Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

【Pumpkin Dads】

Even in the face of death, Chu Qingtian did not give up.

He mobilized all his mental threads, ready to receive the giant spider's malicious blow.

At this moment, a powerful and familiar wave broke through the ground, brushed over Chu Qingtian's tired body like a breeze, and then turned into a strong wall of air, throwing the giant spider upside down.

His autumn!

Chu Qingtian suppressed the surprise and ecstasy in his heart, and decided to seize the opportunity created by the guide for him, and beat the giant spider to death.

Unexpectedly, the giant spider's attack came faster—maybe it wasn't intentional, it just kicked its feet indiscriminately under the tossing of pain, but it just happened to pierce Chu Qingtian's mental barrier.

The gray light of the mental body could no longer support the barrier, and was forced to condense into the figure of a gray wolf, and collapsed on the ground dying.

Chu Qingtian caressed his partner's body distressedly, and took it back to the spiritual realm.

At this moment, a fierce wind blew away, and the huge sharp claws unceremoniously pierced into Chu Qingtian's waist—at the critical moment, if he hadn't tried his best to dodge to the side, the one who was stabbed would be Chu Qingtian. heart.

-

Major General Wolf was not concealed in the end.

Just as Mr. Major expected, Ferdinand went berserk instantly, almost destroying the military secretariat.The guards and guides couldn't get close. In the end, it was Major who forced him to inject a whole tube of wizard to calm him down a bit.

"I'm going to Doradus." These were the first words Ferdinand said after waking up.

Major was not surprised, and said calmly and gently: "Okay."

Ferdinand stared at him fiercely with red eyes, "I'll go by myself."

Major was not surprised by his attitude, "Fair, you know this is impossible."

With red eyes, Ferdinand said coldly, "Nicholas Major Dill, you are not worthy to be a father!" After speaking, he jumped into the mech and flew towards the private port without hesitation.

Mai Zhe froze on the spot, muttering to himself in despair, "He knows? He already knew?"

Behind him, the captain of the guards put aside the respect in front of outsiders, and comforted him with the appearance of a good friend: "Although Fei Er usually doesn't like to talk, he actually knows it in his heart."

Major smiled, but the curvature of the corners of his lips was very complicated, "People around me think that I am gentle and tolerant to him. You understand, he has always been giving way to me."

The captain of the guards did not answer, he knew that Major did not need his answer.

-

Ferdinand was the first to jump off the spaceship, followed by Major and the guards who did not take the fusion agent, and a dozen experts in space and wormholes.

Mai Zheruya's youthful face was very unfamiliar to the public, not even as famous as the captain of the guard behind him, which saved a lot of trouble.

He already knew the general situation when he was on the spaceship, and the two parties agreed to meet on Swordfish 7—after analyzing various situations, Major decided to start from the place where the guides disappeared.

The experts worked very efficiently, and it took less than half an hour from the landing of the spacecraft to the discovery of the jump point on the asteroid.

The academician who led the team was named Wu Lun. He pointed to the tree in the front and said with certainty, "It's here."

"Excuse me," Major said in a mild and polite manner despite his anxiety, "I don't feel any signs of wormhole activity here."

"It's not a wormhole. It's a man-made transition point. It's like a mechanism, or a door. It's not something that anyone can pass through. You must have the corresponding key." Although Academician Wu Lun was serious, he explained it patiently.

"key?"

"For example, irises, fingerprints, specific gene fragments, and even mental fluctuations may all be the keys to open the door."

Except for those who knew a little bit about the inside story, the rest of the people were surprised when they heard it, especially the Andromeda officials. Some people couldn't help asking: "Is there really such a technology? Isn't it... teleportation?"

Academician Wu Lun looked at Mai Zhe, saw the tacit consent in the other party's eyes, and then replied: "The Academy of Sciences started research in this area as early as 30 years ago, but the technology is still immature - the current transition point , it is obviously done very well, and we are ashamed of ourselves."

"Eh? The Academy of Sciences is already very powerful. Didn't they invent things like mermaid cars before? I heard that there is a medicine that can temporarily transform into mermaids if you take it—it's just a jumping point. I believe you smart people will be very happy." It will be done soon!" The chief of Andromeda said happily, but the words were very sincere, and people couldn't feel the elements of flattery.

Hearing this, a group of young researchers were extremely proud, and even Academician Wulun, who was always serious, had a little smile in his eyes.

In a few words, Major and Ferdinand made a decision.

"We want to pass this transition point, Mr. Academician, can you think of a way?"

Uren was taken aback, and shook his head disapprovingly, "Spatial leaps are inherently dangerous, not to mention cracking other people's channels. There are unimaginable unstable factors in it. Once you... will be a great loss to the Federation, No one can take that responsibility."

"Academician Wulun, as you know, first of all I am—a father." Mai Zhe said the last two words firmly and proudly.

Ferdinand's body froze, and a complicated look flashed across his azure blue pupils.

"Have you decided?" Uren asked with some difficulty.

Major nodded, his face was as gentle and refined as ever.

Uren's expression was complicated. Perhaps no one knew better than him how the person in front of him broke into politics when his parents died, and how he stood out from a group of competitors with huge backgrounds, including Lei Ting, who has been in power for many years. Means——His gentleness and elegance are just an illusion to confuse opponents.

Uren finally nodded, "I can only say... try your best."

With a smile on his face, Mai Zhe said, "Then there is trouble."

Ulun looked at him, sighed softly, and led his assistants to work.

-

Major stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Ferdinand on the shoulder, but he avoided him.

He smiled kindly, and turned to Homan and said, "Don't worry, Simon is safe, I can feel it."

Homan moved his lips, but finally said nothing.He knew that Mr. President's words were not meant for him at all.

Ferdinand also knew it. He stood beside him and said coldly: "Your guarantee should be effective, otherwise..." The mental black panther bared its teeth fiercely at Major, fully expressing that the master didn't finish speaking. if.

Two hours passed.

Academician Wu Lun finished the final adjustment and nodded to Mai Zhe.

There was obvious joy on Major's face, and he seemed to have accidentally grabbed Ferdinand's hand.

Ferdinand shook it angrily, but as expected, he didn't shake it off, and simply gave up—everything this man wanted to do since he was a child, he couldn't stop him from doing anything, including all kinds of hands and feet on him. .

When everyone was about to enter the leap point, Lu Xun struggled and took a step back—it is chic to be reckless, but someone must stay to take care of outside affairs, pave the way for the triumphant heroes, sweep the dust, and prepare wine to celebrate.

Ferdinand noticed his movements, and a gleam of appreciation flashed in his blue eyes.

Mai Zhe followed his partner's line of sight and found the quiet and handsome Lu Xun.With his usual smile, he said, "If it's convenient, Mr. Lu is always welcome to drink tea at his house."

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and an unspeakable joy rose in his heart. However, he still showed complete composure on his face, and he bowed reservedly, "This junior must tell my father."

Mai Zhe smiled, turned around and pulled Ferdinand into the range of the big tree, followed by Academician Wulun and several elderly researchers.

Ulun cautiously flicked the unknown instrument in his hand. He didn't know what triggered it. A burst of dazzling brilliance made him close his eyes reflexively. When he opened them again, everyone at the transition point had disappeared.

"Is this... a success?" Someone asked with a gaping mouth.

A certain researcher couldn't hide his excitement, "Successful, very successful!"

Both Lu Xun and Homan breathed a sigh of relief.

-

Deep in the nest.

Chu Qingtian was shattered by the giant spider's horizontal kick, and the mental barrier that was already crumbling was shattered, followed by the opponent's mental attack.

An unbearable stabbing pain flashed through Chu Qingtian's mental realm, and his head became dizzy for a while.

He pressed his hand hard on the wound, and the blood seeped out again—only pain could keep him awake and continue to fight.

There was a cruel smile on Chu Qingtian's lips, his guide was still waiting for him, even if there was only a ray of soul left, he would not give up.

The giant spider struggled hard, and finally turned over by relying on a section of the wall.His cold eyes immediately aimed at Chu Qingtian, furiously wanting to deal with this grasshopper that he didn't pay attention to at first.

At the same time, Chu Qingtian also raised the laser gun in his hand and pointed it at the protrusion on the giant spider's forehead.

At this moment, a fiery red body suddenly landed on the insect nest, and with a wave of elytra that looked like a steel shell, a side leg of the giant spider was cut off instantly.

The sharp hissing sounded again, Chu Qingtian lost his mind and almost passed out.

He struggled to stay awake, observing the situation before him.

I saw a fiery red Zerg that was about the same size as a giant spider flapping its hard elytra, leaving wounds on the giant spider's body again and again. The smelly yellow mucus splashed all over the nest, and even Chu Qingtian was not spared. .

The giant spider didn't show any weakness either. Waves of snow-white spider silk spit out like it doesn't want money, and in the end it even took on a hint of yellow—as if mixed with blood.

These spider silks did cause a lot of trouble to the red worm, and the direct effect was that it did not get close to the giant spider's body for a long time.

However, perhaps because the opponent's shell is hard and has no mental attack, the giant spider can't do any substantial damage to it—the two sides have entered a stalemate.

Chu Qingtian didn't intend to sit back and enjoy the success or sit and wait for death. He took out the portable healing device in the space button, treated the wound on the side of the waist, and left the rest of the place as it was, then picked up the laser knife, and took advantage of the giant spider's time to pay attention. Flip up its back shell.

This time, his target was the strange protrusion above the giant spider's eye.

After several confrontations, Chu Qingtian faintly discovered that the giant spider was very concerned about that place, and perhaps that was its fate.

The red worm discovered Chu Qingtian's movements, and cooperated very cleverly - the specific method was to work harder to attract the giant spider's attention.

Chu Qingtian withdrew his exhaled breath, poured all his strength into his right hand, and focused his attention.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Qingtian's body was wet and dry, dry and wet again, and the two giant worms were faintly tired.

--It's now!

Chu Qingtian leaped vigorously and rose into the air. The laser knife in his hand emitted a dazzling light. The giant spider subconsciously looked up, and the weakness between the foreheads was completely exposed in front of Chu Qingtian.

Hand up, knife down.

Using a knife as a sword, Chu Qingtian inserted straight into that fragile part.

The heart-piercing screams, the splashing yellow pulp, the giant falling down——Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction——no matter how powerful things are, they have insurmountable weaknesses. This is the law of nature .

-

After Mu Qiu released the protective barrier, his whole body seemed to collapse, his body went limp, and he passed out.

Simon knelt beside him and pulled him into his arms suddenly, his face full of panic.

"Qiuqiu! Qiuqiu!" He anxiously patted Mu Qiu's cheek.

Mu Qiu's whole body was limp and weak, like a limp rubber figure—fortunately, his breathing was still normal.

Simon held his unconscious friend tightly in his arms, adjusted his expression, and stretched out his spiritual tentacles——

"Listen, my companion is injured. He is a precious guide, a rare talent in the Federation, and his partner is the most powerful special operations captain in the Federation——I don't care who you are, now, he must be Send your spiritual body over here, and then find a doctor—if you don’t want to start a war between the stars, you’d better do what I tell you!” He used mental fluctuations to clearly convey this meaning.

The two little guys started crying in fright at the moment Mu Qiu fell into a coma, tightly holding on to Mu Qiu's hand; the little mermaid also woke up suddenly, infected by the surrounding emotions, and cried.

Simon didn't have the heart to comfort them, he could only feel distressed in his heart. At this time, he had to try his best to show a confident look—Qiuqiu was in a coma, and it might be very dangerous, and now he could only rely on him.

Simon was sure that the other party must have "heard" his words. His tentacles were attached to the roof, and he vaguely heard the rustling communication sound outside the wall—it was still the mechanical electronic sound.

Simon waited patiently, and at the same time helped Mu Qiu strengthen his spiritual barriers unskillfully - this trick he learned from Mu Qiu.

The other party didn't make him wait too long.

In the empty room, there was a sudden "click click" sound.Simon looked around vigilantly, and the three little guys also forgot to cry nervously.

They found that the wall on the left was slowly rising, gradually revealing the scene on the opposite side.

The two sentries were trapped on a large chair, and only their heads could move.

Simon was stunned, his voice trembling, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi?"

The sentries turned their heads and found Mu Qiu with his eyes closed tightly in his arms, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, sister-in-law?"

"I fainted, I'm fine for the time being, don't worry." Simon said as calmly as possible, not wanting them to worry.

Xiao Liu frowned, felt the faint smell coming from the opposite room, and said uncertainly: "Mu Qiu guided him..."

Simon pursed his lips, and said, "Qiuqiu and the captain's spiritual bond is loose." He discovered it just after checking.

Xiao Liu took a deep breath, widened his eyes and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that the captain..."

Xiao Qi snorted and stared at him fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Seeing an acquaintance, Simon finally calmed down. He went through the cause and effect, and his heart became a little more stable, "I think maybe the captain is near and is in danger. Qiuqiu used the captain to bind the spirit to protect him." Put it outside."

Xiao Qi was overjoyed, "If this is the case, wouldn't it appear that the combination has become loose!"

Simon nodded, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

When the crisis was over, the two sentries turned their faces in unison, trying their best to divert their eyes from the pile of food on the ground.

"Haven't you guys been eating?" Simon asked bluntly.

Xiao Liu nodded with a bitter face.

Simon smiled subconsciously, and patted the little leaf beside him.

The little guy cleverly wove himself into a basket, and Simon filled it with food and water in the same way.

The small green basket was sent to the mouths of the sentries carelessly, and on the other end, Mu Qiu's hand was still persistently held.

Smelling the aroma of the food, the sentries gulped down with hunger, but their bodies remained motionless.

Only then did Simon realize that they were still locked—for some unknown reason.

He knocked on the roof with the tentacles and said politely, "Please let them go."

The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally released the shackles of the two sentinels.

The two guys moved their hands and feet, and looked at Simon differently—I didn't expect that the second sister-in-law was also very good!

Simon smiled, "Hurry up and eat!"

The sentries began to gobble it up.

"What should we do next?" Xiao Liu said vaguely while eating.

"We have to find radishes and pumpkins." Simon said worriedly. On the one hand, Mu Qiu was in a coma and needed the help of little radish. On the other hand, the little guys had to be found together so that they could discuss the next step.

But why were pumpkins and radishes taken away alone?What purpose does the other party have?

Simon was puzzled.

-

All the pumpkins and radishes that happen above and below ground are unknown.

They were taken away after they came here, and they have never been sober.

At the moment when Mu Qiu was in a coma, Xiao Luobo felt his mental fluctuations, and suddenly woke up, and there was a sticky feeling around him.

He opened his mouth, just about to call Mu Qiu, but accidentally took a big gulp of something with a strange taste—Little Carrot moved his arms and found himself soaking in an oily liquid.

There were small exclamations and chattering voices around, which sounded far away.

The little guy turned his head and looked, and was shocked - he seemed to be put in a fish tank and raised like a fish!

The little guy was terrified, he slapped the transparent thing in front of him hard, and kept shouting: "Qiuqiu, come and save me! I was captured by the bad guys!"

He would accidentally drink a big mouthful of oil when he yelled, but the little guy was very persistent, and he didn't give up even after being choked up.

People outside saw it and acted quickly.

Someone pressed the button of the maintenance cabin, and the oil slowly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye; someone took a strip of shiny leather and prepared to wipe the little guy's body.

The moment the glass cover was opened, the little guy jumped out and hit the face of the person directly opposite with a "bang", throwing him on all fours.

The rest of the people were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Bad guy! Don't come here, or I'll hit you!" The little guy jumped onto a metal cabinet and threatened with the laser gun on his arm.

People laughed even more, saying things like "so cute" and "so smart".

A smiling voice reached Little Carrot's ears, "We are not bad people, we are your people——whose family are you a child from, and how did you end up in the human world?"

Little Luobo looked at him with round eyes, and didn't feel any malice from him, so she lowered her arms and said seriously, "I'm a child of Qiuqiu's family. Who are you?"

"Qiuqiu? Which Qiuqiu? I haven't heard that there is such a race in Mechanical Planet!" The man muttered to himself in doubt, "Let me see...the eyes are big, and the body is less than one meter, oh, it's still worthy Armed—seems to be Pocket Twolegs!"

The little guy was a little angry, "I'm not a two-legged family, I'm a little mech from the Qiuqiu family, and my name is Luobo!" He cleverly concealed the fact that he was a spirit body.

"Oh, it's called 'Carrot', what a cute name." The tall Tiki man said with a smile—although he doesn't know why there is such a strange pronunciation combination, but children need to be praised, don't they?

"Where is Qiuqiu? I want to see Qiuqiu?!" Little Luobo suddenly realized that he couldn't find Mu Qiu's location, and panicked.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" The man quickly comforted, "After the boy from the leader's family wakes up, the patriarch will take you to meet those humans."

The man said, pointing to a super-sized nutrition cabin in the center of the room.

Little Carrot looked in the direction he pointed, only to find that his little friend Pumpkin was lying there quietly.

Surrounded by a circle of gleaming silver monsters, they looked like sentries in tiny mechs.

Little Luobo looked around the room, only to realize that everyone was tall and shiny, including the person who was talking to him just now.

Are they Sentinels in mechs too?

The little guy couldn't tell the difference, but the little trust that had just been raised was taken back by him again.

He jumped out of the closet, ran to Pumpkin, and asked vigilantly, "What happened to Pumpkin?"

"Pumpkin? Is that what you call my toot?" a tall Tiki said in a teary voice. "Oh, that sounds... pretty good."

Even Little Carrot could hear how insincere he was.

He didn't want to talk to these people anymore, but slapped the strange "big fish tank" in front of him vigorously, and shouted loudly while patting: "Pumpkin, get up! Let's go find Qiuqiu!"

"Oh, little guy." The person who just spoke stopped him, "Dudu is repairing his body, and he can only wake up after he recovers—but why hasn't he woke up after so long..." He cried again as he spoke stand up.

Another taller Tieji quickly comforted, "Don't worry, Dudu has been away for too long, it's not surprising that it takes longer to repair, he will be fine."

"Is that right?"

"That's right." His voice was low, and it was easy for others to trust him.

But little radish got angry, "A pumpkin is a pumpkin, so it's not called Dudu!"

He slapped harder, as if wanting to shatter the nutrition cabin.

The tall Tieji people around were a little at a loss, and didn't understand why the little guy was suddenly angry.

At this moment, the pumpkin in the nutrition cabin slowly opened its eyes.
