Chapter 268 Cotton Becomes Fine
Not knowing what dangers there would be along the way, Na Zeyang let Ai Moye get on the mecha.
After taking off the protective clothing, Ai Moye took a breath and said to Guang Nao, "Uncle Di, we are going underground."
"I saw it." Di Lie noticed from the monitor that the two of them were descending, and their body data changed due to changes in pressure.
Na Zeyang collected the images and transmitted them to Di Lie. When the searchlight turned on, it was certain that they were traveling down the esophagus of the king-level Zerg.
Over the thousands of years that they have been rooted on land, the king-level Zerg have become one with the earth's veins. Their blood-red internal organs and criss-crossing meridians and blood vessels have all become part of the hard rock.
While the two were exploring the body of the king-level Zerg, Fei Jianan on the airship happened to wake up to drink water and went to the monitoring room to take a look.
Seeing this scene, he said in a low voice, "This place is nice. If we build an ancient castle, we might be able to deceive the interstellar fools, saying that a civilization left over from the Earth era was discovered in the body of the King-level Zerg, and it will definitely be overflowing with tourists."
Ai Moye complained in the mecha, "Senior Fei, you are really a money-making genius."
Fei Jianan laughed and said, "I don't know if it has any children or grandchildren in its body yet, so be careful."
After saying that, he felt that it was unnecessary. After all, there was Na Zeyang accompanying him, and the marshal himself was sitting here. It would be a ghost if anything happened.
He went back to sleep with peace of mind, and Aimoye and the two continued to explore.
Aimoye was testing the oxygen concentration, bacterial population, acid-base balance, etc. in the Zerg's body, and increasingly felt that the Zerg's body was really suitable for plant growth.
Just like an independent island, the diet of the king-level Zerg will bring nutrients to the interior.
Human and animal bones provide phosphate, adding phosphorus for plant growth. Blood is also rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other cool elements, which are also essential conditions for the healthy growth of plants.
The king-level Zerg has a great need for "food", and its descendants will hunt for it from the surrounding star fields, whether humans, star beasts or other Zerg.
When part of the residue is not excreted with feces, what remains becomes natural fertilizer.
If the king-level bugs swallow the seeds of certain plants while eating, they might take root and sprout in their bodies.
The more Ai Moye studied, the more confident she became, and she even became excited, which made Na Zeyang feel a little strange.
Of course, outsiders can't understand the mood of a botanist. The corners of Ai Moye's mouth turned up high at the thought of the possibility of discovering new plants in this king-level insect.
The temperature gets lower as you go down, with the display inside the mecha ranging from 15°C to 20°C. Unlike the hot surface of the planet, the underground temperature is suitable, but if it continues downward, even the mecha may be frozen.
Na Zeyang stopped and asked Ai Moye, "Have any traces of life been detected?"
Ai Moye stared closely at the monitor, "There is an unknown creature approaching from the seven o'clock direction. Senior, be prepared for battle."
Because he was inside the Zerg body, his field of vision was relatively wide, so Nazeyang quickly captured the figure of the opponent. The laser cannon on the right shoulder of the mecha rotated and aimed, and a laser beam was fired quickly.
After the traces of life disappeared, Aimoye said, "It's solved."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless red dots appeared on the monitor again, densely packed everywhere, and even the internal alarm screamed.
It was the bugs residing in the body of the king-level bugs that launched a fierce attack on the two intruders.
Na Zeyang swept away calmly, and Aimoye calmly continued to search for other life forms.
The body of the king-level Zerg is indeed like a paradise. In some places, rock-like soil grows, and there is even "soil" produced by a combination of protein groups and fungus clusters.
In such "soil", there are indeed plants.
Most of them are mosses, various fungi and algae, which can survive without photosynthesis.
Ai Moye was dazzled all the way. When she came to a place similar to the structure of the stomach, she asked to leave the mecha and observe on the spot.
Na Zeyang opened the hatch and told her not to go too far and try to stay within the range of the mecha.
Stepping on the "ground", the soft touch feels like green grass, but there is no fragrance of grass and trees, but a very strong stench.
Ai Moye put on the gas mask and looked up to see the huge layers of gastric mucosa, like shed snake skin, hanging in the gradually decaying stomach pouch.
After the death of the king-level Zerg, earth-shaking changes are taking place inside the body. I am afraid that the plants will also die quickly because of this. Before that, the rare plants must be recovered as soon as possible.
Ai Moye quickened her pace and released Da Da to search together.
Da Da had a keen sense of smell, and under Ai Moye's deliberate guidance, she quickly came to a "river".
This place is similar to the blood vessels of the king-level Zerg, with dark brown liquid flowing slowly in the wide tubes. If the blood wasn't coagulating, Ai Moye could even go down and take a bath.
Da Da dug around in the semi-coagulated blood for a while, and turned up a lot of corpses, most of which were undigested human limbs.
Ai Moye put on her gloves and fumbled out a cluster of purple-brown plants that resembled antlers from the human skeleton kicked over by Da Da.
Scratch the surface with your fingernails a little, and the chips will fall off, revealing the light green and translucent "pulp" inside.
Na Zeyang asked in the mecha, "What is this?"
"It should be carrageenan, a relatively crisp marine plant." Ai Moye was a little surprised.
Zeyang was puzzled, how could "marine plants?" grow in the blood vessels of king-level Zerg?
Ai Moye said, "The composition of blood is very similar to that of seawater, and many of the chemical components are the same. Perhaps carrageenan has also evolved the ability to adapt to environmental changes, and was once inhaled into the body of the king-level Zerg along with seawater."
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the carrageenan survives tenaciously.
Da Da flicked her tail towards the river, indicating that there was more.
Ai Moye wanted to use the magic circle, but found a huge writhing long worm floating in the slowly flowing blood.
She thought it was a giant python, but upon closer inspection she discovered that it was a parasite that had been living in the body of the King-level Zerg for who knows how many years.
Although she was not afraid, it was too disgusting, so she still asked Na Zeyang to use the mecha to catch seaweed.
Na Zeyang did not refuse and obeyed his master's orders resignedly.
There was Na Zeyang here, and Ai Moye walked down the blood river again, and came to a place with sunlight, which should be near the backs of insects.
A large hole opened in the back of the king-level Zerg. It was very small to itself, just like a human pore, but it was enough to let in the outside sunlight.
This little bit of sunlight causes the accumulated thin dust to give birth to green life forms.
When she saw the plants swaying in the wind, Ai Moye was stunned.
But before she could rush over and take a closer look, the tall bud-shaped plants suddenly opened their big mouths, revealing snow-white floc.
Ai Moye picked up Da Da and ran away, avoiding Feixu's attack.
Mom, the cotton has finally become fine!
