mother of all races

When she returned to the upper floor, Lin Xi was already exhausted physically and mentally.

Lin Xi thought that staying in the warehouse area and being scared to death by a Sunu fossil sculpture was bad enough, but when he managed to climb back to area f where the crew lived and worked, he realized that the situation here was no better than the warehouse.

For a moment, Lin Xi couldn't even decide which one was more frightening, the weird fossil sculpture in the warehouse in Area B, or a crazy Bryce.

What Lin Xi saw when he emerged from the tunnel was exactly the scene where Bryce was trying to stuff himself into another light mining robot.

He didn't expect to see Bryce. After all, according to the current situation, Bryce should be dizzy in the medical room at this time.

And another familiar man was standing next to Bryce, trying to persuade him.

The man had curly brown hair and thick dark circles under his eyes. Lin Xi only needed to glance at him to recognize his technician, Sith Lime.

By the way, Sith Lime is also a senior member of the "daily curse and humiliate Taran organization" on the Helios, and his relationship with the Bryce brothers can be called quite good.

It's just that at this time, he should have stood in front of the electronic screen and compared the star map in despair, instead of trying in vain to pull Bryce out of the mining robot with a tired face.

The scene where the two men are pulling and pulling is not very good.

Fortunately, when Lin Xi came up, the movement was loud enough. Hearing the voice from the entrance of the passage, the two of them immediately noticed him.

Bryce's legs were still stepping on the ridiculous orange jumpsuit, but his body had already turned around. He looked at Lin Xi, his eyes suddenly widened.

Then the big man immediately yelled at Lin Xi.

"God, it's you, right? It's you!"

"Damn it, I said you shouldn't go alone, man, are you hurt? What the hell is down there—"

"Well, the warehouse area is not a big problem except that it's a bit dark... I... I think so..."

Lin Xi was frightened by Bryce's terrifying expression that seemed to collapse in the next second.

He jumped out of the Slavic light mecha in a panic, took off the helmet and clamped it under his armpit, and answered Bryce's question in a daze.

"Those crying and screaming—"

In the next second, Bryce rushed over while yelling words that made Lin Xi completely puzzled.

He almost tripped over the onesie, but he didn't seem to care about it.

Before Lin Xi had time to react, Bryce clasped his shoulder firmly.The man's body trembled slightly, like a nervous single mother, carefully checking everything about Lin Xi up and down.

"Hey hey man, calm down, what's going on?"

Lin Xi took a step back and asked with a frown.

He was sure that if he was a cat, he would have started to raise his tail and grin at this time.

"For God's sake, Bryce, hold your nerves, you're scaring him..."

Thankfully, Sith followed Bryce to Lin Xi's side.

Then it was he who rescued Lin Xi from Bryce's clutches.

Siss pulled Lin Xi and let him stay behind him, and he used his body to block between Lin Xi and Bryce.

"Bryce, come back to reality and see your brother, he is more than three years old, so there is no need to make such a fuss." Six

Sith said to Bryce helplessly.

"If you were a woman, I swear I would propose to you!"

Hiding behind Sith's thin body like bean sprouts, Lin Xi whispered to him gratefully.

Sith Lime turned his head slightly, and from Lin Xi's angle, he could just see the wry smile on his face.

"Oh, please, don't you think your reputation isn't bad enough? By the way, your good brother is just a little freaked out, and he's understandably nervous in this damn situation..." He paused , then turned around, and stretched out his hand towards Lin Xi, "Can you show me the helmet? I want to check your communicator—"

"Huh? A helmet?"

Lin Xi blinked, and immediately handed the heavy, worn-out, scratched helmet of the Slavic light mecha to Sith.

"Is your comm off?"

Sith asked.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Ah, yes, this damn communication stopped working after a short while, so I turned it off-oh, my God, I'm so stupid, I should turn it off after the system restarts. It opened," Lin Xi noticed the expressions of Sith and Bryce while speaking, "Wait, what happened?"

"This is..."

Sith rubbed his nose, then drew out his voice.

If it wasn't for Sith's explanation, Lin Xi suspected that he might have to fight Bryce before he could figure out the reason for this oolong.

For Lin Xi, it was very simple. He suddenly lost communication with Bryce and others, but he really didn't care too much about it.Just like what he complained before, these Slavic light mechas are old things left over from the era of great exploration. Such a thing that has been in disrepair for a long time, it is quite normal for communication failures.

But for Bryce and others in area f, the situation is not that simple.

"...Our communication here has been online, but suddenly, your voice disappeared, and then another voice appeared." Sith explained calmly, "And the voice sounds a bit strange."

He paused, looked at Lin Xi's expression, and then continued: "...It's as if someone has been hiding in your helmet whimpering, screaming, and panting."

Lin Xi made an exaggerated grimace.

"Well, this sounds really scary." But he couldn't see the slightest seriousness on his face, "It's probably the problem with the damn communicator, the message was sent out but was blocked by the barrier facility, and finally formed an electronic pulse —what you hear is probably just a noise caused by those pulses."

Sith shrugged with that expression as if he hadn't woken up: "That's right, I thought so too."

After the voice fell, Sith looked at Bryce, who was standing aside with a livid face.

"I told you a long time ago, those strange sounds are just pure noise."

He yawned.

Of course, Sith didn't describe the sounds they heard too much—even from the perspective of a technician, Sith had to admit that the sound sounded weird and disgusting.

It was also for this reason that when Bryce lost his mind and dragged him here from the star map room to check the data of Lin Xi's mecha, he refrained from losing his temper with his long-time friend.

"Do not--"

Bryce muttered, he was still looking at Lin Xi.

"...I can swear to you, except for the communication problem, everything is going well with my work down there. I have not been infected by a strange alien virus, nor have I been bitten by a monster crawling out of the dark. I am intact, Alive and alive, I'm pretty sure of that."

After listening to Sith's statement, Lin Xi rubbed the base of his nose, and then said to Bryce with a headache.

Under his repeated emphasis, Bryce finally calmed down.

"Sorry, I was just a little scared, after all, the voice sounded... not normal."

Bryce wiped his face with some embarrassment, then he forced a smile and explained to Lin Xi and Sith.

"In all the years I've flown on so many ships, I've never heard such an eerie noise."

He said.

Lynch shrugged.

"This accident has caused you too much psychological pressure." Lin Xi excused his brother, and then he smiled wryly and raised his hand at Bryce, "If you don't mind, I think I need Change clothes for yourself, damn it, the Slavic series of light mechas are anti-human... Then I have to report to Taran, that guy won't like what I see below..."

The more she talked about Lin Xi, the more serious her headache became.

"I wish you could squeeze me a painkiller before I go to Taran, my dear Bryce, if I could."

he said casually.

But before Bryce could answer him, Sith spoke first.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be looking for that bastard at this time, especially if the situation is not good..."

He gave Lin Xi a look.

"You can go to rest for a while, I think you are also very tired."

Bryce continued.

"Wow... It sounds like our captain is looking for trouble again."

Lin Xi immediately understood what the two of them meant.

His guess was not wrong at all.

While he was alone checking the goods in the warehouse, the temporary emergency meeting formed in response to the jump accident also started.

It's just that the central control room is in total chaos.

Taran's situation was so bad that he couldn't control the situation at all. The abuse, quarrels, and mutual accusations made the whole meeting a complete disaster.

I think Taran has completely lost his mind, goddamn it, everything is so bad, I want to blow up the goddamn conference room. ——Information sender: Alyssa

Alyssa, who had to participate in the meeting as the deputy captain, even started to complain in private communication.

As a reserved person, she rarely showed such strong emotions, which was enough to show that Taran and everything in that room were scary.

Heartfelt sympathy to you - message sent by: Lin Xi

Lin Xi returned to her room according to Bryce and Sith's proposal, watched Alisa's complaint on the communicator, and thought that she would have to meet Taran in the future, and felt extremely bad.

"Poor Alisa...poor me..."

Lin Xi grumbled in pain, then opened the bathroom door and moved in with difficulty.

The most urgent thing is to change the clothes on him.

His body was heavy and his head hurt.The jumpsuit, soaked in his sweat and spent hours in the Slavic light mecha, was already beginning to stink.

However, when taking off the jumpsuit, Lin Xi's movements froze slightly.

He took his hand out of the glove, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it seriously.

... Some wet and viscous milky white liquid that should not have appeared is sticking to his fingers.
