4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 1220 Within Metal
"Explore a piece of empty metal trash ... I didn't write this on my contract."
"But the contract says that you must obey the command of the chief, and there is indeed something hidden here to improve your security."
Here is a dark tunnel. The entrance of the tunnel is on the surface of a huge metal mass with a diameter of several kilometers.
This piece of metal is condensed together by countless metals, so there are many gaps on the surface, and some of the gaps are large enough for the virtual people to get in.
Therefore, the leader of the exploration force decided to drill down into these places to explore, so it stopped the aircraft nearby and formed a team of five people to explore.
What does it think there is ...
However, this is obviously a very dangerous move, so the other players seem unhappy.
The spy is also one of the participants in this exploration. The spy had previously joined this virtual civilian force as an operator, and now he has joined the captain's exploration tour.
The operation screen of the armor helmet allows the spy to see the surrounding environment clearly, plus the thermal insulation function, Lin's spy can move in the void without any special modification.
The spy is now at the end of the team, so Lin has been watching the surrounding environment.
There are broken metal blocks all around, they have all kinds of shapes, but they can't see the structure of what they were originally, and there will be no complete objects here.
However, this tunnel is still quite spacious, with a width of more than ten meters. Although there is no difference between upper and lower, the metal blocks and gaps protruding from the wall of the cave can allow the virtual people to easily grasp them and move.
'Beep!'Suddenly, the spy's helmet rang, which was a reminder that something strange came into view.
"Here ... there is water!" And other members of the Void People around saw it ...
"Water? Impossible!"
All the Void People immediately climbed to the place where the "water" was found. I saw a pile of protruding metal blocks forming a circle about three meters in diameter on the cave wall not far in front.
And in the circle, there is a liquid substance like water, but ...
"This is obviously not water." Climbing to the circle, the captain looked at the liquid in the circle. "This should be a substance that can maintain liquidity in a low temperature environment. We should collect some samples."
A Xumin said beside him: "This ... Captain, we are not here for scientific research, we are here to find if there are any traces of alien creatures ..."
"Of course I know!" Said the captain. "But anything has research value, in case it is a very rare substance ... this is ..."
The captain's words were suddenly interrupted, because every virtual person saw that the liquid in the circle suddenly moved, and it seemed like a whole.
"It moved?" "Is it alive?"
Just as the virtual people made a sound of surprise, the liquid made a move that made them more surprised. The surface of the liquid suddenly began to peel off slowly, turning into objects like water droplets, and in the air. Slowly floating.
"What ... what is this?"
A large number of 'water droplets' are constantly floating on the surface of the whole liquid. These things are only a few centimeters in size, but the number is very large. They spread like raindrops in the whole space. In front of the scene, there was a virtual person who couldn't help but reach out and poked a floating drop of water.
The poked water drop shook and collided with another water drop to become a larger water drop.
"They fit together!"
These virtual people screamed like cubs, but Lin also thought these things were wonderful.
These water droplets floating in the air will merge together if they collide with each other, and if they are too large, they will be dispersed again into a large number of small water droplets. With this process, they quickly spread to a wide range.
"These things ... are alive!" Watching their movements, a dummy said: "Look at them merging and then splitting, and they will run around by themselves!"
"How could this thing be alive? It must be a natural substance." "There is no sky here." "In short, this kind of thing can't be alive. How can there be such a creature? They must not even be organic. "But haven't we caught a lot of metal creatures? Left in the war."
Several people here seem to argue about whether these liquids are alive, but the most fanatical about this phenomenon is ... Captain.
"Captain, what are you doing?" Several vain people in dispute found that the captain was holding a small bottle and was loading those floating liquids into it.
"I'll take it back to investigate what this is." In addition to filling the bottle, the captain pressed the "photography" on the helmet. After taking a lot of photos of the liquid mass and the water droplets floating around, he was satisfied.
Lin feels that this captain usually likes to study various things, just like a scholar ...
............ On the pompom on the other side.
"Suddenly feeling cold, is it an illusion? No matter, this may be the place where the legendary skeletal dragon first established their homes. Did the original leader, Tucker, die here?"
Under a tall tree, scholars are standing under the tree, looking at the complex plants overgrown on the ground, while also staring at the map on the imaging device in their hands.
"Although I want to dig to see if the skeleton is still there, I still don't do it. Then let's go to the next place." Then, the scholar got on the wooden aircraft next to him and pulled up the joystick to fly Into the air ...
.................. Return to the metal mass in the void.
After meeting the strange liquid, the expeditionary team of the Void People continued to move deep into the metal mass.
"Captain, how deep do we have to go? Oxygen may not be enough." A virtual person suggested to the captain who had been moving forward, and the spy saw that the oxygen shown in the helmet's picture was only 30. %about.
Void people have an armor that can synthesize oxygen, but they often use the oxygen reserve type, just like this one.
"Continue to explore for a while, there is spare oxygen." The captain insisted to go deeper.
I have been walking here for a long time, and there is nothing special except the metal blocks, but this tunnel does give people a feeling of digging out something.
And Lin was more concerned about the previous liquid, as if the virtual people said that the liquid is alive.
Because, there are a few drops of liquid sticking to the shoulder armor of the spy armor. These liquids are now slowly moving on the shoulder armor.
Like amoeba, they may be here ... the creature that originally lived?If you have a chance, you really should study it.
"There is movement!"
The captain in front suddenly shouted, and all the virtual people stopped.
I saw a lot of the same liquid as before in the channel in front.
These liquids are relatively small, about one meter in diameter, and they are slowly moving against the metal wall.
"These things are alive!" The virtual man called out just now, and the captain said, "Hurry up and grab one, we will study them!"
"Captain, I said we are not here ... ahhhhhhhh!"
A burst of liquid suddenly jumped on the helmet of a Void Man. It quickly expanded and quickly wrapped the entire head of the Void Man inside.
"Ah! Get it down! It's corroding my helmet!"
The virtual man grasped the liquid sticking to his head hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it off.
"Try this!" The captain immediately reached out and touched the liquid. The liquid suddenly shivered like a convulsion, and then it suddenly dispersed into a large number of small drops of water with a snapping sound. On the cave wall.
"Aren't you injured?" The captain asked the shrouded man.
"It seems okay ..." said the Xumin: "No holes or the like have been corroded, Captain, how did you do it just now?"
"These things must be very afraid of heat, just use the warming function of the armor." The captain lifted his hand, and the red on the armor appeared to be heated.
"It turns out that there is such a function?" Said one Xumin: "I don't even know."
"Yeah, the description page of the armor is too long ..." Another virtual citizen said: "There is no way to write it down."
"Regardless of this, in short, those things seem very dangerous ..." The captain looked at the front of the channel, and there were still a few balls of liquid moving slowly there, but they did not pounce like the previous one.
"Yeah, Captain, let's go back." Another Xumin said: "Let's use other ways to explore, or find some more people ... ahhhhhhh!"
The wall of the cave next to this virtual man suddenly moved. A large number of metal blocks wrapped it in an instant, and then quickly retracted back, and the metal of the cave wall returned to its original state.
"It ... was eaten by those metals?"
Several Xumin people watched this scene in astonishment, and the captain with the quickest response immediately said, "Run! Run a few of you!"
"Ah!" Xumin screamed and hurriedly grabbed the wall in the direction of the movement, but then the metal on the wall moved again, and instantly grabbed a Xumin and wrapped it into the wall.
"Do not--!!"
At the same time, the other two empties were also surrounded by walls. They were pulled in instantly, and now only the spy and the captain were climbing.
"Ah!" At this moment, the captain crawling behind the spy was also caught. At the same time, the spy also felt something caught in the leg. A large amount of metal on the ground surged and wrapped the spy in In the darkness ...
