A dark underground tunnel.
After being knocked out, the three little Cutes were dragged here by a group of slime-mold fruit bodies, and then they moved to a claustrophobic room.
This seems to be a part of Qingquan City’s underground transportation network, but it has been transformed by plaques beyond recognition and it is impossible to tell where it is.
The first player who woke up shook his head and pushed his hands to the ground. He felt his hands sticky and he was startled when he opened his eyes.
I saw a scarlet red around me, and the swelling of fungi blankets were like fresh pieces of meat, emitting an unsettling odor.
The big pig's trotter stared blankly around and it took a long time to put in a word.
Damn it?What the hell is this?
Why did you move your position after just a while when you returned to the line?
At this time, another abducted man and woman woke up and were frightened to death when they saw the surroundings.
Hunger Force: I'm gia... We won't be swallowed by slime mold, right?
Lowering to the hungry forces: Wake up, you are such a big lump, how can you swallow it if you don’t chew it.
Hunger Force: …?
He bowed to the hungry forces: I was wrong.
At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the dark entrance in front of him.
It was two people tall and burly, and its burly body almost filled the entire passage. It had only abstract facial features on its face, its upper body was burly and sturdy, its lower body was a stretched skirt, and its edges were rolling with octopus tentacle-like cilia.
It is somewhat similar to Xiaoyu when he was still a mother, but it is obviously bigger and there are even fewer human elements.
The three of them were shocked by this guy's abstract appearance and retreated with a ghost-like expression.
Unfortunately, this is a dead end, and behind them is the wall, and there is no room to move.
Seeing the guy slowly squirming his tentacles and moving to him, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, swallowing his saliva, and placing his neck hard.
Gu... Kill me, I won't say anything!
By the way, she had long wanted to try this line, and the key point was that they didn't know anything about these new Cutes.
I don’t know if I understood her words or just heard the sound, the alien species turned her abstract facial features towards her, and the hem of the skirt that was sticking to the ground suddenly opened a crack.
Just as everyone was wondering what it was going to do, countless tentacles rushed out of the gap and instantly pulled her into the open bloody mouth.
Even the screaming Wuka didn't have time to make a sound, and the hungry force that was still stubborn the previous second disappeared into the closed mouth.
The spreading skirt was swelling up and down, as if chewing carefully.
Seeing that his partner was eaten by a monster in person, he bowed his head to the hungry force and was stunned for a short time, and then let out a cry of tragedy.
Wife!!I've fought with you!
After saying that, he struggled to stand up and rushed towards the monster who was two-tall in his fist.
However, his fate is no different from the previous players.
Before he could run two steps, he was tripped by a tentacle that slipped out from under his skirt, like a mosquito falling in front of a frog, and was licked into the bloody mouth without any suspense.
Both a dog and a woman died.
Siya, who had a full meal, shook the tentacles under her and slapped the ground happily, like chewing the steak in her mouth.
But the abstract facial features were still a little confused, as if they were wondering something.
Looking at the scarlet skirt that was constantly stimulating, the big pig's trotter's nervous face turned pale, and his eyes turned in desperation.
Big brother!Don't eat me, I don't taste delicious... I will surrender!Are you missing a translation?I will be your second-five!
I heard that this game has a high degree of freedom.
What if it is done?
Siya looked at him with abstract facial features. After thinking for a while, she suddenly opened the hem of the skirt that was against the ground again without warning.
Looking at the clothes falling out of it and the tentacles rolling like meat grinders, the big pig's trotter had already premonitioned his ending, and his face changed suddenly.
This is all dead!
我 Tea
Before he could curse the dog planner, the open bloody mouth swallowed him in.He didn't even have a chance to resist, and his only remaining consciousness merged into the scarlet sea of blood.
Feeling the breath of life melting into his body, Xiya chewed quietly for a while, and the confusion on his face gradually turned into incomprehensible depression.
strangeness……
It seemed that he had noticed the child's confusion, and the mother's voice quietly appeared in its hazy sea of consciousness.
What's wrong?My child.
Facing the empty scarlet walls and the indigested impurities left at feet, Siya whispered silently.
They are empty.
Those guys are empty shells.
And it is a pure empty shell than simple organisms such as cockroaches and mice, just like a blank piece of paper without any information.
This is the first time since it was born that it has seen such a strange creature.
This kind of thing cannot be assimilated, or even assimilated, it has no meaning. They are just walking corpses.
It cannot understand what they really are.
Are they, like their mother's sons, all puppets dominated by a consciousness outside of their bodies?
But they showed strong autonomy again.
Confusion rose on Siya's face.
Could it be...
These humans also have maternal nests?
……
They are assimilated heterogeneity.
Sanctuary No. 404, B4 Browsing Room.
He Ya, sitting on the sofa, briefly described the preliminary test results of the Alliance Institute of Biology for two fruit entity samples to Chu Guang and Yin Fang.
Hearing an unexpected and interesting statement, Yin Fang put down the coffee cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows with interest.
assimilation?
Hea nodded seriously and continued.
That's right...slime molds collect their DNA data, and while absorbing their organic matter, they retain some of the neural tissues that originally belonged to those organisms.
After a pause, she continued.
Do you still remember Bach?It is the guy who is parasitized by slime mold. He has similarities with those special fruiting entities, except that the slime mold in Qingquan City is obviously more aggressive than Yongdong City. The slime mold here is more thorough in assimilation, turning most of the captured organisms into part of their own body, retaining only a small part of the host's brain tissue.
In a sense, this is actually an improvement for the variant slime mold in Qingquan City.
It's similar to going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
In addition to making the bones of prey into weapons, they also learned to domesticate themselves, that is, to cultivate the prey into a combat servant who obeys themselves.
Yin Fang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Chu Guang, who had not spoken, coughed gently.
Can I change the statement I can understand?
Hea patiently explained.
Simply put, they made improvements based on unified consciousness. In the past, whether it was a chewer or a crawler, they hunted under the guidance of their mother's nest. Now some special fruit entities retained their combat experience before being assimilated and were able to hunt in the original way with the stronger body given to them by slime mold.
Yin Fang said in a word.
It is equivalent to a combat robot installed with intellectual plug-ins and not controlled by cloud servers.
Hea snapped his fingers.
That's right!
Chu Guang touched his chin and thought.
Is this meaningful?
Yin Fang analyzed according to his own understanding.
The significance is that the mother nest can allocate more of the "computing resources" of the hive to the strategic level command, while some higher fruit entities and evolution can make tactical decisions based on experience.Even though their tactics are not necessarily clever, they are more flexible and changeable than before... Do I understand this correctly?
Hea smiled and nodded.
That's right, that's it!
He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, Yin Fang sighed and said.
It evolved to this point in just one year... The evolution speed of this thing is too exaggerated.
Hea shook his head.
It's not a year, evolution is a long-term process.They have been learning from us, whether it is our tools or our society... I prefer to think that the emergence of alliances has accelerated their evolution to some extent, but what really prompted them to achieve change from quantitative to qualitative is their long-term observation of us.
Spore clouds are spread all over Qingquan City, and the mother in the city center can indeed see them.
Just as the Alliance's Biological Institute has been looking for a solution to the mother's nest, that guy must be tirelessly looking for a solution to the disintegration of human society.
Perhaps it would be better to eradicate them in the early days of the Wasteland Era, and the slime molds at that time would not be as difficult as they are now.
But these are all later stories.
People at that time also had trouble at that time, and it was not easy to survive in the severe cold of several dozen degrees below zero, not to mention fighting an unprepared battle against unknown enemies.
Actually...I am more worried about another thing than what you said.
Seeing the two of them looking at him, Chu Guang paused and continued slowly.
They gradually learn to hide themselves in evolution, while tempting us, while consciously preventing us from obtaining their wreckage.
They seem to know us more and more.

"Wasteland OL" official website.
Unlike the solemn atmosphere in the browsing room, the forum is currently lively.
Since the release of the new expansion pack, players have been looking forward to the new work that dog plans to create, but this time it did not disappoint.
The original wave was a group of sub-entities rushing up A. Now, these sub-entities not only can move, but also have a shocking wave of cooperation. They even kidnapped three small Cutes under the nose of Brother Quanshui.
This is something that no one expected.
Quit smoking: Ah!
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: Even Dog Spring Water is defeated, it’s unscientific!(funny)
Commander Quanshui: Get out, I’m not disappointed. I’ve picked up a corpse and it’s already considered a great contribution!
Irena: What about the remaining corpses?Isn’t there another monster?(curious)
Commander of the Spring Water: After the fog dissipated, it was gone. It was probably either dragged away and recycled, or it was eaten on the spot.
Fang Chang: It’s okay to eat it…
Ye Shi: Hiss... This new mother body feels like something.
Makabazi: Speaking of which brothers were kidnapped by those group of children?Haven't come down yet?
Big Pig's Trooster: It's me... By the way, I might have seen my mother's body!
When he heard this, the players squatting in the post were instantly excited.
Quit smoking: Damn!True or fake?
Elf King Fugui: Tell me what that thing looks like Ah brothers.(funny)
Big Pig's Trooster: I don't know how to describe it, it's a bit like Xiaoyu's previous appearance... it's a circle bigger than it, and then it's ugly.
Although he has never seen Xiaoyu in the game, there have been photos of Xiaoyu posted by other players on the forum.
Compared with those photos, Xiaoyu still has similarity with it, but the outlines of facial features and body are smoother and the color is pinker.
To make an inappropriate but vivid enough metaphor, the mother called Xiya is more like a shark with bloody mouths, the kind that can scare children to cry.
Xiaoyu is more like a dolphin. Although it also has a cruel side, it is closer to human aesthetics.
Commander of the Spring Water: Do you remember where you met that guy?
Big Pig's Trooster: I don't know this...but I feel that it should be somewhere underground, which is very similar to the subway station.
Edge paddling: Subway station...this goal is too broad.
Commander of Spring Water: But no matter what, it is certain that the mother nest and hatch room are hidden underground this time... Damn, no wonder they are things we have never seen before.
Fang Chang: Big pig's trotter, did that mother eat you all in the end?
Like hungry forces, he lowered his head: Yes, it swallowed my wife in one bite... Still, in front of me, whimper.
Hunger Force: Tsk, you guy, don’t say that strangely, okay!(anger)
Like hungry forces, I was wrong.
Big pig's trotter: …
Spring Water Commander: Then what?Have you found nothing else?Anything is OK.
Hunger Force: Well, I feel...it seems to be reacting to our voices.
Spring Commander: Voice?
Hunger Force: It seemed that it planned to start eating from my partner first, but as soon as I spoke, it swallowed me first... I always felt that it didn't understand what I was saying, after all, I couldn't talk to each other.
Like the hungry force, hesitated: Hiss... I remembered it as soon as you said this. I was the second one, and then I was eaten immediately after you.
Hunger Force: So this alien species is preyed on sound?
Commander of the Spring Water: Unlike, I think there is another possibility, which mistakes you for the human being who gives orders... like the leader of the wolf among the pack.
Hunger Force: Ah?I still have this ability?
Like hungry forces, bowing their heads: Damn?My partner has this ability?
Commander of Spring Water: Then I don’t know, but from its perspective, this is the case. After all, most mammals rely on the vocal cords to transmit information. Perhaps it is possible to understand sound as a biological pheromone in the cognition of the mother.
Big Pig's Trooster: Speaking of which, I also discovered an unusual place. I don't know if it's a clue... The guy who was suspected of being a mother seemed very surprised after eating the two holes.
Spring Commander: Surprise?
Big Pig's Trooster: That's right, it's just like eating the wrong thing... I watched it carefully for a while before spitting out their clothes and shoes.
Fang Chang: It’s interesting.
Quit smoking: Uh, what does it mean?
Fang Chang: ...Do you think there is a possibility that in the cognition of slime mold, other organisms are “mushrooms” with autonomous consciousness, and the clones we use just don’t have autonomous consciousness, so it is confusing where our autonomous consciousness comes from.
Commander of Spring Water: It seems we have thought of going together.
Fang Chang: However, if my inference is correct, the mother this time is probably different from all the mothers we encountered before. It does not simply eat the prey, but selects a part from it to assimilate them into ‘our own people’.
Just as everyone was talking, an announcement suddenly jumped out of the official website.
Inspur is coming again Expansion updated: new assimilation concept
According to the survey results of the Alliance Institute, West Asia will consciously capture organisms that invade territory, assimilate them into part of the ethnic group, retain their aggressiveness and partial self-awareness, and at the same time force to implant biological prosthesis to transform them.
Assimilators are currently known:
1 Bacteria Monster: It has the power similar to the monster. Its recovery and defense are strengthened by biological prosthetic bodies constructed by slime molds, and its individual combat power will be stronger than that of the monster.
2 Bacteria Death Claw: It has the speed and agility of the Death Claw, and on this basis it strengthens the recovery and damage resistance. No samples have been collected yet, so qualitative biological analysis cannot be performed. It can only be inferred based on combat images, and it has combat power comparable to evolutions.
3. Bacteria dying victim: A slime mold fruit entity suspected to have been secondary assimilated. No biological prototype was found in the ecological environment around Qingquan City. Its ability is supposed to actively detonate itself and release corrosive poisonous fog. Other fruit entities will throw it out as thrown objects.
……
Quit smoking: Damn!
Debt Big Eye: 6666!As soon as we talked about assimilation, the settings of assimilation were updated!
Ye Shi: Brother Guang’s plagiarism forum has been confirmed!(funny)
Fang Chang: But this server announcement always proves that our thinking is correct, and there are two pieces of information that can be extracted.First, West Asia has the characteristic of "assimilation fighter", which will transform some prey to use their combat experience, and is better at micro-operation than the mother body in the previous wave.Secondly, it is eyeing our uniqueness, and is consciously studying us and learning us...but due to limited knowledge, it may have some deviations in our understanding.
Spring Commander: These two clues are very critical!Since our opponents are no longer the group of stupid critics in the last wave, the form of the wave may have undergone fundamental changes, and it is very dangerous to formulate tactics with the original ideas.
Edge Stroke: You mean, they may not play by the routine?Bypassing the defense line we arranged in the northern suburbs?
Spring Water Commander: This is very likely. The experience of calculating the attack direction of slime bacteria through the spore cloud concentration is very likely to fail in this battle!
Commander of the Spring Water: I even feel that the waves have begun, but they are using our inertia of their perception to keep moving, deliberately following the schedule we expected. Two weeks later, they could just send a large amount of cannon fodder, rush towards our position like the last wave, and then send a small group of elite troops to the most empty flank of our garrison, and eat up our defense line in one bite!
Luoyu: I'm blanched?!Slime mold still has this kind of mind?
Construction site boy and brick: Uh, you won’t think too much, right...
Commander of Spring Water: I heard that slime molds can plan the shortest path to food based on the location of the food. The variant slime mold we face is obviously much smarter than the kind in reality. I have reason to believe that these guys will do this operation.
Fang Chang: Agree, anything can happen on the battlefield. My opinion is the same as you, underestimating the enemy will suffer a great loss.
Killing chickens at midnight: It's so troublesome. Do you two have any plans?
Fang Chang: After listening to those two new encounters, I had an idea.
Edge Stroke: What's your thought?
Fang Chang: As we all know, a guy who is a little clever but not smart enough is better to cheat than a fool who knows nothing.This time the mother body is smarter and harder to deal with than before, but we can take advantage of this in turn.
Edge paddling: How to use this?
Fang Chang: It’s very simple, the idea is the same as the intelligence wars during World War II. Since their understanding of us is “a group of organisms that rely on sound waves as pheromones to transmit information”, we only need to forge a “maternal nest for issuing orders” and show our “flaws” to it!
After being knocked out, the three little Cutes were dragged here by a group of slime-mold fruit bodies, and then they moved to a claustrophobic room.
This seems to be a part of Qingquan City’s underground transportation network, but it has been transformed by plaques beyond recognition and it is impossible to tell where it is.
The first player who woke up shook his head and pushed his hands to the ground. He felt his hands sticky and he was startled when he opened his eyes.

3. Bacteria dying victim: A slime mold fruit entity suspected to have been secondary assimilated. No biological prototype was found in the ecological environment around Qingquan City. Its ability is supposed to actively detonate itself and release corrosive poisonous fog. Other fruit entities will throw it out as thrown objects.
……
Quit smoking: Damn!
Debt Big Eye: 6666!As soon as we talked about assimilation, the settings of assimilation were updated!
Ye Shi: Brother Guang’s plagiarism forum has been confirmed!(funny)
Fang Chang: But this server announcement always proves that our thinking is correct, and there are two pieces of information that can be extracted.First, West Asia has the characteristic of "assimilation fighter", which will transform some prey to use their combat experience, and is better at micro-operation than the mother body in the previous wave.Secondly, it is eyeing our uniqueness, and is consciously studying us and learning us...but due to limited knowledge, it may have some deviations in our understanding.
Spring Commander: These two clues are very critical!Since our opponents are no longer the group of stupid critics in the last wave, the form of the wave may have undergone fundamental changes, and it is very dangerous to formulate tactics with the original ideas.
Edge Stroke: You mean, they may not play by the routine?Bypassing the defense line we arranged in the northern suburbs?
Spring Water Commander: This is very likely. The experience of calculating the attack direction of slime bacteria through the spore cloud concentration is very likely to fail in this battle!
Commander of the Spring Water: I even feel that the waves have begun, but they are using our inertia of their perception to keep moving, deliberately following the schedule we expected. Two weeks later, they could just send a large amount of cannon fodder, rush towards our position like the last wave, and then send a small group of elite troops to the most empty flank of our garrison, and eat up our defense line in one bite!
Luoyu: I'm blanched?!Slime mold still has this kind of mind?
Construction site boy and brick: Uh, you won’t think too much, right...
Commander of Spring Water: I heard that slime molds can plan the shortest path to food based on the location of the food. The variant slime mold we face is obviously much smarter than the kind in reality. I have reason to believe that these guys will do this operation.
Fang Chang: Agree, anything can happen on the battlefield. My opinion is the same as you, underestimating the enemy will suffer a great loss.
Killing chickens at midnight: It's so troublesome. Do you two have any plans?
Fang Chang: After listening to those two new encounters, I had an idea.
Edge Stroke: What's your thought?
Fang Chang: As we all know, a guy who is a little clever but not smart enough is better to cheat than a fool who knows nothing.This time the mother body is smarter and harder to deal with than before, but we can take advantage of this in turn.
Edge paddling: How to use this?
Fang Chang: It’s very simple, the idea is the same as the intelligence wars during World War II. Since their understanding of us is “a group of organisms that rely on sound waves as pheromones to transmit information”, we only need to forge a “maternal nest for issuing orders” and show our “flaws” to it!
