Only then did Lassalei stand up and say slowly:
"I agree to carry out a comprehensive inspection, but only one-third of the mobile force can be deployed."
The researcher exclaimed in shock, "That's right.
"Huh? What's wrong? "
Lassalei shook his head and said:
"According to the analysis of various data, Research Lab 1 is responsible for cultivating mechanical organs, while Research Lab 2 is responsible for modulating larvae."
"However, most of the resources will be concentrated in the third area that we have now divided. That area should be a comprehensive area that gathers training, mutation, combat, and other functions. Now, we have named it the testing field. I think that we will be able to obtain more benefits there."
At this moment, Lassalei's words were suddenly interrupted by someone.
A researcher began to shout:
"Type B emergency! I repeat, Type B emergency. The No. 7 probe creature we sent suddenly lost its signal. According to the analysis sent back from the scene, it was directly killed in just a few seconds. It didn't even make the most basic resistance before it died. "
Hearing this, Lassalei immediately frowned and said:
"Where did the No. 7 probe creature explore?"
At his order, someone immediately began to retrieve the relevant video. A temporary electronic map that had been produced was projected in front of Lassalei. The route of the No. 7 probe creature was marked on it.
At the same time, the live video projection transmitted back began to play on the screen on the right side of the electronic map. The video projection was shot by the miniature camera hanging on the neck of the No. 7 probe creature. The resolution was very good.
At the same time, the researcher in charge of monitoring said:
"The No. 7 probe creature was released an hour ago. It was one of the first probe creatures released. Its model is a special infected: Hunter. It's good at climbing and jumping."
"According to the detection route, it went through six forks along the way, but it went in the direction we set in advance."
"During this period, we encountered two noteworthy things. One of them was that we arrived at a huge underground lake 41 minutes and 32 seconds after the launch."
"The second thing happened at the 46th minute and 17th second after the release. The Hunter sensed something unusual and stayed where he was for a total of 14 seconds. Since the Hunter's sensory organs are eleven times more sensitive than a human's and the camera didn't record anything unusual, there's no way to tell what happened.
After the researcher reported up to this point, Lassalei waved his hand and asked him to pause the video.
"The No. 7 probe creature met with an accident at 64 minutes after it was sent out?"
The researcher said,
"Yes."
Lhasa Lei said:
"Is there a connection between the fact that it sensed the anomaly and its subsequent destruction?"
The researcher said,
"We can't rule out this possibility. After all, this special infection is a type that has never appeared before. In terms of this biological technology, Dakland's technical reserves are more thorough."
"From a logical point of view, the fact that the special infected body stayed in place means that it is very likely that it has developed an interest in the abnormal movement, and then it went to investigate it."
Lhasa Lei said:
"Very good, I got it. Continue playing the video."
The next video showed the infected creature arriving at a lakeside building.
However, after the researchers took a few glances at the building complex, they all felt that there wasn't much value in it. As experienced researchers, they could tell at a glance that the building complex was used for office and daily use. The buildings used for biochemical experiments were obviously different in appearance from these buildings.
However, when the No. 7 probe creature stepped on the street, the piles of bones on it still attracted some of their attention.
Then, the No. 7 probe creature suddenly looked around vigilantly. This was because it sensed Fang Linyan's drone, but the camera obviously didn't capture the drone, and the video couldn't reflect its true thoughts.
It was just that the sudden static picture made the viewers feel that the atmosphere was not right.
Then the picture stayed in place. Because the camera was on the chest of the No. 7 probe creature, it was static and couldn't capture its action of looking around.
Suddenly, the entire camera screen went black. Only the sound control system could still record all the sounds completely:
The violent explosion, the scream of the No. 7 probe creature, the low and strange roar (deliberately made by the goat), and the terrifying sound of teeth piercing and tearing flesh (actually, it was the sound of Fang Linyan piercing its body with the Bavarian blood spear).
Then, in just 5 or 6 seconds, everything was quiet.
Lhasa Lei crossed his hands and placed them on the desk in front of him,
"Tell me your opinion."
A researcher said,
"I'm responsible for environmental analysis. The place where the No. 7 probe creature was attacked is a building complex next to the underground lake. According to my research, this building complex is not used for research."
"Considering its special location, I suspect that this underground lake may be used as a supply and logistics base in Veronica's laboratory. The lake water can be used to raise fish, edible algae, etc."
"If the water level of the underground lake rises and falls frequently, it can also be used for power generation. Of course, it doesn't rule out that special experimental projects will be carried out in the lake water."
"My conclusion is that at least before the development of Research Institute No. 1, 2, and 3 is completed, there is no need to be distracted. It is very unwise to put the delicious steak on the plate at risk for the sake of a possible salad."
Lhasa Lei didn't comment, then he said to another researcher,
"Ampero, go ahead."
The researcher, Ampero, said,
"I'm in charge of risk assessment. The seventh scout creature we sent out was weak in terms of defense and HP, but that wasn't the reason why it was killed in a few seconds. In fact, it's quite sensitive to danger. It would've fled at the slightest sign of trouble."
"According to the feedback in the video, I suspect that the reason it was attacked is that it was targeted by a powerful predator. At the 46th minute and 17th second, the predator had already discovered the No. 7 probe creature, then it followed it quietly, and then launched a sudden attack! "
"Based on the analysis of the audio files that were sent back, this predator could approach the hunters without warning, create explosions, and bite them at close range. It didn't care about the dying counterattack of the seventh detection creature at all. The roar it made was very strange, and according to our analysis, it doesn't belong to any known creature. More importantly, its attack power is very strong."
"So, my conclusion is to temporarily freeze the exploration of this area and concentrate on the development of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 research institutes."
"Apart from that, I have to remind you of one thing. Although the other two competitors won't be able to send a strong team over in a short period of time, it's still possible for those small teams that are purely for the purpose of destruction to come! Therefore, the pressure on us is actually greater than expected. "
Lhasa Lei pondered for a while. Suddenly, a confidant beside him said,
"Sir, I have something to say."
Lhasa Lei pointed at him with his finger, then nodded to indicate permission.
The confidant said,
"Video, rewind it, to the second before the No. 7 probe creature was attacked."
His request was immediately satisfied.
Then, the confidant hit the pause button in time in front of the black screen.
What appeared on the screen was a blazing white light curtain, but the light appeared for less than 0.1 seconds before the camera screen went black, so it was ignored by the previous person.
The confidant said,
"The camera we're using is the PIUY-9 Dark Vision Camera. This kind of camera has excellent low-light sensitivity. Its lens uses the latest biological technology, so its light-sensitive software can collect weak light like a cat's eye."
"So, this camera can shoot excellent high-definition video even in very dark places, but this also causes it to become quite fragile when encountering strong light."
"The manual of this camera clearly states that pointing the camera at the sun under any circumstances may cause it to be damaged."
Speaking of this, the confidant pointed to the blazing white light curtain on the screen and said,
"Obviously, the camera on the No. 7 probe creature suddenly went black not because it suffered a powerful attack, but because it was directly exposed to a strong light!"
"According to my eight years of experience on the battlefield, the sudden burst of light is very similar to the explosion of a flash grenade at a short distance!"
"And the main target of this flash grenade attack is not the camera, but the No. 7 probe creature. It has dark vision, so its vision will also be greatly damaged under the flash grenade's illumination."
"So, my conclusion is that the one who attacked the No. 7 probe creature may not be a predator, but the remaining combatants of the Daklan Company or Fincher Company!"
"Therefore, we should treat this seriously, and immediately send people to eliminate these damned rats before they create a bigger mess!"
Obviously, the confidant's conclusion was completely opposite to Ampero's. This was undoubtedly a direct slap to the other party's face. Ampero was obviously not a person who could accept opinions with humility. He immediately frowned and said,
"You also said it's a possibility, right? Since it's something we have no confidence in, are we going to gamble with the little defensive power we have? If there's a huge danger there, we can't afford such a big loss now! "
