Falling into the Abyss

Vol 2 Chapter 12: Atonement: Red Earth (10)

Samuel took off his spacesuit and rushed into a bathroom casually, rubbing himself all over. Although reason knows that the □□ through the thick spacesuit is impossible to stick to oneself, there is still no way to stop imagining what would become if the skin was contaminated with those things.

Ethan poured himself a full glass of red wine with a trembling hand, drank it rumblingly, poured another glass, and drank again. The liquor slowly diffused and burned in the stomach, and a warm feeling finally dispelled the cold horror in my heart. His hands were still shaking uncontrollably, his teeth clenched as if there was no way to control them apart. He heard the sound of footsteps and saw Tanisel walking across the corridor and stepping straight into a biological sample analysis room. Ethan gritted his teeth, stood up and ran after him.

He slammed open the door of the analysis room, and as expected he saw that Tanisel was holding the test tube with the weird bug in his hand, as if he was planning to make a section and put it in the intelligent microscope for analysis. He said loudly, "We must contact the mother ship, it is too dangerous here!"

Tanisel didn't even lift it, put on his gloves, and concentrated on dropping the dangerous liquid sample on the glass slide. "Do you think the mother ship would care? Of course they know there is weirdness here, otherwise they won't bring you here. ."

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

Tanithel's movements paused for a while, his eyes turned slightly, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Are you threatening me?"

Listening to the priest with a slightly surprised and dangerous tone, Ethan insisted on not backing down, "This is not a threat, this is a fact. In the face of death, everyone is afraid of death, especially that kind of death. Even if you know the risk of threatening the mother ship with you It's huge, but compared to death, it's a way of life." He saw the priest being silent, so he took a few steps forward, his firm gaze met the silver-gray eyes through the lens, "Don't forget Now, we are all desperadoes, and we can do everything if we are pressed."

Tanithel suddenly chuckled, as if he saw something very cute, "I didn't expect you to look so weak, but you are not at all courageous. Don't worry, I have already contacted the mother ship just now. Now, they will send Evestar's soldiers down."

"Really? How many people to send?"

"Eve's side and the Earth side will each send several people down, and your security chief will also come."

After hearing a heart, Ethan finally hovered, leaning on the table behind him as if exhausted, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows that were aching from worry, "That's good...that's good... …" But just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "What are they doing? Wouldn't they just take you back?!"

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

Ethan's breathing started quickly again. His face was pale, and he felt his heart sink into the bottomless abyss. He was immersed in his thoughts and didn't feel that Tanithel had walked up to him, tilted his head slightly, as if admiring his panic expression. He suddenly leaned forward and sniffed around Ethan's neck.

Ethan was startled, his whole body instantly stiffened, "What are you doing!"

Tanisel did not move. His height is considered tall even among the Eve star people whose average height is about five centimeters higher than that of humans. At this moment, he slightly lowers his head and looks at Beta with an absolute height advantage, with a charming smile on his lips, "You humans may I don’t know, Beta also smells. And when I found out that you were scared, the smell on your body was particularly good."

Ethan was shocked by the electric smile for a moment, then frowned again. He thought that the priest was changing the subject, so he turned and left with some irritation. But Tanithel suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The priest's slender and beautiful hands were unexpectedly powerful, like iron rings, unable to break free. Ethan was inexplicable 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 room, and no one is allowed to enter for any reason, except me." Tanithel still had that perfect smile, and his words were gentle, but how did Ethan sound like an order . He then provocatively said, "Is the medical warehouse sealed to prevent others from seeing the rebellion?!"

"Yes." Tanithel answered without hesitation and full of sincerity.

Ethan was so speechless that he was speechless. He clenched his teeth and his eyes burned with anger, "But not only do I not intend to block, I also intend to warn everyone!"

Tanisel leaned slightly, and the distance between the two had already shrunk beyond personal comfort. The priest suddenly pushed Ethan to the wall and confined him with his arm. His silver-gray eyes stared deeply into Ethan’s pupils, as if looking directly at the depths of his soul, "Did you forget yourself? Identity? Or... Do you like me to force you to do it?"

The other party's deliberately elongated tone touched some secrets hidden in Ethan's heart. He sweats on his forehead and wants to escape. "Even if I didn't say it, Samuel would say it."

"I didn't ask you not to say anything, just let you use your highest authority to lock down the medical room. 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 who have no brains from touching Jeff's body. Those things that came out of the inside." Tanithel's other hand gently grabbed Ethan’s chin, raised his face without denial, forcing the opponent to intersect his line of sight, and his voice became deeper and deeper. "You know I'm right, I am the only one in the mother ship who is willing to help you, you better be obedient."

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

Otto had just got up to go to the bathroom, and when he heard the sound of the wall hitting, he opened the door and took a look, which was dumbfounded.

Yaoshou, is that priest stealing Samuel's toy? !

"Hey! Little white face! What the **** are you doing!" Otto has always been the most loyal, so he kicked the door wide open. Ethan was shaken by such a big movement, and he quickly began to struggle. Tanithel calmly let go of Ethan, straightened his clothes, and said lightly in Ethan's ear, "Someone has already started, you better as soon as possible." After that, he turned and left.

Otto wanted to fight Tanithel, but the other side glanced at him faintly, and the eyes on his forehead opened a thin line. In that glance, he suddenly felt a strong deterrent, which made him feel like he was not obedient, staying in an inexplicable obedience. It wasn't until the opponent's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor that the strange feeling was relieved.

Otto scolded a series of swear words with anger, then looked at Ethan hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

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

"What does he want to do?"

"It's nothing, we just have a bit of disagreement." He unknowingly moved out the rhetoric that he used to be an official with the Energy Bureau. Otto glanced at him suspiciously, and left.

Ethan slid down the corner and sat on the ground, holding his head in both hands, only feeling exhausted. After being silent for a while, he still said to the void, "Gina, I want to execute the first level of authority and block the medical room. No one except me is allowed to enter."

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

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

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, and there were densely packed earth characters next to it, which were full of technical terms that Ethan could not understand, but Ethan was still dumbfounded.

The liquid slices were densely lined with things that were supposed to be cells or bacteria, but what Ethan saw were all small, slender, human-faced weird worms, twisted and twisted together... …

Strange bugs as small as cells...the folds on their heads stack up human-like faces.

Could it be...this is why they can drill into the body along the pores of the skin? They multiply rapidly in the human body, and then burst out?

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

There is no end to the cycle, is this the eternity that Tanithel said?

Falling into a certain nightmarish imagination, he quickly turned his eyes away. This is definitely not a normal creature, it is simply impossible to exist. However, it really exists.

And... Looking at Jeff's appearance, are all the weird bugs born from other human bodies? Is this the truth behind the disappearance of the pioneer team members? But why would they not have time to leave a few words? What is the relationship between these weird bugs and the dark things in the sky?

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

——————————

After Samuel came out of the bath, he immediately woke up several of his little brothers, and then asked them to wake up the rest. There are thirty-three hours in a day on the red earth, and it is about six o'clock in the morning. The huge red sun has just exposed a section of the edge from the horizon, and the dark purple sky gradually changes to orange. Their No. 18 base is located in a relatively dry inland grassland area, with little rainfall, and most of the time the weather is very clear. Even in the daytime, one or two crescent moons hanging to the west can be vaguely seen.

All the non-people rushed to grab the toilet, and some people who got up earlier were already eating compressed food in the hall to supplement energy. Samus looked a little impatiently at the subordinates who were scolding each other in the bathroom first, and the self-soothing movements of constantly rubbing fingers revealed his inner anxiety.

"All of you listen to me. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the base without my consent. If you see any creatures on this earth, whether it is plants, animals or bugs, you must never come in contact with them privately. Tell me, do you understand?!"

His voice was loud and loud like a bell. Many of the fifty inhumans were not him at all, but at the moment they all seemed extremely obedient, probably because Samuel always seemed aggressive and confident.

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

Samuel pursed his lips, a moment of uncertainty. Just as he was considering whether to tell Jeff’s situation, Steyn Derek drank a carton of milk and said nonchalantly, “He’s probably dead. You don’t want to see it. of."

When these words came out, Ethan and Samuel were shocked. Ethan couldn't help but stood up, "You... have you been in the command room?!"

Doesn’t the command room require certain permissions to enter? At present, only Ethan has this permission, right?

Derek shrugged and wiped a circle of 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 is not too complicated. Encrypted, it’s not difficult to see what you did two hours ago."

Derek's words caused a commotion, and that Jarvin suddenly raised his brows and his face was angry, "What happened to you Jeff?!"

"He was infected by a local organism. To prevent the spread of the virus, we quarantined him. You probably won't see him for the time being." Before Samuel and Ethan spoke, Tanithel came out calmly. With a always gentle smile on his face, the ball of breath flew up and down around him, "But don't worry, because there will be support soon."
