Chapter 242: Harvest, God-killing
Traveling with aliens?
Once this strange idea comes into my mind, it is hard to get rid of it.
Chang Rufeng patted his head and tried his best to suppress the thought.
In front, the little robot was getting closer and closer, and the mechanical structure of its body could be seen clearly.
It does not use humanoid feet for movement, but two triangular tracks with a square middle part. On its rusty orange-yellow metal body, there are two large eyes like telescopes.
If you ignore the left arm that has been transformed into a psychic weapon, it actually looks quite cute.
"Captain, have you contacted the Star Rescue Team?" This Hal cannot be contacted with the Hal in the Oasis Camp. They are separate, so he is not clear about the current situation.
"No."
"The weapon you used seems to be made by the Hastings family. It seems that your status on this planet is not low."
Hal noticed the skeleton sword in Su Xia's hand and made an accurate judgment.
Su Xia asked, "Why do you want to kill this man?"
"He discovered the location of the spaceship and tried to force his way in several times," Hal replied. "After his attempts failed, he turned and left. I speculated that he might tell the others about the location of the spaceship, or bring more powerful tools to break in the door... According to the First Protocol, I must protect the safety of the crew, so I had to kill him."
"Well, you did a good job."
I don’t know whether this guy who was shot in the head on the ground is lucky or unlucky.
It is impossible for an ordinary person to have contact with alien civilization in his lifetime, but not only did he have contact, he also died at the hands of an alien civilization.
It seems that without identity recognition, anyone could be killed by the spacecraft's counterattack force.
So how did Wang Teng do it?
Perhaps the wreckage he discovered no longer had the power to fight back.
"How many of these psychic concussion bullets do you have left?" Su Xia asked Hal.
"Not many, only nine boxes left." Hal replied, "The bullets and the psychic weapon I modified were all found in the damage control bay... Logically, this kind of weapon should not be placed in the damage control bay. Later, I retrieved the surveillance data and found that it was a crew member's personal cargo. Perhaps they were planning to trade with the natives of a certain planet."
"Take us to see it."
"Captain, can you trust these two?"
"You can trust them." Su Xia nodded. "They are my friends. They know the situation in this area."
"Okay, please follow me..."
The little HAL robot led the way in front, moving at a moderate speed, and its rusty tracks moved through the jungle as smoothly as flat ground.
Although Su Xia's communication with him was brief, it had already left a lot of doubts in the minds of the other two.
Sun Lang was fine, after all, he had already learned about the alien spacecraft from Su Xia, but he still wanted to know what terms such as "Hastings Family" and "Psychic Shock Bullet" meant.
Chang Rufeng was completely confused.
He was still struggling with the question of whether Su Xia was an alien spy.
"Hal, I'm looking for a team of about a hundred people." On the way to the wreckage, Su Xia continued to ask, "Based on the marks they left, they may have passed through this area. Have you seen them?"
"Yes, a very fast group of people."
Hal's answer brought a new turn to the rescue incident.
He waved his small mechanical hand and said, "Just last night at 9:46, a group of people wearing simple exoskeleton armor passed by. More than a dozen of them were in a coma and did not look well. I think it was because they inhaled too much poison gas. There were also two people wrapped in bandages..."
According to Hal's description, the Dragon City team was busy on their way and did not search the area carefully.
If they could stop and look carefully, they might be able to find the wreckage of the spacecraft here.
"It is speculated that they wanted to get out of this jungle as quickly as possible, but they were going in the wrong direction and were going deeper and deeper."
"When they passed by, I detected a strong psychic fluctuation. The old man leading the team should be a level 5 psychic creature. In fact, he has a better chance of escaping alone by abandoning the team. Many people in his team are too weak and are pure burdens..."
The old man that Hal mentioned was probably the old dean that Zhang Fang mentioned.
A level five creature really shouldn't be trapped here.
Su Xia looked around and asked, "Hal, are these the plants you have planted over the years?"
"Yes, I had to do this for the safety of the surviving crew members."
“No wonder there are so many.”
"Not only this me, but also another wrecked me in this forest is doing the same. Together we control thousands of repair robots, and have been sowing seeds in the jungle over the years."
Hal narrated slowly, explaining the origin of the murderous forest and mentioning another piece of debris.
The spacecraft exploded and disintegrated in the air, and two large pieces of wreckage fell in this area.
One of the pieces of debris is here, and the other piece is still deep in the forest, which is the prize cabin marked at the location of Su Xia’s mission.
Both pieces of wreckage contain dormant surviving crew members.
To protect them, HAL, the intelligent system in the wreckage, takes action.
At the time the two wrecks had no connection, and the two HALs were unaware of each other's existence, but simply took the same action.
They all connected to the spacecraft's repair system, controlled a large number of repair robots in the damage control cabin, and manipulated these small robots to take out all the plant seeds from the cultivation cabin, and then left the spacecraft to sow them.
A few days later, the two robots controlled by Hal suddenly discovered each other.
They exchanged data, learned about each other's situations, and began to divide the work and cooperate, each sowing half of the area. After more than 20 years of hard work, the alien plants gradually took on their current size.
"I see."
Su Xia thought of Hal in the Oasis Camp.
If there were repair robots in the wreckage of the spacecraft, it is estimated that Hal would do the same thing and turn the area of the Oasis camp into a horrible man-eating forest.
Fortunately, the wreckage was mostly living quarters.
"The other piece of wreckage, is it far from here?"
"It's not far, Captain. At your speed, if you continue in this direction, you will arrive tomorrow night."
Hal answered as he walked, leading the three to a swampy area.
This area is very dark, the water is turbid, and ripples appear from time to time, as if some horrible creature is swimming underwater. There are a large number of trees that appear to be dead in the swamp.
Sun Lang narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the dim swamp. Thinking of the crack in the oasis camp that Su Xia mentioned, he asked, "Alien robot, is the entrance to the spacecraft underground?"
"No, native, the ship entrance is next to you."
"ha?"
Sun Lang raised his eyebrows. There were only a few large trees with countless vines hanging on them beside him.
He had heard from Su Xia before that this kind of vine had a poisonous surface and was very sticky, making it difficult to wash off once it got on him.
If you don't look carefully, these vines are completely different from other vines.
Next, without any movement from Hal, the gray-black dry vines slowly spread to the left and right, like a door curtain, revealing several large trees inside.
In the center of the area surrounded by several large trees and covered with dead leaves, a "crackling" sound was heard.
Then, a circular alloy hatch slowly opened. The dead leaves on the hatch fell down, and a dark red light was revealed from the inside, like the entrance to purgatory.
Hal said, "Not long ago, that man came to the edge of the swamp. He has a special talent and a special perception ability. He discovered the existence of the spaceship and tried to break into the door many times. There are traces of him left on the door."
Su Xia walked forward and looked carefully, and saw many tiny scratches on the outside of the cabin door.
After the man left, he covered the hatch with a pile of dead leaves, probably to prevent others from finding it.
But as soon as he walked a distance, Hal shot him in the head from the dark.
Su Xia said: "You should get rid of the body, otherwise someone will carefully explore this area after discovering the body."
"Yes, Captain, you are right."
"How many crew members are still alive here?"
"There are three more." Hal replied, "They are all engineers in the damage control cabin of the spacecraft. If you want, you can wake them up now."
"Forget it, let them fall asleep first and take us in to take a look."
"yes."
Hal was the first to go in. He grabbed the hatch with his metal right arm and slowly stretched his right arm, extending it section by section, into the cabin.
Su Xia stood at the cabin door, took a look, and then jumped down.
Sun Lang was a little excited. After all, it was his first time to come into contact with an alien civilization. He jumped down without thinking and looked around after coming in, like a curious baby.
Afterwards, Chang Rufeng also jumped down with some caution.
After all three of them jumped down, the hatch above slowly closed, isolating the cabin from the outside world.
Chang Rufeng looked up at the closed cabin door, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he was still not reassured.
What if Su Xia is really an alien and captures the two of them for dissection?
Psychic creatures are the best experimental subjects.
"Captain, we are now in an airlock." Hal began to introduce, "The door you came in through was originally opened to space. This is a cabin for balancing air pressure. It is used by human crew members who need to perform space operations, but not by mechanical crew members..."
"I know, let's go inside and take a look."
"good."
Hal extended his robotic arm and manually opened the inner hatch.
After the hatch opened, a long silver-gray metal corridor appeared in front of the three people, with dark red lights on the lower sides of the corridor.
There are five or six doors on each side of the corridor, leading to other cabins with different functions, but all the doors are currently closed.
Hal drove out of the airlock, into the corridor, and opened the first hatch on the left side of the corridor.
"Captain, this is one of the ship's damage control bays. This is where I found the weapons and bullets."
Damage control compartment, as the name suggests, is for damage control and is commonly found on submarines or ships.
During World War II, Ami's pay-to-win damage control was well known, and it was possible to repair a half-destroyed aircraft carrier in three days.
Unfortunately, that is all in the past.
Nowadays, it takes four or five days to put out a fire on an Ame warship, which resulted in the "Goodman Richard" being burned into the "Goodman Richard".
However, now all the countries on the other side of the earth are in a state of disarray. The armies of many countries have been turned into waste by years of security wars. Every year, new products are produced like squeezing toothpaste. It is not just Amei's that are rotten.
Su Xia walked to the door of the damage control cabin, and all the lights in the cabin lit up, a soft white light that was not dazzling.
The walls of the cabin are still silver-gray, with a sense of indifference unique to future technology.
Inside the cabin, there are tools for repair, fire-fighting, maintenance, etc., as well as various operating manuals, which can take care of almost all the facilities and equipment on the spacecraft, such as engine power, conventional energy, circulatory system, life support equipment, etc., which look varied at a glance.
Even some parts needed to repair weapons can be found here.
But there really shouldn't be any finished weapons here.
"This is the psychic shock bullet, a bullet that combines the advantages of kinetic weapons and energy weapons. Each bullet is equivalent to a compressed psychic bomb, but the energy during the explosion is more concentrated than that of an ordinary psychic bomb and is more targeted at defensive tools..."
Hal knew what Su Xia wanted to see, and immediately came to Su Xia dragging a box of bullets.
In this damage control cabin, there are still hundreds of small robots that have not been activated yet.
They are all fixed to the surrounding walls and look almost the same as the one controlled by Hal. They all look very new, and their left arms have not been transformed into weapons.
Hal took out a gray-black sniper rifle and said, "If you are lucky, you can kill ordinary psychic creatures with one shot, such as the two behind you, Captain."
"Um……"
Su Xia picked up the sniper rifle. It felt very heavy in his hand, with considerable weight.
Even he felt it was heavy, and ordinary people would probably find it difficult to carry.
[Name: Guiding the Dead]
[Alias: God-killing Gun]
[Level: Level 5 Psychic Weapon]
[Description: From the starry sky, a product of Orlok Company]
[Due to the large number of similar products, the gun received a lukewarm response when it was first released. It was too heavy, inconvenient to carry, and expensive, which made it pale in comparison to similar products.]
[Later, a member of a private space exploration team used this weapon to snipe a "god" on a planet with a low-level civilization. This made the gun famous overnight by killing the god with a mortal body.]
[Note: On that low-level planet, the so-called god is actually just a fifth-level psychic creature with the psychic talent of controlling fire. It brutally enslaves the creatures of the entire planet to build a giant temple for it.]
The God-killing Gun, what a domineering name.
Just as Su Xia had guessed before, many gods in lower civilizations were actually mortals who had mastered psychic powers.
Then, the "God" in Dr. Aigar's notes may just be a creature with stronger power.
"Being able to snipe and kill level 5 creatures is not bad."
Su Xia gently stroked the sniper rifle, the gun body was delicate and cold.
Ever since the appearance of Mercer, the level 5 boss, he no longer dared to hang around in Coral City. The appearance of this gun allowed his strength to rise to a new level.
Next, when we go to Dragon City, we will also have to face level 5 creatures.
The lack of his own strength has always constrained Su Xia's actions.
If he is strong enough and has a powerful army, then he can go anywhere on this planet and do whatever he wants.
Behind Su Xia, Chang Rufeng became a little confused again after hearing Hal's detailed introduction.
He asked tentatively: "Commander, you...you became the captain of this spaceship by chance?"
"Yes, how else can I become one?" Su Xia smiled and turned to look at Chang Rufeng, " I can't be an alien, right?"
"this……"
Chang Rufeng's tone paused.
Su Xia saw what this guy was thinking at a glance and explained with a smile.
"Aliens have the ability to travel between stars. If they really want to conquer this planet, there's no need to send in undercover agents."
