4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
The 3036th chapter shadow and bug
"Really, these useless idiots are so afraid of ghosts!"
Scorpion-shaped mechas are wandering in the streets of the corpse city ... the shadows floating in the air are everywhere.
However, Lin and Bilu didn't seem to care.
Bilu doesn't care at all, it's also a little scared, but this is just a simple fear of 'ghosts'.
But these shadows seem to have some other ability to fear, plus they seem to be made of tiny substances ...
This reminded Lin of the energy of fear.
But they are not fear energy, Lin thinks it is some kind of creature related to corpse insects.
"What's wrong with you ... Rasu, answer me!"
Suddenly, Lin heard Lien's voice again, and Lin found that it ran into a nearby pyramid-shaped building ...
Moreover, it seems to have encountered other players.
So Lin quickly operated the mech and came to the pyramid building. From the entrance, you could see Lien lying on the ground, and there was another Ershi people beside it.
This Ershmin looks ... dead.
Because there was a big hole in his protective clothing, it seemed to have been pierced by a sharp object, and Ryan cried sadly beside him, as if his nervous state was already abnormal.
Therefore, Lin also left the mechs and walked to them for some careful investigation.
The deceased Ershi was obviously one of the team members. His death was purely because the protective clothing was pierced and exposed himself to the outside environment.
Lin investigated the items she carried with her and found some more interesting ... situations.
The communication device carried by this team member has a system for recording at any time. In general, it is an intelligent diary system that will record things such as its encounters.
This player is recorded here ... its experience of wandering around the city.
There are almost no creatures in the city during the day, but in the night ... there will be many creatures.
These creatures are the "shadows" we see now.
In the diary, the players call them 'worms', not only because they look like ghosts, but because they really seem to be ghosts.
'Ghost ghost' is a ... phenomenon that arises from corpse insects.
Corpse worms live in this city. Occasionally, they will be found in buildings. At night, they will dig a hole in the ground, bury themselves half in the ground, and then ... Will produce this shadow.
The shape of the shadow seems to be related to the surrounding ... corpse architecture.
For example, if the nearby buildings are composed of a large number of corpses, the shape of the shadow will be similar to that of the Ershi people.
But there are occasional buildings here ... from the outside, it looks like they are not piled up by corpses, then the shape of the shadow is uncertain.
This player observed this phenomenon here and recorded it ... and at the same time it made many conjectures.
Its conjecture includes ... shadow is a kind of creature that is symbiotic or parasitic with the carpenter bug, or it may be that some components in the carpenter bug will leave the body at night to form a shadow.
This feeling really resembles a ghost.
But what Lin finds more interesting is that this team member's ... time is going on.
They should have been here for a day and night, but from the record, it has been wandering in the city ... multiple days and nights.
It is also because of this that it can observe the complete changes of corpse insects.
After the day, the shadow will return to the body of the corpse insect, and then the corpse insect will move again.
The corpse worm is completely immobile when the shadow leaves the body, so the Ershi people also thought whether this was the corpse worm ... soul or something.
Generally speaking, after technology develops to a very high level, personality creatures will increasingly distrust the soul.
But after developing to a higher level and contacting some creatures in the void, they will begin to believe ... feel that there is such a possibility.
Of course, it is not that they believe that they have a soul, but it is not strange that other creatures have this energy plus the life form of a substantial body.
Although ... this shadow is not energy.
Lin had previously examined the bodies of the carpenter bugs, but it was not clear that they would create such a wonderful shadow.
In the end, it was attacked by a corpse worm and died.
In the record, it said that the behavior of the corpse worm was very strange, some would not respond even when they were close to observation, and some would attack it at a long distance.
It can be said that the character is unpredictable, and there are still many corpse worms who do not know where to call a large group of corpse attack.
As for those shadows, they are almost non-aggressive.
They usually just float around, and this team member has seen ... The bubbles that keep the air are made by shadows.
It turned out that it seemed to understand a lot.
But how did it spend a few days and nights here ... This is very strange,
Because the cells in its brain are almost completely dead, it is difficult to detect its actual memory.
"How long will you cry here again!" Said Brian, who kicked once and lay beside the player crying.
"I cry? When did I cry!"
Lien suddenly jumped from the ground and yelled, "I'm fine! I'm going ... I'm going to find another teammate!"
After talking about it, he ran out of the building.
Lin felt that her spirit was completely abnormal ... but she was still not sure whether it was the influence of the shadow.
Because from the record, this player has not been affected by wandering in the city for so long.
Then Lin and Bilu also walked out of the building and returned to the mech.
The outside shadows are still floating around, they don't seem to have any purpose, but if you look closely, you can still see some shadows flying in one direction.
What they seem to do ...
So Lin followed them and moved in that direction.
Soon Lin saw that the shadow was gathered under a building, this building ... to be precise a statue.
This is a ten-meter-high statue of Ershine holding his head in pain.
Many shadows floated slowly around it, and Lin also noticed that there were two shadows in the eyes of the statue ...
There are two voids in the statue's eyes, and the two shadows are swirling like a statue's eyes.
Lin feels that although this biological ecology has nothing to do with the Ershi Min, their performance seems to have a great connection with the Ershi Min ...
"Here ... feels bad ..."
Bilu suddenly made some painful sounds on the side.
In fact, Lin felt it ... To be precise, Veronica's head felt it.
