At this time, the asteroid was no longer the same one as before. The entire asteroid was hollowed out and connected to the Shipponi.
The interior of the asteroid has been hollowed out, and construction of a new functional cabin for the spacecraft has begun.
According to the plan, it will be initially completed in three months. At that time, the functional module will become part of the Shiponi, and the outer shell of the asteroid can be discarded.
At that time, all that's left is internal construction, which won't pose much danger.
Chitaki put the backpack materials on the ground and drove the miner towards the temporary hangar built on the asteroid. It should be considered close to early morning.
Aina and Jones also unloaded the transported materials and walked towards the hangar.
The three of them got off the miner, and Jones suggested, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat something and take a rest."
Aina replied, "Let's go."
Jones looked at Qiantaki and said, "Young man, why don't we come together?"
Chitaki touched his stomach and found that he was indeed very hungry, so he replied.
"good."
The three of them walked towards the restaurant of the asteroid temporary lounge. Although it was early in the morning, it was the time for shift handover, and the restaurant was particularly lively.
You can even see many combat personnel who are on leave coming to have a meal together.
Jones ordered three side dishes and three bowls of fragrant rice.
"My treat."
Aina looked at Jones with some surprise and said, "When did you become so generous?"
Jones lit a cigarette and took a puff and said, "You didn't realize that I was lonely for a month, so of course I am rich."
"The relationship is good. If you participate in more tasks like this in the future, your pocket will naturally bulge." Aina said.
"Stop it, I'll get depressed."
Chitaki raised his head and looked at Jones out of curiosity, "You don't make enough to spend your money?"
Jones said with a hint of sadness, "Eat your food well and don't talk. Although we are in the same team, it is very embarrassing that you, a newcomer, have lost your income."
"I know it's not a bad thing to be embarrassed. Since you can't surpass it, just save a little." Aina said.
"Forget it, don't mention it. Those bastards haven't been looking for trouble lately, right?" Jones suddenly asked.
Aina said nonchalantly, "I can find something, unless I don't want to do it anymore."
"Right."
Chitaki asked curiously, "Do we have any issues with them?"
Jones corrected him, "Please correct me, it's them who have a problem with Aina and me, it has nothing to do with you."
"I understand." Chitaki replied.
"Let's eat and get some rest early. There's still a lot of work ahead of us," Aina said.
The three of them lowered their heads to eat.
In a toilet, a figure stood there, and his skin continued to squirm. The figure twisted its neck, opened its mouth, and emitted inaudible infrasound waves.
At this time, there was a sudden huge explosion and the ceiling collapsed.
"Get down." Chitaki reacted immediately.
Huan opened his mouth and prompted, "Warning of Heygers energy reaction."
The collapsed ceiling fell directly near Chitaki, smashing a team of resting combatants into pulp.
Chitaki looked over and saw no strange creatures.
At this time, Huan said, "Enable scanning mode."
A phantom outline suddenly appeared in Chitaki's eyes. These strange people have the ability to camouflage.
I saw the surviving people around me standing up in panic and suddenly letting out screams, their eyes looking puzzled as to how they died.
When he lowered his head and looked at his abdomen, he saw that he had been penetrated and the blood began to be sucked out.
Being sucked on blood caused the tentacles to appear.
"ah!"
The man watched with his own eyes as his plump body turned into a shriveled corpse.
Chitaki's bracelet rang, "Reminder: We were attacked by an unknown species of Qijuzi. All workers took refuge and the combatants began to collect."
Aina and Jones got up, and Aina shouted directly, "Go to the hangar."
Chitaki shook his head and said, "The intersection was blocked."
Jones looked over with a dark face, "Is there nothing at other intersections?"
In Chitaki's eyes, there was an ugly strange creature occupying the intersection, but it was just invisible to the naked eye.
Aina reacted immediately, "It's disguised. Let's go through the ventilation duct. Follow me."
After speaking, Aina led the two of them and ran towards the storage room at the back.
"Are you sure the ventilation ducts can be reached? You have to know that if this place is attacked, the equipment will be paralyzed soon, and we will be exposed to space. Although we are wearing protective clothing, the time of this protective clothing is limited.
" Jones reminded.
Aina said, "Staying here is nourishment."
Chitaki strongly agreed and said, "Instead of waiting for rescue, it is better to give it a try. Those miners at least still have some fighting ability."
"Damn it, I don't know what those guys did or why they were broken in."
"You will question these questions when you survive." Aina said coldly.
The three of them rushed into the storage room, and Jones quickly pushed the box next to him.
Chitaki also helped push other boxes over.
The two boxes were stacked together. Aina stepped directly on top of the box, then grabbed the protective net on the upper vent and pulled it, but it was firmly fixed, and it was useless no matter how hard Aina pulled it.
"Tools," Aina shouted.
Jones was tidying up and found a wrench and handed it to Aina.
Aina tried her best to hit the upper protective net with a wrench, and the entire protective net was deformed.
Chitaki said seriously at this time, "I'll do it."
Aina didn't show any pretense, she jumped down directly and handed the wrench to Chitaki.
Chitaki jumped up with a wrench, swung the big wrench and hit it hard.
There was a harsh impact sound, and the entire protective net broke directly.
"Such a lot of strength." Aina was also very shocked.
Chitaki knocked down the protective net in a few clicks, then took the lead and climbed in.
He took a deep breath and found that the air was starting to get thinner.
"Let's go, we don't have much time."
Aina and Jones climbed in one after another.
"Where to go?" In fact, Gen has already given the route, but Chitaki still chooses to ask, which is more reasonable.
"Go forward and turn left." Aina's memory is also very good, and the route given is consistent with the phantom scan.
The ventilation duct was not very spacious, and the three of them had to stoop forward.
Moreover, it was shaking violently, causing the three of them to bump into the surrounding metal pipe walls.
It can be seen that the attack was very violent.
After the shaking ended, the three of them stabilized themselves and continued walking forward.
Then a super strong shock hit, and Aina was knocked backwards. Chitaki hugged Aina with one hand, stepped on the left pipe wall with one foot, and supported the right pipe wall with her right hand, forcing herself to push through.
Jones, who was walking behind Chitaki, was not so lucky. He hit the wall and made a big gash on his forehead.
After the shock ended, Chitaki let go of his hand.
Aina couldn't help but glance at Qiantaki, then looked at Jones and asked, "Are you okay?"
