"Captain, look at the reflective spot on the ground in front of you." Long Wu, who was driving, slowed down the speed of the car and pointed to the ground in front of him, which was shining under the headlights.

Lei Ming looked forward, and then the three cars slowly stopped.

The group got out of the car, Lei Ming squatted on the ground, picked up a little with his fingers and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, "Crystal." ”

"Well, it's a little salty."

"Captain, what if you lick it like this, what if you lick it poisonous, even if it's not, what if it's beetle excrement?" Zhang Heng saw Lei Ming's eyes and felt it, so he spoke.

Lei Ming's face suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head viciously and glared at Zhang Heng, "It seems that there is not only salt in front, maybe there is also a lake." ”

"Why?" Zhang Heng asked.

"If the beetle rolls through the salt pile, the salt can't hang at all, and even if it gets stuck in the crack of the carapace, it will fall out quickly, and if it comes out of the salt lake, some pits in the back shell may carry some water, and when the water dries, it will be shaken down when it crawls."

"Okay, get in the car and take a look at the front, pay attention to the vigilance." After Lei Ming waited for Li Yi to explain, he gathered everyone and drove to the front.

After driving for about ten minutes, everyone found a huge underground space, which could only be seen under the illumination of the lights, about hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters high.

"Captain, look at the mapper." Liu Jing found the instrument that had been released for mapping in a corner.

This is where the instrument goes into hibernation when it loses contact with the terminal signal, looking for a landing site and then going to sleep.

Liu Jing turned the surveyor back on, and then adjusted the mapping range so that the machine would not run far.

The mapper flashed red and began to scan the underground space, and the results of the scan were quickly displayed on the carrying terminal, and a three-dimensional three-dimensional image was released.

As the scanning progressed, the 3D picture became clearer and clearer.

More and more holes began to appear in the upper space of the image, and some of the holes contained many forms that could not be distinguished.

"Withdraw to the vicinity of the car." Lei Ming immediately ordered when he saw the image come out.

"Rustle." Soon the sound of insects crawling in the hole above the lake sounded.

Zhang Heng and the others had already retreated to the car, took out their thermal weapons, and pointed at the beetles that appeared in the field of vision under the illumination of the headlights.

"Big mites, pay attention to attacking the head in front."

"Da-da-da-da." Soon, gunshots rang out in the cave.

Most of the guns carried this time were ordinary firearms, with a few Gauss rifles.

The power of ordinary firearms is enough to deal with ordinary beetles, and if you can't beat it, those who still have the ability can play on their own.

Ordinary firearms are mainly less dependent on themselves, unlike Gauss rifles, which require an energy source, and the bullet power is not as weak as before.

After a burst of smoke, the entrance to the passage was already full of insect corpses.

Everyone carefully pushed the insect corpse away and rushed out, and some of the insects that were blocked outside immediately rushed over when they saw people coming out, but they were quickly overturned.

After getting rid of the bugs, the car drove over again and parked at the entrance of the passageway.

Some of the small inspection equipment on the car began to start up under the operation.

Soon the data for the lake water was in.

The salinity of the lake is very high, and there are many other impurities and trace minerals, and of course there is also the excrement of these beetles.

"Everyone should be careful in the lake."

Seeing Lei Ming's instructions, Zhang Heng asked, "Could it be that there are beetles in the lake?" ”

"It's not surprising that it has changed from being invisible to being so big now, so it's not surprising that it can live in high-concentration salt water." Thundering.

The surveyor flew back to the terminal after surveying the terrain here.

"Looks like that's the point of this passage." Bai Yun looked at the three-dimensional diagram.

"Not necessarily, we haven't checked the bottom of the lake yet." Lei Ming shook his head, negating Bai Yun's conclusion.

Now, with the exception of the lake, the underground space has been cleared, and the carcasses of the beetles have been piled aside.

After there was no danger for the time being, the group began to live and cook.

Thanks to the cultivation of plants, the oxygen concentration in this underground cavern has now increased to the point where it can be used for cooking.

After pouring water into the pot and adding dried meat and other items, I finally drank the hot broth.

After eating and drinking, and after allocating the order of rest, soon someone falls asleep, and those who can lie down and sleep here are happy, and in fact almost everyone can do this.

Zhang Heng, Li Yi and Jason were assigned to the first shift.

After the others fell asleep, Zhang Heng sneaked up to the two of them and asked, "Why did you recruit new members in the first place?" ”

Zhang Heng wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but because everyone was not familiar with it, there seemed to be other stories about this matter, so it was not easy to ask, and now after this period of time, after everyone got acquainted, Zhang Heng finally found an opportunity.

Because they were all keeping vigil with Lei Ming before, Zhang Heng also asked himself if he had the courage to ask Lei Ming.

"Ahem, I'm going home and giving birth." Li Yi coughed lightly.

"Huh?" Zhang Heng's eyes immediately widened, looking like I wiped it, this can be done.

Li Yi stretched out his hand to see Zhang Heng's face straightened, and then said in a low voice: "Captain's." ”

"Shhh

This time Jason stretched out his hand, and the two of them really couldn't stand the expressions of this guy, it was too.

"Isn't it, isn't it forbidden here, this relationship between men and women?" Zhang Heng asked in a low voice.

"The base does not prohibit this, but there is also a premise, that is, it can't cause problems in the team due to personal reasons, after all, in this place where birds don't, people always have needs."

After listening to Li Yi's answer, Zhang Heng asked, "There are a lot of such things?" ”

"No, things like going back to have children are generally rare, but there are some." Jason replied.

After this gossip, Zhang Heng began to gossip again: "What about you and Liu Jing?" Got a boyfriend? ”

Li Yi rolled her eyes, "Are you all so gossipy?" ”

"No, no, just curious."

"Isn't that the same? Liu Jing's words seem to have one, but it is not a squad, it is an engineer who stayed at the base. Li Yi replied, and when he saw Zhang Heng's eyes looking at him, he said again: "I don't have it, why don't you try it?" ”

"Ahem, ahem." Zhang Heng hurriedly coughed a few times.

"Last time I heard Bai Yun, you and her boyfriend both know each other?" Jason began to gossip.

"Don't dare to provoke, don't dare to provoke, that man will electrocute people at every turn.".

“。。。。。” Li Yi and Jason were stunned, what kind of operation is this, does Bai Yun like this?

The three of them exchanged some base gossip by the fire, and waited until the second group got up to change people before returning to the car to sleep.
