Chapter Seventy-Seven: Micro Defense

They don't seem to notice it at all.

Beneath the blockade wall, corpses everywhere began to slowly emit a strange aura.

If the corpse begins to rot and stink, the Void may transport or burn the corpse, but these fungi seem to be able to do more before the corpse decomposes.

The respirator of the Void Man is mainly composed of an air inhaler worn on the face and a small filter, which is very lightweight and will work automatically as long as the filter is worn.

This kind of thing can effectively filter the polluted air all over the virtual people's cue ball, and the life span of the use is also different depending on the price, usually more than a dozen days and nights, and it can be cleaned and then continued to be used after arrival.

Military ones are usually the most effective, but either way, they may be shorter in heavily contaminated areas, and can quickly become unusable in special contaminated situations......

The fungus released by the crystal lizard can cause this effect, and when they reproduce, they will constantly release a gas, which will clog and corrode some structures in the filter, especially the inner gills, which imitate the gills of fish to create the internal structure of the filter, but the material is also particularly susceptible to damage.

In fact, this fungus is already found on the cue ball of the Void People, and is called a 'filter infected fungus' by the Void People, but it usually lives in places like sewers, and I don't know how to get it by the crystal lizard.

Moreover, when the Void Folk themselves smelled it, their filters were almost destroyed.

When Lin saw that the Void Folk had to wear a breathing apparatus on her cue ball as if they were living on an alien planet, she was very interested in these Void Folk respirators, so she knew the various structures inside......

Although it is said that the Void People usually have a spare. But the number of spare filters will not be very large.

When the filter is damaged. They will be like the Christians who have been stripped naked...... In the end, they suffocate to death, and even if they hide in a vehicle with a filtration system, the vehicle's filtration system will still be affected.

And before it happens, they themselves won't even notice the threat coming.

In this way, Black Metal does not even need to lose anything to completely solve this multinational joint force.

However, Lin believes that this was not the original idea of the black metal, and they should have wanted to send troops directly to attack, because a huge number of troops have already gathered at the teleportation point...... This tactic being used now is that they suddenly change their minds.

Why a sudden change of practice?

Lynn thinks. They must have noticed ...... 'Lynn'.

They may not have been able to fully understand Rin's existence, but Black Metal did know that there was something on the Cue Ball of the Void Folk that was holding them back, so they did not plan to use the method of direct invasion, but used a less costly way to deal with the Void Folk forces.

They didn't want to send troops to fight the virtual people first, lest Lynn get information.

In that case, they can't be allowed to deal with the virtual civilian forces here.

As Lin was thinking, there were already more pompoms flying over the ruins of the city, which were pompoms scattered here for observation, and the pompoms flew down quickly as they looked at the group of corpses below. And glued to the corpse......

Phage, the pom-pom unleashed miniature units with this name on the various corpses. They resemble amoebae and devour the surrounding fungi at a rapid rate.

Bacteriophages can split after devouring a certain amount of dù, and they also use the nutrients of the corpses to create a strong enough force.

Throughout the blockade, pom-pom phage units began to deal with the fungus that had grown on the corpses, which were defenseless and could be easily disposed of......

Without enough of these fungi, they can't make enough gas to destroy the filter, but Lynn doesn't think the process will be very smooth......

The crystal lizards that ran back and forth between the ruins and released the fungus quickly noticed the anomaly.

Not only are they releasing fungi, but they also seem to be detecting the concentration of gases released by the fungi in the air.

They seemed to sense something abnormal, and Lynn saw some of the crystal lizards begin to test the corpse, using a sense of smell to spit out more fungi when they find that there is less fungus in a certain part of the corpse.

The lizard doesn't seem to have spotted it yet...... Lynn's bacteriophage

The phages devoured the fungi and began to expand rapidly, as if occupying the base, and the growing phages took possession of one corpse after another.

The miniature force began to expand rapidly throughout the blockade, and Lynn decided to completely occupy all the corpses here, so that none of the corpses would be gassed.

However, the crystal lizards found that the gas composition did not rise after they had almost vomited out the stored fungi in their bodies, and they quickly realized that there was a problem, but they had no microscopic means to detect them, and there was no way to detect the pom-poms of the phages on the corpses in a stealth state......

However, the crystal lizards still have a way, and they make some strange movements.

'Crackle-'

The sound of an electric current flickering, that is, the cry of the crystal lizard, is achieved by a kind of friction in guò's body, at first only one or two crystal lizards are calling, but soon, all the crystal lizards in the whole area start to cry together......

"What's that sound?"

Small crackling sounds echoed through the ruins, and the Void Folk standing on the blockade wall heard it.

"Forget it, maybe it's a delusion." However, when they don't see the source of the sound, most of the Void People like to use this reason to confuse themselves, so the soldiers on the wall don't pay much attention to the sound below.

Lynn, on the other hand, was prepared, because this voice was the language used to call her own kind in the Lizard language......

Like the turnips on the moon, the lizards have three 'sexes', and although the sex of the creatures is usually different, when the three are combined, they are able to somehow create offspring of a random sex.

As for crystal lizards of different sexes, their abilities are also a little different, so far Lin has seen two kinds, the one that opens the cone is one, and the second one that runs out to release fungi.

And now they were trying to call the third one, and with a crackling sound, the crystal lizards had already appeared in front of Lynn's eyes.

They look the same as the other lizards, but they are pink in color, and it is unknown what they are used for.

Because of these things about the crystal lizard, Lin learned about it through guò's communication with the crystal lizard she caught before, and she has not been able to communicate completely yet, so it can't express some complex sentences.

Although, Lynn could almost guess what the role of these crystal lizards was.

They emerged from the rubble and debris of the ruins, and quickly rushed to the corpses of the surrounding voids, and lay on them.

To the subtle phages on the corpse, it felt like a mountain with no end in sight suddenly falling from the sky, and the tiny prismatic spikes on the surface of the lizard's body pierced into the skin of the void like giant spikes.

While no bacteriophage has been harmed by this, it is not necessarily the case then.

Countless black objects were also shocked from the lizard's body as it lay down, and scattered on the surface of the skin of the corpse that landed on the void......

They were like an army that had fallen out of nowhere, this army was pure black, made up of the black sea urchins Lynn had seen and some other species of microorganisms, and all of them had metal-like bodies.

When they encounter the phage, they attack, each metal microbe has almost a cut or piercing limb, they cut through Lynn's phage, or pierce and tear them, they spread rapidly over the corpses of the Void Folk, trying to kill all the phages and reclaim the corpses.

When more crystal lizards appear and pounce on the corpses of the vanityrs, the miniature war begins.

This is supposed to be the third type of crystal lizard's ability.

The other two types of Crystal Lizards have this small metal immunity, but their immunity units will not leave the Crystal Lizard.

But the third is different in that they have a richer variety of troops, and they can move away from the lizard's body and attack the phages on the corpses around them, but ......

Lynn spotted a situation.

Lynn causes the phages to begin to retreat backwards, and groups some of the phages together to form large species capable of defeating their targets.

And when she retreated to a certain distance, Lynn noticed that the black troops had become strange.

Their initial attacks are very cooperative, slicing the phage into pieces in an instant in several different positions at the same time, but after chasing away, their movements become sluggish and they are no longer cooperative, and some even spun in circles as if they were lost.

This gave Lynn a chance.

When their offensive weakened, Lin had some of the phages assemble, and they simply fused to form dozens of times larger than before, while producing a dissolved liquid in their bodies that could corrode the black metal.

And they should also be given a new name - 'Gold Eaters'.

The new combination of Gold Eaters has begun to charge against the black metal that seems to be lost! They crawled over the pitted skin of the Void and came to the side of the metal microbes.

'Goo! The Gold Eater instantly unfolded its soft body and swallowed the metal creature into it.

The metal creature struggled inside, but to no avail, and before it could dissolve, the Gold Eater spread out and devoured another metal creature.

There is a word in Lynn's vocabulary called 'to overcome rigidity with softness', which seems to refer to that.

The newly formed force of Gold Eaters swallowed all the metal microbes along the way, causing them to slowly struggle and decompose in their bodies, and their ultimate goal was, of course, the body of the crystal lizard, the towering crystalline pinnacle in front of them.

However, it was not them who carried out the final blow, but - pom-poms.

'Bang! ’

After a loud bang, the body of the towering crystal lizard instantly turned into fragments scattered in the sky. (To be continued......)
