4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1530 The purpose of the fungus
"What is this place?"
The dark environment and the feeling of fear still surround its head. It is an Atlan. Before it received the Mayan mission, it went to the core of the fungal area to observe the situation.
However, when it reached the edge of a fungal jungle, it was caught by a bunch of skeletons.
While its armor was taken off, it believed that its life would be dissipated.
However, it found that it survived, and it was a miracle to directly survive the air filled with bacterial dust in such a place.
However, this miracle may not necessarily be a good thing for it ...
"Woo ..." Atlan was being dragged to move on the ground now, with a lot of 'ropes' tied to it, this thing was made of tough mycelium.
And what dragged it was a group of skeletons, which made a strange cry while dragging it quickly.
There are a lot of mushrooms growing on both sides of it, as well as other strange-shaped fungal structures. All of this means that it is deep in the fungal jungle, and the special thing is that the dust that spreads here does not seem to be infectious.
Although they are in the air, they will not grow because they fall on Atlan.
However, the large amount of dust powder still makes it cough.
'cough!'And when it coughed for the first time, those skeletons stopped suddenly, threw it in place and then ran away.
"Strange?" Because the skeleton loosed its hands, the hyphae on Atlan's body also loosened. It stood up and looked around, and found that there was nothing around it. It was still a dense jungle, and those skeletons didn't know where to go.
"Is it safe?"
For this situation, Atlan felt very strange, but it did not act rashly, but walked carefully in the direction of travel.
It didn't take long for the skeleton to drag it into the jungle, so it felt that it could go out of the way. Those armor that had been taken off should still be placed on the edge of the jungle, as long as the armor was found ...
What is this?
Suddenly, Atlan found that a strange thing appeared on the side of the 'road' where it was dragged. It should have been there when he came before.
This thing is like a hemispherical object, and there is an entrance on the surface, which looks like a small house.
However, its structure is completely similar to the structure of fungal carpets, it is very soft to the touch, and dust and dust fall off.
Although it is very dangerous to stay here for a long time, I do n’t know why, when Atlan saw this fungus cabin, he had an idea to go in and see.
This idea is so strong that it ... involuntarily ... walked into the 'door' of the house.
"There's nothing in it?" After entering the house, Atlan found that it was empty, without any suspicious things, and the emotions it had just dissipated, and then Atlan continued to walk on it. The route dragged over.
"What is going on here?"
It only took a while to find that the road ahead disappeared.
Just now the skeleton has been dragging it down a forest path. This road should logically lead to the edge of the jungle, but now it is gone.
Is it covered by something?
Atlan looked closely at the fungi that grew at the end of the road. They looked no different from the mushrooms around them, and didn't seem to have just grown out.
All in all, it got lost again.
If you walk directly into the jungle now, you might lose your way ... what should you do?
correct.
Atlan suddenly remembered that there was also a communication device in the pocket of his clothes. Although the skeletons had stripped off its armor, they did not take off all their clothes.
Atlan took out this small device, it can locate the armor position from this thing, so that it can ...
And at the moment when Atlan was about to press the device, this thing was 'pop!'A burst of 'broke and spattered to the ground.
"What?" Atlan was suddenly shocked, thinking that the device was hit by something. It quickly looked around, but could not see the creature that attacked it ...
However, the panic made Atlan feel that he could not stay here again. It left the road at his feet and ran into the jungle.
Whether it will get lost or not, Atlan is running wildly in the jungle. It keeps squeezing out those soft fungal structures and has been running ...
The run lasted a long time, and because of a lot of combat training, Atlan was very endurance, so it also ran for a long time ... until it felt exhausted, it stopped.
"Here is ... I'm out?"
Atlan was surprised to find that the jungle in front had not continued to spread. It ran to the edge of the jungle, and the scenery in front of him turned into a broad fungus carpet again, but ... there is no giant umbrella mushroom on this plain.
Moreover, there are many hill-like ups and downs on the carpet. It is obviously not the place where it came in, but another place.
"Where is this ..."
When Atlan was wondering, he suddenly saw a creature in front of him. This creature was a beetle, just above the hill in front.
Atlan subconsciously wanted to touch the weapon on his body, but it remembered that he no longer had a weapon, and then he quickly backed away to go back to the jungle, but the beetle said at this time ... the words.
"You came here, you really came here."
"What?" Atlan was surprised that the four-limbed beetle actually spoke Atlan's language. At this time, the beetle suddenly ran from there to it.
"You must have a lot of problems." The beetle said to Atlan: "In any case, you can participate in our plan, we have a very large operation."
"Action?" At the moment when Atlan's question just came out, there was a "boom" in front of it, and I saw a raised hill explode violently, and in the dust of the explosion, there appeared A huge creature.
"This is ... a monster?"
This creature is about three meters high, the same height as Atlan's normal monsters, not as terrible as the previous 30 meters.
However, it looks very similar to the 30 meters, with mycelium-like structures all over the body, and there are protrusions and lumps formed by fungi everywhere on the body, which is obviously something infected by fungi.
'boom!'At this time, the uplifted hills in other parts of the surrounding area also exploded, and one or more giant monsters appeared in each exploded hill. They shook their bodies and slowly walked toward Atlan.
Atlan wanted to run away, but it found that its legs could not move, not because of fear ... but because its body seemed to feel a refusal to such actions.
"We are making these things." The beetle said to Atlan: "They have made a lot, they are not very useful, but you are very useful."
The beetle said to stretch out his forelimbs, pointing to Atlan ’s head and saying: "They have no thinking, you still have thinking, you can build all kinds of things for us."
"Build ... something?"
Atlan's question was quickly answered, the beetle suddenly spread the wings behind him and flew in front of it, poked its head a little, Atlan felt a picture in his brain.
There is an empty fungal plain in this picture, and in the plain, there is a huge object.
This object is a square ... a mechanically constructed square, which is more than fifty meters high, but a semi-finished product. From the side, various complex metal parts can be seen exposed.
Next to this block, there are a large number of Atlan, they are carrying various metals, and assembled on this block.
"Don't say ... those are Atlan infected because of eating bugs ..."
Seeing this picture, Atlan understood it, and after hearing what Maya said before, it knew what was going on now ...
These fungi infect them with such a purpose.
Because the infected monsters and skeletons have little intelligence, they want to directly control Atlant, who has a complete mind.
So they deliberately release those well-captured beetles to catch them and eat them, and then infect them.
Infected Atlanta will gather involuntarily in this place. The fungus does this to let these Atlantas assemble machinery for them, like that huge cube.
That kind of block is a brain spirit block. Perhaps these fungus beetles found some brain spirit technology in the underground base here, but they will not use it, so they plan to control Atlan to help them build machinery.
Because Atlan still has this technology, but they currently lack materials, and most of the bases are within the scope of the fungal area.
But without this limitation, they should be able to find enough materials to make the aircraft.
Although it seems that the fungus wants to make not a common flying machine, but a smart box.
What purpose do they make this thing?Could it be said ... Do they want to leave this world and infect other worlds?
Atlan had only one idea in his mind.
If fungi go to another world with multicellular organisms, they may make that world the same as here ...
And Atlan also found himself having some problems, starting from the time when he entered the fungus hut involuntarily at first. It seemed to be following the route set by these fungi for him, and finally came to this place.
Although it did not eat those beetles, it felt that it was also controlled.
"You are a sober." The beetle continued to point at Atlan's head: "You are free."
As he said it, he pointed to Atlan's leg: "But not free."
"You can command them with these characteristics," said the beetle. "You will help us construct those things ... so that we can complete the 'mission'."
