Chapter 1275 - Corruptors (1/2)

Celestial City, the gravity-free section of the dock.It was the midst of the ceremony of the Envoy-cla.s.s stars.h.i.+p, however, Jiang Chen, who was speaking to Kelvin, showed a gradually tense expression.

“…the Marines we sent underground were attacked by unknown Martian creatures…not the Devil Worms. Three Marines were killed, two soldiers and a researcher were seriously injured.” Kelvin took a deep breath and transferred a video file to Jiang Chen’s phone. “This is the recording of the battle.”

[Transfer completed]

Jiang Chen checked behind him to ensure that no one was around before he clicked play.

In the picture, Celestial Marines were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire against the Martian creatures that suddenly appeared.

A Marine soldier grabbed a researcher’s back while he used a Gaussian rifle to return fire.

The Martian creature that was. .h.i.t screamed in pain as green blood splattered. It tried to dodge to the side while also creating s.p.a.ce of its kind. At the same time, it sprayed corrosive acid with its menacing giant mouth.

The intensity of the battle made the video extremely shaky.

Jiang Chen suddenly pressed the pause b.u.t.ton.

The picture was fixed on the giant, terrifying mouth.

Jiang Chen zoomed in, then zoomed in further before he fixed his sight on the creature.

Powerful feet, long tail with barbs, a fusiform-shaped head, arms extended forward and sharp claws; the appearance of the creature looked explosive and lethal. The crustaceans on its back were lined up like a heavy cavalry armor.

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen’s pupils shrank.

He felt like the appearance looked familiar.

Not from the apocalypse, nor in the memory of the Gaia civilization.

It came from the memory of Gliese 581g!

Yes, that’s right!

The bugs that first fought with the Brahma looked exactly like this!

But why?

Jiang Chen’s head was filled with countless questions.

He did not understand why the opponent that the Harmony civilization once faced, now appeared on Mars.

After some careful thought, the way the Devil Worms attacked was almost identical to the bugs that sieged the Brahma colonists. The only difference may be that the bug Brahma encountered was bigger than the Devil Worm, and its back was dotted with a quartz sh.e.l.l…

A coincidence?

But it was too similar.

Jiang Chen frowned as he tried to piece the puzzle together.

Kelvin saw that Jiang Chen did not respond, so he tried to get an answer.

“President?”

Kelvin’s voice reminded Jiang Chen that he was still on the call.

No longer stuck in his thoughts, Jiang Chen turned off the holographic screen, and immediately ordered.

“Wait for me at the command center. I will come over immediately.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Chen hung up the phone and returned to the dock to quickly inform Wu Changfeng and the other people at the boarding entrance about his early departure. Then, he rushed to the command center for Project 071.

When he arrived, everyone in the command room was running in circles.

Jiang Chen walked next to Kelvin and asked with a sense of urgency.

“How is the situation on the front line?”

“It’s not optimistic… We have a drilling rig stuck underground. Fortunately, the people inside the rig has been evacuated in time. The seriously injured researcher is still in critical condition, another seriously injured researcher is now in stable condition,” Kelvin responded as his expression looked tense and serious.
