How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 34: Underground Hollow

Bum! Bum! Bum! ...

The fierce collision between the shell of the titanium snail and the tunnel rock wall recalls the sound of metal tapping. The turbulence of the vortex makes the titanium snail unable to maintain balance in the water. It can only drift with the waves like this, according to fate.

The vortex was formed because of the existence of underground voids that lead to the ocean. Now Huo Gu and its boarding titanium snails are inevitably falling into the depths of the earth in this way.

Poo!

The sound of falling into the water, and the sea water pouring in before provided enough buffer for Huo Gu.

"Luckin is really lucky. Fortunately, I chose to use titanium alloy as a bone, otherwise it will really develop again from microorganisms."

"By the way...where is this?"

Huo Gu looked around and surrounded it with the invisible darkness.

"...It seems that the visual senses need to be adjusted."

After receiving the instruction, the hypochlorite acid inside one of the eyes of the titanium snail and reacts with visual light is replaced with a water monotological solution under infrared irradiation, and the perspective is also changed from a visual light perspective to an infrared perspective. The original dark environment is also new in a blink of an eye.

"It's so big!?"

Huo Gu marveled at the scene he saw in front of him. A huge underground void, with a height of hundreds of meters, supported by thick stone pillars supporting the huge underground structure.

"It's so spectacular..."

"How was this structure formed?"

Huo Gu looked around and soon understood the reason for the formation.

There are a large number of cracks on the hollow ground, which will continue to spewing small water vapor, just like the kind that gushes out after the kettle boils.

The underground void it is currently in should have been full of liquid water, but the temperature of the early planet was very high. The liquid water absorbed heat and became water vapor, squeezing out the void from those small cracks, thus creating such a landform.

Taking back his mind from the outside environment, Huo Gu began to think about his own things.

"Well, I'm like this now... should be safe, right?"

Huo Gu looked at the surrounding environment with no confidence, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems to be safe."

Thinking of what he had just experienced, Huo Gu felt a chill. The area with a radius of hundreds of nautical miles was changing. In terms of land kilometers, it was 720 kilometers. In terms of the scope of destruction alone, it was about a quarter of the Tsar's nuclear bomb in human history.

Huo Gu had foreseen many possibilities and overestimated the strength of the other party as much as possible, so he chose the position hundreds of nautical miles away as the starting point for the deployment of the rhizomes.

However, it was still underestimated.

There has been a similar thing to that kind of large-scale crustal movement on the earth. Every occurrence is often accompanied by a great extinction of organisms. Fortunately, it is still the ancient era. Microbes exist in the planet's ecosystem, and they are very adaptable to the environment after the influence of volcanoes.

"Well, I just want to live a stable life in a relatively stable environment. How on earth can I touch the nerves of that unidentified guy?"

Humiliation and unwillingness surged into Huo Gu's heart. However, it is more powerlessness, which is the sense of powerlessness in the face of an opponent with unparalleled strength.

Fight?

What to fight with?

The true face and position of the opponent are not known, and there is naturally no way to talk about targeted attacks. The destructive power is still the same level of nuclear weapons.

And what about Huo Gu?

It is an ordinary, mortal creature, weak and helpless, not to mention nuclear weapons, ordinary volcanic eruptions. If it does not escape, it will also be a dead end.

"I really want to surrender..."

"Huh?"

Huo Gu came over slowly and paid attention to the surrounding environment with excitement.

"Now... Am I in a relatively stable and safe environment?"

"In this underground hollow,

There is no strong current pressure, let alone worry about floating to the crater when resting, except for the lack of light."Since that guy has no further pursuit and eradicate it, can it be understood that that guy can't detect the creatures in the depths of the earth?"

So why don't you live in this underground void for a lifetime?

"No... No, it's too cowardly. This is not the way I should live. Isn't it no different from the mouse in the gutter?"

"Although I will choose life between dignity and life, it does not mean that I will not consider maintaining my dignity under the premise of ensuring life."

"Moreover, as long as that guy still wants to attack me, I won't think about Ansheng in my life. Even if I don't have the ability to detect the underground now, what will I do in the future?"

"..."

"Let's put aside other things for the time being. Before that, it is necessary to ensure the collection of organic materials. It is the absolute truth to develop yourself first."

"Huhu, start to set up the rhizome system."

The gourd carried by the tail of the titanium snail swam out. It attached to the bottom of the water not far from Huogu and agitated itself. After a period of time, it grew into a cone-shaped organism.

It begins to absorb water, just like its other counterparts.

is different from the top mouth becoming a drainage outlet, and the bottom six mouths become a water absorption outlet.

I can't help it. It's too big. The upper mouth is already higher than the liquid level, so it can only be reversed.

During this period, there will be titanium snails, gourds, and rhizomes that will be washed down from above, and the collection of materials needed by the rhizome system is also because of these progresses being accelerated a lot.

Soon the rhizome system grew from the bottom of the cone organism and grew from the water to the shore.

Spreading all the way, the cave walls, road surfaces and stone pillars are all covered with a net like vines, which is said to be a huge void, but compared with the islands on land, it is still small.

"Huh? This underground void is still connected to other places.

To Huo Gu's expectation, several caves leading to unknown areas were found on several cave walls of huge holes.

"Where will it lead to?"

Suddenly, through the visual system on the rhizome, Huo Gu focused on a rock near the mouth of a cave.

That thing stands quietly on the side of the cave like the gate totem of the primitive tribe. It looks like a statue, but when you look carefully, it is a very natural stone, and its appearance is between artificial and natural.

This made Huo Gu unconsciously emerge the concept of underground man in his mind...

It hurriedly dissipated these unrealistic fantasies.

"What the hell is going on? How can there be so many unrealistic fantasies recently? This is the Hades, which is not suitable for large organisms to live in, so..."

When Huo Gu said this, he got stuck and stared straight at the stone of suspected handicrafts next to the cave. He couldn't move away for a long time.

"...Sure enough, it's better to go inside to confirm it."
