Chapter Eighty-Six: Jade and the Heart
"This melon baby. Yang Shi was a little speechless, and Yuan Xi's inexplicable hostility.
Watching the group leave, he did not follow, but stayed.
"Why are you still staying here? Zhou Shu's complexion has been getting better and better since he took the pill, and he looked at Yang Shi and asked suspiciously, but he didn't mean to drive away.
Anyway, it was Yang Shi who caught him in time just now and removed the impact from his body, so that his injuries did not worsen.
"Look at xenos. Yang Shi replied and walked towards the two huge corpses.
The two halves of the corpse were separated, and in the middle of the ground, a dark crack in the scorched earth was rising from it.
Looking closer, Yang Shi still couldn't accept it, such a behemoth was directly cut in half.
Picking up a broken bone on the ground, Yang Shi exerted his strength slightly, and this bone was directly crushed by him.
"Hmm, how did it get so brittle? He was stunned, this was a bone fragment that fell from the xenomorph's body, and even the energy cannon couldn't blow it up, but now it was like tofu, and it was shattered by his gentle pinch.
"This is the Xeno's heart?" When he got to where Xeno's chest was, he saw a heart the size of a basketball, exposed.
Compared to the xenomorph's huge size, its heart is surprisingly small, wrapped in sinew, and looks inconspicuous at all.
It caught Yang Shi's attention because there were red crystals stuck in it, and if you looked closely, you would find that there was a bright red liquid flowing inside these crystals.
Some are like blood, but not as viscous as blood and more transparent.
"What the hell are these crystals?" Yang Shi took out the knife and carefully cut off the heart.
After the xenomorph died, not only did the bones become fragile, but even the muscles and muscles on its body became very loose and paralyzed, losing their previous defensive strength.
Therefore, the process of cutting off his heart was not effortless.
"Anything else?" After the xenomorph heart fell off, Yang Shi looked at it again, and saw that under the original position of the heart, there was a piece similar to jade.
Fortunately, he also dug up the jade.
The jade is the size of a washbasin, and the surface is smooth and flat, like what was originally used to hold the heart.
The dirty blood attached to its surface, Yang Shi tilted slightly, and all of it slid to the ground, and the jade itself was not stained with the slightest dirt, which looked very special.
Not only that, when Yang Shi held the jade in his hand, he keenly felt that the surroundings had become different, but he couldn't tell that there was a difference.
If Yang Shi's perception could be stronger at this time, he would be able to perceive the special energy around him, that is, the evolutionary factor that scientists often say, from the original disorder to order, and began to move closer to the jade in his hand in a uniform manner.
The jade was like a magnet, and the special energy that swams in the air began to slowly approach the jade, and after circling around it a few times, it finally merged into it.
And all this, Yang Shi couldn't perceive, he only felt the breeze blowing on his face, his body was very comfortable by this weak wind, and his pores were wide open.
By feeling, this jade should be a treasure, although I don't know why it exists under the heart of this xenomorph, but this does not prevent Yang Shi from taking it back to study.
Secretly glanced at Zhou Shu not far away, because the xenomorph half of the corpse was used as a cover, he didn't see the jade in Yang Shi's hand and the heart that fell to the ground.
Put the jade into the backpack, fortunately, this piece of jade looks very heavy, but in fact it is not very heavy, put it in the backpack, other people from the outside of the backpack, it is absolutely impossible to see that there is a basin-sized jade in it.
Next, Yang Shi looked at the heart under his feet again, what was the red crystal inserted on it like a candle, he was a little curious, but he didn't dare to touch it at will.
If the red liquid inside the crystal was highly poisonous, then it would be tragic for him to touch it casually.
After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to hand over this heart to Fang Bai and them to study, so he stuck the knife in his heart and walked to Zhou Shu like this.
"See what this is?"
Zhou Shu was still resting with his eyes closed, and when he heard Yang Shi's words, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Is this from the xeno?" Zhou Shu suddenly stood up and stared at the heart on the tip of the knife.
Yang Shi nodded in confirmation, "It should be its heart, but what are these crystals inserted in its heart?"
Zhou Shu looked at it for a while, his eyes became more and more serious, and then said: "This may be related to our mission, this heart is of great use to us, I have to quickly contact the captain to come and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a virtual pop-up window from his bracelet and prepared to make contact, but he never received a response.
"It's strange why no one can be contacted. Zhou Shu tried to contact everyone in the team, but there was still no sound.
Yang Shi listened, looked at the heart under his feet, pointed and said, "Could it be the reason for it, you go far away and try again." ”
"This?" Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and ran away as he said to try to contact again.
"What's the matter?" Tianfeng's clear voice came from the bracelet.
"Really. Zhou Shu turned his head to look at Yang Shi in the distance.
"What?" Tianfeng was puzzled.
"Oh, Captain, I've found signs of modification on the xenomorph here, which may be related to the mission target, you ......"
"We'll be right here. Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, on the other side, Tianfeng had already cut off the communication, and seemed to be on his way over.
"How. Seeing Zhou Shu walking back, Yang Shi asked.
Zhou Shu nodded, and then said strangely: "How do you know that this heart will interfere with our communication." ”
"Fang Bai had discovered before, near this xenomorph, there was no way to contact it at all, and I just guessed that it might be the ghost of this heart. Yang Shi said truthfully.
Soon, Tianfeng brought people over, including Fang Bai, who could see that the injuries on his body had been treated, and at least he was able to resume his actions.
"This is it, the heart of the xenomorph. Zhou Shu pointed to the heart that had long been depleted on the ground and said.
After looking at it for a while, Fang Bai nodded and said, "This heart has indeed been artificially transformed. ”
Tianfeng suddenly moved her index finger, only to see a little spark emerging from her fingertips, forming a thin line of flame of more than one meter, like a laser, cutting out a hole in the xeno's heart, without touching the red crystal.
"There's something in there!" Guan Ping said first.
A streak of black appeared inside the opening, like metal.
Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his fingers again, and pulled the mouth wider, and the black object inside was gradually revealed.
Yang Shi could see clearly that it was a black metal ball, about the size of an egg.
