Andi Star, located somewhere west of the Pioneer Royal City.
By lifting a heavy rock containing metal components, a gap large enough for a pioneer to enter and exit was revealed.
You Huan asked Xiao Pu on his body, "Is this the place?"
Xiao Pu confirmed:
"It's here."
Then he added the forgotten excitement: "!"
He was a little surprised. The gap was quite crude.
At this time, another fierce sandstorm hit the surface.
Dense red sand hit the hull of the Lightning. He ignored the dust that was unbearable for all pioneers.
Because at this time, his spider-like body was covered with a layer of white and soft fur.
As a native creature, Xiaopu has perfectly adapted to the harsh environment of Andi Star.
But he didn't stay on the ground for long and jumped towards the gap.
During the fall, the small cattails covering the surface of the Lightning curled up all their hairs and turned transparent.
The Lightning also activated its own cloaking system, completely blending in with the surrounding environment.
This level of concealment cannot pass through the biological waves of the Pioneer King City, but it is enough to deal with an irregular gap.
They got to the bottom quickly.
The spider's eight legs grasped the jagged rock.
Various detection equipment on the Lightning started to work, informing him of information about the surrounding environment.
Dark, dirty, and dreary.
This was his first impression of the scene before him.
The entire space was just as Xiao Pu had said, wrapped in a black and blue biomass, with regularly undulating bone protrusions visible on the ground and ceiling.
On both sides were houses growing out of the walls, densely arranged, with the tallest even half hanging on the ceiling.
Several shell-covered pipes extended from the wall, into the house, and returned to the wall from the other side.
Different from the pure black, huge and majestic royal city.
The shells of the biomass walls, pipes, and even houses here have fallen off in many places, revealing the dark blue flesh inside that has partially necrotized.
Occasionally, liquid would seep out of the exposed flesh, and the color was so light that it was almost invisible as blue.
The whole place gave him the feeling of an animal in the process of dying.
After entering this environment, Xiao Pu on his body shook the initial tuft of fur in disgust.
Fortunately, it is transparent now, otherwise you can see a "hair" shaking on the head of Lightning.
It said: "The environment has become even worse. The pioneers have no self-control and do not care about their own people."
At this time, some pioneers also appeared from the house.
It can be clearly seen that compared with the pioneers that You Huan had seen in the past, they are shorter, especially the crown on their heads, which is very small.
The crown is a symbol of the pioneer's status.
It can be imagined that these pioneers were probably the "poor" among the pioneers.
The Lightning was moving slowly along the street.
The pioneers shuffled past it.
Their expressions - although it was difficult to tell from their strange faces - were very dull and they didn't seem to be really doing anything.
They just move things from one place to another, or squat and watch where the shell falls off.
Until a buzzing sound came from deep in the street ahead.
The expressions on the pioneers' faces suddenly became vivid - vivid horror.
They rushed directly to the house next door, regardless of whether it was their house or not.
The Lightning slipped into the gap between two houses and quietly observed the current situation.
The buzzing sound quickly spread from far away to near.
The top wall shook slightly.
Using a vertical bone in the center of the top as a track, a large object slid over like a cable car.
This large mass opened up like a strange flower and stretched out into huge, skinny arms.
Even if the pioneers fled to the house, it would be of no avail.
Several arms stabbed into a nearby house like lightning.
The fleshy walls of the house simply wriggled out a passage for them to enter.
Amidst the sharp cries, a pioneer was caught out.
Place it in the very center of the arm group.
A kind of carapace appeared, fitting tightly onto its body and wrapping up most of it.
Dissolving, pressing, injecting, molding.
Soon the pioneer was transformed into a huge capsule and its original appearance could no longer be recognized.
Only the frightened black eyeballs protruded from the surface, looking upwards.
The "cable car" was running again, ready to transport the capsule away.
At this time, a cluster of transparent fluff floated in the air and flew onto it.
The cable car didn't notice that it had grown hair on its body and drove away with a buzzing sound.
A long time passed after it left, and no pioneer left the house.
You Huan walked out from his hiding place and looked in the direction the cable car left.
Well, these pioneers were worse than "the paupers."
They are "batteries".
Combined with the previous example of the pioneer being made into the core of a strange flower.
The pioneers seem to be accustomed to exploiting their own kind into some kind of strange biological tools.
Perhaps making the pioneers here into capsules is also related to the construction of wormholes?
At this time, Xiao Pu brought news.
The cable car was about to enter a biological quarantine and disinfection area. Its parasitic parasite could no longer parasitize and remained near the quarantine area.
You Huan controlled the Lightning to move quickly, recording the information along the way in detail.
At the same time, he asked Xiao Pu: "Do you have a way to avoid the quarantine of the pioneers?"
Xiao Pu said: "This requires time and contact."
In the past, in order to avoid being discovered and destroyed by the Pioneers, it would try its best not to come into contact with important parts of the Pioneer civilization, so it was unable to independently evolve the ability to evade the Pioneers' quarantine measures.
But along the way of exploring Andi Star, You Huan instilled a lot of ideas into it to make it braver.
Now it is not just one being fighting, it has allies and friends.
Therefore, it has become brave now.
All the way to where the umbrella was.
In front of me was a door that looked like a layer of skin wrapped around a rib.
From time to time, cable cars with Pioneer capsules come in and out here.
A large number of transparent umbrellas flew out from the Lightning.
After absorbing the nutrients given to it by You Huan, it also created several pebble-like creatures.
This roundworm has stronger mobility, can assist the parasol in its movements, and also has the function of collecting information.
If you want to actively evolve a certain ability, their existence is indispensable.
While Xiao Pu was working hard to evolve, You Huan piloted the Lightning to explore the Pioneer dungeon which was as complex as a maze.
Draw a map of the underground space.
At the same time, he buried a lot of positioning balls, and even more interesting things...
"Okay!" Xiao Pu's voice sounded at some point.
As if it didn't express enough exclamation, it added an extra exclamation: "!"
The Lightning immediately took eight long legs and took a shortcut that appeared after the map was connected, and returned to the quarantine gate.
Many transparent umbrellas flew down and landed on him again.
Following an arm lift, they passed through the gate.
Some fluorescent whiskers grew on the walls of the quarantine area, emitting red and blue light.
This light can detect and kill most types of microorganisms, parasites and dirt.
But under the cover of the evolving Xiao Pu, they passed safely.
In the middle of the process, he threw out a small ball covered with fluff, which stuck to the glowing whiskers.
Lightning has the ability to analyze and scan, so we can find a way to get some information about these things.
When the time comes, throw it to Newton and others and let them study it.
Passing through the quarantine area, the arm lifts carried the Pioneer capsules into a spacious factory area.
A large number of pioneer capsules were neatly stacked together.
In the center of the factory is something that looks like a mirror made of flesh.
The black bones formed a border that was two hundred meters high.
In the middle is a slightly trembling dark blue fleshy film.
Is this the original form of the Pioneer's wormhole?
Lightning watched as several obviously higher-ranking Pioneers operated these capsules, which were lifted and filled into the back of the flesh mirror.
There was actually a huge, vaguely protruding face with an extremely exaggerated mouth, which was swallowing a capsule.
Seeing this curious scene, You Huan... well, didn't feel anything.
The mood is calm.
With Xiao Pu's help in covering up, he buried many more signal devices.
Part of Xiao Pu is also rooted here, providing him with continuous vision.
I have to say, Xiao Pu is really capable.
With its help, the Lightning can freely enter and exit many places within the Pioneer civilization.
Its field of vision after taking root can enable multi-line operations.
Lightning left the factory and continued to explore the entire Pioneer dungeon.
Such a large underground city cluster will definitely be his "key attention area" in the future.
If Wei Lishu wasn't here, he wouldn't know what exactly could provide him with benefits.
But it must be a lot, right?
He highlighted everything that looked like it could provide evolutionary or strengthening points.
Next, he just has to wait for the day when he, as a tail-standing rat, can return to his "hometown" again.
