After the end of the First Subhuman War, the countries of Europe passed a temporary resolution almost simultaneously banning all underground exploration, so as not to anger the subhumans living in the dark caves. The need for this resolution was also confirmed by the peace of the past three years, and the wounds of the war gradually subsided, and the subhumans began to fade into the memory of ordinary people.

Although Jacques speculated that the playground incident would be the beginning of the Second Asian War, Gufu was still hoping that it was just a chance accident. Sending an expedition into the world of the subhumans was an extremely risky move, but the situation forced him to take action, otherwise neither the president nor the people would agree, and he hoped that he would survive the crucial months and receive his pension.

Faced with a dilemma, Gu Fu adopted a compromise approach.

A visit to Pierre Duvall was not routine, and Guff received his promise, "As Bruce's law-abiding taxpayers, we have an obligation to cooperate with the police in all their actions." That's a good statement, and Gu Fu gave the Carmer consortium a detailed list, the core of which is the spider robots used to detect the underworld.

With a stroke of the pen, the chairman, Leon Duval, generously provided Gufu with all the equipment he needed, and sent a technical team headed by Pierre to assist the police in their investigations.

Another important invention of the Carmer consortium is the spider robot, which is only the size of an adult's fist, driven by hydraulics and eight mechanical legs, able to crawl freely on rough ground, has six monocular eyes at the front of the cephalothorax, is equipped with miniature cameras for different purposes, and transmits images synchronously to the control room, and there is a cluster of spinning tubes behind the abdomen, simulating a spider extracting extremely fine high-strength viscous filaments, with a weight of more than 200 kilograms.

This is not an active initiation of disputes, and the subhumans see the spider robot as some kind of unknown creature at most.

The entire exploration process lasted thirty minutes, and the spider robot sent back a large number of precious images, which filled in the gaps in the field of subhuman research to a certain extent.

For the first few hundred meters, the spider robot relies on the fiber silk to hang down and take pictures of the whole picture of the burrow.

The cave is shaped like a vertical hornet's nest, with layers of earth, foundation fill, and rock from top to bottom, crisscrossed by iron buds and scattered with the corpses of Monimon.

In other words, the subhumans drove Monimon in a frenzy, and at the cost of casualties, they carved a passage through the rock with a strength close to reinforced concrete, reaching the ground, completely destroying the playground. If their purpose is merely provocation, the cost is simply too great.

Gu Fu even wondered if the subhumans were really "intelligent beings, like humans," as the archives say. ”

The spider robot continues to descend, the terrain becoming more and more complex, and it enters a natural cavern where the light quickly decays, the darkness is solid, and the monitor is blurry and nothing can be seen clearly.

"Turn on ultrasound scanning and infrared scanning!" Pierre folded his arms over his chest, pressed his thumb and forefinger against his chin, and pursed his lips slightly. This is a habitual action when he thinks.

The operator quickly entered the command, activated the second and third pairs of monocular of the spider robot, and the signal was continuously transmitted back to the monitoring room, and three tower computers converted electromagnetic waves into images, and a moment later, a panoramic view of the cave appeared on the monitor.

Recall the ultrasound images from a pregnancy test – interpreting them requires specialized knowledge and experience, and to the uninitiated, it is almost equivalent to a vague mysterious nebula. The task force's elite are in a similar dilemma, huddled around monitors, staring at ultrasound scans, no one admitting their ignorance. Technology has advanced to a whole new level, far beyond their realization, and strong physique and accurate marksmanship can't solve all problems.

While Pierre was engrossed in interpreting the image, Jacques pointed to the small black dot on the side of the screen and asked, "What is that?" It seems to be moving! ”

Pierre leaned in for a moment to observe, shrugged and said, "Maybe it's the noise of the signal, let the spider robot crawl over and take a look......"

The spider robot crawled slowly on the fault of the rock, gradually approaching the suspicious black spot, and the signal appeared a lot of noise, and the intensity of interference continued to rise, which has seriously affected the image quality.

"Is there a response from the infrared scan?" Pierre became impatient.

"Not yet—no, wait!"

A giant monimon suddenly appears on the monitor, opens its mouth, and bites the spider-robot hard. The signal is interrupted and everything is over.
