Chapter 355: Round Ball
The two set off in the early hours of the morning, and before they knew it, it was close to dusk.
Mushi County is nearly 700 kilometers away from the reconstruction area in a straight line, if Luo Yuan is alone, with his speed, he will naturally be able to go back and forth in a day, but with a Wang Shishi, plus the telekinesis cannot last, all the way to stop and stop, the speed will be greatly slowed down.
Fortunately, this place is less than a hundred kilometers away from Mushi County, and it is already in sight, and it will take less than an hour to reach the destination, but seeing the tired and reluctant look of Master Wang, Luo Yuan still stopped, and secretly blamed himself in his heart: I am also anxious, if the Wisdom Tree is really there, it will not be delayed for a day and disappear, he said loudly: "It's getting dark, I'll be here today, you be vigilant, I'll go nearby to find a place to live!" ”
This place is in the mountains, the mountains and rivers are undulating, steep and steep, Luo Yuan found a cave in a position close to the cliff, the dense vines outside cover this cave tightly, if it were not for Luo Yuan's keen vision, he noticed the traces of the dead leaves nearby, he couldn't see it at all.
He tore the vines apart vigorously, gently covered his nose, and there was a strong smell from it, and only after a few steps, a creature that looked like a giant bear rushed towards him with the fishy wind, coming and going quickly, and a photo was hit by Luo Yuan's punch in the head, accompanied by a crisp sound like a bone crack, the giant bear flew upside down for several meters, and fell to the ground neatly.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the smell of blood, Luo Yuan was obviously a lot more civilized this time, and he was not so bloody.
Now I even have dinner today.
"Poof!"
At this time, Luo Yuan frowned again, and with a hard chop under his feet, a swaggering beetle that tried to crawl under his feet was suddenly crushed by him. Looking at this cave where insects and ants and mutant beasts coexist in harmony, his momentum suddenly emanated, and the air was shaken, and countless insects and ants did not have time to flee in a hurry, they were already stiffened, and they could not die anymore.
After a while, Master Wang also came in, and he didn't care about the dirt in the cave, so he sat on the rocks with a tired face, and he didn't want to move.
"Regret coming out, right?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"It's just that I'm not used to it, and I'll recover after a break." Master Wang pursed his mouth and said stiffly.
Luo Yuan smiled and didn't stimulate her again: "You pay attention to safety, I'll go find something delicious." ”
"Come back early!"
After Luo Yuan left, he re-covered the vines at the entrance of the cave and began to search in the forest, for a jungle expert with identification skills, as long as he searched carefully, there was food everywhere here, whether it was starch-rich plant tubers or delicious and juicy fungi, it could be found everywhere here. When it comes to the abundance of food, the reconstruction area can't catch up.
Luo Yuan sniffed, walked a few steps nearby, and determined the direction, he picked up the dead leaves on it, and soon saw a bunch of eggs, snow-white one squeezed one by one, extremely gratifying, each the size of a goose egg, round as a ball, see the number of hundreds, piled up into a hill.
Obviously, this is definitely not a bird's egg, but an insect egg, but it is also edible and has a softer and more delicious taste than a bird's egg.
Luo Yuan picked five and drifted away, as for the rest of the bird eggs, they were all broken by him, this is a habit that was formed in the reconstruction area, as long as the mutated creatures that can be seen in the line of sight, they are basically eliminated as soon as possible, so as not to cause hidden dangers.
Luo Yuan was lucky, and before he went back, he actually found a wild fruit, which looked like a hawthorn, but it was hundreds of times larger, each one was the size of a football, and the hard shell on the outside was very hard, and it was covered with spikes with barbs.
However, when the hard shell is broken, the flesh exudes a rich aroma, Luo Yuan ate one, and there is no unique sour taste of hawthorn, but a slight wine flavor*, the taste is soft and glutinous, and the flavor is very unique.
The whole tree was a giant tree tens of meters high, but there were only eight fruits, and Luo Yuan picked all the fruits and wrapped them in a large leaf more than a few meters wide. Even if you can't finish it this time, you can take it back to Huang Jiahui and Zhao Yali to try it.
…………
The embers of the campfire faded out, leaving only a faint red glow in the darkness.
Luo Yuan and Master Wang hugged each other and slept quietly listening to the ghost crying wolf howl of the mutant beasts outside, accustomed to the peaceful life in the reconstruction area, and returned to the wild, they could no longer adapt, any slightest wind and grass could wake up the two of them
"Sleep, I'm here!" Luo Yuan said.
Wang Shishi obediently "En", his heart was relieved, the fatigue of the day finally suppressed the worry of the night, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon fell asleep, I don't know how long it was, Luo Yuan gently broke away from Wang Shishi, looked at the time, and found that it was already one o'clock in the morning, feeling the slight coolness in the forest late at night, and got up to prepare to relight the bonfire.
Suddenly, a faint blue light swept through the entrance of the cave, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, he walked out of the cave curiously, and found that the blue light came from three or four kilometers away, and it was still shaking, Luo Yuan hesitated, and the curiosity in his heart made him quickly decide to go over and take a look, he swept around the vicinity, and soon found a pile of boulders.
Then, he pushed the boulder hard, blocked the entrance to the cave, and followed Master Wang, who was tired enough to choke after running for a day, and slept very deeply, without waking her up at all.
…………
In the middle of the night, the mountains and forests have been foggy, like countless evil spirits, sticking to the ground with teeth and claws, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, and all kinds of beast roars like whistles one after another, which makes people feel that they have come to the wilderness.
The next moment, a figure quietly swept through the forest, and the mist was torn apart by him in an instant.
After a while, Luo Yuan's speed began to slow down, and his steps became light and silent, he hunched his body, completely submerged his body in the mist, and then, he stopped, lying quietly on a hillside, motionless, his face was as solemn as water.
He discovered that it wasn't a mutated creature that glowed, but a technological item that could be seen at a glance.
It was a round ball about half a meter in diameter, milky white, the surface looked extremely smooth, and the position of the head was a small concave arc, a fist-sized crystal, suspended above the concave arc without any support, and the blue light was emitted from the crystal.
There seemed to be words and icons on its smooth surface, but except for the geometric icons, Luo Yuan couldn't recognize any of the words, saying that the words were more like some kind of distorted waves.
This ball floats in the forest, the blue light is constantly scanning nearby, plants, animals, even a small insect does not let go at all, this blue light is obviously not lethal, the blue light sweeps, these mutated creatures should do what or what they do.
The ball moved erratically, at a very fast speed, and when it turned, there was hardly any stagnation in the flowing water, and it flew up and down from time to time, obviously quite busy, but even the dense branches of the forest like a net, were like fish swimming in the water, and could not create the slightest obstacle.
Luo Yuan's face was solemn, after the end of the world, human beings under the pressure of life and death under the pressure of science and technology by leaps and bounds, in just two or three years, science and technology have made leaps and bounds, although in the civilian field, there has been no improvement, but there has been a big regression, but in the military field, there has already been a wide range of changes.
The new ********, the exoskeleton armor that will be applied, the nuclear-powered electromagnetic cannon, and even the recent breakthrough in nuclear fusion power generation, of course, Luo Yuan does not know, there is also his share of credit, the emergence of room temperature superconducting materials, which has made key breakthroughs in many fields.
However, no matter how much technology breaks through, there are always traces to follow, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
And the scientific and technological content of this small ball, even if it is just the ability it shows when flying, has already shocked Luo Yuan's heart.
Anti-gravity, advanced intelligence, this is just what can be seen, as for the blue light, I don't know what it does, and the smooth and sci-fi appearance is obviously not the rough style of the end of the world that pursues maximum production.
Even if such an item can be manufactured, in order to reduce the process and improve efficiency, the surface is absolutely mottled, with the edges left by the edge of the machine tool, and even metal burrs, as if it is a defective product, there will never be such a delicate work of art.
……
At this moment, the ball seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly it flashed, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared in front of it.
Luo Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly got up to follow, and after running for more than ten minutes, Luo Yuan hid again.
In the distance is a behemoth four or five stories high, at this time it bowed its head and issued a warning like a muffled sound, obviously quite irritable, Ren which mutant beast, when eating, a strange ball that does not know what it is, bold, up and down around it, and also emitting blue light on it, it will also be angry, not to mention, it is also the top predator in this area, and its temper bursts like fire.
Finally, the beast's intense anger turned into substance, and it stopped eating, and its whole body burned, and a layer of pale blue flames, like a bewitching ghost, pulsed violently on its body.
Luo Yuan noticed that the terrifying high temperature made the nearby air distort violently, and the vision in front of him was blurry and jumping. The trees not far away could not withstand the heat, and in the blink of an eye they turned yellow, and then burst into flames.
The black night sky lit up with a red light in a blink of an eye, and in the flames, the ball seemed to be affected at all, still faithfully performing its inexplicable mission, and occasionally even flew close to the blue flame on the giant beast's body, the terrible heat seemed to exist in front of the ball, and even the color of the surface did not change a bit.
A few seconds later, the orb was scanned and began to fly away in the distance, the crystals of its head still scanning its surroundings, completely oblivious to the fury of the beast.
The ball hadn't flown out a few meters round, the giant beast suddenly moved, such a short distance, for the huge size of the giant beast, there was no need to move at all, the blood basin probed violently, the carnivore was the fastest at the moment of predation, and in an instant, the lightning and flint from his lightning poked out his head and swallowed the ball into his stomach and then retracted it, the whole process was only 0.001 seconds, and even Luo Yuan could only barely see it clearly for a while.
Luo Yuan's face was serious, still lying on the ground, motionless, he had some faint expectations in his heart, he didn't believe that such a sci-fi item would end so easily.
It was possible that this suspected seventh-level giant beast could bite it to pieces with a terrible bite force, but this unseen mutant beast regarded it as a creature and thought about digesting it with gastric juice, which was undoubtedly whimsical.
didn't let Luo Yuan wait long, but only a second.
A white light instantly broke through the thick armor skin of the giant beast, and then more and more beams, one of which hit a nearby mountain rock, and in a silent silence, this mountain rock turned into magma and flowed down. Vaguely, Luo Yuan felt a more powerful energy, which was still faintly exploding.
Luo Yuan's face changed greatly, he quickly retreated, and before he retreated a few meters, he heard a loud "boom", and a heat wave rolled over, blowing Luo Yuan's hair flying, Luo Yuan looked up, and was frightened to find this powerful mutant beast, which had been torn apart at this time, extremely miserable, and even the original bright red flesh and blood had become charred and black, and he could no longer die.
In the curling green smoke, a round slowly floated up, and the originally transparent crystal above the head still faintly emitted red light.
It spun around in place, then flew off to the rest of the world.
He was 100% sure at this time, it was definitely a product of an extraterrestrial civilization, and human beings would not be forced to such a point with such technology.
From the battle between the orb and the mutant beast just now, and the orb's code of conduct for only self-defense, he was completely sure that he would cut it in half before it attacked, but he didn't have any idea of attacking in his heart.
He can't guarantee that there is only one intelligent robot, nor can he guarantee the terrible consequences that may occur if he kills this intelligent robot, after all, even the earth's technology can reach the point of real-time recording, and he may have just killed it, and the next moment an attack from space will attack, or directly explode.
Whether it's the aliens killing themselves in order to hide themselves, or just fighting back, he can't afford to gamble, he doesn't know anything about extraterrestrial civilizations, but thinking about the earth, it can already destroy an area within a radius of tens of kilometers, let alone extraterrestrial civilizations that have traveled thousands of miles to come here.
Its own powerful power seemed so small in the face of such a devastating attack.
Luo Yuan continued to follow all the way from a distance, cautiously, fortunately, the sphere's activity area was not large, and it was basically circling around, and after nearly four o'clock in the morning, it suddenly stopped its task, and as the concave arc cracked like a chrysanthemum, the suspended crystal quickly retracted into the sphere, and then closed.
An invisible force spread, the surrounding grass instantly lowed, and the next moment, it roared up, like an afterimage, instantly breaking through the dense covered woods, twisting the surrounding branches to pieces, forming a hole with a radius of three or four meters, and then disappeared, Luo Yuan hurriedly flew out of the jungle, looked up at the sky, the ball was only a small point that was imperceptible, and soon it was completely lost.
