4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Fungus Island, 300 meters underground.

It's like ... another world.

It took Lin's predator troops for excavation a few days and nights to arrive here. Upon arriving at this place, Lin discovered that the island was not so simple.

This is a vast underground space, with mycelium shining star-like light covering the cave walls and the ground, some of the thicker mycelium gathered like pipes, forming a huge mushroom up to about five meters high, everywhere in the underground It's all like this, these mushrooms are only one every few meters, but they have nothing to do with fungi.

This structure has only one function-concentrated nutrients. Mushrooms can compress the nutrients transmitted by the mycelium, and finally produce a dehydrated hardened structure. This can be called 'mycoplasma'.

But Lynn seemed to have arrived too late. The predators scattered underground to find that most of the mushrooms were empty, and only one was still in operation.

These fungi are indeed consciously fighting against Lin. They secretly dissolve all the nutrients on the ground and all the fungi. Then they are transported to the bottom of the ground to compress them into 'mycetes'. Finally, these fungi are shipped away.

Lin has discovered how they were transported away. In this underground cave, there are some twisted passages leading directly to the sea, and in these passages, there are some traces of living things.

This trace ... like some large arthropod traces, some like a marine, trilobite-like creature ...

It turned out that the plague fungus transported some of the nutrients back to such deep ground, and then transported away with a marine arthropod?Because this place is deep, did Lin not notice?These marine arthropods must also be infected.

Obviously, the plague fungus wants to escape, so it sacrifices a lot of nutrients to make the illusion of self-dissolution, so that some of the remaining nutrients have the opportunity to be transported out of the island.

The manifestation of obvious wisdom, isn't it?

Lin began to see that these fungi responded slowly, but it was not like this. They were always trying to deal with Lin. It is absolutely not wrong for them to control some kind of highly intelligent creature ...

However, if you escape from here, it means that there are other fungal islands nearby, because the infected aquatic organisms cannot eat in the water, otherwise it will kill the fungi in the body, and the fungi will make the creature itself very fragile. They Can't swim far.

Lin immediately started a comprehensive search and released a large number of pilots in Behemoth, the center of Fungi Island, to investigate the nearby waters ...

It should be found without flying far.

Speaking of that, Monte II has been kept in Behemoth's body by Lynn. Lynn tried to communicate with it, and Lynn found that he was often reluctant to communicate, its "character" and head worms and Inca swarms There is a big gap. It often shows emotions such as anger or fear. It seems that it is difficult to reach a friendly relationship with it.

If you kill it, the Aztecs will be completely exterminated, so let ’s keep it first.

In addition, Lin found that Chibucha was a very interesting creature. Lin fed them with other common types of fungi, and found that they could digest some fungi other than the plague fungus. Therefore, Lin caught a group of Chibucha. Feed them other fungi to change their habits.

The pilots who went out to explore the surrounding waters quickly responded. One of the pilots found an island seven kilometers west of Fungus Island. The island is round and about one kilometer in diameter. The whole island is covered by fungus ... …

No, it ’s not just fungi. After observing the islands for a while, the pilots found that these islands were covered with bladders with fungus monsters. This is called the fungus bladder. Well, the plague fungus directly Put them on the ground!And there are many fungus monsters that have already awakened. They are gathering at the edge of the island, as if they are preparing for something.

After the first pilot discovered the island, there was a second, and the third pilot discovered the island. Basically, these islands are all west of Fungus Island, and all are circular islands of similar size.

The structure above is exactly the same, there are a lot of 'bacterial bladders', and some fungus monsters that have already awakened.

There are a total of five of these islands, so Lyn calls them ... 'The Five Islands of Plague'.

Except for the "five islands of plague", no islands were seen in the nearby waters. Lynn saw marine arthropods similar to trilobites on the seaside of several of the islands. Obviously they were the nutrients that Lin discovered before. biological.

It turns out that they have transported all their nutrients to these five islands in order to create more fungi. Are they going to fight back?

Indeed, the plague fungus has this idea. The pilot found many large marine arthropods on the beaches of the five plague islands. They can be used as 'transport boats', and the fungus monsters on the island are also going to these 'transport boats.' 'Gather next to it.

Plague fungus ... preparing for a war.

The fungus monsters this time seem not as fragile as Lin had encountered before. Their appearance is not cystic fungus, but like a hardened carapace. There are many large creatures in it, and even Lin has seen many Flying dragon.

Lin can basically be sure that the extinction of the flying dragon was caused by the plague fungus.

The pilot ca n’t get too close to the island, but Lin believes that on one of the five islands, there is an infected highly intelligent creature that is commanding the war ...

At present, the large number of these fungus monsters has only one goal-to fight back against the fungus island occupied by Lynn.

Their troops are quite large. Although the five islands are not as large as the fungus islands combined, because of the previous large-scale self-dissolution, Lin did not get a lot of nutrients. It can be said that there are fewer troops on the island than the plague fungi.

But ... this is really interesting.

It is interesting to observe Tucker ’s development and life, but the war is also very exciting for Lin.

Let them come!Lynn will be ready to show the latest masterpiece to this creature named Plague!Then, just like destroying them, destroy all of them without one cell left!

For Lynn, creation and destruction have the same fun.

The army of fungi is gathering, and Lynn begins to combine her forces.

Lin's bacteriophage occupies many parts of the island. Now, Lin has turned this huge group of 'slimes' into a large number of bases, using the nutrient production troops obtained here, and some of the nutrients are made into large green Carpet trees, Lin wants these trees to grow quickly throughout the island, continually absorbing sunlight energy as a follow-up nutrient supplement.

As for the core combat troops ... what is good?In what way?flame?Claws?A miniature and crazy multi-cell army?

Anyway, it will be interesting ...

In a few days and nights, Lin was quickly using the existing nutrients to manufacture bases and troops. The pilots were also monitoring the movements of the five plague islands. The army of the plague fungus was constantly awakening. Appeared, then climbed to an aquatic creature on the coast and waited for dispatch.

They are indeed strengthened. They are no longer mycelium and cyst-expanded structures as before. They now look like an arthropod-like shell, which should be hardened by fungi. The troops have Among the reptiles and arthropods, there are many large marine creatures. They are used for transportation. They ran into the water as soon as they came out, and then let a large number of land troops ride on their backs.

These transport creatures that take good fungi will swim to gather near one of the islands. These aquatic creatures seem to completely seal the body from water, relying on some hole-like structures on the back to breathe or eat.

The preparation speed of both sides is about the same. As more and more fungi gather at the sea, Lin ’s troops also appear on the west side of the island. On the beach, Lin gathers the troops and has a steady stream of troops. Continue to be produced.

The preparations lasted for about three days and nights. There were no more fungus sacs on the five islands of the plague. They almost all recovered and became part of the plague army.

According to preliminary estimates, their number may be more than one hundred thousand, because the pilots only fly around the periphery, so their actual number should be much more than this.

Lin believes that these creatures should basically be creatures on various islands or nearby seas. As long as these creatures have the habit of landing, they may be controlled by infection.

And the five islands, the fungus island that He Lin now occupies should be the 'base camp' of the plague fungus, otherwise there won't be so many troops, they won't want to retake the island ... or they are not trying to recap , Just think Lin is a huge threat?

After the assembly, all the sea creatures carrying fungi began to line up. They were arranged in a line, and they looked very neat. Some large species acted as forwards, and there were many small species around them, still flying in the air. There are many fungi.

Lin can sneak attack them at sea, but it seems that land warfare is more interesting. Observing the army structure of the fungus monster, Lin found that almost all of them are participating in the war, and there are no remaining troops. The island beach is used for defense, and the other two attack the 'Plague Five Islands' while they are fighting to see if they can find the infected intelligent creature.

Lin thinks that this intelligent creature may be the "brain" after a certain species of division is infected. If you can't find it, the two troops will attack in the back. Anyway, if you solve the army, it is useless to have a brain.

Anyway, it seems that this should be an interesting war ...
