4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"Report, we are now in the center of an underground college ..."

Dark and quiet, only the lights on the helmet can illuminate the field of vision in front, this is a deep underground place.

Virtual people ’s colleges are almost all built underground, and cubs can fully enjoy the filtered air and the beautiful environment drawn here to enjoy their college life.

The light here should have been transparent, but it is a thing of the past, and now it is covered with a thick layer of fungus on the ground or on the wall The facility is more like a fungus nest.

A flaming force received an order from the general, saying that fungal creatures appeared in this underground academy, and they had to come to this place in search of their target ...

Now, this team with ten players stopped because they came to the front of a gate that read 'Simulated War Zone'.

The door was already covered with mycelium, but the switch beside the door was still flashing red, which meant that the door was still live.

"There might be something in it ..." The captain turned his head and said to a player: "You, open the door and see."

"Yes!" The team member immediately walked up, then poked a few times at the switch, and the door suddenly made a "click ......" sound, and slowly rose.

'Boom-Dong ...' It took about five seconds for the gate to rise to the top, and a large amount of bacterial dust also fluttered with the gate, causing the team members present to see the environment inside.

However, after the flying dust, you can see the constantly flashing light and shadow.

With doubts, the team slowly entered the door ...

"These ... are they actually on?" After the captain passed through the dust, the first sight of the operating machinery in the control room.

On these machines, the three-dimensional picture is constantly flashing, these are used to operate the simulated war zone.

The simulated combat area is a place for students to conduct combat exercises. They will fight in an empty combat area and opponents simulated by stereoscopic images. The operation room where the team members are now located is responsible for operating various things in the combat area. .

"The power system in this city has been shut down for a long time ..." The captain looked at the operation screen and said, "Why is it still open here?"

'Beep beep!'Another team member poked a few times on the stereoscopic picture: "The record can be seen here ... The standby power is turned on, and it was turned on when the general ordered the entire city to be burnt."

"Maybe some civilians are hiding here and driving ..." The captain looked at the screen and said: "But why did the" simulated combat "facility only start after the backup power was activated?"

"I don't know ..." The team member said: "The windows and the surveillance lens in the combat area are covered with mycelium, and I can't see it now ... But according to the report, it seems that the fungi have intelligence, which may be They ... got it. "

"I can hardly believe that this kind of thing has intelligence, but ..." The captain said: "We should go to the combat area to see ... The two of you stay here to continue the investigation."

"understood!"

After leaving two team members, the captain and other team members walked to the center of the operation room, where there was a cylindrical elevator leading to the combat area.

The elevator is just like other machinery in the operation room, and it seems to be completely okay, so these few virtual people walked into the elevator. With the sound of the elevator starting, they slowly approached the battle area ...

"Come on, be careful ..."

The elevator stopped, the elevator door was completely closed and could not see the outside. The captain glanced at the alert players, and he reached out and pressed the button to open the door.

'Click——'

The elevator doors opened, and a white area appeared in front of them. This place ... was also covered with a lot of fungus carpets.

There are many kinds of obstacles, bunkers and other things in the combat area. Now they are all covered with mycelium, and some mushrooms as high as three meters stand between the obstacles.

"There are no such things in the operating room, but there are many here ..." The captain said: "You must investigate carefully ..."

Looking at this weird environment, the captain walked out of the elevator with the player's door.

"Woo!"

At the moment of getting out of the elevator door, a huge creature with fangs and fangs rushed over, and the players were startled. When the weapon in their hand was just raised, this creature Passed through them.

"That's a stereoscopic image!" The captain immediately said to the communicator in the helmet: "What is it doing? Why is there such an image appearing here?"

"I don't know!" The voice of the virtual people in the operating room came from the communicator: "We didn't move anything!"

"... Forget it, be careful ... Ah!"

The captain's words just fell, and a creature appeared in front of him again, but because of the previous experience, the players this time seemed a lot calmer.

However, the frequency of occurrence this time seems to have become much higher. After the creature just disappeared for a few seconds, several three-dimensional creatures appeared in the distance.

These creatures didn't immediately rush, but instead they hit themselves on the spot. These three-dimensional images will pass through when they touch real objects, but when they touch each other, they will collide like real creatures.

"These ... are the recently popular 'Ancient Beast Showdown'?" A team member looked at the fighting creatures. "This is more like a game than a simulated battle."

"I have also heard that this is to let students feel the environment of other creatures before, but in fact it is to shoot those creatures to play."

"Whatever is good," the captain said. "What I care about is why this big duel program is started here."

As he said, this team was advancing slowly, and more and more creatures appeared around them. Most of them were playing against each other, and some were going to the team. Most of them were previously extinct carnivorous creatures. There are also some huge creatures, but these images are still quite different from the real thing, and they will not be affected after getting used to them.

After a while, the team almost checked the entire battle site. They found that there was nothing special except for the fact that the program was still running. This is just an ordinary place covered by fungus.

"Captain!" Suddenly, the voice of a team member in the operating room rang out: "We just found out that this big duel program has been running for a long time ... and is now preparing to change the venue!"

"What?" The captain exclaimed, "Hurry up to the safety platform!"

The team members immediately ran to the center of the battle zone. The safety platform was a platform located in the center area that could safely watch the changing field. After they ran up, a rumbling sound came from the entire battle zone.

I saw the surrounding images disappeared, and those obstacles and bunkers also slowly retracted into the ground, and then the whole venue suddenly split into two, and slowly receded to both sides.

When the old field recedes, the new field will rise from below, and the combat zone will be converted in this way.

"this is……"

After the old field retreated to both sides, the captain and his team members saw the new field below. This field has no obstacles, but it has a lot of fungi, and ...

Fungal creatures under construction.

"they……"

The captain saw that there were many creatures lying on the mycelium carpet on the ground, and these creatures ... there were a lot of empty people.

A large number of corpses of the virtual people are on the fungus carpet, many of them have been cut in half, and there are other creatures among the bodies of these virtual people.

These creatures ... are the animals in the previous image battle. Their bodies are almost half or unfinished. There are a lot of hyphae linked to the corpse of the virtual people around them. Shaking, as if conveying something ...

These animals are very large, but the largest one is located in the east of the area.

Its body has a length of nearly thirty meters. This is a creature called "Mons Beast". Because of its large size, it occupies a large area. It is also one of the unfinished products. It can be seen in its open chest There are a lot of ribs protruding, and a lot of mycelium is connected to these ribs, and the other side of the mycelium extends to the surrounding corpses of the virtual people ...

"They ... said ..."

The captain looked at the scene, and he said an unbelievable sentence: "Do they use our corpses ... to make these animals? The previous images ... Was it opened to understand these animals?"

"How is this impossible ... Captain, how could they do this?" A member said incredulously.

"Then what do you say about these animals? Is it impossible to dig them out of the ground? They are recovering the previously extinct creatures! Use our corpses!" The captain said: "Hurry up and put the bombs, we will blow up here Nothing, everything here ... ah! "

The captain was startled and stopped talking, because the 'Mons Beast' on the ground in front of him suddenly shook.

The body of the semi-finished product is added with a large number of weird fungus structures. The eyeless hole under the huge head is staring ahead. This creature looks like a mended body, but it is shaking. Standing in front of these empty people.
