Age of the Mist

Chapter 1235 Eyes opened in the dark
Who is this person?

Men and women, old and young, tall and short, fat and thin?
Is it the courier brother who shuttles through the city, or the angel in white who heals the sick and saves the sick?
What is this person's identity in the virtual world, what education has he received, what achievements has he made, could it be... someone I once knew?
The sixth child was full of imagination.

These fantasies are completely useless to the current situation, but he still can't restrain his thoughts.

He was sick, really sick in the bottom of his heart.

But he didn't say anything.

No complaints, no pauses, no slowing down of my pace.

Look at the humic fungi all over the water body. How do these bacteria grow so many and become so fat?Those alcohols and acidic substances are produced by decomposing something?

He has no choice.

He has nowhere to go.

Can only survive, at all costs to survive.

The contact surface of the protein was quickly eroded, and the speed of devouring a mere brain was quite astonishing.In less than 10 minutes, the piece of protein was devoured.

Yuanli increased rapidly, and then began to build new units non-stop.

Twelve pairs of cranial nerves were something he had to build, because without cranial nerves, he would not be able to achieve consummation of thoughts and energy in the first level, and he would not be able to successfully enter the second level of mind art.Practice also requires a basic physiological structure.

Fortunately, he already possessed the four inborn drums. With the completion of the neural structure, the power of his mental technique can be further improved, and even far exceeded the limit of the normal first-level heavenly mental technique.For this reason, the sooner and earlier the cranial nerves are created, the more cost-effective it will be for him.

Among all the cranial nerves, the optic nerve is undoubtedly the most important, but also the most complex, difficult and costly.The construction of the optic nerve can only be set back a little until a sufficient supply of resources is available.

After repeated weighing, Lao Liu determined the next construction sequence.After half an hour of recovery, the brain of the sixth child stretched out a total of six pairs of cranial nerves, like a strange jellyfish, drifting downwards.

The nerve tentacles that have grown several times have brought about a ten-fold increase in perception and food consideration ability.More and longer "big brooms" sweep all the way, sweeping away all organic matter passing through the waters.

After a slow dive for about 3 minutes, Lao Liu finally "seeed" the bottom of the pool from his sonic vision.The wayfinding technique gave the answer, counting from the initial position, the vertical drop was about 5.6 meters.In other words, this is a pool about six to seven meters deep.

The sixth child's brain stuck to the bottom of the pool, and as expected, there was a thick layer of creep here.Countless debris piled up here, with a thickness of more than one foot, which could easily bury Lao Liu's entire brain.

For the sixth child, these residues are not rich in nutrients, but they are better than a large amount.As for what these residues are, he no longer thinks about them.

He got into the creep, and six pairs of nerve tentacles swept across, devouring large pieces of the creep.The output of Yuanli has risen sharply, and the speed of body repair has also accelerated.

In just three hours, he regenerated eleven and a half pairs of cranial nerves, making him look more like a jellyfish.

The optic nerve was the last to be worked on and has mostly been repaired.His brain protruded from his prefrontal cortex with two tentacles that looked like insect antennae.

The tentacles are reasonably well-built, but the optic nerve alone can't see.Even with mental skills, his current vision is only about ten centimeters, which is worse than myopia with a thousand degrees.

He also needs to create eyeballs to have real vision.Even if there is no complete eyeball, no lens, ciliary body, and vitreous body, but there must be a retina.With the retina, the ability of the pupil technique can be solidified, and the eyesight can take a huge leap, which is of great significance to survival.

The delicate and complex area of ​​the retina is huge, and the sixth child still needs to swallow more organic matter.After a rough estimate, with his devouring ability, another hour would be enough.

Very fast.

But the sixth child felt a sense of crisis.

He probably explored the pool once. It is a cuboid with a side length of more than ten meters and a depth of six and a half meters.The volume of the pool is fixed, the thickness of the creeps is basically uniform, and the creeps on the side walls are far less than those at the bottom, so the total reserves of organic matter can be calculated with elementary school mathematics.

This reserve, compared to the consumption of the Boundless Hegemony... is too little.

Far from enough for resurrection.

How to do?
"It's better to restore the real vision first, and then search carefully. There must be other sources of nutrition." Lao Liu pondered, then he was taken aback, followed by a burst of nausea.

He thought about the word "nutrition" naturally, and he almost felt sick.

"I didn't choose...I didn't choose..."

The sixth child continued to control the nerve broom and began to filter-feed.

At this moment, his well-developed auditory and tactile systems suddenly caught a movement.Compared with the environment that has always been quiet, this movement is a bit too loud.

It's the sound of water.

It's like the sound of the upstairs neighbor pressing the toilet after squatting over the pit when living in a building.There was a snoring sound, and then the sound of splashing water from far to near, quickly approaching the water above.

In the spiritual space, Lao Liu's complexion changed, and then he didn't care to hide himself, and quickly rushed upwards with his brain, towards the place where the sound came from.

Shi Tiexin was taken aback: "What are you doing? There's too much noise!"

Old Six gritted his teeth: "I want to save people."

"Rescue?"

"Yes! Think about what happened to us, think about this pool, and the sound of the flushing water. Isn't it obvious that someone was washed down!" The sixth child was extremely eager: "That person is still alive, he is still alive Ah! That person doesn't know how to practice, and doesn't have a special constitution. How can a mere brain survive in this environment? I have to save people!"

Shi Tiexin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, and let the sixth child act.

Plop, something fell into the water.

Even if he didn't break through the second heaven, Shi Tiexin, the spiritual master, still clearly felt that there was a panic, despair, pain, and madness above him.

That brain is indeed alive.

The fluctuations in thinking flickered like crazy, and the brain without the barrier of the skull would not hide its thoughts at all.The mind-based mind technique automatically translates that thought, and the content is all the same sentence: "Help me!! Who will save me!! Help!!"

Lao Liu rushed over quickly, and rushed to the vicinity of the brain like crazy, his thoughts conveyed spiritual messages: "I'm here, I'm here to save you!"

Twelve pairs of cranial nerves waved together, wrapping around the brain like tentacles.But this time it's not devouring, but protecting.Nian Qi fluctuated and rippled, and Lao Liu's tentacles quickly cleaned the bacteria and fungi that were contaminated on the surface of the brain.

He cared for this brain like the most precious treasure, and sent a message with his thoughts: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I caught you, and I will protect you!"

But that brain didn't calm down.

Crazy signals are constantly bursting out between neurons, and all neural links have fallen into chaos.Life is a fragile thing, let alone an ordinary brain?

The cranial nerves of the sixth child found many small holes on the surface of the brain, and he realized that people like himself had been brain holed a long time ago, but his vast and powerful body quickly healed the slight damage, So he didn't feel it at all.

But the brain can't heal the damage.

The brain had been infected with bacteria on the way down the sewer.The bacteria drilled into the depths of the brain along those holes, causing the brain's thinking to collapse faster than imagined.

"Help!! I'm scared!!"

"dad--!!"

"Mother--!!"

"I want to go home!!"

"I want to go home!!"

The brain howled and said the same words over and over, and then quickly turned into meaningless noise.

The sixth child was so heartbroken that he yelled frantically: "Hold on! Don't give up!! Survive--!!!" His tentacles were emitting high-intensity thoughts, trying to heal the deep layers of the brain with the help of medical-based mind skills Infect.

The infection subsided quickly.

But the human brain does not survive without infection.

In the "hug" of the sixth child, the ganglia of the brain disintegrated in all directions, the nerve fibers were chaotically bridged, and various hormones were secreted chaotically, leading to death unstoppably.

"Don't! Don't! Survive---!!!" Lao Liu tried his best to save him, as if he was doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillating the heart.

But it didn't work.

He watched helplessly as the brain's thinking quickly disintegrated, and his mind collapsed into silence.

"Don't...don't...you survived...your parents are still waiting for you...you survived, okay..." Lao Liu cried, knelt down in the spiritual space, crying bitterly.

Shi Tiexin looked sympathetically.

He can understand this feeling.

Lao Liu worked so hard to save people not only because he wanted to save people, but also because of a sense of guilt.

Eat those "residues" and eat those "organic substances", will the sixth child feel free from the burden?No, he, who is kind by nature and repays his kindness, has a greater psychological burden than anyone else, he just doesn't say anything.

Saving this person is a kind of redemption for him, and saving others is saving himself.

But the man is still dead.

Shi Tiexin took a deep breath in the spiritual space, came behind Lao Liu, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, we can't do anything about it. Don't forget that this is a hypoxic environment, we can rely on yuan You can survive with all your strength, but ordinary people can't. That person has no chance of surviving, and you have tried your best."

The sixth child stopped crying.

He knelt on the ground and nodded calmly: "You are right. I... can't be depressed anymore, I have to cheer up."

The twelve pairs of nerves surrounding that brain suddenly tightened, and they actually began to devour it.

The person who was desperately trying to save just now, is this okay?

The sixth child's eyes were a little numb, and under the numbness was a dark fire.

He said to himself: "In this environment full of bacteria, I can't protect a corpse forever. Sooner or later, he will be decomposed by bacteria. The energy here is too poor, and I will definitely gobble up those bacteria again and again. , with the same result, but with too much waste."

"This man is dead, and death is death, ashes to ashes to ashes."

"I failed to save him, but I can inherit his energy and do more meaningful things."

"I'm going to survive, and I'll do whatever it takes to survive."

"Little Ling, you're still waiting for me."

Receiving high-protein material and energy supplements, the optic nerve terminal of the sixth child began to rapidly divide, differentiate, proliferate, and rebuild.

He had grown a pair of thin cellular structures dimpled like radio telescopes, which were his retinas.

Nianqi is quickly arranged on the retina, condensed into fixed runes, and the general-purpose pupil technique Guanlan Tianyan will fight again in the world.

At this moment, Lao Liu felt that his vision, which was originally pitch black and blurred, instantly became clear.

He can see things.

Although in a clear field of vision, it was also pitch black.But at least, he has real vision.

In the spiritual space, Lao Liu took a deep breath.

Jingle bells, the sound of wind chimes resounds through the soul, and the feeling of sublimation of life baptizes the whole body.

If I do switch defenses, I will stop playing from Sunday.The main reason is that my child's school is closed. I have to watch the child and do housework all the time. I have no time or energy to write.The family has been working hard for so long, and I have to take over and share.

　　The duration of the suspension is unknown, and when will the child resume classes and will be updated again.If the child has not resumed classes, it will be updated when I start to isolate.Will update normally tomorrow.If the defense is not changed on Sunday, it will be updated normally.Sorry for stopping again.
