[drop-]
[The intelligent system of the escape cabin has been activated, and the surrounding environment is being detected. The oxygen content is 30% and the temperature is 30°C... suitable for human survival.]
[Begin to wake up...]
The neutral electronic sound entered his ears, and Pinellia felt that he had just taken a long nap on a sunny afternoon.
After sleeping too long, he realized that it was time for him to wake up, but his eyelids were too heavy to open.
The subtle sound of the electronic equipment running in his ears was particularly hypnotic. Banxia tried to open his eyes several times but couldn't open them, and almost fell asleep again.
"Ah-"
"Chirp—"
Sounds similar to birdsong came from outside, and it was noisy, as if a flock of birds had landed.
Where are the birds from? Pinellia's closed eyelids moved slightly.
"When-when-"
Something banging upstairs, no, not upstairs! The sound is too close!
Banxia suddenly opened his eyes, the surroundings were instantly bright, and his vision was blurred for a moment.
Banxia narrowed his eyes slightly, and when his eyes got used to the light, he saw a transparent hatch above his body. The sky outside the hatch was blue, as clean as if it had been washed with water.
This is... where
Banxia blinked blankly and heard a soft electronic female voice ringing in her ears.
[Wake up successfully.]
[Please note that this escape capsule is about to run out of nutrients, please leave as soon as possible.]
wake? Escape pod
Pinellia slowly turned her head to look at her side, the pure white metal wall with light blue numbers beating on it, her body temperature was 37.1°C, and her heart rate was 62 beats per minute.
This is... the spaceship's escape pod
Banxia's pupils suddenly dilated in shock, not only because he found himself lying in the escape hatch, but also because a big scarlet bird head suddenly appeared above the hatch.
The big bird's black eyes met Banxia's gaze. This large bird with only an extremely long neck lowered its head, and suddenly hit the hatch with its black beak.
"when-"
Banxia almost subconsciously wanted to step back, but the weakness of his body and the limited space in the escape pod made it impossible for him to complete this action.
He could only stare tensely at the long-necked bird that suddenly appeared, his solemn expression reflected on the transparent hatch.
Doubts arose in Banxia's heart.
Is the sound I just heard the bird pecking at the escape pod
A large bird with a strange appearance, not any kind I am familiar with, where have I been
Banxia still remembered that he was going to take office in Polaris, and the spaceship crashed on the way. He and the crew left in the escape pod, and encountered a wormhole again... After waking up again, he came here and saw this long-necked bird.
What is this place
Some animal lover's house? Ecological Park? Primitive planet
Banxia pursed her lips and looked at the long-necked bird pecking at the escape hatch outside, and it was difficult to judge for a while.
Although from his point of view, he could only see the other's head and a section of neck, but he could feel that the bird was much taller than the average adult.
Is there such a bird on the planets to which the alliance belongs
The long-necked bird shook its head, and seemed to be dizzy. Just when Pinellia thought it was going to give up and compete with the escape hatch, the big bird turned its head and made a few noises. Soon, Pinellia heard one after another. Birdsong's response.
Hiss, how many birds must be around here
One, two, three... Vermillion bird heads appeared in Pinellia's field of vision, filling the sky above the escape pod.
"Chuck?"
"Choo Choo Choo?"
The long-necked birds screeched wildly, pecking at the escape pod from time to time.
The escape capsule is a product that can be used in space anyway, and it will definitely not be damaged by a few birds, but Pinellia still caught his eye.
It is impossible for the Union to allow citizens to keep so many large birds, that is to say, he should not be found and brought home by some animal lovers.
It's not very likely that this is an ecological park. Such a large escape pod should be intercepted before it floats within a kilometer above the ecological park.
In the same way, in any place where the star network is completely covered, an escape pod bearing the mark of the Alliance military will not be allowed to flow out.
Then there is only one possibility left, which is a primitive planet that has not yet been fully developed.
The long-necked birds gradually lost patience with this escape hatch that could not be pecked open, and most of the bird heads on the hatch cover were missing.
Pinellia speculates on the situation of this planet.
There are already animals on the planet that were born from this planet or introduced from aliens, but the monitoring system has not been installed, and it is impossible to accurately capture foreign objects, which makes his escape pod wander outside.
Having generally understood his own situation, Banxia only hoped that this planet would not be too far behind, and that at least there was an airport so that he could rush to Polaris to take up his post.
The last few long-necked birds also left with the calls of their companions, but the chaotic birdsong always lingers.
Just listening to the call, Pinellia could imagine how huge a flock of birds was not far from the escape pod.
His escape pod appears to have fallen into the habitat of this long-necked colony.
This is not good news and it is not known if the birds are carnivorous or herbivorous.
The escape pod will isolate the star network, and Pinellia cannot communicate with the outside world. It is unrealistic to wait for the birds to leave in the escape pod.
Pinellia unplugged the nutrient solution delivery tube connected to her wrist and tried to move her limbs slightly in the escape capsule.
The limbs were unable to lift strength, sore and stiff, and it was extremely difficult to move.
Pinellia sees her current appearance through the reflection on the transparent hatch:
The short black hair was a little messy, and the black pupils reflected mottled and broken light. The same black military uniform was meticulously fitted to his body, making his complexion extremely pale.
The nutrient solution that was about to be depleted, the weak body, all reminded Banxia that he didn't just take a nap in the escape pod.
The military escape capsule will have enough nutrient solution for seven days. Before he was inhaled by the black hole, he had drifted in space for a day. Now the nutrient solution is almost exhausted, which means that he slept in the escape capsule for at least five days.
I don't know if the soldiers in the same spaceship have landed on this planet... If they don't contact the military as soon as possible, the officers at home are afraid that they will go crazy...
Pinellia thought about a lot of thoughts erratically.
After the movement was complete and the limbs gained some strength, Banxia took out an anesthesia gun from the space bracelet on the left wrist.
The cold touch of the gun made Banxia concentrate. He listened to the birdsong outside. He roughly judged that there were no birds within ten meters of him, so he raised his hand and clicked on the touch screen on the inner wall of the escape cabin.
[click—]
The sound of opening the escape hatch sounded, and Banxia pushed open the hatch cover without hesitation and sat up, looking at the surrounding environment for the first time.
His escape pod landed on the edge of a lake, and on the left was a jungle. The trees in the forest were extremely tall, as if they had grown naturally for thousands of years.
On the right is the blue lake, where flocks of scarlet long-necked birds gather, or comb their feathers with their beaks, or bury their heads underwater in search of food.
Before, I could only see part of the long-necked bird in the escape pod, and the feeling was not obvious. At this time, I was even more shocked when I saw their whole body. Hundreds of big vermilion birds more than three meters high stood in the lake, as if flames were burning on the lake.
Banxia didn't have time to take a closer look, because there were already quite a few long-necked birds looking at him, and the ones close to him were running towards him with a "cluck" cry.
Stepping out of the escape pod, stepping on the shallow grass submerged by the lake, Pinellia grabbed the gun and pulled out his legs, ready to run into the jungle.
He had never seen such large birds Pinellia, and he didn't know if they were some kind of alliance protected animals. He didn't dare to do anything to them easily.
bang-bang-
The heavy voice sounded like something heavy hitting the ground, and the calm lake water was shaken by waves. As soon as Pinellia took two steps, she was shaken to the point of being unsteady and almost fell.
The earth, lakes, jungles, everything around seemed to be shaking.
earthquake
Pinellia stabilized her still weak body. She didn't know if she should run into the jungle for a while. If there was an earthquake, neither the lake nor the jungle would be safe.
"Cuckoo-"
The long-necked birds screamed, with a vague fear in their voices, and Banxia turned to look, and the few long-necked birds that had just run towards him had already returned to the flock.
The long-necked birds screeched, flapped their wings vigorously, and took off together after a run.
Is this an escape
As a human with no wings and no aircraft, Banxia looked at the escape pod that had not closed the hatch, hesitating whether to lie down again.
The escape pod can save him for a while in the earthquake, but if there is no search and rescue personnel after the earthquake, and he is trapped in the escape pod again, it is really over.
and many more…
Does this shock feel a bit wrong
It's not like the vibration caused by the fracture or dislocation of the rock formation, but it looks like something big is coming this way.
"The big guy who can make the ground shake, is it a heavy mecha?"
Banxia listened intently for a while, "No, the sound is too messy, there is no sense of regularity of human machinery."
A group of extraordinarily large animals seemed to be approaching the lake.
The flock of long-necked birds flew away in a panic, and Pinellia didn't dare to pestle on the grass alone.
Looking around, Pinellia selected a giant tree outside the jungle and ran over quickly.
The sense of vibration became stronger and stronger, and Banxia could vaguely hear the sound of trees breaking. He looked at the tree that was surrounded by at least a dozen people, and chose to trust the other's "waist circumference".
Pinellia has performed tasks in various areas with harsh environments, let alone climbing trees, he even climbed the flower stems of Kao.
But his body is too weak now, and climbing a giant tree makes him exhausted.
Pinellia supported the trunk, crouched down on a branch about half a meter thick, and looked up into the jungle.
Trees swayed not far away, and some birds and winged insects rose and fell.
Banxia frowned slightly. These birds and insects were all kinds of insects he had never seen before. It was the first time that Banxia felt that her biological knowledge was so lacking.
The heavy sound was getting closer and closer, and Banxia saw a huge black shadow break through the trees and slowly emerge from the woods.
The first thing that appeared in Pinellia's sight was a pair of long and thick curved fangs, followed by a leg that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom and covered with long brown hair... No! That's not a leg, it's a proboscis!
Pinellia watched in astonishment as the long-nosed and tusked giant beast approached, and a word came to mind—mammoth.
"It's not like a mammoth..."
This long-nosed giant beast has a long mane on its head and back neck. The base of the mane is white, and the color becomes darker as it goes to the tip.
Some of the pointed manes were vermilion red, and some were blue and green, very gorgeous.
Pinellia had seen mammoths created by biologists in Guxing's ecological garden, but they were not so fancy.
Are these big guys a race unique to this planet
With doubts, Banxia took out a rimless monocle from his coat pocket and whispered, "J03."
[Optical Brain has been activated, J03 is at your service.]
The monocle floated up automatically, stopped steadily in front of Banxia's left eye, and levitated quietly.
Banxia turned his head to look into the jungle, the monocle moved with his movements, always hovering about a centimeter in front of Banxia's eyes.
Pinellia stared at the long-haired behemoth, and the data of the long-haired behemoth appeared on the lens.
[Unknown race male detected.]
[The body height is 5 meters, the body length is 8 meters, and the incisors are 3.5 meters long… ]
Unknown race
Is there no relevant information even in the Guangnao database
There was a little doubt in Banxia's heart, and then another long-haired beast came out of the jungle, followed by the third and fourth...
These giant beasts are so huge that a heavy sound can be heard every time they fall.
The giant beasts sometimes ripped off a handful of leaves from the tree with their proboscis, sometimes rolled up a handful of grass from the ground, and walked towards the lake while eating.
Fortunately, the giant tree where Pinellia was located was tall enough, and the leaves were concentrated on the top crown, which did not attract the attention of the long-haired beasts.
When the long-haired beasts all gathered by the lake, the earthquake-like tremor gradually stopped.
Nearly a hundred long-haired beasts occupied almost the entire lakeshore. The long-haired beasts hung their long noses into the lake water, sucking the lake water and sending it to their mouths.
Pinellia found that there were also a group of small birds of different colors around these long-haired behemoths. They were only small compared to the long-haired behemoths. Each of them was nearly 30 centimeters long.
Those brightly colored birds flew down from the giant beast, drank enough water by the lake, flew back to the giant beast, and pecking in the giant beast's hair, none of the giant beasts had any intention of driving them away.
Symbiotic relationship
With a thought, Pinellia turned on the camera mode of the light brain, and captured this scene of harmonious coexistence.
After taking the picture, Pinellia opened the search bar, entered the picture, and prepared to check the information on this long-haired behemoth on the star network.
On the Guangnao page, the little blue-green chrysanthemums turned and turned, but no search results came out.
[Xingwang is chasing stars, please try again later.]
"Why is the internet speed so poor?" Banxia looked at the star network signal icon in the upper left corner of the light brain.
The five bars of the signal bar are empty.
Banxia frowned slightly, is this planet so backward? There is no global star network coverage.
The information was impossible to check, so Pinellia tried to open the planet map and saw the swirling blue-green chrysanthemum again.
Sure enough... Without StarNet, it would be impossible to find nearby human settlements and airports on the map.
Can only be self-reliant.
Pinellia stroked the space bracelet on his left wrist, and an electronic eye for detection appeared in his hand.
Connect the electronic eye to the optical brain, and Pinellia controls it to fly.
Repeat the process just now, and release two more electronic eyes.
The electronic eyes spread out over the jungle, and the images they detect are displayed simultaneously on the optical brain.
Soon, a map centered on the giant tree where Pinellia was located was gradually drawn.
Pinellia sat down on the branch, rested to recover her strength, and distracted herself from the formation of the map.
Until it was getting late, flaming clouds burned half of the sky red.
Pinellia carefully looked twice at the map drawn by the images sent back by the electronic eyes. The map was full of pure primitive jungle features, without any human buildings.
Is this jungle too big
A trace of unease flashed in Pinellia's heart.
On the one hand, he didn't know how long it would take him to get out of the jungle. On the other hand, highly developed planets rarely had such large jungles. Even on tourist planets, there would be many human buildings in the jungle.
And Pinellia did not see any human buildings from the electronic map.
Probably... This is a maverick planet
The control range of the electronic eye is limited, so Pinellia can't stay with the electronic eye to continue exploring, so he has to go into the jungle.
"hold head high-"
A long howl came from the lake, and Banxia turned to look, and saw that the largest long-haired beast was still climbing up. As it walked towards the jungle, it raised its long nose and made a high-pitched cry.
Behind it, the long-haired beasts stood up one after another, followed behind the long-haired beast that seemed to be the leader, and walked slowly towards the forest.
Pinellia's gaze fell on the long-haired beast's broad back.
Maybe I can hitch a ride
Banxia is very clear that with his current physical condition, it is difficult to walk one kilometer, and he needs a means of transportation.
In his mind, he roughly simulated the path of the long-haired beast, and Pinellia got up and jumped to the branch beside him.
The height of this branch is just right from the ground, and if the hairy beast walks under it, he can easily land on their backs.
The long-haired beast leader walked in his direction.
When the giant beast leader passed under the tree, Pinellia leaned forward slightly.
Leap of Faith!
"Chirp—"
Successfully landed on the back of the giant beast, startling several birds of different colors, but the giant beast leader just shook his head and continued to walk into the jungle without any reaction.
Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a gaze from behind him.
Banxia turned her head to look, and met a long-haired beast following the leader.
The long-haired beast had a handful of fern-like plants rolled up on its long nose, and was about to stuff it into its mouth. Seeing Banxia looking over, the long-haired beast raised its long nose and stretched out to Banxia, and a handful of green ferns fell into Banxia's arms. .
Banxia glanced at the plants on her coat, hesitated for a second, but politely said: "…Thank you?"
Giant Beast: "Ang."
"Roar-"
A deafening sound wave suddenly exploded in the sky, rolling over the head like thunder, covering up the long-haired beast's cry.
The roar fell, and the surroundings were silent.
There were no bird calls, no insects, and even the long-haired beasts stopped.
What was the sound just now
There was a rustling sound in Banxia's ears, and now he still felt dizzy. He looked up at the sky, the flame-like clouds dyed the sky red, and there were no dark clouds.
what is this? Thunderbolt
Banxia tilted her head and rubbed her ears, and heard the voice of Guangnao Intelligence J03.
[Please note that a powerful alien is approaching, and the other party exudes a strong courtship pheromone toward you.]
"Oh?" Banxia raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Interracial? Is this planet still inhabited by aliens? !
Pinellia's eyes lit up, and he had no doubts about the authenticity of the reminder given by Guangnao J03. The three electronic eyes released had hormone collection devices, and J03 must have analyzed something before sounding the reminder.
In the human alliance, those who can be called aliens are all races whose intelligence is similar to or higher than that of humans.
The Human Alliance has now become friendly with nearly 100 alien races, and some alien races who like to travel will temporarily live on the human planet.
It's good to have aliens, and he doesn't have to go to great lengths to find human gathering places.
It's just that it's not clear which race of aliens this "alien" is, and whether it's friendly to humans.
As Banxia recalled the alien races known to possess pheromones in her mind, she glanced around, looking for the alien races that might appear.
A race with pheromones...
Is it the Zerg who like to greet each other with their tentacles? Or mermaids with long tails like jewels that turn into foam after half an hour out of the water? Or the fake rabbit family that looks like a rabbit, feels like a rabbit, and is said to eat like a rabbit...
Just thinking about it, Banxia listened to Guangnao and continued:
[This light brain automatically generates three plans for you: First, accept the courtship of the other party, and the aliens will excitedly bring you back to the nest. Second, reject the courtship of the other party, and the aliens will force you back to the nest. Three, run away immediately, the aliens will catch up to you, beat you up and take you back to the lair.]
Pinellia: "… "
Does this make any difference
Banxia suspects that the light brain has become a mentally retarded brain because it cannot connect to the star network.
Take me back to the lair forcibly
Oh, I haven't heard such a funny joke in a long time.
Now the human alliance is very strong. It is known that among the alien races, as long as the IQ is still online, they will not want to compete with the human alliance.
Pinellia called up the real-time shooting interface of the electronic eye, ready to find out if there was any alien existence.
Since the light brain can analyze the pheromone, it means that the other party is not far from where he is, unless the alien is a powerful race that can spread the pheromone to tens of thousands of meters away.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, as if something blocked the sun.
Is it dark clouds
Banxia raised her head and met a pair of huge golden vertical pupils.
"?!!"
Pinellia had a sudden respiratory arrest.
Where's the cloud? It was clearly a huge monster flying over the jungle, and the monster's wide wings spread out, obscuring the sky.
