Chapter 47: toxin
?According to the understanding of the living habits of the Zerg for thousands of years, these Zerg are hateful, but they are only aimed at humans.
For example, they will attack humans and use humans as food or even carriers to reproduce the next generation, but they have never caused any threat to the environment on which their own species depend. Humans, zerg, beasts and xenophytes have always been in a wonderful balance.
But now, Ye Ji looked at the dead branches and leaves all over the ground, doubting whether the information that human beings have mastered for thousands of years is accurate. Or did the Zerg really have such a big temperament?
"How could this be..." Obviously Xiao Feng was also surprised. It downloaded all the information about the Zerg for the owner's expedition this time, but there has never been a record that the Zerg will absorb the essence of plants.
"It seems that this is closely related to this abnormal attack of the Zerg."
Ye Ji stood at the edge of the yellowish zone and reached out to touch the yellowed leaves on the ground, but was stopped by Xiaofeng.
"Master, be careful, let me take a look first."
Ye Ji retracted her hands and hugged Xiao Der and stood aside, "Well, has the image just passed to them?"
Xiao Feng deformed her left arm, took out the test tube and collection dish to conduct various experiments, and started recording data again, her hands were busy.
"It has been passed, but the signal is not very good. It is estimated that it will not be received any further. The marshals and the others suggested that we withdraw immediately. The information we have is already very meaningful. Master, Are we really going to move forward?"
"Hmm."
Ye Ji looked around, it had been several days since they entered the forest. Although with his ability, he didn't take these beasts in his eyes originally, but he didn't expect this little nerd to be a natural shield, but it was a lot more convenient, and the speed was much faster than he expected.
And looking at her happy face, those who didn't know thought this was her home.
The little nerd has been busy communicating with animals for the past two days. Thanks to her, he knows a lot of the secret history of this forest. It is even more and more suspicious of the purpose of these Zerg.
Ye Ji thinks that these hateful bugs must have some big conspiracy. If there is a purposeful precaution before they are ready to launch large-scale operations, then humans may be able to change from passive to active, and even eliminate them in one fell swoop.
I just don't know if other planets have the same phenomenon. If so, then you must contact people on other planets as soon as possible, but how to confirm.
Ye Ji frowned, thinking more and more serious problems.
Dai was very happy that she could help Uncle, but Uncle's face became more and more ugly. Thinking that he had done something wrong, Xiaodai lied in his arms honestly, stretched out his little hand to touch Ye Ji's forehead, and slowly smoothed the word "Chuan".
The more Ye Ji thought about it, the bigger his head grew, why are these dead bugs so annoying? Suddenly I felt a cool and soft touch on my forehead, and I felt a lot easier.
Seeing Xiao Der's reproachful look, Ye Ji smiled, "Thanks to our little princess, Her Royal Highness, for saving the entire human race."
Save humanity? Is she? Xiaodai scratched his head embarrassedly, she didn't do anything.
"Master, it has been detected." Xiao Feng finally finished her busy work, and packed all the instruments again, leaving only one sample, "After these plants were attached by the Zerg, they began to Being sucked into its own essence and injected with a liquid similar to anesthesia at the same time, the plant itself has no idea, but will slowly age and die."
And after all, they have lived for hundreds of years, they could have been carefree and continue to live here to reproduce, but now they have been taken away unknowingly. The withered yellow and miserable appearance of the earth, even if it is a robot, it also feels the sorrow of things going wrong.
"How toxic."
"No known Zerg venom has been found, and some residual branches contain a small amount of toxins from the xenophyte itself, but the small amount is basically harmless to the human body."
Is this good news?
"Do you mean that the Zerg are also absorbing the toxins of the xenografts?" Ye Ji asked suddenly, thinking of something.
The Zerg has absorbed it, and the Zerg needs to be tested."
If it is really absorbed by the Zerg, will the ordinary Zerg that were originally non-toxic will mutate, and whether those Zerg that carry venom themselves will evolve the toxicity that humans are not immune to, these things are all To restart the calculation to consider.
No one knows how toxic the alien plants in this forest are, and what will happen when the two merge is unpredictable.
Is humanity really going to perish? Ye Ji looked at the devastated body and felt the heavy responsibility on him for the first time.
"If you want to conduct experiments on the Zerg, you must catch a bug." Xiao Feng said weakly, this is the minimum requirement.
Ye Ji nodded. But where have the worms gone? It was like a locust crossing the border in front of me, only the withered yellows were left everywhere, and there was not a single moving one. After the insects had absorbed it, they all left.
And they lost their goal.
Xiao Feng turned on the reconnaissance device to find the whereabouts of the Zerg, but ended in failure. "Master, there are too many beasts and alien plants that I can't tell the difference." He lowered his head and was very depressed. Since he entered the forest, he has felt that he is a dignified 3S intelligent mecha and a baby-sitter robot. It is very useless, little baby now Can't use it anymore.
But now is not the sad time, Xiaofeng raised his head again, it is his pride to be able to take care of such an excellent cub, and it also has the configuration of a scientific robot, I did not see the test report just now Is it all done by one person? Its effect is also great.
Ye Ji also raised her eyebrows at Xiao Dai, "Come on little baby, it's time for you to play a role."
Xiao Dui pursed his lips and smiled, listened quietly for a while, and then pointed his finger forward to the right. "Little bird said, there is something abnormal there, Huahua."
Ye Ji raised her foot and walked over there, "Why is it abnormal?"
Derpy racked his brains, thinking about how to describe it, "That's right, ugly."
Ugly? Ye Ji scoffed, what's wrong with this. There are all kinds of different plants in this world. Since there are beautiful ones, there are bound to be ugly ones. What’s more, beauty and ugliness are just what humans think of themselves. In fact, sometimes according to the genetic arrangement, the beautiful ones are not necessarily better than those Ugly to senior.
But Xiao Dai kept insisting that it was absolutely abnormal, Ye Ji didn't say anything.
Although the descriptions of those birds are very strange, it proves that there is indeed something unusual in this forest. Derby's diverse sources of information helped them a lot along the way.
