mother of all races

"No...no problem, probably..."

Bryce replied, his voice quickly returned to normal, and the extra dignified attitude before seemed to be just Lin Xi's misreading.

"Judging from these physiological data, I shouldn't prescribe you any calming gel bars anymore," Bryce said, but under Lin Xi's disbelieving eyes, he still took a step back, "However, your black The eye circles really hit me, three low-dose calming gel sticks are my bottom line, and you need to promise me to stop taking them as soon as your sleep gets better—”

"Okay, I will, I promise, I won't mess around! Just use it as a sleep aid!"

Lin Xi raised her hands towards Bryce and solemnly promised.

Although Lin Xi was a little disappointed that he didn't get the enhanced calming gel stick he wanted, but it's better than nothing—Lin Xi is not the kind of person who is too greedy.

He watched with glee as Bryce took out the rationed gel stick and put it in his hand, then he looked at his personal terminal and pretended to be embarrassed.

"Ah, damn it, the monitoring system reports that another water gall orchid in the laboratory has been infected by bugs."

Lin Xi whispered exaggeratedly.

"I was going to have lunch with you, but now it looks like I'll have to deal with the water gall orchid first. Ugh, those goddamn bugs are driving me crazy..."

While speaking, Lin Xi grabbed the gel stick and stuffed it into his pocket, then walked quickly towards the door.

Bryce watched Lin Xi's exaggerated performance helplessly, but he didn't expose his bloodless brother.

"Remember to ask Professor Ando to take that egg case back. Your cabin is for resting and sleeping, not for raising bugs!"

However, he still couldn't help but follow behind Lin Xi, taking out what he had said many times before, and emphasizing it several times.

Lin Xi coped with it with a smirk, but didn't really take those words to heart.

Shizuo Ando seems to have been busy taking care of Liz, who is getting worse and worse during this time (otherwise, seeing such an obviously active egg case, he would probably find a way to make a bed next to Lin Xi's bed, and then observe him 24 hours a day Beloved cutie is right).

Occasionally, Lin Xi passed Ando in the corridor of the laboratory, and the latter didn't even notice his existence.That baby-faced man who always smiles now looks more like a miserable mummy. No matter what, it is impossible for Lin Xi to follow Bryce's request and take the eggs of Star Butterfly. Return the sheath to the hapless man.

As for Bryce's nagging, alas... Lin Xi had to admit that Bryce was really good to him, but those nagging were really annoying.If not, he wouldn't have managed to avoid lunch with Bryce.

"Lin Xi—"

Just as Lin Xi left the medical room quickly and was about to turn a corner at the end of the corridor, Bryce suddenly stopped him again.

"What's the matter? Is there anything else? For example, you suddenly figured it out and are willing to give me some more calming gel sticks?"

Lin Xi took a deep breath, then turned around, squeezed out a smile and looked at Bryce.

His elder brother was standing at the door of the medical room and staring at him, that strange expression appeared on his face again, and this time Lin Xi was sure that it was not his illusion.

"Bryce?"

Lin Xi was a little more serious.

However, after waiting for a long time, what came out of Bryce's mouth was still the cliché that Lin Xi had heard so badly.

"Eat less food packs, and stay away from the exploration team members. Don't always think about taking advantage of them. Your reputation is already bad enough. Promise me, don't mess around, especially in this special period... ..."

"I know, I will, I've changed my mind a long time ago, you should have more trust in your brother, okay?!"

Lin Xi didn't know why, but she breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the familiar chanting.

He dealt with it perfunctorily just like before and ran away without looking back.

What he didn't know was that after his back disappeared at the end of the corridor, Bryce still stood there and watched the direction he left for a long time, and then he dragged his heavy steps back to the medical room.

Instead of entering the routine workflow as efficiently and quickly as usual, he re-tuned Lin Xi's physiological data, and then, with a light flick of his finger, he also flipped out several other physical examination reports. Lin Xi's report was placed side by side on the electronic screen.

Bryce took a few steps back, staring blankly at the reports, the wrinkles between his brows getting deeper and deeper.

The reports he called up came from different people on the Helios, and they were all after the spacecraft crash-landed on this unknown planet.

Most of these reports come from the exploration team members who frequently go out for exploration, and some come from the technicians responsible for repairing the spacecraft's cabin.

These people came to Bryce for different reasons. Some people were allergic to bug bites, and some people had mental problems due to accidents and excessive work pressure... However, when Bryce told them They also appeared to be in good physical condition when examined.

Just like Lynch.

However, compared with Lin Xi, the physical data of the exploration team members and technicians were significantly better: metabolism, cell activity, and oxygen content in their blood...all far exceeded the average.

Bryce had previously attributed this change to the pure and pollution-free environment on this strange planet (at least as far as the report of the data analysis robot is concerned, the natural environment here is indeed far more than that of the earth, after all, that planet has been tossed by the earth people almost).In addition, another important factor is the daily food packs eaten by the crew.

Compared with other frozen and packaged foods on the spacecraft, this food specially developed for space travel contains rich nutrition. In addition, because of the addition of ground milk, this food package can also be used in To a certain extent, adjust the physical condition and improve the physiological function...

After the Helios made an emergency landing, in order to avoid unnecessary loss of personnel after the accident, Captain Taran approved the use of this expensive food.

Everything looked fine, just like what Bryce had said to Lin Xi before.

However, a subtle, unexplainable sense of unease gradually spread in Bryce's heart.

He nervously flipped through the data and documents left by the crew.

...yes, the bug bit me, no, no direct contact, I'm sure of that.But even through the isolation suit, I still left a deep wound on my hand...but the wound healed soon...

I feel fine doc, although it sounds a little weird, maybe it's because my leg pain hasn't happened for a long time, it's a miracle, since I accidentally broke that leg at the moon base ten years ago , it will remind me of my recklessness from time to time... Oh, my God, this is amazing, you mean that old injury can't be seen on the scan record?

…thank you doc, I feel better after the treatment..ah yes, sorry for asking, but I’m so curious.. My tattoos are gone after these few treatments, so the treatment Can Yi really wash off old tattoos?I made a bet with my friend and he insisted that therapy machines don't care about laser graffiti on your skin, but look, I still have my ex-ex-boyfriend's name on my arm, but damn it Words are literally gone now...

……

During the treatment, the audio recordings left by the visitors were listened to repeatedly by Bryce as background music.

Rapid healing of wounds.

Healing of old wounds.

And the fading of tattoos.

These are good things, Bryce grumbles to himself.

Yet he still felt panicked.

It's a bit rude to think this way, but after seeing those exploration team members who healed their old injuries and quickly healed their new injuries, the first thing Bryce thought of was Liz.

The fetus in the belly of the Sunu mixed-race woman swelled rapidly and was so vigorous that it would even dry up the mother's body and die.

Is this improvement in vitality really due to the food pack?

still is……

Bryce put down his work and walked slowly to the window of the spaceship.Even though the Helios has been here for so long, Bryce has never been able to get used to the bright and curly "plants" within sight.

Those "plants" that trembled slightly as if they were living things always reminded Bryce of many bad things.For example, colorful bugs, for example, those indescribable monsters in the ghost stories of childhood, for example, the paintings of a certain postmodernist painter that he particularly hated.

"call……"

He couldn't help but sighed deeply. Just now, he was about to tell Lin Xi his unfounded speculations, but at the last moment, he looked at the tiredness that could not be concealed on Lin Xi's face. , After all, I still suppressed those bad expectations in my heart.

If only that person was still here.

Suddenly, someone's pale face appeared in Bryce's mind.

When that man was still alive, both he and Lin Xi would be extremely at ease and relaxed, because they knew very well that no matter what problems they encountered, that man would solve him in his own way.

However, just thinking of him, the long-lost grief is like a poisonous snake, poking its head out and gnawing at Bryce's heart in an instant.
