Interplanetary Planting Master

Chapter 34: Speculate

The girl's murder did not make much ripples on the Iris. Both the first team and the residents of Broken Star are used to seeing life and death. The only thing that makes everyone feel troubled is that this kind of life body that does not know whether it is an animal or a plant can avoid the sentinel's perception. They are buried in the sand like dead objects, without any vital signs.

Su He thought that the people in the bottom deck would be afraid to go out after this incident, but to his surprise, the crowd on the beach did not decrease. He wanted to land Li's farming plan, and a person was thinking about how to arrange the formation near the Iris. A dark shadow sneaked up behind him. Su He drew his dagger and turned around. An old man who described it as wretched immediately raised his hands, "I'm not a bad person."

Su He: "..."

The old man had a trace of graciousness on his face, looked at Su He flatly, and whispered: "I am a businessman, selling all kinds of biological medicines." Su He did not speak, the old man tried to sell: "All kinds of biological medicines, including interfering agents. ."

"How do you know that I need an interfering agent?" Su He asked.

The old man smiled and said nothing. He saw Lu Li alone with Su He several times, and immediately guessed Su He's identity. He still remembered how Lu Li bought five interfering agents from him at a low price.

Su He changed the question, "How do you sell the interfering agent?"

The old man smiled and looked behind Su He. Su He turned around, Lu Li didn't know when he came over. Looking at Shang Luli's insight into everything, the old man said brazenly: "I don't want credit, I just want a guarantee from Iris."

"What guarantee?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows.

The old man whispered: "Guarantee Iris will not leave me under any circumstances." This is the worry of everyone in the bottom deck of Iris. They are not federal citizens, and the military has no obligation to them. The previous incident made them realize that it is not safe here. In case of sacrifice, the old man worried that they would be the first batch of cannon fodder.

"Deal." Lu Li said simply. The old man took out two interfering agents from his arms with satisfaction, and handed them to Su He to explain: "It was too hasty to escape, so I took two."

Lu Li glanced across his hand and asked abruptly, "Where is the source of your interfering agent?"

The old man smiled slyly, "I will continue to do this after I leave here. Major Lu can't cut my livelihood. However, there is an old saying that is called the dark under the light. Major Lu is so smart, I can definitely think of it."

He finished speaking and disappeared in front of Su He and Lu Li. Su He collected the interfering agent, hesitated for a few seconds and looked at Lu Li seriously, "Thank you."

Lu Li smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much."

Su He nodded lightly, Lu Li continued to do something. Su He looked at Lu Li's back from afar, thinking that Lu Li had always promised not to force himself, he felt a little unspeakable. He didn't know Lu Li's true thoughts, but how did he hold it back? It is not easy for the sentinel to fight the guide's attraction. He remembered the last time Lu Li said that he hoped he could consider the 7th Army resident to settle down. Will he stay with Lu Li in the future? In fact, think about Lu Li's good people, if it's Lu Li...

Su He paused, and the tips of his ears were a little red. He simply and roughly cut off the thoughts in his mind, his eyes flickered and he took his gaze back, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After the morning accident, the rest of the time was calm. The members of the first team rechecked the vicinity of the Iris to make sure that no life forms were lurking in the sandy bottom. It wasn't until the evening that Wei Na, who was responsible for collecting life body samples, returned with the third team. Their condition was not good, and two mechas were seriously damaged.

Su He happened to be outside at the time and clearly saw the situation of the mecha. Both of the damaged mechas were missing their lower body, as if they were bitten off by something. Fortunately, the flight system of the mecha is designed on the back, enough to allow them to fly back from the air.

Wei Na didn't care to rest, and hurried to the command room. She brought back some news that she didn't know if it was good or bad. Su He was curious and followed him secretly. When everyone saw that he didn't speak, Lu Li's gaze swept over, acquiescing that Su He stayed in the command room.

Wei Na stood right in front and dropped a depth bomb first. "We found a huge energy mountain 15 degrees northwest." She clicked on the virtual light screen, and a huge projection appeared. On the endless yellow sand, countless milky white energy stones are piled together to form a hill over a hundred meters high. This picture was too shocking, and the eyes of several people in the command room immediately became eager. Although Lu Li's expression was still calm, his eyes were brighter than usual.

"But..." Wei Na changed her tone, and another picture appeared on the projection. Dense green tentacles squirmed around Energy Mountain. Wei Na pulled close, everyone could see clearly. These life forms, which do not know whether they are animals or plants, seem to move forward in regular waves, and the energy stones that have been discharged from the body quickly leave, and then another batch comes over. Wei Na paused, and said to Lu Li: "There is no uniform and regular collective excretion of any kind of life. So I suspect that they are not pure excretion as we think, but consciously producing energy stones. "

A crowd: "..."

Wei Na continued: “Considering that this kind of life form has no demand for energy stones, of course, it may be that we have not discovered it. But it is more likely that there is another life form behind them that needs energy stones. We The plant life found is just a tool used by the other party to produce energy stones."

Lu Li thoughtfully, the life forms in the picture are not scattered and disorderly, but are approaching the Energy Mountain in an organized manner, as if someone is commanding it. He asked: "Do you suspect that this kind of life form was not formed by natural evolution?"

Wei Na nodded and opened another picture, which was the battle scene between the third team and the plants. Wei Na seemed to be a little puzzled: "We met with them last night, and they didn't show much combat effectiveness. But today is completely different." The life forms that appear in the picture are hideous and powerful, and they move in waves like tides. Several black mechas. The red laser beam swept across, and the dead life body would be quickly eaten by the life body behind. During the battle, a black mecha was surrounded, and a scene that surprised everyone appeared. At the root of the plant, the sharp teeth of the gray rock bit off the soles of the mecha's feet and swallowed them with a few chews. After a brief digestion, grit-like objects are discharged from its tail.

Wei Na's expression was very serious, and the screen paused again. She said: "As the picture shows, the eating and digestive organs of this life form are very powerful. According to the data we currently have on this planet, it is difficult to explain this through normal evolution."

Lu Li lowered his head in thought, and suddenly said, "Let me take a look at the map of the planet you surveyed."

Because of the harvest last night, Iris temporarily eased the energy crisis. The third team went out today to look for more samples of life forms on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also needs to map the entire picture of the planet as much as possible. The map showed that the third team was traveling in the desert, without any oases, plains, or other life forms. Several people looked at each other, faintly aware of something.

Shen Shen guessed: "This map occupies about one-tenth of the area of ​​the planet. It will not always be the desert except for the sea behind us?"

"...It's impossible." Jiang Bo retorted without confidence.

Lu Li frowned slightly, "Natural evolution is indeed impossible, but what if it is controlled by man?"

If it was like Wei Na imagined, the life they discovered did not emerge from normal evolution at all, but was a product of some kind of gene synthesis. The purpose of this product is to produce energy stones. They can swallow all objects, usefully decompose, reorganize, refine, and condense into energy stones. Uselessly excreted quickly. In order to improve efficiency, the designer designed a green tentacles similar to photosynthesis on the back of this living body. The presence of tentacles also ensures that this kind of life forms can survive only by absorbing light energy or other free energy in the universe, after they have almost eaten up most of the planet.

A crowd: "..."

This kind of speculation is too unimaginable, but it makes sense to think carefully. The key now is who is the designer behind this life form? Do they also live on this planet? Several people looked at each other, and Lu Li finally said: "The above is just a guess, whether the truth is not important. Our goal is to collect energy stones to leave this planet. Whether there is a'master' behind this kind of life form has nothing to do with us. ."

Everyone responded, Jiang Bo suddenly said: "Then what should I do with the energy mountain that I discovered today? Just leave it there?"

"Of course not." Lu Li got up, "After being poor for so long, I finally saw the possibility of getting rich. The front is Wang Beast's lair. I have to fight to bring back these energy stones." He ordered: "Wei Na The sentry led the way, the third team stationed the Iris, and the first, second, and fourth teams went to Energy Mountain with me. The old rule is that 70% of the harvest is turned over to the Iris, and 30% of the monarchs are divided equally."

"Roger that."

The crowd shouted in unison. Regardless of how dangerous Wei Na had rendered, everyone was enthusiastic under the temptation of huge profits. Wang Beast was in front of him, and dared to rush up and scratch its claws.

"..." Su He. Several people left the command room in turn, Su He stayed at the end. He pretended not to see Shen Shen and the others winking at each other, and whispered to Lu Li, "You pay attention to safety."

Lu Li's eyebrows were gentle, and he looked at Su He and said. Su He blushed a little, and felt that he needed an explanation. He only cared about Lu Li...not Lu Li, he cared about Iris, and had no other meaning. He raised up his hand to rub Su He's hair and said, "This time I will share your share of the harvest." Lu Li laughed, raising his hand and rubbing Su He's hair.

Su He's face flushed red, and he immediately said: "I am not..."

"I know." Lu Li interrupted Su He's explanation, and said gently: "Iris's rules, every time a star thief is robbed or any windfall, 70% is turned in, and 30% is divided equally. You are now A member of the Iris, there should be a copy of you in it." He didn't wait for Su He to say anything, and continued: "rest early, I will stay with you."

Su He faintly sent Lu Li away, only to realize that Lu Li said that he was a member of the Iris. When did he become a part of Iris? But this is actually not bad. Su He thought awkwardly, and squeezed on the windowsill with the Saker after taking a bath.

The sea under the night is amazingly beautiful. Su He leaned on the saker falcon and muttered to himself: "I don't know what Han Rui is doing now? His situation shouldn't be too bad, right? I kept the interfering agent sent by Lu Li back then. Give him three of them, and probably no one will discover his identity as a guide in the short term. But what should I do if the interfering agent runs out?" Su He touched the feathers under the Falcon’s neck, and continued: "Lu Li said he would ask a friend to take care of Han. Rui, is his friend also a sentinel? Is his character good?"

Saker Falcon looked at Su He quietly, and Su He thought for a while and replied by himself: "Lu Li is a very good person. The friends he knows should not be worse, right?"

The Falcon lowered his head and pecked Su He's finger lightly. Su He laughed, and for a while, he stretched out his hand to wrap the Saker Falcon's neck. The saker falcon is huge, and the feathers on the neck are fluffy and soft. Su He boldly grabbed it and said, "You are Lu Li's mental body, but you don't feel like him at all. He has a good temper, and he feels gentle and reliable. But I don't know it is because of the guide's instinct. I think he is good, or I really think he is good." Su He's thoughts jumped in confusion, "Do you understand if I say this? I like an apple, but I don't know if I really like eating apples or my genes. The nature inside tells me that I like to eat apples... I don’t mean that I like Lu Li, I just use apples as a metaphor, I..."

Su He walked around for a long time and walked in, facing the saker falcon's black eyes blankly, and suddenly realized a question, "I don't know what you said to Lu Li, right?"

The Falcon was silent. Su He relieved himself, "I definitely won't know. My little seedling will only express two emotions, happy and unhappy with me. The mental body should be the same."

His understanding of the spiritual body is limited to the scattered explanations on the Skynet. After reassuring his heart, he hugged the Saker Falcon and said, "I don’t know where Lu Li is now? How do you bring back so many energy stones? You said that those living bodies are really behind them. Is there a designer? What will it be like?"

He was bored, grabbed a handful of sand on the window sill and threw an apple seed in. The sand was piled up on the window sill in the morning, and there were several shell-like objects found in the sea, which he placed as decoration.

The apple seeds quickly took root and sprouted, the green plants grew up, and a small mini fruit tree appeared out of thin air on the windowsill.

Outside the window, the quicksand under the night trembled slightly, and everything was calm again.
