[Rebirth] Alien Royalty
43 - Metal Box
Chapter 43
Lu Xiao had a very long dream. He dreamed that after being hit by that car, he did not die, but was sent to the hospital and was revived.When he woke up, he was lying on a neat white hospital bed, with his mother and father beside the bed.
There is no prince of the planet, no experimental base, the universe is far away from him, he is just an ordinary earthling, and what greets him next is a carefree and ordinary life.
When Meng woke up, what Lu Xiao saw was still the endless black universe in front of him, dotted with countless stars.
He was breathing smoothly, but his head was still a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen and lethargy for a while.
Lu Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at himself. A whole set of protective clothing was taken off to his waist.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice came from beside him.
Turning his head to meet his dark green eyes, Lu Xiao shook his head: "Ah... Nord?"
...He was really saved by Arnold?he is still alive?
"It's me," Arnold replied with a chuckle, turning his head to look straight ahead, "Get ready for one last jump, we'll be back soon."
Lu Xiao didn't know what to say for a while.He stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, and the memories of every moment when he was dying flooded into his mind. An excitement of resurrecting from the dead rose in his heart, and he also had lingering fears of being driven to a desperate situation, and his body trembled slightly.
"After we go back," Arnold paused, "I will have a good talk with Luna."
Lu Xiao opened his eyes wide.
The messy thoughts in his mind before he passed out reappeared, Lu Xiao froze for a moment, and made a decision in an instant - there was no barrier between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and he grabbed Arnold's arm.
Arnold froze for a moment, then turned to look at the blond man.
"...I remembered."
"What do you remember?" Arnold asked with a smile, with a little imperceptible tenderness in his tone.
"The secret base you want." Lu Xiao stared at him and said.
The smile disappeared.
Arnold looked at the people beside him, as if he was judging whether his head was really awake, and asked after a while: "Just remembered?"
"Ah."
silence.
Arnold's hand moved away from the console.The aircraft stagnated in the universe, floating.
Arnold's reaction was not as happy as Lu Xiao imagined, which made him a little suspicious: "...Don't you always want me to remember?"
"Well, that's right, I've been waiting for you for so long..." Arnold said, looking across Lu Xiao's face.He was also a little surprised by his own reaction.
He didn't understand what the complicated emotions in his heart were.
After sorting out his thoughts, Arnold said, "Are you sure what you remembered is really a secret base?"
"I'm sure, and I wouldn't tell you if I wasn't sure."
Arnold pondered for a moment, and said: "Then I will take you back to the base first, and let's go after checking your body."
"I'm not sure if I can still remember that location after wasting so much time," Lu Xiao said, "After all, I dreamed about it while dreaming, and it is possible to forget the things in the dream at any time."
Arnold narrowed his eyes.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"You should be the one who is in a hurry," Lu Xiao said softly, "Didn't you keep urging me to remember?"
"...That's right," Arnold twitched the corners of his mouth, suppressed the irritability in his heart, looked away, and put his hands on the console, "Then tell me the location, Lu Xiao."
Although the planet where the secret base is located is a planet where living things can live, just in case, Lu Xiao listened to Arnold's instructions and took off the entire protective suit.
The aircraft is equipped with an oxygen tank, and the two thin tubes connected to the oxygen tank are connected to the two ports on the back of the protective suit, and the protective suit starts to replenish oxygen.
Arnold called up the interstellar map, which marked all the planets in the star field.
Lu Xiao closed his eyes and recalled several times, and finally identified a planet.The vehicle soon made its first jump.
The two seldom gossip on the way.
Lu Xiao leaned against the back of the chair, thinking about many things in his head.
He touched his left wrist subconsciously, and there was a circle of red and swollen scars where he was directly shocked by the electric shock, and it still hurts when he touched it.
Arnold glanced at him, then his eyes fell to the scar around his left wrist.
"The planet just now, we called it the 'cemetery'." He took the initiative to speak.
Lu Xiao looked at him.
"We buried all the people who died in the base there. Some of them died of normal old age, but a larger part died of the side effects of the experiment, or they died when we cleaned the star field. Remember the name We all left our names there, but there were still some people that none of us could recognize."
"After the base became the place where we lived, the remaining experimental subjects gradually got used to the new life, and some of them began to reveal their true nature, changing from 'victims' to 'perpetrators'. Those few people were arrested by us, After discussion, we put protective clothing on them, gave them the last eight hours, and threw them to the cemetery to become grave guards," Arnold said in a calm tone, "This is almost the most important thing in that base. It should be severely punished, but usually it is done after everyone agrees."
"...If the rule of voting by the minority obeys the majority, it is not impossible for me to be thrown there."
Arnold didn't deny it.
As long as Lu Xiao stays in that base, he will always be passive.
Being off base, while uncertain, isn't necessarily worse than staying there.
Perhaps when Cecil and the others extended an invitation to him before, he should have considered it more carefully.It's because he didn't consider the influence of Luna's explosion. What happened to Carl became the fuse. The power of the explosion exceeded Lu Xiao's initial imagination.
How could he have naively thought that he would be temporarily safe in that base?
For almost three hours, after five jumps, the planet that was "seen" by the power body was close in front of my eyes.
Overcoming the influence of gravity, the aircraft was rubbed and trembled in the atmosphere. After successfully entering the atmosphere, Lu Xiao couldn't open his eyes for a while.
The sun is too bright.This kind of light is completely different from the light I felt when I was on the moon-like planet before!
The familiar blue sky and white clouds, the familiar rivers and bushes, although there are no tall buildings, cities and figures, everything is still very primitive, but Lu Xiao still feels slightly warm in the eye sockets.
The aircraft did not land on the ground, but flew at a height of several hundred meters above the ground.
"Can you remember the exact location of the secret base?"
It is difficult to collect the surface map of the entire planet at once, so Arnold can only keep the aircraft flying to see if the people around him can remember it.If there is really no way to determine the exact location, then today we can only turn back temporarily.
"Yes, you can fly in the direction I said." Lu Xiao said firmly, which surprised Arnold.
In fact, Lu Xiao had already released his power body.
The rabbit has already found the lawn in memory, and then they just need to fly to the position where the force body extends.
Lu Xiao directly used his fingers, and at the same time reminded Arnold to adjust the angle of the aircraft with words.
"Is this also your super power?" Arnold asked while controlling the aircraft, "How did you manage to leave me that line before?"
"...I don't want to say it." Lu Xiao said it very bluntly.
Arnold raised his eyebrows, but did not press the question.
During the flight of the aircraft, a group of flying beasts flew towards them, but they broke up and let out panic calls.
When the aircraft landed on the lawn, several beasts of medium size also hurried away and fled into the forest.
Lu Xiao thinks these creatures are a bit like dinosaurs, but they are not as big as the dinosaurs in his impression. Most of them are only about two meters high. Of course, he does not rule out the possibility that there are taller beasts deep in the jungle. He only hopes that those beasts will not treat them Just be interested.
After stepping off the aircraft, the two came to the lawn.
With soft soil and green grass under his feet, Lu Xiao breathed in the fresh air and stretched his body.
This long-lost feeling - he really didn't want to go back to that dark base at all.
Arnold also looked around in silence, and his eyes returned to the blond man: "Then what about the secret base?"
It is probably summer in this place at present, and it is very hot. Lu Xiao rolled up his sleeves, calmed down and looked around, walked to a certain spot on the lawn, squatted down and pushed aside the grass blades to search, and found the hiding place. of a hatch.
After opening the outer cabin door, he opened the inner cabin door through iris scanning, and the downward staircase appeared in front of the two of them.
The two looked at each other, Lu Xiao went down first, Arnold followed, and closed the hatch from the inside after getting down.
Originally, there was no light in the base, but the moment Lu Xiao started to go down the stairs, the lights in the base automatically sensed and all lights up.
The stairway is about ten meters.
After climbing down, you can have a panoramic view of the not-so-big laboratory in front of you.
The cabinet is full of medicine bottles and paper materials, the computer on the side table, the clock on the wall...
Everything that I had "seen" in my mind really appeared before my eyes, but it was all covered with a thick layer of dust.Lu Xiao walked in a few steps, but at first he was still attracted by the huge metal box placed in the corner.
Arnold's pupils constricted when he saw the two-meter-long metal box.
He seemed to have found the target all at once, walked straight over step by step, and stood in front of the metal box, his back stiffened.
"...Is this what you're looking for here?" Lu Xiao asked standing behind him.
It feels a bit expected, after all, the existence of this metal box is really abrupt, and Lu Xiao also wondered what it was at the beginning.
"This requires an iris scan to open." Arnold turned to look at him.
Lu Xiao walked over, knelt down and looked at the scanning hole on the side of the box for a while, a light swept across, and with a sound of "beep -", a weak air flow sprayed on Lu Xiao's face.
Lu Xiao stood up, Arnold took a step forward, and put his hand on the edge of the box.
"Do you want me to avoid it?" Seeing that the man was still not moving, Lu Xiao asked.
"No," Arnold tilted his head, with a helpless smile on his lips, "I just hope you won't be too surprised when you see what's inside later."
Lu Xiao was taken aback.
Is it his illusion?It seemed that even Arnold himself was nervous, and this was the first time he had felt this way from this man.
What exactly is in this box?
Arnold closed his eyes, let out a slow breath, opened his eyes, and flipped the heavy metal cover up.
As the lid was opened, a gust of cold air drifted out.
The white mist dissipated, and after seeing the situation inside the metal box clearly, Lu Xiao took a step back!
