The legend of Tiga

It was bright red and pink, with a few small spots on the top, like gems and diamonds. It looked very beautiful, but it made Yumimura's eyes widen. He stood there in a daze, forgetting to breathe, and a strong feeling of suffocation came over him.

this.
this.
how
how come?
Yumimura's breathing became rapid, like a bellows, but he could not relieve the dizziness in his brain.

"Shin Shinjo-senpai!"

Yumimura finally shouted out loud, and Shinjo, who was walking in front, heard the shout. He turned around and saw Yumimura's horrified look. He immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you too tired? Why don't you take a rest for a while?"

The movement behind also made the two people in front stop. They turned around and saw Xincheng turning his head, and the wobbly, pencil-sized bulge on his neck.

"Ah, Shinjo-senpai, you... your neck!!!"

Asuka Shin, who was outspoken, blurted out the answer, and then realized what it meant. His excitement about meeting Hanajiro quickly cooled down and he slid into a terrible abyss, so that the tone of the second half of his words became low: "No, I must have seen it wrong, um, I saw it wrong."

"My neck? What's wrong?" Xincheng subconsciously reached out to touch it, and his knuckles touched something soft and sticky, and this shape
Xincheng's face changed instantly, and his movements became stiff. He stood there at a loss for a long time. He seemed to want to laugh, but his mouth moved, and the muscles on his face were so stiff that he couldn't force out even the slightest smile. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but his tongue was out of control and he couldn't even make a "aba aba" sound.

Dead silence.

"I'll take you back to headquarters. The medical department will be able to find a way."

Chiba Makoto was the first to break the silence and proposed an idea, which was to send Xincheng back to Earth and then use TPC's powerful manpower and material resources to find a way to treat the disease.

"Thank you, but... let's not take such a risk." Xincheng smiled sadly, turned around, looked in the direction he came from, and stared at the place where the Los III landed for a long time, and said: "I am the captain, destined to stay with the crew and the spacecraft, so let me stay here."

"Senior Shinjo, you just started to show symptoms, how can you just give up? There must be a way." Asuka Shin was immediately anxious. How could such a big person, who was just talking and laughing, suddenly want to...
Give up?

"It's too late," Shinjo shook his head, took a long breath, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, "It's been less than ten hours since Ito and Matsuda showed symptoms and their bodies were covered with mushrooms. What can be done in such a short time?"

Although TPC has advanced technology and a large number of scientific researchers, this disease, in which mushrooms grow all over the body when infected, has never appeared before. It is an absolutely new disease and it is an alien pathogen, which may be completely different from that on Earth. It will not be possible to treat it in a short period of time.

"What's the point of giving up now? Even if there's no cure, we can still freeze you and use you as a research sample. If we run into this kind of situation again, we'll always be able to deal with it," Qianye Cheng stepped forward and said, "Humanity will go to more planets, and we'll encounter alien viruses, bacteria, and all kinds of weird things.

, these problems must always be faced and will always be solved.

Do you want to give up now and let yourself perish, or use this broken body to make a final contribution to mankind?"

"You," Xincheng said with a wry smile, "are you being so rational?"

"Because we haven't reached a point of true despair yet. There will always be a way. If the problem cannot be solved on Earth, we can still go to the Kingdom of Light to find a solution. Guang might be very interested in a case like yours."

"A Guang? Who is that?"

“A very good scientist.”

"Like Horii?"

"better."

While Chiba Makoto was using a relaxed tone to soothe Shinjo's emotions, Hanajiro flew over silently without flapping his wings, hovered above Shinjo's head, and then his eyes suddenly emitted light, shining on Shinjo like a flashlight, covering Shinjo.

"What is it doing?" Yumimura shouted immediately, and his hand reached for the Brest pistol at his waist. However, because the other party had been "harmless" all the way, Yumimura did not draw the gun directly, but just pressed on the handle of the gun so that he could take out the Brest pistol at any time.

"Check?" Asuka Shinya looked at the furry little thing a little nervously, fearing that this creature, whom he had a good impression of and thought was a kind creature, would do something bad and make his trust go to waste.

Before they could come to a conclusion, the result had already come out. The most obvious thing was that the mushroom on the back of Xincheng's neck withered rapidly, then peeled off from the skin and fell off.

Then Hanajiro's eyes stopped emitting light, and he flew towards Asuka Shin, wagging his tail, and landed on Asuka Shin's shoulder again, with his head lying down, looking a little listless, as if he was over-exhausted.

"I... this is..." Xincheng touched his neck up and down, left and right, but felt nothing. The skin was not that smooth, but there were no bumps or scars. He said uncertainly, "Is it healing me?"

"It seems to be like this," Chiba Makoto stared at Hanaijiro who was lying on Asuka Shin's shoulder. A bold idea came to his mind, and he said, "Do you think it could be the killer weapon that the aliens use to reverse the war?"

"Ugh?!"

All three of them were startled and focused their eyes on the tiny Hanajiro. He was not much bigger than a cat and looked very weak. He definitely couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or hands. But what about the monsters? Any one of them could be dozens of meters tall and weigh tens of thousands of tons. How could it decide the outcome of the war?

Xincheng's brain worked the fastest, and he said as if he had suddenly realized something: "It can treat spore viruses."

"Spore virus, let's call this mushroom for now." Qianye Cheng said casually, then raised his hand and pointed forward, saying: "Look, the wreckage of these monsters is not close to the core area, which means that those aliens actually used spaceships to block these monsters. Although the damage is great, it also shows that their spaceships have strong firepower. Why did all the spaceships crash in the end?"

Chiba Makoto's question made everyone think, and Yumimura Ryo was the first to answer, saying, "Could they be infected too?"

"We can't rule out this possibility. Tangible weapons can be seen and precautions can be taken immediately, but invisible biological pathogens will not be detected until they spread. Biological weapons are not just huge monsters, there are also tiny viruses." Chiba Makoto thought of the demon fragments, which originated from Belia's body fragments and scattered in the universe in the form of cells. They can make monsters ferocious and can also play a role in strengthening monsters, leaving the Kingdom of Light helpless and can only respond passively.

This is also a biological weapon. The biological weapon left behind after Belia's death spreads among monsters like a virus, making the Kingdom of Light exhausted in dealing with monsters infected with "devil fragments", not to mention that there are aliens who are spreading and searching for devil fragments for various purposes, making it even more difficult to eradicate.

Although it would make Belia very uncomfortable, the fact is that the fragments scattered after its death would be greater and longer-lasting than the impact it caused when it was alive.

It is not difficult to imagine that when the aliens discovered that the spore virus was spreading among the group, they were terrified and hurriedly began research and created an "antidote" in the camp. The monsters took the opportunity to launch an attack, trying to prevent the aliens from obtaining the "antidote". In order to keep the "antidote", the aliens tried their best to obstruct the monsters' attack, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

In the end, the monsters were completely destroyed, but when the monsters were blown to pieces, the large number of spore viruses released also spread during the fierce battle, infecting the aliens on a large scale, and eventually plunging the newly victorious aliens into the abyss of extinction.

As for why Hanajiro was able to appear, it is probably because the intelligent program left by the aliens was still running, and eventually the "antidote" was produced, but no one needed treatment anymore.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Xincheng took the lead and walked towards the largest spaceship in the center, wanting to see if this was really the case.

He didn't know how he felt. Should he feel lucky to have survived the disaster?
But he couldn't be happy when he thought of the crew members who died of the same disease.

Moreover, there was a feeling of resentment in his heart, which seemed to be directed at Hanajiro. Why didn't he show up earlier? If he had come earlier, Ito, Matsuda and Taguchi would not have died in pain and struggle.

Although Xincheng knew that he shouldn't think like this, since the other person saved him, he should be grateful and shouldn't blame the other person for not doing better or more, but he just couldn't control his thoughts.

Therefore, Xincheng didn't dare to look at Hanajiro for a while. He could only walk away hurriedly and walk in front with his head down, so as not to see Hanajiro and have those inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

"Let's go!"

The team started moving again, but this time everyone was traveling in silence, because everyone realized that although Hanajiro could not be blamed for the death of the crew of the Lomus III, Shinjo's emotions still had to be taken care of, so they reduced their presence so that Shinjo's emotions would pass as soon as possible.

Wangshan is a dead horse.

It looked close, but it took me a long time to finally reach my destination.

A huge spaceship comparable to a county town.

If you stand next to it, you need to look up to see its top, and as for the edge, you can only see a vague border by looking out.

It is not difficult to imagine how stunning it must be when it soars in the sky.

But now it was lying on the ground in a mess, with cracks big enough for cars to drive on, revealing countless broken pipes inside, and it was badly damaged.

"What on earth happened?"

Asuka Xin exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. The Victory Eagle had fallen more than once or twice, but it had never been damaged so badly. However, the spaceship in front of him was basically scrapped.

After entering it, I probably found the reason.

Because the spaceship was full of vines and roots, so dense that they almost filled the passage, you could see how many vines had poured in. In other words, after the spaceship crashed, the vines outside drilled through the outer shell and rushed in, and the number of vines that drilled in was increasing, making the gap bigger and bigger, and finally it became like this.

However, these vines and roots that were full of life outside were withered and shriveled here. A large piece of them would be broken off if hit with a stone. They had no toughness at all. If you set a fire on them, they would probably catch fire.

There is no need to find the way, just look at the direction in which these vines extend, and you will know where the "antidote" is produced. The further in you go, the more seriously the vines become decayed, to the point where they will crumble if touched and break if blown. After walking more than a thousand meters in, all the vines disappear. It is obvious that it is not that the vines do not rush in, but that the vines that rush in have all turned to ashes, which can be seen from the thick layer of black mud under the feet.

The vines rushed in, but inexplicably turned to ashes.

At the end of this dusty road is a door, a tightly closed door, which means that the vines did not break through the door, or in other words, when they rushed to the door, the "antidote" took effect and cured the spore virus, turning the vines full of spore virus into ashes.

However, judging from the existence of the vines outside, the effect of the "antidote" did not live up to expectations. It only worked in this area and did not eliminate the spore virus on the entire planet.

"This door." Xincheng went forward and knocked on the door. Judging from the feedback, the thickness was quite impressive. He said, "Let's see if we can blow it open."

But before anyone could respond to him, Hanajiro on Asuka Shin's shoulder raised his head, his eyes radiating light, and then the door slowly opened.

".It seems we have brought the key." Xincheng smiled, then immediately turned his head and looked at the room behind the door. He saw that it was full of instruments and equipment. The atmosphere of the laboratory was full, but these equipment had been stopped for a long time, and a thin layer of dust accumulated on the surface.

Even though it is highly sealed and dust-resistant, so much dust has still accumulated. It is obvious that this place has not been cleaned for a long time.

Among these devices, there was a culture dish with a big hole in it. The liquid inside had long since leaked out, but the surrounding instruments and equipment were all connected to it by wires and pipes. It was obviously the core of this laboratory.

As for the size.
Everyone glanced at Hanaijiro, and it was indeed suitable for him, which meant that he came out from here, which meant that those aliens actually succeeded, but it was too late, everything was over, and only Hanaijiro came out from inside, but there was no one to cure him, and there was no poison to treat him.
