At this moment, the sound of the engine came from behind.
A field researcher in thick protective suit jumped from behind the infantry chariot with a toolbox.
Look, our Santa is here.Looking at the researcher shaking towards here, the Marines holding their rifle in front of their chests whistled, and joked jokingly in the communication screen.
Santa Claus.
This is what Marines call field researchers.
The reason they were given this nickname was because they were indeed like a big belly Santa Claus after wearing red heavy protective suits.
Of course, although this title has a bit of joke, it has no derogatory meaning.
Walking in front of Zhang Hai, the researcher asked calmly.
Where is the sample?
Right in front.Zhang Hai pointed to Koenig's direction, be careful, we are not sure if it is dangerous.
We know better than you how to identify the dangers of organisms.
Leaving this sentence, the researcher walked towards the root of the drill bit with heavy steps.
Zhang Hai curled his lips, held the rifle and watched him walking towards the carriage, and gestured a middle finger in his heart.
Captain, I feel that its pulsation seems to be getting faster.
Hearing Koenig's voice, Zhang Hai frowned slightly.
Are you sure?
Uh, maybe?
You will know when our ‘experts’ go and take a look.Another Marine soldier joked, but the rifle that Ping held in his hand had no intention of relaxing.
From the Mindanao War to the present, the soldiers standing here can be said to be the elite in the Star Ring Trade.
Whether the opponent is a human or a Martian species, they can be proud of themselves as having experienced many battles.
However, it is precisely because of this conceit that they will be extra careful in every task, be careful not to make this task the last task...
Walking next to the insect egg, the researcher threw the toolbox in his hand to the ground and picked up layers of dust.
Hey, be gentle.Standing behind him a few steps, Koenig whispered, but after the researcher looked back, he shrugged and stopped the conversation.
He skillfully removed various instruments from the toolbox. The researcher first connected the two threads to the insect egg, and then typed several buttons on the touch screen keyboard of his arm.
The life signal is stable...the biological current is weak.
After saying this to himself, he took out a nanosyringe from the toolbox and stabbed it on the pulsating insect egg.
For some reason, when the needle tube was pierced at the insect egg, Zhang Hai's brow jumped a few times.
However, he finally resisted the urge to speak out and stop him, forcibly convinced himself to believe the expert's choice.
Fortunately, or the researcher did have a few tricks, and he successfully pulled out a tube of green liquid from the insect egg.
A strongly acidic liquid, which may contain some kind of corrosive bacteria?
Looking at the liquid in the test tube, the researcher said to himself.
Shaking his head, he stuffed the test tube back into the toolbox, and then took out another shaver-shaped scanner.
This scanning gun can emit two strong and weak penetrating rays at the same time, scan the external and internal structures of the object and easily compose it. It is regarded as a powerful enhanced version of the portable B-ultrasound tool.
However, because of the strong radioactivity and possible trace radiation residue, this kind of thing is only suitable for things other than humans.
Pointing the scanner in his hand at the insect egg, the researcher turned on the holographic screen inside his helmet.
Then... let me see what you are.
While saying this to himself, he pressed the switch of the scanner.
The three-dimensional composition is presented on the holographic screen, and these images are simultaneously transmitted back in real time to the Expedition floating in the synchronous track.
Looking at the pulsating insect egg, the transparent carcass that was abnormally large, the researcher's brows frowned tightly.
What is this...
I always have a bad feeling when we can leave here, and it is not very safe.Looking at the researcher who was half-squatting next to the insect eggs, Zhang Hai couldn't help but remind him, if you have anything you haven't confirmed, I suggest you spray it with refrigerant first, then put it in the specimen box and take it back to the isolation room of the colony...
You don't need to teach me how to sample.The researcher said coldly, standing up, rashly using refrigerant may also completely stop its life function before being sure of its vital signs.
So can we start sampling now?Koenig continued, I feel the same as the captain, and this thing always gives me a sense of ominous premonition.
It's OK.The researcher threw down this sentence coldly, took out a fire extinguisher-like thing from the toolbox, and pointed the spout at the insect egg.
This is the refrigerant used for sampling.Different from the injection type refrigerant required for the dormant chamber, this refrigerant is externally used.
Press the switch and a white spray sprayed out, wrapping it on the surface of the insect egg.
However, at this moment, the researcher frowned slightly.
I don't know if it's his illusion.
The worm eggs seemed to be pulsing faster.
Will low temperatures accelerate their life activities in a short period of time to generate more heat to maintain normal life activities?
I silently wrote down this discovery in my heart, just as he was about to increase the output power of the refrigerant.
In an instant, the insect egg suddenly contracted to its limit.
Zhang Hai's brows jumped wildly without warning, almost conditioned reflex. He rushed to the side and shouted in the communication channel.
Late!
boom!
The insect egg exploded suddenly.
The green droplets were like flying arrows, sweeping towards the drilling cart and the Marines next to them like a storm.
The researcher standing nearby was hit by the explosion's shock wave in his chest, flew backwards and hit the drilling car.
Koenig, not far behind him, was also hit by the green droplets.
The deafening sound echoed in the tunnel and penetrated everyone's eardrums.Such a terrifying explosion sound is so clear and audible even on Mars, where the gas density is extremely low.
However, something even more terrifying is still to come.
Ah！
The researcher struggled to get up from the ground, and the place where the green liquid was poured into it seemed like a fire, and strong white smoke rose.
He tried desperately to wipe off the liquid on his body, but soon his eyes began to widen, gradually covered with blood...
His space suit is damaged. Please help him and stuff him into the infantry chariot!Koenig!Damn it!
After cursing fiercely, Zhang Hai suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed the researcher's collar, pulled him to his side, and then took out the gel spray and sprayed it hard at the damaged area of his space suit.
The jelly-like gel was pasted on the spacesuit, blocking the damaged position.
Gradually the bloodshots faded from the researcher's eyes, but what faded was also the spirit in the pupils.
If it weren't for the life signal detector that could still detect his life activities, Zhang Hai would almost treat him as a dead person.
On the other hand, the seriously injured Koenig was also rescued by his comrades and dragged back from the brink of death.
Send them back to the car…Call the command!We have two injured here, a researcher and a Marine!Repeat, we have two people injured...
However, at this moment, a shrill howl came from a distance.
Cold sweat suddenly emerged from Zhang Hai's forehead.
He held the unconscious researcher with one hand and used the freed hand to raise the rifle at his waist.
Almost at the same time, a monster that had never been seen before drilled into the tunnel from the front of the drilling car...
