Blue Star

"Hey, it can't be done, I'm about to have a cerebral thrombosis." Dao Porling sat up with his head supported, his world was spinning and he couldn't tell the north, south, east, and west.

After finally getting dizzy, he turned his head and saw Mimir whose hair was blown into a ball of spikes.Most of the fine hair on the skin has been scorched, and at first glance it looks like the head has been stuffed into soot and crushed twice.

The sphere formed by the magnetic fluid originally contained a hemisphere of water, but at this moment, his clothes were dry and not affected by any water.On the contrary, he actually had the illusion that his body was electrified.

"I seem to have been struck by lightning just now..." Mimir looked wearily at Dao Porling, whose hair was more severely shattered, and suddenly smiled, "Old man, why are you popcorn?"

Daoporing snorted, and half of his beard, which had been carefully braided, was cut short, and the scorched part was curly and bald.

Putting on the mechanical glasses that fell to his neck, he said angrily after seeing clearly, "You only have popcorn, and you still have steel wool balls."

The two were in high spirits, and did not show any stress reaction after being swept by the magnetic field.

Gu Li heaved a sigh of relief, frowned and looked at the magnetic fluid left on the ground, then rubbed the ring with the dry crystal ore embedded in his thumb thoughtfully.

When he was running his talent, the magnetic field around his body would become very fast, most of the time it would rotate in a clockwise direction.

However, when the mood fluctuates, the magnetic field will be chaotic, and the direction of operation will alternate between forward and reverse.If particles are doped in this chaotic alternating magnetic field, a certain amount of friction will be produced.

Just now, he went down the water from the tunnel, in order to prevent the other two people in the magnetic fluid from suffocating due to the water flow, he deliberately used part of the dry magnetic field.

After quickly draining the water, it happened that the ferrofluid was rubbing against each other, so it was no wonder that his skin could feel itching and tingling one after another.

biological electromagnetic waves.

He once heard Gu An say that the magnetic field in their bodies would radiate a kind of biological microwave even if they were not driven.This kind of biological microwave can communicate and influence the surrounding organisms.

Kirch once recorded that in the ancestors more than 100 years ago, this kind of bioelectricity was brought to the extreme by the ancestors, and it was even so powerful that it could directly kill an adult cow in three seconds.

It's just that with the weakening of genetic genes, this kind of bioelectricity becomes weaker and weaker.In his and Gu An's generation, it's almost unbearable.

Unexpectedly, in the field close to the Fourth Goddess Pillar, he could use the static electricity generated by the magnetic fluid and the dry magnetic field to stimulate this talent hidden in his body.

The thumb turns the ring embedded with dry crystal ore, controlling a small amount of magnetic field, attracting a part of the magnetic fluid remaining on the ground.

The black ferrofluid quickly formed a V-shaped ring around his palm.Under the influence of the dry crystal ore, with the disorderly alternation of forward and reverse, a few strands of electric current visible to the naked eye are gradually formed.

And these ferrofluids are also quickly drained during operation, turning into piles of powder.But even so, the powders are still magnetic, racing along with his magnetic field.

Feeling the pain in his fingers, he put away his talent with a muffled grunt.

"Daoporin." Looking at the magnetic powder that fell to the ground, he smiled and said, "Make another ring for me."

The four of them took a rest in the jungle, cleaned up some of the water-soaked things in the backpack, and took out the food in the waterproof layer to replenish their strength.

They had to enter the town before dark, and if they were lucky, they might be able to find a temporary shelter.

Gu Li flipped through the severely damaged mermaid books that had been soaked in water, and regretted not carefully putting the books into the waterproof layer before going into the water.

The books come from the bottom of the damp library, and some of the inner pages are moldy and cannot be read.Now being soaked like this, even using a dry magnetic field is powerless.

While flipping through the pages, Dao Porling threw the new ring to him, and reminded: "No wizard in our generation has used electromagnetic fields, and there are no precautions in the books that record the ancestors. Don't mess around like using Corrosive Crystals again."

Without a pre-prepared ring base, Dauporin can only use the suppressed crystal ore to make the ring body, and put the ferrofluid into the rotatable middle layer that has been added with water.

The hollow thinned black suppressed crystal ore is translucent, and the magnetic fluid is wrapped in it.Under the fluctuation of the magnetic field, it seems to be stimulated, changing various irregular shapes and dancing rhythmically in the crystal ore, and will no longer become powder due to the dry magnetic field.

"Understood." Gu Li put on the ring, and put the spoiled mermaid book back into the supplies bag.

The fourth Goddess Pillar was different from the divine pillar in the town where they lived. It was hidden in the fog and looked like a waterfall.A large number of sharp cones were formed close to the ground, as if the rushing water flowing down was frozen in an instant.

There are a total of six circles of towns in the shape of a circle, and the most damaged one is the nearest center around the Goddess Pillar, followed by the sixth town and then inwards.The relatively intact one is the third town, but as far as it is concerned, it is only a little better than the other towns.

The town seemed to have been impacted by a giant. From the Goddess Pillar to the outermost sixth town, a straight line of regular collapse was formed.It was as if someone had taken a whip and whipped it down hard over the town.

As if seeing the future of the town they lived in, Mimir asked with a pale face: "Will our home become like this?"

Daoporing rarely comforted him: "This town is just the past, and the future may change because of our efforts."

"It's not maybe, it's for sure." Gu Li looked at the collapsed town below the mountain with a solemn expression.

Iris lowered his hands around his chest, touched Gu Li's slightly trembling clenched fist with the back of his hand, and held it silently, as if to give comfort.

"Look there!" Mimir supported the tree trunk and slid down the slope excitedly.

Covered with thick dead leaves, is a spider's leg that is clung to by vines. There are many broken mechanical parts in the joints.

Gu Li found a wooden stick and lifted the covered dead leaves, observed: "This is the first half of the spider's leg, it's not complete."

Mimir was startled, "Is this not complete?" He straightened his arms and gestured, "The two of me combined are not as long as this leg."

Gu Li cleaned the broken part of the spider leg with a wooden stick, and found that the spider leg embedded with mechanical parts was hollow inside.Or to put it another way, this spider, which was once controlled by humans, escaped under uncontrollable circumstances.

Dao Porling took off his glasses and reminded: "Let's go to the city first, it's going to be dark soon. The monster from more than 200 years ago was still this big, if he was still alive, he would definitely run away."

"How do you know you ran away?" Mimir couldn't help asking.

Dao Porling rolled his eyes, "I stuffed you in a cage to use as a machine, and finally broke free, are you still willing to stay in the cage?"

Mimir: "Oh..."

Gu Li threw away the wooden stick and stood up, "Go directly to the third town. It seems that there are a few laboratories there that have not been destroyed."

The high walls that the town used to isolate from outside threats are now useless.Following the destroyed vertical route, it is possible to enter directly from the periphery into the mining area under the Goddess Pillar.

The general structure of the town is not much different from the town they live in, but the mechanical use is more advanced and mature.

Moreover, the ancestors seem to like to use insects or animals to transform them into half-mechanical, half-biological monsters controlled by humans.

From the sixth town to the fourth town, the skeletons of creatures like this are the most seen in the ruins.

In each town, there are two to three broken skeleton mechanical waterwheels, and they follow the waterfalls they come out to divert water for irrigation.

It's just that these waterwheels are now abandoned, and the river has changed its course, no longer flowing in the direction people originally built.

The river contains ferrofluid, which should have flowed from a collapsed factory at the end.

In addition, a large amount of domestic garbage has accumulated in the river, and along with the changing direction of the water, it is circulated and washed back to the mountain where the experimental subjects are held.

Dusk receded and the sky began to darken.

Gu Li brightened up the scope of the lighting crystal mine, and stood outside several well-preserved laboratories in the third town to inspect.

After confirming safety, the operating magnetic field destroyed a rusted mechanical door.

To his surprise, the interior of the laboratory was well preserved.Except for the severe oxidation of some utensils and the dust formed over the years.

Dao Porling followed Gu Li into the laboratory, waved away the ash caused by the collapsed door, and coughed: "This laboratory is bigger than any in our town. The operating rooms are all built in rows! "

Gu Li stood still in front of a laboratory table, and suddenly said: "The owner of this laboratory is the researcher who died in the forest."

Picking up the personal information form on the table, shaking the dust off his face, "His name is Zach."

Daoporin stretched his neck and squinted to look at the information sheet, "How do you know that this Zach is the researcher we found, his name is engraved on his bone?"

Gu Li tapped the code number marked on the information form with his backhand, "It is consistent with the code plate of the deceased."

Putting down the information sheet, looking at the laboratory full of important materials, he said: "Maybe the answer we are looking for is here. It is too late today, everyone find a place to rest, and tomorrow morning we will organize the laboratory to find the source of infection." .”

"what--"

Gu Li was interrupted by a scream, and Mi Mi Mier sat down on the ground with a pale face, pointing to the operating room where he opened the door with trembling fingers, "Fish, fish, fish monster!"

Gu Li hurried forward and opened the half-open door of the operating room.In the ten-square-meter operating room, a pair of huge skeletons that looked like fish and salamanders were tied up in the observation room behind the operating table with chains interspersed through the body.

The upper body of the skeleton was a standard salamander skeleton, while the lower body was a curly fish tail two meters long.What makes the hair stand upside down is the human skull that stands out between the salamander and the fish bone.

Dao Porling also looked trembling, "Could this be the answer to the last painting in the pyramid murals?"

Gu Li was shocked by the scene in front of him, and before he had time to step forward to observe carefully, he was suddenly pulled aside by Iris' arm.

Iris looked very angry. When he walked to the observation room, he suddenly smashed the thick piece of glass forcefully, turned over and entered, and quickly tore off the chains that bound the monster's bones.

It's just that these skeletons have long been vulnerable after a hundred years of suspension. After being torn off the chain, they fell to the ground and became a pile of pieces.

"Iris, what are you doing?" Gu Li stepped forward to stop him, but when he saw Iris' red eyes, he immediately softened his tone and said, "It's dead."

Iris turned his face away and lowered his head, looking at the broken bones on the ground in silence.

Gu Li sighed, turned over into the observation room, pulled Iris' wrist, and comforted him: "It's not your kind, it's just a failed experimental subject."

Iris withdrew his hand uncharacteristically, as if angry with him.Or rather, angry at humans.

Gu Li didn't know how to explain it to him, after all, there were his kind in this skeleton.For a moment just now, apart from being shocked, he also felt unspeakable anger.

Human experimentation is definitely the cruelest experiment.Thinking about it from another angle, if this experiment was done by a mermaid, he would absolutely hate the creature like a mermaid.

Iris' hands have largely recovered, but there is still a small amount of light blue on the wrist that has not retreated.On the arm with the sleeves rolled up, there were five or six gaps criss-crossing with film but not yet fully healed by itself. They should have been injured when they were washed into the drainage channel.

Compared to the mutated skeletons in the laboratory, this is what needs the most attention right now.

Gu Lidao: "After returning from the third Goddess Pillar, I haven't checked your body yet. Your self-healing ability is declining. If the wound is not treated in time, it is very likely that you will be infected again."

Iris mutated into a poisonous fish and was also infected when the wound could not heal.He didn't want to see this fish turn into another horrible creature.

Urging Dauporin and Mimir to find a place to rest in another operating room, and then said to Iris: "I can also let you check, we are equal. You are not a human experiment subject, and I am not a researcher here. .”

Iris's mood improved, and Gu Li took advantage of the situation to take Iris' hand and put it on his neck, exposing his most vulnerable place to the opponent's "sharp weapon".

"Okay, check you?" Iris looked at him and asked.

Although he knew that even if he was inspected, the mermaid would not be able to detect anything, but Gu Li still responded: "Yes, you can also inspect me."

Yu Ling:

As we all know, mermaids don't understand what a physical examination is.So for Iris, you can check me = you can touch me (*/ω＼*)
