Haiwen Star, primitive jungle area.

"Well, we really have to go into the tropical rain forest. I hope there are no pythons in it." After getting off the shuttle, Tychus complained as he looked at the unusually dense forest in front of him.

"Relax, even if there are, those primitive creatures are no match for powered armor." Renault patted his shoulder armor.

"Looking at the bright side, if there is any, we can taste another Haiwen delicacy." Jimmy looked at the jungle eagerly.

"That's not the point." Renault shook his head and looked at Ariel, who was only wearing a set of jungle adventure equipment: "Miss Hansen, I think I reminded you that if there is a federal secret base, it is likely to exist there. Dangerous biological weapons."

"After entering the jungle, communication will fail, and without a guide, you will get lost in the jungle." The botanist held up his hat and showed a confident smile: "Although I don't have your armor, I am very confident about Haiwen Star. Every plant and tree on it is very familiar.”

"If you insist." Renault checked the equipment again and signaled Tychus to protect Ariel, while Jimmy opened the way first.

Previously, in their capacity as agricultural consultants from other planets, they visited and searched potentially problematic farms and plantations, but found nothing.

The reason why live birds in farms are particularly aggressive is because the breeders do it deliberately to give buyers a healthy impression. However, the materials used in vacuum packaging and canning still use the previous breeding methods. What is ridiculous is that they Still want to cover up this.

As for the decrease in the plantation's output, it is because it plans to open up downstream industries. After meeting Renault and others, it actively invited them to taste the new products. This is the standard meat bun beating dog... Well, that's what it means in a word.

Then, after excluding some other slightly suspicious locations, Renault believed that if there really was a federal secret research base, it could only be in a primeval forest.

But then, a new problem arises. Those federal agents are hiding in the virgin forest, with no interaction with the outside world and have never been photographed by satellites. How did Ariel discover that there was a problem there?

"These stupid bushes and vines! I have to repaint the armor when I get back!" Tychus yelled dissatisfiedly in the channel.

"It's because you're too big that I won't be tripped." Jimmy said in a brisk tone, as if the reconnaissance operation went smoothly.

"That's called plating," Renault corrected, then turned his head and looked at Ariel: "Has our course of action deviated?"

Ariel pinched the frame of her glasses and paused for two seconds before responding. "Not yet. If the route needs to be adjusted, I will explain it in advance."

In the process, she walked around a group of thorns very naturally, and then turned her head to avoid a hanging vine.

Either she wasn't reading the information on her glasses at all, or she was well aware of the obstacles.

If it weren't for the impromptu decision to come to Haven Star this time, Renault would almost suspect that she was a mole.

"Hey, Commander, look at this."

After hours of trudging through the jungle and battling plants and wildlife, Jimmy finally found evidence that convinced Reno that his journey was in vain.

A completely scrapped and rusty alloy cylinder.

"Is this... a terrazine can?" Renault flipped the cylinder and easily found the federal logo on it.

"Hey! So there's a war to be fought?" Tychus immediately touched the gun.

"This at least proves that terazine is indeed produced here, and it is also targeted by the federation, but it is not yet certain whether it is a psychic research institute." Renault stood up and looked into the depths of the jungle: "We came all the way, there is such a big movement, The other party should have discovered it long ago."

"They actually threw away the containers containing terrazine," Ariel's voice rarely sounded a little angry: "That's why the growth conditions of this jungle are so abnormal.

"

"Anyway, let's get into fighting mode," Renault drew his gun: "Ms. Hansen, stay back and stay away from us."

Ariel nodded, stepped back slightly and slowed down her pace.

In view of the possibility of encountering the enemy at any time, Jimmy did not continue to explore forward. According to Renault's instructions, he kept moving cautiously at a distance where he could be rescued by Renault and Tychus at any time.

However, until they followed the increasing number of unnatural traces and found the expected secret research base, there was no battle. Moreover, the appearance of that base made Renault feel a bit familiar.

"Hey, boss, do you think this place looks like-"

"Yes, a Federation base at Blackwater Outpost, but significantly different."

What appeared in front of a few people was a completely abandoned federal base, with a command center, supply stations, and research facilities. The most obvious one was a terazine collection station that was still leaking green gas.

Unlike the situation at Blackwater Outpost that was covered in "silt", almost all objects in this base were entangled and climbed by various plants, and those plants seemed to adapt well to the steel and plastic. Architecturally Some of the obvious signs of trauma even looked like plants had sprouted from the inside and burst it.

"This doesn't look like it was done by bugs." Tychus tried to tear off a few vines and opened the door to the research facility. "There are no traces of erosion like they do."

Could it be that the federal research project here is about plants? Raynor tried to contact Tosh who was still on Bucephalus, but the communication was still jammed.

"What bug?" Ariel appeared from behind Renault and asked curiously.

Should she still be far away from him before? Renault raised his eyebrows, but still answered: "It's the kind of biological weapon I mentioned before, but now it seems that something went wrong. There is nothing we are looking for here."

"Obviously, the research they conducted angered the jungle, and then it was swallowed up by the jungle," Ariel looked around the abandoned base, her glasses flashing slightly.

In the end she...

"[Hey, boss, look at this -]" Jimmy's voice came from the communicator: "[Here is a record of the scene when the base was destroyed~]"

Before Renault could respond, the commander's interface received the first-person perspective shared by Jimmy. Apparently he found a video record of an independent power supply in a monitoring room.

Although the picture is not clear, Renault can still tell that it is the radar perspective of the command center. On the picture, a large number of monsters composed of thick vines and branches are attacking the federal army in the base, and the counterattack of the federal soldiers has no effect on them. It was useless. Soon, after a black shadow passed towards the camera, the picture was completely interrupted.

"[Boss, these federal soldiers seem to call them——]" Jimmy dug out a few more document notes: "[Sorian]?"
