Sword and Magic and Taxi

? Zhao Mai has never forgotten the dream of leaving the earth to go to the stars. The creatures in the environment of other planets must contain a lot of surprises, which can give him more insights into this druid. Tian" Lai "Fiction Ww" W. 』⒉ And the earth is too crowded for a druid, under the envelope of eight detachers and their respective organizations, there is still time to look back at this big killer, which is not a suitable place for exhibition.

　　 But it is impossible for Zhao Mai to give up the earth. After all, there is the center of the origin world, as well as his own country and home. It is not impossible to maintain both existence and remoteness at the same time, as long as you build your home away from the surface of the earth. Zhao Mai is going to discuss with the old man, if the moon's orbit is still too close, then Mars, asteroids and even farther places can also be considered.

　　 But the basis of all this is to look at the recovery status of the ghost ship. Although the ghost spacecraft that Zhao Mai came into contact with was still a living thing, it actually had some defects, just like the difference between a normal person and a vegetative person. The ghosts cut off most of the brains of the spacecraft creatures, and many organs of the body were replaced with artificial equipment, and they mixed into their warships. Zhao Mai is also not sure whether the DNA in the spacecraft is complete after this transformation, let alone whether the Z Worm's restoration ability can support the entire project.

　　 It is precisely because of this that this experiment is more important and may directly affect his future plans. The mangroves of Wadsworth are an ideal experimental location, relatively isolated, whether it is swampy terrain or goblin patrols. Wadsworth has been implementing the "single-person natural environment" method for a long time, so there are no beasts nearby, and the initial safety of the Z Worm can be guaranteed.

　　 Looking at Wadsworth, Zhao Mai seemed to see another version of himself. Enlightenment was the first step in his growth as a druid, but it was Wadsworth who really led him on the path of development. Wadsworth is building a "single-player ecological environment", so why not Zhao Mai, even the Z bug is actually another form of clone. The only difference is that Zhao Mai is very careful to take care of his mind and soul, with layers of protection, and he does not dare to move at all. He learned lessons from the failures of others, and so far everything has been fine.

　　 But he always walks in front of others, from a follower to a leader, he has no experience to learn from anymore, only he can overcome obstacles, and it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no mistakes at that time. Zhao Mai patted his chest and clenched his fists, reminding himself again and again not to take it for granted, not to be arrogant, and to keep in mind criticism and self-criticism.

　　 "What do you think? Why hit yourself suddenly?" Xiao Hua's voice rang in Zhao Mai's ear, and it seemed that she finally decided to show up. Zhao Mai made a grimace at Xiaohua. He was happy because he figured out how to keep going forward: "Criticism and self-criticism, we take care of each other. I think no matter what difficulties we can overcome, this is the meaning of companionship."

　　 "Well, I think so too." Xiao Hua's eyebrows smiled, completely relieved, and she lay down on Zhao Mai's shoulder again, hanging on it without weight.

　　""Start the engine, lead Zhao Mai and others to the north, leaving the Z insect behind. It wriggled, climbed onto a fragment of a mangrove, changed its jagged mouth and bit down. Only a faint clicking sound was heard, and the wood was chewed into dregs like tofu. After swallowing, the food is divided into two parts: "body material" and "energy". The powerful digestion and absorption capacity makes the Z insect swell rapidly. Basically, the amount of weight it eats is almost the amount of weight converted.

It took an hour for 　　 to change from an earthworm-sized bug to the size of a rabbit. With the increase in size, the feeding rate of Z insects also accelerated, and it took another hour for him to become as big as an adult dog.

　　 Wood, grass, insects and soil, it eats everything, but it still feels unable to get all the nutrients it needs. So the Z worm began to split for the first time, from a big dog to a rabbit again, but divided into four. One of them began to drill underground and charged rocks and minerals; one was covered with chlorophyll and became a fast-growing sapling, emitting a tempting fragrance to attract birds and insects; one continued to clean the surrounding Plant fragments, kill everything that can be eaten. The last one grew out of six legs, the body was covered with a spiked carapace, the hook-like forefoot and sharp teeth looked terrifying. It quickly ran out of the swamp, searched for the surrounding situation, found and eliminated the enemy-and the prey.

　　 It will soon have a harvest. In addition to the mangrove giants in the swamp, there are still a lot of debris. The fragments of the pyramid aircraft have been lying in the swamp. Although many of them have sunk under the mud, these minerals, metals, and polymer organic materials are all processed, which is undoubtedly a treasure house for the Z insect.

　　 Except for the Z Worm that was drilling down, the other three slowly moved to the wreckage of the pyramid aircraft. The scout Zworm continued to explore the way, and the engineer Zworm began to sort out the wreckage. No matter what, he moved his brain to the green base Zworm for food.

　　Z insects do not directly change substances like Zhao Mai, but it can decompose and transport substances. Under the constant multiplication, the green Z worm quickly swelled to a height of five meters, bulging like a fat spire tent. It specializes in splitting other Z worms in the body, and at the same time creates bone marrow components based on the ghost spacecraft's DNA memory. Since Zhao Mai and Z Worm have learned all the cells and organs of the ghost spacecraft, and even improved it to a new form suitable for humans + Z Worm, this ghost spacecraft has adapted to the local environment from the initial cells. .

　　 The ghost ship itself has the ability to regenerate, but it can’t be completely regenerated with just one finger like a troll. If there is only a little bone marrow, it can't be reduced to a spacecraft, and only relying on the Z bug to continuously provide energy and organ materials. This work is much slower than the Z bug's self-division, almost moving forward inch by inch.

　　 But the power of Z worm lies in change and adaptation~www.NovelMTL.com~ Feeling that the progress is slow, Z worm used the method of "extending working hours, increasing work intensity and increasing the number of workers". Soon it established four other manufacturing workshops to manufacture the components of the ghost spacecraft in parallel. It constantly balances the degree of resource collection and consumption, or increases the degree of excavation, or increases the manufacturing workshop.

　　Life comes from the ocean and spreads out on the earth. The biggest source of material for Z insects is the land. Everything in the swamp was concentrated, and under the constant nibbling, the ground and water surface were all descending, and only the Z insect swelled. This is a construction site that is constantly sinking, and water from all directions gathers in the middle, and a lake is soon formed. With the help of buoyancy, the manufacturing workshop keeps moving from increasingly unstable high to low, until it reaches the newly dug bottom of the lake. A few days later, the manufacturing workshop was no longer visible here, only a swaying lake.

　　 The swamp was slowly drained, and the water content in the periphery began to drop. The mud was digested and absorbed by the Z worm and converted into more components needed by the Z worm and the ghost spacecraft. Unmeasured cells are constantly replicating, cloning, and proliferating, and mutations also occur.

　　Some mutations are good, but most of them are just errors in cell reproduction. But even if it was an error, it was picked out by the Z bug and stored it in a special place, waiting for Zhao Mai to turn around and slowly refer to it.

　　 In this way, the keel of the ghost ship began to take shape.
