Chapter 59: The Mastermind

Lin Mo opened his eyes.

He felt his brain groggy, and the sight before him seemed at first to be just a patch of blood red - like a scribble from a naughty schoolboy when he was bored.

But that's the color of blood.

Fortunately, his blurred vision quickly and steadily recovered, and the world in front of Lin Mo became clearer.

He...... I am hanging upside down above the "sky".

This sky is a huge biological dome made of dense scarlet vines.

In fact, Lin Mo is now in a huge underground space for China - the reason for this judgment is the "world" beneath him, under the dome built by the scarlet vine.

It was like a bottomless abyss, and a huge "thing" wrapped in a yellowish mucosal layer lay across the abyss, and the dim yellow light it emitted was the only source of light in this vast space.

The height of that thing was more than five stories, it was huge and incredible, but what really shocked Lin Mo to change color was the thing in the pale yellow mucous membrane - it was the brain.

Wrapped in that layer of pale yellow mucosa, the terrifying volume of pale yellow giant vesicles, soaked in amniotic fluid-like substance, is an incalculable amount of human brains, densely packed together, it seems to remain active, slightly contracted in the mucosa, but extremely permeable.

The glimmer of light emanated from somewhere underneath the dense brain in that mucous membrane.

Seeing this thing, the first thing Lin Mo remembered was the thing in Yue Yuanwu's description - it was the "mastermind" that controlled the entire Scarlet Tengman in the entire new capital.

After killing Lin Mo, he didn't expect that he would see the "mastermind" of this terrifying creature by mistake under this situation.

Lin Mo took a slight breath, and behind him, a row of scarlet vines was inserted into his narrow wound left by the broken wings like an infusion tube, and the scarlet vines that these scarlet vines pierced into Lin Mo's wound were not extracting and sucking Lin Mo's flesh and blood, on the contrary, Lin Mo could clearly feel that there was substance pouring into his body from between the scarlet vines.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Mo, who had been so seriously injured, did not die, on the contrary, with the material support delivered by the scarlet vines, coupled with the strong recovery brought by his extreme mutation, he was even able to wake up quickly.

But Lin Mo felt that this transmission was not one-way, and there were also some "things" in his body that were fed back from the scarlet vines.

Lin Mo even saw the gray giant bird on the side, its injuries were far more serious than Lin Mo's, and its entire skull was about to be torn open, and the final hit on the ground was also completely borne by it.

Therefore, even with the nutritional maintenance of the Crimson Vine, even if it is also an extreme mutant, it will not be able to wake up in such a short period of time like Lin Mo, and in fact, with its injuries, the possibility of complete recovery is very small, if it were not for the Scarlet Vine to give it a breath, I am afraid it would have died long ago.

Although the rapid mutation can bring the mutant to the rapid digestion of food and super resilience, but after all, it is only evolution, and it is difficult to use the high-speed mutation to miraculously pull back from the brink of death.

Lin Mo didn't know why the Crimson Vines didn't kill them, but instead brought them here and kept them alive, but he had been in the apocalypse for so many days, and he had seen many extreme mutants that ordinary people could not even see, and he also had some guesses about the current situation.

The only thing he and the Grey Giant Bird could attract to the Crimson Vines was that they were both extreme mutants.

Lin Mo said immodestly that although the direction of his mutation was developing in the direction of irretrievable monsters, if he really mutated completely, he was afraid that he would be able to walk sideways in the city of scarlet vines, even stronger than the gray giant bird.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to speculate on the purpose of the scarlet vine at the moment, undoubtedly to ask for his genes and that of the gray giant bird.

It's just that the way the Crimson vine absorbs genes doesn't seem to be the same as other mutated creatures, or rather, it's more cumbersome and high-end.

And in Lin Mo's senses, the material fed back from his body through the scarlet vines is probably the material that the scarlet vines need to read and absorb the genes.

This method of gene absorption in the living state of the organism is undoubtedly more high-end and refined, and the obtained genes may be more complete.

The scarlet vines that enveloped the entire city showed Lin Mo a sense of precision like a machine at this moment.

Lin Mo couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw the roots of the scarlet vines bounce off the ground before he fell unconscious.

It...... How far has it evolved?

Lin Mo didn't know, and he didn't want to figure out the answer to this question, he didn't complete his extreme mutation, and naturally he didn't have the ability to walk sideways in the city shrouded in scarlet vines.

He just wants to live, so all his actions are aimed at this.

And judging by the current situation, he ...... It seems that he can only pull out the scarlet vine man behind him that is deep in his flesh and blood first.

But...... If he really pulled it out, the space under Lin Mo's feet would be empty except for the giant collective brain wrapped in pale yellow mucosa, would he want to fall on that thing?

To be honest, Lin Mo felt disgusting even when he imagined it.

If the mucosa is strong enough, it will be fine, but it will only fall on the mucosa; But what if the mucous membranes are not strong enough? Isn't he going to fall straight into a bunch of brains?

Rao has survived for many days in the apocalypse, and Lin Mo, who has suddenly increased his resistance to all kinds of nausea, is also slightly hesitant.

But he quickly gritted his teeth - it was dry, disgusting on one side and death on the other, and there was no choice at all.

Having made up his mind, Lin Mo stretched his body in mid-air, slowly stretched out a hand, pulled at the scarlet vines on his back that were inserted into his wounds one by one, grabbed them, and then pulled them out fiercely.

The depth of his body where that thing was inserted was deeper than Lin Mo imagined, and when he pulled it out, he had the illusion that he had brought out the organs in his body.

But the row of scarlet vines was finally pulled out by him, and blood once again spilled from the wound behind Lin Mo.

Then there was the fall, and fortunately, the fall fell directly on the mucosa, and the disgusting pale yellow mucosa, although it looked extremely soft, still withstood the weight of such a big living person as Lin Mo.

But the bad thing is that such a fall makes the man feel like his body is about to fall apart.

-- The injuries he had suffered were far worse than he had imagined.

The memory of Lin Mo being led by the killing consciousness was clearly left in the depths of his mind, but all he felt was a feeling of horror.

But at this moment, Lin Mo was not in the mood to worry about the previous loss of control, because he suddenly realized that a clear brain does not mean that the body is safe.

Powerlessness, pain, and damn hunger rushed through the man's brain, and before that, he was supposed to stop the bleeding from that horrible wound on his back.

In fact, if someone saw Lin Mo at this moment, he would definitely be jumped - the reason for the next jump was not because of his mutation signs, but now that he was covered in blood, new blood and old blood were mixed together, sticky attached to the man's body, because of the blood covering, the hideous mutation of his left arm was not so obvious.

The current Lin Mo is a bloody man.
