Chapter 48: Discovery

A small-scale coup d'Γ©tat was accompanied by heavy battles, from restaurants to shooting ranges, from living quarters to armed quarters, and ended in victory. A combat officer was brutally beaten by a group of people, during which dozens of people participated in the torture and killing, and even ordinary people who were not familiar with it secretly kicked a few times to show their support for the participants in the coup.

Lin Jing, who did not want to be named, said that he was watching the whole process and always pulling the female swordsman who wanted to persuade him to watch the excitement together, well, the fight was very lively, everyone was very happy, and the pressure of the day was relieved, and I hope to organize several similar activities every day in the future, and the more intense the better, anyway, the more exciting the fight, the happier I am to watch the excitement.

"Hell, isn't it just a little joke, you guys, you're too ruthless, especially you, damn Duck, did you take the opportunity to flatter Sasa, no, that's not the point, did you secretly use your fighting spirit twice and hurt me to death. Rubbing his sore waist, Shul followed a group of lively guys back to the entertainment room, and the complaints along the way never stopped, "And you deer, don't think I didn't see it, you happily pulled Sasa to prevent her from saving me, or my Sasa is better, know to ...... for me Stop, stop, Sasa don't knock, it's already swollen there, oops. ”

The tragic sacrifice was exchanged for a cheerful atmosphere, and as for the issue of food ingredients...... Although moss is not in the recipe of normal people, this is a different world, so it can be treated as a moss from another world.

"Is it really moss?" "While no one was paying attention, Moria secretly leaned into Shure's ear and asked with a smile, "I haven't heard that moss can grow in large quantities, and if moss is used as a raw material, most of the soldiers in the fortress will starve to death." ”

"Heh, who knows?" Shul smiled mysteriously and shrugged noncommittally, "After all, I don't understand the language of another world that is too complicated, hehehehe." ”

Yes, it doesn't seem to matter what the ingredients are, some things are too clear, but it's a burden, and let it be an eternal mystery. However, the winged man's eyes seemed to be a little sinister, could it be that he was playing a bad idea? The more Xiuer looked at it, the more nervous he became, and he quickly covered his money bag and took a few steps back, avoiding Yuri's gaze, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the living quarters, Shul assigned a task to all ordinary people, and everyone except eight high-ranking mercenaries had to do it. Everyone went to the shooting range in batches to practice shooting with native weapons, at least to learn how to change bullets and how to shoot correctly.

No one has any objection to this, everyone understands in their hearts that this is to give them a little more self-protection ability in this dangerous world, and it is definitely not possible to just think about relying on the fighters, and sometimes the fighters are still too busy to take care of themselves, or it is more secure to have their own combat capabilities.

Therefore, Shuer specially asked Wei to send two mechanical puppets to teach everyone how to use firearms, this kind of thing does not need to be discussed, and it will naturally become clear after a few more demonstrations. The mood of the workers and scholars was very high, after all, it was not common for people to be able to fight the enemy like a warrior without physical fitness, and everyone felt that it was particularly fresh, even the two seriously wounded who were barely able to stand under the treatment of the advanced local treatment technology were involved.

Especially that Mia's assistant, the old mage named Fussen, after being reprimanded by Mia, has been looking depressed, as if he has been wronged, but now when he sees something new, he immediately relapses into his old ways, and almost disassembles the gun in his hand into parts as soon as possible. As for the others, several of them were screaming at the stray bullets of their companions, forget it, anyway, the ammunition here is all training ammunition, not a metal bullet, but a kind of hard gelatinous substance, which is not very lethal, let them remember the lesson with their bodies.

The eight of them didn't go to join in the fun, the attack power of the fighters is much stronger than that of firearms, especially the high-level fighters, it is a complete waste to let them use firearms, so none of them went to the shooting range to join in the fun, but tacitly returned to the unmanned restaurant, concentrated in one corner, some news that is not suitable for ordinary people to know, it is time to exchange.

"Yuri, look at what you've been playing with those two machines today, is there anything wrong with them?" Seeing that everyone had regained their seriousness, Shul nodded and was the first to speak.

"Huh, you can still play with machines, the taste is so unique. ”

"Moria...... "It seems that not everyone is in the state yet, at least a certain forest spirit...... Well, maybe that's what it's like to get into the groove.

"It's so exciting, they're amazing. Wingman Yuri waved his white fist excitedly, and the feathers on his wings were about to explode, "I saw a lot of interesting things. ”

"You...... Never mind. Thinking that the Wing Man was no more reassuring than Lin Jing's character, Xiuer simply gave up the reminder and just instructed, "Don't forget your job." ”

"Don't worry, I can't forget, I've been paying attention to the safety of the fortress, especially in the air, if there is really an air force, I will find out as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business. Shure motioned to Miriday, "Mia and Dark, they have a good harvest today, the corpses should be handed over to you, you are an expert in life, how about it, look at your worries all night, do you have any new discoveries about insects?"

"Well, I've found quite a few problems. Miridy did show that she was worried, and sighed lightly, "These insects are very different from the creatures we know, I hope you can be mentally prepared, don't be too surprised, and don't panic." ”

The mercenaries looked at each other, not knowing why the necromancer was so serious, but in order to show respect for her, everyone nodded and did not question it.

Except for Moria.

"Let me start with it, I also found a strange problem with the fungus they brought back from Mia, and I think it has something to do with Miriday's discovery. Moriah preemptively said, "I'm going to say less, and it should help everyone understand Miridy's discovery, yo, at least I think so." ”

Miridy was not dissatisfied, and naturally nodded, and Shure made a gesture of invitation to Moria.

"I've seen the mushroom blankets I brought back, and I've tried to communicate with my racial talents, and in the end, they are not plants at all. ”

Well, the fungus blanket is not a plant? It obviously has a lichen-like appearance, and if you look closely, it has a mycelial structure, but it is not a plant? Can it still be an animal? Everyone was a little puzzled for a while.

"They do have a certain vegetative nature, but they are not plants in the pure sense of the word, I should say ...... Half-plant, half-animal, I don't know how to explain it, well, it's just some kind of physiological structure that extends out of some kind of organism to the outside world, but with a strong vegetative nature. ”

"I see, it's like a tortoise's shell, it looks like a mineral, but it's actually part of an animal. Shul understood Moria's thoughts, and said after thinking, "In other words, this thing we dug up is actually the body of some kind of bug. Since it's not a plant, can you analyze it?"

"It's not really a plant, and I don't know what kind of creature it is, but the plant is so strong that I can barely analyze it. "First of all, the source of the nutrients is unknown, but they can grow like real fungi, and they can provide energy for the eaters like real plants, and in my estimation, they should be the food source for some of the herbivorous insects in the colony, and even hypothetically the food source for most of the insects, which is the bottom of the food chain." ”

"Well, understandable, you continue. ”

"The second discovery, the reason is unknown, but it has a strong energy conduction, and it is a two-way conduction, if explained in detail, it can not only absorb energy from the outside world and transfer it to the organism itself, but also can radiate energy from the organism to the outside. This is a very rare phenomenon for plants, and it is up to Miridy to judge whether it is common for living organisms. ”

"Anything else?" Shuer listened very carefully, "Judging by your expression, there should be a point." ”

"Yes, the third discovery is that it can secrete a kind of liquid, remember the very slippery feeling when we stepped on it, it was caused by secretions. Liquids don't seem to do anything other than lubrication, but that's because they only work on certain objects, heh, inanimate lifeforms. ”

"Inanimate lifeforms?" Shuer was stunned for a moment, looking at the others, and everyone didn't seem to react, "What is that?"

"It's a corpse. Miridy frowned and explained, "Golems and elemental creatures don't count, corpses of normal fleshy creatures. ”

"Well, the liquid has no effect on living creatures, but once the body dies, the liquid will corrode the corpse like digesting food, and be converted into energy for the fungus blanket to absorb, and the transformation efficiency and absorption efficiency are amazing, even more than ninety percent. Moreover, the rate of corrosion is extremely fast, a complete human corpse is expected to take only ten minutes, and there are no bones left, and if the corpses are scattered and separated, the speed will be even faster, five minutes, three minutes? ”

"Hey, no wonder the bugs tore all the corpses into pieces. "I thought they were doing this to kill the enemy completely, but now it seems that the fungus blanket can absorb faster." ”

"Now it all makes sense. Moria's discovery confused everyone, except for Miriday, who seemed to have figured out some problem, "It's really an interesting system, it's simply a race that exists for survival and expansion, but there will always be a bit of energy consumption, if you don't fight, what to supplement?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Shure.

"I'm talking about bugs. Miridy said in a deep voice, "We are indeed dealing with a group of bugs, but we can also take them one by one. ”
