Section 04 Threats

early morning.

The awakened camp gradually became lively. People wearing different colored work clothes gathered at the food distribution points one after another to collect compressed dry food as breakfast, and then took the dry food to walk to their construction site according to the distributed work type.

People of different colors and colorful colors scattered after passing through the food distribution point. People wearing the same color clothes walked in the same direction, red is red, blue is blue, without a trace of variegation.

This situation is quite spectacular.

However, Chen Zheng had already turned a blind eye to this situation. He poured some salt on the toothbrush, then held a wooden cup in his left hand and a wooden handle toothbrush in his right hand, and stood in front of the public sink and worked hard to clean his mouth.

"Sir, the director is looking for you." George's voice sounded behind Chen Zheng.

"Gululu... Bah..." Chen Zheng rinsed his mouth, spit out the wastewater from his mouth, turned around and came to his senses, "Isn't it better to send an email, why bother with me... He didn't say anything?"

"No." George shook his head.

"Oh, I get it." Chen Zheng wiped his mouth with a towel on his shoulder, and then came to the main account with toiletries.

At this time, a group of people were gathering around Glasses. They were discussing something, but they did not notice Chen Zheng coming in.

"I heard you were looking for me?" Chen Zheng casually placed the wooden cup containing a toothbrush and a salt box on the computer desk, and separated the crowd and came to the man with glasses.

"Yes." The man in glasses nodded and called out a video: "You must check this."

Shown in the projection is a mining video.

Several agents were busy operating the machine. From the picture, they were exploring the floor where the female insect once occupied.

As they were digging, a wall suddenly collapsed in a shaking state, revealing a pitch-black hole.

Several agents looked at each other, carefully threw down the excavator, and tiptoed away from the excavation ground. Follow Chen Zheng's order, he should stay away as soon as possible if he found any strange things.

On the one hand, this is to ensure that Zero Crystal and all kinds of valuable things are not greedy by individuals, and on the other hand, it is to ensure the personal safety of the excavators.

Although it seems that the entire canyon is not at all dangerous, no one knows whether those hateful bugs have hidden backs.

On this closed planet, every human being is the most precious resource, and there is no way to replenish the casualties.

When everyone disappeared, the video ended.

However, the man in glasses did not turn off the projection, but magnified the dark hole countless times. Until the traces on the ground were clearly visible, he pointed to a place and said:

"Sir, look here."

On the ground at the entrance of the cave, there was a row of clear footprints that stretched into the invisible darkness.

"...Have you compared it with the previous footprints?" Chen Zheng looked at the footprints and was silent for a while before turning his head to ask.

"The comparison has been made, this is the information." The man in glasses called out the footprints found by the robot in the mural cave before the female insect exploded, and adjusted the two footprints to the same screen, and then listed a series of comparison data.

"...Is it the same person?" Chen Zheng asked hesitantly.

"The probability is more than 90%." On this issue, the man in glasses has always been very rigorous - he never makes absolute judgments.

"Is it the black-skinned footprint?" Chen Zheng expressed the greatest possibility.

"We don't have black skin footprint information, but judging from the size, size and depth of the footprints, the person who left the footprints is not much different from the black skin body shape." The man in glasses pushed his glasses.

"It seems I have to go there again..." Chen Zheng murmured to himself as he looked at the footprints on the ground.

...

The next morning.

A snowmobile stopped by the canyon, and the agents who had been waiting for a long time gathered at the snowmobile and began to receive their breakfast.

Chen Zheng, the man with glasses and several human assistants he had trained recently, jumped off the other side of the snowmobile and came to the snow sled behind to start unloading the truck.

The snow sledge is equipped with a cleaner, an explorer, and related control equipment and a tent.

One hour later.

The tent has been set up, and the robot and equipment have been debugged and placed at the entrance of the hole behind the mother insect.

"Let's get started."

Everyone stared at the screen, and the two robots started a new adventure again.

"Wait, go to the left and zoom in...stop."

With Chen Zheng's order, the explorer's screen stayed on the cave wall. Through the enlarged screen, you can see that the cave wall was full of neat and regular tooth marks.

"This is the trace left by the tunnel insects before, it is exactly the same." The man in glasses noticed Chen Zheng's gaze and quickly explained.

"So that's the case... He had already escaped from behind." Chen Zheng frowned, "Strange... Why do you feel that his status is higher than that of the female insect? He is just an infected person!?"

The man with glasses was also silent.

"unless……"

Chen Zheng and the man with glasses suddenly met, and they thought of a possibility at the same time:

"Unless he brings something more important than the mother bug!"

“…”

After reaching this conclusion, the entire tent fell silent.

What is more important than a female insect?

Kingworm larva?

Or something more important?

No matter what Black Pi took away, Chen Zheng and the others were trapped in strategic passivity.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves thinking about them. Only those who are thieves for thousands of days do not defend against them. The things taken away by black leather are like a time bomb, but Chen Zheng and the others have no idea where the bomb is, nor when it will explode.

"..." Chen Zheng was silent, not sure what he was thinking. The air in the entire tent seemed to have solidified.

"That... I have some ideas." A man in front of the operating table raised his hand. He was one of the assistants that the Eye Man had recently received.

Chen Zheng looked down and saw that he knew this person - he was the Chinese who had followed Chen Zheng to explore the way, the young agent named Zhang Chao under Lao Wang.

"Oh, you said." Chen Zheng nodded and encouraged.

"I guess the threat we face in the future should be mainly the 'dragon' of that day? After all, the mural also said that..." Zhang Chao saw everyone staring at him, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he simply stopped moving.

"Well, that's right." Chen Zheng suddenly remembered the previous mural.

The legacy of experience left behind by that destroyed civilization is very valuable for reference.

"To record, the threats I can think of now are 'dragon', spore infections and that kind of bug. So we need stronger drones, more complete physical examinations, more protective measures, more complete refuges, and more powerful flamethrowers."

"The robot continues to move forward. If he can follow the clues to track down the black skin, there is no need to mention anything else."
