The originally peaceful underground base began to stir restlessly. Due to the detection of the energy waves from Silin's gunshot, the dormant defense system of the base was activated, and the stagnant power system also began to operate. There were already lights in many places, but they were all warning lights.
A mechanical voice sounded. "External threat detected, please enter password!"
"F * ck, why is there such a thing as a password!" Lung yelled.
"Password incorrect, please enter again!"
"…" Lung fell silent and looked at Silin.
Silin made an 'I don't know' expression. They didn't expect that the defense system of a base that had been buried underground for so many years wouldn't be completely crippled.
After a moment of silence.
The mechanical voice sounded again. "Once again, external threat detected, please enter password!"
Silin looked at Huimao, who was squatting there in a daze.
Lung was fiddling with an instrument in his hand, but didn't say anything.
The mechanical voice sounded for the third time. "No valid password available, commencing terminal command!"
"Terminal command? What terminal command? "Lung asked.
Silin suddenly recalled that laboratory under that slum town, if all these crazy researchers were like that, then that meant …
"Hurry and leave, the base's self-destruct sequence has been activated!" Silin dragged Lung and Huimao outside.
"Self-destruct?! F * ck, how could I bear to do that?! "Lung complained as he ran.
"Less nonsense, hurry and leave, I don't want to become a fossil!" Silin rushed in front.
"I don't want to either!"
The two men and a cat rushed back the way they came, but the tunnel they came from was already closed. Lung brought up the scanned map of the base and prepared to look for another tunnel.
"There's no time, have your robots dig!" Silin yelled.
"But this isn't the entrance, the wall is too hard, digging through it will take a lot of time, and using too much energy will cause the base to collapse!" Lung said as he gave the digging robots an order, and it was just as he said.
Because this underground base was a bit more complicated, Lung didn't bring many robots, only the ones to scout and dig. When the small digging robot was folded, it looked like a Frisbee. When digging, it would unfold a few metal pieces to form a certain angle, like a drill bit, and drill through the obstacles in front of it.
However, it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into this underground base. The walls that were not connected to the passageways were all reinforced with multiple layers. If they wanted to drill through, they would have to use high-energy light beams. However, time waited for no one.
Looking at the digging robot's results, Silin said to Huimao, "Wheeze, go! Be the vanguard! "
Then, Lung watched as the cat drilled a hole through the multi-layered reinforced wall that his own robot was laboriously using its Advanced Cutting Beam to bore a hole in two seconds.
With this hole, it would be much easier to expand the hole.
Huimao took the lead to open the hole, and the digging robot worked hard to expand the hole behind it. Silin Helong climbed up the hole.
"What is that sound?" Lung asked.
"Desertification."
"Damn it!"
Although Lung didn't think he was good at math, he could still calculate that at this rate, they would definitely be turned into sand in ten seconds.
The good thing was that there weren't that many reinforced walls here. After breaking through the walls, the rock and soil outside would move much faster.
The rustling sound behind them was even more dangerous than a rattlesnake. Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds …
We can get out!
The moment they rushed out of the ground, the two quickly used their hoverboards and jumped up. Silin picked up Huimao, and then stepped on the hoverboard and flew into the distance.
The second the two left the ground, the hole they rushed out of had already been turned into sand, and the range of the sand was still expanding.
"Scared, scared me to death! Damn this underground base, so dangerous … "
Before Lung could finish venting his emotions, there was a loud boom. The expanding wave of air directly sent the two hoverboards that hadn't flown too far into the air flying far away.
Bang, bang. Silin Helong fell to the ground one after another.
"Pei! Pei! "Lung spat out the sand in his mouth. Right now, he didn't have the time to complain. His mouth was full of sand.
The two of them were covered in dust and sand, and they were in a sorry state.
"Those lunatics are really ruthless. I always thought they would keep this base and visit it again when they have the chance. I didn't expect them to directly turn it into sand, and even cause a huge explosion …"
Cillin shot a glance at Lung. To think that this guy could still talk so energetically at a time like this.
Recalling the scene he saw in the base, where the experimental subjects were kept, the last few cages were empty. In other words, the important experimental subjects had already been moved or escaped long ago. The remaining ones were all abandoned and didn't have the ability to escape.
As for the most precious experimental subjects, the researchers wouldn't let their results go to waste. How could they leave behind the things they had researched with so much difficulty?
"F * ck, there's too little time. I didn't have the time to get any information at all." Lung looked at the information displayed in his hand and said regretfully. When the defense system was activated, the device in Lung's hand took the opportunity to hack into the system to steal useful information. However, the results weren't good.
Silin leaned to the side and held up Huimao's cat head. The cat's eyes clearly flashed.
Tsk, he still doesn't know how to lie.
Silin raised his eyelids and didn't look at Huimao anymore.
It seemed that when the defense system and other propulsion systems were automatically activated, Huimao also took the opportunity to hack into those systems and steal some information. Moreover, he gained quite a bit, much faster than Lung's device. However, the information he obtained was quite a blow to Huimao. Using animals and humans to carry out molecular biochemical experiments was too horrifying for Huimao.
Silin stood up, kicked off the sand all over his body, and then sat on the ground with his legs spread out, patting the device and sighing. "Let's go. Don't sit here anymore. Who knows, there might be some follow-up trouble."
"Looks like there's nothing else. Then let's return to the starship directly." Lung pulled up the information sent by the various robots. A few important sampling points had already been taken care of. Some of the fossils had been selectively excavated, and there was enough space on the spaceplane to store these things.
Silin nodded. However, after taking a few steps, Silin stopped again. He saw Huimao looking around.
"What's the matter?" Silin asked.
"Something is watching us." Huimao looked in a certain direction.
It was normal for there to be some beasts around them. As long as they didn't attack them, they wouldn't deliberately hunt them. Most of these beasts were modified creatures. Their primeval genes had long been modified, so strictly speaking, they didn't qualify as food. That was why Silin Helong didn't have any plans to actively hunt them for now.
However, when Silin followed the direction Huimao was looking at, he saw a small half of a face.
Yes, a face.
It was a young face.
It didn't look much different from a human, except that its face was covered in dust, so its original appearance couldn't be seen clearly. The tuft of red hair on its head was very eye-catching.
Lung also saw it now. That fellow was hiding behind a rock on a short mountain not too far away, only revealing the upper half of its face. Its eyes were filled with curiosity.
Seeing three pairs of eyes looking at it, the fellow hiding behind the rock shrunk its head with a whoosh, but it peeked out again a few seconds later.
"Hey, little fellow, where did you come from?" Silin asked.
Seemingly sensing that the owner of these three pairs of eyes didn't have any ill intentions, the fellow slowly walked out … it should be considered as walking. It walked out on all fours. Its ears were pointed, and there was hair at the edge. Behind it, there was a tail that was wagging, indicating that it didn't have any ill intentions.
Silin Helong looked at each other. Hellguard dog!
However, how could there be such a small one? Could it be that it was born from those hellguard dogs that were abandoned here?
One had to know that those with excellent genes were all taken away by the research institute when they left. Those that were left behind were of slightly lower quality. However, looking at this little fellow, from the perspective of a test subject, it seemed to be a success. It was like how humans with B and B genes gave birth to an A gene baby.
There were some injuries on this little fellow's body. The wounds were very fresh, and they were still bleeding. Looking at the sand on them, it should have been caused by the explosion earlier.
Silin took out a bag of jerky, tore a small opening, and tossed it over. If he walked over directly, this little fellow would definitely run away.
Suddenly, an unknown object was tossed over. The little fellow trembled and took a few steps back. However, it was quickly attracted by the aroma of the jerky. It carefully went over and sniffed it. Feeling that there was no problem, it ate the unopened bag of jerky.
Looking at this little fellow that should be six or seven years old by human standards, directly chewing the whole bag of jerky and swallowing it, Long suddenly felt a little tight in his throat.
What kind of monstrous structure was this fellow's esophagus made of?
After eating the jerky, the little fellow licked its mouth. It seemed that it hadn't had enough. It looked at Silin with bright eyes and wagged its tail behind it even more than before.
Silin was about to throw another bag of jerky to it, but the little fellow's eyes suddenly changed from innocent and harmless to full of murderous intent. At that moment, even Silin Helong could clearly feel that strong murderous intent.
Puff!
The little fellow stretched out its claws that were more than ten centimeters long, and with a kick, it rushed in one direction.
Using both its hands and feet to run like a wild beast, it even let out a low growl from its throat. At this moment, it was truly the guard dog of this' hell '.
Long brought up the image captured by the aerial detector. In the image, this little fellow was charging towards a ferocious beast that was more than ten meters tall that looked like a lion.
Its speed and ferocity were completely different from before.
"This is a 'Cerberus', even if it's just a young one. They're still quite friendly towards creatures other than prey. They won't take the initiative to attack. They'll only act like this when they're facing prey. " Long sighed. "My old man once said that Cerberus is a type of slave that's deeply engraved into their genes. Regardless of whether it's them or their descendants, they're completely enslaved. They'll always remember what their master says, and will never think for themselves. Even if they still look like humans, their humanity has already disappeared. "
Cerberus. Even if they were their descendants, that command was implanted into their very bones. It was like a kind of innate nature. They would completely copy a certain memory of the previous generation and remember the scent of the prey that needed to be hunted. The scent originated from the prey's genes, and they would hunt for their entire lives from birth to death.
"Let's go." Long patted Silin's shoulder, "This planet is just one example of the entire Sector S. There are thousands of similar planets, and it's not just Sector S. In fact, other Sectors have similar situations as well. There are plenty of places where such experiments are conducted."
Of course Silin knew what Long was talking about. Wasn't that the underground research lab on Planet Brown Earth? It was a place that no one knew about for decades, and if Silin hadn't accidentally barged into it, it would still be as dark as ever.
Long couldn't be bothered to collect the samples himself, so the robots he sent out had already taken care of everything. Lakes and other places with abundant water sources were especially important areas.
When Silin Helong arrived at the spaceplane on a hoverboard, the robots Long sent out were moving the collected items onto the spaceplane. They had also given some of the large skeletons very good care, and they were much more reliable than Long himself. This was probably one of the reasons his father had sent so many robots to accompany him.
"It's windy." Long looked at the gray sky, "There might be a storm coming for a place like this. Let's hurry up and leave. I don't want to experience a 'hell' storm. "
Long sat inside the spaceplane's control room and ordered the robots to move faster. He was waiting for the last few samples to be moved onto the spaceplane before taking off immediately.
Silin stood outside the spaceplane. He didn't stay inside the control room like everyone else. Looking down from here, he could see the changes in the area. The changes during the early stages of a storm, the air pressure and humidity were all obvious. The animals were beginning to feel uneasy and were looking for shelter.
Suddenly, a small shadow appeared in Silin's vision. It wasn't as lively as before, and its speed was much slower.
There were wounds all over its body. One of its hind legs was bent and propped on the ground. Both of its arms were also injured to varying degrees. It was trembling and unstable when it supported itself on the ground.
Just like that, it limped over to Silin's side. Its tail drooped behind it, making it look very pitiful.
"Silin, let's go!" Long shouted from inside the spaceplane. After moving everything, Long couldn't wait to leave this place. Staying here made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Huimao moved forward a bit and said hesitantly, "Should I help him?"
Silin shook his head. "Don't go over there." He turned to look at the small figure and stretched out his hand. He opened his fingers and shouted, "I'll count to five. If you can come over by then, I'll take you away!"
Silin felt that the little guy could understand what he meant. According to Celine's calculations, the little fellow would be able to arrive just in time. If there was even the slightest bit of hesitation and he couldn't arrive on time, then Celine would definitely turn around and leave.
However, what was worth celebrating was that after Silin finished speaking, the little guy sped up his pace. His eyes were bright. Behind him, the blood that flowed out from his wounds dripped all over the ground. Very soon, it was covered by the dust blown by the wind.
The little figure swayed left and right in the wind, but his steps were very firm. He walked straight in this direction without slowing down at all.
Long looked at the scene outside through the screen on the spaceplane. He adjusted the image captured by the detector. The lion-like beast that the little guy had rushed over to hunt earlier had already had a thick layer of flesh torn off and was lying there silently. It was being used as a delicious meal by other weaker carnivores before the storm.
That's right, as long as the hellhound moved out, it would either die or its prey would die.
Long used his hand to measure the little figure displayed on the screen. So small.
But, why would the little guy chase after him?
However, looking at the little guy's injuries, if no one helped him, coupled with this storm, he probably wouldn't be able to make it through.
The little guy watched as Silin's five fingers turned into four, then three, two …
Faster, faster!
Even an adult would find it hard to make it through such injuries, right?
When Silin put down the last finger, the little guy fell to the ground in front of Silin, but there was a smile on his face, revealing two sharp teeth.
Carrying the little guy, Silin and Huimao jumped onto the spaceplane.
"Hurry up and leave, the storm is coming!"
"Hurry your sister, now you know to hurry up?!" Long signaled for the robot to take off and leave quickly.
As the spaceplane flew higher and higher, the scenery on the ground began to be covered by the gray color again. However, the ring of the storm was very obvious. After rushing out of the planet, looking at the lightning and thunder in the gray clouds below, Long called up the image captured by the detector that had yet to fly out.
Hell on earth, no, it was hell within hell.
Strong winds and torrential rain, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. A giant tornado that spiraled down from the sky tore apart a standing mountain, and at this time, the earth's crust actually began to move.
Only those who survived such a disaster were worthy of admiration. Whether it was those seemingly weak animals or those huge ferocious beasts, the ones who survived were the strong ones, the winners.
There was no right or wrong in survival.
When they were on the spaceplane, Silin simply treated the little guy's wounds, and when they returned to the starship, he began to nurse the little guy again. After all, the starship had a more complete set of medicines.
However, looking at the little guy's recovery, he could survive with just a little strength. After treating the wound, he gave the little guy an injection of nutrient solution, and then let the little guy rest here. As long as the nutrients kept up, with this animal's physique, he would probably recover very quickly.
The little guy was lying on his side on the sickbed, his broken leg still unable to move after being repaired. At this time, the little guy was bending his arms and resting his head on them, his eyes looking around. Huimao, who was walking back and forth in front of him, attracted the little guy's attention.
After walking around the little guy on the sickbed twice, Huimao went up to sniff and shook his beard. "It smells like a dog."
The little guy whimpered twice, but it was unknown if he understood.
Perhaps because he was too tired, now that he relaxed, the little guy quickly fell asleep. Seeing this, Huimao also yawned, raised his paw to scoop up the little guy's fluffy tail, made a circle around him, and closed his eyes to sleep.
When Silin finished treating the little guy's wounds and returned to the control room, Lung was frowning as he stared straight at the screen.
Seeing Silin enter, Lung raised his eyes and glanced at him. "It's done?"
"Yeah. What the hell are you looking at? "Silin pointed at the screen full of garbled codes.
"I intercepted a transmission code just now, it's made up of secret codes. The analysis system couldn't decipher anything, but this screen is full of garbled codes. It's giving me a headache."
"Bring out the original code, let me try."
Lung gave up his seat, restored the transmission code, and stood at the side expectantly.
Five minutes later, Silin Helong looked at the large butterfly image on the screen, and fell silent.
