Section 15

"Keep tracking with adults as the target."

"No. 1 goes forward, No. 4 follows ......"

“…… Unit 3 confirms the visual signal of the target and is modeling the target in 3D......"

"Unit 2 is so ahead of its time! Watch the speed! ”

"The target enters the basin ahead...... The visual signal of the target disappeared......"

"My lord, how is the target?"

“……”

Chen Zheng was silent for a while, then pressed the microphone on his chest and replied: "It has entered the crypt, I can't see the situation inside, is there any equipment on the drone that can detect the terrain of the cave?" ”

"No, but I have ultrasonic prospecting equipment on my snowmobile, which can also detect cave terrain." The voice of the man with glasses cuts into the channel.

"Good."

Chen Zheng is very satisfied with the work of the glasses man, the tradition of the glasses man is to be diligent, loyal and loyal to assist the strong, in a sense, as long as they ensure that they continue to be strong, then they are more trustworthy than Lao Xiadu.

"Dispatch 20 drones to deploy in the places I marked, and notify me in time if there is any abnormality."

After speaking, Chen Zheng thought for a while and then said, "Glasses, ask your people to come here with prospecting equipment before dawn tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes......"

In the channel, everyone received orders one after another.

Chen Zheng took one last look at the inconspicuous crypt and turned to leave. With the monitoring of drones, that thing is not a threat for the time being, but another thing makes Chen Zheng a little uneasy.

Blackskin...... How was he parasitized?

The large hole in the abandoned camp must have been plugged up a long time ago, and the Empire's pursuers were routed in a short time......

The Black Skins must have been parasitized in such a short period of time between the arrival of the Arashi and the end of the battle.

With doubts in his heart, Chen Zheng came to the abandoned camp again.

After experiencing countless baptisms of war, the abandoned camp has long since lost its former appearance, and even Chen Zheng, who caused all this, can't recognize it.

However, the carbon marks left by the previous burning of wood made Chen Zheng redetermine the coordinates, and according to the impression in his heart, he once found the place where Roshan used to be - the filled crypt was still intact and did not appear to have been damaged in the slightest.

Not here.

But where is it not?

Chen Zheng returned to the campfire where the refugees had originally gathered, and carefully observed whether there were any caves on the ground that had been dug by Zero...... However, he didn't find the cave, but he found another thing.

A charred bone.

The owners of these bones were those star thieves who were with Scar, and they were infected by Zero and turned into zombie-like beings, and Chen Zheng vaguely remembered their madness that was not afraid of death......

However, they were eventually killed by Chen Zheng, who gathered the corpses together to prevent infection and burned them clean along with the rest of the abandoned camp.

Just as Chen Zheng left these bones and was about to look for other clues...... He suddenly remembered that the black skin was wearing a skull around his neck as a decoration!?

Do you say!?

Chen Zheng suddenly held his breath, flickered away from the place where the bones were all over the place, pressed the microphone on his chest and said, "Glasses, have you set off?" ”

"Not yet, sir."

"It just so happens that I need a set of protective suits, a vacuum box, a microscope, and everything you can think of."

"Epidemic prevention? My lord!? The man with glasses was shocked.

"That's right...... Hope I'm wrong. Chen Zheng muttered.

Unfortunately, however, his guess was not wrong.

A charred skeleton lies quietly in a vacuum chamber, and through the microscope, you can see that some translucent cells are quietly shrunk in the honeycomb structure that was originally close to the medullary cavity in the skeleton.

As soon as the temperature rises slightly, these cells will begin to slowly wriggle like amoebae, slowly burrowing in and out of the medullary cavity, as if looking for something......

However, as soon as blood drip on the bones, those translucent cells go crazy as if they were beaten with chicken blood, attacking not only the cells in the blood, but even their own kind!

As soon as that cell reveals even the slightest weakness, the other cells will frantically tear it apart and devour it.

When the nutrients in the blood are divided, the unknown cells will fall silent again, and finally there will be no signs of life as if they are hibernating.

Chen Zheng witnessed the whole process, and he also saw this scene, as well as the man with glasses and his men.

"What the hell is this!?" Chen Zheng's face was full of incredulity.

“…… A variant of zero delivery? Or is it some kind of ability that they absorbed from other races a long time ago? The man with glasses thought for a moment, and then said:

"On the Star Path, I occasionally hear about the use of bodily fluids to control other races...... Of course, those things are all on remote planets, and there are many strange rumors of all kinds in the corners of the star path, and the credibility is not high. ”

"Now it seems that the activity of these things is very low...... But what if the temperature rises and the snow melts? Will they become active? Chen Zheng frowned.

"Quite possibly." The man with glasses said a little melancholy, "The problem is that we don't have a very good way to inactivate it now. ”

"Then we have to burn it again."

“…… That's all it takes. ”

……

Early morning.

The blazing fire lit up half of the sky.

The bones of the Star Thieves, the dirt under the bones, and the snow covering the bones, were shoveled into a huge pit where they were constantly calcined, and the drivers in power armor were responsible for filling the pit with firewood.

Chen Zheng's plan was to burn it day and night for a few weeks to prevent future troubles.

After dealing with the source of infection, the sky began to light up.

Chen Zheng wore a chemical protective suit, took the ultrasonic prospector to the cave where the black skin disappeared, carefully stuffed the probe into the cave, and then activated the instrument according to the instructions of the man with glasses.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"
