[Chapter 559: Devil's Nest]
...
"Here! We're here!"
"We've landed on Mars?"
"Yes, yes! Jackson, we are living on Mars! We are the new legend!!!"
"Ha ha!!"
After a burst of excitement, the two astronauts quickly sent the message back to the Noah running in high altitude orbit. The entire Noah cheered again, and immediately sent a message to the earth impatiently.
In the Orion spacecraft, two landed astronauts have left the driver's seat and have repeatedly checked the space suit to confirm that there is no problem, and then they are ready to leave the cabin.
Scovo Audran, who was walking in the front, was about to open the hatch door when suddenly stopped and turned to look at his partner, asking, "Jackson, will every word I want to say be recorded in history?"
"Uh...it should be true, I think." The partner was holding a camera to adjust, and was about to aim at Skovo. The latter hurriedly covered it: "Wait a minute, oh damn, where are the lines?"
"What line?" Jackson said suspiciously.
"Of course, the lines that are about to be recorded in history. No one told me what I want to say?" Skovo was anxious: "God! Have they forgotten to prepare the lines? Contact the Noah quickly."
"Oh..." Jackson quickly sent out a message, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No~!"
"What? No? Are you sure not?"
"I'm sure, and old guy, we're consuming oxygen every minute and every second, so don't waste time. Just do whatever you say on the spot and pass the scene. Anyway, it's going to be recorded in history. Of course, the most important thing is that if you say stupid things, I don't have to take the blame, hehe."
"Oh no, God bless, otherwise that old guy Charles will kill me after he goes back."
Jackson shook his head helplessly and picked up the camera and pointed it at his partner. Scovo took a deep breath and finally opened the hatch. At this moment, the Pezos Heights was in a straight day, and the appearance of Mars suddenly came into view. This is a world of iron oxide, and the earth is in a red world. In the video, Scovo carefully grabbed the outer bar and held it with his hand and walked down the 7-stage ladder step by step. When he stepped on the penultimate ladder.
With a light leap, he jumped on the red land. Jackson carried the camera and used his awkward shooting techniques to record this historic moment. When Scovo Audran took the first step, a historical footprint appeared.
Finally, the camera pointed at Scovo Audland, and saw him put an American flag on the ground, and then looked straight at the camera's lens: "This is Mars, we are here. I will be the first human to leave a footprint on Mars, the first person to plant a flag on Mars, the first person to touch the air of Mars, the first person to walk, run, sit, and eat on Mars... Next, no matter what I do, I will be the first person in history. Armstrong, I officially announce that I will surpass you. To all human beings, the pioneers and travel are legends!"
With Mars as the background, Scovo looked directly at the camera and froze. Jackson put away the camera and returned to the spacecraft for backup. This video will become one of the most significant videos in human history.
Skovo, who stood on the Martian land for the first time, looked around for a week, his eyes wandering away from the Martian skyline and the entire land, and he was also wandering near the spacecraft. The scenery of the Pezos Heights came into view. There was a small highland in front of the left, with the slope angle exceeding 30 degrees. He soon saw several large caves on the slope, with different diameters, but they were all very large. He knew that there was originally a volcano in the Pezos Heights, but Pezos volcano had stopped its activity 200 million years ago.
Those caves should be the magma corridors that used to be, he guessed so much in his heart.
"This is the Noah, call 'Orion'!"
"I'm Skovo, received it."
"The first batch of supplies will be put into place in 40 minutes. It is about 11 kilometers away from the landing point, with roughly coordinates..."
"Received. Jackson, he is preparing to get the rover off the spacecraft, and some of them are busy next."
Skovo said as he headed towards the spacecraft. After a few steps, he suddenly kicked something under his feet and stopped him. He looked down at his left foot slightly. He swept the red dust with his feet. A snow-white and smooth object appeared in his field of view, which looked extremely eye-catching on the monotonous red soil. Skovo squatted down and slowly threw away the soil along the white object with his hands. The white object became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger...
Skovo looked at the white object in front of him, his eyes became more and more incredible, and even had a look of horror. He murmured to himself: "Bone-like objects? Biological bones?"
After muttering, he began to throw soil along the white object wildly. It had been exposed for more than 5 meters, but it was still not yet reached the end. The bone-like object in front of him was suspected to be the skeleton of a snake. Skovo's breathing became rapid. He was not from archaeology. If this was really the bone left by a creature, it would definitely subvert his worldview. Mars not only exists creatures, but also large creatures, but what shocked him even more was that if the object in front of him was really a biological bone...
That would mean that there are still living creatures on Mars, not ancient times, but now, now!!
Because this skeleton has not been petrified and has not become a fossil, this conclusion can be drawn without instrumental analysis!
"Hey man, what are you doing? Do you want me to get the rover down by myself?"
Skovo ignored his partner. He stood up again and looked at the skeleton on the red clay in front of him. He had basically abandoned the soil layer. The white skeleton that exceeded 3 meters in length was quietly lying on the red clay layer. "You'd better look at this!" He said to his partner dumbly to the communicator.
The complaining partner saw the image sent back from Skovo's perspective. At that moment, Jackson was also stunned. After a long time, he said blankly: "This is..."
"If nothing unexpected happens... Martian creature! A Martian creature that has not been dead for a long time can be preliminarily judged from the color and texture of the bone. It should die in about three years. It may be longer or shorter, but it will not have much floating. It has not had any petrification phenomenon yet."
"this……"
"Quick! Send this video back to the Noah. Don't worry about it for now. Remove the rover quickly and drag the supplies back. After everything is built, wait for Houston's instructions!" Scovo said and left with great strides.
Ten minutes later, the Mars rover carried the two of them toward the landing point of supplies, leaving the complete white skeleton exposed here.
What they didn't know was that the landing location they chose was a demon's nest, and they didn't know that it was the time when these Martian creatures were in a new round of mating and reproductive period, which meant the most frequent moment for the official Martian creatures to be active.
Deep in the underground of the Pezos Heights, organisms are awakening from the long dormant period, eating fermented substances grown over a long period of time during the long "familiar anaerobic dormant period" of the body, and thus obtaining the first source of energy for physical activity. In the next mating period, which lasts 30 to 50 days, it is the most frequent moment of this type of organisms in a periodic manner.
Only the most brutal, cruel, and bloodthirsty, who kill and eat opponents can win everything and survive in an extremely evil environment where food is scarce.
And these visitors from the earth did not know that there were thousands of local residents under their feet, which had been going on for billions of years, and they were waking up from their sleep...
