"Look at this place, it's whispering …"
This was a dark underground space. This place used to be the area where the fungus created the monsters in the sea, but now there were only some scales on the ground and an empty cave.
If one looked at it directly, that was indeed the case, but there was a creature and a metal spider here … It was obvious that something special was hidden here.
Cryopteris and the metal spider were still in this place, investigating some things here.
"Can you hear it talking?"
Now, they were in a corner of the cave, staring at something in the corner and carefully observing it.
This thing looked like an egg-shaped object formed by a pile of mycelium. It was not originally in this place, but buried tens of centimeters underground, but it was dug out by the metal spider.
"I can hear it talking." The metal spider poked the egg made of mycelium and said: "It's sending out a message, my latest detection system can sense it."
"It might be hiding something inside," Cryopteris said: "Open it and take a look, maybe there will be a surprising effect."
"Opening it might lose its effect," the metal spider said: "I need to take a look at it. "I have to take it back and study it carefully," the metallic spider said. "That way, I'll know the source of the signal and what it is that commanded the fungi to create the 'Plague Dragon' from afar."
As it said that, it picked up the egg made of mycelium with its forelimbs, then opened a hole in its head and put the egg inside.
"They don't seem to want us to leave," Cryopteris looked around, the ground of the cave not far in front of it shook a few times. Then something came out from there.
These things looked like … Voidfolk. But they were covered in a layer of white. They were very similar to the infected Voidfolk, but they were still holding weapons in their hands.
"They really do have a commander," the metal spider pointed at an infected Voidfolk with its forelimbs and said: "Kill that one."
The Voidfolk it pointed at was not holding a weapon in its hand, but a square-shaped object, and this object was shining, it seemed to be a video device.
This strange thing was either completely useless, or it was a secret weapon. The latter was more likely.
"Why don't you kill it yourself?" However, Cryopteris did not seem to want to move. Instead, it said, "Or... is this machine of yours powerless?"
"You …"
The metal spider wanted to say something. One of the Voidfolk suddenly spoke. It spoke in a hoarse voice, "… Put that … down …"
Bang! As soon as its voice fell, its head suddenly bloomed like a flower, and a large amount of liquid mixed with bacterial dust spilled all over the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ' Soon after, the other Voidfolk also suffered the same fate. They all fell to the ground in an instant, and their heads were not intact.
"It seems that their brain is still the main part of their body that controls them." The Metal Spider retracted its forelimbs that had just shot the other party's head and said to the Cryopteris, "Let's go."
"Why don't you talk to them?" Cryopteris said as he walked, "We should talk to them to get some information."
"That's meaningless. This information is enough."
The Metal Spiders and Cryopteris returned to the same route they came from, but just as they were about to leave. Suddenly, they found... something strange.
"There's a change here."
When they left the cave and reached the ruins of the underground street on the upper level. The Metal Spiders and Cryopteris stopped at a place.
This place was originally an underground street shop. It was originally filled with rubble, but now the rubble was gone, revealing a relatively intact space inside.
If it was a Voidfolk with a personality, they might think that they had remembered something wrong when they saw this scene, but these two creatures were not like that.
The Metal Spiders... the imam remembered very clearly that there was a pile of rubble here.
"Maybe those white things just now dug it out." Cryopteris said, "Obviously, there are more of them."
"This place is strange..." The Metal Spiders had already walked into the shop. This shop used to sell video equipment, but now these things were scattered all over the ground.
"This thing can still be used." The Metal Spiders walked two steps and picked up a cube on the ground. Then, it poked it a few times, and suddenly a three-dimensional image popped up from the cube.
"Hello, user, please enter the password." That was what was written on the image.
Then, the metal spider threw this aside and picked up the other devices. It opened them and found that almost all of them were like this.
There were no exceptions, but why? It was strange that these things were still intact because this place had experienced various situations, such as flooding and earthquakes...
Furthermore, the Voidfolk here should have moved away beforehand. These devices were not heavy, so why did the owner of this shop leave them here?
"This is caused by the fungi." Therefore, the imam came to this conclusion.
"They must have gotten it from somewhere and placed it here. They are trying to trick us." The Metal Spiders poked a few more times, and then the image popped up, "Password error."
"What are they going to do with this?" Cryopteris also tried to poke it a few times. As he did so, he said, "Are these devices also part of the message transmission?"
"Password correct, login confirmed, processing message." After Cryopteris poked, the image made a sound, as if …
"Why is it correct?" Cryopteris was slightly surprised. The Metal Spiders immediately leaned over and looked at the image, "What did you enter?"
"I typed in 'roll'." Roaring Bug said, "Could it be that these creatures also like to roll? But they don't seem to know how to roll at all, no matter which one it is... "
"The target's location has been confirmed, now preparing to attack the target."
"This is..." The Metal Spiders noticed that there was a red dot flashing on the image, and there was nothing else.
At the same time, on the ruins on the ground.
"Boom!" A high-speed Voidfolk fighter flew across the sky. Today, it was monitoring the ruins of the city as usual.
Although it was rumored that something had happened in the sea, it had nothing to do with the pilots of the air force. Therefore, this Voidfolk was very leisurely. It usually liked to play games, eat some snacks, or chat with other Voidfolk while it was driving.
However, its leisure time did not go so smoothly this time, because ….
"What... is that?"
It saw something suddenly fly up from the ground in front of it. This thing flew up high like a missile, then turned and flew in another direction.
Seeing this, the pilot immediately flew the fighter and chased after it. After a few seconds, the thing flew down and hit the ground directly...
"Boom!"
After a loud explosion, a large cloud of white smoke rose from the place where it hit. The smoke instantly spread to a large area around it.
Seeing this, the pilot immediately turned the fighter around. He decided to go back and report the situation.
At the same time, the Metal Spiders and Cryopteris had arrived on the ground.
They were now standing in the cloud of smoke. Here, they observed the situation around them and at the same time, they were testing the nature of the smoke.
"This is bacterial dust." Soon, the Metal Spiders came to a conclusion, "They have learned how to launch these things to attack. It seems that this is the main driving force."
As it spoke, it walked to the center of the fog, where there was a piece of machinery.
"This is installed on those small missiles … It seems that they already know how to remove this thing and use it to launch their own bacterial dust," the Metal Spiders said. "And those imaging devices seem to be used as controllers."
"No … It should be a target locator. It doesn't have a direct control effect."
Cryopteris said, "Are you saying that they have started to learn the technology of 'random monsters'?"
"They know how to use all kinds of things," the Metal Spiders said. "Whether it's technology or anything else, there's not much difference between them. There's just a small problem."
"Is this something they know themselves, or is it something else that taught them?"
"And …"
The Metal Spiders were still holding the imaging device they had picked up earlier. They took it out and adjusted it, and a lot of images were displayed on it.
"It shows that they have also made a lot of these 'bacterial dust missiles'. Even under the surveillance of random monsters, they can still make so many of them …"
Cryopteris also took a look. The image now showed a map of the area. On the map, there were a lot of red dots that were densely distributed.
"Are these all?" Cryopteris said. "How can they make so many of them?
"Maybe they used something left behind by the original military base here … but the actual situation is not clear," the Metal Spiders said. "But what is certain is that they should be preparing to launch an attack on a certain place."
"While those random monsters are concerned about the situation at the bottom of the sea, there will be a lot of things happening on land. I think I should tell them … about the arrival of danger. Of course, most importantly, I want to study … what is' behind 'these things."
"Also, I have something for you to do … Maya."
