Non-human Gene Complex

In fact, after seeing Zhao Bu's distressed appearance, Lan Mu had already guessed that the other three were in danger.

Not to mention whether the place they explored was dangerous, even if there was no danger, even Zhao Bu who rushed over at the end almost died of suffocation on the way back.

Then the other three people who are still missing, have no supplies for more than two days, and the lack of oxygen is enough to kill them.

"How did you die?" Lan Mu asked.

Zhao Bu is alone now, and he is on Mars, which is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the earth. Although he has countless doubts about Lan Mu in his heart, there is no need to hide anything at this time.

At least the other party saved him, no matter whether he is a god, a monster, or an alien, if there is no other party, he would be dead now.

"Lao Nie and the others found a creature in the mud volcano over there, a kind of bacteria that lives in the mud. After I got the news, I drove a crawler car there. When I arrived, they had dug a large cave, and there were a lot of crimson colonies mixed with the mud."

"This crimson fungus should survive on the organic matter in the mud. At the same time, they have also adapted to the carbon dioxide environment and obtained the abundant carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through the chimney-shaped mud crater."

"Originally we planned to dig out some crimson fungus as specimens and return to the spaceship before dark. But a new discovery made us choose to stay. We really shouldn't have stayed..."

Zhao Bu looked remorseful, but continued: "Four meters below the mud volcano, we found a brown oval ball, which looked like a sarcoma, and there were crimson fungus piled up around it."

"When we approached him, the sarcoma burst open suddenly, and a starfish-like creature hugged Lao Nie's face. Originally protected by a spacesuit, Lao Nie was just startled, and there was no danger. But then a hard substance grew out of the creature's body, and it hit the helmet of the spacesuit at a very fast frequency. In just over a second, the glass broke through, and the whole thing got into the helmet and hugged Lao Nie's face."

"At that time, Lao Nie was screaming, pulling the creature down and throwing it on the ground, but then, all the crimson colonies also rioted, surging towards Lao Nie at an extremely fast speed, which completely broke the common sense of bacteria on the earth."

"After the crimson bacteria spread into Lao Nie's space suit, he didn't make a sound for a long time. What happened next was even more unbelievable. We saw the crimson bacteria colonies congeal together, forming a black-red blood network like a net. The blood seemed to have life, and it entangled us very actively... We were trapped in the cave for a day and a night."

Listening to Zhao Bu's description, Lan Mu was surprised by several familiar places.

I had some thoughts in my heart, and then asked, "How did you escape?"

Zhao Bu smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yang didn't have any supplies on them. They suffocated to death this morning due to exhaustion of oxygen. I was also running out of oxygen, so I kept trying to take out the oxygen tank from my waist to continue my life. But the supply ports were blocked by black and red biomass, so I couldn't inject oxygen at all."

"Then I had an idea, thinking that these creatures depend on carbon dioxide, and the pure oxygen in the oxygen tank would be poisonous to them..."

Lan Mu went on to say: "So you let go of the pure oxygen in several oxygen tanks, and dispelled the black and red biomass that entangled you?"

Zhao Bu nodded and said: "That's right, pure oxygen will make them inert. After I put several cans in a row, I easily shook them off my body. But after I escaped, I found that the surface of the exploration vehicle was covered with crimson colonies. I couldn't get close at all, so I had to walk away."

The latter was obvious, after wasting a large amount of oxygen supply, his remaining oxygen reserves were simply not enough for him to return to the spaceship.

If he hadn't met Lan Mu, he would have died. There will be no return journey for the Mars program this time, and the mission is also a failure.

Zhao Bu was very depressed. He was proud of being the first to set foot on Mars on behalf of the country, but three colleagues died here, which made him feel very guilty.

Especially after meeting Lan Mu and hearing that he came from Earth, I couldn't believe it. He felt that this mission was a complete failure. Someone on the earth had already landed on Mars first, and they were deprived of the achievement of being the first to reach Mars. This made him unacceptable. Instead, he hoped that Lan Mu was an alien.

"Are you really from the earth? Why don't you need a spacesuit? And...how did you talk to me?" Zhao Bu asked.

Lan Mu knew what he was thinking, so he said: "I am the special envoy of the Lanbai Society. If you don't know the meaning of this name, you can go back and ask your boss. Once you understand what the special envoy of the Lanbai Society means, then your three questions will be answered."

"Also, you and the three people who have died are the pioneers of human exploration of extraterrestrial planets. You don't have to question this. You are the first human beings to set foot on Mars, and I am also the first to come, and after you."

What Lan Mu said was the truth, and he didn't care about the important pioneer name at the national level.

At this time, he was trying to figure out what happened to these people based on what Zhao Bu said.

There is no doubt that there is life on Mars, and this life has survived in the mud filled with organic matter. For human beings, this kind of life level is extremely low, and it is still the stage of the origin of life.

But when the alien energy fell here, everything was different. It has transformed the life here, transformed it into another species, and directly carried out the life leap.

As expected, the target of the heterogeneous energy is the sarcoma they discovered.

Maybe it wasn't originally a ball of meat, but maybe it was just a fungus. But the boarding of alien energy makes it have a complex life structure. According to the situation described by Zhao Bu, it looks like an alien egg...

Just like the ancient tree in Shennongjia, it has transformed from an ordinary tree with a crooked neck to a thousand-year-old tree. If it is given a little more time, it may turn into a demon, or continue to grow into a mythical and legendary sacred tree.

Of course, all this comes from the amount of heterogeneous energy, and there are also some factors in the living environment. In such a harsh environment as Mars, turning a group of fungi into alien eggs, Lan Mu realized that this might be a very strong alien energy!

"There should be a lot of alien energy, but I can see the alien egg. What is that black-red biomass?"

Crimson fungus is a large number of lives living in the mud. They are affected by the radiation of different energy, and they must evolve into other species.

It can be seen from the crimson fungus around the alien egg that the appearance of the stars holding the moon is similar to that of Shennongjia back then.

Immediately after coming into contact with humans, the crimson fungus turns into a black-red biomass and becomes extremely active. It is conceivable that if the space suits were not there to block them, these black and red biomass would not be as simple as entangled them, and it is estimated that they would directly devour the human body.

Devouring the human body, black with scarlet...

Lan Mu suddenly thought of something, but he didn't expect that it also belonged to the category of life.

"Zhao Bu, you can leave now, this oxygen is enough to support you for the rest of your journey." Lan Mu was going to recover the alien energy, and he left a dozen bottles of oxygen behind.

Obviously Zhao Bu was very grateful. After accepting it, he asked with concern: "Are you going to that cave? It's very dangerous there!"

Lan Mu shook his head and said, "It's just dangerous for you guys... well, if someone asks you what I'm here for, tell them: the Lanbai Society is doing business and arresting the inmates."

He knew that Zhao Bu would use communication equipment to contact Huaguo when he returned to the spaceship. People of insight would definitely want to know why his special envoy went to Mars. Obviously, there are aliens here, and it is only natural for the Blue and White Society to accommodate aliens.

Zhao Bu felt that this person was full of mysteries, but since he said that someone above knew about it, he stopped talking.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Lan Mu turning his head to look in one direction, which was the place where Zhao Bu escaped.

Zhao Bu followed him and was taken aback for a moment. He saw an exploration vehicle approaching in the distance. It was his vehicle!

"Ah?" Zhao Bu was stunned again. This is Mars. Besides him and his colleagues, who else can drive?

When the exploration vehicle approached, he saw the driver clearly. There were two people in the vehicle, they were his two colleagues, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yang.

"They're still alive! Great!"

Zhao Bu thought they were all suffocated to death, but he miraculously survived till now and escaped back.

Seeing Zhao Bu running to meet him, Lan Mu said coldly, "Come back if you don't want to die, they are not your colleagues."

Zhao Bu didn't believe it: "How could it be? They are clearly alive."

He didn't know that after Lan Mu saw these two people, he had confirmed his conjecture and knew what the black and red biomass was.

"It's amazing... Alien energy."

"Even the black light virus has come out."
