Chapter 705: The Transformation of Another World
"The first meatball, the second meatball, and the mushrooms found in that world..."
"They all belong to a kind of 'army', and the reason for their appearance is probably that they have a lot to do with a microorganism in that world. ⊙,"
"Microorganisms? You mean the ones that roll over?"
"...No, this microbe doesn't roll over. I can call it a 'suction stick'. You can imagine it looks like an ancient squid sucker."
"I see, something of this shape will definitely not roll over."
"But they can coexist friendly with the plague fungus. In fact, they were originally a parasitic species. The shape of the sucker and the relatively small size allow them to stick to other microorganisms, and then they will stick out a lot of... small spikes prick."
"Using this kind of spikes, they can directly affect the host's 'gene', which can add a lot of extra information to the target, and then make the host grow some special structures...such as structures that deliver nutrients to them."
"That is to say, the microorganisms parasitized by the 'sticky stick' will grow a pipe-like structure to feed the 'sticky sticky'."
"Because the amount of feeding is not large, this parasitic relationship can last for quite a long time. During the process of parasitism, the 'sucker' will continue to divide and multiply, and then its larvae will stick to other microorganisms as new hosts. "
"They have a great advantage in this way of life in the local area. My spiders took many samples of the surrounding environment on the way back, and found that there are microorganisms parasitized by them everywhere..."
"So, this non-tumbling thing meets a fungus?"
"That's right. The mucilages can stably parasitize local microorganisms. Then modify them to provide nutrients for themselves...so when they encounter fungi. They also try to modify fungi."
"There were some problems as a result..."
"The specific process is not clear, but I think the 'sucking sticks' must have failed when they transformed the fungus, but when they parasitized, the fungus did not swallow them immediately, and then their transformation behavior triggered the fungal attack Some kind of information inside the kernel."
"This makes those parasitic fungi begin to grow into a special type of army... which is the current meatball."
"These arms were probably designed a long time ago,
They have great intelligence and command ability. Maybe it's...their brains designed it. "
"The purpose is to let the fungus grow a new brain to continue commanding after death, but why didn't the fungus grow this kind of meat before?"
"That should be related to the previous 'curse'. It is possible that the curse of fungi in the brains of subtypes is not limited to the fear of sea water, but also has many other influences."
"But fungi seem to be able to rely on foreign-induced mutations to lift part of the 'curse', so the meatballs were born in this situation."
"That meatball seems to be able to roll over."
"A large part of their life process cannot roll over, including the mushroom form and the second form. The smallest meat ball we found should be the initial form. It is not clear what stage the mushroom form is, but there is no first form I found. The second one is so mature. The second meatball... the biggest one is the most mature by far, and its ability is also the strongest. But I think it will continue to grow."
"In the end, they may grow into something like a 'plague brain', but they seem to have a lot of extra functions, such as installing random monster limbs on their bodies to gain mobility. This meatball may have started from very early Just those fungi that have been connected to the random strange cue ball..."
"Give them all kinds of orders and commands... Maybe the 'Plague Dragon' was created under its influence, and there are various plans for those fungi to prepare for a full-scale attack."
"At the same time, it also wants to use the thieves group to attack me here, and cooperates with the small meat group to block my connection with the outside world, but they don't know that I have contacted its shielding soon, and then go to a certain place. I found it in a cave, plus this mushroom caught in that world, all these meatballs have been dealt with."
"That is to say, if they are solved, the fungus will lose its command?"
"No, there is also the plague dragon. It has grown rapidly and already possessed considerable intelligence. Even without the need for meatballs, this giant beast can act on its own, direct itself...spread infection by itself."
"I still need to study other issues, so you can help the random monster a little bit, although it seems useless."
"No, I don't want to help them anymore."
"Because they... don't want to roll over at all!"
………………
"...I do think it is not of the same race as me." The dean turned off the communication device, and then looked behind him.
In the vast laboratory, two meat balls and a mushroom were housed in a transparent 'cell' in the laboratory, and these things no longer sent brainwaves here.
Although the Patriarch thinks they are intelligent, they have never communicated with the Patriarch, so the Patriarch does not intend to communicate with them.
But I didn't plan to get rid of them so quickly, but put them here for observation. As for their food... they can be fed with Xumin meat.
Because the thieves attacked here before and left a lot of meat, the headmaster can eat it himself, and there will be no shortage of food for a long time in the future.
What the Dean wants to know now is...why the astral gate is connected to another world.
I thought it was a coincidence before, maybe it just happened to be connected to something similar in other worlds...
But that didn't seem to be the case, and the patriarch then sent a metal spider back to the colony where the star gate was located, and entered a building next to the star gate.
The Dean is watching the spider.
Because it entered the night, the removal activities of the thieves group did not continue, they all entered a state of rest, and the other small thieves groups that were driven away gathered in large numbers in the distance, just as the headmaster thought. Prepare to attack the 'Smiley Gang'.
Knowing this, the Smiley Gang also kept on guard under the leader's order, and immediately retreated to the door if there was any problem...
While they were not moving, the Dean entered the building to check... This colonial building is a two-story house.
The equipment inside is quite 'luxury', but now these things are scattered everywhere, because they have been 'looted' by those thieves.
Those useful things have been moved away, and useless things are scattered all over the ground...
'Snapped! ’ The headmaster’s spider stepped on something, and this thing... seems to be a photo of the original occupants here. In the photo, there are two empty people holding a cub, looking very happy.
But they don't know where they are now. Soon, the dean passed through the first floor and came to the entrance of the room on the second floor.
The room on the second floor was not 'ransacked', the door here was tightly closed, and there were marks of being beaten on it, but the door was still not opened.
The Xumin didn't use the bomb to open the door, probably because they were afraid of hurting the things inside, which made the place very safe.
The dean knows that this second floor is usually a place where important items and property are placed, so it will be locked very tightly.
However, the headmaster knew how to open the door here. The metal spider stretched out its forelimb and poked a little on the door, and a picture popped up on the door.
'Please enter a password'.
It says so.
The dean looked at the top and hesitated for a while, and then let the spider continue to poke it a few times in a row, and the display of 'password is correct' popped up immediately, and then the door slowly rose...
It's really the password...
In the photo I saw before, the dean found that there was a short date written there, so the dean entered the date as a password, and it turned out to be correct.
Originally, the dean wanted to use a more direct method, but this is much more convenient.
And those thieves obviously didn't notice...
'Ka...' After the door slowly opened, the dean walked into the second floor. Everything here was in good condition. There were several things called 'safes', and some mechanical parts.
The Dean's spider slowly walked up to a complete mechanical device, then poked it, and a picture popped up.
This is a monitoring system, every building near the astral gate has it, and its purpose is to monitor the astral gate.
Although the gate was blocked, the virtual people here felt uneasy, so they installed these systems to continuously monitor the gate.
The Dean tuned it up and called up the most recent image. It could see the scene where its metal spider was besieged by those united thieves.
And if the time is adjusted forward, there is nothing around the astral gate. Although there are many virtual people in the colony, almost none of them are close to the astral gate.
The headmaster continued to adjust the time. In the recent days and nights, the headmaster didn't see anything suspicious except for the people who passed by...
But as the headmaster continued to adjust... it finally saw a suspicious vain.
When the patriarch saw it, the vagrant was crouching under the sealed shell of the astral gate, as if he was making something, but because his back was facing this side, the patriarch couldn't see what it was doing.
After it fiddled with it, it stretched out its hand and tapped lightly on the shell, and the shell opened a hole for it to pass through, and then it burrowed through.
Sure enough, the connection to that world... is indeed because there is something weird here, and that thing is also related to the meatball.
And it might not be a hypocrite. (To be continued..)
