mother of all races

But then again, even when Talan Yida didn't show anything wrong with him, the relationship between Lin Xi and him was quite bad.

As for this "scientific research project", this tall, thin, pale man showed a paranoia and desire for control that normal people can't understand.

Lynch had no doubts that, if possible, Taran would have numbered every single plastic bolt on the Helios, counting them back and forth every night.

However, in front of such a captain, Lin Xi couldn't be as "obedient and obedient" as the well-trained professional crew members on the Helios.In fact, even in the Earth-Moon Union University, Lin Xi is famous for being free and unrestrained, otherwise the bald dean would not be so eager to drive him out of the university and even the earth.

Taran simply hated Lin Xi like this, if it weren't for the fact that the goods that the earthlings scavenged from the Sunu planet this time contained dozens of rather delicate Sunu plants, and these cute little things had to be handled by professionals ( "Ha, that's right, it's me!"——Lin Xi) came to take care of him. I'm afraid that Lin Xi had already been solved by Talan when the voyage just started.

However, considering that Bryce Drake is his brother and also the medical officer of the Helios, the conflict between Taran and Lin Xi was finally suppressed within a controllable range.In the later part of the voyage, as Talan's nervousness increased, Lin Xi also spent more time in the breeding laboratory to avoid Talan.

Lin Xi originally thought that the days when he and Ta Lan hated each other would soon be over, but looking at the current situation, his good expectations were visibly dashed to the naked eye.

Taran was still looking at him with a hideous look.

"captain……"

Seeing that Taran's gaze at Lin Xi became sharper and weirder, Bryce couldn't help but whispered, and then took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, blocking Lin Xi.

"Dr. Lynch, you look fine."

Taran finally spoke quietly, as if he hadn't seen Bryce at all, his attention was on Lin Xi from beginning to end.

"The sequelae of the concussion don't seem to have caused you any trouble. I don't think it has anything to do with the medical officer Bryce? But I heard that he brought a few extra medicines on board... just because he had a Fragile, delicate brother of a scholar, oh, yes, his brother is said to have a particularly severe space dizziness."

Taran whispered eccentrically.

Lin Xi's space vertigo is indeed very serious. In the past two years, if it weren't for the potions that Bryce had prepared for him in advance, he would probably wake up with endless nightmares and auditory hallucinations every night.

Beside the broken sleeping cabin, Bryce injected Lin Xi with the last medicine.

It's just that it is obviously a very normal thing, but it is said by Talan in this way, but it has a different kind of weird meaning.

Both Alisa and Bryce frowned involuntarily.

"Those were approved—"

"I just heard you worry about the condition of those goods in the warehouse."

Before Bryce tried to explain, Lin Xi spoke first.

"Ah……"

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Xi's response, a smile appeared on Taran's lips.

This shit man really did it on purpose, Lin Xi thought silently, put his hand behind his back, and raised his middle finger at Taran.

"Yes, I'm worried, very, very worried," Taran whispered softly, he stretched out a hand and pressed on his chest, and then his weird and viscous eyes shifted away , swept the face of Alisa who had confronted him before, "However, some people have been very worried about the condition of the crew, especially the sequelae of transition and interrupted sleep. However, Dr. Lin Xi does not seem to have such Troubled."

Lynch's head was actually hurting like hell right now and he was nauseous all the time - he wished he could spit straight into Taran's freaky face.

However, today is different.

This is not a dull, smooth and boring normal flight time, now it is a shitty moment when the jump fails, the forced landing and you can't find your own coordinates at all-at this time, Lin Xi doesn't want Bryce and Alyssa to waste any more Their precious energies were spent dealing with Taran, or mediating his secret battle with the madman.

So Lin Xi took over the task sent by Talan quite directly.

Of course, Bryce and Alyssa resisted in every possible way. However, just like what Lin Xi worried about, when you have a spaceship that fails to make a transition and has to be forced to land on an unknown planet, a group of people in extremely bad conditions If you don’t have a good crew and an exceptionally unreasonable captain, then many of your worries and resistances can only be discussed afterward.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xi was already standing at the entrance to the lower warehouse. He got a piece of Slavic exoskeleton light armor as equipment for exploring the lower warehouse.

This piece of armor is thick, extremely maneuverable and equipped with an independent survival system, which is even enough for Lin Xi to wear it directly for extraspace activities. The only problem is that it is somewhat too large for the interior of a spacecraft like the Helios. bulky.

With great reluctance, Lin Xi allowed herself to manipulate the light armor to squeeze down the dimly lit lower space from the gangway.

"...Because of the impact, we have completely lost power support and communication from floors b-1 to c-12. I think the system settings must have been stuck during the severe vibration--hi Lin Xi, no need Regardless of that guy Taran, you have to know that your safety is always the most important."

Alisa's soft voice came from the communication system.

Lin Xi inserted the mechanical claw into the wall of the ventilation duct, and slowly walked around a pile of deformed support structure fragments.

He is slowly descending.

Even the emergency lighting didn't work, and the place was as dark as the bottom of the sea.

"Of course, but if it's for you, I'm still willing to work hard to fix those damn system settings." Manipulating the Slavic light armor made Lin Xi involuntarily start panting, and he muttered to Alisa.

Lin Xi believed that her sweat must have completely soaked her one-piece inner lining.

He had to hypnotize himself, the clumsy metal set outside his body more or less represented the love from Bryce so as not to curse directly.

"I know you're cursing me, honey."

Just as that thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind, Bryce's voice was also transmitted.

"I'm just in case, no one knows if the cargo storage facility is still powered on. If the emergency equipment is also down, there will be problems with the sealing and isolation of those things. I don't want you to Risking contact with something that shouldn't be touched..."

Even in the communication, Bryce is particularly nagging.

Lin Xi's feet had already stepped on a solid ground, and the screen inside the armor showed that he had arrived at the location of the warehouse on the first floor.

Relying on the dark environment, Lin Xi rolled her eyes heartily in the light armor.

"Please, those are just some special products of Sunu. When we were young, we went to the Sunu Wente Exhibition several times. I even stroked those beautiful Sunu star butterflies with my own hands... Oh, yes, I remember At that time, you were so jealous that you almost cried in the museum... If those Sunu gadgets really had some alien virus that you imagined, you and I would have died a long time ago. I don’t know how many times—”

"Hey, Bryce, are you still listening?"

There was an unpleasant hissing sound from the honeycomb communicator.Lin Xi squinted at the screen, the communication symbol had changed from lovely green to red.

"Go fuck-"

Lin Xi cursed.

He knew that these old antiques left over from the era of great exploration are prone to failures of one kind or another...

However, apart from feeling somewhat bad, Lin Xi's actions were not affected by the sudden interruption of communication.

He quickly checked the warehouse between c12 and b-7.

The closer to the lower warehouse, the more serious the damage. The only good news is that the goods that Lin Xi has inspected are basically in good condition——

In addition to the valuables storage area in b-3.

That's right, it was the location of the fossil site that made Taran extra irritable and sensitive.

Lin Xi skillfully used the armored mechanical arm to lift off a thick steel plate, and then with the help of searchlights, he saw clearly the situation in area B-3.

"Oh, this is really bad."

Lin Xi sighed, feeling that her headache seemed to get worse again.

The solid and hard protective layer of the valuables storage area had a counterproductive effect in this accident. Those heavy alloys directly crushed the storage container wrapped in the fossil sculpture during the squeeze caused by the forced landing.

It's like letting a three year old run into a crystal craft supply store to play hide and seek, with shards of hard composite resin and overflowing gel all over the place.

And the sculpture of the Sunu sacred object has slipped out of the container and fell wet on the ground.

Under the strong light of the searchlight, it showed a strange bluish-white color.

This sculpture is carved directly from fossils, but anyone can see that the Sunu craftsmen did not leave too many carving marks on it, and it still retains the fossils to a large extent. In its original appearance, it was a group of irregular and smooth pupae.

Only at the very top of the fossil, there are countless intricate and detailed lines carved, which suddenly looks a bit like the face of a human being when he is dying.Lin Xi took a step forward, only to realize that the so-called "face" was just an illusion under the light.

That thing is actually more like the mouthparts of some kind of extraordinarily huge insect, and Lin Xi can even see the sharp and ferocious teeth and the elongated tongue.

"This thing is disgusting."

Even though he knew that the communication had been cut off long ago, after seeing the fossil sculpture clearly, Lin Xi still muttered to himself involuntarily.Considering that its innermost part still retains biological activity, and it can also secrete the secretion called "ground milk", Lin Xi feels more and more that what she is facing is the corpse of some kind of animal rather than a fossil.

It looked... almost as if it could start wriggling again the next second.
