Chapter 515 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Fifty Nine: The End of the Mushroom City
Chapter 515 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Fifty-Nine: The End of Fungus City
The fire flooded the entire city like a tsunami, and the extremely fragile-looking moss-like strains attached to the branches and roots of plants were submerged in the fire and turned into fly ash in the blink of an eye.
As a weak carbon-based organism, fire is lethal to strain spores.
Chen Yan's "feet", where the door frame of the crack is located, has not yet been covered by the fire.
What surprised Chen Yan was that the location of the [door frame] was actually in the center of a building that looked very much like an "altar".
He "raised" his field of view and saw that the entire altar was in an irregular ring shape. The entire altar was outlined by countless low circular "gullies". The ravines were filled with emerald-green strains. Those strains were not stagnant in the gullies.
Instead, it keeps moving in the ravine.
The strains in dozens of circular ravines are constantly moving, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Their movement seems to provide energy to the entire altar, maintaining the stability of the [Fift].
The next moment he saw this scene, Chen Yan suddenly realized:
'This altar maintains the operation of [the rift], and it serves the same purpose as the power supply device in the laboratory of the University of Michigan Research Institute.'
There were some guys who looked like researchers or clergy lying around the altar. They had lost their lives due to the war and fell into the altar. They were ground into pieces by the circular ravine on the altar like a meat grinder and became the altar.
a part of.
Chen Yan noticed an incredible phenomenon:
‘The University of Meteorological Research Laboratory has started experiments on the [rift], and the natural disaster world has also used altars to stabilize the [rift] as the portal. Did both sides start at the same time?'
'This is too much of a coincidence... The zombie boy with the stainless steel rice bowl on his head said before that the experiment on the plastic dolls of [Liao Jiaxian] failed, and a [crack] leading to other worlds will
Appearing in every corner of the city and outside from time to time...' (Chapter 498)
'According to the previous situation, when the director was conducting experiments on [the rift], at the same time, on the side of the natural disaster world, a certain force named [Liujiaxian] was also conducting something that would open [the rift].
Experiments with cracks.'
Chen Yan came to an incredible conclusion:
‘That is to say, the [rift] on the Mida laboratory side and the [rift] on the disaster world side are probably opened at the same time, so it is possible to travel between the two worlds through the [rift]!’
'But...how is it possible? How could such a coincidence happen?'
Due to confusion in his mind, he began to think wildly:
'Perhaps... given the infinite size of the universe, this coincidence [that the same rift will be opened by different life forms at the same time] is indeed possible.'
He looked towards where the [rift] was.
Chen Changsheng and the others hadn't come over yet, but Chen Yan had already passed through the [rift] and saw the fire on the other side of the [rift] and the black shadow in the fire.
'That dark shadow is Daxor.'
'Chen Changsheng and his classmates haven't come here yet, they are probably passing through the [Wilderness].'
‘Then, my previous guess is true, the correct order of passing through the [rift] is indeed: [World 1] → [Wildness] → [World 2].’
‘It’s just that just from the location where [the rift] exists, you can’t see the existence of [the wilderness].
Only after entering the [rift] can you see the wilderness equivalent to the 'passage'.'
At this point, Chen Yan's understanding of the relationship between [The Fissure] and [The Wilderness] finally became clear.
At this time, the strains in the ravine above the altar had already felt the temperature of the flames. Those small and inconspicuous things turned black and hardened in just a few minutes, as if they had become some kind of incombustible garbage.
The entire altar seemed to be surrounded by dozens of black rings, and the whole altar exuded an inexplicable evil aura.
Chen Yan looked at the changes in the bacterial strain community. Suddenly, he "feeled" that the strain had changed into something else completely, as if something had happened...
Mutations?
It is a mutation to adapt to the fire, an extremely rapid adaptive mutation!
Chen Yan had already witnessed this mutation in the underground mining area before, but now that he witnessed it again, he still felt shocked.
A soldier in protective clothing who was fighting with a strange snake was knocked away by the monster snake's tail and hit hard on the bacterial strain in the altar. The protective clothing was instantly torn open by the seemingly inconspicuous bacterial strain. It had turned black and hardened.
The strain "softened" at this moment and entered the warrior's body along the blood flow.
A scream was heard, and the soldier had become food for the strain.
The flesh and blood in the protective suit was eaten away, and the eaten strains turned into bright blood. These strains entered the altar along the ravine, dyeing a small part of the circular altar red.
'They will become food for the strain...these warriors wearing protective clothing must not be people from the strain.'
‘It’s really strange, Chen Changsheng and the others came here twenty years ago.
Why did the zombie boy say it happened [three years ago]?’ (Chapter 499)
'This time is obviously out of order and completely inconsistent.'
When reasoning encountered an unsolvable problem, Chen Yan could only turn his gaze to the distance.
In the fire, the huge strange snake gained the upper hand in the battle with the plastic soldiers and protective clothing soldiers. There were more and more corpses in the field of vision. Most of them were burned dry by the fire, and a small part of their flesh was eaten away by the bacterial strain.
Those strains that turned into bright blood after eating blood were crawling on the ground, struggling to avoid the fire and moving towards the altar.
'The zombie boy said that the plastic soldiers of [Liaojiaxian] were conducting experiments here. This experiment is obviously this altar, and...'
Chen Yan looked at the strains surrounding the altar again.
‘The sacrifices on this altar should be these strains.’
'But now the situation has completely gotten out of control, the war has begun, the altar is left unattended, and the strains have regained their freedom.'
‘Plastic warriors are able to restrain strains due to their special bodies and the ability to not be infected.
Although the brute force of the strange snake is strong, the strain is highly infectious, so the strange snake is restrained by the strain.
The strain was restrained by the Plastic Warriors because of their technology.’
'This balance was broken, and the war began...'
'But what about Chen Changsheng and the others? Why haven't they come here yet? Is the road in [the wilderness] very long?'
While Chen Yan was thinking wildly, something unexpected happened in front of him:
After the bacterial strain in the circular ravine of the altar had eaten enough, the entire altar was dyed red with blood, as if it had turned into a flesh and blood millstone - the bacterial strain mutated again after eating.
They began to advance outside the altar, so the "gully" was "opened up" to the periphery of the altar.
Circle after circle of circular areas covered a wider area, and more corpses were accommodated in the area where the altar was located, becoming new nutrients in the altar - snake corpses, human corpses, plastics, steel, electronic components...
The altar swallows everything within the coverage area and digests them all...
It wasn't until a moment later that the altar stopped expanding, and a ferocious circular "eyeball" appeared on the surface of the city of mountains.
