The Sword Squad accepted the mission, which was mainly exploration.

According to Rhodes' arrangement, the sword team will set off from the mobile fortress and head directly to the west - and a Hex engineer named Farrell joined the team, this middle-aged man with half of his body is a body modification device of Hex, who volunteered to join the war, his wife and children were killed in the terrorist attack that came to Kogas, and he himself was seriously injured, so after being seriously injured, he underwent high-risk surgery, completed Hex's body transformation, and was determined to participate in the battle with the Void.

After a brief supply and repair, the Sword Squad quickly set off and headed due west of the Mobile Fortress, where they needed to explore the environment and draw maps, all of which needed to be operated by Farrell, and the other members were responsible for ensuring Farrell's safety and quickly bringing Farrel back after discovering the enemy.

Intelligence first!

……………………

The area where the Mobile Fortress spreads out is a beach, and as the Sword Squad moves west, the coast is quickly replaced by hills and Gobi Deserts—hernias in the ground and crevices in the ground make Acacia's geography particularly harsh.

This harshness is not only reflected in the huge temperature difference between day and night, the desert storms that can occur at any time, but most importantly, the terrain is varied and there are few rules to follow.

Although the current Acacia is almost entirely the Gobi Desert, this Gobi Desert is completely different from the Dasai Desert and the Gobi Desert that is gradually desertified due to the lack of water resources and the scarcity of plants.

In this terrifying area of yellow sand and gravel, only a few tenacious beings are struggling to survive, and the greatest purpose of their existence is to provide food for those void creatures.

The Sword Squad moves very slowly, because Farrell has been doing reconnaissance work on foot, sometimes making maps, sometimes measuring wind direction and speed, and sometimes making standards for certain critters.

On the one hand, this made the exploration range of the sword team continue to shrink, and on the other hand, it also made the package on Yasuo and Wukong's backs heavier and heavier - although the team prepared camels, but unfortunately, the camels could not adapt to Acacia's environment, and fell into madness the next day after departure, and almost attracted the attack of the Void Retreat Beast, and Yasuo had no choice but to finish the camel.

It's very fragrant - oh, it's a pity, it's a pity.

And without camels, a large amount of information must be borne by the people of the sword team, so Yasuo and Wukong, the two people who eat the most, can only be porters.

Carrying a huge package, Yasuo's exposed chest and abdomen were already covered with sweat.

By midday, the temperature in the Acacia Gobi had exceeded fifty degrees, there was no oasis, no shade, and the sword team had to move forward in the scorching heat - stopping to rest sounds like a good idea, but alas, even if they rested, they had to be exposed to the sun, unless they wanted to go underground and play with the Void Worms.

Farrell, who has undergone Hex's body transformation for half of his body, has excellent heat dissipation ability, and part of the circulatory system in his body has been transformed into a heat dissipation device, under the flow of heat-sensitive materials, the heat generated by Hex's body transformation device can be forcibly dissipated to the outside - the principle is similar to the compressor of a refrigerator.

And as Farrell gradually penetrated deeper into Acacia, although the heat dissipation allowed him to be fearless of the scorching heat, it also increased his consumption, and half of his Hex's body transformation device was almost overloaded, which was a huge burden for Farrell.

However, since a new creature had just been discovered, Farrell was in high spirits at this time, so he didn't have time to complain for the time being—he slowly moved forward while attaching a test bench plug-in to his chest, and then began to make specimens as he moved.

"Mr. Farrell." Yasuo, who was really bored and even wanted to blow the shakuhachi, restrained his urge to take out the shakuhachi and tried to distract himself through conversation, "Is there anything special about this time, you seem to be happy?" ”

"Big gain." Farrell seemed to be suffocated, and when he heard Yasuo ask, he began to gush, "I found a special creature, look at this little one, it's not the twisted lizard we saw before, it's a whole new creature. ”

"Brand new creatures?"

"That's right." Farrell's voice began to quicken, "From my dissection experiments, its body structure is completely different from that of a lizard crawling on the ground, it actually looks closer to a mouse or a rabbit or something, and in its stomach, I found something strange, according to previous information, it seems to be called Void Humus or Void Silt - that is, this creature has gained some of the ability to consume Void matter. ”

"Although from the first research results, the Void Humus is the product of the hollowing out of certain substances, being able to eat it is already a very important discovery, and it will be one of the final specimens I will take."

"Look at this little guy, how chic he looks." As he spoke, Farrell sped up the movement of his hand, "At first glance, it is a very clever existence......

Yasuo felt inexplicably nauseous as he looked at the creature with a mouthful of jagged teeth and a sucker on its tongue that seemed to be irradiated rats, and seeing that Farrell seemed to be getting more and more excited, he finally realized that he had found the wrong person to talk to.

And just when Yasuo is getting more and more embarrassed, Goku appears at the right time to help him out of the siege.

"Hey, be careful!" Simi Ape propped himself up to a high place with a stick, and looked at it for a while with his hands on the pergola, "We seem to be in trouble—in the northwest, there are a lot of Void Worms!" ”
