Chitaki hesitated and finally said, "I just received the latest news that I was promoted."
Milo was also very surprised when he heard Chitaki's words, "You go back and rest first. I will help you check on your promotion and see who gave you the position."
"Okay." Chitaki nodded.
After struggling for a long time, Chitaki dragged his exhausted body back home. He took off his colonial armor and put it aside. He then took out the dark blue gem from the colonial armor. He didn't know it was because it was from the crown.
This gemstone loses its brilliance due to removal or other reasons, but its luster is still very beautiful.
Chitaki glanced at it for a few times, but found nothing special about it, so he put it away.
He lay on the bed and soon fell asleep. He was indeed very tired.
On the other side, in the central control room of the base, Terenceus was still sitting on the chair, waiting for feedback from his subordinates on the search.
Unfortunately, getting feedback is not good news.
The search team was constantly attacked by the remaining guards of the base, and there was even news that the entire exploration team was wiped out.
Based on the feedback information, Terenceus used different colors to mark the degree of danger on the schematic map of the base.
Of course, this is just a mark. No matter how dangerous it is, he will let people explore it. Nothing will stop until the stone slab is found.
The door to the command room opened, and Lan Li and Edmund walked in.
"Terrence, stop your large-scale search. This will only cause serious losses to personnel. Exploring this base will take time, not immediately." Lan Li said.
"What we lack most is time." Terenceus replied, staring at the screen.
"Didn't we take over this base? Didn't the Lanqi tribe also get wiped out?" Edmund said with a frown.
"That's just part of it. This planet itself is very dangerous. For the simplest example, those sleeping monsters outside the base, do you really think they will sleep forever? Let me tell you this, suddenly appeared in this base
What kind of monster, it’s not surprising that he slaughtered us all.” Terenceus raised his head and said calmly.
"Since you know such a dangerous situation, you are still so radical, that is the most stupid and dangerous thing." Lan Li simply did not accept Terenceus's idea.
"If you have any different opinions on my command, you can go to the Parliament and tell it." Terenceus replied.
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Lan Li finally turned around and left, with Edmund following closely behind.
"Move the equipment that everyone can use as soon as possible." Lan Li asked Edmund this time.
Edmund nodded and replied, "It hasn't stopped for a minute. Master Lan Li, are you also in a hurry?"
"Although I dislike Terenceus very much, I have to admit that some of his statements are correct." Lan Li replied.
Time passes day by day, and it has been four days since Terenceus settled in the central control room of the base. In these four days, Terenceus basically searched 80% of the entire base, but unfortunately he still did not find what he wanted.
slate.
Terenceus' face grew uglier with each passing day.
Arman hurriedly walked in, and the people in the control room couldn't help but look at Arman. Although they didn't know what was wrong, they looked like something had happened.
"Something happened to Lord Terenceus."
"What's going on?" Terenceus asked calmly.
"Six teams entered the designated G4 area, and all lost contact. There was no response from the subsequent teams." Arman's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
Terenceus said, "Has anyone explored the g4 area before?"
"No, that area is an unexplored area, and the data in the central system shows that area is a grocery area." An operator called up relevant information.
"Use the exploration device to report back the situation in the G4 area." Terenceus said.
"Yes." Arman said.
Not long after, at the edge of the G4 area, a team of personnel came over in mechas. They did not enter the G4 area, but opened the throwing port, and black balls fell to the ground one after another.
The black ball that fell on the ground split open in the middle, and densely packed small mechanical reptiles crawled in quickly.
"Start receiving image information."
On the screen in the control room, densely packed image angles appeared.
As the small mechanical crawlers quickly entered, they began to see the inside of the g4 area.
The entire G4 area is very dark inside, and the crawler has turned on the night vision mode.
Gulu!
Gulu! Gulu!
"What's the sound?" The team that controlled the reptile couldn't help but ask when they heard the strange sounds mixed in the feedback image.
The leader frowned and said, "Quiet, operate the reptile and move closer to the source of the sound to see what it is."
"yes."
The crawler begins to determine the source of the sound and changes its direction.
After crawling for a few minutes, suddenly several figures appeared in the field of vision.
"I can't see clearly," said one of the operators.
"Get closer." The leader gave the order.
The reptile got closer and its figure became clearer.
"Zoom in, zoom in, you'll see clearly now."
I saw five familiar faces appearing in front of the operator. The operator was also startled. Aren't these the members of the exploration team who went in before? They are not dead?
"Why are you closing your eyes?" The operator couldn't help but get closer to the screen, and his eyes almost touched it.
Suddenly, the five people opened their eyes instantly, and the screen image suddenly went out.
"Ah!" The operator hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.
"What happened? The equipment is broken?" In the central control room, the people watching were also very surprised.
At this time, the communication rang, the voice of the team leader.
"Report, all the crawlers have lost contact. We found the whereabouts of the people who entered before, and they are suspected to be alive."
Terenceus said calmly, "Christine, what do you think?"
Christine didn't know when he stood next to Terenceus. He didn't answer Terenceus's words, but spoke.
"Rewind the image."
"yes."
The operator started to move the image back, and the image just moved back a little.
"stop."
The scene freezes at the moment when the five faces are seen.
"Fall back." Christine watched for a while and continued to give the order.
The image is back to when I first noticed them.
"Stop." Kristen said again.
"It's too blurry, I can't see anything clearly," the operator said doubtfully.
Christine squinted her eyes and said, "Switch to alpha mode to watch."
Note: Alpha mode restores the optical image to optical particles and magnetic fields, presenting another world of captured images.
"Converting parsing."
Then the screen began to refresh, and a figure composed of five blue particles appeared in front of him.
