The dark and small space is only one square meter in size, and the height is only about one meter.
He couldn't stand or lie down, he could only curl up with his knees in his arms.
There is no way to move freely at all.
The ground was cold and hard, and all I could see was darkness.
Even the passage of time becomes blurry.
Loneliness is a deadly poison.
When a person is in a lonely environment, he will unnaturally start to think wildly.
This creates mental fear.
The pain of mental torture is far greater than the pain of physical or other aspects.
Alone in a closed space, loneliness is gathering, constantly attacking the psychological defense line until it collapses.
This training is a great test of one's inner endurance.
At first, Tsunade acted quite calmly, and even felt a little childish, just staying in a dark space, there was nothing here, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
But as time passed, Tsunade realized something was wrong.
How much time has passed?
It feels like a long time ago, but there is no reference in the closed space to judge.
It's impossible to determine the exact time.
Tsunade decided to take a nap, but her tense and depressed spirit did not allow her to sleep.
I couldn't fall asleep even after tossing for a while.
At this time, Tsunade began to have random thoughts.
There are many ideas coming to mind, but no concrete idea.
There was only the sound of her own breathing in her ears, and a huge feeling of loneliness quietly gripped Tsunade.
Breathing speeds up unconsciously.
My heartbeat starts to speed up and I feel palpitations.
When the body shows various signs, another emotion quietly approaches.
Its name is fear.
Tsunade didn't know what she was afraid of. There was nothing scary about this simple environment. Even monsters should be afraid of her.
But Tsunade didn't even realize that she was scared, she just felt panicked.
It can't go on like this.
Tsunade wanted to talk to someone, but there was no one to talk to.
Then, I can only talk to myself.
He muttered quietly, his voice gradually getting louder.
People who walk at night do this and talk loudly to themselves to embolden themselves to combat psychological fear.
Commonly known as, scare yourself.
The louder it is, the scarier it becomes.
"Miki!!!"
"Are you there!!! Mei Ji!!!"
"Miki!!?"
No one answered.
But people are there.
Sitting far downwind on a platform extending from the mountain wall, Meiji was roasting a frog.
Hearing the sound, Meiji sprinkled the chili powder without looking.
Above the head is the cave where Tsunade is.
The voice is shaking...
Even without hearing the sound, Miki could smell Tsunade's state.
"I need to pee!!! Meiki!!!"
Pee however you want.
Meiji didn't answer.
There was a quarrel for a while, and suddenly Tsunade fell silent.
A few minutes later, Tsunade started singing.
Mei Ji moved her hands, but she didn't expect that she could do such a job.
Okay.
The taste of frog.
Let's have this for lunch.
It also sounds weird.
Singing until the voice becomes hoarse means that after an afternoon, it gradually stops.
It was quiet nearby.
Mei Ji sat cross-legged, resting her chin on one hand, overlooking the forest sea below.
It looks like he is in a daze, but he is actually observing the insect swarm.
Something interesting happened recently.
Goliath Scarab.
This big guy has undergone some interesting changes.
That is co-evolution.
Under the pressure of the environment and the Eve bug swarm, these guys seem unwilling to just become meat bugs in the farm.
Some adult beetles joined the ranks of the Eve swarm and began to assist the Eve swarm in its work.
Help the Eveworm swarm transport dung balls.
And the Eve Swarm also accepted them.
So you can often see scenes like this in the woods.
On the 'high-speed' channel established by the Eve insect swarm, two scarabs were grouped together, rolling dung balls forward. The transport team of dung balls formed a long queue in the pit under the cover of leaf branches.
On both sides of the passage, there are guards of the Eve insect swarm, responsible for resisting intruding creatures.
Among the Eve insects, there is no such huge size as the Goliath Scarab. Therefore, as a large transport insect, the work efficiency has been greatly improved.
And this move brought positive feedback to the Goliath Scarab itself.
That is, the survival rate of the larvae begins to increase significantly.
After weighing the balance, the Eve Swarm gave up eating meat and chose to improve efficiency.
What Mei Ji is now considering is whether to bring the Goliath Scarab under the control of her own insect swarm.
The adult form of this beetle has no other special abilities other than rolling dung balls.
However, its function as a meat pig is not indispensable. The Eveworm swarm does not just raise this kind of meatworm.
Moreover, the main function of the Goliath Scarab Farm is to cultivate bacterial colonies.
The idea of dominating scarabs is because Meiji currently needs more tool bugs to expand her territory.
There are no problems with the Eve Swarm on land.
The problem is the underwater environment.
The underwater environment is divided into freshwater environment and seawater environment.
Among them, the seawater environment is particularly rich in resources.
In addition, there is also an underground environment.
Excavation and construction deeper into the strata would be a huge project that would take decades, given the capabilities of the Eve swarm.
The most important thing is the lack of mining capabilities.
Creatures like earthworms are good, but they are still too small.
Meiji needs a larger ruthless excavation machine to open up a large area of underground space.
For example, giant sandworms or death worms.
But the most ideal thing is the Nydus Worm.
After digging the pit, you don’t have to worry about subsequent tunnel collapse.
This kind of bug can extend its size indefinitely by growing. While digging, its ability will also become part of the tunnel.
The blood and flesh channels in its body can rely on muscle peristalsis and chemical substances to carry out high-speed transportation processes.
Just like the blood circulation of the heart and blood vessels.
Through blood circulation, various nutrients and oxygen are transported to cells throughout the body.
Use tunnel worms to build a super-large underground worm tunnel network to secretly occupy the entire planet without destroying the surface ecology.
In this way, the entire planet will be transformed into Zerg.
And it takes an important step towards utilizing geothermal energy.
To get to this point, there are a lot of technologies that need to be unlocked and developed.
At least, we must first create a bug that absorbs geothermal energy.
The continuation of life lies in the acquisition and utilization of energy.
There are plants that maintain life through photosynthesis through chlorophyll, and there are also thermophilic microorganisms that adhere to submarine volcanoes and rely on heat to maintain life.
In the former, Meiji has a large number of plant-like bodies, and the progress is progressing steadily, while in the latter, she needs to find a body.
And compared to relying on photosynthesis to develop on the surface, Meijihe prefers to hide underground and rely on geothermal energy.
Mei Ji thought about things related to insects.
At this time, with a loud noise, Tsunade broke through the simple confinement room and ran out.
Meiji looked towards the sky.
It's already late at night.
He dusted himself off and stood up.
After Tsunade looked around and spotted Miki, she followed her and ran down the mountain wall, crashing into Miki's arms.
He broke down and cried loudly.
Crying like a little girl.
"It's okay, don't be afraid..."
Rubbing Tsunade's head and patting her back gently, Miki comforted her softly.
