Chapter 19: The Puzzle

The thrusters behind the Angel emit a soft shimmer, the turbines inside the conical engine rotate quietly, and the GN solar furnace only maintains the minimum output to support the suspension of the body.

At this moment, the particle diffusers distributed throughout the body of the energy angel are only slightly escaping sparse GN particles, these sparse points of light, like fireflies constantly shaking in the air, and like dandelion seeds, lightly suspended in mid-air, constantly accompanied by the flow of air, slowly sprinkled in all corners of the tunnel.

When Lin Yumo drove the Angel Gundam here, he had already advanced almost sixty kilometers horizontally from the position just now, but due to the complexity of the xenomorph nest, Lin Yumo calculated that the distance he walked was close to two hundred kilometers, and with the increase of the distance forward, the position of the nest that Lin Yumo was in was also constantly changing, from the initial depth of eight hundred meters, to the position of nearly 2,100 meters deep into the nest now.

And nearly forty minutes have passed since he got out of the battle just now, if he judged according to Lin Yumo's original thoughts, at this time, he should have already met the second wave of xenos close to him and started fighting!

However, the situation in front of Lin Yumo was completely beyond his own expectations!

There are countless xenos hidden inside the xenomorph nest, which has been determined by the Three Sages system as early as when Lin Yumo has not yet entered the lair, and according to the estimation model established by the Three Sages, it is speculated that the density of xenomorphs in the area near the core of the xenomorph nest can reach 5 heads per square meter.

But since he killed the last giant xenomorph of the previous cluster and got rid of the entanglement of the xenogene, let alone a new xenogene, not even a fly has encountered it himself!

The path he was moving forward seemed to be clean and terrifying, and if it weren't for the surrounding environment or the material of the alien lair, with the current tranquility, Lin Yumo even thought that he had returned to the empty and lonely bedroom on the top of the Skywalker!

At the beginning, Lin Yumo was still able to detect the vibration caused by xenomorph movement from the top of his head or on other lines near the tunnel, but later, as Lin Yumo went deeper and deeper, the surrounding environment did not become dangerous, but became more and more silent, and even now it has reached the weird and terrifying Cheng DΓΉ that is silent in the college entrance examination room and faintly oppresses the nerves of others!

Lin Yumo, who was aware of this situation, landed the Energy Angel Gundam in a small underground space similar to a compartment formed by the intersection and bifurcation of the two tunnels, because the interior of the xenomorph underground lair only had a very faint moss fluorescence, and at the time of the initial disengagement from the battle, in order to reduce the chance of being discovered by the xenomorphs, Lin Yumo turned off the searchlight on the head of the Angel of Energy, at this time, the Angel of Energy who only turned on the night vision mode was like a warrior monk who had learned the eye of the heart, relying on the number of detectors, Constantly moving forward in the way of the navigation of the three sages.

At this moment, under the reflection of the bright green fluorescence emitted by the Angel itself, the environment of Lin Yumo's surrounding lair was extremely mysterious and terrifying!

The rhizome-like structures of unknown function extending from the top of the tunnel seem to have some special light-sensitive component, and under the illumination of the emerald green fluorescence of the angels, these stem-like structures also emit a kind of dark blue and somewhat purple cold light.

At this time, Lin Yumo looked at the dark and empty structure around this compartment and the tunnel entrances of the four black holes around him, and at the same time used a very precise and steady technique to manipulate the Angel of Energy to gradually reduce the output power of the thruster behind him, as if a layer of air cushion was placed under the feet of the Angel of Energy that gradually dispersed air, while maintaining the quiet environment to the greatest extent, the feet of the Angel of Energy would land steadily on the ground of the underground tunnel.

"There's something wrong here!"

Since realizing the abnormality, Lin Yumo's brows have not slackened, and they have wrinkled deeper and deeper as time passed!

"Ariel, how's it going out there? The situation inside the lair is so anomalous, I need to get information on the Martian ground and compare it here! ”

"Your Excellency, just as you can see underground, the current activity of xenomorphs on the surface of Mars is also very 'abnormal'! No, it's still a bit inaccurate, I should say it's too 'normal'! ”

Ariel's voice also carried twelve points of confusion and hesitation, and it was the first time that Lin Yumo had encountered a situation where the Azure Seat that could make the Three Sages decide the mechanism hesitated!

"Abnormal and normal? What's going on? Ariel, I wonder what the hell is going on out there? ”

Seeing Lin Yumo's deeper and deeper brows and more and more puzzled expression, Ariel bit her lip and thought for a while, and after still not getting an accurate result, she could only sigh heavily and say slowly.

"Please, please forgive the concubine for being incompetent...... When, the current situation ...... It is really difficult for the concubine to make an accurate judgment, and it is really a dereliction of duty for the concubine to not be able to assist the lord here, the concubine, the concubine ......."

This blue girl, who was always full of pride and self-confidence, like a perfect royal princess, at this moment is actually rare like a defeated rooster in a sluggish state, self-loathing, and as the conversation progresses, Ariel's voice is getting smaller and smaller, a little head is about to be lowered to the chest, at this moment she gives people a cute little ostrich shy to want to bury her head in the sand completely, but at this moment her surroundings are not to mention sand, It's a ridiculous feeling that you can't even find an object that can be covered up a little!

Seeing this scene, Lin Yumo fell into a strange predicament, but most of the irritability and annoyance in his heart dissipated, and even his head, which had become a little chaotic due to excessive tension, became much more sober!

"It's okay Ariel, in this world, including you and me, there are no perfect people and things, everything in the world has its own limitations and flaws, it is precisely because I recognize my own limitations and flaws that I want to make the three of you, it's okay, don't be busy apologizing yet, the first thing to do now is to tell me all the information you get!"

After hearing Lin Yumo say this, Ariel actually showed a rare and somewhat shy expression on her face, but Ariel, who knew the situation at the moment, quickly adjusted her mentality and explained clearly.

"The situation is like this, the alien race that was originally frantically returning to the lair on the Martian ground suddenly stopped their actions, and after readjusting their formation, they repositioned their goals in the direction of constantly moving away from the lair!"

"Not to mention this, we also used the remote monitoring method of the GuΓ² Morning Star to mark the wave of xenomorph clusters that have clearly started a battle with the Master, and the appearance of this xenomorph cluster is even more strange, they seem to have forgotten the Lord You, the enemy with whom the enemy has clearly behaved hostilely, after losing the giant xenos and some of the clan units, they actually seem to be fine, and they are far away from the entire lair!"

At this point, Ariel's expression became even more confused and stern.

"Even, this is not the most outrageous, the weirdest! The most incredible thing is that the Lord should have discovered it! ”

Ariel said word by word through the main display of the cockpit of the Angel Gundam, reaching out and pointing to the underground tunnel outside.

"The tunnel we're in is so quiet! In other words, the whole route we have been moving forward seems too clean, too deliberate, too unnatural! ”

"Since the time when the Lord defeated the giant xenomorphs, the behavior of the xenos in the entire lair area has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the two completely different behaviors have been completely separated from that point in time, if they are released separately, no matter whether you look at the front or the back, there is no way to explain the reason and purpose of this huge change!"

"Moreover, in this process, the Three Sages system compared the vibrations and sound signals collected by the detectors on the energy angels, and we found that after that critical point in time, the alien species you are about to encounter will deliberately change their travel route to other forks in the road when they are about to come into contact with the energy angels, and all the actions of these guys are indicating a signal, although we can't believe it, but according to our inference, this signal is - avoid, avoid, with, I, we, positive, face, connection, Touch! ”

As she spoke, Ariel also widened her eyes, stretched out her index finger and accentuated her tone and said to Lin Yumo with some incredulity.

"For this inexplicable change, we can't figure it out, let alone understand it, so we can't make a correct judgment, although we don't want to admit it, but that's exactly the case, those aliens are deliberately avoiding us, dodging the Angel Gundam, or it can also be said to be dodging the direction of your head!"

Listening to Ariel's report on all the abnormal situations during this time, Lin Yumo's expression became more and more solemn, until after listening to all of Ariel's reports, Lin Yumo couldn't help but fall into a silent deep thought!

"Invite...... Or ...... Pitfall! ”

Lin Yumo, who pondered for a moment, couldn't help but raise his head and said with some playfulness.

"I'm still not sure what it is, but this strange situation finally confirms my previous suspicion about xenomorphs!"

"Behind the xenomorphs in the entire lair, there must be some high-level existence with extremely high intelligence that we don't know yet, and the other party is likely to be able to reach some kind of communication and communication with us!"

"What? Exchange and communication? Is it really possible for something as ugly and disgusting as an alien xenomorph to do so? Brother? Angel doesn't believe these weird bugs can talk to us! ”

Hearing Lin Yumo's judgment, not only was Ariel taken aback, but even Angelia, who had been trying to keep silent in order not to distract Lin Yumo, couldn't help but jump out, staring at her big round eyes, and said in a coquettish and simple tone.

"You can't go wrong! Angel! ”

Lin Yumo looked at Angelia, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said in an expectant confident tone.

"Beasts that can't communicate won't make such a move, although I don't know if this is a deliberate show of weakness in order to look forward to an invitation to equal communication opportunities, or if it's too arrogant about its own strength, because it's fearless, so it's a blatant pride to invite you into the urn, this kind of behavior itself is a kind of thinking interaction, but all creatures with wisdom will have their own thoughts and judgments about this behavior!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yumo's heart suddenly had some kind of long-lost, very violent, heart couldn't suppress the thumping beat, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, as if he was taking drugs!

Lin Yumo's eyes naturally lit up with blazing fire, and towards the darkness in the depths of the tunnel, Lin Yumo raised his fist!

"Interesting, really interesting! Such an interesting act! Such a challenge that excites me! That unknown storage zΓ i! Whether it's an invitation or a war letter! Let me meet you for a while! After all, informing each other's names is the greatest respect for old enemies! ”
