With the return of the other squads, the expedition vehicle was set off again. The lab director — in fact, the director is just a bare-knuckle commander — was busy in the lab in the car behind.

The other teams also brought back 3 small animals for him, bringing the total number of specimens collected in the entire area to 24.

“…… Call...... There is no sign of corruption! The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief, and after cleaning up, he took a towel and sat there to wipe his sweat.

He was one of the glasses man's subordinates, and Chen Zheng didn't know his name until now.

It wasn't until he came out with Chen Zheng as the head of the laboratory this time that his name was known to Chen Zheng, and his name was Lu Nata - the original name was very long, about a dozen syllables, meaning a kind of shallow root grass that was blown around by the wind in their hometown.

However, Chen Zheng didn't bother to memorize such awkward syllables, just like the "Laga" of the man with glasses, and directly used the last three syllables of his name as his name.

"Tired? It's over in a moment...... Probably ......," Chen Zheng looked at the map, "Two more places and our mission will be completed." ”

"Not tired." Lu Nata, who was as thin as a small root vegetable, shook his head, looked at Chen Zheng as if he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "My lord, ...... Love that? ”

Lu Nata refers to the tuber plant that Chen Zheng is holding.

"yes." Chen Zheng laughed.

"Oh......" Lunata looked puzzled.

Whatever it is, after it has been fermented, it tastes much the same – a lot of protein makes it a bit like porridge, and a lot of fiber makes it a little sweet.

Cellulose is a macromolecular polysaccharide composed of glucose, which is fermented to produce small polysaccharides (fructose, starch, short fiber, etc.) and glucose, both of which have a slight sweet taste.

Food that is not fermented is very unsafe – God knows what kind of substances and molecular structure it contains. It's fine if it contains toxicity – yes, it's a blessing in misfortune, because there are antidotes to all kinds of poisons.

But...... Once you eat something that you have never been exposed to, or something special that the original planet does not contain, all sorts of unknown things can happen.

Adaptation, allergies, and even unexplained death are not out of the question.

In fact, if you look at the animal kingdom, you can see that most animals have a fixed diet.

On the one hand, some prey is easier to obtain, and on the other hand, it is relatively safer – new types of food take time to adapt, both to the animal itself and to the microflora in the animal's stomach.

For example, fibrous humans can't digest it, while cows can, which is why the microflora in the stomach and intestines don't match.

For example, some people have diarrhea as soon as they drink milk, which is likely to be caused by lactose intolerance, the ostensible reason is because of the lack of lactase, if the expert to explain what genetic, congenital, secondary and other unclear words will be mentioned.

And it's actually quite simple, far more straightforward than scientists say – not used to it.

It's not personal unaccustomed, but from my father and grandfather...... Dating back to many generations of ancestors, dairy products have never been a staple food, and the body's ability to secrete lactase is naturally weak.

A lot of things are as simple as that.

Earthlings, living on the earth, have been fighting against the sky, the earth, and the air in the true sense of the word.

Chen Zheng remembered that in a certain movie he had watched, there was a passage at the end of it, and he couldn't remember the original words, which probably meant that human beings had gone through countless illnesses and disasters before they adapted to the earth and gained the right to live on the earth.

And that's exactly what happened.

If you zoom in to the interstellar, all kinds of unaccustomed and unsuitable will become fatal factors.

Native creatures eat something beautiful, and alien creatures eat it with a high chance of being fatal. Therefore, I have to admire the person who invented the fermentation technology, just by breaking up and reassembling all the materials, he basically broke the survival barriers between various planets, which made interstellar colonization possible.

However...... The stuff it makes is just so unpalatable!

As an out-and-out alien, Lunata didn't understand Chen Zheng's behavior of risking his life for the sake of his mouth - the tested animals in the car were actually the latest source of meat in the entire base.

Meat that has not been fermented and processed is eaten directly after being hot...... The risks are unimaginable! But they really roast and stew...... And then I ate it!

Of course, Lunata does not know the allusion of "eating pufferfish" on the earth, and for Chinese, it does not contain toxins and is meat, and it does not reach the dangerous level of "eating pufferfish".

"Are you wondering about this?" Chen Zheng asked, holding the tuber.

"Uh...... Be. Lunata hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Go back and test whether that volatile oily substance is harmful, if not, this thing can make a delicious snack......," Chen Zheng said with a smile.

"......" Lu Nata looked at Chen Zheng with a confused expression.

Do you really have to risk your stuttering for the sake of your stutter? Why do those people hate fermented foods so much?

"Hahahaha......"

Looking at Lu Nata's expression, Chen Zheng couldn't help laughing out loud - the Chinese two-legged ones don't eat people, the four-legged ones don't eat stools, the flying ones don't eat airplanes, and the water swimmers don't eat submarines...... Eat everything else.

Don't, eat, eat!!

"Squeak—"

Just as Chen Zheng was smiling happily and Lu Nata looked inexplicable, the expedition vehicle suddenly stopped.

"What's the situation?!" Chen Zheng threw away the tuber and pressed the microphone on his chest and asked.

"My lord! You'd better come and have a look. The one-eyed dragon's voice rang out in the channel.

Chen Zheng nodded at Lu Nata, turned around and left the laboratory, leaving Lu Nata to pick up the bulb on the ground and look at it in a daze.

……

"Look, my lord." After the one-eyed dragon saw Chen Zheng coming in, he pointed to the vehicle-mounted infrared imager and said.

Chen Zheng looked down and found that the two blurred things above were constantly colliding, looking like two flames fighting fiercely.

"Roar————

"Squeak ————"

With a roar in the distance, a towering tree slowly fell to the ground......

"Not good! They're coming!! ”

As soon as Chen Zheng raised his head, he saw a behemoth with rotting skin stumbling out of the woods!

"Corrupt creatures!?"

Indeed, this behemoth has tentacles on its back, and its body is covered with all kinds of rotting and pus-draining scars.

Just when Chen Zheng thought that this corrupt creature was coming for them...... Another behemoth swooped out from the depths of the forest! Huge pincers hold down the corrupted beast!
