Chapter 189: A Drop of Spore
The planet Masala is a planet with a severe shortage of water, so at a depth of several thousand meters, it is not dark and damp, but extremely dry.
But in this place where the sun never shines, it is not pitch black.
Although the blue crystal ore has been mined, there is still a large amount of crystal debris left on the rock wall that has been excavated in the mine.
These crystal debris emit a brilliant blue glow, like the stars dotted in the dark night sky in the dark underworld.
For a while, Lin Yueru looked at this fantastic underground scenery, and she was a little fascinated, forgetting the terrifying and gloomy mine cave before, and her whole spirit was also relaxed a lot.
However, she also knew that there could be no movement at this time, so she kept holding her breath.
Because she was holding Ye Yu, she could clearly feel a strong vigilance from Ye Yu.
The two had the same mind, and Lin Yueru naturally knew that Ye Yu's vigilance was not aimed at herself, but at those terrible Zerg monsters that might exist underground.
Ye Yu was indeed on high alert now, carefully observing any details around him.
Thanks to the magnetic levitation power system of the Condor Chariot, the Condor Chariot drove almost silently in the mine tunnel, and only a dozen decibels could be heard at close range, and the faint sound of engine heat dissipation could be heard.
Moreover, the mines on the planet Masala are all large-scale mechanized mining, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of mining vehicles and large mechanical mining equipment, so each mine tunnel has a diameter of at least 3 meters.
The slender vulture chariot drove inside, which was more than enough.
Moreover, coupled with the high-tech mining technology of the current interstellar era, the ventilation system is extremely advanced, and the air turbidity cannot be felt in the underground mine tunnels for thousands of meters.
This also made Ye Yu greatly admire the technology of this era.
However, Ye Yu is very clear that the biggest crisis does not come from the mine itself. It's from those terrifying zergs.
Although the mine itself extends in all directions, it is criss-crossed, forming a huge network of underground passages.
But this was not too much of a problem for Ye Yu, he used the map on the vulture chariot, and after careful investigation and analysis, he had found a route that could pass through the Zerg infected area and go to Jacob's base.
After a series of forks and turns, the two men continued to move forward in the winding mine road.
YE YU DIDN'T DRIVE THE VULTURE CHARIOT TO THE FASTEST, ONLY MAINTAINING A SPEED OF 60KM/H.
After 1 hour, the two finally came to the bottom of the Zerg infected area.
According to the map, on the ground directly above the two of them at this time was the large and boundless spore blanket of colonies that Ye Yu had seen in the telescope before!
As soon as they entered this area, Ye Yu and Lin Yueru immediately felt the difference.
Because the originally extremely dry mine tunnel began to become a little damp, and even the rock wall began to ooze a little slime!
Seeing this, Ye Yu slowly stopped the vulture chariot and carefully observed the little slime on the rock wall.
After carefully using an alloy knife to scrape off a little bit of slime. Ye Yu found that there were many tiny spores wriggling on these mucus!
And after a while, the blade of the alloy knife showed signs of being infected by mucus erosion!
"It seems that the situation is worse than I imagined, I didn't expect that even this mine tunnel, which is more than 4,000 meters underground, has begun to be infected by the fungus blanket!"
Ye Yu's expression was a little solemn, and Lin Yue also came to his side at this time, and after observing the surrounding situation, he said, "But it doesn't seem that this place is very infected. ”
"Well, compared to the complete coverage of the earth's surface, we can only say that there are just signs of infection, and we are not wrong in our choice. I just don't know what the situation is like up front. ”
Ye Yu took a welding lamp and directly spewed fire to burn the slime on the alloy knife. In an instant, the disgusting spores on it immediately turned to ashes under the high-temperature flames.
Ye Yu also has a certain understanding of the colony spore blanket that these zerg creatures rely on to survive.
Colony spore blanket, referred to as bacterial blanket. It is a living Zerg organism composed of various fine spores. It has a fuchsia-red appearance and a thick, sticky texture. In addition, the fungus blanket is very sensitive to ghostly energy, and can be affected by ghostly individuals and even be charged.
The fungus blanket is very important to the Zerg, and it can even be said to be the foundation of the Zerg. All living buildings of the Zerg must rely on the fungus blanket to survive. But at the same time, these living structures will also secrete colony spores, which will continue to spread outward.
What's even more terrifying is that the fungus blanket can infect any organic and inorganic matter. In this way, the fungus blanket has a terrifying spreading rate, and if it is not controlled, it only takes a few days for the fungus blanket to engulf the entire planet.
And according to what Ye Yu knows now, the fungus blanket not only has the ability to quickly infect on the surface of the planet, but also has the terrifying ability to penetrate downward!
Under this situation, it won't be long before the entire planet of Masala will be completely transformed into a giant Zerg nest planet!
At this time, if you move your gaze from the top of Ye Yu's head and extend 4,000 meters upwards, you will find that this is already the hinterland of the Zerg infected area!
With this as the center, it spreads outward, and the eyes are full of thick fungus blankets! Huge viscera-shaped buildings grow on top of the fungus blanket and beat rhythmically with breathing!
Moreover, these living buildings are secreting a large amount of spore mucus all the time, and these spore mucus wriggle after entering the fungus blanket, spreading the area covered by the fungus blanket outward.
In this myriad of spore mucus......
There is a drop of spore slime that has great ambitions and has dedicated its life to expanding the reproduction of the Zerg.
To do this, it follows the army of slime through the thick blanket of fungus and burrows into the ground.
At this time, the dense and impermeable rock layer underground has been eroded into a honeycomb shape by the fungus blanket, and dense spore mucus can be seen between countless holes!
And this drop of spore mucus, along the cracks of these holes, keeps penetrating downward, like an indomitable warrior, penetrating down layer by layer!
Eventually, after sacrificing most of the spores, the spore slime passed through a layer of rock up to 4,000 meters thick and came to a mine tunnel in the underworld, seeping out of the rock wall.
However, just as it was about to take root and expand its territory for the reproduction of the Zerg, it was scraped by an abominable human with an alloy knife.
In order to give this human a good color, this drop of spores immediately infects and corrodes the alloy knife, and as long as the human flesh is contaminated with a little spores, it can be infected!
But before its hegemony began, a high-temperature flame completely extinguished its ambitions.
For the fungus blanket, the only weakness is the high-temperature flame.
So the spores immediately turned to ashes.
But this stubborn spore sent out a ghostly message before dying.
The most terrifying thing about the Zerg is that the entire race, from buildings to spores, can transmit information through guò ghost, forming the entire race into a close whole, and uniformly accepting the leadership and command of the brain worm!
Therefore, this ghost energy message instantly crossed the shackles of distance, penetrated countless rock formations, and came to a huge underground lair!
