Volume 4 The Seed of Holiness (33)

Several people turned one bend after another in the winding cave, and along the way they were accompanied by the darkness that wrapped everything in it. Because they were too far away from the front line of the confrontation, the swarm did not arrange too much patrol force. Occasionally, when they met a few alien species on the way, they were also perceived by the Eye of All-knowing. With sufficient preparation time, several people could easily find places suitable for hiding to avoid being discovered by them.

Fu Jingzhu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the remaining few people immediately became nervous. With the omniscient eye, Horus's action every time this act represents a narrow encounter with a alien species.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jingzhu controlled Horus to bend down and grabbed a large piece of black stuff from the ground, as if he was studying it.

"Why don't you leave?"

Chang Shengshi asked in a low voice when he found out that he was not about to encounter a alien species.

"My mecha Horus has the ability to detect all signs of life in a certain range. Now it tells me that the thing in my hand is part of a certain living body, and since I separated it from the subject, their vitality is rapidly losing."

After Fu Jingzhu said that, he opened the lighting system that was equipped with the mecha, and the various lights installed on the mecha were lit at the same time. Under the lights, everyone saw clearly that what he grabbed in his hand was a piece of fungus clothes that had shrunk into a ball, and under his feet was a dense mushroom blanket spreading from the corner from a distance. The dense brown mycelium on it was dancing by itself without wind.

“What are these?”

Chang Shengshi controlled mecha squatted down and looked carefully at this strange thing that had never appeared in the report.

"We don't know either. We have never pushed this far because of the lack of supplies. I just discovered them because of the strange touch on my feet."

Fu Jingzhu put the shrinking fungus clothing in his hand into the mecha's storage space, and looked at the four walls of the cave again.

Taking him as the dividing line, the bacteria blanket covered all the surfaces of the cave without leaving a gap. How to pass through them has become a problem before them.

Just go directly here? Seeing that the bacteria blanket is very soft, it should not cause any hard damage to the armor. The isolation of the mecha to the outside world also ensures that the driver will not be attacked by harmful substances. The only thing that makes people worry is whether these microorganisms are intelligent. If their whereabouts are captured by the insect swarm, it would be too unfair.

"I don't think these things are too smart even if they are smart. As long as we don't get in touch with them, it shouldn't have any impact."

Chang Shengshi, who was knowledgeable, made his own judgment. I don’t know where these bacterial blankets extend from, and it can be said that they are boundless. If such a large area of ​​things have intelligence, it will consume a huge amount of resources. In the current environment of extremely fierce survival competition, it is undoubtedly a suicide attempt. He prefers that these things are just similar to the unconscious reproduction of single cells.

"I think you're right"

Fu Jingzhu watched the large truffle blanket torn by himself slowly being filled and recognized Chang Shengshi's judgment.

The Horus wings he controlled were a piece, the anti-gravity system on it had been activated, and the entire mecha had floated under the control of the magnetic field.

"Fortunately, this cave is big enough, Anubis and I can float in the air to transport you directly over."

Johnny, who was standing aside, also understood and floated the mecha in the air and brought Sobek, who was driving Qi Xiang, and slowly followed Fu Jingzhu, who was pulling the raider to fly low.

After passing through the corner of the cave, the terrain suddenly became clear. In front of them were a high dome and a huge sinkhole. The strange mushroom blanket extended from the bottom of the pit to the surroundings. The closer it was to the center of the pit, the denser the mycelium.

Master Fu Jing stopped again

"What did you find?"

Chang Shengshi knew that Horus must have discovered something unusual through the Eye of All-knowing

"We seem to have found a hatch room for the swarm."

After a long time, Fu Jingzhu replied, which shows how shocked he was at what he saw.

At the bottom of the pit, a blood-red fleshy hill was located in it. The meat hill that was peeled off its outer skin was full of holes as thick as buckets. As the meat hill twisted and wriggled, insects like magnified earthworms were squeezed out from the hole and fell on the soft mushroom carpet. The ignorant larvae that fell in the strange environment stood there for a while, and soon followed the survival instinct and ate the underground mushroom carpet. On the other side not far from the meat hill, countless gray-white flesh cocoons stood on the mushroom carpet. Fu Jingzhu could only judge from the size of the meat cocoon that the Zerg unit hatched inside was roughly the Zerg unit.

The evolution of rock leaf insect swarms is actually such a terrifying way! They do not inherit individual genes, but evolve specific arms through designated cultivation!

This inheritance method is very similar to the method of the giants' mass evolution of warriors through potential potions. Could it be that the rock leaf insect swarm is no longer a simple evolutionary swarm that has derived another civilization? This discovery is amazing! If the assumption is true, humans will face a higher civilization that is not inferior to their own in any aspect - at least now humans are not proficient in the means of batch catalytic evolutionists.

Fu Jingzhu extinguished the light and fell onto the bacterial blanket, and made a gesture to others to be careful about the surrounding situation and follow his own.

After finding a relatively hidden place, Fu Jingzhu informed other members of his amazing discovery.

"So, the previous battles of the insect swarm did not show their strength at all. They just created an illusion for us that they were not powerful and we could defeat them with one blow with all our might. Then, when we were fully dispatched, we cut off our retreat and annihilate us in one fell swoop? No, they are still fighting the holy seed. Their forbearance and arrangements over the past century are targeting the Styx!"

Fu Jingzhu connected all the things forward and back to come up with a terrible guess that was closest to the facts

"We must inform everyone of this!"

Chang Shengshi has made a judgment based on the situation on the scene. There will definitely be no one such group of Meat Mountain, because they did not sneak into the hinterland of the Zerg at all. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as an outer periphery. The overall strength of the insect group can only be described as unfathomable. Even if they have the confidence to break the outer defense of the Styx, they will have been designing for decades to lure the defense forces on the Styx, reducing the difficulty of sneaking into the warships to seize the Holy Seed after breaking through the outer wall of the defense.

No wonder there has been no decent ethnic group in Antarctica for so long. With such a powerful civilization stationed here, all the forces that may threaten them will definitely be completely seized.

It is conceivable that if the human Antarctic Corps hit the head and destroyed their decades of plans and arrangements, how angry the insects would be. At that time, few human corps that were cut off from the back will probably be able to come back alive!

Chang Shengshi immediately connected the communication from the command center

"Immediately cancel the acquired general attack plan. Everything we see now is a trap set by the insect swarm!"

"What's the situation? Can you tell me in detail?"

"What did you find?"

Hearing Chang Shengshi's reward, the command center immediately became a quarrel

“We are…”

A heart-wrenching fluctuation surged, interrupting Chang Shengshi's communication

"S…s…”

Only electronic noises remain in the channel, and communications were interfered!

It's indeed a trap! There is no problem with short-range communication with small power. Once the long-range communication swarm emits high power, it immediately detects and implements interference. This situation has never happened before. This swarm has the tactical support of plural units, which is far more powerful than ordinary evolutionary swarms!

"Pululu...Pululu..."
