Chapter 42: Confusion (2)

The screams Elcas heard from the hairy individual he was holding reminded him of Herals, who had screamed like that before.

An impulse in the bottom of the info heart arises, but it grows stronger and stronger.

He decided to go in search of Herals, and then hold her, right in the cave, in the cave that belonged to them.

Elcas knew that the screams of the hairy individuals contained fear, after all, every time he was so excited that he hugged them, his body would always uncontrollably transform into other animals, like the one who had been driven away.

Probably, Herals is not afraid, because she will also change like this.

The thought in his heart drove Elcas back to the cave to find Herals.

There was no Herals in the cave, and the faint sound came from outside the cave, and the cry conveyed a kind of panic and helplessness, or a kind of danger.

Elcas hurriedly turned and ran out of the cave.

Following the direction from which Herals's call came, Elcas rushed there, oblivious to the changes that had taken place in his upper and lower limbs.

The strange thing is that there are many individuals on the road, but they are running in the opposite direction from him, desperate as if they have been frightened.

Elcaston paused, and then Herals and Paris were already in front of him, and the two of them were walking towards this direction with something, and their bodies had also undergone the same changes as Elcas.

Elkas's attention was not on them, but on what they were holding.

The different cries Elkas heard came from what they were carrying, something was dripping from them, the wood was not well lit, and the dripping bits were black and sticky.

When he arrived, he noticed that the two things were moving on all fours, and they were about to fall from Paris's hands.

Elcas was taken aback when he saw it.

What is this?

He asked Herals and Paris where they had been captured.

The two little things moved on all fours, and like the three of Elcas, their lower limbs had become flattened, and the hair on their bodies was sparse.

Elkas's first reaction was that the expelled guy was back.

So he had to know where exactly Herals was captured.

Herals pointed to the forest behind him, behind the tall plants were several trembling and standing individuals, two protrusions hanging in front of their strong bodies, obviously different from the others, but close to Herals.

Or maybe he was close to Elcas holding the individuals who were screaming, and Elcas understood.

This seems to be a way to produce more instances similar to them, and the entity standing across from them can accomplish this task.

He took the little one with him, ignoring the low whimpering of the standing individuals, and returned to the cave.

Since then, Elcas, or Herals, or Paris, have brought back more strange individuals to the cave.

Overall, these individuals are not as capable of deforming as the three of them.

The cave is bustling with activity, and the growing individual, like Paris, shows enough desire to control the people living in the dense forest.

The fight between them then began, most likely in the form of a fight, and then ended with one of them being knocked down and lying motionless on the ground.

Elcas tried to stop it, but it didn't work out well, and to make matters worse, more and more fights were fought after the fact that he learned about them.

Furious roars could not deter these fighting individuals.

Elcas seemed to sense something, and he needed to talk to Paris.

Paris didn't take much time to take the inquiry from Elcas, who was impatient enough to tell Elcas.

No one can stop the emergence of the fight, and instead of stopping it and staying out of it, it is better to intervene in it, control the fight and profit from it.

Elcas looked at Paris, the individual still didn't have his own tall and muscular guy, when did he think that he did it again.

Paristan was completely white, and he had carved out the territory of the cave for the fighting individuals in the cave.

He told Elcas that it was like a dense forest that stretched around the outer wall of a tall cave, and that it belonged to the three of them.

Paris said that each of them involved in the fight had their own piece of forest.

Of course, he added, it would require a hard fight in the woods.

The one standing had a chance to get a piece of the woods, and then take the hairy individuals there.

Elcas asks Paris why he hasn't talked to him about the idea before.

Paris waved his hand and said that this is my idea, and I don't need to consult with you.

Before he could finish speaking, Elcas kicked Paris to the ground, and he stepped on Paris's chest, ready to continue questioning, when a force from behind him lifted him to the ground.

I don't know when the individuals who appeared in the fight were gathered behind Paris, looking at Elcas.

This scene is familiar to Elkas, and when he was about to eliminate the person who controlled them, the hairy individual looked at the target who was pinned down and couldn't move.

It's just that those individuals finally pounced, and the individuals in front of them didn't pounce yet.

Elkas understood that Paris's idea had been implemented and had actually mastered control of the forest.

And with Paris, all that needs to be done now is to deal with Elcas.

Elcas slowly stood up and watched as Paris left the cave surrounded by a crowd of individuals.

Herals, who appeared in the corner behind him, was so weak that he beckoned Elkas.

One of her forelimbs was gone, and something sticky had fallen from the remaining forelimbs, and a peculiar smell came from her, and Elcas moved his nose, and the smell made him uncomfortable.

Herals tells Elcas that Paris wants to convince Herald to work together against Elcas, but instead of agreeing, Herals says he wants to tell Elcas.

So there was the result that the forelimb was bitten off by Paris, and not only that, but after Herals was unconscious, Paris was able to attack Elcas silently.

Paris never returned to the cave, and Elcas spent that time thinking about a lot of things.

After trying to figure out the connections between many things.

For example, their formable bodies may have come from the expelled target, but they must have been too similar to that person after their transformation.

But where did that man come from, and where did he go after he was expelled?

Will I ever come back.

The extra instances in the cave have the same origins as Paris.

They are all the product of the same process.

He tirelessly carved on the walls of the cave what he thought and what he had seen in the past, some of which even Herals could not understand.

It's not that Elkas doesn't care about what the outside world is like, but the individuals who continue to survive in the dense forest don't have much contact with them.

With an inherently robust physique and an evolved brain, it's not difficult to survive here.

Paris hadn't had a hint of nostalgia since he left Elcas's territory that day, because the feeling of controlling the inferior individuals and thus the larger chassis was the best.

Day after day, he had to arrange the battles of growing individuals like himself, all the while racking his brains to make arrangements for the division of territory and even more complex issues.

Survival is not a problem in itself, but it can be difficult to improve and break through, such as launching attacks on large prey that they have never touched before.

Happily, a good solution popped into Paris's head so soon as the problem arose.

The next step is to imitate it on a large scale and spread it over a large area.

Paris is not only concerned about these issues, but he also has more ideas, such as the fact that he probably understands the origin of those individuals who are good at fighting, and he also roughly understands his own origins.

But that wasn't a reason why he should go back to the depths of the weirdly shaped cavern to see Elcas and Herals, he had his own place to live.

How much time had passed, the sleeping Crown didn't know, and neither did the assistant Endals beside him, but in the room where the light display terminal had been connected, there was only the faint breathing of the two of them and the humming of a device.

The occasional ticking no longer aroused the attention of the two, and the almost serenity of the faint sound seemed deeper and heavier.

The power support program set up by Endals theoretically has the ability to continuously provide hundreds of millions of cosmic time units, and the energy of the monitor does not have to worry.

The detectors that were dispatched at regular intervals obtained a large amount of information through continuous observation and monitoring for a long time, converted it into analog signals, and transmitted it back to the base hidden under Wantel.

Here, the central computer is programmed to encode the signals sent back, translate them and store them completely, waiting for the owner to wake up again to check them.

It's just a cold computer that can only recognize and translate simulated signals, but it doesn't have the ability to understand the significance behind this information.

This time, the message that was sent back from another part of the Esnia continent was translated according to the procedure.

On the surface, the computer determined that their level of evolution was not very high, but it was close to the level of evolution of the main surveillance object set by Endals.

The computer faithfully recorded several basic indicators that could indicate the level of evolution, and then numbered the information and saved it.

The tabular data that is still flashing on the light display shows that the number of individuals is 500+, and the mode of reproduction: sexual reproduction; Walking style: Walking upright; Whether tools are used and manufactured: Yes.

The number of monitoring devices is not large, and Endals has a flawed set of programs.

However, there is no better way to completely eradicate this defect, and theoretical design can never be completely realistic.

The specific quantity of monitoring equipment is calculated according to the basic quantity arrangement and the increase index under a reasonable floating space, but the impact of the conversion of the cold season with the more cyclical characteristics of Earls on the monitor cannot be prepared.

A lot of losses have been lost in the past monitoring process, but fortunately, there is still a part that has been running well and constantly paging signals.

One of the monitors was reconnected after a temporary disruption in performance during a complex climatic situation, and after losing contact with the base's central computer for a while.

After getting in touch, the monitor clearly deviated from the original monitoring route.

The central computer injected it with new route data in time, and the monitor flew to the fixed monitoring location according to the new route.

Just in the middle of the flight, the monitor's terminal spotted a colony of hundreds of individuals.

After the signal is sent back, the automatic evolutionary program that has been implanted in the central computer is activated, and it begins to instruct the monitor to start monitoring the new colony.

The characteristics exhibited by new communities are constantly being transmitted back to the base, translated, recorded, and preserved.

And by the river, day after day colonies began, the individuals had no idea that they were being monitored.

Although there was a young man who was called Xi by the people, and he had watched the black whirring thing that flew by several times a day, no one could explain what it was.

Another reason is that no one wants to deal with Xi, because no one knows how Xi came from.

Xi himself doesn't remember how he came here, he keeps saying that he was brought by a person with a sharp head, a slender body, and fair skin, but no one believes it.

Even if someone believes, it is not a good thing, and he is regarded as an evil person by these people.

In a word, no one wants to deal with him.

At first, Xi was very distressed.

His integration into this group has never been successful, and life is naturally very difficult.

An incident that happened when he came in made him even more distressed.

When I woke up when it was about to dawn, I couldn't help but scream, the lower half of my body was gone, and in my place was a slender one, in vain.

It's the same scene that appears in many dreams.

Xi would rather believe that it was a dream, as it had happened many times in the past.

Not this time, though, because the rocks thrown by the people around him were real, and they hit him on the head and made him scream again.

He screamed again in pain, and his voice began to become weird, and there was a strong confidence in his hoarseness.

The sound frightened the people around him who were still throwing the stone in his hand, and they scattered.

The lower body gradually returned to its original state, but the pain of the smashed part of the body could not be eliminated.

Xi shook off the leaves covering his body, and tried to stand up but failed.

The tiny particles on his ankle caught his attention, and the pain in the ankle down was even more painful than the pain of being hit by a stone.

He hugged his feet and noticed that what was on his feet was not something nearby.

He'd been to many places around here, and he was even familiar enough to draw a rough picture of the situation on the ground, but there was absolutely no place with such tiny grains.

He approached the shore of the river, washed off the small particles at his ankles, and watched them sink into the water, and then he took a few sips of water and felt better.

He simply sat down on the shore, the weather was warm, and he stared at the river blindly, and thought of something, and drew a symbol in the palm of his hand.

He looked at the zigzag symbol and thought to himself if he could use it in his own drawings.

A few waves on the surface of the water interrupted his observation, and the black whirring thing above his head just flew overhead.

He couldn't see that there was something in the river, so he leaned over to the river to see more clearly.

Still not clear, the things in the river left the water and rushed towards the river where he was.

It's a person, but it's not a person, or half a person, half not a person.

After the other party rushed to the riverbank, he circled a few times and landed on the stone.

The lying body began to change, just like Xi, and the slender lower body became two legs.
