Volume 4: The Seed of Holiness (27)
In a small open-air park, Liu Yuxin carefully treated Johnny's injuries with an ice pack that had been beaten into a pig's head by a friend
"Are you alright? I'm really sorry this time, it's all because I didn't stand firm......"
"How can I blame you? Oh, these grandsons are really dead! ”
A person who didn't pay attention and hurt Johnny's wound again, looking at Johnny's eyes that were about to narrow into a slit, Liu Yuxin felt guilty
In fact, you are wronged......
I wonder what kind of expression he will have when he knows the truth? The whole incident is actually an oolong.
"I didn't expect there to be a place like this in a battleship"
In order to avoid feeling guilty for no reason, Liu Yuxin diverted the topic. He also felt a little unbelievable that there was a park in the battleship.
"In fact, this used to be an agricultural garden area, providing livelihood security for the people inside the battleship. However, due to the fact that the number of creatures in the battleship was decreasing due to the long-term isolation from the ground, the park was gradually abandoned. When our elders saw it, they thought it was a pity and tried to turn it into a park. When we were young, we used to play in this park, but when we grew up, there were more combat missions, and we haven't been here for a long time"
Johnny talks about the memories of the park. Hey? This time I came to the park with my sister, is it a date?
Liu Yuxin couldn't help but feel sad for them in her heart. Abandoned by the Alliance, they live in an isolated place, where the whole world is this battleship, and they only come into contact with combat and xenomorphs every day. Perhaps the only memory of childhood is the happy time in the park, right?
What makes people care is, what does this have to do with the giants? In every way, this battleship is very similar to another piece of the Giants, and the mecha design is even more identical. Liu Yuxin was almost certain that this was definitely another giant ruin.
"What the hell is going on here? Why are battleships buried in the ground? ”
These two questions have been hovering in Liu Yuxin's heart like a stalk in her throat, and she asked them unconsciously
"According to the people of the underworld, this is the stronghold of a great race, called the River Styx. It was a city built on the battleship Styx, and the flower-like metal bracket was its wall. Tens of thousands of years ago, it still existed on the surface. ”
"About 40,000 years ago, the central core of the Giants was raided by xenomorphs. All of the giants on the battleship participated in the battle that would decide the fate of their race through the teleportation array reinforcement center, leaving only a few engineering maintenance personnel subordinate to their dwarf clan and a small number of Terran guards. But they are never to return, and the stewards who have been ordered to stand by have stayed here for thousands of years, quietly waiting for the return of the giants. ”
"The changes in the earth's crust have gradually made it no longer suitable for production and rest, and the base, which can no longer be sustained, has to let most of the people move out, leaving only a small number of people behind. Over the years, the entire base slowly sank underground as the terrain changed, but the understaffed base was helpless. In the end, the entire base sank into the ground for several hundred meters, and the city wall was also cracked and deformed under the pressure of the rock, and finally formed this shape. ”
Johnny who said this found that Liu Yuxin was not very shocked, and couldn't help but be very curious
"I don't think you're surprised, isn't it a secret that there are other civilizations on Earth?"
"Oh, I've been to a place that looks like something about it, so the giants know a little bit about it, but the common people still don't know about it."
When Liu Yuxin said this, Johnny became curious
"There are other places on earth that look like this! Where is it? How is it? Tell me about it! ”
"When I went, it was in ruins, only some wreckage, and the place was dangerous, and we didn't find out clearly."
Liu Yuxin could already be sure where the giant clan of this battleship ended up. The center of the giant clan in his words was undoubtedly the place he had reached through the teleportation array. But there was a fog in that place, and Liu Yuxin didn't know which things were important secrets and what could be shared, so she was simply vague.
It seems that their Anubis should be a mecha of the same level as the bull-headed mecha of the underworld. And the reason why the bull head was abused so badly by the green dragon should be related to the fact that the underworld has been damaged and cannot load the bull head with arms. So where did Sister Suzu's holy angel come from? My bracelet number LX620005, to say that there is only one holy angel, it is estimated that no one will believe it. But why is the alliance never used in war? And the Raven Tengu too, they have never appeared in the war with the Xenomorphs. The more you learn about the Alliance, the more confusing things become.
"Dididi~DidiDi~"
The closed terminal beeped, indicating that Liu Yuxin had access to external communications.
Liu Yuxin turned on the terminal again, and it was an old man with white hair who connected to his communication
"Hello, I'm James, the former vice-captain of the commando. William. I heard Lieutenant Colonel Liu Dongfa say that you have used your authority to open the facilities of the Giant Clan. We are trapped underground precisely because we can't open the various reserves in the battleship and lack of logistical support, I would like you to try to see if you have the permission to open these warehouses."
"Okay, I'll go over later"
Liu Yuxin turned off the communication and said to the stunned little friend on the side
"I've got something to leave, it's okay to go home alone, right?"
——————
"Please follow me!"
A dwarf lady greeted Liu Yuxin politely.
Liu Yuxin looked curiously at the pocket beauty of about one meter in front of her. Beautiful facial features, well-proportioned limbs. Except that the head proportion is relatively large, it is actually not much different from a human child.
The midget lady smiled
"I'm a descendant of the ship's maintainers, and you can call me Jane. Please come with me, they are waiting for you inside."
Jane reminded him again, and Liu Yuxin led him to a conference room.
The small conference room was already full. In addition to a few old men with white sideburns, including James, there were some dwarfs with tufts of sideburns next to their ears sitting on the other side. To Liu Yuxin's surprise, Qi Xing was actually in the conference room, greeted her with a smile, and found a close position to sit down.
"These are the Battleship Maintenance Officers"
James pointed to the paint star with his hand again
"This is the ship's security officer"
Qi Xing was one of the leaders of this battleship, which also surprised Liu Yuxin, but he didn't see it at all when they met for the first time.
"Surprised? I was also surprised, Your Excellency the Captain of the Guard! You're several levels above me, and I never thought that ordinary humans would be given such glory. ”
Seeing Qi Xing's serious appearance doesn't seem like a joke, maybe she knows something about her strange identity. But now is not the time to explore this
"What do you want me to do?"
If you don't know anything, you can only follow their arrangement
"Your Excellency, Captain of the Guard, I would like to ask you to communicate with the archon of the battleship."
A gnome stood up and placed a silver-white box in a dimple on the table.
"Click, click, click"
After the sound of the mechanism unfolding, the box rose again, but it had already morphed into a verification terminal with an opening in the middle.
Liu Yuxin, who had seen this kind of equipment, put her hand with the terminal inside, and her fingertips were slightly numb. The screen in the conference room has lit up, revealing a blurred human face
"Hello, Your Excellency the Captain, what do you need me to do?"
She was recognized by the alal of the battleship!
Several old men from the former commandos stood up excitedly. As long as enough supplies are available, biters will no longer be a problem. It also means they'll be home soon! (In fact, many people's homes have fallen)
"So, can you open the weapons depot for me?"
Liu Yuxin asked
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Captain of the Guard. The order of the captain of the original battleship is to stand by in place, and opening the reserve will give the field personnel on the battleship the ability to go on expeditions, and you of different sequences do not have the right to change this order without a specific order. ”
As soon as the battleship manager said this, the hearts of the people present were half cold, and the members of the Marine Corps whose hopes were shattered were even more like ashes.
Liu Yuxin thought about it
"Your Excellency, I have dealt with the Archons of the Underworld, and I know that you are all digital beings with their own minds, not rigid intelligence that only knows how to carry out orders. Now that the center seems to have suffered a fatal blow, it is no longer possible to issue another order. If this continues, the base will only be destroyed, and I propose a search motion to open up at least some of the supplies so that they can go to search for the captain, and ask His Excellency the Consul to adjudicate it. ”
al was silent, he had been cut off from the outside world for tens of thousands of years, in fact, the center also knew very well what the next time it would be. But out of his own duty, he could not show favoritism, and could only watch the personnel of the battleship disappear. In fact, it also very much hopes to send personnel to contact its former partners, and the captain of the guard in front of him said that he had just met the judge not long ago, and this is indeed a very rare opportunity!
"Well, it seems that the center is in an unprecedented crisis, and may be in need of our support. I'm going to open up some of the supplies for my partner's search efforts. But, Your Excellency the Captain, you have to vouch for this. You have to be sure that they will be loyal to that mission. ”
Liu Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, she also completed the task in disguise, right?
"I can vouch for them and push them to carry out their mission in the future"
"Your Excellency, Captain of the Guard, Don't Forget Today's Oath"
The screen went dark
"D5 area has been unlocked"
One of the gnomes looked at his terminal and nodded
James slapped his palm in excitement
"Great! Let's go back and prepare to launch an attack plan against the xenomorphs, and we must open the passage to the ground as soon as possible."
Just when everyone got up to go out
"That...... Can I see the meteorites you brought back from the crater? ”
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Yuxin still put forward this request. Not only because she was summoned by it, but Liu Yuxin also wanted to see with her own eyes the culprit who distorted the trajectory of her life.
Qi Xing and the others in the conference room looked at each other, and then greeted Liu Yuxin
"Okay, you come with me!"
