Huimao tilted his head and chewed with gusto. The others didn't want to look anymore after a single glance. The scene sent chills down their spines.
After glancing at the mummified biochemical orc, Knight shifted his gaze to the incubation nest covered in a layer of 'ice crystals'. He tapped it with his wrist blade to test the waters before extending his hand to touch it.
About ten centimeters below where Knight's finger touched, there was a biochemical orc that had just broken out of its membrane with its mouth wide open as if it was going to pounce at him in the next moment. However, its nervousness was frozen by this layer of 'ice crystals'.
Knight was beyond amazed when he sensed the analysis information transmitted through the protective suit. These 'ice crystals' were actually just water, but they didn't feel very cold. Moreover, through the analysis of the analyzer, Knight knew that the eggs in this incubation nest basically had no signs of life. The few eggs that were still alive had very weak signs of life and were extinguished in no time.
Knight tested the dagger in his hand. He cut off a corner and looked at the biochemical orc that was contained in the cut. This time, there really wasn't a single sign of life.
Crunching sounds rang in the air as Wheeze ran back to the 'frozen' nest after finishing the 'jerky'. Then, it opened its mouth and began to chew on the food.
Knight knocked on the 'ice crystal' he had cut off with his dagger. The force from his hand told him how hard this thing was, which was why he was even more impressed by Huimao's teeth and biting strength.
The others were curious when they saw Knight cut off a piece. They flicked out their blades to take a look, curious as to what this thing was.
Due to the effect of the water bomb, the water vapor in the surrounding area was forcefully absorbed. Many of the biochemical orcs that were swarming in this direction stayed far away. Those that could not avoid in time had a lot of water absorbed from their bodies, making them look a little shriveled. However, the biochemical orcs near the exit were not affected at all because there was a wide river next to the pharmaceutical factory and the humidity was high.
However, this blank period wouldn't last long. Due to geographical reasons, in addition to the explosion of the pharmaceutical factory and the excavation of Silin and the others, the underground laboratory had been unsealed. Moisture would seep in again.
"Let's look at other places," Silin said.
The others who were having fun cutting acknowledged and threw away the hard pieces they had cut off. However, they kept some small pieces in their hands to study when they were free. None of this was hidden from Silin, nor did they have any intention of hiding it.
After they were done dealing with things here, they walked over to where Ci Jincheng and the others were. That place used to be some experimental workshops, and they could see many dried corpses along the way. Those were the dried corpses that Ci Jincheng and the others had killed and then forcefully absorbed water to form. They had seen it before, so Knight and the others were no longer surprised when they saw it again.
"What do you think? Did you find anything? "Silin asked.
Ci Jincheng waved a device in his hand, "The data we can repair is limited, but this trip was not in vain."
Although he did not find any news about the Dream Tapir, he had obtained quite a lot of information about the biochemical orcs. The biggest threat at the current stage was indeed the Dream Tapir. However, nobody could tell if there would be more disasters like this after the Dream Tapir. There should be many underground incubation lair in some of Miracle's bases.
Puff!
A metal piece flew out from Czedow's side and nailed an animal that looked like a four-legged snake to death.
Ci Jincheng and the others didn't find it strange. Czedow had already killed a couple of these animals here. Although they weren't biochemical orcs, they could have been animals from this lab in the past. Therefore, they weren't too puzzled by Czedow's actions.
However, Silin sensed that something was wrong. He sensed a strange signal wave before he even entered the planet. After he arrived here, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu. Moreover, he felt that someone was watching over everything here.
Those animals were strange. It was only after Czedow killed them that the feeling of being watched in Silin's heart decreased a little.
"What's wrong?" Lung asked.
"I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching us," Silin answered.
"Now that you mention it, it is a little. However, I'm definitely not the one being watched." Lung crossed his arms and scratched as if he was rubbing goosebumps. If someone was watching him from the shadows, Lung would've noticed it himself. Right now, the feeling of being watched wasn't that strong, so it was obvious that the person behind him wasn't paying attention to him. Lung was certain of this.
"There's someone else?" The others exclaimed in surprise and looked around vigilantly.
Ci Jincheng didn't see any other humans through the life signature scan on his protective mask. There were only some scattered biochemical orcs and other small animals. However, Silin Helong definitely had his reasons for saying so. There must be someone watching them from the shadows. Was it someone from "Miracle"? Or was it someone else?
Silin looked around and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. After we're done gathering information here, we'll go check if there are similar underground incubators in other places. If there are, we'll take them out immediately."
"Mn, this is indeed a top priority." Ci Jincheng looked at the information Kang Man sent back. An aircraft had crashed on this planet in the past two days, and it was probably from the Central Transit Star. However, there was no virus spread, so it was possible that the people who came here weren't infected. It was also possible that they had been taken care of. In short, there were no signs of virus spreading, but there were definitely battles happening in other places.
"Let's go out and blow this place up. The other two large pharmaceutical factories must have some secrets." Ci Jincheng put away the instruments in his hands and returned along the road.
When they saw that 'frozen' incubator, Ci Jincheng and the others were also stunned. Combining the scene before them with what they saw earlier, it was impossible for them not to be shocked. Right now, Huimao was still clinging to it and gnawing on it. However, since they were in a hurry, they didn't stay for long. Silin twisted Huimao off the 'frozen' incubator and waited for Knight to install the bomb before they quickly retreated.
Without the biochemical orcs to continue incubating, the new generation of biochemical orcs wouldn't be able to reproduce so quickly. Right now, the number of biochemical orcs was one by one, and there wouldn't be any new ones for the time being. This did reduce a lot of pressure.
After they retreated from the underground lab, Kang Man had already flown the aircraft over after receiving the notice and descended above the pharmaceutical factory.
They still split into two groups, one group to cover, the other to jump onto the landing boards.
Some of the surrounding biochemical orcs saw the scene and gathered over.
However, after Silin and the others jumped onto the landing boards, the aircraft started pulling up.
Knight raised his finger and started counting down.
"Five … Four … Three … Two … One … Explode!"
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded. It started from the underground lab and blew up some of the rocks on the surface of the earth's crust. When the explosion spread out, the biochemical orcs that ran over couldn't escape at all and were sucked into the explosion and blown to smithereens. The entire pharmaceutical factory was now truly uprooted, uprooted from the roots. The 'frozen' incubator was also reduced to ashes in this explosion.
The people hiding in the residential area saw the scene and felt hope rise in their hearts again. They knew that the biochemical orcs came from there, but they couldn't get close at all. Even if they did, the people who risked their lives to get there couldn't find the biochemical orcs' nests. This explosion had greatly reduced the gloom in their hearts.
"Let's go to the next pharmaceutical factory."
The people who entered the aircraft looked at the other two large pharmaceutical factories on the screen and the reports sent back by the detectors. There weren't a large number of biochemical orcs there, only a small number of biochemical beasts. Then there were the battles between local forces.
"We didn't detect any signal from the incubator. There might be signal interference too. But where should we go next? These two pharmaceutical factories are still quite far away from each other, "Kang Man said.
The three largest pharmaceutical factories were located in three different places on the planet, forming a tripartite balance. However, it was unknown whether all three of these pharmaceutical factories were supported by "Miracle", but it was true that these three pharmaceutical factories had once ruled the planet.
"This one," Silin pointed at one of the factories and said, "Let's go to this factory first. I think we'll find something."
Kang Man looked at Ci Jincheng. Ci Jincheng nodded, "If no one else has any objections, then let's go to this factory first."
The others didn't care. They didn't know the difference between the two factories anyway. However, the battles in the areas where these two factories were located were pretty intense. Even the internal battles were in full swing, and they weren't affected by the biochemical orcs here at all. But if the new biochemical orcs hatched from the underground incubator and spread to the other side, it would be too late for them to fight back.
The pharmaceutical factory that Cillin had pointed out looked more thoroughly destroyed than the other two, but Cillin could sense a strange signal coming from it. He wanted to go and see what was going on. He had a feeling that he would definitely gain a lot this time.
The destruction over there was more complete, but the battle over there was quite intense. It didn't lose to the people in the other two places at all.
"What are they fighting over?" Pride asked.
The area where the pharmaceutical factory was located was already so destroyed, but the forces there were still fighting over that territory. They knew the situation over there from some of the intercepted communications.
The three forces were fighting over the ruined pharmaceutical factory. The problem was, what was there to fight over in a pile of ruins?
"There must be some secret down there."
"From those people's communications, we only know that there's also a base down there. They think that there must be some flying tools down there, that's why they're fighting so desperately." Ci Jincheng explained to everyone, "Since the management of the pharmaceutical factory had taken away all the flying tools that could leave the planet when they left, the people here can only attack that underground base if they want to take refuge outside without flying tools."
"There's really flying tools down there?" The others were puzzled.
Ci Jincheng shook his head, "I don't know. There's a barrier around the pharmaceutical factory, so we'll only know when we get there. But one thing is for sure, there's definitely a secret down there. We just don't know what it is."
"Those people couldn't find the secret down there no matter how hard they fought?" Silin asked curiously.
"Before they figured it out, they forbade anyone from stepping foot into the pharmaceutical factory. However, they mentioned 'that thing' in their communications. I don't know what this word means. "Ci Jincheng looked at the information in his hands and said.
Silin thinks for a moment, "Then let's drag a few people over and interrogate them first. After all, we won't get much substance even if we steal communications. We might as well drag a few key personnel over and interrogate them."
"Makes sense, I agree." Knight preferred direct methods like this.
"Drag who?" Pride asked.
"If we're going to drag, drag the leader, of course."
The spaceplane flew towards the pharmaceutical factory that Cillin had mentioned. Meanwhile, the battle there was still going on. The three forces had never stopped fighting each other for a single moment.
On a mountain near the city cluster where the pharmaceutical factory was located, inside a building that could be considered luxurious compared to the buildings here.
"Boss, those people snuck towards the pharmaceutical factory again today. If we hadn't discovered them early, they probably would've succeeded!"
A young man said angrily inside the office.
A middle-aged man sat behind a square table in front of the young man. He listened to his subordinate's report with his hands crossed and rubbed the ring on his thumb.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment as he listened to his subordinate's report. Then, he waved his hand and said solemnly, "If they sneak in again and ignore the rules, don't do anything and let them go. You guys just follow behind."
"You're saying …"
"If they're in a hurry, then let them deal with that monster first. They all want to be the fisherman who benefits from the fight, but none of them have the patience. We might as well wait and let them go first. "
The young man was a quick-witted person. He immediately understood the middle-aged man's words.
"I understand. I'll instruct them now." Seeing that the middle-aged man did not say anything else, he excused himself and closed the door.
After the young man left, the middle-aged man sitting on the chair frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he let out a long sigh and got up to walk to the wall next to him. He pressed his palm against a spot and a light flashed on it. Then, he pulled the wall up from the bottom.
On the other side of the wall was a warehouse. There was a small aircraft in the warehouse. However, the aircraft was too small and could not accommodate many people. Moreover, the equipment was very simple and crude. It would be dangerous to travel long distances with it.
According to the information he had received, the threat had already begun to spread on this planet. Outside this planet, there were virus disasters on other planets. No one knew what would happen to this planet in the next moment. Everyone wanted to find an aircraft to leave this place and find a new shelter. However, this was his root. It was the territory that they had worked hard to obtain for generations. It would be a waste to abandon all these resources and manpower.
The middle-aged man caressed the aircraft. If the situation was really serious, he could only abandon everything here and leave.
As he was thinking, the middle-aged man suddenly saw a shadow flash past the outer shell of the aircraft.
"Who is it?!" The middle-aged man quickly took out his gun and looked around vigilantly. However, he did not find anything unusual after looking around. However, when he turned to look at the aircraft again, he found a cat squatting on it. It was a gray, fat cat.
The middle-aged man raised his gun and pointed it at Huimao. His face was twitching nervously. Perhaps it was because he knew some of the secrets of the pharmaceutical factory here. Compared to humans, those strange animals made him feel more threatened.
Huimao did not react to the gun in the middle-aged man's hand. Instead, he opened his round eyes and looked at him quietly. Because the lighting in this place was dimmer, Huimao's pupils appeared larger. When it was curious, excited, or when it saw prey, its pupils would also dilate. These factors combined made the middle-aged man feel that this pair of eyes was particularly strange. It was not as calm and composed as it was in front of his subordinates.
He did not shoot immediately. He was not sure of the origin of this cat. He knew that some animals should not be provoked. If they were provoked, there would be no way out. Therefore, with the middle-aged man's cautious personality, he only raised the gun and pointed it at Huimao. He did not pull the trigger. When he pointed at Huimao, he gradually retreated. When he retreated to the wall, he used his other hand to pat the wall, but his eyes were fixed on Huimao.
The middle-aged man could feel the switch on the wall with his eyes closed, so he did not doubt that he had hit the wrong place. However, after a few pats, the wall did not respond at all.
Cold sweat dripped from the middle-aged man's forehead.
"You … Where did you come from?"
Huimao ignored him.
Seeing that Huimao did not respond, the middle-aged man looked for a few more exit switches. He even tried the switch that controlled the aircraft's take-off port, which had not been used for many years, but it did not respond at all.
All the exit switches had failed, and he was trapped there. Most importantly, this place was soundproof. The people inside could not hear the sounds outside. If there was a shooting inside, the people outside would not hear it either.
Huimao was watching the middle-aged man in front of it, looking for a place to escape. It was so anxious that it was sweating profusely. It was squatting there calmly, enjoying the fun.
"Stop wasting time," a voice said. The voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear in this quiet place.
This made the middle-aged man even more nervous than before. He looked around, but there was no one else. There were no alarms, no scanners, and no intruders.
"Who is it? Who is it?! "the middle-aged man shouted.
He had just shouted when he discovered that the cat that was squatting on the aircraft had disappeared!
Then, a shadow flashed by. The middle-aged man did not have the time to shoot at all, and he did not see it clearly at all.
Thud!
A muffled sound later, the middle-aged man collapsed.
Huimao tilted his head and looked at the man on the ground. Then, he turned around and said innocently, "I really didn't do it on purpose. I didn't think that this guy would be so weak. Does he have a concussion? Will he lose his memory? Will he turn into an idiot? "
Czedow gradually appeared in the direction Huimao was facing. After shooting a glance at the man on the ground, he said calmly, "It's fine. Let's hurry and leave."
It was Czedow who had urged Huimao to leave just now.
This time, they were going to capture the leaders of the three forces and interrogate them. As the leader of the forces in this area, their defenses should be pretty good. At the very least, it was one of the better ones on this planet. However, it was really not enough for Silin and the others, not to mention Huimao and Czedow who were more familiar with these things.
Czedow walked over and picked up the unconscious man on the ground like he was picking up a chicken. Then, he left. No one inside the building knew that their boss had been knocked unconscious and taken away.
