Vol 6 Chapter 515: White world

"Oh... call for help... oh..."
"Although I know...it is unlikely to have a signal...but..."
"We must... oh... contact... oh... help..."
Here, it is somewhere in the void, a world that is forgotten. △
The snowy and soft material covers the entire land, and the sky will occasionally drop the white particles of the sky, and the stellar light is also blocked by the endless fog.
In this world, almost everything is dyed white.
However, some creatures have not yet been infected, have not been assimilated, they have never given up... They have been trying to contact the outside, but they can't succeed, they don't know it.
"Is it still not responding..."
In the dim mist, a group of creatures gather under a huge rock, constantly tuning a mechanical device in front of them.
"No use, captain, no response."
These creatures are Atlan, who used to be involved in the attack on the pompoms, and were later abandoned by the brain.
At first, they lived a life that escaped hiding.
Things like fungi were transmitted to the world, and then they madly spread. During this period, the horrible fungus had swallowed up all the creatures known as 'cleaners'. It thrives among a huge amount of nutrients and eventually covers the whole world.
Nowadays, most of the world is covered with a white ‘carpet’, which has become a world of fungi.
But even in this world, there are still some creatures that have survived. They are... Atlan. They can live not just because they are also numerous. Also because they are wearing armor.
A kind of void-specific action armor can protect them from infection, and they have found some places where no fungus has spread, and where they can hide.
But to live, it means that they need food, water, and air, and ... hope to live.
In this world covered by fungi, perhaps the last point is the motivation for them to survive.
A lot of living Atlan made up a small camp. They usually hide underground, and sometimes go out to find something.
Things to look for include food and machinery.
This Atlan squad is a team that looks for machinery and food. It is a team of five Atlans who are responsible for finding the mechanics of the fungus-covered area.
Although Brain Spirit has previously driven away the spacecraft that can take them away, but left a lot of underground or above-ground bases, there are many mechanical devices in these bases, Atlan tried to find some useful devices, and then tried Make things like a spaceship or a contact device.
"It seems that the signal is not good here."
In addition to looking for this Atlan team, there is another task, which is to contact the outside world.
They believe. They must have any troops in the void outside, just contact. They will fly over to rescue.
"We should probably try it in a higher place." Atlan's captain looked at the team member in charge of the contact: "Remove that thing, we have to go."
"Yes." The team member put the contact device on his back. The device is like a square and is very large. It is not convenient to pick up, but it is this shape that can be used to contact the troops in the void.
They think so.
"So, captain, where should we go next?"

It’s very close to the danger zone...
the captain said, climbing over the big rock and looking at it from the perspective of it, you can see a white earth, which is the result of a large number of hyphae covering. This piece of land has been covered with a layer of hyphae.
The rug is also covered with tiny fluff, which occasionally trembles and releases fine particles into the air.
This is also the reason for the formation of fog in the air.
"If you can get there, it will be fine..." The captain stood on the stone and looked into the distance covered by the fog, where he could see a huge object faintly.
Its height is above 100 meters, and the thick stalk supports the umbrella structure with a diameter of more than ten meters at the top. This is something called ‘large umbrella.’
"Those things are getting bigger and bigger." One of the team members climbed the stone and looked into the distance: "How big do they have to grow up? I didn't see that big at first..."
"No matter how much." The captain said: "Check out the dangers there."
In this fungus world, there are many safe or dangerous areas for Atlan, which are mainly based on the density of dust in the air.
When the concentration of the dust is small, they have no problem wearing armor, and the concentration is large, they can only move for a certain period of time. If it is too large, the air filter on the armor will be blocked quickly, and even a leak will occur.
So they can only be moved in areas with low concentrations.
At first, the concentration was very large everywhere. At the time, Atlan didn't dare to approach the area covered by fungi within one kilometer... but now I don't know why, the concentration of dust seems to have decreased a lot, so Atlan came here.
"Captain, the concentration is within safe limits." A team member in charge of the test pressed the button on the helmet: "We can go in."
"Well, although the contact is not successful, we still have to find food." The captain said: "Go into the hunt."
As it spoke, it jumped from the stone and stepped into the white carpet on the ground, splashing a white dust.
The Atlans carry the weapons in their hands and move forward on this foggy and soft carpet. They will ignite a dust powder every step of the way, but these dust particles will soon be scattered to the ground and will not exacerbate the air. Dust concentration.
"There!" Suddenly, the captain stopped and its helmet showed an active object not far from the front.
Under the captain's voice, all the players immediately guarded, they raised the weapons in their hands, step by step quietly approaching the target...
"Just in that place..."
Slowly, they saw the target in the mist. It was a beetle-like creature. It was one meter tall and three meters long. It looked like it was not very big, but it was actually heavy.
And this creature is the prey that the Atlantians have to capture recently.
Atlanta used to eat food here, but most of the areas where food is stored are contaminated with fungi, and although there are still a few left, they will soon be eaten up.
Atlan initially had no way of reducing food.
Because it is impossible to grow things here, and there is no way to find other foods. Although there is groundwater, the things that are planted will soon be infected by fungi.
Atlan discovered this creature by chance... they called it a 'fungal beetle'.
This creature came about a while after the fungus spread to almost the entire world. Atlan tried to catch some and wanted to study them to see how they relate to fungi.
However, during the course of the study, they found that the beetles had no fungi and no infectious things like fungi, and the cells inside were judged to be quite nutritious.
Of course, Atlan initially didn't dare to eat, but then the food in their camp was quickly exhausted. After the food was eaten, there was an Atlan who ate the beetle in case of hunger.
And it has been alive yet.
Atlan found that as long as the dust on the shell of the caught beetle was burned, there was no danger in eating the inside. Of course, the internal organs such as the stomach could not be eaten. This news was also spread to many Atlant camps. Now they are all trying to catch these beetles for food.
The only difficulty in catching a beetle is that you can't make any damage to its outer shell, or the dust will enter the wound, so you can't eat it.
'boom--! ’
Atlan's captain pressed the weapon in his hand, and with a burst of sound, a large net was launched from the cylindrical weapon and instantly covered the beetle.
"Catch it!"
The beetle struggled in the net, but couldn't open the metal-structured net. Several Atlan immediately ran forward and tied the net with a metal rope.
"This thing can be eaten for many days!"
"Yeah, and it's very good, and the number is quite large, although I don't know where it came from..."
"According to research, their stomachs are able to dissolve the bacteria without being infected. If we study further, we may not be infected anymore... I have to admit that the recent situation is getting better and better."
"Yeah, the concentration has dropped, and there are also prey that can be captured... Captain, we should go back... Captain?"
Several Atlan dragged the beetles and wanted to leave, but they found the captain standing in the same place and staring at the giant mushroom that was more than ten meters away.
The captain suddenly said: "I want to climb up and see."
"What?" A team member was shocked: "Why climb up?"
"There." The captain pointed to the top of the mushroom: "The top of it has stretched out the range of dust and fog, there may be better signals there, we can try to contact the troops outside..."
"team leader……"
In fact, the players here know that what is in contact with the outside is just a comfort to the heart. They have basically thought that it is impossible to contact the rescue team.
"There is hope, I have to try it." The captain said: "You can go back and give me the communicator. I climbed up."
"..." Several players looked at each other. A team member stood up and said, "We won't go back first. Anyway, this bug can't escape. Let's go up together." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, novels Better updated faster!
