The sound of ticking came to my ears one after another.

It was like some kind of timer, like the sound of droplets of water falling on a stone slab.

The surrounding light was very dim, and the pinprick-like pain on his body made Xue Shanhai realize that he was still alive.

He struggled to raise his hand and touch everything around him in the dark, he remembered that on his right was the console's joystick, but now there was nothing but a few pieces scattered on the ground.

He tried to see what was going on around him, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything except the rhythmic flickering of a blue spot of light not far away. He tried to get up, only to find that his entire lower body was pressed by something and couldn't move. He tried hard to pull his body out, and there was a sharp pain in his lower body as if it was about to tear his whole body apart, and if he guessed correctly, his legs were already useless.

Xue Shanhai lay on the ground, gasping for air, trying to relieve the pain and keep his brain awake.

Just an hour ago, he and his buddies were deciphering a string of code in this place, a small piece of the complex and irregular data, the symbols were so special that the part of it would show a pattern in a conventional data analysis instrument, a flower, a flower they had never seen before. But the data of this flower is picked out, but it suddenly becomes a string of garbled codes, and then to analyze it is already a reorganized sequence, and the original data in the spaceship seems to be covered by this pile of garbled codes into the same strange symbols, if those special symbols are 1, then these reorganized sequences are countless 1 piled up new symbols, all the system data in an instant all become organized and regular new data, the growth of this symbol, is actually feeding on conventional data, and growing at an alarming speed.

Although this sounds incredible, this is the case, Xue Shanhai and they found a string of 'life' symbols.

On the fifth day of this planet called A36, they had a harvest.

Xue Shanhai remembered the game he saw in Professor Mo's database before that Professor Mo played in 2005: Snake.

At that time, he also told He Yimu that this professor usually looks serious, but he didn't expect that he was also addicted to such a small game when he was young and couldn't extricate himself.

Who would have thought that the rapid growth of symbols threatened to paralyze their databases, and all the data symbols turned into identical blue flowers, and the whole process only lasted about a fraction of a second, and all the systems were destroyed, and after a burst of bright light and tinnitus, the spacecraft had a small self-explosion and became the dilapidated state it is now.

"Why is it wood! Are you still alive, Xue, Qiao Shu, Sang-eup! Are you all there? Xue Shanhai shouted his partner's name loudly.

It was very quiet, and there was no response at all.

Only then did Xue Shanhai realize the seriousness of the problem, he was the only one in this place, and his leg was already useless, if he didn't take measures, he would most likely die here.

Fortunately, the protective clothing he was wearing was not broken, Professor Mo had said that the suit could withstand heavy pressure, and when necessary, it could quickly carbonize, and the hardness was about the same as that of diamond. He pressed the button on his waist, and then he felt that the soft and fitting clothes on his body had turned into a hard shell, and then the weight of his weight was loose.

Xue Shanhai tried to pull his body out of the protective suit, he first opened the buckle on his shoulder, and then slowly moved out of the shell like a snail, fortunately Professor Mo didn't lie to him, and with the support of the protective suit, he finally got out. It's just a pity that the protective suit, I'm afraid I'm going to lie here forever.

Although he was able to get out, Xue Shanhai was clearly aware of the fact that his legs could no longer stand up. At the same time, it is not easy to get out of here.

He moved his body until he found a place to lean on, and then opened the bracelet that he had been wearing on his hand, and the positioning system showed that he was still in the spaceship at this time, but their ship was buried deep in the gravel, about five meters from the ground, and the only place to get out was the top cabin of the ship, which was closest to the ground.

But first, he had to stand up, because the place to climb up to the top cabin was a rope ladder.

In fact, he has always wanted to ask this designer why he designed such a non-scientific existence in such a high-tech spaceship, which is extremely inconvenient and unclear, and it will be a problem to escape in case of emergency.

Just when Xue Shanhai fell into despair, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be burning, and there was nothing else but burning, and then he seemed to hear the bones of his whole body making a cracking sound, especially his legs, as if they were torn by some invisible force, and he cried out in pain.

He heard his bones rattling, this pain seemed to tear his consciousness a little blurred, he saw the flower again, blue, a total of three petals, the stamen is silver metal, sprinkled with a faint current, look closely, those mysterious symbols float around those currents, the symbols also glow, he wanted to reach out to touch it, but the next second suddenly woke up.

Xue Shanhai got up suddenly, but found that he was standing in the control center of the spaceship, holding his travel notes that he never left his body, although the lights around him were dim, he could see the furnishings inside the spaceship, and it turned out that the weight that was pressing him just now was a black boulder about three meters long.

Just when he wondered where the boulder came from, his leg was completely healed at this time.

He even thought it was just a dream, but the hazmat suit under the boulder reminded him that everything just now was real.

Although everything that is now being faced cannot be explained by common sense.

After settling down, Xue Shanhai still focused on the question of how to get out of here.

He picked up the backpack on the ground, put the notebook in his hand, packed up some necessary tools, and walked in the direction of the top cabin.

He climbed the escalator and opened the hatch, and the gravel on it flowed like a stream into the cabin, but fortunately he had been prepared, and when he opened the hatch, he made a swinging motion and hung himself on the wall next to the barn door, holding on to the bracket just to avoid the quicksand pouring down.

When the quicksand was about to fill the cabin, the sunlight came through the hatch, and Xue Shanhai struggled to climb out of the hatch before finally seeing the outside world.

If the Sahara Desert on Earth is the largest desert in the world, then this is probably the second Sahara.

Thinking that an hour ago, the place where they landed was still an oasis, and Yimu joked that when they left, they might be able to pick some plants and go back, maybe they could make medicinal herbs.

But who would have thought that in just ten minutes, everything would change.

Xue Shanhai only hoped that they were still alive.

The communicator completely lost its effectiveness in such a place, Xue Shanhai tried to contact him dozens of times, but found nothing, and even the data showed that there was no sign of life at all ten kilometers away.

That is, the only survivor here is him.

This is also the conclusion that Xue Shanhai is most unwilling to reach, it is obvious that his companions have had an accident, and they can't even find their bodies.

He stood far away facing the desert with no end in sight, and he tried to call out the names of his companions, but there was no response, and there was only his voice left in his ears except the sound of the wind.

Xue Shanhai looked at the bag, except for a bottle of drinking water, there was not even the necessary food, he was not sure if he could leave here before this bottle of water was drunk, and he was not sure if there were any other creatures in this desert.

According to the data analysis, there is an undulation about three kilometers due north, and the outline looks like a city. With such a glimmer of life, he headed north.

After walking for about five or six hours, Xue Shanhai came to the streets of the city.

The ground was still covered with gravel, and there were many strangely shaped buildings, some of which even changed shape with the wind, like the thing around him now, which looked like a silver cactus without leaves. However, if you touch it with your hand, sharp thorns will suddenly appear on it, but when you take it away, the thorns will turn into something like water and melt into the silver surface.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound behind him, and then a sharp horn 'grew' on the ground, and then the sharp horn grew higher and higher, growing to the height of a building of more than a dozen floors, and then it stopped 'growing'.

Before Xue Shanhai could react, a door slowly opened under the tower, there was no special pattern on the door, and the silver polished surface seemed to have a transparent liquid flowing, but if you looked closely, it was just a visual illusion caused by the reflection of light. With the sound of electronic machinery turning, the door slowly opened.

Just when Xue Shanhai was hesitating to go in, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "What are you doing!" Get on board! Those things are coming after you! ”

Xue Shanhai turned around, but he couldn't see anyone, but the voice was really nearby, just when he was stunned, he only felt that his hand was being held by someone, and then with an invisible force, he was actually led to run in the direction of the door.

Only to hear a huge crash behind him, Xue Shanhai knew that he had entered the tower.

The door behind him disappeared with a few bangs.

"What are you doing, that thing's claws almost tore you apart!" The voice was a very nice female voice, but Xue Shanhai always felt that this voice seemed a little familiar.

"Who are you and why can't I see you." Xue Shanhai looked around, but there was no one in sight.

"Xue Shanhai, haven't you even heard my voice in a few years?"

"Haven't seen you in a few years?" Xue Shanhai was puzzled, he didn't remember any friends here.

"How am I a wood!" Listening to the voice, the other party seemed to be a little angry.

"Why wood?" It must have been less than seven or eight hours since they were apart......

"Forget it, it's not your fault, I can't tell you about this matter for a while, anyway, you come with me first." Xue Shanhai heard a trace of helplessness in the other party's voice, but he was sincere, not like he was joking.

Xue Shanhai was forcibly pulled to the side of a pillar of light again, and before he could react, he felt a force behind him, and he fell into the pillar of light with a stumble.

Standing in the pillar of light, Xue Shanhai only felt the coolness around him, those pillars of light looked like a trace of blue rain up close, he looked up at the top of his head, only to see countless number-like symbols falling from the sky, like a downpour, he closed his eyes violently, but it was still a step too late, he felt that those symbols had gradually penetrated into his skin, as if at that moment, he also became a bunch of data symbols with these 'heavy rain' were landed on the ground.

When he opened his eyes, there was no pillar of light around him, and the girl in front of him looked at him with a smile, and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of his eyes.

"Xue Shanhai, do you see us?"

Behind He Yimu, there were still six people in white uniforms, looking very angry.
