Chapter 246 Conjecture and Hypothesis
Rong Yuan and Wandou shrank by hundreds or thousands of times at the same time, becoming the same size. They were wearing the same clothes and helmets, and except for Wandou's bigger head, they looked exactly the same.
The little man that was used to being in the palm of my hand or in my pocket suddenly became as tall as me. This feeling was very novel. Rong Yuan looked at it for a long time before he smiled and said softly, "Let's go."
"Yes." Pea didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all. She agreed obediently as usual and followed him. The two of them rushed to the place where the bodies were placed.
The world in the microscopic environment is more lively than before, probably because this is a hospital. There are many more bacteria, viruses and parasites than usual. The originally bright lights have become dim in this environment. The light sources that can be seen in the field of vision are mostly some tiny luminous objects that seem to have their own light sources, golden orange, red, bright blue and light purple, twinkling and colorful, like a handful of stars scattered in the night sky, or like insects inlaid with colorful gems on their bodies, making this world even more magnificent and beautiful.
If the speed at which Rong Yuan and his companions traveled could be magnified to a level that could be seen by others, it would definitely beat any action movie on Earth in seconds and subvert everyone's understanding of the world - every time he took a step, his body leaped far away, and in his right hand he held a stick. Any microorganism that blocked his way - even if it looked as small as a hill - would be blown away by his stick. In just a moment, he crossed two vast plains.
In front of him, a dark abyss about several dozen meters wide appeared again, with no visible edge on both sides. Rong Yuan stopped and looked at the place under his feet that looked like the entrance to hell. There were thousands of "monsters" crowded inside, so crowded that there was almost no space. There were more "monsters" on both sides of the abyss than elsewhere, forming a huge momentum like waves, but there was a clear gap in the middle of the population, which was caused by Rong Yuan picking up all the microorganisms along the way.
The abyss was filled with the sounds of monsters gnawing, the rustling sounds chilling one's bones. Some huge creatures made sounds like dragons and tigers roaring, slowly and heavily stepping through the pile of insects, carelessly crushing some small insects, and from time to time they would grab a few small insects with their sickle-like claws and stuff them into their mouths to eat them with a crunching sound.
A piece of white dandruff fell from the sky like a snowflake magnified tens of thousands of times. It fell very slowly and leisurely, occasionally floating up, but when it approached the abyss, it seemed to trigger a switch, and countless insects all raised their heads and howled, and some even stood up straight and tried to jump up and bite. However, just when the dandruff was about to fall into the mouth of a certain insect, suddenly a huge insect that seemed to be several hundred meters long appeared on one side of the abyss. This insect, which looked like a flattened eel, swam over from the air, swallowed the dandruff in one gulp, and then wagged its tail to continue looking for food.
——So Rong Yuan almost never used the Ant-Man suit except for the time when he was studying drugs and he became smaller frequently. This is the reason. These strange-shaped insects, which are clustered together like grapes on a vine, can make even the most carefree people suffer from intensive phobia.
A centipede-like insect with yellow and white rings spotted Rong Yuan standing next to the abyss, and swung its scissor-like claws at him! Rong Yuan snorted coldly, and swung the stick in his hand to hit the insect on the head. It immediately flew back at a faster speed than when it came, crashing into the stone wall opposite the abyss, and was submerged by a group of disc-shaped strange insects with eight tentacles.
Rong Yuan swung the stick, controlling the force so that he didn't smash all the bugs along the way, but it was still stained with some slime, which was disgusting. Pea followed a step late, and then took two steps back, avoiding the slime .
"We've passed two floor tiles, and the road ahead is upwards," said Pea.
The "abyss" on the ground was actually just the gap between the floor tiles. If it weren't for this situation, Rong Yuan would never have thought that there was such a "crowded" world inside.
However, the many times he had shrunk in the past had improved his cleanliness to a certain extent, at least he had become immune to the scene in front of him. Therefore, Rong Yuan just said "hmm", and frowned as he watched a soft and weird insect being torn into pieces by the surrounding predators, with juice splashing everywhere. There was no extra expression on his face, and he bent his knees, and then his body bounced up like a cannonball, flexibly using the dust and debris in the air and the occasional flying microorganisms to jump higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, he could no longer be seen from the ground.
After his body shrank, for some unknown reason, his weight also decreased accordingly, but his strength was not affected too much. This resulted in Rong Yuan only being able to feel the weak gravity of the earth. As long as he used a little more strength, he could jump from the floor to the ceiling without any problem. In a macroscopic state, this was almost equivalent to him jumping directly out of the troposphere! Don't ask him how he knew - it was because he had tried it before.
Why didn't Rong Yuan reach the ceiling in one go, but had to rush all the way from the ground two tiles away, and then jump up step by step, which was time-consuming and laborious. That was because the last time he jumped directly to the ceiling with too much force, his body moved uncontrollably in a straight line without any force, and on that straight line, there were countless microorganisms and fragmented dust that were punctured by him. Before Rong Yuan's "close contact" with the ceiling caused his body to stop, his body was already covered with various wisps of dust, disgusting mucus, and some broken biological limbs.
Rong Yuan had never been so dirty in his life.
He still cannot recall that scene. Noah, the bad guy, even did a special statistics: there are more than 9,000 kinds of microorganisms in indoor dust, and there are more than 1,000 kinds of light that he encountered along the way, which can be regarded as a small miracle.
Rong Yuan: Haha.
The intelligent computer was locked in a small dark room. Rong Yuan almost skinned himself alive, and after that, he kept the battle suit in the ring and never took it out again until now.
Rong Yuan and the other man landed on the exposed skin of the corpse. Under their feet was a pale "ground" with hair growing everywhere as thick as trees. The cortex of the hair follicles was curled and wrapped around like lettuce, which was very hideous.
In fact, judging from the spread of UCOC, the air must be full of that virus at this time. But firstly, it mutates very quickly, and secondly, Rong Yuan has no idea what this virus looks like, so how can he find a specific virus among thousands of strange microorganisms? Therefore, it is the safest and quickest to find the original virus from the tumor of the first corpse.
"Rongyuan, actually..." Wandou walked beside Rongyuan and said vaguely: "This UCOC syndrome reminds me of someone."
"Doctor." Rong Yuan said lightly.
"Yes." Pea said, "Spreading deadly viruses seems to be his method. And when we came back, didn't we receive a message from Archon Geoso? He said that the doctor deliberately left a virus test tube when he left Biqiu Star, and after testing, the virus could destroy a planet overnight. Is the doctor... really dead?"
"He died completely. Isn't the Merit Book a good proof?" - He almost killed him for this. Rong Yuan said: "Instead of suspecting that the doctor is faking his death, why not think of other possibilities - I remember there was a guy who escaped at that time?"
"Yes. But Noah said that the surveillance did not find any aliens visiting the earth." Pea has great trust in Noah's ability.
"If he dared to come here knowing that I was here, he would naturally be well prepared. It is impossible that he did not at least disguise himself. It is possible that he would not be discovered by Noah."
"Then... could it be that Kaiyuer Company is conducting experiments on Earth again?" Pea said with disgust. Although it is not a human, because it is a spirit, it attaches great importance to any life, especially humans of the same race as Rongyuan.
"I have the same idea, but if it was poisoning from space, the number of people who first fell ill should be larger than it is now, and their locations should be more concentrated. In any case, finding out the identities and range of activities of the earliest victims should help us understand the truth of this incident." Rong Yuan did not give up this conjecture, and then he said: "But there is another possibility."
"What?"
"Would a man like the doctor give all his weapons to the enemy for free, just to scare him?" At least Rong Yuan himself wouldn't. "So he was able to abandon that virus, it must be because he had more... And viruses are something that should be well preserved, and are very likely to survive even in a war."
Pea was surprised: "You mean..."
"All the mechas, spaceships and alien wreckage that could be collected were collected by various countries and brought back to Earth. They also wanted me to study mecha manufacturing, but I refused." Rong Yuan has always refused to develop lethal weapons, which is why some high-level officials of the Sugar Country are dissatisfied and even hostile to him. Rong Yuan paused, then said: "Even a piece of debris was brought back by them at a huge cost like a treasure, not to mention... they all saw the final battle between me and the doctor. The special status of the doctor's mecha is obvious to everyone with a discerning eye. The search for that area must be the top priority. If there is a virus, then the possibility that it will be brought back to Earth for research by humans is more than 90%."
"So..." Pea's tone was full of disbelief, "It is very likely that everything that is happening now is caused by humans themselves?"
