The world enters the age of myth

Lu Yiming found his room and settled in, sighing softly.

He joined this expedition team because, on the one hand, his mental resistance is the strongest in the entire shelter. There is no other way, as the tallest among the dwarfs, he has to endure all this.

On the other hand, he is also responsible for investigation functions to a certain extent.

After packing up the props at hand, in addition to various weapons and equipment, he also carried two small drones.

These small drones have been carefully modified in the laboratory, equipped with various detection equipment, and are very suitable for mind possession.

Controlling these drones through mind possession is equivalent to transforming yourself into a "drone". It is much more flexible than using a remote control, and the ability to detect the surrounding areas will be greatly improved.

Of course, mind possession also has limitations. Without the assistance of the Internet, he can only maintain a distance of three hundred meters at most, and there is no way to control it any further. Moreover, ultra-long-distance control is very energy-consuming. After a long time, it is easy to fall into a state of fatigue.

After placing all the luggage, Shi Dayong summoned everyone and said: "Our destroyer will sail on this sea for a while, looking for a suitable landing point. The closer to the remains of intelligent life, the better."

"During this period of time, we will first observe the movements of 10 mice to see if there are any abnormalities in these mice. After that, if there are no accidents, we will take a series of actions."

"Don't be overly nervous, just maintain your daily training. You also need to pay attention to one thing. If you can wear a gas mask, wear it as much as possible. Even if scientists think the air here can be breathed normally, it is best to wear it outdoors... in the room It does have air conditioning and a filtration system inside.”

The weather in this world is relatively hot, and you will be sweating profusely soon after putting on a gas mask.

In addition, the destroyer is not a spaceship and cannot achieve complete air isolation.

"Major Shi, you must be very nervous, right? You're not usually this verbose..."

A soldier behind him said with a smile.

Shi Dayong's face darkened, and he finally sighed: "Hey, who says it's not the case... I always have some weird premonitions. We have to get the information in the ruins as soon as possible. Only by knowing what dangers are here can we Able to ensure safety.”

"With this heavy burden on your back, can you not be nervous?"

"Okay, okay, let's disband and let everyone do their own thing. Don't be too nervous."

…

In the following time, everyone used military drones to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance while paying close attention to the movements of the released rats.

Professionals also drew maps of the coastline. Which places are suitable for landing transport ships, which places are suitable for dredging and felling trees, all have a rough record.

If it were not limited to safety regulations, the loggers would have been eager to wait!

The vegetation in this rainforest is lush, and the food is naturally quite abundant. Some wild fruits are even as big as a fist. The natural habitat for these mice is actually quite moist.

But the strange thing is that there are not many creatures in this tropical rainforest. Except for a few nimble small animals and some ferocious insects, it is not as dense as a normal rainforest...

Because of this strange discovery, the expedition team in the destroyer was always on the sidelines and did not enter at will. .

"Something's not right. The number of species is too small... Why?"

The first day passed, and all 10 little mice survived!

A few others have already dug holes in the ground and are preparing to live here for a long time.

The next day, a mouse got food poisoning from eating a red fruit.

Its two hind legs fluttered a few times and died heroically. The other nine still showed no abnormality.

The dead rat's body became a feast for a swarm of insects. This group of insects looks a bit strange. They look like a combination of flies and spiders. They can fly and jump. They corrode the muscles with acid and suck the juice inside.

The scientists in the destroyer watched these insects eating the corpses with great interest, which seemed to be a very strong taste.

On the third day, another mouse was swallowed by a long snake as thick as an arm. The number of survivors was 8.

Regarding this scene, everyone in the destroyer was not surprised. Surviving in the wild itself is a very cruel thing. The fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated.

These mice have been kept in laboratories for a long time and are artificially fed. Naturally, they do not have many survival skills.

They just have a survival instinct brought about by genes, and it is normal for them to have a high mortality rate.

Ordinary species predation is not a big danger to humans.

On the fourth day, miraculously... no mice died!

However, one of the mice seemed to be sick, and its body functions dropped a lot. According to the instrument, its body temperature rose and its heartbeat became very fast. It lay on the ground not wanting to move.

This situation makes the staff slightly nervous, but as long as there is no large-scale plague, occasional illness is understandable.

The fifth day...

Day six...

In this way, a week passed, and 10 mice were killed due to various accidents, food poisoning, diseases, or by some small carnivores. The total number of deaths was 5.

The other 5 are still alive. One of the particularly lucky mice even encountered a similar native creature underground, successfully integrated into it, and completed a mating!

"I'm dizzy. It turns out there are normal mice here too..."

When they saw this group of wild rats, the expedition team finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Well, it's almost certain that we humans can adapt to the microorganisms here to a certain extent..."

"There are similar rats in this forest. Well, I think there is no need to continue this experiment. Since there are wild rats, the rats we release will definitely be able to survive normally! Although the current mortality rate is as high as 50%, but that's without any protection, and a higher mortality rate is nothing."

Yes, no danger found!

Everyone was a little bit out of sorts.

Seven days were enough for the expedition team to go deep into the land and retrieve a lot of information, but they had been waiting on the ship for so long in vain.

It’s really...a waste of time!

Shi Dayong gritted his teeth and said: "Or, should we observe it for a while? I didn't find any danger here, but it feels a bit weird..."

One of the grumpier superpowers said: "But we can't stay here indefinitely, right? What if the danger is never discovered? Wait here all the time?!"

Everyone was talking about it and divided into two factions: "Should we observe it for another week? Don't be anxious about this kind of thing."

"One week is too long. We have been waiting here for seven days. Do we need to continue? There is no danger to microorganisms. Should we wait for a month or a year?"

"Maybe the longer you delay, the less safe it will be!"

Everyone did not get a unified opinion.

"Captain Lu, what do you think? If you have any opinion, you might as well say it directly," Shi Dayong asked.

As the captain of the police force, Lu Yiming naturally has considerable power and prestige. He can even overstep his authority and forcefully command the army. Of course, there is no such need now, and it is impossible for him to use this right to show off.

Lu Yiming thought for a while, frowned and said: "Everyone needs to know. There must be disasters on this continent... Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this local intelligent civilization disappeared, and there is no way to explain why those brain-controlling insects escaped from this continent. A piece of land..."

"The most important thing is that there are few animals here. We only found small animals and no larger animals at all."

"I think there are three relatively high possibilities now!"
