Chapter 275: The Swarm vs. the Alien (1)
After eating, Ling Ping'an patted his bulging belly.
"Cool!"
He stood up and made himself a cup of tea.
By the way, you will eat the leftover shrimp and fish meat and give it to your pet.
He sipped his tea, and Best ate the leftovers.
For a while, it was a joy.
I sat in a chair and rested for about half an hour.
Ling Ping'an got up, went upstairs, and took off the ring watch.
Then, he sat down in a chair, held his phone, and buckled the ring watch.
Click on the family commandor, and you will see a prompt that says 'Virtual Game Device is connected'.
Go to the Dependent Soil interface and click to enter the Dependent Soil.
The screen began to glow, and Ling Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he appeared in the world of the land.
It's still a cloud of green smoke.
This time, Ling Ping'an kept an eye on it, and he specially began to find the eyes of his own character in the land game.
As a result, he saw that countless eyeballs lit up in this smoke-like body.
Every eyeball poked out, as if looking for something.
It's an amazing feeling!
It's a bit like playing with a kaleidoscope when you were a child, and your eyes see through the lenses and see the colorful world.
"Interesting......" Ling Ping'an laughed: "No wonder I can observe everything in 360 degrees without dead ends......
"Feelings, my character, my whole body is full of eyes!"
In the gaming world, such a design is a bit rare.
He didn't think much of it, though.
After all, the brain circuits of dog planning, who knows?
These guys weren't going to let players play the game well.
Floating on this body, Ling Ping looked down on the entire world of the earth.
He saw a mess.
Mountains, grasslands, tidal flats, and swamps all seem to have been plowed by something.
There are potholes everywhere, large and small.
Inexplicably, Ling Ping'an seemed to see some blurry pictures.
Worker ants roam the entire world.
They dig deep into the ground, not sparing a corner.
Everything they could find was dragged out.
In the end, these guys didn't spare even many miniature creatures that were invisible to the naked eye.
Most of the creatures in the world are just insects.
The most advanced ones are only a hundred or so beetles.
As a result, the worker ant colony swept through everything.
They use sharp mouthparts to dig through the turf.
They dig through the soil and even work together to dig out the pits.
All the creatures of the world have fallen under their prey.
Eventually, these horrible guys, in droves, rushed up that mountain.
The heart of this world.
They seem to smell something.
Maddened, he rushed up to the lonely peak.
They came to a crack in the rock.
One by one, they bumped into it.
The swollen, acid-filled bodies of the worker ants burst open.
Extremely corrosive liquids that begin to corrode the cracks in the stone.
After the sacrifice of hundreds of worker ants, they finally opened a passageway, and then, from the crack in the stone, dragged out several bones shining with a certain color.
The worker ants, dragging the bones, returned to the queen.
The queen munched on the bones and what the other workers had brought back.
As a result, a faint halo emerged from the queen's body.
Seeing this, Ling Ping'an thought about it, then twisted his body and flew to the stone crevice where those worker ants had been.
As soon as his thoughts moved, his body floated through the crack in the stone.
After entering, he found that it was actually a tightly knit grotto.
Something similar......
Ancient tombs!
Right!
Because, in this grotto, there are actually two oil lamps that have been burning.
The oil lamps are bright and illuminate the entire grotto.
Unfortunately, most of the contents of this tomb seem to have turned into powder due to some terrible force.
On the ground, there was a thick pile of powdery stuff.
But......
Under the two oil lamps, there was a strange cone-shaped object.
Looks like some kind of ceramic?
The spirit came over in peace.
The thing went up on its own.
It turned out to be a coffin!
Ancient words after ancient words lit up from around the coffin.
Unfortunately, Ling Ping could not recognize these words.
But they should be some kind of inscription.
Probably, it should be the text of the Shang and Zhou dynasties?
"This game company is doing so many tricks...... Ling Ping'an smiled: "It's just to set off the atmosphere!" ”
He was about to be here immediately, but he couldn't help but glance back at the ceramic coffin.
Inside was a rotting corpse.
This skeleton is very interesting.
Because he holds a torch in his left hand and a jade bi in his right hand.
This is the burial ceremony of the nobles in ancient times.
But here's the problem......
Jade is understandable, a gentleman is like jade.
What does torch mean?
Ling Ping'an then raised his head and looked overhead, because he remembered that the ancient nobles were very fond of carving murals of their lives in tombs.
And this burial chamber was not found on the walls.
Sure enough, a magnificent group of murals appeared overhead.
From left to right, it forms a whole.
The first mural is a flame with a figure faintly in the flames.
In the second, the figure looks at a woman.
In the third, the woman appears to be lying on the bed, in great pain.
In the fourth, someone with a knife cuts her chest, and three babies jump out of her left chest and three babies from her right chest.
Next, the mural focuses on the first child jumping out of the woman's right chest.
He was the darling of fire, and as he grew up, the people began to cling to him and worship him.
He built the city, and he led the people to burn exquisite utensils.
Even more with a fire, directly burned out a city.
But......
The war began.
Strangely shaped beasts, huge monsters, and immortals who soar through the clouds and mist, and even the gods who control the laws of heaven and earth, have also joined the war.
Heaven and earth were shattered.
Mountains and rivers are cut off.
The people died in agony.
And the protagonist of the mural also died, dying in this terrible war.
His people, carrying his body, returned to their homeland.
At the end of this series of murals, there is a line of words.
Ling Ping'an recognized these words, these should be ancient official scripts.
"Baishui Mountain, Baishui comes out of Yan, and Baiyuan is born, and Kunwu's master bathes!"
The spirit was at peace.
Because he remembered that this land world seemed to be called Bai Yuan.
The source of this is the reward from the last Nightmare World.
And that nightmare world is called 'Zhang Hong's Country'.
If he remembers correctly, in the ancient "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Zhang Hong's country and Bai Yuan were very close.
So......
"Is this world of the land a fragment of the world of mountains and seas?" Ling Ping'an thought: "This game is very interesting, and it actually uses the Classic of Mountains and Seas as the background......"
"And the owner of this tomb is Kunwu?"
This gave Ling Ping an a little hope.
Compared with fighting monsters, he is more interested in the connotation and culture of the game.
"I'll play with my new book when it's on the shelves......," he said, floating out of the tomb.
After floating out of the tomb, Ling Ping'an looked at the devastated world.
He thought about it, and with a wave of his hand, he mobilized the energy of the Earth World to repair everything.
In an instant, the potholed earth became flat.
Tiny green grass, regrowing.
The burial chamber behind him was resealed.
This has reduced the energy reserves of the world by 0.5 percent.
And his energy reserves now have reached about 25 percent.
So, no stress!
But......
"Where's my ant colony?" Ling Ping looked around.
Didn't find their own colony.
"Where do they go?" Ling Ping'an thought about it, so he searched everywhere, and finally, found the queen ant who was crawling slowly and was only the size of a small rabbit in the creation base.
This queen ant made Ling Ping'an look at it.
Its body has degenerated almost all of its sensory organs.
No head, no tail, and no eyes.
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a small monster crawling slowly under the wriggling of countless gastropods.
Its body surface has a faint halo.
It crawled forward.
Climb very slowly!
Ling Ping sensed that there was a new queen ant in his body......
No, it should be the Mother Queen, who is already in conception.
The sound of the little guy's heartbeat can be clearly felt by Ling Ping'an.
Bang bang bang!
As a result, Ling Ping understood the past and present of the ant colony he had created.
That's a great race.
It is also a group that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Since its birth, each generation of queen ants has tried their best to pass on everything they have to the next generation through genes.
Generations of queens in the land world have been like this.
They discard useless genes and incorporate beneficial genes.
It's slowly becoming what it is now.
The life of this generation of the mother queen is also coming to an end.
But mission made it crawl here.
In order to wait for the arrival of its Creator.
Although it was a game, Ling Ping'an was a little moved.
Who doesn't love sensible guys?
And......
"That's a selling point...... Ling Ping'an said.
So, he floated over, stretched out a part of his smoky body, and lifted the little mother queen.
He seemed to be perceived.
The body of the Mother Emperor began to shake violently.
The little guy in its body is even more excited.
Holding it, Ling Ping'an silently recited: "System, open the trial channel?" ”
A pop-up window appeared in front of him: Do you consume five percent of the energy of the land to open the trial channel?
Ling Ping was confirmed.
So, on the ground in front of him, a portal made of metal was raised.
Circles of light slowly floated up from the portal.
The spirit floated over and looked at the portal.
An introductory text floats up from this portal.
"Extraterrestrial life, underneath the South Pole, built the Pyramid of Death for Trials......"
"Every hundred years, they sneak in and start the trial......"
"Stupid humans, too!"
"This is the best fertilizer on the road to the rise of the swarm!"
"Let the swarm tell the so-called aliens and the monsters they breed who the real hunters are!"
Ling Ping'an looked at it and scratched his head, feeling offended.
Stupid humans?
Am I not?
Well, just the game!
And he understood.
So, he took the mother queen in his hand and gently sent it into the portal.
Layers of halo and begin to rotate.
If you look closely, these halos are actually symbols.
These symbols, very strange.
It is not at all a symbol that the peace of mind recognizes.
However......
But they are very familiar, so familiar that they seem to be numbers like 1234567890, and they are familiar with them as if they are symbols used in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, that is, symbols representing various chemical and physical formulas.
Looking at them, from the most basic ninety-nine multiplication table and the Pythagorean law, it slowly becomes complicated.
All kinds of conjectures, all kinds of theorems, began to appear.
Ling Ping'an felt a little pain in his brain!
So, I closed my eyes.
However, he forgot that in his current state, one eye was closed, and there were countless eyeballs looking around.
These eyeballs, looking at those symbols.
Each one began to wonder.
It seems to be very interesting and seems very interested.
They writhed, turned, and wriggled in an indescribable way in their smoky bodies.
Fortunately, Ling Ping'an didn't know, otherwise he would probably complain again.
When I opened my eyes again, the symbols were gone.
The metal portal looks like a mirror.
It reflects the face of another world.
A blue planet appears in front of you.
Then, the frozen Antarctic continent comes into view.
Wind and snow howled and raged across the continent, and in such bad weather, even penguins were nowhere to be seen.
The perspective continues to cut, and under the thick ice sheet, an ancient pyramid stands in it.
There is a heat source here.
So, the temperature here is in the twenties.
The pyramid that stands under this ice sheet seems to have been waiting for countless years.
A ghostly light suddenly appeared in the clearing behind the pyramid.
The little Mother Queen, squirming, crawled out.
The new queen in its womb has been conceived.
But when it climbed to the clearing, it had no more strength.
The Empress lay down.
Its belly burst open.
A new, fist-sized mother, crawled out of it.
The weak mother looked at her daughter.
Its body slowly softened.
Pheromones begin to be released.
"There can only be one swarm in the world!"
The newborn mother received her mother's last words.
Then he climbed forward, gnawing at his mother's body little by little, not sparing even a little residue.
Then, slowly, it curled up in place.
It begins to secrete a viscous fluid from its surface.
The liquid spreads rapidly, corroding the surrounding moss and soil.
Then......
In these fluid-covered places, follicles bulge one by one.
Bang bang bang!
One after another, swollen bellies about the size of a fist of worker ants hatched.
There are only a few dozen of them.
But as soon as they hatch, they start working.
Moss, soil, ...... nearby
They scoured everything they could find to eat, and then sent back to the Mossy Fields with the Mother Empress.
These things found by them are too low in nutritional value!
So, they set their sights on the pyramid!
Pheromones begin to be delivered.
They can feel that there is food in the pyramid ahead.
But it's dangerous there.
As a result, the mother queen's body began to continue to swell.
The previous generation of Mother Emperor had eaten a large number of Dimensional Stones, which made the current new Mother Emperor have enough energy!
The mossy fields begin to expand.
Countless follicles bulged.
Bang bang bang......
Hundreds of worker ants are hatched.
Ling Ping'an looked at everything on the light screen, his eyes widened.
"That's terrible......"
"Such rapid reproduction and production capacity ......"
"Under the same conditions, I'm afraid there is no species that can compete with these ant colonies......"
But at this point, the perspective suddenly cuts upward.
Through the thick ice cap, through the snow-swept Antarctic, to the low earth orbit, a strange-looking spacecraft quietly appeared.
A weapon-like thing sticks out of the bow of the ship.
Then, shoot a powerful laser out of this thing!
The laser was aimed directly at the pyramid under the ice sheet, burning through the entire ice sheet with a single blow.
Ling Ping'an suddenly shook his head: "Cheating ......"
Aliens driving spaceships?
How does this call his swarm to play?
But the good thing is that these aliens seem to have a problem with their brains.
They just burned through the Antarctic ice sheet with their unbelievably advanced weapons.
Then, a small flying machine was laid down.
The craft carried three strange-looking aliens and flew towards the burned-out ice cap.
Seeing this, Ling Ping'an smiled: "Sure enough, it was something that the dog planned to come up with......"
If you don't use powerful advanced weapons, you have to go to the ground to play hand-to-hand combat.
Aside from dog plotting, is there really such a stupid alien in reality?
