Exploration Star One.
Forest Town.
Zheng Senlin stood outside the town wall and looked at the jungle outside.
This wall is still very thin at present, and it seems to be of little use in defending against the invasion of alien civilization, but it can block a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Anyone who has actually lived or camped in the woods knows how terrifying snakes, insects, rats, and ants can be.
People who have been to the Amazon jungle know better that in the truly humid rainforest, mosquitoes are not classified individually or in groups, but by weight.
The same is true around the star gate.
Although people cut trees for construction, there are too many kinds of creatures in the forest. From time to time, small creatures come into the town and hurt people. Fences are indispensable - even simple ones.
But Zheng Senlin didn't come to see the wall today, he came to arrest people.
"In a moment, you go to the left, and I'll go to the right. We'll explore the forest and try to find aliens."
"Want to live or die?"
"It's best if it's alive. If it's the kind with eight legs, it doesn't matter whether it's dead or alive. Anyway, the war has already begun. No need to give face."
"There are patrols dozens of kilometers around the base. There is no need to explore this road. Do you need me to give you a ride?" Shen Yuan stood next to him, showing off his mecha.
At this time, his mecha has been upgraded and upgraded again and again. His whole body is coated with a silver-gray invisibility layer, and his lines are as smooth as a python. Linliang's eyes are full of various mecha modules. Just looking at the appearance, they are truly beyond the times.
"No, I'll go there myself."
"You can't fly, so you're wasting time traveling through the forest..."
"Who told you that I can't fly?" As Zheng Senlin spoke, he opened his hands and exuded a unique smell of female insects into the air.
After a while, a huge "moth" flew out of the jungle.
The "moth" came to Zheng Senlin and showed a very affectionate appearance, constantly rubbing his body against him.
Then, Zheng Senlin pulled out a huge arm-long parasite that looked like an "ironworm" from his cuff, and stuffed it directly into the moth's body while the insect was still squirming.
The moth struggled on the spot for a few seconds, then obeyed and stopped moving.
"Holy shit, it's so disgusting. Are you all so disgusting when it comes to living things?" Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan almost vomited out his dinner. He stroked his mecha and said narcissistically: "It's still mechanical. Okay, machinery is beautiful and romantic, mom, I don’t want to study biology anymore.”
"Stop talking nonsense, catch the aliens first. I always feel that those people are not that simple." After saying this, Zheng Senlin jumped on the moth's back, and the latter's four-meter-long wings remained in place. With a flutter, he jumped into the air, and his speed was not slow.
But the faster one is the mecha.
Shen Yuan soared into the high altitude stratosphere before daring to continue moving forward.
After flying about a hundred kilometers away, a module opened on his shoulder, and countless robots the size of rice grains flew out in all directions and began to explore the surrounding area.
However, his exploration area is still much lower than Zheng Senlin.
Different from Shen Yuan's high-altitude flight, Zheng Senlin directed the moth to fly close to the bushes, and the flying height was always around two to three hundred meters.
Although it will be attacked by various creatures, fortunately it is close enough below.
Maintaining this height, Zheng Senlin used his keen sense of smell to distinguish all the smells in the air.
If there was anything that was obviously incompatible with the environment, he would go down and investigate.
Zheng Senlin took a deep breath. The search range was dozens of kilometers, which was extremely efficient.
In this way, he rode the moth and searched all the way. On the way, he encountered predators that tried to eat the moth more than a dozen times, but he chased them away...
The boring search work lasted for three or four hours. When he went to check for the eighth time, he finally discovered something was wrong.
When I smelled scents that didn't blend in with the environment, they were mostly strange natural compounds or strange species that didn't blend in with the forest.
But as he searched, Zheng Senlin smelled the smell of a strange creature. Not only was the smell of this creature incompatible with the surrounding environment, but its key movement trajectory was completely different from that of an "ordinary animal." There is no territorial scope, no hunting characteristics, and a very planned approach. There is a high probability that they are aliens.
Following the traces of their scent, Zheng Senlin finally found a group of aliens after more than ten minutes.
As soon as he arrived, the group of "Abyssal People" heard something strange. Then they rushed into the air and launched a few sonic attacks before starting to run away.
Zheng Senlin would not let this opportunity pass by.
Jumping down from the sky and jumping between the trees, he easily caught up with several people at a speed several times faster than the opponent.
He had seen the strength of these creatures in videos. On Earth, their athletic ability was at the level of a bison. They were much stronger than humans, but they were also limited.
Their "firearms" are more powerful than humans, and their energy coverage is also wider, but they cannot fire continuously, and their offensive methods are also very limited.
A creature of this caliber has no power to fight back against Zheng Senlin.
He jumped down from the top of the bushes, with scales appearing on his body. After resisting a few shots, he bullied into their bodies.
Then almost one at a time, two were killed and one was knocked unconscious.
"There are only three people in total. They do not meet the standard of a five-person group. They should have been killed by wild beasts in the forest." It was difficult to take the three Yuan people away, so Zheng Senlin exuded a "hormone aura" and summoned a few more people. Only moths, one carrying one on their backs, carried them all back to the town.
…
evening.
"You didn't tell me when you came back?" Shen Yuan, who had learned nothing all day, took advantage of the last glow of the stars to return to Forest Town, and then learned at the sentry station that Zheng Senlin had returned a long time ago.
"I want to see if you can gain anything else. After all, there are more than one kind of aliens coming."
"This explanation...well, it's very reasonable, but I'm still very angry. You should have informed me."
In the closed laboratory, Shen Yuan was angry while looking at the neatly stacked things on Zheng Senlin's experimental table that looked like shelled peanuts.
Although the objects were of different shapes, they were arranged very tightly. They were put together like a whole puzzle piece. There were no gaps or wasted space at all.
"What the hell is this?"
"The egg sheath."
"Whose eggs?"
"They're from aliens." Zheng Senlin looked to the other side, "The race that calls themselves Yuan people this time is actually all pregnant women."
"Pregnant women? Are you sure! Let pregnant women fight? What kind of strange habit is this?" Shen Yuan couldn't understand the habits of this "Yuan tribe" at all. In human society, pregnant women are the ultimate protection objects. It's fine if they don't protect them. It is not common sense to send pregnant women to fight. "Even if we don't treat pregnant women as human beings, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, right? According to people on earth, the mobility of pregnant women is not as good as that of children."
"Yes, from the analysis of the physiological structure of their race, the combat effectiveness of pregnant women is more severely damaged than that of people on Earth. They are not sent to fight."
"Then what are they here for?"
"It's time to give birth." Zheng Senlin picked up a "peanut" as he spoke, "A pregnant woman can produce more than 300 egg sheaths, and each egg sheath can hatch at least 30 offspring. In other words... …”
"Ten thousand per litter? Cockroaches? Cockroaches are not that fertile, right?" After hearing this number, Shen Yuan went numb.
