Devil's Playground

Chapter 167 Alien Raiders

Hearing Yi's question, Vera blinked, then laughed suddenly, and asked back with great interest, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Curious." Yi said.

"Not necessarily." Vera bluntly exposed Yi's perfunctory, "You didn't just come here today. As far as I know, you were the ones who started the civil war that was raging a while ago, and finally killed Caihuang. I was annoyed, and personally drove you out."

"...you know?" Yi's face was expressionless, but Yang Jin and Lin Yu, who already knew a little about him, deciphered the clearness from his poker-like expression.

——They were indeed sent to wipe their asses.

Yang Jin couldn't help thinking of the speculation Yi had said when he just came out of the teleportation cabin.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard what my sisters said." Vera said, "It's what you—er, they—called the banshee."

"That is to say, you really didn't arrive on this planet recently?" Yi Chen asked.

"At least much, much earlier than you guys...much." Vera smiled slightly and asked again, "Why do you ask this?"

Yi didn't say a word, as if he couldn't make up his mind whether to tell the truth or lie.

"I would like to take the liberty to ask you a question." Liu Ke interjected at the right time, helping Yi to resolve the embarrassment, "You live a long life this year?"

Ruoke's question stunned several people, including Yi, but Vera, who was sitting opposite them, froze, even showing a ferocious smile.

——Sure enough, age is the biggest taboo for all women.

Yang Jin thought indifferently.

However, Ruoke put on a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the end, and asked persistently: "There should be nothing that cannot be said, right? But all life forms that can travel through the universe are long-lived species. If they are similar to short-lived creatures like humans In comparison, you and I are both immortal monsters."

"How old are you?" Vera immediately raised her eyebrows.

"Well, this really takes a while..." Ruoke pondered seriously, and after a while he said, "Using human calculations, there should be more than 1 million."

"Are you older than me?" Tsubasa asked in surprise before Vera could react.

"Do you think I'm younger than you?" Rick laughed cheerfully.

"Are you really the immortal species?" Vera coughed lightly and questioned, "One hundred million years old, this is almost immortal."

"Compared to the planet under our feet, we are still very young." Ruoke replied with a smile.

"I don't have the guts to compare lifespans with galaxies." Vera shook her head, "I'm not as old as you, and it's only a few million years since I was born."

——They are all immortal.

Yang Jin lowered his eyelids, secretly cursing.

At this time, Rick had already changed the topic from lifespan to Vera's race, asking about the average life expectancy of Vera's race, and at the same time trying to find out where they came from.

But Vera is not as naive as the people of Caiguo, she understood Ruoke's intentions immediately, and said with a smile, "Are you so curious about me?"

"Indeed." Rick admitted frankly.

"Why?" Vera asked.

Rick chuckled, "How about this, let's trade questions for questions, you answer one question for me, and I answer another question for you."

"Okay, who will go first?" Vera seemed very interested in Rick's proposal.

"Ladies first." Sulker said with a smile.

"I like this statement." Vera raised her eyebrows. "Then, the first question, what are you doing on this planet?"

"We don't know either." Ruke spread his hands and said, "The higher-ups gave orders, and we will follow them. As for the purpose, we can't ask, and we won't get an answer if we ask."

"False." Vera's face darkened slightly.

"It's time for me to ask a question." Liu Ke chuckled, "Why are you here?"

"There's no reason, it just happened to happen." Vera's words seemed to be retaliation, but then she added, "We are used to wandering in the universe, falling into stars with meteors. It can be said that once we enter the universe, Where we go and where we don’t go depends on luck, we have absolutely no control over it.”

"So that's how it is." Rick nodded knowingly.

"Look, I'm more sincere than you." Vera said coquettishly.

"I didn't lie either." Rick replied with a straight face.

"Hmph." Vera tilted her head and asked again, "Is the purpose of your coming here to invade?"

"...Unfortunately, I can't give you a definite answer." This time, Rick hesitated before speaking, "I can only say that I—and my companions have no such intention."

"That's it." It seemed that Vera was quite satisfied with such an uncertain answer.

Liu Ke then asked: "Can you let me see your real appearance?"

"Unfortunately, I can't." Vera spread her hands helplessly, "I can enter on my own initiative, but I cannot leave on my own."

Ruoke didn't ask whether "unable to leave on his own" meant that he could leave passively and forcibly, he just nodded and waited for Vera to ask.

"Are you willing to help me?" Vera's eyes were shining, and she looked at Rick without blinking.

"Very willing." Rick smiled brightly.

Ruk didn't ask the question that it was his turn, and after giving the answer that he was willing to help, he negotiated with Vera about the time of departure and the related route.

Vera obviously didn't want to stay in the camp on Huxin Island for a long time. Hearing that Ruoke and others planned to leave tomorrow morning, she immediately told them that she would leave with them at the same time.

After agreeing on a specific time to leave, Vera got up and left, telling her human friends the news. Ru Ke and Yi didn't stay in the tent either, so King Guang, Yang Jin, and Lin Yu stayed to guard the tent. Run out and hang out.

"Our existence seems to be becoming more and more redundant!" Yang Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Before Lin Yu could say anything, King Guang answered in a depressed tone, "Aren't I the same?"

Yang Jin was not good at commenting on the relationship between other people's races, so he laughed dryly and stopped continuing this topic that shouldn't have been said.

Long after dark, Rick and Tsubasa returned to the tent, bringing back news that Vera probably wasn't lying.

The two of them went out not only for Vera, but also for understanding this planet.After exchanging food for some sundries they didn't need, Rick chatted with the survivors in the camp and asked them when the plague of banshees broke out.

The statements of these survivors are completely consistent. The banshees in various places all emerged after the network communication was destroyed in the late period of the civil war. Although the time was earlier and later, the difference was less than one month. There has never been such a terrible contagious plague on earth.

The men of Caiguo defined the Banshee Plague as a virus infection, which is similar to Yi's people.

It can also be heard from Vera's words that the banshee should be a kind of parasitic microorganism. They use female or female bodies as hosts and obtain nutrients from male or male bodies.This kind of microorganism is likely to come from distant outer space. When it does not find a host, it will be mixed with soil minerals, and then enter space voluntarily or involuntarily, becoming a meteorite until it falls into a new planet.

Both Yi and Rick believe that the Banshee should be a fairly ancient species of life, and its history may even be compared with the origin of the galaxy.

"The development model of life is to adjust from small to large." Yi said, "Microorganisms are the ancestors of all species."

When it came to this point, Yang Jin realized that the [-] million-year-old life that Ruke mentioned actually contained water.Their [-] million years are actually [-] million light-years, a considerable part of which is consumed in the space shuttle, and the part that can really be equivalent to the concept of time on the earth actually does not account for even half.

Even so, Yi and Rick's lifespan is not comparable to that of human beings, not even in human history.

But Ru Ke and Yi didn't talk about this to explain the so-called "longevity species" branch of life to Yang Jin and the others. They just used it for comparison and guessed Vera's species and origin.

Vera has admitted in disguise that she did not come to this planet when the banshee plague broke out.When the disaster broke out, she had probably lived on this planet for more than a hundred years.

"Wait, we overlooked one thing." Yi suddenly said, "To be precise, it's a sentence."

"You mean about Caihuang?" Rick asked.

"Did you notice?" Yi lowered his face, a little unhappy.

"Yi, it's not suitable to get to the bottom of the matter when bargaining, it will make the opponent vigilant, and then give birth to resistance." Rick explained to Yi solemnly, "Tomorrow, she will take her little boyfriend with us on the road , we will have a lot of time to explore the questions we want to know."

Yi didn't speak anymore, but the expression on his face clearly said: You always have your fallacies.

At this time, Lin Yu suddenly interjected: "In this case, we can no longer continue to bury transmission nodes in the short term, right?"

"Ah, that's also a problem." Ruk suddenly clapped his hands.

Yi thought for a while, "Pause first, let's go to the new city to see the situation together, and if it can't be over in a while, we will act separately. In any case, you have to complete the task of burying the node."

"Understood." Lin Yu nodded.

In the early morning of the next day, Vera brought a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to the door of Yangjin's tent, and Yang Jin and the others finally knew why Vera had to find someone to "help" them leave the camp.

The suspension car that carried Vera and Doyle out broke down, but the camp had no technicians who could repair the car. Unless Vera wanted to reveal her identity as a banshee, she could only walk to the newly built closed City.In this way, the banshee's invasion is secondary, the key is that the items they can carry with them are limited, not to mention food and drinking water, just carrying tents and sleeping bags is an unbearable burden.If you don't bring them, you will have to sleep in the wild, but the physique of Caiguo people can hardly bear such hardships. In case of illness, medicine and doctors will become new problems.

Liu Ke didn't let Yang Jin take out their vehicles, and took King Guang to the place where Vera and Doyle kept their cars. "Borrowed" some parts from the car to complete and repair Vera and Doyle's car.

Liu Ke is the one who understands the "people's heart" best among the group of "people". When repairing the car, he thought of the possible impact and troubles.When going to the place where the car was placed, I deliberately went there quietly. During the process of repairing the car, I also restrained King Guang from making noise, so as not to attract the attention of other people in the camp.They were even more cautious when leaving, so that Vera and Doyle got on the levitation vehicle and "flyed" away from the camp with Yang Jin and the others, only then did the rest of the camp realize that a companion had left.

Doyle was also very knowledgeable, and did not ask Vera and Rick to bring other people along, and kept a pleasant silence from the beginning to the end.
