The final destination of the substances it absorbs is...
Xia Chuhe inevitably retched.
Having eaten for almost a day and a night, Xia Chuhe only vomited a little bit of acidic fluid.
Although it had been a long time since she had consumed nutritional supplements, and although she had only consumed a small amount, Xia Chuhe still felt nauseous.
Materially speaking, Xia Chuhe could understand that the nutrient solution contained only trace elements, but psychologically, it was difficult to accept at first.
Xia Chuhe used his healing ability to relieve the pain in his hand.
The minced meat is flowing in one direction.
Xia Chuhe gritted his teeth, hoisted the corpse onto his back, abandoned all thought, and moved forward in the direction the flesh was flowing.
The slope of the channel was very gentle, and the meat paste flowed slowly. As it flowed, the meat paste slowly turned black, as if something was gradually mixing into it.
The stench of rotting flesh was gradually masked by other smells; the damp, musty smell and the pungent ammonia smell mixed together, somewhat like the smell of fertilizer.
The flowing substance now looks more like viscous black soil.
The entrance to the passage gradually narrows, requiring one to bend over to pass through.
Xia Chuhe threw the body into the black clay and bent down to drag it forward.
The further you go, the smaller the opening becomes, to the point that you have to crouch to get through.
...
This is a gentle downhill slope, a cone-shaped ramp.
When you can't walk down while squatting, you should try crawling down.
And she needs to compete with the black clay for less and less space.
The ramp narrowed to only shoulder width, and Xia Chuhe was stuck in it, with no possibility of moving forward.
At this point, turning around is absolutely impossible; even if Xiao Sanhua came over, she probably couldn't do it.
There was no path ahead, and the corpses and black clay behind constantly increased the pressure behind them.
Xia Chuhe would get stuck in it, and only when the people at the base discovered that the black clay could not flow out would someone come to investigate the cause of the blockage.
At that time, they will see two bodies tied together blocking the passage.
...
The above is just one of the tragic ways Xia Chuhe imagined himself dying while squatting in the black clay.
Xia Chuhe would rather turn back and burn a hole in the life support filter than continue walking forward.
Unless the path ahead is clear.
Xia Chuhe released the hummingbird, turned on its recording function, and had it fly forward to see if it could get out.
The hummingbird flew forward for a short while before bringing back a video for Xia Chuhe—
The hummingbird lacks night vision, so the first half of the video is completely dark. Later, a little light appears. The light grows stronger, and the hummingbird moves to a brighter spot.
A smooth transition, with the hummingbird capturing the exit of the passage.
Judging from the video, the exit is quite large, about half a person's height. Given Xia Chuhe's size, he could squat down to get out.
Below the exit is a huge mixer, somewhat like the one you see in Birds of Prey, but without as many blades, and it doesn't look dangerous.
Xia Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief and decided to continue forward. If she had to lie down on the way ahead, she would immediately turn back, burn the life support filter, and find another way out.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur, and Xia Chuhe reached the exit safely. She untied the rope, threw the body on the ground first, and then jumped down from the edge of the mixer.
Xia Chuhe went to retrieve the body, and just as he reached the body, he bumped into a person who came out from behind a mixer.
Xia Chuhe: "..."
No, the hummingbird didn't take any pictures of people here!
The person who arrived was wearing a mask and stared in surprise.
Before he could even scream, Xia Chuhe's body acted before his brain could process it, grabbing his throat.
The man was short and not very strong. He forcefully tore at Xia Chuhe's hands and kicked wildly with his feet.
Xia Chuhe didn't see anyone else, nor could she tell where she was. Not wanting to recklessly wander into other places where it was difficult to get out, she shouted, "Move again and I'll strangle you! Don't move, don't shout, and I'll let you go."
The man still retained some rationality; he stopped his futile struggle, his hands and feet trembling slightly.
Xia Chuhe loosened his grip a little, but didn't completely let go of him.
After confirming that the man had stopped struggling, Xia Chuhe asked, "Where is this place?"
"Fertilizer factory," the man said, his voice hoarse.
Xia Chuhe eased his grip a little: "Is that black clay fertilizer?"
"Black clay is one of the raw materials. It needs to be mixed with other soil particles, stirred and dried before it can be made into fertilizer."
"Where will this fertilizer be used?"
"It's mainly used in mushroom cultivation bases." Seeing that Xia Chuhe didn't intend to harm him further, the man answered more and more fluently. "Some of it will undergo a fine processing procedure before being sent to the upper levels."
He seemed to think it was an honor to be associated with the upper class, and his back straightened unconsciously: "The upper class also needs to use the fertilizer we make to grow flowers!"
Do you know what black clay is made of?
“Black clay is black clay. I’ve worked in a fertilizer factory for several years and I’ve never heard of black clay requiring any processing.”
Hearing him say that, Xia Chuhe had already confirmed his identity, but still asked, "Are you a non-evolved being?"
A flash of resentment crossed the man's eyes. If he were also an evolved being, how could he be controlled by a woman?
Xia Chuhe snapped her fingers with great interest, and a flame half the height of a person shot out from her fingertip, affectionately scorching the man's eyebrows.
The faint smell of burnt protein filled the man's nostrils, and he froze in shock, even forgetting to scream.
"Don't be afraid, take me to the exit and I'll let you go," Xia Chuhe said with a smile.
