Chapter 1044: A Dark Past

?u???? &??? nbkA??? c?6Q? Rb?? M??? QKy?6gD?u? S? W??? What is it, another monster guard?" The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion are still the pipes, valves, and strange instruments, but the ceiling here is much shorter, less than half the diameter of the previous one.

"No, those pipes aren't living creatures, just corpses. Zhao Mai sniffed the smell, and then said affirmatively: "Saying it may make you feel sick to your stomach, those things ......"

"Don't say it!" Susan was already using retching to prove that she had an upset stomach. This can't be blamed on her, after all, as far as the eye can see, the ceiling and walls of the entire circular passage are full of all kinds of air-dried corpses, most of them are disemboweled, and some are only a single skin left, which is dazzling, like ...... Forget it, it's still not described, what if the reader happens to be eating bacon rice when they read this paragraph?.

The pipes are already filled with steam, and all the installations here are in operation. The valves creaked, the levers and pistons rattled, the smoke and moisture filled the air, and the sharp grinding sound was incessant, making your teeth sour. Compared to the previous empty passage, this place has finally "come to life", like a dilapidated classic car, mixing the power of water and fire, mixing the smell of steel and rust, and exerting the last residual heat.

The steam stirred up the wind, swinging the corpses of all kinds of creatures that hung up, entangled, or stuffed between the pipes. There must be some kind of embalming magic here, otherwise the smell of such a humid and hot place will be ruined. It's okay now, everything around me is just destroying people visually and psychologically, and it spares the nose for the time being.

Zhao Mai was the first person in the team, he stood still, kept raising his head to look at these corpses in the air, his expression was solemn. Diana went around to Zhao Mai's side to look at him and asked, "What's wrong with you, did you find any shortcuts again?"

"No, I'm wondering where all these corpses came from. Zhao Mai's words almost caused Susan to vomit. Her legs were weak, and she hurriedly lay on Colux's shoulder. "Brother-in-law, I study physics and astronomy, not pathobiology or criminal investigation, please spare me. ”

"I'm talking about astronomy. Zhao Mai said: "Let me tell you this, these corpses look very much like the bionic beasts we saw before, but none of them are them." If you look closely...... Forget it, I'll just say the result: these are aliens. ”

Diana knew that Zhao Mai's space fleet had traveled to various galaxies on missions to find and spread life, so she was convinced of his judgment. Colossus and the Invisible Woman didn't know Zhao Mai, but they had seen him paralyze a living asteroid with just one move, which could also prove his strength from the side. If he says they're aliens, let's just think so. But Susan was right: "Anyway, it's a corpse, and it won't hinder us anything, so let's find a way through this corpse room." ”

"It's fine. Zhao Mai said as he walked: "I sent a spaceship deep into the sea of stars, went to millions of star systems, and also crossed the galaxy, leaving thousands of colonized planets, but I didn't find any traces of alien creatures. Not to mention a corpse, it's just a piece of airwaves, a ruin, not even a fragment of a man-made object. If it weren't for the Death Star and Superman, I would have thought that there would be no aliens in this universe at all. I didn't expect to see so many kinds of alien creatures here, which inevitably made me wonder: how did they die here?"

In fact, the answer lies in these corpses. With his professional vision, Zhao Mai found the traces of surgery left by various biological experiments. Aliens of the same type, although scattered all over the circular passage, can be found to be able to make up the size of several groups if you pay attention to your memory. The difference in body size, the classification of body characteristics, and the difference in the degree of aging of the skin and muscles prove that they are captured in groups and used exclusively for study.

One can imagine a picture of the Death Star descending on a planet, suppressing an entire planet with weakening light, and then starting to loot and learn, and then erasing all traces when everything is done, leaving only a few souvenirs. Zhao Mai weighed the difficulty of doing so, and found that in addition to perfectly erasing the traces, he could also do other things himself. This model is absolutely feasible if the relevant capabilities are developed specifically.

As Zhao Mai walked, he used his psychic ability to move away the corpses that stood in the way, so that everyone could pass more smoothly. Walking here is a very unpleasant experience for others, but for Zhao Mai, it is a journey of discovery. It is a waste to study only their organs and abilities, and only by investigating their evolutionary journey, studying their creatures like history, can we learn the most important thing they have accumulated over time and survived in their corpses: how to adapt to the environment. So Zhao Mai released a part of essentia, which was enough to support the establishment of a small research base here, and by the way, it also made the psychic ability space surplus. He secretly took some samples, avoided everyone's attention, and stuffed them in.

Along the increasingly clear signal of space energy, they moved forward for about a kilometer. "There are biological signals ahead, which are alive. Zhao Mai's words alerted everyone, and they all made a posture of vigilance. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mai smiled bitterly: "Don't be nervous, it's just some eggs." ”

Sure enough, after turning an angle in the circular passage, everyone saw the "egg farm" in front of them. The viscous, milky gel is found all over the floor, walls and ceiling, creating a thick layer of "hatching beds". Thousands of oval-shaped gray-white biological eggs the size of watermelons sit upright on the hatching bed, one pit at a time. Each egg has a cross-shaped opening at the top, and a few openings are slotted.

The four-person team is not an ordinary person, they either use special eyesight to see through directly, or use the ability to detect energy and particles, even if it is an iron head, it will not lose the IQ and caution of normal people, and they can naturally find that these eggs are active. The eggs that appeared in the pile of corpses would not give people a reassuring feeling, so Diana said directly: "Destroy them all!"

"Don't be in a hurry, they're really fragile right now, and the eggshell can be shattered with a single shot. However, I could smell that the inside of the living organisms and eggshells were extremely corrosive. These things in front of you are both hatchery and minefield, and it is easy to break them, but those corrosive liquids are flowing everywhere, and this annular pipe must be finished. If there's also spatial turbulence outside, how can we get to the other side?"

"You're an expert in biology, do what you say, we listen to you. If you can paralyze all these eggs, that's the best, and we can safely get through. ”

"Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can mimic their shells and learn the key genes that can fight against highly corrosive bodily fluids. Zhao Mai motioned for everyone to step back and move forward alone. He adjusts his natural force to blend in with his surroundings as much as possible to avoid being detected by the egg.

This reminded Susan, and she immediately said, "Brother-in-law, I can make everyone invisible, so they can't see us, let alone attack, how about this method?"

The sound wave passed, and an egg slowly opened the opening at the top, slowly rotating the eggshell, like a cannon adjusting the angle of fire, and aimed at Susan.
