Chapter 73 Disaster (Eight More Chapters, Please Subscribe!!! 48)
But... why did all these sacrifices die here?
This is not right.
According to Lu Ming's speculation, the story of the "foreigner" told by Huang Weimin is most likely the root of the mountain god sacrifice incident. The reason why the mountain god collected the sacrifices is because all of them have the Hag.1 gene and alien blood.
According to common sense, since these people have been gathered in the "God's Kingdom" with great effort, no matter what they are treated, they will not be allowed to be killed by vacuum and low temperature, and then put in rows and rows here for exhibition, right?
Is this necessary?
Or... what happened?
Lu Ming recalled more details.
Tall buildings, broken large glass pipes, twisted and deformed machinery...
He raised his head and looked into the distance beside the array of corpses.
Under the shining of the "full moon", above the dim earth, there seemed to be something in the distance.
Lu Ming thought about it, sucked some water from the tube of the space helmet, moistened his dry throat, and forced himself to muster up the courage to move forward.
After walking for several hundred meters, he finally saw what the tall building was.
It was a huge building like a flying saucer in a science fiction movie, and underneath it was supported by a thin pipe with a diameter of no more than ten meters.
But at this moment, the building was obviously damaged. The flying saucer-style building was almost directly missing one-third.
The earth was also full of various debris, including huge pits, unknown machines twisted into a twist, broken originally flat roads, and various broken pipes.
A thought rose from Lu Ming's mind.
Perhaps, a long time ago, this was once a prosperous city. Aliens with big heads and small bodies and thick hair lived peacefully in the air and on the ground of this city.
But accompanied by an unknown disaster - perhaps a war? This city was abandoned. No, it is possible that this planet was abandoned.
The aliens either died or left this planet and abandoned it.
But the mountain god who had been placed on the earth did not know all this.
It still faithfully collects sacrifices day after day and transports them here. But because of the loss of the receiver and the receiving equipment, once the hatch of the spacecraft is opened, the air leaks and the vacuum environment will immediately kill the passengers inside.
If I hadn't put on a space suit in advance, I would have died long ago.
The robot that caught me before may be a surviving robot that still has the "receiving program". Its duty may be to "force" the passengers to leave the spacecraft when they refuse to cooperate and refuse to get off the ship.
Of course, the dead can't get off the ship by themselves. Even if I was still alive, I was reluctant to get off the ship at that time. So this robot clamped all these people - dead or alive, and placed them there in order.
Lu Ming believed that his speculation should be credible.
So...
What should I do next?
The power of the space suit can last for about three days.
Human civilization cannot have the strength to come to this planet.
In fact, Lu Ming couldn't judge his position at this moment. The starry sky here is a completely unfamiliar one, and not a single familiar star can be seen.
Calculated by the technological strength of this super civilization, they have mastered the space transmission technology. In the previous period of time, if they said that the spacecraft had flown hundreds or thousands of light years, Lu Ming would believe it.
Then... his future fate seems to have been doomed.
When the power of the space suit runs out, he will die. He will sleep here with many "ancestors" who also have the Hag.1 gene.
Under the "full moon", Lu Ming's heart is dead.
"Alas..."
With a sigh, Lu Ming dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards the place where he came from.
Perhaps, it is closer to the earth. If he dies there, maybe his soul can still find the direction to go home.
He sat down with his back against a huge rock, adjusted the field of view of the space helmet, looked up at the sky, and slowly waited for the arrival of death.
I don't know how long I waited, but suddenly, Lu Ming saw a huge black shadow.
The black shadow was full of clumsiness and heaviness. It walked past Lu Ming, ignoring him, and went straight to the place where the spaceship had landed before.
It was the robot.
Lu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Robot?
Its duty was to take away those who refused to leave the spaceship.
It had taken him away in this way before.
But now, there was no spaceship landing there.
In a trance, an amazing idea emerged from his mind.
Before, when the hatch of the spaceship opened, the robot stood in front of the hatch.
But later events showed that the robot was not waiting there all the time. After placing the body in the right place, it would walk into the darkness on its own.
This meant that before the hatch of the spaceship opened, the robot had received the relevant signal, and before the hatch opened - even before the spaceship landed, it had already set out to prepare for the mission.
At this moment, it walked there again.
What does this mean? This seems to mean that another spaceship from Earth is about to land.
It's Zhang Dingshan!
Lu Ming instantly recalled the wish he made to the mountain god when he was the sacrifice and Zhang Dingshan was the sacrificer.
"I want to transform myself into the body of a god and go to the kingdom of the gods."
Now, Zhang Dingshan is here on a spaceship!
And... there is a high probability that the spaceship will return. Lu Ming doesn't believe that the mountain god has so many spaceships to use, so many that one is thrown away for every flight mission.
In this case, as long as he finds a way to stay on the spaceship and avoid the cleaning of this robot, he can return to Earth when the spaceship returns!
Lu Ming's heart was full of excitement, and his whole body instantly changed from being weak and powerless to full of strength.
This robot must be stopped, it must be stopped. But it is powerful, and brute force is probably not enough to deal with it.
Then...
By the way, I have a bomb!
The bomb that was prepared to destroy the "spaceship" to prevent me from being sent to the kingdom of God, but was not used!
This bomb has oxygen elements in its molecular structure. Theoretically, it can also be detonated in a vacuum!
Lu Ming hurriedly took out the bomb with adhesive from the outer package of the space suit. Recalling the operation method, he tried his best to chase the robot quickly.
Along the way, Lu Ming stumbled and fell several times. But fortunately, it did not cause any impact on the space suit. Fortunately, the robot was slow and clumsy, so Lu Ming finally caught up with it.
Panting, Lu Ming suddenly stuck the bomb on its leg. In this process, the robot completely ignored Lu Ming.
When the robot walked a little further away, Lu Ming opened the control panel on the arm of the space suit, quickly entered the detonation command, and then pressed the confirmation button hard.
A ball of fire appeared in front of Lu Ming in an instant, but he did not hear any sound.
This is a vacuum, and there is no condition for sound transmission. But he still felt that the earth trembled at this moment.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated. Lu Ming looked forward nervously. Then he saw that the robot had fallen into a pit next to it.
One of its legs was blown off, leaving only one leg still kicking there, but it had no possibility of climbing out of the pit.
Lu Ming let out a long breath.
But before he could calm down completely, he saw that there were some strange lights flashing at the place where the spaceship appeared before, nearly a hundred meters away from him. A moment later, a large metal box like a container appeared in front of him.
Lu Ming's heart was lifted again.
With Zhang Dingshan's character, he would almost certainly come out to investigate when the hatch opened. But once he left, the hatch would close again, and the spaceship would leave here. At that time, both he and Zhang Dingshan would be trapped here!
He ran there quickly regardless of everything. But because of the limitations of the space suit, his so-called running was not much faster than walking.
Under his gaze, he clearly saw that a door slowly appeared on the metal plate of the container.
The gas was released, and under the light, the blue snowflakes appeared again.
A figure stood at the door at this moment.
Judging from his height, it should be Zhang Dingshan.
Lu Ming saw that the man was stunned for a moment at the door, as if he was observing the external environment. Then the glass mask of the astronaut helmet was pointed in his direction.
He seemed to see himself running.
At this moment, the figure raised his legs, as if he wanted to walk out of the cabin and greet him.
Lu Ming was full of anxiety. He was even anxious and red-eyed, and even forgot that this was a vacuum environment and could not transmit sound. He shouted desperately: "Don't come out!
Don't come out!
Stay inside!
Don't come out!"
At this moment, it seemed that a miracle happened. Lu Ming clearly saw that under his roar, the figure stopped abruptly and shrank back.
He stood there, waiting for Lu Ming to arrive. After a difficult journey, Lu Ming finally rushed to the front of the cabin. He rushed into the hatch like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.
With the help of the light inside, he saw the face behind the astronaut helmet.
It was indeed Zhang Dingshan.
He suddenly relaxed and couldn't control his laughter. He laughed so hard that he was out of breath and tears came out.
Zhang Dingshan kept frowning and looking at him.
At this moment, Lu Ming clearly saw that the hatch that had been opened before was slowly closing again, as if because they had not left the ship for a long time.
A slight vibration came from the floor.
