mother of all races

"Xavier, hold on, I will find a way... Believe me, I will definitely find a way..."

Lin Xi lay on the ground, he looked at Xavier on the other side of the isolation gate and shouted.

More metal tentacles of the mechanical warriors have been trying to get in through the gap between the isolation door and the ground. Those tentacles left several deep scars on Lin Xi's body, and Lin Xi could feel the blood on his body was continuously flowing. The pain gushed out, but the physical pain seemed to be very far away at this moment, and it was his heart that really made him feel extremely painful.

"Xavier!"

All the composure turned into powder at this moment, Lin Xi didn't know how to use words to describe the fear in his body that seemed to completely freeze the bone marrow at this moment.

Although he has been trying to appease Xavier, but...

He had a strong premonition that he was going to lose Xavier.

"I want to keep up with you...Lin Xi...I always want to keep up with you..."

At the same moment, under the attack of those mechanical warriors and metal monsters, Xavier kept repeating the same sentence, his tone full of panic about being left behind.It stretched its arms forward in vain, as if in this way it could break through all obstacles and come to the other side of the door to be with Lin Xi.

"crunch..."

In its incoherent whisper of fear, the isolation door moved.

Yes, even with the sudden obstruction of the insect-shaped robot, the isolation door was still pressed down heavily after all.

A mechanical warrior trying to get into the corridor bridge through the crack of the door created a crack under the weight of the isolation door.

In the flickering of electric sparks, the metal tentacles that were frantically wriggling like a swarm of snakes were suddenly withdrawn.

The gap in the door is getting narrower and narrower.

"Lin Xi...it hurts...uuuu...Lin Xi..."

While Xavier was crying without any scruples, he thrust his forelimbs into the metal ground forcefully, wriggling his body like crazy, trying to get to the other side of the isolation door.

However, the icy tentacles of those metal monsters are still firmly nailed to Xavier's body, and its frantic struggle will only cause it to suffer more serious injuries—in fact, during the struggle just now, its The body is almost split in half.

To make matters worse, Xavier's crazy struggle seemed to have touched some mechanism of those insect mechanical monsters.They pulled out their metal tentacles from under the isolation door, no longer continuing to fight against the heavy isolation door.

The isolation door resumed normal operation, and they strangely aimed something like a detector at Xavier who was struggling to wriggle on the ground.

Under the masks of transparent synthetic materials, the pupils of these insect mechanical monsters shone with a strange red light.

Lin Xi's bloodshot eyes suddenly widened.

He watched those monsters bow slightly, and then raised their weird and terrifying arms towards Xavier——

"No—don't be like this—survive!" Lin Xi uttered the most miserable cry in her life, "Xavier, I will find a way, I will come back to you, do you hear me? I will come back...to live come down..."

In the last few seconds when the isolation door fell, what Lin Xi saw was that the robots directly used their sickle-shaped metal tentacles to forcefully penetrate Xavier's body.

"Lin Xi..."

Strangely, before the last moment, Xavier seemed very calm.

At least, it looks a lot more at ease than before.It stared at Lin Xi fixedly, blood gushed out of its nose and mouth continuously, and all the camouflage and mimicry on it disappeared in a state of extreme weakness.

Instead, there was a somewhat ferocious and ugly face that belonged to a different species.

"...I'll wait for Lin Xi here...I will be very good."

It said in an extremely weak voice.

"I'll be very good..."

The luster in the pair of red pupils gradually lost.

In a trance, Lin Xi seemed to see the weak and slender "star butterflies" again.

In the next second, the isolation door fell completely, blocking Lin Xi's sight.

"Xavier..."

Lin Xi clenched her fists and slammed hard at the metal isolation door.

He tried to get some movement from the isolation door, even if it was howling or screaming, as long as it belonged to Xavier's voice.

He knew that Xavier was afraid of being separated from him...but through the metal isolation door, the only thing he could hear was the horrible sound from the other side of the isolation door.

It was the sound of flesh being ripped apart, and the rattling of joints as those disgusting metal monsters moved.

Those metal monsters didn't leave there, they were looking for a way to break through the door.

"Xavier... can you still hear me? Xavier..."

Lin Xi yelled in vain to the other side of the isolation door.

But after all, he still didn't wait for Xavier's response. Instead, those metal monsters became very interested in his voice.

"Boom-boom-"

Amidst the dull metal roar, those monsters slammed into the separation door, and Lin Xi could even hear the overwhelmed click of the hinge of the next door

He can't stay here any longer.

Lin Xi's rationality was admonishing him.

He took a few steps back, panting heavily.A deep sadness hit him, almost breaking his whole heart completely.

Before this day, Lin Xi never thought that one day she would have such deep affection for a alien monster like Xavier.

He couldn't even breathe, and he couldn't even think. A strong impulse was constantly surging in his body. He wanted to stay here desperately, waiting for those metal monsters to break open the isolation door. If so, he can at least rush out to contain Xavier's body, or... he will die under the tentacles of those metal monsters together with Xavier.

But the moment he stepped forward, a heavy feeling in his chest forced him to lower his head.

Lin Xi's body trembled, and the ion generator was still tightly tied to his chest.

The excessive mental shock and the extreme weakness of the body made Lin Xi's eyes go black, but it also reminded him of the reason why he was so desperate... Alisa and Bryce were still waiting for him.

Lin Xi had to bite herself hard, the wound on the tip of her tongue was numb, and she felt nothing.

"I will come to you, hold on, I will come to you."

Knowing that the little bug would no longer give him any response, Lin Xi still spoke very seriously to the isolation door that was about to deform.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, then turned his head resolutely, seized the opportunity in the gap where the isolation door had not been breached, stepped on layers of monster corpses, and rushed towards the warehouse where the lifeboat was located .

"My God, Lynch? What happened to you..."

The moment he stumbled into the warehouse, Lin Xi was greeted by a black muzzle. Fortunately, before he shot, Bryce keenly recognized the blood-soaked man in front of him as his brother.

The former medical officer was almost frightened crazy by Lin Xi's blood-covered appearance.

Sorry, but it was Lin Xi who showed amazing calmness.

He took a few steps forward, and calmly handed over the ion generator on his body to Sith, who was trotting all the way.

"Oh man, you look really miserable but sorry let me get this thing set up first, we have a big problem right now, we have to take off right away—"

Sith was taken aback by the blood on the surface of the ion generator, but he just hurriedly dropped this sentence and then quickly rushed towards the lifeboat with the generator in his arms.

"How's the situation?"

Lin Xi numbly shifted his gaze from Sith's back to Bryce.

He himself was a little surprised that he could still speak calmly—although his vocal cords were as rough as if they had been polished by sandpaper.

At the same time, he took a quick look at the environment in the warehouse. The metal door of the launch channel had been opened, and the lifeboat seemed to be a little different. It was probably because Bryce and the other three had met each other in this short period of time. This little lifeboat has been remodeled.There were some traces of fighting on the ground, and the corpses of several mechanical warriors lay motionless on the ground.

It can be seen that during the time he was away, the warehouse could not be said to be completely safe.

"That thing caused us a little trouble, and everything else went well...we've finished the modification."

Bryce checked Lin Xi's body in fear, and then he said quickly.

"Sith, how long before we can go."

He even found time to turn around and ask Sith.

Sith was busy in the lifeboat at this time, and after hearing Bryce's question, it took him a long time to get out of the fuel tank.

"We can go right away, and we have to go right away. Damn this bloody lifeboat is too fragile—" Sith seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned his head to explain to Lin Xi Get up, "I have already explained it to Alisa and Bryce. In short, all you need to know is that when setting the star map, I found a big problem. AS192 is like a demon planet trying to completely wipe us out. Stay here or die, its satellite is at a very bad angle, if we can't seize the window to escape quickly, even if our lifeboat flies according to the established route, it will be overloaded in space due to the pull of gravity Eventually it was torn to pieces."

Sith said with a pale face.

Then he glanced at Bryce and Alyssa next to Lin Xi, and he emphasized again: "The time left for us is very short."

"The situation is not that bad, at least Lin Xi came back on time."

Alisa and Bryce had been forced to listen to the nagging for a long time before Lin Xi returned.

This young man who was full of heart to return to the earth, after discovering this problem, almost became a mental patient because of extreme panic.

In fact, it was to escape the Sith's constant muttering and hysteria that they had completed such a lifeboat conversion so quickly.

Alisa could understand Sith's anxiety, but it was undeniable that when she spoke to Sith, her voice was tinged with a touch of coldness.

"We'll take off and get back to Earth."

Alisa said firmly to Sith.

And at the time when Alisa and Sith were talking, Bryce had already checked Lin Xi's physical condition impatiently.

Although, after he forced Lin Xi to remove his hand from his abdomen, he looked at the wound in front of his eyes and gasped.His body shook slightly, as if he was about to faint.

"God...what the hell have you been through?"

Bryce gritted his teeth tightly, and then forced himself to ask calmly.

"You", when this word fell into Lin Xi's ears, Lin Xi's body trembled heavily.

Similarly, it was precisely because of this sentence that Alisa couldn't help but tilt her head. She passed Lin Xi's shoulder and glanced in the direction he came from.

"Where is Xavier? I thought it was helping you in the rear, and it will arrive soon..."

Alisa asked with some anxiety.

Hearing her words, Bryce gave a slight pause to the hand that sprayed the hemostatic spray on Lin Xi's wound.

Lin Xi looked at the two of them silently, without replying.

But silence itself is sometimes the best answer.

Alisa immediately realized the answer, her face turned pale, and then showed a sad expression.

"I'm very sorry……"

She whispered to Lin Xi in a low voice.

"Sorry to bother you, but—"

At this moment, Sith jumped out of the fuel tank. He stood beside the spaceship and shouted at the three of them: "Bryce, Alyssa—I want to say, we really have to go. According to By my calculations, for every minute we delay, the chance of death increases..."

"To shut up."

Bryce yelled at him impatiently, but after the yelling, he still turned sideways and began to help Lin Xi walk to the spaceship.

"I will give you some basic treatment as soon as possible, and then you will stay in the dormant cabin for me, and we will find a way to treat your wound when we return to Earth."

While walking, Bryce said to Lin Xi.

He paused, and then added: "Judging from your injuries, it's already a kind of luck for you to be able to come back here. I'm very grateful for this, really. As for the others...you know, sometimes, Fate is cruel."

Lin Xi could hear vague comfort in Bryce's awkward voice.

He pursed his lips, trying to force a smile to reassure Bryce, but even he knew that his expression must be very ugly now.

Arriving at the lifeboat, Alisa jumped on it first. There was a tacit understanding between her and Bryce, no verbal communication was required. She was already kneeling next to the freezer for data adjustment, so that Lin Xi could Be able to enter the dormant cabin as quickly as possible.

After all, although she is not as professional as Bryce, she can tell that Lin Xi's injury is really serious.

Although the hibernation cabin won't help Lin Xi heal his wounds like the treatment cabin, it can at least stabilize Lin Xi's current condition and avoid further deterioration.

Bryce followed Alyssa, jumped into the sky, and then he turned around and stretched out his arms to help Lin Xi into the lifeboat.

However, Lin Xi didn't move as he thought.

Lin Xi stared blankly at everything in the lifeboat. In a short time, Bryce and the others had piled up all kinds of life-saving materials here.Three dormant cabins are also ready.As long as he steps on the lifeboat, everything that happened in AS192 will be a thing of the past.All the terrible events that happened here will be far away in another world by the boundless universe.He will return to his normal life track, even if his body has indeed mutated... But even if it is death, dying on the home planet he is familiar with and loves is far better than dying in a dark, ghostly alien world full of monsters and killing machines. A star is ten thousand times happier.And the only thing he needs to do is to take a step forward.

Sith had already sat nervously on the operator's seat long before they boarded the ship, his face was reflected by the blue fluorescent light on the operating table, which made him look extraordinarily pale.

"We have to go!" Sith turned his head to look at Bryce and Lin Xi, his voice was almost a roar.A small screen in front of him displayed ever-changing data.

In the upper right corner of the screen, a red countdown is constantly beating.That was the final timeline calculated by Sith. Once they passed this timeline, they would be torn to pieces by the gravitational force between the satellite and the planet, and the dream of returning to Earth would always be just a dream.

Bryce leaned forward again, trying to push Lin Xi into the spaceship with more force, but Lin Xi suddenly reached out and pushed him into the cabin.

"sorry."

Lin Xi closed his lips, and he said to Bryce in a hoarse voice.

"I promised Xavier that I would go find him."
