After Lomus 3 was forced to land, Xincheng followed the emergency plan and first checked the damage of Lomus 3. The result was very dismal.
Originally, the Lomus 3 was designed and manufactured for long-distance voyages. What matters is its large belly to carry more supplies and fly farther. In terms of skin and flesh, it is far inferior to fighter jets.
It fell from the air and fell very miserably.
Although it has not been torn apart or broken into pieces, it is not intact either. There are hundreds of red alarms indicating malfunctions on the light screen. The power furnace has stalled, the engine cannot start, and even the communication antenna has broken.
Xincheng made a prompt decision and sent people to survey the surroundings to see if there was any danger. At the same time, he carried out emergency repairs on Lomus 3. He wanted to restore the power of Lomus 3 so that it could fly again and restore the communication function. He tried to find a way to communicate with
Contact the headquarters and send out a distress signal no matter what.
Then bad luck struck. After the two crew members who went out to survey the surroundings came back, they all gathered together to eat. However, when one of the crew members named Ito reached for something, there was a bright red and pink mushroom on his exposed wrist.
Enoki mushrooms are not much bigger.
"What's this?"
Another crew member for Matsuda curiously stretched out his hand and pulled it, which made Ito feel a sting. His arm subconsciously shrank back, and the mushroom was suddenly pulled off, leaving a small red mark on his wrist, which was obvious.
A piece of skin the size of a pencil is missing.
The two of them studied together and determined that the mushroom was really growing on the skin. They felt something bad and quickly took the mushroom to Xincheng.
When Xincheng learned about it, he also took it seriously. Mushrooms growing on the skin were not a good thing at all. Don't think he was infected with an alien virus. He should be isolated and checked quickly.
Fortunately, the medical equipment was still usable, but before the results came out, Matsuda felt itchy on the back of his right hand. When he raised his hand, he was shocked because he didn't know when a hole with the same appearance and color as Ito's was drilled out of the back of his hand.
, it’s just a much smaller mushroom, and this hand was the mushroom that grabbed Ito’s wrist.
Things are serious.
There is no need to worry about anything else. The safety of the two crew members is the most important thing.
Xincheng asked Taguchi to treat the two of them, while he tried his best to repair the communication system to restore contact with the headquarters as soon as possible and ask the headquarters to send people over as soon as possible.
But before he could put up the communication antenna, Taguchi reported bad news. More mushrooms grew on Ito and Matsuda, like bamboo shoots after the rain, very fast, and Ito and Matsuda's spirits
Also a little dazed.
When Shinjo rushed back to the medical room, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. More than ten mushrooms appeared on the faces and necks of Ito and Matsuda. However, Ito and Matsuda were lying motionless on the bed, their eyes staring straight.
Staring at the ceiling, Xincheng called to them several times before they replied vaguely. This look was abnormal.
Taguchi suggested moving them outside to avoid infection inside the spacecraft, so Shinjo and Taguchi put on protective clothing, moved them outside, and set up a temporary tent.
During this period, Taguchi also told what he learned from Ito and Matsuda. When Ito was surveying outside, he collected samples along the way according to past situations, and found something he had never seen before, the size of marble.
It is almost the same as a pier. If you look carefully, it is made up of several gray-white vines intertwined, and the gaps are filled with a translucent substance like rosin.
Ito poked it first, but there was no movement, then touched it with his hand. It was soft like jelly, and then collected the sample. The hand that first grew the mushroom was the hand that touched the mushroom.
Xincheng also looked at it from a distance, and the thing that was probably the culprit was still there. The vines were entangled inside, and they were emitting a faint light like a filament, but flowing like water.
Xincheng followed the light and saw that the light came along the vines, exchanged with other vines in amber, and then went away into the distance.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely not simple.
Knowing this, Xincheng quickly stopped him when he saw Asuka Shin approaching the thing.
After listening to Xincheng's story, Chiba Cheng immediately said: "Where is that thing?"
"There, just go over this slope." Xincheng raised his hand and pointed to the back.
"Let's go and have a look."
Qianye Cheng said and walked quickly over at the lead.
The others hurriedly followed. Xincheng looked back at the crew members he had brought out but could not take back. He tightened his grip on the Brest gun and strode to follow.
Soon, Chiba Makoto saw the thing that Xincheng mentioned. It was bulging like a bag growing from the earth, but there was no brilliance flowing around it.
"It only lights up occasionally," Xincheng followed up and said, "I tried placing detectors and monitors, but they quickly failed, as if there was electromagnetic interference, which caused great damage to electronic instruments."
This was indeed the case, because Qianye Cheng saw that there were several expensive instruments and equipment near the 'pier', but they were stuck on the ground dimly like scrap metal.
Because it might be the source of infection, we couldn't get too close, so everyone just watched from a distance, but what could we tell from this?
Seeing that the matter seemed to have reached a deadlock, Feiniao Xin, who was still angry in his heart, directly raised his hand and aimed at it, saying: "Why do you keep such a bad thing, smash it."
When he finished speaking, he had already pulled the trigger. From a distance of dozens of meters, he shot the strange big bag and exploded immediately.
"Asuka, you..." Yumimura was shocked, but it was too late to stop him. He suddenly had a new understanding of this guy's recklessness. He didn't know anything, so why did he shoot so recklessly?
Woolen cloth.
Shinjo and Chiba Makoto also turned to look over, and saw the anger still lingering on Asuka Shin's face, as if he felt that this was not enough to dispel the hatred in his heart, and then the ground shook.
It was rumbling up and down, shaking people to the point of losing their balance.
"What's going on?"
There was no need to wait for anyone to answer, his eyes told everyone the answer, because the ground in front of him cracked, and then a huge head came out of the ground.
The gray-black triangular head is covered with vines, and some vines even penetrate from the nose, ears and even eyes, giving people the impression that the head is also covered with vines.
Then the body that crawled out was also covered with vines, which could be seen with the naked eye burrowing into the flesh, and these vines also had flowing lights, like lightning, running through the vines.
Although it passed in the blink of an eye, you could see that some streams of light came out of the vines connected to the head, while others flew from the limbs to the head.
