[Chapter 559: Devil's Lair]

"It's here! We're here! β
"We've landed on Mars?"
"That's right, that's right! Jackson, we're on Mars alive! We are the new legends!! β
"Haha!!"
After a burst of excitement, the two astronauts quickly sent the news back to the "Noah" running in high-altitude orbit, and the whole "Noah" cheered again, and immediately sent a text message to the earth impatiently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
In the "Orion" spacecraft, the two landed astronauts had already left the driver's seat and checked the spacesuit repeatedly to confirm that there was no problem, and then they were ready to leave the capsule.
Walk at the forefront of Skovo. Audran was about to open the hatch when he suddenly stopped, turned to look at his partner, and asked, "Jackson, will everything I say next go down in history?" β
"Uh...... I guess so. The partner held a camera in his hand and adjusted, and when he was about to focus on Skovo, the latter hurriedly covered up: "Wait a minute, oh shit, where are the lines?" β
"What's the line?" Jackson said suspiciously.
"Nonsense, of course it's a line that will go down in history, no one told me the line, what should I say?" Skovo was furious: "God! Did they forget to prepare their lines? Hurry up and contact Noah. β
"Oh oh......" Jackson hurriedly sent out a communication, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No~!" β
βwhatοΌ No? Are you sure not? β
"I'm sure, old man, we're consuming oxygen every minute and every second, so don't waste time, just play on the spot and say whatever you want, and you're going to go down in history anyway. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't have to take the blame for your stupid words, hehe. β
"Oh no, God forbid, or that old Charles guy will kill me when I go back."
Jackson shook his head helplessly and pointed the camera at his partner, Skovo took a deep breath, and finally opened the hatch, at this moment the Pezos Heights is upright day, the face of Mars suddenly comes into view, this is a world of iron oxide, the earth is a red world, in the video, Skovo carefully grabbed the outer bar and walked down the 7 steps step by step, when he stepped on the penultimate ladder.
With a slight leap, the whole person jumped on the red ground, and Jackson carried the camera to record this historic moment with his jerky shooting technique. As Oldland took his first steps, a historic footprint appeared.
Finally, the camera was pointed at Skovo. Oldland, seeing him plant an American flag on the ground, then looked directly at the camera: "This is Mars, here we are." I will be the first human to leave footprints on Mars, the first to plant a flag on Mars, the first to touch the Martian air, the first to walk, run, sit, and eat on Mars...... Whatever I do next, I'm the first person ever. Armstrong, I officially declare that I am above you. To all the pioneers and travelers of mankind, we are all legends! β
With Mars in the background, Skovo stares straight into the camera and freezes it, and Jackson puts away the camera and returns to the spacecraft for backup, which will become one of the most significant videos in human history.
Standing on the Martian land for the first time, Scovo looked around, his eyes wandered around the Martian skyline and the entire land, and also wandered near the spacecraft, the scenery of the Pezos Heights came into view, in front of the left was a small plateau, the slope angle was more than 30 degrees, he soon saw that there were several large caves on the slope, varying diameters, but all large, he knew that there was originally a volcano in the Pezos Heights, but the Pezos Volcano had ceased activity 200 million years ago.
Those caves must have been the lava tunnels that had been, he guessed in his heart.
"This is 'Noah', call 'Orion'!"
"I'm Skovo, Roger."
"The first batch of supplies will be delivered in 40 minutes, about 11 kilometers from the landing site, and the coordinates are roughly ......"
"Roger. Jackson, I'm going to get the rover off the spacecraft, and then I'm busy. β
Skovo said and walked towards the ship, and after a few steps, he suddenly kicked something under his foot and stopped him, he looked down slightly at his left foot, he swept the red dust with his foot, and a snow-white smooth object appeared in the field of vision, which stood out against the monotonous red soil. Skovo crouched down and threw the dirt slowly along the white object with his hand, which grew bigger and bigger......
Skovo looked at the white object in front of him, his eyes became more and more incredible, and even a look of horror, he muttered to himself, "Bone-like things? Biological bones? β
Muttered a sentence and began to throw the soil along the white object in a frenzy, which was more than 1.5 meters exposed, but it was still not there, the bones in front of him were like the spine bones of snakes, Skovo's breathing became rapid, he was not from archaeology, if this was really a skeleton left by a creature, it would definitely subvert his worldview. Mars, there are not only living beings, but also large living beings, but what shocked him even more was if the object in front of him was really a biological skeleton......
That would mean that there are still living creatures on Mars, not in ancient times, but now, now!!
Because the skeleton is not petrified, it has not become a fossil, which does not require instrumental analysis at all!
"Hey man, what are you doing? Do you want me to take the rover down by myself? β
Skevo ignored his partner, he stood up again and looked at the skeleton on the red soil in front of him, he had basically thrown away the soil layer, and the Senbai skeleton with a length of more than 3 meters was lying quietly on the red soil layer, "You'd better take a look at this!" He said to his partner on the communicator.
The complaining partner saw the image transmitted back from Skovo's perspective, and at that moment, Jackson was also stunned, and after a long time, he said in a daze: "This is ......"
"If nothing else...... Martian creatures! A Martian creature that has not been dead for a long time, from the color and texture of the bones, it can be preliminarily judged that it should die in about three years, maybe longer, or shorter, but it will not fluctuate much, and it does not have any petrification phenomenon. β
"This ......"
"Quick! Send this video back to the Noah. Don't worry about it here for the time being, hurry up and unload the rover, drag the supplies back, and wait for Houston's instructions after the outpost base is built! Skovo said as he strode away.
Ten minutes later, the Martian vehicle carried the two of them towards the material landing site, leaving the intact white skeleton exposed.
What they didn't know was that the chosen landing site was a devil's lair, and they didn't know that it was the time when these Martian creatures were in the midst of a new round of mating and breeding, which meant the official time when Martian creatures were most active.
Deep underground in the Pezos Heights, creatures are waking up from a long period of dormancy, eating the fermentation that has accumulated over a long period of time during the long "facultative anaerobic dormancy" period, and in doing so, they are the first sources of energy for physical activity, and the next 30 to 50 days of mating is the most active time of the cycle.
Only the most ferocious, cruel, and bloodthirsty of the strongest, who take out and eat their opponents, can win it all and survive in an extremely amalt, food-starved Martian environment.
Unbeknownst to these visitors from Earth, there are thousands of natives of natives under their feet who have been dormant for hundreds of millions of years, and are waking up from their slumber one by one......
