Chapter 1353 Reverse Evolution
He didn't find an eye-like organ on the new towering tree, but saw a thin film of flesh on the edge of the branch, with flagella that looked like tentacles growing on it. Combined with Emma's deduction, this structure can stimulate pulse energy, Enough to form a covering effect on the surrounding environment.
When observing the image of the giant tree, he discovered an unusual feature, which completely overturned his previous thoughts.
He originally thought that the V-shaped phagosome biosacs hanging on the branches like fruits would continue the previous hunting mission, but the fact is, as the branches turned from black to transparent, red liquid flowed out from the biosacs, along the inside of the branches. The meridian tissue flows down into the root system of the giant tree.
At the same time, the fruit-like biological sacs began to shrink, from their original plump state to shriveled and thin, especially the damaged biological sacs that were hit during the crash of the mothership platform, and a green juice flowed out of them.
He was confused by the scene in front of him, and didn't know what the other side was doing. The most intuitive information expression is that the v-00 phagosome material entrenched on the mothership platform sucked up the v-type phagosome biological capsule stored in the lattice unit...
"The phagosomes...are killing each other? Why does this happen?"
When the third detector approached the mothership platform from the level close to the ground at the risk of destruction, and fed back a photo to the star track command center, Emma speculated about the shocking scene.
The phagosomes on the mothership platform were indeed killing each other, but it was not at all as he guessed, and it was in line with the results of Valentine and Abathur's previous experiments. What happened on the mothership platform has a leader, which is the mother hive core of the v-00 phagosome. It is abandoning the mothership platform, and completing the directed evolution by absorbing the life matter of the V-type phagosome.
According to the deep scan image given by the detector, it can be seen that the mother nest core is leaving the central compartment of the battleship, and at the same time it has developed a biological structure that can store high-pressure gas. It seems that it intends to use this organ to fly in the sky.
Tang Fang did not doubt Emma's guess at all, because the central cabin of the mothership platform was hit during the crash, and huge cracks appeared. If you look carefully, you will find growing biological tissue and energy circulation.
V-type phagosomes have given up their ability to infect organisms in order to gain the ability to control mechanical and electronic products. V-00 phagosomes are expanded on the basis of V-type phagosomes. The parasitic targets are the operating systems of battleships. ------This cognition has been verified many times. However, the scene in front of him completely broke his understanding of v-type phagosomes and v-00-type phagosomes. The core of the mothership platform is actually undergoing reverse evolution? !
He didn't know if this was the latest scientific achievement of the Supreme Security Council, or if it was a rare mutation like the e-type phagosome that infected Zhou Ai before. In short, he is very sure of one thing --- now is not the time to think about this issue, but now is the time to deal a fatal blow before the target has completed its transformation.
"Don't miss this opportunity, never miss it again." When this thought flashed in his mind, he straightened his handlebars, stepped on the accelerator pedal hard, and the Vulture Chariot rushed out of the slope at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the crash area of the mothership platform. and go.
The sand blasted into the air on the wings of the Vulture Chariot, and the roar of the locomotive echoed endlessly. He crossed the ravine, broke through the sand dunes, and with an unruly vanity behind him, he faced the giant tree in front of him.
Because the terrain leading to the target crash area is not flat, the Vulture chariot will inevitably experience bumps. From a distance, it looks like it is driving on a turbulent sea, but the sea is blue, but it turns into a yellowish yellow here. What the vehicle picks up is gravel, not water.
The glitz behind the vulture chariot does not refer to the tail flames of the engine, but the arcs of the Storm Goddess.
The giant tree supported by the phagocytic biological tissue on the surface of the mothership platform is more than 200 meters high. It looks like a mountain covered with frost, stretching around the canyon, covering the sky and the sun.
This giant tree that is undergoing reverse evolution can detect invisible units like detectors, and naturally it can also detect small ones rushing from afar.
In any case, I don't think that Captain Tang came with good intentions.
Black sacs bulged one after another on the surface of the branches, slowly turning into a nozzle structure, and the hard bone spurs that pierced the detector before shot to the ground like an arrow from the string. You must know that the giant tree is like a hill compared to the human body, and those nozzle structures shoot out bone spurs together, and the density is much higher than the torrential rain.
No matter how fast the vulture chariot is, it is impossible to survive the torrential rain alone, so Tang Fang had to use system units.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the huge body of the swarm guards protected the area where the vulture chariot was.
For vulture chariots and humans, the bone spurs shot down by giant trees are very deadly, but for large zerg units like the swarm guards, it's like a thin needle is pricked on the body surface, only a little uncomfortable, not fatal.
You must know that it will take a while for the v-00 phagosome at the core of the mothership platform to complete the reverse evolution, and the evolution mainly takes place at the core of the mother hive. The vine-type biological tissue that originally hovered on the surface of the mothership platform still maintains the v-00 type It has unique attributes and does not have the characteristics of infecting creatures, so you can safely and boldly invest in Zerg units.
Of course, he wouldn't put all the pressure on the swarm guards. The carapace above was filled with brilliance, and several mechanical sentries showed up, laying force field shields one after another in the direction of the giant tree.
The Disruption Ray does not deal damage to the target, but the Force Shield protects the Swarmguard from taking as little damage as possible.
What happened next shocked him, and his fear of the reverse-evolving v-00 phagosome polymer went even further.
Because the v-00 phagosome polymer is very resistant to energy attacks, he has always been very measured, and did not use similar means to delay, but to speed up his pace as much as possible to the area where the mother nest core is located. Who would have thought that this giant tree was very smart, after the force field shield appeared, it kept shaking its branches, and the slender structure at the end became flexible and flexible, spreading across the surface of the force field barrier like tentacles that could move freely, wrapping it around.
In essence, the force field barrier is composed of solidified energy, and the flexible tentacles winding on it become tighter and tighter, and the force field barrier placed inside is like ice cream that melts quickly in the sun, becoming The food of the tentacles is turned into the purest energy and injected into the trunk channel of the giant tree along the tiny transparent veins, and transported to the root system.
The shield he used to resist the deadly needles was eaten by that guy... ate... This is the first time he has encountered an energy-hungry phagosome polymer, at least in terms of evolutionary consciousness, it is better than the previous gates of hell , Blood Winged Demon, Tai Sui, and Behemoth Devouring Body should be more aggressive and flexible---although what is happening now is reverse evolution.
The reason why it is not called degeneration is essentially a self-change of the v-00 phagosome to adapt to the environment. After all, the mothership platform was attacked by the beam array, and the main system was severely damaged. Even if the v-00 phagocytosis had the opportunity to obtain enough energy to repair it biologically and make it work again, there was no way to leave Tanda Star. After all, it was just a loaded Platform, missing warp components.
You must know that bug creatures like hybrid asteroids, which are powerful enough to break through the warp speed interception net of the Prophet ship and tear the space-time barrier, are not common. If every group of v-00 phagosomes is qualified to become that kind of guy, wouldn't this world have long been in the pocket of the Supreme Security Council?
There was another suspicious aspect that made him unable to figure it out. For the other small and medium-sized hybrid warships purified by the Sarnaga keystone, he has sent ghost agents to investigate. The result is that the internal operators all committed suicide by taking poison in extreme ways after realizing that they could not escape.
Because the energy nova of the Sarnaga keystone does not have the ability to screen targets, even the nerve tree is also destroyed, so it is impossible for Bulwell Arnold to escape on the nerve tree.
The mothership platform in front is different, and the energy nova is not very aggressive when it expands here. From the situation of the core core of the mother hive, it is easy to conclude that the v-00 phagocytosis parasitic on the mothership platform is safe and sound, so the person in charge of the ground battlefield Why didn't the commander liberate the nerve tree and use the classic method to leave Tanda Star, but chose to absorb the essence inside the v-shaped phagosome biosac to start the reverse evolution?
Was it because he was afraid of the Dragon Whisperer or intercepted him halfway? Or... the behavior in front of me is the independent choice of the v-00 phagosome of the parasitic mothership platform, and has nothing to do with the internal command personnel?
He was taken aback by his own thoughts. Judging from the information Abathur obtained from Bulwell Arnold, the hybrid battleship is different from Type III-V phagosome polymers, and is closer to Type I phagosome polymers and Type II phagosome polymers in terms of intelligence. The level is low, only a certain degree of evolutionary instinct, and its movement, attack and other behaviors are all controlled by the driver.
To put it simply, he suspects that the instigator of the changes in front of him is the V-00 phagosome, not the driver of the mothership platform.
This is a bit scary.
When he was shocked and puzzled by his conjecture, the situation in the sky deteriorated again. The tentacles that originally wrapped the force field barrier suddenly grew wildly, turning into a large net to cover the swarm guards.
The surface of these translucent tentacles seems to be coated with a layer of super glue, and it is difficult to peel off the surface of the swarm guard. The next scene resembled a moth touching a spider web, and the swarmguard slamming left and right, trying to pull it out, trying to break free from the tentacles. However, no matter how hard it tries, even if the ovules are fired, there is no way to melt the longer and thicker tentacles.
When the vulture chariot touched the edge of the mothership platform, the tentacles that bound the swarm guards had formed a cocoon structure, and it was difficult to distinguish the internal situation from the outside, but the cocoon body could be seen swaying from side to side in the sand and dust. Blown by the wind, or bumped by the Swarmguard.
Tang Fang knew very well that the swarm guards were not dead and were still alive, but they couldn't break those flexible tentacles.
Although the giant tree hung up the V-shaped phagosome bio-bag and sucked up the essence inside, for some unknown reason, it still couldn't digest the chitin carapace of the Zerg.
Emma said that the v-00 phagosome focused its evolution on the root system of the giant tree, which is where the core core of the mother hive is located. It will take some time to form a digestive organ for the swarm guards. Of course, if he continues to invest heavily in zerg units and is captured by the giant wood, perhaps the v-00 phagocytosis will adjust the evolution plan and form a digestive organ for zerg units as soon as possible, because this can obtain more and faster energy and complete the reverse evolution.
Emma used "digestion" instead of "infection", which shows that it is not an easy task to transform from a v-00 phagosome back to a life body similar to a iv-type phagosome, and it needs enough time...and energy.
Of course, he would not give the monster in front of him time to transform. After the vulture chariot rushed to the upper deck of the platform, the accelerator pedal was pressed to the bottom. He almost stood up from his seat and rushed towards the cracks in the hull of the core area with a strong wind.
The wind from the sky was wrapped in yellow sand, some fell on the broken deck above the platform of the mothership, and some hit the surface of the harsh environment protective clothing crackling and even aching. This shows how fast the vulture chariot is.
From the fragmented edge deck of the mothership platform to the core area, the whole journey is less than one kilometer. It stands to reason that the destination can be reached very quickly at the speed of the vulture chariot. But what he didn't expect was that in the depths of the cracks created by the impact during the crash, in those hollowed out storage units, one black spike after another quickly drilled out from below.
He originally thought that the v-00 phagosome aggregates would gather on the surface of the platform to form a towering giant tree, and at the same time take away the v-type phagosome biological capsule of the storage unit, so there would be no danger. Facts have proved that this kind of thinking is really naive.
Those black spikes drilled from the ground are not only sharp, but may also grow many forks, which are more difficult to guard against than the tentacles from the sky.
With the detectors following behind and Emma's help, he can predict the tentacles and needles falling from the sky, and try to avoid them. But it is really powerless to face the sharp spikes that drilled out from some area underground at an unknown time.
Just when the vulture chariot rushed to the periphery of the core area, and the core core of the mother nest wriggling like a heart in the gap of the deck could already be seen with the naked eye, a forked spike that pierced the damaged deck was inserted into the vulture chariot chassis.
Driven by inertia, Tang Fang's body flew forward, while the vulture chariot itself was restrained by thick spikes. In front of the track, bumps appeared on the surface of the deck covered with cracks and creases. There is no doubt that more spikes are drilling upwards. Once they fall there, they will inevitably open several skylights in the body.
At the critical moment, he didn't panic or fear. The Storm Goddess who was slanting by his side shot a cyan light, piercing the fuel tank of the vulture chariot. The sound of the explosion hadn't entered the ears, and when the heat radiation touched the soles of the feet, a standard riot shield for Marines appeared behind him.
