The night was deep.

A massive arthropod is rapidly moving its hundreds of ventral legs, twisting its body covered by a hard exoskeleton, and nimbly traversing the lush forest.

Occasionally, it will slow down its pace and lower its head to nibble on some food at the base of a tree trunk beside it.

Even though the area was abundant with food, it showed no intention of staying.

suddenly.

For the first time, it stopped its somewhat hurried little steps and raised its head to look ahead.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a warm yet slightly damp scent.

It pressed its belly against the soft ground and felt it carefully.

A faint vibration came from ahead, as if foreshadowing something.

After confirming the specific direction, it once again swung its belly feet and quickly walked forward.

A few seconds later, the field of vision suddenly opened up!

The lush forest abruptly ends here!

Ahead lies an ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see!

As it moved forward, its body spontaneously underwent some changes.

Its body color changed, becoming extremely similar to the color of the sand.

This is like instinct for it, requiring almost no effort.

It ran quickly to the seaside, lowered its head and drank a few mouthfuls of slightly warm, fresh seawater.

Then it raised its head and looked around.

Many of its kind stayed on the coast.

They gathered in twos and threes, communicating with each other through their tentacles.

It did not join them, but silently raised its head and cast its gaze toward the sky.

The starry sky was bright.

A hint of doubt appeared in its tiny brain.

In my hazy memory, there seemed to be two large, bright spheres in the night sky.

Although its brightness is not as great as that of a daytime orb, it can still dispel the darkness of the night.

But now... neither of those two spheres is there anymore.

Just like the sphere of light during the day, it suddenly disappeared.

Where did they go?

What are those tiny points of light in the night sky?

A series of questions arose in its mind, filling its underdeveloped brain.

After a long time, its neck felt a little tired from maintaining the same posture for so long.

It shook its head and then lowered its head again to drink a mouthful of seawater.

The warm seawater flowed slowly down its esophagus, washing away its doubts.

It doesn't know the answers to these messy questions, nor can it understand the hidden truth behind them.

But it knew that since the two spheres disappeared and the daytime sky was occupied by that giant disc, the "sunbathing" had become warmer and more pleasant, and the forest had become much safer.

Most importantly, it is seeing more and more of its own kind every night.

This is a good thing.

Its genetic memory tells it that whenever such a situation occurs, their population will achieve a stable reproductive cycle that lasts from a few decades to a hundred years.

What follows will be a peaceful era.

Thinking of this, its mood immediately brightened.

It quickly swung its belly feet and ran towards the group of its kind in the distance.

...

Human fleet.

Most of the probes, fully loaded with samples, have returned to the fleet.

With comprehensive isolation measures in place, the robot, controlled by Zero, carefully delivered various samples into a specialized biological laboratory.

To ensure the biological activity of the samples, the biological laboratory has been temporarily transformed into an atmospheric environment similar to that of Lost Planet.

Specialized experimental robots are busily preparing for experiments in the biological laboratory.

Thanks to breakthroughs in robotics, biologists no longer need to take huge risks to access extraterrestrial biological samples.

Of course, this also has limitations.

In the event of special circumstances that robots cannot handle, biologists will most likely still need to personally take charge.

"Professor, the probe has discovered an unidentified creature in the coastal area of ​​Lost Star."

The calmly delivered reminder elicited a far from calm response.

"hiss!!!"

"Where? Where is that unidentified creature?!"

Is it humanoid?

"I wonder if they have any intelligence..."

"..."

For a moment, the laboratory was filled with all sorts of discussions. Mao Zhengzhi was particularly excited. His face was flushed with excitement as he quickly walked through the crowd and squeezed to Lu Yongchang's side.

The next moment.

The holographic image showed footage captured by the detector.

Although there is almost no light source on the planet's surface and only dim starlight in the sky, the images transmitted back by the probe are still as bright as day.

only……

Lu Yongchang frowned slightly as he looked at the empty coastline.

"zero?"

Where are the unidentified creatures?

He asked Zero with some doubt.

In his view, there were no unusual objects near the coastline, except for an extremely narrow beach.

On the beach, for some reason, there were many strange patterns that looked like the tracks left by crawling creatures.

Not only Lü Yongchang, but the other scientists also showed a faint sense of confusion.

"Professor, it's camouflage."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless red circles appeared in the holographic projection.

Lu Yongchang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and the holographic projection, and began to observe it more carefully.

After observing for several minutes, he noticed something unusual about the red circles.
