I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 23 Hidden changes

Captain Su kept retreating and soon came into Mo Ling's field of vision.

Through the bandage, Mo Ling discovered that the bones in Captain Su's body were full of cracks, and the wounds under the bandage went deep to the bones.

This is a wound caused by bone spurs growing out of the body!
  It turned out that the broken bones were his own bones, Mo Ling suddenly realized.

This must also be the function of some kind of relic. It seems to be very useful and costly.

Although the cracks and wounds on the bones were healing rapidly, Mo Ling could still see Captain Su gritting his teeth and enduring severe pain.

Two earthworm creatures followed closely and rushed into Mo Ling's field of vision.

Captain Su stood still and seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, but Mo Ling had already targeted two earthworm creatures.

When an earthworm was about to shrink and lunge, a huge cubic hole suddenly appeared under it, causing it to fall directly to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, countless blood holes continued to appear on its body, and the invisible attack instantly turned it into honeycomb.

Not only that, in order to prevent it from continuing to regenerate, these invisible attacks continued to gnaw at the body of the earthworm creature, and its already riddled body disappeared piece by piece.

In the end, the earthworm was dismembered in the air.

The other earthworm seemed to have no IQ and was still pestering Captain Su, preparing to attack. However, as its companion disappeared, it froze in place.

The thick body seemed to be leaking air, and it was constantly disintegrating from the inside. The spiral skin was constantly dented, and suddenly there was no support.

When a gap appeared on the surface of the skin, it was clear that the interior of the earthworm creature had been hollowed out by the invisible cube.

The smooth cuts continued to spread, swallowing up the remaining skin of the earthworm creature.

The two terrifying creatures that were wreaking havoc just now disappeared.

Captain Su looked at what happened in the blink of an eye, his eyes full of shock.

After regaining consciousness, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Li Luo and the cube behind her.

Li Luo met Captain Su's gaze and nodded.

……

Mo Ling leaned against the cube, eating the food that was sent in, while listening to the soldiers thanking Li Luo.

Recalling the fierce battle just now, Mo Ling found that his teleportation speed was getting faster and faster.

"It seems that I have become more proficient."

Using your teleportation ability is like learning to grab something with your hands.

If he was a newborn baby when he first came into this world, then Mo Ling is already a three-year-old child now.

He can already subconsciously teleport things in his field of vision to other places without special concentration, so this makes his teleportation speed very fast.

The pieces of meat from the earthworm creature just now had been thrown to the ground by Mo Ling.

"If we can do it faster than the naked eye, can we make living things disappear out of thin air?"

Mo Ling was eager to try.

After confirming that the beast tide was over, the soldiers also gathered around.

Some even approached Cube out of curiosity, but Li Luo stretched out his hand to block them.

A soldier scratched his head and apologized to Li Luo embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry for stopping you outside the high wall. I want to apologize to you."

After saying that, he ran to the side to clean up the battlefield.

After Captain Su stood guard for a while, he also walked towards Li Luo and solemnly extended his hand towards her.

"Thanks for the help."

Li Luo also stretched out his hand and shook it casually.

It seemed that at this moment, the soldiers at the outpost officially realized that Li Luo was not a weak investigator. Li Luo also took advantage of the situation and asked: "Why were these unusual movements of creatures not reported to the monitoring station?"

Captain Su was stunned for a moment: "Having said these things, the daily report we send to the monitoring station every day will clearly describe what happened at the outpost."

Hearing this, Mo Ling was also confused.

Webmaster Liang did not mention these things when he issued the task.

Captain Su looked at Li Luo's puzzled expression and realized something.

"The monitoring station doesn't know? No wonder, we have been requesting reinforcements recently, but the monitoring station only responds on a daily basis and has not sent reinforcements."

"That's why the soldiers are so angry."

Captain Su quickly called the liaison officer, asked him about the communication status during this period, and checked the daily reports sent out. Everything was normal.

He paced back and forth in confusion, then looked at Li Luo and asked, "Does the monitoring station know about the tree transformation? We have also reported this to the monitoring station."

Li Luo shook his head.

A tree? What kind of creature is that?
  Mo Ling originally thought that the outpost was hiding something, but he did not expect that there was an information gap between the two sites.
  Captain Su suddenly thought of something again and confirmed to Li Luo: "Your mission here is to investigate the abnormalities in Theseus cells, right?"

After receiving a positive answer, Captain Su made another suggestion:

"You can go to Huashu's tribe first and see what's going on there."

"The outpost has always wanted to investigate, but the beast tides are coming more and more frequently, and I have been busy lately."

"We will go back to check why the information did not reach the monitoring station, and we will rush there later."

Afterwards, Captain Su asked Li Luo to open the electronic screen and transmit Huashu's information to her.

……

The Theseus cell blockade area is surrounded by huge high walls.

All creatures in this area are composed of Theseus cells, ranging from trees that are thousands of years old to insects that can be seen everywhere, have been replaced.

Except for one creature——

Transform tree.

This is a jelly-like gel creature that can communicate easily with people, has certain intelligence, and has its own tribe in the closed area.

As soon as they began to understand human technology, they found humans at outposts to exchange fertilizers.

Later, there would even be dedicated deliverymen who would come all the way to the outpost with the relics found by their own tribes in exchange for fertilizer.

Upon discovering this, people at the outpost were happy to trade with the friendly creatures.

The reason why they were not infected by Theseus cells is because they all appeared out of thin air.

Appeared out of nowhere?

Seeing this, Li Luo looked at Captain Su.

Captain Su explained: "They do appear out of thin air and will not be replaced by Theseus cells. We have tested them and all the cells are composed of normal cells."

"We have also carefully inspected those Huishu who come to the outpost to trade, otherwise we would not trade with them."

What a strange creature, Mo Ling thought.

And why do they want to exchange fertilizer?

Looking further down, Mo Ling discovered the answer.

Because this group of creatures is just like their name, the only purpose of all individuals in the entire group is to become a tree.
