At those words, Mao Zhengzhi's expression immediately grew more serious.
A saying had long circulated among the older generation from the Earth Era.
Never question Professor Lü's intuition, no matter how outrageous it sounds!
Ever since the Earth Era, whether humanity faced one extinction crisis after another or technological progress raced ahead as if boosted by nitrous, Lü Yongchang's intuition had pointed Human Civilization in the right direction at every critical juncture!
"The exploration mission has been halted. They'll begin the return trip any moment now."
Lü Yongchang turned to look at the vibrant planet in the Holographic Projection, deep wariness showing in his eyes.
"Let's hope nothing goes wrong..."
A shadow fell over him from behind, blocking the light from the high-powered searchlights.
Having already survived one brush with death, Zhu Ziwen whipped around and maneuvered his Exoskeleton Armor into a stance ready to flee.
"Easy, buddy. It's me."
Su Pengfei's voice came over the team communications channel.
"The underground Probe hasn't sounded an alarm. No need to worry about them attacking." Perhaps because he had seen Zhu Ziwen's unusually violent reaction, Su Pengfei's laugh carried a hint of teasing. "Come on, buddy. You weren't this jumpy aboard the Starship, were you?"
"What's the matter? Not going to grab a nice hot dinner?"
Zhu Ziwen shook his head with a wry smile. "Forget it. Professor Lü's analysis results aren't out yet. I don't have much of an appetite."
Su Pengfei pursed his lips. "Are those results really that important?"
"If you ask me, they're just trees that can move! If they really piss us off, we can just burn the whole lot of them down!"
"Don't you dare!" Zhu Ziwen's expression changed sharply. "These trees are treasures. If you burn them, Professor Lü will probably burn you too!"
