Chapter 4: The Contract of Unknown Identity! Worker Bees Attack!
"Aim at the asteroid ahead and launch the expansion net!"
"Voiceprint recognition passed, expansion net launched." The base's synthesized voice sounded.
As Duan Ming got closer and closer, he found that the space capsule was about to hit an asteroid about 80 meters long, and the Fire Rock Beast was not fast, and it might be dead by the time it got there.
It was impossible to aim at the space capsule at this position, so he could only catch the asteroid first!
So he decisively launched the expansion net, hoping to pull the asteroid and the space capsule apart.
Success!
The highly sticky adhesive on the expansion net firmly stuck to the asteroid, and the Fire Rock Beast also used this power to accelerate forward, getting closer and closer to the asteroid.
Closer! Closer!
But after the space capsule brushed past the asteroid, it drifted in another direction, and it was about to get farther and farther away. Duan Ming gritted his teeth, and when would he use the resources if he didn't need them now? He hurriedly said: "Aim at the unknown space capsule and launch the expansion net!"
"Voiceprint recognition passed, expansion net launched."
A new expansion net was sent out again, firmly sticking to the space capsule.
Now the Fire Rock Beast is like a hero who is holding a beautiful woman with one hand on the edge of a cliff and the other hand holding a beautiful woman!
However, this hero is actually Duan Ming!
…
Slowly falling into the air cover of the development base, the beauty in the space capsule is clearly visible, but her body is wrapped in armor-like scales, and the inside cannot be seen clearly.
The space capsule is not fragile. Duan Ming tried his best but failed to dismantle it from the outside, but he did not dare to dismantle it in a more brutal way, so he had to leave the space capsule there.
"Damn... I don't know if this green life-support liquid is the latest model of good stuff, or it is the CK-type universal life-support liquid that has deteriorated."
Duan Ming is very worried.
If it is the former, then he doesn't need to worry, and wait for the development base to be further built before thinking of a way.
But if it is the latter, then he must rescue the beauty as soon as possible, otherwise she will face the risk of death at any time!
He dare not gamble!
In a hurry, he thought: if the space capsule falls on the ground, can it also be considered a building?
"Fire Rock Beast, change the target of the building link skill and control the space capsule!"
The Fire Rock Beast made a rumbling sound, which meant "confirmation".
Success! ?
Duan Ming said again: "Fire Rock Beast, control the space capsule to open the hatch."
The hatch slowly opened, and the green life-support fluid splashed on the ground, and then vaporized due to the temperature rise of the Fire Rock Beast.
Duan Ming took the beauty out of the space capsule and wanted to change her clothes, but found that the scaly armor seemed to grow on her body, without any gaps.
"It's really high-tech."
[New interstellar creatures have been discovered. Do you want to contract? ]
System prompt.
Duan Ming was stunned for a moment. Has this space capsule been invaded by interstellar creatures?
In an instant, various images of aliens invading spaceships flashed through his mind. Each of these star beasts is extremely difficult to deal with, and once they get into the spaceship, the humans on the entire ship will not have the strength to resist.
There were several such incidents in the early years, and they were even made into movies.
His development base must not be invaded by star beasts!
He held the beauty and hid far away, hiding in the cabin of the development base and closing the hatch.
"Contract! All contracts!"
[Number of contractable creatures detected: 1. Contract in progress... Contract failed, the target creature level is higher than the host's current level, do you want to consume a master-level contract and force the contract? ]
"Yes! Contract immediately!"
Duan Ming was afraid that the star beast would suddenly pop out of the space capsule, so he hurriedly said.
[Contract successful. ]
After the system flashed this message, there was no sound.
"System?"
Duan Ming asked.
"System? What did I contract?"
The system did not respond. The current system can only allow Duan Ming to view information about the specified contract beast. If he does not specify which contract beast to view, the system will not display the information for him to choose.
But since the contract has been signed, no matter how loyal it is, the contract beast will definitely not attack Duan Ming.
"Hmm..."
The beauty woke up and moaned.
Her eyes were full of affection, but her eyes were slightly out of focus.
"Beauty, do you remember who you are?" Duan Ming asked hurriedly when he saw her wake up, "Your space capsule yawed to the asteroid belt, and I rescued you. This is the Star Belt Development Base, the 7th batch, newly built."
The beauty sat up, rubbed her forehead, and her eyes became clear again.
"I am... I don't remember my name. The environment here is good, I like it. What about you? What's your name?"
Duan Ming heard the beauty say that she didn't remember her name, and thought to himself that this was another unlucky child who lost her memory.
It is very common to configure escape capsules on starships, but few people will actually take an escape capsule unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although the space capsule escape technology can bring the crew back intact, there is a high probability of losing memory. At the least, they will forget what happened in the past few days, and at the worst, they will even forget who they are.
"My name is Duan Ming. Do you know the Star Belt Development Plan?"
The beauty shook her head.
Duan Ming explained, "You are a resident of Earth. Except for some dignitaries and high-level people who may not care about this, the plan to develop the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter has been carried out to the 7th phase, and I am one of these pioneers."
The beauty nodded slowly.
"Then, will I live here?"
Duan Ming said, "If you don't mind, of course. But according to the laws of the Earth Federation, I am the owner of the development base, and this will not change."
The beauty nodded again, her expression was depressed for a while, and suddenly she seemed to have discovered something and looked out of the porthole.
"Ah! What is that!?"
Duan Ming also came out of the cabin and saw interstellar creatures in the sky!
What is this shape!
Zerg worker bees! ? Three!
Zerg worker bees, each half a meter in size, flashed fan-shaped limbs and rushed straight to Duan Ming's development base!
"Cnidary turrets! Get ready for battle!"
Duan Ming shouted.
The Cnidary Turret, which was originally aimed at the direction of the development base and was still wary of the beauty, immediately turned its muzzle and pointed it towards the sky.
Bang!
One shot was fired.
The Zerg worker bee flicked its limbs and easily dodged.
Another shot was fired, and it was dodged again!
Danger!
This is the 10th spike fired by the Cnidary Turret today. The nutritional reserves are running low!
Duan Ming hurriedly checked the situation of the Cnidary Turret.
[Interstellar Creature: Cnidary Turret
Current Level: Level 1
Experience Value: 10 points/10 points (Do you want to upgrade?)
Body Length: 4 meters
Skills: None
Trust Value: 85/100
Talent: Spike Jet]
"It turns out that the experience value is full, upgrade immediately!"
As soon as the voice fell, the surface of the Cnidary Turret was filled with mucus, which gradually wrapped the main body of the building, forming a giant egg.
[Cnidary Turret is upgrading, and there are 60 seconds left before the upgrade is completed. ]
Hurry up...upgrade quickly!
Just when Duan Ming was getting anxious, the beautiful woman in scaled armor jumped out!
