220. The Depleted Planet
South Galaxy.
Arctic Star Field.
This is somewhere where the South Galaxy, the North Milky Way, meets.
Now there's a dead air everywhere here.
Originally, many living planets have become death stars, and life is extinct, and the death stars are flying sand and rocks, and there is no breath of life, and the environment is extremely harsh.
It's a starry sky of despair.
A spaceship shuttled through this star field, and Labis, who was riding on the spaceship, looked out through the window, just in time to see the Death Star, frowning, thinking about various possibilities.
Moments later, Rapeth's spaceship landed on the mission coordinate planet.
He put the ship away and looked around suspiciously.
It is also a ruined planet, full of ruins and broken walls, tall buildings that have risen one after another exude the smell of death, trees are withered, the ground is dry and cracked, and the smell of eerie is spreading.
However, it's not all dead.
Because at this time, Lapis was being pointed at gunpoint.
A machine gun poked out from a nearby building, its muzzle dark, aimed at Rapes, and countless infrared rays fell on him.
"Bastard, you'd better stay out of the way or we'll beat you into a hornet's nest." On the tall building, someone issued a warning, apparently hostile to the sudden appearance of Lapis, but did not shoot directly.
Seeing that the other party did not shoot directly, but only issued a warning, Lapis retained his good impression and did not riot and kill.
"Wait, I don't mean it badly." Rapis raised his hands to his head and said, sensing the breath of the other party with his breath, the other party, nine times out of ten, is the native of this planet.
After perceiving, the result was that there were 10 people on the other side, and each of them was a scumbag, but the weapons in their hands didn't seem to be ordinary guns, and they were very powerful.
"No malice? Aren't you in the same league as those people? Where are you from? The person on the other side asked loudly.
Those people?
Who are those people?
Listening to the tone of this man's voice, when he mentioned those people, his mouth was full of hatred, and it was obvious that he was extremely hateful, with irresolvable hatred.
After some thought, Labis said, "I don't know who those you are talking about, and I can help you if you need them." ”
Since the game system gave him the coordinates of this planet to locate the task, it is not without reason, the task must be completed on this planet, and the root of the planet's withering is here, then, contacting the natives of this planet and understanding some of the situation will not do any harm to the progress of his mission.
"Captain, his costume is indeed different from that gang, it shouldn't be a group." One of the team members whispered.
The captain he called was a tall middle-aged man with a Chinese face, a stubble face, lilac skin, and eyes like falcons, and he was frowning at this time, and his face was tired.
His name is Douglas, and he is the captain of the 10-man squad, the last line of defense on the planet, and arguably the last struggle.
In addition to them, there are more than 100 ordinary humans hiding in a secret warehouse not far away, and these are the last survivors on this planet.
The burden on his shoulders was very heavy, and the pressure was enormous, and Douglas was tense all the time, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.
He frowned and said: "It's better to be cautious, we are the last hope of mankind, we are dead, what about the more than 100 people behind us?" ”
"What the captain said is, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Hearing Doug Liss say this, the other 9 team members nodded in unison.
In fact, it has only happened for a few days before and after the disaster, but human beings are already on the verge of extinction, which is terrible, and this is undoubtedly the most terrifying disaster.
One of the team members held a telescope, observed Lapis from a distance, and said: "This man has a different skin color than us, he is not of our own kind, even if he is not in the same group as those people, we cannot take him in, and now we are very difficult, we can no longer contain a spaceman of unknown origin, this is an unpredictable risk factor for us." ”
"Hmm." Douglas, as the captain, nodded.
There was silence.
Although the voice of their conversation was small, Rapis had already spread the water element, and their conversation Lapis was word-for-word, and he could hear it clearly.
Preliminary judgment is that this planet has been invaded by foreign forces, and the other party has some kind of magical means, which has depleted the energy of this planet within a few days, and it has become the current miserable situation.
Looking at Lapis who was still standing in place, Douglas pulled his throat and raised his voice and shouted: "Since you are not in the same group as those people, then you should leave this place of right and wrong quickly, and we will not embarrass you." ”
"Don't you really need help? I can help you. Lapis continued, trying to move the person on the other side.
The 10-man squad on the opposite side fell silent.
Don't they need help?
No, they need it very much, they need it very much, but they don't dare to bet.
This is a very difficult choice.
For now, the slightest uneasiness could be the last straw that overwhelms them.
Behind them, there are more than 100 ordinary humans who need their protection, and they are the last hope of this planet.
"I ......"
After a moment of silence, an argument began to erupt among the team.
Some of them were in favor of keeping Rabis, while others refused, feeling that it was not a wise move.
"Captain, we need help right now."
"We need help, but what if he's not a good guy? Aren't we going to lure the wolf into the house? I don't think it's reliable. ”
"I have a different opinion, it's only been 3 days since the disaster, it's only been 3 days, but you see, our planet is almost finished, why not gamble? How long can we hold on? A day? Or two days? If you continue to hold on like this, it is only a matter of time before you perish, so why make up for it? ”
"I agree." Someone identified with him.
"If he's just an ordinary person, then we're taking in one more person, but what if he's a strong man? Then our strength can be increased, and there will be a glimmer of hope, and I agree with the gamble. ”
"I'm against it, it's a day to live, it's not worth ...... such a gamble"
……
After the argument, Douglas finally took the idea and decided to keep Rapes.
Lapis's body flashed, and an instantaneous movement appeared beside them, this strange ability made the 10-person team furious, and raised the gun and aimed it at Lapis, his eyes were full of fear.
"Put the gun down, I don't like it when someone points a gun at me." Rapis looked at them and said lightly.
"Put down the gun."
Douglas gave the order, and the other nine people removed their guns in a panic.
Lapis is not stupid, he can see that Douglas is the leader of these people, so he looked at Douglas and said: "I don't know what Your Excellency is called, if you can, tell me the cause and effect of the matter, maybe I can help some, by the way, you can call me No. 17." ”
Number 17? What a strange name.
Douglas muttered in his heart and said, "Hello, my name is Douglas, and I am the captain of this 10-person team. ”
After a pause, he continued: "When it comes to the cause of the incident, it starts from three days ago. Three days ago, the heavens and the earth shook, and the earth in the Western Hemisphere suddenly cracked an unfathomable Grand Canyon, after which, a strange plant suddenly grew out of the Grand Canyon, and in just one day, this plant covered half of the planet, and the humans, animals, and plants near the plant died one after another, and the water source was absorbed by this plant, and the surrounding area became a desert. ”
"The next day, a mysterious team began to appear in the Eastern Hemisphere, they began to hunt and kill humans, and the creatures in their place were extinct, and we guess that this team was born from that demon tree, and they wanted to kill all of us, and wanted to turn this planet into a paradise for devils."
"Today is the third day, and so far, we have just over a hundred left."
The last sentence, Douglas almost gritted his teeth.
Demon Tree?
Rabith frowned, thinking of a possibility.
Douglas's description clearly means that the spiritual tree was planted on this planet.
But how it is, he has to go to the Western Hemisphere to check it out in person.
This kind of tree, in fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is a demon tree, it is indeed too terrifying for ordinary people.
This time.
There was a "sting" sound.
In the distance, a fire rose into the sky, and some dry trees were set on fire, and thick smoke billowed out, and the firelight soon stained the sky red.
The air warmed up in a short period of time.
