"Isn't it a bug again?" Harris pinched up a little damp gravel and rubbed it between his fingertips.

Fang Dong also squatted down and put the tester back in the bag. "It's unlikely to be insects, they won't fill the hole if they dig it, it's probably a human or a smart machine."

"Master Zhang, bring a wrecker robot here, it's a bit abnormal here." Fang Dong contacted Adjutant Zhang.

Unfortunately, it was hit all the way to the hard unweathered zone, and no abnormalities were found.

"It's possible that something was dug up and taken away." Fang Dong crawled out of the big pit. "Let's mark it first, and let's pay attention to the changes in the terrain in tomorrow's search work."

They've been here for almost a week, and they still haven't found anything. I don't know what the situation is on the other side of the dove, and the three hundred mercenaries on the Gods probably can't find anything.

However, there is good news, the people on the insect research institute test ship told Fang Dong that there is indeed a female worm in the chick she gave her, and the activity is higher than that found in the education star before.

As for the coherent element, that is, the substance that has the ability to connect with the mother insect Pinocchio, it has not yet been found.

Humans still don't know how the mother worm and the mother worm are connected to each other at such a distance, and the insect research institute will name that ability coherent, and the kind of substance that has not been identified so far will be named coherent.

"What? Do you still want to dig it? Fang Dong actually felt that after looking for so many days, it was not easy to encounter the rain that caused the disturbed ground to show traces.

The other three were waiting for Fang Dong to decide.

"Give me the substance testing apparatus, and I'll check the walls of the cave." As soon as he climbed out, Fang Dong jumped down again and checked it carefully.

"Here, there's anomalies, dug up marks. Fill in a portion of the soil first, and then continue digging. Fang Dong dug a little bit with his hands first and made a mark. Let me come up first, will you bury me in it? Fang Dong was caught off guard by the soil that covered his head and face.

As soon as he climbed out, he found that Harris and Eva were both lifted in Amazon's hands, while Zhang Wu's hands were cut by the long back.

"Damn? Both of you? Let go. Fang Dong slapped Amazon twice.

"Oh, we're friends." Fang Dong patted the soil on his hand crampedly, not knowing how to explain the wisdom machine to the three of them for a while.

Harris and Eva didn't squeak, they didn't even have the strength to fight back just now, they were lifted in their hands, and now they are still a little embarrassed.

"Captain, ordinary friends don't appear on a deserted planet." Zhang Wu looked at Chang and Amazon warily.

"It's a bit of a special function, the two of them, hehe, but it's okay, they're all relatives, relatives." Fang Dong pondered that this statement was not wrong, if it weren't for the long, they wouldn't even be able to use No. 172 metal now, but she didn't dare to rashly say that it was a smart machine, after all, most people were still hostile to smart machines now.

The chief may have understood Fang Dong's current mood better, first apologized to Zhang Wu, and then forced Amazon to say sorry to the other two.

"Are you coming to me in a hurry?" In fact, for Harris and Eva, Fang Dong didn't care, anyway, even if they really found out that it was a smart machine, they wouldn't say anything, Zhang Wu knew that it was indeed a little difficult.

"It's useless to find the mother worm, these two planets are Pinocchio's body, when Pinocchio fully awakens, this planet will accelerate, and then this will become another part of Pinocchio, and there is another part, we haven't found it for the time being." Amazon's words made Fang Dong speechless, Gu Xing was inside the new defense line, and she knew what it meant to be separated.

But she still asked in disbelief, "You mean, the mother worm will appear on these two planets soon?" Just like that Pinocchio, the third female? ”

"It's Pinocchio, and this mother isn't a new one, it's Pinocchio, if you want to call it the third one."

"Alarmist!" Zhang Wu didn't know if he had a little belief in his heart, but he had to deny it immediately, as if he hesitated a little, and this matter would immediately become true.

"Look, long, no one believes us, it's useless to remind us. Anyway, the words are also brought, do you want to retreat? If the planet accelerates suddenly, the atmosphere will disperse, and of course there will be more terrible things. ”

Fang Dong believed it, they came here at the risk of being discovered by Noah's Ark, and they must not have come here for pranks. "And what about blowing up this planet? Ruining it? ”

Chang shook his head. "There's no way to deal with the mother, you can only run away. There is no way at all. Blowing up this planet, your energy is useless, it can absorb the energy of your weapons, just like absorbing energy stones, this is why you are so powerless to deal with the monsters on the dove planet, they are all pinocchio pinched out, and they are part of pinocchio. ”

Amazon scratched his head and spread his palms, revealing a real-time image of Pinocchio.

Its fog began to gather again, and soon it would look like Pinocchio at the beginning.

"Three weeks at most, faster than previously estimated, after three weeks, Pinocchio will enter the active period, there is very little you can do now, if you can sample, it must be as soon as possible, as for your education star and capital star, it is best to move all of them to the star field farthest away from Pinocchio." After finishing speaking, he handed Fang Dong a bag of beads. "This is what Captain Thea asked me to give to you, she has already studied the energy beads, although they are still a little worse than ours, but they are better than the existing ones. It's time for us to go, and if we can, come to Education Star once in a week and see each other again. ”

"How did you go, did you bring the flying machine?" Fang Dong was frantically hinting at them not to suddenly disappear out of thin air.

Chang nodded understandingly, and pulled the Amazon away.

"They came here in their own aircraft?" It was only after Harris saw them go far away that he finally dared to open the mic. "I didn't even see them coming."

Fang Dong shoveled the soil by himself. "Keep working, something is going to happen anyway, and before that, it's always right to know more."

Zhang Wu didn't speak until the pit was filled in to the place Fang Dong had just marked. "Don't discuss the identity of the person who came just now, captain, should this situation be reported?"

In fact, when he was working, Fang Dong had been thinking about this problem, saying that he had to say it, but it seemed too much to use the sentence structure of I have a friend. "Dig this hole first,"

Zhang Wu could only jump down to help, for the adjutant, the most important thing was to obey the order, even if he didn't approve of it in his heart.

After digging about 100 meters horizontally, I finally reported that I couldn't dig anymore.

"Estimated females?" The TBM was stuck there, and the video was not clear, but it could be seen that it was moving all the time.

"Don't irritate it just yet. Master Zhang, let the 5th and 6th teams come over, and the others stay in the sub-ship and listen to orders. Eva, you and Harris should also go back first, so that everyone is ready for battle. After locating the location of the dug things, Fang Dong marked the map and passed it to the mothership.

"Hello, Lieutenant General."

"You've found a mother-like worm?"

"It's not a mother-like worm, it should be a female-worm, Lieutenant General Fu Ning, the pheasant and the dove will start to change speed and collide in about three weeks." Fang Dong didn't say who told her, she just stated everything she knew.

"Is the message accurate?" Lieutenant General Fu Ning didn't ask who said it, she immediately thought of Zhiji, she knew that Zhiji and Fang Dong had dealings, in fact, most of the high-level members of the alliance knew about it and acquiesced, and now it was obviously unwise to ask about Zhiji's whereabouts.

"In my judgment, it's very accurate, eight or nine are not far from ten." As long as both sides don't break it, it's treated as if they don't have a smart machine.

"Got it, I'll keep you informed. Sergeant, still complete your mission, until you are notified. ”

"Yes."

The sky darkened and began to get colder. Teams 5 and 6 have arrived, the heavy mechs are headlights, the rain has stopped, and the ground is rapidly drying up. Wenxin School

"Team 5 and I will go to the vertical point, and team 6 will be on standby at the hole below."

When the vertical opening opens, a slow-beating fascia appears in the light.

It made people shudder, Fang Dong remembered that he saw Pinocchio for the first time on Pinocchio's moon, and at that time it still had a lot of tentacles, and it didn't seem to have a strong attack power.

"Listen, now our mission is not to attack it, it hasn't fully woken up yet, we just need to retrieve as many samples as possible and give them to the lab." Fang Dong forbade anyone to use energy weapons. "I'll go down and take the samples first, and when I'm successful, the six teams will go in from the horizontal hole to take the samples, and the five teams will be responsible for holding the ropes and pulling people up when needed."

The hole was not large, Fang Dong had completed the first sampling perfectly, and the scraped minced meat was still jumping a few times in the isolation box.

The mother worm has not yet reacted in any way.

Fortunately, the piece of meat did not attack until enough samples were taken.

Fang Dong wiped a handful of sweat.

A total of fifty-one samples were taken, which should be sufficient.

"Captain, the subship has been attacked and has left the ground. I've sent a flying machine to pick you up. On the way back, Fang Dong received an urgent report from Zhang Wu.

And behind, where they were sampling, the sand was already flying, and a huge, flat tentacle as wide as an oar sprang up, and it slapped towards Fang Dong.

Fang Dong didn't have time to dodge and was slapped to the ground.

"Everyone hand over the sample box to the heavy armor, and the heavy armor will return to the sub-ship at full speed." Fang Dong had just gotten up and was knocked down by another heavy blow.

This time, the speed and strength are not the kind of tricks that are played on the dove.

Ever since he had the battle armor and mechanical arm, Fang Dong hadn't been beaten for a long time.

"I'm ri!" Therefore, power can make people arrogant for no reason.

Fang Dong was not convinced at the moment, got up, and when he found the opportunity, he drew his knife and faced each other, and the cut was cut, but the opening was too small.

And there was another infantryman who was also wounded.

"Light mecha No. 062, go save 051." Fang Dong arranged all the injured team members, and then let go of his hands and feet, trying his best to cut off the flesh on this tentacle a little.

"Captain, we're being dragged down!" Fang Dong was fighting vigorously with the rest of the people, and the three heavy armors carrying the samples were grabbed by the hands that stretched out from the ground.

"Nine teams and ten teams, carrying biological reagents to come down to support." Fang Dong casually called two teams, and at this moment, she found that she couldn't make a very detailed judgment.

"Give up sampling and let's go."

When the craft finally arrived, Harris let it stop just out of reach of the tentacles and picked up the others.

"Sure enough, there is a female worm." Harris already fully believed by what Amazon was saying.

The biological reagent worked, the tip of the tentacle withered, and the heavy mech returned to the subship as soon as it was freed.

Fang Dong saw that the heavy armor was safe and the sample was safe, and he wanted to jump back to take samples again.

Take more things now, let alone talk about it later.

"Dongdong, what are you doing?" Fang Dong had already jumped down, Harris was a little uncomfortable holding Fang Dong's bag, the person who was the captain always went to sacrifice without saying anything, it was difficult for the team members to do it.

Fang Dong spent a lot of effort, and finally got a little bit of meat scrap on his tentacles.

As a result, he was severely criticized by everyone, including the always mild-mannered Eva.

"Personal heroism! Dongdong, you are too much, if the captain dies, it is nothing more than forcing everyone to die with you, who is afraid of death. Eva blamed Fang Dong on the way back to the mothership.

"I didn't think about dying!"

"Last time in Dove, this time in Pheasant." Harris sat with his back to Fang Dong, and Eva turned away.

"Of course you didn't want to die, you just weren't afraid of death." Zhang Wu also expressed his disapproval of this recklessness.

"Say."

No one listened to Fang Dong's digression.

"If Pinocchio appears in the line of defense, is it too late to move the line now?" Fang Dong felt as if it was quite feasible.

Change the location of the site.

Lieutenant General Fu Ning was meeting with Admiral Li Tong and affirmed Calant's decision to establish a southern defensive line.

"If you change sites, the biggest problem is not mobile, but even if one site changes, it will involve the coverage of all sites." Admiral Li Tong shook his head, Lieutenant General Fu Ning obviously didn't quite understand how the defense line worked.

"The situation is getting worse and worse, and when you think about it, the Northern Star Domain is still a safe place." Lieutenant General Fu Ning also expressed concern, she couldn't think of what else they could do to deal with the mother worm if the attack of the energy weapon was neutralized.

The development cycle of new neural reagents is too long, and it may not be successful, and the current reagent can neither be mass-produced nor work on a large scale.

"At least against other Zerg, not the mother worm, we have a stronger bargaining chip." Admiral Li Tong has just received a notification from Captain Thea that the new generation of energy stones can already be put into use.

Fang Dong handed over all fifty-one samples to the people in the biological laboratory.

"Did you have a breakthrough?" Fang Dong couldn't help but ask.

"There are no special discoveries on the coherent element, but the pictures taken by the death squad have made new discoveries."

"Death squads?"

It seems that I realized that I had said the wrong thing. "I'm sorry, I was wrong, they are all martyrs of the task force, and the death squad has humiliated them."
