"As we move, the organism also moves, just like it rotates and revolves around the sun, so we have the illusion of spinning in place."
Meng Xiaodao and Qi Hao understood a little.
"So, this fungus colony is obsessed with us? It wants to absorb us as nutrients?"
Chu Han shook his head, then nodded: "It's hard to judge. If they wanted to eat us, the best time to attack would have been when we were digging mushrooms in the hillside, but the mycelium didn't appear."
"There's a way," Shi Man said. "We're not moving now. We just need to observe whether the fungus colony beneath our feet moves."
"How do we observe it?" Meng Xiaodao was puzzled. "This fungus colony is so large, and we're right on top of it. There's no reference point around."
Song Yan: "There's no reference on the plane, but if you change your perspective, there will be a reference."
Shi Man opened the window, controlled the drone to fly out, and took off directly.
Meng Xiaodao understood immediately.
This is the same principle as humans observing the earth from space.
The drone rose to a height of one hundred meters and then hovered motionless. A holographic projection appeared in front of everyone, and everyone watched with bated breath.
One minute... five minutes... ten minutes passed...
Meng Xiaodao rubbed his sore eyes: "I think... it didn't move?"
"It really didn't move."
Shi Man said to Yang Benxin, "Drive, turn around and go back as fast as possible."
Yang Benxin immediately went to the driver's cab.
The RV restarted, but the drone was still hovering in the air and did not move with it. As the RV moved quickly, the originally still picture suddenly came alive.
At that moment, everyone's scalp went numb, because they saw that not only the RV was moving, but the ground covered with ice was also wriggling as if it were alive, moving in the direction of the RV. Its speed was not particularly fast, but it could not withstand the large area covered by the bacterial colony.
"Okay, stop." Shi Man signaled Yang Benxin to stop the car.
Everyone looked at each other. Although the car was warm, everyone felt a chill on their backs, except for Ellie. She looked like a madman in a novel who was ready to sacrifice her life for the cause.
"It seems we are being targeted by this fungus group."
Song Yan and Chu Han exchanged a glance. "Do you think it's a biological instinct similar to plants' attraction to light, or..."
Chu Han: "You mean the level of consciousness?" He shook his head. "I think the emergence of consciousness is unlikely. Then biology would really cease to exist. If consciousness existed, the evolution of this bacterial community would be hundreds of millions of years ahead of humans, and the Earth would be ruled by them."
"Um..." Meng Xiaodao swallowed his saliva. "Can we put aside the academic discussion for now? Shouldn't the focus now be on how to get rid of this bacterial colony?"
Everyone looked at Shi Man.
Only magic can fight magic.
Shi Man was silent.
Shi Man sighed, "The RV's top speed is 350km/h, and the Pure Land's top speed is 800km/h. However, if we use that top speed, we'll probably be in a lot of pain, but I think everyone should be able to tolerate it."
Everyone: This is unbearable, but we can't do that. Otherwise, we can just stay where we are and use it as fertilizer for the Cordyceps and mushrooms. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
