Chapter 51: Gathering the Survivors

What a pity......

Watching the jellyfish fall back into the water, Lynn once again lost the opportunity to study the levitation, and it was now impossible for it to go back to the hot water to collect the jellyfish pieces.

Why would you kill yourself just if you were impaled? Lin didn't understand these jellyfish, and she didn't know if they had brains, and now the other jellyfish around her had caught enough trilobites and floated away from here, and she didn't know when she would meet them next time.

Forget it, keep climbing.

There are also new arthropods crawling out of the sea, but there are fewer and fewer of them, which means that the sea is getting hotter and hotter, and they die underwater before they can climb out of the surface.

But I didn't feel any heat in the air, and Lynn didn't know why.

It wasn't until daylight was passing that Leviathan finally climbed to the top of the cliff and officially entered the northern land.

The land above the cliff was a wide and flat rocky field, and beyond that was the place where there were those huge pinnacles, and Lin could only see those long bifurcated pinnacles clearly now, they were very dense, the short ones were more than ten meters, and the highest was even more than a hundred meters above, and the whole body was covered with green.

It can't be a creature, right?

The thought was only fleeting, and Lynn was now more concerned about the current situation in the open rock than the spikes.

The rocky ground was covered with undried water, and littered with the carcasses of fish, mostly helmetfish, apparently washed up by the tsunami, and Rin's thirty-one surviving transporters were scattered over the rocky ground.

There is a peculiar smell that is produced by the corpses, no matter what kind of organism they are, they usually have quite a lot of wild cells on their bodies, which usually only eat some of the waste produced by the host, and once the host dies, they begin to break down the host's cells that have lost their ability to resist, and this process produces a wonderful smell.

It seems to be called 'rotting'.

The decay produces a considerable smell, and the Broundo scorpions, who climbed up first, were attracted by the scent of fish carcasses, and were feasting on delicious food everywhere, so Lynn's transporters were not in danger at the moment, and Lynn's Leviathan was not able to move at the moment, it had to undergo some modifications first.

The Leviathan had to be adapted to the terrestrial body, and some of the internal structures had to be replaced, because the way of bearing it was different from when climbing the wall, the distal segments of the arthropod legs had to be thickened and the ends had to be enlarged to bear the weight of the Leviathan.

After the modification was completed, the Leviathan began to move land, and it needed to find the transporters and attach attachments to them that could move on land.

Soon, Leviathan was approaching the position of the first transporter, and there was a little trouble here.

A huge ten-meter-long Dunkle corpse lay in front of Lynn, and a group of Brondo scorpions were surrounding the corpse, tearing its flesh and cortex with pincers, while the transporter was right on the tail of the Dunkle's corpse.

It seems that because the smell of the dun's fish is too great, the scorpions ignore the transporter.

But as the Leviathan approached, the scorpions turned around, raised their pincers and shook their bodies, putting on a fighting stance, not trying to attack, but just trying to drive the Leviathan away.

Lynn ignored them, and the Leviathan walked over to the fish's tail, and then began to create some 'attachments' in the body, which were actually a kind of arthropod legs, because the transporter's body was stuffed with nutrients, and the shell could not be opened casually, otherwise the contents would leak out, so the Leviathan needed to help them make them.

These legs, called 'attachments', have their own small circulatory system that can swing without being connected to the body, and the Leviathan coats the roots of the six appendage legs with a highly viscous chitin, which then sticks to the sides of the transporter's body, and when the chitins harden, the transporter is equipped with eyeballs.

Using this method of loading legs, Lin can even make inanimate things, such as stones, move, but the attachment itself does not last long, because most of the structures in its body are muscles and the like, and they do not store many nutrients.

Leviathan left with the transporter with the legs attached, and the scorpions, who had been posturing to threaten Lynn, immediately turned around and continued to eat the carcass of the Dunkle fish, having no interest in Leviathan or the transporter at all.

Leviathan and the transporter walked through the pile of corpses, looking for the other transporters, there were quite a lot of fish here, although there were a lot of broundo scorpions and some trilobites, but the number of these fish was estimated to be more than ten days and nights to eat.

Lin found that some of the flesh-finned fish were not even dead, struggling desperately on the rocky ground, and once their gills lacked water, they would soon be unable to breathe and die, while the Brondu scorpions, although they also used gills, they seemed to have some other special structures, and were not afraid of the lack of water in their gills.

Lynn had never killed a Brondo scorpion to study, though it didn't think it was necessary.

However, the tsunami is full of water stains, but sooner or later the water will be blown away by the air, and at that time, it is not clear whether the sea will be able to return to its normal temperature.

If the water is still abnormal, then you have to live on land......

Lynn soon found a second transporter, who was in the middle of a pile of helmet fish carcasses, which were occupied by a small trilobite that was small but numerous.

Lynn ignored the transporter and got the transporter out.

The rest of the search process did not encounter any danger, Lin found all the transporters, and gathered them in an empty rocky field, so what next?

I wonder what happened to the disaster now?

Although there will be no shaking here for at least a few years, Lynn is still a little worried about the fireballs, which are unpredictable and don't know where they are flying from......

Things in the air are unpredictable...... It would be nice to catch those flying jellyfish.

But they are so good at escaping that they will even commit suicide if they are caught, which is very troublesome.

If you go back to the sea, you may encounter a lot of problems, of course, there may be some completely new problems on land, and it is not as simple as resisting ultraviolet rays to live on land.

Let's wait and see, I don't know if the sea will recover......

Lin and many of the transporters were thrown deep into the land, and it is estimated that in those pointed woodlands, although they are all dead, they still have to be searched for if there is a chance.

As night fell, Lynn made some lanterns and placed them around the cluster to observe the surroundings to prevent threats.

The wind of the night was accompanied by the cold that had not been seen for a long time, which made Lin feel not so comfortable for a long time, under the distant sky, Lin saw countless lights passing through the sky, were those fireballs?

Lynn was given a new word 'meteors', and the meteors didn't come this way.

If that stuff hits land, that's a threat...... Thinking about it, Lynn began to assemble small classes called testers, which were used to jump off cliffs and test the temperature in the water.

According to the information obtained by the subject, the water is still very hot, and although the temperature does not continue to rise, it is still difficult to live in it......

Why isn't the air hot? The temperature of the water should affect the air.

Although she didn't know why, Lin thought it would be better, if the air was hot, no living thing would survive.

Lynn looked at the meteor swarm in the distance, silently waiting for the night to pass......

The smell of carrion permeated the vast area, and it was a sign of food, but Lynn was now well nourished, and there was no need to fight the scorpions for corpses in the night.

There are also creatures that are disgusted by the smell of decaying corpses because their cells are unable to defeat the saprophytes or are unable to resist the toxins produced by saprophytes, and when they smell the corpses, the cells produce a substance that causes the brain to feel a message called 'disgusting' that prevents the creature from approaching the rotting corpse or eating it.

It's a strange feeling, their brains can't judge whether the target can eat on their own, and they need to let the cells produce substances to make the brain feel nauseous so that they won't get close......

Why is it so troublesome? Now that you know that you can't eat it, you just don't go there, why do you have a nausea reaction and waste energy? Some creatures may even vomit out undigested food due to excessive nausea.

Is it necessary to be so wasteful?

After 100 million years of observation, Lynn has now come to a conclusion...... A normal creature, its brain belongs to the part of the 'consciousness' and does not know what other cells in the body are thinking, and of course the cells do not know what the consciousness is thinking, so the cells will produce some liquid substances, or transmit some energy to produce various reactions in order to tell the sù or control the 'consciousness', so occasionally it will lead to some very stupid things, such as wasting a lot of food by hiding a carrion.

It's really troublesome, it's a common problem of cerebral creatures.

Occasionally, Lynn would have the idea of 'putting together a brain', but the thought of it immediately dispelled it.

While Lynn was doing these somewhat boring thoughts, the night was almost over, and she couldn't see the meteor swarm in the distance.

But when daylight fell, Lynn found that its vision was even lower than it was at night......
