There was no explosion as expected, flames burned on the mycelia like molten fire, spreading slowly, with sounds like small bubbles bursting behind him.
Soon, Lin Yuan rushed upstairs, the sounds behind him could no longer be heard.
Where Lin Yuan could not see, flames licked the mycelia as thick as old tree roots. The areas close to the flames instantly carbonized. The creature's countermeasure seemed slow. It only began to secrete mucus after the flammable liquid inside these "roots" ignited.
However, this mucus was not for extinguishing the fire, but for sealing the holes burned by the flames.
Isolating oxygen was indeed a good method, but it was too slow. As the flames contacted more liquid, it spread rapidly like a river flowing into the sea.
If Lin Yuan were present, he would have noticed that these "roots" seemed to be glowing, and the liquid flowing inside had turned a color like molten lava.
Unfortunately, this was not a strange plant from a fantasy world, nor was the flowing liquid molten spiritual fluid like ordinary elixirs.
It was fire, the most useful thing humans had to drive away wild beasts.
Flames burned wildly within these slime mold composites, then spread to the source that had just been captured by the phone.
Suddenly, the entire underground garage was like a dim yellow candle, then this light source brightened. Flames and liquid, plus a certain pressure.
What would it become?
Of course, it was
"boo."
What the heck is this thing? It's a bit unnerving. The straight-line distance is at most 2.5 kilometers.
Let's observe for now. If anything goes wrong, we'll have to force our way out.
"Oh right, how is that injured person doing?" Lin Yuan suddenly remembered someone was still lying in the guardhouse.
"He's out of danger. We gave him two bowls of thick sugar water, so his energy replenishment should be sufficient. Moreover, this man has good physical fitness and should wake up tonight," Lin Qingyan replied, taking a bite of a compressed biscuit. They hadn't gone to get food before the captain returned, and they were obviously hungry now.
"That's good. Our efforts were not in vain." He praised their proper handling of the situation, then looked at Wu Mengyao, "Mengyao, how is your design drawing coming along?"
"It's almost done, but three more people arrived today, so I need to get their height and measurements before I can continue drawing." Although wearing a mask, Lin Yuan could tell from her expression that she wasn't unhappy, indicating she still enjoyed this work.
After lunch, Lin Yuan didn't have them collect supplies. The things that were supposed to go bad had already gone bad, and the things that weren't supposed to go bad could wait.
Besides, they needed rest, and listening to Wang Zhihai explain tactics was a good form of rest.
"Alright comrades, have you all finished eating?"
"Finished!"
"Then let's start our first lesson in tactical knowledge: tactical hand signals and their corresponding commands. In future battles, we will be operating in silence most of the time because zombies are highly sensitive to sound, so you must remember these tactical signals," Wang Zhihai emphasized the uniqueness and importance of the hand signals before beginning his explanation.
"The first signal, advance, raise your hand parallel to your ear and wave it forward several times..."
