"A long, long time ago … actually, not too long ago, it was when the fungal infection appeared in the city."
"You didn't try to roll on the ground, but tried to scream and escape from the city, but you didn't notice that a lot of fungal dust had been rolling in the air, and they came to a certain place."
The fungal dust sank into the sea.
Maya had a lot of speculations about this series of situations … it thought the main process should be like this.
A fungal dust that hasn't started to 'germinate' won't die because of the seawater, so it can be preserved in the seawater environment.
These fungal dust, for some reason, gathered in large numbers in one place … which was where the trench was now.
There must be something in it, some creature or something, that transported the fungal dust into the sea, to the place where the waste was buried.
The waste was not buried there at first, but directly thrown into the trench. At first, no one dug the seabed to bury the waste.
But later, it was buried for some reason, but that wasn't the point … the point was that the fungal dust began to grow after it reached the sea.
Close to the place where the waste was placed, the fungal dust would be affected by the 'radiation' of the waste, and their cell nuclei began to undergo rapid changes.
The nucleus of fungi was not the same as that of ordinary creatures. Most of the information in them was' encrypted 'and quite complex, but it would also be affected by various factors and' mutated. '
These mutations were random, and most of them were useless or harmful. But there were also beneficial ones.
Different from ordinary creatures. The fungus itself had a rather unique … system. To solve this problem, the fungal dust that produced various harmful mutations would be absorbed by other fungal dust. After it was determined to be harmful, it would not grow.
And the fungal dust that had undergone beneficial mutations would grow rapidly.
Maya didn't know how fungi determined whether their various mutations were harmful or harmless to the current situation. This was probably … something only they knew.
Because of this special system, they were basically not afraid of any virus, because fungal cells infected by a virus would immediately stop functioning, and the virus could not spread between them.
But most viruses would be directly absorbed by fungi as food, and a few viruses that could infect cell nuclei would encounter this situation where they couldn't spread. So far, no viruses have been found that can harm fungi.
This could be because the complex structure of their original nucleus hid more secrets … or so Maya guessed. It seemed that Lin had studied this before, but she had never discussed it with Maya.
Therefore, the fungus was able to use waste materials to rapidly mutate and create something useful.
In short, under the influence of the waste, a special kind of bacterial dust was produced. This bacterial dust could secrete a layer of grease-like substance.
They seemed to have sacrificed their ability to travel at high speed, but were able to use the oil to filter out large amounts of nutrients from the seawater.
They are not completely resistant to seawater because they do not grow in seawater. However, they would not die. Instead, they would slowly secrete grease to cover their entire body.
Then. They allowed the highly infectious fungi to live in the oil, so that they wouldn't be affected by the seawater.
From the start, these fungi weren't … very powerful.
This was because they couldn't directly resist the seawater, and at the same time, their growth rate wasn't very fast. Although they could 'live' in other dust, other dust couldn't do much in the sea.
Later, Maya discovered that this' grease fungus' had other uses.
That was to strengthen the deep-sea behemoth, the Plague Dragon.
When the behemoth found the fungus growing at the bottom of the trench, it ate them all. Although Maya's Cryopteris didn't directly see it eat the fungus, it could tell from the traces on the ground and the disappearance of the fluorescent fungus.
After the behemoth ate it, its body also changed … its wounds were healed, and at the same time, its muscles were strengthened, its speed became faster, its strength became stronger, and its defensive capabilities were the same.
Originally, the behemoth didn't dare to directly attack the submarine team, but now it dared to attack at will and eliminate the team.
Maya guessed that this type of fungus wasn't used to spread in the sea, but was used for the behemoth to eat. These things could greatly strengthen the behemoth.
And the target of the fungus … should still be the land. The behemoth's attack here was just a 'diversion'. Soon, the land would be attacked by the fungus, and because the Voidfolk were paying attention here, the land's defenses would be weakened.
… Because there was nothing to do here, Maya speculated a lot and told some of her thoughts to the imam.
… At the same time, on the imam's side …
"Is that what you think?"
The imam was in his own laboratory, replying to Maya's message, "I have other ideas about the fungus, but now I have more important things to deal with."
Thinking about it, the imam closed the image of his communication with Maya and opened another image.
'Boom!'
When this image was opened, there was a loud explosion, and a large amount of smoke and fire appeared in the imam's vision.
"Don't let it near there! Get rid of it! "
This was the first colony of the new world, and the sound of explosions and gunfire echoed here. Dozens of metal spiders were now in a circle, and in their circle was a large circular astral gate.
Around them were a large number of armed bandits.
The imam went around the group of bandits and let the metal spiders come here, but before the imam could open the gate … the bandits suddenly appeared outside the colony and immediately attacked the colony.
Most of the colony's residents had either escaped or been killed. The Rogues attacked the Astral Gate without any hindrance and then launched a frenzied attack on the Imam's metal spiders. In the battle, the Imam killed many Rogues, but the Rogues also destroyed many metal spiders.
Now, the remaining metal spiders were fighting under the gate, and they were all protecting one of the spiders that was opening the gate.
This gate wasn't that easy to open, and it was tightly sealed, so the best way was to … melt it.
One metal spider was responsible for this task, and the others were protecting it. Now, it was almost done.
One could see from the cracks that … there was a whole new world behind this gate, not the mother ball of the Voidfolk, and not a world that the imam knew of.
