"Hey, it happened that night."

Xie Yuzhi saw a curious expression on his fiancé's face, and he said with a serious face:

"She said she wanted to do us a favor, in order to defeat Qiu Qimeng? While that may sound like a lie, I'd rather hear her firsthand. ”

The day after receiving the call, Xie Yuzhi had already prepared all the luggage for the alien exploration, and the three of them came to the secret base again.

“…… You'd better not contact her. ”

Xie Yuzhi subconsciously rejected the proposal.

"Why?"

"yes, why?"

Next to him, Ji Chunzao's big eyes were shining, and his face was the same curiosity.

“……”

Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but glare at her.

Jing Xing didn't know the reason, didn't she know it?

If...... If the person named Mi Ying was a strange woman like Qiu Qimeng who suddenly appeared and clung to Jing Xing, it wouldn't be good for either of them.

It's a pity that Chunzao doesn't seem to have noticed this yet.

"Ah, I see."

At this time, Yan Jingxing said with a smile.

"Are you worried that I'll be deceived? Well, you're still good at this, and you'll be able to communicate in the future. ”

“……”

Miss Xie was a little weak-hearted, so after nodding vaguely, she quickly changed the topic.

"Talking to her confirmed one thing for me." She explained the main purpose of this alien journey, "Just as a 'warrior' can use a body and a priest can communicate with an 'overlord', the king also has his own special powers, which can compete with huge enemies. ”

According to the woman, it is the power that "can shelter people from surviving even if the world is destroyed", which she calls "palace".

"'Palace'?"

Yan Jingxing felt that this title was a little strange, he recalled for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"That's right! Do you remember that dream I had before? In the dream, there is the astronaut who led us to the secret base, and there is also the future you and Haruzao......"

"Well, and the 'future me' you see is in a huge palace." Xie Yuzhi bowed slightly, "When I heard Mi Ying talk about 'palace', I immediately thought of it. ”

"The other party also provided a way to get the 'palace'...... In fact, it is not a method, it can only be regarded as a direction. According to her, all the known 'palaces' on Earth have their own homes, so if you want to get a new 'palace', in addition to taking it away from others, the only way to do it is to explore Alpha and look for the relics that have been sleeping in various places after the loss of interstellar civilizations. ”

"Is this 'palace' literal?"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but ask.

On the other side of the teleportation device at the secret base is a huge building that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, so it's okay to call it a "palace".

"I don't think so."

Miss Xie put her fingers together to support her white chin, raised her head slightly, and showed a thoughtful expression. Of course she had thought about it.

"The palace in her mouth must be a device that can move and shelter people in the end of the world, and I have a guess that it may be some kind of fortress that has both transportation and protection functions."

"For example...... Uh, some kind of big tank? Moving the city? ”

Yan Jingxing guessed.

"—for example, a spaceship?"

Ji Chunzao said.

“…… yes, if it's a spaceship, it's not an empty phrase that 'even if the earth is destroyed', right? ”

Xie Yuzhi smiled slightly.

"One thing that also comes to mind is that the 'savior' as a body has had a great impact on human history and has left behind all kinds of religious myths called 'miracles'. And among these myths, there is one legend that I care about, and that is 'Noah's Ark'. ”

The God who created the world saw that the earth was full of evil deeds and decided to destroy the world with a flood, but before the end came, he communicated the matter to a human named Noah and instructed him to build a huge ship to preserve the fire of humanity and other life on earth.

"The woman named Yonezakura may have just said it casually, but when I heard her mention that she has the power to destroy the world with Qiu Qimeng, and at the same time is sure that she can survive the destruction of the world, I think about it." Xie Yuzhi said, "The ark in this story may be a 'palace'. ”

“…… So, Noah's Ark is not an ordinary ship, but a spaceship? ”

"Hmm. But in any case, only by finding the real palace can you understand whether it is true or not. ”

"How?"

"Your use of the body, and the behavior of Chunzao and preying on the king, are all spontaneous, I think the relationship between the king and the palace should be the same, as long as you come into contact with it, you can understand."

Finally, she said one more thing...... I don't know if she guessed that we had a way to transfer to another planet, but she said we could use her channels, just keep it a secret. ”

"You refused?" Yan Jingxing asked, "If you refuse too decisively......

"- Maybe it will expose the secret of 'we have the method', I know. But I refused, because I couldn't tell if everything she said was true or false. If you want to use her channels, you definitely need to go to her territory. In case she has malicious intentions, our side will be very passive. ”

"Just make sure she's a friend of Qiu Qimeng, right? If the two of them are really friends, Miss Yonery doesn't need to stand on Qiu Qimeng's side to deceive people, after all, even if the information that the savior can be infinitely resurrected and destroy the world is fake, I still can't beat Qiu Qimeng; But if this statement is said in reverse, it is very credible. ”

"You want to make sure these two are really friends? How? ”

"Just ask the person directly."

“……？”

Seeing Xie Yuzhi's puzzled expression, Yan Jingxing stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to show something, and let the prototype's bone armor wrap around his arm.

"I only noticed it when I tried to transform before. Didn't Qiu Qimeng say that she left 'traces' on me? I'm afraid that's it. ”

A small, white wing grows out of a gap in the armor.

Yan Jingxing stroked it, and then the wings shook like life. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know if she can't do it, or if she just didn't want to hide it from me, but I can feel that the wing is already entangled with the body's neural network. Moreover, it can also send corresponding nerve signals to contact the other ......"

Xie Yuzhi's face changed slightly, and he pressed his hand.

"Forget it."

"Huh?"

Yan Jingxing looked at her with some surprise.

"There's no need to contact that woman."

Miss Xie said with a serious expression.

"Ask for help from the enemy, and only do it when you are cornered."

“…… Well, I see. ”

Yan Jingxing nodded, and finally gave up.

*

"Here we are."

After a whirlwind, the three of them in the secret base set foot on the land of another planet again.

After the first experience, the young people no longer panicked, skillfully changed their clothes, stayed in their luggage, and left the room.

In addition, they are no longer ordinary humans who are powerless to resist, so they are very comfortable along the way.

"Finally—"

Came into the world again.

Xie Yuzhi took a deep breath and realized that the air here was indeed no different from that on Earth.

They walked upwards along the uninhabited passage, the entire ruins still as silent as a tomb.

"Speaking of which, there really isn't a single person in this place...... The existence of the Alfa is only on the frescoes. Where the hell did they go? Is it really extinct? ”

"I've asked that question before. As for the cause of the annihilation of the Alpha civilization, the prevailing opinion at first was that the 'invasive alien species' and their leader, the 'Overlord', destroyed them, because their existence was mentioned in the materials, murals, and books excavated in several ruins, and the Alpha Person's panic could be felt about it...... However, after the secrets such as the body and the palace were gradually revealed, everyone realized that the later alpha civilization had theoretically the possibility of being able to resist the overlord, and indeed gave birth to a sufficiently powerful body, such as the 'savior'. ”

"So, some people began to think that there was a deeper reason behind the destruction of civilization, such as civil strife, for example, that the entire civilization was actually annihilated by an overwhelmingly powerful element. The most suspicious object here is also the "Savior", after all, there is such a name as the "final suppression device". ”

"There are also people who feel that the Alpha civilization has not perished at all, but has only suffered some damage. The surviving Alpha is still hiding somewhere on this planet, after all, human exploration of Alpha is limited to a very small extent, and according to estimates, the volume and land surface area of this planet is far larger than that of Earth. ”

Yan Jingxing stroked the mural next to him.

"So, you haven't encountered a living Arfa so far?"

"That's right. If the aliens were encountered, the argument would cease to exist. But in fact, all people find is the remains they left behind......"

"In short, in fact, what the insiders on Earth are doing at the moment is no different from that of tomb robbers, except that the object is an alien grave. Every unusual discovery has the potential to be an opportunity and a cornerstone for the next leap forward in Earth technology, but such an opportunity is very rare. ”

As they talked, they came to the door.

"Finally ......"

Yan Jingxing pushed open the door without hesitation.

The average height of the trees is more than 20 meters, and the whole forest is lush and huge.

Based on last experience, every tree in the forest seems to possess a certain level of intelligence, and the entire complex root system constitutes a huge life form.

"But they didn't seem to mean to thwart us this time."

No, let alone obstruction...... They didn't even make a sound, they were as quiet as the trees on earth, and they were completely unmanic. The noise that would have made a loud wave when trying to intimidate them was gone, and even the lines on the skin of the tree that closely resembled human faces were kind to the eye.

At this time, Ji Chunzao, who was feeling something carefully, suddenly smiled.

"I can feel their 'emotions', these trees are afraid of Jing Xing, so they don't dare to make too much noise."

"Is that so?"

Yan Jingxing looked at the forest in amazement, the trees swaying their branches gently, as if they were welcoming guests from another distant planet.
