Chapter 759: Exploring the X5 Community
Chapter 759 to X5 Community Exploration
After not seeing each other for many days, Sophia's performance was extraordinarily clingy. Lin Zaishan spent a long time talking to send her away, and then immediately put into work.
He couldn't find any clues in the satellite surveillance signals, so he decided to start with the sample analysis of the star soul and body of the intelligent plant. In a few hours, more than 100 cases were analyzed, and a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of these violent lives on the Australian continent was obtained.
The pioneers of these intelligent plants landed on Earth with meteorites, and they were able to thrive in the most cruel, harsh, and dangerous ecological environments. The heat, radiation, dust and toxins that are deadly to humans are nutrients and stimulants for these smart plants.
They took root before humanity was able to emerge from the shock caused by the meteorite explosion, and began to take shape at the beginning of the last days. In the unique ecosystem of the Australian continent, human power has declined, and other organisms (including various mutated organisms) have not even had a chance to reproduce, so they have been wiped out by these intelligent plants.
After entering the deep apocalypse, they have swept through Australia and become the absolute hegemon of this continent, and it is difficult for not only surface creatures, but also birds in the air to gain a foothold in their powerful sphere of influence.
Zhang Sanheng asked, "Boss, the combat power of these plants is no less than that of insects, and they are all very violent. Are we going to kill them in pieces like bugs? ”
Lin Zaishan shook his head, "These plants are essentially different from insects. The insect's star soul contains the code to exterminate other creatures on the earth, and it can be said that attacking and exterminating humans is the basic mission of the insect's existence. But sapient plants are different in that they don't have a code in their star souls that are hostile to humans; Not only that, but many of their settings, such as their ability and nature to remove radiation, toxins, and maintain proper temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels, are beneficial factors for humans. ”
"You mean to say that these plants are beneficial organisms?"
"At least it's harmless without stepping foot in their territory." Lin Zaishan continued: "Do you know why the environmental pollution caused by the meteorite explosion disappeared in just a few days? ”
"Is it because of these plants?"
"Not bad! I extracted memories from the star spirits of some of the older plants, and I can see how they worked tirelessly to absorb radiation, dust, and toxins after the meteorite explosion, as well as to purify the atmosphere and regulate the concentration of vitality. I can say that if bugs are biological weapons used to test and even destroy humans in the last days, then these intelligent plants are the safeguard force for maintaining the ecology of the earth in the last days and thus ensuring that humans have access to the basic evolutionary environment. ”
"So, we can't get rid of these plants?"
"Yes. However, just because you can't destroy it doesn't mean you can't crack down. We still have to act decisively when it's time to strike, and if we are afraid of them, they will no longer attack humans easily. ”
Lin Zaishan immediately sent information such as the various characteristics and weaknesses of the intelligent plants found in the analysis just now to all the team members.
Zhang Sanheng suggested, "Boss, I have an idea to quickly get useful information from these plants. ”
"Hurry up!"
"Don't these plants only identify with classes? Can we disguise ourselves or transform into one of the plants and infiltrate them to steal information? ”
"Ha, great idea. I was also constrained by the mindset of only treating plants as non-reactive objects, and I didn't even think of such a shortcut. ”
Lin Zaishan immediately recoded the star souls of hundreds of intelligent plants he had harvested, and then spread them to all corners with the help of spatial leapfrogging abilities.
Soon a large amount of "inside intelligence" rolled in. Most of the information is about power struggles between these plant communities. It turns out that the intelligent plants are not monolithic, they are roughly divided into 5 communities: X1, X2, X3, and X4 communities occupy 4 areas in the southeast and northwest of the Australian continent, respectively, and X5 is in the middle.
Fighting the Midtown forces is the northern community X1, which is currently undergoing a "national mobilization" and calling for help from the other communities to prepare a corpse to destroy the invading Midtown forces. The members of the community are at a time when the group is passionate, "sad and angry", and the fighting spirit is high; Of course, there are also many members who participated, witnessed, and even suffered head-on blows from Midtown's powerful forces, and were afraid.
Among the five major plant communities, the X5 community, which occupies the center, is the most mysterious, and it has not interacted with other communities for a long time. It is rumored in the jungle that the X5 community has been controlled by aliens, compromised with aliens, and is even being modified by aliens, and may have mutated. The four major communities in the southeast, northwest, and northwest were originally planning to raise a division against the central group, but they were temporarily interrupted by the arrival of the forces of Zhongcheng.
Of all the information, Lin Zaishan was most interested in this X5 community. After further investigation, he became increasingly convinced that the Australian human survivors might be hiding in the X5 community.
He immediately inquired about the location of each search team, and then assigned the nearest Feifeng team to go to the air to reconnoitre.
//////
Soon, the Feifeng team called.
"Mr. Lim, I am currently in the middle of the jungle in Australia. I feel that the plants here are different from other places. ”
"Bring in real-time observations. Tell me, what do you think is different? ”
"First of all, there is an isolation zone composed of special plants with a width of nearly 100 kilometers here, and the appearance of the plants in this isolation zone is exactly the same as that of other jungle species, and it is difficult for satellites in space to distinguish them, but none of them have a level star soul."
"Oh? Probably a territorial sign. You go on to say. ”
"The second thing that stands out is that the intelligent plants in the middle area look dense from the air, but we can't detect any information about the presence of powerful creatures, and it's like a dead desert below."
"Are they lurking?"
"It's too far from the ground for me to judge."
"Did you observe any man-made electromagnetic signals?"
"Scanning ......" Feifeng suddenly replied after a moment: "Found a man-made electromagnetic signal, Lin Fuzi has automatically compiled it." The result is as follows: 'I am Lin Zaishan, all personnel must not approach the X5 community area!' Feifeng exclaimed, "Mr. Lin, how can this be?" Is it the electromagnetic signal you emitted? ”
"I've never sent this signal." Lin Zaishan was also quite surprised, "Who actually sent such a warning in my name?" Could it be that someone already knew I was coming and warned me? No, even if you want to warn, you don't need to use my name. Is it a prank? ”
Among the powerhouses that haunt Australia are the Star Soul Shepherd and the Witch Landa, and perhaps the Fire Thief and the Last Flying Feather have also visited. It seems possible that all of the above characters may have malicious intentions towards Lin Zaishan, but it is hard to imagine that they will pretend to be Lin Zaishan to warn him and the others.
"Mr. Lin, do you need me to come close to investigate?"
"You withdraw first, and I will go myself." Although Lin Zaishan was thousands of miles away, he was already vaguely aware of a dangerous aura. If there really were a seventh-level powerhouse who was making trouble or even setting up an ambush here, it would be difficult for Feifeng and the others to parry.
//////
Lin Zaishan urgently recalled the reconnaissance teams and informed them of the situation. Everyone focused on the middle region of Australia and was eager to try.
"Captain, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get out of the way, right? "Zhiyang Yang is already urging.
"I predict that this area is very dangerous, so you are all staying behind in the flying mech, and I will go alone."
"Captain, you take the lead every time, and you will deprive us of the opportunity to be trained. Over time, we guys will get better and better. ”
"I'm going deep into the most dangerous jungle, and none of you have the ability to survive and fight in this jungle for a long time, and it's useless to go."
Feifeng and the others are self-aware, knowing that if they leave the mecha to fight on the ground, they will definitely not be able to please themselves.
However, Zhiyang Yang was not convinced, "Captain, I am different from everyone. He quietly leaned in to Lin Zaishan's ear, "I recently upgraded and rewarded a super tough ability - 10 seconds of invincibility. When I went out to search just now, I deliberately ran to the ground jungle and tried it, and sure enough, I let the plants attack without losing my health within 10 seconds. ”
"That's a good ability." Lin Zaishan praised, "However, after being invincible, there must be a long cooldown time, right?" ”
"I want a 100-second cooldown."
"100 seconds is enough time for the plants to eat you 100 times. You'd better stay behind the mech, and in my absence, you'll be temporarily in command of the operation. ”
"Okay. However, captain, I can say that if you don't come for 24 hours, I'll go there myself. ”
//////
Lin Zaishan arranged everything in place, crossing the isolation zone on the periphery of the X5 community. The trees here are equally dense and vigorous, but they are not driven by star spirits, and they seem unusually dead.
He put his hand on a large tree and felt its memory. In his expectation, the tree must have seen a lot of intelligent plants coming and going; But to his surprise: the tree's memory is poor, as if the jungle of intelligent plants not far from it does not exist at all. Lin Zaishan analyzed many trees one after another, and they all had similar results.
He surveyed the environment as he made his way to the area where X5 was. According to satellite observations, he should be in the center of the X5 community at this time, but as far as the eye can see, it is still densely packed with ordinary trees, and he has not encountered a single intelligent plant at all.
"Strange, could it be that the X5 community is extinct."
He crouched down, grabbed a handful of soils, and probed them closely, revealing new anomalies: the soils were supposed to be fertile on the outside, but analysis revealed that they were nothing more than a single substance.
"What's going on? Why is there no protein, organic fiber? ”
Lin Zaishan was puzzled, and suddenly felt a strong suction. This suction is familiar, but it is very new. Before his powerful ability could react effectively, the whole person was sucked out of thin air.
//////
A flash of lightning flashed, and the star soul of Lin Zaishan flashed in the strange jungle.
As soon as he entered the place, he had not even been able to stand on his feet, and he immediately felt an extreme abnormality. There is no strong vitality here, and the sense and control of one's own star soul that can be experienced at any time in the outside world are invalid here.
Lin Zaishan immediately checked his star soul state, and what shocked him was that he found that his extraordinary star soul ability had disappeared inexplicably! In other words, he's just an ordinary survivor now, and he can't even open the spatial ring.
"What's going on? Did someone mind control me? ”
He is a seventh-level Star Soul powerhouse and an accomplished Star Soul coder, if he wants to control his spirit, how powerful does that be?
"Am I entering someone else's Star Soul World? Someone else's star soul world is someone else's decision. If that's the case, it's a bad situation. ”
He quickly overturned his conjecture of entering other people's star soul worlds, because according to experience, even in other people's star soul worlds, his star soul ability would not be so completely lost.
After all, Lin Zaishan had a strong psychological quality, and he forcibly restrained his uneasiness when his abilities were lost, and calmly probed the surrounding environment.
He looked around and saw trees of strange shapes. These trees are not only simple and peculiar in appearance, but more importantly: they give the feeling of Lin Zai in the mountains as if they were drawn by children.
There was a crunch, and a large bird appeared in the air. The large bird was huge and flat, like a dark cloud, and floated comically high and low overhead.
Lin Zaishan noticed the sun in the sky, which was not hiding in the deep sky as he had seen before, but was suspended above him, just a little higher than the birds, which seemed to be able to reach the sun with just one ascension.
At that moment, an animal burst out of the blurred and stiff outline of the trees, and jumped in front of him. Looking at this rabbit, which looked like a dynamic texture in a pre-apocalyptic 2D game, Lin Zaishan suddenly realized that he had mistakenly broken into a two-dimensional space.
