Chapter 35 Information Erosion
Eat and drink
Bai Yuze returned to his bedroom, opened his E drive, and reluctantly deleted some unwanted games before handing his laptop to his mother.
But at this time,
The phone screen on the table lit up silently.
The message is brief.
"No."
Upon seeing this sentence,
Bai Yuze gently brushed aside the few tendrils that had just spread onto the laptop.
"Okasan, the computer might not be ready for you for a while."
"Oh~"
Yeyue pouted, clearly unhappy.
Bai Yuze had no choice.
He originally wanted to buy Ocasan a new laptop.
But the other party didn't want it.
She only wants what Bai Yuzhe has used.
Bai Yuze touched Okasan's hair and then rubbed his face against hers before opening "G.I. Joe".
It's not that,
He really enjoys playing games.
It's mainly due to interpersonal relationships; the senior student in Professor Mu's lab doesn't have many hobbies.
One is to conduct experiments.
Another point is about playing games. Unlike Lu Zihai, who is an aggressive player who wants to become Rambo, this senior brother is a mouse player who is perfect in theory, relies on feel for operation, and is particularly careful with his life.
Game loading,
The screen changes.
Before Bai Yuze's character was fully loaded, Ai Huasi's voice, tinged with fatigue and helplessness, could already be heard in the headphones:
"Hurry up, junior brother. We don't have much time to play games. I still have to prepare your exam papers for next month... Ugh, so annoying."
The exam paper for next month,
That would naturally have to be the AET exam paper.
Bai Yuze acted as if he hadn't heard him, saying, "Here I am, here I am, Senior Brother Aiwas."
After the game screen finished loading
A male medic wearing level 3 armor and carrying a fully equipped SMG-45 submachine gun appeared in front of him.
"Junior brother, let's have a scout position. Information is the most important thing on the battlefield."
"it is good."
Bai Yuze's main trait was obedience. Without hesitation, he chose the female scout and selected the 20 standard-issue voucher that would just fit him into the combat readiness pool. However, the insurance was filled with black eggs. There was no other intention; his main trait was to run away as soon as he saw someone.
If you can't run away, fight; try to win big with small resources.
If we say,
Lu Zihai is the kind of guy who gets all excited at the sound of gunfire, like a honey badger on a steroid.
They pulled him towards the most intense firefight zone.
The senior brother Aiwas, who was playing with him today, reacted to the gunshot like a sheep on the prairie hearing a wolf howl, walking in the opposite direction, hiding, and going around.
Regarding this game,
The eldest brother's unique understanding.
Even in games,
Human life is only given to us once.
On the war zone,
Blindly engaging in firefights is a highly inefficient and risky strategy.
Preserving oneself is the top priority.
Only by living,
Only by gathering supplies, completing missions, and ultimately evacuating can we achieve our goals.
Bai Yuze naturally supported his senior brother's theory.
After all, he's like a game character in the game Blue Star Online.
You only have one life, so playing it safe and developing your strength is the only way to survive.
The game has just started.
The senior brother then led him, skillfully avoiding all high-resource areas where conflicts might occur, and specifically choosing mouse routes that were located at the edges of the map, where buildings were scarce and trees were plentiful.
although,
The eldest brother doesn't like to hit people.
However, he knows the various ambush spots on the map.
But it was crystal clear.
After picking up a bag of trash on the outskirts...
The senior brother led him to a triangular area surrounded by abandoned shipping containers and collapsed walls. This area was close to the evacuation point and was relatively hidden.
The two of them lay down on the ground.
Under the cover of weeds and shadows, it transforms directly into a potato mine.
wait,
It is a long and tedious process.
This really tests one's patience.
at this point,
Bai Yuze considered himself inferior to his senior brother Aiwas; he would always take out his phone when he was waiting for someone.
Watch some videos.
But the senior brother Aiwass was extremely patient, remaining motionless, and even adjusting his breathing in the game microphone to be extremely calm, as if he wasn't playing a game, but treating it as reality, or perhaps, the other party was treating it as a kind of training for concentration.
After ten minutes,
The prey has arrived.
This team of players was clearly an aggressive playstyle, running loudly across the open area in front of them.
They were well-equipped and made a lot of noise, as if they had just been through a fierce battle. Looking in the direction they were heading, it seemed they were preparing to go to the museum to shut down the power.
During this time,
The squad was still very cautious, occasionally planting mines in those dark corners to clear out obstacles.
But in general,
They are not very vigilant yet.
Aiwas's in-game character watched them walk past silently, but didn't fire immediately. Instead, he whispered, "Junior, at four o'clock, a full squad of three is crossing the road. We'll wait for the last medic to show his back... Now's the time to fire!"
Almost the instant that Senior Brother Aiwass spoke,
Bai Yuze made his move.
Two pre-prepared fragmentation grenades were launched in a parabolic arc from their hiding place, landing precisely in the middle of the group.
Boom! Boom!
The flashes of light from the explosion illuminated the screen.
Bai Yuze blocked Bai Yuze's movement with two electric arrows, and the cheap assault rifle in his hand spat out flames. Although the gun was bad, the bullets were good.
Four or five sets of armor were as fragile as paper, and they were easily pierced, while his senior brother used an SMG-45 to sweep his legs.
The battle ended in a dozen seconds.
Bai Yuze could feel his heart beating slightly faster.
Tsk,
A few days ago, I fought against the Abyssal Beast and the False Man.
He didn't even have that feeling.
"Not bad, junior brother did a great job." Aiwas's voice was filled with satisfaction and joy. "Eat your snacks, let's prepare to retreat..."
then,
Next second,
The eldest brother's character was simply turned into a box.
"Forehead......"
Bai Yuze stared at the body box in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then looked at the upper right corner of the screen.
[Player 'Lazy Ox and Horse' has disconnected.]
Then,
A message popped up on his WeChat: "Junior brother, it's time. I have to go work on the exam papers. We can play again next time."
Clean and efficient
Without any hesitation or fuss.
Bai Yuze glanced at the time.
really,
It's ten o'clock.
He never saw his senior brother exceed this time limit when they played games together.
Indeed, only a man who plans his time down to the minute...
Only he deserves to be his senior brother!
The eldest brother has logged off.
Bai Yuze also lost interest in continuing to play.
He first picked up the gun left by his senior brother, and then slowly began to administer medication. Feeling that he had recovered enough, he casually searched through a few boxes nearby, then got up to go to the hotel to turn off the power and prepare to evacuate.
After exiting the game, the interface went dark.
The bedroom fell silent again, with only the faint sound of the wind passing through the city buildings outside the window.
Bai Yuze placed his laptop on the table next to him.
Ye Yue noticed that Bai Yuze had stopped playing on the computer.
She immediately slid off him, picked up her laptop, and crawled back to bed, her impatient manner befitting a girl deeply addicted to the internet.
The other party has been able to settle down in recent years
The laptop played a crucial role.
Bai Yuze withdrew his gaze and began to focus on himself. Apart from studying, eating, and dealing with social interactions, he spent most of his time studying his own body.
In the human world,
Humans have complete compulsory education, which enables them to clearly understand how bones are formed and how blood circulates.
However, as a monster born into the wrong abyss, there is no such thing as nine years of compulsory education for monsters here.
All the mysteries of this body can only be explored little by little by oneself.
Bai Yuze closed his eyes.
Adjust your breathing.
Sink your consciousness into your body.
The lingering thrill of the game seemed to still be there, but that slight excitement quickly subsided and returned to normal.
Consciousness continued to sink inward.
The first thing to be perceived,
It was a deep blue crystal core embedded in flesh and blood, pulsating steadily, followed by the subtle hum of surging blood flowing through the veins.
As blood flows throughout the body
You can quickly detect a viscous, cool substance permeating the intercellular spaces.
miasma.
It seemed to have its own pulse, slow and heavy, forming an eerie harmony with the heartbeat.
Bai Yuzhe had tried to explore it countless times, but most of the time it was like walking in a thick fog, only able to sense its existence but unable to grasp its essence.
But tonight...
He was about to try a different perspective.
In the past, when Yeyue swallowed him, he only saw viscous flesh and tentacles. But a few days ago, when he saw Yeyue crushing the Abyss Mantis, he suddenly had some different insights.
So this afternoon,
Bai Yuzhe stopped paying attention to the sticky flesh and tentacles and instead focused his attention on Okasan's flesh structure, trying to sense how the flow of miasma in the other's body differed from his own.
It turns out that
Within Ye Yue's flesh and blood,
His perception did not weaken or disappear; on the contrary, it became clearer. He could see, or rather, sense the way the miasma flowed within Ye Yue's inhuman body, carrying a twisted and powerful eerie beauty.
This intricate structure is clearly incomparable to the straightforward flow of his body. If the former is like the paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso, then he is like a child who has just learned to hold a paintbrush.
Although he couldn't draw it on his own,
But he can imitate.
He didn't know if it was because he had been by Ye Yue's side for too long, but he always felt that the miasma in the other's body resonated with him in an inexplicable way.
It gave him the illusion that he was living inside his own body.
Bai Yuze snapped out of his daze.
Stop thinking about all these fancy things.
He calmed down,
He began to recall the structure he had sensed within Yeyue's flesh and blood.
And subconsciously began to simulate it.
That is, in the instant he calmed his mind,
A tiny, weak tentacle slowly emerged from the depths of his consciousness, cautiously touching the abyssal miasma within his body.
hum...
A slight resonance vibrated within the body.
Bai Yuze's heart stirred slightly.
He began to try to control the newly grown tentacle as it groped its way into his body.
After a while,
A strange message suddenly appeared in his mind.
He seemed to see the inside of his own body, the layered structure of cells, the snow-white bone spurs hidden in the flesh, the blood surging in the veins...
He even sensed a slight rejection signal from long-term consumption of human food and saw the active state of newly formed granulation tissue at the wound site.
Information erosion.
The word jumped into his mind without warning.
It was as if it had always been carved there.
Bai Yuzhe suppressed the throbbing and excitement in his heart and began to let the tiny tendril continue to seep out.
in the past,
His method of manipulating the abyssal miasma within his body was extremely simple and brutal: either condensing it into a ball and unleashing it all at once, or attaching it to his claws to enhance its corrosive effect. But now, with his enhanced perception, he felt as if his control over the miasma had become more refined.
He opened his eyes,
A pale purple tentacle slowly seeped from the tip of his right finger.
Condensed but not dispersed,
He guided the tentacle closer to the floor.
I waited for a long time.
There was no reaction from the floor.
If it's miasma...
The floorboards have now been corroded into a hole.
Bai Yuze suppressed his doubts and carefully sensed the tentacle. He then discovered that the tentacle was not without harm, but its effect on the erosion and weathering of the floor was negligible.
hiss,
This newly developed ability seems rather weak; it's quite different from Ye Yue's ability to directly devour or purify!
Just as he was preparing to continue his research in other areas,
The curtains moved slightly.
A faint night breeze slipped in through the window crack.
A withered, yellow leaf.
It fell from some tree, carried by the wind into the room, swirling and gently landing on his knees.
Bai Yuze's gaze fell on the fallen leaf.
A thought crossed my mind.
The pale purple tentacle began to touch the fallen leaf.
After a while
The information from the fallen leaves flooded into his consciousness from a perspective he could understand:
The fibrous structure becomes shriveled and fragile after losing moisture; the yellowish pigment remains after the complete decomposition of chlorophyll; the edges are slightly damaged due to natural aging; and it contains a trace of energy that is almost negligible.
energy?
Bai Yuzhe immediately had a new idea. He combined the pale purple tentacle with a trace of extremely small amount of grayish-black miasma to form a softer, mixed tentacle, which slowly enveloped the fallen leaf.
It's not a brutal corrosion,
Rather, it is an immersion.
Under his gaze, the fallen leaf began to wither and turn yellow at an accelerated rate, as if it had undergone oxidation and decay at several times the speed of nature in an instant. The veins of the leaf turned as black as ink, and the leaf itself took on a grayish hue slightly stained by the aura of the abyss.
A few seconds later,
The leaf shattered silently in front of him, turning into a small clump of grayish-black powder, its original plant structure completely disappearing, as if it had been fundamentally rewritten by some force.
Bai Yuzhe stared blankly at the pinch of powder.
Just a moment ago,
It's not just corrosion,
It was more like using miasma as ink and perception as a pen to briefly write on that withered yellow leaf, accelerating its decay but leaving behind the marks of its erosion.
He raised his hand,
He clenched the ash-like powder into his palm.
Then blow gently.
This pinch of powder then dissipated into the dust.
.....
What if the object is not a fallen leaf containing only a small amount of energy?
If you read more deeply yourself
What if the dyeing process were even more refined?
In an instant,
All sorts of bizarre ideas and possibilities quietly surfaced in my mind.
