This Game is Too Real - Chapter 632 Assimilation fighter?

  A dark underground tunnel.

  After being knocked out, the three little mengxins were dragged here by a group of slime mold fruiting bodies, and then moved to a claustrophobic room.

   This place seems to be somewhere in the underground transportation network of Qingquan City, but it has been transformed beyond recognition by plaque, and it is completely impossible to tell where it is.

  The player who woke up first shook his head, and propped his hands on the ground. Feeling his hands were sticky, he was startled when he opened his eyes.

  I saw scarlet around, and the pulsating creeps were like fresh pieces of meat, exuding a disturbing stench.

  Big Pig's Trotter looked around in a daze, and it took him a long time to hold back a word.

   "Fuck? What the **** is this place?"

  Why did you just get disconnected for a while, and even move your position when you got back online?

  At this time, another pair of abducted men and women also woke up, seeing the surrounding situation and trembling with fright.

  Hungry forces: "I giao, we won't be swallowed by slime mold, right?"

   Bow to the hungry forces: "Wake up, you are such a big lump, how can you swallow it without chewing it.

  Hungry forces: ".?"

   Bow to the hungry forces: "I was wrong."

   At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the dark entrance ahead.

  It is as tall as two people, and its burly body almost occupies the entire aisle. There are only abstract facial features on its face.

  It is somewhat similar to Xiaoyu when she was still the mother, but it is obviously bigger, and the human element is less.

  The three of them were taken aback by this guy's abstract appearance, and they backed away with the expression of seeing a ghost.

  Unfortunately, this is a dead end. There is a wall behind them, and there is no room to move.

  Watching the guy slowly squirming and moving his tentacles to his face, the hungry force dripped cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed, pouted his neck and let out a hard air.

   "Goo kill me, I won't say anything!"

   It is said that she has wanted to try this line for a long time, and the key is that these newbies don't know anything at all.

   I don't know if he understood her words or just heard the voice, the alien turned his abstract facial features towards her, and suddenly a seam was opened in the hem of the skirt that was stuck to the ground.

   Just when everyone was wondering what it was going to do, countless tentacles rushed out from the gap, and instantly dragged her into the open **** mouth.

   Before the screaming "Wuka" could be heard, the Hungry Force who was still talking hard a second ago disappeared in the closed "mouth".

  The stretched skirt fluttered up and down, as if chewing carefully.

  Seeing that his target was eaten by the monster face to face, he bowed his head to the hungry forces and after a short moment of stupefaction, he let out a hoarse scream.

   "Honey! I will fight with you!"

   After he finished speaking, he struggled to stand up, and rushed towards the monster that was as tall as two people with his fists.

  However, his fate is no different from the previous players.

Before taking two steps, he tripped over a tentacle that slipped out from under the hem of his skirt, like a mosquito that landed in front of a frog, and was licked into the gaping **** mouth without any suspense . …

  A pair of dogs and men both died.

   After a full meal, Sia shook the tentacles under her body and patted the ground happily, as if she was chewing a steak that had been swallowed into her mouth.

   It's just that the abstract facial features are still a little confused, as if wondering about something.

  Looking at the constantly fluttering scarlet skirt, Big Pig's Trotter turned pale with nervousness, and rolled his eyes in a hurry.

   "Brother! Don't eat me, I don't taste good. I, I, I surrender! Do you need a translator? I'll be your little boy!"

  I heard that this game has a high degree of freedom.

   What if it happens?

  Xia pointed the abstract facial features at him,

  After thinking for a while, suddenly without warning, the skirt that was close to the ground opened again.

  Looking at the clothes falling out of it and the tentacles rolling like a meat grinder, Big Pig's Trotter had already foreseen his end, and his expression changed suddenly.

   This is **** dead anyway! "I-"

   Before he had time to scold the dog planner, the open mouth swallowed him. Without even a chance to resist, his remaining consciousness merged into the scarlet sea of ​​blood.

  Feeling the breath of life melting into her body, Xia chewed quietly for a while, the confusion on her face gradually turned into incomprehensible distress.

"strangeness.

   As if aware of the child's confusion, the mother's voice quietly appeared in its hazy sea of ​​consciousness.

   "What's wrong? My child."

   Facing the empty scarlet wall and the indigestible impurities left under his feet, Xia murmured silently.

   "They, are empty.

  Those guys are a shell.

   And bigger than simple organisms like cockroaches and mice

  Pure empty shell, like a piece of white paper without any information.

   It was the first time it had seen such a strange creature since its birth.

   This kind of thing cannot be assimilated, or even if it is assimilated, it will have no meaning, they are just walking dead.

  It can't understand what kind of existence they are.

  Are they, like the mother's "substances", puppets controlled by a consciousness outside the body?

  But they have shown a strong autonomy. There was a puzzled look on Sia's face.

   Could it be

  These humans also have broods?

   "They are assimilated alien species."

  Refuge No. 404, browsing room on B4 floor.

  Heya, who was sitting on the sofa, briefed Chu Guang and Yin Fang on the preliminary test results of the two fruiting body samples from the Union Institute of Biology.

  Hearing the unexpected and interesting words, Yin Fang put down the coffee cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows with interest.

   "Assimilation?"

  Heya nodded with a serious expression, and continued. "That's right. Slime molds collected their DNA data, and while absorbing their organic matter, they retained some

   originally belonged to the nervous tissue of those creatures themselves. "

   Paused, she continued.

"You still remember Butch? It's the guy parasitized by slime molds. He has similarities with those special fruiting bodies, except that the slime molds in Qingquan City are obviously more aggressive than Yongdong City. The slime molds here Slime molds carried out more thorough assimilation, turning most of the captured organisms into a part of their own body, and only retained a small part of the brain tissue of the host. …

  In a sense, this is actually an improvement for the mutant slime mold in Qingquan City.

   Similar to going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

  In addition to making the bones of their prey into weapons, they also learned to domesticate on this basis—that is, to train their prey to become "combat servants" that obey them.

  Yin Fang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

   Chu Guang, who had been silent all this time, coughed lightly.

   "Can you change it to something I understand?"

   Heya explained patiently.

"To put it simply, they have made improvements on the basis of unified consciousness. In the past, whether they were nibblers or crawlers, they hunted under the guidance of the brood, but now some special fruiting bodies remain With their combat experience, they can use the stronger bodies bestowed by the slime mold to hunt in the original way."

   Yin Fang interjected.

   "It is equivalent to a combat robot with an intellectual plug-in installed and not controlled by a cloud server.

   Heya snapped his fingers.

   "Exactly!

  Chu Guang rubbed his chin thinking.

  "

   Does this make any sense? "

  Yin Fang analyzed according to his own understanding.

   "The meaning is that the mother hive can allocate more "computing resources" of the hive to command at the strategic level, while some higher sub-entities and evolutionary bodies can make their own decisions at the tactical level based on experience. Even if their tactics are not necessarily brilliant, they will be more flexible than before, am I right? "

  Hea nodded with a smile.

   "That's right, that's it!"

   Picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip, Yin Fang said with a sigh.

   "It has evolved to this level in just one year. The evolution speed of this thing is too exaggerated."

   Heya shook his head.

"It's not a year, evolution is a long-term process. They have been learning from us, whether it is our tools or our society. I am more inclined to think that the emergence of alliances has accelerated their evolution to a certain extent. Evolution, but what really drives them to change from quantitative to qualitative change is their observation of us over a long period of time.

   The spore clouds are all over every corner of Qingquan City. In theory, the parent body in the city center can indeed see them.

   Just like the Alliance's Institute of Biology has been looking for a solution to the brood, that guy must also be tirelessly looking for a solution to the disintegration of human society.

   Perhaps it would have been better to eradicate them early in the Wasteland Era, when slime molds would have been less difficult to deal with than they are now.

  But these are things for later.

  People at that time also had troubles at that time. It was not easy to survive in the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero, let alone fighting an unprepared battle against an unknown enemy.

   "Actually. Compared with what you said, I am more worried about another thing."

   Seeing the two of them looking at him, Chu Guang paused, and continued speaking slowly.

  "They have gradually learned to hide themselves during evolution. While testing us, they consciously prevent us from obtaining their wreckage."

   "They seem to understand us more and more.

  "."

   "Wasteland OL" official website.

  Different from the dignified atmosphere in the browsing room, the forum is full of excitement at the moment. …

  Since the release of the new expansion pack, players have been looking forward to what new work the dog will do, but this time it really

   Did not disappoint.

The original wave was a group of fruiting bodies swarming up to A, now this group of fruiting bodies will not only move, but also played a wave of jaw-dropping cooperation, and even kidnapped three little ones under the eyes of Brother Quanshui Meng new.

   This is something no one expected.

   Quit smoking: "Ow!"

  Battlefield atmosphere group: "Even the dog spring water is deflated, unscientific! (Funny)

  Commander Quanshui: "Fuck off, I'm so weak, picking up a corpse already counts as a great achievement, okay?

  Yin Leina: "Speaking of which, what about the remaining corpses? Isn't there a monster? (Curious

  Commander Quanshui: "When the fog cleared, it disappeared. It was estimated that it was either dragged away for recycling, or eaten on the spot."

  Fang Chang: "It's okay to eat it"

  Ye Shi: "Hiss, this new mother feels something."

  Makabazi: "Speaking of which, what about the brothers who were taken away by those fruiting entities? Haven't they come down yet?"

  Big Trotter: "It's me who said I might have seen the mother's body!"

  Hearing these words, the players squatting in the post instantly got excited.

   Quit smoking: "Damn it! Is it true?"

  Elf King Fugui: "Tell me what that thing looks like, brother. (Funny

  Big pig's hooves: "I don't know how to describe it, it's a bit like Xiaoyu's previous appearance. It's a circle bigger than it, and it's uglier.

  Although he has never seen Xiao Yu in the game, but

  There are always photos of Xiaoyu posted by other players on the forum.

  Compared with those photos, there is still some similarity between Xiaoyu and it, but the contours of the facial features and body are more rounded, and the color is more pink.

   To make an inappropriate but vivid metaphor is that the mother body called West Asia is more like a shark with its mouth wide open, the kind that can scare a child to cry. On the other hand, Xiao Yu is more like a dolphin. Although he also has a ferocious side, he is closer to human aesthetics.

  Spring Water Commander: "Do you still remember where you saw that guy?"

  Big Trotter: "Well, I don't know, but I think it should be somewhere underground, which is very similar to a subway station.

   Edge paddling: "The goal of the subway station is too broad."

  Commander Spring: "However, it is certain that the mother's nest and hatching room are hidden underground this time. No wonder they are something we have never seen before."

  Fang Chang: "@Big Pig's Trotter, did that last mother eat you all?"

   Bow to the hungry forces: "Yes, it killed my wife

   Swallowed. Still in front of my face, woo woo woo.

  Hungry forces: "Tsk, you bastard, don't be so weird, okay! (anger)

   Bowed his head like a hungry force: "I was wrong." Big trotter: "."

  Spring Water Commander: "And then? Didn't you find anything else? Anything is fine."

  Hunger force: "Well, I feel like it responds to our voice.

  Spring Water Commander: "Sound?"

Hunger force: "At first it seemed that it was going to eat my partner first, but as soon as I spoke, it swallowed me first. I always feel that it didn't understand what I said at all. After all, I also Can't communicate with others."...

   Lowered his head like a hungry force: "Hiss, I remembered it when you said that. I was the second to utter a word, and I was eaten right after you."

  Hungry forces: "So this alien species preys on sound?"

  Commander Spring: "No, I think there is another possibility. It mistook you for a human being giving orders, like the alpha wolf among wolves."

  Hungry force: "Huh? I still have this ability?"

   Bowed his head like a hungry force: "Fuck? My partner has this ability?"

  Spring Water Commander: "Then I don't know, but it might be like this from its perspective, after all, most mammals

   They all rely on the vocal cords to transmit information. Maybe the cognition of the brood will understand the sound as a kind of biological pheromone.

  Big Pig's Trotter: "Speaking of which, I also found an unusual place, I don't know if it is a clue. The guy who is suspected of being a mother seems to be very surprised after eating those couples.

  Spring Water Commander: "Surprised?"

  Big trotter: "That's right, it feels like I've eaten something wrong. I watched it carefully for a while before spit out their clothes and shoes."

  Fang Chang: "It's interesting."

  Quit smoking: "Uh, what do you mean?"

Fang Chang: "... Do you think there is a possibility that other organisms in slime mold's cognition are "mushrooms" with self-awareness, and the clone we use just doesn't have self-awareness, so it is in Confused about where our self-awareness comes from.

Commander Quanshui: "It seems that we have thought of going together." Fang Chang: "However, if my inference is correct, the matrix this time is probably different from all the matrix we have encountered before, and it is not easy for prey. Instead of eating them, pick a part of them and assimilate them into 'our own people'."

   Just as everyone was discussing, an announcement suddenly jumped out from the official website.

  【"The Return of the Wave" expansion pack update: Added the concept of "Assimilation Body"】

  【According to the findings of the Alliance Research Institute, "West Asia" will consciously capture the organisms that invade the territory and assimilate them into ethnic groups

A part of   , retaining its aggression and part of self-awareness, while forcing the implantation of biological prostheses to transform it. 】

  【Currently known "assimilation body":

  1. Phytophagy monsters: Possess powers similar to monsters, and their recovery and defense power are strengthened by biological prosthetics constructed from slime molds. Individual combat power will be stronger than monsters.

2. Phagocytic Death Claw: It possesses the speed and agility of the Death Claw, and on this basis strengthens the recovery power and damage resistance. No samples have been collected yet, and qualitative biological analysis cannot be done. It can only be speculated based on combat images , which has a fighting power comparable to that of an evolved body.

3. Bacteriophage martyrs: Slime mold fruiting bodies that are suspected of being secondary assimilated. Biological prototypes have not been found in the ecological environment around Qingquan City. The ability is speculated to actively detonate itself and release corrosive poisonous mist. It is thrown as a projectile.

  ] Quit smoking: "Damn!"

  Big Eyes in Debt: "6666! I just updated the settings of the assimilation body when we talked about assimilation!"

Ye Shi: "Brother Guang plagiarized the forum for real! (Funny Fang Chang: "But this server announcement proves that our thinking is correct, and there are two pieces of information that can be extracted. First, West Asia has the 'Assimilation A fighter's trait, which transforms part of the...

   Prey use their combat experience to be better at micromanaging than the parent in the previous wave. Second, it is focusing on our differences, and is consciously studying us and learning from us. However, due to limited knowledge, it may have some deviations in its understanding of us.

Commander Quanshui: "These two clues are very important! Since our opponents are no longer the idiots in the last wave, the form of the wave may have undergone fundamental changes. It is very dangerous to use the original thinking to formulate tactics. of."

   Edge paddling: "You mean, they may not play their cards according to the routine? Bypass our defense line in the northern suburbs?"

  Commander Spring: "This possibility is very high. The experience of calculating the attack direction of slime molds through the concentration of spore clouds is very likely to be invalid in this battle!"

Commander Spring: "I even feel that the wave has already begun, but they are using the inertia we know about them to stay still and deliberately follow our expected timetable. After two weeks, they only need to send a large amount of cannon fodder, Just like the last wave, rush up towards the front of our position, and then send a small group of elite troops to circle around the most empty flank of our defense force, and they will be able to eat up our defense line in one bite!"

  Luo Yu: "I boiled?! Slime mold still has such a heart?"

  The boy on the construction site and Brick: "Uh, you don't think too much.

  Spring Water Commander: "I heard that slime molds can plan the shortest path to food according to the location of food. The mutant slime mold we are facing is obviously smarter than the real slime mold

  Much more, I have reason to believe these guys would pull off such an operation.

  Fang Chang: "I agree, anything can happen on the battlefield, my opinion is the same as yours, underestimating the enemy will suffer a lot.

  Midnight Kill Chicken: "It's too troublesome, do you two have any plans?"

  Fang Chang: "After hearing what happened to those two Mengxins, I have an idea.

   Edge paddling: "What do you think?"

Fang Chang: "As we all know, a guy who is a little bit smart but not smart enough is better to deceive than a fool who doesn't know anything. This time, the mother body is smarter than before and harder to deal with, but we can also take advantage of this in reverse. "

   Edge paddling: "How to use this?"

Fang Chang: "It's very simple. The idea is the same as the intelligence warfare in World War II. Since they understand us as 'a group of organisms that rely on sound waves as pheromones to transmit information, then we only need to forge a 'commanding brood' and send us Just show it the "weakness"! "
