Chapter 309 Characteristics of Greedy Sand

【"After spending two days, the agents of the Containment Association finally did not encounter other Greedy Worms in this desert, which means that the containment was successful."】

【The Containment Association does not know how many boxes they moved, and the number must be calculated in six figures. Such a large amount of sand can only be placed on an isolated island, and a little bit must be taken out for each experiment."】

【"Based on the characteristics of Greedy Worms, the Containment Association has formulated a very strict containment plan.

First, there must be no other living creatures on the island except Greedy Worms."】

【"Second, security personnel must be deployed around the island in all aspects to prevent anyone from approaching the island and Greedy Worms from running out. If such a large number of Greedy Worms run out, it will definitely be a devastating disaster."】

【"Third, the experiment must be applied for, and the sample taken out each time must be within 10 grams. ”]

【“Afterwards, the shelter conducted a series of experiments on the greedy sand worms. The results were unexpected. The greedy sand worms were not really sand eaters, but micron-sized parasites. This kind of worm cannot be seen with the naked eye and can only be observed with a microscope. It is a bit similar to mites. ”]

【“These parasites are about 750 microns long, have 8 legs and have a genetic structure similar to dust mites. The main difference is that this worm has the habit of piling sand on itself like a hermit crab. ”]

【“According to calculations, the number of this group of parasites is at least 100 billion! Coupled with the accumulation of so much sand, it is no wonder that the number is so terrifyingly huge. As for why they pile up fools on their bodies, we have not been able to study this problem yet. ”】

【“We initially thought that the Greedy Sandworms were a species that hunted together in groups, but when we actually let the Greedy Sandworms eat a mouse and then studied it through an observation instrument with a microscope, we found that in fact the Greedy Sandworms did not show cooperation when hunting, but more competition, constantly stepping over the bodies of their compatriots, scrambling to get close to the prey, fearing that if they were a second late, they would not be able to eat a bite. ”】

【“The Greedy Sandworms hunt like mosquitoes, and they determine the location of their prey through chemical detection of carbon dioxide and sugar in the air. These parasites will roll and bind each other in the direction of their prey, using only their feet to crawl over one of their own kind after another. 】

【"When they come into contact with animal flesh, they will release a paralyzing chemical toxin through their bites, which is very similar to the bite toxins produced by mosquitoes and fleas. When the victim is still unaware that these bugs are swarming around him, millions of parasites are "taking turns" to tear his flesh and blood."】

【"Imagine that in normal life, who can see mites biting themselves? This also explains why the unfortunate agent did not show much pain or panic at first when he was eaten by the greedy worm sand. That is because the greedy worm sand paralyzes the bitten part, and the mites are not noticeable when they eat people. By the time you find something wrong, it's already too late. "】

【"So the Greedy Sandworm is a very scary creature. If you don't know it, you will be eaten without knowing it if you just stand there."】

【"Speaking of the Greedy Sandworm, when competing, there will be some swarms. Among them, the more typical swarm is that these parasites form a dizzying vortex around the prey or the prey's limbs. "】

【"In the competition of the Greedy Sandworm, this swarm is efficient enough to strip the flesh of the creature's limbs, leaving only bones in a few minutes. These paralytic toxins are so effective that sleeping prey on its limbs will be eaten by the worms. Even after their bodies are completely eaten, they will not wake up. "】

【"We have tried various means of killing insects to eliminate the greedy worms. This is completely different from executing other containment objects. The greedy worms are essentially microorganisms and cannot be eliminated by conventional means."】

【"The containment committee has adopted high temperature, freezing, chemical and other means. In the end, it was found that chemical means could not eliminate the greedy worms at all. As for freezing, it barely worked. Only high-temperature burning can kill the greedy worms. In other words, this group of parasites cannot withstand high temperatures at all."】

【"It is no wonder that during the test, it was found that the greedy worms would immediately hide in the shadows after hunting, and at night They are active when they are on the ground because they are naturally afraid of high temperatures. "】

【"They are afraid of high temperatures, but they have to camouflage themselves in the desert to hunt. What a strange race. Fortunately, the island that contains the Greedy Sand is located at the equator and is exposed to the sun all the time. It is the best natural shelter. That is to say, as time goes by, the Greedy Sand may gradually decrease, but this is based on the premise that Greedy Sand is not found in other places. "】

【"The desert area on the earth is so large. If there are Greedy Sand in every desert, the scale and number are unimaginable. "】

When the screen said this, all the information about Greedy Sand was explained.

After reading it, everyone had their own thoughts.

Strange: "Sand is actually a disguise of microorganisms. It's really strange."

Dieter: "Even microorganisms have the ability to hurt people. What kind of universe is this creature born from?"

Ancient One: "I want to know this question too. I'm curious about how the humans in the original universe of the containment survived."

Odin: "Perhaps this pile of containment is not from the same universe."

Jiraiya: "If the Greedy Sand cannot withstand high temperatures, then it can be solved with fire. That's not that difficult."

Ace: "Then I'm not afraid."

Bruce Wayne: "No! It's not that simple. The point is that they are microorganisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye. How can you guarantee that you have eliminated them all? Without special instruments, you can't see the microorganisms and confirm them clearly! ”

Tony Stark: "You are right. If you let go of some microorganisms, the greedy sand may reproduce again and be involved again without your knowledge."

Tsunade: "Sand is just its disguise. If it eats people directly with itself, no one will notice it!"

Tsunade: "You are right. I am a medical student and I know microorganisms very well. If we are really attacked by microorganisms, we will not be able to detect it. By the time we find it, our bodies must have suffered unavoidable injuries!"

Luffy: "Is it so scary? But what are microorganisms?"

Chopper: "It is a kind of creature that humans cannot see. It is all around us. It needs a microscope when I prepare medicine to see it."
