the only savior

Chapter 579 Space Program (Two in One)

As Hu Peng told the legend, everyone in the courtyard fell into deep thought.

"Makula, plague, demons, mutant beasts... What kind of connection is behind all of this..."

Xiao Shun muttered to himself.

He is very passionate about solving puzzles.

"Do you think that guy is really a demon? Just like the fallen angel last time."

Everyone heard the words and all looked at him.

Regarding things like demons, they would definitely not believe it in the past.

But now, after coming into contact with the extraordinary world, after seeing so many things that were only legends before, things like demons don't seem so outrageous.

What's more, didn't a fallen angel appear in Sheep Village before?
In a sense, isn't the fallen angel the legendary demon?

Several people hesitated for a while.

Maybe, the so-called Makula is really the legendary plague demon.

While they were still thinking, one person spoke.

It's Wes.

He said hesitantly, "Hu, I seem to have heard you talking about the plague just now..."

Everyone looked at him again.

They all know that this guy is not very good at Chinese.

When Hu Peng spoke before, he spoke too fast. He might have only heard the general idea, but he didn't understand the specific content at all.

"Yes, the plague. According to legend, Makula created the virus that swept across Europe. What's the matter? Did you find anything?"

He deliberately slowed down his speech this time, because he was afraid that the other party would not understand.

"Well, I seem to have heard you say a word just now, European black rat...?"

"Yes, according to historical records, black rats were one of the most important routes of transmission of the plague virus at that time."

Weiss' expression couldn't help becoming a little weird.

"Well, I don't know if it's a coincidence. In the long-term reward mission released in the tavern recently, there are more and more mutated black mice..."

Hu Peng was taken aback, and suddenly remembered the mutated black rat brought by the Gaul named Maurice.

"Go! Go to the basement!"

He said right away.

2 minute later.

In the basement of the tavern.

"Bangdang~"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the door of a freezer was pulled open, revealing the dead rats stored inside.

"That's it."

Wes said, and opened a few more cabinets,
These cabinets contained the corpses of black mice. At first glance, there were more than a dozen of them.

"All the black rats are here. These are going to be shipped to the headquarters tomorrow. They have been received in the past few days. The taverns in other places have also received some, but the most are in Bali."

When the rest of the people saw the dead bodies of more than a dozen mice, they all had ugly faces.

Needless to say now, everyone obviously thinks of some bad aspects.

"Brother Xiao, I heard that you have also participated in the research in the laboratory. How about it? Did you find anything about these guys? Do they carry a lot of viruses?"

Xun You suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Shun who was at the side.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shun said:
"Actually, we don't know much about these mice. They are mainly researched by Tina, but I have also read some research reports on them."

"According to the results of the report, these mice do not carry any special viruses, but they all have traces of a very clever genetic modification, including the genes of rattlesnakes, twisted cats, North American possums, huskies and other animals."

"Hmm? Husky?"

Hu Peng suddenly spoke with some doubts.

Xun You on the side explained:

"Don't underestimate huskies. This kind of dog has nearly three times the oxygen carrying capacity of humans, and the number of mitochondria in muscle cells is more than 3% more than ours. These genes should be to enhance their endurance."

"Yes, it can be seen from the genetics that those mice have integrated the specialties of various creatures, such as heat sensitivity, speed, strength, endurance... They want to create a perfect creature!
There was a worried look on Xiao Shun's face.

"However, fortunately, the secrets of genes are not so easy to break, and these guys are not without flaws."

"I remember Tina said that among all the mutant beasts discovered so far, none of them have the function of reproduction. The reproductive barrier brought about by gene fusion is still difficult to break."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard his last words.

It's fine if they can't reproduce. If such monsters can reproduce unscrupulously, it will definitely be a disaster for mankind.

Seeing their appearance, Xiao Shun couldn't help pouring cold water on them again, saying:

"Don't be too happy too early. According to recent research reports, we have reason to believe that the reformer should be studying the way of self-reproduction, that is, hermaphroditism. If he succeeds, the consequences... "

The room fell silent again for a while.

After a long time, Hu Peng said:
"In other words, there is a demon named Makula who is doing some kind of genetic modification research and wants to create an army of mutant beasts to achieve his ulterior motives?"

Xun You spread his hands: "I think so."

"Okay, then we don't have much time left now, we have to catch him before he completes the next transformation."

Hu Peng said: "It's not too late, Weiss, take us to see the snake's body immediately. Also, contact the bounty hunter named Sizar as soon as possible, he may have some clues... "

After speaking, he turned his eyes to Xiao Shun again.

"By the way, brother Xiao, please go back and report this matter to the star master, especially the fragment, which must be handed over to him as soon as possible."

Xiao Shun shook his head.

"This, I'm afraid I can't return it for the time being..."

"what happened?"

"Star Lord is not on Water Blue Planet right now."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and then they reacted again. Hu Peng said excitedly:

"Xiao, brother Xiao, do you mean that our plan has already started?"

Xiao Shun nodded, and Xun You beside him couldn't help but shine his eyes.

"The plan? What plan?"

Only Weiss was the only one who didn't know why.

He has been busy building the Wildfire Tavern with his teammates outside recently, and he is not very clear about some dynamics within the organization.

Although he knew that the Star Lord was indeed very powerful and had heard many legends about him, he was a little surprised to hear that the other party said that he was not on the Water Blue Planet.

"Could it be that the strength of our organization has surpassed the planet?"

He had some unbelievable thoughts in his heart.

On the side, Xiao Shun showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, then pointed to the sky with his right hand, and said:

"That program, of course, is our program to make a lot of money and the first step into the universe, we call it the 'space program.'"

……

At this moment, it is 38 kilometers away from Aquamarine.

Moon.

At this time, beside a small forest on the back of the moon, a huge space battleship nearly 200 meters long was hovering on the ground.

"OMG! I've been looking forward to this day for an unknown amount of time! I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to set foot on this land!"

Inside the cabin door of the Dawn, an old man in his 60s was looking excitedly at the holographic projection outside.

This person is the scientific research talent Zhang Xiaoman recruited into the organization, Richard from England.

Since Richard left last time, he has been busy with resignation.

It is obviously not that easy for a boss like him to leave his original company.

Fortunately, through the operation of his mother Pei Lingsu, he was successfully pried out from the original scientific research enterprise.

Of course, there are some costs to this.

But compared to such a talent, everything is worth it.

Now, this boss finally got his wish and came to the space he dreamed of, and he landed on the surface of the moon directly in one step.

Richard now feels like he is in a dream, extraordinary people, mysterious organizations, spaceships, space, the moon, and even life on the back of the moon.

If it hadn't been for his other party's preparations in advance to let him understand all this step by step, he might have really passed out due to over-excitement.

At this time, after a seven-day crash training, Richard was able to put on a space suit under the leadership of professional astronauts, and actually set foot on the land of the moon.

In addition to him, there are other researchers in the Star Alliance including Sun Mingsheng and Tina, as well as a professional astronaut coach.

The astronaut coach is named Zhao Liang, who has also been in space himself, and is responsible for daily maintenance in a space station.

But later, due to an accident, he was permanently blind in one eye, so he had to retire.

After retiring, he has been working as a technical director in a certain domestic space agency, and was successfully hired by his mother to Danlan Starry Sky Company.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Liang didn't believe in any space development plan at all, so he decisively rejected Ms. Pei Lingsu's invitation.

Until later, when he was returning home from get off work one time, in the yard of his villa, an invisible anti-gravity vehicle fell from the sky...

Now, Zhao Liang is really glad that the lady chose him.

No one knows what kind of situation he was in when he was forced to retire.

In front of others, he always pretended to be indifferent, and he was afraid of seeing the sympathetic eyes of others.

Even if he can continue to work in the aerospace department, he knows that in his life, he may never hope to board that vast and beautiful starry sky again.

At this moment, looking at the surface of the moon so close at hand, Zhao Liang only felt that he had a thousand words to say, but because of the occasion, he had to silently bury that emotion for the time being.

"If Lao Ding and Lao Wang knew where I am now, they don't know what kind of expression they would have."

Zhao Liang only felt that his eyes were almost unable to hold back the tears. They were tears of fulfillment, tears of happiness that carried a lifetime of dreams and pursuits.

In fact, apart from Zhang Xiaoman, there was one other person in the field, almost all of them were too excited to extricate themselves.

How many people want to go to space like this, or even step on the land of an extraterrestrial planet, is the pursuit of many people.

Now that they can achieve it so easily, who can remain indifferent?

Now, considering safety issues, as the first person to land on the moon, there are only five researchers including Richard, Zhao Liang, and Tina.

They have also recently received the emergency training carried out by Zhao Liang.

As for Zhang Xiaoman, he doesn't have much interest in going to the moon or anything.

What's more, wearing that cumbersome space suit is really a bit of a star master's price.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make it, and since he can attach his consciousness to the star guard's body for close observation, there is no need for him to play in person.

After helping Richard and the others change into the space suits, Zhao Liang changed into the clothes himself.

After a while, five people wearing heavy clothing stood in the isolation compartment of the spacecraft.

"Okay, everyone, check your electric umbilical cords. After the air chamber is depressurized, I will go out first. You follow me, follow the method I taught you earlier, lower your center of gravity, keep your pace, and don't mess up!"

Zhao Liang checked everyone's equipment for the last time, and then he gave a thumbs up to the back, indicating that everything was ready.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, and then ordered Xing Xu to open the door of the isolation chamber.

At the same time, the idea was conveyed, and the two star guards beside them also walked into the isolation warehouse with a few people.

Seeing this, the five people turned around in surprise, their eyes full of doubts.

These two warriors in blue-purple armor had been secretly paying attention to them before.

It's just that the other party has been standing there quietly, never speaking, and making no unnecessary movements.

If they hadn't seen them walking around, a few people might have thought that they were two statues.

However, looking at the meaning of the star master now, it turns out that he intends to let them follow him into space?
Several people were in doubt.

Those who were able to participate in the first batch of moon landings were all masters who had done research in related fields.

Even a layman like Tina who specializes in biological genes has undergone a lot of related training before.

They definitely know more about the dangers of the space environment than ordinary people.

It can be said that it is a restricted area of ​​life.

But now, in such a restricted area, someone could actually enter with a physical body, which made them unbelievable.

Zhang Xiaoman naturally knew what these people meant, he shook his head slightly immediately, and said:

"It's okay, they can move freely on the moon, you don't need to worry about them."

Hearing what he said, several people also remembered that, according to intelligence, a kind of alien species called Desolate Worm had been found on the back of the moon.

Because I was too excited before, I ignored this point for a while.

These armored warriors must have been sent by the Star Lord to protect him and the others.

PS: Thanks to "Lou Ray" for the reward of 500 coins, thank you!
