Within the transmission channel;

"Boss." Serena looked at the dim light around him, stretched out his hand and touched the tactile passage, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Otherwise, Doctor, she has no clue about the composition of this passage. This place simply goes against the conventions we know."

"It just goes against what we humans think is the 'truth'." William shrugged.

Even though mankind has entered the era of Interstellar Immigration, its understanding of the universe is still limited by the so-called "science".

If William publishes Containment Object, which was taken into custody by Umbrella, 70% of the scholars may lose their jobs in an instant, because they all violate 'science'.

On the other hand, Mylon, who didn't care about science at all, said indifferently after seeing such a beautiful and illusory scene at such a close distance:

"It doesn't matter if it's against the rules or not, as long as it's convenient and trouble-free, and it's beautiful."

"Haha, Mylon, you always have amazing words..." William shook his head and smiled.

Soon, everyone passed through this passage, which was only a hundred meters long in human senses, and arrived at the other end of the teleportation gate.

As the first William to pass through the tunnel, he saw that the top room of the pyramid made of stone had been transformed by technicians and Engineering Team.

It has a rectangular device with multiple screens, and various cables also pass through the tunnel to connect to this device.

This device is a signal transmitter for wired communication, which can communicate with Kepler 22-b, and can also provide signals for the reconnaissance force of William and others.

There are also several technicians and Marine Corps members from four classes staying here, responsible for the safety of the technicians.

A Marine Corps with the rank of sergeant saw William and others coming into this world. He immediately stepped forward and saluted:

"Boss, do you still need us Marine Corps to follow you?"

"No need." William waved his left hand lightly and said, "Just stay here to ensure the normal working of the communications and the safety of the technical staff here."

"Yes, boss."

After a brief conversation with the sergeant, William led Serena, John and others out of the room at the top of the pyramid.

Walk outside the room.

The first impression given to William and others is that this place is too desolate and dry.

Except for the vast yellow sand and the six Warthog that the technicians had prepared early, there was nothing else.

"Boss..." Mylon walked slowly to the edge of the stone platform, looked around and said, "The environment here is even worse than Africa's."

"However, according to testing, it is concluded that the oxygen content in the air here is very rich, indicating that there must still be a large area of oasis on this planet." Karl said aside.

"Okay, the more planets suitable for human survival are found, the better. Anyway, I don't mind more." Mylon shrugged.

"You are the only one who talks a lot." John came to the two of them and scolded Mylon again.

As for William and Serena, they climbed down the stone platform and came to the sand. They turned around and observed the pyramid, which was buried in the yellow sand, with only the top room and the stone platform remaining.

"Boss, the style of this building is similar to the one on Kepler 22-b. It should have been built by the same civilization." Serena analyzed.

"Why do everyone like to build pyramids? It's strange." William shook his head in confusion.

Then he ordered Sparta and the paratroopers on the platform, "Okay, everyone board Warthog, we are ready to set off."

"Yes."

A group of twenty-nine people took six Warthogs, relying on their good off-road performance to drive up the sand dunes and overlook the ruins of the city in the distance.

William, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could vaguely see buildings that were many 500 meters high through the helmet's far-sighted function.

Although the distance is far and the specific situation inside the city cannot be clearly seen, William still feels that there is already a 'Dead City'.

After all, the location of this pyramid is not far from that city, but the technicians and Marine Corps have been working here for two days and have not seen any living creatures.

Immediately afterwards, six Warthog drove towards the city.

As the main observer of this operation, Serena recorded everything she saw and analyzed it with Halsey on the other side of the portal.

Not long after, the convoy arrived at the edge of the 'city'.

Those towering buildings that correspond to cities in the human world should be the office buildings or commercial buildings of large enterprises.

But these high-rise buildings are dilapidated and have a crumbling feel.

There are also a large area of small buildings in this Dead City, and there are even streets that are not buried by the yellow sand, etc. It is like another style of human city.

The convoy continued to move into the city and found that there were still many green plants struggling to survive in this cruel environment.

Not only plants, but also many small lizard-like animals appear in public view from time to time.

At least it is confirmed that this planet is not 'Death Star'.

The deeper you go, the more traces of living creatures you can see.

Suddenly, the slowly moving convoy stopped, and John, who was sitting in the lead car, reported in Individual Communication:

"Boss, traces of suspected activities of higher organisms have been discovered."

Hearing this, William, who was originally observing the city, immediately ordered, "Everyone get out of the car and be on guard."

"Yes."

The paratroopers who received the instructions got out of their cars one after another, quickly spread out on the street, and looked for a suitable position to take precautions.

William also jumped off the Warthog he was riding on, took Serena to the front car, and joined John, Karl, Mylon and others.

I saw a lot of blood stains on the street in front of the first car, as well as torn pieces of cloth similar to clothing.

The evidence that can directly prove that it is probably an advanced creature is a set of footprints left by blood stains.

It walks with its feet upright, and its footprints also have lines to enhance grip and friction, indicating that it is wearing some kind of boots.

At least the injured species knows how to use tools and wear clothes.

Mylon squatted beside the pool of blood, observed it for a moment and said to William, "Boss, the accident should have happened half an hour ago."

After hearing what Mylon said, William looked at Serena standing next to him and said, "Launch the drone and scan the entire city."

"Yes."

Following Serena's response, the last Warthog with a rear compartment automatically opened its top compartment door and released four drones equipped with low-power anti-gravity functions.

The drone's tail exuded an emerald green light and quickly took off. It used the pulse function to scan the surrounding area and transmitted all the data obtained to Serena.

After Serena obtained these data, she processed and processed them, made them into thumbnails, and uploaded them to everyone's individual soldier systems.

Moreover, she quickly discovered the 'person' who was injured and escaped, as well as the 'thing' chasing the 'person'.

Then she reported to William, "Boss, a suspicious target was found at ten o'clock where we are."
