It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"It's not underground." Xia Zhou's response sounded, proving Zhu Ziwen's guess in his heart, "The enemy's attack came from the forest."

"Radiation detectors have detected a large number of fast-moving, unidentified radioactive sources in the surrounding forest."

"It's a giant worm left behind!" Zhu Ziwen said in a deep voice.

"According to the observation data some time ago, these giant insects became active at night."

With that said, he used his authority to obtain the data of the radiation detector.

In the miniature holographic projection in front of him, a three-dimensional detection image quickly appeared.

From the perspective of radiation detectors, the tarmac is a circular, black with a little fluorescent green area - there is only a small amount of weak radiation here.

And around the circular apron, there is a vast green world.

This green is light green.

Like a new leaf that has just sprouted, it exudes a strong vitality.

This is the radiation emitted by the fallen giant tree.

Under normal circumstances, that is, during the day, the detector screen should be covered by this vast light green.

But now, in these light green backgrounds, there are countless dense dark green dots that are moving fast!

There is no doubt that these dark green dots are the radiation emitted by the fallen giant worms.

Chapter 606 You call this a watermelon bug?

Zhu Ziwen's expression twisted as he watched the group of giant giant worms swarming towards the tarmac.

"This, this is impossible!!!"

His hands trembled slightly as he quickly adjusted the images in the holographic projection.

In the image, there are more and more dark green light spots around the tarmac.

It seems that these abandoned giant worms have been guided by something, and they have gathered in this abrupt area!

There are no dead ends, and the entire apron is completely wrapped.

"According to the previous detection data, although these giant insects are more active at night, they are mainly concentrated around the waters!"

"Well, why did they come here?!"

Hearing this, Xia Zhou frowned immediately.

But the sharper siren interrupted his thoughts, he raised his hand and pulled Zhu Ziwen hard.

"Never mind the reasons!"

"They will attack at any time, you go back to the starship first!"

Zhu Ziwen was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What about you?"

Xia Zhou turned his head and looked at the planetary explorers who had not returned to the vicinity of the starship in the distance.

"We have to wait for someone."

"Attention all, turn on the radiation imaging function."

Xia Zhou's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Get ready for the first wave of shock."

"Cover teammates and enter the starship!"

The radiation imaging function is an additional function of the second-generation exoskeleton armor.

It works like a radiation detector.

However, it can perform real-time analog imaging of detected radiation data with zero computing power.

In other words, those abandoned giant worms with extremely powerful stealth capabilities will reveal their true colors before the second-generation exoskeleton armor with the radiation imaging function turned on!

Zhu Ziwen stood where he was, silently observing Xia Zhou, Su Pengfei and others who were fully armed in just a few seconds.

At the same time, with the help of a brain wave reading device, he quickly recorded the defects he observed.

[The deployment speed of the plasma cannon is too slow...]

[The position of the Type III laser cannon needs to be improved...]

【…】

"Hey! Dude, what time is it, don't be dazed!"

Su Pengfei noticed Zhu Ziwen who was "stunned" on the spot, and shouted angrily and anxiously: "Go back to the starship! We don't have time to take care of you when they attack!"

Seeing that Zhu Ziwen didn't respond, he hurriedly turned to seek Xia Zhou's help.

"Captain Xia! Academician Zhu was frightened into a fool, quickly control the exoskeleton armor and let Academician Zhu return to the starship!"

Zhu Ziwen suddenly came back to his senses: "???"

In the next second, he felt an irresistible force coming from his limbs.

Seeing his body driven by the exoskeleton device to move towards the door of the starship, he hurriedly shouted.

"Captain Xia! Captain Xia!"

"and many more!!!"

The mechanical exoskeleton stopped its movements.

"What are you doing?!" Xia Zhou was a little anxious, and his tone became a little more serious, "Academician Zhu, now is not the time to joke! You..."

"I need to observe the actual combat scene of the exoskeleton armor!"

Zhu Ziwen raised his tone, overshadowing Xia Zhou's voice: "For the research and development of the next generation of exoskeleton armor!"

Xia Zhou: "..."

He frowned and clicked his tongue lightly, but he still unlocked the control authority of the exoskeleton armor.

"Su idiot! You are responsible for protecting Academician Zhu!"

"If something happens to Academician Zhu, you don't want to live!"

"Have you heard clearly!"

"Yes!" Su Pengfei straightened up and responded loudly.

……

As each explorer arrived near the starship, the moving speed of the dark green light spots in the radiation detector gradually increased.

They're getting restless.

The sharp hissing sound mixed with the rustling sound of the giant insect's moving body filled the entire "helipad".

But even so, the forest under the high-power searchlights was still extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

This strange picture with huge difference made Zhu Ziwen shudder slightly.

"Gudu..."

Zhu Ziwen squeezed his cold sweat and swallowed hard.

suddenly!

The alarm sound from the detector reached its peak, and the rapid beeps almost became one!

"coming!"

Xia Zhou's shout sounded on the communication channel: "All the explorers, take the team as a unit, immediately form a battle formation!"

The moment the voice fell, a sudden change occurred!

Under the illumination of the searchlights, a series of dense footprints appeared in the area where the forest and the tarmac meet!

But Zhu Ziwen's attention is not on these footprints.

He looked at the scene in the forest with shortness of breath, and there was unspeakable fear in his eyes!

root!

Overwhelming tree roots!

He finally knew why these abandoned giant worms changed their habits and came near the tarmac!

It was the giant trees who did it!

With the help of tree roots, they drove these giant worms to this area like sheep!

Suddenly, an unbelievable thought rose in Zhu Ziwen's mind.

Look at the incomparably skilled operation of these giant trees...

Is it possible that these abandoned giant worms are livestock raised by them?

As soon as this idea emerged, it kept lingering in Zhu Ziwen's mind.

"drop!"

The electronic synthesizer sounded: "The radiation imaging function is turned on."

The scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The whole world turned into a faint fluorescent green!

Zhu Ziwen also managed to see the appearance of those giant worms left behind.

Although this is still the image simulated by Zero through various data, it is already very close to the real picture.

"Wori, you bastard!"

The moment he saw the picture clearly, a miserable howl came from Zhu Ziwen's mouth: "Zero! You call this a watermelon bug?!"

"Where is this tm a watermelon bug!"

"This is simply a big gnat!!!"

Zhu Ziwen's face was pale, and he looked at the group of giant gnats trembling slightly.

Although they are similar in size, the shapes of watermelon worms and gnats have completely different visual impacts!

(The picture will not be released. If you are interested, you can search for it. Anchovy, commonly known as Qian Chuanzi, millipede.)

Chapter 607 [Communication has been interrupted]

【Earth】

The moment the alarm sounded, the faces of Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi, who were continuing to study the giant tree in the laboratory, changed instantly.

The two looked at each other, and they could see the deep anxiety in each other's eyes.

"An accident happened to the expedition team!"

Lu Yongchang collected himself, and said in a deep voice, "Ling, take the picture over."

"Connect to Academician Zhu Ziwen."

"receive."

The holographic image changes quietly.

Looking at the dense, fast-moving dark green dots, Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi couldn't help but gasp!

"Fuck!"

Mao Zhengzhi subconsciously swears: "What's the situation?!"

"I thought it was the giant tree that had an attack. How could it be those bugs?"

Lu Yongchang frowned, carefully checking all kinds of data: "Something's wrong...how could these bugs come to the depths of the forest at night?"

"Shouldn't they go to the surrounding waters..."

As the sirens grew louder, the swarm began to attack.

Seeing the tree roots waving away behind the swarm, everyone in the laboratory showed horror in their eyes!

"It will take the initiative to drive away the swarms to attack the intruders..."

Mao Zhengzhi murmured softly: "Professor, we still underestimate this giant tree."

"Its intelligence is probably no less than that of humans!"

Lu Yongchang did not answer.
