Chapter 134 The creatures from the mantle
Then.
With the help of detection equipment on building robots.
Su Wu''s attention soon moved to a half-closed door next to the hall.
Because the air conditioner in the shelter is still operating normally.
The temperature in most parts of the shelter is kept at around 26 degrees.
The temperature in the room next door was as high as 45 degrees.
Obviously not normal.
Manipulate the construction robot to pick up the assault rifle in its hand and carefully push open the door.
A spherical body composed of lilac crystals and rocks, reflected in Su Wu''s eyes.
"What''s that."
Su Wu was a little confused.
However, after discovering that there was no movement in the room.
He was cautious not to let the construction robot move.
Instead, scan the panoramic view of the entire room first, and then use the on-board intelligence to conduct further analysis.
Half a second later.
A large amount of data and speculative conclusions appear on the screen.
Su Wu glanced at him a few times.
I immediately grasped the key point.
All the food in this room, which was wrapped in plastic, has disappeared.
At the same time, there are still a small amount of bones and foreign matters on the ground, which are suspected to have encountered strong corrosion.
"Is this a monster eating up even the leather and bones?"
Too obvious clue.
This forced Su Wu to have such an idea.
And when he once again focused on the huge spherical body in the middle of the room.
The eyes were full of vigilance to look at an unknown ferocious creature.
The construction robot is manipulated to aim the automatic rifle there and pull the trigger.
After a bang of gunshot.
A little sparks splashed on the surface of the spherical body, and a shallow pit appeared on it.
Bullet attacks are effective.
But the damage is not enough.
Su Wu immediately asked the construction robot to take a few steps back and hang a grenade under the automatic rifle.
Shoot again.
Accompanied by a violent explosion.
A small piece of the outer layer of the spherical body was exploded, revealing biological tissue that seemed to be muscle-like inside.
And when facing the situation where you are exposed to the outside world.
The muscle tissue seemed to finally react and began to move.
But Su Wu waited for a few seconds.
I found that the opponent was more unconsciously reacting and did not make any effective counterattacks or defensive actions.
This gave him a little relief.
The tension in my heart also eased a lot at this time.
Since it cannot stop the shooting of bullets and grenades.
That proves that it is just an ordinary creature, and there is no need to be afraid.
And the fear disappeared.
The idea of ??research becomes stronger.
Consider it briefly.
Su Wu decided to be a little more conservative.
Don''t be alive, just study the corpse.
Under his decision.
A reconnaissance drone affiliated with a miniature mecha ejected quietly from the body.
Then, through the double isolation door in the car, leave the base car.
Arrived above the shelter.
Subsequently, more combat units in the land combat cluster began to approach the shelter.
The flamethrower that was originally guarding the entrance of the shelter.
Then enter the shelter.
Instead of the construction robot, it began to attack the spherical body.
A large number of high-temperature flames enveloped the muscle tissue exposed from the spheroid.
It continuously outputs huge amounts of heat.
But at this time.
Those muscle tissues showed amazing resistance.
They were still squirming in the flames as usual, as if they were not affected at all. Until ten minutes later.
When the second rotating flamethrower is about to run out of fuel.
It seemed like breaking a certain boundary.
The muscle tissue began to coke and peel off rapidly.
Exposes deeper inside, like a brain tissue.
And here.
Its defense is even more fragile.
From being exposed to being burned to ashes.
Only a few seconds passed.
Half a minute later.
When the flames go out.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The entire spherical body is left with the outermost layer, a shell made of amethyst and rock.
And the amethyst, which had originally shined with a glimmer of light, became dim and turbid at this moment, and countless subtle cracks appeared on the surface.
"The temperature has completely returned to normal."
"It should be fine."
Wait patiently for a few minutes.
With the support of various data transmitted back by construction robots and reconnaissance drones, Su Wu came to the conclusion that the unknown creature had been wiped out.
Let the construction robot go up and clean the site.
Su Wu thought for a moment.
Out of awe of the unknown.
He was still not going to take the wreckage back to the base car.
It was just that the left-behind construction robots moved the laboratory equipment on the base car to the shelter.
The wreckage left by the unknown creature was inspected on the spot.
And in the process of handling laboratory equipment.
The construction robot located inside the shelter also after determining that unknown biological remains do not have any potential for threat.
Start a further search of the entire refuge.
To determine whether there are no similar monsters, and to try to call up the internal surveillance of the shelter.
See if you can find any effective information.
In this orderly busyness.
Several hours passed in a flash.
It was light and dawn.
Su Wu, who had not slept all night, got a detailed test report.
"This thing."
"It actually comes from deep underground?"
Whether Su Wu is willing or not to believe it.
The test results of the wreckage all show that this unknown creature is likely to come from the asthenosphere in the upper half of the planet''s mantle between 70 kilometers and 250 kilometers underground.
That kind of place is the birthplace of magma.
The average temperature is above 700 degrees.
In theory, there should not be any organism.
"This is an isolated case."
“There will still be a lot.”
Su Wu''s expression gradually became serious and realized the serious nature of the matter.
It would be fine if it was an isolated case.
In case there are more unknown creatures in the asthroid of the mantle.
It was simply a terrible disaster.
Recalling the records found in the surveillance of the shelter, Su Wu was a little chilled.
This unknown creature was originally only the size of a fist.
With the super earthquake more than ten days ago, it appeared in the cracked exterior wall of the shelter.
Then, after the owner of the shelter discovered it and placed it in the material warehouse.
Then slowly swallowing nearby organic matter.
In about ten days, it expanded to the size of a basketball.
And at this stage.
It clearly obtained a cross-generational evolution.
Evolved from plants to animals.
Have strong active predation ability.
It can eject a tiny red silk thread like a blood vessel, actively wrapping around the approaching human beings.
Then release intense anesthetic substances.
Let it be in a coma and be decomposed and swallowed little by little by little by little by red silk thread.
