I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1026 Link
"The geese are still circling the lake... they should be flying north."

"The beaver dams have been breached time and again, and this year's floods are more violent than ever before."

"The hibernating brown bear woke up early and roared at the moon."

"The ancient redwood trees are transmitting abnormal electrical signals, and the termites' pheromone channels have been vibrating for ten days and nights."

"Humpback whales received vibrations from the earth's mantle. In the whale song memory bank, similar waveforms corresponded to the volcanic eruption sequence during the last mass extinction period. They went crazy, singing loudly in the shallow sea, crashing onto the beach recklessly, and becoming stranded on the shore one after another."

……

"Raven, Raven, do you feel it?"

"Yes, I feel it. The magnetic field is changing. This is a precursor to disaster."

"What kind of disaster?"

"A flood, a flood that will submerge everything. The glaciers will melt and the sea level will rise... Forty days of heavy rain will wash everything away. Dark clouds are gathering. This is nature's adjustment. For us, it will be a catastrophe."

“We can fly into the sky.”

"No, we will have to land eventually. The flood will submerge everything. We will not be able to find a place to stay and will use up all our strength in the air."

"so what should I do now?"

"Driftwood, find a solid driftwood to use as a foothold."

"Okay, I'll go find it now."

"Wait, they seem to be coming to help too..."

……

"Beaver, go and gnaw down a hundred gopher trees and test their strength by hitting the trunks with your tail."

"Elephant, you go and bring all the wood. Only your tusks can lift it."

"Squirrel, you mark all the hollow trees that will be used for buoyancy."

"Spiders, you spin silk, entangle it together, and weave it into a flexible enough cable."

"Wild boar, go harvest the vines. Let the badger help you find the roots of the vines deep underground and turn the vines out intact."

“Buffalo, go to the pine forest and rub off some resin, let it stick to your hair, and bring it back.”

"Swan, we need your shed feathers."

"We're going to build a ship, a big ship."

……

"Vole, you go and chew out grooves in the wood, and then the brown bear will splice them together. The pelican will hold the pine resin in his mouth, and when the resin melts, it will pour into the gaps between the splices and stick them all together."

"Ape, you have deft hands enough, go and tie the knots in the ropes and bind the wood together."

"We need to store enough food, let the squirrels bring the seeds, and the bees wrap the seeds in beeswax and hide them."

"As for those carnivores... let them eat moss. There is active moss in that pit that can replace meat. The algae and microorganisms in the moss will satisfy their needs."

"Once the boat is built, we can escape the flood..."

……

"Aboard! Aboard!"

……

Listening to those noisy sounds, Li Luo finally realized that they were not made just now, but were "sounds from the past."

These messages echo through the network like electrical signals constantly echoing in neurons, becoming a kind of "memory" that always exists.

"Is this the common memory of those creatures?"

"Why are their memories linked together? Why can I sense it?" Li Luo was full of confusion. She didn't know why she suddenly touched this memory and was brought into this strange "linked state".

"Did I touch something?"

She thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of something.

“Is it the fungus dust?”

Li Luo was not stupid and quickly figured everything out.

The bacterial dust floating in the air seems to be the reason for the formation of this "bioinformation network".

Every living thing infected by the hyphae will be connected to this network, where thoughts and memories resonate and become messages that every living thing can understand.

Li Luo was also shocked by the messages he had just received.

"Those animals, got together, and built a boat?"

“A Noah’s Ark without Noah?”

They achieved communication between different species through the interconnected network of fungi, and worked together to build a "self-rescue ship" without the presence of humans. This ship also helped them escape from the flood.

If Li Luo had not personally come into contact with this memory, he would never have believed that this was a real thing.

"So, the painting on the gate wasn't fiction? Is there really a Noah's Ark without humans on it?"

"But who painted that picture?"

If the painting was real, why were there different human languages ​​downstairs?

Without humans, is there still the Tower of Babel?
Could it be that these animals came together to build a Tower of Babel?

Li Luo's mind was racing, thinking about all the possibilities.

"Noah's Ark brought all species together. After the flood, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. The animals realized that cooperation was the way to a better future, so the species merged and tried to build a Babel Tower leading to heaven, but God separated the languages ​​of these animals..."

The more Li Luo thought about it, the more strange it seemed. She felt that she shouldn't use a religious myth to understand all this. What happened in this world must be explained in a scientific and reasonable way.

The Animal Ark may really exist, but the cause of the flood was definitely not because of the illusory "God".

Li Luo thought about it and suddenly thought of a possible reason:

"Is it the abyss? The abyss brought about a flood that destroyed the world?"

In the memory of the fungal network, that "big pit" seemed to be mentioned.

The mosses provided as food to carnivores are obtained from the big pit. The mosses that can be eaten as meat are indeed very likely to come from the abyss.

"Wait... that moss."

Li Luo suddenly thought of the mosses and the animals behaving strangely that he saw after coming to this floor.

"This floor is the cabin of the Animal Ark?!"

"Shouldn't you be in the 'hotel'? Why are you suddenly in the cabin?"

Li Luo's thoughts were completely confused. She even doubted whether everything she saw was real. It was also possible that the fungal infection caused her to hallucinate. Her brain imagined an illusion of a group of creatures building an ark based on the painting she had just seen.

"No, we must quickly get out of this connection state and return our consciousness to our body."

Whether the memory she saw was true or false was not important now. Her top priority now was to free herself from the influence of the fungus.

But how easy would that be? The fungus might have already taken root in her body, and it would take a lot of effort to completely remove it, not to mention that she couldn't move at all.

Li Luo forced himself to calm down, thought carefully for a while, and finally found a breakthrough point:

"Since those animals were infected with fungi, why were they still able to move freely?"

This means there must be a way to return consciousness to the body while maintaining the connection!
