Chapter 709 The Truth About the Severe Cold Season
"No matter how they died, it has nothing to do with us."
Xu Ying no longer paid attention to the corpses of these alien invaders on the ground: "Let's take away all these weapons quickly, there are really a lot of them!"
The three of them acted quickly.
There are a total of one hundred and twenty metal monuments here, with various weapons hanging in them.
The three of them looted all the weapons reserves.
"Sure enough, one hundred and twenty metal monuments are also the corpses of one hundred and twenty alien invaders."
Li Wenxi handed all the weapons to Xu Xin for safekeeping and sighed at the same time.
"You keep a self-defense weapon. This weapon can kill alien invaders."
Xu Xin left a complete set for Li Wenxi.
"Um...I don't know how to use it either." Li Wenxi looked at the weapon in his hand with some confusion, "It feels like it's easy to accidentally misfire..."
...This is indeed a bit dangerous.
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.
She was also looking over and over at the weapon in her hand.
Even at this time, the muzzle of the gun was pointed in Xu Xin's direction.
"Hey, don't point your gun at anyone!"
Black lines suddenly appeared on Xu Xin's forehead.
"Oh...how do you use this thing?" Xu Ying was also a little confused, "Can you just press the button on one end?"
She pointed the gun at the body of an alien invader, and then pressed the button directly!
"Zi——!"
A laser beam about the thickness of a pencil was shot out, punching a hole in the body of the alien invader on the ground!
The body's defense ability of alien invaders is actually not very strong, so the human weapons in Xu Xin's hands can also do such damage.
But the difference is that the hole that was punched through is not all the damage.
The hole that penetrated the alien invader's body was actually burning!
This small hole is filled with red and yellow sparks!
And this spark spread in an instant.
In less than three seconds, the alien invader's body turned into black ash.
Scattered on the ground.
"Wow..." Li Wenxi opened her eyes wide, "Turn into ashes instantly? Is it so powerful?"
"...Is this a weapon that can directly kill alien invaders?" Xu Ying looked at the weapon in her hand and said to herself, "This is the first time I have actually used it. It's really amazing."
"If it were against a living body, it might not have such a strong attack power."
Xu Xin reminded them.
"A living alien invader has a very powerful self-healing ability. I'm afraid it won't turn into black ash in a few seconds like this alien invader's corpse."
"Yeah, but it will definitely leave wounds on the alien invaders that are difficult to heal."
Xu Ying put away the weapon and said: "These wounds will deteriorate faster than the alien invaders' self-healing speed. In other words, if they do not receive treatment after being injured, their injuries will continue to worsen, so even if they It would also be hard to get shot."
"Oh, then...it's similar to how we humans feel when we are shot." Li Wenxi said clearly.
Indeed.
After being shot, the wound will not heal, and will continue to worsen without receiving medical treatment. Just like a human being will bleed to death if the wound is not treated quickly after being shot.
The civil war between alien invaders is indeed equally cruel.
No wonder Monster said before that the civil war between alien invaders on their home planet resulted in the population of alien invaders being wiped out.
With this kind of weapon, it would be too easy for them to kill their fellow humans.
Moreover, this kind of weapon is probably only available here.
Perhaps, precisely because of such a powerful weapon, the leader of the alien invaders was able to use force to suppress those who wanted to rebel.
but……
Why did the alien invader soldiers with such weapons die here?
Judging from the situation here, these metal monuments covered with spikes should be the dormant chambers of these alien invader soldiers.
When something bad happens, these alien invaders sleeping in the dormant chamber will take up weapons, come out of the dormant chamber collectively, and fight with the fullest physical and mental state.
That's why they are so close to the giant ship's hatch.
It is convenient for guarding the giant ship and also for attacking from inside the giant ship.
But now, these guys are all dead inexplicably...
Moreover, they have been in this giant ship for so long and have done so many things...
Trigger the alarm, stun seven alien invaders, steal their key cards, and seal the entrance to the area.
Now the dormant chamber is opened again and all the weapons inside are stolen.
As a result, it has been very quiet inside the giant ship, and nothing happened.
This is really weird...
"You said... there are not many alien invaders left in this giant ship who are dead, right?" Li Wenxi speculated in a low voice, "That's why we made such a big noise, but they didn't react."
"It would be better if that were the case."
Xu Ying didn't care much about this.
She is a little excited now.
Now that we have obtained the conventional light weapons of the alien invaders, there should be more powerful weapons, right?
If you can really succeed...
She walked to the console: "We only pressed the green button just now, and now there are two more buttons that have not been pressed."
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi also walked over.
"The red button? I feel like there shouldn't be any danger. Just press it."
Red is the most normal color for alien invaders.
The red button should not be considered an important button.
Xu Xin reached out directly and pressed one of the lit red buttons.
Xu Ying pressed another one at the same time.
As the ground shook slightly, the surroundings seemed to be changing again.
"Ah, there is a new road on the wall over there." Li Wenxi looked behind the console.
Like the previous metal wall, this wall also began to deform.
Countless metal squares sunk in and spread out, eventually forming an angular doorway.
"There's a road over there too."
Li Wenxi pointed to another wall.
On that wall, a doorway also appeared at this time.
Are these two green buttons actually two roads?
By the way, the "doors" in this giant ship are really interesting. Are they all opened directly from the wall?
"Sister-in-law, do you still have a card that responds to this console?"
Xu Ying said to Li Wenxi.
"Oh yes."
Li Wenxi took out the card and immediately swiped it in the "card swiping area".
Immediately, two more different buttons lit up red.
This time, however, no green button lit up.
They immediately pressed these two buttons.
Immediately, two more door openings opened.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Although there were four door openings, the three of them did not move separately.
Although there is no danger here so far, it is still in the giant ship of the alien invaders sailing the universe.
Splitting up the action here is just like the protagonist team in a horror movie who must split up to explore. It's purely a suicide attempt.
——
"Our mission should be completed soon, right?"
Lou Fei'er raised her arm, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and asked.
"After we finish cutting here, we can call it a day."
Zhao Xiaochuan is still working with the cutter "sssssss".
He was already very skilled in his movements at this time. As long as he drew a circle with his arm, a large piece of scarlet crystal would be cut off by him.
At this time, Zeng Tao got into the secret cave where they were.
"The other holes have already been stuffed with our nuclear weapons. It's not a big problem. These scarlet rays have no effect on our nuclear weapons."
The scarlet ray basically only affects living things. The small mechanical jellyfish used to fly here at will. There may be some impact, but it's not a big problem.
Wen Guixin, Wang Lei and others also got in.
"In other words, if we cut this place and insert nuclear weapons, our mission will basically be completed." Wen Guixin said.
"With four cutters acting together, it can be completed in less than half an hour." Zhao Xiaochuan said without looking back.
"Well..." Lou Fei'er licked her dry lips, "Can Xu Xin and the others... be back within half an hour?"
"It feels quite overwhelming." Qin Fu spread his hands and said, "The giant ship is so big, they have only been out for half an hour, right? In one hour, they can search such a huge ship... I'm afraid it won't be possible. That’s enough.”
"Uh..." Wang Lei scratched his head, "What should we do? After we finish our work, just wait here?"
"Then what else can we do?" Wen Guixin rolled her eyes at him and said a little depressed, "Who else can take us out except Xu Ying? Are we going to detonate these nuclear weapons here and blow ourselves up? Really? …”
"Oh, I should have pestered Xu Xin to go with them..." Lou Fei'er whispered.
"Ah! That's right! We can't get out without Xu Ying!" Zeng Tao finally realized it and became a little anxious, "What should we do? What if... what if something happens to them outside? I can’t get out!”
"If something happens to them, we can only be buried with them." Jin Yue said softly.
"No..." Zeng Tao looked around, "How about I go to that machine and have a look? Maybe we can get out through that machine!"
"You should calm down!" Lou Fei'er patted her on the head, "Who told you that something will happen to them? With Yingying here, they are much safer than us."
"That's what you said."
"Don't worry so much, right?"
At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan, who was cutting, turned back and said.
"Brother Xin said, they will only go out for an hour. Even if there is no delivery, they will be back within an hour."
"So, hurry up and help me cut! With four cutters, the cutting can be completed within half an hour!"
Zhao Xiaochuan said angrily.
"Oh, right." Zeng Tao quickly took the cutter and started cutting.
"Um...Brother Wang Lei, why don't you come? I'm a little dizzy." Qin Fu raised the cutter in his hand towards Wang Lei.
"Okay, it just so happens that I've had enough rest." Wang Lei took the cutter and walked to Zhao Xiaochuan's position.
"I'll do it." Jin Yue took the cutter from Lou Fei'er and started cutting.
The four people were cutting really fast, and the nuclear missile hole in this last area has begun to take shape.
"Xu Xin, please come back quickly."
Wen Guixin sighed and murmured.
"Don't let anything happen."
——
On the other side, Xu Xin and the others have explored all four open cave entrances.
Two of them are small rooms.
There are some facilities in the room similar to beds, tables and chairs, which look like...
Single dormitory for giant ship employees?
There is nothing interesting about these two rooms.
The other two door openings are deeper.
The door openings face different directions, one behind the console and parallel to the front.
One is near the entrance, diagonally downward.
And standing at the hole behind the console, you can actually feel the slightest bit of icy chill coming towards you.
It's like standing in front of an open refrigerator door.
And from the other doorway, waves of sultry air surged outward.
It's like... the nostrils of a wild beast, spitting out hot air as it breathes.
Xu Xin and the others decided to explore the doorway behind the console first.
Since it's behind the console, the location alone seems to be important.
Moreover, rather than continuing to explore downwards, they also want to explore all the places that can be explored on this level first.
They found weapons here!
"Huh..." Li Wenxi put her hand to her mouth and exhaled, "It's really cold here..."
Xu Ying also exhaled a breath of white air and said: "The further you go in, the colder it gets. It should be below zero now."
"Isn't this a big cold storage for alien invaders..." Li Wenxi frowned and rubbed her hands, "Alien invaders store their food here?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xin couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Didn't the monster say that the alien invaders only need to eat the scarlet crystal to sustain their lives?"
"Oh right...then what does this place do?"
"Hey..."
Coco already felt cold and huddled in Xu Xin's arms without wanting to move.
Seeing Coco's reaction, Xu Xin felt that there might not be anything good in it.
The further we go, the colder it gets.
Xu Xing felt that it was already at least forty or fifty degrees below zero!
He and Li Wenxi even took out their warm scarves from the severe winter and put them on.
Xu Ying doesn't have one, but she is related to Li Wenxi.
Coco directly stretched out her little paws, took out a small part of Xu Xin's thermal scarf, and rolled it around her body.
"Hey..."
It gave a comfortable cry, and its little ears twitched twice.
The three of them kept walking forward, passing through the narrow passage, and when their eyes finally opened up, they were all surprised.
"Is this... an ice sculpture of a giant beast?" Li Wenxi looked up at the scene in front of her and murmured.
"This isn't an ice sculpture... it's a real giant beast!" Xu Ying said solemnly, "These giant beasts are still alive!"
In front of the three people, there is a whole piece of giant beast that is completely frozen.
There were their old acquaintances, prehistoric creatures such as Tyrannosaurus rex and pterosaurs, but even more, there were some strange species that they had never seen before!
There is a deformed giant beast whose body is only the size of a football, but has eight legs that are bent like spiders and are at least twenty to thirty meters long.
It has a long body like a snake, but there are three heads on each end of the head and tail of a ten-meter-long "giant python".
There was also a giant hair ball with a diameter of at least nearly 20 meters. Two huge brown eyes were opened on the hair ball, looking in the direction of Xu Xin and the others.
It's a pity that it was frozen. This should only be the way it looked at the moment it was frozen.
"These creatures..."
Xu Xin looked at the only familiar Tyrannosaurus rex and pterosaur, and then looked at other creatures, thoughtfully.
"These creatures are probably giant beasts collected by alien invaders from various planets in the universe."
Xu Ying said what was on his mind.
"Aren't they genetically modified behemoths created by them?" Li Wenxi said in surprise, looking at these strange behemoths, "These things look too weird..."
"Probably not." Xu Xin pointed at the Tyrannosaurus rex and other dinosaurs. "Those creatures really existed on the earth. The alien invaders just resurrected them. I think the same is true for other giant beasts."
"It seems that this should be the giant beast gene extraction room of the alien invaders, right?"
Xu Ying pursed her very dry lips.
Alien invaders hate moisture, and the air where they live is too dry.
Especially since the temperature here is so low, there is almost no gaseous moisture in the air.
If you take a breath here, you will feel the slightest pain in your nose and throat.
This place is very big, very big, with hundreds of giant beasts lined up here.
Each one looks very strange.
If time were not urgent now, Xu Xin would really like to observe these strange giant beasts from other planets for herself.
But not now.
They don't have this time.
"There shouldn't be anything to see here, let's go." Xu Xin said.
"Um...can we go over there and have a look?"
Li Wenxi pointed to the depths of this area.
"Over there? What's there?" Xu Xin looked over there and asked.
"There seems to be a machine running over there."
The machinery is running...
"It should be a refrigeration machine, right?"
Xu Ying exhaled a breath of white air and said, "How else can we maintain such a low temperature here?"
"But... I feel like that machine can be taken away..."
Li Wenxi whispered.
take away?
Now Xu Xin and Xu Ying immediately became interested.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
The three of them immediately walked through the frozen giant beasts and walked towards the location Li Wenxi said.
"Sneeze!"
Cocoa blinked and seemed a little interested in that place, but after sneezing, it retracted its little head and didn't want to move.
The three of them walked to the machine Li Wenxi mentioned.
The machine is not big, just about the size of a stove.
But Xu Xin and the three people who were close to this machine knew that it was this machine that was emitting cold air!
The temperature near this machine is too low!
It feels like it's going to be a hundred degrees below zero!
Warm scarves are useless.
Li Wenxi was already trembling and hugging Xu Xin's arm tightly.
It's too cold!
"Huh..." Xu Ying exhaled a trembling breath, "This...can I take this away?"
"But... you can!" Li Wenxi covered her mouth with a scarf, otherwise she felt that her saliva would be instantly frozen into ice slag, "This thing is not connected to the ground!"
"Then...just take it away."
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, take whatever you can.
Xu Xin thought for a moment, turned the bracelet, and lightly touched the machine with the bracelet.
The moment he touched it, his bracelet was immediately frozen, and at the same time, his entire arm became numb instantly!
Fortunately, the machine was also included in the bracelet at this moment.
"Brother, your arm!" Xu Ying's expression changed.
"Ah!" Li Wenxi looked at his arm that was frozen in an instant, her face turned pale, and she immediately stretched out her hand to pinch him.
Fortunately, he only touched her for a moment and gradually recovered.
"It's okay." Xu Xin waved her arm, which gradually regained consciousness, "This thing can really be taken away."
And it's so easy, with no protection at all.
It seems that the alien invaders never imagined that this thing would be stolen.
"As long as it's okay..." Li Wenxi said with some fear, "Your arm was frozen in an instant, it was like..."
She looked back at the giant ice sculptures.
"If I stay in contact for a long time, maybe this will turn out like that." Xu Xin also looked back and said.
Seeing that Xu Xin was okay, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I thought the cooling here relied on a device similar to an air conditioner. It should be connected to the outside and discharge heat to the outside. I didn't expect it to be this machine that can take away the heat." Caused……"
Xu Xin twirled her bracelet.
He suspected that there might be a super strong refrigerant similar to liquid nitrogen stored inside the machine. Of course, the cooling effect should be much stronger than that of liquid nitrogen.
Otherwise, such a small machine would not be able to cool and freeze such a large space.
"You said that the 'severe cold' activity we had back then..." Li Wenxi suddenly had a sudden idea and said to Xu Xin, "It was your previous activity of climbing the snow-capped mountains. There was a sudden severe winter. Could it be caused by this kind of thing?"
It was a severe winter and the temperature dropped sharply.
Snow was falling heavily, and everyone's treehouses were almost completely covered in snow.
"...It's really possible." Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Maybe it has something to do with the super strong refrigerant that may be present inside the machine.
Just like humans also use dry ice to artificially affect the climate and make rain clouds rain.
It's normal for alien invaders to have ways of influencing the climate.
Maybe it really has something to do with this machine.
However, this is not the time to talk about this yet.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Xu Xin said, "Do you feel that the temperature here is rising?"
The three of them looked at the giant beasts.
Visible to the naked eye, the ice sculptures of some giant beasts began to tremble slightly.
"Come on... they are not dead. The warm-blooded animals among them have awakened and are releasing body heat to increase the temperature here!"
I'm afraid some of them will come back to life soon!
The vitality of the giant beast is really tenacious!
Immediately, Xu Ying grabbed the arms of Xu Xin and Li Wenxi, without further ado, teleported them and disappeared.
In this space, the sound of ice breaking could occasionally be heard.
And the sound of the ice breaking became more frequent as time went by.
Then a low roar began to sound!
The temperature in this area is also getting higher and higher.
Countless earth and alien behemoths are slowly waking up.
"Do you think, if those giant beasts wake up, will they cause trouble?" Li Wenxi pressed the green button that lit up.
This doorway is closed.
"Who knows, maybe I won't be able to get out of that space." Xu Ying said.
"Alien creatures may not be able to breathe the air here." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "However, it would be nice to cause them some trouble."
The three of them have arrived at the entrance of the cave that continues downward.
Waves of hot air were still blowing from the cave.
Below, it was still pitch black.
Nothing can be seen.
It seemed that the lighting system in this giant ship had been destroyed.
"Let's go down."
