Chapter 12: The Mirror Ball
"So, let's start today's meeting, and the plan for this return has just been sent to you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, by the way, newcomers, you can see the contents of the plan by ordering 'accept the file and open it' directly in your head, and feel free to ask if you don't understand anything. ”
Although I didn't really like being called a newcomer, I still played the role of a newcomer and nodded to the other end 28 seemingly seriously.
"The coordinates and maps we returned this time are as shown in the document, this area is an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, the island area is not large, and you can circle the island on foot for two hours, so the scope of this activity is the entire island, and the mission time is 4 hours." Duan 28 turned his gaze to me, "There is no need to be too stressful for new team members, the risk index of this task is level 3. ”
"What is the highest level of the risk index?"
"The risk index is a common way to assess the danger of a mission within our squad, rated on a scale of 0-10, 0-2 is near no risk, 3-5 is low risk, 6-7 is unknown risk, 8-9 is a dangerous area, and 10 is a forbidden area. For security reasons, most of the missions have a risk rating of less than 5. ”
"For the time being, there are only traces of the life of the 'Scorns' and 'Yuanlei' on this island, and there are no detection reports of other alien creatures." Fa 01 added, "The size of the Circle Star Man is very large, and it looks at humans like humans look at ants, so as long as you don't get bumped into and stepped on by them." They are a human-dependent type of species, and at first they are often attacked as resurrected humans, but with our equipment and strength, they are not a threat. Oh, and if you're equipped, we'll introduce you directly to the real thing when we get to Earth. The ecology, habits, and appearance of both organisms can be referred to in the relevant documents. ”
When I opened the folder, the first thing that popped up was the three views of the "round barricade", it looked gray-faced, hemispherical in shape, and the surface texture was pitted like a shell, if it weren't for the information prompt next to it, I might think it was a piece of dusty and moldy chocolate.
[Yuanlei, one of the common creatures in the "alien species", belongs to the planet Alpha, with a medium level of intelligence, and does not have the ability to independently develop interstellar travel, but has strong reproductive ability and strong survivability, and is a polarophilic creature that can inhabit as usual in extreme climatic conditions.
Danger level: Level 4.
The Poma Star Handbook records that the Circle is a creature with a medium impulse to attack, but because humans are too small in front of it, it will not and will not consciously attack humans, so be careful not to be stepped on or squeezed by the Circle Barrier.

I closed this window and opened another.
The moment I saw the second bio picture, I felt the organs in my stomach twist together.
Simple words such as "disgusting" and "terrifying" are not enough to describe the feeling of this "thing". The source of this violent discomfort may be due to the fact that it looks like a mutated person.
Unlike the round barricade, which is stable in shape and looks similar from any angle, each angle of the Scorn is different, because its head is the result of more than a dozen human faces squeezed together, so that at least three faces can be seen from each angle, whether it is the position of the top of the head, the position of the chin, and even the position of the neck, all of which are human faces twisted by pain. Naturally, there are no hair, ears and the like, but the number of eyes, nose, and mouth is so large that it makes people sick to their stomachs. The creature has limbs of its own, and its torso is similar to that of a normal human, except that the palms and soles of the human body are covered with tiny tentacles.
I really didn't want to "enjoy" this image any longer, so I just closed the entire folder.
"You're a little ugly, are you okay?" Cloud 09 first spotted my anomaly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
"See a picture of the scorner?" Ning 08 looked back at me with a smile, as if he knew everything, I wanted to refute, but I couldn't stop the empty expression on my face.
"You'll get used to it if you see it too much," Yun 09 said, "I was also taken aback when I first saw it, but there are still a lot of strange things on the earth, and you will get used to it soon." ”
I could tell she was trying to comfort me, but there was nothing in her words that would make me feel gratified.
"It's okay, there's an adaptation process to everything, take your time," Duan 28 smiled at me encouragingly, "But about the biology archive, it's best to take a closer look at the introduction part, it's a first-hand account of our access to extraterrestrial creatures, and it's also a very helpful one, and of course you can read the detailed part if you want to know about it." ”
I nodded to him sincerely, but I wasn't ready to open the folder again.
"Okay, next, about the personnel allocation and the coordinates of the landing, the documents transmitted to everyone are indicated, just check the attached documents. The overall purpose of the mission was to detect whether there were any active terrestrial creatures or new extraterrestrial creatures on the island, and if possible, it would be nice to find an opportunity to find out how these extraterrestrial creatures arrived on the island. Since this is a regular mission, 4 hours should be a lot of time. By the way, by the way, the underwater situation of the sea near the island is unknown, so everyone should try not to approach it. ”
"That's pretty much what today's meeting is about, and here's the Q&A session." Fa 01 continued, "This is the end of the meeting if there are no questions. Fa 01 glanced at me, as if waiting for me to raise his hand.
Normally, I wouldn't buy it, but everything in this place is out of my control, and I can feel that deliberately pretending to be cool doesn't mean much to me.
"I got a manual about your team, which seems to recommend trying not to clash with aliens on Earth?"
"Yes, our mission is primarily to investigate, not to fight. Of course, if you want to fight, I won't object to it, but it doesn't make much sense to do so at the moment. First, there is a steady stream of alien creatures on the earth, and it is impossible to kill them all, and blindly fighting is a palliative rather than a cure. The second is that some alien creatures will continue to split into new creatures after they are destroyed, so fighting is not necessarily a good thing. In general, we generally only enter the battle on the premise that it will affect the progress of the investigation, in other words, there is no threshold and requirement for the participants to participate in the ordinary inspection, the form of the inspection is closer to the expedition, and the safety factor is relatively high. ”
“…… I understand. ”
"Any other questions? Just bring it up. ”
I wanted to continue to ask about equipment and safety, but I was too embarrassed to say it.
"No ...... for the time being"
"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it for a while, you can still ask us at any time if you want to know anything later, everyone here is very enthusiastic." Duan 28 showed a hearty, hero-like smile.
"So let's start to plan the time for this inspection activity, when do you think it's more appropriate to 'go down'?" Fa 01 looked around.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today." Tin 16 raised his hand eagerly. However, in the face of the explosive proposal of Tin 16, everyone present actually nodded, it was really a group of crazy guys.
"So, Aya-17, do you agree? Since this is your first time on the inspection, you can just follow the members for the internship and don't need to complete any tasks. ”
It's so sudden.
Of course I thought so in my heart, but of course I couldn't say it on my lips.
"Oh, good." My tone was calm.
"Actually, as long as you actually participate once, you will be able to understand the Guicha, and I am inclined to strike while the iron is hot today." KC66 walked over and patted me on the shoulder.
"Well, I think so, too, and it looks interesting."
I promised against my will, praying that the result of my death would not be to suffer a living sin, but looking at the content of their introduction, I don't need to do anything, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Well, let's go to the sleeping pod now."
"Sleep pod?"
This time, no one answered my question, because everyone was gone, and Ning 08 was the only one left.
"They all 'jumped'? Just follow me. She beckoned to me.
"So what exactly is that 'jump'?"
"Some people call it 'jump point', some people call it 'jump', it's actually similar to the game 'quickly return to a place you've been before'. Since you haven't been to the sleep pod, I'll have to take you with me once. Now let's go to the transit station first. ”
"Transit station?"
"Yes, a place that connects you to the real alien world."
