Chapter 12 Unexpected Visitor
In the "Desolate Starfield", a spaceship that traveled thousands of light years started its hyperspace engine again.
In the spaceship, a group of about four or five people was also silent at this time.
After a long time, one of the members said:
“...Starting from the parent star, we have passed through 25 star fields and explored 2330 planets in 156 star systems.”
"Excluding the planets that we think are worthless, there are at least 1,500 planets..."
"...So Cowper, where are your so-called 'ancient ruins'?"
The atmosphere of the whole team seemed to be a little bit colder because of this person's words, and several other members also looked at the protagonist in this passage with a blank expression - a man with a green body, muscular body, but surprisingly big eyes creature.
All kinds of characteristics indicate that he comes from a new interstellar race—the Labonians.
But the team members obviously won't give him preferential treatment just because he is different from his own species, and the Rabone named Cowper still has to give them an explanation.
After a while of silence, Cowper slowly expressed his thoughts:
"I know you are very dissatisfied, but you have all read my father's research manuscripts. At that time, everyone thought that you could try it. Now you are not halfway through the exploration journey, so you decided to go back home?"
"But there must be something to look forward to? Let alone look forward to it in the past two years, and we haven't even found a hair. How can we explain it when we go back?"
"...Heh, you don't even have any patience, I really don't know how you got into the Union University..."
"What did you say?!"
Seeing that the quarrel was showing signs of intensifying, the leader of the team suddenly said: "Okay! Be quiet!"
The entire conference room was silent for a moment, but judging from their expressions of mutual dissatisfaction, the peace was only temporary.
Seeing this situation, the leader rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly:
"We voted unanimously at the time, and it is really too early to say back."
Hearing this sentence, Cowper's big eyes were filled with hope.
But the next sentence immediately poured cold water on him.
"But we can't waste time searching endlessly. Let's go back after exploring all the star systems in this star field."
"Professor! This—"
"Cowper." The professor leading the team said wearily:
"I'm old and don't have much time to study new things. For your father's sake, I am willing to drive this scientific research ship to accompany you to explore one planet after another."
"But I still have my own things to study. It would be fine if I can really find the 'ancient relic' in your father's manuscript, but from the perspective of probability theory, you also know that the probability is infinitely close to zero percent."
"So just listen to me this time, okay?"
Looking at the old man in front of him who was almost equal to his other father, Cowper opened his mouth, but finally he could only nod silently.
The young man who had an argument with him before also showed a mocking smile, as if seeing Cowper deflated would make him extremely happy.
At this time, the hyperspace engine of the spaceship has been fully charged, propelling the spaceship to the next galaxy at super-light speed.
...
"Lillian! Where's your daily prayer?"
"Holding, sorry, Master Guardian... I, I overslept..."
In the artificial forest, Li Wenyuan controlled a synthetic man, holding a branch he picked up, and preached to Lilian who was addicted to the game.
This artificial forest is Lilian's residence. According to her, it is because "the environment here is very similar to the environment in my hometown, and I like it very much."
There are also synthetic fruits and clear water that are produced regularly every day in the artificial forest, and there is no need to worry about Lilian's survival, so Li Wenyuan simply let her go.
But the game console that was given to her before was really good, or in other words, it was too good.
When Li Wenyuan found out that the amount of Zelo in his account decreased every day, he sent someone to the artificial forest to find Lilian, the only producer of Zelo, to find out what happened.
—Then he saw Lilian sleeping in the tree hole.
"...So, because you are too engrossed in playing games, you don't get enough sleep every day, so you simply use prayer time to catch up on sleep?"
"Yes, yes..." Lilian nodded sincerely, knowing that she couldn't hide it from the guardian.
Li Wenyuan took out the game console she hid in the tree hole with a black face, and then touched her head with a branch, saying:
"Want to play?"
"…think…"
"Do you know why I played for you?"
"...Because Lilian can provide that purple gas..." At this moment, Lilian suddenly remembered that this "guardian" is a murderous existence.
If she is useless, what will happen to her...
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and then she fell to her knees and said tremblingly:
"Yes, I'm sorry! Lilian will not make mistakes again in the future! Please, don't kill me..."
This scene was beyond Li Wenyuan's expectations. He originally wanted to clarify the supply and demand relationship between them with Lilian, so that Lilian could understand that she could play games, but at least her prayers had to go on normally.
But Lilian didn't expect that Lilian thought he was going to clean up the house, and she was terrified.
"It seems that I used too much force before..." Li Wenyuan looked at the shivering beast mother in front of him with some headaches, so he also squatted down and stroked the top of her head with his synthetic hand.
He never considered doing anything to Lilian—the only living creature on this planet, not only because she can produce Zello, but also because of her biological form that is very similar to human beings, which aroused his attention and intimacy.
In fact, even if Lilian can't produce Zelo, Li Wenyuan will still protect her until she is able to set foot on the interstellar world.
He does not believe that there is a second fish in this galaxy that can walk on land, survive mass extinctions again and again, and go through rounds of life-and-death struggles, evolve flexible limbs, evolve the same appearance as human beings, and finally reach the top of the food chain the top, and then create a civilization.
In Li Wenyuan's heart, he always believed that Lilian and her race were the products of human beings, and no matter how bad they were, they would have a great relationship with human beings. Sooner or later, he would come to Lilian's home planet to look for traces of human beings there.
When the time comes, Lilian will be the best guide.
So he squatted down and softly comforted Lilian.
Maybe because of the soothing effect, Lilian finally raised her head, but the cat ears drooped on her hair, looking pitiful.
And Li Wenyuan also sighed, and handed a new game console to Lilian.
"This is a new game console, there are more games in it, and the variety is richer, you can play with it. When you think of it later, pray for a while, it doesn't matter if you don't want to pray, Zelo is enough for the time being. Maomao doesn't have to go to work, What are you doing so tired all day?"
While talking, he remembered something again, and warned:
"Don't leave this forest if you have nothing to do in the future. Anyway, there is enough food and drink inside. I haven't fully understood the defense system in some ancient ruins outside. If you accidentally run in and die, I don't even have a person to talk to. have to."
"So be it."
It may be that the kindness in the words is too obvious, or it may be because the sense of alienation makes Lilian very uneasy.
Just as Li Wenyuan was about to leave, Lilian stood up abruptly and stopped the synthetic man.
"Well, Master Guardian! Lilian will work hard! So, so... don't drive Lilian away, okay?"
Lilian's pleading words made Li Wenyuan stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.
You looked terrified just now, why are you not afraid now? And when did he say he wanted her to go?
"When did I say that I would... Forget it, don't worry, as long as you are still on this planet, I will never let you go."
"And don't lose the earmuffs on your head, otherwise I won't be able to contact you. Sigh... It's troublesome for primitive people not to speak. When will you arrange a synthetic person to teach her..."
Although Lilian couldn't understand the meaning of class, she thought it should be a good thing, so she also laughed.
As everyone knows, this will be her nightmare for a long time to come.
At this time, at the edge of the solar system, a spaceship suddenly appeared here.
There were only a few people on board, but when they noticed the scene inside the galaxy, their eyes widened in unison.
"here it is…"
The eyes of the Rabone man named Cowper suddenly ignited a raging fire, and his intuition told him that he was in the right place.
