Chapter 183: Infected Place
Finally, I saw this huge island-like creature again, the 'Swimmer'.
The creature carried a lot of creatures on its back, swaying in the stormy waves, and looking at the direction it was heading, it seemed to be the same as Lynn, so let's go along and see.
Lynn's forces followed the swimmer, its massive body looking rather unstable at sea, and the creatures on its back had to gather to the center to avoid falling into the water.
Lynn's air force flew over these creatures and took a closer look at them, they all seemed to be in very bad spirits, not the impact of the storm, mainly due to lack of water and hunger, they should have passed through a lot of islands with food on the way, so they didn't starve to death like the group Lynn had seen before, but it was about the same.
Now with the effects of the storm, the rain and the drafts make them feel very cold, and it may be ...... if this continues
Just as Lin was thinking this, golden light suddenly sprinkled between the dark clouds in the sky, and the surrounding air began to calm down, and the rain became smaller......
The storms on the ocean came and went as fast as they could, and eventually the dark clouds in the sky soon dispersed, and the sea returned to a calm state.
Is this called 'fickleness'?
However, even if the storm stopped, these creatures were still dangerous, and now they needed food and energy, and Lin observed that there were only about a hundred reptiles on this swimmer, and they had many different species, but they were few in number, and their size was not large.
In that case, let's take them back with you.
Lynn asked some of the bombers to bring the frail reptiles back and feed them some energy-rich food before then. Now the plague has been stopped. They went back without any problems at all.
Lynn continued to follow the swimmer. See where it will go, and it is also possible that it will go to the mainland.
The creature was large, but it moved quickly, and there was something like a magnet in the brains of the wanderers, which they presumably relied on to discern their direction.
In this way, Lynn followed the Wanderers slowly, and the Bombarders sent the creatures back to the island, from which they had apparently escaped. So they soon found their original lair, and Lynn was surprised to find that some of them were surprised, maybe they had thought that the island would be destroyed by the 'plague', but now they found that nothing happened......
In short, although there are not many of them, these creatures should be able to slowly regenerate the environment of the entire island.
And on this side, Lin also sees the real, plague-ravaged island......
As the Swimmer moved through the sea, Lynn discovered that it did come close to some islands, usually living islands, large and small. It will dock at the shore for about 7,600 seconds at a time, though it is not known why it does so. It may be resting, but it also allows some terrestrial creatures to move between islands.
The swimmer is like an 'ocean bus', with a lot of small creatures on board after passing through the islands, and now Lynn sees an island...... As soon as the island appears above sea level, swimmers are far away and don't want to get close to it.
It was only after Lynn had some troops fly closer to discover the true face of the island.
The whole island is not very large, about 300 meters in diameter, but the whole island is covered with a large number of ...... Fungi.
It seems that all kinds of fungi are gathered together, the ground is covered with a thick layer of mycelium, all kinds of huge mushrooms stand on the island like trees, the highest is about five meters, and the stems of the mushrooms are also covered with pompoms, spikes and other strange structures, they spread all over the island, this island is estimated to have been once full of rich plants, so they grow so vigorously.
There was a lot of fungus dust in the air, and Lyn's bombers couldn't get close to the island to detect, so Lin came up with a new class of 'Fungi', and Lin learned about their corrosive ability by decomposing the fungus, and specially created a carapace to protect against this kind of corrosion, and the Pathfinder has this kind of carapace, a spherical floating class with a diameter of about two meters, and at the same time has an oxygen sac in its body, it can swim in the air with its fin-like limbs, and it slowly floats into the fungus's island.
The Pathfinder moved slowly in a deadly environment filled with fungus dust, and Lynn felt like a jungle with abundant plants, with various fungal structures covering the ground, and the Pathfinder gently slammed into a large mushroom tree in front of him, which suddenly cracked, and a large number of silk threads and debris fell from it.
This structure feels really fragile, probably because it has depleted the nutrients here, and now it has begun to die......
The probe extends some tentacles to collect some of the fungal debris and begin to break down the components of the fungus in the body.
Lynn found that the fungus seemed to be different from the 'plague fungus' of locusts, that they grew more slowly, but otherwise the same and were very aggressive.
Next, the explorers looked around the island, and Lynn found no locusts or anything special, and the fungus was probably infected by the dust floating here.
After exploring, Lynn asked Behemoth to aim his cannon at the island and fired several of Lynn's newly researched incendiary bombs, which would scatter a large number of flames, and the flames would spread and burn quickly when they touched the fungus, because there were no locusts, and the fungus would be burned by the flames before they could react, and eventually the flames would consume the entire island.
These creatures are the trouble...... They just keep devouring, devouring, and if they eat everything, how will they survive on their own?
After destroying the island, Lin continued to follow the swimmers westward, and in the area, Lin encountered some fungal islands, one of which had not yet been 'eaten' and had the remains of many animals and plants covered in mycelium.
Some islands are depleted of nutrients, and the fungi on them will slowly start to die, and Lynn found that some fungi don't seem to want to wait for death, they have a peculiar way of predation, they use mushrooms to emit a smell that attracts nearby sea creatures, such as flying fish jumping onto the island, and any creature that enters the island will soon be surrounded by mycelium and then decompose.
The Swimmer was afraid to approach any of the islands, and Lynn found that it became tired after moving over the sea.
And Lynn's approach to these islands is ...... Burn it all clean.
After the last fungus-infested island was also wiped out under the blazing fire, the swimmers finally found a place to rest at sea......
This time, it's not the island. (To be continued......)
