Chapter 30: The Seedbed
The wound on the hand that was pierced by the bud-like tissue was hot and painful, and I don't know what's going on, this pain also has a strong burning sensation, and the pain index is far higher than that of an ordinary puncture wound, not to mention that Gou Cao was pricked or fingers, ten fingers connected to the heart, and Gou Cao almost fainted without pain.
I was afraid that there would still be residual bud-like tissue in my fingers, and there would be severe pain and heart, so I didn't dare to delay, so I got into the medical cabin as soon as I got in the car.
A few lasers slashed, and some tissues around the wound were cut off, and the scorching pain suddenly alleviated a lot. Then, under the effect of 3D printing technology, the wound on the finger that was still bleeding quickly healed, as if it never existed. Let Gou Cao have to sigh at the convenience of future technology.
After the wound was treated, Gou gave the bud tissue to Cortana for examination, and then flew into the arsenal with a quadcopter drone. However, the drone's movement indoors was quite restricted, so several mechanical mice were secretly sent in.
A mechanical mouse can inspect all corners of the arsenal without a blind spot, while a drone can take pictures of what Gou thinks needs to be shown to the rest of the convoy. This allows for the most efficient detection of the situation inside the arsenal while hiding the presence of mechanical rats.
Through the display screen in the cabin, Gou Cao saw the images transmitted by the quadcopter drone and the mechanical mouse.
Although it was daytime, it was extremely dark inside the arsenal, so I had to turn on the full-color night vision device. The arsenal was empty, and it looked like it had been emptied in advance. But there is a frightening strangeness in this emptiness.
The part near the doorway is normal, except for a few black threads. But the further in, the blackness that spread across the walls became denser, and near the center of the arsenal, the black threads were completely entangled, like a black spun cloth, and the black threads were still squirming slightly.
In the center of the black wire mesh dense ground, there are also circles of bud-like tissue, the outermost ring is white, and the bud body exposed to the ground is only a little longer than a centimeter; A little further inward, the tip of the bud began to turn black, and the bud body exposed to the ground was also three or four centimeters, similar to the one that was dug out by Gou Ke's smashed zombie head; The further you go, the more black parts of the sprout-like tissue, the innermost circle is black, and the length is more than half a meter, but the thickness has not changed much, and it is still only as thin as bean sprouts.
Judging from the performance of the bud-like tissue, when the inorganic body is near, the bud body and the filamentous root will not react, and only when the organism is close will it react quickly and try to burrow into it.
So Gou Ke commanded the mechanical rat to get close to the area where the sprout body grows, and then used his front paws to pull open the black silk wire mesh and try to collect samples, but it didn't matter, the scene inside made the scalp explode.
I saw that under the cover of silk threads, it was densely covered with stumps, broken arms, white bones and broken flesh. Some are white bones with no flesh, and some are rotten flesh with some blackening on the broken bones. Some of the severed arms and stumps were still intact, and the hands of the mechanical rats crawled past, scratching at the broken legs and legs under the black silk line. Some of the heads without eyelids rolled their eyes, and after a while, they stared straight at the drone being filmed, as if they were staring at Gou Cao through the screen, which made people's scalps tingle and chills.
Originally, I was going to cut a few pieces of black silk thread as a sample to study, but as soon as the mechanical mouse tore it a little harder, the bud-like body reacted violently and desperately pierced over, and the residual wreckage under the black net struggled frantically as long as there was still a little muscle left, trying to attack the sampled mechanical mouse. For this reason, it took three mechanical mice to successfully intercept a small piece of black silk thread as a sample for study.
Gou Cao drove the remaining mechanical rats to continue driving towards the inner circle. Trying to get more information, but as soon as the mechanical rat approached the area where the pure black buds were distributed in the inner circle, the silk threads underneath immediately squirmed. Soon, several mechanical rats were entangled, and after a while, Gou Cao lost the signal from the mechanical rats. According to the footage captured by the drone, the mechanical rat was entangled under the black wire net and was quickly swallowed by the pile of corpses.
But he didn't give up on using a drone to approach the pure black bud body area from the air, but when the drone approached the pure black bud body a meter away, the bud body suddenly elongated and rolled the drone in.
The mechanical rats were all wiped out, the drone was left with only one spare one, and it was too late to produce new ones, so Gou Cao had no choice but to stop exploring the scene in the arsenal. But fortunately, everything that should have been photographed was filmed.
After cutting out the footage of the mechanical mouse in the camera screen transmitted by the drone, Gou Cao called the three commanders Hao Aiguo, Bai Yutian, and Chen Zichen into the car, and then used a tablet computer to show them the video.
"The flamethrower fuel is almost gone, and I think we should immediately go back to the settlement and get rid of the stockpile of high-concentration alcohol...... Something burned. After watching the video, Chen Zichen looked frightened.
"I also agreed to dispose of this thing, this thing is so weird, it must be a scourge to keep. But don't rush back just yet. Hao Aiguo frowned and said, "Things can't come out there, and they won't cause big trouble for a while." We can first look at the situation elsewhere to see if there are supplies available or something like that. If there are supplies available, move them as usual, and if there is a similar threat, bring more fuel the next time you come. ”
"I also agree with Brother Hao." Bai Yutian's face was also a little nervous, but he didn't feel any panic.
"Then let's move on to other areas." Gou Cao also nodded, "But if we find anything else strange, I think we should go back directly, there are too many strange things here, I'm afraid there will be any more danger." Let's go to the tarmac first, even if there is such black silk thread in the open air, it should be less. ”
While it's safest to look around and walk for a short time, there are some dangers that don't just stop if you ignore it. It's true that it's a bit risky to check it out now, but it's a real danger if you don't check it and inadvertently develop some big threat.
The convoy turned around the logistics depots and living quarters where there was probably the most supplies, and went directly to the tarmac, choosing the safest place to start the search. If you can remove something from the J-45 fighters and Y-12 transport planes on the tarmac, you can also use them.
Airborne weapons are not expected, except for nose guns, fighter planes usually do not carry weapons, and aircraft guns are not equipped with ammunition. But the electronics above are good stuff. In particular, airborne radar and airborne communication devices. And the fire control system is also good. Even if there is nothing on it, the lightweight aerospace gold used in the fuselage can be recycled.
The expected possible earnings have temporarily alleviated the harsh concerns. But he always had a feeling that something was going to happen.
