Chapter 122 Aliens
When Rong Yuan left the reference room, his eyes went dark and his legs became weak. He swayed a bit, and then he leaned against the wall and slowly sat down.
After his mind was pulled away from the long 16,000 years of history, he felt the strong dizziness and weakness brought by hunger. Looking at the time, Rong Yuan realized that he had not eaten for nearly two days and one night. He sat cross-legged by the wall, took out a bottle of water and drank most of it, then took out three or four pieces of bread and ate them in a row, and then he felt better.
The stomach filled with food was moving with difficulty, and the brain was sending out sleepy signals. There were no other creatures in Yuexin City except Rong Yuan, so there was no danger. Rong Yuan randomly picked a bench in the lounge and fell asleep peacefully.
The magnetite in the core of the moon has been emitting bright but not dazzling light. This is a real city that never sleeps. When there were still residents in this city, they did not distinguish between day and night, and they adjusted their activity time according to their own biological clocks. Therefore, there are people active in this city at any time, and it never seems lonely.
The same thing happened when Xiao Yifei broke in.
Because of the long-term internal friction of the moon people, coupled with the increasingly low birth rate, there is often no newborn for several years, so their population is getting smaller and smaller, from tens of thousands at the beginning, to thousands, and finally to hundreds. If this continues, they will automatically die out before they can figure out a way to survive on Earth.
Fortunately, at that time, because the population was sparse, everyone could enjoy very rich resources, and no longer had to worry about a sip of water or a little air. Basic life needs were met by various robots, so all their energy could be devoted to research. Each of them had been constantly learning various knowledge since birth, and joined experimental research when they were about 30 or 40 years old, and then spent their entire lives in constant experiments. There was no fun in life. Rather than being a group of humans, they were more like a group of high-IQ research machines.
When the disheveled man with bloodshot eyes rushed in with a sword, many people saw him but no one reacted. Although there were only a few hundred people, their relationships with each other were very cold. Some people could not remember all the names and appearances of everyone from birth to death. So at first, they did not realize that this was an intruder, and thought he was a clone of a colleague.
Until he started swinging his sword.
The dazzling white sword light drew a semicircle. At that moment, the sky and the earth lost their colors, leaving only the sword light that looked like a half crescent moon. The Moon Man standing in front of him didn't even have time to blink before he was cut in two by the sword! As his body slowly fell, he saw the man pounce on the others like a hungry wolf breaking into a flock of sheep.
Rong Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
In his dream, all he saw were bright white sword lights flashing before his eyes. This was the last image he saw in the data room.
After sleeping for more than ten hours, he woke up feeling completely exhausted. He found the sink in the lounge, fumbled around and turned on the faucet, and there was actually fresh water flowing out. He washed his face, and only then did he feel truly awake.
Standing on the platform and looking down at the entire underground city again, Rong Yuan felt completely different. In his eyes, the city was no longer a weird experimental field. He knew the history of every plant and tree here, the origin of every building, how beautiful and prosperous it had been, and how many desperate people had been born and buried here.
He walked down the alloy steps fixed near the magnetite, walked around the light blue crystal, and found what he was looking for.
On one side of the crystal, a long sword mark was cut diagonally, leaving a scratch about ten centimeters deep. He brushed his hand over it and closed his eyes. He seemed to still see Xiao Yifei standing a few hundred meters away and chopping off the head of the moon man in front of him with a sword. The sword light continued to move forward, leaving this mark on the magnetite.
Apart from the corpses, this is the only trace of Xiao Yifei left here.
But a few hundred years ago, that man had cut off seven or eight out of ten alloy supports in this city, destroyed countless houses, and slaughtered all the Moon people here, regardless of gender, age or young, with his sword. The Moon people did try to resist after the initial massacre, but no matter how high-tech weapons they used, they were no match for that man's broken sword.
After the massacre, Xiao Yifei broke open a capsule with trembling hands and took a woman out of it. She was a little old and looked ordinary, but the man who killed people everywhere cried like a child while holding her.
Finally, Xiao Yifei left the underground city with the woman's body in his arms, and set a fire before leaving. However, all the combat robots in the underground city were chopped down by Xiao Yifei, but the life robots were not. They quickly put out the fire, and then they kept repairing and cleaning without sleep except when they were charging. Therefore, until now, except for the magnetite, which they would not repair, all other places have been restored to their original state.
However, this city and these robots have lost their owners forever. No matter how well they are repaired, they will never return to their original state.
Rong Yuan returned to the capsule area and looked at the bodies of the moon people. He had no sympathy for these people, he just wanted to see the original man and the sword through these bodies.
Rong Yuan knew that the Xiao family ancestor from hundreds of years ago was very strong. Just based on his ability to land on the moon with his own body and survive in such an environment, Rong Yuan couldn't catch up with him now. However, with the help of a spaceship and a space suit, Rong Yuan was able to go to the moon, so he didn't have an intuitive feeling of Xiao Yifei's strength.
The man who claimed to be invincible in his notebook, but only said a few words. Rong Yuan saw more of his stupidity and his use of the Merit Book in the Merit Record Notes. Only now did he know what kind of invincibility the so-called "invincible in the world" was. No matter what kind of laser gun, rocket launcher, electromagnetic gun, high-energy particle gun, jamming bomb, etc., I can break it with one sword. How powerful is this?
Rong Yuan originally thought that no matter how powerful cold weapons were, they were not as powerful as various high-tech weapons, but everything he saw in the holographic image overturned his view.
…
The last area of the capsule zone stores several special corpses.
Rong Yuan looked up and saw that in the capsule that was five or six meters high there were several relatively intact bodies of black creatures. Although they were all dead, one could still clearly feel their horror.
These are the bodies of aliens who attacked the Earth in the past. The ancestors on the Moon did not forget to bring them with them when they fled to Earth. They have been well preserved for more than 10,000 years, and they are still lifelike today. This is the most precious experiment here, and the Moon people treat them more carefully than their own eyeballs.
This is not the "alien" that Earthlings usually understand.
In various movies and TV shows and eyewitness stories on Earth, "aliens" have always been soft, slimy, with big eyes and thin limbs, and they look very similar to humans. But these real aliens are different.
They don't have a human-like appearance, and they don't even have the iconic "alien big eyes". They have a petal-shaped mouthpart on their bald heads, and a circle of sunflower seed-like protrusions on their heads. According to the research of the moon people, these protrusions are the aliens' sensory organs, which can receive the electromagnetic waves they emit to determine the location of objects and other information - this is a creature with its own radar.
At the junction of the head and the torso, there are several long and short tentacles, and the number varies, with as few as four or five and as many as ten. At the end of the tentacles, there are several smaller claws. These are the alien's "hands", which are as soft as octopus tentacles and can be bent freely, and can also perform very delicate work. On the battlefield, there is often an alien using these tentacles to operate several weapons to attack humans.
Their bodies are cylindrical, like a large caterpillar, and look very bloated. They only have several pairs of short and flat "feet" in their lower body. However, the body of this creature is not heavy, and it can move very quickly on the bumpy road, and it has a good jumping ability. Its whole body is covered with tiny scales with a metallic luster, and the friction between the scales makes a rustling sound . These scales are smooth and hard, and ordinary bullets will slide off when they hit them, and cannot cause much damage at all.
These creatures, no matter from which angle they look, look more like disgusting bugs than advanced intelligent creatures, but they do have more advanced technology and smarter brains than humans. They built spaceships and weapons, and invaded the Earth over a distance of countless light years more than 10,000 years ago. Ten thousand years have passed, and although the invaders were defeated and fled, they were not completely wiped out. Have they been destroyed in these ten thousand years, or have they developed into a more advanced civilization? It is difficult for humans to even land on the moon now. If the other side attacks again, what can the people on Earth do to resist?
Rong Yuan thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was not a problem he was capable of worrying about right now. Moreover, 10,000 years had passed, and perhaps nothing would happen in another 10,000 years. But if he wanted to go out into the universe, sooner or later, he would encounter a creature that was even more powerful and terrifying than this. By then, would he be able to cope with it?
