Chapter 30: Monomers (10)

While the central computer nervously monitored the whereabouts of the attackers, the captain and his assistants enjoyed the calm before the massive attack after a hard work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Looking at this inevitable attack from a different angle, it may be more pleasant. Or perhaps the real comfort is what's in the clear cup. The captain used the contents of the cup of excitement to resist the constant warning messages in his ears. The sound of a machine is enough to drive a weak-willed person crazy, but fortunately, he and his assistant have seen the world. The warning message told the two of them that the attackers from an unknown region in the depths of the universe had gradually gained acceleration when they rushed towards the planet, and they were coming.

Hopefully, the atmosphere that is already taking shape outside the planet will be effective in deterring these attackers, but in terms of the number of attackers observed, this hope is very risky, and it is more of a simple idea to comfort yourself than a hope. With so many attackers, it is very likely that the total amount of the atmosphere will be continuously consumed, and the atmosphere will be directly consumed in the local area, that is, a gap will be opened in the atmosphere, and then the attackers can drive straight into the atmosphere and attack the creatures on the planet freely. When the captain gave his assistant a picture of his pessimistic thoughts, the assistant interrupted him without courtesy, saying that the attackers might really be alive. In other words, these attackers actually came with a specific purpose. The words of the assistant made the captain feel that yes, who would dare to assert that the manifestation of life in the vast universe must be so monotonous. Moreover, the early warning news of the central computer is gradually proving that the captain's pessimistic idea is becoming a reality. As the attackers approached Earls, they overcame inertia and changed formation, stabbing at Earls like a spear. Earls is like a child on the side of the street who has no one to protect him, facing the attack of robbers alone. Taking advantage of the attack, Korors and his assistants moved into the hole they had dug out, closed the hole, and began to take refuge. The assistant did not forget to connect the surveillance system to the cave to make an observation of Nex. Giving Nexus this opportunity is a blessing or a curse, and it is the result of what they need to accept.

The area where the attackers landed was spread across the western part of the continent of Esnia, and even the northeastern edge of the continent of Ephyrek was not spared. After barely working for a short time, the monitoring system did not send back a signal. Endals ventured back into the ship to check the central computer to make sure it wasn't the computer's fault. It is impossible to maintain the monitoring terminal released by Nex, so you can only do a simple wait. All the two of them can do every day is to wait for the attack to end in a hole with limited space. Although they said that they were waiting for the end, they could not imagine what they would have to face after the attack was over. If the raiders form a large-scale colony after the attack, Korors and his assistants may need to embark on another journey on the run. And that was simply impossible, because their ship had been attacked again long after it had crashed, and it was impossible for them to fly again. As the days passed, even his assistant Endals, who was very calm, was so angry that he threw off the book in his hand several times and walked around the cave. Without the flat floor, the unbearable ground in the cave could no longer attract the attention of the two men, who only thought about when the attack would end.

Strictly speaking, after the attackers fell into Earls, they did not show the characteristics of colonization, but seemed to have disappeared. If many of the raiders had already burned up by the time they entered the Earls atmosphere, where did the ones that did not burn go? However, it is worth noting that the gas released by the attackers during the burning process obscured the usual blazing stellar light, and many plants on the ground were also enveloped by these gases, and death became the best word to describe the characteristics of the ground. The monitoring terminal launched from the cave can only function at a very close distance, and the situation on the continent of Aisnia is still unknown. Until he woke up one morning, the captain found him alone in the cave. When I went back to the hole where the login system was placed, I was not surprised to find that the login system was only the same patched one. Endals must have gone out of the cave alone while he was asleep, when the voice of an assistant appeared in the transmission system. This is the message of Endals, who finally couldn't hold back and risked his life to go to the continent of Esnia. Look at the signal coming from the monitoring terminal, grit your teeth, the captain is also ready, out of the hole.

The continent outside is completely different from what they once saw. After a massive attack by the attackers, it was followed by a timely darkness. Plants that have evolved to a certain extent have developed a cooperative relationship with stellar rays. When the light is blocked, the plants that draw the necessary energy from the light quickly wither. The taller plants seem to have held on for some time, and the plants with a very low degree of evolution that are clinging to the ground have long been unable to see what they were. Dead, that's how Flowers felt not long after he came out of the hole. Of course, he didn't want to delay his work on the road, he needed to find his assistant first. Or maybe he had to go and see how Nex was doing.

The scenes along the way kept coming into Color's field of vision even though he didn't want to see more. His hope is shrinking, plants are at the bottom of the biological food chain system, and now that most of them have withered, the lower monolithic life that feeds on them will naturally begin to die in large numbers because of the lack of food. Then bad luck befalls the higher monomers who feed on the lower monomers, and so on, and finally the day of the death of the top monomers like Nexus. He sighed, turned on the communication system, and was just about to contact his assistant, but the assistant's voice came from inside, Captain, please return quickly. Korors didn't react, and Ndals' landing system was already directly in front of him. The usually calm assistant appeared impatient, and the assistant told him that he had found Nexus and that he needed to return urgently. The captain didn't ask much questions, turned around and followed his assistant back to the cave where he was staying. The manipulator of the landing system slowly opened, and Nex fell limp to the uneven ground, making no sound and not moving. The captain looked at the assistant, who cracked Nex's mouth with a slight effort. The color of his mouth caught the attention of Korors, and the originally tender pink mouth had turned gray. I touched it with my hand, and it was also stained with a layer of gray and white on my hand. Chronos looked at his assistant and noticed that some parts of the assistant that had just come out of the login system also showed that gray color. It's no accident, he chuckled in his heart. The assistant pointed in the direction of the ship and begged the captain to join him in his efforts to move Nex into the ship, as it was the only place where most of the experimental and anatomical research equipment was available. The two worked together to complete the move with a robotic hand. Looking closely at the assistant, the assistant also seemed a little soft, and it was true that he was very tired after the flight, but it was far from the level of exhaustion like Endals. He had the strength to tell the captain that the attackers were not as simple as they seemed.

Before he could finish speaking, Endals leaned on the edge of the dissecting table and slid to the floor. The captain tried to lift him up, but Endals refused, and he demanded that Nexus be treated first. Nex's weight became a problem for the captain to overcome, and after painstakingly placing Nex's head on the dissecting table, he found that the original design of the table could not even fit Nex's head, so he simply had to treat him on the floor. The only solution that Flowers and his frail assistant could come up with was to clean it and isolate it as necessary. Speaking of this plan, it is difficult, but it is not easy to implement, and the most terrible thing is that I don't know what kind of impact these things have caused Nex, and it is not just as simple as being weak and motionless. In addition, there is no way to evaluate whether the cleaning can achieve the desired effect. After a brief cleaning of himself, the assistant who had rested insisted on coming to the laboratory to help with the work. With the help of his assistant, the cleaning was done, and after pushing Nex to a separate isolation room, the isolation door was closed, and the two looked through the transparent door to see Nex, who had not yet awakened. The captain asked the assistant what he thought of these gray-white things.

The assistant pointed to the equipment in the laboratory and said that he had collected some of the gray and white material that had fallen off after cleaning, and that the automated system was analyzing it. The results should be coming out soon, and the assistant dragged his somewhat weak body to see the results of the experiment. The results of the analysis calculations, which were calculated at high speed by the central computer, were taken back in the trembling hands of the assistant. The look on the face of the assistant told the captain that this was another serious situation. The results show that these gray-white substances are actually extremely tiny granular life forms, which are not falsely small, but the degree of evolution should not be underestimated. When the gray life forms appear as a collective, there is a division of labor inside. There is a small group that is clearly structurally and functionally distinct from the rest of the individual, in other words, partly executive, partly leaders and decision-makers. The assistant said that it was very likely that these gray and white lifeforms were using the raiders flying towards Earls at high speed as a means of space flight, traveling through the vast universe to reach Earles. A considerable number of gray and white lifeforms died as they entered the strange planet of Earls, but there were still lifeforms or descended, and began to look for relatively highly evolved lifeforms on the planet to serve as hosts. This is also the reason why, while in the cave, Flowers and his assistant did not see the obvious Earls being visibly killed. Chronos muttered that there was a division of labor, how high such an evolution must be, it was hard to imagine how small things that were too small to see with the naked eye had evolved to such an extent. He couldn't help but glance a few more times over the experimental equipment.

Although Nexus came to his senses after a while, when he first woke up, he showed agitation, which was scattered by the remaining memories of his childhood, and he slowly quieted down. However, this did not last long, and intermittent mania followed. Outside of the isolation cell, Ndals also showed unusual symptoms, going back and forth between the ship and the hole, disturbing the captain's mood. The captain asked him to stop several times, but he ignored him and continued to walk around. When the moment finally came, he asked the captain to dissect part of its head. The captain did not agree, first of all, the assistant's request was very abrupt, and the captain felt a very strong sense of ominousness. And the captain could not do such a job alone, and most importantly, no matter how risky, Flowers could not afford to take it, and there were only two of them left in the ship.

The assistant walked to the dissection table himself and began to prepare. He told the captain that he would also be involved in the dissection. That is, Endals will do the job as both an anatomical object and an autopsy. Flowers had heard of such a thing before, but had never seen one. He looked at his assistant, who nodded affirmatively, indicating that he was serious. He said that it was difficult to know a lot of questions, such as why he became so impatient. The captain reluctantly agreed to the assistant's request. At this moment, Korors's mood was heavier than when he had fled from Nabra. He silently recited the dissection steps, and with the help of his assistant, first peeled off the skin of the anatomical part of the head, and then opened part of the skull, revealing the already gray brain. The assistant calmly communicated every step of the anatomy with the captain, and the captain smiled and praised the sponsor for being a strong man in order to ease his emotions. But the assistant told a secret of his own. Endals told his boss that one of the most important reasons why his race was considered an inferior race in Nabra was that the sensory transmission system throughout their body was not well evolved. For example, in many people, when the part of the skull that surrounds the brain is uncovered, there is no pain at all. As it turned out, the ensuing exchange made the captain less stressful and the work went smoothly.

In Endals' gray brain, it is difficult to see what the problem is without careful discernment. The delicate tissues of the brain are vibrating rhythmically, and only by looking closely can you see that some parts of the body are vibrating rhythmically. This part of the tremor was slightly faster, and through the dissection equipment, Korors could see that small nodes appeared on this part of the brain tissue, and from these nodes stretched out more thin threads, densely woven into a web with each other, firmly controlling this part of Endals's brain. Chronos told his assistant what he had seen, and the two discussed many options to try to solve the problem, but they were unable to assess the possible risks, and for a moment the two fell into deep thought, until there was a loud noise on the other side of the isolation room.

Before the dissection was complete, there was a noise in the isolation cell. Endals couldn't leave the dissection table immediately, and the only one who could see what was going on was Koros. The captain turned around and saw Nexus standing up from afar, an agitated Nexus slamming desperately against the wall of the isolation cell. The time Nex spent in the ship as a child was mostly spent communicating with Endals. Now that the captain was not at all sure that he was reassuring Nexus, he waved to Nexus to quiet it to no avail. Just as he was about to go back, the assistant arrived, and the skin on his head was not stitched, so he covered it with his hand and came. After reassuring Nexus on the quarantine cell for a while, Endals told the captain that it was most likely that Nex's brain had been controlled to a deeper extent than he was. These are two issues and one problem.
