At the end of the meeting, Chu Jungui first ordered people to count and classify all the sick and wounded, and the most serious ones were treated in a medical cabin in turn, and then a medical instrument was used. If there is no fatal danger for the time being, it should be treated with an emergency medical kit first.

After arranging the most important things, Chu Jungui called Le Mans and went straight to the laboratory.

The lab was finally getting brighter, and there were at least two lights on in this room. In the center of the laboratory is still the original glass cover, and there is a shallow layer of thin black gas at the bottom of the cover, which is flat on the nutrient base at the bottom.

This is Kaitian, but Chu Jungui looked at it at a glance and calculated that the mass of Kaitian was at least 80% less based on volume and density.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know exactly what's going on," Le Mans said. There was a previous attack by the beast tide that was particularly violent, and there was a strange energy field that enveloped the entire base. That time it was about to be unbearable, but that strange energy field suddenly began to disintegrate, and the beast tide also appeared chaotic, and most of it collapsed on its own. That's how we hold the base. When the beast tide ended, I realized that Kaitian had become much smaller and inactive. ”

"I thought it was dead, so I had no choice but to use strong radiation and three days later I finally observed that it was eating. Now it's a lot older than it was then. ”

"The strange energy field, has the data been recorded?" asked Chu Jungui.

Le Mans smiled bitterly: "Our mastermind is all ruined, and the recorded data is only a few fragments, and there is no conclusion at all." ”

"Is there a new class of alien beasts appearing?"

Le Mans hesitated, "This...... It seems that there is none. ”

Chu Jungui frowned slightly, and then asked, "What about Kaitian, did it say what was going on?"

"After you left, for some reason, I fell silent when I opened the sky, and I no longer communicated with anyone, not even me, except for eating and sleeping every day, until the beast tide. ”

Chu Jungui looked at Kaitian in the glass cover, and stretched out his hand to open the glass cover.

The glass cover was gone, but the black gas inside still remained cylindrical, unchanged at all, as if it was not a gas, but a solid.

Chu Jungui put a finger into the black qi, and this time the black qi finally reacted, covering Chu Jungui's finger and slowly spreading upward. It tentatively took a small bite and bit off a few epidermal cells.

The black gas suddenly tumbled violently, as if it had drunk poison, and constantly shook out fine particles. It looks like it's vomiting out everything it's eaten lately.

After a toss, the black qi finally quieted down, shrunk into a ball, and a small eye like a grain of sand emerged from the surface, dim and unfocused, and it could not be seen without looking carefully.

Kaitian looked at Chu Jungui for a while, and then projected a line of small words: "Boss, you are finally back." ”

Chu Jungui asked, "You seem to be a little uncomfortable just now, what's wrong?"

Kaitian squirted out a line of words: "I knew you were unpalatable, but I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable!!!!"

Looking at the series of exclamation marks, it was not difficult for Chu Jungui to feel the grief and indignation of Kaitian. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Is it hard to eat?"

"Indescribable! I'd rather gnaw on rocks and eat dirt than try it again." No, the soil is a hundred times better than you!"

Chu Jungui felt that even if he couldn't call it delicious, at least it was organic matter, which point was not better than soil? Besides, he was made from a most basic protein molecule, and every cell was a perfectly designed work, orderly and neat enough to satisfy any degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Unexpectedly, Kaitian still couldn't fully express his anger, and said again: "You are simply a shame for organic matter!"

Chu Jungui smiled bitterly, "Am I poisonous?"

"No! it's okay to be poisonous, at least it's functional. You don't have any toxicity, it's just unpalatable!"

Chu Jungui was very embarrassed, looked left and right, and saw Le Mans's strange face, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he endured it very hard.

Chu Jungui coughed a few times, reminding Le Mans to disguise himself more carefully, and then said to Kaitian: "Are you feeling better now?

Hearing the words of eating, the sky opened with another surge, and a lot of grains fell on the ground. Seeing that it reacted so strongly, Chu Jungui had no choice but to stop mentioning this word, and said to Le Mans: "Bring a radiometer and take a picture of it for a while." ”

Le Mans brought a lamp-like ray instrument, turned it up to maximum power, and shone it on Kaitian's body. Strong radiation can replenish it with energy, but there is no way to replenish the mass.

Waiting until Kaitian recovered a little, Chu Jungui asked, "How did you become like this?"

The words projected by Kaitian are small and dark, and they look very weak, and because they have eaten bad things, they are more empty than empty.

"One of my ...... met that day Similar. We fought a war, I ...... Lost, but it didn't work out either. ”

"Is it powerful?" Chu Jun remembered the image he had seen in the memory of the messenger's brain.

"Awesome? How could it be? It's just a second-generation entity, not on the same level as my third-generation alpha at all! Give me time and energy, I can kill a dozen of them. ”

Chu Jungui keenly captured the key information, "Are you still generations?"

"Evolve to a new level, it's a new generation. I belong to the third generation. ”

"What does alpha mean?"

"It's a special body that has a positive mutation. ”

"And what is your mutation?"

"I don't know. ”

Chu Jungui couldn't ask anything again, at this time Kaitian's energy had been exhausted, his eyes sank into his body again, and he spread himself on the nutrient base and began to eat.

Chu Jungui knew that now was not the time to disturb it, so he fastened the glass cover and said to Le Mans: "Send a few more guards in the laboratory, and then you take me to all parts of the base to have a look." ”

At this time, the layout of the base is completely different from the past, and the area where the former Shadow Fortress of Doom is still under its control is less than a quarter of what it used to be, and the rest of the area has been reduced to ruins.

Chu Jungui first entered the original command center, which was also the location of the Cambrian mastermind. At this moment, the Cambrian hall was cold and gloomy, with various objects scattered all over the floor, dust everywhere, and thick rust spreading like scars on the walls and floor. The current alloy of human beings is still difficult to resist the harsh environment of Planet 4, and it has been severely corroded in a short period of time.

The Cambrian in the center has turned into a dead metal sphere, and traces of ablation can still be seen on the surface. From this hall, you can also see the current mental state of the survivors of the base. No one has cleaned up the rubble in such a central area, let alone rebuilt it.

Chu Jungui stood for a moment before saying, "Let's go to the production area." ”
