Chapter 1049: Keep Your Feet on the Ground and Look up at the Stars

Li Xiuqi suddenly realized.

This reason made him laugh and cry.

But this also fits Matthew's reputation as a playboy in the academic world.

At this time, Miles asked back: "By the way, why did you choose astronomy?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuqi thought for a while and replied: "I saw a sentence when I was a child.

Keep your feet on the ground and look up at the stars.

For us, the universe is mysterious and unknown.

I want to unveil the mysterious veil and unravel the unknown secrets of the universe."

Hearing this, Miles gave Li Xiuqi a thumbs up and sighed.

"Admirable."

While the three were chatting.

The debugging of the portal is nearing completion.

A staff member shouted in the public channel: "Ladies and gentlemen, the debugging of the portal is nearing completion.

Please return to your work and keep order."

For a while, a fierce cheer rang out in the public channel.

Someone shouted: "Our mission will be recorded in the history of civilization!"

"In the history book of civilization, leave your name and mine!"

"Everyone, I suggest that before we go back, we take a group photo with the sun as the background!"

This proposal immediately resonated with everyone.

No one would refuse this proposal.

So, hundreds of people who participated in this mission gathered together.

They turned their backs to the sun.

The sun was dim, but still shocking.

"Kacha~"

This scene was instantly frozen.

After the group photo was taken, everyone walked towards their original work positions.

The group photo had been transferred to each of their laptops.

What they had to do next was to wait for the portal to open, and then return to human society to enjoy the applause and glory that greeted them.

Time passed slowly, and another ten minutes passed.

At this time, there was only one minute left before the scheduled one hour.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the portal opening, something strange happened.

A strong resentment appeared out of thin air around them.

That resentment was mixed with a lot of malice.

At this moment, time seemed to be frozen because of the low temperature.

The staff member who was debugging the closest to the portal was suddenly startled.

His body was shaking violently.

Two seconds later, the transparent mask covering his face turned blood red.

His head was blown into pieces.

The heat-insulating suit still stood in place relying on the internal skeleton.

But the flesh and blood body protected in it had turned into a pool of thick blood mixed with broken pieces of meat.

This scene was like a domino falling.

Behind him, the people protected by the heat-insulating suits began to self-destruct rhythmically.

Li Xiuqi's work station was far away from the portal.

At this time, he was standing under a mechanical arm.

Because the heat-insulating suits were still standing in place, he did not notice the abnormality in front of him.

However, a second later, Matthew's terrified voice sounded in the private communication channel established by him, Miles and Matthew.

"What the hell is that?"

Hearing this, Milegos turned around and checked it out.

On the dim sun behind them, an extremely huge eye was staring at them.

The pupil of that eye alone was as big as an asteroid.

The pupil contained negative emotions that could not be described in words.

Endless malice attacked him.

A voice close to madness rang in his ears.

"Alfred..."

The next second, Milegos' eyes exploded.

Dark blood gushed out of his empty eye sockets and splashed onto the mask.

Beside him, Matthew was the same.

Matthew was at the control console of the mechanical arm at this time.

Under the mask, his facial expression was extremely distorted.

A tentacle came out of his mouth.

Blood dripped slowly along the wrinkles on his face, mixed with fragments of the exploded eyeball and black unknown liquid.

He roared in the private chat channel: "Li! Don't look back! Don't look back!"

Hearing this almost crazy roar, Li Xiuqi's body shook.

He wanted to look back to see what happened.

But his body instinctively told him not to look back.

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his waist.

Then, his body flew towards the portal in front at a very fast speed.

On the other side.

Matthew retracted his hand on the joystick of the mechanical arm.

Then he carefully groped around his body.

Finally, his hand reached into the space interlayer of the heat-insulating suit.

He took out the paper with Li Xiuqi's signature and gently put it on his mask.

"Melgos...are you...ok?"

But the response to him...was a roar like a beast.

At this time, Matthew could not see anything because he had lost his eyes.

The tentacle that stretched out from his mouth was like a tongue, licking the mask that isolated Matthew from the vacuum.

"I told you...those damned stone lumps...how can they compare to a woman's soft breasts...beautiful.

Champagne...swimming pool...bikini...

Hehe...hehehe~"

At this time, Matthew was completely polluted.

He let out an unconscious weird laugh.

These bursts of laughter echoed in the communication channel belonging to the three of them.

…………

On the other side.

In Li Xiuqi's sight, the twisted door emitting white light continued to enlarge.

In his private communication channel, Matthew's almost crazy voice sounded.

This channel is a private channel for receiving work instructions.

In addition to the person in charge of command, generally no one will contact others through this channel.

Because this channel needs to be kept silent at all times.

Even if you want to chat with others, you have to switch to a channel with no one.

At this time, in the silent communication channel.

Matthew's almost crazy voice kept repeating.

"Li...good luck!"

Good luck to you...!

…………

In the present world.

The warden waiting in front of the portal received a call.

The call was made directly by the doctor through the communication station.

After answering the phone, the warden heard the doctor's low panting.

"Teacher... He... has returned."

Hearing this, the warden's pupils shrank suddenly.

He seemed to have lost all his strength.

He couldn't even hold the phone steadily.

The phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

This action also attracted the attention of Anti next to him.

"What's wrong?"
