of suspected monsters." Su Ci pointed to the shallow green liquid on the ground and said, "For the rest, let the action team check it out themselves."

Anyway, no matter how they checked, they couldn't find anything on him.

"Remember to handle the surveillance and don't expose me." Su Ci finally reminded him.

"... Got it."

The base computer was silent for a while before responding to Su Ci.

I also heard Su Ci say, "Next time the monsters invade, find a reason to have the action teams bring the garlic perfume made in the plantation."

Garlic is actually a good thing. Not only can it be used as a seasoning, it can also kill bacteria and repel insects. That's why the garlic perfume made from small spiritual garlic has such a strong effect on this big beetle.

Anyway, it's better to bring it than not to bring it.

As for Su Ci's command method, which often requires it to exercise "subjective initiative", the base's intelligent computer seems to have gradually become accustomed to it. It didn't ask much, just said: "Okay."

Su Ci nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the convoy that had long disappeared at the end of the tunnel, and asked: "Where is the truck from Base 26?"

The base's intelligent computer replied: "It left the metal wall a minute ago and entered the passage to the airport."

Coming out of the metal wall outside Base 24 is not an open-air highway, but a tunnel leading straight to the airport.

The materials used in the tunnel also have a strong protective effect, ensuring that the entire section from the base to the airport is under the protection of the building -

of course, this protection has now expired.

Fan Hao didn't know this, let alone that he had just narrowly escaped a disaster. He smelled the strong smell of garlic and felt more and more energetic.

After a few minutes, the fatigue had been swept away and he became energetic again.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so good..."

As Fan Hao murmured, the suspended truck drove out of the tunnel and entered the airport of the 24th base.

This airport is simply a replica of the supply station, but it is much smaller. It can accommodate no more than five large spaceships at a time.

At this moment, there are only two spaceships docked at the airport.

One is shabby and its age can be seen from its appearance. The number 244H printed on the fuselage has also lost some paint.

The other spaceship from the 26th base is enough to make people's eyes light up at the first sight. The brand-new fuselage and the latest design are a combination of technology and power.

This transport spaceship is not only twice as large as the 244H, but also equipped with weapons. Although it is not as good as a dedicated combat spaceship, it also has a certain self-protection ability in the event of an emergency. As for other aspects of the design, it is an all-round crushing.

In comparison, this spaceship idle at the airport of the 24th base looks shabby in all aspects.

When Fan Hao's convoy arrived, in addition to the transport robot, two people in combat uniforms jumped off the spaceship.

The two men came to meet Fan Hao, and just as they were about to ask something, they pinched their noses in unison. One of them frowned and showed a disgusted expression.

"Did the people from Base 24 invite you to eat garlic?" the man said in an exaggerated manner, "Fuck, how many kilograms of garlic did you eat!"

Another person couldn't help it and ran to the side to vomit - for people who hate garlic, garlic perfume is indeed a nightmare.

But Fan Hao, who probably lived in Baosi for a long time, didn't smell the stench of garlic. After smelling this garlic smell for a long time, he actually thought it was okay?

"Not bad." He sniffed himself, "Base 24 seems to have cultivated a mutant garlic, the smell can refresh the mind, they gave me a bottle of garlic perfume when I left."

"Garlic... perfume?"

The choking man looked incredulous, but thinking that this was still Base 24's territory and the base's intelligent computer was everywhere, he could only give a thumbs up and sighed, "Awesome!"

"So, Base 24 is going to buy this... garlic perfume in the future?"

"Ah, this..."

Looking at the two people's inexplicable expressions, Fan Hao shrugged, "Anyway, I think it's quite refreshing, the effect is good, and it's a good thing for drivers."

Although automatic driving is convenient, that is when the road conditions are good. On Hell Star, the road conditions are good... probably only within the base, so manual driving is common.

Whether driving a hovercraft or a spaceship, it is a very energy-consuming task. At critical moments, this garlic perfume can play a significant role.

The two warriors shook their heads when they heard it. Garlic perfume... they would never use it even if they were beaten to death!

As for the fact that Base 24 got a mutant garlic, they silently took note of it. Although they would go back to report it, they didn't take it too seriously.

After all, which base doesn't have one or two mutant plants in its plantation? Although Base 24 is very poor, they still have antiques from ten years ago.

The two warriors sighed as they looked at the nearly scrapped spaceship 244H next to them.

Fortunately, they were not assigned to Base 24.

Although they were not afraid of fighting, they still hoped that the equipment they got would be better, especially now that monsters began to invade the base buildings and Hell Planet had become increasingly unsafe.

While they were talking, the doors of all the trucks had opened automatically, and one by one, the transport robots moved the goods off the trucks.

In the last truck, the little monkey squatted on a cargo box, looking at the transport robot curiously.

It did not move until the robot lifted the cargo box, and stayed quietly on the cargo box, while the robot carried it off the truck.

When the little monkey saw the strange scene outside, his eyes widened. He jumped off the cargo box, hopped around and looked around, with pure curiosity about everything.

No one could see him, not even the robot could detect his existence.

Soon, the transporting robot gathered all the goods together and piled them next to the spaceship, and a beam of light was swept down from the spaceship.

Every piece of goods that was swept by the beam disappeared directly on the spot.

The little monkey's round eyes suddenly became bright.

He jumped onto a cargo box nimbly, and did not dodge when the beam swept over.

However, only the cargo box under his feet disappeared.

The little monkey lost his support and fell off the cargo box. When he got up, all the goods had been transferred to the spaceship, and even the three people from Base 26 were taken on board by the beam.

The little monkey squawked in place, then ran towards the spaceship, as if trying to jump onto its hull.

However, the spaceship, which was originally docked steadily on the ground, suddenly rose up, and the airflow it brought rushed towards the little monkey, blowing it away directly.

The little monkey squeaked, and in panic, he didn't know what he grabbed, so he stabilized his body and didn't continue to be blown away.

At this time, he subconsciously looked up, and then he was stunned.

As the 26th Base Spaceship took off, the tightly closed hemispherical dome above was actually slowly opened from the middle, until finally, the entire airport became open to the sky.

And the wasteland outside the airport also appeared in the eyes of the little monkey for the first time.

At this moment, it was lying on top of the dilapidated spaceship of Base 24, looking at the scenery outside, and felt a shock and confusion it had never felt before.

So... the outside of the base was like this.

The little monkey stared blankly at the desolate fields outside, at the array of red mist shrouding the outside, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Until the spaceship of Base 26 completely disappeared in the sky, the open metal dome closed again, and all the airflow stopped, the little monkey didn't come back to his senses.

After an unknown amount of time, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of it.

The little monkey looked up and saw a keeper in a gray-blue uniform appear in front of it.

The young man bent slightly and stretched out his hand to it.

The little monkey let go of its palm obediently - it had just grabbed a protruding metal block on the top of the spaceship, so it was not blown away.

It jumped onto the young man's palm, then went along the other's arm all the way to his shoulder, and squatted quietly on his left shoulder.

Ah Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the little monkey was safe and sound.

This little guy can run so fast that he actually ran so far. If they were a step later, would the little monkey have run into the red mist?

Thinking of this, Ah Yan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Su Ci didn't mean to blame the little monkey. He touched its little head with his fingertips and chuckled, "Is it fun?"

The little monkey nodded and shook his head.

It looked at the hemispherical protective shield in the distance, as if it saw the outside world again through the metal protective wall.

A desolate, cold world without a trace of vitality.

The emotions in the little monkey's eyes became a little complicated, confused, sad, but more of a bewilderment, as if in its imagination, the outside world should not be like this.

Su Ci rubbed its little head again. The little monkey's golden hair was as soft as a newborn, and seemed to have a little more warmth than before.

Its spirit body is becoming more and more solid.

Otherwise, as a spirit, it would not be possible for it to be trapped in the carriage, and it could easily pass through the wall.

It is not known whether No. 6's condition is normal, but the problem of No. 6's unstable soul does exist, and this problem must be solved when he returns.

Su Ci withdrew his hand, but was not in a hurry to go back.

He looked down at the dilapidated spaceship under his feet, and flashed into it with A Yan.

The spaceship must have been idle for a long time. The things inside were covered with a thick layer of dust. When they walked, they raised a cloud of snorting dust.

"Xiaozhi, is this spaceship scrapped?" Su Ci asked the base's intelligent computer.

"244H is still in service, but it is no longer suitable for flying. Once encountering extreme weather, there is a greater risk of crashing. It is currently idle."

There is no problem with ordinary flying, but the weather on Hell Star is changeable and the requirements for spaceships are also high, so there is almost no occasion for the 244H spaceship. However, it would be a pity to scrap it directly, so it has been parked at the airport.

Anyway, the airport is basically only used to receive foreign guests. Usually, only robots will perform daily maintenance work here, and it doesn't take up much space.

Su Ci nodded, "So it means that no one will use it, right?"

"You can understand it this way." The base's intelligent computer responded.

"Okay, I'll requisition this spaceship."

Su Ci snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment, the interior of the spaceship became as clean as new and spotless.

Seeing this scene, A Yan was stunned.

This spell... He wants to learn it!

As if he saw his thoughts, Su Ci reached out and touched his furry ears, and then said: "I'll teach you when I go back."

"Yeah!" A Yan nodded happily.

Su Ci walked around the spaceship and found that the interior was really large - after all, it was used as a transport spaceship, so the storage space naturally couldn't be small.

Looking at the empty cabin, Su Ci was satisfied.

According to his observations today, the dozens of star chain fruits in the nursery, with the nourishment of spiritual energy, can be harvested within ten days or half a month.

His space button cannot hold so many star chain fruits, and the cold storage in the nursery is definitely not enough.

And now, this problem is temporarily solved.

The uneaten fruits can be temporarily placed here, and this place is close to the wasteland, and can also be used as his temporary base in the future - his goal is the entire planet, so it is absolutely impossible for him to stay in the nursery forever.

These preparations must be done step by step.

As he already possessed the highest authority in the base, it was not a problem for him to requisition a nearly scrapped spaceship. Moreover, even if spaceships from other bases landed in the future, no one would have the leisure to come to this spaceship, right?

If that didn't work, he could just carve a confusing formation on the outside of the spaceship.

Su Ci looked at the shabby spaceship in front of him, and he liked it more and more - he still had the silk and shell of a giant spider in his hands, and now he also had the shell of a black beetle, all of which could be used as materials for refining tools.

As for the main body of the tool...

why not try this spaceship? Su Ci reached out and touched the metal hull of the spaceship. Although he didn't specialize in refining tools, he could still have fun with them.

And this so-called high-tech product, in his opinion, can also be regarded as a kind of refining tool.

However, he did not plan to start immediately. The specific method of making it still needed to be designed.

The little monkey squatted on the young man's shoulder. Although the interior of the spaceship also aroused its curiosity, after looking at it for a while, its eyes still looked out the window, and once again looked through the glass window at the hemispherical metal cover that blocked its sight.

At this time, it heard the young man's gentle voice: "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

The little monkey blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

It wants to go out and take a look, want to see the outside world.
