365: Biological Disaster
Li Xuan's sudden gaffe and ghost screaming are not for nothing, let alone Li Xuan, even if Zhongsun Yuan has a good ability to restrain himself, he also has some urge to scold his mother at this time. They came here with all the hard work, but they didn't expect to fall into the net!
"Yuan Yuan ......" After a while, Li Xuan's slightly fluctuating voice came into his ears, and he listened carefully and even trembled with fear, he said, "We...... This time it's real...... It's a catastrophe, right? Why do military ships come out with such a?"
Li Xuan's fingers slammed into what almost filled the entire ordnance warehouse, and there was a deep fear in his eyes.
In comparison, Zhong Sunyuan's attitude was much more relaxed...... Of course, this is relative. If he could, Zhong Sun Yuan also wanted to lose his temper and vent the pressure accumulated in his heart. But she knew that if she didn't even have a foundation, Li Xuan's performance would only collapse even more. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go, don't alarm this big guy......"
Obviously, the first-aid ship was well placed in the ordnance warehouse, but the two of them had no way to get closer, not because they didn't want to, but because once the two of them got close, they would directly equate themselves with giving up their lives! The entire ordnance warehouse was filled with countless thick brown tentacles.
From their point of view, the tentacles were extremely thick, and the smallest was two meters in diameter, like countless poisonous snakes wrapped around the ambulance ship. The original brand new ship was worn and damaged, and its skin looked like it had been corroded by something.
After the behemoth squirmed slightly, a viscous brown liquid slowly dripped down, and when it touched the ground, a slight white smoke came out. The smell of rancid acid fills the air all the time. Without looking closely, Zhong Sun Yuan also knew that those liquids were extremely corrosive.
Eyes shifted, the tentacles were twisting and intertwining, listening intently, and a faint viscous sound could be heard in the air. The antennae looked like flesh, and the surface was smooth and covered with countless pores, and the liquid was secreted from one tiny pore after another.
The small first-aid ship looked like a bird in front of this behemoth, let alone her and Li Xuan. The thing seemed to be asleep, and when the two opened the door to the warehouse, there was no movement. Zhongsun Yuan held his breath. Give Li Xuan a hint.
Li Xuan comprehended. Immediately ask the virtual intelligent girl to close the open warehouse door again, and at the same time, a cold sweat broke down her back.
He felt that he and Zhong Sun Yuan were so lucky that they could be on the same ship with this kind of guy and be safe for so long. If it is replaced by another case. It is estimated that the soul has long been out of the world...... Take a look at the direction you have taken along the way. It was a mess. Looking at the door in front of him, which represents vitality, his heart is even more desperate.
Dead horizontally and vertically, he would rather be blown to pieces by those explosives. I don't want to become a delicacy in the mouth of this behemoth......
Hearing Li Xuan's request, the virtual intelligent girl naturally would not refuse, and while giving the order to close the warehouse door, she asked with a little curiosity, "Didn't we come here so hard to rescue the ship? Although that thing is a little damaged, it can still be used...... How did you...... Suddenly changed your mind? Because of that big guy?"
The girl's ignorance made Li Xuan cry and laugh, but he also managed to divert his attention and make him not as broken as before.
"You don't understand...... This thing is a killer...... The cosmic creature killer can be called a catastrophic existence......" Li Xuan explained with a wry smile, "This universe is very large, and there are many kinds of creatures...... So many that you don't even know what creatures are......"
No one knows where the end of the universe is or what it looks like, just as no one can tell how many creatures there are in the vast universe.
There is coexistence and hostility between living things, and each living thing has a unique living environment and means of livelihood.
For example, human beings need air, the living environment has relatively strict restrictions, and human activities also need to rely on energy, which can be used from a variety of sources, such as food and simple nutritional products...... And this thing in front of you is a living thing.
However, this creature is different from humans and most intelligent creatures, it has no intelligence, and only has the instinct to devour and survive. It also lives in a special environment, only in a vacuum...... To put it in simpler terms, this is one of the microbes in space.
However, once this creature encounters an aerobic environment, it undergoes strange changes, and the changes are also diverse. Some will parasitize within the living body and devour it from within, while others will directly mutate and become extremely large......
In either case, there is a common trait that the bloodthirsty and greedy nature within the nature is magnified.
And this destruction is endless, destroying and spreading the same kind until it can no longer survive, and then devouring each other until it is destroyed! No one could have imagined that a small creature that is invisible to the naked eye can really go berserk and even destroy an entire planet. This kind of destruction is irreversible, and the ecological destruction is completely complete.
At the beginning of the Age of Interstellar Navigation, the connections between planets became frequent, and there were always things that could be accidentally bumped into each other, spreading wealth and civilization while also giving these creatures free transportation.
At that time, many people thought that the universe should have no other dangers except for the vastness, and many vacuum killing methods were not rigorous, and the possibility of omissions was very high, which also created the first interstellar biological disaster.
When scientists figured out the source of the disaster, all intelligent beings were stunned. No one would have imagined that such a small creature would have such a terrible mutation, and if it does not move, once it erupts, it will directly turn the planet of the ecological evaluation S into a death star.
The so-called Death Star is an irreplaceable planet that is not suitable for the survival of most intelligent creatures, with an extremely low ecological evaluation and a forbidden area for life! No one would have imagined that a small creature could produce a series of chain disasters.
It was also after this disaster that the originally prosperous interstellar navigation became less popular. It was not until intelligent beings found a practical means of prevention and treatment that this kind of disaster in which everyone was at risk came to an end, and it happened once in a while. It will also be disposed of quickly.
By this time, the processing systems of each ship were so perfect that it was almost impossible to hear about it.
Li Xuan and Zhong Sun Yuan would know so clearly, and they took it seriously, only because of a cosmic biology course before the end of the term. The theme of that course was the cosmic biological catastrophe, mainly about various cosmic biological disasters, and there were a large number of video recordings.
Of all the incredible biological disasters, this creature is at the top of the list. Although the whole process of the disaster is only viewed through the video perspective of the faithful recording of the disaster, the bloodshed and despair are still deeply engraved in the hearts of every student.
Seeing the real disaster creatures today, they know that there is much more to that feeling than a video can bring.
Watch the door slowly close. Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Also more uneasy. He knew that there was a terrifying creature entrenched here, and even though the warehouse door was closed, the weak door still didn't give him the slightest sense of security.
If that creature really goes berserk, the whole ship will suffer. How can a tiny door resist?
"Yuan Yuan......" Li Xuan's face was extremely pale. There was a look of decadence and darkness in his expression. "Our retreat is gone......"
The first aid ship was their only hope of getting out of the precarious ship, but now there was a fierce big guy entrenched inside, and they couldn't get close. If it alarms...... Hehe. He vaguely seemed to see death beckoning to him.
"It's not without ...... It's just up to us to choose. Zhongsun Yuan said awkwardly, his tone was so calm that Li Xuan was a little uneasy, "You asked that intelligence to tune out the route, I want to see it...... If I remember correctly, the ship must be following a fixed course, right? In other words, it will stop at the supply planet...... Li Xuan, have you ever thought about that possibility?"
Li Xuan's expression froze, his eyes were solemn, of course he knew what would happen if he did this.
It's just that...... Ships are subject to special interstellar inspections before landing, in order to prevent biological disasters...... Their ship may not be able to land smoothly, right? Maybe it will be discovered from afar and forcibly destroyed......
Zhong Sun Yuan saw through his thoughts, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Li Xuan...... Haven't you noticed...... The explosions have stopped for a long time...... I've searched the corners of the neighborhood with my senses, but there's no ammunition to be found...... In other words, this cat-and-mouse drama has come to an end. It's time for the show......"
Li Xuan was still at a loss, and Zhong Sun Yuan was not angry, and continued, "Someone is secretly controlling all this, playing with us like rats...... If you look at what we look like now, the lost dog is nothing more than that. You said that the virtual intelligence around you has the highest authority under the Heavenly Brain, but until now, she has not found that anyone is plotting against us......"
Li Xuan's face changed, and he tried to ask, "You said she...... Hurting us?"
Zhong Sun Yuan shook his head in denial and continued, "I didn't say it was her...... I mean, is it possible that there are the same bugs in the world, or that the person who is secretly playing tricks on us has the same authority as the person next to you......"
The girl said that she was the only virtual intelligence, and this was only what she thought, who knows if there will be a second exception?
If the guess is true, many things can be explained. Obviously, there was such a dangerous creature in the warehouse, but the girl didn't notice it, and Zhong Sun Yuan's divine sense couldn't find it. Who could believe that there was such a dangerous thing behind the gate unless they saw it with their own eyes?
Of course, these were just her guesses. Zhong Sun Yuan's mind is full of mud now, and the physical fatigue and mental fatigue are all rushing towards her, and it is not bad to be able to carry it casually until now, "As for what the truth is, I don't know." ”
Regardless of whether Zhong Sun Yuan guessed the facts or not, at least she thought about it carefully, and Li Xuan was completely confused.
It all happened so quickly that it didn't give him time to accept it.
"If the other party has the same authority, they can still hide my divine sense...... It may not be impossible to hide the eyes of the waterway inspection system...... "Once the concealment is over, this dangerous ship will be able to land on the supply planet without any problems. (To be continued......)

I'm going to cheat the corpse, and I'm going to cushion it.
