In the violent tremor, Cheng Lin almost subconsciously clenched the armrest on the seat, and the scene outside the rocket became blurred, it was the air flow surging at high speed.

He glanced at the other people beside him and found that everyone was the same, in Xia Guo's previous manned spaceflight, Cheng Lin remembered that at most three astronauts had been transported at the same time, but this did not mean that only three astronauts could be transported.

Similarly, fifteen people are far from the limit, even with the weight of the warhead.

It's just that in many cases, too many people are not necessarily a good thing, and too many people will lead to problems in cooperation and affect the efficiency of action, which is also the reason why there are repeated trade-offs and only a quota of 15 people in the end.

The entire launch vehicle was divided into three stages, and the fifteen of them sat in the top cabin, and the temporarily installed seats seemed a little cramped and cramped, but no one cared about these at this time.

Cheng Lin looked at the rounded fusiform warhead placed at everyone's feet, it looked ordinary, about one meter and a half high, the surface was painted with a number, and an opening device was installed, looking at it, Cheng Lin came up with the code name of this warhead in his mind: "Hope"

When he learned the name of this warhead, his mind was complicated for a moment.

"Destruction and Hope...... If I hadn't been in this situation, I might have thought the name was full of irony. ”

He thought to himself, and quickly retracted his thoughts, and found that the cabin began to shake more violently, and the invisible weight on his body was more violent.

Even with his fifth-grade physical fitness, he felt uncomfortable, and as for the two second-ranks, through the transparent helmets, he could see that his faces were flushed.

He understood that this meant that the rocket was passing through the atmosphere, and he recalled the images he had seen on TV, thinking that the rocket had probably begun to fall off in stages.

After another while, the vibration suddenly disappeared, the rumble died down, everything fell silent, and he saw some of the signal lights in front of the cabin begin to flicker regularly, and the electronic sound of "has entered the predetermined orbit" came from the communication equipment built into the spacesuit.

"We're out."

I don't know who it is, but I said with a communication device that they were in the same signal channel.

Cheng Lin pursed his lips, knowing that he had entered space, according to the process explained by Liang Jing on the big screen before, the rocket should be in geosynchronous orbit at present, and then it needs to rotate around the earth for a week and a half, stagger the rocket of the Federation and the Soviet Union, and then ignite again and deorbit.

"Buzz ......"

Suddenly, the closed porthole slowly opened, and everyone was attracted to look at the universe through the clear and transparent window.

This is not the first time Cheng Lin has seen the universe from this perspective with his own eyes.

The last time he flew into space, he had a glimpse, but he was in a hurry, but this time he can enjoy it.

The infinite universe is deep, empty and dark, only the cold starlight is flickering, but each light seems extraordinarily distant.

The sense of direction disappeared, and Cheng Lin felt that he was trying to grasp something, but he couldn't.

He looked at the earth and found that he could not see her in its entirety, after all, the orbit was still too close at the moment, and under the constraints of this distance and porthole, he could not even see the curved surface of the earth.

"It's so big......"

I don't know who sighed in the channel, and then got a burst of echo from everyone.

The earth in their eyes is slightly different from what they have seen before, the biggest change is the color, there are more large pieces of green on those land sections, and misty gray, which is the change of plant alienation to the planet, and the change can be seen from the macroscopic level, which is enough to show the drastic of the mutation.

"Look!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and Cheng Lin saw countless branches, stems and leaves appearing outside the porthole, which were "tentacles" stretched out from the body of the plant overlord, floating in the cold and silent universe, already connected to the earth, like a bridge.

"Well, if these plants weren't lethal, I might try to climb up these branches from the earth."

Someone joked that this time I heard it clearly, it was Liyang's voice.

"Haha, just you? Do you know how far this is? Hundreds of thousands of kilometers, tired to death you turtle grandson can't be afraid of it. Another member of the team quipped.

The channel was filled with a strange kind of laughter, and Cheng Lin felt that this was everyone deliberately enlivening the atmosphere, wanting to dispel the depression in their hearts.

He didn't speak, just looked at the orbit, faintly, it seemed that he also saw the figures of other rockets, but they were too far away from each other, and they couldn't even tell which country's rocket it was, let alone wave their hands, this discovery made everyone a little regretful.

After another unknown amount of time, the rockets suddenly accelerated again, derailed under the control of precise calculations, and headed diagonally towards the mass of plants in deep space, and the channel suddenly became cold, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

"Buzz ......"

A non-existent humming sound appeared, Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, just now, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity, as if he had crossed a transparent and illusory boundary.

Soon, the scene outside the cabin window began to zoom in and out of the window...... Zoom in again......

Until the whole field of vision was filled with the clump of plants, and then there was an impact, and the whole cabin rolled up, but fortunately everyone was fixed to the seats, so they were not thrown out, but the warhead, codenamed "Hope", rolled around on the ground.

"Rubbing ......"

When the vibration stopped and the hatch opened automatically, Cheng Lin shook his dazed head and saw that Shi Shengcun was already removing the "seat belt" on the seat.

His serious voice came from the channel: "Attention everyone! We've landed! Danger can happen at any time! ”

Everyone was silent, got up from their seats, climbed out of the hatch one after another according to the previous arrangement, and began to be on guard.

The last person to crawl out was an awakened person from the physical fitness department, who was responsible for carrying the warhead, Cheng Lin noticed that while he picked up "Hope", he opened a device on its surface, and then entered the password twice in turn.

Then, I heard the flare on the surface of the device begin to flicker.

"The countdown to detonation is on."

He whispered in the channel.

The crowd was silent, which was also planned, considering that the team could encounter mortal danger, and the worst case scenario would be to enter and be wiped out before it could be detonated.

Therefore, the countdown will be turned on before entering, and if there is an accident, when the scheduled time comes, it will detonate itself.

And if the process is very smooth, everyone is still alive before the countdown is lifted, and it is still far from the "white hole", then you can re-enter the password and restart the countdown.

In short, with such a mechanic, it is ensured that even if no one is in control, it will explode.

Cheng Lin retracted his gaze and began to look around.

As a mass of plants floating in the void, the "Plant Overlord" is irregular, but it is also applicable to the rules of gravity, so in Cheng Lin's feeling, he and the others seem to have landed on a strange planet.

There's gravity here, but it's much lower than on Earth...... If you jump casually, you can fly, and what you step on under your feet seems to be a huge leaf, of unknown species, with protruding roots and veins, very rough, and surrounded by a world surrounded by all kinds of strangely shaped plants, their only characteristic is that they are huge.

Raising your head, there is a layer of mist floating above your head, and through it, you can see the deep universe and the cold light, as well as ...... Full form, spherical in the shape of a rotating Earth.

"Detect your surroundings!"

In the channel, Shi Shengcun said in a deep voice.

One of the team members took out a small instrument that could detect the surrounding environment, and after a while, a line of values popped up on the instrument screen, and he was surprised to say: "The oxygen concentration here is higher than we guessed before!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they looked over one after another, and saw that the faces in the other party's astronaut helmet were also full of surprise, and the measuring instrument was displayed.

In the past few days, the people on the earth have not done nothing, and have also tried to launch a probe to analyze here, but due to the constraints of conditions and time, the harvest is not comprehensive, and it has been detected before that there seems to be oxygen on the surface of the plant overlord, but it is very thin and cannot support human breathing.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, plants are the source of oxygen...... Of course, the plant overlord may be a little special, but that doesn't prevent guessing.

However, because there is no protection from the atmosphere, oxygen will theoretically escape, so for the sake of conservatism in the plan, it is still a simulated vacuum environment.

The current changes can also be understood, firstly, there is an error between the measurement and the actual situation, and secondly, the plant overlord is constantly growing and changing, which will also lead to changes in the value.

Cheng Lin noticed that a little joy appeared on everyone's faces.

This is good news, because theoretically, the oxygen concentration inside the plant overlord will be higher, which may support their breathing, so that their "endurance" ability will be greatly improved, and if they can completely throw away the oxygen tank, it can also reduce the burden and make it easier to fight.

"Alright, hurry up, let's go down."

Shi Shengcun opened his mouth and said.

The group nodded, began to explore the surroundings, and soon found a relatively "gentle" path to the inside of the plant.

"That's it." Shi Shengcun closed his eyes and said.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, grabbed the rhizomes and leaves around them with their hands, and cautiously climbed down.

Cheng Lin stood on the edge of the leaves, looking at the "crack" below, this experience was tantamount to diving into the interior of a planet.

And this "planet" is too fluffy, it is made up of countless plants, and there are countless voids in it, if you want to enter the core as soon as possible, you need to find a gap that is spacious and safe enough to fall.

"It doesn't look too hard, but if the gravity was a little bigger, it could have landed faster."

A member of the team next to him couldn't help but say.

Shen Shanjing walked over, shook his head and said, "Gravity? But don't, that way, the 'planet' will become more compact, do you think snowballs are better drills, or ice hockey balls are better drills? ”

Cheng Lin glanced at him, thinking that Shen Shanjing was indeed making analogies, and he did have a certain talent in this area.

"Alright, let's go."

Cheng Lin opened his mouth to say the first words of his arrival, and then took the lead in jumping up and falling towards the abyss.

……

……

Contrary to initial expectations, the interior of the "Plant Overlord" was not completely dark, which rendered the searchlight equipment prepared by everyone useless.

There are many "flowers" growing inside the plant, each of which emits a different color and brilliance, like a lantern.

Especially these flowers, the smallest one is the size of a table, and the largest one is almost like a square, emitting a hazy light that is enough to provide a source of light.

This also made everyone feel as if they had entered a dream-like space.

"Be careful, don't approach too much, the more colorful things may be, the more dangerous they may be!"

Someone reminded.

Everyone tacitly avoided the colorful flowers, but tried to get as close as possible to the ordinary stems, leaves, and branches, and kept a distance of less than ten meters from each other, and began to jump.

Jumping is a more efficient way to do this kind of space than walking.

Look at the next foothold, and then bend your knees slightly to jump over, a bit of a spacewalk in a low-gravity environment, but behind the seemingly relaxed is their tense nerves all the time.

Just when everyone collectively jumped onto a huge round lotus-like blade, Shi Shengcun's shout suddenly came from the channel: "Hide!" ”

Hearing this voice, Cheng Lin subconsciously jumped to a piece of grass on the side, he had already confirmed the safety of this fast area, and the others were also about the same big moves, and they dodged one after another.

Then, I heard a shadow in the sky fly quickly, it was a strange wasp-like insect, but it was huge, like a helicopter, flying through this vast space, and soon disappeared into the depths.

"It's safe." In the channel, Shi Shengcun exhaled a breath, and everyone's tense nerves eased slightly.

"Is this a mutant insect? Oh, fortunately, the earth has not had time to change, and besides, these bugs don't seem to be very big. Someone let out a long sigh and rejoiced.

One of the female members of the team noticed something else:

"Do you think this insect needs to breathe? Does the fact that it can live here mean that the oxygen concentration here is high enough? ”

Hearing this, the member who was in charge of the testing environment before tested it again, and immediately said in surprise:

"Yes, the oxygen concentration here is even higher than that of Earth."

Li Yang took the lead in reaching out and taking off the helmet, and then said that it was no problem, everyone took it off, took a breath, and then couldn't help but shiver: "It's so cold!" ”

Cheng Lin also made a similar action, the oxygen concentration here is really high, and it is not clear why it has not escaped into the universe, but the oncoming low temperature is also amazing, and the temperature insulation of the spacesuit is better before, and it will only feel cold.

"It's best to carry an oxygen bag to prevent accidents." One of the team members looked down at the "underground" and said cautiously.

So, everyone took off their helmets one after another, tied them behind them with the lock on the spacesuit, anyway, the gravity here is low, and they don't feel heavy, and then the man with the warhead on his back looked at the time, picked up a special communicator hanging from his waist, put it to his mouth, and said:

"Normal."

According to the regulations, every fifteen minutes, a signal needs to be sent to the ground.

"Let's move on." Shi Shengcun looked at the crowd and said in the icy temperature.

The group continued to climb, jump, and march deeper from the gaps, Shi Shengcun issued warnings from time to time, and then everyone either dodged or hidden, and a fifth-grade perception ability person played a key role at this time.

Cheng Lin secretly observed him, thinking that Shi Shengcun should have an ability similar to "danger perception".

About ten minutes passed, and a group of people cautiously shuttled through this colorful and strange world without encountering any more danger, which made their nerves begin to relax subconsciously.

However, at this moment, one of the team members jumped on an outstretched branch, and as soon as he stood still, he took a breath, turned and raised his hand, ready to make a "no problem" gesture.

Suddenly, he felt a softness under his feet, and the branch that looked like a dead thing suddenly "came to life", and quickly twisted, wrapping his legs, and then, the whole tree swayed, and countless branches were like countless arms, grabbing him.

"Be careful!"

The nearest team member shouted, and with a grasp of his right hand, a dark elemental blade spread out from his palm, and then flung it over, and the elemental blade spun and severed through the branches, causing the team member to fall downward.

At the same time, an illusory vine suddenly appeared, rolling towards the hapless faller, and someone who watched subconsciously wanted to attack, only to realize that it was the ability at that time.

Cheng Lin stood on the edge of a blade, his right hand reached out, grabbed one end of the illusory Teng, and pulled it up.

At the same time, the palm of the other hand spread out, and a flaming meteorite shot straight out, smashing another twisted and fluttering flower into the air.

"Dangerous!"

In the shouting, the originally quiet space suddenly became noisy, and those strange trees, strange flowers, dark brown or crimson grass, and even white roots all "woke up", revealing their murderous intentions to them.

"Diagonally right!" Shi Shengcun's figure flashed, dodging the dense spikes that suddenly grew on the ground, and shouted.

At the same time, everyone showed their abilities and jumped diagonally to the right, trying to dodge the swarming plants.

At this moment, the difference between grades is unmistakably revealed, as long as a low-level monk releases his ability a few times, he will lose his combat power, and in order to save strength, it is very difficult to deal with it, while the middle-level is much better.

Cheng Lin turned on the "Cannibal Flower" ability, weaving a foothold composed of vines under his feet, and then moved like a spider-man, sometimes using vines to pull back teammates who were in danger.

"Get out of the way, I'll come!"

While throwing a team member behind him, Cheng Lin saw that there was no longer anyone around, so he shouted, the aura on his body surged, and the vines under his feet stretched out in all directions, like a spider web weaved.

Then, he stepped down with his right foot, and a blazing ring of fire rose, igniting the vines, spreading outward, forcing those plants back and blocking the road, Cheng Lin turned around and jumped down to a safe place.

"This way!"

In the midst of the pulling, the fifteen people ran along a gap in some embarrassment, and finally entered a quiet lawn, and when they were sure that they were not chasing, they all stopped and rested in place.

"Has anyone been hurt? Everyone rested for three minutes and then left, and I was vaguely uneasy about this place. Shi Shengcun saw that there was no one missing, so he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned and said.

"Is it dangerous?" Liyang asked.

Shi Shengcun shook his head, and behind his glasses, the aura was like a dragon circling in his eyes:

"In my perception, no, but the ability is not omnipotent, and my premonition of danger is not completely accurate, and it will be misjudged to a large extent."

"That'll do." Li Yang sat in the grass as if he was sitting on a soft cushion, and after thinking about it, he tentatively took out a dagger, cut a piece of grass, and then sucked the juice tentatively, and said, "The ordinary plants here can also replenish energy!" ”

For the sake of mobility, they can't carry too many items, so they can only use local materials.

"Be careful! Aren't you afraid of poisoning? Someone sat on the ground and reminded.

Li Yang frowned, swallowed a blade of grass fiercely, and said, "So, I'll eat first, and you can eat it when it's okay." ”

Everyone was silent, and then they stopped talking and seized the time to rest, and the members with the "warheads" also pinched the time and responded for the second time: "Normal".

"Eat a little?" After confirming that there was no problem, Shen Shanjing broke off a piece of plant like aloe vera and handed it to Cheng Lin, who was sitting on the ground.

The latter was looking at the environment, and when he heard the words, he hesitated to take it, took a bite, and swallowed it.

Fangcai's battle was sudden, and everyone was caught off guard, revealing the rustiness of the use of the ability and the roughness of the control, after all, the time was too short to polish it.

Fortunately, the plants were not strong, so all of them survived, only two of them suffered some minor injuries, and the spacesuits were somewhat damaged.

At the moment, one of them is a little thin, one of the two second-grade ones, sitting in the middle of the meadow, far away from everyone, and behind him are two mushrooms as big as houses.

When Cheng Lin's gaze swept over, his heart suddenly moved, and his spiritual tentacles spread out, ready to investigate.

At that moment, the mushroom cracked open, and a fat worm emerged from it.

It had no eyes, only a round mouth, which Huo Ran stretched out, revealing a ring of fangs, and before everyone had time to react, it rushed down and swallowed the whole of the team members who were mending clothes.

Immediately, a circle of teeth "clicked" like a knife blade, and he was bitten off at the waist!

Scarlet blood and mucus mixed with stumps flowed down, and a desolate cry quickly vanished.

"No!!"

One of the team members who was facing here saw this scene in its entirety, his face was instantly pale as paper, and his eyes were full of horror!

Cheng Lin jumped up, and with a wave of his hand, countless vines grew, pulling back several approaching team members, shouting, "Run!" ”

In the "Hazy Eye", this snow-white worm emits a sixth-grade brilliance!

Shi Shengcun also seemed to be aware of this, and immediately issued an evacuation order, escorting the warhead to evacuate in a safe direction in perception.

Everyone's face was filled with horror and anger, as well as empathy for the sadness behind them.

Obviously, he was a living teammate just now, but he died in the blink of an eye, and this kind of impact is not huge.

"I'm broken!" Shen Shanjing clenched his teeth, wisps of blood flowed down from between the bitten and broken lips, and his hands hammered downward, smashing the earth into two deep pits, and a hazy set of armor on the surface of his body was revealed through the spacesuit.

However, before he could rush up, he was pulled back by Cheng Lin and thrown behind him by means of a "vine".

"You ......" Shen Shanjing was bound by vines and flew in the air, waving his fists in vain, staring at Cheng Lin who was slowly standing up with round eyes.

The latter threw the helmet in his hand casually, turned his head and looked at him with a calm, almost indifferent look, and said:

"You can't stop it."

At the same time, with a wave of Cheng Lin's hand, a flash of illusory light appeared, and a silver glow appeared!

A six-core puppet brandished a spear and stepped out of the spirit realm.

"The auto-battle system is on."

"Targeted!"

……

……

Ground.

In the summer country, in the desert, in the hall of the satellite launch center, a huge screen is erected on the wall, and dense people stand nervously in the hall, looking up at the "picture" composed of color blocks and lines on the screen.

In the background is a picture of the plant overlord taken back by a satellite, on which abstractly the coordinates of the criss-cross grid emerge, and at a certain point, a total of fifteen points of light are flickering, which means fifteen members of the Xia Kingdom's team.

And just in the last second, one of the points of light suddenly dimmed, covered in a crimson ×.

There was an instant silence in the hall, the corners of Liang Jing's eyes twitched imperceptibly, no one spoke, but everyone knew that a living life dissipated quietly in the boundless universe.

And this may be just the beginning.
