"What are these?"

Some gatherers curiously approached the nearest vegetation and carefully observed.

"It should be some kind of crop, and this is the food supply area."

"Let's get out, this is not the place we are looking for."

The Gatherers chose to leave, the same choice as in the previous room, and their priority now was to find the sapient beings of that unknown civilization.

"There are two left, which one to choose?"

"Choose this one."

As soon as the door opened, it was not as dark as the first two lights, just a finger of darkness.

With the help of the infrared perspective, the collectors saw that in the darkness, there were three corridors that were connected somewhere.

"These are three tunnels, where do they connect?"

"Hide, everyone! There are objects approaching! ”

The skeptical collectors suddenly caught a high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal in a corridor, and they didn't have time to think about it, they bounced directly to the top like fleas, and adsorbed themselves to fit, changing their skin color, and blending with the environment at the top.

"Is that what we're looking for?"

"I don't know."

"Focus on it, this mission is about whether the race can discover a new civilization."

"It's coming."

A six-legged, movable object was slowly moving towards the collector, and the high-frequency electromagnetic signal came from it.

"A mech?"

It was a mecha that the gatherers could recognize, and the mech, after dumping something somewhere, turned back into the depths of the tunnel.

"It's gone."

"Let's go down and see what it's unloading."

"Be careful."

Approaching the pile of unloaded objects, which looked like a pile of scattered rubble, the gatherers noticed that the ground they were on was a platform made up of the small rubble dumped by the mech, which seemed to have been working for some time.

A few small rubbles were placed in the mouth, and the collectors quickly analyzed the composition of the items.

"These are metal ores, and it seems that the mechanical body just now is the mining tool of the intelligent creature that lives in this underground facility."

"Those tunnels should be excavated, let's go to the last one, and if we don't find intelligent species there, we'll go deep into the mine to find it."

"Hmm."

When I opened the last door, the space behind this door was not large, and it was completely insignificant compared to the space behind the previous three doors, which was about a hundred square meters in size.

The first thing that catches the eye is something that looks like a coffin.

"It's a hibernation pod! I've seen something similar in the Serene Seed Project materials! ”

"There's a living organism hibernating inside."

A part of the hibernation pod is transparent, and through this transparent part, the collectors saw a sleeping one in the pod, whose face resembled that of a bird, especially an organism with a mouth that closely resembled Daigo.

Gatherers look at their surroundings.

"There's a lot of electronics here, but they're all dormant."

"The intelligent creature has been found, but what next? Wake up? ”

"What to do? Take all of them directly, sleep cabins, electronic equipment, robots in the mines, etc., take everything you can take away, don't let go of any of them. ”

Gatherers answer questions from their fellow tribes as a matter of course.

"Isn't it a waste of energy and resources to overcome the gravitational pull of the planet?"

"In the face of the future of the race, what is a little resource consumption?"

was asked by his fellow clansmen like this, and the gatherer who originally pitied the resources suddenly figured it out.

"Understood."

A creature with almost no signs of life lying flat on a soft bed, but this one is still alive, the cells are still alive, and it is only living in a minimal dormant state, which is called suspended animation in the field of human medicine.

Suddenly, some kind of opportunity was achieved, and the heart rhythm that had stopped was activated, and the corpse suddenly opened its eyes.

"Drink"

He opened his mouth slightly, took a big gulp of air, and expelled the exhaust gas from his body, this is breathing, the life cycle of the organism is started again, he is reborn from death, like a newborn baby, greedily absorbing everything he needs for his life cycle, this is the instinctive reaction of life.

This was followed by a violent cough.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

"Phew, ha, huh"

The cough used to be a steady breath, and the creature's own consciousness slowly revived in the process, and he looked around weakly.

At this moment, the creature that was slowly recovering did not have the strength to get up, not even the strength to speak, and it was extremely laborious to roll its eyes and observe its environment.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, very white and very bright, and there was no lighting fixture, it was the ceiling that was glowing, and the same was true of the upper edge of the wall connected to the ceiling.

What is this place? The organism first thought of such a question, and then a second question came to mind: Why am I here?

In this way, I don't know how much time passed, the creature stared at the ceiling motionlessly, and to the creature's surprise, he didn't feel hungry at all while waiting for his body.

Over time, although the body has not fully recovered from suspended animation and is still unable to move, simple micro-movements have been achieved, and complex mental thinking can be carried out.

At this time, the question in the mind of the organism has changed again, I should hibernate in the hibernation module, the sequelae of hibernation awakening are still there, indicating that this is reality, since this is reality, then where am I now?

Did the government finally send someone to pick me up?

But why am I now lying here alone?

What about doctors? What about nurses? What about journalists?

The curiosity that plagued the organism with a thousand questions, and the desire to know the answers gave him motivation, and the creature turned its neck with great difficulty and stiffness, tilting its head to one side, so that his eyes could see the lower edge of the wall and the ground.

Like the upper part of the room, it is white and flawless, and it can also be illuminated.

On the left-hand side is a small, one-legged table, placed like a bedside table near the edge of the bed, within reach of the organism's reach.

A transparent glass was quietly placed on the table, and the quilt contained the liquid.

The body has not fully recovered, it is very difficult to lift a finger, and the information that the organism can collect is only this for the time being, and he needs to continue to wait.
