Chapter 708 Swipe Your Card!

Xu Xin and the other two were walking behind Coco.

At the same time, the three of them were also observing the machines around them.

"What do you think these machines are used for?"

Li Wenxi asked very puzzledly.

"It looks so strange..."

These machines are much smaller than the huge machines used to process scarlet crystals that Xu Xin and the others saw before.

Each piece of machinery is two meters high and stands upright.

Just like tall stone monuments.

But it's not made of stone, but of metal.

Moreover, each machine has different patterns.

These patterns are not carved on it, but are composed of densely packed dark red spikes.

These spikes are at least five or six centimeters long and look extremely sharp.

The areas without patterns are composed of relatively short and thick black spikes.

Every machine is like a hedgehog, with spikes covering its entire body.

Xu Xin felt a little scared when she thought that she almost ran into these thorny mechanical monuments when she came down just now.

Fortunately, there was an alien invader's body that blocked him just now.

Otherwise, he was afraid that his blood would be splattered on the spot.

But it's not a big deal. As long as they don't die, each of them carries a large bottle of Qi Xuefei's medicine, so they are not afraid of getting hurt at all.

But I was afraid of what kind of reaction this strange stone tablet would have.

"Are these things the tombstones of alien invaders?" Li Wenxi guessed, "The shape looks like tombstones. Moreover, there are dead alien invaders everywhere here."

"This... after the alien invader died, didn't he bury him and let his body rot?"

Xu Xin felt that this guess was not correct.

"Hmm, maybe this is a unique burial method for alien invaders?" Li Wenxi looked at the corpses around and said.

"Probably not?"

Xu Ying felt it couldn't be that simple.

"This is also the entrance to a giant ship. Even if you want to bury the dead, would you choose a place like this?"

"That's right..." Li Wenxi walked to a piece of machinery and looked at it carefully.

"Hey!"

From ahead, Coco's voice came.

He was obviously urging them to hurry over.

Xu Xin and the others immediately quickened their pace.

Passing through the area of ​​alien invader corpses, the three of them saw Coco lying on a table.

After Xu Xin approached, Coco immediately jumped into Xu Xin's arms and got into the cloak.

"This is……"

The three of them noticed that the table was covered with densely packed buttons.

Obviously, the console.

Moreover, this structure looks familiar.

This console is almost exactly the same as the console in the underground prison where countless giant insect beasts were imprisoned and the insect mother was suppressed in the underground world.

From this point of view, the original console should have been modeled after the internal structure of this giant ship.

but……

"This should be the console that controls this space, right?"

Xu Xin wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid of causing an alarm, so she didn't touch it in the end.

Li Wenxi looked at Coco in Xu Xin's arms: "Coco, why did you bring us here? Do you want us to control this console?"

"Hey!" Coco nodded with half of her little head exposed.

"How to control it?" Xu Ying looked at the buttons on the console and asked.

The buttons on the console are labeled with text.

But she couldn't understand the words at all.

"Brother." Xu Ying turned to look at Xu Xin, "Can you understand the words? These should be the words of alien invaders."

Xu Xin shook his head.

He couldn't understand the text on the buttons either.

He can only understand the language of the alien invaders, but cannot read them.

He is considered illiterate in alien languages.

"I knew it..." Xu Ying shrugged slightly, "We didn't do any research on the alien invaders' words. I'm surprised that you can understand the alien invaders' words."

"What should we do? Does Keke know?" Li Wenxi reached out and touched half of Keke's little head.

"Hey..."

Coco obviously didn't know either.

Xu Xin frowned slightly: "Taking a step back, do we really want to control this console? Can these things here be touched casually?"

They just came to this giant ship to see if they could find the weapons of the alien invaders, or to see what other gains they could get.

It’s not something you have to do.

I feel like I should do as little as possible to do unnecessary things.

"Hey!"

Li Wenxi and Xu Ying haven't spoken yet, but Coco is a little dissatisfied.

The little guy stretched out a little paw and waved it, indicating that he would just do it. Believe it or not!

Xu Ying looked around and said, "But we don't know what to do now? This place is obviously closed. There is no other exit except the entrance where we slid down."

The giant ship is very large, more than two thousand meters and two kilometers in length.

This is still at the entrance to the huge ship's cabin, so there is a high probability that there will be only such a small space.

but……

There are no doors in any direction, and the situation here is so weird.

"how should I do it……"

Li Wenxi looked at the console.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, look!"

She pointed to a spot on the console.

In the upper left corner of the console, there is a rectangular red box, the size of a poker.

“Is this where the credit card is swiped?”

Swipe a card?

ah……!

Xu Xin and Xu Ying reacted immediately.

"Those metal cards! Didn't we just harvest seven metal cards? They might be useful!"

With that said, Li Wenxi took out the seven metal cards from his backpack.

In the darkness, the metal card glowed with a faint red light, slightly illuminating the surroundings.

"Huh? Were these cards bright before?" She was stunned.

Among the seven metal cards in her hand, only two were emitting a light red light.

"It's too bright outside to see, right?"

Xu Ying took out a card with a light red light from Li Wenxi's hand and looked at it carefully: "Maybe the card with the red light has higher authority?"

Li Wenxi handed the other one to Xu Xin's eyes: "Look."

On the card surface, red light flows like liquid.

Just like the red wall they saw when they came in.

"Perhaps, there is a mutual reaction with this console."

Xu Xin glanced at the console and said.

There are no changes to the console at this time.

"You mean, these two metal cards have the authority to control this console?"

Xu Ying said thoughtfully.

"Guess. Perhaps the metal card reacts actively after being close to a controllable device?"

Xu Xin speculated.

"That……"

Li Wenxi held the metal card still glowing red in her hand and backed away slowly.

Xu Xin and Xu Ying knew what she was doing, they were looking at the red card in her hand.

And when she retreated about twenty meters, the metal card in her hand suddenly dimmed.

"It's true!" Li Wenxi whispered in surprise.

Then she quickly took a few steps and approached Xu Xin and Xu Ying.

Being twenty meters away from my companions in this giant alien invader's ship, I always feel so insecure!

"In that case, let's... give it a try?" Xu Ying held the red card in her hand and looked at the "card swiping place".

"Hey!"

Coco was the first to agree.

Xu Xin rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Then let's try it."

He now has great trust in the little guy's choice.

The little guy can always bring him unexpected surprises.

Li Wenxi put away the five cards that were not red: "Then try your card first and swipe it!"

"Okay." Xu Ying didn't waste any time and approached the "card swiping area" with the card.

When the card recorded a distance of about ten centimeters from the card swiping area, the dark red box in the card swiping area slowly lit up.

"Response!"

Xu Ying directly placed the card in the red box.

Immediately, with a slight "buzz" sound, the entire edge of the console lit up in a circle.

And a few of the densely packed buttons on the console suddenly lit up.

Then, there was no reaction at all.

"Um... why are only these buttons lit up?" Li Wenxi looked at the console and asked, "Do you mean these are the only buttons that can be used?"

"It should be." Xu Xin looked at the table, "Maybe this card only has permission to press these three buttons."

Only three buttons light up.

Two lit up with red light, and one lit up with green light.

According to the alien invaders' different understanding of red and green, the green button may be more important.

"Hey!"

Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms.

Xu Xin did not stop it and watched it jump to the table.

Its small body pressed against the unlit keys.

Then, its little paw pressed directly on the green button.

"Coco, you..."

Li Wenxi exclaimed and quickly picked up the little guy.

She was afraid that the little one's body would overwhelm the other buttons.

But in fact, Coco didn't press the buttons that didn't light up at all.

These buttons cannot be pressed.

Instead, the green button was pressed gently with its little paw.

Then, they felt that the metal ground beneath their feet was shaking slightly.

"What... happened?"

The surroundings were quiet, except for the faint sounds of alien invaders coming from outside the previously slid down entrance.

None of the alien invaders have come down to check, even if the cards on them were lost.

But the slight vibration under my feet was real.

"What happened...ah!" Li Wenxi looked at the entrance, "That entrance is going to be closed!"

Xu Xin and the other two also looked over.

The only light source in this space, the entrance to the landslide, is rapidly shrinking!

Around the entrance, countless metal blocks seemed to come alive, rushing towards the entrance passage.

This process was very quiet, with almost no sound. Even the faint voices of the alien invaders outside were much more obvious.

If the only light source hadn't been shrinking, Xu Xin and the others might not have been able to notice it.

And after three seconds, the entrance was completely closed.

The entire space became completely dark.

Fortunately, the three of Xu Xin now have excellent night vision abilities and can still see clearly no matter how dark it is.

"Um... that button just now is just a button that seals this place?"

Li Wenxi looked at the entrance, and then she looked at the console.

She found that the green button on the console had dimmed, leaving only two red buttons still on.

She couldn't even find the dimmed green button.

She turned to look at Xu Ying.

"Yingying, you should be able to take us out, right? Isn't the space also isolated here?"

she couldn't help but ask.

Xu Ying felt it for a while, then shook her head: "No, I can take you up there, don't worry about not being able to get out."

"That's good." Li Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, don't worry about that entrance. Apart from this entrance, there should be no changes in the surrounding area, right?" Xu Xin said.

"No...well...yes." Li Wenxi suddenly changed her words.

Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at her.

Li Wenxi pointed honestly at the surrounding metal monuments with various thorns: "These things seem to have undergone some changes."

"Some changes?"

Xu Xin looked at the nearest metal monument.

"I don't know what the change is. It must be something internal. In short, my ability just felt it."

The three of them looked at each other and immediately walked towards the nearest area.

Next to this metal monument, there is also the body of an alien invader.

In fact, there is a corpse beside every metal monument.

It really looks like a tombstone.

but……

"Look, the scarlet thorns that were originally pierced on this metal monument have been retracted!"

Li Wenxi said in surprise.

Originally, the scarlet thorns on the metal monument were much more prominent than the normal metal-colored thorns.

But now, those red thorns have been withdrawn, and...

It seems to be fading slowly...?

"The color of this pattern will soon become the same as other locations." Xu Ying said with great interest, "What will happen after it becomes the same... won't these thorns come out?!"

"hiss--"

The three of them suddenly felt that it was possible!

"Get behind that console!"

Xu Xin said immediately.

The three people moved quickly and hid behind the console within two seconds.

In this area, this console is the only one that can be used as a cover.

"Huh?" Coco tilted her little head in Xu Xin's arms and called out in confusion.

What Xu Ying guessed did not happen.

The three of them waited for about half a minute, but no spikes came out.

"I'm scaring people..."

Xu Ying couldn't help but poke her head out to see the situation, but Xu Xin held her back.

"Wen Xi, what's going on now?"

Xu Xin grabbed Xu Ying and turned to ask Li Wenxi.

"Nothing has changed...ah! There has been a change!"

Li Wenxi's eyes lit up, and then a flash of surprise flashed through her: "Those stone tablets...are they opened?"

opened?

"Hey!" Coco yelled and struggled twice in Xu Xin's arms.

It seems to be saying, there is no danger, stop hiding here, go out and take a look!

"There should be no danger."

Xu Xin stood up and walked towards the nearest metal monument.

The metal monument...is indeed opened.

Just like the shell of a macadamia nut, there is a gap in the middle.

And this gap is constantly expanding in front of Xu Xin and the others.

And the inside of this metal monument is actually hollow!

The metal monument is more than two meters high, half a meter wide, and thirty to forty centimeters thick.

But the shell of the metal monument covered with thorns is only five centimeters thick.

Therefore, the space inside the metal monument is actually very large.

Maybe it shouldn't be called a metal monument, but...a cabinet?

The three of them looked inside.

The inside is different from the outside. The inside is very smooth, almost like the stairs they slid down.

And there are some objects hanging on this smooth inner wall.

Some of these objects look cold and sharp, some are small prototypes, and some clearly have black muzzles!

"ah!"

Xu Ying exclaimed when she saw those things.

"This is...the weapon of alien invaders!"

She tries to grab an alien invader's gun.

This gun is long in shape and does not have the butt and other structures familiar to humans, because alien invaders do not need it.

They only need to insert these guns into their bodies to use them, so this gun seems to have only one muzzle.

"Really!" Xu Ying put the weapon away and her eyes lit up, "A light weapon for alien invaders!"

"Can this weapon work on scarlet crystal?" Li Wenxi asked.

"Probably not..."

Xu Ying looked over and over again, and finally found a push-button trigger at one end. Then she smiled and said: "But this weapon is different from our weapons. These weapons can kill alien invaders!"

Able to kill alien invaders!

Immediately, Xu Xin and Li Wenxi felt the weight of these weapons!

The pistols, machine guns, etc. they have in their hands now will not cause much damage to the alien invaders, and they can almost recover on their own.

But these weapons do!

Because weapons like this are originally meant to deal with one's own people in war.

The weapons of alien invaders will naturally cause huge damage to alien invaders!

"nice one!"

Xu Xin looked around.

Each of these metal monuments is opened.

There are all kinds of weapons of alien invaders hanging inside!

"Let's loot them all!"

Without further ado, the three of them started to take action quickly.

Xu Xin came to a metal monument, kicked away the alien invader's body on the ground, and put away everything inside.

But then, he looked at the alien invader's body that he had kicked away.

"Ah...I know what these metal tablets are for."

Xu Xin said clearly.

"Huh? What do you do?"

Li Wenxi was packing the weapons in front of the metal monument next to him. Hearing this, she turned to look at him and asked.

"Isn't it a weapons arsenal?"

"Of course not." Xu Xin pointed to the interior space, "If it is just a weapons warehouse, why are there only weapons hanging on the inner walls and there is a huge gap?"

As he spoke, he looked at the dead alien invaders on the ground.

"Ah...you mean..."

Li Wenxi also looked at the corpse under her metal monument.

"This alien invader was originally in this monument?" Xu Ying also reacted.

She looked inside the monument: "This hedgehog metal monument is actually the alien invader's...soldier dormancy?"

The three of them looked at the large area of ​​dead alien invaders on the ground again.

"Then how did they die?"
