From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star
Chapter 145 The disappearing fungal blanket
The fungal mat appeared in the fog, which is a very dangerous signal.
Because the fungal mat is a special organism that is rare in the abyss invasion. This thing looks like bacteria, but it is not completely a bacteria.
If we use the classification of organisms on Blue Star, it is actually difficult to classify this thing into one category.
However, the real danger is that the fungal mat often appears with high-level abyss creatures.
Now the car has broken down, and we can only continue to move forward on foot.
The fog is still spreading, and it will take ten days for the fog to reach the Sulphur River Nuclear Power Plant.
If the crack point cannot be found within ten days, we can only abandon the Sulphur River Nuclear Power Plant.
At that time, the power supply in the surrounding areas will become a problem.
If the power supply is not available, many factories will stop working and the industrial system will be impacted.
A nuclear power plant may not shut down the industrial system, but fog has appeared all over the world.
If the nuclear power plant in Sulphur River cannot be saved, who can guarantee that nuclear power plants in other places can be saved?
Therefore, looking at this fog crisis from the overall situation, it must be solved.
Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
Moreover, Daxia is the largest industrial country on Blue Star. Once Daxia's industrial system is impacted, it means that the entire civilization's industrial technology will no longer be able to make breakthroughs.
Don't think that those countries outside Daxia have the ability to save civilization.
Countries that play with finance can only suck blood. When disaster strikes, the first reaction of capital is to flee to a safe area.
If Daxia's industrial system cannot be preserved, humans will rush towards the Stone Age.
Yes, if the invasion of the abyss cannot be stopped, it is only a matter of time before we are beaten back to the Stone Age.
In fact, just look at the situation of the Bansel tribe.
Whether it is the Bansel tribe or the Dark Iron Dwarves, their civilizations have been glorious, but in the end, the living space was compressed by the abyss and they could only migrate continuously.
Although the Bansel tribe still retains the forging technology, compared with the prosperous period, it is almost the Bronze Age, not to mention the Stone Age.
Humanity has no way out.
Lu Heng knows this, and the leaders of Daxia also know this.
Therefore, there will be two teams sent out this time. It is a saturation operation. As long as one of the two teams succeeds, the Liuchuan Nuclear Power Plant can be saved.
Lu Heng and Jian Qing chose to act separately at the beginning, exploring half of the valley each, in order to find the abyss rift as quickly as possible.
But this does not mean that Lu Heng is only responsible for the eastern valley.
If the eastern valley is explored and no rift point is found, and there is no sign of success on Jian Qing's side.
Then, Lu Heng will go west and explore the western valley as well.
Because there is no communication channel after entering the fog, Lu Heng is not sure what the situation of Jian Qing's team is.
If the worst case happens, her team has been wiped out, then Lu Heng will be the only team to carry out the mission.
...
After the weapons and supplies are equipped, the team continues on the road.
Overnight, the mountains and plains are covered with fungal blankets.
Moreover, Lu Heng believes that the thicker the fungal blanket, the greater the possibility of the abyss rift.
Therefore, the team should move in the direction where the fungal blanket spreads and step on the fungal blanket to get on the road.
The feeling of stepping on the fungal mat is a bit like a blanket, and a bit like snow. It feels muddy, like stepping into sticky flesh and blood.
This feeling is not good, but you can only bite the bullet.
Moreover, when you step on the fungal mat, the fungal mat will slowly spread to the upper of the shoe. If it spreads into the pants, it will be very troublesome to clean it up.
Therefore, every time you walk a distance, you need to stop and clean the fungal mat stuck on the shoes.
Fortunately, the fungal mat is very afraid of fire, and it can be made to retreat by burning it with fire.
Lightning can also be used.
There are many people in the team with fire ability, so you can deal with the fungal mat while moving forward.
If it really doesn't work, light a torch, walk a distance, and burn a circle of shoes with the torch.
...
Not only will the shoes be stuck with fungal mats, but the mechanical tiger cannot get rid of the fungal mats. After walking a distance, the four paws will be covered with furry fungal mats, which feels like growing fur.
Su Muyu used fire arrows to help it disperse the fungal mats to ensure the safety of the materials carried.
Nearly half of the team's supplies are on the back of the mechanical tiger, plus a machine gun.
It's called a cannon, but in fact, the difference between a machine gun and a heavy machine gun is mainly in the caliber.
Daxia's domestically produced heavy machine guns have 14.5mm caliber and 20mm caliber machine guns, which can basically be regarded as large heavy machine guns.
However, from the classification of weapons, those with a caliber of more than 20mm are uniformly called cannons.
Don't look at the difference in caliber only, the power difference of thermal weapons lies in the caliber.
The reason why the 20mm caliber can be called a cannon is because its power is really fierce.
With a firing rate of 450 rounds per minute, an abyss alien can be torn into pieces in a few seconds.
This is also the reason why Lu Heng asked the mechanical tiger to carry this machine gun.
...
In the next three days, the team explored the misty valley during the day, set up camp at night to rest, and took turns to keep watch.
Originally, Lu Heng thought that there was hope of finding the abyss rift in the densely populated area of fungal mats, but he had already walked out of the fungal mat area and still did not find the rift point.
Since the exploration mission was not carried out by Lu Heng himself, he could not help but worry that the exploration was not thorough enough.
However, the three perceivers were responsible for the exploration together, so theoretically no rift point should be missed.
Su Muyu also repeatedly assured that every pit had been explored and no abyss rift was found.
There was no news from Jian Qing either.
Both teams brought flares, and the electromagnetic signal was indeed blocked, but the flares could fly above the fog after being launched.
The reconnaissance eagle could see it.
So far, no flares have been seen.
This is a good thing, indicating that Jian Qing's team has not encountered any danger that cannot be handled.
As for the possibility that the abyss creatures they encountered were too powerful and they did not even have the opportunity to launch flares, this possibility is relatively small.
Feng Hou Jian Qing is a very famous superpower in the future after all, so she would not be killed in seconds and could not even launch flares.
…
The fifth day into the fog.
The ten members of Lu Heng's team continued to move forward and explore the last area of the valley on the east side.
According to the original plan, after exploring this area today, if they still cannot find the crack point, they will enter the valley on the west side.
This area is a sandy area with less vegetation.
Two kilometers after entering this area, everyone saw a skeleton, an animal skeleton.
"This seems to be the skeleton of a wild boar." Chen Zihang was not very sure, but judging from the size, it does look a bit like it.
This skeleton has no flesh and skin, only white bones.
Lu Heng walked behind the skeleton and looked at the spine, which was bitten off.
Biting off the spine is consistent with the characteristics of the Abyss Alien attacking animals.
"Did the Abyss Alien kill it? The larvae ate the animal carcass so cleanly?" Chen Zihang also saw the wound on the back, which was very similar to the animal carcass he had seen before.
Lin Zeyu squatted down, scraped the bones with a dagger, and said, "Isn't this too clean? There is no meat left. Does that thing eat so cleanly?"
Lu Heng shook his head and corrected, "It's not the Abyss Alien who eats it clean, but the fungal blanket."
"The fungal blanket eats it clean?" Everyone immediately showed a puzzled expression.
"Yes, the fungal blanket eats meat. When it covers the animal carcass, it will eat all the blood and flesh clean, leaving the bones, so it is so clean." Lu Heng explained.
"But, I didn't see the fungal blanket." Chen Zihang turned his head and looked around, and indeed did not see the fungal blanket.
Lu Heng had already discovered that there was no fungal mat nearby, but a skeleton licked by the fungal mat appeared here, so there was only one possibility.
"The fungal mat is moving, and there must have been fungal mats here. After eating all the edible things, the fungal mat left this area." Lu Heng made an analysis.
After hearing this, everyone felt their hair stand on end.
"This is too disgusting. Fortunately, I am not covered with this thing." Lin Zeyu said and patted his clothes with his hands, fearing that he would get stained with that terrible thing.
Strictly speaking, fungal mats are not particularly dangerous.
The spread speed is not fast, and the corrosiveness is not high.
Even if humans get a little bit of it, they can wipe it off immediately and then burn it with fire to clean it up.
But this kind of thing, once it appears, covers more than ten kilometers, and the area is so large that it cannot be cleaned.
Chen Zihang thought and raised a question: "What if the fungal mat continues to spread and occupies all the land of Blue Star? Then where will humans live?"
According to his concerns, if the fungal mat really spreads to all the land of the entire Blue Star, it will be difficult for humans to survive.
Lu Heng explained: "The fungal blanket can only exist in the fog, because the fog is acidic, and the fungal blanket can only exist in the acidic environment of the fog.
"If the entire earth is covered by fog that day, it will be over, and there is no hope."
This is also the reason why the fog must be cleared.
In fact, even if there is no fungal blanket, humans cannot survive in areas covered by fog.
In a world where visibility is less than ten meters and abyssal monsters may rush out of the fog at any time, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to survive.
Lu Heng looked at the Gobi Desert in front of him and frowned in thought.
At the beginning, Lu Heng felt that the denser the fungal blanket, the greater the possibility of abyssal rifts.
This is because the fungal blanket usually spreads from the rift, so the center of the fungal blanket is usually the rift point.
However, after searching the fungal blanket area before, no rift point was found.
Lu Heng Previously, I suspected that there were omissions during the exploration, but now it seems that there are no omissions, but the fungal blanket has moved.
In other words, the location where the fungal blanket first appeared is not in the current coverage area of the fungal blanket.
And this Gobi Desert once had fungal blankets, but now they are gone.
So, the fungal blanket may have spread from the Gobi Desert.
If we continue to move forward, there is a high probability that we can find the crack point.
But why would the fungal blanket leave this Gobi Desert?
With this question, Lu Heng continued to lead the team forward and went deep into the Gobi Desert.
"Be alert, the front may be where the fungal blanket first appeared, and the crack point may be in front."
Everyone cheered up and continued to move forward.
After walking two kilometers, everyone felt hotter and hotter.
"Do you feel it's getting hotter?" Lin Zeyu pulled his collar and fanned himself with his clothes.
"The temperature is indeed rising. Have we entered the hot spring area? But there is no mark on the map. "Guard Wu looked at the map with a puzzled look on his face.
Lu Heng vaguely felt something. The temperature was rising. It was very likely that he had entered the territory of a powerful abyss creature, and this abyss creature was of the fire element.
However, the temperature had already started to rise before he saw this abyss creature. What level was this thing?
No wonder the fungus blanket wants to escape from this area, it turns out to be to avoid the fire creatures here.
My mother listened to the mobile sales pitch and opened a messy business. She has been working on canceling the business at night. I can only guarantee two chapters tonight.
