Chapter 138 Investigation Station
Chapter 138 Investigation Station
"There are still people in this building."
He controlled the drone and circled twice over the building.
Su Wu determined that this was a special building, like the ground residential area in Chongzhou City, equipped with the Federation's most advanced insulation materials.
But more intelligence is only available through the cameras on combat-focused drones.
It cannot be detected either.
I thought about it.
Su Wu ordered the real reconnaissance drones and the remaining combat drone clusters to fly there.
Soon, scanned by more professional equipment.
Su Wu discovered that there were a large number of instruments and equipment for external observation in this building, as well as five humans who were still active.
"A scientific research station?"
Su Wu fell into a state of contemplation.
And just when he was still hesitating about how to get in.
Several people inside the building also discovered the large number of armed drones surrounding them.
A man in protective clothing with his hands raised above his head.
Some of them walked out of the building tremblingly.
"Don't do it, we can discuss it."
Su Wu raised his eyebrows.
Since someone is willing to come out and communicate, then this will be easy.
Lower the reconnaissance drone.
Su Wu signaled them to connect to the local area network temporarily set up by the drone and communicate through the network.
After a minute or two.
A middle-aged woman appeared on the video call in front of Su Wu.
"Hello, I'm Nora, the station chief of the Myrak Research Station."
"May I ask what you want to do at our research station?"
Nora's tone was flat.
But from the occasional fleeting expression of nervousness on her face.
But it can be seen that she is not as calm as she appears.
"Where did you find this kind of thing?"
Su Wu had no habit of being a riddle teller.
A photo of Amethyst's childhood was directly displayed.
“This one seems familiar.”
Nora hesitated for a moment.
Then he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"More than half a month ago, right after the earthquake, Jiang Yi brought back something similar to this."
"Then it seemed to be thrown into the utility room."
"Are you looking for it?"
"Is there any food in the utility room? Flowers and plants would count."
Su Wu's eyes sank slightly, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have seen this scene before.
"No, there are some tools and materials for experiments in there."
Nora answered honestly.
"Then get someone to bring it out."
"Also, it's best to put on protective clothing before going over there."
Su Wu made his request in an unquestionable tone.
"please wait for a moment."
"I gonna go see."
Nora sensed something was wrong in Su Wu's last words, and her expression changed slightly.
But she obviously still has some responsibility.
After realizing the danger, he did not use others to block the bullet, but planned to go there himself.
A few minutes later.
Su Wu through drone footage.
Nora was seen wearing a bulky and thick protective suit.
A fist-sized purple crystal was brought outside the research station.
"Put it on the ground and stay away."
Su Wu gave a hint using the horn on the drone.
Seeing Nora obediently put down the purple crystal and took a few steps back.
Su Wu no longer waited.
Immediately control a main combat drone.
Fire at the purple crystal.
The specially made brass bullet rotates and drills into the amethyst rock-like shell.
Then a small explosion occurred inside.
After a few seconds.
The flames and a little smoke slowly drifted out through the holes made by the bullets.
"What is this?"
Nora retreated back to the research station.
There was no time to take off the protective clothing.
He ran to the communicator breathlessly and sought answers from Su Wu.
"A ferocious young monster."
"The kind that eats people."
Su Wu commanded a drone to pick up the remains of the purple crystal and bring it back to the advanced laboratory.
He answered for Nora without hesitation.
"Is this an alien creature?"
When Nora heard Su Wu's words, she made a subconscious judgment.
The appearance of Amethyst was completely different from any creature in nature that she knew.
The only explanation is alien life.
"I hope it's alien."
"But it's a pity."
"Based on the intelligence we have so far."
"They are more likely to come from deep underground."
Su Wu really felt a little regretful.
If they are from outer space, at least there won’t be many of them.
It is also easy to find the origin.
It can be born from the asthenosphere in the upper layer of the mantle, an underground world that is larger than the ocean.
Then there is no effective way to defend against it.
We can only wait passively for them, not knowing when they will emerge from the ground again and compete with humans for the increasingly scarce food.
"Deep underground."
"Are there a lot of these monsters?"
Nora immediately realized the cruel reality hidden in Su Wu's words, and her face turned pale.
That was really frightening.
Although she still doesn't know how Amethyst committed the murder.
But just looking at Su Wu's large formation.
I knew that it was definitely not something that could be easily dealt with.
If these monsters were to become rampant, it would be an unimaginable disaster.
Especially for an expedition station like theirs located in a remote area, they have no power to resist at all.
"It's widely distributed, not only here, but also in Chongzhou."
"On condition."
"You'd better try to get out of here as soon as possible."
Su Wu said frankly.
"Thank you, we will apply to our superiors."
"Do you have more information about those monsters?"
"Can you send us a copy too?"
Seeing that Su Wu's attitude was pretty good, Nora asked tentatively.
"no problem."
"The more people know about this, the better."
"Also, there are remains of that monster in Chongzhou City."
"If you need anything, you can contact Chongzhou City."
Su Wu agreed quite readily.
In fact, even if Nora didn't say it, he would take the initiative to give them a copy of the relevant research materials.
Nothing else.
Just so that more people can be alert to amethyst.
If you can save one, count it as one.
Recovered the amethyst corpse from the research station.
Su Wu continued to wait in the canyon for several hours.
Wait until the advanced laboratory has finished analyzing the newly arrived amethyst corpse.
Only then did the base vehicle return to its stationary mode.
Continue heading northwest.
The many disasters that amethyst may cause are problems that will only cause headaches in the future.
Before this.
The most important thing for Su Wu is still to prioritize completing the golden daily task of border exploration.
Get the golden scales that are so important to him.
Only with the golden scale would he be qualified to leave the small place of Jianghe City.
Step into a wider world.
