The king walked out of the tent and lit a cigarette.

On this distant planet, tobacco is a rare item, and only a few of them were brought by the Imperial soldiers, and now that it is impossible to connect with the earth, it can be said that one is less than one smoked.

At this time, with Lao Wang's current status, there is no quota for tobacco. What he smokes now is what Lao Xia Yun gave him.

Lao Xia not only has the title of academician and professional counterpart, he can even get the identity of an "uncle" from Chen Limin's side, and his treatment is naturally different from that of the dispensable Lao Wang, and all kinds of supplies on the earth can be said to be open to supply.

can't compare to Lao Xia, naturally he didn't say that his treatment was not as good as Lao Xia. But now his former subordinates are all paid more than him—yes, Chen Zheng, the manager in the camp, is paid!

Thinking that the "executive director" Shen Jianjun, the former big soldier, actually got an annual salary of one million - and it was in dollars! Lao Wang's heart was more or less awkward.

Although it is still a number on the books, once it returns to Earth...... Lao Wang had no doubt about Chen Zheng's ability to fulfill his promises.

Look at the high-tech in his hands! Not to mention the tide gate, let's just say that the value of those four power armors is immeasurable. And the drone, the practical electromagnetic cannon, the magical translation device...... Even the thin but unusually warm clothes are a business that is too big to imagine.

Moreover......

As a bystander, he had just seen clearly: from the pace of the conversation, from the content, and later from the fact that he took off his coat to reveal the protective suit......

That set down was coercive—stating threats, inducements—and the generous pay, especially the last lead soldier, which greatly dispelled the agents' wariness.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or a rhetoric he has prepared a long time ago, although his wrists are still a little immature, but his grasp of people's hearts is just right, and in general, the flaws are not concealed.

"Hoo ......"

Lao Wang spit out a smoke ring, looking at the agents of various countries who were following Chen Zheng one by one, and suddenly had the illusion of watching history roll forward.

……

In the cave, Chen Zheng didn't know Lao Wang's sigh. The reason why he pulled Lao Wang was mainly because he took a fancy to his official background. With his identity as an endorsement, the credibility of what he said is also guaranteed to a certain extent.

This was the first time Chen Zheng had entered the cave, and as soon as he entered, he noticed a detail that he had never noticed in the video before: the marks on the cave wall.

Chen Zheng didn't know how this long cave came about, but he had a general impression that it should have been dug by himself.

However, when he noticed the excavation marks on the cave wall, he realized that this cave was definitely not dug by Zeroji himself, because Zeroji did not have a hard shovel-like organ on his body at all......

“…… Glasses, can you analyze the traces left by this thing? Chen Zheng sent the scratches to the man with glasses.

"Comparing ......"

“…… There is no data, and it should be another special evolutionary form. The man with glasses was busy for a while and replied, "If you can analyze some samples, you can be sure." ”

"Samples?" Chen Zheng was a little dazed.

"Oh yes, you don't know...... In this way, you look around the walls of the cave to see if there are any hard stones or anything like that. If it hadn't been affected too much, there would have been a trace amount of excavated organ powder left on the stone, which can be compared to the configuration and DNA......"

"Alright, I got it." Chen Zheng interrupted the man with glasses, collected a few small stones that looked scratched, and handed them to an agent for him to send back.

After this small episode, Chen Zheng and his party continued to move forward.

At the top of the cave, one after another lights dispelled the darkness in the cave, which was the fruit of Engineer No. 1's labor yesterday. And when everyone came to the "horn mouth", they were shocked by everything in front of them.

In the huge brightly lit cave, huge murals occupy the entire wall, and the vivid colors and vivid characters show the poems of the vast history of the Longhand people in front of many earthlings......

"It's spectacular." A French agent was stunned by all this, and after a moment of glazed eyes, several French people secretly looked at each other, and then tacitly said goodbye.

Similarly, there were a few Englishmen, all of whom had bright eyes, as if they were going to take the mural down and take it away......

…… No, not as if, they can do it.

"How's the Bilouvre?" Chen Zheng leaned over to the Frenchman and said casually.

"Of course it's the Louvre." The French raised their chins proudly, "We have a ...... from the Renaissance bar-la-la-la"

"Oooh." Chen Zheng looked ignorant and easy to deceive...... However, as soon as the French said that they were rising, Chen Zheng suddenly flashed a ghostly light in his hand, and suddenly slashed at the French!!

“……”

The scene was silent.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was a bug......" Chen Zheng kicked the insect shell on the ground that was cut in half and smiled sharply, "...... Elites, don't blame me for not reminding you. There is a lot of danger here, and the threat is not only from the sky, but also from the feet. You must concentrate and do not die inexplicably. ”

Chen Zheng faced the British, but gently patted the French on the shoulder.

The British couldn't stand Chen Zheng's sharp gaze, so don't look over.

“…… Yes, be careful by all means. ”

The French also became well-behaved.

"Good." Chen Zheng nodded, "Next, in groups of two, the principle of teaming is light weapons and flamethrowers, and you will be given 30 seconds to form a team freely." ”

"Wow-"

They are all well-trained people, so it is natural that such an order is not a problem.

"Next, we're going to explore the entire cave, especially the places with the footprints of the infestation, and be sure to focus on the review - I've marked it on the map, and you can always consult the support of the headquarters if you get lost."

"Now, I'm sure you've got the numbers and the mission area, then...... Let's go! ”

For this operation, Chen Zheng specially built 25 improvised versions of personal terminals, and equipped them with light weapons carriers when they were distributed in the past.

This watch-style personal terminal can display their mission objectives, mission areas, and rewards for completing missions - all data is processed by the tarot server and sent to them in real time, which is simple and intuitive.

When everyone scattered in all directions, Chen Zheng himself received the coordinates and area sent by the headquarters, and beckoned to walk towards the target area with Scar equipped with a flamethrower.

Suddenly, his personal terminal rang.

"Adult......" The glasses man's voice sounded in the private channel.

"How?"

"That...... ...... what you sent me before."

"Questions?"

"This ...... Some of the things on and off the walls of the cave looked like the mouthparts of a wedge-shaped pit worm, and the DNA comparison results were also similar to ......" The glasses man's voice seemed to tremble a little.

"Tunnel worms? What is that? Although Chen Zheng didn't know what it was, he heard a hint of uneasiness in the bespectacled man's voice.

“…… The Tunnel Worm is one of the war behemoths of Dark Zug, and it is impossible to appear here! Never here......" muttered the man in glasses.

The Dark Ancestral is known as the Moving Scourge.

Whenever a civilization is found, the war behemoths it produces will flood into that hapless civilization.

No matter how powerful and resourceful that civilization is, the endless beasts of war will always overwhelm that civilization......

The civilizations on the Star Path have no good way to deal with Dark Zuge, and can only use technological means to block all planets that are tidally connected to Dark Zuge.

The last time a civilization was exterminated by Zuge was thousands of years ago, and now, as the means of blocking the tides have become more and more sophisticated, it has been a long, long time since the news of Dark Zuge has been heard on the Star Road.

However, traces of suspected pit worms were seen here......

“…… Can you be sure? After reading the information, Chen Zheng couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Sure."

“…… What is the relationship between Dark Zuge and Zero? Chen Zheng suddenly asked.

"This!?" The man with glasses was stunned and hurriedly went to check, "Wait a minute...... I don't have a report here. My lord, I ......."

“……”

"New discovery! The B3 group found the passage downward! ”

Suddenly, a bulletin sounded on the public channel.

“…… I'll talk about Zuge later......"

Chen Zheng hurried to the accident site with the scar.
