Chapter 279: The Remains in the Box
Three days before the comet fragment fell, the melee between Merial and Lottie ended with both sides losing and Lottie narrowly defeating. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the day of the private fight, in order to prove his ability to many adventitious insects, Meriard attracted the relationship of many onlookers, so that Ping An could not use any moves with manipulator characteristics in front of everyone's eyes by using Merial's visual blind spots, so it should definitely not appear on Lottie.
As a result, Ping'an's injury this time was more serious than she had expected, but such an injury would definitely not cause any obstacle to her taking the White Swan and jumping away from the sixth planet with Zhou Huai'an.
On the surface, he was silent, but deep down, he couldn't help but feel nervous and restless, and in the waiting for his injuries, he ushered in the last day before the comet fell. Subsequently, just when she and Tang Mo thought that this last day would be able to survive unharmed and unharmed, the actual situation once again had an "unplanned" change.
After the destruction of the solar system more than 500 years ago and the flight of more than 200 million survivors, humans have not only used electricity generated by converting matter for hundreds of years, but also used nuclear energy, fossil fuels and other energy sources when necessary.
The used nuclear fission waste has been abandoned by humans in space. And these nuclear wastes, which will continue to release heat for hundreds of years, actually attract heat-type adventitious insects roaming in space, which humans could never have predicted in the first place.
I don't know when the deep-sea adventitious worm that migrated to the sixth planet is such a population that has picked up the nuclear waste abandoned by humans in a box in the universe.
And this population, apparently carrying such a precious source of heat, survived the arduous journey from near one star to another, and eventually took the nuclear waste with it to Planet 6 and even to the bottom of the sea.
The container of nuclear waste that the deep-sea adventitious insect picked up at the beginning was also filled with many human corpses.
According to Ping An and Tang Mo's speculation, these deceased people definitely suffered from radiation sickness and heavy metal poisoning before their deaths, which will inevitably cause the corpses to be difficult to be recycled and disposed of by the organic conversion furnace on the spaceship, so after death, the human compatriots who continue to sail will be helplessly put into a container filled with nuclear waste, and then directly discarded in space.
There have been many times on the Hope that corpses that cannot be recycled and reused, sealed in coffins and then entered the universe through the final journey gate in the funeral area, Ping An naturally knows how harmful these abandoned bodies are.
It's just that she and Tang Mo know these dangers, but it doesn't mean that the indefinite insects also know about it.
The deep-sea adventitious insects that picked up containers in the universe don't care about the human remains mixed with nuclear waste, after all, all they need is the heat emitted by the nuclear waste. However, the half-human adventitious insect is desperately thirsting for the human body.
In addition, judging from the situation of the three adventitious insects that once infiltrated the dilapidated Wind Bride, the adventitious worm that devoured the bones left over from a hundred years ago, as long as it is next to the human body, then even if it is a broken and incomplete corpse, the half-human adventitious worm that is eager to evolve will ingest it into the body without taboo.
Therefore, when faced with the corpses dug up from nuclear waste, the adventitious insects are not taboo in meat and vegetables, and they are about to get into trouble.
The adventitious insects that brought the nuclear waste container to the bottom of the sea, like those deep-sea adventitious insects on the frozen planet, stored the container in a cave on the curved surface of a hemispherical nest pot lid like a captured humanoid mecha.
After the eruption of an undersea volcano, the deep-sea adventitious insects, which are busy breeding their offspring, release a completely insignificant amount of heat compared to the volcano, so they have no useful containers and are left under the seabed, completely ignored. Eventually, the container was found by a half-human adventitious worm.
On the day of the battle against the deep-sea adventitious insects, in addition to the adventitious insects who followed Ping'an, Tang Mo, Tan Wei and Zhou Huai'an, there were also a small number of adventitious insects, which remained in the magma hotbed when the canyon battle began.
The original mission of these adventitious insects left behind by Zhou Huai'an's orders was to completely sweep away the magma hotbed and ensure that no fish escaped hiding under the seabed, and then became the enemy of the half-human population again in the future.
The adventitious insects that swept through the entire magma hotbed and volcanic area ensured that no fish that slipped through the net would escape the slaughter. However, after the mission was completed, an adventitious worm discovered the container under the seabed.
Even if it does not have a human form, the non-humanoid adventitious insect that found the container knows that the container is absolutely impossible to be made by the deep-sea adventitious worm that still lives a primitive life, but can only be an artificial object that they brought to the sixth planet.
The adventitious worm that was on a sweeping mission around the volcano came from two completely different nests, and the adventitious worm of the nest that first discovered the container was bound to be snatched half of the credit for the discovery of the artifact once it made its discovery.
As a result, the nest of indefinite insects, which was unwilling to be robbed, chose to hide and temporarily conceal the existence of this container.
Therefore, when the battle is over and the large army retreats, it is not to say that it is safe, even Zhou Huai'an, as the leader of the population, is completely unaware of the existence of this container.
After returning to the deserted continent, the discoverer of the container decided to gather his companions who belonged to the same nest in the next few days, return to the deep sea again, and quietly bring the container back to the mainland.
If, after opening the box, they find that there is a high-tech artifact in the box, then they will offer the discovery. And if the box is unpacked and there is only pure nuclear waste in it, then they pretend that they never found the container and send it back to the deep sea again.
It doesn't take much intelligence to rely on the cleverness of being a half-human adventitious worm, which is a cut above other ordinary kinds, to complete this series of things, but they don't know that when they open the container, the box will actually contain human corpses that are far more valuable than man-made objects, and they dream of it.
