Time passed slowly, the sky began to turn white, but the fishing float in the sea did not move at all.

The waves on this planet are relatively calm, and there was no change around the hook and bait all night.

Fortunately, Lin Qingliu had plenty of patience. He decided to wait like this, at least until the sky was completely bright.

Another hour passed, and workers in the outer city area had already left for the early shift, and the buoy in the sea finally moved.

Fishing rods from the old era have excellent flexibility, as can be seen from the accident decades ago. Even though the fisherman was no longer alive, the fishing rod could still float steadily on the water without any damage.

Now the excellent physical properties of the fishing rod and Lin Qingliu's excellent muscle explosiveness form a perfect match.

The moment he saw the float move, he picked up the fishing rod and began to wrestle with the fish that had been hooked under the water on the opposite side.

After eluding the opponent for five minutes, he reeled in the fishing line little by little, and finally half-pushed and half-pushed the target to the bottom of the city wall.

A few dozen seconds later, a somewhat strange "fish" appeared at Lin Qingliu's feet.

This marine creature looked quite strange, more like a prehistoric creature that had disappeared into the ages than a fish from the olden era.

Its back is gray-black, while the lower body is white, and its overall shape is somewhat like a flying shuttle.

It has not yet evolved scales to cover its body surface, and it has more than two gills for breathing, but is symmetrically distributed in multiple places on the body.

After being pulled out of the water, the fish flapped its wings for a while and then became motionless, as if its demand for oxygen was much higher than that of ordinary fish.

Lin Qingliu did not care too much about this matter. He only cared about the fish itself. As for whether it was alive or dead, it was not important for the time being.

Soon the fish was placed in front of Zhou Zhuo, deputy director of the institute.

Zhou Zhuo had always thought that the creatures in the ocean were just another type of exotic beasts, but after learning that this was a task assigned by the Speaker, he thought carefully and found that the mycelium system or theory was indeed difficult to include marine ecology.

The task that Speaker Arthur gave to Zhou Zhuo was also very simple, which was to determine whether this fish was the offspring of the sample from the mother planet on the spacecraft, and to determine whether there were any mycelium-related substances left.

As a senior executive of the research institute, Zhou Zhuo was given access to a lot of information after the secrets of the spacecraft and the origin of mankind were revealed, and he has a very clear understanding of the current situation of mankind.

The spacecraft's secondary body, which carried most of the biological samples, was captured entirely by the mycelium, naturally including samples of aquatic animals.

If this fish contains genetic material from creatures on our home planet but no mycelium, it means that this creature evolved naturally from biological samples brought by human spacecraft.

Although more than fifty years is as short as a snap of the fingers in terms of biological evolution, humans have also acquired superpowers in these decades, and it seems that nothing is impossible.

On the contrary, if this creature has neither traces of mycelium manipulation nor remnants of genes from human mother planet creatures, it means that this is the true native creature of this planet.

In front of it, both humans and mycelium are just outsiders.

Zhou Zhuo recalled the information he had looked up. One of the reasons why this planet was chosen as the destination of a spacecraft was that it had basic signs of life.

He didn't know how humans in the old era conducted observations, but based on existing data, he knew that the technological level of humans in the old era was very high, far beyond what they can achieve today.

With the idea that he might be able to "establish a new school of thought", Zhou Zhuo quickly began his research.

"The signal is clear. Repeat. The signal is clear."

"Received. Please begin routine reporting."

"At 8:00 AM on February 1, 53rd year of the New Era, 20 kilometers inside the tall grass, all personnel are mentally normal."

"Report the current number of exploration team members."

"Twenty people, all alive."

"Report the current height of the surrounding grass."

"Fifteen centimeters, no change."

"Hope City received, you may proceed and try to kill the unknown plant."

After the call was disconnected, Wang Xiao turned around and looked at the people in the car behind him.

Today is the first exploration operation in the new year. After knowing what the enemy of Hope City is, Arthur gave very generous treatment for this operation.

Not only is the exploration team composed entirely of people with super powers, but each of them starts from at least the second energy level. This way, the biofield gathered together can be stronger and resist the erosion of the biofield from the mycelium.

According to Wang Xiao's plan, he intended to use excessive human resources in the early exploration to ensure that erosion would not occur.

Then, the number of exploration team members will be reduced little by little, and the minimum number of people who can maintain a sane state of mind while ensuring safety will be determined.

Although this method is a bit stupid, it is currently the most reliable method for the invisible and intangible biological field.

After obtaining the specific terrain around Hope City, Arthur waved his hand and signaled Wang Xiao to lead the team to drive out to explore.

There is the sea to the east of Hope City, a swamp to the south, and a forest to the west. Only the tall grass in the north is a real soft persimmon.

So the poor tall grasses surrendered under the tires of the all-terrain vehicle. Everyone ate hot pot and sang songs along the way. No, they ate nutritional paste and looked at the data monitor. In just two hours, they arrived at a location 20 kilometers away in the grass.

Wang Xiao looked back at his new group of team members, each of them wearing the sanity testing glasses developed by the research institute.

This new equipment can reflect the sanity state of front-line personnel at any time and prevent them from being corrupted without knowing it.

The five members of Wang Xiao's team, who had been corroded and then returned to normal, participated in the early development and testing.

Although this equipment sounds very advanced, it is essentially just an electrically driven micro projector.

It would show some images to the wearer from time to time, sometimes they were terrifying monster patterns, sometimes they were questions that required careful attention to discover, and there were even some things that even Wang Xiao, who was participating in the test, didn't know what they were.

The monitoring device on the temple of the temple can monitor some data behind the wearer's ear, thereby inferring whether the presentation of the picture or problem has attracted the wearer's attention.

If there is no response for three consecutive times, the glasses will start to alarm, indicating that there is something wrong with the wearer's sanity.

At this moment, twenty super-powered people were sitting in three all-terrain vehicles, with a blazing fire snake behind the vehicles.

This is the work of Fresnel.
