Chapter 570 Research on Fungi
"They are not afraid of any virus used in the tests..."
"And most of the toxic substances that can be found at the moment, they always have a way to get rid of these things."
"They were growing very slowly at first because of the air problems here, but now they have almost no problems, they are growing much faster than before..."
"Currently only water with high salinity prevents them from growing. Fungal dust, their 'seeds', are inactive in high salinity water, but do not die, while other structures such as mycelium, It will die quickly in the process of soaking, but the death is not complete, some cells in the hyphae can survive, and after losing the influence of salt, they will grow again..."
"..."
The report in the institute has always been in a less optimistic state.
The general is in the command room, looking at the reports about these fungal organisms, the research institutes have said that they are the first time they have seen such 'crazy' organisms, their nutrient conversion efficiency is unprecedentedly high, and there is almost no transformation. Any 'excrement' is produced, and the growth rate is extremely terrifying, and it will not be affected by the virus.
At least the virus that the virtual people know has no effect...
That's fine, but they can go a step further and combine complex structures, such as stuffing skeletons with muscles, 'resurrecting' creatures that have been eaten by them, and then using this mobile individual to spread more bacteria dust.
Generally speaking, due to the heavy pollution, the physique of the current virtual people is very poor, and usually they will be out of breath after running for a long time. However, because these muscles are filled by the fungus itself, the speed of the resurrected fungal virtual people will be very fast. Fast, because the Voidlings are 'mysterious bone creatures', with a lot of hollows in their bones, perfect for filling muscles, they can even catch up with some vehicles, and they can jump between buildings.
But this kind of thing runs on the ground after all. So still able to stop, but recently...they even flew.
Some flying objects appeared in the cities near X City, and the general let the flame troops successfully capture one of these flying objects. According to the investigation, this flying object is... made with the arms of the virtual people.
That is, the bones of the two arms are connected together, and a soft and thin structure grows around it as a 'wing membrane'. At the same time, there are not only muscles in the bones, but also a large number of air sac-like structures. This allows it to fly.
This kind of thing looks like a creature called a 'moth' from a distance, but when viewed up close, it looks like two connected hands that keep flapping there.
Either way, it will arouse the fear of the virtual people.
This made the general think a little...these fungi are not without intelligence.
They're spreading purposefully and devising ways to deal with the Voidlings, creatures that make the general think of... pompoms.
However, it doesn't think it has anything to do with the pom poms, because the general has also participated in the war of the brain spirit, and it thinks that the creatures that can wage that kind of war... simply won't deal with them in this way.
Are these things just a bunch of mere invaders?
The general thought so, but the master told it not so...
But no matter what. Now they must be solved first. Although the troops defended the ground and prevented the creatures from escaping, those 'flyers' are too small, and they don't know how many, so it is impossible to keep an eye on them all.
But where did these pilots come from?
Although the general is not a scientist in this field, he also knows that these fungi must not be able to grow as fast as usual to create such complex structures.
They should have a special place where they are constantly 'producing' these things...just get rid of that production point.
This action has to be fast, because since the fungus can make a flying hand, it may also make other strange things...
Engaged in the present. At first, this incident was only a small-scale infection that did not attract much attention from the world, but now many countries have begun to pay attention to this incident, and they have also begun to take precautions, and the general decided to let them quickly support here.
"Report! There is an infection in City C! There are many flying creatures here!" "There is an infection in City Z!" "City S is also..."
When the general was thinking. Suddenly many reports sounded.
In these pictures, you can see groups of people screaming in horror running on the streets, many of them are covered with mycelium, and the surrounding people are screaming and trying to escape from those infected, while Those infected did not have any 'consciousness' at all, madly rushing towards the surrounding people as if they wanted to drag more of their same kind to death.
Several cities near City X. Similar situations occurred.
"Let the citizens act according to the order first, burn all the infected, collect their corpses and discharge them into the sea, shoot down... burn all the flying objects!" The general said immediately: "Don't let them get close to the ground!"
After giving the order on this side, it immediately turned to the other side and said: "The fighter planes in X City, observe the places where the flying creatures fly out, and find out where they come from!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the troops quickly executing the order, the general murmured, "I want these creatures to know that we are not so easy to deal with..."
...and just like that, some time passed.
What the generals did at first worked well, they did find some 'manufacturing' sites, the fungus was making those fungal phantoms and pilots in some hidden places and burning those places.
However, there is no way to solve the infection in other cities...
In the surrounding cities, especially the city called C City, which is the closest to X City... Its infection is spreading at an extremely fast speed, and the virtual people inside are also arranged to wait for the test and fly away as before.
But the general knows that it will be no different from X City if it goes on like this. At that time, this city will also become a kingdom of fungi and spread to the surrounding area...
So, the general thought of a new way...it was going to let those citizens retreat into the sea instead of retreating to other cities.
So, the construction of buildings in the sea began. Originally, there were many power stations in the sea. Now, as long as those places are renovated, people can live in them...
At the same time, it seems like a good idea to have a large number of troops quickly find any places that produce fungal creatures and burn them all. (To be continued.) 88 reading
