mother of all races

……

"Lin... Lin... Wake up... Lin!"

"Well……"

"Lin Xi!"

Lin Xi finally broke free from the dark and heavy coma. When he opened his eyes, his vision was blurred, but even amidst the double images and the constant humming in his brain, he could still see that the man next to the sleeping cabin was in a particularly bad situation.

"Bryce?"

Lin Xi made a vague inquiry.

And it wasn't until he opened his mouth that he realized that besides his brain being blurred, his voice was also hoarse as if it had just been rubbed with sandpaper. With the vibration of his vocal cords, Lin Xi's throat burst into a thick Rust smell.

The underside of the nose is sticky and wet.

Lin Xi wiped her nose, and was not surprised to see the bright red blood on her fingers.

To make matters worse, when Lin Xi tried to recall what happened, there was only a blank in his mind.

No, maybe it's not really blank.

Lin Xi still remembered countless noisy beeps and warnings, which finally converged into a roar, and then...shock...

Immediately afterwards, there was severe pain all over the body.

"Damn...what the hell happened...what..."

In addition to the pain, there was an indescribable feeling of nausea and dizziness. Lin Xi unconsciously grasped the edge of the sleeping cabin to prevent herself from being dragged back into a coma by that terrible discomfort again.

The edge of the shattered sleeping compartment cut his palm, but the numbness of his body made it difficult for him to even feel the tingling pain from his palm.

"Take it easy, buddy." Bryce noticed Lin Xi's movement, and he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lin Xi's eyes, "...there is a problem with the transition, do you remember?"

"Transfer...jump..."

With the help of Bryce, Lin Xi climbed out of the sleeping cabin.

His body was limp and weak, no matter what happened, he was lying in the sleeping cabin when that happened, and the sequela of the violent interruption of the cryogenic sleep was whipping him like an invisible whip.

"Sith hasn't given us any more feedback. The only thing we know now is that our Mr. Sun God didn't arrive at the correct position."

Bryce whispered in Lin Xi's ear, and the latter could only lean weakly against the obviously damaged sleep cabin, half-sit on the ground.

Bryce's voice almost sounded like an echo.

Lin Xi looked around her, the pale green light of the emergency lights shrouded the cabin ominously, the metal floor and walls proved the oldness of the spaceship facilities.There are ten sleeping compartments placed side by side in the cabin, and now those transparent shells have either been opened or broken.

There are bloodstains next to several sleep pods.

The lighting system had failed, the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of something burnt, and the anti-shock gel had congealed on the ground, showing an unpleasant yellow-brown color.

The beeping siren made Lynch's headache and dizziness worse.

WARNING - COORDINATES - COORDINATES FAILURE - WARM PROCESS TERMINATED - WARNING - PROCESS CANNOT BE TERMINATED -

In a trance, there seemed to be another steady and indifferent mechanical sound in his ears.

"Well……"

Lin Mao covered his head violently, and after taking a few deep breaths, he realized that it was just an auditory hallucination.

Bryce knelt beside Lin Xi worriedly and injected him with a tube of medicine.

Lin Xi snorted, feeling the cold medicine gradually spread in her blood vessels.

After dozens of seconds, his condition finally stabilized, and the memory and thinking ability that were as hazy as fog before finally slowly returned to his brain.

Just look, when Lin Xi finally realized what happened, he couldn't tell whether it was better to wake up or just continue to be dizzy.

The Helios he was on was a Zeus-class space exploration and scientific research ship with a total length of 300 kilometers, equipped with a five-meter-thick outer wall composed of more than [-] different materials and two An ion engine provided by Anya.This scientific research ship is still a product left over from the era of great exploration. Whether it is shape or volume, it has a strong atmosphere of the times. Yes, the Helios can be called a colossus on Earth... However, compared with the vast universe, Standing up, this huge spaceship is as small as a speck of dust.

A failed transition often means the loss and confusion of coordinates. God knows how much work they will have to find their way back to Earth.

Thinking of this, it's not hard for Lin Xi to understand why Bryce's complexion is so bad.

On the way to take Lin Xi to the emergency room to join the other crew members, Bryce kept nagging uncontrollably.

"...It's my fault. If it wasn't for me, you should still be teaching safely on Earth at this time. You're not me, and you really shouldn't have followed me to that ghostly place full of lunatics to waste your life." The situation in the corridor of the spaceship is better than that in the cabin, at least the lighting facilities are still in operation, Lin Xi turned his head and glanced at Bryce, he noticed that the latter's pupils were trembling slightly due to the extreme tension of the spirit.

"Look at what this group of people have done, damn it, now you're stuck like me—"

"Calm down, man," Lynch sighed and squeezed Bryce's shoulder hard, "You talk like you can control this."

Lin Xi's adopted brother has an unusually tall and muscular body, but few people know that he has a soft heart and a tendency to ... excessive worry.These qualities made Bryce a perfect brother, and made Lin Xi hardly encounter any obstacles when entering Bryce's family. However, when encountering some problems, Lin Xi also had to spare his energy Come to appease each other.

And, to a certain extent, what Bryce said is not completely without reason. It is indeed because of Bryce that Lin Xi will stay in the Helios spacecraft at this time (and endure the mental illness). Nausea and headaches from concussions and disrupted sleep).

He is not a crew member of the Helios (fortunately, otherwise Lin Xi can be sure that Captain Taran will try his best to throw him out of the ship through the domestic waste discharge port).

If it hadn't been for that accident, he would still be a leisurely assistant professor of botany in the Earth-Moon Union University who only needs to worry about his receding hairline.

However, just two years ago, because Bryce participated in a private research project related to the Sunu planet, and this research project needed a "scholar" related to botany and reliable, Lin Xi was sent by the department A dean of the department, who had been displeased with him for a long time, packed up and sent it to the Helios to participate in this so-called "Earth-Sunu cultural and material exchange project".

Of course, everyone knows that this is not a shitty private project at all, it is just a material plunder carried out by the government for some reason - in more common terms, smuggling.

The Sunu star located on the edge of Orion was once a very rich and peaceful planet.

Sunu planet is rich in a special substance "earth milk" that can greatly improve and stimulate the vitality of intelligent creatures, as well as some other handicrafts.It is precisely because of this that the life of the Sunu people is quite moist and peaceful because of their abundant resources. Their appearance is similar to that of human beings, and their technological development is only a little behind that of the earth.

Combining various reasons, the relationship between the earth and Sunu has always been quite good... Until a few decades ago, for some completely inexplicable reasons, the group of innocent and leisurely Sunu people suddenly went crazy.

It is difficult to understand the behaviors of the Sunu people with the human thinking mode, even for the most authoritative Sunu cultural experts recognized by the Earth-Moon Union University.

The group of Sunu fell into madness in various unimaginable ways, including unreasonable suicide and all kinds of appalling cannibalism.In just a few decades, this group of crazy aliens completely messed up the entire planet.In the past, that is, during the normal period, all kinds of materials that were firmly controlled by the Sunu government and would never flow to the outside world—including their most precious ground milk, other rare plants, animals, and precious metals, all Semi-official ways flowed into the pockets of earthlings.

Yes, the Earthlings have expressed regret for the few remaining sane Sunu, but that doesn't mean they'll be relentless when it comes to grabbing the few supplies the poor bastards have.

……

"Besides, I'd rather stay in the same place with you and face all of this than trying to teach a group of empty-headed idiots on Earth while worrying about the news of the disappearance of the spaceship." Lin Xi said sincerely, " On the bright side, at least our old gentleman didn't go straight to pieces in the Slip Fault and ended up in a...uh...some fucking place..."

When passing by the viewfinder, Lin Xi glanced out subconsciously, and then stammered a little because of what she saw.

Completely different from the desolation and silence in the imagination, there are lush creatures on the surface of this strange place. From the perspective of people on earth, those things look like tropical plants.

It's just that tropical plants on the earth don't have such a huge size and such a gorgeous appearance.

In the gaps between those "things", there is a hazy, milky white mist like water vapor.

"This should be an unnumbered asteroid. Thankfully, our old man is quite reliable at certain times. I heard that there was an explosion in the warehouse area, but no matter what, we managed to make an emergency landing." Les glanced at the scene outside following Lin Xi's gaze, and then carefully considered his words, "When I came to you, Sith was still comparing star maps to try to figure out our current location, God bless us not to deviate too far."

"Who knows..."

Lin Xi withdrew her gaze and muttered absently.

This is a living planet-from the standpoint of the passengers of the forced landing spacecraft, this is a good thing, after all, many elements of life survival are somewhat common in the universe.

But for Lin Xi himself, the moment he saw those things, he felt a layer of goose bumps on his body.

He just didn't like the goddamn place for no reason, and he knew it right away.

And in the same way, Talan Ida, the captain of the Helios, obviously had the same idea as Lin Xi. Of course, it wasn't just this strange planet that Talan didn't like, he also didn't like the strange planet on the Helios. All humans, even if those humans were his crew.

When he arrived in the emergency survival room, Taran was yelling furiously.

"I don't care that much—someone has to go to the warehouse to check! Hell, do you even know how important that sculpture is!"

"It's just a strange fossil..."

"Oh, in your eyes, a fossil that is still alive and can produce 'ground milk' after billions of years is just 'weird'? I really hope you can remember that we are here for this thing It took two years to go all the way to that damn planet of lunatics! And now, it’s staying in the warehouse, and all the information has been cut off! Now it’s not about letting you bastards hide in the safety zone, crying and laziness Time! I need to know its status! Now! Immediately!"

The moment the metal door opened smoothly, Lin Xi frowned unhappily when he heard Talan's hoarse scream.

If he hadn't boarded the Helios, it would be hard for Lin Xi to imagine that someone like Talan could become the captain of a space exploration ship

When encountering such ghost problems as the failure of the warp, he should have appeared calm and calm, reassuring people, and organized the crew on the ship to repair and save himself as quickly as possible.

But the man standing in the middle of the room is as irritable and frantic as a wild orangutan who has been robbed of bananas.

Lin Xi even thought that wild orangutans would be better than Talan. After all, orangutans would not be as neurotic, crazy, or insane as Talan.

"After forcibly interrupting low-temperature sleep, humans need at least 2 hours to alleviate the sequelae of the interruption, not to mention the sub-wave resonance caused by the failure of the transition itself and the direct impact of the forced landing! The bridge leading to the warehouse has broken, where It's very dangerous now, at least we can't let them go down until other people recover from the sequelae..."

Lisa, the first officer, was petite and mild-tempered, and at one time during the two-year voyage she acted as a lubricant between Taran and the rest of the crew.However, at this moment, the gentle aura on her body was gone, and she was standing in front of the other surviving crew members with a livid face, and said coldly to Taran.

The arrival of Lin Xi and Bryce interrupted the feisty dispute.

But at the same time, the moment they walked in, Talan and Alisa's eyes fell on them.

It's just that Talan looked at Lin Xi, while Alisa looked at Bryce. The eyes of the pair behind them blended together, tender and tender, you and me, and Talan looked at Lin Xi His gaze was as sharp as a poisoned knife.

Lin Xi: "...cough cough."

I always feel like I'm here at the wrong time.

"Wow, glad to see you alive, Captain Taran."

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and greeted Talan.

Everyone can hear that the sentence "I'm so happy" sounds very insincere.

His tone sounded even regretful.

Taran's eyeballs rolled, and he stared straight at Lin Xi without saying a word.

He was a very thin man, so thin that Lin Xi even wondered how he passed the health check when he boarded the ship.The skin that was so white that there was no trace of blood stretched tightly on his skull, and the shape of his bones could almost be seen clearly, which made Taran look like some kind of mummified corpse, and his eye sockets The two inlaid eyeballs revealed a strange and crazy aura from time to time.

I have to say that when he looked at a person like this, even Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

Lin Xi subconsciously glanced at her brother.

In fact, when he first boarded the ship, Talan was not as wrong as he is now. However, I don’t know if it was because the things they brought back to Earth for scientific research this time were too precious, or because the things in Talan’s body were too precious. The rumored thin Sunu blood is at work. In short, since the ion engine of the Helios was activated and the spacecraft left the Sunu planet, Talan has become more and more weird and neurotic.
