mother of all races

Thinking of what she felt on the belly deck of "No. [-]" just now, Lin Xi couldn't help shivering.

"Let me see your wound, please?"

Seeing "No. [-]" still hesitantly standing not far away, Lin Xi took a breath and said again.

"Number One" blinked when he heard this.

"Lin Xi."

it muttered.

It sounded like he was cheering himself on.

Then it moved its huge and ferocious worm body with restraints, and moved towards Lin Xi again...but at first it kept a little distance from Lin Xi nervously.

And it cautiously changed its side to face Lin Xi, so that if it was attacked again, at least the original wound would not be pierced again.

It's just that the vigilance of "No. [-]" only lasted for a few seconds.

After all, once he got close, the aura on Lin Xi's body became stronger and stronger.

The tentacles of "No. [-]" swayed slightly behind his head unconsciously, trying to capture Lin Xi's breath in the air as much as possible.

The smell that gave it life and soul was so warm and charming that "Number One" couldn't control his behavior at all.

It quickly gave up the warning distance between itself and Lin Xi, it was sticky, and slid to Lin Xi's side without hesitation, and sat next to him tightly.

Lin Xi swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva.

Although his body was already familiar with the existence of "Number One", the part of his soul that was a human being still couldn't help trembling when he felt the strange body of "Number One" that was completely different from human beings covering him tightly.

But he soon realized that while he was feeling a little flustered, the monster beside him seemed even more disturbed than he was.

The things he did to "No. [-]" when he was semi-conscious before played back in Lin Xi's mind again, and the trace of fear in Lin Xi's heart was gradually replaced by strange pity.

No matter how it looks, the soul of "Number One" is docile and well-behaved.

While thinking this way, he gently stroked the chest of "No. [-]".

It has to be said that the self-healing ability of "No. [-]" is quite strong, and it only takes a moment, and the bleeding from the wound bitten by Lin Xi has stopped.

Previously, the inside of the wound could be faintly seen through the mucus, but now the mucus has gradually solidified and turned an opaque off-white.

"Will it hurt?"

Lin Xi asked dryly.

He had to force himself not to think about the disgusting organ in his mouth in order to speak normally.

"Number One" trembled slightly the moment he touched him, its eyes became brighter, and it couldn't even maintain its mimicry—the dark red compound eyes flashed out from behind the membrane, and then shrank again. went back.

After hearing Lin Xi's answer (of course it didn't miss the trace of pity in Lin Xi's tone), it happily let out a "hiss" sound.

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback because of the pure joy in the insect's chirping.

After realizing this, "Number One" immediately switched to human language.

"pain."

it muttered softly.

It stretched out its hand to cover the back of Lin Xi's hand, letting him press hard on the wound.

Lin Xi instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but "No. [-]" pressed very hard.

"You...touch me again...a lot...hiss...it doesn't hurt..."

It stammered in insect chirping and human language.

It looks exactly the same as Savile in seriousness.

The strange emotion in Lin Xi's heart began to swell again.

It's hard to say whether it's pity or helplessness. All in all, even though this "number one" looks scary and fierce, it has left an ignorant and pitiful imprint in Lin Xi's heart.

"If I shoot you again in the future—" Lin Xi met the face of "No. [-]", and then was slightly dazed again because of the face that resembled Savile, "You have to remember to avoid it."

Even Lin Xi himself didn't realize that after seeing that face, there was a hint of deeper tenderness in his tone.

It's just that "No. [-]" is extremely sensitive to things that Lin Xi didn't realize.

This is Lin Xi's favorite face.

"Number One" thought contentedly under the mimicry.

It perfectly reproduces in my mind every detail of the figure I saw hiding on the wall...

The next time it molts again, it can become more similar.

Thinking of it like this, unparalleled happiness and love surged in its heart.

……

at the same time--

Abandoned artificial intelligence computer room on deck c

"...In any case, we are not completely hopeless now. As long as we can unlock the star map and locate the coordinates, we can go back."

Although the three people in the computer room were depressed for a while because of Taran's authority, Sith quickly cheered up.

He looked at Alisa with some regret.

"It's really a pity, if Alisa is still the deputy captain..."

"Even if I still have permission, I don't think Talan will allow me to visit." Alisa said with a wry smile, "After all, his greatest wish is to stay in this damned place and become a monster. "

At the mention of Taran, Alisa and Sith frowned at the same time.

"What's more, we have other problems to solve besides the star map," Alisa calmed down and said again, "As far as I know, the fuel on the Helios is almost bottomed out, so even if We got the star map, and if we want to go back—”

"That's not a problem."

Sith interrupted Alisa, obviously already emaciated as if he was starving, and when he mentioned returning to Earth, his eyes seemed to be lit with flames, flashing a different kind of light.

Alisa and Bryce saw him suddenly jumping up from the ground, and then directly rushed into the thick shadows on the other side of the computer room. After a while, Sith quickly returned to them, holding a piece of paper in his hand. The old-fashioned electronic paper was laid flat on the ground.

"This is the question I've been thinking about during the time I've been stuck here, Alisa, you should be able to understand, right! Yes, the fuel of the Helios is indeed about to run out, but we also It doesn't take that much fuel. We just need a little bit of fuel to drive this—"

Sith pointed to the electronic paper and said dancing.

Alisa and Bryce glanced at each other, and then they both looked in the direction of Sith's finger: the content of the electronic paper was the final internal structure and equipment diagram of the Helios after previous revisions, and Sith focused on typing The location is located at the very bottom of the spaceship.

There were some very small escape ships vaguely drawn there.

Alisa couldn't help frowning: "Wait, these escape ships are only built for short-term escape, and their fuel tanks are too small. I'm afraid they will run out of fuel before they fly to the transition gate, and then they can only escape." Floating in space — at least there are no crazy monsters like these in space, but running out of fuel and floating in space like a mummified corpse is not an option.”

"Also, have we all forgotten one thing, the jump gate has disappeared, otherwise we wouldn't have come here inexplicably and been stranded for so many days—" Bryce looked at the equipment solemnly Figure, said with some despair.

"Hee hee hee……"

Sith grinned strangely in front of them.

"It's not a problem, guys, it's really not a problem..." He waved his arms and his voice gradually became higher and higher, "The warp gate is still there, it's always been there. It's just that Taran modified The parameters we used to calculate the position of the jump gate, so we have never found it, but Talan didn't know that the artificial intelligence on the Helios could still work, he forgot to modify the parameters here, and the Helios There are still uncleared data left in the brain at the time. Yes, I have counted many times-the jump gate is there! As for the fuel tank, it is also very simple. Lin Xi is in that big pit The flying machines found can give us a helping hand. In the era of great exploration, they need to mass-produce spaceships too much, so all spaceships are basically produced quickly based on modularity! I checked the Providence aircraft used Fuel bunker number..."

"It just happens to... match with our escape ship?"

Alisa murmured.

Although she had forcibly suppressed her emotions, Bryce could easily hear her excitement.

Well, even himself.

If everything goes as Sith said.

They can indeed reassemble the escape ship and the fuel tank of the aircraft, and then escape directly with the help of the star map and coordinates drawn 300 years ago.

Bryce reached out and pressed Alisa's hand firmly.

"We can get out of here, yes we can. I've been here these days crunching the numbers and I'm pretty sure it will work."

Sith said to Alisa and Bryce with a half-crying half-smile.

"The lifeboat is big enough for us to get out, Bryce, Alisa, I..."

At the end, Sith couldn't help but began to count the number of people with his fingers.

His voice paused for a moment at this moment.

"I wanted to ask before, but I... I don't know if I'm taking the liberty to..."

Sith hesitated and asked about his former friends.

"Lin Xi...he..."

"He's still alive."

Bryce said emphatically.

Alisa then nodded: "He has some other things to deal with, so we are temporarily separated from him."

For some hidden reason, neither Bryce nor Alyssa mentioned to Sith about Lin Xi's abnormality, nor his possible terrifying identity.

After hearing that Lin Xi was still alive, Sith couldn't help showing a smile.

"That's wonderful, wonderful...as long as we're all alive there's hope."
