Chapter 21: Return to Earth
A week later, Yang Shangjin and Liu Shitong and I went to the elevator again, this time the commander-in-chief assigned us a sniper, wearing a jungle camouflage suit and her face covered in ink. We looked at each other for three seconds, and my whole body shuddered, and there was a faint murderous aura in her eyes, which made people shiver all over.
"Hello, my name is Cai Xiangwen, I am from China, a sniper, nicknamed the redback spider."
With that, she turned and walked to the elevator. A few of us shrugged and followed. This time, since I was chosen as the captain, I told them about the basic situation this time.
"This time, instead of taking the elevator, we will go to the hangar to take the spaceship, our spaceship will carry enough food for us to stay on Earth for a month, and our mission on this trip is to detect whether there are cyborgs and other life forms on the earth."
With that, we arrived at the hangar. We drove the Long March 2 slowly towards the earth. This mission is not as tortuous as last time.
We landed in the area designated by the Commander-in-Chief, where the presence of cyborgs was detected, but the signal was not as strong. After we landed, we set up a temporary shelter near the ship, which was actually a large shipping container. Once we had our accommodation arranged, we got to work. First of all, we sampled and tested the air, soil, water, etc., and reported the data to the base, and then carried out a simple exploration and set up a monitoring station, and we completed the first phase of the mission.
On Earth we always seem to feel that we are being watched by someone, but we can't find anyone, either by ourselves or by machine.
A week has passed, and we plan to go a little further afield. Since we had been feeling watched, I asked Liu Shitong and Xiang Shangjin to explore the way in the front, and RedBack and I were on remote alert in the back.
After walking for more than a dozen kilometers, nothing happened, and the redback spider and I followed a few hundred meters behind them. Finally, 20 kilometers from the spacecraft, we were ready to rest for the night.
Looking at the campfire on the ground, I couldn't help but think of the days when I was comfortable on Earth. There was no war, and I lived a carefree life every day, and I had a prepared meal when I got home every day, but now all of this is gone. Alas, the abominable war.
