Colony 143 is afraid
In the middle of the sea, Bai Lu stood in the sea, and at this time she looked at the ring in her palm, which was taken from Li Sanxiang's hand. After hesitating for a moment, she put on the ring. Looking at the distant coastline, her mouth opened, as if to say to herself, or to Yuan Yi: "I want to save some people, the more the better." The 'I' in this world has long been decided. Isn't it? Bai Lu held the ring tightly and put it on the finger of her left hand.
At this moment, in the sea area where Bailu is located, within a range of 16 kilometers, the huge tissue composed of algae cells is slowly peristalsis in the seawater, and the single cells in the seawater are slowly agglomerating in the seawater.
In the process of assembling, some seaweeds form a leaf-like tissue. Some form veins like blood vessels, others become frog eggs, flowing through the veins, and others become amoebic worms that slowly wriggle in the pipes to remove bacteria.
Differentiation, just as the differentiation of individual stem cells in the process of maternal gestation is now present in these algae, and a presence in the seawater is rapidly being conceived, and this sixteen km radius is the core area.
Outside the 16-kilometre range, algae form a slender line that spreads for hundreds of kilometres, spawning towards cities. After half an hour, a faint electrical current (similar to a neuron) is gradually generated in these slender lines. Bai Lu's core area began to send messages to the outside world. The consciousness in the sea began to awaken at the call.
The camera cuts to Luan, who stands on the embankment and looks at the water like a soup.
The huge "kelp" plantation along the coastline has disappeared. After the seaweed is combined to form an "animal" like a jellyfish, these jellyfish quickly eat the kelp, digest it, and quickly disintegrate. This is a phenomenon of life that can never happen on Earth.
Looking at the sea, Lu An's heart was full of fear at this time, Lu An never thought that he had a deep-sea phobia, but now Lu An was sure that he did. "What's in the sea?" Luan now only sees that the most primitive seaweed in the seawater can be combined to devour organic matter as a whole. And you are organic. In other words, people can be devoured.
Think of the planet where there are no polyps, no fish, no shrimp, crabs and other biological chains. There are only a few simple amphibians in the sea (those that came down from land. )。 This seems to be a shocking fact. - These creatures are not needed.
The biggest reason for the extinction of an organism is the emergence of species in nature to replace it. For example, the Yuan Bird was replaced by canines. The sawtooth shark, a sea creature, has been replaced by an intelligent hunter like the killer whale. In the mass extinction 10,000 years ago, the saber-toothed tiger cave lion and other human genera were replaced by Homo sapiens.
It would be unthinkable if there were only seaweed in the oceans on Earth. Various organisms will evolve to enjoy the nutrients made by the producer (seaweed). And now there is no one in the ocean of rising stars. None of the biological chains on the seaweed have evolved. Only terrestrial evolved amphibians add richness to the species population of the oceans.
And the human beings in this world have also been amphibious in the ocean, but civilization was born only when they reached the land, and the black history of human beings in this world is that the group of human beings who gave birth to civilization on land immediately wiped out all the people who stayed in the ocean and could not use fire. It's the same as the black history of humans on Earth destroying other genera.
Lu An stayed away from the dam, and of course he didn't walk towards the city, and Lu An had already learned about the general situation through the communication between Xin Pingsi and Li Sanxiang. Lu An didn't want to go to the city to see the bloody scenes.
Lu An, a man involved in the Third World War, was not what some people in peacetime thought - 'killing people without blinking, and blood without changing their faces.' Lu An hates flying flesh and blood, because seeing flesh and blood flying means that the people on his side are dead, and most of the battles in World War III are over-the-horizon battles, and the enemy dies, either with the sunken enemy ship feeding the fish, or after the helicopter strafe, becomes a dusty wet object.
Luan can only adapt to death in battle, but he doesn't like to see killing, which is his nature. It's like a warrior who is not afraid of pain and a pervert who likes to be whipped, those are two different things.
If Luan's situation were to become a little more extreme, you might be familiar with it, and that is the psychological trauma of war. There will be resistance to killing chickens, and it will be difficult to adapt to eating meat. Become vegan. What's going on in the city - Luan knows the rough idea and doesn't want to see the tragedy there. And this world seems to be full of tragedies and tragedies at this time.
Leaving the coastline in Luan, he found a quiet stop on a hillside. After a while, Luan suddenly stood up and stood on the hillside to look into the distance. A large number of cars full of people drove along the road towards the sea. (Imagine a train full of people in a South Asian country.) )
The cars drove quickly, then stopped at the edge of the sea, and then the occupants immediately got out of the car and walked towards the water.
After seeing all this, Lu An immediately followed, and Lu An wanted to see what happened to these people.
Lu An's running, at this time, looks more like a mission in the martial arts world, under the effect of the guiding vein, the bushes several meters high jumped over, reducing their air resistance, and the speed easily broke through twenty meters per second, and became faster and faster, and finally reached forty meters per second. This speed is the speed of the early aircraft of World War I (the reason why it is impossible to reach higher speeds is that when the leg is moved, when the leg is shaken, the ball of the foot will be uncomfortable due to congestion, and the hip bone is easy to dislocate under the vigorous movement. )
When Lu An encountered the river, with the unobstructed membrane covering the surface of the river, the moment Lu An's feet touched the surface of the river, it bounced off the surface of the river like a splash.
After traversing a variety of difficult terrain, Luan reached a higher observation tower. Saw these people in the sea with their hands folded. It seems to be sitting in some religious ceremony. Some of the people who were originally tied up in the car twitched a few times in the seawater, and the green around them became more and more intense. The people gradually quieted down. The scene is the same as the holy water exorcism in the magic world.
With Luan's eyesight, he could see that the algae in the seawater aggregated lifeforms, surrounding the people in the water, brushing the human body with tentacles. Lu Ann picked up the binoculars and found that the bright jellyfish-like tentacles had pierced the skin of the person in the sea. And these people are not at all in pain and panic.
Dozens of minutes later, the first group of humans bathing in the sea water walked to the car, at this time they no longer had the panic when they came, and after they began to gather together to discuss, the crowd suddenly formed an organization to maintain order for the subsequent arrivals to the beach. They can even be seen calming the children and women in the later crowd.
The whole crowd went from a state of restlessness, anxiety, panic, and chaos to an orderly state of quietness, unity, fraternity, and consideration for others. After seeing this scene, Lu An was a little overwhelmed. The algae in seawater are directly devouring lower organisms, but this is the case for higher complex intelligent beings. The crowd shifts towards a state of order. It's like seaweed coming together and moving like a living organism.
"Well, this, won't it be my share." This reaction in the face of the crowd. Lu Ann couldn't help but ask himself.
Recall everything about this task.
First of all, Bai Lu has often run to the beach since this mission.
And now Yuan Yi suddenly released a headless task - to stop Bai Lu.
Then there are the anomalies in the seawater. According to Lu An, he couldn't believe that the algae mutation was caused by Bai Lu, but Bai Lu must have known that this was happening. And she must have taken advantage of the situation. Otherwise, Yuan Yi would not have assigned a task to "stop her".
After all kinds of clues are linked. Now Lu An suddenly thought of two things - first, Bai Lu took the ring away from Li Sanxiang. Second, the ring can have a certain influence on the minds of a million or two million people. In normal times, these effects may not be very apparent. But if it's in the case of the desperation of the crowd. This effect is likely to set off a trend.
Lu An slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the city, and it seemed that more and more traffic was coming out of the city. It seems to be running towards the land of redemption.
What happens in this world, Lu An has always been the mentality of an outsider.
What Bai Lu is doing, Lu An has always been in the mentality of a bystander.
Catching millions of electromagnetic stand-ins, Lu An has always been in the mentality of playing the world.
As for this task, Luan has always been in a aimless mentality.
And now the world is changing drastically, and the upheaval seems to have stimulated Bai Lu, and Bai Lu wants to do something big. And the prop in Bai Lu's hand, who was doing big things, seemed to be very strong by himself.
And now that Yuan Yi seems to have come to liquidate Bai Lu, Lu An reviewed his behavior, although Yuan Yi has not told himself so far, but Lu An feels that his behavior may not be able to escape the reckoning.
The reason why Yuan Yi has not told himself the situation until now, Lu An thought of two possibilities.
1, Yuan Yi is now liquidating the main culprit (Bai Lu), and Lu An, an accomplice, will have to wait for a while.
2, according to Yuan Yi's black-bellied character, Bacheng is still waiting for Lu An to continue to work. When it reaches a certain level, Yuan Yihao will be punished in accordance with the regulations.
According to Rong Xing's experience of dealing with Yuan Yi, Lu An found that Yuan Yi was bound by some rules, and Yuan Yi didn't like these rules very much, so he would choose to bypass the rules or find loopholes in the rules.
For example, if a consumer asks the store for compensation, the store leaves a loophole in his words, saying, "If you don't expose it, I'll give you a little more money." Then wait for the consumer to agree, and then don't give it, wait until the consumer mentions this and don't expose it, and give more compensation. The words of the consumer are then recorded as evidence of extortion. The above example is obvious: merchants are bypassing the rules and using the rules to trap consumers.
What will Yuanyi do? Lu An didn't dare to expect anything, and at this time Lu An felt a chill behind him.
