Suddenly, there was a violent metal collision sound of the aircraft, and the downward trend suddenly stopped. The three of them sat on the ground by inertia.

Colonel Lance's mech took three steps and two steps to leap over the beast when Mina killed it, narrowly grabbing the plane that was about to crash from the side.

However, the three men did not have time to savor the feeling of escaping death. Ilo was still trying to control the aircraft, and Chen Yan was still concentrating on bandaging. Instead, it was Quinn, who was lying on his stomach, who was the first to let out a hehe giggle from his mouth, "I know...... The boss will save us. ”

"Talk less. Close your eyes and refresh yourself. Chen Yan said stiffly.

"Hey, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Quinn comforted her with a weak voice, and Chen Yan's subordinates kept saying briefly, "Shut up."

Quinn muttered vaguely, tried to make a move, and finally gave up and lay on the ground.

The mech's other hand pinched the sides of the craft and carefully lowered it to the ground.

Colonel Lance's voice rang out from inside the cabin: "Don't come out yet. Ilo, try to contact Lieutenant Donner. ”

Ilo nervously adjusted the equipment.

The aircraft crashed, making it impossible to transport the mech back to base. So if you can't contact the base, in this place where the next giant beast may appear at any time, they are like a steak that automatically serves to the mouth.

Fortunately, the communication device still works. Ilo quickly connected with Lieutenant Donner.

Good news always comes with bad news - Lieutenant Donner's base doesn't have enough aircraft to bring the mech back, and the mech doesn't carry enough energy to walk back to the base, so they can only wait for Asher to send the flying machine.

All he could do was watch for the beasts to invade from a safe distance, and do everything he could to lure them away, making sure the team could wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The deployment of the aircraft and its operators, energy supply, and travel time should be calculated in 10 hours at the earliest. Chen Yan couldn't help but say, "I think we need to explain the situation now: Quinn is injured - can we just wait where we are?"

"Iro, go check if there's a basement in the factory. Chen Yan, report on Quinn's injuries. ”

Quinn's worst injury was in his right leg. If it is sent to the treatment chamber immediately, with the current level of medical development, there will be no problems with the treatment. But now he needs to spend ten hours in this germ-infested environment, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Iloh soon returned. The factory has a fairly solid basement, which seems to have been used as an underground shelter at the time. When the people here were evacuated, there were still a lot of supplies and supplies left behind in the hurry.

Now this abandoned basement is about to become their temporary hiding place.

Colonel Lance's order came over the channel: "Everyone go into the basement, Iloh is in contact with the base at all times." ”

Mina and Adolf stepped out of the mech with worried expressions on their faces and headed straight for the aircraft. Seeing Quinn's injury, Mina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing. ”

Chen Yan looked up in surprise: "This is nothing?"

Adolf pointed sympathetically at Quinn's wounds: "It's really nothing, this kind of injury is a common thing for us. It's nothing that you technologists don't know. ”

It's okay if you don't know. What a flirtatious sentence.

The researchers spent their days hiding beneath Ashur, doing slow-moving research, and occasionally complaining about the rude Special Task Force that didn't succeed in bringing back the latest energy sources.

At this moment, she actually had the urge to apologize for the Academy of Sciences.

With a sympathetic look, Mina took out a roll of gauze and handed it to her: "Wipe it." Chen Yan took the gauze blankly and was about to help Quinn wipe the blood near the wound.

The other party couldn't bear to snatch it and wipe it on her face. Chen Yan stretched out her hand to wipe it, and it turned out that when she didn't know, she was already in tears.

It wasn't until they entered the basement and closed the door that everyone breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to rest.

This basement has no windows and is fully enclosed. Chen Yan took out a file, took out the wires of the old-fashioned light bulb on the roof from the wall, and connected it to the backup power supply in his backpack. After working for a while, I pressed the switch, and the light bulb emitted a dim yellow light.

Iloh whistled and gave her a thumbs up, "Where did you learn that?

Lowering his eyes, Chen Yan put away his tools, "Of course not." This is what I learned from others. ”

Ilo had already turned on the light, opened a folding bed, patted the ashes and lay down, that pleasant expression really didn't look like the basement refuge at all, he held his head in his hands, and said, "That person must be very powerful." ”

She lowered her head and smiled a little bitterly, "It's amazing, but I've only learned a little bit." Hey, why did you just lie down on your own?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said, but he didn't mean to get up, "Quinn will trouble you." ”

As he spoke, Chen Yan also opened a folding bed, carefully wiped the dust on it, and then asked Adolf and Mena to help set Quinn in place.

Chen Yan also found a bed and drank some water from his backpack. The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.

I don't know how long it took, but a feeling of hunger came from her stomach and pulled her out of her sleep. Looking at the time, three hours have passed.

Adolf's snoring was heard next to him, and the guy slept on all fours. Chen Yan lay down and had a spare bed, and he was about to be unable to fit this burly special soldier.

She stepped out of bed and checked on Quinn. It could be that the wound was infected, and his body began to have a high fever. She quickly pulled out the fever-reducing needle and injected him with a tube. Chen Yan didn't dare to go to sleep anymore, she had to guard this sick number, so as not to have an accident.

He touched his stomach and gritted his teeth and pulled out a compressed biscuit. It's not that they don't have enough food, but each person is equipped with the standard amount of emergency supplies for a day, including water, food, medicine, etc.

Their food is still sufficient, but the problem is that although the energy of compressed biscuits is enough, the taste is very miserable.

In order to conserve her strength, and to relieve her hungry and colic stomach, "It's not worth starving here," she muttered quietly, tearing open a bag of compressed biscuits with a strong expression on her face, and swallowed it in small gulps.

Finally got rid of the biscuits, and Chen Yan began to doze off again. But thinking that there was still a sick number to take care of, he forced himself to sit at the foot of Quinn's bed.

Just as she once hit her head on the leg of the bed, Colonel Lance's voice suddenly came from the silent space: "I'll take care of Quinn, you go and rest." ”

In an instant, Chen Yan was sober. Colonel Lance hadn't been sleeping, and she looked over and found that the other might have been resting with his eyes closed. The thought that the self-talk she had just said might have been, oh no, certainly heard by the Colonel, was like she had gotten under the bed.

She wasn't sleepy at all.

"Colonel Reims, thank you, I—I'm not sleepy now, I can't sleep." Chen Yan had a bitter face, feeling that the awake colonel was an artifact that improved his mind, "You can continue to rest." ”

"In that case, I'd like to ask your opinion", but the artifact didn't want to rest at all, so it started the question session, "About the evolved structure of the giant beast this time." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yan immediately sobered up. "Its flight structure should not have been there before," cautiously pondered the wording, "or we would have discovered it long ago." Then the behemoth must have evolved. ”

"Why did they evolve this structure?"

"After the giant beast came to the earth, there were almost no natural enemies", Chen Yan thought about it and decided to smooth it out from the beginning, "It's almost like a dinosaur suddenly descending on the earth." Their only enemy is the mech. Mechs are able to compete with them at altitude and have the ability to fight them. Even later, mechs could kill them on the ground. As a result, they need to survive at other heights. ”

"So, the behemoth evolved wings that could fly. ”

"It's just a guess after all. If we follow the evolutionary point of view, it takes thousands of years for genes to evolve, and they evolve wing membranes too quickly. ”

"We need to look at it here. ”

Chen Yan pondered and meditated, "How to study it? It's really inexplicable......

She scratched her ears and scratched her cheeks and thought about it alone, and it took her a moment to realize that this was Colonel Lance's question for her, and she should ask him.

But the colonel seemed to be asleep. Chen Yan gently probed, "Colonel Lance, are you asleep?"

No response. She had just thought so clearly, but she fell asleep quickly, and she felt that Colonel Lance's brain must be different when it came to sleep. It is said that the brains of great men are different, but unfortunately there is no opportunity to study them one by one.

…… Cerebrum......

Any function of an organism is governed by the brain. Since the evolution of the behemoths does not conform to the theory of genetic evolution, could it have something to do with their brains?

No one had ever proposed to study the brains of giant beasts before, thinking that they were a bunch of simple-minded, well-limbed destroyers, perhaps with pitifully small brain sizes.

But now that the facts are in front of us, perhaps their brains are the key to solving the problem.

Chen Yan patted the edge of the bed excitedly. Quinn was startled and grunted in dissatisfaction. Almost forgetting the sick number, she quickly tested her temperature. Thankfully, Quinn's body temperature had finally dropped a bit, thanks to the sturdy physique of their group.

"Thought of a solution?" said Colonel Lance coldly.

Chen Yan: ...... I didn't fall asleep, so why didn't I squeak just now.

"Just a preliminary idea. Colonel, I'm asking to bring back the brain of this giant beast to study. She said this with a little trepidation. No one has ever done that.

After a few seconds of nervous silence, Colonel Lance said slowly, "The application has passed." ”
