War Lord

Chapter 18:  Zerg

Ten days passed, and the Z7 base was unscathed.

After Zero brought the intelligence back, it really attracted the attention of Old Jack. For this reason, Old Jack ordered no one to enter or leave the base, and suspended mining operations, so that the sound made during mining did not attract the attention of the tyrannical creature. At the same time, the old Jack asked Zuoge to lead the team and stand guard 24 hours a day to strengthen the surveillance and martial law at the entrance and exit of the base.

However, ten days passed, but nothing happened, and no other abnormalities were found around the base, so Old Jack lifted the martial law.

Although Zero was still a little uneasy, the direction of the creature's movement was so obvious that it was pointing to the base, but how could it disappear out of thin air. But he is more aware that it is impossible for Old Jack to stop the base from operating for a long time. Ten days is already the limit of the Z7 base. Therefore, the lifting of martial law, Zero did not stop it.

Regarding the reconnaissance around the base, he personally participated in the operation and confirmed that there were no signs of suspicious creatures approaching. In this case, the lifting of martial law is a matter of course.

The Z7 base resumed its original operation.

It's just that the original hunting mission has been cancelled. With the migration of the largest wolves near the base, no new wolves will threaten the safety of the base in a short period of time. Zero has returned to the three o'clock line on weekdays, circling three things: acting as Leah's guard, driving range, and sleeping. He has been in the base for two years, and he has basically been familiar with life in the new era.

If according to Zero's own wishes, he would leave the base as early as the first-order strength and defense enhancement ability appeared. After successfully completing the task of Silver Tree City, the zero ability was affirmed by Old Jack. The hibernation warehouse hidden by old Jack as a collection, old Jack once generously asked Zero to carefully inspect the hibernation warehouse. It is a pity that there are not many valuable things found in this zero-recovery appliance.

The only clue is a set of English carved behind the hibernation warehouse.

Halson!

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a person's name. However, if Zero conducts inquiries through the base computer, there are hundreds of people in the world named Harson. For zero, this clue is no different from no clue.

If Ling wants to find his past, he has to go elsewhere to try his luck.

After the cataclysm, the global terrestrial plates have changed. There is only one highly polluted sea area called the Wrath Sea in the former five ocean states, and after the six major plates have undergone changes, connections, and collapse, only three of the six major plates remain.

The new plate is naturally renamed, such as the continent where Zero is now called Central Continent.

The Central Continent plate is formed by the collision of the original Asia-Europe plate and the Americas plate, and is the largest plate in the world as it is currently known. Of course, the two major sections of the state system in the old era have disappeared. Now it is the big companies and chaebols like Parkland that rule this continent.

The Z7 base is located on the edge of the Central Continent Plate, and it can provide very little information to Zero. Zero must go deep into the mainland center to get more information from other companies or chaebols.

However, he did not leave.

It's all for Leah.

This girl who is very similar to the shadow in the dream makes Zero unwilling to stay away. It seemed that by staying by Leah's side, he could occasionally live in a dream, thus forgetting the cruel world outside.

Zero sum came to Leah's laboratory as usual this day, and old Jack was also there. The grandfather and grandson watched a potion with full concentration, and even the arrival of Zero did not attract their attention. Ling leaned by the door, he knew that Leah was currently working on an anti-virus serum that could alleviate the damage and invasion of the tertiary virus. If the research is successful, the Z7 base will not only have the ability to initially treat the tertiary virus, but also can obtain other sources of income through the sale of drugs.

But with a soft noise in the test tube, choking smoke rose up. Even the layman Zero knew that the experiment had failed.

Old Jack patted Leah on the shoulder, who was crying. After comforting his granddaughter for a while, old Jack's eyes fell on Zero: "You come to the study with me, today I have a task for you."

He nodded and left the laboratory behind Old Jack.

After half an hour, he appeared in front of the gate of the work area.

The door was opening, and when there was a crack in the door for only one person to pass through, Zero went into the dark mining area.

What he received was a reconnaissance mission.

Recently, a miner discovered traces of gold swallowing insects in the depths of the operation area.

The gold swallowing worm looks like a maggot with a body length of more than 20 meters. Due to the lack of certain elements in the body of this kind of insects, they like to swallow metal minerals, and then use their strong stomach acid to disappear, and finally extract the necessary elements to provide to the body.

However, because of the special hobby of this kind of insects, they become the enemy of any mining area. Gold swallowing bugs will occupy mining areas as nests. They are asexually reproducing creatures. Often a gold swallowing bug can give birth to a nest of bugs in the coming year, which will make the mineral deposits in an area vanish.

The eyesight of the gold-swallowing bug has been degraded, but it lives underground and swallows metal, but the skin of the bug’s body is comparable to the armor of strong fat materials. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has good impact resistance and blasting resistance, so it is very Hard to be killed. Therefore, various mining bases hate this kind of bugs, but also feel a headache.

Zero’s mission is to survey the bottom of the mining area. Once the gold swallowing bugs are found, what Zero needs to do is to collect various information such as the number and path of the bugs. It was so convenient for Old Jack to decide whether he should ask the headquarters for support, or abandon the mining area.

The risk of reconnaissance missions is relatively low, and the lower the reward for zero. After the completion of this mission, nothing was paid for nothing but 20 yuan. But Zero didn't refuse. If he didn't give a job, he would only earn this little money for one month's salary.

Riding on the old Jack’s minecart to the bottom of the work area, led by a miner named Nick, Zero came to a mine. Pieces of natural copper ore are also exposed on the wall of the mine, but a circular passage appears on the other side of the wall. There is something resembling body fluid in the passage. The off-white liquid is left by the gold swallowing bug. It acts as a lubricant, allowing the gold swallowing corpse to quickly swim underground.

And this passage was naturally drilled out by a gold swallowing bug, whose mouthparts are covered with sharp inverted teeth. In addition to breaking metal easily, it can also dig a large amount of mud and stone. However, these substances that are not needed by the gold-swallowed bug will quickly be melted into a mud stream and discharged from its anus, without occupying the capacity of the stomach bag.

Ling wiped his hands on the clean wall with the insect fluid. He asked Nick to go back to work, but he crawled into the passage where the gold swallowing bugs infested.

He must confirm where the bug went? Are you passing through the mining area, or are you planning to make a home here?
