"Ah Jun, collision! It's here again! "
Sandora's voice suddenly came through the mental link. Shallow Shallow and I, who had been distracted due to boredom, immediately became alert at the same time.
I felt a headache coming on, so I had to be alert. Shallow Shallow's face was flushed. She seemed to be in high spirits like a cat because there was something fun to do.
I grabbed Fran, who was chatting with the cactus on the table, and prepared to bring her back to the City of Shadows. I asked Sandora about the situation, "Collision? The moon? "
"Mars, concentrated collisions. There have been seventeen collisions so far, and it's still going on. There are fragments of starships colliding with the side of Mars that faces Earth. I have activated the visual filter to prevent human telescopes from seeing them. The reconnaissance aircraft has entered Mars orbit, but it hasn't landed yet."
"Alright, I'll go back now."
"Mm, buy me half a car load of spicy chicken wings on the way back …"
I suddenly understood. It seemed that the situation wasn't as serious as I had imagined.
I was under a lot of pressure to feed such a glutton. It had nothing to do with economics, but it was purely a challenge to my worldview. Have you ever seen a girl ask her boyfriend for snacks using a car load as the basic unit of measurement?! How am I going to explain to the food industry in the city when Sandora asks me for snacks by the car load …
"Fran, let's go home."
I called out to Miss, who had climbed onto the table and was chatting with the cactus again. I wanted to get Liliana to improve the amulet one more time. At the very least, I had to get rid of the side effect of squeezing one's intelligence. If this continued, when Fran's sister came back, I would have to carry Miss Liliana who looked like Forrest Gump.
"What's wrong? Are you leaving? "
Just as we were about to leave, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Ding Ling appeared at the door with a plump, short, and honest-looking man.
I thought about the half car load of spicy chicken wings that Sandora had given me and felt that I wasn't in a rush. I stopped and asked, "Is he a client too?"
"He's an old senior, an idle member, but he's helped the Esper Team solve a lot of problems." Ding Ling pushed the seemingly simple and honest man to the front. "Tell him yourself."
The chubby uncle that Ding Ling called "senior" gave us a friendly smile. "Call me Old Wu. We're all in this circle, so I'll be frank with you. I'm a turtle that has turned into a spirit …"
I was stunned when I heard that, but Shallow Shallow reacted faster than me. She immediately called out, "You have a teacher named Sprint, right?"
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I are not in the same system," Old Wu said calmly. "Logically speaking, I don't want to trouble you because my situation is different from those juniors who can't control themselves. I don't go crazy when I look at the moon … Turtles have a temper like that, so it's fine even if they lose control of their demonic powers …"
I asked curiously, "Then, can't you wait?"
For the past two days, I had been in contact with all sorts of strange things that were native to Earth. I was already immune to a situation where an Earthling suddenly popped out and announced that he was some kind of spirit. Old Wu's situation was actually one of the rarer cases among the 'mutants' that we had come into contact with who had Atlantean genes. They had inherited ancient powers, but they did not have their ancient memories. After being struck by the moon, they would only experience a surge in strength, but they would not have the desire to fight, much less think of attacking the moon. This kind of situation was extremely rare, and it was classified as a non-dangerous awakening. Old Wu was such a case, so normally, such mutants would just be comforted by the Esper Team. There was no need for them to receive treatment from Boundless Love.
"I really can't wait," Old Wu explained slowly. "Although I don't want to fight, I think I might have fallen in love with my Blackie."
Ding Ling covered her head and said, "It's a cooking pot, round …"
"First floor, second passage, first door, look for Dr. Liu to inject the fourth compression agent. Otherwise, I can only wish you and your cooking pot a happy wedding."
"Oh …"
Old Wu, the turtle, slowly disappeared from the staircase. I broke into a cold sweat and sighed. There were many strange things in the world. God knew how many similar ethical tragedies had happened in the dark world after the impact of the moon. The power of Veska was too great …
"Oh yeah, there's something else!"
Just as I was about to leave, Ding Ling stopped us again. "My X.O doesn't seem to be normal either!"
In my mind, I suddenly thought of the magical Chinese rural dog that kissed everyone it saw. It was commonly known as the Mongrel. I didn't expect that Miss Ding hadn't sold it to a dog meat restaurant yet.
"For the past two days, X.O has been barking at the moon at night. He didn't even return last night," Ding Ling said with a worried but hopeful expression. "Do you think he had an ancestor called Cerberus seven hundred thousand years ago?"
I thought for a while and suddenly jumped and shouted, "You can just find a male dog for him!"
Ding Ling instantly became listless. Her dream of a Chinese rural dog turning into a three-headed hellhound wolf was shattered. Shallow Shallow comforted her, "Don't be disheartened. If you really want to raise one, they sell Cerberus in the underground city of Atlantis."
Ding Ling thought about it and felt that if she really used Cerberus to guard the door, she would probably have to spend the rest of her life with a dog in a biochemical research facility. Thus, she gave up.
At this moment, Shadora's mental connection came again. This time, she sounded more anxious than before. It was obvious that the Mars impact was different from what she had expected. The number of collisions that had occurred in the surveillance window had reached close to a hundred times, and a large amount of debris was appearing. I realized that this might not be the debris of a lunar impact, but a large-scale crash of a starship's wreckage.
However, when we ended the communication, Sandora still insisted on asking me for half a truck of spicy chicken wings...
"I'll leave this place to you. If there's anything you don't understand, ask the Empire soldiers. Medea is in the office next door." I picked up Frando, who was biting the door, and said to Ding Ling in a hurry, "The three in the basement should be awake by now. We have to hurry back. Another starship wreckage has appeared! "
"It's not serious, right?" Ding Ling immediately became nervous.
"Fortunately, it only hit Mars this time, so it won't affect Earth."
I forced a smile and led Shallow Shallow out of the factory.
The two of us first bought half a ton of spicy chicken wings under the immense pressure of the masses. The four or five KFC stores that were swept away even thought that we were sent by McDonald's to cause trouble. Then, we rushed back to Shadow City with the smell of chicken wings on our bodies.
I first handed Frando over to Sixteen Night, who had already received the news, to take care of her. Then, the two of us went straight to the base. Sandora was already waiting for us at the headquarters. The moment we met, she immediately gestured for me to look at the big screen.
In the middle of the command center of the headquarters, there was a holographic projection that was about three meters tall. On the projection was the real-time image of Mars sent by the reconnaissance aircraft. On the red, highly oxidized land, a large group of bright spots were shining. From time to time, new bright spots would suddenly flash. Every time a new bright spot appeared, it meant a new collision. The small spots that were still burning proved that there was a high-intensity psionic burning near the collision point.
I noticed that before the bright spots appeared, there would always be some irregular water ripples around them, which proved that these things had entered this world through the hyperspace tunnel.
There was also my elder sister, Miss Lin, Pandora and her sister, Liliana, the five Protoss Bars, Little Bubble, Ji Shanshan, and a bunch of other people. Among them, Liliana and Mercury Lamp were standing on the crystal control panel in front of the projection device. They were gesticulating and guessing where the next collision point would be. Whoever guessed the wrong spot would have to stick a piece of paper on their face. Mercury Lamp was at a disadvantage. Her face was small, but the piece of paper was the same size. At this moment, the human puppet could no longer see her true face. On the other hand, Icetis and her four troublemakers were discussing whether the small spots looked like a lump of cow dung or several lumps of cow dung. Kenser chuckled. No matter what others said, he would only say, "Very good, very good." On the other hand, Ilson insisted that the collision points looked like the skin of a honeydew melon. His nerves were obviously indestructible under the training of Icetis and Monina. Lin shrank her neck in panic when she saw me. I noticed that there was a small metal lump on her hand that was beyond recognition. I wasn't sure if it was from the refrigerator or the microwave at home.
As for Little Bubble, I didn't know how she appeared here. Anyway, no one had the intention to understand her movements. She was sitting on the floor with Ji Shanshan, playing with a puzzle. The puzzle was an ancient scroll that they had found in Ji Shanshan's treasure trove. It had been torn into peanut-sized pieces. Ji Shanshan was crying as she played with it. I couldn't bear to look at her tear-stained face. So, I turned my head and continued to look at the screen.
I wasn't angry, nor did I complain. Really, if I couldn't get used to this bunch of people who would always cause trouble for me, I would have been rescued in the hospital more than two hundred times.
"The collision is still going on? Why isn't the reconnaissance plane going down? "
I knew that the only reliable people here were my elder sister and Sandora. So, I decisively abandoned the room of people who were playing with themselves and went forward to ask.
"There are already more than one hundred and twenty pieces, all of them are the wreckage of the starship." Sandora looked at the screen without turning her head. Her expression was serious but not serious. The current situation was a little confusing, but it wasn't a crisis yet. It was just a flying rock from outer space. It hadn't escalated to the level of an invasion yet. "The nearby space-time is very chaotic. It should be caused by the sudden collapse of the interdimensional passage that the disintegrated starship opened when it entered this world. The reconnaissance plane is afraid that it will affect its observation of the space-time trajectory, so it is watching."
"It's almost over." Lin Xue narrowed her eyes slightly. A faint white light leaked out from the gaps of her eyes, giving off a rather mysterious aura. "Five, four, three …"
As Lin Xue counted down, the increasing number of bright spots on the real-time screen slowed down visibly. It was as if a violent storm had reduced to a drizzle in an instant.
"Two, one …"
There was still a collision.
"Zero, negative one, negative two, negative three, negative four … Damn, it's not over yet! They're not giving me any face! "
The last collision finally ended.
Lin Xue didn't blush or pant under the profound gazes of the people around her. Her nerves were extremely tough. "What's there to look at? The error is only six seconds! I haven't rested well for the past two days. I'm not in good shape. "
"The space-time rift has begun to close. The reconnaissance plane has gone down."
Sandora glanced at the holographic projection and lowered her eyes slightly. "The largest wreckage found is nearly ten kilometers long … Preliminary piecing together, these wreckages came from a disintegrated Eternal-class starship. The largest piece of wreckage has the Visca logo."
This was a piece of shocking news, but the entire development was within reason. I rubbed the cat-eyed loli's head. She pursed her lips and didn't say a word. She simply leaned over and pressed her small and thin body tightly against my thigh.
"Is it the spaceship that was preparing to crash land on the moon a few days ago, but only three parts landed?"
I asked as I rubbed my chin.
"We'll have to wait for the people at the scene to report back. But in this case, it doesn't matter if these wreckages came from one or two spaceships. Visca's Destruction Army might be coming back. That's the core of the problem."
Just then, a crisp but firm voice interrupted Sandora's judgment.
"They won't be coming back."
I looked down in surprise and happened to meet Visca's blood-red cat eyes.
The little girl's crimson eyes had shrunk into a narrow black slit. This was a change that would only happen when she was agitated or when she was about to attack. It was obvious that the situation now was the former.
"They're all dead." Visca grabbed my arm but turned his face away. "After I joined 'those guys', the fleets that didn't want to join were all executed. I just remembered it. "
My lips moved. I wanted to say something, but I felt that I really couldn't organize the words. In the end, I could only rub the little girl's hair, messing up the long hair that I had personally combed in the morning. Visca's emotions calmed down and he shook his head nonchalantly. "It's okay. They are all defective products anyway. I can't build a standard mothership and production line. Otherwise, Atlantis wouldn't have relied on a group of scientific research teams to survive for so long … Yeah, they are just high-level puppets. So what if they're dead. Brother, this spaceship is very strange. I don't know where it came from, but it definitely wasn't piloted by my former soldiers. "
"Let's go to Mars."
Sandora suddenly let out a long breath and said resolutely, "Let's see what's going on inside with my own eyes. I'm really curious."
Sandora was a decisive person. When she said that she wanted to go to Mars to take a look, she had already informed the reconnaissance team in Mars orbit to get ready. Then, she glanced at me. "Ah Jun, do you want to go?"
"We have nothing to do anyway." I hugged Visca and rubbed the little girl's face against my face twice. This made Pandora's stomach rumble in protest. "Should Visca go too?"
The answer was, of course, yes. Visca and her sister were the most clingy little bums in history. The two little girls definitely wanted to tag along. Shallow Shallow also wanted to tag along. She was a person who would go wherever there was excitement. If no one pulled her along, she would sit on the windowsill and watch people beat up their children for twenty minutes. Now that she heard that they were going to Mars, she was so happy that her snot bubbles almost came out. She skipped to prepare a picnic, fishing, skiing equipment, and a swimsuit. I didn't even dare to imagine what she was going to do with these things. Did she want to change the crust of Mars while she was there? When the time comes, humans would finally succeed in colonizing Mars after much effort. When the spaceship landed, a theme park that covered tens of thousands of square kilometers would appear in front of us. There would even be a sign at the entrance that said, "Xu Shallow Shallow Was Here."
…
Then, Hollywood would use this incident to film an epic sci-fi blockbuster that included conspiracy theories, aliens, American soldiers, nuclear crisis, and a pair of lovers. In the end, the Americans would still have to save the world.
With Shallow Shallow's logic as an accomplice, it wasn't impossible for her to escape.
"Come back before dinner."
The older sister said with a gentle smile. It was as if we were going to a train station instead of Mars. Even Mercury Lamp waved her hand generously. "Go, go. When you come back, bring something for me to play with. Zhen Hong brought a music box two days ago. I want a bigger one!"
I was shocked. "Madam, we are going to Mars! Where are we going to get a music box for you? "
"I don't care. I want a gift," Mercury Lamp said coquettishly. "Every time Zhen Hong comes, she brings strange things. I want something better than her!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I never thought that I would spoil President Shui into such a little girl. She and Zhen Hong didn't fight anymore. Instead, they started to compete with each other to see who had more toys. Moreover, every time they competed with toys, the two of them had to act like mature and noble adults. (In my eyes, they looked like adults. No matter how mature they were, the two dolls couldn't even reach their chests. They would always look like adults.) I had seen that scene before. The two dolls drank black tea and listened to classical music while showing off to each other. You told me that this music box was used by Louis XIII. I told you that this cannon was taken from an aircraft carrier that participated in the Great Nebula War …
It seemed that we really needed to prepare some normal toys for Little Lamp.
It was easy to get to Mars. We didn't even need a shuttle. The scouting team had already landed on the surface of Mars. We used their temporary outpost as coordinates and teleported there directly.
One second, I was chatting with my family in the living room. The next second, I saw a desolate red land and a murky, thin sky.
This wasn't the first time I had stepped onto the land of a foreign planet. The bizarre scenery before me didn't surprise me much. Only Qian Qian, who was carrying a huge laser cannon and saying that she wanted to write the words' I was here 'on Ox Crater, was stopped by me.
"This is the empty space between the largest debris." Sandora glanced at the floating image in front of her. "Let's go. The storm will come in an hour."
