The black-skinned and skinny-skinned monkeys, who had been patrolling for nothing, returned to camp.

After more than half a month of construction, the seaside camp has changed a lot.

Rows of neat wooden houses have replaced the cluttered tents, and slag-paved pavements have replaced dirt paths, connecting the buildings.

When the two of them returned, the chimney of the hut was emitting curling green smoke—a fire that had been raised in advance to keep the heat warm for the night. The underground of the wooden house is paved with hot smoke channels, and the hot firewood along the way can keep dozens of people warm for a night.

On the site of the big tent of the man with glasses, a tall wooden building was built to replace the original big tent.

With some layers of authority, this place gradually became the center of the entire camp.

All sorts of assignments were first ordered from here, and some agents were here to monitor the mining of the captives, Scar and the four of them were also stationed here, and finally Lao Xia and the glasses man and their research center were also in this building.

Although the original tent has been replaced by the tall wooden hut, it is customary to call it the "main tent".

The one-eyed dragon and the skinny monkey walked directly through the camp to the monitoring hall on the first floor of the main tent.

The monitoring hall was originally designed to monitor captured imperial soldiers through drones, and later gradually added various detection methods around the camp, and the increase in personnel and authority made the monitoring hall officially an extension of Chen Zheng's eyes.

"Coming back? Great work. ”

When the two walked into the monitoring hall, Chen Zheng's voice first came to mind.

"......" The cyclops nodded, holding his helmet and standing to the side. The skinny monkey originally wanted to say something, but unfortunately saw that Chen Zheng's face was a little dark, and decisively suffocated the words that were not nutritious back into his stomach.

Chen Zheng frowned.

In fact, he had expected the results of the two of them on their previous patrols. It is not so much that the two of them are going on patrol, but that Chen Zheng wants them to test whether the monitoring system is working properly.

However, the results show that the entire monitoring measures arranged by Lao Wang's subordinates, including video cameras, infrared probes and some alarms, are very decent, and every move of the one-eyed dragon and skinny monkey just now can be said to be under control.

But the more he proved the reliability of this system, the more Chen Zheng felt a little chill in his heart......

This shows that there are no errors in the previous video files and surveillance materials.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng couldn't help but open the previous abnormal video again and watch it again:

In last night's night vision surveillance, gray snow and tree bark were faintly visible on several black-and-white screens.

Suddenly, a sneaky figure appeared on the screen.

Judging by his clothes and hairstyle, he should be the Malay who disappeared before.

He seemed to be looking for something, and looked left and right in the forest for a while and found nothing.

The night temperature of the barren star is very low, and the Malays are shivering, putting their hands to their mouths and breathing, as if waiting for something.

And then...... The unthinkable happened.

The Malay was suddenly stunned, and then the whole person disappeared from the screen at a breakneck speed! It's as if he was a rag doll who was dragged on a rope, and the child on the other end of the rope was violently pulled out of the field of vision of the monitor!

At the same time, the Malays' infrared signatures also disappeared, and only the readings of the life detector showed that the Malays left the camp at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, disappearing from all surveillance instruments in just a few seconds.

"Hell ......"

Looking at the strange scene on the screen, the skinny monkey couldn't help but shiver.

The other people who watched the video together couldn't help but stand on end after seeing this scene again.

"Since there is no problem with the monitoring equipment, the problem must be his." Chen Zheng nodded at the missing Malays on the screen, especially the one in the surveillance, as if he was waiting for something.

"Shen Jianjun, you go find a Malay to investigate again, especially those accomplices of the black skin before, they may get the same information......" Chen Zheng thought about it for a moment and ordered.

"Yes." Shen Jianjun took the order and left.

Originally, he was just a soldier under Lao Wang, but after the Black Skin Incident, he was promoted by Chen Zheng to the top administrator of the entire camp, second only to the four Star Thieves, the five researchers, and Lao Xia.

"Whatever that is, it should come again." Lao Wang, who was standing in the corner, suddenly interjected.

In fact, Lao Wang's current position is very embarrassing, although his original subordinates still respect him very much, but because Lao Wang asked them to strictly obey the rules, they gradually became more accustomed to obeying Chen Zheng's orders.

Due to Chen Zheng's dislike of seeing him, the entire camp leaders were a little estranged from him except for Lao Xia. And Lao Xia plunged headlong into the related technology of the tide gate, so that no one in the high-level could speak for him.

In fact, Lao Wang also suffered a lot of unfair treatment - he used to drink paper-flavored porridge with the Malays, worked like an ordinary refugee, and slept in a chase bunk...... And suffer from the white eyes of the star thieves.

However, he took it so calmly that he even gladly accepted it...... This also made the star thieves who had never seen what the "gentleman's style" was, and had a good impression of him.

It is precisely because of Lao Wang's free and easy attitude that Chen Zheng gradually accepted him again, which gave him a place in his "main account".

"Oh? How so? Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Intuition." Lao Wang's answer was very heartfelt.

“……”

"We have too few clues now, but judging from his expression, it is obvious that he was tempted by something, otherwise he would not have run to the edge of the camp in the middle of the night against the cold wind."

Lao Wang walked to the front desk and pointed to the picture for analysis.

"The method of taking him away is bizarre, but if we strip out the irrational parts of the whole thing, we can know the core of the matter...... Whatever that thing is trying to do, its purpose is likely to be simpler. ”

"What do you mean...... It's just trying to rob the people in the camp? Chen Zheng frowned.

"yes, so I said...... It should come back. Lao Wang nodded.

"Hmm." Chen Zheng fell into a long thought.

Judging from the whole thing, it is indeed a simple purpose. But the weirdest part of the whole thing is that it ...... How did the thing that stole the Malays lure him out?

Language?

Conscious?

Or something else?

Whatever it is...... There must be a certain amount of wisdom in it.

Don't...... What other intelligent beings on this planet did not know about Chen Zheng and that the star thieves never knew existed?

Or rather, what remnants of the Empire have not been cleaned up around the camp?

Whatever the outcome, the problem represented is definitely not small.
