Chapter 2 Meteorites

The Observatory announced that at 21:37 Duo Ling, a super-large meteor shower will make landfall in the southwestern suburbs. In order to avoid accidents, the general public is requested not to go out during the appearance of the meteor shower. Please pay attention to the general public."

In the night shrouded the earth, from time to time white lampposts fell, breaking through the darkness and illuminating a gap.

It was the occasional light on the ground as the patrol mecha of the out-of-town defense system flew high in the air.

Above the black wilderness, several figures stood at the foot of a slightly arched hillside, as if waiting for something.

"Three minutes to go"

One of the four raised his hand to look at the time and whispered.

The remaining three people didn't speak, all of them looked like they were only sixteen or seventeen years old.

One of them kept looking up at the dark sky, and the other two, one tall and one short, stood on his left and right like attendants, swiping their phones for a while.

The last teenager didn't seem to fit in very well, standing alone a little away from the other three, his hands clutching a satchel on his waist, looking at them with a timid expression.

The time cast on the three-dimensional light screen in the middle of the crowd beats minute by minute.

When the three-minute countdown ended, several people subconsciously looked up.

Almost at the same time, on the pitch-black sky above their heads, meteors slipped down like rain with brilliant flames of light.

Just as the time predicted by the observatory, a super-large meteor shower appeared, and the eyes of the four teenagers who looked up at this scene all lit up.

It is said that the meteor shower was formed because of an asteroid that strayed into the orbit of the star.

The main body of the asteroid has been repeatedly shattered several times outside the planet, and in front of them, what has turned into a meteor is only a little bit of meteorite residue that has not been completely erased.

Even this bit of debris has less than 1 in 10,000 chance of falling to the ground "safely".

The "autonomous defense system" that envelops the entire metropolis will pinpoint and shatter meteors one by one when they are near.

The eyes of the four teenagers soon reflected the spectacular scene of meteors falling in half and exploding into a ball of sparks and disappearing.

This process lasted several minutes.

Maybe tonight's meteor shower is a bit big.

In the midst of the "lively" sparks, several "fish that slipped through the net" successfully escaped the "hunting" of the defense system and fell towards the bottom.

One of them, it seems, is not far from where the four of them are now.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, a teenager at the head of the four immediately retracted his gaze, and quickly took out a capsule-sized object from his pants pocket and threw it on the ground.

Accompanied by "Bang! With a soft sound, a black off-road vehicle with rough lines and like a beast appeared in the field out of thin air.

The boy jumped into the co-pilot of the car first, and then urged with a roar.

"Don't ink, hurry up and get in the car, it's time to find the mecha on duty later!"

The rest of the group reacted quickly, one expertly getting into the driver's seat, and the other quickly taking the back seat.

The cowardly boy with the satchel hesitated slightly, and was yelled at and got into the car.

The black off-road motor roared and raced across the wilderness.

The young man in the co-pilot stood in his position, most of his body leaned out of the car, his eyes staring at a certain rapidly falling fire ball in the sky in the distance ahead, his eyes were burning, and his face was full of excitement.

"Qiyuan, why do you have to pick up a meteorite?"

On the way to the off-road, the boy in the driver's seat was controlling the car and boredly asking his partner beside him.

Standing at the front of the car against the night breeze, the young man with his hair fluttering showed a trace of tenderness on his face, and replied: "On Vinia's birthday in a week, I plan to give her a 'star'." ”

When the two companions heard this, their faces immediately showed expressions that were indeed so.

I am afraid that the only person who can make this person in front of him so fanatical and attentive is his "goddess".

In the eyes of the two, this kind of behavior of running out in the middle of the night to pick up stones and play romance as stars is really stupid, and even if it is done, it can only move themselves at best.

But as the other party's "follower", of course, this kind of thing is not easy to say in person, so he can only mumble casually: "Then why bother to pick it up in the wild, this kind of thing is not sold casually on the Internet."

"You know the."

The young man known as Qiyuan scolded directly, "Can the broken stones I bought online be the same as the ones I picked up myself?"

Vinia hates people who don't have sincerity the most.

Hurry up.! ”

The young man said and couldn't help but urge his companion in the driver's seat, "Hurry up, if we are caught by the patrol mecha, we will be forcibly sent to the city." ”

"The horsepower has been driven to the maximum"

"Don't talk nonsense with me, my car can reach a maximum speed of three hundred and eight per hour, how much is it now?"

Several teenagers were noisy, but the teenager who was sitting in the back row and clutching his shoulder bag did not say a word.

From time to time, he glanced back in the direction of the main city, which was getting farther and farther away from the people, and then looked at the current time, and the bottom of his ass seemed to be covered with nails, and it was difficult to sit still.

Ten minutes later, the speed of the black SUV gradually slowed down in the wilderness.

Before the car could come to a complete stop, the co-pilot's boy had already jumped out of the car and rushed towards a position directly in front of the car.

The rest of the people also got out of the car.

The group finally stood in front of a large pit of smoke.

This large crater smashed by a meteorite from the sky is only a dozen meters wide, and standing on the edge, you can see the faint fire light under the crater.

It was the first time for several people to witness the scene of this meteorite falling to the ground, and they all looked novel.

Even the most distant, cowardly teenager among the several people, seemed to have forgotten his troubles at this moment, and craned his neck beside the few people to look down curiously.

As time passed, the flames from the crater gradually died out, and the heat generated during the crash quickly decreased.

The surroundings gradually dimmed, but the bottom of the crater, which gradually "cooled", had a faint golden light shining through.

"At a depth of 17.8 meters, the temperature in the pit has dropped below 300, and the first-level protective clothing is more than enough to deal with

Looking at this meteorite light, there may be some kind of precious metal, and Vignya will definitely like it very much.

It's a pity that I can't bring out that mecha, otherwise I wouldn't have had to go so far. ”

The young man at the head of the group excitedly used the instrument he carried with him to simply measure the situation in the crater, and then took out a capsule-shaped thing from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and turned into a set of light white heavy protective clothing with a "bang".

He glanced at the two attendants beside him and asked, "You two, who will go down?" ”

The two teenagers who were taking pictures and videos of the crater with their mobile phones were stunned when they heard this.

The two looked at the young man in front of them, and then at the crater that emitted a rolling heat wave, and reluctantly smiled: "Qiyuan, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"Who is kidding you?"

The young man at the head looked at the two of them indifferently and said, "Otherwise, what are you two calling out at night?"

You can't think I'm going down in person, are you?

Stop the ink, put on your protective suit and hurry down, don't keep me waiting too long."

The two teenagers looked at each other, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, one of them spoke first: "I just drove!" You go! ”

"Me"

The other person immediately stopped, and he also wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but looking at the increasingly cold eyes of the young man in the lead, the beads of sweat on his forehead gradually oozed out.

Suddenly, he glanced to his side, and his eyes lit up.

"Let him!

Let this kid go down! Lu Shao! ”

The attendant grabbed the cowardly young man with a satchel next to him, pulled a few people to him with a rough movement, and said quickly: "This kid has been with us all the way, and he hasn't done anything, just let him go down to pick up stones." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of several people on the field suddenly fell on the cowardly young man who had never had a sense of existence.

The latter was stared at by the eyes of several people, and when he heard what they wanted to do, his expression suddenly became nervous.

suddenly broke free of the hand that grabbed his attendant, held the satchel in his arms, and turned around and ran away without saying a word.
