Chapter 108: The search is fruitless
What's going on, why can't I find it?
Could it be that it was eaten?
Or did you escape?
I really couldn't figure it out, so Chen Mulin didn't catch it anymore and returned to the side of the corpse.
Tiezhu was standing next to the corpses, very depressed, although he had lost his memory and was unfamiliar with these corpses, he knew that this was his younger brother and sister.
They were lying there, their bodies shriveled up, and they felt very uncomfortable to look at.
Seeing Chen Mulin coming back, Tie Zhu asked, "Dad, are you looking for my mother?"
Chen Mulin shook his head: "Not yet." ”
After hearing this, Tie Zhu lowered his head again, and his emotions became heavier again.
Chen Mulin comforted: "Don't be sad, since you can't find your mother here, then she should have escaped." ”
Tie Zhu didn't reply, just silently looked down at the corpse in a daze.
"Hey!" Chen Mulin sighed again, he was not in a good mood, but there was no way, after all, there was no conclusive evidence that Tie Zhu's mother was still alive.
In desperation, he had no choice but to study the five corpses on the ground first, hoping to find some clues from them.
Chen Mulin first asked for his opinion: "Tiezhu, can I study your brother's corpse, maybe I can find some clues or something." ”
Tie Zhu still didn't reply, just nodded slightly, which was a promise.
Since he didn't reply, Chen Mulin didn't want to bother him anymore and began to examine the body.
Soon, Chen Mulin discovered the key point.
I didn't pay much attention to the corpse just now, and I didn't feel it because I was wearing armor.
Now a closer look reveals that these corpses are only a pair of skins, as well as skeletons, all the internal organs are missing, and in different parts of the corpses, a thumb-sized hole has also been found.
It reminded him of an animal's way of eating.
That's the spider.
The spider does not have an upper jaw for chewing, so it must first digest the prey when eating, and it has a tubular mouthpart that injects a special liquid digestive enzyme into the prey to liquefy the prey's internal organs, and then feeds by sucking.
And these corpses, the situation is very similar to that of the prey after the spider has been used.
From here, it is certain that the plasma worm has the same feeding system as the spider, and does not directly devour its prey.
Looking at the traces here, because of the size, most of the corpses of plasma bugs are still exposed, and no other corpses of plasma bugs have been found in other locations.
Chen Mulin didn't believe it, with her combat power, she hadn't killed a plasma worm again.
That is, the fighting position did not move.
If Tiezhu's mother had died, the body would still be here, but it would never have been found.
From here, it can be seen that Tiezhu's mother is very likely to be alive, she has broken through and is currently hiding in a certain place to recuperate.
Chen Mulin told his guess, and Tie Zhu finally reacted.
He looked at Chen Mulin and said in a very excited tone: "Really, mom is still alive?"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find it!"
Tie Zhu took Chen Mulin's hand and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chen Mulin.
"Tiezhu, don't worry, this is just speculation" Chen Mulin pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Even if you want to find it, then you have to bring your brother's body back first, right?"
"Okay, take it back first, and then find Mom!" Tie Zhu nodded, squatted down, and picked up a corpse in one hand, which could be seen that he was in a much better mood now.
There were still three corpses on the ground, Chen Mulin had to carry one on his back first, and then like an iron pillar, he picked up one in one hand, and then the two took off and returned to the base.
After placing the body, Chen Mulin returned here with Tie Zhu.
"Tiezhu, you remember, you must bypass those plasma bugs, don't try to take revenge, run away in trouble, remember to keep in touch with me!"
"I see, I'm not going to be impulsive!"
After some exchange, the two began to search in different directions.
The routes they are looking for are all calculated by data, which direction is suitable for escape, and which direction is suitable for avoiding plasma bombs.
Chen Mulin believes that Tiezhu's mother is not stupid, and if she can really escape, she will definitely choose a route suitable for escape and dodge plasma bombs.
Fortunately, Chen Mulin arranged drones on the surface of Mars early, and the bioradar can cover the entire surface of Mars, which is also easier to find.
The difficulty now is that some drones have lost their signals, and they should have been shot down by alien beasts with long-range attack capabilities, resulting in many vulnerabilities in the radar network.
Unfortunately, a radius of several hundred kilometers is exactly where the hole is.
However, no trace of humanoids was found within a radius of several hundred kilometers, which means that if Mother Iron Pillar was still alive, she should still be within a few hundred kilometers.
But things are not absolute, the radiation range of bioradar can only reach a thousand meters underground at most, and it cannot reach the depth of underground space at all, and can only radiate to a few passages close to the ground.
If Iron Pillar's mother escaped into the underground space, she would not be able to find it with bioradar alone.
Now she can only rely on the radar of the battle armor to find it, and if she really can't find it, she really has no choice but to wait for her mother to take the initiative to come out to find the iron pillar.
The radar radiation area of the battle armor has a diameter of one kilometer, and with a flight speed of Mach 2, Chen Mulin quickly searched most of the area in his direction, but still failed to find it.
At this time, Tie Zhu also came with a message: "Dad, is there a situation over there?"
Chen Mulin replied: "I've searched for it all, but I haven't found it yet!"
Tie Zhu's mood was very low: "I've searched all the way, but I haven't found my mother!"
Perhaps because of his eagerness, coupled with his strong physique, he had always flown at the highest speed, so he quickly searched the area in his direction.
And Chen Mulin is not bad, he has almost maintained the highest speed, but it will be a little slow halfway.
After a while, Chen Mulin finally found the entire area, but he still couldn't find Tiezhu's mother.
He connected the communication with Tiezhu and apologized, "I'm sorry, I've searched all over here, but I can't find your mother. ”
Tie Zhu was silent and did not reply.
Chen Mulin stayed in the air and began to think.
Maybe Iron Pillar's mother really hid in the underground space.
Now that many alien beasts have come to the surface of Mars, the underground space is not as dangerous as before, at least not so densely packed with alien beasts.
Besides, the underground space is not all the lair of strange beasts, and there may be a lot of space that is as safe as the "fairyland" where the phoenix egg was found.
As a true Martian, she may know the location of some safe spaces, which may be where they go out and rest.
Anyway, now I have to give up.
