How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 508 The Hibernating Person

what are these?

Some collectors curiously approached the nearest vegetation and carefully observed it.

It should... be some kind of crop, and this is the food supply area.

Let's go, this is not the place we want to find.

The collectors chose to leave, which was the same as the choice in the previous room. Their first task now is to find the intelligent creature of that unknown civilization.

There are two left, which one to choose?

Choose this one.

As soon as the door was opened, there was no such thing as the two lights in front of it, it was just darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

With the help of infrared perspective, the collectors saw that in the darkness, there were three corridors leading to unknown places.

These are three tunnels, where do they connect?

Everyone pay attention to concealment! Something is approaching!

The skeptical collectors suddenly caught a high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal in a tunnel. They didn't have time to think about it, and jumped to the top like fleas, and adsorbed themselves, changed their skin color, and blended with the environment on the top. as one.

Will it be the target we are looking for?

have no idea.

Concentrate on it. This task is related to whether the ethnic group can discover a brand new civilization.

Here it comes.

A voice gradually sounded in the corridor, a six-legged, movable object was slowly walking towards the collector, and the high-frequency electromagnetic wave signal came from it.

A mechanical body?

This is a mechanical body, and the collectors can recognize it. After the mechanical body dumped something towards a certain place, it turned around and returned to the depths of the corridor.

It's gone.

Let's go down and see what it unloaded.

be careful.

When they came close to the pile of unloaded things, which looked like a pile of scattered rubble, the collectors noticed that the ground they were on was just a collection of small rubble dumped by mechanical bodies. Platform, it seems that these mechanical bodies have been working for a while.

Putting a few small gravels into the mouth, the collector quickly analyzed the composition of these things.

These are metal mines. It seems that the mechanical body just now is the mining tool of the intelligent creature living in this underground facility.

Those tunnels should be excavated mines. Let's go to the last one. If no intelligent species is found there, we will go deep into the mines to search.

Um.

Open the last door. The space behind this door is not that big. Compared with the space behind the previous three doors, it is completely insignificant, about 100 square meters in size.

The first thing to enter is something that looks like a coffin.

It's a hibernation cabin! I've seen something similar in the materials of the Selin people's seed project!

There's a living organism hibernating inside.

A part of the hibernation cabin is transparent. Through this transparent part, the collectors saw a creature sleeping in the cabin, with a face similar to that of a bird, especially a creature whose mouth was very similar to that of a Daigo.

The gatherers watched their surroundings.

There's still a lot of electronic equipment here, but it's all dormant.

The intelligent creature has been found, but what should I do next? Awaken it?

What should I do? Take all of them away directly, the dormant cabin, electronic equipment, the robot in the mine, etc., take everything that can be taken away, and don't let go of any of them.

Collectors naturally answer the questions of their kin.

This...overcoming the planet's gravity requires a lot of energy and resources, isn't it too wasteful?

In the face of the future of the ethnic group, what is a little resource consumption?

Being asked such a rhetorical question by the same race, the collectors who originally pity the resources suddenly figured it out.

Understood.

...

A biological body with almost no signs of life lying flat on a soft bed, but this one is still alive, the cells are still active, just surviving in a minimum state of dormancy, this state of biological dormancy is recognized in the field of human medicine. Called 'fake death'.

Suddenly, a certain opportunity was fulfilled, the heart that had stopped beating started to beat, and the 'dead corpse' suddenly opened its eyes.

drink--

He opened his mouth slightly, sucked in the air with a big mouth, and expelled the exhaust gas in his body. This is breathing, and the life cycle of the organism was activated again. He was reborn from 'death', just like a newborn baby, greedily absorbing It is the instinctive reaction of life to follow all the needs of one's own life cycle.

A violent cough followed.

Cough cough cough...

Huh, ha, huh...

The cough used to be a steady breathing, and the consciousness of the organism itself was slowly recovered during this process. He looked around extremely weakly.

At this moment, this slowly recovering organism didn't have the strength to get up, not even the strength to speak, and turned its eyeballs with great effort to observe the environment it was in.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, which was very white and bright. I didn’t see any lighting equipment. It was the ceiling that was emitting light, and the same was true for the upper edge of the wall connected to the ceiling.

What is this place? ——The living body first thought of such a question, and then the second question came to mind——Why am I here?

Just like that, the living body just stared at the ceiling motionlessly for an unknown amount of time. What surprised the living body was that it didn't feel hungry at all while waiting for the body.

As time goes by, although the body has not fully recovered from the state of suspended animation and is still unable to move, simple small movements can be realized, and complex mental thinking can also be carried out.

At this time, the question in the mind of the organism changed again—I should have hibernated in the hibernation cabin, and the sequelae of hibernation awakening are still there, which shows that this is reality. Since this is reality, what kind of situation am I in now? place?

Has the government finally sent someone to fetch me?

But why am I lying here all alone now?

Where is the doctor? Where is the nurse? Where are the reporters?

Thousands of questions plagued the living body, and he hoped to know the answer. This thirst for knowledge gave him motivation. The living body turned his neck with great difficulty and rigidity, and turned his head to one side, so that his sight could see to the lower edge of the wall and the ground.

Also like the upper part of the room, immaculate and glowing.

On the left hand side is a small one-legged table, which is placed near the edge of the bed like a bedside table, within reach of a living body as long as it stretches out its hand.

A transparent glass was quietly placed on the table, and the quilt was filled with liquid.

The body has not yet fully recovered, and it is very laborious to lift a finger. The information that the biological body can collect is only this for the time being, and he still needs to continue to wait.
