Chapter 1057: Parasite
"It's true that robots can also absorb metal, but robots use energy fusion instead of cell division. They are very similar, but definitely not the same thing. Moreover, this guy doesn't understand computer capabilities at all. It wiped out the soul in the original robot's fire and forced the inactive fire to be used as an energy source. To put it bluntly, this robot has become a puppet like those pale corpses outside." The Rubik's Cube stood up and said with a bad face.
"Then... the war was caused by these monsters that can fuse metal robots?" The old man was a little unbelievable. Everything was too confusing.
"It's possible. I call this fusion-type creature a metal parasite. Since it is a bug, it has a thinking center and a brain. Now I need to prove that destroying its brain can kill it."
After speaking, the Rubik's Cube took out a pistol and looked at the parasite robot, and finally aimed at the abdomen of the mechanical spider. The scan showed that there was an extra soul next to the fire. It was very weak, but there was indeed an extra soul. The Rubik's Cube was very annoyed and angry about the parasite killing the robot's soul and occupying the magpie's nest. This matter is not over.
Bang! The gunshot, the shell fell to the ground.
The bullet passed through the parasite's soul accurately. Unlike burning holes in metal, penetrating the parasite robot was more like penetrating thin iron sheets. Yes, the defense was not as strong as the original robot metal. After the bullet penetrated, the spider robot trembled weakly for a few times and fell to the ground motionless. The life signal disappeared, and there was no messy signal emission.
The people around were a little confused. They originally captured the robot and planned to find an opportunity to exchange it with others for some good things. But what happened? A hole was shot and it was killed!
"Huh? Why are you looking at me? It's better to kill it as soon as possible. If one day its accomplices fly over your head, won't they come down to kill you? There were no parasites flying over before, but it doesn't mean there will be no parasites in the future!"
Everyone woke up from a dream and cursed themselves for being confused.
"What should we do now? Throw this thing into the swamp and let it sink?" The old man said with some fear.
"No, although the quality of the metal is a bit poor, it can be used to grind some utensils such as knives and forks. You can toss it around. With such a big one, you can make a lot of blades. Although it is not as strong as the real robot metal, it is still a sharp tool." The Rubik's Cube said to the old man very generously. They are about to use stone tools. If they don't get some knives, they will become savages sooner or later.
Facts have proved that the Rubik's Cube thought too much. The metal is not bad, but these survivors who don't even have a rice spoon are simply unable to dismantle and grind. Except for forcibly breaking off the mechanical legs, there is no way to remove even a little bit of metal.
After the apocalypse, the fault lines of various industries have no tools and no technology. You can't make it just by having metal. Grinding and disassembling requires equipment. People in the desert outside can communicate with each other to obtain the required tools. This closed area has nothing but cheap dead bones. Reality is so cruel. Helplessly, the Rubik's Cube had to help them disassemble the mechanical spider and then simply grind it into a dagger or a long knife, which is at least an effective tool.
After staying for two days, the Rubik's Cube decided to go to the battlefield where the parasite was found to see if there would be other discoveries.
A guide is indispensable. It was the gunman who found the magic cube before. The gun was the only normal firearm in the camp. They found a good day and prepared to set off.
Before setting off, the magic cube stared at the man with strange eyes, which made him uncomfortable.
"Why are you always staring at me... Can you stop looking at me..."
The magic cube rolled his eyes. I don't know what god this guy believed in before the end of the world. In order to ward off evil and for safety, he actually painted all over his body with various patterns, making him look like a zebra.
"You'd better pray that your god can protect you, otherwise I advise you to pray for your gun and blade. In fact, it's okay. After all, with a fighting maniac like me, I believe there will be no trouble."
"I hope so... I don't like those naked pale corpses..."
Bringing the necessities, the magic cube and the man set off together. The man's name is Gangzi. I don't want to say what his real name is. It is said that he lived on Gangzi in the past, so he was called Gangzi. It's very interesting. The magic cube secretly wondered if he would call himself Baozi if he lived on a hill. I believe that many people who have eaten Baozi in the end of the world will like him very much.
The camp is two hours away from the battlefield, that is if there is no mud.
We set off early, two figures walking on the meadow, Mofang in front and Gangzi behind. The guide should have been in front, but Gangzi's calves trembled after seeing the body in the puddle. Mofang had no choice but to push the body aside with a wooden stick.
The fog was thick and the sun occasionally appeared. Whenever he saw the sun, Gangzi would stop, raise his head and close his eyes to bask in the sun. When he went shopping before the doomsday, he always avoided the sun for fear of getting tanned, but in this doomsday era, the sun seemed to have become a luxury...
We walked farther and farther until we could no longer see the camp. Gradually, we could find many metal mechanical fragments on the meadow, and more sank into the mud. Mofang also saw the tail of a fighter plane hugging the outside of the mud. The whole fighter plane was deeply sunken with only the tail outside. This was only the outer area. The battlefield might have been filled with mud...
Since the discovery of parasites, Mofang has paid more attention to the characteristics of the wreckage. For example, some wreckage was left by parasites and some by normal robots. Generally speaking, there are very few parasites, less than one in ten thousand or even less, but it is just that little bit of parasites that secretly instigated the civil war of mechanical civilization. It can be seen that although their number is small, their arrangement is clever.
"I used to like machinery very much and even thought that the progress of machinery was the progress of human civilization. Later, until the robots destroyed the whole world, I realized that the progress of machinery was also the countdown to the end of mankind." Gangzi, who was walking behind, sighed.
"Everything has two sides, such as guns. Good people can use them to maintain order and defend the law, while evil people can use them to destroy order and break the law. Humans have gone from barbarism to civilization and have exterminated many species and done many wrong things. There will always be a day when they can get back on track."
"I hope so... I hope I can live to see that day."
Gangzi was confused, and Mofang was also confused. The two confused creatures walked on the meadow looking for something that might be useful.
Gangzi picked up useful metal fragments while walking and took them back to make knives, while Mofang was looking for those parasites...
While walking, Mofang saw the wreckage of a fighter plane. What troubled Mofang was that this fighter plane was also a parasite! The sci-fi fighter plane is much larger than the mechanical spider. If even the fighter plane can be infected and devoured, then wouldn't there be parasites among the Transformers? Even Transformers can be infected, the consequences are very serious!
The fire position of the fighter plane was pierced by the energy bullet, which extinguished the fire and also extinguished the soul of the parasite. What surprised the Cube was that he originally thought that the parasites were all parasitic on the Decepticon robots, but in fact, they were basically all parasitic on the Autobot robots...
