Chapter 1276 - A New Body (1/2)

The Mars colony experienced a similar encounter to the Brahma.

As Celestial Marines descended down, the “Aboriginals” underground gradually began to reveal their sharp claws. Devil Worms from the start, now the Corrupters that could spit acid and tear their prey with their sharp fangs.

What’s next?

Jiang Chen did not know; no one in the world knew.

All news related to the Mine 071 site was suppressed by Celestial Trade. All the partic.i.p.ating Marines were interviewed after the entire incident to cover up the Devil Worm Incident near Mine 071. Because the incident did not involve Future Mining, the treatment of this incident was much easier compared to the previous time, and did not even attract the attention of the international community.

As for the family members of the soldiers who died, of course, they all received a considerable pension. Although money wouldn’t make up for the pain of losing their loved ones, it could at least make those still alive live a little better.

“What the Mars Colony needs is not reinforcements, but solutions.”

“The problem is what is the solution?”

“We need specimens, more specimens! Only by understanding their structure can we defeat them!”

“It is not difficult to defeat them. No creature can resist electromagnetic pulse cannons and flames. The problem is … there are too many of them.”

There were constant arguments in the conference room. However, despite the fierce discussions, the senior executives of Project 071 had yet to come up with any feasible solution.

Specimen, more specimen.

This may seem easy to say, but collecting specimens of Corrupters, which lived together in groups, would be much more difficult compared to collecting specimens of Devil Worms.

This underground creature did not seem to be good at digging, at least its digging speed was far worse than that of Devil Worms, which could be described as swimmers of dirt. On the other hand, however, they were more intelligent, especially at “planting” oxygen-producing fungi.

For these reasons, their area of activities underground was limited and restricted.

Some even speculated that it was likely that the Corruptor’s lair was located near the ruins of the Gaia civilization. What the Celestial Marines unearthed was only their new lair. After all, the ultrasonic fence eradicated the Devil Worms in this region, which created a vast, inhabited zone for Corruptors free of their potential natural enemies.

The meeting came to an end temporarily.

Jiang Chen went into the lounge and poured a cup of coffee for himself, then he sat down.

A problem had bothered him for the past few days.

Why the monster he saw in the memory of Harmony civilization appeared in Mine 071 on Mars. If he remembered correctly, the source of these Corruptors was the specimen bank of the Gaia civilization. However, based on the memory of the Gaia civilization, they did not travel that far.

“… All three factions had stations established on Mars before the war. The cause of the Third World War was due to the economic crisis of 2150, the Gaia civilization 3.7 billion years ago, Gliese 581g …”

He gently tapped the edge of his cup and fixated his eyes on the white mist. Jiang Chen began to sift through the information his head.

Inside the mist, he had a feeling.

He was very close to the truth.

The door of the lounge opened, and Ayesha walked to him in light steps.

Jiang Chen smiled when he felt the tender hands around his shoulders, then closed his eyes, and relaxed his muscles as he leaned back.

“Comfortable?”

“It’s great.”

Her lips formed into a happy arc.

“Have you been busy?”

“Well, troubles always come together,” Jiang Chen sighed softly and said in a joking tone, “Sometimes I wish I could divide myself into three people. One stays on the synchronized orbit, and one resides in Coro Island.”

As for the other one, even if Jiang Chen didn’t mention it, Ayesha knew he referred to the world torn by war.

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the number X71291 he had picked up from Subway Line 0.

I wonder if Lin Lin made any progress.

If it can help, I think many things would be a lot easier…

Probably?

…

“Ahhchoo!”
