mother of all races

When Lin Xi pushed open the door of the medical room, Bryce was fiddling with the new auxiliary system.

That is a whole piece of scenery virtual wall, which can be connected with the detectors on the Helios to simultaneously simulate the real-time scenery outside the cabin.It is said that this virtual empty scene can effectively alleviate the depression of non-field crew members in a long-term closed environment, but, as far as the actual situation Lin Xi saw, the scenery projected is really not beautiful—— It looks more like a plus version of real-time external surveillance video.The brightly colored and occasionally wriggling "plants" on this unknown asteroid seem not so much relaxing as they are a special type of mental pollution.

"Wow, what the hell is this?"

Lin Xi was caught off guard when he saw the terrifying picture. He stared at the virtual wall and said, he didn't realize what it was until a while later. Bryce would occasionally use this space to try to relieve him when he went to Sunu. Vertigo. (Indifferently these attempts also failed in the end).

"Lin Xi? Why are you here?"

Bryce turned his head and found that it was Lin Xi who came, his eyes widened in astonishment.

It can be seen that he was very surprised by Lin Xi's arrival.Immediately afterwards, he threw away the virtual wall editor in his hand and rushed straight towards Lin Xi.

"Did something happen?"

He grabbed Lin Xi's wrist and asked, his voice tense.

Instead, Lin Xi was taken aback, and he shook his head in surprise: "It's nothing... well, there's something wrong, but I'm fine, I'm fine...God, why do I think you're scared by me Same? Am I that scary?"

After a brief moment of daze, Lin Xi couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

Bryce was slightly taken aback, and seemed to have noticed that his reaction was a bit excessive. He quickly let go of Lin Xi and took a step back.

"If something serious hadn't happened, I don't think my dear brother would come to me--after all, he always hates my nagging."

Blaise muttered in a half-joking tone.

He seemed to have relaxed a bit, but he couldn't say he had let his guard down completely.Lin Xi could feel that he was still observing him secretly.Then, he saw Bryce wrinkled his nose and took a few steps back silently.

"Wait, what's that smell on you? God, what the hell did you do? You smell like you just crawled out of a waste disposal room..."

Bryce asked in disgust.

"Well, that's actually what I'm going to tell you."

Lin Xi raised his arm, he sniffed his clothes, and was shocked by the stench.He can be sure that this must be the smell he got when he stayed in the Ando couple's room.

"It's about Liz... I'm honestly not sure if I should tell you this, but I need your advice, of course, if you swear you won't tell Amy what I'm going to say next." Lisa."

"Liz? Mrs. Ando?"

As soon as Liz was mentioned, Bryce's expression that had just relaxed a little bit returned to seriousness in an instant.

He glared at Lin Xi very sternly, and there seemed to be a subtle hint of panic in his questioning voice.

Lin Xi frowned slightly, and Bryce's reaction seemed to indicate that the latter also seemed to know something.

"That's right, it's her. In fact, this matter was originally related to Professor Ando, ​​who found me before—

Just when Lin Xi was about to continue explaining, a black shadow suddenly passed by the corner of his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked aside.

It's that virtual wall.All the images are from the spacecraft's probes and are thus a virtual wall of the exterior scenery broadcast in real time.

But now, on that virtual wall, there are countless groups of dark shadows flying wildly.

"what is that?"

For a moment, Lin Xiwan forgot what he wanted to say before, he pointed to the virtual wall and murmured.

Bryce followed his fingertips and looked towards the virtual wall, then also froze.

"This is……"

He took a few steps towards the virtual wall, and then stopped.

"Is it a bug?"

He said in shock in an unbelievable tone.

Lin Xi actually saw the appearance of those black shadows clearly, but the scene was so beyond common sense that it was hard to believe that it really happened.

Those dark shadows are bugs.

From the small size acceptable to the earth people to the huge and unbelievable behemoth, the strange-shaped bugs rushed towards the spaceship like crazy.

In just a short moment, the previous scenery was covered by patches of bugs.

Dense tentacles, arthropods, and wings cover the lens of the detector.It seemed that the next second they were going to rush directly through the mirror and directly into the spaceship.Knowing that what he saw was just the image re-projected on the virtual wall through the pipeline, but this scene still made the scalp tingle and the body tremble.

Maybe there was an error in the program of the virtual wall, a voice whispered in Lin Xi's mind.

The surface of the Helios has always been protected by plasma protection. Although it is inconspicuous, it is enough to isolate most living things (whether they are on the earth or on alien planets) from the spacecraft.

In fact, during the time the Helios was stranded, the plasma protection was always on even when the fuel was tight, which is why those annoying, fragile bugs will only make the exploration team members I was particularly annoyed that they never disturbed the crew inside the spaceship—the moment they touched the hull, they were already burned to ashes by the plasma protection layer.

But now the situation has undergone a terrifying change.

The plasma protection that was so reassuring in the past seems to have lost its effect. Knowing that the outer shell of the entire spaceship is about to die, those little bugs are still swarming towards the Helios like moths to a flame.

"Om-"

With a soft sound, the entire virtual wall suddenly flickered, the teleportation of the outside world disappeared, and the virtual wall suddenly turned gray in an inactive state.

Lin Xi and Bryce looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

This is bad...

"The amount of those things is too much, and the ashes of the bugs will accumulate on the bottom of the spacecraft, just blocking the launch port," Bryce said grimly, "If this continues, the plasma generator on the ship will be overloaded."

Lin Xi stared blankly at Bryce's lips moving.

The other party's voice could be clearly transmitted to his ears, but Lin Xi found that he had no way to respond to the other party at all.

His soul seemed to be forcibly pulled out of his shell by someone suddenly, everything around him was so real, but at the same time, so illusory.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss... hiss... king..."

"Our...king..."

……

Countless small voices... No, they were not voices, but some kind of thoughts, which began to gather little by little, and then slowly eroded Lin Xi's sanity.
