Chapter 191 It Couldn't Sit Still Anymore
Horii's eyes widened suddenly, his gaze filled with shock and sudden realization.
He stared intently at the examination report in his hand, as if trying to find more clues to confirm his earlier speculation.
"If that's the case, then the problem is serious." Horii's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, revealing his worry. "It pretends to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen to gain our trust, but in reality, it's secretly absorbing electrical energy. But what is its purpose in doing this?"
Lin Yeming's expression was solemn, and he shook his head slightly: "Its ultimate purpose is still unclear, but what is certain is that it has no good intentions. Just like the Ebloon cells, once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Horii stood up and paced back and forth in the cramped space, muttering to himself as he walked: "No, we have to tell the captain about this discovery right away and have headquarters reassess the threat level of this alien life form."
Lin Yeming also stood up and stopped Horii: "Don't rush. We don't have any solid evidence yet. These speculations alone are not enough to convince the higher-ups."
Horii stopped and said anxiously, "What should we do? Are we just going to let it hide and cause a disaster?"
Lin Yeming pondered for a moment, then calmly said, "We need to gather more evidence. From now on, we will secretly monitor it in all aspects, especially its energy absorption and conversion process. We must figure out exactly how it works."
"Or, let's just use a trap to catch them like turtles in a jar."
Horii was somewhat surprised and asked, "Trapped like a turtle in a jar? How does that work?"
Lin Yeming: "Do you remember the other system I asked you to develop?"
Horii paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "You mean that system that can control the entire base?"
Lin Yeming nodded, his expression calm: "That's right, that's it. We can use this system to set a trap for alien life forms. Doesn't it need to absorb electrical energy? We'll deliberately let it succeed..."
Horii stroked his chin, pondering as he said, "That's one way. But what if it doesn't fall for it? And even if it does come, given the energy it's displayed, can we really trap it?"
Lin Yeming's gaze was firm: "It will definitely come. Judging from all the previous signs, it has a strong desire for electricity. Faced with such a tempting energy source, it will be hard for it not to act. As for whether we can trap it, this system has been improved many times and, in theory, can restrict its movements for a short period of time, giving us enough time to obtain evidence."
Horii frowned, still somewhat worried: "But the risk is still considerable. If something goes wrong during implementation and it angers it, triggering a counterattack, the entire base and even the surrounding cities could be affected."
As the two were discussing, the lights suddenly went out, plunging the entire base into darkness.
"Ye Ming, you've already made your move?"
Lin Yeming turned on his communicator to illuminate his face and said quietly, "I haven't made a move yet."
"That guy couldn't sit still anymore."
The two exchanged a glance and quickly headed towards the command room.
All the previous assumptions came true; that life form was indeed problematic, and quite problematic at that.
However, they were certain that the other side would first seize the electricity that served as the energy source for their activities.
