In the expedition vehicle, Chen Zheng and a group of people sat in the laboratory, and the holographic projection on the test bench was playing the previous battle between the hammerhead monitor lizard and the corrupt behemoth. Although they had seen the footage taken by the drone before, when they revisited it again, the shocking feeling was not diminished in the slightest.

"What do you think?" Chen Zheng clasped his hands on his chest and looked left and right.

To his left are researcher Lunata, the one-eyed dragon, the driver and the communicator, and on the right are two groups of 4 expedition teams, including Chen Zheng and the one-eyed dragon, the expedition team is three groups of 6 people - this is the standard configuration on an expedition vehicle.

If Chen Zheng is not counted, the person who has the right to speak in the entire expedition team is naturally Lu Nata, who is a researcher. Chen Zheng glanced around and no one spoke, so in the end, his gaze naturally stopped on Lu Nata's body.

"What do you think, Lunata?"

"This ......" Lu Nata frowned, looked at the projection and stopped talking for a long time, and finally shook his head, "There is too little information, and we can't contact the headquarters now, so I don't dare to make a judgment with the current conditions." ”

"Hmm." Chen Zheng was noncommittal.

For the spectacle man's race, if there is no certainty, there will be no definite result at all, and sometimes there is even very little guessing.

On the one hand, this is the rigor common to their entire race, and on the other hand, they may also be afraid of taking responsibility......

Since even the most professional people dare not speak, others naturally do not say much...... Chen Zheng's gaze wandered, looking at the repeated projection and not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, we still have to contact the base first, right?" Seeing that Chen Zheng was silent for a long time, the one-eyed dragon couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Well, the expedition vehicle turns around and we head back. In addition, the drones are asked to step back in turn until drone 10 receives a new signal. Okay, let's go and rest first. ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand, and the driver and communicator returned to the cab, and the others also left the laboratory in twos and threes, and found a place to rest by themselves.

“……”

Researcher Lu Nata looked at Chen Zheng, who was leaning to the side and did not speak, and lowered his head and began to sort out the data collected today. All newly discovered species are numbered and accompanied by appearance data and compositional information.

This kind of work is tedious and boring, but there is no sense of anxiety in the way of Lunata.

Chen Zheng had already discovered that several people of their race were very patient, and they were especially good at dealing with trivial matters. However, for the environment in all senses, its adaptability is often insufficient or even poor.

“……”

The one-eyed dragon also leaned against the table next to him with his gun in his arms, pretending to sleep.

Chen Zheng was very impressed by him, although he usually didn't talk much, but he was relatively good in terms of loyalty and ability to do things, and even his combat effectiveness was very good, and his force value was second only to Scar.

However, although the one-eyed dragon can do many things, there are still his shortcomings after all, even if he is promoted to a certain high position, it is estimated that he will not be able to wrestle with the cunning character of Lao Wang.

"Alas......" Thinking of this, Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.

The ancients did not deceive me.

"Your Excellency?" When the one-eyed dragon heard Chen Zheng's voice, he quickly opened his eyes and asked.

"It's fine, just thinking about it...... Something in the base. Chen Zheng waved his hand, "I'm very worried about some people......"

"Are you worried that someone will disconnect from the communication?" The one-eyed dragon was stunned.

"No, not in this regard." Chen Zheng shook his head.

There is not even a tidal gate in the base, and even if some people want to make trouble, now is not the time - they will not be able to escape from this planet anyway, and sooner or later they will be caught and crushed to death by Chen Zheng.

"That's?" The one-eyed dragon asked.

"There is a lack of administrative talent." Chen Zheng was calm.

"......" The one-eyed dragon thought about it and decided to shut up and not continue the topic...... Because he knew that he couldn't help at all in this regard.

"By the way, I think you have something in mind? Why don't you talk to me? Chen Zheng pointed to the holographic projection that was still not turned off and said.

"This ...... I'm just guessing. The one-eyed dragon said a few polite words, and when he saw Chen Zheng motioning for him to continue, he slowly said his thoughts:

"You see, we haven't seen any signs of corrupt creatures all this way, have we?"

“…… Right. Chen Zheng thought for a while, looked at the animal specimens that had been marked with numbers 1 to 24, and nodded.

"I guess this is the hammerhead lizard's sphere of influence?"

"Oh? What does its sphere of influence have to do with Corrupt creatures? Chen Zheng suddenly stood up, obviously interested in this speculation.

"Wait, I'm not done yet......" The one-eyed dragon waved his hand and continued to sell the guanzi, "You say, that lizard doesn't look like a normal creature, right?" ”

"Of course." Chen Zheng shrugged.

The hammerhead monitor lizard's completely mismatched pincers were obviously not born with it...... Or at least other hammerhead monitor lizards shouldn't have this weird-looking weapon.

“…… And along the way, we have encountered a lot of normal creatures, and their attitude towards corrupt creatures is avoidance, even if large carnivorous creatures encounter small and medium-sized corrupt creatures, they will retreat for fear that they will also be infected. ”

"But that strange monitor lizard is not like that, it's strong, of course...... However, judging by its last careful avoidance of the flesh of the corrupted behemoth, it was also afraid of being infected. ”

In this case, it still risked its life to take out the Corrupt Behemoth, and skillfully pulled out the Zero Crystal from the Corrupt Behemoth...... When I saw that, I thought, it must have killed more than one corrupt creature, right? ”

"Yes." Chen Zheng agreed.

Indeed, even when he fights corrupt creatures, he is very careful not to let them have a chance to come into contact with him - each time he wears a hazmat suit and a filter mask.

"So ......"

Without waiting for the one-eyed dragon to finish speaking, Chen Zheng reacted: "...... So there weren't any corrupt creatures around here, because they were all hunted by the monitor lizard. ”

"Yes, that's what my first reaction was when I saw that monitor lizard dissecting the corpse."

"So......" Chen Zheng said halfway through, and suddenly frowned, "...... The monitor lizard is certainly not in the same camp as the corrupt creatures and the bugs......"

"Faction?" The one-eyed dragon was stunned.

"Well, I've met a creature very similar to this monitor lizard before." Chen Zheng pulled a blank piece of paper, closed his eyes and recalled the appearance of the giant strange fish, picked up a charcoal brush and painted.
