Starting from Zero

Because of Lilith's horrible devouring ability, we finally pushed the tunnel to the inside for three to four kilometers unimpeded. However, after this, the road ahead of us suddenly disappeared.

Yes, the passage is only three or four kilometers deep, and further ahead is a mixed wall made of wood and mud blocking the way. This wood is not the kind of planks or sticks that are artificially processed, but the tangled roots of the tree. The roots of these trees are entwined together, and there is a large amount of dirt in the gap that blocks the entire passage, and there is no gap at all.

The huge mass of meat is constantly squirming and shrinking in front of us, occasionally throwing out some invisible rotten meat, and finally turning into a human-shaped mass of meat, and then the color of the surface of the meat mass It began to change, from the original colorful color to a slightly pink flesh color that instantly covered the whole body, and then the special parts of hair, eyes, and nails were differentiated. Lilith once again appeared in us as a beautiful mature girl. In front of.

"Master, I have cleaned the monster, but I can't eat this mud anymore!"

I nodded and said: "You just swallowed so many monsters, didn't you? One suitable for punching holes?"

Lilith's ability is more than just swallowing. There are three main abilities of her, or her abilities are divided into three steps. The 1st Step is just swallowing, which can destroy hostile targets in large numbers. Although this ability has a poor effect on high-level creatures, it is definitely considered a miscellaneous killer. No matter how many enemies there are, this kind of devouring ability can only give us experience. Second Step is feedback, that is, extract the excellent genes that have been swallowed by the lifeform, screen them and feed them back to my master, and this improvement can use me as a medium to influence the genes of all my pets and strengthen them together. Speaking of which Second Step is actually Lilith's biggest role. Third Step, that is, the directed evolution of Lilith herself. This ability allows Lilith to evolve into a powerful combat creature suitable for the current situation based on the various genes extracted before and quickly enter the battle. Because it is a targeted evolution, this form of Lilith is very suitable for dealing with the more powerful creatures. Even if the overall strength is weaker than that of the opponent, due to targeted evolution, the opponent's special ability may be ineffective against the opponent, and the opponent will have the ability that the opponent fears most. Under the premise that this attribute completely restrains the opponent, even if the level is weaker, it can still easily suppress the opponent. These are Lilith's three major abilities.

Now what I ask Lilith to use is the evolutionary ability of the three abilities specifically used to deal with single monsters, but I don't want her to deal with monsters, just let her dig a hole.

Lilith thought about it for a while after hearing my order, and then said: "It seems that I do have a biological gene that is very suitable for digging holes. Then you stay a little behind and I will dig a hole." As soon as Lilith finished speaking, her body quickly swelled, and in the blink of an eye she became a giant centipede-shaped creature with a length of one hundred meters. A large number of tree roots were clipped with a click, and then centipede's claws surged up, and in twos or twos, they smashed the soil and drilled in.

Looking at the huge body disappearing into the mud, we immediately followed in. However, although the hole was dug out, the situation inside the hole was a mess.

During underwater will raise dust just like on land, the difference is that the dust in the air dissipates quickly, but this water will not work. We followed Lilith all the way into the cave and felt that there was mud everywhere, even my dark vision could not see anything at all. My dark vision can only see things in the dark, not a perspective eye. The mud suspended in the mud blocks the line of sight, so even if I have dark vision, I still can't see things.

Fortunately, Anna’s sonar detection and Chili’s thought-power induction are not affected, so we don’t have to worry about hitting the wall.

The passage that Lilith helped us dug was only 20 meters long. After crossing that area, the mud disappeared without a trace, and we re-entered a piece of water.

After Lilith returned to her normal shape and gave up the passage, we finally saw what the new waters looked like.

This is a fairly small area of ​​water, and the overall look is the size of an indoor basketball court. However, it is worth mentioning that the environment here is also bright, not as dark as the outside. However, although there is light here, it is not the same as the bright waters where Mermaid Race lives. The water itself shines. The water here is normal. The reason why it glows is because there is a crystal ball that glows suspended in the center of the water.

"It seems that this is what we are looking for." said the small dragon woman who turned into a human form.

Chili also nodded and said: "I can feel this thing is interfering with my thought wave."

"Speaking of interference, how do I think this thing is changing my genes Arranged?" Lilith said suddenly.

"Change the genetic arrangement?" I looked at Lilith in surprise and asked: "What kind of change?"

Lilith was not sure about replied: "Neither do I I know what kind of change it is. Anyway, my genes are being affected, and many gene chains have connection errors. Regardless of how I can restore my own genes, this thing has no effect on me."

Listen to Lily Silk said that, the small dragon woman immediately asked: "Will this affect our genes?" Lilith shook her head and said: "There will definitely be an impact, but because of my existence, your genetic sequence You can get corrections from me, so as long as you leave the source of interference, you can return to normal."

"Does it affect genes and mental waves?" I looked at the luminous body in confusion and said: "This thing Is it that the radioactive materials are not made? How come it sounds similar to the effect of nuclear radiation?"

"Are there nuclear materials in the game?" Chili asked suspiciously.

The small dragon female shook her head and said: "I haven't found it so far, but since almost everything in reality can be copied in the game, it's not incomprehensible to find nuclear matter, right?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lilith, as a familiar who has never been to the real world, was completely at a loss for our dialogue. "What kind of substance is the nuclear substance you are talking about? You seem to know some secrets that I don't know. Master, they are also your favorites anyway, do you want to be fair!" Lilith said Without the form, I started acting like a baby when I stuck it on my body. However, if I have never seen her eating and just see her now, then I might be confused, but after seeing her as she is, I guess I would dare to treat her as a woman. Goblin-level super abnormal talents came out. In my opinion, Lilith is more scary than the painted skin in the strange novel. Somehow, she is just an evil spirit with a layer of human skin. Anyway, the layer of skin you touch is still beautiful, but Lilith is from It's a monster from the inside out!

I didn't care about Lilith's feelings, so I put her back into the training space. As an excellent animal trainer classification player, the most important ability is not how to take care of the pet, but how to give proper care and majesty according to the character of the pet. For example, people like Ling are basically Cleopatra. She is very capable, she can be alone when you are away, and can fully assist you when you are there. For a familiar like this, all you need is to respect and ensure that you are strong. Let her admire you and feel that you value her very much. This is enough. If you treat her like a little girl, the end result will only be counterproductive. On the other hand, it is necessary to adopt a parental attitude for a disagreeable monster like Princess. Basically, you can treat her as your disobedient daughter. As for Lilith...It should be said that she is that kind of mistress-type demon familiar. Although this analogy is a bit weird, it is indeed quite appropriate. The policy you need to take to deal with a familiar like her is to ensure your absolute authority and don’t listen to any of her suggestions. Even if she is right, you must approve her first, and then use other excuses to prove the suggestion. The correctness, in short, don't let her have any sense of superiority, because this kind of person can lift her tail into the sky as long as she gives her some color. The more you put on an aloof and remote posture to such an existence, the more she will desperately stick to it. To put it bluntly, this kind of character is the so-called scumbag. The better you are to her, the less she will take you seriously, the more cruel you are to her, the more she will confess you as her own father.

Without Lilith’s interference, our conversation will be much more convenient, but we must first figure out what this thing is.

"Chili, check if there are other water inlets here?"

The chili closed his eyes and felt for a while, and then said: "There should be none."

I nodded, and then directly pulled a steel plate out of the Fenglong space, and then let Inverite and Brigitte join hands to weld the steel plate to the wall of the opening, turning this space into a closed space. .

After completing the sealing work, I summoned the rose vine to grow a circle in the hole, supporting the steel plate. Now that there is water pressure, it doesn’t matter. After a while, when we pump out the water, the steel plate may not be able to block the external pressure.

After the rose vine confirmed that the reinforcement was completed, I opened the door of the earth and put all the water in the cave into the lake in the back garden of the mother of the earth. After the water in the space is empty, we can finally take a good look at this thing with the help of the sunlight shining from the door of the earth.

Before I thought this was a crystal ball, but until now, under the sun, I found out that it is actually more like a jade ball. It is not transparent in itself, but shows a mixed color of green and yellow buds.

The volume of this sphere is about the same size as a five kg shot put, and it may be slightly larger than the shot put. The surface of the sphere is very smooth, without any unevenness or cracks. But this smoothness is only the result of naked eye's judgment, because we are not sure whether this thing is really radial, so we didn't dare to touch it at all.

Because the water in the cave has been completely drained, I gave summon all the familiars that have been in the real world to help me see what this is. As a result, everyone did not find anything other than the extremely strong energy of this thing. Although in the end Ling and Xiaochun both guessed that this thing is probably some kind of radioactive element, there is no nuclear physics equipment in the game at all. Just guessing in performance.

"It seems that if you want to know what this is, you can only take it back and study it!"

"At least we know how the monster here came from. "Chili said.

Small dragon female also nodded and said: "Yes, if this is really radioactive material, then it is reasonable to have some mutant monsters here."

"Then first Go back with this stuff and see if you can complete the task. If the task is completed, it is said that this thing caused the flood of monsters. However, if this thing is really radioactive material, it is obviously impossible to bring it back. It is a pity that I don’t have it with me. Bring a lead plate!"

"If such a large piece is really radioactive material, how can it be blocked by the lead plate? At least you need to use a multi-layer lead bottle. Besides, the game does not deal with the metal such as lead. The usage is not large, and normal people are impossible to carry lead plates with them." Ling suggested: "However, even if there is no lead plate, we can use other things instead. Lead plates can block radiation because heavy metals can absorb radiation waves. So if you don’t have a lead plate, you can use a gold plate, but the cost is a bit higher."

"Gold?" When I heard it, I remembered it. It seems that gold can also block radiation. Of course, considering the value of gold, normal people are impossible to use gold to block radiation in reality, which is purely a manifestation of money and nowhere to spend. However, I am different here. Although the gold in the game is also a precious metal, it becomes a stall if you compare it with fine gold, mellow silver, and so on. Besides, I'm just temporarily using gold to make a bottle to store this thing, and when I go back to take it out, wouldn't it be the same to melt the gold into something else?

Since there is a way, it is easy to handle. First open the Phoenix Dragon Space, and then crash-bang hundreds of gold bricks out of it. It's not the real gold bricks that are about the same size as the mahjong tiles, but the big gold bricks that are really as long as the red bricks and slightly thinner than the red bricks. In reality, this thing should be called a gold ingot. Generally, if the manpower is not enough, you can't move it if you give you a piece.

As soon as hundreds of gold ingots were poured out, they were immediately supported by the chili, and then Ivorite released flames to melt the gold bricks, and then the chili sculpted them into a Quite thick, airtight jar with lid. Finally, Frost and Snow was responsible for the cooling. After the gold solidified, I stuffed the suspected radioactive material in it, followed by the cooperation of pepper, Iverite and Frost and Snow again, closing the lid and melting it with the tank body. The whole is finally cooled and solidified. Now the entire gold tank has become a completely sealed structure that cannot be opened. The only way to take out the contents is to destroy the tank body.

After confirming that this thing was ok, I threw the jar into the Phoenix Dragon space, and then took back most of the magic pets, leaving only the small dragon girl and the chili pepper.

Close the door of the earth, let the rose vines also remove the support, and then the water pressure outside will automatically punch a big hole in the steel plate that closed the road. Re-entered the water world and returned along the same path. As a result, there were no monsters left, and none of them knew where they had gone.

Because I think that the suspected radioactive material is the target of the mission, I don’t care about the monsters, and I just returned to the bright waters where the gravity stabilizer is located. I just didn’t expect that I just got here. I saw piles of monsters hitting the door of the cave we just welded there. At this time, the door has been hit and pitted like a sandy beach after the rain, but the steel plate is thick enough, deformed and deformed, after all, it didn't fall apart.

The level of these messing up monsters is not high. Chili used to control all the monsters, but when we rescued the Mermaid Race technicians inside, they were met. The other party's cursing. Obviously these technicians were terrified. But think about it, if you put you in a container and throw it into Jurassic Park, and then a group of carnivorous dinosaurs hit the container desperately, and you watch the thin steel plate of the container get a little bit deformed. , What is it like in my heart? Anyway, normal people will definitely be scared crazy.

Faced with the censure of the technicians, we have no way to refute it. After all, we were negligent. But this is a reminder for us. At least it makes me understand that taking away the source of mutation is not the entire content of the mission. We have to clean up the monster that has been mutated.

"Damn, this area of ​​water is so big, when we have to find every monster?" Although I have made a decision, when I stand at the entrance of the dark water again When, still frowned. This ghost place is not the kind of environment where you can see the entire area at a glance. If those monsters take the initiative to kill them, it would be tragic if they were determined to play hide-and-seek with me. Although I can always catch them in the end, I don't want to consume them!

Chili also said: "Those monsters are so easy to deal with, but this place is too big! It is not a small amount of work to ensure that one without missing all the monsters is killed."

p>

The small dragon girl suddenly said, "By the way, why are we looking for monsters? Just let them come to us?"

"Let them come to us ?" I was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "Yeah. Why am I so stupid! That mutation source is simply not a mission target, so it's a mission prop!"

Before we found so many monsters near that mutation source, that's not to say The source of mutation has created so many monsters in an instant, but it will attract monsters to actively approach, so it will cause the monsters to gather in groups near it. At that time, the thing was blocked by a wall made of tree roots and soil in a separate water area. As a result, it attracted so many monsters. If we take it out directly here, the monster in the entire water area is not good for the horse itself. Come here to die?

"Hehe, it's easy now." I cut open the golden jar containing the mutation source, then took out the mutation source and gave it to Lilith, who was just released by me. All I had to do was wait. NS.

However, what I originally thought was a perfect plan went wrong. It's not that the source of mutation didn't attract the monsters, nor that there were powerful individuals in the monster group that we couldn't handle, but that Lilith had a problem.

"Lilith? What's the matter with you?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest Power.)
