"It's been a long time to search like this." Fang Dong pressed his head, in a day's time, they found almost nothing, the situation at the frontline site was still the same, the number of insects had reached a state of equilibrium, how many were destroyed, how many they came, and they didn't know where they came from.

"I remember that when we found the last motherworm, the wheat was almost ripe, although that time, it was led by the mother-like worm, but the worms did not eat the wheat, and we did not see a colony of pests."

The team members seemed to be quite happy about the discovery of chicken bones, and they felt that they were getting closer to the truth, and they would soon be able to find the female worm.

Fang Dong didn't think so, she put the introduction to conducting science aside, feeling that now that she learned how to command the team, it was better to think about where to find the mother worm.

"If the anomaly found on the first day is chicken bones, it is estimated that in the next few days, everyone's attention will also be on chicken bones." Zhang Wu has seen many examples of this, diverting attention.

Fang Dong nodded. "yes, I also think that even I have been thinking about chicken bones, pests, zergs, what is the connection between them."

"It's possible that there is no connection at all, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's just misled by chance; It is also possible that it was indeed guided; Of course, it is also possible that there really is. Zhang Wu offers several possibilities.

"Isn't that the equivalent of not saying anything?" Fang Dong looked through the previous analysis data with his head down, and the size of the female worms was different.

Five hundred years ago, there was no way to find a pattern from the female-like worms found by Calant, and it would be too difficult to expect a total of five female-like worms to be found now.

"But when it comes to the Pinocchio one, I do know a little bit about its character, it is interested in our civilization and takes pleasure in playing tricks on people." Fang Dong said as he aimlessly browsed information related to the Zerg.

"Hey, where did this picture come from?" A string of white round balls of flesh hung on the wall, and the source of the information turned out to be from the Education Star. "Eggs found on the planet of education?"

Fang Dong zoomed in and saw that these round meat balls were not insect eggs, they were too similar in appearance to the female worm she found on the dove star.

However, eggs appeared on the educational star, before the third female worm jumped from the moon to Pinocchio.

"Master Zhang, can you help me get in touch with the biology laboratory of Education Star?" Zhang Wu asked Fang Dong to call him Lao Zhang, but Fang Dong thought about it and felt that he was a senior, and he still couldn't be so casual, so he called Master Zhang.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Wu also accepted the title. "I've pushed all the information about that picture to you, check it." It only took ten minutes for Fang Dong to receive all the information.

"Thank you." Fang Dong didn't look at the specific data, and he really couldn't understand it, so he picked a few papers under the topic to read.

Since the discovery of this string of Zerg material (first thought to be eggs), there has been no change in appearance so far, that is, it is neither dead nor active, but there has been a very slight reduction in weight.

The dissected material was transferred to the laboratory of the Alliance Insect Research Association, and at that time, the highest laboratory of the Insect Research Association was developing pharmaceutical reagents against the Zerg.

However, the data on the laboratory of the insect research association is not very easy to obtain, and it requires layers of procedures and approval from all parties.

However, Fang Dong carefully checked the research progress and use of funds by the Insect Research Society, and found that before the transfer of materials by the Education Star Laboratory, the project was basically in a state of stable expenditure, and a week after receiving the materials, the use of funds began to increase significantly, until shortly before the birth of the Pinocchio Project.

Fang Dong had a feeling that this insect substance was estimated to be related to Pinocchio, and it was not good to say that it was a mother-like preparation.

"Master Zhang, please send this three-dimensional picture to the sharing, and let you focus on this white meat ball tomorrow." Fang Dong still had to decide overnight where he needed to go to camp early tomorrow morning.

Where did this string of Zerg matter be found? Fang Dong continued to look at the information and found that it was in the body of the slaughtered poultry, because it was stored in the refrigerator and transported into the canteen, so it was not detected in the security check, and the security personnel at that time thought it was an unlaid egg, because some chickens do leave unlaid eggs inside, but generally do not appear in the chickens in this large farm.

"What the hell, can eggs be silicide?" Fang Dong had a headache when he saw it, and he didn't blame the security staff, he had never seen insects since birth.

Finally, a chef found out that, according to him, the frozen chicken was intended to be kept for a few months later, but he happened to see someone trying to steal the bird that day.

"Normally, even if it is, I don't bother to stop it, but since there is a problem with the defense line of the North Base, the children of the education star have not had money to eat meat for several months, and the meat that the logistics department has specially reserved for the children, that guy still wants to steal it, I am not happy, I remember all those numbers, and none of them can be missing. So, I took the box he took away, counted it carefully, yes, but there was a chicken, obviously a little heavy, I felt that it was still in my hand twice, I immediately felt that something was wrong, look, this is not a egg, what kind of strange thing is this, disgusting to death, in vain, I always feel that it is still moving, I quickly reported it to the security department. The chef looked a little happy, Fang Dong almost laughed when he saw his interview, his face was red, and his eyebrows were flexible.

"Master Zhang, accompany me to a place and bring a substance detector." Fang Dong grabbed the light photon knife on the table and stood up.

Zhang Wu didn't understand what the young captain wanted to explore at night, he piloted the flying machine, along the route set by Fang Dong, a planet without satellites, and the night was very dark.

"You don't have to stop so close, just stop here."

Fang Dong put on a mask and jumped off the flying machine, "Master Zhang, give me the tester, don't come down first, if you have any questions, go first." ”

Zhang Wu had heard of Fang Dong's heroic deeds, and he was still willing to believe her in this regard, so he handed her the tester. "I've informed the team on duty to keep them on standby."

Fang Dong turned on the searchlight installed overhead, and walked along the path that had been walked out by the soldiers during the day, and came to a pile of ashes.

The ashes were the group of pests that were burned, Fang Dong took the substance meter and scanned it, and sure enough, it showed that there was silicide.

"So it really has something to do with chickens?" So on the North Base Star and the Education Star, there have been mother-like insects for a long time. Fang Dong felt that this ring was finally about to close, but what about the relationship between pests and female insects, could it be said that they ate the female insects.

The Zerg were named Zerg because they could control the pest swarms brought by the ancient earth and mutated by cosmic rays, and they were not too similar in appearance to the pests.

So even if it's really a pest that eats the mother-like worm, it must be controlled that way.

"Master Zhang, is there a chicken farm in the area we are responsible for?" On the way back, Fang Dong was driving.

Zhang Wu nodded, "Yes, but in the nearest chicken farm, it seems that a batch of broilers has just been slaughtered recently, and they are being transported away after quarantine." ”

"To be slaughtered or has it already been dealt with?" Fang Dong felt that the mother-like insects were more likely to exist in living creatures, but since they had lessons from the past, they couldn't let go of this batch.

"The slaughter was just done today."

Fang Dong was amazed by Zhang Wu's ability to gather information, and then got rid of it to contact the person in charge of the chicken farm to check if there was a white spherical substance in the product chickens.

Because now on the Dove Star, in addition to the last incident, there have been no incidents of the Zerg hurting people, probably because, on the Dove Star, in addition to farmland, there are very few clustered towns, and the personnel are extremely sparse, and it is also because of the installation of defense line sites, many garrisons have arrived one after another. Just love

"The person in charge said that the Zerg substance test has been added to the quarantine procedures."

"Huh?! Replied so quickly? Fang Dong parked the aircraft into the subship.

"As early as when you said that your next stop would be to go to the chicken farm, I was already in contact with the only person in charge of the local area." Zhang Wu took Fang Dong's surprised reaction as a compliment, and stretched his brows.

"When he pays attention, he must stay in the house and not come out, and when we come, he will hear any movement, not even a human voice, and don't open the door." Fang Dong was a little afraid that as soon as tomorrow morning passed, the person would be gone, and the sin would be great.

"Then why can't we go over now, Captain." Adjutant Zhang boldly made a suggestion.

"You're right, let's go, go first." Fang Dong woke up the driver, he had just fallen asleep, and he was suddenly woken up, and he was still a little unhappy.

"Why do you have to pass this point now?!" He may see that Fang Dong is young, and he is not polite when he speaks, with full of grievances.

"Give me your business card." The driver looked at Zhang Wu, who was speaking, and leaned over the terminal respectfully.

"Conduct, I don't think you can get this mission, as for the rest, if you still have this attitude." When Zhang Wu had a straight face, he still looked very scary.

The pilot was deployed from the Ragnarok and came with the subship, probably too long in the relaxed environment on the Ragnarok.

"No nonsense, if it's fast, you can get there in about twenty minutes." Fang Dong also learned to put on a straight face, although she didn't care much about this tone of speech, but she couldn't Zhang Wugang help her set an example, she came to sell the good character again.

Driver's Mind: ??? I didn't speak!

It was the first time for Fang Dong to see such a neat, hurried, high-tech chicken farm.

In the evening, the person in charge knew that after they came overnight, they had to take Fang Dong and Zhang Wu to visit.

"Don't the chickens sleep at night?" Fang Dong was hinting that he already wanted to go to sleep.

"They have to eat a few more rounds a day, so they turn off their headlights later." The person in charge was a fat woman, and Fang Dong estimated that she secretly ate a lot of chickens from chicken farms.

"Do you two need a bowl of chicken soup?"

Although the chicken farm is large and clean, looking at these young chickens pecking rice, Fang Dong can't have an appetite.

"No, have you packed your things?" Fang Dong found that if you smell it carefully, there will still be a smell of.

"Of course." She rubbed her hands together and pointed to the bag covered in flesh.

"Tonight, I wronged you to spend the night on the ship, for the sake of safety."

Fang Dong took her to the door of the sub-fleet, carefully examined her, and after making sure that there were no insect eggs on her body, he took her to the special isolation room of the sub-fleet.

"You can operate and receive the results remotely, right?" Fang Dong confirmed. "If you check for insect substance, be sure to send me a message as soon as possible."

"Okay, no problem!" The fat aunt estimated that she hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and she was very happy from the moment she saw Fang Dong and them, and before Fang Dong closed the door, she still gave a military salute in style.

Fang Dong also solemnly replied.

Early the next morning, Fang Dong rolled up from the bed and hurriedly knocked on the door of the person in charge of the chicken farm.

"Isn't it abnormal?" The person in charge glanced sleepily at the terminal.

"Oh, not really." She rubbed her eyes.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you last night, did your chicken farm have any missing chickens recently?"

The person in charge shook her head, and the flesh on her cheeks shook like waves a few times. "Nope."

"Okay, you can continue to rest, we'll take care of the live chickens." Fang Dong was about to close the door when the person in charge suddenly slapped the door frame.

"Wait, wait!" She held on to the doorframe. "There are a few chickens in the upper batch, and they died inexplicably, and the superiors I reported to me are afraid that it is chicken plague, you know, the virus mutates too quickly, and sometimes it is too late to get vaccinated." She cleared her throat and continued. "Then the quarantine department didn't detect the virus, only said that it might have died of heat, and the temperature regulation system was broken in those two days, and I had a deep image, and then I buried it casually."

"You buried dead chickens? Where is it? Fang Dong admired that she didn't eat it.

"Next to the small house where I live, there is a vegetable garden, you go and see, in the field where cowpeas are grown, I don't dare to eat strange dead chickens, but I don't want to waste it, I think burying it in the soil will make the soil more fertile."

Fang Dong didn't want to listen to her continue to chat, so he hurriedly said thank you and invited her in. Then it's time to get ready to go out.

"Captain, aren't you going to arrange today's work?" Zhang Wu stood on the steps disapprovingly.

"There's still half an hour, I'll take a look first, you can help me plan the area of each team, it's similar to yesterday, thank you, wait for me to come back and the whole team." After Fang Dong finished speaking, he rushed to the hut where the person in charge lived.

After seeing the cowpea, Fang Dong dug up the soil with his bare hands, and sure enough, he found a chicken rack, and also dug up three white meat balls that looked like mothers, but it seemed to be a failure.

Fang Dong pinched it twice, but there was no movement at all, the same state as the one reported on the education star.

Fang Dong put it into the isolation box, refilled the vegetable garden with soil, then patted the soil, put the bag on his back and prepared to leave.

But from the see, in the direction of the sub-ship, a huge monster, rising from the ground, as wide as three sub-ships, it was approaching the sub-ship, the chicken coop had been overturned by it, and the chickens scattered and escaped.

"Let's get out of here!" Fang Dong urgently called Zhang Wu, at this time, everyone should have gathered and brought their equipment, and staying outside the sub-ship could at least grasp the initiative.
