4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2320
"Ah wow wow!"
With a sound like a scream, a head ... strange things rushed towards the scholar.
Because of the situation in front of him, scholars could not help but take a few steps back to stabilize their emotions.
To say, if the previous "sand bones" were like corpses, then this thing was like ... rotting corpses.
It also has six limbs and is more than two meters in length, much larger than the sand bones, and it looks like ... a rotten virtual people.
The whole body was covered with soft material like minced meat, and it was covered with dark red liquid. It ran fast on the ground with its six limbs like hands and legs, and it looked quite ... disgusting.
Even the scholars who are far away on the Stellar bus have a nausea reaction in the stomach.
Fortunately, this thing does not smell of carrion, and the scholar who set the mood raised his hand to aim at the thrashing ...
'boom!'
After the sound, the body of this thing exploded, and it also fell to the ground, and the scholar was relieved.
A glance at the ground ... the rotten corpse, the scholar decided to hold back the disgusting feeling and study what these things are.
After a little testing, the results come out.
This thing is made of the same material as the "sand bone". It has a skeleton of six limbs. The difference from the sand bone is that it is more than twice as large as the sand bone. And the "skin" that covers the whole body is not like the sand bone. Use sand instead of a soft substance like rotten meat.
Of course, it's not really rotten meat, it's just a lot like it, but what role does this rotten meat play? Or not quite clear.
If it is used to scare the virtual people, the effect is very good.
In short, scholars decided to call this kind of stuff "carrion bone" first. "Carrion bone" should be a series of products like sand bone, because the body shape is likely to be responsible for other things, and it has also been mutated like sand bone.
The reason for the mutation is not clear, and scholars think it is likely that the enemy of the dust crocodile did it. They may have controlled the sand bone series of machinery, making them threaten the awakening dust crocodile.
At present, scholars can only think of this possibility ...
Then, the scholar looked to the other side. The situation of the mechanical dust crocodile is much worse than it. The dust crocodile is facing two heads alone ... 'carrion bone'.
However, the dust crocodile obviously had no fear of this kind of thing, and these two could not hurt the dust crocodile. Soon, one of the two was interrupted by the dust crocodile, and the other was pulled. He broke his limbs and couldn't get up on the ground.
Although the dust crocodile is a machine, it does not have any weapons on its body. All of them use the "bare hands" fighting method.
The dust crocodile is accustomed to carrion bones, and did not look at the two who were slapped by it. It greeted the scholar and let the scholar follow him deeper.
This place should be an underground passageway leading to the 'solidified blooming' installation, but to scholars it looks more like a ... ground station.
Advertisement papers, weapons, and empty bottles are scattered all over the ground. Looking at things like canned food, there are also many accessories, clothes and the like.
Scholars believe that there may have been a lot of people here ... the people run away and hide, these are the things they drop.
In addition to this, many things like tables are also poured everywhere ... You can see that the layout here is very similar to the underground stations of the virtual people.
There are train stations everywhere in the world of the Void People. Although scholars have not really read it, when they used to wander the ship, it often looked at the data of its own world and so very ... understood.
However, scholars don't see transportation such as trains here, maybe this is a rest place, not a parking spot.
Here, like other places, no inhabitants can be seen, whether they are dead or alive.
Only ... Carrion bones are everywhere here. They are like sand bones. When they are close to a certain distance, it is about three meters.
Scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles have purposely avoided their range of reaction and quickly walked deep into the passage.
Moving along the dark passage to the depths, there are fewer and fewer scattered things around. Instead, scholars see more and more carrion bones.
It feels like their nest ... here.
It used to be fragmented, but now it is getting denser, it seems that it is not easy to bypass them ...
"Ahhh!" Suddenly, a roar rang out, and a carrion bone next to the scholar rushed over. The scholar immediately raised his hand. With a bang, the high-speed warhead made the carrion bone soft and soft. The outer skin and the inner skeleton penetrated together, and then the carrion bone fell to the ground.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" At the moment when the carrion bone fell to the ground, the scholar heard another cry, and the scholar immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the strange screaming. The bone threw at it.
"Are you awake?" The scholar was startled. It immediately backed away, but found that the dust crocodile was thrown to the ground by a group of carrion bones. The attacking method of these carrion bones was to tear the target's every part. Their bodies were crunched by them, as if they were about to fall apart at any time.
'Boom!'
The scholar quickly aimed at each carrion bone, and the bullet penetrated the spine of each carrion bone. When they fell, the carrion bones that had not been beaten by the scholars then let the crocodile escape to the distance.
These things ... know how to be afraid?Scholars were quite surprised to see this scene. It originally thought that carrion bone and sand bone are the same, but an automatic reaction program drives them to move, so they will only make simple actions such as attacking a proximity object.
But now, scholars feel that their procedures seem to be more complicated than originally thought, at least carrion bones may be more complicated than sand bones.
The free mechanical dust crocodile stood up, and together with the scholar, he saw a group of carrion bones gathered in the distance. They seemed to be ready to attack.
They used to only respond to proximity, but now they have all become united and cooperative. Because they are too many, both dust crocodiles and scholars feel a little ... trouble.
"Explosion." The scholar pointed to the carrion bone group in front. It said a simple word to the dust crocodile. The dust crocodile understood it quickly and said to the scholar: "No."
At the same time, it pointed above.
Scholars looked up and found that the top of the channel was covered with a lot of cracks, and the meaning of the dust crocodile was also obvious, that is, the explosion may cause the collapse here.
But in this case ... Is it necessary to solve the carrion bone one by one?
"Wait." The following words of the dust crocodile kept the scholar close to a hundred seconds during the motionless period. During this period, the scholar found that the carrion bones had not attacked.
They slowly spread out, and then lie on the ground one by one, returning to the state of being motionless before.
"Action." Then, the mechanical dust crocodile took the scholar to act.
Their collective actions seem to be periodic, and they will not move again after a while.
However, they are still very dense. Scholars and dust crocodiles carefully shuttle between a large number of carrion bones and move deeper and deeper into the passage.
Finally, the scholar saw ... the enemy.
It and the dust crocodile first heard the sound of an explosion, so they quickly hid in a nearby ... shop.
There are shops everywhere on both sides of the underground passage, some are restaurants, and some sell other things. When they hide, they see a lot of light outside.
A large group of three-legged columns appeared in the passage.
Each of these three-legged columns is illuminated with the bright light spot as a flashlight, and their way of passing is very ... high-profile, there is no avoidance at all.
Therefore, the three-legged column allowed many carrion bones to pounce up and attack them, but these fluttered carrion bones would be crushed in an instant.
This also means that the three-legged column does not care about the possibility of collapse of this passage.
The scholar counted the number of them. There were twenty three-legged posts. They walked slowly outside the store where the scholar and the dust crocodile were hiding. No one wanted to come in and check.
Why are they here?And seeing how they will fight with carrion bones, it means ... the abnormality of things like carrion bones is not caused by them?
After the tripod was gone, the scholar and the dust crocodile left the shop and continued to walk deep into the passage.
This time it's much easier to walk, because they are walking on the tripod, the carrion bones on the road are all cleared, and only some debris can be seen.
Walking on these carrion bones, scholars and dust crocodiles finally came to where they wanted to go.
In front of them was a ... crossroad, the two sides of the crossroad were open, but the direction of going forward was blocked by a large number of stones.
Dust crocodile means that the direction of the device that is blocked by stones in this direction leads to the "solidified bloom".
This is the only way to get there. It is blocked and there is no way to pass.
Moreover, these stones are said to be gravel but they are very large. Large engineering machinery can only be carried away. The power of the dust crocodile itself cannot be entered.
But the reason why scholars come here is because of the way it is possible to enter, because there are 'mini scholars' of a few centimeters in the body of scholars.
This size may be able to drill through the gaps in the rock.
But scholars do n’t know if they can drill to the end, and it ’s quite dangerous here. There may be a three-legged column. If it just throws the mechanical body here to control the mini-drill, the mechanical body may lose ... Off.
"How, in the past?" The mechanical dust crocodile said to the scholar: "Here, it's impossible, it's hard."
"Should ..." The scholar was planning to say something to the mechanical dust crocodile, but it stopped.
As it saw, a mechanical dust crocodile appeared behind it ... dust crocodile.
