Chen Tianci and Wuji walked in the labyrinthine dark passage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they have been walking for nearly an hour straight. In the course of an hour, their communicator was also cut off for no apparent reason.

Wuji tried all sorts of things, but even he couldn't restore communication. In desperation, they could only give up their plans to contact the outside world and continue to walk towards the depths of the labyrinth.

According to the analysis of the information given by Wuji, Chen Tianci must have a device in front of them that interfered with signal transmission. With no way to find the core area inside the factory, Chen Tianci judged that they should first control the jamming equipment of this base.

"How far is it?" Chen Tianci asked.

Wuji ignored him. After a moment, Wuji looked up and said, "Judging from the feedback of the packets I just sent. We may need to continue walking for more than an hour. ”

"Still have to walk more than an hour?" Chen Tianci's brows furrowed slightly.

Wuji nodded. "And it's just a rough estimate." "My life detector has some fluctuations," he said. I think it's probably not just the two of us in this place. ”

Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "You mean, besides you and me, there is a third person here?" ”

"Whether it's human or not, I'm not sure yet. All I know for sure is that there must be some kind of creature here. Let's be careful. Wuji said.

Chen Tianci nodded. He unleashed his senses, carefully and cautiously probing his surroundings. The detection capability of Wuji is much stronger than that of most instruments. He said that if there is a problem, then there must be a problem.

Chen Tianci didn't dare to be careless.

He followed Wuji's instructions and pushed open a wall again. As the wall slowly moved away, a viscous liquid slowly seeped out of the ground inside the wall.

"Wait!" Wuji hurriedly stopped Chen Tianci.

Chen Tianci stopped and looked at Wuji in puzzlement. The wall in front of him began to slowly retreat because of the lack of force. Chen Tianci was about to reach out and hold the retreating wall, but Wuji stopped him.

"We can't go down this path." Wuji said.

"Why?" Chen Tianci was puzzled.

Wuji pointed to the viscous liquid on the ground and asked, "Do you know what these things are?" ”

Chen Tianci lowered his head in confusion, looked at it, and didn't see anything famous. He tried to lean over to check, but was stopped by Wuji.

"I'm not going to sell you anymore." Wuji said, "What you see are millions of rotifers. ”

"Rotifers?" Chen Tianci was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is that?" ”

"It's plankton." Wuji said, "Don't ask so much just yet. There are hundreds of millions of rotifers, not to mention here. It is likely that these rotifers are in a cryptophytic state. Shut this up. I think we're going to have to go around. ”

Chen Tianci didn't understand what Wuji was talking about. But he trusted Wuji's judgment, so he quickly closed the moving wall and re-sealed the area according to Wuji's request.

Wuji redetermined a route and walked slowly with Chen Tianci. "We have to be careful." Wuji suddenly said, "The main research object in this factory is plankton. But there are many types of plankton. More than we can imagine. ”

"What do you want to say?" Chen Tianci asked.

"You saw what happened just now." Wuji said, "Those rotifers are not ordinary rotifers. They have changed. ”

"Have you noticed the color of their bodies?" He asked.

Chen Tianci shook his head. In such a place where there is no light, it is good for him to walk normally, and it is possible to notice what color the bugs are.

"It's scarlet." "And, I detected that they have a high concentration of iron atoms in their bodies. ”

"I don't quite understand." Chen Tianci said.

"It's blood." Wuji said, "The reason why the blood of humans and most higher creatures is red is because the blood in their bodies is rich in iron, that is, hemoglobin. ”

"I kind of get it." Chen Tianci faintly understood, "You mean to say that that big pile of insects just now devoured something rich in hemoglobin, is that so?" ”

Wuji nodded.

"Rotifers have rotten food in their recipes, and I have reason to believe that they have devoured the corpses of some decaying creatures that died inside the factory." He said.

Chen Tianci's stomach suddenly twitched.

"Alright, alright, leave those bugs alone. Let's find the control center first. There will definitely be a power control system in this place. Let's get that done first. Chen Tianci hurriedly diverted the topic.

Wuji nodded, not continuing the topic just now. The two of them moved on.

They walked for a while, and Wuji instructed Chen Tianci to open a wall. As soon as the wall was removed, a faint glow of fluorescence suddenly lit up. Chen Tianci was taken aback and hurriedly looked at it.

Large swaths of fluorescence are lit up and gone, and then extinguished and brightened. These fluorescences are suspended at the top of the channel within the wall, high above. Chen Tianci looked at it for a while and didn't understand.

Wuji walked in. When he saw it, he immediately gasped.

"Luminous bugs!" He said.

"What is a noctilucent bug?" Chen Tianci asked.

Wuji rolled his eyes. "You should know about Red Tide, right?" He asked.

Chen Tianci nodded. Of course he knows it. One of the most feared disasters for people living in the ocean is red tides. When red tides erupt, large numbers of fish will die, and even the sea water will become foul-smelling and very viscous.

Such terrible disasters have been rare in recent decades. However, there are still some areas where such disasters occur from time to time. Chen Tianci often heard adults mention it when he was a teenager.

"Of course I do. I've heard this stuff a lot when I've been a kid. Chen Tianci said.

"Then you must not have seen it, and you haven't investigated the cause of it, right?" Wuji asked.

"That's right." Chen Tianci nodded.

Wuji pointed to the fluorescence above his head and said, "The cause of the red tide is above your head. ”

"Luminous bugs." "They are red all over and reproduce very quickly, and with the right environment, they can reproduce at a rate you can't imagine," he says. If conditions permit, they can destroy the entire ocean. ”

"There are so many of them, tsk," Wuji sighed, "and if they were all released, millions of nautical miles would probably become the Dead Sea." More than half of the entire Pacific Ocean will be destroyed. ”

"This is creating a biological weapon in another sense." He said.

Chen Tianci gasped when he heard this.

The inventory in this plankton factory was an eye-opener for him. But he also wondered why so much plankton was stored here. Especially this noctilucent insect.

As soon as this question appeared, Chen Tianci couldn't help but ask.

Wuji shook his head.

"Perhaps, the information we were given was wrong. As you remember, when you get this information, it's incomplete. He said.

Chen Tianci nodded.

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he looked at Wuji in astonishment.
