After explaining everything, Zhou Xin finally had time to take a closer look at the two people lying in the escape pod. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The height of those two people was very short, the tall alien was only about one meter two, and the short one was probably only one meter, and when they snuggled up tightly together, there was still a lot of space at one end of the escape pod. Now, they have been separated by the medical robots, and since the beds will not be transported to the isolation pod for a while, they can only keep their feet touching and temporarily squeeze into the two ends of the escape pod. Each person also had a hanging bottle attached to the back of their hand, and according to Wren, their bodies were now very weak, and a dose of emergency nutrition was not enough, and they needed to slowly replenish some other necessary substances for the body. In their other hand, a device was attached to monitor their physical condition, but there were only a few lines on the device that could display the data, and most of the items were displayed with the word "unrecognizable".

Both of them are now dressed very thinly, wearing an off-white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and a pair of blue-gray shorts on the lower body. There were no other decorations or patterns on their clothes, only a few patches that were not too big or small, and the quality of the clothes themselves was extremely bad, and Zhou Xin could still see that there were a lot of loose threads on the corners, as for the materials used to make the clothes, this Zhou Xin couldn't see it.

As for the two aliens, they looked even thinner than the two alien corpses that Zhou Xin had seen before. Not to mention that their height is obviously shorter, their body shape can already be described as skinny in Zhou Xin's opinion, under the thin skin, all the bones are exposed, Zhou Xin doesn't know if their body shape is due to malnutrition or if their race is born like this.

In addition to the obviously thin and unshapeable body shape, the most obvious feature of their bodies is their skin color, for some reason, the skin color of the two of them is actually pink, and it looks like a human newborn baby. When he saw this skin color, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and then he remembered the contents of the diary, and he finally understood the origin of the derogatory name "red-skinned monkey".

The body proportions of these two aliens are about the same as those of humans, which makes Zhou Xin look very pleasing to the eye, and when he looks closer, the facial features on their faces are also very well-proportioned, and they still have short hair that reaches up to their ears, giving people a feeling of clear eyebrows, and Zhou Xin can't identify their gender for a while.

"What is the gender of the two of them—?" Looking at their faces, Zhou Xin subconsciously asked this question.

"It's not clear for the time being, the medical robot only conducted a preliminary physical examination on them, and the rest of the examination will be discussed later." Atlas replied.

Zhou Xin nodded, and then continued to observe the two aliens, their arms were very thin, almost half the size of Zhou Xin, even if they were wrapped in skin, they looked like a bone stick. Their palms are also very small, with five slender fingers on them, the only difference that they are different from humans is that the tips of their fingers are not covered with protective nails, and the skin on their fingers is pale, which looks almost the same as onion white. After looking at the fingers, Zhou Xin subconsciously glanced at their feet, they didn't wear any shoes on their feet, but they put on a layer of socks similar to the clothing on their bodies, judging from the appearance of the socks, the structure of his feet is estimated to be similar to that of humans.

After looking at the two aliens, Zhou Xin said to the others in the command cabin: "Judging from the appearance, you can indeed see the difference between them and the two aliens before, could it be that they are really two different species?" ”

Most of the people in the command cabin nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a while, Spred said: "I think it's too early to make a conclusion, there are many cases on our planet where the same species differentiates into different shapes in order to adapt to the environment due to different environments. This situation cannot be technically regarded as two different species, but only a subspecies of the same species, and perhaps this is also the case with aliens on this planet, isn't there no such phenomenon on your planet? ”

"Yes, yes, even we humans are divided into several subspecies so far, but-" Zhou Xin glanced at the aliens on the screen again, "but the difference between their appearance is a little bigger." Speaking of this, Zhou Xin stopped, and after a while, he spoke, "Forget it, guess what to do, just wait for Atlas to come to an analytical conclusion." ”

At this time, several engineering robots came to the isolation cabin with tools, and it looked like they were about to start renovating the room. Looking at the robot's movements, Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then instructed the medical robot who was observing the situation of the aliens at all times: "Always monitor the condition of these two people, and notify me in time once they wake up." After getting a response from the robot, he temporarily shut down the scene of the place.

Putting the matter of the survivors aside, Zhou Xin instructed Atlas: "Atlas, although two survivors have been found now, you must not relax, the search for survivors must continue until you find the last escape pod you can trace." ”

"Got it." Atlas replied, "Until now, people were still searching for escape pods. ”

"Good." Zhou Xin nodded, and then asked, "What about the spaceships, are they still searching for survivors?" ”

"Just a few minutes ago, they suddenly stopped."

"Stopped?" Zhou Xin was a little confused, and he asked Atlas to switch the camera to the ships searching for the escape pod. On the screen, the ships were standing silently, even the flames of their tail engines had been extinguished, and only a small number of lights were left on the ships that were emitting a faint glow.

Looking at the several spaceships on the screen, Zhou Xin said to himself suspiciously, "What exactly do they want to do?" Suddenly, an object flew in at high speed from off-screen, "What's that?" Zhou Xin asked.

"It looks like an escape pod." Atlas's tone was also a little uncertain, and on the screen, the probe zoomed in on the camera at the high-speed flying object, "It's really an escape pod!" Atlas cried out in surprise, paused for a moment, and said in a tone of surprise, "This escape pod isn't one of the escape pods that people have tracked before, and it still seems to be in good condition." But then her tone became regretful, "It's a pity that its flight path is close to those ships, and at this distance, the probability of the probe being discovered by them is too great, and people don't dare to take this risk." ”

"In that case, forget it." Zhou Xin thought about it, and finally decided to give up, now that he had found two survivors, he no longer had a very urgent need for this, and at the same time, he was not ready to appear in front of this civilization. But just as he said what he was going to do, something strange happened.

The ships did not react to the escape pods approaching them, they remained silent, not even sending out the aircraft, but allowing the pod to continue to approach.

At this time, Atlas reported a new situation: "Brother Captain, the probe has found that the communication between the ships has become more frequent, and the amount of information exchanged between them has tripled before. They also seem to have been communicating with the ships in the core of the wreckage for a short time. ”

"Can you know the details of the communication between them?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Not yet." Atlas's tone was a little helpless, "The communication protocol used between them is different from the two forces on the planet, and the encryption mode is also very strange, and people are now trying to find a way to crack their communication pattern." ”

At this time, the escape pod that accidentally flew into the camera had reached the closest position to the opposing fleet, but the ships still did not react to the escape pod, and they were still communicating with each other frequently, occasionally sending communication signals to the core area of the wreckage. The escape pod wasn't going to wait there, and he continued to fly forward, and now the distance between it and the ship had begun to widen, heading in the direction of the probe.

"Brother Captain, those ships don't seem to be paying attention to that escape pod." Atlas immediately noticed this, "Do you want the probe to bring it back?" ”

"Wait a little longer." At this time, Zhou Xin seemed a little cautious, "Wait until the escape pod is far enough away from the spacecraft before going." ”

After a few moments, the escape pod had flown between the ship and the probe, and the ships were still in the same motionless way as before. Before Zhou Xin's order, Atlas couldn't wait for the probe to set off. At the fastest speed, the probe approached the escape pod, and without bothering to check the situation of the escape pod, Atlas directly asked the probe to push the escape pod back to the Voyager, and it took less than ten minutes from the probe to the start of pushing back the escape pod.

"That's how you brought back that escape pod before?" Seeing her control the detector so quickly, Zhou Xin remembered the sentence that Atlas had mentioned before, and he asked curiously.

"That escape pod, that's a lot more thrilling than this." Atlas replied, "The previous escape pod was flying in the direction of the spaceship, and it was difficult for someone to intercept the escape pod before it entered the spaceship's warning range. If we had slowed down, the escape pod wouldn't have belonged to us. ”

"That's a lot of hard work." Zhou Xin said to Atlas.

"It's not hard." Atlas replied with a big grin, "People think it's fun, how exciting it is to get the escape pod back under the noses of others." ”

"......" Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin was suddenly a little speechless, and was silent for a while, he directly shifted his attention to the spaceships that were still not moving.

At this time, another probe had already arrived near the spacecraft, taking over the monitoring of the previous probe, and the figures of those spaceships appeared on the screen again.

"How's the ship doing now?" Zhou Xin asked Atlas.

"It's the same as before, except for the frequent exchange of information."

With a puzzled expression, Zhou Xin looked at the stationary spaceships on the screen, but not long after Atlas finished reporting, the spaceships finally ended their silence and began to act again.

In just a dozen seconds, the ship's engines restarted, and their tails reappeared with blue fire. Then, almost simultaneously, the ships began to turn widely, and after a nearly ninety-degree turn, all of them began to accelerate away from their previous positions.

"Where are they going?" Looking at the spacecraft with almost its tail facing the probe, Zhou Xin asked curiously.

Based on the current orientation of the ships, their next destination appears to be the core area of the wreckage.

"The core of the wreckage? Aren't there already a couple of ships there? What else do they go there for? And these ships have so decisively abandoned their current mission, is there any emergency that needs to be dealt with? Zhou Xin asked a series of questions as if he were speaking to himself.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Voyager, "Is the probe still monitoring the movements of those ships at the core of the wreckage?" What are they doing today? ”

"The alien ships in the wreckage area still show no signs of movement." The Voyager replied, "And the ship's long observation has revealed that one of those ships seems to have lost power. ”

"Out of steam?" Zhou Xin asked, "How do you see it?" ”

At this time, the screen switched to the core area of the wreckage, and the spaceships were still quietly parked there, but Zhou Xin also saw something strange from the screen at this time. All the spaceships seemed to be surrounding a spaceship in a guarded posture, and after looking at it for a while, Zhou Xin found that the peripheral spaceships occasionally moved in a small area, but the spaceship in the middle was completely motionless, and the peripheral spaceships would also take the initiative to clean up all kinds of wreckage and debris that flew to the middle spacecraft from time to time.

"Didn't the ship in the middle never move?" Zhou Xin asked.

"The ship hasn't moved since they stayed here, so the ship wonders if there's something wrong with the ship's power system." The Voyager replied.

"Is that really the case?" Looking at the strange flotilla on the screen, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought......
