“It’s time to go. Why are you still in a daze?”

The soldier’s reminder woke the Solar Engineer up. After looking around, he realized that he was still in the camp. The expedition team with a large number of scientists was ready to set off. They were just waiting for him.

The Solar Engineer smiled awkwardly. He quickly carried his luggage and entered the team.

But after that, he didn’t talk and laugh like the others. Instead, he silently thought about what he had just experienced.

He saw an illusion. It was so real that he thought it was reality.

Ever since he arrived at this Homes.h.i.+p that was parasitized by a large number of strange plants, his previous experiences regarding the virtual world appeared in front of him from time to time, making him feel as if he was in that world again.

He had once suspected that some hormone secreted by these plants would cause him to hallucinate, but he had never taken off his protective suit since he put it on. He had also asked his teammates if they had noticed anything abnormal, but he seemed to be the only one.

He did not believe it and went to look at the data of the environmental instruments. Although he was an engineer in charge of artificial suns, he could barely understand the tables and numbers. The result was that the environment here was normal.

The atmosphere here was even better than on the Dawn Song Homes.h.i.+p. According to a biologist, the air level here was very close to the standard of the mother planet in the historical records.

In theory, they could live here normally. They were still wearing protective suits, but they were only following the guidelines in the Extraterrestrial Exploration Manual that never took off their protective suits at any time.

Since no one else was abnormal, the Solar Engineer became more and more puzzled about the illusion he was experiencing.

According to the Extraterrestrial Exploration Manual, he should report his abnormal situation to his superiors and immediately stop the exploration and undergo treatment.

However, for some reason, he did not do so. Instead, he followed the team.

During his rare recreational time aboard the Homes.h.i.+p, he’d also seen some of the power sources for extraterrestrial exploration. Generally speaking, his situation would lead to two consequences. One was that their team had been wiped out in a major crisis, and the other was that he was about to receive a packed lunch.

He had a clear understanding of this and understood that his non-compliance with the Extraterrestrial Exploration Manual was a serious violation. However, he was unwilling to stop.

He always felt that the tall tower covered in vegetation was summoning him, as if he had an unprecedentedly important mission on his shoulders. If he did not go, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

It had been a long time since he had lived a numb life, but now there was a touch of beauty. The adventurous spirit that shouldn’t have appeared at his age burned again. He lived and died in vain. In the end, he chose the latter.

A scientist near the Solar Engineer suddenly felt that this person had undergone an indescribable change. He seemed to be changing to another level.

However, upon closer inspection, he could not sense anything abnormal. In the end, the scientist could only attribute it to his imagination.

Thus, the expedition set off under such circ.u.mstances.

In order to prevent these translucent plants from preying on them, they sprayed a special potion on their bodies. This potion could temporarily drive away the preying plants.

According to the theory of the scientists who studied this potion, they were now walking herbicides in the eyes of these plants and would be instinctively hated.

The scientist also researched another kind of potion. It was the opposite of the potion they had now. It made them seem like walking feces in the eyes of plants and could attract this plant. However, this potion was despised by everyone.

However, due to the possible use of the bait, their group still brought a small amount of this potion.

Due to the new mission given by the government, their original course of action had also changed. They went from going straight to the control tower to searching for all information related to the Firechaser along the way.

Therefore, they needed to take an extremely tortuous route to cover every area on this Homes.h.i.+p.

The first area they came to was the armed garrison area. This was the defense core inside the Homes.h.i.+p, which controlled the automatic attack system inside the s.h.i.+p.

This was also the area that had suffered the most damage. The semi-transparent vegetation suspected to have a lot to do with the Firechaser seemed to have engaged in a firefight with the Homes.h.i.+p’s guards here.

However, as they went deeper into this area, they realized that this matter seemed to be not simple.

“This is…”

One of the accompanying soldiers looked at the corpses in the ruins with a surprised expression after cleaning up a piece of ruins that was not wrapped in plants.

They did not see any corpses along the way. According to their speculation, they should have been eaten by these predatory plants. However, there were still intact corpses here. This was a little abnormal.

The autopsy specialist immediately came forward to confirm the situation and quickly discovered something shocking.

“The wounds on these bodies… they appear to have been inflicted by our own weapons.”

The incident silenced everyone in the room. They’d a.s.sumed the Homes.h.i.+p had been attacked by the Firechaser to become what it was, but now it looked as if there might be something inside involved.

The originally relaxed exploration atmosphere suddenly became solemn. No one could smile anymore. Instead, they headed to the next area in silence.

The second area was the scientific research area. There were many laboratories here, and all the technologies that affected their civilization came from these places.

The Solar Engineer wandered aimlessly with the team, but when he saw a laboratory that was also covered in a large number of plants, he strangely had the thought of trying to take a look.

At this moment, the investigation of this area had already begun, so he applied for investigation authority from his superiors.

Although he was puzzled when this Solar Engineer was interested in partic.i.p.ating in the inspection, his request was approved because of his trust in the quality of a Level 1 engineer.

Therefore, the Solar Engineer entered the laboratory as if he had been there before. He pa.s.sed through the dark rooms with ease and finally arrived at a small room that was not extremely deep and was not invaded by plants.

It was only when he picked up a dilapidated diary in this small room that he woke up from a dream and looked around in horror.

He felt as if he had been hypnotized just now. When he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at a different place.

However, before he could think about why he was here, the diary in his hand attracted his attention.

His curiosity was unprecedented at this moment, as if countless voices in his mind were urging him to open this diary.

He seemed to be hallucinating. He was once again in that primitive world, surrounded by fresh air and lush green vegetation.

Finally, he opened the diary.

[I’m Forster, an ordinary scientist who studies genetics.]

[If you’re interested in reading literature, you might have heard of my name. I wrote Former Glory.]

[You might think that I created those virtual world fragments based on my imagination and observation of certain video recordings.]

[But in fact, those scenes actually came from my genes, or rather, each of us.]

[Our life, our birth, and our genes all originate from a plant, a huge tree of life.]

[According to the current name, they are called—the Firechaser..]
