On the planet Demon 2, there is yellow sand everywhere, and there are canyons and ravines bigger than cities.
A god puppet T800 is walking in this endless yellow sand with a signal locator, leaving a lonely line of footprints on it.
He had been walking like this for a long, long time. If he hadn't been wearing a timing device, he might not have known that he had been walking here for 72 hours.
In order to find the puppets on the other two sets of spaceships, he searched little by little, hoping that he could find those companions who had reached the surface of the planet or crashed onto the surface of the planet.
The God Puppet can fly, and its stored energy allows him to fly in the sky for several days. In the past 24 hours, he had indeed been flying and searched a large area of the planet's surface.
However, as time went by, he no longer dared to squander his energy. He was afraid that he would not find a companion and would be paralyzed on a strange planet.
If he was really a person, he might have gone crazy by now... He might have already fallen into deep despair when facing such an empty environment.
This is indeed a desperate thing. I am alone, in a place where there are yellow sand everywhere, canyons and ravines everywhere, and not even a living thing, looking for companions who may not even exist.
"Hiss..." There was a violent current interference sound in his earphones. On this planet, communication signals are not covered at all times and in all places.
Therefore, he and his captain could only talk to each other once every 12 hours. During the rest of the time, he could only hear an almost endless chatter of interference in his ears.
However, the time is about to reach 72 hours, so the contact between the two of them may be restored at any time.
Sure enough, in the next second, the current interference sound in the earphones became fainter, and a vague voice came: "9218...Call 9218...I am 1336, I am 1336...Please answer if you hear me, please answer if you hear me."
."
The god puppet numbered 9218 pressed the switch of the intercom and responded: "I am Captain 9218! 1336, I can hear your voice!"
The batteries and magic energy crystals carried in his space suit are enough for him to continue using it for a few more days, and the oxygen stored in the space suit is also enough for him to use it for a long time.
Anyway, as a god puppet, unlike humans, strenuous exercise will cause the oxygen consumption rate to increase. No matter how he moves, the oxygen consumption rate is constant.
Because of this, he can accurately calculate the time when he will be scrapped. This is like a person who can accurately know the time of his own death, which is a very cruel thing.
After a while, the captain on the other side of the earphone heard the response from puppet No. 9218, and responded again: "I didn't find anything here. How is the situation over there?"
"I didn't find anything here..." God Puppet No. 9218 replied with a message that made both himself and the other party even more frustrated.
In fact, they also knew that this kind of search was just the final confirmation of some bad news. If their companions were still there and there were no accidents, they would have discovered each other by now.
After all, if the opponent lands successfully and there are no accidents on the spacecraft, these spacecraft will definitely transmit location signals to facilitate other puppet troops to find each other.
Of course, the premise is that it doesn't hit the ground directly like the spacecraft they were riding in, and all the equipment was damaged and the signal was unable to be transmitted.
Now, they have not found similar signals, which means that those spacecraft were either damaged when landing, or that they did not land on this planet at all.
There are many reasons for this situation, such as the wake-up device not starting on time, or other malfunctions in the spacecraft itself...
Or even worse, during the long flight to the Demonic Domain 2 planet, these spacecraft were hit by meteorites, or their orbits deviated, or there was a mechanical failure, and they were directly destroyed midway.
Anyway, these spacecraft did not arrive here - because if everything goes well with these spacecraft, then there will definitely be a signal sent out for them to receive.
"It stands to reason that we should be the third backup team to arrive on this planet... If the 1st and 2nd teams successfully launch their mission, our Tree of Life seeds will not sprout..."
Only one seed of the Tree of Life can be planted on a planet, which is determined by the characteristics of the Tree of Life. So if other groups plant the Tree of Life first, then 9218 and their mission will not succeed.
It is a pity that they succeeded. This also shows from another perspective that the previous two groups of god puppets had accidents and failed to complete their tasks.
God Puppet No. 1336 was silent for a few seconds, and then continued: "We can still search for two more days. If we can't find it... we will have to return to our spaceship base."
"I have no objection." After the answer from God Puppet No. 9218, the two of them chatted about some path selection issues, and then the call was once again interrupted due to interference.
"Perhaps, it would be more appropriate for me to go back now." Puppet No. 9218 smiled to himself, scanned the nearby terrain with his smiling mask, and then continued to move forward helplessly.
As he walked toward a canyon in the distance, Puppet No. 1336 discovered a deep ravine.
This is not a naturally formed ravine, but is obviously a ravine caused by an external impact. Because the sand here is almost stationary, this gully has always been clearly placed here and has not been buried.
He walked along the ravine for a few meters, and behind a huge stone, he saw a steel plate whose surface had been burned to the point of melting.
"By the gods..." He walked to the iron plate, knelt down on one knee, and stroked the edge of the slightly deformed steel plate with his hand.
There are neat rows of rivet structures there, and there are some signs on them to pay attention to the direction when disassembling.
This is definitely the shell of a spaceship. The traces on it indicate that after entering the atmosphere of the Demonic Domain 2 planet, the spacecraft also had problems and may have disintegrated in the air, destroying a considerable part of it.
"What the hell!" He stood up, looked around, and then quickly flew towards the direction where he guessed the spacecraft crashed.
He no longer cared about conserving his own energy, so his speed increased extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, he rushed to another deep ravine.
The ravine was more obvious, and there were still some burn marks left in the ravine. At the end of the ravine, puppet No. 1336 found something he was familiar with, which was the most important cargo on the spacecraft...
Yes, he saw the huge transport box containing the seeds of the Tree of Life. A large part of the outside of the container had been burned due to the high temperature, but the internal structure was very well preserved.
Even if you open this container, the seeds of the Tree of Life inside can still be used.
But...if even this strongest part, the thickest part, has become like this, you can imagine what the spacecraft carrying this device has become now.
God Puppet No. 1336 continued to walk forward, and the miserable appearance of the spaceship had already appeared in his mind.
Sure enough, when he saw the spaceship, the spaceship that was supposed to be in the shape of a cannonball had changed beyond recognition.
He walked closer and saw that the original structure had been distorted, and the wreckage of the spacecraft was scattered everywhere. Burned wires were exposed in some places, and the internal equipment had long been destroyed.
The rising yellow sand buried half of the head of the spacecraft, and the hatch had already flown to an unknown place.
God Puppet No. 1336 walked closer to the spacecraft and saw the exploded cockpit from the exposed hatch.
The safety seats that held the astronauts in place were still where they were supposed to be, but the cushions on them had been burned to nothing but black residue.
The spacesuit that was burned to only the flame-supporting seat belts fixed to the safety seat was also dilapidated due to fires and explosions, and the black golden eagle national emblem that was burned by the fire could still be vaguely seen on it.
Desperately, God Puppet No. 1336 got into the interior of the spacecraft and used his hands to push aside the hanging wires. He came to the side of the two pilots and confirmed that the two God Puppet had been completely destroyed.
The distorted smiling face mask that was burned by the fire can still be vaguely distinguished, and the bodies wrapped in the space suits have also turned into molten scrap metal.
The rune carvings that should have been very exquisite are now unrecognizable. The computer motherboard and chips installed in the body, as well as the magic crystal installation structure, were also burned due to the high temperature.
Obviously, these two god puppets were not awakened before the entire spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Demon Domain 2.
They lay quietly inside the spacecraft until the spacecraft hit the atmosphere and automatically turned on the deceleration equipment. Until the final crash, they were not activated and woken up.
Because once the wake-up is activated, they will manually deal with some mechanical problems, which will prevent the spacecraft from landing in such an awkward manner.
Moreover, even if they land in embarrassment, they cannot be destroyed so easily. Because they are god puppets, they are "non-living entities" that can perform magic defense and are difficult to be destroyed by burning flames.
"Your failure is meaningful... I would like to ask you both to rest in peace, because your mission has been completed!" Standing there, God Puppet No. 1336 looked at the two companions who could never stand up again, and said slightly
