mother of all races

"Lin Xi..."

A hoarse and eerie whisper echoed in the dark cavern.

The hideous figure appearing here is naturally Xavier.

A vent that was originally only used for ventilation was directly dug into a passage by it. With the falling of a large amount of soil and sand, the crypt carefully dug out by the white shadow was already a mess.

Xavier landed on the ground, and it shook its front paws lightly.Because of the high speed of digging it, the carapace on the claws was severely worn, and those rather sharp and sharp thorns had already broken during the digging process... But Xavier didn't care about these at all.

At this moment, all its attention is placed in the middle of the cave.Xavier stared at the garbage dump that his own kind built out of ordinary rotten iron with extreme disgust, and then it looked at the limp gray fleshy membrane of those garbage piled together.

The smell that Xavier cared about was emanating from those fleshy membranes.

Xavier rushed there without any hesitation.The damaged meat membrane has begun to dehydrate, and it emits a weird smell—that's the smell that the protein will have when it begins to rot, but these strong smells can't hide the other smell.

There was a slight pause in Xavier's movements, and it stared blankly at the meat membrane in front of it with its red pupils—Lin Xi lost his memory, and he didn't know that what he broke free before was actually his own chrysalis.

It was also at this moment that Xavier finally realized why the scents belonging to Lin Xi he had smelled before were so strange.

That is... the unique breath of the mother of all kinds.

Yes, that's the mother of all kinds, not Lin Xi whom Xavier loves and is attached to...

Or it should be said that the breath of "He" at this moment has blended with Lin Xi's own smell, and even Xavier himself has no way to distinguish whether it is Lin Xi or "He" who appeared here.

Is it for this reason?

At this moment, Xavier was overwhelmed by icy fear, making his ferocious and hard body tremble slightly.

It's because Lin Xi has transformed into...he...

So he didn't come to find him?

Xavier was almost driven crazy by the speculation in his heart.

No, if Lin Xi has become "He", "He" should have summoned himself as the King Worm long ago...

Or……

Xavier stretched out his tentacles, trembling rapidly in the air at a speed unrecognizable to the naked eye, carefully distinguishing the thinned odor particles in the air.In the pure darkness of the cave, its eyes and the elytra on his back began to emit a hazy fluorescent color.

"Lin Xi...Lin Xi..."

Xavier kept repeating this name—although he had been trying hard to restrain his nostalgia and love for Lin Xi, but at this moment, Xavier couldn't help but use Lin Xi's name to calm his surging emotions.

And when it carefully discerned the breath here, a smell that could not be ignored made Xavier's movements suddenly freeze.

This smell...

Xavier's tentacles stretched straight at the back of his head.

It vaguely remembered this smell, it was the alien species that Lin Xi let go.

Probably due to stunted growth, its smell is so light it's almost imperceptible.

Why is there another alien smell beside Lin Xi?

The ever-changing magnificent colors on Xavier's wings faded instantly, and its body turned gray in an instant.

……

"Ok?"

In the tunnel connecting the crypt and the Helios, Lin Xi suddenly shivered.

He frowned, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the road he came from.

Of course, using "road" to describe this narrow and rugged passage seems a bit too formal. In Lin Xi's view, what he and the monster passed was just a winding tunnel full of ravines.

Most of these areas are even natural fissures created by the movement of the underground rocks of this planet. Between the fissures, the muddy tunnels excavated by humans are connected to form a complete passage.

Lin Xi didn't know how long she had been walking here.

It can be said that at this moment, he is even a little grateful for his mutated body that can drive him crazy.

If it wasn't for half of his body transformed into an insect-like body, he would not be able to persist here. After all, this road is too narrow, dark, and intricate, full of forks.

It is almost impossible for ordinary humans to walk freely in such harsh passages.

After turning into a monster, his body seems to have been improved to some extent. At least Lin Xi has not felt tired so far—he just feels bored, and the primitive desire in his heart is still clamoring. Trying to get him back to the cave where he was before.

Lynch——

Lin Xi couldn't help but fought another cold war.

He turned his head and looked behind him again.

Is it because he is too nervous?Why did he feel that at the other end of the tunnel, that is, the road he came from, someone was calling him?

Lin Xi frowned, because of the thoughts in her mind, a thin layer of goose bumps appeared on her arms.

In the depths of the dark cave, something unknown is calling his name... It's like a plot in a horror movie.

Lin Xi was somewhat restless, so he didn't notice that the white monster leading the way in front of him seemed to tremble slightly during that hallucinatory call.

After a long time, Lin Xi finally followed the white monster to the end of the passage.

The white monster raised its forelegs and forcefully moved a thick steel plate away from the cave entrance.

...no light and no sound.

There was no movement.

For a moment, Lin Xi almost thought that she was still in that long tunnel.

Until he calmed down and looked at everything around him clearly.

Then... Lin Xi looked at the dilapidated spaceship in front of him in shock, and for a while, his mind was blank.

This place has been completely destroyed.

Lin Xi can draw a conclusion just by looking at it.

Of course, in reality, he still does not give up.

He walked forward slowly, exploring the surrounding environment.

He had never wished that he was in a nightmare like this moment, because if it was a dream, at least he still had a chance to wake up.

The once clean and bright main passage is now crookedly lying under Lin Xi's feet. The metal wall that should have been very hard looks as messy as crumpled tinfoil.

The broken lighting equipment pulled slender wires, fell from behind the shattered light-transmitting screen, and hung feebly on both sides of the corridor.

Lin Xi passed by the restaurant and the entertainment room in his memory. In his residual impression, there are always many people here, lively, noisy but full of laughter, but now those people are all gone, and These places, too, had become a dead, metallic wreck.

Lin Xi stretched out his finger and wiped lightly on the severely damaged metal wall, and he touched a thick layer of smoke and dust.

Maybe there was a fire here, Lin Xi thought.

Along with his progress in the ruined spaceship, some pictures faintly flashed across his mind.

He remembered the sight of the ship when the warning lights came on.

The red lights are like bloodstains smeared in every corner of the memory.

And that maddening screech of sirens.

What was repeated in those sirens at that time was——

"Damn-"

There was another dizziness and headache, Lin Xi suddenly lowered his head, and he pressed his temple hard to make himself feel better.

But it took him a long time to calm himself down—he felt that his mind was extremely heavy, and countless bloody or non-bloody images overlapped, making it impossible for him to distinguish what happened in the past that he had forgotten.

But even so, Lin Xi still didn't want to give up.He continued to move forward, and every time he took a step, there would be a sharp friction sound like howling ghosts and wolves on the ground of the originally solid spaceship. The sound sounded extremely harsh, almost like the ghost of the spaceship itself was wailing.

ghost……

Thinking of this word, Lin Xi suddenly felt sick.

Everything around him gave him a feeling of insanity.

Compared with his clumsiness and rigidity, the white monster leading the way seems to be very familiar with this pile of ruins. It goes back and forth in the gaps between countless exposed and twisted metal brackets and broken synthetic material boards.

From time to time, I will help Lin Xi sort out a better walking path...

At first, Lin Xi was a little surprised that the white monster was familiar with this place, but soon, he saw things he didn't want to see in some relatively remote locations.

It was group after group, suspended high in mid-air, with the corpse of a monster wrapped in a white film outside.

Lin Xi thought of the horrible images he had recalled before, as well as the corpse that the white monster threw to him before, his face turned slightly pale.

——The white monster in front of him may have collected the monster wreckage of the entire spaceship, and made it into food for Lin Xi.

For this, Lin Xi really couldn't feel any gratitude.

Not long after, under the leadership of the white monster, Lin Xi came to an upward sloping passage. After sneaking in the dark for so long, even the slightest flow of light and air became particularly obvious.

Lin Xi involuntarily quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to stand on the exposed fracture surface of the Helios after the explosion.

It was... an explosion.

High energy bomb.

Looking at the obvious traces on the ground, Lin Xi easily deduced the reason why the spaceship became ruins.

The situation here is very bad. Lin Xi's current location is probably on the original upper deck—everything he can see is melted and broken. Lin Xi can only barely stand with his alienated body. stable.

He moved to the edge and looked down slowly. The center of the explosion should be the lower deck. If everything where Lin Xi is staying is in ruins, then the part of the lower deck he can see is completely destroyed. Disappeared.

What remains there now is only a huge black void.

"Well……"

Lin Xi didn't know why she couldn't help shivering after seeing the center of the explosion.

Without even realizing it, he unconsciously pressed his stomach.

He thought he remembered something—

pain.

But more than the pain, Lin Xi felt sad because of the surging despair and guilt in his memories.

At that time, what I was afraid of was not death, but what?

Lin Xi frowned and retreated from the center of the explosion.

Although he still couldn't remember anything, at least... At least he knew what was wrong with the Helios.

And judging from the external situation he observed, they seemed to have crashed onto a certain alien planet (Lin Xi's intuition told him that he seemed to have known this for a long time).

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi quickly found Bryce's medical room and room according to the location in memory...

But in the damaged and abandoned medical rooms and rooms, he still found nothing.

Lin Xi found that she was not surprised by this.

"Bryce left... right?"

He turned his head to look at the white monster waiting beside him.

However, the monster just tilted its head and looked at him in bewilderment.

"Well, well, you don't know."

Lin Xi muttered.

He pressed the center of his brows, pondered for a moment, and then began to walk towards his previous living cabin on the Helios.

Maybe there he found some more clues...

he thinks.

Lin Xi managed to find a gap among the melted and broken copper and iron to return to the previous living cabin.

However, at the moment when the door was opened, Lin Xi stared at everything in front of her, her eyes widened in astonishment.
