Chapter 876

The most interesting thing is that some of these pipes are roads, some are residences of the sand armors, and there are also some larger spaces connected by pipes.

For example, where Yan Mo was taken now.

This is a place similar to a wastewater treatment tank, but now there is no water at all, only sand.

There are also many pipes around this wastewater pool, and people living in these pipes... Yan Mo didn't know it at first, but after staying for two hours, he understood that the people living here are all the old, weak, sick and disabled people wearing sand armor, and there are also It's warmer than those pipes outside.

Hiss, you're good, just live here temporarily. "Xiao Sha stopped at the door of a half-open small room that looked like it had some special purpose.

Yan Mo looked inside. There was no light inside, but his eyes could see clearly. It was an empty small room with nothing. There seemed to be some dots and lines on the wall, but he couldn't tell what they were. What's the point. Overall, this small room is only about eight square meters, but it is quite high, about five or six meters.

Xiaosha bit his pants leg and said to him seriously: Hiss! Every sand armor has to work. Even though you saved me, I can't feed you in vain. I provide you with shelter and food, but you have to work. It doesn't matter if you're trash, but if you're lazy, everyone will drive you away, and I won't be able to help you then. "

Yan Moxiao, Chuanshajia is a semi-intelligent creature, its language is not very rich, and its hissing contains some basic meanings. In order to facilitate understanding, he interpreted the meaning conveyed by the other party in his own language, so that he would become more accustomed to it. Judging from Xiaosha's expression, the social structure of the Shajia people is very strict, and they don't like lazy people.

What should I do? Yan Mo knelt down and reached out to touch Xiaosha again, this time to repay the favor.

Xiaosha didn't want Yan Mo to touch it at first, but when Yan Mo's hand actually touched it, its attitude completely changed. Ah, it feels so comfortable, touch it again!

Yan Mo had to ask again.

Xiao Sha squinted her eyes and said intoxicatedly: Hiss, you, you just need to touch me... No! Your job is to help the sand armors here remove the old sand from the cave and put in new sand. "

Xiao Sha suddenly looked at Yan Mo: Hiss, can you spray the net? "

Yan Mo took out a net bag from the space.

Xiaosha circled around the net bag and hissed. No, this kind of hole is too big and has no stickiness to trap sand. "

Xiaosha is very sad, hiss! Why are you so useless? Unable to even spray out a qualified network. "

What about such a network? "Yan Mo took out a large hemp bag.

Hiss! You can actually spit out such a net? Well, maybe you're not that useless. "Xiao Sha rolled up some sand with his tongue and put it on the sack. The result...

Hiss! You are still useless! The net you sprayed out is useless, it can't even hold the sand! "

Yan Mo didn't expect Xiaosha to test it on the spot, so he had to make a sad expression like a useless person - it was already amazing that he could transform himself into the scales of wearing sand armor in a short time, but he wanted to completely assimilate the physiology of wearing sand armor. It will take a long process to form a structure that can spin silk and form a web. At least the life energy and will power he currently has are not enough for him to do this.

Can you give me a sticky net? I'll pay you back, brother! "Yan Mo begged.

Xiaosha hesitated. Their webs were very important to them, and spraying the webs consumed their energy. It was said that every time the ancestors of the sand armors sprayed their webs, their lifespan would be shortened. Although they were not like this, a single A complete sticky web is still very, very important to them.

Can't? " Yan Mo's hand touched Xiaosha's back again, and his voice was particularly soft.

Xiao Sha was a little nervous. It stared at Yan Mo for a long time and hissed, if you touch me again..."

Yan Mo took back his hand. It's better not to agree to something you can't promise. Can I trade this with you? "

Xiaosha stared at the green light spots on his fingertips and yelled: Hiss! Want it! Give me! "It was very greedy for this kind of energy before, and finally this brother brought it out again.

Yan Mo exchanged his life energy for a sticky web. Later, after having more contact with the Sand Armor, he realized that when an adult Sand Armor gave a sticky web to another Sand Armor, it meant that he wanted to mate. Meaning, and if the other party accepts it, it means consent. Similarly, if an adult wears a sand armor and asks for a sticky net from another, it also means asking for mateship.

Fortunately, Xiaosha thinks Yan Mo is ugly and doesn't want to mate with him, otherwise... Haha!

With this sticky net kindly provided by Xiaosha, Yan Mo smoothly became a glorious member of the workers wearing sand armor.

The sand armors seem to be really the nemesis of this kind of pollutant. Their scales are the best protective armor, and their sticky webs can also pick up the polluted sand without worrying about being destroyed.

The job assigned to Yan Mo was very simple, which was to assist other sand-wearing armors to remove the old sand from the tunnel where the old, weak, sick and disabled lived, and then transport new sand in.

Xinsha

It can be taken from what looked like a waste pool, but is now a sand pool. It should be noted that this kind of easy work is generally only done by minors wearing sand armor, and those who do this kind of work by adults wearing sand armor are recognized as weak and useless. Because they do not need to go to the outside world to get sand, it is the job of the adult sand armor to bring in new sand from the outside world.

The old sand can be poured into a circular pipe next to the sand pool, and it will flow out along the pipe and return to the desert.

Xiao Sha probably thought that it had found a place for Yan Mo to live, arranged a relatively easy job for him, and rescued Yan Mo from the enemy. Its kindness was almost repaid, and it gave Yan Mo a head here. After the target put on the sand armor, he left.

The leader was a very amiable middle-aged man wearing sand armor. He did not discriminate against Yan Mo's deformity and even scolded the cubs when they were playing around Yan Mo.

Mo, the new deformed person who was hurt and had low self-esteem, filled a bag of sand into the single room he was assigned.

Yan Mo was not allowed to work today. His first task was to pave his residence with new sand.

Yan Mo had a headache looking at the sand. The sand looked white and smooth, but in fact it was polluted sand. If he got these sand into his residence, it meant that he needed to constantly make himself Maintain a suit of sand armor scales to ensure that you will not be swallowed up by these polluted sand grains and die.

But maintaining such scales also requires energy. Even if he has enough energy, it is not a long-term solution.

So he threw the contaminated sand in the corner.

The leader was a little worried and whispered to his friends that this new guy was a bit strange. Although it was big, it was very weak. He asked everyone to take care of it and asked the children not to stimulate it.

Yan Mo heard it in the room, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Unfortunately, the half-open door seemed unable to be opened and closed. He pulled it but did not pull it, so he had to leave it half-open.

He wasn't used to the darkness here, even though his eyes could see naturally. He was not afraid of being noticed by the sand armor outside, so he took out four small lamp trees planted in pots from the space and placed them in the four corners of the room.

The room suddenly became brighter, and Yan Mo suddenly felt much more comfortable mentally.

There were little sand-wearing armors peeking outside the door. They probably noticed the sudden light in the room, and these little sand-wearing armors were frightened.

Yan Mo heard several cubs hissing and went to call the leader.

The leader came around and wanted to come in, but hesitated. They are not afraid of light, but they do prefer to be active at night. The light from the lamp was very soft, but it was still too bright in a completely dark space. No wonder the little sand armors were panicked.

In the end, the leader left. They wore sand armors to unite and live together, but they would not get involved in the special behaviors of other sand armors unless their actions would harm other sand armors.

The leader stayed at the door for a while, using his own body to judge that the shiny plants were not harmful. He was more curious about where these plants came from.

The leader decided to report this matter to the higher-ups.

Yan Mo just wanted to alert more senior people wearing sand armor, and it would be best if he could induce them to take the initiative to see him. During this period of time, he happened to study the pollutants that destroyed energy.

In fact, it is not correct to say that these polluted sands have the function of swallowing energy. These pollutants are not swallowing energy, but destroying and decomposing the stable composition of energy, allowing the destroyed and decomposed energy to be converted into another kind of energy. That pollution The matter is then absorbed to maintain its own abilities, just like a living creature.

Living things..." Yan Mo raised his head, thinking about the composition of pollutants analyzed by the virtual machines in the sea of ​​souls.

Is it possible that those pollutants are living creatures? Or is it some kind of special alien bacteria?

In fact, this is not incomprehensible. For example, after a spider captures its prey, it will first inject a certain digestive enzyme into it to cause the prey's body to liquefy, and then the spider will suck the liquid.

If we assume that this kind of pollutant is also a living thing, then its energy to destroy and decompose the material is not like injecting special digestive enzymes into the energy containing the material to gasify the energy, and then convert it into something it can absorb. A substance?

By the way, Xingyu once told him that when he was shot by an energy weapon, his wings were immediately corroded to create a small hole, and the hole was still expanding. If he hadn't dug out the corroded wing ruthlessly, Bones, he might be swallowed whole.

Yuan Zhan was also injured by the energy weapon at that time, and a piece of flesh was also dug out.

So can it be judged that as long as there is energy, this kind of living thing - let's call it X bacteria, this kind of X bacteria will continue to reproduce by decomposing and absorbing energy, but once there is no active and abundant energy around them, they will Will die soon?

If his conjecture is accurate, then the desertification of this once fertile land was caused by the supply of these pollutants?
