Long Qi originally wanted to explain something, but Ronan's appreciation made him swallow his subsequent words again, and in the end he only said:
"so……"
"Strictly speaking, what you asked is not accurate - where are the bugs here?"
"ha?"
Ronan's eyes turned to the other side. At that position, Mr. Song was still groaning on the ground. The result of excessive excitement was that he was currently in a state of half-death.
His strength, emotions and even physical functions had reached their lowest point, allowing Ronan and Long Qi to comment on him - although the focus of their discussion was not on him.
At this time, a layer of gray embers fell around his prostrate body, which were the remains of the "worms" that had been adsorbed on his body after passing through the fire of the pattern.
From Long Qi's point of view, after all, these are insects. At the crack in the refrigerator, Cui Da and Xu Erke were still there fighting against the insect swarm, and they didn't hear anything unusual from them.
However, Ronan was very sure: "These are not bugs, at least not for the time being. They can only be regarded as... vehicles that meet the lower limit of the parasitic standard."
Ronan spent half a second to catch an inaccurate word, and finally added:
"They don't even want to 'parasitize' anymore."
Long Qi scratched his head, looking at the insect corpses curled and deformed under the high temperature of the Formatting Fire and the special formatting effect. He couldn't understand the details for a while.
Of course, he still had the most basic trust in Ronan, so he laughed twice, took two steps forward, and made a more detailed observation.
When you get closer, you can find that among the "insect corpses" everywhere, some are actually still moving slightly, fully demonstrating what it means to be "dead but not stiff".
Raven's camera also followed and incorporated these into the live broadcast - she became more and more like an excellent photographer.
"Stay far away, we are about to encounter you."
"What?"
Long Qi heard Ronan's reminder and took a step back.
However, this action was only subconscious, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. He was already very careful, and he was still some distance away from the outermost "worm corpses". He wished he could include a layer of pattern fire on his body.
The problem is that his behavior caused ridicule in the live broadcast room:
"Why are you so careless?"
"It almost broke."
"Are those poisonous?"
"Obviously Mr. Long Qi thinks it doesn't matter."
That's all Ronan said, those people in the live broadcast room... really can't stand it!
Long Qi had been paying attention to the live broadcast room, and he had become the target of criticism for no reason. It was really unjust. However, seeing the audience's conclusive barrage, he unconsciously took a few more glances at the screen...
Well?
Get rid of the interference of the barrage, and a picture with richer details than what he observed with the naked eye emerged.
Long Qi blurted out: "Where do these 'mycelium' come from?"
In the picture in the live broadcast room, there seems to be a grayish-white color lightly smeared in the space outside Mr. Song's exoskeleton. If you look closely, you can see that it is made up of countless intermittent and growing "mycelium".
Interlaced.
In the more peripheral areas, there was even a single "mycelium" swaying in the air - Long Qi really almost hit it just now.
The question is, if he can't see the outer ones, is he also blind in the dense area inside?
Could it be that the live broadcast footage has been reprocessed?
No, with Raven's character, it shouldn't be the case.
Long Qi forcefully opened and closed his eyes, rubbed them with his hands, and finally used the "sensory enhancement technique" that he had not fully mastered yet. He used the power of the format fire to slightly activate the cones. Only then did he rely on his own
Strength, vaguely saw a vague, seemingly abnormal "shadow".
He opened his mouth and finally closed it.
It turns out that the world in everyone's eyes is really different...
The "sensory enhancement technique" was too stimulating to the physical body, so Long Qi did not dare to use it more. In the end, he could only refer to the live broadcast and carefully adjust his position.
During this period, Long Qi also noticed that Wen Huilan had also walked over at some point, frowning slightly, looking at Mr. Song and the surrounding area.
She keeps her distance very well.
But, did she see it on her own, or did she also refer to the footage in the live broadcast room?
Long Qi's curiosity almost exploded: "So it's not a 'bug' but a 'fungus'? What are these pulled out 'mycelium' used for?"
"The connection line that transmits matter and information." Ronan used a very broad description, but the next sentence is quite "vivid", "If you 'listen' carefully, you can also feel some kind of noisy noise.
"
Long Qi shuddered: "Tell me this is just a literary statement."
Ronan just smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying:
"One thing can basically be concluded: compared to everyone else present, or in other words, all complete, independent living beings, these 'little things' who are still arguing, in this special environment, react better
The degree of change and sensitivity are higher."
"You mean...the mutant?"
Ronan shook his head.
Long Qi didn’t think so either: “Is that the aberrant gene? Those ‘fragments’?”
He changed several concepts in succession, but the more he learned from Ronan, the more his own understanding became more and more blurred. Because he really didn't understand the logic of the existence of these "hyphae" at the moment.
"Do you remember the question just now?" Ronan was a bit like a "professor" who took the initiative to ask Long Qi.
The latter is not so sure: "Who dies and who lives?"
Ronan nodded: "Although things have not reached the most extreme situation, with the development now, you should not underestimate their survivability."
"Haha." Long Qi couldn't help but complain, "I'm just curious. It's been 40 or 50 years since the Age of Distortion. If the 'fragments' you mentioned, Professor Luo, are all this kind of vitality, how can humans still live on the earth?"
superior?"
"It's very simple. The natural environment of the earth when the era of distortion began, including the current earth, is not a 'high energy environment'. Of course, this 'high energy' is not physical high energy. It can probably be understood as the difference between the abyssal zone and the matter we are used to.
The level of interaction and interference."
This topic touched Ronan's memory again: "Well, it seems that this matter was also discussed at the meeting. The old gentleman of the Secret Contract Lord led everyone to study the 'trend line', which is the Yuan District and
The issue of distortion correlation - I deny that the abyss area is directly related to distortion."
"..."
With this kind of topic, Long Qi could only teach obediently.
"Although the performance of the Abyss Zone is extremely chaotic, its mode of interference with the material world has always been very orderly, and there is also a very strict barrier to distinguish them from each other. People who are not capable of a certain level cannot use it at all.
energy of."
Ronan's tone was conclusive: "I believe there is a grand mechanism behind it, but we haven't fully discovered it yet. In contrast, the distortion thing..."
Ronan curled his lips, not wanting to repeat the negative statement that he had emphasized many times, but his attitude was clearly revealed.
Long Qi caught a point of difference: "Wait a minute, you said there is a distinction..."
"As I said before, I am currently artificially borrowing the power of the Abyss Zone to exert influence on this place, making it 'heat up' and turn it into a 'high-energy environment'. I learned this skill from Mr. Luo Yuan."
"Luo Yuan?"
Long Qi took a second to think of the mysterious figure who used the "plane crossbow" to assassinate Ronan. Ouyang Chen almost succeeded, and he could come and go freely in Xia City where the Lingbo Network was spread.
It must be said that this person's name is quite resounding among those who care about him. Just the fact that he can pose a threat to Ronan and Ouyang Chen is of unparalleled value.
He is also one of the "newcomers" most likely to be on the list in the new issue of "Deck".
However, does Luo Yuan have the ability that Ronan said?
Well, there is information that he is a famous gene dealer in the wilderness, and he seems to have mastered high-end cloning technology, the kind that can quickly catalyze growth...
Looking at the spreading "mycelium" and the "insect swarm" that hatched in large numbers at some point and are trying to break through the Format Fire blockade and break through, Long Qi felt that he understood a little bit.
Ronan actually explained a few more sentences later: "That gentleman once drove the artificial aberration 'nest' and borrowed the energy from the energy center to hatch a large number of aberration rats to hunt me down. And he was able to use the hatched
The thing is the carrier and serves as the 'plane crossbow' gun mount.
"I had the same confusion as you at the time. The most ordinary energy center in the city can charge endless 'nests' that hatch mutants. How did humans survive fifty years after the war?
"Now that I think about it, it may be true that the energy center provides energy, but the most critical environmental condition is not the simple energy supply, but the interference picture that triggers the power of the plane crossbow, or is triggered by the plane crossbow..."
Many people don't understand what Ronan said. It's because they haven't reached that level and don't have that experience.
Long Qi's level is not high enough, but as a Burner, whether it is training or simulation, he has had the experience of building a "formatted space" several times, and he can barely understand the meaning of the interference scene, and nods thoughtfully.
"These aberrant genes, small fragments, essentially still want to obtain more energy. However, what they desire is the 'modulated' interference power."
Ronan suddenly sneered: "If it is really a normal life structure, how can it be so picky? This has clearly transcended the basic logic of the material layer and the life layer, but it has also lost the original 'thumb', and is completely a 'fantasy'
The high-end style of the 'Fantasy Layer'...but does the existence of the 'Fantasy Layer' have to be so ungrounded?"
People like Long Qi, who have attended the Ticheng Beach Course, can completely understand what the so-called "thumb" and "fantasy layer" are. Therefore, he also grasped the key information in it.
Recalling the information Ronan expressed earlier, he felt that he understood something: "So, the source of this kind of 'fragments' may indeed come from some kind of high-end existence in the 'fantasy layer', but this
