How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 31 Escape

After a while, the thunderstorm gradually subsided, as if it had never appeared before, and the sky returned to the usual orange-red sky.

During this period, maybe it was timid, or cautious, or out of emotions that even Hogu himself didn't understand, it didn't take the initiative to respond to that message, and kept absolutely silent throughout the whole process, like a block Stone.

In the short period of time from encountering tornadoes to thunderstorms, the amount of information given to Hogu was so huge that he couldn't digest it for a while.

Huo Gu recovered from his daze, his mind was full of shock, and at the same time he was overwhelmed by great fear.

The reason why people are in awe of darkness is because darkness represents the unknown, and it is for the same reason that people fear abnormal phenomena beyond common sense.

During the Hadean period, the birth of "intelligence" was supposed to be impossible. At this time, the planetary environment did not form the conditions for the birth of "intelligence", and life was still in the initial stage, and micro-bacteria with double-stranded DNA as genetic material were born. , can be regarded as the top life form in this era.

Huogu itself cannot be used as an example, because it is a time travel, and the source of its birth is not the stage of the Hadean Era. It took nearly forty-six years for life on earth to evolve from the initial microorganisms to humans in order to breed "intelligence". Hundreds of millions of years!

Things that go beyond the norm can easily lead to ideas and logic beyond the norm.

alien? Atmospheric life? Same groupthink? Traveler? ...

"No, now is not the time to think about this. The current amount of information is too small to make an accurate judgment."

Huo Gu, who immediately calmed down, shook off those wild thoughts in his mind. There is no doubt about the existence of the other party. Now the problem Huo Gu is facing is how to deal with this situation.

After the thunderstorm dissipated, Huogu did not receive similar information again. The other party seemed to think that Huogu didn't have the ability to communicate, so he chose to leave.

Of course, it is also possible to hide and observe in the dark. This possibility is very high compared to the former, and those field biologists on the earth often do this kind of thing.

No matter what, Huo Gu can't stay here any longer. Although it is a "home" that has been exhausted, this "home" is being taken over by a super scary guy who doesn't know whether it is good or bad, whose body is unknown, and who can control the wind and thunder at will. Keep an eye on it.

In Huogu's impression, the mice in the laboratory on the earth have never had a good end, even if they have never offended anyone.

"I have to leave, I can't hesitate, any luck is a stumbling block!"

After a bit of self-awareness, Huogu issued instructions to the titanium screw, making it carefully agitate the water storage cavity, gradually drifting from the inside of the harbor to the outside of the harbor.

Due to the quality of the titanium snail itself, this process is very slow, but fortunately, this way of moving like floating driftwood consumes negligible amount of biological energy. Even if there is no nutrient supply, this method can maintain the overall health. cell life activities.

With great difficulty, he bypassed the harbor reef that resisted the impact of the waves. At the same time, Huogu also regretted that he built such a long harbor reef in the first place.

The next process is much faster, riding on the surging waves, with the help of this force, you can leave this sea area soon.

The outside of the harbor is not completely visible. The group of gourds who were still collecting organic materials before now are like robots that have disconnected the signal and are dying, motionless, half-floating and half-sinking in the water.

The existence of these gourds can provide cover for the departure of the titanium screw. During this period, it only needs to disguise itself as a 'robot' that is also disconnected.

Ocean waves are chaotic, and things like ocean currents can only be seen on the scale of the planet to see its directionality.

As time goes by, the gourd individuals drifting together near Tiluo gradually decrease. They are all pulled by the ocean current, break away from the drifting large force, and go to unknown sea areas.

Hogu didn't intend to correct their course, because he was worried that doing so would expose his existence.

I don’t know how long I have been drifting like this, and Huogu has also left the drifting army under the influence of the current. At this time, he is already quite far away from the volcanic island. No matter how Huogu corrects the viewing distance of the vitreous body, Can no longer capture that island.

Huogu came to a new sea area, and it began to use the visual system of the titanium screw to observe the surrounding environment.

There is still a volcano, but it is slightly different from the cone volcanoes of the past, a fissure volcano that provides material flow to this sea area.

The shape is different, and the smoke column erupted is also different from what I have seen before. The smoke column rising from the submarine volcano is stretched, like a curtain from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea.

Huo Gu was overjoyed, isn't this environment suitable for him to hide?

Vigilantly using the visual system to observe the surroundings, and after confirming that there is no abnormality, the water storage chamber of the titanium screw that has not been used for a long time began to agitate, and the eyes plunged into this submarine maze built by volcanic smoke columns.

After entering, Hogu carefully slid the fins on both sides, avoiding the curtain carefully, trying not to make contact with it. There are a lot of air bubbles in these submarine curtains. Within the area covered by the curtain, the buoyancy that water can produce and air Approximately, as long as Huogu enters accidentally, he will fall into the crater in a blink of an eye and become a charcoal-grilled snail.

While moving cautiously, Huogu began to analyze the lava fluidity of this volcanic group. If it is lava with poor fluidity, it is prone to eruption, and the strong current generated is likely to push it into the curtain, so it needs to investigate first. some.

In this labyrinthine area, Huogu found a towering seabed rock, which should be formed by the rapid accumulation of lava when it erupted.

With the help of the fins on both sides, the titanium snail slowly landed on this towering rock, and Hogu's nerves were also relaxed. During this time, it has been tense.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is that thing?"

"It or them?"

"And what kind of life is it that can control the natural disasters in the natural environment so freely?"

"Reality, do you dare to be more reasonable? Even if you like to joke, there should be a limit, right?"

Huo Gu complained that he could only hear it. He needed a way to vent his inner pressure.

"Wait, when the other party asked, it meant 'I', not 'we', that is to say, it knew of my existence from the very beginning, instead of treating the individual cell cluster as a single intelligent life..."

"Then the question is, how did the other party obtain this information?"

"Or, my time travel is because the other party is playing tricks?"

Hogu remembered what he said on TV—if time travel really happened on a certain day, I would be more inclined to think that it was a man-made event, an event triggered by the subjective behavior of an unknown civilization in the universe.
