"This ......"

The man with glasses looked at Chen Zheng's sketch and was speechless in shock.

"Your Excellency...... Can you show me? Lu Nata, who was sorting out the data on the side, naturally also heard Chen Zheng's conversation, and as a researcher who pursued knowledge, he naturally became interested in this matter.

"Give." The one-eyed dragon handed him the sketch.

"This is!? My lord, can you be sure that it looks like that? Lunata looked up and asked incredulously.

"Of course, do you think I'll be mistaken?" Chen Zheng smiled, "When I first came to this planet, I didn't have anything, and I almost starved to death...... Thanks to the big fish of the note, I survived. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zheng patted his stomach.

“…… You ate it!? Not in any way!? Lunata stood up in surprise.

"Or else? Waiting to starve? Chen Zhenghun said indifferently.

"But it'...... Well, your race has a good stomach, I've heard you say that. Lunata shook her head and sat down again.

"How's that, what's in mind?" Chen Zheng looked at the speechless Lu Nata and asked.

“…… If this fish really looks like this...... There's a good chance it really has some connection to the monitor lizard. "Especially where this carapace and arthropod is located...... Wait a minute. ”

As he spoke, Lunata sped into operation on his personal terminal.

“…… They should ...... All right! ”

As he spoke, Lunata projected what was in his personal terminal—a cross-sectional view of a strange fish and a monitor lizard.

"Based on the condition of the monitor lizard, I judged that it should have a sac-like structure that holds zero crystals in this location...... Considering the relationship between the vertebrae, they should be distributed in such a ......"

As he spoke, the back of the monitor lizard's neck was built around the two ends of the cervical vertebrae, and some balls representing zero crystals were placed inside.

"No, that's how they should be......" Chen Zheng reached over and copied the Zero Crystals onto Gui Yu's body, and then adjusted the distribution of the Zero Crystals so that they were neatly arranged on both sides of the spine according to their size.

"They're ...... inside At least there are no sac-like structures in the body of this strange fish. Chen Zheng said, adjusting the coverage area of the carapace on the back of the strange fish, "In addition, the carapace is distributed like this...... The zero geodes were just below the carapace, buried in the flesh. ”

"That's ......," Lu Nata thought for a moment, and copied Chen Zheng's adjusted zero-crystal distribution structure onto the monitor lizard's body.

"Hmm...... Sure enough, this makes more sense, and it doesn't affect its movement. ”

After the adjustment, Lunata made the model of the monitor lizard move according to the star movement pattern of the monitor lizard projected earlier, and found that this distribution structure did not affect its movement at all.

“……”

By all indications, Chen Zheng's speculation is likely to be true - in addition to them and the bugs, there may be another camp on this planet that is hostile to the bugs.

"You say...... Could they have been made by the long-handed people? Specifically for those bugs and wyverns? ”

“…… I don't know, but it looks like they're supposed to be more comfortable with Corrupt mobs, and it's hard to get an advantage against Wyverns. The one-eyed dragon spoke out of his judgment.

Indeed, those wyverns were already invincible just by virtue of their ability to fly, and they had the advantage of numbers.

"No, there are only two now...... No, a sample and a half, it is not yet certain whether they have been modified or not - I am sure that this transformation will not be carried over to future generations, yet the previous civilization has ......"

"That's right." Chen Zheng suddenly remembered, "The long-handed people have been extinct for a long, long time...... At least 10,000 years, right? Are these 'arthropods' just as ...... as the mother?"

"Wait! Shouldn't that female worm too!? Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Although the female worm is very weird...... But can pure creatures really survive over 10,000 years?

“…… At least the bugs are newly hatched. Lunata muttered.

There was too little information to make any further judgments, so the trio fell silent again.

"My lord! Find the reason! The communicator's voice suddenly rang out in the channel.

"Oh? What happened to drone 9? Chen Zheng walked into the cab and asked.

Behind him, the one-eyed dragon and Lunata followed.

"It was shot down, look ......," he said, and the communicator adjusted the screen to the video signal from the No. 10 drone.

I saw that in the dense jungle, a pure white drone broke into two and hung on the canopy.

"How did you find it?" Chen Zheng adjusted the focus of the camera on the No. 10 drone, and kept magnifying the wreckage of the No. 9.

“…… Although it was shot down, the repeater was still working, but the height was too low to disconnect from 10, and when 10 found it, it was already like this. ”

"Have you made contact with drone 8?" Chen Zheng looked at the more and more details on the screen and frowned imperceptibly.

“…… There is no ......," the correspondent shook his head.

"Go ahead, let the drone increase altitude and widen the interval." Chen Zheng ordered,

"Yes!"

As the drone gradually raised and widened the distance, it was soon possible to search for the relay range of the No. 7 drone...... However, they still did not receive a signal from drone 7!

“…… My lord ......" the communicator's face was full of unease.

"Continue to expand the scope." Chen Zheng ordered.

"But if you expand the range, the signal strength will be ......," the communicator said.

"Regardless of the signal strength, as long as the drone can accept the command, expand the search range as soon as possible."

“…… Be. The communicator reluctantly accepted the order.

Gradually, the video signal transmitted back by the drone became more and more unstable, and finally even disconnected the video connection directly.

The bandwidth of short wave is very high and the transmission rate is large, but the energy decay is also fast, and the communication distance is naturally short. The energy decay of long waves is very slow, but its information transmission speed is naturally much slower than that of short waves.

Chen Zheng and the others are now facing such a situation, just like they were using 10M fiber optic video before, and then it became a 2K small water pipe, and the video was naturally broken, and only text communication could be maintained.

As time passed, the relay range of drones 7, 6, and 5 arrived one after another, but all of them disappeared without incident.

"Huh? What is it? The communicator was stunned for a moment, looking at the message sent back by machine 10 on the screen, and was at a loss.

"That's a damage warning." Chen Zheng participated in the design and manufacture of the second-generation UAV throughout the process, and naturally knew what this garbled news represented.

"Unit 10 is out of contact!"
