mother of all races

Of course, it was impossible for that statue to come to life.

After confronting that thing for more than ten seconds, Lin Xi fought a cold war, and then woke up - the extreme darkness and silence will cause various psychological problems, stress, tension, fear and others.

And Lin Xi felt that it was undoubtedly for this reason that he was so frightened by an inexplicable fossil sculpture that his spirit was tense.

"Who would have thought that I would miss your nagging now, Bryce."

Lin Xi secretly rejoiced in his heart that only he himself would know about the useless scene just now.

The daring Lin Xi would feel uneasy and creepy because of a silent fossil sculpture?

Even a few hours ago, if someone told Lin Xi that, Lin Xi would definitely think that that person must have been damaged by the radiation in space.

Lin Xi collected himself, then glanced over the sculpture, and began to go around the warehouse to continue inspecting the miserable scene of cargo damage.

It is a relief that only that sculpture is the most problematic.The plants and other small animals produced in Sunu, the cultural relics of the Sunu royal family, and a large amount of precious metals are all intact in the container.

"Whoa, man, it looks like those damn alloys are on you."

After inspecting all the goods, Lin Xi forced herself to ignore the faint resistance in her heart, and returned to the side of the fossil sculpture.

He needs to check the condition of this thing more carefully, after all, it is the only thing that slipped out of the storage in the whole warehouse.

Moreover, it is also the most valuable of the "goods" this time.

The surface of the fossil sculpture is intact, but the insulating gel that coats it is drying.

And in those parts, the surface color of the fossils began to gradually darken and oxidize, and the degree was not very serious, but those light spots were hard to ignore.

"I can bet you that if that fellow Taran saw you like this, he would probably have a nervous breakdown on the spot."

Lin Xi manipulated the mecha hard and clumsily, and wiped some isolation gel left on the ground on the fossils, while muttering softly to the weird chrysalis in sight.

The touch of fossils was transmitted to Lin Xi's fingertips through the mecha's sensing system, and that weird feeling was somewhat indescribable.

Completely different from the softness perceived by vision, the fossils of the Sunu people feel hard and rough to the touch, as if there are many scales or bumps invisible to the naked eye on its surface, and those isolation gels give it Brings some subtle stickiness and creaminess...

"That bastard Taran should come and feel this thing for himself..."

It was so quiet in the warehouse, Lin Xi almost subconsciously started talking to himself in order to relieve the overwhelming stagnation and silence.

But even so, as soon as he stopped speaking, the silence would sweep again.

Lin Xi could even hear the sound of his blood flowing in his blood vessels. That kind of gurgling sound can easily make people nervous in this environment, because it really sounds like something is wriggling inside his body .

Oh shit, squirm.

A strange picture appeared in his mind.

It was a wriggling, indistinct lump of flesh.

There are also some brightly colored stains.

Lin Xi trembled slightly because of the unexpected imagination.

He vaguely remembered that what he recalled just now was a scene from a nightmare of his own.

Well, it can be said that the truth is out.

Lin Xi glanced at the weird and strange fossil sculpture again, it probably made him feel so terrified because it looked so much like something in his nightmare.

But in general, he didn't think too much about it.

Lin Xi never thinks too much, and he is not Bryce.

He quickly brushed aside the meaningless things in his mind, and then focused on his damn mission.

Of course, Lin Xi could use the device to record everything in the warehouse, and then turn around and leave like that.

After the situation stabilizes, other people will slowly climb down from the top and deal with the mess in the warehouse.However, according to Lin Xi's observation, the condition of the sculpture is indeed a bit bad. Who knows if it will be exposed to the outside like this will affect the weird activity inside it, and then affect the "" What about the secretion of ground milk?

Lin Xi found a lot of spare storage in the warehouse on the upper floor, but the power needed to re-press the thing into the slot and inject the isolation gel cannot be provided by the built-in battery of the light mecha.

Alyssa must have noticed something faintly, so she reminded him to restart the system settings.

This woman's sixth sense is sometimes so sensitive that it feels like some kind of superpower.

Lin Xi sighed resignedly, and retreated from the warehouse on the b-3 floor.

However, at the moment when he was about to turn around, a gloomy gaze landed on his back.

Lin Xi turned around suddenly.

It was still so quiet in the warehouse.

Only the sculpture was still wet, lying peacefully on the ground motionless, and the hideous carved face seemed to be looking at Lin Xi.

"..."

Lin Xi swore that she really didn't like the things carved by the Sunu people.

He slammed the warehouse door shut (unnecessarily though) and moved quickly toward the machinery room.Whether he wants to admit it or not, his movements are much faster than before.

From the bottom of her heart, Lin Xi didn't want to stay on the b-3 floor and stay with that ghost.

Fortunately, the progress of things has become much smoother at this stage.

At least solving the system failure is easier than Lin Mao thought.

Yes, as Alyssa reminded, the system just freezes instead of burning. ("God, I'm really falling in love with you, Alisa..." Lin Xi muttered.)

After a short while of debugging that even Lin Xi could complete, Lin Xi suddenly pulled down the heavy switch, once, and then again, and then the delightful buzzing sound from various mechanical parts immediately sounded up.

Lin Xi returned to the b-2 floor, carried off the unused storage containers and isolation gel, then he was out of breath, and exhaustedly opened the warehouse door.

Then, staring at everything in front of him, his mind suddenly went blank.

The statue remains in place.

Just like what he saw when he left.

However, the sufficient light at this moment makes it look...

Very scary.

Dark oxidation traces could already be seen on the surface of the sculpture before, and during the short period of time Lin Xi left, those oxidation traces had obviously turned dark brown.

And the source of the special feeling before became clear—Lin Xi could see obvious ring-shaped crustaceans emerging from the sculpture's pupa-like body.

"...I didn't know that the isolation gel is such an important thing."

After a while, Lin Xi could speak dryly to himself.

Things are a little tricky.

Of course, strictly speaking, the trouble of this matter has nothing to do with Lin Xi, his mission records can explain everything, but even so, Lin Xi still feels a little heavy when he looks at the statue that has obviously changed.

For the first time in his life, he regretted that he always dozed off in history class. Otherwise, he might have been able to search for some useful information from the depths of his memory to explain the strange shape of the fossil.

But now, staring at the increasingly terrifying and disgusting fossils, the only thing he could think of was the most basic concepts about the Sunu people.

The Sunu love bugs.

It is more correct to say that the lives of the Sunu are closely related to the bugs.

Their food, clothing, production materials, medicines, and even their religious beliefs are all based on bugs.

Even their most worshiped god, the C'tan, took the form of a gigantic worm.

Uh... It's similar to the sculpture in front of him.

Lin Xi took several deep breaths, then calmed down a little.

In any case, the first thing to do is to put the sculpture back in those storage containers, and then fill it with insulating gel.

Lin Xi had already seen with his own eyes what would happen to the damned sculpture without a sufficient amount of isolation gel, and he didn't intend to make things worse.

However, now that I have seen the different appearance of this Sunu fossil sculpture with my own eyes, the psychological pressure when I put it back is much greater than before.

Lin Xi was disgusted enough.

The touch of the sculpture is still hard and rough, but the dried isolation gel has become more sticky.

Moreover, the capacity of the spare storage is smaller than the original one, and it took Lin Xi a lot of effort to force the sculpture into it.

Several times, he even suspected that he was about to burst the sculpture's bulging, slightly protruding abdomen—but every time he found that it was just that he was too nervous.

"I'm so sorry, I wanted to say I really didn't mean to but...oh...god..."

Lin Xi chanted desperately to the sculpture in the empty warehouse.

He seemed to see a row of curly appendages under those carapace-like shells that he couldn't tell what they were?

Now Lin Xi somehow understands why the group of Sunu people went crazy - if the object of his daily worship also looks like this, he may go crazy earlier than the group of Sunu people.

It was not until the container made a "beep" sound after being sealed, and then watched the isolation gel fill all the gaps, that Lin Mao suddenly let out a breath.

Only then did he realize that he was holding his breath involuntarily.

"Oh, that's awesome, halfway through life, to finally find out that I'm afraid of bugs—"

Lin Xi said to herself.

He really didn't want to admit it, even the sculpture that was shaken in the container because of the injection of the gel made him almost scream out.
