Walking into the shabby appearance of the cement building, the environment has changed abruptly.

Flat and shiny marble floors, bright crystal chandeliers, a row of ergonomic sofas against the wall, vending machines and coffee machines filled with all kinds of common snacks and beverages all give the impression of being in a miniature version of the public reception area of a large federal enterprise.

"Wow, it's really worthy of being one of the top 100 exploration companies in terms of profitability last year..."Looking around, looking at the comfortable environment and the bustling crowd waiting to be received, Zhang Longchu's impression of the Arkansas Geological Exploration Company suddenly turned from contempt just now to amazement, and he thought to himself.

After picking up a ticket in front of the queue machine at the door, he curiously walked to the vending machine, intending to taste the difference between Cadbury soft chocolate and Henri Nestle coffee in the frontier area, so he bought two chocolate bars and a cup of hot coffee for more than five times the price in Los Angeles, and waited while eating and drinking.

This is twenty minutes of waiting, during which Zhang Longchu used his mobile phone to send a long text message to his adoptive mother, saying that he had arrived in Beiping, the capital of China, and found a very comfortable environment, the price is also moderate hotel to settle down, in short, everything went smoothly, that is, when picking up luggage at Peking International Airport, he accidentally dropped his mobile phone.

As a result, it seems that the phone's call function has failed, and it can only send messages.

And the power of the mobile phone is already insufficient, and there is no way to charge it, and Huaguo's mobile phone heard that the signal format is different from that of the United States, and there is no way to use it, so he may not be able to contact his family often during the trip, but don't worry, although the time to come to China is very short, he is very adaptable, and there should be no trouble.

After the ghost finished this message, Zhang Longchu turned his mobile phone to 'airplane mode', blocked the contact function, and called up the 'super hot program'.

At this moment, he suddenly heard his number called on the radio, so he hurriedly stood up, ran to the reception desk like the front desk of the hotel, handed over the number paper, and the mobile phone with a bounty list displayed on the screen, and pretended to be sophisticated and said: "Miss, I am taking the 'bounty mission', GF0812, 200 kilometers deep into the 'Blue Whale plane', looking for the lost cargo of the wrecked plane." ”

Several young ladies behind the reception desk who were dressed in uniform light blue suits and wore the nameplate of 'Arkansas Geological Exploration Company' on their chests were very beautiful and professional, and they did not question Zhang Longchu's immature appearance and demeanor;

One of the tallest young ladies politely helped him receive the task, and said with a smile: "Sir, in order to assist in the execution of the GF0812 mission, during your service to our company, you will get the right to use a C-03 mechanical dog free of charge."

If you have a better auxiliary machine of the same type, you can apply not to use this mechanical dog, and upgrade the task reward to 15,000 meters per piece...

The mission area is 200 kilometers deep into the blue whale plane, and within an area of 2,000 square kilometers, there is only one comprehensive development base called 'Chlorophyll'.

Our company has a commuter bus to 'Chlorophyll' every 24 hours, which departs late at night, of course, you can also take the bus at your own expense during the day..."

"Did the commuter bus leave today?" I was really impatient with the formulaic introduction of the reception lady who did not miss the slightest detail, Zhang Longchu interrupted her words and asked.

"Today's bus leaves in about 20 minutes." The reception lady looked at the time and replied.

"I'll just take that bus." The price of the vending machine confirmed that the price of the frontier area on the Internet was really high, and he felt that the more than 3,000 yuan in his account could only be used as five or six hundred yuan here, Zhang Longchu said without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it for you." Hearing his request, the reception lady obediently clicked a few times in front of Zhinao, and quickly arranged everything, and 20 minutes later, smoothly sent Zhang Longchu to the commuter bus to the development base.

It is said to be a commuter vehicle, but in fact, all land vehicles in the forward zone to the heterotopic plane are the specifications of armored combat vehicles, large-caliber guns with a base that can rotate 360 degrees, high-speed machine guns, alloy shells with a size of more than 50 mm, tracked tires, etc. are all indispensable standard equipment.

Whether the space reserved for passengers in the carriage is enough, whether the chassis of the car is good in shock absorption, whether the seats are comfortable and so on are all not considered by the manufacturer.

Therefore, along the way, Zhang Longchu could only sit in a chariot that couldn't even straighten his waist, crowded like a sardine can, jolting up and down like a pirate ship, falling asleep in a daze and being awakened I don't know how many times, before finally arriving at the 'chlorophyll' base.

The Extraterrestrial Complex Development Base, expensive and versatile, can carry all the preparations for the creation of a permanent settlement across the plane, and is more of a small city made of alloy than a huge base, and the inhabitants living in it are even more strange, explorers, mercenaries, scientists, speculators, etc., it is simply all-encompassing.

Finally reached the destination, Zhang Longchu stepped out of the chariot, his originally muddy mind suddenly cleared, and his eyes opened involuntarily.

Three or five groups of heavily armed warriors with repeating spears in their hands, tactical vests stuffed with grenades on their upper bodies, and eight slender alloy limbs and feet nearly 2 meters long, surrounded by robotic spiders with cannon barrels;

A gray robe that looked like it was made of silk and puffed up in the wind from time to time, followed by four old men with spears in their hands, dressed like the Roman court warriors in history;

Dressed in a white robe like a doctor and scientist, holding a megaphone in his hand, he pointed to a row of medieval bionic mechanical tools beside him, and shouted hoarsely, "Come and see, all kinds of bionic armed machine tools repaired by Master Raffa's own hands!"

As long as 30% of the original price, whether it is an agile mechanical dog or a robot snake that can cope with a variety of terrain...", all kinds of seemingly unconnected characters appeared in front of him at the same time, making Zhang Longchu suddenly have a grotesque feeling across time and space.

However, for the staff of the Arkansas Geological Survey Company on the Blue Whale plane, such a scene is really normal, the driver of the commuter car parked the car, jumped out of the driver's seat, and directly guided the passengers who got off the bus early into the room rented by the company in 'Chlorophyll'.

The person in charge of the Arkansas Geological Exploration Company's development base was a middle-aged white man with strong martial arts, and after assigning his deputy to place the company's employees, he smiled enthusiastically and said to Zhang Longchu and a dozen other mercenaries who had received the bounty task: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Blue Whale Plane, the chlorophyll development base.

I'm the Resident Manager of Arkansas Geological Survey. Hausen, you can call me Al.

Now the West Side Restaurant has prepared a sumptuous lunch for everyone, so you are welcome to enjoy it at any time.

After lunch, if you are tired, you can go directly to the lounge on the second floor to sleep, of course, you can start the task right away, it is an honor to serve you, please feel free, please, please..."

With Al's polite gesture of invitation, a metal door on the west wall of the room slowly opened, and the smell of bacon, hot bread, and vegetable soup suddenly came through.

The bumps on the road for nearly ten hours had already made everyone hungry, and when they smelled the aroma of food, someone's stomach couldn't help but cry 'cooing...', and everyone stopped being polite and flocked into the restaurant.

Zhang Longchu, who had little experience in exploring the heterotopic plane, naturally went with the flow, and went into the restaurant with everyone to have a good meal, and then he went up to the second floor to rest for a whole afternoon, and then he was ready to go.

The C-03 mechanical dog provided by the Arkansas Geological Survey for mission performers is an old model from 15 years ago, and apart from the fact that the hollow body can store items of one square meter, it cannot be compared with the latest model of mechanical dog in terms of fire support, weight bearing, or speed of action.

However, the price of a new type of mechanical dog in the middle of the ancient is more than 100,000 meters, and Zhang Longchu really can't afford it, so he has to use it to fill up, put the strange backpack into the storage box, and stroll out of the base with the C-03 mechanical dog.

At this time, it was already ten in the evening, and the sunset, which was almost exactly the same as the earth, was sprinkled on the dense jungle a hundred meters outside the base, and the colors of the summoning mist that were waving out of it were colorful, giving people a magnificent and inexplicable frightening feeling.

Quietly glancing at the left and right sides with the corner of his eye, seeing that the other earth adventurers who were about to step into the alien forest, most of them were in groups and carrying various advanced bionic machines, Zhang Longchu sighed secretly and strode into the jungle.

But they didn't know that the other explorers saw that he was alone, and with an old robot dog, they dared to set foot in the dense forest of the heterotopic plane, and they were all afraid, and subconsciously avoided the direction of his entry into the forest.

In the darkness, the first thing Zhang Longchu did was to hurriedly throw the only three samurai chess pieces in his pocket on the ground, and transform them into heroic warriors with shields and halberds and bows and crossbows.

Feeling safer, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and while taking off his clothes, he commanded: "I will transform into a giant wolf in a while, and you will follow you to protect you, understand?" ”

The warriors created in the world of strange things are all limited by some mysterious law in the underworld, and they will not question Zhang Longchu's words and deeds at all, no matter how grotesque.

He knelt on the ground and said, 'Yes, God.' They watched Zhang Longchu push his clothes naked and turn into a huge white wolf, but they didn't think that the dignified gods had turned into beasts, and they had to let them protect what was strange, and lined up in front of the giant wolf, left and right, stepping on the decaying fallen leaves and stumps and walking towards the depths of the jungle step by step.
