Chapter 254: Blessings and Disasters
Outside the Dawn Fortress, Richemont strolled through the fungus forest, looking at the tall bacterial strains around him expressionlessly. These bacterial strains gave people the same feeling as a forest, but with a hint of weirdness. After all, in human memory, forests are always places with towering trees and surrounded by shrubs. When has there ever been a forest full of bacterial strains?
However, there should be no real forests on Earth at this time... According to some information obtained in the past few days, it seems that wherever these fungi fall, all plants wither and die, becoming nutrients for the fungi. The wilderness that was originally full of wormwood has now completely become a mushroom forest, with not even a single grass stem left.
Although this fungus does not infect mutants, Richemont always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong.
After observing for a long time in the Dawn Fortress and not seeing anything, he walked directly into the fungus forest, wanting to feel what would happen.
A bacterial strain emitting a milky white glow appeared in front of me. I could see that the surface of this two-meter-tall strain was covered with a fluorescent liquid. It looked extremely beautiful, and there was even a silvery-white light wave flowing on the surface.
"Hmph." Li Feng sneered. He had already sensed strange electromagnetic fluctuations in this fluorescent bacterial strain. Although the fluctuations were extremely weak, they were very similar to the thought waves of a biological brain. Could it be that this thing was actually an animal?
Just try it and you will know. Richemont grabbed the fluorescent strain and was about to uproot it.
At this moment, something strange happened. A huge crack suddenly appeared on the top of the giant fluorescent strain, revealing rows of sharp teeth that immediately bit towards Lifeng!
Some of the non-fluorescent bacterial strains around them seemed to come alive, stretching out in an instant, cracking their crowns one after another, biting towards Li Feng. The low-growing fungi on the ground that originally looked harmless also grew wildly in an instant , tightly wrapping around Li Feng's body.
In just a few seconds, Li Feng had been swallowed whole by the fluorescent bacteria, and his body was covered with long and thin fungi! The power of this fungi burst out instantly was extremely great. According to Li Feng's estimation, it would be no problem to crush the original man's bones!
"Puff..." The fluorescent bacteria stretched forward and "swallowed" Richemont completely. Immediately, the ordinary bacteria around it that were still agitated stopped moving and returned to their original silence. The entire fungus forest looked as if nothing had happened.
But this silence only lasted for a few seconds, and then there was a loud bang, and the fluorescent strain suddenly exploded, and at the same time a huge amount of flames gushed out, burning the fluorescent strain into ashes! Even where the fluorescent strain was, a deep pit appeared directly, and even the roots were carbonized. This time, the surrounding ordinary strains only stirred for a while, and then stopped .
Li Feng stood there with a solemn expression. Although he easily killed a fluorescent strain, he was not happy. When he was deliberately swallowed just now, he had already felt that this fluorescent strain emitted a strong electric field similar to the thought field when it was touched, instantly controlling dozens of ordinary strains around it.
These fluorescent strains are like "officers". Once they are touched, the "guards" next to them will come to protect them. Or to some extent, the entire fungus sea is a huge living body, and these fluorescent strains are nerve nodes. Once they are touched, a series of rejection reactions will occur.
In the distant sky, a few black dots suddenly appeared, stumbling towards the Dawn Fortress. Looking closely, it was immediately discovered that these black dots were several air cavalrymen!
One of the air troopers finally couldn't hold on any longer, and staggered down from the sky just as he was about to reach the Dawn Fortress.
The bone wings behind Li Feng flashed instantly, and he leaped into the air. He raised his hand to hold the giant locust, and then placed the soldier insect and the cavalry on it on an insect nest in the Dawn Fortress.
The locust had many explosion wounds on its body, and there was also an extremely sticky gelatinous substance stuck to its wings, which was why it fell.
After seeing Li Feng, the cavalryman immediately saluted and said to Li Feng: "Tian Fang from the tenth squad of the third battalion of the Burning Corps Air Cavalry Corps greets the leader!" This cavalryman was actually a female soldier.
"Speak, hurry up." Li Feng didn't have time to be polite and gave the order directly. These soldiers who came back from outside were basically soldiers who participated in the "River Water" battle. Seeing the appearance of this group of people, it was obvious that something big had happened. And Li Feng had a hunch that it might be related to what he had just experienced!
"The 'Stream' combat team I'm with was attacked by a bacterial strain near the Hongshan base. I'm here on the captain's orders to rush back to report to you! Based on combat observations, those fluorescent bacterial strains are extremely aggressive and can induce ordinary bacterial strains around them to attack!" After Tian Fang finished speaking, he looked at Lifeng eagerly, hoping to get inner support from the head of state's expression.
"I see." Li Feng said expressionlessly. It was just as he felt just now. In this way, the soldiers who were sent out to participate in the "Stream Water" operation before must be in great danger on this trip!
"Soldier, go and have a rest. You have completed your mission brilliantly. Leave the rest to me." Li Feng smiled and said to Tian Fang. Before the other party could react, he turned into a shadow and entered the Dawn Fortress.
At this time, Mu Qi has already returned from Chuancheng Fortress. This matter can only be entrusted to Mu Qi and those insect kings!
After a while, a sharp insect chirp suddenly sounded over the Dawn Fortress, and then Mu Qi and two mantis kings soared into the sky. Immediately, hundreds of thousands of flying insects that were originally hiding in and around the Dawn Fortress, led by the three kings, headed towards the depths of the Fungus Sea Forest.
Their purpose is to investigate the situation of the entire Southwestern Fungus Sea Forest and bring back the "Stream Water" troops that may be in danger, as well as the rescued aborigines.
Although according to intelligence, fungi also have the ability to attack the air, but after all, they are much weaker. In the current situation, flying Zerg is undoubtedly the best choice.
Watching Mu Qi and those Zerg disappear into the distance, Li Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
From another perspective, although this Fungus Sea Forest is much more dangerous, it may not be a bad thing. After all, in this case, the advance of the Zerg army under the command of the Southwest Zerg Emperor will inevitably be hindered.
"I should take this opportunity to go out and have a look..." Li Feng said to himself. The Cloud Disaster descended, and a sea of fungi appeared that could be eaten by the Zerg in large quantities. The attack of the Zerg King was almost inevitable. Before the attack of the Zerg King arrived, Li Feng had to continue to work hard to increase his strength!
It's time to go to Tongcheng...
Pieces of silver-white colonial armor gradually emerged. Lifeng did what he said and instantly turned into a stream of light, rising into the air from the Dawn Fortress and heading towards the mysterious Tongcheng!
