Zero turned his back to the adjutant and did not respond. Instead, he nodded to show that he understood. He patted the cover of the book and shook off the crumbs on the dried book, as if he was afraid of breaking it by using too much force.
, gently opened it, flipped through the introduction, preface and table of contents, and went to the main text. Seeing that the neat ink fonts were still clear, and the blurring did not affect subsequent reading, I closed the book, held it in my hand, stood up, turned around, and looked at the adjutant.
.
“First, collect the corpses of creatures that are huge in size, have special shapes and colors, and are difficult to fight in battle, seal them, choose a location to store them, arrange for several people to guard them, and wait for the logistics transport team to transport them away;
Second, the remaining corpses are disposed of according to the pit burial method, and the best quality type of bacterial agent is used to eliminate pollution and accelerate decay, and the dose is twice the theoretically calculated value;
Third, gather members above the team leader to form an exploration team to explore the entrance and exit of the underground world that suddenly appeared, and explore the specific situation. The extent of exploration is limited to seeing the root system tissue on the surface, and we must not continue to descend. I cannot handle the dangers further down.
To protect you in time, I hope you will remind them of this;
Fourth, detach most of the team's medical members to treat injured members within the surrounding area until doctors from the nearest city arrive. Of course, this is if there are still doctors who can come. Remember to contact people from the nearest city
Actively contact and explain the situation here. The time node is set at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you can't get it, just leave some of the medicine and the team will move towards the destination as planned;
Fifth and finally, in twenty minutes, I will go to the scene. Hopefully it will have been cleaned by then."
Zero gave a slight nod at the end of his words. After watching the adjutant leave, he took a few steps to the center of the spacious villa hall where the door had been broken. A blackened skeleton of a creature lay quietly there. There were still chances around him.
Light smoke rises. The creature's skeleton has a wolf-like skull, twice the size of an adult body, with three rows of sharp teeth. It has withstood the high temperature and still retains some white color. In the center of the skull, there is a fist-sized
The hole pours directly from right above the brain.
The excess material on the skeleton has been melted and evaporated, and the remaining material is dark, but has the metallic luster of smelting. The skeleton is also a trophy this time, but it is only processed at the end.
All the chairs in the hall were damaged. Zero could only kick the charred skull off the spine and use it as a temporary stool. He sat on it, chose a comfortable position, opened the book and started reading.
He flipped through the book very quickly, and the twenty minutes just mentioned were not a random time, it was exactly the length of time he could read it completely.
Amidst the distant and faint sound of rain falling outside the hall, the bustle of moving people joined in. Zero just listened, and with only a small amount of energy, he was able to monitor the complete situation outside. For a while, there were only people flipping through books in the hall.
The sound is embedded in ambient sounds.
When the bell on the wall of the hall rang at the right time, Number Zero, who had just finished reading the last page, closed the book, stood up from his skull, looked around, and finally placed the book on the wall clock before walking out of the hall.
I don’t know how long it took for the invisible bioelectric induction force field to unfold. The sound of rain outside the villa hall always came from a distance. Within the range that Zero saw when he walked out of the hall, an invisible barrier was already in mid-air, evaporating all the time.
The falling heavy rain made the surrounding area a rare dry scene.
The busy team members were nearing the end of their work. The corpse disposal was finally completed without any danger when Zero passed through a piece of building debris and reached the huge hole with a diameter of about 400 meters. The two adjutants
He quickly went to his side and spoke when he stopped.
"The exploration team has arrived at the outer edge of the root system. The tree roots are full of signs of being eaten, and the gray-white viscous liquid has almost been secreted not long ago." As he said, the adjutant handed over the communicator under the LAN, but was blocked by Zero.
open.
No. 0 leaned over and raised half of his body to the sky above the pit. His bright red cross pupils lit up and then became round. The burning light seemed to directly penetrate all the darkness in the pit.
"There are many shadows of hollow corridors near the bottom, which should be connected to a larger cavity in the underground world. As for where it is,,," Standing straight, No. 0 looked to the left and ahead, at the gray-white space under the rain curtain.
, nothing could be seen. But the panoramic map in his head told him that that direction should be the location of an extreme realm, a swamp area full of toxic substances, and the main source of raw materials for biological poisons and reagents in the empire.
one.
"The emergence of underground creatures that are not contaminated with biological toxicity may be a sign of our luck. But next time, we may not be so lucky. Books often say that luck often does not last forever, but will alternate with disaster."
He told his adjutant, "This information has also been notified to members in nearby major cities. Whether they are alert and fully prepared is beyond our control. But in the Holy Emperor's Church branch in this area,
Order them to form a team."
"Sir, will this cause a conflict of authority in the management scope? The person in charge of this area is,,,"
Before the adjutant finished speaking, he was interrupted by No. 0, "They don't accept it, so you contact the headquarters of the Holy Emperor's Hall and bring the new research base with you, indicating that the person in charge of this area has been eroded by pollution to a very strong extent. There is no
There's not the slightest chance of a cure, if I initiate the cleanup process. They know how to do it, a simple multiple choice question."
The adjutant nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Let the investigation team come up, collect the information, and send it back to the intelligence agency." Zero continued, his voice always had a mechanical coldness and no emotion at all. He turned around, and was about to go to the place where the corpses were stored, when his footsteps stopped.
It has stopped - in my mental perception, another adjutant was running quickly from the position of the communication vehicle, and the captured expression contained too much shock and surprise.
"Sir! Urgent communication from the Holy Emperor's Hall and the new research base!"
The adjutant stopped steadily beside Zero a few seconds later. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his voice and said, "The small countries are close to the border of the Flame Alliance. A battle broke out an hour ago. One side is the joint team of the Flame Alliance and the Nature Association.
The other party is a member of the Chiraandi family alliance among the small countries. The brief contact between the two parties ended with the death of the joint team leader and several team leaders,,,"
The adjutant took a short breath at this time, "According to the information of the members who dispersed and escaped, the enemy who quickly killed the commander of the joint team was extremely suspected to be Cassia... who was confirmed dead in the southern forest incident a few years ago.
Kira Andi.”
"Subsequently, the senior members of the Nature Association who left for support confirmed that his identity was almost certain, but it is still not ruled out that he was a stand-in member forged by the enemy!"
"Well,,," No. 0's words were still emotionless, but no longer cold, "Kasia Qilaandi has long been confirmed to be dead. This enemy is most likely a trained substitute. I
Information received."
"Wait until the exploration team comes up, and the team will prepare and rest." Number Zero continued, and then walked towards the place where the corpses of the underground creatures were stored. After a dozen steps, he turned to look at the adjutant just now.
"Follow me at any time. If you have the latest news, please tell me immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
No. 0 tilted his head, and other words came into his mind: "Mr. Cassia, after the war has been delayed for several months, is it finally about to start at your place?"
