The sound of the engine's roar sounded behind them.
An armored vehicle parked not far away from the drilling rig and a field researcher in a heavy protective suit jumped down with a toolbox.
"Look, Santa Claus is here." A Celestial Marine blew a whistle and then joked in the communication channel as he watched the researcher walk to them, struggling to maintain his balance.
Santa Claus.
A nickname Celestial Marines gave to the field researchers.
The reason was that the field researcher did look like a Santa Clauses with a big belly after they wore the red protective suit. Of course, while the name was an inside joke, it did not carry any derogatory meaning.
When the researcher reached Zhang Hai, he asked calmly.
"Where is the sample?"
"Just at the front there." Zhang Hai pointed to the direction where Koenig stood. "Be careful, we are not sure if it is dangerous."
