Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Zhu Ziwen's expression twisted as he looked at the group of lost giant insects rushing towards the apron.

"This, this is impossible!!!"

His hands trembled slightly, and he quickly adjusted the image in the holographic projection.

In the image, there were more and more dark green light spots around the apron.

It seemed that these lost giant insects were guided by something and gathered in this abrupt area!

There was no dead angle, and the entire apron was completely wrapped up.

"According to the previous detection data, although these giant insects are more active at night, they are mainly concentrated around the water area!"

"Why did they come here for no reason?!"

Hearing this, Xia Zhou frowned immediately.

But the increasingly sharp alarm interrupted his thoughts, and he raised his hand and pulled Zhu Ziwen hard.

"Don't worry about these reasons!"

"They will attack at any time, you go back to the starship first!"

Zhu Ziwen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What about you?"

Xia Zhou turned his head and looked at the planetary explorers who had not yet returned to the starship.

"We have to wait for people."

"Everyone pay attention, turn on the radiation imaging function."

Xia Zhou's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Prepare for the first wave of impact."

"Cover your teammates into the starship!"

The radiation imaging function is an additional function of the second-generation exoskeleton armor.

Its function is similar to that of a radiation detector.

However, it can use zero computing power to simulate the detected radiation data in real time.

In other words, those lost giant insects with extremely powerful stealth capabilities will reveal their true colors in front of the second-generation exoskeleton armor with the radiation imaging function turned on!

Zhu Ziwen stood in place, silently observing Xia Zhou, Su Pengfei and others who were fully armed in just a few seconds.

At the same time, he used the brain wave reading device to quickly record the defects he observed.

[The plasma cannon is too slow to deploy...]

[The position of the Type III laser cannon needs to be improved...]

[...]

"Hey! Buddy, it's already so late, stop being in a daze!"

Su Pengfei noticed Zhu Ziwen standing there in a daze, and shouted angrily and anxiously: "Go back to the starship! When they attack, we won't have time to take care of you!"

Seeing that Zhu Ziwen didn't respond, he turned around and asked Xia Zhou for help.

"Captain Xia! Academician Zhu is scared silly, quickly control the exoskeleton armor and let Academician Zhu go back to the starship!"

Zhu Ziwen suddenly came to his senses: "???"

The next second, he felt an irresistible force coming from his limbs.

Seeing that his body was forced to walk towards the starship hatch under the drive of the exoskeleton device, he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Captain Xia! Captain Xia!"

"Wait!!!"

The mechanical exoskeleton stopped its movement.

"What's going on?!" Xia Zhou was a little anxious, and his tone became heavier. "Academician Zhu, this is not the time to joke! You..."

"I need to observe the actual combat scene of the exoskeleton armor!"

Zhu Ziwen raised his voice and drowned out Xia Zhou's voice: "For the development of the next generation of exoskeleton armor!"

Xia Zhou: "..."

He frowned and snorted softly, but still unlocked the control permission of the exoskeleton armor.

"Su Daizi! You are responsible for protecting Academician Zhu!"

"If Academician Zhu gets into trouble, you will die!"

"Did you hear that clearly!"

"Yes!" Su Pengfei straightened up and responded loudly.

...

As the explorers arrived near the starship, the dark green light spots in the radiation detector gradually increased in speed.

They began to get restless.

The sharp hissing mixed with the rustling sound of the giant insect moving its body filled the entire "helipad".

But even so, the forest under the high-power searchlight was still extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

This strange picture with a huge difference made Zhu Ziwen shudder slightly.

"Gulp..."

Zhu Ziwen wiped away the cold sweat and swallowed hard.

Suddenly!

The alarm sounded by the detector reached its peak, and the rapid beeps almost became one!

"Here we come!"

Xia Zhou's shout rang out in the communication channel: "All explorers, form a battle formation immediately in small teams!"

The moment the voice fell, something strange happened!

Under the illumination of the searchlight, a series of dense footprints appeared in the area where the forest and the apron meet!

But Zhu Ziwen's attention was not on these footprints.

He looked at the scene in the forest with rapid breathing, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable fear!

Tree roots!

Overwhelming tree roots!

He finally knew why these lost giant insects changed their habits and ran to the vicinity of the apron!

It was the giant trees who did it!

They used the tree roots to drive these giant insects to this area like driving sheep!

Suddenly, an incredible idea came to Zhu Ziwen's mind.

Looking at the extremely skilled operation of these giant trees...

Is it possible that these lost giant insects are livestock raised by them?

As soon as this idea emerged, it kept lingering in Zhu Ziwen's mind.

"Beep!"

The electronic synthesized sound sounded: "Radiation imaging function has been turned on."

The picture in front of him suddenly changed.

The whole world turned into a faint fluorescent green!

Zhu Ziwen also successfully saw the appearance of those lost giant insects.

Although this is still an image simulated by Zero through various data, it is very close to the real picture.

"Wo Shi, you immortal board!"

The moment he saw the picture clearly, a scream came from Zhu Ziwen's mouth: "Zero! You call this thing a watermelon worm?!"

"This is not a watermelon worm at all!"

"This is simply a large centipede!!!"

Zhu Ziwen's face was pale, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at the group of giant centipedes with majestic faces.

Although the size is similar, the appearance of watermelon worms and centipedes is completely different from the visual impact!

(I won't post the picture. If you are interested, you can search it. Centipedes are commonly known as money strings and millipedes.)
