Chapter 80: Zeta Star Undergoes a Great Change
As Jimmy spoke, he saw an insect the size of a drone buzzing over their heads.
Jimmy was frightened and quickly pulled Simon and Maeve and hid in the bushes next to them.
But as soon as they hid inside, they were crawling with the kind of green insects, but fortunately this insect was relatively small and didn't bite, so they didn't care too much.
But there were so many of them that some of them crawled into Simon's mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah...... Well? "Why does the worm that fell into Simon's mouth still feel a little sweet and greasy? But it's still disgusting......
"It's ...... Maltworm? The taste is sweet, and the ant tribe's favorite food...... This bug shouldn't be on Zeta......" Maeve also pinched a bug and tasted it, which seemed to be correct with her guess.
"Say! Which species of Zeta has been hunted cleanly? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many insects here! Simon questioned Jimmy.
"It's a kind of short, stocky and hobby...... Without wings, it can't fly, and it can't scream. It's silly...... Call...... What's it called? Jimmy thought with a frown.
"Watara Harpy?" Maeve asked.
"That's right! Crossing the Harpy! ”
"Hey...... Sure enough, it's ......" Maeve sighed helplessly, "Duharpy was originally the guardian bird of Zeta Star!" The pheromones it emits can protect Zetastar from insects! And it can also maintain the balance of species in the universe! You've wiped it out! Sooner or later, the cosmic ecological chain will be destroyed! ”
"Ah......? So what now? Jimmy looked at Maeve nervously.
He only hunted for a living, and never imagined that an important species on Zeta would become extinct due to the personal preferences of hunters and wealthy people.
And the aftermath of this extinction is irreparably damaging not only to Zeta, but even to the entire universe.
"What to do...... How do I know what to do? Maeve glared at Jimmy, "The ecological chain is not destroyed by us, you are responsible for the results you made yourself!" Is it useful to ask others? ”
Jimmy was speechless by Maeve's words, so he had to look at Simon pleadingly: "Big brother...... Is it too late to remedy? ”
"It's too late! It's too late for you to beg anyone! Unless, you can bring Duhabi back to life! Without waiting for Simon to reply, Maeve scolded Jimmy mercilessly.
"As long as you can bring Duharbi back to life, right? That's easy! When Jimmy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "As long as there is a remedy!" I'll take you somewhere ......."
"Where?" Simon looked at him warily.
"It feels like a laboratory place, something I stumbled upon while hunting, because it......'s near a crater where no one is going," Jimmy whispered mysteriously.
"Since it's a crater that no one has ever been to? So how did you find out? Simon looked at him suspiciously.
"You don't believe it...... I was ready to hunt the night owl that night...... But I don't know why I fell asleep after waiting...... As soon as I opened my eyes again, I was carried above the crater by a huge insect that I had never seen before, and I hurried to save myself! I killed the insect that flew with me, and I fell onto the lava next to the crater......" Jimmy describes in a colorful voice.
"And then? You find out that the volcano is not a volcano? Is it an experimental base? Simon said for him what he didn't say in the second half.
"That's right! Big Simon? How do you know? Jimmy looked at Simon overjoyed.
"I don't know! I just heard rumors that Zeta Star has a secret experimental species gene base, but no one knows where it is......" Simon quickly retorted, he didn't want to be misunderstood, and asked knowingly.
"What's in that lab? You know what? "Maeve was curious.
"Then I don't know, I just saw that there was a loop sign on that gate, and then there was a sign that was entwined, and besides, that door was locked with a combination lock, and I couldn't get in, how could I know what was going on inside?"
"Take a look?"
Simon and Maeve glanced at each other, feeling that what Jimmy said might be the legendary biochemical laboratory established by the Holy Light Star Alliance on Zeta.
If there are experimental results in that lab that will help improve the environment of Zeta, then it is really necessary to make a trip.
"How about taking the two of us there?" Simon looked at Jimmy.
"Don't ......go," Jimmy shook his head like a rattle, "go, half my life is gone, and I don't want to go again!" ”
"What are you afraid of with us protecting you?" Simon spoke up.
"Brother Simon, it's not a question of protection or not, the gate of that laboratory is near the crater, and it will be difficult to climb the volcano! Don't go! Jimmy was adamant not to go.
"If you don't go, you won't go...... Can you at least give us the coordinates of the volcano? There are also several volcanoes on Zeta, how do we know which one you are talking about? Maeve gave Jimmy a blank look.
"That volcano on the edge of the secret lake is ......"
"Secret Lake...... Okay......" Simon nodded, and when he heard the name, he knew it.
The Uncharted Lake is the death zone of Zeta, and the crystal clear water of the lake hides murderous intentions, and if you are not careful, you will be dragged into the lake by the living aquatic plants here.
The oxygen content around the lake is also lower than that around the lake, and despite the lush vegetation, life is very rare, which is why Jimmy is adamant that he doesn't want to come here again.
It was already a miracle that he was able to escape from the death zone smoothly, and if he was to go back again, it would definitely be no matter how much money he would give.
But it doesn't matter if Jimmy doesn't lead him, Simon has been to places a thousand times more dangerous than here, and all of them have come back without incident, and this death zone is a piece of cake for him.
Simon and Maeve say goodbye to Jimmy and return to the ship, checking the equipment needed to cross the Death Zone.
Thanks to his habit of being a bounty hunter, whenever he felt he could use something, he would carry it on the ship in case he needed it.
Now it seems that he made the right decision.
The two respirator masks can directly convert all kinds of air into the air you need to breathe.
The laser chainsaw used to open the road and the underwater walking suit for swimming were all found from the cabin one by one.
"I know, you're a spaceship, I don't know, I thought you're a grocery store, what do you want...... "Maeve changed her gear and made fun of Simon.
"What a grocery store! It's all the accumulation of life! You, the proprietress who stays at home all day long, won't understand! Simon retorted.
After the two of them were ready, they drove the flying motorcycle towards the secret lake.
