Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dusty Hope

A gray crystal jungle, a man and a woman quickly shuttled between the crystal jungle, the exploration team was far behind them, and the explosions of electromagnetic machine guns and shells could still be faintly heard. www.biquge.info This gray crystal jungle is much more dangerous than Eugene's, the basilisk is just a cannon fodder-level monster, and even the cannon fodder-level basilisk electromagnetic rifle doesn't have much effect on their hard scales. Here, the only weapons that can be used are individual electromagnetic cannons and energy guns. If it weren't for the gunboats above constantly providing fire support to the soldiers below, it would be a question of whether they could protect themselves in the crystal jungle.

"It was a mistake to let her come here!" Zhuge Wushuang looked at the beautiful and thin figure in front of him, and said in pieces. After separating from Chen Peilin, Zhuge Wushuang excitedly ran to Lu Yingying's laboratory, but he was closed, and finally waited for Lu Yingying to come out, but was ignored by Lu Yingying. Fortunately, at this time, the good news of Jack's company came, and Zhuge Wushuang used the news of the crystal plant to lure Lu Yingying there. Lu Yingying, who didn't mince about anything, finally became interested after seeing the news, and rushed directly to the landing craft, without striving for Chen Peilin and his opinion at all, or under the persuasion of Zhuge Wushuang's aunt and grandmother, Lu Yingying reluctantly followed Zhuge Wushuang to Chen Peilin to get the equipment.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the space in front of Lu Yingying rippled like water waves, and then a bull monster with a body like a cow but a faint gray light lying straight in front of Lu Yingying. For this, Zhuge Wushuang is no longer surprised. I don't know how many monsters I encountered along the way, you must know that Zhuge Wushuang is wearing a single protective suit equipped with a space shield of the highest level of seventh-level civilization. Because of the limited consumption of scarce resources, there was not a large amount of equipment even during the most prosperous time of the Galactic Alliance, and this kind of special equipment was mainly used to protect the personal safety of high-level dignitaries, and only one of the most elite special forces of the Federation was equipped. Chen Peilin: They don't have the ability to make this kind of equipment at all now, and the dozen or so existing space shields were brought by Natalie. It was precisely because of the protection of the space shield that they were able to get here along the way, otherwise that bull monster alone would be enough for a whole company plus two gunboats to fight for a long time. Because this kind of bull monster has grown in the crystal jungle for a long time, it feeds on energy crystals, and its body is extremely strong, not to mention that it also has a high resistance to energy weapons, that is, the space vibration just now shocked it to death.

"I said you can't slow down, so let's wait for the troops behind. How good it is to walk in the transparent crystal jungle, it is much safer to explore over there, and the pink one is fine, look at this jungle, the color is dim, it is obviously a situation where the energy is too high, and the creatures inside are also so fierce. Zhuge Wushuang stepped forward and began to persuade his mother-in-law again.

"You don't have to come!" Lu Yingying replied coldly, then stopped speaking and continued to walk forward.

The crystal jungle behind is getting denser and denser, some crystals have a diameter of five or six meters and a height of thirty or forty meters, and the branches are luxuriant, it is simply a huge crystal tree, and there are not a few such crystal trees, this area is full of such crystal trees, and the crystal trees behind are even taller and thicker, until the mysterious building is completely covered. After an unknown number of monster attacks, the two finally made their way through the jungle to this mysterious building.

The gray tone, the all-metal texture, the thick dust almost completely covered everything near the ground, the building was deserted, it could be seen that no one had existed for a long time, the two tall and thick metal doors were ajar, and the thick dust adhered along one side of the door, and when I got closer, I felt a gust of wind blowing, as if something terrible had happened inside.

Lu Yingying stepped forward and pushed open the door, and the two of them immediately entered the building, which was a vaulted hall, surrounded by four long corridors, leading to four directions, feeling that someone had entered, and the corridor in one of the passages lit up very hard, as if to guide them in. Walking along this dim corridor, I saw that on both sides of the corridor were small closed rooms, all indicating that this was a research institute for Martians. At the end of the corridor was a door, tightly closed, and no one knew what was behind it, and if there were any surviving Martians inside? Zhuge Wushuang guessed.

Lu Yingying casually pushed open the door, the scene inside was not the slightest different from the outside, clean and tidy, dusty, the whole space was vast white, as if she had come to heaven. After the two came in, the door behind them closed slowly and silently, and the whole room was empty and silent, only the footsteps of Zhuge Wushuang and Lu Yingying returned. The actual data on the helmet shows that there is oxygen in it, the concentration is 27 percent, and the air humidity is 45 percent. Sixty-five million years ago, the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere was much higher than it is now, otherwise dinosaurs would not have been able to grow so tall.

As the two walked to the center of the room, the room suddenly dimmed, and slowly a star was suspended in the center of the room, and then the eight planets in the solar system also appeared in orbit one after another, which was a stereoscopic projection. Then an image of an old Martian appeared next to the fourth planet, and the image of Mars was still green, and the sea water divided the continent into six parts, distributed in all directions of Mars. What the Martians are saying, but Zhuge Wushuang they can't understand. Immediately thinking that the previous fleet had deciphered the language of the Martians, he quickly opened the program, and the Martian's voice immediately changed

“…… The war between the Ostonian Empire and the Helios Church has been fought for more than 500 years, and the energy of the entire star system has been consumed, and finally our Helios Cult has invented a super crystal bomb, which is very powerful, when it explodes, it flashes with the brilliance of the sun, and the Ostonian Empire has completely erased from the planet, and the church has finally completed the unification of the planet after paying heavy casualties. But before people had time to cheer for the victory, the side effects of the crystal bomb appeared, a huge shock wave rushed out of the atmosphere, disrupting the orbit of Satellite 1, Satellite 1 fell and hit the ground fiercely, the huge explosion made the atmosphere on the planet begin to disperse, and the sea water continued to evaporate and boil, so that after two hundred years, all the seas dried up, the air became thin, the ground became unviable, and all the people moved underground and established dungeons. At that time, some people suggested immigrating to the earth to survive, but the gravity of the earth was too great for our bones to adapt to it, and the earth's seawater contained a fatal ** - salt. This suggestion was therefore abandoned. ”

"At this moment, the great scientist of the Church, Kobor, invented the warp engine, which made our interstellar voyage possible, and the Church immediately built a fleet of immigrants, completely collecting all the energy crystals in the solar system, and preparing to migrate to Sirius, where we have discovered a planet suitable for our survival. Fifty years after the departure of the first group, the fleet returned and the second group of immigrants began, after which the fleet was never heard from, and only one migrant ship survived on Mars, the Great Western State. The captain of the ship, Earl Atlantis, forcibly collected the energy crystals of the entire underground city when he could not contact Mars and the energy was about to run out, intending to go to the earth to find energy crystal deposits so that the base could continue to survive. But it's gone. ”

"In the last years of the base, there was a riot in the city, and everyone was plunged into a frenzy of destruction and destruction, and after five years of madness, there were less than 100,000 people alive on Mars. The remaining resources of the city are enough for the remaining people to survive for a long time. At this time, a genius scientist came up with an amazing plan to create a bioenergetic spar, which can absorb all energy to grow, so that our civilization will never be bothered by energy again. The plan was planned with the full support of the Cardinal, and for the next fifty years we waited for the return of the immigrant fleet while working on the project. But there is little hope, many people committed suicide in despair in the process and ended their lives, two hundred years have passed in waiting, the immigrant fleet is still missing, maybe they have forgotten us a long time ago, the rest of the base is about to run out, all the survivors are concentrated in the Central Academy of Sciences, we shut down the water supply and oxygen supply system of the base, and survived in the closed building for more than ten years, on the last day, we finally developed the crystal seed of the bioenergy spar, we cheered, We can finally get out of this hellish place. ”

"When we opened the doors of the Academy of Sciences with surprise and prepared to sow energy crystals, we were attacked by monsters! I don't know why, the creatures outside didn't die in the absence of oxygen, they mutated and became strong and bloodthirsty and ferocious, it was the most terrifying day, the monsters stormed into the Academy of Sciences and ate almost everyone, our weapons were powerless in front of their thick carapace, and the base's defenses could not be turned on because there was no energy source. At the time of the incident, I escaped by hiding in the central computer room, and when I went out, I found that I was alone in the entire base. Maybe I'm the only one on Mars. ”

"I've been in the base for fifty years, and I haven't figured out a way to leave until I can't figure it out, the immigrant fleet has never come, and it's already the world of mutated creatures outside, until recently, I felt like I was going back to the arms of the sun god, and before I left, I wanted to leave something to prove that I existed, so I recorded this video, and I don't know if anyone could receive it. Maybe that group of monkeys on Earth will one day evolve to our planet. Okay, that's pretty much the end of what I need to say, I think it's better to sow these crystals, after all, it's our life's work. I'm going out, brave enough to face everything, I've had enough of this damn room, I don't want to stay here for a moment. Even in the jaws of those horrible beasts! I've been cowardly all my life, and I want to be stronger before I leave......"

The image ends here, Zhuge Wushuang and Lu Yingying quietly looked at the old man in the image for a long time, it was so lonely and helpless, helpless with resentment and disappointment, disappointment and resentment towards the immigrant fleet. It was they who abandoned him, all who survived......

"They have abandoned hope! Hope for the Rise of the Race! Zhuge Wushuang said loudly.
