Yan Xiu locked onto it almost immediately with his divine sense, and chased after the fly with a huge acceleration.

But Yan Xiu soon discovered that it was impossible to catch up - the speed change of the fly in the air was much more flexible and quicker than that of him holding a flying sword.

In Wu Xiaoqing's eyes, the lines drawn by the fly's flight path in the air are just like the paintings of three or four-year-old children, completely chaotic and without rules.

Wu Xiaoqing tried to reach out and catch the flies several times as they passed by him - but it was completely useless.Although this fly is man-made, it is more flexible than the naturally born flies on the earth.

Not to mention him, even Yan Xiu looked embarrassed when facing the fly.Obviously this gadget is right in front of them, buzzing endlessly, they just can't do anything about it.

"Yanxiu, try your Qianyang finger," the search and rescue team said, "it should be able to lock."

"But..." Yan Xiu only said one word.

But both Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team understood what he meant.

Qianyang Finger, that is, the laser launcher, is the most powerful weapon they have seen in the Ascension Realm so far. Even a weapon of such strength as the Feijian can cut two halves neatly—if it is used in this small area If it is only on a fly, then the whole fly must be wiped out in an instant.

"It's okay," the search and rescue team said. "The energy level of the laser transmitter can be adjusted. You just need to follow my instructions."

Both Yan Xiu and Wu Xiaoqing slowed down their body movements, they fell silent, and the fly also slowed down, but it didn't rush to escape from them—it just continued to linger among the corpses between them.

During this process, Wu Xiaoqing could clearly see every detail of the fly's movements.The glasses locked on every movement of it, and Wu Xiaoqing could even clearly see how his wings vibrated through slow motion, and when it stayed on the surface of the corpse, he used his legs to gently extract something from the surface of the corpse.

At this time, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that this fly did not have six legs like the flies on the earth, nor did it have complicated compound eyes, and there was no appearance on the surface of the body.If you look carefully at the magnified appearance, you can even feel a little metallic luster.

It has four legs in total, and each leg is hollow in the middle.When he stayed on the surface of the corpse, when his legs came into contact with the corpse, some skin tissue on the surface would be automatically put into the body—and then, some small substances would be injected from the body.

These substances are almost imperceptible - even in glasses.Glasses can't tell what the exact composition of these trace substances is, because they're so small that they're beyond the limit of magnification.But the glasses can roughly analyze the amount of matter—calculated by the search and rescue team, it is only equivalent to the weight of a few cells.

Just when Wu Xiaoqing had just obtained some results in observing the flies, Yan Xiu also set up the Qianyang finger. He picked up the Qianyang finger and lifted it a little in the air. A moment, and then the fly was concentrated.

Qian Yangzhi's laser precisely focused on the fly's two wings for flight—making him completely incapacitated.Then, Yan Xiu went over and gently grabbed the thing with just two fingers.

……

Yevgeny saw the three-dimensional view of this kind of thing on the computer for the first time.

The entire structure of this "bug" is actually very simple. There are many "glasses" densely arranged on the head and sides of the body, but these eyes are not biological organs, but artificial objects like cameras.

The main torso of the "worm" is densely divided into circuits. These circuits look to people, as if someone is using the material that etched the cpu circuit to draw a picture in the worm.

The whole bug can almost be regarded as a whole product, not so much a fly, but actually it is more like a miniature, highly integrated circuit board.

In the case of sufficient light, the maximum magnification of Wu Xiaoqing's glasses is [-] times.

After being magnified to [-] times, this "fly" does not look like an insect at all. In fact, it is more reminiscent of a fighter jet fighting in the air.

Every tiny "organ" in its body is actually composed of dense circuits and sensors.In the core area of ​​the fly's torso, there is a short loop of wires—this is the energy source of the entire fly.That's a length of superconducting wire -- placed here, it acts like a battery.

In other spaces in the torso, there is a complete storage area.

By zooming in, several people can clearly see that the "storage area" has been filled with many granular substances. After further zooming in, it can be clearly seen that these granular substances seem to be relatively intact skin cells.Judging from this point, the most likely function of these collected samples is to collect DNA information to establish the identity of the deceased.

In addition, there is a lot of transparent liquid in the abdominal cavity, which is stored in the hollow cavity—like the poisonous glands of poisonous creatures.

Seven hours later, the worm was escorted back to the space station by Wu Xiaoqing and Yan Xiu.

There is a special magnifying glass in the space station. Of course, it is not brought from the earth, but an instrument that exists in the medical department of the space station itself.This kind of instrument is connected with a 3D projector, and they only need to put the bug in, and then they can project all the details in the picture of the projector.

On the way back all the way, more discoveries were also in the camera, and they were verified one by one.

Those corpses bitten by "flies", without exception, began to rot, and it rotted very quickly.It is the flesh and blood decomposing at a visible speed.But it’s not as disgusting as the decay of corpses on Earth—the whole process is fast-forwarded in the camera. It’s not so much decay as it is degradation—whether it’s skin, internal organs, bones, or nerves. Cells throughout the body seem to be lysing automatically.

I have to say that the disappearance process of the corpse in Ascension Realm is quite beautiful.

The body that looked complete and "fresh" at first, just a few hours later, the skin and flesh began to liquefy - the main water began to precipitate, and at the same time, the protein and muscle tissue began to evaporate like water.

After extracting the "venom" from the bugs, the search and rescue team experimented with several corpses placed in the space station—the same result was soon obtained.

It can basically be determined that the liquid substance injected contains special fungi.

Because of the lack of relevant observation equipment, they could not determine the specific species of this bacterium.

But its function has been clarified, and it also explains the problem of how the corpse degrades on this planet-it is specially used for this kind of "artificial fly".

Throughout the degradation process, the reaction proceeded perfectly—there was not even a rancid smell and other potentially unpleasant phenomena in the middle.In Ascension Realm, the death of a corpse is just like in online games, it exists as a background board for a while, and then suddenly disappears.

With this breakthrough discovery, soon, several other observation points also found the same video information one after another—as long as there are corpses, there will be a few sporadic flies like this.

They stop on each corpse one by one, collect the cells, inject the bacteria-carrying fluid, and then leave.No one in the entire Ascension Realm noticed such a subtle movement, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.

The discovery of "artificial flies" is obviously a great encouragement to Wu Xiaoqing and the others, which means that the search and rescue team's plan is in the right direction, and it can be said that the first problem envisaged by Rao Xin has been given. great answer.

But the second problem, which Wu Xiaoqing thought would be easier to find, has not been resolved.

The space station has begun to receive newcomers who died two months before the war and were reborn.This means that the rebirth of the entire Ascension Realm, just like the degradation of corpses, has been going on all the time, just because of the secrecy of the means-they haven't discovered it yet.

It is understandable that a few bacteria contained in flies can degrade the whole carcass.But it is undoubtedly much more difficult to place the whole person suddenly and abruptly in this world without being discovered by anyone.

In the next few days, Wu Xiaoqing continued to install more monitors at more observation points according to the original plan.

During this process, the space station, as the rescue center for refugees and the largest supplier of equipment in the entire Ascension Realm, also began to provide a large number of rebels to the nearby areas in large quantities.

The coalition army commanded by Bai Feng has already encountered several small-scale rebels, and their records are not bad, and they have won many victories.But gradually, they also began to realize that the biggest problem in the entire Ascension Realm didn't seem to be the rebels.

With more and more rebels around the forbidden area, they began to realize that if they needed to win the war, capturing the forbidden area seemed to be their only option.

When Wu Xiaoqing returned to the space station several times recently, he had begun to notice that the number of the nine factions around the space station had begun to increase significantly.

But the coalition forces of the nine factions currently have no advantage, and they will never think about having any advantage again—there are too many guns in the space station, not only many, but also of very good quality, all of which are the latest products.

Within a range of 200 kilometers around the space station, there are almost everywhere "mobile dead zones" created by rebel patrols.Several times some masters of the Nine Great Sects have ventured through these soulless areas—but Wu Xiaoqing and the others still have Yanxiu.

Yanxiu in the spiritless area is now a more terrifying existence than the Sanmai Daoist in the past.This made the situation of the Nine Great Factions more embarrassing - if you want to fight, you can't fight, but if you don't fight, obviously you can only wait for death.
