"Where is this? Is another monster guarding field?" After passing through the portal, everyone seemed to return to the circular passage. The pipes, valves and strange instruments were still there, but the ceiling here was much shorter and the diameter was less than half that before.

"No, those pipes are not living things, they are just corpses." Zhao Mai sniffed the smell, and then said affirmatively: "It may make you feel stomach upset, those things..."

"Stop talking!" Susan was already using the actual actions of retching to prove her stomach discomfort. It was not her fault. After all, looking around, there were all kinds of dried corpses hanging everywhere on the ceiling and walls of the entire ring passage, most of which were broken, and some were only a piece of skin, which was dazzling, as if... Forget it, I can't describe it. What if the reader was eating bacon rice when he was reading this paragraph?

The pipes were already full of steam, and all the devices here were in operation. The valves made a creaking sound, the lever and the pistons were whispering, and smoke was everywhere, and the water vapor was everywhere, and the sharp friction sound was endless, making the teeth sour. Compared with the empty passage before, this place finally became "live", like a dilapidated classic car, stirring the power of water and fire, mixing the smell of steel and rust, and exerting the final residual heat.

The steam brought the wind, swaying the corpses of various creatures that were hung, entangled, or stuck between the pipes and swayed slightly. There must be some kind of antiseptic magic here, otherwise the smell would be ruinous in such a humid and hot place. Fortunately, everything around me was just tormenting people in visual and psychological feelings, and I temporarily spared my nose.

Zhao Mai was the first person in the team. He stopped moving and kept looking up at the corpses in the air with a solemn expression. Diana went around Zhao Mai to look at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you found any shortcuts again?"

"No, I'm wondering where these corpses come from." Zhao Mai's words almost caused Susan to vomit. Her legs became weak and she hurriedly lay on the shoulder of Steelers. "Brother-in-law, I am a physics and astronomy, not pathology or criminal investigation. Please spare me."

"I'm talking about astronomy." Zhao Mai said: "Let me tell you this way. These corpses look like bionic beasts we've seen before, but they are not. If you observe carefully... forget it, I'll just say the result: these are all aliens."

Diana knew that Zhao Mai's space fleet was traveling through various galaxies to carry out the mission of finding and spreading life, so she was sure of his judgment. Steelers and Invisible Women did not know Zhao Mai, but before seeing him with his own eyes, he had only one move to put the asteroid in paralysis, which could prove his strength from the side. If he said that these were aliens, let's think so first. But Susan was right: "Anyway, it's not a corpse, so it's not a big deal to us. It's better to find the path and pass through this corpse."

"Okay." Zhao Mai said as he walked: "I sent a spaceship deep into the Star Sea, went to millions of star systems, and crossed the Milky Way. There were thousands of colonized planets left behind, but no trace of alien creatures was found. Not to mention corpses, they were even radio waves, ruins, and even fragments of human-made creatures. If it weren't for the Death Star and Superman, I would have thought there would be no aliens in this universe. Unexpectedly, seeing so many kinds of alien creatures here inevitably made me have a question: How did they die here?"

In fact, the answer lies in these corpses. Zhao Mai, with his own professional vision, found the surgical traces left by various biological experiments. Although the same type of aliens are scattered in various circular passages, as long as they are careful to remember, they can find that they can gather the size of several ethnic groups. Different body shapes, classification of physical characteristics, and differences in the degree of aging of skin and muscles prove that they were captured in groups and are specially used for research.

You can imagine a picture: the Death Star descends on a certain planet, uses weakening light to suppress the power of the entire planet, and then starts to plunder and learn. After everything is completed, all traces are erased, leaving only some souvenirs. Zhao Mai measured the difficulty of doing this and found that in addition to perfectly erasing the traces, he himself can do other things. If he specializes in developing relevant abilities, this model is absolutely feasible.

While walking, Zhao Mai used his psychic power to move away the corpses blocking the way, so that everyone could pass through more smoothly. Walking here is an unpleasant experience for others, but for Zhao Mai it is a journey of discovery. The aliens in front of him only study their organs and abilities is purely a waste. Only by deeply investigating their evolutionary journey and studying organisms like history can we learn the most important knowledge they accumulate in time and retain in the corpses: how to adapt to the environment. So Zhao Mai released some of the source substances, which is enough to support the establishment of a small research base here, and by the way, the space for the psychic powers has become surplus. He secretly took some samples, avoided everyone's attention, and stuffed them in.

Following the increasingly clearer spatial energy signal, they walked forward for about one kilometer. "There is a signal of biological creatures in front of me, and they are alive." Zhao Mai's words alerted everyone and made a warning posture. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mai smiled bitterly: "Don't be nervous, it's just some eggs."

Sure enough, after turning an angle in the annular passage, everyone saw the "egg field" in front of them. Strong milky white gelatinous objects spread all over the ground, walls and ceiling, forming a thick "hatching bed". Thousands of oval gray-white biological eggs the size of watermelon sat upright on the hatching bed, one egg and one pit. Each egg has a cross-shaped opening at the top, and a few openings are in a single shape.

The four-person team is not ordinary people. They either use special eyesight to see through, or use their sensing ability to detect energy and particles. Even the iron-blocked head will not lose the IQ and caution of normal people. Naturally, they can find that these eggs are active. The eggs that appear in the pile of corpses will not give people a sense of relief, so Diana said directly: "Do you destroy them!"

"Don't rush to do it. They are indeed very fragile now. The eggshell can be smashed with just one shot. However, I smelled that there are extremely corrosive substances inside the living organisms and eggshells. The things in front of me are both hatcheries and minefields. It is easy to break them, but those corrosive liquids flow everywhere, and the circular pipe will definitely be done. If there is also a space turbulence outside, how can we go opposite?"

"You are an expert in biology. We will follow your advice. If you can paralyze these eggs, it is best, and we can safely pass through them."

"Give me a few minutes to see if I can imitate their shells and learn the key genes that can fight against strong corrosive body fluids." Zhao Mai signaled everyone to retreat and move forward alone. He adjusted his natural force and integrated with the surrounding environment as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the eggs.

This reminded Susan, and she immediately said: "Brother-in-law, I can make everyone invisible, so they can't see us, let alone attack us. What's the solution?"
