This is the kind of hedron that Andu uses in the border towns to nurture chips, which can shelter the chips without bodies and provide the necessary energy for the chips that are about to be upgraded.

During the time when Fang Yue absconded with the Void, he had obtained three pieces in the process of interstellar jumping, one of which was used to upgrade the Void, one was taken by him to return favors, and the last one was placed in the laboratory, and he disappeared inexplicably at some point.

And now, the earth actually has this kind of power stone.

"Andu, is there all this kind of spar at the bottom of the lake?" Fang Yue looked at An Du and asked, he had now passed that excitement point, and finally calmed down a little.

"Yes." Andu nodded.

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." Fang Yue sighed with satisfaction, and then returned the spar to An Du.

"Put it away, it's useful." Fang Yue reluctantly touched the stone and threw it back to Andu.

An Du took it, put the spar in his pocket, and turned away. He wanted to throw the hedron into his backpack, but unfortunately his backpack was put in a border town, including his dissociation knife, and he didn't know if he could find his things back after this catastrophe.

They still have to go north in the end, because Fang Yue first has to find the chip of the desolation, and Andu wants to go to the imperial capital to see if those human beings have survived.

But before that, Andu took a detour to the town where he had placed the chip, and he wanted to get his dissociation knife back. Anyway, there would be no danger if they couldn't find an illusory chip, and Fang Yue followed behind An Du.

They went all the way west from the original location of Qiongzhou, and the scenery and landscapes they passed along the way, the strange beasts they encountered and the night of horror made him finally understand what the earth had become.

To put it simply, the Earth has become a barren planet.

Because of the meteorite impact, the surface of the earth has undergone tremendous changes, and the original mountains have been flattened, and only half of the meteorite pillars of different shapes are exposed, pointing to the sky with teeth and claws.

The original landmark was completely destroyed, and Andu made two wrong moves, and Kankan was back on the right track.

"Even the Gold Devouring Beasts have been stationed in......" Fang Yue was wrapped in layers of inky blue particles, and in the night, under the blood-red sunset, patches of Gold Devouring Beasts came out of the cracks in the stones, and they lay on the rocks without any scruples, devouring the delicious dinner.

"The Gold Eater only eats metal, could it be that the elements on the earth have changed, even the composition of the surface rocks has changed?" Fang Yue's mechanical eyes clicked and turned, if it weren't for the Gold Devouring Beast that would have eaten his skeleton as food, he would have rushed out by now.

After the Gold Eater has devoured the ore, the useless parts will be excreted as feces, and the metal in the body will be secreted into a sweat-like substance on the surface of the skin, and when the metal condenses into pieces, the Gold Eater will find a place to rub them off.

The better the metal composition of the ore they devoured, the more beautiful their fur would be, although Fang Yue never understood what benefits they could get from devouring ore so frantically except for that skin.

The Gold Eaters soon swept across the area, like a giant moving multicolored blanket, changing colors across the desolate earth, and the cratered surface of the earth was flat.

"What a magical guy......" Fang Yue, who couldn't get a response from Andu, muttered to himself.

It wasn't until the Gold Eater swept towards the east that Andu came out of his hiding place, and he crouched down to look at the ore that had been devoured by the Gold Eater.

For a moment, he stretched out his finger and touched it.

The elemental composition of the rock was quickly analyzed and presented in his consciousness - it turned out to be a rare mineral!

An Du suddenly turned his head to stare at Fang Yue, when his extremely dark eyes were staring at people motionlessly, it would always make people think that he was actually an artificial machine without life.

"What are you staring at me for?" Fang Yue took a step back, a little inexplicable.

Andu just tilted his head, then stood up and continued walking. He just wanted to say that all of Fang Yue's assumptions were becoming reality step by step, and he was really a crazy and whimsical scientist.

What has to be admired is that his speculations are correct.

And the most correct decision I have made in this matter is probably to agree with this mad scientist's point of view.

Because of the Gold Devouring Beast, almost all the huge stones along the way were gnawed by them, and Andu had to move a few pure stones that were probably not material, and built a simple dwelling.

After it was completely dark, Fang Yue slept inside, An Du leaned against the rocks and stared at the glowing planet overhead, he pillowed his crossed hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Andu, has there been any special changes in your body?" In the middle of the night, when he vaguely heard the roar of the beast in the distant distance, Fang Yue suddenly asked.

"Huh?" An Du heard a small sound, probably Fang Yue was turning over, although it didn't mean anything to the mechanical body......

"It's been ten days since we've been here, and you haven't eaten anything except to see you drinking water." Fang Yue's voice sounded extremely calm, as if he had been observing him for a long time.

“…… No, you don't. An Du heard Fang Yue's question, and it took him half a day to arrive. Probably hearing that he didn't want to talk, Fang Yue's side was also silent.

In fact, there is indeed something wrong with his body, since the fusion of Ninety-Nine's chip and him, he has been able to enter his world freely.

It's not about entering his sea of consciousness, it's about his master control system. Guiyi closed itself after falling into a deep sleep, but because of the fusion of chips, Guiyi made Andu an "agent" of the main brain system.

As long as Andu is willing, then the surviving agents on this planet can be used by him. Of course, this comes at a cost.

The detachable mechanical arm in Andu's left hand, I don't know when, actually grew with the body.

Both the mechanical arm and the connected body parts are transitioning into a non-human, non-mechanical middle ground. The most obvious manifestation of this change is the increasing sensitivity of perception. Sense, is the attraction of food to Andu.

He automatically ignored ordinary human food, but a deep thirst grew in his body. When you hold the energy crystal, when you see the metal on the Gold Devouring Beast, when you sense the high-level interstellar beast in the distance.

But Andu restrained himself.

This feeling was accumulating day by day, and he could sense that his body would not last long—from the moment he decided to accept Fang Yue's advice and foster Jiujiu's chip, he was destined to be farther and farther away from the human species.

Foster his chips and embrace everything about him, including that deep attachment to food.

Abandoning the body that belongs to human beings and becoming a non-human and non-material existence, just to have a glimmer of life in oneness.

An Du closed his eyes and suppressed the anxiety that he was suffering all the time, what he was bearing now, Jiujiu had been silently enduring for more than ten years.

After the influence of the chip he got used to being unified on him, it was time for him to look for the time, and at that time, he could calmly judge what energy his body needed.

Nothing was said all night.

In the dark night, in the border town not far from them, in the underground defense room where Andu contains chips, a mecha suddenly opened its eyes, sensing that he sent a distress signal from the same kind.

In the chest cavity of the mecha, Ling Fei was curled up and lying inside, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
