Chapter 166: Little Guy
Chapter 166 Little Guy
The originally peaceful underground base began to be agitated, due to the detection of the energy fluctuations caused by Xilin's shooting, the defense system that had been dormant in the base was turned on, and the stagnant power system also began to operate, and there were already lights in many places, but they were all warning lights.

A mechanical voice sounded: "Alien threat detected, please enter the password!" ”
", how can there be such a thing as a password!" Takashi shouted.
"The password is incorrect, please re-enter!"
"......" Long was silent and looked at Xilin.
Cillin made a look that I didn't know about. They also didn't expect that in a base that had been buried underground for so many years and had undergone crustal movements, the defense system had not yet been completely paralyzed.
After a moment of silence.
The mechanical voice sounded again: "Again, an external threat has been detected, please enter the password!" ”
Cillin looked at the gray cat, who was crouching there in a daze.
Long fiddled with one of the instruments in his hand, but didn't make a sound.
The mechanical voice sounded for the third time: "No valid password, start executing terminal commands!" ”
"Terminal commands? What terminal commands? Takashi asked.
Cillin suddenly remembered the lab beneath the old slum town, and if all these crazy researchers were alike, it was......
"Get out of here, the base's self-destruct program has started!" Cillin pulled Long and the gray cat and rushed outside.
"Self-destruct?! Rely on it, how can you give it up?! Ryu grumbled as he ran.
"Less nonsense, hurry up, I don't want to be a fossil!" Silin rushed to the front.
"I don't want to!"
The two of them rushed along the same path as if they were flying in a cat, but the passage they came in had already been closed, and Long called up the scanned base distribution map, ready to find other passages.
"There's no time, let your robot dig in place!" Cillin shouted.
"But this is not a passage mouth, the wall is too hard, and it is very time-consuming to dig through, and too much energy will cause collapse!" Takashi said as he gave the digging robot an order, and the truth was exactly as he said.
Because this underground base is more complicated, Takashi didn't bring many robots, only pathfinders and diggers. When the small digging robot is folded like a frisbee, it unfolds several pieces of metal to form an angle and drills away the obstruction in front of it like a drill bit.
However, this underground base has obviously spent a lot of thought, and the walls and other non-passages are reinforced in multiple layers, and high-energy cutting beams must be used to drill through, but time waits for no one.
Looking at the excavation effect of the excavation robot, Xilin said to the gray cat: "Snorr, up!" Hit the striker! ”
Then Takashi saw that the robot was laboriously digging holes in the multi-layered reinforced walls with high-cutting beams, and the cat had drilled a hole in two seconds.
With this hole, it is much easier to expand the opening.
The gray cat strikes the forward to open the hole, and the digging robot works hard behind it to expand the hole, and Xilin and Long climb up the hole.
"What sound?" Takashi asked.
"Sandification."
"Mah!"
Although Takashi thought he couldn't do math, he could calculate that at this rate, they would definitely be sanded in ten seconds.
The good thing is that there aren't too many layers of reinforced walls here, and once the walls are opened, the outside rock and soil layers are much faster.
The latter kind of rattlesnake is much more urgent than a rattlesnake, and there are still five, four, three seconds......
It's OK to get out!
At the moment of rushing out of the ground, the two quickly launched a flying slide and jumped up, and Xilin picked up the gray cat and stepped on the flying slide to fly into the distance.
The next second the two of them left the ground, the hole they rushed out of the ground had already been sandified, and the sand was still extending around.
"Scared, scared me to death! Go to his underground base, it's dangerous......"
Before Long could finish venting his emotions, there was a loud bang, and the expanding air wave directly lifted the two sliding slides in the air that had not flown too far away.
Bang, bang, Xilin and Long fell to the ground one after another.
"Phew! Bah! Long spat out the sand in his mouth, and now he didn't have time to complain, his mouth was full of sand.
Both of them were covered in dust and sand, and they were in a state of embarrassment.
"Those crazy people did a really good job, I always thought that they would save this base when they had a chance to revisit the old place, but I didn't expect it to be directly desertified, plus a big explosion......"
Cillin glanced at Long, at this time, this guy could still chatter so energetically.
Recalling the scene I saw inside the base, the last few cages in the place where the test subjects were held were empty, which meant that the important test subjects had already been transferred or had already escaped, and the remaining ones were abandoned and had no ability to escape.
As for the most precious test subjects, the researchers will not let their results go to waste, how can they not take away what they have worked out with great difficulty.
", it's too short a time to get the news." Takashi looked at the information displayed in his hand and said regretfully. When the protection system was turned on, the instrument in Long's hand took the opportunity to hack into the system to steal useful information, but the final result was not good.
Cillin leaned sideways to hold up the gray cat's head, and the cat's eyes flashed obviously.
Tsk, still don't lie like that.
Cillin lifted his eyelids and stopped looking at the gray cat.
It seems that when the protection system and other power facilities were automatically turned on, the gray cat also took the opportunity to enter those systems to steal some information, and the harvest was not small, much faster than Long's instrument, but the information obtained was quite a big blow to the gray cat, and the molecular biochemical experiments carried out with animals and humans were too terrifying for the gray cat.
Xilin stood up and kicked Long, who was sitting on the ground with his legs spread out and sighing: "Let's go, don't sit here, maybe there will be some follow-up trouble." ”
"It seems that there is nothing left, then let's go back to the starship." Long summoned the news from the robots everywhere, several important sampling points had been processed, some fossils had been selectively dug up, and there was enough space on the aircraft to put these things.
Xilin nodded, but after taking a few steps, Xilin stopped again and saw the gray cat looking around.
"What's wrong?" Cillin asked.
"Something is watching us." The gray cat looked in one direction.
It's normal to have some beasts around, as long as they don't attack them, they won't deliberately hunt them. Most of these beasts are modified creatures, and the original genes have long been modified, and if they are used as food, they are not strictly qualified, so Xilin and Long have no intention of actively hunting and killing them for the time being.
However, when Cillin looked in the direction the gray cat was looking, he saw a small half of his face.
Yes, face.
A young face.
It's almost the same as a human, but his face is so gray that he can't see what it looks like. A pinch of red hair on the head is very conspicuous.
Now Takashi saw it, and the guy was hiding behind the rocks of a low mountain not far away, revealing the upper half of his face. With curiosity in his eyes.
Seeing that the three pairs of eyes were all looking at him, the guy hiding behind the stone shrank his head and retracted his head, but after a few seconds, he poked out again.
"Hey, little one, where are you from?" Cillin asked.
It seemed that the owner who sensed the three pairs of eyes was not malicious, and the guy slowly walked out...... It should be regarded as walking, walking out with both hands and feet, on all fours. The ears were pointed, the edges were still hairy, and behind him, there was a tail, which was flicked, as if to show that he had no ill intentions.
Xilin and Long glanced at each other. Hell Guard Dogs!
But how could there be such a small one? Could it be that they were born of those hellguard dogs who were abandoned here?
You know, the genetically good ones were taken away with those research institutes when they left, and those who stayed were slightly inferior, but looking at this little guy, if you look at it from the perspective of the experiment, it seems to be quite successful. It's like a baby with B-grade genes and B-grade genes in human beings who give birth to an A-grade gene.
This little guy has some wounds on his body, the wounds are very fresh, and he is still bleeding, and looking at the sand attached to it, it should have been injured by the explosion just now.
Cillin took out a bag of jerky, tore a small opening, and threw it over. If you walk straight over, this little guy will definitely escape.
Suddenly, an unknown object was thrown over, and the little guy trembled and took a few steps back, but he was soon attracted by the aroma of the jerky, and carefully leaned over to sniff it, and thought it was okay, so he ate the unopened jerky in one bite.
Ryu watched as this guy, who should have been a six- or seven-year-old child by human standards, directly chewed the whole bag of unopened jerky and swallowed it in two bites, and suddenly felt a little tight in his throat.
What kind of monster construct is this guy's esophagus?
After eating the jerky, the little guy licked his mouth, still unsatisfied, his eyes looked at Xilin brightly, and the tail behind him flicked again, which was larger than just now.
Xilin was about to throw another bag of jerky to him, but the little guy's eyes suddenly changed, from innocent and harmless to murderous, and at that moment, Xilin and Long clearly felt the strong killing intent.
Burst!
The little guy stretched out more than ten centimeters of claws on his hand, and rushed to one place with his feet.
Running like a beast with both hands and feet, and a low roar in his throat, at this moment, he was really the guard dog of this "hell".
Takashi retrieved an image from an aerial probe, in which the little guy rushed towards a lion-like beast more than ten meters tall.
The speed and the intensity of the attack were completely different from what they had just been.
"This is the 'Cerberus', even if it's just a hatchling. They are friendly to creatures other than their prey, and do not actively attack, only when facing their prey, they will behave like this. "My old man said that Cerberus is a kind of slave that is deeply rooted in the genes, whether it is them or their descendants, they are full of servility, they will always remember what their master says, and will never think for themselves. Even if they still look like people, in them, humanity has disappeared. ”
Cerberus, even their offspring, are implanted with that command in their bones, like a kind of nature, a certain memory of the previous generation is completely reproduced, remembering the breath of those prey that need to be hunted, derived from the breath of the prey's genes, from birth to death, hunting for the rest of their lives.
"Let's go," Long patted Xilin on the shoulder, "This planet is just an example of the entire S star sector, there are thousands of similar planets, not only the S star sector, but also in other star regions, there are many places where such experiments are conducted." ”
Of course, Long's Xilin knew that wasn't that the underground research room of brown Saturn? A place that has not been known to people for decades, if it weren't for Xilin's accidental intrusion, the darkness would still be there.
Long was too lazy to take samples himself, and the robots sent out had already been dealt with, especially in places with plenty of water such as lakes, which were the focus areas.
When Xilin and Takashi stepped on the flying slide and came to the flying machine, the robots sent by Long were moving the collected things to the aircraft, and they also took good care of some large skeletons, which was much more reliable than Long himself, which should be one of the reasons why his father sent so many robots to accompany him.
"The wind is blowing." Takashi looked at the gray sky, "There is such a wind in this place, maybe there will be a storm." Get out of here, I don't want to go through the storm of hell. ”
Takashi sat in the control room of the aircraft and ordered the robot to speed up, waiting for the last few samples to be loaded and take off immediately.
Cillin stood outside the aircraft, not staying in the control room of the aircraft as he did. Looking down from here, you can see the changes in the area, the changes in the early stage of the storm, the air pressure and humidity have changed significantly, and the animals are starting to get restless and find shelter.
Suddenly, a small shadow appeared in Xilin's field of vision, which was not as active as before, and the speed was much slower.
There were wounds all over his body, one of his hind legs was twisted and supported on the ground, and his arms were also scarred to varying degrees, trembling and unstable when he was propped up on the ground.
He limped to Xilin's side, and his tail drooped behind him looking very pitiful.
"Xilin, let's go!" Ryu shouted from inside the aircraft. Everything was moved, and Takashi couldn't wait to leave this place immediately, and he felt uncomfortable staying here.
The gray cat leaned forward and hesitated, "Do you want to help him?" ”
Xilin shook his head, "Don't go over," turned his head to look at the little figure, stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers, and shouted, "I'll count five, if you can come over, I'll take you away!" ”
Cillin felt that the little guy could understand what he meant. According to the little guy's current ability, the time calculated by Xilin is just right, and if he can't reach it on time if he hesitates at all, in that case, Xilin will definitely turn around and leave.
But happily, the little guy quickened his pace after Xilin finished speaking, his eyes were bright, and behind him, the blood from the wound dripped all the way, and was soon buried by the dust blown by the growing wind.
The small figure swayed from side to side in the wind, but its steps were firm, straight to this side, without slowing down.
Takashi looked at the scene outside through the screen on the aircraft, and mobilized the footage taken by the probe, the lion-like beast that the little guy had rushed to hunt had now been torn off a thick layer of flesh and lay there silently, being served as a meal before the storm by the weaker other carnivores.
Yes, as long as the Cerberus is dispatched, it will either die or the prey will die.
Takashi compared it with his hand to the small figure shown on the screen, it was so small.
But why did that little guy chase after him?
However, looking at this little guy's injury, if no one helps him, plus this storm, it is estimated that he will not be able to survive it.
The little guy watched as Cillin's five outstretched fingers turned into four, then three, and two......
Hurry up, hurry up!
It's hard for an adult to survive such an injury, right?
When Sirin put the last finger down, the little one threw himself on the ground in front of Sirin, but with a smile on his face, revealing two fangs.
Speaking of the little guy, Sirin and the gray cat jumped on the flying machine.
"Hurry up, the storm is coming!"
"Urging your sister, now you know how to hurry?!" Takashi motioned for the robot to steer the aircraft to take off and quickly leave.
As the aircraft flew higher and higher, the scenery on the ground began to be obscured by gray again, but the circle of storm with that look was obvious, after rushing out of the planet, looking at the lightning and thunder in the gray clouds below, Long called up the images taken by the probe who had not yet flown out of it.
Hell on earth, no, hell within hell.
The earth shook and the earth shook, and a giant tornado spiraling down from the sky tore apart a mountain that had been erected, and at this time, the earth's crust began to move.
Those who survived such a catastrophe are only worthy of admiration. Whether it is those seemingly weak animals or those huge beasts, those who survive are the capable and the victorious.
There is no right or wrong way to survive.
When he was on the aircraft, Xilin briefly treated the little guy's wound, and after returning to the starship, he re-cared for it, after all, the medicine on the starship was relatively complete.
However, looking at the recovery of this little guy's wound, he can survive with a little strength. After treating the wound and giving him a nutrient solution, the little guy was allowed to rest here. As long as the nutrition keeps up, it is estimated that the physique of this beast will recover soon.
The little guy was lying on his side on the hospital table, and the broken leg was still unable to move after repairing, while the little guy was bending his arms and resting his head on them, looking at the scene around him with a pair of eyes. The gray cat walking around in front of him attracted the attention of the little one.
After walking around the little guy on the sick table twice, the gray cat leaned in and sniffed, shaking his beard: "A smell of dogs." ”
The little guy whined twice, and I don't know if he understood.
Probably because he was too tired, but now that he was relaxed, the little one quickly fell asleep, and the gray cat yawned when he saw this, raised his paws to scoop up the little one's fluffy tail, formed a circle around him, and squinted his eyes to sleep.
When Sirin returned to the control room after treating the little guy's wounds, Takashi was staring straight at the screen with a frown.
Seeing Xilin coming in, Long raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Handled it?" ”
"Hmm. What are you looking at? Xilin pointed to the gibberish on the screen and said.
"A transmission code just intercepted, composed of ciphers, the parsing system didn't solve anything, and the result was this full screen of garbled characters, which gave me a headache."
"Bring up the original code, I'll try."
Takashi gave up his seat, restored the transmission code, and stood by expectantly.
Five minutes later, Cillin and Takashi were silent as they looked at the big butterfly image on the screen.
