【050】The limit of the spirit line
The night came as scheduled, the already dark environment in the supermarket was completely plunged into darkness, Wang Hao and his group had already returned to their safe hiding place, and Chu Lei had also woken up from sleep.
After a few hours of hibernation, he regained his spirits a little, he no longer felt drowsy, and looked out the window, it was still empty, but he could already hear a strange sound in the depths of the supermarket, and it was obvious that the insects hiding in the shadows during the day were ready to move.
The traps are placed far away from the supermarket entrance, so the light here is much darker than the supermarket entrance, and the effective viewing distance does not even exceed 50 meters, and even the giant bowls can only be faintly discerned.
"Brother Chu, you're awake, the insect tide is coming." The co-pilot, Su Ling, held a homemade machete and said with a little nervousness, this time is not like yesterday, the location is on the path of the insect tide, and the spiritual energy fluctuations in the two of them will undoubtedly attract a large number of insects!
As for why she was holding a knife, it was because Chu Lei changed the trigger mechanism of the trap slightly, and the artificial control could be more precise, and it would not trigger all the traps at once, so it could be clearly selective.
And the trigger of the trap is in Su Ling's hands at the moment, as long as she cuts the rope that is stuck in the simulation car model, then the corresponding iron bowl will be covered, so as to imprison the mutant insects under the iron bowl, although the power of many insects is enough to shake these iron bowls, but with their wisdom, at most, they will only push the iron bowl forward, and the final result is still to become the prey of the two.
After checking the trap trigger mechanism one last time, the two of them began to wait for the insect tide to arrive......
The plan was much smoother than Chu Lei imagined, although it was only the simplest trap, but it couldn't withstand the terrifying number of mutant insects, the first two traps also needed Chu Lei to sense the location of the mutant insects before Su Ling could trigger the trap, but later, Chu Lei simply put down the remaining traps, anyway, the ground is now almost covered by insects, and at least two or three can be caught.
But the situation of the two is not optimistic, because the simulated car model has been completely covered by all kinds of mutant insects, and the car has completely lost its light, only the ears continue to ring dense knocking sounds, as well as sharp, or low chirps, which seems very chaotic!
Fortunately, the quality of the simulated car model is quite good, and those insects will only blindly want to break the protection of the simulated car model, so in addition to making people inevitably nervous, the two of them have not encountered danger.
But the ground has been covered with insect tides, and the simulated car model is inconvenient to drive, Chu Lei also gave up the idea of driving the simulated car model out of this place, anyway, his spiritual line can penetrate the simulated car model and cause damage to the mutant insects outside.
Just like last night, he began to use the strangulation ability of the spirit thread to hunt these mutated insects lying on the simulated car model, and devour the spiritual energy in their bodies, but compared to yesterday, tonight has a sense of racing against time, because after strangling a mutant insect, there will be countless insects rushing up to gnaw the corpse, and every minute, he has to compete with the insect tide for the ownerless spiritual energy.
There is no doubt about the devouring speed of the spirit line, and soon, the spirit energy he devoured reached the level of nearly seven thousand meters, and at this time, the spirit line finally had other changes!
After the spiritual energy line reached six thousand six hundred and forty-two meters, Chu Lei suddenly felt the information fed back by the spiritual line, just like a hungry person suddenly full, full of satisfaction, correspondingly, the hunger completely disappeared, and the spiritual line finally stopped feeding back to him The desire to devour, and the spiritual line itself also stopped devouring spiritual energy.
"With the spirit line that has been transformed, the length of the spirit line is almost 10,000 meters, and when all the transformation is completed, it will be a hundred meters of spirit line...... Is this the limit length of the spiritual thread? Chu Lei didn't know whether this discovery was good or bad for the time being, but he had an intuition that 100 meters was definitely not the limit length of the spirit line, but it turned out that after the spirit line reached 100 meters, it no longer devoured spiritual energy.
At that moment, Chu Lei and Su Ling talked about this discovery, and Su Ling didn't expect that there was a limit to the spiritual energy she could obtain, and she hadn't even devoured spiritual energy, so she didn't know what was going on either.
But Chu Lei has his own affirmation in his heart, the length limit of the spirit line is absolutely impossible to only 100 meters, and the extension of 100 meters may be due to his own body, in retrospect, it has always been the spiritual consciousness that controls the spirit line, so could it be that his own spiritual power limits the extension of the spirit line?
In other words, there is no limit to the spiritual line itself, and when his spiritual power reaches a certain strength, the spiritual line can break through this so-called limit...... The more he thought about it, the more Chu Lei felt that there was this possibility, although he couldn't feel the so-called spiritual power, Chu Lei obviously felt the difference in himself.
Recalling the beginning of the discovery that he could control the simulated car model, he only felt extremely tired after controlling it for less than three hours, but now he almost doesn't feel the mental consumption when he controls the simulated car model, just like eating and drinking, he has become accustomed to it, which shows that his mental power is constantly increasing, but it is not so obvious.
Shaking his head, he only found this thing about the spirit now, that is, with his long-term control of the spiritual line, the spiritual power will be strengthened to a certain extent, but he still has no clue, it seems that so far, all he can do is wait for the spiritual energy to be completely transformed into the spiritual line.
However, this day will not be too long, because the spiritual line can guide the transformation speed of spiritual energy, if you add Chu Lei to empty his mind, this speed will be improved to a certain extent, on average, at least about three meters of spiritual line can be transformed in a day, that is, almost three hundred meters long spiritual energy line, and as the controllable spiritual line length becomes longer and longer, the transformation speed will be faster, and under the long-term of the other, in less than a month, these spiritual energy will definitely be converted into spiritual wire!
The spirit line is no longer devouring, Chu Lei is also a little idle for a while, because of the insect tide, now he can't even see the situation in the outside world, let alone control the simulation car model to leave here, and he must not be able to sleep, those insects are frantically knocking on the car window, if he can fall asleep, Chu Lei will be divine.
Simply, Chu Lei began to close his eyes and calm down, so that the transformation of spiritual energy was faster.
And Su Ling is not worried that she will be bored like this, she is also affected by Chu Lei, she also has a strong curiosity about abilities, and every small discovery can make her happy for a long time, so she is not worried about having nothing to do.
In this way, the restless night was spent in a cacophony of noise, until the first rays of the morning appeared, and the insect tide retreated into the shadows as if ordered to do so, and in Chu Lei's perception, these insects retreated like tides along the shadows to the depths of the supermarket, even in the daytime, when the light could not shine.
"What's in the supermarket that's attracting these bugs?" On the first day of learning about the insect tide, Chu Lei thought about this problem, no one wanted to have a large number of things around him that could threaten his life, if it weren't for the simulation of the car model and the need to replenish supplies here, Chu Lei would have left here two days ago.
Fortunately, although there are a large number of insects here, their behavior is extremely strange, and they can't be seen during the day, but Chu Lei didn't feel safe, on the contrary, he thought that something must have happened in the supermarket, otherwise he would definitely not have gathered so many insects for no reason.
Anyway, Chu Lei already had a plan in his heart, and when everything that should be prepared was ready, he would get those toys in his hands, store a bunch of food, and leave here, this was obviously not a suitable place to stay for a long time.
At that moment, Chu Lei wanted to tell Su Ling about his plans, but when he turned his head, before he knew it, Su Ling had fallen asleep, and he thought about it, since the night before yesterday, she had not rested for almost two days and two nights, and smiled, Chu Lei did not wake her up......
