Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 25 Shelter No. 61
When everyone walked into the huge dome ecosystem, what they saw was not a paradise compared to the outside industrial waste gas and wastewater flow, but more like another hell on earth.

At the entrance and exit of the dome ecosystem, although a long time has passed, it is still vaguely visible that an extremely fierce battle broke out here.

The land has been covered with a thick layer of mud-like stuff with dried blood. People are walking in the "quagmire" with one foot deep and one foot shallow. From time to time, some people bump into the half-weathered humanoid skeletons.

"Are we really going to move on?"

Someone asked Su Lixuan in a low voice.

Su Lixuan looked around, and finally looked at the endless robot city behind him.

On the periphery of the dome ecosystem are countless robots assembled from high-strength alloys.

They are different from the robots currently used by the Earth United Nations. The Earth United Nations uses them as tools, but on the other side, these robots are more like giving instructions to themselves.

They have no specific mission, or they have their own lives outside of the mission.

This is a society of robots.

Between the dome ecosystem and the robot society, there is a strong fortress line of defense.

Although the defense line faces the outside, it looks like a group of robots holding weapons to defend the ecosystem, fulfilling their original intention of building a sanctuary for intelligent organisms.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the ecosystem in front of them has collapsed by itself.

After all, things like the ecosystem have a lifespan, because the ecosystem is a chaotic system. A small data error will cause the entire ecosystem to gradually collapse at a slow rate.

At the beginning of the design, it may be hundreds of years at most, but this is obviously not built hundreds of years ago, at least tens of thousands of years, which is still a conservative estimate.

However, it is such a collapsed ecosystem. These robots are forcing them the most. They are not allowed to go out and must stay here. It is more like a kind of murder than protection.

Obviously, a war between intelligent organisms and robots once broke out at the entrance and exit of this ecosystem.

But the outcome of the war is no longer important to everyone now.

The important thing is that they are now imprisoned.

"Go ahead..."

After saying this, Su Lixuan suddenly felt a few years older.

Everyone, fully armed, entered this city that had been abandoned for who knows how long.

No one knew what was inside, but fortunately the robots did not confiscate their weapons.

Perhaps in their eyes, intelligent organisms are still the targets of their protection, and there is no reason to confiscate their weapons.

Walking in such a dilapidated city, everyone feels at ease with weapons. At least they have the strength to resist when dealing with special situations.

From time to time in the dilapidated city streets, there are mice-like mammals jumping around in the corners, looking at everyone curiously, and then leaving in groups.

"There are so many rats here. Sure enough, in such a dead place, only super-tough creatures like rats can survive."

"It's just like a mouse. In such a harsh environment, our pampered mice would die within a few months."

Everyone was chatting, suddenly.

"Who's there!"

Liu Wenhan raised his gun and pointed it in one direction.

But Qin Xu raised his hand to stop the muzzle of his gun and slowly pressed down the muzzle.

Everyone was puzzled, and soon a little head poked out from behind the wall.

"God..."

For a moment everyone was confused and stunned.

What's this?Who can tell them what the human cub in front of them is.

"Impossible, how is this possible? There are various combinations of genes, and the changes in appearance caused by them are almost endless. How can there be humanoid creatures that look almost exactly like us?"

This sentence came from the mouth of a biologist, but it is the voice of everyone at this moment.

The little girl with messy hair and dirty clothes glanced at them, then quickly looked back and ran out.

"Catch up, catch up with her. I need to figure out what's going on, I don't believe in such a coincidence in biology!" Aliens that look like humans are not saying that they cannot exist, but that No matter what, there will be a limit, and the people of the tribe will recognize it at once.

People from country Z and people from country M can be recognized at a glance.

The gap between alien creatures and Earthlings will only grow wider.

Almost every biologist does not believe that this possibility exists for aliens that are almost impossible to recognize as aliens if they are thrown into the United Nations.

They need to figure out why, this is more important than their lives right now.

There are mostly scientists in the scientific research team, or almost all of them. When they saw something impossible, everyone rushed forward, regardless of whether it was a trap or something.

When everyone went up, Qin Xu did not follow immediately, but stood there and thought about something.

Chen Xiaomeng saw that Qin Xu didn't move, so he followed Qin Xu and stood there.

Wang Xueer originally wanted to follow, but Chen Xiaomeng didn't move and came back after taking two steps.

But she had many more doubts than Chen Xiaomeng.

Chen Xiaomengzi knew that as long as she stood by Qin Xu's side, she would be safe.

Wang Xueer didn't know. She went up and patted Qin Xu, who seemed to be in a daze, and said, "Xiao Xuxu, what are you doing? Everyone has gone. It will be very dangerous for us here. It would be better to follow the large army... "

With that said, Wang Xueer added another sentence.

"And I also want to know why..."

In fact, Wang Xueer couldn't hold back her excitement. After all, strictly speaking, she was also an expert in biology.

"Do you think it's a trap?"

Chen Xiaomeng said after thinking carefully.

"Not really. It's just that when I saw her, I suddenly thought of a possibility. This possibility shocked me, so I was stunned for a while."

"Ah? What are you talking about? Since there is nothing wrong, then hurry up and follow us. We are lagging behind now. If something happens soon, it will be too late for them to help us."

Wang Xueer said angrily.

"Row."

With that said, Qin Xu took Chen Xiaomeng and walked another way.

"Oh, you!"

Wang Xueer was speechless. One second she said yes, and the next second she left on her own. What about following the army as promised?

Wang Xueer shook her head and ignored Qin Xu and Chen Xiaomeng, running up to follow Su Lixuan.

"Ah, uh uh uh..."

Just as she was about to start running, Chen Xiaomengzi hugged her from behind and covered her mouth. Regardless of her struggle, she was dragged towards Qin Xu.

……

In the end, Su Lixuan was chased back and forth by the little girl. After running around for a long time, he finally caught up to where Qin Xu was.

"This little girl is quite vigilant, and she actually led us around in circles."

"Huhu, we are so exhausted. We are scientific researchers, not soldiers. Running with so many weapons is really killing us."

"Stop complaining at this time, she's still a little girl."

"Eh? Qin Xu, why are you in front of us?"

Someone in the crowd wondered.

Qin Xu didn't answer him, but stretched out his hand to block her at a corner. The next second, a little girl rushed over, and was grabbed by him and lifted up by her collar.

The little girl was caught suddenly, startled, frantically slapped and kicked Qin Xu in front of her.

But Qin Xu's hand held onto hers and remained motionless like a welded steel bar.
