Be careful from the male insect [Interstellar]

Alvin didn't want to leave his home in the northern part of Tobias Star.

And even if he had to go out, he didn't want to go at this time.

"Sauron isn't ready yet!" he protested to the female father Holden.

Sauron is a mechanical dog, modified by Aiwen with the gadgets he picked up from the garbage mountain.The mechanical dog was designed to look like the most brutal and ferocious hyena beast on Tobias, but the whole body shone with metallic brilliance. The place where a pair of small bean eyes should have been marked with two big rings immediately set off the gigantic mechanical beast. A kind of out-of-proportion silly cuteness.

"I was just about to modify the design of its hind legs!" Aiwen beeped loudly, "Then I made an appointment with Todd to make a bet, and see who can run faster between it and the real hyena when it is really made. ..."

"Todd will go with you."

Evan fell silent immediately.

After a while, he asked suspiciously, "What am I going to do this trip?"

Holden smiled and beckoned him over, "Come on, let me show you something good."

As expected, when the lid of the box was opened, Ivan's eyes were straightened.

"I need you and Todd to take care of each other on the road, and send this little thing to the starship dock at the southern end of the planet." Holden reminded carefully, "Remember, this "mechanical heart" is very important to the Serbian garrison , Be sure to be safe. This arduous task is entrusted to you. As long as you complete it satisfactorily, I will count your experience as a success. When you come back, I will not only finish Sauron with you, but also give you all my mechanical knowledge. How about teaching them all?"

Ai Wen made a decisive decision: "Deal!"

Holden quickly emphasized: "It must be sent in one piece."

Aiwen swears to the sky: "Don't worry, since this thing is in my hands, from now on, the heart will be there, and the heart will be destroyed!"

Holden: "...There is no need to swear such a poisonous oath."

In short, in the few days before departure, Aiwen completely forgot about the poor mechanical dog, and instead seized the time to study the mechanical heart fascinatedly.Holden repeatedly emphasized that he did not dare to take it lightly, so he repeatedly practiced how to hide it skillfully to ensure that no matter what, this precious little thing would not be accidentally touched by insects while he was sleeping on a long-distance car.Compared with him, his little friend Todd is obviously not interested.For him, the pie that Holden drew for him is not as real as an errand fee.

"But the most important thing is to make sure you come back with all your tails, you know." Todd said, while slapping Ivan on the back of the shoulder in disgust, almost slapping him directly from the stairs.Aiwen immediately got up angrily and called out the semi-finished mechanical dog loudly.Sauron came out in response, and the two worms and the dog wrestled into a ball. In the end, it was Holden who came to pull the worms apart and gave the last instructions before the journey.

[In short, protect the mechanical heart.Everything has already been arranged. As soon as you arrive at the designated area, the location will be sent directly to the terminal of Major General Ryan, and he will come to you.Don't forget the password.Don’t get too excited and nervous when you arrive at the place, just relax and wait for the bug~~]

Before leaving, the kind father Holden said so.

At the moment, Aiwen was struggling to cat in a dilapidated narrow alley, and Todd followed him, and the two worms were trembling and moving to the left at a turtle speed.Ivan was in charge of exploring the way, and Todd was in charge of the backpack. After moving like this for a long time, they finally managed to dump one by one into the bushes of Kazuki.

"That," Todd stammered in a whisper, "we now..."

"boom!"

A bullet whized past his head.

Todd shut up immediately.

Alvin: ...

So, what about the good "everything has been arranged"?

"Don't overstress"? ?

"Just wait for the worm"? ? ?

Why did they rush all the way cautiously and slowly, but as soon as they stepped into the dock area, they were waiting to be chased and killed——

This is another price!

"Calm down." Aiwen was expressionless, roaring inwardly, and had to lower his head to comfort Todd, whose big face was already pale with fright, "Small scene. If you think about it, there are less than ten worms on the opposite side, but we used to be in the garbage In the mountains, you fought with more than [-] worms and won a group fight, right?"

"Can that be the same?" Todd scolded the insects all over his face, "These insects have guns!"

But hiding here is not a long-term solution, and it will be discovered sooner or later.Aiwen still looked out of the fence with his eyes alert, and began to try to finalize a tactic with Todd.

"Hey, Todd," he said, "we'd better split up. In this way, the Major General Ryan who came to meet us has my position, so I'll lure them first, and you can find an opportunity to run back to the station." .”

Todd doubted: "You come to distract them? Can you do it?"

Todd's skepticism is absolutely justified.At this time, the two worms were crowded in the bushes, and when he turned his head, he could see Aiwen's serious little round face. There was an ordinary black worm eye in the left eye socket, and a dark gray prosthetic eye on the right.Aiwen's right eye is incomplete, and he usually wears a black eye patch, but this time he took it off completely when he went out.

At this time, the inorganic prosthetic eye was shining faintly in the darkness, which was actually the unique cold beauty of the machine.

It's pretty good.Todd thought.

Wait, is it a good thing now! !

Before he came back to his senses, Aiwen turned back in shock: "I can't do it? How dare you look down on me! Did you forget how I beat you violently before?"

"That's different." Todd patiently explained, "Everything is fine around home, but you..."

He looked down again, looking at the arms and legs wrapped by Aiwen's sleeves and trouser legs.Aiwen's eyes are not the only ones that are missing. Although he usually acts like a normal worm, dragging his prosthetic limbs for such a long distance always makes the worm feel uneasy.

But Todd didn't dare to say this directly, for fear that Aiwen would beat him violently, so he changed his words: "If you have any troubles, your mother father will wring my head off."

Ai Wen raised his eyebrows: "So Holden is so cruel in your eyes?"

The two worms didn't let anyone else, they quarreled with each other in low voices for a long time, and finally came up with a plan.The strong and tall Todd was in charge of leading away the unknown star thief who was chasing them to the station while ensuring his own safety, while the short Ivan escaped with his heart in another way, and immediately went back to make a rescue after connecting with Major General Ryan.

Finally, Ivan stretched out his claws and touched Todd's big fist:

"be careful."

Todd goes first.Aiwen continued to lurk in the bushes, counting to ten in his heart, and heard the voice gradually fade away.

Then he got up decisively, patted the remaining twigs and grass leaves on his body, and walked carefully along the wall to the other end of the alley.

After leaving this area and reaching an open place, he can...

"boom!"

As soon as Ivan turned the corner, he had a cheek-to-cheek encounter with a strange black-clothed bug.The muscles under the clothes of the black-clothed insect bulged, with a scar on his face and an upside-down skull tattooed on the back of his hand.

And a quarter of an hour ago, Aventaud had just met a team of killers with skull tattoos on the back of their hands, and was chased very embarrassingly.

Ai Wen took a breath and slowly raised his head.

The killer stares: ...

Ivan stared: ...

Why is there a fish that slipped through the net here!

Ai Wen forced a smile: "Uh, how are you?"

Ai Wen cautiously probed, "Well, may I borrow it?"

----

The small starship encountered airflow clouds and arrived at the south pier of Tobias Star later than the renewal.

The Serbia star and the Tobias star are adjacent, and the two stars are often dubbed "difficult brothers".It is the line of defense farthest from the main star, so a group of soldiers have been stationed here all year round and have not returned to the main star for many years.They often have nowhere to go, because anyone who has a relationship with the family will not let the female be sent to Serbia.Therefore, all the war orphans gathered here were subsidized war orphans, including Ryan, who was already a major general.

Ryan thought vaguely that even on the same barren Star Tobias, the last time he set foot was a year ago.

In contrast, the night that left the main star eight years ago seems even more distant.

But Ryan has more important things to do than remembering the illusory past.He quickly docked the starship, sneaked into the hidden place outside the dock, and turned on the optical brain again.

[Everything has already been arranged. Once you arrive at the designated area, the location of the other party will be sent directly to your terminal.The secret sign is "the weather is nice today" - "white radish!".I wish you a pleasant journey~~]

Ryan frowned at the last two magical symbols.

Yam Holden, he had already heard of her name.It is said that 50 years ago, this worm was the leading scientist in the Federal Academy of Sciences, especially famous for its contribution to "Spark Technology", and its edge was unstoppable.However, later on, he was suddenly involved in an academic dispute, and after a setback, he resigned sadly and left for a remote planet, never to appear in the eyes of the worms again.

Until half a year ago.

Every autumn is when the tide of alien beasts passes through Serbia.However, since last year, this kind of harassment, which could have been easily solved, has become a large-scale crime.The large-scale battle that took place last autumn caused heavy casualties to the Serbian garrison. They immediately asked the Federation for help, but the news was clearly sent, but there was no news.It's not that they didn't answer at all, but the politicians of the main planet used to use hypocrisy and obscenity to go around with them, but the supplies and reinforcements were delayed.There are two ways for the main star to support the defenders of the Serbian star to resist the tide of alien beasts:

First, send more soldiers.

Second, send bugs to activate the "treasure of the faction" in the barracks, the super mech Alpha that Wu Chong has successfully piloted in the past 50 years.

The former needs more human and financial resources, while the latter needs the talents and supplies of Spark Technology.

Apparently the politicians in the federation don't want to give any.

Anyway, the Serbia star fell, and it was only a Tobias star that was involved.The tide of alien beasts has its own established route, and at most one more Rodmond star will be submerged, which is still far away from the main star.

But the other thing that's clear is that politicians are never free from bifurcation and bickering.

According to the principle of "an enemy's enemy is a friend", if your enemy is determined not to help Serbia, you can do it.

That's why Ryan received a secret letter from the female named Russell.

[I have managed to contact Holden who disappeared 50 years ago. 】

【Guess where he is?Right here on Tobias. 】

[A genius is still a genius after 50 years.He has created a matching energy heart for your Mech Alpha, code-named "Key"]

[As for the others, Holden has his own channel to contact you. 】

Sure enough, three days later, Ryan's terminal was suddenly hacked by a strange visitor.

The other party didn't seem to care about his response at all, and disappeared without a trace after leaving a series of messages. The only thing left was a small blue program that remained in Ryan's terminal following the intrusion.

But now, on the new interface automatically generated by the terminal, a small red dot is slowly moving, and the scale is already very close to the pier.

all the best.

and many more.

Ryan narrowed his eyes.

Why does this worm keep doing Brownian motion in the same area? ?

He lowered his gaze, put his gun in place, rechecked the range of activities of the little red dot, and walked out of the pier.
