Chapter 100 Food Parasite
Seeing this, Fang Linyan wondered:
"Isn't this box used to seal the rust-eating bug? Why are you interested in the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures like humans?"
Goat said:
"Boss, when you were busy before, I also went to browse the open database of Light Wheel. I learned some information about it. I think this box should be purely for taking in some water."
"The purpose of chewing this arm is for the blood, to be precise, for the water in it."
Fang Linyan said in astonishment:
"This box is at best a mechanical puppet. What do you need water for?"
Goat said:
"Boss, don't forget that a car is also a mechanical product. Does it need water?"
The goat's question caught Fang Linyan immediately. Of course, he knew that the car needed water. Although the amount needed was far less than that of oil, it was essential, and it needed regular water replenishment.
Since cars need water, it seems logical that this five-faced monster tank also needs to be replenished with water.
At this time, in the holographic image, it is unknown who triggered what mechanism, and the box of the five-faced monster suddenly opened slowly...
The two watched closely several times, and finally confirmed that it was the guy who shot the gun. He fired a bullet and hit the tip of the nose of a face, and then the tip of the nose was dented by about half a centimeter. , and then the unboxing procedure is triggered.
Ahem, it seems that he just wanted to destroy this box, but he happened to trigger some mechanism.
According to Fang Linyan's observation of the box, there should be a total of three procedures for opening the box,
The first thing to do should be to press the tip of the nose.
The second step is to enter the password,
The third track should be to enter the frequency of the relevant resonance.
However, this box is probably too old, so the latter two verification procedures are broken, so it is opened directly.
After the thing was turned on, it was completely dark inside, as if the light was directly swallowed up when it shone in, and there was no response at all after several minutes!
At this time, a researcher couldn't help but walked forward curiously, looked inside tentatively, then turned around and said blankly:
"It seems... empty inside?"
However, when the researcher turned around, although he clearly knew that it was a holographic image, both Fang Linyan and the goat gasped at the same time.
Because right at the Adam's apple of his neck, there was an insect that looked like a cockroach!
And this insect was rusty all over its body, and there were obvious metal structures at its joints. The two long whiskers on its head seemed to be flicking back and forth vividly, but upon closer inspection it turned out to be two beams of light.
Suddenly, he let out a shrill scream. It seemed that the researcher had only sensed the pain in his neck now, and he stretched out his hand to pat his neck.
But after he slapped it down, he immediately saw a big bloody hole in his neck, and the rust bug got into his body in an instant!
The researcher was writhing in pain on the ground and no one cared about him,
Because...... a large number of rust-eating parasites have flown out of the box! !
There are three types of these bugs, one is like a cockroach, one is like a locust, and the other is like a mixture of a cicada and a mosquito, with sharp mouthparts.
Their surface has obvious metal texture, needless to say, the material is also metal.
Probably because it was sealed in it for too long, so after flying, there was a layer of gray atmosphere around it, like dust flying up from the tomb.
And from time to time, a fault-like electric spark would flash out from the surface of the body, and some rust-eating parasites flew halfway, and a puff of black smoke came out from the back of the buttocks, and directly stuck to the ground and twitched .
Cockroach-like insects are the most numerous, followed by locust-like insects, and the third is the least, with only a dozen or so.
These rust-eating parasites pounced on the researchers present, and then burrowed into their bodies, sucking blood greedily,
At this time, Fang Linyan and the goat observed carefully, and found that these terrible rust-eating parasites seemed to behave differently from eating zombies. The first thing they chased should be temperature.
Because in most cases, the place with the highest temperature on the mechanical lifeform should be its engine.
Secondly, it needs blood. To be precise, it should be the two components rich in blood, water and iron.
Or put it this way, soaking in warm liquid can bring them good memories, because the birthplace of these rust-eating parasites seems to be in the magma, and the warm, humid and soft environment inside the human body is not only a material thing for them. needs, and spiritual comfort.
Then Fang Linyan noticed one thing, the eating method of the rarest parasite with sharp mouthparts was completely different from the rest.
They can actually use their sharp mouthparts to directly penetrate the top of the victim's head. Under their sharp mouthparts, the hard skull is as vulnerable as tofu, and then they get in whole, enjoying the hot The warmth and moisture soaked into the comfort of a dry body.
After witnessing this scene, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that the mystery of the cause of death of the corpse had been solved so far. The heroic figure of the immortal swordsman who smashed his head with a sword was just an imagination.
The real killer is this kind of rare mosquito-like rust-eating parasite! They are small in size and extremely fast. They can even fly upside down and vertically like hummingbirds. Their mouthparts are also extremely sharp. For humans, they are as hard to guard against as deadly killers.
Soon, Fang Linyan noticed that these terrifying metal creatures were about to head towards the interior of the spaceship—to be precise, it should be the inside of Pumas.
But a light blue gas was ejected from the passage of Pumas immediately. According to the description of the machine projection spider, it should be the insecticide prepared by Pumas long ago. The formula of this stuff is from the database found inside.
Ahem, just like humans don't keep the formula of mosquito repellant secret, so it is not difficult for Pumas to obtain it.
After encountering targeted pesticides, these rust-eating parasites frantically fled outside as if they had encountered the end of the world.
The next thing is not difficult to infer, these horrible bugs got out, and they couldn't find the energy block, and they started to hunt and kill humans frantically. Metal bugs are still at a loss.
You can only escape to the ground, and then forcibly close the laboratory and elevator.
But what the Blood Umbrella Company didn't know was that apart from eating, these terrifying bugs also needed the energy in the energy block to supplement them.
In addition, they had been sealed by the box of the five-faced monster for an unknown number of years, and their vitality had been exhausted long ago, so they died one after another.
However, according to the information provided here, the rust-eating parasite has a strong variability and is very adaptable to the surrounding environment. According to the calculation after the mechanical projection spider is connected to the database,
A total of 6,441 rust-eating parasites were released,
With such a huge base, there is a 97.113% possibility of producing a special mutant, which can survive by devouring enough companions, and acquire the ability to adapt to the earth's environment for a long-term life, which can be obtained from human flesh and blood. energy.
According to this data, Fang Linyan couldn't help but think of the experience when he just entered Veronica's laboratory, they probably encountered a special mutant.
It successfully escaped from the underground laboratory and hibernated in the outer area above. The missing member of the Daklan Company has undoubtedly become its victim.
Why didn't it choose to escape from the entire laboratory directly? Fang Linyan felt that it might have escaped, but when it mutated, it evolved towards a humid, dark environment like the underground.
The harsh environment outside Veronica's laboratory was extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night, and it was extremely dry and windy.
This special mutant obviously doesn't have the energy to continue to mutate to adapt to the external environment, so it can only return to Veronica's laboratory.
At least there is still water in the ruins of Veronica's laboratory, and those mutated semi-metallic creatures can hunt.
At the same time, this rust-eating parasite is afraid of the pesticides produced by Pumas, so unless it is necessary, it will choose to hibernate on the upper floor of the entire laboratory, as far away as possible from the nightmare in the underground lake same place.
And according to the information displayed by the mechanical projection spider, these rust-eating parasites also have very impressive intelligence, at least reaching the level of ten years old or even higher than that of human beings.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan couldn't help thinking of one thing: If I were this mutated rust-eating parasite, what would I do?
***
Half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the goat came back to the entrance of the cave. They looked back and found that even though they knew the truth of the incident, it was still difficult to connect this big hole with the exhaust port of the alien technology spacecraft.
Just as Fang Linyan calculated, although the submersible they drove was still floating on the water, the interior had been directly blown up by Koi and the others, and it was still emitting green smoke.
One can imagine without the naked eye that the cockpit inside is already in such a mess that it looks like a double bed that has been used continuously for ten hours...
Fortunately, Fang Linyan had saved his hand in advance. They dragged out the hidden orange-shaped submersible from the reeds more than a hundred meters away on the opposite side, and then started the engine and left.
