Chapter 469 Mutual Contamination
The elevator slowly rises.

Charles agreed to Yu Xia's request and took her to see where they were now.

The elevator is transparent, and Yu Xia can see the scenery outside the elevator during the ascent.

After passing a path surrounded by rocks, a huge space appeared in front of her.

That should be a material transportation hall, with various machines and transport belts working in an orderly manner. In addition to the elevator she was currently in, there were more than a dozen similar transparent elevators in her sight.

These elevators go up and down constantly, like transport tubes connecting to the ground.

Yu Xia and the others' elevator did not stop but continued to move upwards.

After passing a rocky area again, Yu Xia saw an even brighter, dazzling light in front of his eyes.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, and then put her hand down after adjusting to the light.

What came into view was an endless scarlet plain.

Yu Xia was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in front of him, then walked out of the elevator.

The little lion ran after her happily, but was kicked away by Baron who was following Yu Xia.

The little lion crashed into Charles' feet and was ruthlessly kicked away by Charles again.

It howled angrily a few times, but it couldn't do anything to them, so it could only go around them and try to get closer to Yu Xia again.

Darren followed them groggily.

Yu Xia stopped in front of the platform fence.

A transport ship rose in front of her, quickly ascending into the sky and disappearing among the clouds.

Yu Xia watched the spaceship leave and his gaze slowly returned to the present.

It was very busy outside. Various machines were working among the strangely shaped ores, and aircraft took off and landed in the sky from time to time.

Yu Xia saw the scarlet substance covering everything and realized that they were in the contaminated area.

But this contaminated area was very different from what she had usually seen.

The first is that the surroundings are too bright.

Yu Xia covered her forehead with her hands and looked up. Two suns, one large and one small, were hanging in the sky. The sunlight penetrated the light clouds and sprinkled on the scarlet land.

When she saw the two suns, she knew where she was.

This is the planet Saitan.

A certain memory in Yu Xia's mind began to become clear. During the ten years when she entered Huo Lin's dream, after living on Valen for a few years, she was taken to Setan by the people of the White Tower to live and study.

Thinking of this memory, Yu Xia felt that the scene in front of him did not seem so unfamiliar.

"Polya, what is this?"

In the empty classroom, the two guides stayed for a while as usual to discuss the spiritual power knowledge they had learned.

But today, Polya showed Yu Xia something else. The 3D projection screen in front of her showed a red wasteland.

Polya zoomed in and saw many strange creatures foraging and communicating with each other in the red substance that looked like a fungal blanket.

"This is the seventh contaminated area on Setan. It is a very old and stable contaminated area."

Polya waved his hand, and several more projection screens popped up, surrounding the two of them.

He tilted his head to look at the girl and said gently, "This is another area of ​​active pollution. Can you tell the difference?"

Yu Xia scanned the images of other polluted areas, and finally looked back at the image of polluted area No. 7. "The pollutants here are more harmonious in shape and not as scary. Oh, and they can communicate and probe each other, as if they have thoughts."

When pollutants from other polluted areas collide with each other, they either ignore each other or attack and devour each other.

Yu Xia pinched his chin and thought: "Could it be that they have evolved? Have they regained some of their own thinking?"

Polya smiled faintly and shook his head. "The formation of the polluted area is the result of mutual pollution. Pollution is like a rotten apple. Once it rots, it rots. There will be no special changes."

"Mutual contamination?" Yu Xia paused, not quite understanding: "If there is no special change, how did those containments come into being?"

Polya clicked on a screen projection to zoom in, which showed a rabbit that had just been contaminated.

He fast-forwarded the video, and the rabbit was only slightly transformed at the beginning, but in the end it turned into a ball of flesh that was unrecognizable from its original shape.

The scene changed, and the ball of flesh was placed into a container, purified into a small red glass ball, and became a qualified containment object.

Yu Xia stared at the screen. After the video was over, she turned to the beginning and watched it again. After watching it, she turned to the beginning again.

After looking back and forth five or six times, she finally understood. She turned to Polya in surprise and said, "Did the deeply alienated creature absorb too much of the alien energy?"

Polya touched Yu Xia's head with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Yes, those containments are essentially alien species. The genes of the native creatures of the Sero galaxy only serve as a kind of isolation, and will not pass on alien pollution, so that people can use them at will."

Yu Xia murmured, "So, once the infected sentinels exceed the critical point of contamination and alienation, they really can't be pulled back."

Polya said: "But we can do a lot before that."

Now that the Sentinels have vaccines and guides to help with purification, infected Sentinels have many chances to return to normal.

Yu Xia pointed at the No. 7 pollution area and asked, "Why do the organisms in this pollution area grow differently from those in other pollution areas? You said this pollution area is ancient and mild, does that mean the pollution is not that strong?"

Polya smiled and shook his head. "On the contrary, the energy in this contaminated area is very strong. People don't even dare to get close to the periphery. These are creatures inside the contaminated area. They are not completely contaminants. They have merged with alien genes."

Yu Xia was confused again, "But didn't you just say that polluted organisms won't undergo any special changes, and rotten apples will only continue to rot."

"That's right." Polya clicked on an image of an alien. The alien in the image had a human form, but its limbs and shape were rather strange, making people feel uncomfortable.

"They are imitating our form, but not very successfully. Or, they don't really like the human form, and just want to use it to scare us."

Yu Xia understood, "So these creatures are alien species?"

Polya: "They are not completely pure species. They first devour the genes of other organisms and then form the form they want. Their bodies contain some genes of the organisms they devoured, and they will be affected by the thinking of these genes."

Yu Xia reached out to touch the screen in front of her, and passed through the alien. She curled her fingers and said, "If this is the case, sooner or later the alien will devour all the creatures on the planet and occupy the resources."

"That's not the case." Polya said, "Alien creatures are different from us. They are mineral creatures. They can convert stones, soil, various minerals, and even rain, dew, and lightning into their own energy to survive. The energy provided by carbon-based creatures is far less than that. However, they can also acquire genes from other creatures to form the form they want, but they will not pass on the genes. They have their own way of inheritance."
