Chapter 1232 - Level-one Alarm! (1/2)

Celestial Trade’s rover left with the “centipede’s body”; the rover that got flipped around was left there.

Two Devil Worms crawled out from underground and they used their sickle-like teeth to touch the rover. They then realized that it was inedible and returned into the ground.

The two people who didn’t dare to breathe inside the vehicle looked at each other and saw the same fear.

The entire car was flipped over with its four wheels pointed up.

Unfastening the seat belt across their chest, the two fell from their seats onto the ceiling.

Wang Qiang had a hard time turning himself over. After he managed to throw this body around, he reached to the interface of the rover and pressed a few buttons. James crawled cautiously to the window and peeked out.

“Are they gone?” While Wang Qiang operated the interface, he grunted and said, “Damn, it’s so hard to operate this…got it!”

The console’s system restarted and the blue light particles converged on the holographic screen. Rows of dazzling lines floated in front of Wang Qiang’s eyes and the glaring light made him blink a few times.

“It’s gone, but I’m not sure if they will come back.” James took a deep breath and moved his eyes away from the window. Then he leaned against the wall of the cabin and put his hands around his head. “Damn, what’s with those bugs outside?”

Everything happened so unexpectedly.

Almost without warning, the entire rover was knocked over by the “centipede”. His forehead was still bruised by the coffee cup that was sent flying.

“Who knows. Maybe we have been messing around this place too much and disturbed their sleep? Or the little guy we sent down made them mad,” While concentrating on the holographic screen, Wang Qiang grunted. “Thank god. Their teeth are still not sharp enough… The chassis has been bent, but no damage to the fuel tank or the engine. The air conditioning system is normal, and the oxygen content here is sufficient… Fresh water and food can last us two weeks; the situation is very optimistic. However, the antenna on the roof is broken.”

“Can you turn the rover over?” James asked.

“You are joking, man.” Wang Qiang laughed and turned off the holographic screen, he then just lied flat on the ceiling.

In order to offer protection from sandstorms, and at the same also include life, research, communications and other facilities, the tonnage of the rover was naturally high.

Under normal circumstances, the rover not much lighter than an armored vehicle would be impossible to flip over. But once the rover was indeed knocked over, it would be a difficult task to get it back on its wheels.

“Let me think about it. We might need a crane, or a superhuman.” Wang Qiang shook his head, pressed the button next to the window, lowered the alloy folding window, and leaned back on the wall inside the cabin, “I feel neither situation is very reliable right now.”

“Are we abandoned?” James gulped as he forced out these words.

“No way, just wait for the rescue team. Celestial Trade has never left anybody.”

Wang Qiang was absolutely convinced.

What’s more, even if it was not for them, the headquarters would still never abandon them for the alien relics in Mine 071.

The instant Wang Qiang saw the bugs, he once again confirmed the idea that everyone rejected.

Below Mine 071 was not a natural igneous vein.

It was the remains of Martians!

…

Celestial Trade Space Defense Force headquarters activated the level-one alarm.

It was the first time this has happened since the establishment of the Space Defense Force.

Armed in 30 seconds and converged in 30 seconds.
