Chapter 186: What Did You Pick Up?
The main point, that is, Luke is a little worried, his ship does not have any identification code, so it is equivalent to a black household, such a ship of unknown origin, if it appears within the jurisdiction, it is good not to be seized.
Maybe they will be directly attacked because of this, even those star thieves or something, there will be some identification codes on the ship, which is convenient for others to identify, and some guys are still very recognizable, even ordinary people, they will also hear of the names of these guys, and they usually walk around as long as they see them.
Luke didn't have a good idea now, their current direction should be just passing through the middle of a star field with civilization, if nothing else, the next encounter will only be more and not less.
And something other than a spaceship, ahem, no, I ran into one not long after I finished speaking.
"Admiral, what is this" Kitakami looked at this round thing curiously, this thing looked man-made at first glance, and there were some symbols and words on it that he didn't know at all. As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch this thing.
"Kitakami, be careful, don't touch these things that you picked up from the outside" Oi took Kita's hand nervously, very vigilant about this thing that had just been discovered by Xiaobei and picked up by Minato.
"It's an escape pod, can't you see it, don't you all have this thing on your ship" Luke said a little speechlessly, although the ship girls don't need the escape pod at all, but in the spirit of being fully equipped, Luke still equipped the escape pod, even if they can't use it, maybe he will be able to use it, he can't survive in the universe.
"Hey, yes, I remember that the escape pod in our ship seems to be cylindrical," Oi thought about it a little strangely, and said subconsciously.
"Isn't it just that the shape is different, the function is almost the same." This spherical escape pod may be old-fashioned, Luke didn't see any booster on it, it should be a passive escape pod.
The escape pods he installed on the hull of his own ship are all active, and the bottom step also has a booster device, which can sometimes be used as an airdrop warehouse.
Luke didn't really want to open the escape pod in front of him, after all, he didn't know what was in it, and it would be bad if it was a dangerous species, so now he was wrapped in a protective suit, and the people next to him were the same.
It was because Luke was so vigilant that Oi felt a little dangerous just now about the movement of Kitakami touching around on this escape pod, after all, they are all things that can make Luke treat it so carefully, and it will really be bad luck if he is not careful.
"Okay, you all stand back, Nachi, be careful." Luke had the sterilization device in his hand, and Nachi was standing next to the escape pod, waiting for it to be opened.
After seeing Luke nodding, Nazhi also raised his hand a little nervously, lifted the manual switch that Luke pointed out earlier, and turned the lock on it according to Luke's instructions.
The hatch of the escape cabin suddenly made an unpleasant and piercing creak, and at the same time, with a gap in the opening of the hatch, a cold air also came out from the inside of the escape cabin, and when I saw the layer of frost that suddenly condensed on the ground, I knew that the temperature inside this thing must be low to death.
"Oh, it's an escape pod with a dormant system, I said why did this thing make a sphere." Seeing these cold air, Luke also understood what this sphere escape pod was for.
With a dormancy system, it is natural to prevent the escape capsule from being searched and rescued for a long time after leaving the hull, resulting in the death of the members in the escape capsule because of the physical condition reaching the limit, there is a dormancy system, you can sleep when you have not been rescued for a long time, although it is also a way to resign yourself to fate, but at least it is better than being trapped alive in the escape capsule
After opening the hatch, Nazhi saw Luke waving at her, and naturally understood that this was to ask her to retreat, so he immediately nodded and retreated, leaving Luke standing alone in front of the hatch of the escape pod.
When the cold air dissipated and everyone saw the scene inside the escape pod, all the ship girls present were shocked except for Xiaobei, and gasped in their mouths.
On the seat in the escape cabin, there was actually a dead man lying on his back, and the pile of things on his head that looked like they were growing on his head, obviously not hair, although he was wearing a set of protective clothing, but his whole body was shriveled to death, and the protective clothing was loosely put on his body and looked not suitable at all.
Luke was not frightened, he naturally saw a lot of corpses, and there were even more ugly things than this, not to mention, the guy in front of him didn't seem to be dead
The guy looked like a dried corpse, but Luke could see that the tentacles-like things on the guy's head were still shaking slightly.
"He doesn't have a mouth or a nose," Kitakami was the first to say, and the strangest thing about this corpse in their eyes was that it had no nose or mouth on its face except for a pair of eye sockets, and the inside of the eye sockets was also empty, as if there were no eyeballs at all.
"Okay, don't point your finger at someone, it's rude." Raised his hand and pressed the hand of this guy Kitakami, only to receive a disgruntled look from Oi, who seemed to mind that his hand touched the small hand of her Kitakami-sama.
"Isn't he dead yet" Nazhi saw Luke's behavior, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the guy's appearance, obviously dead, but then she reacted, if it was a human, this state was almost the rhythm of death, but the key is that the person in this is obviously not human, which means that this guy is still alive
As if hearing Nachi's words, the dried corpse sitting in the escape pod suddenly became excited, and the apparent reaction was that the dry tentacles on the head began to move at a frequency visible to the naked eye, as if to protest against treating him as a corpse.
"Of course not." As he spoke, Luke took out the universal translator to see if this thing could translate what the guy wanted to say.
After waiting for a long time, the instrument ticked, and finally a word popped up, "water water"
"It seems that this old man should be dehydrated, Xiao Bei, bring Oh-chan to help bring a bucket of water from the warehouse." Scratching his head, Luke could only assume that this guy needed water, and if not, he would have said something else later.
After hearing this, Xiaobei directly pulled up the Oh sauce and the harbor Qiji beside him, and ran out on his feet, and it didn't take long for the three of them to run over with a bucket of water.
Xiao Beibei took the bucket from his hand and unscrewed the lid, Luke cautiously stepped forward and handed the bucket over, but seeing this guy like this, he couldn't even lift his hand, Luke really doubted whether this guy could do it
Ah, the translator rang again, and when I looked down, there was only one word on it again, "pour"
This benevolent brother spoke really succinctly, and he only said one word every time he spoke, but Luke probably understood what he meant, he should have asked him to pour this bucket of water into this guy's mouth, hey, no, this guy has no mouth, so where should this water be poured
It seemed that there was only one possibility to splash it on him, so Luke immediately tried to splash a little water on this guy's head, which was not much, at most only one-tenth of the bucket of water.
"With this, this guy has eyeballs" Oi's eyes kept staring at the place, and after seeing Luke pour the water down, the alien inside the escape pod swelled up at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
The originally shriveled head gradually grew larger, and even the originally empty eye sockets had two black spheres at this time, which looked like they were blowing, and they were suddenly blown up.
However, Luke noticed that not a single drop of the water poured on this guy's head was actually flowing down his side, and all of it was absorbed into his body.
And after the head swelled to the size of a normal person's head, the tentacles on the other party's head were the same, ah, they were originally tentacles, and they began to move flexibly, and the length of these tentacles was not short, and the longest could even reach the waist
It was as if the tentacles that had come to life were no longer shriveled as before, and at this time they slowly squirmed from this guy's shoulder towards the bucket in Luke's hand.
Then everyone saw the next astonishing scene, the tentacles were like straws, and after reaching into the bucket with the lid open in Luke's hand, they began to squirm one by one.
And the water in the bucket also began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the most incredible thing for the people in the north was that this guy's body, like a balloon, slowly inflated.
It didn't take long for the originally loose protective suit to be propped up by his body, and at this time, it was no longer obvious that just a few dozen seconds ago, this guy was still a dry corpse.
But just when Luke thought that this guy was going to stand up after absorbing the liquid, the translator on his wrist rang again, and when he looked down, he suddenly saw a word that made him quite embarrassed.
"I'm a female."
Well, well, I used to call someone else's brother to come, and I was a female for a long time, but now look at this guy's appearance, it's not as terrifying as the previous appearance of a dry corpse, and the tentacles on the head look soft and fleshy at this time, and the same is true for the bare head.
Coupled with the two extra black and shiny black eyes that are now there, it looks like there is really a little cute element in it.
