Lin Shanshan asked Ma Biao to wait, she was going to go down with Ma Biao to find Xu Jiawei, Yang Qi said: "It's better for me and Ma Biao to explore the road first, your spacesuit hasn't changed yet, we are all wearing spacesuits, you can go, you pay close attention to the surrounding movements, if you find the trace of the captain, contact us immediately." ”

"No, the captain said, you and him can't leave at the same time, I'll go out alone. Ma Biao pushed Yang Qi away, closed the car door and left.

The planetary car got out of the spaceship, first drove to the place where they found the plant, and sat in the car to clearly see Xu Jiawei's last footprints through the video, and the place where he slipped was also very clear. There was a pile of red moss next to the car, oh my God, there were a few red animals, he quickly pointed the camera at them, and reported to the spacecraft and the laboratory at the same time: "I found a few red animals in the place where we stayed just now, all of them are quadrangular, there are two relatively large ones about 2 meters long, crawling like snakes, they saw my car, standing up like snakes, fortunately I was in the car, it looked a little scary." Oh my God, the biggest one had its mouth open, and it looked like it wanted to attack me, and it was so wide that it could swallow a person, and it was extremely incommensurate with the body, and the inside of the mouth was red. The others also stood up, suspecting that they were a family, and attacked me together. ”

Professor Shen Wei sent an order, saying, "Don't get entangled, hurry back to the spaceship, and discuss the next move together." ”

Ma Biao followed the professor's instructions and quickly returned to the spaceship.

"It's a good thing you didn't get out of the planetary car, we saw on the video that the animal was fierce. Su Xiaojia said, "You zoom in on the video and look at its head, a square head, with a frighteningly big mouth when it opens, and it looks like it has no eyes." ”

"If you go down, you're going to die. Ma Biao said, "Will our captain ......?"

"No!" Lin Shanshan said, "absolutely not, our captain must still be alive, and we will definitely find him." ”

Yang Qi also said: "I also believe that the captain is still alive, we are going to go down to find clues, he will definitely leave clues for us." ”

"Luo Dongfang, come and see, what's going on?" Su Xiaojia pointed to the monster's head and said, "Look closely, is there a faint red gas coming out of your mouth?"

Luo Dongfang looked at its head carefully, then turned it back, looked at the monster's whole body carefully, and said: "The breath coming out of the mouth is that it is breathing, this animal is also like animals on the earth, it breathes by its lungs, they do not use oxygen to sustain life, the red gas, suspected to be iron ions, they rely on this gas to maintain life." The whole body is smooth, and the eyes are not visible, and they can accurately attack the target, either their eyes are hidden under the skin, or they rely on some kind of sense to perceive the target. They may still have some kind of secret hidden in them, but just looking at it like this, you can't draw conclusions. ”

Lin Shanshan said: "Did you find it, this monster immediately retreated to the edge of the red moss, and it seemed that it didn't dare to go out of this range." ”

"They are territorial, too?" Ms. Su said.

"Life outside the sky is really incomprehensible, and I even suspect that it is not an animal, but a weapon developed by intelligent life. Ma Biao said, "I ask to go down again, to the vicinity of the captain's last foothold, to see if there is any message." ”

"I agree, I'll go too. Lin Shanshan said.

"No need, Shanshan, I'll go down alone, I'll report the situation in time, this time it's closer than the last time, I promise to just sit in the car and not go down." ”

Professor Shen Wei sent an instruction: "Agree with Ma Biao to go down, not allowed to go far, not allowed to get out of the planetary car, and must come back within half an hour." ”

Ma Biao went down again and came to the place where Xu Jiawei disappeared just now, he adjusted the focus of the camera and conducted a carpet search around, ah, there is. He hurriedly reported to Professor Shen Wei and the spacecraft: "I found the circle drawn by the captain on the ground, and after drawing a few circles in place, there was an arrow pointing in the opposite direction, which is the back of the spacecraft, it is likely that the captain went in that direction and asked to track." ”

"Agreed, stay safe, you can drive a kilometer away, but you are not allowed to get out of the planetary car without permission. Professor Shen Wei said. Then Professor Shen Wei sent another command to the spacecraft, "Pay close attention to Ma Biao's planetary car, and force it to return automatically in case of danger." ”

"Understood. Lin Shanshan said.

Ma Biao drove about a kilometer in the opposite direction and stopped, observed the surrounding situation, and found that there was a canyon not far away. After driving about 100 meters, I heard a call signal, but I couldn't hear it clearly, "Professor, are you calling me?" ”

"Ma Biao, what did you hear? I didn't call you. Professor Shen Wei said.

"Oh, that could be the ship calling. Ma Biao switched the signal to the spaceship, "Shanshan, what did you just say?" I can't hear clearly. ”

"No, I didn't call you. Lin Shanshan said.

"Ah, there is another signal, but it is very weak, it is not the captain's signal. Ma Biao said in surprise.

"What, what, captain has news?" Lin Shanshan was also surprised.

Ma Biao switched the signal to the laboratory: "Report to the professor, I suspect that this signal is from the captain, but it is very weak and I can't figure out the direction." ”

Professor Shen Wei was also pleasantly surprised when he heard the news of Xu Jiawei, he said, "Can you tell me more details, including the environment on the side?"

Ma Biao opened both passages and reported to the professor and the spacecraft at the same time: "I had just walked out of the range of one kilometer, and I received a very weak signal, there was a high mountain in front of me, and a canyon below, I don't know how deep the canyon is, and it hasn't passed yet." ”

The professor said, "You go back a little bit and try to see if there's a signal." ”

Ma Biao stepped back about a few dozen meters and said, "I can't hear it, I judge that it is in front, it is likely to be in the canyon, please follow the signal to drive forward." ”

"Agreed. The professor immediately approved.

Ma Biao cautiously drove in the direction of the signal, and the stronger the signal became in the direction of the canyon; "Report professor, the signal is much stronger now than just now, but I still can't hear clearly, and it can be concluded that the signal source is in the canyon." ”

"Good. Professor Shen Wei immediately ordered: "Ma Biao quickly returned to the spaceship, and Lin Shanshan was ready to set off with Ma Biao to find Xu Jiawei and bring the necessary defensive weapons." The spacecraft is ready to evacuate, and as soon as the personnel are in the air, it will leave as fast as possible and fly to the next target. ”

Everyone was very happy to find Xu Jiawei's traces, and hoped that he would come back as soon as possible, and everyone acted immediately after receiving the professor's instructions, Lin Shanshan put on a spacesuit, and Ma Biao quickly returned to the spacecraft to pick up Lin Shanshan, and set off immediately with defensive weapons. Yang Qi's spacesuit has not yet been taken off, in case there is a need for support, he can set off quickly, he asked Zhou Wenbo to return to the cabin to prepare for liftoff, Su Xiaojia cooperated with Zhou Wenbo to plan the evacuation path, and Luo Dongfang was ready to give the necessary inspection as soon as he picked up Xu Jiawei.

Ma Biao and Lin Shanshan drove the planetary car just out of the range of one kilometer, Lin Shanshan felt a weak signal, she carefully identified the direction, and signaled Ma Biao to drive slowly according to her command. The signal is getting stronger and stronger, just in the canyon, the planetary car stopped, Lin Shanshan asked what was going on, Ma Biao said that there was a hurdle to wait, he pressed the next button, and a springboard was stretched out under the planetary car to the opposite side of the hurdle, and the planetary car passed safely, and the signal became weaker after driving forward for a while. Lin Shanshan asked the planetary car to stop in place to detect the signal, Lin Shanshan tried to call Xu Jiawei, and immediately responded when she exhaled, although it was very faint and she couldn't hear the sound clearly. Lin Shanshan was excited for a while, and immediately reported to the professor: "I felt Xu Jiawei's reply, but I couldn't hear it clearly. ”

"Good, keep searching. With Xu Jiawei's exact news, Shen Wei's heart also relaxed a lot.

Lin Shanshan exhaled for a while, calmed down and listened carefully, but still couldn't identify the direction, he asked Ma Biao to go further and drive slowly in the direction of the canyon. After driving for about 200 meters, the signal is gone. Could it be that Xu Jiawei is not in the canyon?

"Shall we try to go back, I also feel that the signal is a little strong just now, and it is no longer when I drive forward. Ma Biao said.

"Okay, let's go back the way we came and try again. Lin Shanshan said.

When he returned, the signal was there again, and Lin Shanshan continued to call Xu Jiawei, and they all felt his reply. The signal is strongest at the edge of this hurdle, and the signal slowly weakens when it crosses this hurdle.

"Could it be that the captain is in this hurdle?" Lin Shanshan and Ma Biao said at the same time.

The two drove to the side and used the camera to take a closer look at their surroundings. The ridge was about two meters wide and seemingly endless, but it was actually a long crack, and the surrounding ground was rusty red with red moss. Lin Shanshan's eyes were sharp, and she said, "Ma Biao, what do you think it is?"

"Do you see the captain?" Ma Biao's eyes lit up.

"No, if you look closely, on the right, about 200 meters. ”

"Water?!"

"Yes, a lake. ”

Lin Shanshan immediately reported this astonishing discovery to the professor: "Professor, we found a lake, the area is not large, calculated, less than 0.5 square kilometers, but the color of the water is red, we decided to go over and have a look." ”

"Agreed. The professor said.

They adjusted the direction to the lake, and Lin Shanshan asked to open slowly, and she had to carefully capture the signal. The further you go to the lake, the stronger the signal!

"Ma Biao, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, but I couldn't hear it clearly, and the signal was getting stronger. ”

"Captain, where are you? Lin Shanshan kept calling Xu Jiawei.

They drove to the edge of the lake, which was a red lake, and the surface of the lake was calm, and it was not a lake from a distance, and it was not a lake that was the same color as the surrounding surface, and the moss around the lake was the same as the surface.

"Will the captain be in the lake?" they said at the same time.

"The signal is strong, the captain must be in the water. Lin Shanshan said.

"I'll take a look at the depth of the water. Ma Biao said about the manipulator instrument, and soon a set of data was displayed on the screen, the water depth was 1.9 meters, the composition of the water was iron and oxygen, and there was an element unknown.

"This water is made up of three elements, one of which cannot be found on Earth and cannot be calculated. Ma Biao said.

"You go over the underwater situation to see where the captain is trapped, and I keep in touch with the captain. Lin Shanshan said.

Suddenly, a monster surged up on the surface of the water.
