Volume 1 Fateful Encounters Chapter 43 Landing on Haiwen Star
When Morningstar and Kent explain their idea of logging in, they are taken aback. Maybe it's for show, or maybe it's really surprised, after all, in such a situation that is close to death, logging in is basically an unexpected death. Kent didn't have a subordinate like Norin Hill who could read the other party's mind directly, so he could only reluctantly accept the reason given by Morning Star - the Republic Warriors were not afraid of death. But Kent still has a grit in his heart, this guy called Morning Star can play better than himself.
According to the agreement, the Third Fleet should give Morningstar maximum support. But when Kent came up with the idea, it was rejected by Morningstar. Instead of asking for high-end combat power, not asking for logistical supplies, Morningstar just demanded that when he found a solution to the dead disease, Kent needed to send a landing force to evacuate the civilians.
Perhaps out of protection for Catherine, Morningstar landed only with Quinn and Norin Hill. Catherine, on the other hand, was very unhappy and lost her temper, but after Morningstar whispered a few words to her, she changed quickly and was very happy.
Quinn, who was already on the landing ship, was snuggling up to the morning star at the moment, and she didn't have the consciousness of a queen at all. When Quinn asks how Morningstar persuaded Catherine, Morningstar's answer makes her laugh and cry - protect my harem!
Shortly after, the landing ship finally arrived at the target location, a secure area established by the previous landing force and medical units. This safe zone is not large, and it seems to be a mountain villa used by Hai Wenxing for tourism and recuperation. It's just that this mountain villa covers a lot of area, the size of a small city. The safe zone, known as the Vault, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, all of which are cliffs, with only one side close to the land being fortified with firepoints. Inside the vault, there are troops to maintain order, but the depressed scene is difficult to see. Civilians in tattered clothes, crying children, the occasional cry for help, and the loveless expressions on people's faces can make people's moods depressing.
When Morning Star arrived at the command center of the Vault, the commanders of the military and medical units in the Vault were already waiting. Although Morningstar is not a big person, anyone who is willing to land at this point in time to help will be welcomed by everyone on Haven Star. Dare to use his life to help others, why should he care about his background. The commander of the defense unit is an old man with gray hair, and under today's medical and genetic technology, the life expectancy of human beings has generally been extended by more than 50 percent. The commander's name is Shiraishi, and according to his own introduction, he is in the same vein as Morning Star, as early as the Earth period, Shiraishi's ancestors moved to the Alliance for business reasons, and then branched out and developed in the Alliance. After the interstellar voyage, Baishi's family still maintained the purity of the bloodline, and did not intermarry with the rest of the race, so the current Baishi still seems to be just the face of the ancient republic. Shiraishi was very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Morning Star was a little embarrassed. Helping Morningstar introduce the commander of the medical unit, he left in a hurry on business. The commander of the medical unit was a middle-aged woman named Christine. According to her, the situation in the current shelter is far from optimistic. But her team is still doing their best to find ways to fight the dead epidemic, and the results are good.
Since its establishment, the shelter has taken in nearly 100,000 civilians who have not become ill. One of the results of the medical team was the development of drugs that could delay the onset of the death epidemic. Although there are still occasional cases of illness among civilians and military personnel in the shelters, they have been very effectively controlled. Led by Christine, Morningstar and his party visited most of the shelter's facilities, and the last place to stop was the medical center. Here, Morningstar meets Christine's daughter. The young girl, Helen, was accompanied by Christine to land and rescue. Christine touched Helen's hair, and a strong maternal love and self-blame overflowed. But Helen doesn't care about the current death situation, for her, if she can save one more person, it is very meaningful to die. Morningstar received a great deal of information from Helen about the dead plague, and came into contact with the sick after the onset of the dead plague. As Kent said, after the onset of the disease, these patients have lost their humanity and become violent machines, destroying everything they see in front of them, and eventually dying of vitality. In Helen's incomprehensible gaze, Morningstar and Quinn came into close contact with the sick patients of the dead epidemic, but the results obtained made Morningstar and Quinn look at each other, quite different. The cause of the onset of the dead plague is unknown, but the structure of the body that multiplies after the onset of the disease is typical of the alien organism. However, unlike the gene fusion of Morning Star and Quinn, this kind of proliferative body has a strong predatory nature, they directly cut off the patient's nerve transmission and nutrient supply, and instead become controlled by the proliferative body, and nourish the proliferative body by plundering the nutrients in the patient's body, and finally gain complete control of the patient's body. This can also explain the phenomenon that a small number of people can still control themselves after being infected, which can probably be explained by the fact that a strong will overcomes the proliferative organism and eventually still holds control of their own body.
Morning Star, who got this information, indicated to Helen that he needed to take a break, and under Helen's arrangement, the group of three returned to the resting place. After checking that there was no monitoring equipment, Morningstar finally proposed his idea to Quinn.
"Abbather is probably the one of the most skilled at evolution in the alien race, did he talk to you about the evolutionary direction of forcibly plundering the bodies of other creatures?" Morningstar asked.
Quinn shook his head, expressed his denial, and said, "The direction of Abasser's focus, the strengthening of the race itself, he must disdain to study this kind of parasite-like behavior. Such an act would simply make him feel insulted. ”
Thinking back to everything he had seen on Alpha 137, Morningstar agreed with Quinn's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, Morningstar asked again, "Do you feel the hostility of those patients, I always have a strange thought in my heart, I think those patients seem to think that I am his kind, but they have a clear desire to attack Norin Hill. ”
"Yes, those proliferating organisms are not hostile to the two of us, does this mean that although they have different external forms, they are still a kind of alien insects?" Quinn affirmed Morningstar's idea and asked back.
"I think we need more information and give it to Anshidar, whose wisdom can help us." Norin Hill, who had been sitting across from Morning Star, suddenly spoke up to give her an opinion. Although he has not yet fully mastered the lingua franca of humans, Norin Hill has been able to communicate with people normally, although the pronunciation is occasionally strange.
"I agree with Nolin, I think Chubb will have a better solution, and since Helen's team has made a breakthrough in the study of the dead epidemic, maybe they are only a little bit of help, we can try to communicate with them." Quinn jumped from a side seat into Morningstar's arms, completely oblivious to Norin Hill's surprised look.
Just when no one wanted to do something next to the two of them, Norin Hill said again: "Morning Star, when I entered the command room, I felt the killing intent, but it was only fleeting, I can't be sure who it is, but I have memorized the appearance of those people, and I will point it out to you when I see them in the future, I hope you are careful, it is a very strong killing intent." ”
Morningstar poked his head out from under Quinn's armpit and asked with some confusion, "Why, the commanders on both sides are very friendly, I don't feel it at all." ”
"It's not from the commander, I've read all their thoughts, and they don't have any ill will towards you, especially Shiraishi, whose aura is simply friendly." After a pause, Norin Hill added, "That killing intent came from the officers below, but I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell who it was. ”
Hearing this, Morningstar hurriedly comforted Norin Hill, but before he could say anything more, he was interrupted by Quinn's red lips to say what he was about to say. After a few moments, Quinn took the initiative to let go of Morningstar, turned back to Norin Hill and said, "Do you want to join us?" Elf? ”
Although Norin Hill has not yet fully mastered human language, he can clearly discern the meaning of Quinn's words. Hearing Quinn's question, Norin Hill hurriedly stood up, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head and almost touched his chest, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, I'd better leave." With that, he ran out of the room without looking back.
The two people in the room looked at each other and smiled, and then plunged into the atmosphere again.
Meanwhile, in a barracks inside the vault, six warriors are sitting around discussing how to get rid of Morning Star.
"The black-haired woman next to him is not easy to deal with, that momentum, it feels very tricky."
"Don't you have to fight them face to face, our mission is only to assassinate, not to duel. No matter how powerful she is, can she still resist firearms? ”
"Maybe we can do something to that white-haired girl, who looks soft and weak, and doesn't have much lethal power."
"That's right, tie her up, I can't control myself a little when I see her."
"Idiot, sooner or later you will die in a woman's belly. But don't take that white-haired girl too lightly, don't you feel it, there's something strange about her hair, as if there's something hidden underneath. ”
"When you say this, I also remember, many years ago, I once attended a noble party, that nobleman's slave girl, a female slave girl of the starry sky elf, when she appeared, her hair was very similar to this girl, and they hid their pointed ears under their hair to make their hair look like this."
"What you say is true? Starry Sky Elves? Made, Lao Tzu can't stand it anymore, I heard that those elves are gentle and gentle, and they are the best bed companions! I didn't expect this kind of windfall. ”
"Shut up, don't forget what we're here for, don't get sideways. Let's all prepare well, since they have come to Haiwenxing, they are bound to go out on a mission, we just need to follow them and complete the mission. ”
"Boss is angry, listen to you, but can we just kill that Morning Star and leave the other two behind?"
"It's up to you, you have the ability to kill Morning Star, and I don't care about the other two."
These six people are the flags that Nick's father arranged for the landing force to prepare for revenge on Morning Star, but because of the special situation of Haven Star, they cannot accept the order to stop the assassination mission, and they are still conspiring and calculating Morning Star's party.
Outside the lounge, Nolyn Hill sat by the door, her hands on her ears, bothered by the occasional sound coming from the room. Norin Hill, who couldn't help but be curious, used her ability to perceive the thoughts of the two people in the house, and the results made her more curious about human feelings, not out of the consideration of racial reproduction, Quinn and Morningstar's behavior in the house was influenced by a thought called "love", the dual fusion of soul and body, and the formation of an aura made Norin Hill feel unprecedentedly beautiful.
But, what's going on with those voices? Norin Hill covered her ears again, and the strange sound made her body strange, so annoying!
