Chapter 180 Bio-Colonization Suit
……

Wu Wen came to the leader's body.

Although this man is dead, the tentacles on his body are still alive and wriggling.

Wu Wen reached out his hand cautiously to explore, but when his fingers were about to touch the tentacles, he felt something hard at his fingertips.

"hardening!"

It was only then that Wu Wen discovered that the transparent liquid secreted from this man's body had actually begun to harden, forming a layer of armor to protect his body.

Wu Wen bent down and observed quietly.

The transparent liquid hardened layer of protection on the corpse gradually turned yellow, dark, and black over time. In just a few minutes, it really became a layer of black armor.

While Wu Wen was studying and observing, Cheng Tiehuan had come behind him and was looking down at the corpse.

Seeing a layer of black shell gradually appearing on the corpse, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression on his face.

"My lord, what is this?" Cheng Tiehuan asked in surprise.

Wu Wen did not answer because he did not know what it was for the time being, but he had several guesses in his mind.

This should be like an insect pupating. The mucus that comes out of its mouth will harden when it comes into contact with the air.

It is also possible that when an insect breaks out of its cocoon, its originally soft body gradually hardens as it emerges from the pupa, and the surface shell of its body goes through a similar process of softening.

But no matter what the guess is, you still need to verify it yourself to know what the real answer is.

Wu Wen drew out the dagger behind him, and first swung his wrist to blow off all the clothes on the corpse.

Then he held the sword in his backhand and stabbed it into the black shell on the corpse, feeling its hardness, which was no less than that of an ordinary piece of iron.

But in front of the steel sword in Wu Wen's hand, the black shell could not prevent it from cutting.

Soon, Wu Wen opened the black shell.

Then, he discovered that the tentacles that were originally all over the corpse had now disappeared.

"Where have you gone?"

Wu Wen turned the body over and immediately found their traces again.

I saw a round ball curled up at the lower back of the corpse, near the buttocks. It was the tentacles.

Wu Wen raised his sword, picked up the ball with the blade of the sword, and observed it carefully.

The shape of these tentacles at this moment is like tree roots, crowded together with thousands of threads.

The reason why it is motionless is not that it is dead, but that it has entered a state similar to hibernation.

"My Lord, what is this?"

Looking at the strange round ball on the sword, Cheng Tiehuan leaned over and asked curiously.

Wu Wen shook his head slightly. If he didn't understand some things clearly, he would not jump to conclusions.

"Go, find a box and put this thing in it."

Upon hearing Wu Wen's instructions, Cheng Tiehuan immediately asked someone to get the box.

After a while, someone came with a wooden box.

Wu Wen put the ball into the box and closed it tightly.

Then, he asked people to collect the body and not deal with it for the time being, waiting for his instructions.

Return to the government office.

Wu Wen was not in a hurry to study the things in the box, but took a rest first.

It is already late at night, it won’t be too late to study it slowly until tomorrow morning.

In the room, he lay on the bed and rested.

The next morning.

When Wu Wen woke up, he held the box in his hand and went to the cell where the Gaochang people who were captured last night were held.

Hypnotic questioning was conducted on these people one by one.

But unfortunately, these people's identities are obviously not high, and even if they know something, Wu Wen already knew it a long time ago.

The situation of their leader was also very mysterious in their minds, so they knew nothing about anything, let alone the tentacle ball in the box.

Of course, Wu Wen didn't ask nothing.

He knew the purpose of these people coming to Yanmen Pass.

First of all, their goal was to find the woman Jimi who had escaped and the child in her belly.

They first went to Dingxiang City to investigate, and after several twists and turns, they actually found information that Wu Wen sent the woman to Yanmen Pass.

Then they came to Yanmen Pass, and after another search, they finally found the child born to Jimmy.

Now that the child has been found, their next plan is to avenge the Gaochang people who were killed by Wu Wen.

Therefore, they used poisonous insects to cause chaos in order to lure Wu Wen out of the palace in Dingxiang City.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect that Wu Wen today was not someone they could deal with at all.

Now that all the information has been revealed, there is no need to keep these people.

When Wu Wen left the cell, he gave a casual order and these people were immediately dragged out and beheaded in public in order to quell the rumors about evil spirits causing chaos in Yanmen Pass.

Back in the room, Wu Wen opened the box and took out the tentacle ball inside.

Looking at them motionless, Wu Wen stretched out a finger, and a flash of electricity burst out from the fingertip.

The moment they touched, the tentacles inside the ball were stimulated and moved slightly, but then immediately remained still.

Wu Wen observed for a while.

Then they were roasted over the small flame of an oil lamp.

Feeling the heat of the flame, the ball began to wriggle again in stimulation.

They spread the temperature of the flames and avoid the same place being burned all the time by constantly shrinking and changing their tentacles in the area being burned by the flames.

After observing for a while.

Wu Wen soaked them in water again.

Just when the ball is put into the basin of water.

It is different from the previous electric shock and fire.

The tentacles that were originally curled up into a ball began to slowly stretch out, and then spread throughout the water like taking root.

Looking at its changes, Wu Wen was thoughtful.

Then carry the wooden basin to the windowsill and let the sunlight shine on the ball.

Then, the tentacles above the sphere began to slowly unfold, connecting and crossing each other, forming an umbrella-like shape that was placed above the wooden barrel.

The top is the umbrella-shaped spire, the bottom is the extended root system, and the middle is the supporting column.

The whole thing looked like a tree. Wu Wen stared at it for a long time, and then suddenly ordered the guards outside the door: "Come here, send me a live chicken."

Upon hearing the order, the guards immediately found a live chicken and sent it into the room.

Click~click~click~
Looking at the rooster that was holding its wings in his hand and struggling and screaming.

Wu Wen reached out and broke its neck, then dropped the blood flowing from its neck into the wooden basin.

The clear water in the wooden basin was stained with chicken blood.

However, the tentacles in the water did not change at all.

"Eat vegetarian food!"

Seeing this situation, Wu Wen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This is the end.

He already had a rough idea of this thing in his mind.

This thing, in terms of characteristics, is somewhat similar to coral polyps.

Coral polyps absorb calcium and carbon dioxide from seawater during their growth, and then secrete limestone to form an outer shell for their own survival, which is coral.

Coral reefs are the accumulation of secretions from these coral polyps, forming their own supporting structure.

but.

It is also significantly different from coral polyps.

From the performance point of view.

It seems to have both animal and plant characteristics, and is able to obtain what it needs for survival through light and water.

In addition, this thing is extremely active and can be controlled artificially.

It's just that the method of controlling it is extremely mysterious.

It is very likely that it is similar to the technology used by the Gaochang people to cultivate insect-like humans.

Only people who have undergone specific mutations can connect with it and manipulate it.

and so.

This thing is like a biological suit.

It can attach to the surface of the human body and form a kind of biological armor.

It can not only absorb and resist external damage, but also enhance the wearer's speed and strength.

"What a pity!"

Looking at the good things in front of him, Wu Wen couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he found that he couldn't use them.

Take it out of the tub.

Soon, the tentacles that stretched out were retracted again and then gathered into a ball again.

Wu Wen put it in a box and kept it properly.

Then he stood up and left the government office.

He wanted to see the child that Jimmy had given birth to.

Since the child was born, Wu Wen had only seen her once, when Jimmy died.

This time, he planned to take this opportunity to see how she was doing.

At the same time, observe her special eyes.

"Master Hou!"

In front of the government office, Wu Wen happened to meet Cheng Tiehuan.

Seeing him go out alone, she greeted him and asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Is there anything..."

Wu Wen waved his hand and left without paying any attention to her.

Seeing this, Cheng Tiehuan became even more curious, but because he was in awe of him, he did not dare to follow him secretly, so he went back to the government office to ask someone.

Wu Wen went to the residence that Cheng Chumo had arranged for the girl.

Just as he was about to get closer, he met a little girl with a bandage on her eyes, who was playing alone with ants on the ground in an open space at the corner.

Wu Wen stopped and turned to look at the little girl who was only two or three years old.

Judging from the way she plays, the little girl is not blind.

Although her eyes were covered with gauze, she could still see the outside world through the gauze, but it affected her vision after all.

Therefore, the gauze covering her face was actually to cover her eyes.

Therefore, he could conclude that the little girl was the one born to Jimmy.

Just as Wu Wen was about to approach, the little girl noticed his approach, immediately showed fear, and then hurriedly ran away.

Wu Wen looked in the direction she was running, which was exactly the house he was going to.

He followed and walked over.

When the little girl approached her home, she met a group of children who were slightly older than her.

When the children saw the girl, they immediately surrounded her and sang a nursery rhyme mockingly: "Little blind girl, you have no parents..."

The little girl seemed to encounter this situation often. She squatted down in fear and did not stand up again and enter the house until the children left.

When Wu Wen saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.

He walked forward and entered the house.

As soon as I entered, I saw the old woman who was originally assigned to take care of the girl, lying leisurely in the corner of the yard.

When she saw the girl running in, she ignored her and didn't even raise her head.

Wu Wen walked forward. When the old woman saw him, she was about to scold him, but she found that Wu Wen's face looked somewhat familiar.

After recalling it, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"

Wu Wen stared at her coldly and asked, "Is this how you take care of the people I entrusted to you?"

Hearing this, the old woman suddenly became nervous and her body trembled slightly.

"Master Hou, I...I..."

She stammered and was unable to speak.

At this moment, the little girl ran to the old woman and asked with concern: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Then he yelled at Wu Wen, "Don't bully my grandma!"
