Even though he was complaining in his heart, Tony still had some sense.
He also knew that the situation he thought of was impossible to happen.
Being able to send yourself and others to the moon is already the result of devoting a lot of resources.
Something like Star Troopers is simply impossible.
That's something that's only seen in movies. With Aquablue Star's current technology, it's still not up to that level.
After briefly disposing of their companion's body, the two of them wiped away the blood stains around them and completed the final data upload at the same time.
At this point, they have done everything they should do, and the rest is just left to fate.
"I originally thought that the large army of insects was about to kill us... Fortunately, they didn't seem to notice us immediately. It seems that this newly born larva has not yet been linked to the mental network of the insect swarm... "
"Otherwise, when it sees us, the bug on the new Apollo 1 side will also know our existence."
In the room, Ottos said happily.
He and Tony had already put on their spacesuits at this time, and would go out to dismantle certain structures of the base and restore them to their original appearance.
The lunar base itself is expanded with vehicles as the main body, which means that it can be moved.
Although the movement speed is very slow, if the bug comes, the two still want to start the vehicle and try to escape, making a final struggle.
After all, no one wants to die if they can live, let alone wait for death without doing anything.
"Othos, you seem to know them very well. What do you mean by the spiritual network of the swarm?"
Tony asked curiously.
"It's beyond understanding. We have encountered these monsters before, so we have done some research on them. The so-called mental network is actually what we often call the hive mind, just like bees and ants..."
"Hive mind..."
Tony also broke into a cold sweat in an instant, and a strong sense of fear hit his heart.
Fortunately, this larva was not connected to other insect swarms, otherwise the two of them would have been completely cold by this time.
"But...Odell has always been with us. When was he parasitized...?"
Safety guard Ottos also showed a puzzled expression. This question is something he has not figured out until now.
After Tony pondered for a moment, he gave the answer.
"It's the vent. When the new Apollo 1 landed, we detected a blockage in the vent. At that time, I asked Odell to check it, but nothing abnormal was found. Maybe he was... at that time... …”
He sighed at this point and did not continue.
Ottos followed the silence, and the two stopped talking with a tacit understanding.
After cleaning up, they reported the situation here to the Aerospace Center, then opened the valve and walked out, starting to dismantle the base vehicle.
It was obviously just erected yesterday, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it had to be demolished again the next day if necessary.
The two of them got busy together. In this airless environment, everything around them seemed so weird and quiet.
In space, there is endless coldness and darkness.
Coupled with the current situation, Tony and Ottos feel like they have been abandoned by the whole world.
This is the far side of the moon. They can't even take a final look at their home planet. They can only wait in this loneliness for their fate to be pronounced.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook a few times, and gravel shook around it, as if something was approaching quickly from the ground.
Seeing this scene, the two people who were still packing their things suddenly became alert.
They looked at each other, and even through the thick spacesuit hoods, they seemed to be able to clearly see the frightened expression on each other's faces.
"They're coming!"
Saying this almost in unison, the two hurriedly dropped what they were holding, turned around and ran towards the entrance valve of the base vehicle.
Just now I was glad that I had not been discovered by the insect swarm, but in the blink of an eye, those guys had already come to my door.
"What to do now! Area B has not been connected yet, and it contains our only supplies!"
"Don't worry about that! Start the vehicle quickly! We have to leave immediately! Those bugs may appear at any time!"
Ottos glanced at the land outside through the window. The tremors there became more and more obvious, as if countless insects would emerge from it in the next second.
Gritting his teeth, he no longer cared whether the base vehicle had finished shrinking, increased the speed to the maximum, and started driving in the opposite direction to where the new Apollo 1 was.
The speed of the base vehicle is not fast, it can only be slightly better than the lunar rover.
Considering that there are many loads that are not carried, the speed is slightly faster than expected, but it is still limited.
After all, when this thing was first built, it was intended to be deployed as a base, and the use environment was a place like the moon, so it was impossible to be too fast.
Now, even though it has been developed in advance, in the eyes of the two of them, the speed of this base vehicle is really no different from a turtle speed.
The bugs behind had already emerged from the ground, but they had only driven less than three hundred meters. It was impossible to escape at this speed.
"Turn! Turn! Ahead is the magnetic field chaos area of Longinus! We will most likely stall there!"
Tony couldn't help shouting anxiously when he saw the direction Ottos was driving.
But there was no way. There were insects on the left, right and behind, so they had no choice but to retreat here.
"They're already here! They can't turn now! Fight!!"
Ottos gritted his teeth and activated the autopilot mode, then got out of the driving seat and picked up his machine gun.
"What are you going to do!"
Tony saw this and hurriedly wanted to step forward to control the base vehicle, but was stopped by the other party.
"Take this and prepare to fight!"
Ottos threw him the same machine gun and motioned for him to fight the enemy with him.
But Tony's space suit is different from Otto's battle costume.
His is a standard aerospace space suit, the kind that is white and fat, very bulky.
Even if he finally managed to pick up the heavy machine gun, the design of his space suit also meant that he could not effectively pull the trigger to fight the enemy, and could only stand behind him with a look of confusion.
How could Otto care about him at this time? He was observing the situation outside through the glass of the base vehicle. The swarms of insects were running very fast and had caught up with them in an instant.
"Boom!"
A dull crash sounded from the rear hatch, followed by a series of identical sounds.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong!"
The sound came from all directions, and the entire base vehicle began to shake, and it felt like it would tip over at any time.
The two people in the car were horrified, and their hearts were beating fast.
They have never been so nervous as they are now.
The surrounding titanium alloy walls have been severely deformed, as if countless ferocious monsters will rush in and eat them at the next moment.
"Bah!"
The sound of metal being torn was heard, a black sickle slashed through the wall, and a sickle bug rushed in.
Perhaps the signal transmission equipment was damaged, and the picture that everyone at the NASA Aerospace Center could see could only stay at this moment.
Looking at the frozen black insect beast, everyone was speechless. The environment was too depressing.
The despair experienced by the two people in the car made them feel the same way as they watched the live broadcast.
Lu En had returned to the command center at this time. Looking at this video, his heart felt like a knife.
Not only because the lunar project he and Professor Houston established had completely failed, but also because Ottos was his former subordinate and had a deep comradeship. Now that he learned about his death, he felt sad for a while.
"Is it still too late..."
Lu En sighed secretly, feeling very guilty in his heart.
Just now, he left the command hall and went to his own private plane, where he contacted a person on the other side of Aquamarine through a special communication device.
This person is none other than the minister of the Irregularity Department, Hu Hu.
The two are both responsible for handling abnormal events in their respective countries. Although they do not communicate frequently on weekdays, they also maintain certain contact information with each other.
Previously, Rune had obtained and shared certain information about alien species from the other party through this method.
And the reason why he took the initiative to contact the other party at this time did not mean that he thought that the Foreign Ministry had the strength to solve the crisis they encountered on the moon.
Even though they were both major powers on the Aquamarine Star and were further ahead in the extraordinary realm than themselves, Lu En did not feel that they had the ability to land on the moon for rescue.
His main goal is still the mysterious organization that maintains close ties with the other party - the Star Alliance.
One thing that Lu En has always regretted is that he has not established contact with the Covenant that controls the mysterious and extraordinary power.
He only learned some relevant information about alien species through the transmission from the Alien Department, which made him feel very passive.
Fortunately, Hu Hu quickly agreed after receiving his request, saying that he could tell the Star Alliance about the matter.
But he could not guarantee whether the other party would agree to the rescue and whether the rescue would be successful.
Hu Hu's decisive agreement was already within Lu En's expectation.
Although this time's moon landing plan is hidden, it involves a huge amount of work after all. It is impossible to maintain absolute confidentiality, just like the Manhattan Project back then.
Moreover, both Lu En and Hu Hu knew that this moon landing plan was of great importance.
Because its purpose is to explore the transcendent.
Therefore, the vast majority of participants in this plan support the "heterogeneous information sharing plan".
If there is irreparable damage to the moon landing plan this time, then the group of people who support the moon landing plan will be attacked by the opposition, which will directly affect the signing of the "Xenogeneic Information Sharing Plan".
I believe that the Department of Irregularity is not willing to see such a scene.
Therefore, at this critical moment, Lu En immediately thought of Hu Hu, an ally who was not an ally.
Fortunately, the result was also pleasing to him, and the other party agreed to his request as expected.
But this is actually just the beginning.
Even with the help of the Covenant, it does not mean that the survivors of the new Apollo team can be saved.
After all, what happened this time was too sudden, and it was on the moon. Even the Star Alliance might not be able to succeed.
Although the other party possesses incredible extraordinary power, he has also demonstrated unparalleled strength.
But that is outer space, a restricted area of life that humans cannot touch.
Who can guarantee that the other party can complete the rescue in this environment?
However, at this time, Lu En could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Such a huge amount of manpower and material resources had been invested, but the new Apollo team had only landed on the moon for two days and had not brought back any valuable intelligence.
If it were destroyed like this, it would be a huge blow to people like myself.
The "Alien Information Sharing Plan" that was originally decided to be signed may also be directly canceled due to this incident.
If it weren't for the existence of the Covenant that showed its ability to crush the Zerg in the previous battle, and if it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way, Rune would not have rashly contacted the Abnormality Department.
But now, when he returned to the command hall and saw the ferocious black insect on the big screen, he knew that he was still a step too late.
There are not so many miracles in this world, and these people may have been submerged by the insect tide now.
Even if people from the Covenant Alliance can arrive now, it is already too late. The New Apollo Project and the Longinus Project have completely failed. As the director of the Hurricane Bureau, I may not be able to continue my job.
But surprisingly, Lu En was not as unacceptable as he imagined. Instead, he felt relieved.
The director was under too much pressure. Not only did he need to intercept and contain those alien species, but he also needed to participate in the conspiracy calculations of those politicians. He was really fed up.
It was clear that the crisis was right in front of them, and the threat of alien species was clearly imminent, but those people still couldn't see the situation clearly.
Even the most basic cooperation cannot be achieved, resulting in the delay in signing the heterogeneous information sharing plan.
Of course, maybe it's not that they can't see the situation clearly, they just can't bear to part with their ridiculous interests.
Maybe they will feel regret when the destruction really comes, but at that time, will regret be useful?
If heterogeneous information sharing could be achieved earlier, he would not be in such a passive situation now.
Rune shook his head.
He was just a little unwilling. He wanted to kill the enemy, but he was unable to save his life.
It's just that it's useless to think about it now.
He needs to tell several other supporters about this first, at least to let them prepare how to deal with the collapse of the plan.
