Falling into the Abyss

After Samuel took off his space suit, he rushed into a bathroom and rubbed himself all over.Although he rationally knew that it was impossible for those diapers to stick to his body through the thick space suit, he still couldn't stop imagining what would happen if his skin was contaminated with those things.

Ethan poured himself a full glass of red wine with trembling hands, gulped it down, filled another glass, and drank it again.The wine slowly diffused and burned in the stomach, and a warm feeling finally dispelled some of the cold terror in my heart.His hands were still trembling uncontrollably, and his teeth were clenched tightly, as if there was no way to control them from separating.He heard footsteps and saw Tanisel passing through the corridor, and stepped straight into a biological sample analysis room.Ethan gritted his teeth, stood up and chased after him.

He slammed open the door of the analysis room, and as expected, he saw that Taniser was holding the test tube containing the strange insect in his hand, and seemed to be planning to make a slice and put it into the smart microscope for analysis.He said loudly, "We must contact the mother ship, it is too dangerous here!"

Tanithel didn't even lift it up, put on his gloves, and concentrated on dripping the dangerous liquid sample on the glass, "Do you think the mother ship would care? Of course they know there are weird things here, otherwise they wouldn't have brought you here .”

Ethan took a step forward, clenched his fists so tightly that his nails hurt his palms, "They don't care about us, but they always care about your safety. If others see Jeff's appearance, you think they Will I still be as polite to you as I am now?!"

Tanithel's movements paused for a moment, his eyes rolled slightly, and his brows raised slightly, "Are you threatening me?"

Hearing the priest's dangerous tone of surprise, Ethan insisted on not flinching, "This is not a threat, it's a fact. Everyone will be afraid of death, especially such a death. Even if you know the risk of threatening the mother ship It’s huge, but compared to death, it’s a way of life.” Seeing that the priest was silent, he took a few steps forward, and met those silver-gray eyes with a firm gaze through the lens, “Don’t forget Now, we are all a bunch of desperadoes, we are forced to do anything."

Tanithel suddenly laughed, as if he saw something very cute, "I didn't expect you to look so weak, and it's not like you don't have the guts at all. Don't worry, I have already contacted the mother ship just now Yes, they will send soldiers from Eve star down."

"Really? How many people to send?"

"Eve's side and Earth's side will each send a few people down, and your chief of guard will also come."

Ethan finally stopped after listening to his heart. He leaned on the table behind him as if he was exhausted, took off his glasses and rubbed the center of his brows that ached from worry, "That's good...that's good... ..." But just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "What are they doing here? Could it be that they just want to take you back?!"

Tanithel shrugged, "Then I don't know. They just said 'support'."

Ethan's steady breathing just now became rapid again.His face was pale, and he felt his heart sinking into a bottomless abyss.So immersed in his thoughts, he didn't feel that Tanisel had walked in front of him, tilting his head slightly, as if admiring his panicked expression.He suddenly leaned forward and sniffed Ethan's neck.

Ethan was taken aback, his whole body froze instantly, "What are you doing!"

Tanithel didn't move.His height is considered tall even among the Eve Stars whose average height is about five centimeters higher than humans. At this moment, with an absolute height advantage, he slightly lowered his head and looked at Beta, with a charming smile on his lips, "You humans may I don’t know, Beta also has a smell. And I found that when you are scared, the smell on your body is particularly good.”

Ethan was stunned by that smile for a moment, then frowned again.He thought the priest was changing the subject, so he turned to leave with a bit of annoyance.But Tanithel suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The priest's slender and beautiful hands were unexpectedly strong, and he couldn't break free like an iron ring.Ethan was baffled and didn't understand what the priest was going to do, so he turned his head and stared back, "Let go!"

"I want you to order Gina to completely seal the medical warehouse, and no one is allowed to enter for any reason, except me." Tanithel still had that perfect smile, and his tone was gentle, but Ethan sounded like an order .So he said provocatively, "Seal the medical warehouse so that no one else can see it and rebel?!"

"That's right." Tanithel replied without hesitation and was full of sincerity.

Ethan was at a loss for words and was speechless.He clenched his teeth, his eyes were burning with anger, "But not only do I not intend to block it, I also intend to warn everyone!"

Tanithel bowed slightly, and the distance between the two had already shrunk beyond their personal comfort distance.The priest suddenly pushed Ethan to the wall and imprisoned him with his own arms. His silver-gray eyes stared deeply into Ethan's pupils, as if looking straight into the depths of his soul, "Have you forgotten your own?" Identity? Or... do you like to let me force you to do it?"

The other party's deliberately elongated tone touched some secrets hidden in Ethan's heart.His brow was sweating, and he wanted to escape, "Even if I don't say it, Samuel will."

"I didn't tell you not to tell me, I just asked you to use your highest authority to seal off the medical warehouse. As long as they don't see it with their own eyes, they won't be blinded by fear, and it can also prevent those mindless people from touching Jeff's body. Those things that come out of it." Tanithel's other hand gently grabbed Ethan's chin, and he lifted his face up without hesitation, forcing the other party to meet his gaze, and his voice became deeper and deeper "You know I'm right, I'm the only one in the mothership who is willing to help you, you'd better be obedient."

At this moment, the positions of the two of them were already very ambiguous, but Ethan, who was deeply trapped in the shackles, didn't know himself, nor did he notice when the door was pushed open.Although Tanisel had already noticed that someone was approaching, he didn't care.

Otto just got up and was about to go to the toilet, but when he heard the sound of the wall hitting the wall, he opened the door and took a look. He was dumbfounded.

Yaoshou, is that priest trying to steal Samuel's toy? !

"Hey! Little boy! What the hell are you doing!" Otto has always been the most loyal, and he kicked the door wide open.Such a big movement made Ethan tremble, and immediately began to struggle.Tanithel let go of Ethan calmly, straightened his clothes, and said lightly in Ethan's ear, "Someone has already started to get up, you'd better hurry up." After saying that, he turned and left.

Otto originally wanted to fight with Tanisel, but the other party glanced at him lightly, and the eyes on his forehead opened a thin line.He suddenly felt a strong deterrent force in that glance, which made his whole body seem to be disobedient, and stayed in an inexplicable obedience.The weird feeling was not relieved until the figure of the other party disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Otto was so angry that he cursed a series of swear words, then looked at Ethan hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

Ethan was upset when he heard the tone obviously caring for Omega.He tried his best to control his expression and make himself look calm, "It's okay, thank you."

"What does he want?"

"It's nothing, we just disagree a little bit." Unknowingly, he brought out the same set of rhetoric that he used to use in the Energy Bureau.Otto looked at him suspiciously, then left too.

Ethan slid along the corner of the wall and sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands, feeling exhausted.After being silent for a while, he still said to the void, "Gina, I want to execute the first-level authority and seal the medical warehouse, and no one is allowed to enter except me."

Gina's gentle and submissive voice came from beside her ear, "Okay."

Ethan seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to ask, "Is there any result from the analysis of the slice that was put into the smart microscope just now?"

Gina replied, "There are already results. Would you like to read the report now?"

"it is good."

A clear image was projected in front of him, with densely packed earth characters beside it, filled with technical terms that Ethan couldn't understand, but Ethan was still dumbfounded.

The liquid slices were densely packed with things that should have been cells or bacteria, but what Ethan saw were all small, slender, strange insects with human faces, twisted and twisted together... …

Strange insects as small as cells... The folds of their heads stacked to form human-like faces.

Could it be... that's why they can drill into the body along the sweat pores of the skin?They proliferate rapidly in the human body, and then break out?

So... the body of that monster is also full of little monsters, so what about the bodies of these little monsters?Is it a smaller bug?

Endless cycle, is this the eternity that Tanisel said?

Falling into some kind of nightmarish imagination, he hastily turned his gaze away.This is definitely not a normal creature, it is simply impossible to exist.Yet it really exists.

And...Looking at Jeff's appearance, could it be that those strange insects also came from the bodies of other humans?Is this the truth about the disappearance of the pioneer team members?But why do they have no time to leave a few words?What is the relationship between these strange insects and the black thing in the sky in the video?

Most importantly, are there any other similar bugs in Base 18?

----------

When Samuel came out of the shower, he immediately woke up a few of his younger brothers, and then asked them to wake up the rest.There are 33 hours in a day on the red earth, and at this time it is about six o'clock in the morning, the huge red sun has just exposed a part of the edge from the horizon, and the deep purple sky is gradually changing towards orange.The No. 18 base where they are located is located in a relatively dry inland grassland area, with little rainfall, and the weather is very clear most of the time. Even in the daytime, one or two afterimages of the crescent moon hanging in the west can be vaguely seen.

All non-human beings went to grab the toilet one after another, and some of them who got up earlier were already eating compressed food in the living room to replenish their energy.Samuel looked impatiently at those subordinates who were scolding each other for using the bathroom first, but the self-soothing movements of constantly rubbing fingers revealed his inner anxiety.

"Everyone, listen to me. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the base without my consent. If you see any creature on this earth, whether it is a plant, an animal or a bug, you must never touch it privately. Come directly to the base. Tell me, do you understand?!"

His voice was as loud as a bell, resounding everywhere.Many of these fifty non-humans were not him at all, but they all seemed extremely submissive at the moment, probably because Samuel always seemed aggressive and confident.

It's just that not everyone obeys his leadership.Another Alpha Jiawen who had a normal relationship with Samuel suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Jeff is gone."

Samuel pursed his lips, feeling uncertain for a moment.Just as he was considering whether to tell about Jeff's condition, Stein Derek said nonchalantly while drinking a carton of milk, "He is probably almost dead, you don't want to see of."

As soon as these words came out, both Ethan and Samuel were stunned.Ethan couldn't hold back and stood up, "You...you have entered the command room?!"

Doesn't the command room require certain permissions to enter?At present, only Ethan should have this authority, right?

Derek shrugged and wiped the milk stains on his lips, "Didn't you want me to fix Gina's communication function before? As long as you can access Gina's central program, and the camera doesn't perform too complicated Encrypted, it's not that hard to see what you guys did two hours ago."

Derek's words caused a commotion, and Jiawen immediately raised his brows and looked angry, "What did you do to Jeff?!"

"He was infected by local organisms. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, we isolated him. You probably won't see him for a while." Before Samuel and Ethan could speak, Tanithel came out calmly, With the usual gentle smile on his face, the Wanxi ball flew up and down around him, "But you don't have to worry, because there will be support coming soon."
