mother of all races

Priority removal target: Scripps Farners (infection rate: 41%

Accompanied by a large number of abnormal data flow alerts.

Lin Xi heard "myself" speaking calmly to Scripps in the same soft voice as before.

I'm sorry, Captain Scripps, your physiological index is abnormal-

WARNING: Data flow exception

...you have been listed as a priority removal target for the quest

Warning: severe data flow exception

Your permissions have been frozen——

Warning: severe data flow exception

……

The flashing warning flashed at the same time as the mechanical electronic notification...

It was too late, at the same moment when Hal told Captain Scripps that the authority was frozen in the alarm accompanied by the data stream, those cold and weird killing machines had slowly spread out their deadly metal tentacles, like ghosts, He rushed towards those who hadn't recovered from their senses at all.

……

"No... can't..."

Lin Xi let out a scream, his body softened suddenly, and then fell directly in front of him.

Of course, he couldn't really fall. The moment Xavier fell, Xavier's wings had already leaned over and surrounded her...

Lin Xi came back to his senses and realized that he had spent such a long time in the fugue, but maybe not even a second in real life.

Even the frail body hanging on his arm and the extremely old soul inside have not completely lost consciousness.

The terrifying man suddenly turned his head, his pupils were already covered with a thick layer of white mist.He aimed directly at Lin Xi.

"...no one can escape."

He let out a low murmur, and then Lin Xi felt that his hands were heavy, and the body that belonged to Shizuo Ando completely lost its vitality.

he died.

"What happened? Are you okay? Lin Xi..."

"What the hell did that guy do to you?"

"Lin Xi—"

Everything happened so fast that it was unimaginable.

As Shizuo Ando's body slammed to the ground, other people made panicked inquiries, especially Bryce. If it wasn't for Alyssa's efforts to persuade him, Lin Xi even suspected that he would cause asthma due to rapid breathing. .

But facing his dearest brother, Lin Xi seemed a little ruthless at this time-he didn't waste any time to comfort the panicked Bryce (and Sith and Alisa, of course).

He stood up abruptly and slipped out from under Xavier's nimble wings.Immediately afterwards, he threw Ando's body on the ground like trash.

Lin Xi turned his head, and he looked at Bryce, Alisa, and Sith with a strange look.

The faces of the three humans were all extremely bad.

In that brief moment, what emerged in his mind were the images he had seen at that moment just now.

His lips trembled slightly. Compared with him now, even Ando, ​​who had already died, looked pretty good.

"I made a mistake about one thing."

Lin Xi murmured.

"Those damned RoboCop don't just target alien species, they... will attack all living creatures indiscriminately."

When talking about this, Lin Xi almost subconsciously lied.

If the scenes that the "Captain Scripps" consumed a body to let him see were true...then some of Lin Xi's previous conjectures might also be true.

Even people who don't seem to have any abnormalities at all may be contaminated by the special genes of the alien species.

However, those killing machines produced by Dell...they will kill all polluted people without discrimination.

Considering that Bryce and Alyssa have already ingested food bags before, and in order to participate in this mission, they must have also been injected with the vaccines that must be vaccinated when contacting aliens.

Lin Xi has no doubts at all, under the judgment of those "ghost" robots, Alisa and Bryce will definitely become the targets of elimination.

"We have to speed up, you have to leave as soon as possible before those damn mechanical warriors come here."

Lin Xi winked at Xavier, and the next moment, their speed accelerated.

In this way, amid Sith's occasional uncontrollable screams, Lin Xi and Xavier quickly walked along the dark and particularly gloomy corridor directly to the lower deck.

"boom--"

Not long after, the group heard a huge roar.

The entire Helios spacecraft shook heavily amidst the roar.

At that time, Lin Xi and Xavier were walking directly down an abandoned elevator shaft. The violent vibration almost caused Lin Xi to fall directly towards the bottom of the elevator shaft—but at the critical moment, the pair behind Xavier The seemingly cumbersome wings played a major role. It staggered and flew up while dragging three humans, and then directly stuck Lin Xi in his body with the hugging feet protruding from the back of its wings. arms.

"thanks--"

After Lin Xi came to his senses, he looked up at Xavier with a calm face and bright eyes, and said.

"Lin Xi, little one, be careful."

Xavier stammered.

In the pitch-black elevator shaft, the phosphorescence on its wings turned a striking pink.

"Ahem——" The person who interrupted Lin Xi and Xavier's gaze was Bryce, who coughed vigorously.

... In order to hug Lin Xi, Xavier switched the other three people to their strong hind limbs, and hooked them randomly on both sides of the back of the body.

In this pose, Bryce and Alyssa can clearly see Xavier and Lynch hugging each other tightly.

Considering Xavier's obvious half-human, half-worm features, coupled with their angle problems, the scene of Xavier hugging Lin Xi really looks a bit too scary and...subtle.

"Bryce—"

Alyssa elbowed Bryce hard.

It's just that at this time Lin Xi had already realized something because of Bryce's coughing, and he broke free from Xavier's arms suddenly.

"Let's go on."

he said dryly.

The situation is actually quite bad.

The vibration just now obviously came from the mechanical warriors—they probably broke through the swarm and the covenant shield and entered the interior of the spaceship.

They are very close to them.

During this process, from time to time, there would be that extremely painful scream from the outside of the elevator shaft.

He clearly knew that the neighing came from a certain species, but the extreme pain contained in that voice still made people feel their stomach churning.

And every time this time came, Lin Xi's head would experience a tingling pain.

He has more or less some kind of spiritual connection with his family members, but now this connection has become a huge burden.

From time to time, the mental fluctuations emanating from those alien species who died miserably would feed back into Lin Xi's spiritual world...

In this case, Xavier's breath, its presence, and even the pink phosphorescence from its wings turned out to be a powerful consolation.

Although it feels weird—but Lin Xi has to admit this, in such a critical situation, he and Xavier actually have some feeling of being dependent on each other.

Moreover, under the premise that Xavier was responsible for transporting the three humans, they arrived at their destination quite smoothly.

The lifeboat of the Helios was parked quietly in the warehouse.

It looks small and fragile.

"...We really need to use this thing to escape back to Earth?"

Bryce asked in horror as soon as he saw the lifeboat.

"We will carefully check all the parts of the spaceship before each departure. Although the lifeboat is not designed for long-distance flights, but..."

Alisa was still trying to ease Bryce up to this point.

But when she opened the hatch of the lifeboat and glanced at the furnishings inside, she finally declared her surrender.

"... Can this thing really take us back?"

She stared at the extremely crude equipment in the rescue cabin and muttered to herself.

The space in the rescue capsule is very narrow, and most of the space is occupied by two low-temperature hibernation chambers located at the rear of the cabin.
