"In other words, it was incubated from the inside from the start!"

As a technician who has been working with these machines for a long time, the man with glasses knows better than anyone what it means.

He thought of the only answer, but the long-term trust made him unable to believe it was true.

He became more and more agitated, clawing frantically at his scalp.

Seeing that his mood was not quite right, Lin Ling stepped forward directly and pressed the person's shoulder, "Calm down, does this mean anything?" ”

"......" The man with glasses looked up and saw Lin Ling's pitch-black mask, and an anxious face was reflected in the reflective material.

Feeling the gaze coming from behind his visor, he suddenly calmed down, looked at his fingers with a little blood, and sighed.

"This means that the console is from the factory, from the time the planetary fortress is built...... Alien eggs are already waiting to hatch inside. ”

At this moment, everyone froze in place, and their eyes fell on the man with glasses.

"Wait...... It can't be, right? One of the technicians asked, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"What's impossible?" He held up a bloodshot fragment of the machine and asked the others, "This machine motherboard has been closed since the factory and it is impossible to open at all, you tell me who can stuff a two-fist-sized alien egg into it?!" ”

"Calm down."

Seeing that this person's emotions were a little out of control, Lin Ling once again reached out and pressed the other party's shoulder to prevent him from rushing directly.

"I'll come back to that later, it's mainly about energy supply now, and don't forget that you're not the only one alive."

Lin Ling pressed the man's shoulder hard, and gradually let go of her hand after feeling the other party's pulse gradually calming down.

The man turned to look at her, his slightly pale face with a hint of collapse.

He opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything before he lowered his head and picked up the tool.

After that, he was picked up by Linling.

"You take a break." As she spoke, Lin Ling patted the person on the shoulder and walked towards the central system in the center of the room.

The prism, which runs perpendicular to the floor from the ceiling, is part of the backbone of the central system.

The man watched her back as she left, and eventually collapsed on the ground, covering his cheeks.

"Thank you." An almost inaudible sound came out of his mouth.

Lin Ling heard it, but she didn't look back, but walked straight to the other eight people, thinking about the previous battle in her mind.

She vaguely remembered the words of the man in white.

Although the other party's remarks are very strange, it can't change some of the problems it exposes.

One of them is the phrase "Detonate the eggs that have been placed in the center at the right time." ”。

Because the situation was so urgent at that time, she didn't even think about the specific meaning, so that now, after the reaction of the man with glasses, she suddenly realized the intention of the representative behind it.

If the memory of the original owner is correct, this entire planetary fortress was rumored to have been built for the Eastern Star Domain at the beginning of its construction thirty years ago, and this is indeed the case.

So think about it......

I'm afraid that thirty years ago, this mastermind behind the scenes began to lay out against the alliance's defense line?

And this kind of behavior of directly putting the alien egg in the motherboard, if you guess correctly, it is possible that the mastermind behind this scene is still involved in the construction of the planetary fortress?

[Ding - Temporary Quest Completion Tips]

[Host, you have found some clues about the mastermind and dismantled their plan to destroy the planetary fortress, and your temporary mission has been completed.] ]

[The Gene Blender has been distributed to the system warehouse.] Please use it properly with the host. ]

[Hint: Please refrain from dropping unidentified contaminants on living organisms without permission, or you will be dealt with with as a punitive task.] ]

The sudden sound made Linling almost slip the tool in her hand, and it was only then that she remembered that she still had a temporary task.

[Host, why do I have an extra bottle in my warehouse?] 】

The system, who was helping to pry open the shell of the central system, was suddenly stunned and asked in Lin Ling's mind.

Lin Ling was a little surprised, "Didn't you hear the prompt sound just now?" ”

【…… I thought I heard it, but I didn't pay attention, hehe. 】

Recalling the words that had just popped up, the system reacted and continued to help the technician pry open the shell.

This made Lin Ling secretly roll her eyes.

She walked up to these people, and after seeing that these people with thin arms and legs had wasted their strength for a long time and did not pry open a corner, she patted them on the shoulder and motioned for her to come.

"No, this place is already stuck, can't hit ......"

"Click-"

"What did you say?" Lin Ling looked at the people around her with a half-cut metal shell.

The technician looked at what was in her hand, then at the half-shelled panel, swallowed and shook his head, "No, you continue." ”

Everyone wisely pushed back and distanced themselves from Linling.

They don't want to get hit by a screw while making repairs.

Lin Ling frowned and looked at the actions of these people, once again feeling puzzled.

The system on the side shook its "head" and sighed, continuing to use its mechanical tentacles to pull open the central system's shell.

provoked Lin Ling to have an urge to shoot this cub from the air.

But she held back, taking a secret breath, removing the few remaining panels and looking at the technician.

I saw them take out the dense instruments from the toolbox and connect them to each other, and then insert the interface into the groove exposed by the central system.

Suddenly, the ground, which was originally only full of rotten flesh and blood, was now covered with data cables.

"Let's go down and debug the rest of the central system before we can open the background, and when the time comes, please help us take a look here, and notify us if there is any abnormality."

They said to Lin Ling.

After receiving Lin Ling's nod and promise, they took a long list of data and prepared to act.

As the central system for the management of the planetary fortress, it is impossible to be only so small, in fact, the entire central room, including the main pillar with its own elevator standing in the core area, is the complete appearance of the central system.

It was precisely because Lin Ling knew this that she did not raise doubts about their actions.

The man with glasses sitting at the door also saw this scene, gritted his teeth, and stood up to act together.

[Are you okay?] 】

The system looked at this person's bad state and subconsciously asked.

The man with glasses looked up and saw that the system was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "I can still persevere, I can't do nothing alone." ”

He said, and reluctantly patted the system's little head, and set off with his colleagues.

[But it looks reluctant.] 】

The system muttered, and then felt the sensation of being slapped on the head again.

It turned to look up, and Lin Ling was standing beside it.

"Alright, the man is gone." Lin Ling said to the system, keeping her eyes fixed on the gradually descending platform, "You can start moving." ”

【Good!】 】
