Deep in the endless forest, there is a flat and open area with many human buildings.

This is the base camp of the Blue Star people, like a central heart, continuously transporting supplies to various strongholds in the forest.

The sun in the sky slowly rose, and the dazzling golden light was like a sharp sword, instantly tearing through the darkness that had covered the forest all night.

In just a dozen seconds, the darkness quickly receded like a tide.

Most of the strange beasts wandering around at night, looking for prey, stopped hunting and turned back to their habitat when they saw the white fish on the horizon.

At the outermost periphery of the Blue Star People's base camp, the investigator standing guard raised his hand and yawned. After the night shift, his face was full of fatigue.

At this moment, the sun was rising and the sky was getting brighter. Soon, they could get back to the dormitory after get off work and have a good sleep.

As time passed quietly, the sun rose higher and higher, and the golden light poured into the base camp.

The plants in the green belt bathed in the rising sun, swaying gently under the caress of the breeze, as if dancing a silent morning dance.

In the residential area in the distance, the dormitory doors opened one after another, and the investigators who got up walked out one after another, yawning while heading towards the canteen.

On the way, they would greet each other enthusiastically when they met.

Every morning, transport vehicles are sent to transport the collected materials to the base camp.

That day, an hour after dawn, the investigators guarded at the gate of the base camp saw several transport vehicles slowly coming from a distance on the road ahead.

The car gradually approached and finally stopped steadily at the gate of the base camp.

Although there will be basically no problem when checking identity at this time, for safety reasons, this process must be strictly implemented in accordance with the rules.

The investigator on duty carefully checked the relevant documents of the transport vehicle, and after confirming that it was correct, he released it to the convoy.

The leading driver skillfully drove the car and slowly passed through the huge iron gate to enter the base camp.

Within a few minutes, the entire convoy arrived at the area where the supplies were stored.

The staff who had been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward and moved various materials from the transport truck one by one and put them into the warehouse.

The captain of the transportation team looked at the busy people and said, "Thank you all for this trip. Let's take a rest for two days and relax."

After saying that, everyone dispersed and began to enjoy this rare leisure time.

In the distant cafeteria, more and more investigators were finishing breakfast.

Some investigators walked out of the cafeteria in groups and walked towards the empty venue in the distance.

Next, they all have their own tasks. They are now heading to the meeting place and waiting patiently for the pick-up and drop-off vehicles to arrive.

In the office area, in an office building just built last week, a middle-aged man stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the venue where the investigators gathered.

Suddenly, a "dong dong dong" knock broke the tranquility of the office, and noisy sounds echoed in the originally quiet space.

The middle-aged man heard the sound and turned around and shouted in the direction of the door.

When the person outside the door heard the response, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

I saw a short-haired girl holding a stack of documents in her hands, quickly walked to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully, "Director, there are some documents here that you need to read."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, walked to the desk and sat down slowly, and began to look through the documents the girl brought.

For a moment, the office was so quiet that I could only hear the rustling sound of documents flipping.

After a while, the middle-aged man raised his head and asked, "How did the material consumption of the No. 17 and No. 19 strongholds increase so much this month?"

When the short-haired girl heard the leader's inquiry, she quickly explained, "These two strongholds have been attacked many times this month, so the materials consumed a lot more than last month."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and asked.

"Why didn't I know about this?"

The short-haired girl responded quickly, "Because the attack on the alien beast did not cause any casualties, there was no detailed report."

When the middle-aged man heard that there were no casualties in the two strongholds, his frown immediately stretched out.

In his opinion, as long as there are no casualties, the attack on the stronghold by the alien beast is not too serious.

"The number of attacks on other strongholds by strange beasts seems to have increased a lot." The middle-aged man murmured to himself again.

The short-haired girl nodded quickly, "Yes, through statistics, the number of attacks on alien beasts this month increased by 20 to 30% compared to last month."

The middle-aged man finished reading all the documents in his hand, gently placed them aside, and rhythmically tapped the solid wood desktop with his fingers. He said after pondering for a moment.

"It was calm for most of the past six months, but now strange beasts attack our strongholds so frequently. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters."

The short-haired girl thought for a moment and mustered up the courage to express her guess, "Recently, the personnel of our escort transportation team have encountered several strange beasts with strength exceeding the peak of level 2.

There has never been such a powerful beast to attack a transport team in the past. Will there be some connection between these things?"

The middle-aged man raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly, "I thought the forest would gradually become peaceful and we could finally control the situation completely. Now it seems that something will happen."

The short-haired girl nodded silently when she heard this. Then, she heard the leader's order, "You go and arrange some people to investigate this matter."

As the order was issued, the base camp quickly dispatched personnel to form a survey team.

There were fifteen people in total, divided into three groups, each with five people, heading towards three different directions and embarking on the journey of exploring the truth.

…………

Outside the forest, a group of pig-headed soldiers were walking carefully in the grass.

Captain Pig Head, with a brown birthmark on his forehead, was the leader of this team, with a solemn expression and a big net, extending to explore all the time, alerting to the strange beasts that might be hidden in the dark.

Half an hour has passed since we set out in the early morning, but they are still some distance away from the poisonous bee swarm.

The captain of the Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead at the front of the team, suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the Pighead soldiers following him immediately stopped one after another, then quickly pulled out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

Captain Pig Head, with a brown birthmark on his forehead, turned around, looked at his nervous subordinates, showed a gentle smile on his face, and said softly.

"Don't be so nervous, I stopped to give everyone a rest."

After hearing this, the pig-headed soldiers' tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and many people said they did not need to rest.

Captain Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, shook his head and said earnestly, "This time we want to destroy the nest of the poisonous bee colony, we must do our best.

Only by performing tasks in the best mental state can one avoid casualties as much as possible.

So you should still have to rest, otherwise you may have an accident due to a little fatigue in your body when performing tasks later."

After hearing this, everyone stopped refusing and walked towards a flat space not far away.

There is a big tree with lush branches and leaves, and its huge crown is like a large green umbrella that casts a cool shade on the ground.

Everyone put their backpacks and weapons on the grass, took out the kettle, drank a few sips of water, replenished their consumed energy.

The captain of the pig head with a brown birthmark on his forehead also drank some water. After a short rest, he got up and walked forward.

At this time, a pig-headed soldier saw him leaving and quickly asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

The captain of the pig head with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped, turned around, and replied seriously, "You guys rest first, I'll check around to see if there are any strange beasts lying on us..."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward. Although he had been exploring his mental power to perceive the surroundings and had not found any psychic fluctuations, he knew very well that some strange beasts could cleverly hide their own breath, making it difficult for prey to detect.

The captain of the Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, did not want any casualties when he led the team, so he acted very cautiously.

He walked forward dozens of meters, but still found no trace of strange beasts along the way.

Captain Pighead, with a brown birthmark on his forehead, thought for a moment, jumped onto a big rock, and stood at a high place and looked around.

At this moment, his vision became wider, and wherever he saw it, there was a green vegetation.

The temperature of the sun is not too high now, and various plants are full of vitality and full of vitality under the sunlight.

But the captain of the Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, knew that in two hours, the situation would be completely different.

Suddenly, the captain of the pighead with a brown birthmark on his forehead noticed that on a hillside in the distance, the plants were scattered and messy.

He clearly remembered that when he came back yesterday, it was not like this.

Obviously, strange beasts have ravaged there at night.

Captain Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, thought for a moment, then jumped off the stone and ran in that direction.

After arriving at the destination, he saw a chaotic scene, with the ground covered with many footprints of strange beasts.

After careful inspection, he found that the strange beasts raging here were moving towards the east, which was different from the direction they were moving forward. The captain of the Pighead, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if the direction is consistent, they are very likely to encounter strange beasts. Once they meet, the probability of a battle breaking out is extremely high.

Time passed quietly, and more than ten minutes later, the pig-headed soldiers who were resting under the shade of the trees felt exhausted.

Just as they were about to find Captain Pig Head with a brown birthmark on his forehead, they happened to see him coming back.

Captain Pig Head, with a brown birthmark on his forehead, walked to his hands and asked everyone about their rest. After learning that they had already rested, he asked everyone to pack up their things and embark on the journey again.

The sun hanging in the sky continued to slowly move above everyone's heads, and the temperature was also rising significantly and rapidly.

The pig-head captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, who had been prepared, and his group took out their straw hats and put them on their heads. With the straw hats blocked, the hot sunlight was blocked, and everyone suddenly felt a little cooler.

A slight shaking came from the dense grass, and a pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked at the front of the team.

Sometimes, he would wave his weapons and cut off some weeds that blocked the way.

With him in front of him, his subordinates behind him became much safer.

As everyone walked out of the grass, the captain of the pig head with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped, turned around, and said to his subordinates with a serious expression.
