One of the sources of radiation on planet Ajeel is the sun, so direct sunlight should be avoided as much as possible when radiation levels are high.
The remaining sources of radiation have not yet been investigated on Planet Ajer.
We still don't know why radiation levels are low between 5 and 9 a.m. and at other times of the day.
Moreover, the sun is generally shining at 6 and 9 in the morning, but the radiation level does not rise until after 9:00.
This doesn't conform to the laws of nature; Losi has always felt that this planet is strange.
Moreover, the radiation concentration varies from place to place, and it will rise to a certain level according to the rules over time.
It's as if some external force is controlling it.
Unfortunately, no one knows the reason, so they can only live in accordance with the laws of radiation.
But did the higher-ups really find out absolutely nothing? Losi was somewhat skeptical.
She sent her question to Nicole through a multi-functional sensor in her temple.
Do you know anything about the real reason for the rise in radiation?
Nicole received Rossi's message and curiously turned to look at her. Seeing Rossi looking outside, she pretended to casually survey her surroundings.
The two remained motionless, communicating only through the multi-functional sensor.
I don't know, but my father and the others should know something.
Losi typed out the problem using her consciousness, then deleted it after thinking about it.
Seeing that Losi hadn't replied yet, Nicole spoke again.
Radiation is strange, isn't it? I also feel something's wrong with it. When I was a child, I asked my father many times, but he never told me.
Losi: Yes, the situation is probably much more complicated than we thought.
"This is area three. The remaining mutated locusts have scattered and fled."
Hearing that things were under control, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Received. Thank you all for your hard work."
We've made progress on both our side and in Area 3, and it won't be long before it's completely resolved.
When the time came, Lu Yuan woke up her teammates and switched shifts with Luo Xi's team, and later switched shifts with another team from Class A.
It finally arrived at 5 p.m.
Everyone woke up ten minutes early, had already prepared their equipment, and had replenished their food.
The radiation level dropped instantly.
Everyone wanted to get back tonight, so they jogged toward the battlefield, not daring to waste any time.
Perhaps because so many mutated earthworms died, the mutated creatures haven't made any moves even though humans haven't been here for so long.
Lu Yuan's abilities had recovered considerably, and she immediately chose a hole to start filling it with water.
Her palm was facing the opening of the hole, and water just appeared out of thin air from her palm, a large jet of water rushing into the ground.
After injecting for ten minutes, Lu Yuan's forehead was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, but there was still no sign of water flowing out of the exposed holes.
There are too many and too deep caves inside, and there isn't enough water.
However, quite a few mutated ants have emerged, which is sufficient.
Without needing to be told, everyone started cleaning up the ants.
Losi did the same, firing her gun indiscriminately, but secretly diverting a portion of her power to find the queen ant hiding underground.
The lowest cave is now flooded, only the middle and upper levels remain dry.
Losi kept the energy very low, afraid of causing a disturbance.
The underground caves were like a maze. Everyone had almost finished clearing out the ants that had come out, and only then did Losi find the shadow of the queen ant. It looked similar to the information, with a huge abdomen on its lower body.
The queen ant's antennae twitched slightly; it sensed the unusual energy that attracted it, which could be dangerous for other mutated creatures to eat.
But it doesn't. It has absolute control over its subjects, unlike those silly earthworms that anyone can just take a bite of.
After consuming this energy, its control over its subjects will only grow stronger. Even if the mutated earthworm tries to eat it, it will still be able to break through the worker ants' defenses.
However, after what happened before, Losi dared not feed energy to the mutated creatures casually. Seeing the queen ant move, she hurriedly controlled the energy to move upwards.
A sudden change occurred, the ground shook, and the few remaining mutated earthworms arrived!
Losi sped up the recovery process, and the tremors traveled from underground to the surface, prompting everyone to quickly scatter.
This is the mutated earthworm making noise, but didn't it always quietly dig holes under people's feet and let them fall in before?
Why such a strong reaction this time?
"Oh no, it's that C-level mutated earthworm! Everyone get out of the way!" Lu Yuan shouted.
The attack power of a C-class weapon is far superior to that of a D-class weapon. It has high defense, and unlike a D-class weapon which can only dig holes to ambush, it can fight head-on. In addition, its huge size means that ordinary rifles cannot damage it.
C-level? Losi steeled herself and sent the energy back to the queen ant.
It swallowed it whole without hesitation, and then, instead of retreating underground, it came towards the surface.
At the same time, nearly several thousand mutated ants hidden underground all moved toward the queen's position.
"This is area two. The mutated ants have suddenly changed direction and are heading towards area one!"
The locusts in Area 3 have been mostly cleared out, and some have been moved to Area 2. They could have finished clearing it out if given more time, but now the mutated ants have stopped fighting and left.
Lu Yuan's expression turned serious, sensing something was amiss. The ground was trembling more and more intensely because the ants were also moving. "Leave one team to keep watch, the rest of you come and clean up area number one."
"receive!"
The first to emerge from the burrow were a large swarm of ants, densely packed like thick, flowing red asphalt.
Losi dared not release her energy to investigate, and followed the others in cleaning up.
The queen ant hides among the many worker ants. She knows that humans want to catch her, so she makes the worker ants move together in groups.
There's such a thick layer that you have no idea where it's hidden; you can only rely on luck to find it.
Faced with the attack, the ants did not fight back, but kept heading towards the inner ring of safe zone.
At the same time, C-level mutated earthworms suddenly emerged from the ground.
Its enormous body is about five times the size of a Class D mutated earthworm.
It was nearly fifty meters long and four or five meters wide, and the pointed horn on its head was even larger than Rossi's entire body.
The mouthparts under the pointed corners are round, and the densely packed, sharp, triangular yellow teeth resemble a crusher.
It stands upright like a snake, its body a third of the way up, and the force of its fall, from a height of over ten meters, is beyond human capability to stop.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan happened to be blocking its path as it chased the queen ant.
However, Lu Yuan had already used up too much energy to flood the cave, and now she was simply unable to contend with it.
Seeing the C-level mutated earthworm's raised half-body suddenly plunge down, the two second-year teams rushed over: "Captain Lu Yuan!"
Thud—
The mutated earthworm slammed down, splashing mud and water onto the wet ground.
Lu Yuan, being the top student in the second year, possessed exceptional reflexes and leaped out at the last second.
She quickly got up from the ground, her brown combat uniform completely soaked in black mud, and she even had a mouthful of mud in her mouth.
But she didn't dare hesitate for a moment, and stood up to create distance as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, the others arrived and used their abilities to temporarily halt the attack of the mutated earthworms.
The mutated ants also took this opportunity to speed up their retreat.
