The panting Su Chen fell to the ground.

He heard Gao Fei’s familiar voice, “Blood clotting spray and bandages.”

Su Chen looked in the direction that Gao Fei was pointing at.

The person who had been thrown into the door was the worker holding a high explosive grenade.

He was lying on the ground with his wrist cut off. It was probably Gao Fei’s hand.

Seeing this, Su Chen took out a tool from the storage box behind him and treated the employee’s wound.

The employee turned his head and saw Su Chen. He said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

It was unknown whether it was because Su Chen had helped him bandage his wound or because of the shot that Su Chen had given Old Wang.

Su Chen did not answer.

He only finished bandaging his wound silently and then looked at his surroundings.

The air vent above had already been blocked by Wan Ling, who had entered the cabin first. She was leaning against the wall to rest.

Gu Xin frowned and rubbed his lower back. He had unknowingly stuffed a compressed biscuit into his mouth and was chewing it in large mouthfuls.

The other employees also scattered and sat on the ground, panting.

Mark complained and said, “Captain… you almost couldn’t get in just now. You said you saved him…”

Gao Fei glared at him, and he immediately swallowed the second half of his sentence.

He hesitated for a moment and did not speak again.

In just a few minutes, two of his teammates had died. This kind of thing was very normal in the wasteland.

If it was not for Gao Fei, more people would have died.

At the very least, the reason Su Chen and the others were able to sit in the command room and rest while panting was because of Gao Fei.

Gao Fei said, “Let’s get to work. There are a lot of Origin Stones here.”

The command room was not big. A few bodies that looked like they were escaping approached the giant alloy door.

This time, while they were talking, Gao Fei had already checked these bodies. There were no petrified centipedes hidden inside.

“Pa!” With a light sound, the dim lights in the command room lit up.

Mark’s voice sounded, “I’ve connected the energy here, but there’s not much energy left. I can only adjust the brightness to this level.”

At this time, everyone began to observe everything in this cabin.

The command room was only one-fifth of the size of the hall. With a glance, they could roughly see the environment inside.

What was worth noting was that on the right side of the command cabin, there was a group of skeletons formed by a pile of shells.

Su Chen looked carefully and saw dozens of bodies struggling in pain. These bodies should be the crew members of this civilian spaceship.

Above this group of skeletons, there was a bewitching flower that was slowly swaying.

The scarlet petals seemed to be breathing as they swayed gently.

The Origin Stone crystals were scattered around the pile of bones.

“This is the ‘thing’ that Mark and I discovered earlier.” Gao Fei looked at the strange plant with a serious expression.

“Put on your gas masks and start collecting Origin Stones. You don’t have to get too close to the flower.”

Although the root of the plant was small and looked like it could be broken with one cut, Gao Fei did not act rashly.

This plant seemed to have a strange magic power that attracted people to get closer. According to Gao Fei’s speculation, this should be caused by the pheromones emitted by this plant.

In short, stay away from this plant and leave after collecting the necessary materials.

Hearing Gao Fei’s words, everyone stood up. This time, no one disobeyed Gao Fei’s order. They put on their gas masks obediently and began to collect the Origin Stones in the command cabin.

Su Chen stood up and looked at the hall through the observation window of the giant alloy door and the glow sticks scattered outside.

After the explosion of the high-explosive grenade, the body that was originally standing in the hall had been completely destroyed. Broken limbs were scattered on the ground. Occasionally, one or two petrified centipedes could be seen crawling through the remains of the body.

Detonating the high-explosive grenade in such a narrow space did not kill all of those petrified centipedes.

Su Chen frowned. The road that they came from had already collapsed during the explosion. This meant that after collecting the supplies, they could not return the way they came from.

However, they did not have to worry too much about this. In this spaceship, there were all kinds of passageways. This command room alone had three exits.

They would not be trapped here.

With this thought in mind, Su Chen left the observation entrance. He turned around and put on his gas mask. He began to collect the Origin Stones in the command room.

At this time, the workers who had lost one of their hands had also gotten up from the ground and started to prepare for work. The separation of life and death in the wasteland was already a common occurrence.

After experiencing the initial emotional breakdown, there was no more time for the living to grieve.

Mark and the other two workers were investigating and recording the strange plant.

Before this operation, no team had brought back a report that matched the plant in front of them.

These strange plants seemed to have covered the wasteland overnight.

When Su Chen walked toward the Origin Stone crystal, she saw Gu Xin staring blankly at a dead petrified centipede.

“Let’s go. These damn things aren’t too difficult to deal with. At least the weapons we have are useful against them.”

He consoled Gu Xin. Su Chen felt that Gu Xin’s mentality had not recovered from the battle just now.

Gu Xin turned his head with a serious expression and looked at Su Chen. “Tell me, can we eat this thing after we cut it off?”

Su Chen was speechless.

Ignoring Gu Xin, who was acting up, Su Chen began to collect the Origin Stones on the ground.

These Origin Stones were red in color, similar to the one Gao Fei had obtained previously. After being processed by the base’s research department, they could be converted into energy for daily use.

All the facilities in the base were powered by this energy.

This included the vehicles that the group rode on when they were on missions.

Up until now, the humans had yet to thoroughly study the source of the Origin Stones. This strange ore seemed to have appeared on the surface together with the Origin Beasts.

It was also at that time that the humans had evolved.

Su Chen shook his head and cast away the thoughts in his mind.

These things were not his to worry about.

Origin Stones were almost all standard cubic ores. There was only a slight difference in size between the individuals.

The storage box had a custom-made storage space that could store more Origin Stones under the same circumstances.

This was also the reason why even the exploration team’s staff needed gene reagents to strengthen their bodies. An ordinary person would not be able to carry this storage box with one cubic meter of memory for a long distance.

“Everyone, be on alert.”

While everyone was busy, Wan Ling’s voice sounded.

Su Chen turned around and saw Wan Ling carefully crawling on top of the giant alloy door. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her ears were tightly pressed against the giant door, as if she was listening for some movement.

Seeing this, Su Chen also lightly leaned on the ground and pressed his ears close to it.

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

…

A rhythmic sound was heard, and the dust on the ground trembled slightly.

“Looks like that guy hasn’t left yet.”

Gao Fei said indifferently and pulled out his long black knife.

Su Chen’s pupils contracted. The guy that Gao Fei mentioned was probably the reason why these bodies were formed..

That Origin Beast evolved in the spaceship!
