Chapter 8: Chromium

Blake came to a strange galaxy, Parker was serving coffee to Blake, the two of them saw a strange planet, Blake scanned the surrounding universe, looked at the encyclopedia.

It is said that a long, long time ago, two small black holes appeared at the far ends of the two poles of this planet at the same time, and the planet was rotated and pulled by two different directions of traction, and the overall shape of the planet slowly became a long strip in 570,000 years, and these two black holes that were not far from the poles at both ends slowly drifted away, leaving a planet with long screw lines, the core of the planet exploded continuously in the next 1400 years, and the continental sections of the planet kept drifting, hitting each other, and stacking. The number of earthquakes reached more than 9,000 every 12 Earth hours, these successive explosions and earthquakes caused the center of the planet to shift in one direction, so the planet became a crescent moon with screw lines, after 1400 years the planet no longer earthquakes, the core stabilized, and then a wealthy businessman hired a huge spaceship from Dawn Nebula to reshape the top of the planet into a banana handle, and the planet FarHARD-997734 was officially renamed Twisted Banana……

After approaching the planet, I found that the cracks between the twisted continental plates of the planet were clearly visible, and from a distance it was just a trench, but up close it was a canyon, so deep and dark that no one knew if it could reach the center of the earth. The tilt of the plant is also different on different fractures, and it is very obvious, like a hair parted in the middle or 28.

The company did not give any specific coordinates for this mission, but stipulated that Blake could only land and collect samples in an uninhabited area of thin air, and the company allocated Blake a few new pieces of equipment to deal with the special situation here, and Blake picked a seemingly safe place to stop the spacecraft.

Blake looked at the PDA: "There are so many samples to collect!" ”

Blake and Parker the Robot find a great spot for ore collection, where the stones are colorful and there appear to be many kinds of metals and non-metals, and he begins to collect samples on the ground, and Parker is also hammering on the ground to look like a geologist. Blake suddenly stood up in a strange position, he felt the gravity turn upside down, and he was being pulled into the sky, but he still stood on the ground and didn't fall out. Blake's senses suddenly had a spatial misalignment, and everything he saw was upside down, and Parker kept asking, "How do you feel?" What's wrong Blake? Parker turned on his diagnostic equipment, and he found that Blake's was under a powerful psychic attack, and someone used powerful brain waves to send false information to Blake, forcing him to cover up the real information, not only Blake's optic nerve was upside down, but also other senses. Pakra grabbed Blake's hand and said, "Follow me back to the ship!" Pakra grabbed Blake and turned and walked back.

Even walking normally was quite painful, and Blake's body coordination also had problems due to the upside down: "Did you get there?" I'm going to throw it up, why is everything reversed? ”

Parker comforted: "It's soon, it's fast!" ”

Parker walked for hours and couldn't go back.

Parker opened his anti-virus software and started to kill the virus, he found that his GPS system and the basic built-in compass were problematic, Parker felt very strange that the built-in compass is a mechanical instrument, how could this kind of problem occur, Parker also used his eyes to see the road and still couldn't go back? All the roads turned into a labyrinth? Parker began to correct his position again, he restarted his eyes, then refreshed his visual system, and when he refreshed, he saw that a monster only appeared for a short time and then disappeared, he looked hard at the references around him, he used geometry to calculate a distorted route, he changed the XY axis calculation method to the XYZ axis calculation method, and he began to walk crookedly forward.

Blake couldn't help but his mouth was full of things, he spit in his helmet, Blake coughed continuously and he choked, Parker pressed the button on Blake's clothes, the button turned on the anti-vomit vacuum cleaner in the suit, the vomit was quickly sucked away, and slowly Blake got better.

Parker's geometry was correct, and he was starting to go in the right direction, and he seemed to see the way he came.

Suddenly, Parker's eyes were dark, and the lens pupils of his robotic eyes suddenly closed automatically, and Parker tried to restart his eyes but to no avail. Parker pulled Blake with one hand, touched the air with the other hand in front of him, felt the flow of the wind, and Parker's body began to emit a little flash, and Parker replaced his vision with a large number of extracorporeal tactile sensors.

There was a bang, a bang, a bang, and the tactile sensors on Parker's body began to explode one by one, sparks in all directions, and the flashes disappeared one after another.

At the same time, Blake began to feel the world spinning and his body kept shaking, Blake's brainthalamus was stimulated in some way, and he began to feel dizzy again, and he saw that Parker was no longer able to ask, "Are you okay?" ”

Parker: "My internal program is starting to be hacked, I saw a monster before, that thing was pale red all over and just flashed and disappeared, be careful of this guy." Take out that injection right away and use it quickly! ”

"This side effect is very strong." Blake pulled out a clip, there were needles at the upper and lower ends of the clip, Blake took off his helmet, Blake grabbed a piece of flesh from his neck and clamped it against his artery, he suddenly felt that everything was back to normal, the world was no longer upside down, and he was no longer dizzy, Blake's brain began to bulge, began to develop twice, and the cranial cavity increased by 200%.

Parker: "I'll upload the profile to your PDA, take a look!" ”

The air here is thinner, but Blake's brain needs to consume more oxygen after the volume is increased and he can't wear a helmet, Blake inhales a lot of air violently, and the movement of his chest is very large.

Blake looked at his PDA and exclaimed, "What is this?" Even though my brain is big now, he is bigger."

There was a pale red brain with a lot of dents on the PDA, and this brain was floating in mid-air with eyeballs and other meridians, which was really disgusting.

Parker stammered, "This is what I saw when I was attacked." As soon as he finished speaking, Parker the robot turned itself off.

Blake felt a powerful brain wave entering wrong information into him, and once again deceived the optic nerve to make it upside down, and Blake, whose brain energy was increased, tensed his blood vessels, and forcefully rotated his visual signal 180 degrees again. His gaze returned to normal again, and Blake sighed. Blake looked around, it seemed that he had been dragged into a certain space, and he didn't even have clothes, Blake suddenly felt that something was burning himself, and there was a problem with his sense of touch, as if someone had put him on an iron plate for frying, the first half of his body began to be scalded and reddened, and there were a lot of blood blisters, and the back half of his body seemed to have been thrown into the glacier, and the skin of the back half of his body began to peel off from the blisters for too long, and a large number of folds appeared on his toes, Many of the frostbitten and necrotic parts of his body began to bulge and glow a dark brown color, and Blake wondered if his senses had been deceived and destroyed again, or had he really been damaged by the hot and cold attack.

Blake kept using his mental resistance to resist the pain of hot and cold, Blake rolled on the ground in pain, his body almost collapsed after a long time, the ATP in Blake's body was quickly converted into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) The pain was stopped, he tried to concentrate, Blake's mind began to think of a balanced scale, and his mind began to add weights of the same weight to both ends of the scale. Suddenly, with a squeak, a monster popped out, and he seemed to be hot and cold, curled up in pain.

Blake found that his armor spacesuit was back, and he saw that the monster looked exactly like the one on the PDA, and he looked very abruptly like a part of the human nervous system. Blake's thinking just now led to powerful damage, and this kind of thinking turned the damage to himself into an equal sharing between the monster and Blake, and the monster's mental attack actually caused self-injury, and the monster quickly retracted its mental attack on Blake, and he sank through the stone to the ground below.

Blake watched the alien run away but had no choice, and soon Blake was attacked again, and he was pulled into the mind of the monster alien, his armor and spacesuit were gone, and he was naked again. Blake began to feel itchy all over his body, this inexplicable itch was really unbearable, he kept scratching the skin, slowly the whole body became more and more itchy, Blake scratched off a piece of skin, this skin and flesh fell down together, Blake tried to grab this skin, but did not catch it, Blake felt a strange itch on his stomach, and scratched again, a piece of skin on his stomach fell down with meat and navel, Blake saw that his navel fell and screamed in fright, Blake felt that he was bleeding and he was starting to lose some of his legs, so he sat down and began to concentrate his mental strength to shield himself from the pain. The itching of the upper body was stopped, but at this time Blake felt that his lower body was also very itchy, if he scratched his lower body, then the consequences would be very serious, Blake forced himself to scratch the itch, he tried to block the itchy feeling, but he couldn't, he could only think hard about the previous hearsay: a lucky, lively orangutan looking for food in the garbage can, its thick lips chewing on the cake left over from the human eat, it seemed not very satisfied with this food, it suddenly saw a fat bird on the wire, it grabbed a tennis ball and smashed it, snapped and hit the bird's head, and the bounced tennis ball hit another bird, so that both birds fell down, and the orangutan's breakfast problem was solved.

Blake found himself back in his original place, he was still on the planet, the alien surfaced again, the alien also began to itch, Blake pulled out the gun, the alien glared at Blake, and the gun was gone. The alien sank again, and when the alien was completely gone, Blake's gun came back, he couldn't figure out what was going on with his gun, Blake was so angry that he stomped his foot, and he suddenly found that his leg could also sink into the ground, just need to concentrate, and he tried to pull his leg out.

The aliens began to mentally attack Blake again, Blake began to smell strange smells, Blake was dragged into the other party's mind again, the smell here began to be strong with a plant fragrance, Blake found that there was a leaf in the air, the leaves were slowly drifting to the ground, the leaves gradually changed from green to yellow-green, and seemed to be still changing color and drying, Blake felt that if this leaf fell to the ground, it would completely wither and die like the leaves, so Blake's thoughts began to concentrate, He thought about the scale again, but this time he seemed to be stopped from adding the weights, and the two weights disappeared. It seems that this thinking did not succeed, the principle of "one trick is eaten all over the world" is difficult to hold during space exploration, Blake began to think of a way to remedy it again, he thought about it, this time he thought of a pair of twin women, Blake shot one of the women in the heart with a laser gun, this woman fell down in pain, 1 second later the other woman also died without external injuries, although the two of them were not in the same country.

At this time, the leaves became two, the leaf representing Blake seemed to fall faster, Blake felt that he was aging rapidly, his skin was aging and becoming dry, there were many folds, there was no moisture at all, age spots followed, his hair turned white, and white hairs began to grow in his ears, and he could see that his body was aging rapidly. Blake, who had lost all his teeth, tried to concentrate as much as he could, his lips were tightly concave, and he began to increase the use of time in his brain, so that Blake's leaves fell more slowly, and just as the leaf representing the alien was about to land first, Blake returned to reality with a bang, and the alien monster popped out of the ground with a swoop. It seemed that the attack was lifted, and Blake rushed over and "banged" with a punch. The alien spun on his own as he was beaten, and Blake pounced on it, but the alien sank into the ground again. Blake's brain began to bulge and swell, he racked his brains, he put his hand deep into the ground, he successfully passed through the ground, and soon he grabbed the nerve endings of the alien, and lifted him upside down, Blake began to kneel the alien's head, he didn't want to be dragged into the spiritual world by this alien again, the alien wanted to kill Blake again and again, which made Blake angry, he continued to kneel until the alien's brain began to flow out, and he seemed to be still angry, He slammed the alien to the ground, Blake jumped in the air, elbowed down, and focused the weight of his body there, and when his elbow hit his head, there was a grunt, and his brain was flattened, and Blake dealt with the horrible guy.

Although he killed this alien, Blake's elbow joint was fractured, killing a thousand enemies and losing three hundred, he groaned on the ground in pain, he didn't have much strength anymore, and at this time another alien came, this alien looked the same race as the previous one, but the body was slightly slender.

The slender alien crumpled the dead one, and then put it into a patterned cube, he gently touched the cube, the cube flew away, he went to touch Blake's joints, Blake immediately stopped hurting, and the bones were naturally connected. He touched the robot Parker again, and Parker restarted and seemed to be repaired.

"Is that cube a coffin?" Blake turned on the translator and asked, "My name is Blake, and I'm here to collect specimens." ”

"Hello Blake, you can call me a Lotus Leaf Walker." The slender alien said, "The one who was one of the more evil of us just now, he has been harming us all along, thank you for helping us solve the crown entanglement, he will not do anything bad in the small coffin now." ”

Blake slowly stood up, "You mean the one who attacked me is called Crown Wind?" ”

Lotus Leaf Walker: "Yes, that guy has been haunting far away, and we used to work together to restrain him with mental power, but you were the one who killed him!" Blake, you're the one who put the final word. ”

Blake: "I've won prizes, and I've stumbled and almost been killed by him." ”

Lotus Leaf Walker: "We want to communicate with you directly, but Crown Entanglement used a memory as a bridge to jump over, he wants to kill you, of course, if you die, then a few of us will not survive." ”

Blake: "You're the only one, how can there be many?" ”

Lotus Leaf Walker: "There will always be an answer to the question, it's just sooner or later, come with me Blake." And you little robot! ”

Blake: "What kind of aliens are you?" ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker floated: "We call ourselves the Undaunts. ”

Blake looked at the other party's floating body with envy: "What type of creature is it?" ”

Lotus Leaf Walker: "We are parasites of the nervous system, and you will see parasites of the reproductive system in a moment." ”

The more Blake listened, the more nonsense he became: "You look a lot like the nervous system, a bit like a human, are we ancestors the same kind?" ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. ”

Blake and Parker come to their settlement. Parker was taken aback by the sight of the parasite of the reproductive system, and Blake was surprised to see these "open" creatures. They seem to be coming together, as if they are going to do something.

Slowly many reproductive parasites and nervous system parasites huddled together, some of them were tall and mighty, some small as dust, each of them was a group, they gathered more and more into a huge diamond shape, they were entangled like a group of snakes, they were caressing each other, and their pleasant sounds could be heard far away

Lotus Leaf Walker: "Please don't be surprised, they are breeding new creatures, and you can communicate with me in the way you want, without verbal communication." ”

Blake said, "Why is the guy who was going to kill me so fierce? ”

"He is one of the evil among us, he is constantly spreading a brain wave signal in our community, this signal is contagious, it will enter our brains, every time we have a spiritual communication, this signal may appear, and then the crown entanglement will start a mental attack to make us very painful, some people are quickly killed by him, of course, this is only one of his many sins." ”

Although Blake was a little uncomfortable, he tentatively thought to the lotus leaf walker: "That brainwave signal turned out to be the fuse?" I was really unfortunate enough to bump into him when I got off the boat. ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker thought to Blake: "The brains of our race are connected many times, and the sudden visit of the crown entanglement is really unexpected, if it weren't for your thoughts, then we would have died several times." ”

Blake struggled to think, "You saw everything when I was thinking deeply?" ”

The lotus leaf walker laughed in his thoughts: "We probably saw what you were thinking deeply, your spiritual power is very strong, and some things are still blocked, we guessed part of it." ”

Blake struggled to think, "Actually, I used drugs, what kind of creatures are you, and what do you live on?" ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker thought: "Trust me, you didn't use any medicine, we are parasites, we will make an agreement with the parasitic, if the parasitic creatures are unwilling to be parasitized for an initial period of time, we will leave their bodies, and once we are completely parasitized, we will live and die with the parasitic creatures." ”

Blake thought, "Your appearance is very similar to our human nervous system, have you ever been to Earth?" ”

The lotus leaf walker thought: "This ...... Well...... Let me look up what happened before. So the lotus leaf walker entwined his body with other people of the same kind, and the efficiency of the nervous system that was reconnected became higher, and he began to think deeply. Soon a reproductive parasite's uterus was swollen very much, she rolled on the ground in pain, and her fellow kind held her, and she gave birth to an embryo, and the blood and embryo were sprayed at Blake's feet, and Blake poked the embryo, and he wondered if it was stillborn. One of the nervous system parasites looked at Blake with an electrocardiogram as if he was the embryo's father, Blake understood what he meant, Blake put the embryo into a transparent sampling container, according to the brain waves of the nervous system parasites, the newborn embryo was alive and did not need gas to breathe, but it was difficult to say exactly when it would wake up. Blake stood and waited for several minutes, Blake looked at the embryo again, this embryo did not look like his parents at all, Blake waited for a while, and he saw that the lotus leaf walker seemed to stop thinking deeply. Blake thought to the Lotus Leaf Walker: "There is a record in the computer hard drive of ancient aliens recovered from the space near Europa that the creatures on Earth were not so intelligent or so hypersexual, they were all mitotic to reproduce, until they later met another floating creature, is this record about you?" Maybe you've been to Earth? ”

"It is true that there was a wave of migration 3.3-3.5 billion years ago, and one of the branches flew to the Milky Way System, which includes the solar system, but this memory is too long, and many parts have been broken. ”

Blake saw the embryo in the bottle drooling, Blake's scalp wrinkled and thought, "Maybe after the creatures of Twisted Banana came to Earth, the creatures of Earth have gained a large variety of reproductive organs, as well as a full brain and stronger neural perception." ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker thought: "We like to form stronger creatures with other lifeforms, and if my ancestors really went to Earth, then the parasitism at that time may have been forced." ”

Blake closed his eyes and tried to think: "That's right, the parasites of the reproductive system and the parasites of the nervous system are completely different [parasites], maybe [universal choice host parasites], you may have reached some kind of agreement with the earth creatures or forced to form a stronger composite life, if this hypothesis about parasitism in the interior of the earth life is true, then Darwin's theory of evolution can only be partially denied again." ”

The lotus leaf walker looked at the embryo and thought: "But there is no way to verify the specific location of that wave of migration, and where it flew to Milky Way, even if you do a DNA test, it is difficult to detect, after all, we will cover up our genetic information after parasitism, just like wiping off fingerprints after killing someone." ”

The Lotus Leaf Walker touched the sampling container containing the embryo in Blake's hand, and then pushed Blake with all his might.

Blake was inexplicably thrown off the ground by the thrust, and he tumbled out of the atmosphere and moved quickly through space before passing through the hull back into the ship. Blake opened his eyes suddenly, his hands were numb, his mouth was dry, his stomach was very uncomfortable, Blake quickly pulled off his helmet and spit on the ground, he vomited for 10 minutes, he vomited the mushy corn and mushy beef he ate, Blake whispered to PDA: "Let Parker come over!" Pressing the keyboard with a trembling hand, he checked the ship records. Parker had already cleaned up the side, and Blake found that he hadn't landed on the ground for so long. Parker said, "You and I are on that planet, but neither of our bodies has made it there. ”

It seems that the robot Parker has gone through all this with himself, there are 20 hours of blank records on the spacecraft, during that time all the data on the instruments, videos, and spaceship sensors are blank, the spacecraft just stopped outside the atmosphere, and various samples were placed on the operating table, as well as bottled embryos, the small embryo twitched in the bottle, and a small hand grabbed forward, it seems that the parasites of the nervous system and the reproductive system have boarded the ship, as for how many times they have been in and out of the spaceship, it is unknown, These samples were left behind by them, and Blake was a good friend.

Seeing all this, Blake had no choice but to sail back, and it would certainly not be a good idea to land in Twisted Banana.
