Origin of Mars

Chapter 46 Evolution
"Host?"

Fang Liang leaned down again, and observed the dark thing closely again.

Is this what is left of that civilization?

Or something you want to bury underground?

This reminded Fang Liang of an insect called a slug.

It's just that the surface of the black ball's body exudes a metallic luster, and the outer membrane hanging on the spikes also gradually loses moisture, becomes dry, and shatters piece by piece.

"So it's a parasite?"

Fang Liang turned his head and asked.

"Yes, parasites to be precise."

Zero answers.

Otherwise let this thing out?
This idea flashed in Fang Liang's mind, and he quickly denied it by himself.

Without confirming its specific characteristics, it is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to recklessly take this black ball out of the quartz cultivation chamber.

"Let me try first."

As Fang Liang said, he grabbed a fresh fruit from the side. It was square and looked like a big cake. There were many other mature crops in the metal basket, all of which were just transported by the robot from the experimental field.

Fang Liang held the square fruit and placed it on the robotic arm. The robotic arm slowly moved to the top cover of the cultivation chamber, passed through the gap, and stretched in.

At the same time, the spikes on the black ball swung upward one after another, like a group of iron filings attracted by a magnet. The oval body moved slowly, closely following the swinging mechanical arm of the hand.

Have a reaction? !

Fang Liang was overjoyed, and the controller's mechanical arm slowly lowered the square fruit. Following his movements, the black ball showed a strange emotion similar to excitement.

The spikes on the surface of the body vibrated rhythmically, pointing to the opposite side of Fang Liang's arm.

Until the square fruit came to the top of its head, there was only a distance of [-] centimeters.

The black ball has raised the front half of the body, and Fang Liang can just see its internal structure, which is a densely packed section of feet, which are closely connected, which looks a little scalp-numbing.

And at this moment, when the mechanical arm moved down a little more, the black ball suddenly popped up!A cloud of black shadow was spit out at an extremely fast speed, bypassing the fruit and directly sticking to the metal mechanical arm!

That is not a foot joint at all, but a huge mouthpart!It was wrapped in the gap of the armor.

The speed was so fast that Fang Liang didn't react at all, and froze in place.

And Zero on the side reacted in an instant, and the base device suddenly sprayed out a huge amount of liquid nitrogen, directly covering the black ball.

Fang Liang felt a strong suction force softening.

He finally reacted, and controlled the mechanical arm to jerk upwards, instantly throwing away the black matter that was about to seep into the tiny gap.

"Bang~"

The cultivation cabin fell down immediately, the black ball trembled violently, and when the liquid nitrogen jet ended, it also retracted its mouthparts, and its spikes shook violently.

I'm sorry!

Fang Liang was obviously terrified, and took a few steps back
This ghost thing actually wants to get into the mechanical arm! ?

Fang Liang looked at the black ball wriggling desperately back and forth in the cultivation cabin, and still felt a little scared in his heart.

"Extremely dangerous aggressiveness has been detected, will it be eliminated?"

Zero gently floated in the air, with a dangerous light flashing in his pupils.

As long as Fang Liang gives an order, no matter what method is used, it will make this thing completely disappear on this planet without leaving a trace.

"No, I seem to know something."

Fang Liang raised his hand to stop it, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ask the ore factory to send me some small ore!"

Ten minutes later, an industrial robot appeared at the gate of the origin base, put down a rectangular iron block with the length of an arm, saluted Fang Liang, and left the way it came.

The iron block could just be held in one hand, Fang Liang grabbed it tightly and came to the cultivation warehouse.

After the violent baptism of liquid nitrogen, the black ball looked a little sluggish.

The terrifying mouthparts full of suckers left a deep impression on Fang Liang.

How could there be such a terrifying thing hidden in the seemingly small and round body?

The cover was rotated inward, exposing a semicircular opening, and a pair of exquisite mechanical hands placed the iron block on the base, and then quickly left.

The black ball, which was getting more and more sluggish, instantly sensed the iron bar that was close at hand, the spikes revived, and the chameleon-like mouthparts came out again, instantly covering half of the iron bar.

Fang Liang's eyes froze, this scene made him feel a little weird.

"Zero, scan it!"

"clear."

Another robotic arm quickly moved the cultivation chamber to the position of the workbench, the green light beam passed through it, and a complete virtual figure was slowly being generated on Fang Liang's mask.

Fang Liang's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the picture clearly.

This mouthpart is transforming this iron bar in some way.

Countless strands of black silk extended from the sucker, penetrating into the body of the iron bar, like roots growing wantonly in the soil.

"The molecular structure of pig iron is being forcibly reorganized, and a very weak radioactive energy response."

There are more and more black silk threads, until the whole piece of pig iron is covered, and the silvery white luster has disappeared into the rich pitch black.

Afterwards, the body of the black ball was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It decomposes its own body vigorously to supply the growth of black silk threads.

Fang Liang looked at the screen of the instrument, which showed that the fluctuation curve of biological activity was rising at a constant speed.

This means that there is a life being recombined in the breeding chamber.

who is it?

This dissipating black ball, or this piece of pig iron?

Or at this time, this piece of pig iron covered with black threads is another form of black ball?
Fang Liang's temples throbbed slightly, and the body of the black ball had completely disappeared, not even leaving a trace.

"beep"

The fluctuation curve reached its peak, and this piece of pig iron had lost its original neat shape and turned into a pile of defective products that seemed to be pieced together from countless irregular parts.

Then, the black-colored piece of iron trembled under Fang Liang's horrified gaze.

Organs resembling octopus tentacles spread out from under it, trembling nervously, sucker sucked, and climbed up to the surface of the cultivation chamber.

A scarlet thing that can be called an eye is located in the center of this strange body.

It was staring at Fang Liang, and then climbed to the upper end of the breeding chamber with its suction-cup feet, and hit the upper lid of the chamber desperately, trying to escape from this confined space.

This scene, like a horror movie, made Fang Liang's throat tighten, and he even wanted to spit out a few words of national essence to express his emotions.

"Sir, it has evolved, with the help of this piece of pig iron."

Zero said softly.
