Chapter 1191: Chapter 179: I… Am I a Test Subject?! (7800)_3
But now is not the right ti.
“This protective layer is actually more than ten ters thick?!”
After entering through a broken corner of the Exotic Species Research Institute, Sio couldn’t help but marvel. Even the high walls of the Imperial Capital probably aren’t this solid—inside, it’s a hollow biomass structure.
“Basic communication has been disrupted.” Yisen Gard also keenly realized that from the mont they entered the black wall, communications with the outside world had completely disappeared. No electromagnetic signals, nor Spirit Energy, could easily penetrate these high walls capable of withstanding the Calamity of Heavenly Fall.
After all, these walls are ant to block cosmic rays and Spirit Energy.
But this doesn’t stop the Terra People from exploring—from the mont they entered through a gap, the first thing everyone saw was not the internal scene of the Exotic Species Research Institute, but a seven-ter-high communication base station, a small communication tower. Arcs of electricity danced on the tower.
“This communication base station was built by the advance team, it can maintain communication between the first and second layers.”
While logging the communication devices of the team’s mbers at the base station, Anfa explained: “Thus, strong individuals at the Fourth Energy Level outside can roughly grasp the situation in the ruins. Even in the third layer, they can detect the life signals of important exploration personnel, and if anything unexpected happens, they will imdiately co to the rescue.”
“Having professional help is different indeed.”
Ian was sowhat moved, rembering when he and Yisen Gard explored the South Sea Great Labyrinth, it wasn’t so simple. There was neither an advance team nor logistics personnel, everything was a hassle, and if not for carrying potions, he might not have had the energy to defeat the Nest Brain in the end.
But now? Behind him lays resources asured by containers… This is what it’s like to rely on a major power’s exploration operation.
Passing through the gap, behind the black wall is a vast and bright river plain. Above the steel do, rows of sun lamps are shining, providing the plants inside with ample light and nutrients, while artificial rivers provide necessary irrigation for all plants. With the temperature over a thousand ters deep underground already quite warm, this area just so happens to be the temperate plain region most suitable for human habitation.
This is the Exotic Species Research Institute’s first layer, the Accumulated Water Plains.
Based on experience in the South Sea Great Labyrinth, Ian confird that this is the outer breeding zone created by the pre-era civilization, used as a buffer, and to provide food and resources during the end tis. Among the plains are many harmless breeding animals, not too different from the common pigs and cattle outside of Terra, just without much strength.
If the wild boars and dostic pigs outside have differences due to their wildness, the gap between Terra’s dostic pigs and the pre-era dostic pigs is also vast. These dostic animals from the pre-era civilization are very docile, almost entirely non-aggressive.
“Huh, what kind of fish is this?”
Sio was very interested in all this; she made it a point to check the specific at quality of these breeding animals wandering the grasslands. Upon confirming they were quite ordinary, she returned disappointedly, shaking her head.
However, on the way back, she found a rather peculiar creature in the nearby small river—it was a fluffy fish covered in steel hair. From afar, it looked like a fluffy ball drifting in the water, and since it looked quite cute, the Dragon Maiden scooped it up out of curiosity.
“Ian, Ian! What kind of creature is this? Why is it all fur with hardly any flesh?”
Although Sio seed to treat Ian as an answer machine, Ian didn’t mind using his knowledge to identify this unusual creature: “Let take a look…”
Ian took the fluffy fish from Sio, gazed at it for a good while without using Spirit Energy or the Silver Chip, then suddenly smiled: “Interesting. Pre-era civilization is indeed fascinating.”
“What is it?” Now not only Sio but also Yisen Gard and Anfa leaned over, curiously asking, “Ian, do you know what this fish is?”
Upon hearing this, Anfa rubbed his chin, sowhat wistfully saying: “My scholars spent weeks but couldn’t find the origin of this creature nor comprehend the design ideas of the pre-era civilization. Ian, you can tell just by looking at it?”
“Of course.”
Ian responded, picking up the fluffy fish and pressing it against his boot: “Because this is a kind of biological brush from the pre-era civilization that turned into a fish after becoming wild!”
Scratching sound, the steel hair on the fluffy fish was neither too soft nor too hard, containing a certain amount of moisture—just right for brushing shoes, which made them clean effortlessly. After cleaning his shoes, Ian tossed the fluffy fish back into the river under the dumbfounded gaze of his companions: “It’s an artificial biological tool that evolved into real life over ti… You might feel insulted by this feeling.”
Turning his head, Ian looked at Sio and Anfa, sincerely saying: “But, don’t you think, this is quite similar to the True Dragon?”
“Well… indeed.”
Anfa fell into contemplation, while Sio pondered for a while, sowhat dejectedly saying: “Can’t refute it… Even my mom often says that in her generation, True Dragons are already complete lifeforms… Exactly, True Dragons, put simply, are also from ancient Creators’ tools gradually becoming real life… I’m even born from my mom!”
“Rember to say mother.” Ian reminded: “The King sees everything.”
“Ah, this…” Sio was dumbstruck, hastily apologizing into the void, then putting on a look of a dignified lady.
