The xenomorph is dead, but be careful.

Zheng Rui cautiously and slowly pulled the door of the air-raid shelter halfway and glanced inside. Where the light could shine clearly, there was no living creature in sight, and there was no sign of inhabitation.

This place seems to be in line with Zheng Rui's speculation, that is, it is used as an underground stadium. In the corner of this side is the high-jumping mat, which has been almost torn to the ground, and it looks like it has been used as a nest by this alien. And the sit-up cushions scattered next to it have probably been torn by the alien. There were still a few soccer balls and a few volleyballs on the ground, some of which had been punctured by aliens, and they were pitifully crumpled together.

It looks like there shouldn't be any supplies available here, but as long as the sealed door is intact, this dugout is fully usable.

Zheng Rui circled around the bomb shelter to make sure that there were no other living creatures living there.

Zheng Rui: The alien is dead, and there is nothing else in it. It's a nice bomb shelter.

Fang Tong: Huh? Do you want to live in a bomb shelter?

Zheng Rui: Why not? The dugouts are very secure.

Fang Tong: Oh...... Then you have to talk to Sister Bian and Xiaoyou, right?

Zheng Rui: Of course, I'll close the door again.

Zheng Rui came out of the bomb shelter and dragged the alien corpse out so that the sealed door could be closed again.

As she dragged the alien corpse, she saw a ball fall out of its breastplate, with a chain that appeared to be metal hanging from it.

Zheng Rui picked up the ball, which was less than the size of his thumb, and was surprised to find that it was heavy and metal-like; It has a delicate openwork structure on the outside, with a transparent lens on one side that appears to be optical glass, and when viewed through the lens it appears to have a complex pattern.

It is reasonable to guess that there should be some kind of optical structure in this.

If you can't see the pattern directly inside, maybe it means that you should be able to map a clear pattern with light?

Zheng Rui reopened the sealed door and entered the dark bomb shelter with the ball, leaving a gap in the sealed door for sunlight to shine through. She used the lens of the ball to face the path of light that formed the Tyndall effect, and adjusted the angle slightly, and a pattern was actually reflected on the opposite wall.

Zheng Rui rotated the ball slightly, until the direction of the pattern formed an image that she could understand.

Then she was stunned on the spot.

This is......

- What is it?

Zheng Rui: Comrade Fang Tong...... You come and have a look.

Fang Tong: What's wrong?

Zheng Rui: It's hard to explain directly, you have to come and see for yourself.

She spun the ball in her hand as she looked at the image reflected on the wall.

She knew that if it weren't for Fang Tong's ability to unleash emotional control, she would probably have gone crazy by now.

I don't know how long it took—maybe a few minutes, maybe only thirty or forty seconds—Fang Tong appeared at the top of the ramp. He ran all the way down, opened the door of the bomb shelter, and was relieved to see Zheng Rui standing there intact.

Fang Tong: What's wrong? What happened to you?

Zheng Rui: Look at this image.

Fang Tong: This is ...... Is this an alien?

Zheng Rui: This is the "alien" that is dead outside.

Fang Tong: Wait, I don't really understand, this is ......

Zheng Rui: You can also see that she should have been a technician when she was alive.

Fang Tong: You say "she"?

The transmission of the conscious connection contains all the information of the language, and although "she" and "it" are phonetically identical, they are completely distinguishable different information modules in the conscious connection.

When she thought of the word "she", Zheng Rui thought of the light purple tetrahedron head that she had cut off, and the sky-blue eyes with round mammal-like pupils.

That's really a beautiful pair of eyes.

Zheng Rui: You maintain your ability first, and release emotional control for yourself.

Fang Tong: Okay, I kept it up - so what is this?

Zheng Rui: As you can see, this should be a work card, or something like that. You see, she's dressed in a costume and holding what looks like some kind of instrument in a demonstrative position, so I think it's a technician.

Fang Tong: But she doesn't look like ......

Zheng Rui: It's not a "alien", right? If you look at the graphic next to it, even though I can't understand it at all, I can confirm that it is some kind of text from the repetition of the graphic in it.

Fang Tong: But this is not necessarily the so-called work permit, and the person who can hold the instrument is not necessarily a "person......

Zheng Rui: Then look at this.

She turned the ball slightly, and the image changed, and another image reflected.

Fang Tong: This is ......

Zheng Rui: This should be a photo of her and another "person", probably her family. Can you tell which one is her? She was dressed in a different garment—what I had thought was a cuirass and a belly armor, but in fact it was theirs, no wonder they were different, and the texture was not the same as the shell.

Fang Tong: So...... So they really are......

Zheng Rui: They are human beings – people in the broadest sense of the word, intelligent beings.

Fang Tong: But why is that? If they are human, then why would they hunt humans like wild beasts? Don't they know that we are human too?

Zheng Rui: I don't know...... Maybe they're crazy, just like Liu Haojia and them.

It's a terrible thought.

Having lost nearly all of the surface structures that represent modern facilities, humans have become, by and large, behaving like wild beasts—living in caves, finding and hoarding food, hunting "aliens", and killing each other.

Even in this comparison, the behavior of the "aliens" is a little more "civilized" than them, after all, the "aliens" do not kill each other.

Fang Tong: But they lay eggs in human corpses - how can intelligent beings lay eggs in the corpses of other species so casually?

Zheng Rui: Probably different civilizations have different moral standards.

Fang Tong: Then they must be crazy...... How can this be? And it doesn't make sense, they came to Earth just to live like beasts here?

Zheng Rui: Maybe they didn't come voluntarily, just like we didn't voluntarily lose the surface buildings.

Fang Tong: Who did this kind of thing? This...... This is equivalent to the destruction of two civilizations at the same time......

Zheng Rui: I don't know, but this may have been beyond the scope of human understanding for a long time, just like ancient people dug up fossils and imagined dragons. To avoid similar mistakes, according to Occam's razor's law, don't make more assumptions just yet.

Zheng Rui spun the ball again, and this time Fang Tong trembled and reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Instead of transmitting information in the consciousness connection, he said directly in his own voice: "Then don't put it again......"

"Are you afraid, Comrade Fang Tong?" Zheng Rui asked calmly.

Although her calm at this time was entirely due to Fang Tong's ability - he put maintaining Zheng Rui's calm in the first place, and at this time he was almost unable to maintain control of his emotions.

"I'm afraid ......" Fang Tong's voice trembled, but he only said half of it.

Fang Tong: Now the mood swings of the two of us...... I'm almost past the limits of my abilities......

Zheng Rui projected the sea of flowers in the Garden Expo Park in her mind.

She took Fang Tong's hand in turn.

Zheng Rui: Don't be afraid, let's go back.
