Chapter 439 Confusion (First Update)
When Yang Bo dissected those big black rats just now, he found that there were minerals in their bodies.
As for what minerals they were, Yang Bo was not sure, but judging from the color, they should be metal minerals. At that time, Yang Bo had some guesses in his mind, that is, the big black rats must have metal abilities since they ate this kind of metal.
As for why killing big black rats would give the ability to fake death, it was not clear at that time, but now these big rat cubs have the ability to control metals.
Then the ability to fake death should be the ability of parasites, that is to say, those adult big black rats may have been killed by parasites, after all, in their brains.
Of course, this is just Yang Bo's guess, because Yang Bo had never gained abilities from reptiles before.
So although these big black rat cubs looked soft and cute, Yang Bo still burned them with fire.
After Yang Bo lit the fire, he turned around and left. In fact, Yang Bo did not want to see these cubs screaming in the fire.
Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is innocent, which is Yang Bo's current mentality.
Metal control +2!
Metal control +2!
Although Yang Bo felt a little reluctant, the information coming from his mind still made him feel very happy.
"Anyway, you big black rats will be controlled by parasites in the future, so I might as well kill you first." In addition, Yang Bo is very good at comforting himself. This is an ability he learned in his previous life. If he had not learned to comfort himself in his previous life, he would have died long ago.
When people are in trouble, they must think a little and comfort themselves a little, otherwise they will not survive.
"And there are so many big black rat cubs, and there are not many adult big black rats. Maybe these parasites will cause some big black rat cubs to die when they parasitize." Yang Bo also found that the number of big black rat cubs was a bit too much, and they were all the same size, which was a bit incredible.
Generally, the size of a group of wild animal cubs will be somewhat different, not as uniform as what Yang Bo saw this time.
Yang Bo controlled his character, and at the same time, the information of metal control came from his mind.
Yang Bo's operation made the people in the background of the game a little stunned, but Yang Bo's style of doing things was a bit unexpected. So these people just talked about it verbally, without any actual action.
"Boss, I'm afraid this is the first parasite we have seen on this planet that can parasitize the brains of mutant animals?" A staff member from the game department asked.
The lieutenant colonel nodded: "It is indeed the first time that this parasite has been discovered. I wonder if this parasite is harmful to us humans."
"Boss, then this is also a major discovery for us. Do you want to take back the sample for research?" Someone else asked, because every major discovery is considered a meritorious performance.
In this era, it is difficult for the alliance military to make meritorious contributions. A lot of people are waiting for the old guys above to step down, so they can be promoted.
But the old guys in the military have many ways to extend their lifespans, so it is very difficult to get promoted.
This is also why the commander of the Ninth Fleet was excluded by several other fleets, because it was originally a feast of meritorious service for everyone, but it was handled by this guy alone.
These old guys in the military all have a few relatives, and they all have a few descendants, daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.
If these people want to be promoted, they can only exchange their merits for it, otherwise they can only be replaced after the people above leave. Now, each person has his own position. The people in some positions may seem insignificant, but only when someone moves them will they know who is behind them.
The game department has made several contributions because of Yang Bo, and if he can make enough merits this time, then he will be promoted and have a raise.
"Don't take the samples back for now, wait until this guy explores it, because it is not certain whether this biological sample will bring disaster to the laboratory, and the experts above will analyze the data." The lieutenant colonel shook his head and said.
The others nodded, and unknown creatures should not leave their original planet as much as possible. If they are brought to other planets, they may bring disaster to the creatures on other planets.
Everyone watched Yang Bo continue to explore the mine. The more the mine branched out, the more mines there were, and the sizes of these branched mines were different.
Yang Bo didn't know what the mine was mining, mainly because there were too many kinds of minerals in the interstellar era, and it was difficult to know what minerals there were without special study.
As for whether the bionic man he was operating had relevant detection equipment, Yang Bo was not sure, because some functions of the bionic man were not yet open.
Yang Bo searched the mines one by one, but most of the mines were empty, perhaps they were just passages.
Yang Bo came to a burning mine again, but it was already burned out, and only charred things could be seen on the ground. As for what was inside, it was a bit hard to tell. There were also a few big black rats here. Yang Bo dissected these big black rats and found bugs in their heads.
"The temperature has risen?" Yang Bo used his photoelectric superpower to remotely discover that the surrounding temperature had risen, and the surrounding humidity had also risen.
However, all this was not displayed on Yang Bo's display terminal. After all, what Yang Bo displayed was just a game.
When Yang Bo arrived at the place 40 kilometers away from the mine, he found a relatively small tunnel with water flowing out of it.
Although the water flow was not very large, Yang Bo finally knew why the mine became more humid the further he walked. It turned out that it was because of the water.
Yang Bo looked at the water on the ground, and his mind thought of the parasites that live in the stomach of the mantis on Earth.
But then Yang Bo thought again, he was just operating a robot now, even if he encountered a situation, it would not harm him at all. Moreover, if he personally went to the place and encountered such a situation, he would first use his superpowers to scan it.
Throw some lightning, throw some flames, etc., pass the current on the ground once and burn it with flames. I don’t believe that any creature can resist these two attacks.
So Yang Bo did not hesitate to control the bionic robot to drill into the mine.
The humidity in the mine was still very high, and the temperature was gradually rising.
The temperature in this kind of mine should be constant, but because of the fire, the ventilation inside was too fast, resulting in a slight difference between the temperature inside and the outside.
The temperature in this area is obviously higher than that in the main tunnel.
There are obviously big black rats in this mine cave, because the ground is very smooth. Fortunately, the bionic man has high-tech equipment and can see the situation in the mine cave more clearly.
It is relatively quiet in this mine cave, and there is no air flow, or the air flow speed is not that fast. At least Yang Bo did not capture any wind sound through remote photoelectric ability.
After walking about 1,000 meters, Yang Bo saw a relatively large space.
However, Yang Bo's scalp was numb at a glance. This area is a place with a diameter of about 20 meters, but there is water dripping from the top and sides.
Calcified pools are formed one by one on the ground.
The height here is about ten meters, and stalactites have been formed one by one.
The water dripping from above seems normal, but the water seeping from the wall of the mine cave next to it has temperature, which is a trickle to be precise.
There are only four calcified pools, three of which are relatively small and irregular, and the smallest one is only about half a square meter.
The largest calcified pool is about eight or nine square meters. In this calcified pool, there are more than a dozen black rat cubs floating, and parasites can be seen on these cubs.
It is the kind of parasite in the head of the black rat dissected by Yang Bo.
There is also a ball of meat in this pool, and there is an eye on this ball of meat. The ball of meat has many tentacles, which looks a bit like anemone.
Some of these black rat cubs are still breathing, but some are obviously dead.
The black rat cub that is still breathing has a parasite on one ear, half of it is outside and half of it is inside.
There are dozens of parasites in this warm calcified pool, wandering happily in it, looking like white lines.
Yang Bo felt like vomiting when he saw this scene. Imagine a calcified pool that was originally clear and transparent, filled with crooked parasites.
Maybe Yang Bo's arrival startled the meatball, and then Yang Bo was attacked inexplicably the next second.
Because Yang Bo was watching the screen on the virtual projection side, you have been attacked by unknown energy and the character has been damaged.
Yang Bo quickly stepped back, then took out the laser sword and threw it over.
The laser released by the laser sword is high temperature, of course this thing must be waterproof.
And this scene also shocked other people in the background of the game.
"Quick, check what kind of energy attack it is, why is there no prompt in our data?" The lieutenant colonel was also a little confused. You know, this is the most advanced bionic man in the military, with many incredible functions, and just now it was attacked by energy, but there was no warning information.
"Boss, do you want to stop this guy? This may be the only research target." A subordinate immediately asked.
"It's too late!" The lieutenant colonel watched the bionic man open the laser sword and throw it into the pool.
The laser sword itself relies on super high temperature to cut other things, so Yang Bo's laser sword thrown in is equivalent to throwing a super hot one in.
The water in the entire calcified pool immediately boiled, just like a red-hot iron block thrown into a bucket.
The sticky meat lump can be seen with the naked eye. All the tentacles stretch out directly, and then curl up, while the other parasites stretch their bodies directly, obviously cooked by the high temperature.
Energy absorption +4!
Energy absorption +2!
And Yang Bo himself was also stunned, because there appeared in his mind that he had gained more than a dozen points of energy absorption.
Then at this time, Yang Bo suddenly saw a message pop up on the game screen.
Congratulations to the player for completing the mine exploration task. Please return to the resurrection point to select equipment. Please leave the mine within 20 minutes. The mine is affected by inexplicable energy and is collapsing.
Yang Bo saw this familiar scene and knew that he had completed his mission. The military had found something more valuable and wanted him to get out.
Although Yang Bo knew this, he still turned around and ran away, not even taking the laser sword, because the things in the calcified pool were really disgusting.
In his previous life, Yang Bo was afraid of these twisted and sticky insects, and he didn't like centipedes and millipedes.
Other spiders don't matter.
Yang Bo ran quickly in the mine. In Yang Bo's game screen, the mine was shaking and rocks kept falling. However, Yang Bo found that this was not the case through remote photoelectric superpowers.
In the military game department, the lieutenant colonel was anxious because Yang Bo's bionic man was attacked by unknown energy just now, and the bionic man could not detect it.
"Adjust the screen, let the player enter the virtual game, send a fighter plane outside to pick him up, and wait for him to reach the resurrection point. Today's game time is up and he is forced to log off. The reward will be discussed tomorrow." The lieutenant colonel did not expect such an accident to happen suddenly, so he had not yet decided what reward to give Yang Bo.
Unknown energy, you must know that the various sensors carried by bionic people are not the most advanced in the entire universe, but at least the most complete. After all, these energy detection devices are indispensable for exploring this planet.
And now this bionic man is attacked by energy and cannot be detected, so we must protect the scene and let the relevant experts quickly control other equipment to take a look.
The next second, Yang Bo, who was controlling the bionic man to escape, suddenly felt something was wrong, that is, the remote photoelectric communication between himself and the bionic robot was lost.
Yang Bo connected with the bionic man through his virtual image game control signal. Now he lost contact with the bionic man, which was obviously done by the military.
Yang Bo was now playing a real virtual game. Yang Bo quickly ran out of the main alley, and then followed the prompts and found that there was a fighter plane outside to receive him.
Yang Bo jumped on the fighter plane, and the fighter plane roared up, and then Yang Bo received another prompt, that is, there was not much time left for today's game.
"......" Yang Bo was a little speechless, it seemed that he could not get the reward this time.
"These bastards will not prepare rewards, I guess I can't complete this task." Yang Bo speculated maliciously.
Sure enough, when there was still half a minute to go offline, the fighter plane dropped Yang Bo at the resurrection point.
Yes, that's right, just let Yang Bo jump down by himself, and then the picture turned, Yang Bo arrived at the resurrection point.
Yang Bo didn't care. Anyway, the rewards for any mission will be the same tomorrow morning.
"What is energy absorption? Is it the way those parasites grow?"
"This mission has confused me. The big black rats give me the ability to control metal, and the parasites give me the ability to absorb energy. Then the two together give me the ability to fake death?" Yang Bo felt that his CPU was about to burn out.
