The "hairless monkey" didn't care about this change. In fact, with his current muddle-headed state, he was only focused on the prey beneath him.
Eating was all he had to do at the moment.
However, his eating process was also distorted due to the "abnormality" …
At first, he used his teeth to bite his prey, but at some point in time, all his teeth fell off one by one.
That wasn't all. They also fell off … To be more precise, they were separated. There were also the muscles that his mouth needed to move.
Before that, there was still the mask that covered his face.
Soon, his entire face, including all his facial organs, was separated.
At first, the "parts" that fell off were still barely connected by blood vessels and nerves. But after a few breaths, these connections also fell apart.
Later, even the bones that were pieced together to form the skull were disassembled along the bone gaps, and air leaked out from all sides.
But this person didn't notice it at all!
This was because even though his entire head had been disassembled, and even his brain, which was barely a whole, began to distort, confuse, and churn as it squirmed … he still maintained a basic system framework.
However, what kept these disassembled human body parts together was no longer the original life system that was made up of blood vessels, nerves, skin, flesh, and bones. Instead, they were thread-like, faintly discernible, semi-illusory "lines." They resonated with the chains of light that moved on his body, like electric currents that pierced through the air in a special environment.
These semi-illusory "electric lines" seemed to have some kind of magnetic force, and they could carry out complex exchanges of energy and information.
Under their restraint, the head of the "hairless monkey" that had fallen apart was still a system that continued to operate. Even though the way it operated was completely different from that of a normal creature.
There was no doubt that some unimaginable power was being used. At the same time, some information hidden deep within the head was being steadily transmitted out through a powerful replacement system.
The feeding was still going on, but as the main body of systematic behavior, the "hairless monkeys" no longer relied on chewing. Instead, they pierced the remains of their prey through the "electric lines" and transmitted the strange power over, turning the relatively intact wild donkey carcass into minced meat that was a hundred times finer than the skull that had been dismembered earlier.
Then, the fragments that were broken down later were absorbed by the Alien head, which had broken down a step earlier but still maintained its system. It could be said that it had gone through a deeper fusion …
It could also be considered as eating.
If they didn't care about their sense of belonging, this way of eating was obviously more efficient than the natural and primitive digestive system. It looked cleaner, and there were almost no leftovers.
However, from a visual point of view, such a scene was a little too extreme!
The creatures scattered on this side of the lake were more or less affected. Not far away, the mutated brown bear stopped eating and retreated with its prey, letting out a low snoring sound from its throat. It seemed to be a warning, but it was more to give himself courage.
But to the "hairless monkey" that had just finished eating, it didn't mean much. By the time it finished eating, the head, which had long since changed beyond recognition, actually began to converge inwards under the effects of the electric lines. Countless parts of its original body, regardless of whether or not it still maintained its basic structure, and regardless of what its original biological structure was, were casually pieced together.
In short, its nose wasn't a nose, and its eyes weren't eyes. It was more like a lump of mud mixed together from different waste materials. There was no lack of bone rubbing and penetrating, and it was common to see nerves and blood vessels fluttering and knotting in the air. There was no need to even mention the situation where the epidermal tissues were rubbed together ….
But this kind of phenomenon didn't persist for too long. This complicated and bizarre system clearly possessed some sort of memory, aside from disintegration and stitching.
The enormous and ugly lump of flesh and mud miraculously recovered its original appearance after two or three rounds of rubbing. It was restored to the "hairless monkey", which was the face of a normal human.
During this entire process, the monkey absorbed enough energy to sustain itself, but it also exposed a few things during the continuous disintegration and churning. It was then projected tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"Being able to restore itself is really dog-shit luck …." Luo Nan opened his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "But it seems that this really is the first."
"What's the first?"
Blood Demon's ears were sharp. He heard what Luo Nan said, but he wasn't able to understand what Luo Nan was referring to …. After all, it corresponded to a distant real-time image deep in the hinterland of the old continent. It also involved Luo Nan's exclusive thoughts.
Luo Nan didn't respond, but his originally gloomy brows relaxed a bit.
In a certain sense, Luo Nan's soul cloak was like a satellite hack in a real-time strategy game. It dispelled the fog of war within the scope of the Earth, bringing him convenience that exceeded his imagination.
However, the evil poison pollution that was accidentally brought out from the relay station brought enormous damage to the soul cloak and even to Luo Nan's entire system structure on the mental plane. It also caused the fog of war to once again obscure his field of vision.
There were a few pieces of good news amidst the ruins.
For example, Luo Nan's believers. They used various methods to carry out deep interference effects throughout the world. They still maintained contact with him. They were like casually tossed scouting units. They passed through the fog of war and illuminated observable areas of varying sizes.
The size of these observable areas was clearly proportional to the strength of the scouting units themselves. It was also closely related to Luo Nan's projected attention.
The soul cloak and other structures of the mental system were slowly recovering on the basis of these scouting units. They attempted to be pieced together once more.
There was one more thing besides these scouting units.
As the mica structure took shape, it had a characteristic that was closely related to the water vapor environment. This caused the damaged structure of the mental system to continue its recovery process, and it became a bit entangled with the soul cloak.
Luo Nan didn't see any negative things for the time being, but there were a few unexpected harvests.
Indeed, Luo Nan was currently paying attention to the horned demon roaming the wastelands of the old continent.
This horned demon was originally a tool that Luo Nan had unearthed from the special power of the magneto-optical mica in the offline testing scene. He forcefully controlled and twisted it into a tool. Luo Nan had an additional origin with the embryonic form of the mica structure.
Back then, Luo Nan had only used him as a carrier and fulcrum to clash with a true god. Luo Nan didn't expect this tool to actually produce an additional effect at this time.
The thick cloud structure formed by the interweaving of the mica and the soul cloak around the horned demon seemed to have been stimulated by some sort of stirring. It became exceptionally lively.
On the other hand, the analysis of the horned demon's messed up body and soul frame was exceptionally sharp and efficient.
This wasn't just reflected in the excavation of the horned demon's memories. It was an extremely ideal reference model … … At the very least, Luo Nan had used the mica to dissociate tens of thousands of living beings from last night until now. None of them were as complete as the horned demon!
Originally, it was just a seed that was casually planted into the soil. Now, it was giving birth to a pleasantly surprised sprout … …
Alright, it was quite awkward to give the horned demon such a position.
And now wasn't the best time to do experiments. In any case, whether it was the mica or the horned demon, they both had a set of basic behavior that could maintain and continue their existence even though they didn't have self-awareness.
Right now, the mica was still in the initial stages of self-proliferation and evolution. There was still an unknown distance between it and the true magneto-optical mica. It was also limited by the broken state of the soul cloak, so it was unable to rapidly expand.
With the horned demon as a support point, it would be good to temporarily open a sub-base and see what the results would be.
Luo Nan quickly collected his thoughts. He needed a simple and straightforward answer more.
The horned demon's memories were a very good source.
"So it's like this." Luo Nan's voice was a bit clearer. It carried an emotion of relief.
A human's memory information wasn't a clear video stored in the space of the brain. However, Luo Nan used multiple methods to search and compare back and forth. He still possessed a relatively accurate answer. So he knew:
This was the first time the horned demon and the others entered the 70-format laboratory. What was it like before the equipment was disassembled?
The more he knew, the more he felt that the current booth was unsightly.
"What an eyesore."
Probably because someone had "heard" what he said, there were strange sounds of "gurgling" and "clicking" in the booth area. Many people heard it, but they couldn't identify the source of the sound for a while.
This bit of abnormality couldn't be hidden from Blood Demon and Wan Liuhua. The gazes of the two cut across a few important nodes, intersecting with each other in the middle. But they happened to coincidentally take a step back.
The booth suddenly swayed almost in sync with the movements of the two Extraordinaries. At the same time, the sharp sounds of metal cracking and heavy objects being pulled and scraped rang out. It nearly pierced the eardrums.
Many people on the booth cried out in alarm. Some unlucky people even fell off … … They weren't at the edge of the booth. But the problem was that Luo Nan's' restoration 'didn't move the equipment, but the booth itself!
The arc-shaped booth cracked from its roots. Even though it was a relatively complex and precise steel structure, there were still quite a few auction equipment installed below it. The total weight of the equipment on the stage was several tons … …
But it still moved and "tore" away!
The originally ordinary arc-shaped booth's front was forcefully pulled forward, forming a structure similar to that of a bull's horn.
Of course, some people understood in their hearts that this actually had to be combined with the back half of the booth that was barely intact to form an overall layout similar to that of a crab.
And this sort of deformation came at the cost of completely destroying the booth's structure. As a result, enormous cracks were formed, smashing all of the booth's preset functions. It also destroyed the supporting points of the booth's steel structure. It was reasonable to say that the next step would be a destructive collapse … …
But the final visual effect was actually pretty good!
Every single piece of equipment from the 70-format research institute was still stable and solid, even though they were only supported by a small half of a broken steel plate and a support frame. It was unknown where this support came from, but there was also a sense of ancientness and vicissitudes that were like ruins.
So much so that the occasional sparks of electricity from the damaged equipment below the stage could be used as supporting elements to set off. It was like a surreal painting that had been erased of rationality.
