National Juggernaut

Chapter 596 Before the Storm
"The plague of hairballs? What is that, the flooding season of certain plants like autumn?"

When Zheng Li heard this statement, he thought it was some fluffy little trouble, but when the local people said it, he realized that something was wrong.

This is the X821235 world, a peaceful world that accounts for a small number of countless different worlds. The local residents are a kind of strange life similar to the swamp people. They have unique culture and social customs, which the outside world cannot adapt to.

"Those mudmen say that furballs do all kinds of evil, and even take away their excrement as treasures? There are such weird existences in the multiverse, are they really intelligent creatures?"

"When I saw furballs and them cooperating to attack the mud figurines, there were assaults, decoys, and assassins holding stones. I thought they were creatures of intelligent groups, but I saw that they didn't even put the mud on and under the mud figurines. When I passed by, I found it difficult to say. Who is a serious adult playing with mud, oh, playing with clay dolls? That’s okay.”

Most of this weird world is covered with quagmire and swamps. It is always raining in the whole world. There is a ring of mushrooms growing on the outside of the Firefly cart. Little Firefly is so angry that she forces the little sisters to clean up.

The creatures here, the natural cycle and the periphery are not the same thing at all. Although most of the life lives in the "swamp", they still look handsome and beautiful. Or, when it talks to you, it will They are handsome men and beautiful women.

Men are like David sculptures, magnificent and handsome. Women appear randomly from large mature women to small young girls. If you see your face unhappy, you will come back in another direction.

And if you are a silicon-based creature or a Zerg, you are facing a different kind of creature.

They are intelligent beings gathered together from a lump of mud, which is itself regarded as part of the world.

"Mimic Mud Figures" is what humans call them. Considering the differences in the communication languages ​​of various races, this kind of naming is often to point out their core features concisely, how to make it clear. It is very likely that they have seen them The first eyewitness, turned around to the official casual adjective, and then called it out, and it was listed as the official name.

If the other party expressed dissatisfaction?Then we can use transliteration, such as the pronunciation of 'touch your father'. Forget it, fortunately, there are translations of common creatures on the watch, and the letters indicate that at least they look normal.

Anyone who has read the information here knows that "moba people" are very friendly and good at communicating. They even divide their city into two, giving foreigners a space to live and communicate, and they take care of the emotions and aesthetics of foreigners. Turn yourself into a more popular existence in the opponent's race for the first time.

Coupled with various coloring techniques, their simulations are quite realistic, and they have already reached the point of being fake. If it weren't for the fact that they are said to be inseparable from their own world, they might be born diplomats.

"What does that muddy figure touching your father mean?"

But it is a pity that all structures in this world, whether it is buildings or life, are a mixture of water and mud, and they will naturally disintegrate after they go out, and most races are not interested in them.

Beside the firefly cart, there were already several simulated mud figures actively chatting. Lin Shiyu's command system should have been in charge of foreign affairs, but Song Ying was very interested in this life form and joined in.

While chatting, Lin Shiyu was still figuring out what was going on, Song Ying led the person over directly, and decided to take him directly into the car depending on the situation.

"This is Nihuahua, Ni Huahua, um, it...she wants to go out with us, and we need a guide, so I decided to hire her to be our local guide for the experiment."

What Ni Huahua?Mud people have our pronunciation and naming habits? !Obviously it is the name you just thought of, you named it for it, and asked if it is the person!

Zheng Li sighed helplessly, Song Ying's cautiousness, how could she slip up when she was going to do something bad.

This is just a notification to myself, so that no one will deal with and know if something goes wrong.

"Okay, okay, anyway, no one cares here, don't do too much, last time the intestines and internal organs were thrown in the corridor, I was complained by several ladies all afternoon. By the way, these clay figurines are not famous family members. Squat, don't they automatically disintegrate when they leave here?"

"That's why I invited it. Their existence itself is determined by the special structure of this world. The subtle humidity in the air endows them with the activity of mud blocks as life substances. I tried to capture those 'psychic air' but found nothing , can only try to use its secondary items to deduce its principle in reverse.”

Seeing Zheng Li's blank face, she also knew that he could fully understand, but she just wanted to play dumb, so Song Ying waved her hands angrily and amusingly.

"They don't have a fixed body. I will use a 'puppet' to carry its soul. Even if something happens, I just let it return to the body. To be honest, what I am most curious about now is that there is no death in their social concept. So how did you derive the changes in society. Perhaps, they have not changed for thousands of years."

After saying this, Song Ying was ready to leave.

This strange biological form made her very interested, and she couldn't wait to enter the laboratory. As for the tracking work, it has nothing to do with her, she is just a researcher.

Zheng Li sighed. This guy's personality is probably the one that has changed the most in the team. After confirming that this wargroup has room for her to fish, she has changed from an intellectual woman who is a little ghost to a salty fish.
"Wait a minute, I still need your help. Aren't you interested in the furball disaster? These mudmen are also here to help us deal with these ubiquitous furballs."

After entering this world for only one day, Zheng Li witnessed several hairball attacks.

Those fur balls of different colors and sizes are bulging, the big ones are as big as two or three people, and the small ones are only the size of palms. The common thing is that they are extremely aggressive. To be precise, they look extremely aggressive.

It is not the first time that the Peace Corps has seen them in this world. They have also seen the weirdness of this group of creatures in the previous two worlds.

This seemingly delicate "creature" chases and "attacks" the local residents, the buildings and vehicles of the local residents, and will be taken away by them if they are not careful, and if they are attacked, they will dissipate into a Bubbles.

What's even more weird is that sometimes even if they are eliminated, the items that were taken away don't stay in place. They just disappear without a trace.

"Song Ying, there's something wrong with the fur ball. It has crossed three worlds. I want a detailed biological report within 24 hours."

Zheng Li already felt that something was wrong. The closer he was to the fleeing convoy, the more serious the world of the furball disaster seemed. Regardless of the fact that the scale of the disaster was relatively small, this was already an extremely rare cross-world event.

You must know that some worlds are not small. For example, the current muddy world has an area larger than the sum of the six cities in the central region. With the drift speed of fur balls that can't see wings and legs, it is basically impossible to travel across the world.

But it is known that more than six worlds have encountered this kind of weird little creature, and most of the local residents did not take it seriously. After all, there is not much loss, but this is beyond the normal scope of influence, making Zheng Li more inevitable. think.

Zheng Li's words were already orders from the group leader, but Song Ying silently shook her head.

reject?Zheng Li was even more surprised. With the temperament of this "fanatic fanatic", it was already strange that he didn't take the initiative to research, but he still refused the order of public research?

Is the aesthetic point of view tilted again, or is this guy's projects already full, or in other words, got a serious illness that will kill him? !

"Don't think about messy things. I collected some fur balls when I saw them for the first time, and I did basic research, and then I threw them away."

This surprised Zheng Li even more. You are not interested in this kind of cute gadget, but you bring it home with a pile of mud?
"...These hairballs are not living things at all."

"Not a creature?!"

Zheng Li was even more surprised. When you dissected silicon-based organisms, weren't you super excited?

"They don't exist in this world, they are just pure spiritual bodies, or spiritual bodies, similar things, they have no physical body at all, and the seemingly furry appearance has no vitality at all, and it can't even be said to be alive. I am very concerned about the disguise Living things have no interest."

Well, it seems to be another novelty, a spiritual body without flesh and life?It's no wonder they are crazily dying, or they won't die at all.

"Why is there such a strange thing, only consciousness but no body? This is a violation of the first law of psionics. Forget it. There are too many messy things in this land of the gods, but there is another unreasonable thing. .”

"No, it is called the first law because no counterexample has been found. Many special cases that were thought to be in the past are just that the technology, data, and observations at the time were not thorough enough. It is very likely that there are other tricks in it. But is it important?"

Of course it doesn't matter, this "spectacle" is just passing by, the important thing is to find the "prey" as soon as possible.

Zheng Li shook his head, ready to throw this episode aside. Even if it was inexplicable, he felt a little uneasy and something was wrong, as if he had accidentally missed something.

"Has there been any response from the 'token'? Has the 3897 War Colossus Chapter responded?"

After arriving in this world, Zheng Li discovered that his cart was not hostile. In the city "Marble Paradise" built by the simulated mudmen for outsiders, some senior war groups were already collecting information.

From the signals they left behind, Zheng Li confirmed their existence, but the weird spiritual mist here made most of the external psychic equipment useless.

Therefore, the Wu Sanjun was sent to contact them in such an environment. The "earth escape" and "mud escape" experts like the Wu Sanjun have the highest safety factor among solo travelers.

On the other hand, Zheng Li stopped because of a problem with the token.

"Both the R&D department and Mr. Master Shenjiang conducted the third research on the keepsake. The conclusion is that there is no problem with the two items, and everything is running smoothly. On the contrary, since the target is not far away, the psychic activation of the keepsake is quite active. In order to prevent They might lose power early, and we recharged them."

Song Ying still maintained a business-like attitude, as if everything had nothing to do with her, but Zheng Li sighed helplessly.

"Then, as the executive deputy director of the R&D department, can you tell me why the two keepsakes point in different directions."

Yes, this is the reason why the Peace Corps stopped. The two tokens point to a divergence in the direction of the obtuse angle. At the same time, tracking has become impossible, and the necessity of the cart makes it unrealistic to divide the troops.

Zheng Rousuo and the others said that they can track it alone, but how to gather after getting lost is also a problem. At this time, there is no need for them to take this responsibility. Wouldn’t it be nice to wait for the reinforcements to come and throw the pot at them? Half of the time is right, and no one needs to take responsibility.

And when he found that there was a senior war group in front, Zheng Li would naturally send someone to contact them. On the one hand, he would make sure if they had encountered a similar situation. If not, then their direction probably coincided with one of the two tokens. Then You can throw the pot successfully.

After confirming the division of labor and exchanging tokens, one regiment has one direction, and the troops can be divided into two groups reasonably.

Zheng Li thought very well, but the development of the situation was obviously not so easy.

Wu Sanjun's footsteps are very fast. In this ultra-humid terrain with many swamps and mires, his "amphibious shark" spirit family is like a duck to water, and it is much easier than others.

He didn't come back alone, the slight shaking of the earth undoubtedly showed that he brought back the head of the War Colossus, "War Mammoth" Zhou Fengge,

It was a towering and exaggeratedly huge man, the legendary fantasy orc mammoth orc, with a rough appearance but a quiet and flat voice.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Li knew that his plan was probably half over.

"Our token suddenly failed to respond. This situation is a bit wrong, so we are waiting for reinforcements from behind."

If that's all, the situation is acceptable, it's nothing more than a token on each side and continue to track down.

Why did the token of the Colossus Warband fail?Or is it close?At this time, it is better not to delve into it. Perhaps, no matter whether it is the following battle group or the family members of the "smugglers", they have not expected too much, and they have already prepared for the worst.

It’s just that the route information leaked out now, I’m afraid the Atel people will not kindly leave it to humans, so let’s kill the donkey and kill the donkey.
".We communicated with the locals and spent a little money to ask them about the land and wild clay figurines. They did see the convoy just two days ago and watched them go west."

The west?Are you sure it's not South or North?Well, you have made it so obvious that you can’t be wrong, but here comes the problem again.
"The gap has indeed shortened. This is a good thing. We should be catching up soon, but now, we have three directions. Where should we pursue?"
