Samuel took off his space suit and rushed into a bathroom, rubbing himself all over. Although I know rationally that it is impossible for those dicks to stick to my body through the thick spacesuit, I still can't stop imagining what will happen if my skin is stained with those things.

Ethan poured himself a full glass of red wine with trembling hands, gulped it down, filled another glass, and drank it again. The wine slowly disperses and burns in the stomach, and a warm feeling finally dispels the cold terror in my heart. His hands were still shaking uncontrollably, and his teeth were clenched as if there was no way to keep them apart. He heard footsteps and saw Tanisel swept across the corridor and stepped straight into a biological sample analysis room. Ethan gritted his teeth, stood up and chased after him.

He slammed open the door of the analysis room, and as expected, he saw that Tanisel was holding the test tube with the monster in his hand, as if he was planning to make a slice and put it into the smart microscope for analysis. He exclaimed, "We have to contact the mother ship, it's too dangerous here!"

Tanisel didn't even lift it, put on gloves, and concentratedly dropped the dangerous liquid sample on the glass slide, "Do you think the mother ship would care? Of course they know there is something weird here, otherwise they wouldn't have brought you here. ."

Ethan took a step forward, fists clenched so tightly that nails hurt his palms, "They don't care about us, but they always care about your safety. If people see Jeff like this, you think they Will he still be as polite to you as he is now?!"

Tanisel's movements paused for a while, his eyes turned slightly, and his eyebrows were raised slightly, "Are you threatening me?"

Listening to the dangerous tone of the priest with a little surprise, Ethan insisted and did not flinch, "This is not a threat, this is a fact. Everyone will be afraid in the face of death, especially such a death. Even if I know the risk of using you to threaten the mother ship It's very big, but compared to death, it's a way of life." Seeing the priest's silence, he took a few steps forward, and his firm gaze met those silver-gray eyes through the lens, "Don't forget. Now, we are all a group of desperadoes, we can do anything when we are pressed."

Tanissell suddenly laughed, as if he saw something very cute, "I didn't expect you to look so weak, but it's not that you have no courage at all. Don't worry, I have contacted the mother ship just now. Now, they will send the soldiers of Eves down."

"Really? How many people?"

"The Eve side and the Earth side will each send a few people down, and your chief of the guard will also come."

Ethan finally stopped after listening to his heart. He leaned on the table behind him as if he was exhausted, took off his glasses and rubbed his aching eyebrows from worry, "That's good... that's good..." However, just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "What are they doing here? Shouldn't they just take you back?!"

Tanithel shrugged. "Then I don't know. They just said 'support'."

Ethan's steady breathing was quickened again. His face was pale, and he felt that his heart was sinking into the bottomless abyss. Immersed in his thoughts, he didn't feel that Tanisel had walked in front of him, tilting his head slightly, as if to appreciate his panicked expression. He suddenly leaned forward and sniffed around Ethan's neck.

Ethan was startled, his whole body stiffened instantly, "What are you doing!"

Tanisel didn't move. His height is tall even among the Eves, whose average height is about five centimeters taller than humans. At this moment, he is looking at Beta slightly with his absolute height advantage, with a charming smile on his lips, "You humans may I don't know, Beta smells too. And I find it smells really good when you're scared."

Ethan was stunned for a moment by the smile, and then frowned again. He thought that the priest was changing the subject, so he turned to leave with a bit of anger. But Tanissell grabbed his wrist suddenly.

The priest's slender and beautiful hand was unexpectedly strong, like an iron ring that could not be freed. Ethan was puzzled and didn't understand what the priest was going to do, so he turned his head and stared back, "Let go!"

"I want you to order Gina to completely seal the medical warehouse, and no one is allowed to enter for any reason, except me." Tanisel still had that perfect smile, and his tone was gentle, but Ethan sounded like an order. . He then said with a bit of provocation, "Do you want to seal the medical warehouse so that others will not see it and then rebel?!"

"Yes." Tanisel replied without hesitation and full of sincerity.

Ethan was speechless, speechless. He gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with anger, "But not only do I not plan to block, I plan to warn everyone!"

Tanissell leaned slightly, and the distance between the two had already shrunk beyond personal comfort. The priest suddenly pushed Ethan against the wall and imprisoned him with his arms, his silver-gray eyes stared deeply into Ethan's pupils, as if looking directly into the depths of his soul, "Have you forgotten about yourself? Identity? Or... do you like me to force you to do it?"

The other party's deliberately elongated tone touched some secrets hidden in Ethan's heart. With sweat on his forehead, he wanted to flee, "Samuel would have said it even if I didn't."

"I didn't tell you not to talk, I just asked you to use your highest authority to block the medical warehouse. As long as they don't see it with their own eyes, they won't be blinded by fear, and it can also prevent those mindless people from touching Jeff's body. The things that came out of it." Tanissell's other hand grabbed Ethan's chin lightly, and he couldn't refuse to lift his face, forcing the other party to meet his own line of sight, and his voice became more and more low. "You know I'm right. I'm the only one in the mother ship who is willing to help you. You'd better be obedient."

At this moment, the positions of the two people are already very ambiguous, but Ethan, who is deeply shackled, has no self-knowledge, nor does he notice that the door is pushed open. Although Tanisel had long noticed that someone was approaching, he didn't care.

Otto just got up and planned to go to the toilet. Hearing the sound of the wall hitting the wall, he pushed the door open and looked at it. He was dumbfounded.

Yaoshou, that priest is robbing Samuel's toy? !

"Hey! Little White Face! What the hell are you doing!" Otto has always been the most loyal, and he kicked the door wide open. Such a big movement made Ethan shake and hurriedly began to struggle. Tanissell calmly let go of Ethan, adjusted his clothes, and said lightly in Ethan's ear, "Someone has already started, you'd better as soon as possible." After saying this, he turned and left.

Otto wanted to fight Tanisel, but the other party glanced at him lightly, and the eyes on his forehead also opened a thin line. In that glance, he suddenly felt a strong deterrent force, which made his whole body seem to be disobedient, staying in an inexplicable obedience. It wasn't until the other person's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor that the strange feeling was lifted.

Otto scolded a series of swear words in anger, then looked at Ethan hesitantly, "Are you all right?"

Ethan's tone was obviously caring for Omega, which made Ethan feel uncomfortable. He tried to control his expression to look calm, "It's okay, thank you."

"What does he want?"

"It's nothing, we just disagree a little bit." He unknowingly brought out the same set of rhetoric he used to be an official at the Energy Bureau. Otto glanced at him suspiciously, then left.

Ethan slid down the corner and sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands, only to feel exhausted. After a while of silence, he still said to the void, "Gina, I want to execute first-level authority, seal the medical warehouse, and no one is allowed to enter except me."

Gina's gentle and submissive voice came from her ear, "Okay."

Ethan seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to ask, "Has there been any results from the analysis of the slices that were put into the smart microscope just now?"

Gina replied, "There are already results. Would you like to see the report now?"

"it is good."

A clear image was projected in front of him, and there were dense words of the earth next to it, which were full of technical terms that Ethan couldn't understand, but Ethan was still dumbfounded.

The liquid slices were densely filled with what should have been cells or bacteria, but what Ethan saw were all small, slender, monsters with human faces, twisted and twisted together...

Monsters as small as cells... The folds of their heads, stacked with human-like faces.

Could it be... that's why they can burrow into the body through the sweat pores of the skin? They multiply rapidly in the human body, and then break out

So... that monster's body is also full of little monsters, so what about the bodies of these little monsters? Is it a smaller bug

An endless cycle, is this the eternity that Tanissell speaks of

Trapped in some nightmarish imagination, he quickly turned his eyes away. This is definitely not a normal creature, it is simply impossible to exist. Yet it does exist.

And... Judging from Jeff's appearance, are all those monsters born from the bodies of other humans? Is this the truth behind the disappearance of the pioneers? But why do they have no time to leave a word? What do these monsters have to do with the black things in the sky in the video

The most important thing is, are there other similar bugs in this base 18

—————

When Samuel came out of the shower, he immediately woke up a few of his younger brothers, and then asked them to wake up the rest. There are thirty-three hours in a day on the red earth, and at this time it was about six in the morning. The huge red sun had just exposed an edge from the horizon, and the dark purple sky gradually changed to orange-red. The No. 18 base where they were located was located in a relatively dry inland grassland area. There was little rainfall, and the weather was very clear most of the time. Even in the daytime, the afterimage of one or two crescent moons hanging in the west could be faintly seen.

All the non-humans went to grab the toilet one after another, and some of the people who got up earlier were already eating compressed food in the hall to replenish their energy. Samuel looked impatiently at the subordinates who were still scolding each other for who would use the bathroom first. The self-soothing movement of the constantly rubbing fingers betrayed his inner anxiety.

"Everyone, listen to me. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the base without my consent. If you see any creature on this earth, whether it is a plant, an animal or a bug, you must not touch it privately, come directly. Tell me, do you understand?!"

His voice was as loud as a bell, piercing the ground. Many of the fifty non-human beings who were not him at all seemed remarkably submissive at the moment, probably because Samuel always seemed aggressive and confident.

It's just that not everyone obeyed his leadership. Another Alpha Jarvan who had a similar relationship with Samuel suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Jeff is gone."

Samuel pursed his lips, uncertain for a moment. Just as he was considering whether to tell Jeff's situation, Sidane Derek said nonchalantly while drinking a carton of milk, "He's probably almost dead, you don't want to see it. of."

As soon as these words came out, Ethan and Samuel were both stunned. Ethan couldn't help standing up, "You... have you ever entered the command room?!"

Doesn't the command room require certain permissions to enter? At present, only Ethan should have this authority, right

Derek shrugged and wiped a circle of milk stains on his lips, "Didn't you guys want me to fix Gina's communication function? As long as you can access Gina's central program, and the camera is not too complicated Encrypted, it's not that hard to see what you did two hours ago."

Derek's words caused a commotion, and that Gavin raised his brows with anger, "What did you do to Jeff?!"

"He was infected by local organisms. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, we quarantined him. You probably won't see him for a while." Before Samuel and Ethan could speak, Tanisel walked out calmly. With the usual gentle smile on his face, the Ball of Breath flies up and down around him, "But you don't have to worry, because support will come soon."
