Chapter 1629 Feathers and Trade
"What's going on here..."
In the darkness, a dozen Ershi people and a spy were... slowly moving under a high metal wall.
They all cast their sights towards a less dark place - the entrance gate of the base.
The door to the second base is currently open, and light is shining from inside.
However, if you look inside, you can see that the light is not emitted by the lighting equipment inside. In fact, all buildings or equipment that can emit light in this base are turned off.
The glowing things in the base are emitted by things that look like mounds. The height of these mounds is... one to two meters. There is a golden object emitting brilliant light placed on the top of them, like this. Mounds of soil were everywhere in the base, and this scene was very... strange to the Ershi people.
"Contact failed..." The manager put the phone into his waist with a disappointed look on his face and said, "I wonder if anyone is still in the base."
"What's going on with those mounds?" an Ershi soldier asked, "I've never seen anything like this before..."
"That's a golden egg." The bright-colored Er Shimin continued: "That's also an experimental creature... An idiot in the laboratory suddenly came up with an idea, saying that he wanted to make living gold."
"Living gold?" the soldier asked in surprise, "What is that?"
"There is an egg of a creature here, and the embryo inside will glow when it grows." Yan Ershimin said: "An idiot in the laboratory developed... a drug. Injecting this drug can make the egg glow. It is brighter and will not hatch for a long time, but it can remain active and will not die. The purpose of researching this kind of eggs is to sell them on the market..."
"Is there any creature with glowing eggs?" the soldier asked, "Aren't glowing eggs easy to eat?"
"The original purpose of this creature is to have its eggs eaten." The colorful Er Shimin said: "This way the cubs inside will have food to eat when they are born. They are originally a kind of parasitic animal, and it is also like this, so that the eggs can be eaten for a long time. It’s easy not to hatch.”
"You actually did such a thing..." the manager said in surprise: "Then what happened to these eggs?"
"It wasn't us, it was an idiot in the laboratory who didn't have normal intelligence." Yan Ershimin said: "As for these eggs, a batch was intended to be shipped up there for sale, but during the transportation... they were attacked , and then it was never recreated.”
This colorful citizen seems to know the research institute very well.
Lin felt that it should have a deep relationship with there.
"Then why are these eggs here?" the steward asked: "What are those mounds of dirt?"
"I don't know, maybe some other creatures moved here." Yan'er Shimin said: "The eggs that were transported were all missing after being attacked. They may have been moved away by some other creatures..."
"Beep!"
Before it finished speaking, a voice rang out in the base. Both Lin and the Ershimin here saw many... creatures with feathers and limbs appearing around the mounds.
"It's Feathertooth!" The manager said upon seeing this: "Did they bring those eggs and the mound of soil? How did they invade this base?"
"Beep beep beep beep beep!" More and more feather teeth appeared around the mound. Lin noticed that they looked like... birds, including heads, bodies and feet, but their upper limbs were closer to you. Shimin's hands had three fingers, which could flexibly grasp things, but seemed unable to fly. They jumped around the mound and screamed, and Lin found that they were very excited.
"Okay, you are finally here."
At this time, Lin heard a voice... Er Shimin's voice.
She saw the door of the largest building in the base open, and a group of Ershimin walked out of it. Lin found that the leader... Ershimin was wearing strange clothes. It was dressed in feathers and had a sharp mask on its head. It seems to be imitating Feather Teeth. As for the other Ershimin beside it, they are wearing normal combat uniforms and holding weapons in their hands.
"The base is fine! They are all still here!" a soldier said as he prepared to walk out, but was held back by the manager.
"Wait a minute, the situation is very strange..." the manager said, "Let's take another look before we decide."
"Beep beep!" Ershimin, who was playing the role of Feather Teeth and wearing feathers, first imitated Feather Teeth and said a few words, and then said in normal Ershi language: "Aren't you a little short of eggs this time? , this will not give you the promised reward."
"Beep beep beep!" There was also a leader on Yuya's side who walked up to it and shouted continuously. At the same time, a group of Yuya behind it dragged a very long thing over.
"This is..." Er Shimin, who was playing the role, immediately showed excitement when he saw this, because what the Feather Teeth dragged was a black object. Lin thought... it should be the thorn of the 'sea urchin' before, but no Exactly the same, this one is smaller.
"It's great that you actually got something like this." Er Shimin said: "In this case, I have to give you the promised reward. Hey, bring the apples over here!"
While it was talking, Lin also saw a group of soldiers, Ershimin, bringing in boxes of red fruits, with more than a dozen in each box. They piled these boxes in front of Feather Tooth.
"As promised, one egg is exchanged for one box of apples. As for this thorn, how about I exchange it for two boxes of apples?"
"Beep, beep, beep!" These feather teeth seemed to become extremely excited after hearing this. They immediately agreed to this request. After the leader's feather teeth beeped a few times, the other feather teeth immediately took the apple. After grabbing everything, they all ran out of the base, leaving only the golden eggs and the thorn still there.
"They are actually...making a deal with Feather Tooth?"
The manager and all the Ershimin who were peeking outside the door looked stunned, but the manager was the first to react... He immediately ran out and walked into the door.
"Hey! You guys!"
The soldiers who were recovering the golden eggs in the second base were all shocked, and the feathered Ershimin was also stunned when he saw this. After seeing that it was the manager, he said: "Hey, Louis, why are you here?" Already?"
"What the hell!" the manager said angrily, "Jack, why are you making a deal with them?"
"What's so strange about this?" said the feathered Ershimin named Jack: "Who wouldn't want the profits? If it were you, wouldn't you let go of such a good opportunity?" (To be continued.)
