"What? Ironworm?"
Everyone's expressions changed with shock.
"No wonder even some evolvers are sick. I was thinking about what kind of harmful virus appeared, but I didn't expect it to be iron worms? Mr. Lu, Mr. Zeng, is there any way to treat it?"
Wang Ling was covered in cold sweat. He had also been in contact with those who were sick. He was even present when we were catching insects, helping the soldiers kill and catch them together.
If the iron worm can penetrate into people's skin by contact, then it is very likely that everyone in their base has been infected.
Lu Wenli sighed, "Once this kind of iron worm enters the body of an organism, it will begin to eat away at the flesh and blood of the organism. And as they eat more flesh and blood, their bodies will grow larger and larger until they occupy the body of the organism."
Lu Wenli was worried that someone would not understand, so he motioned to Zeng Yangping to bring a transparent glass jar with a living locust with a sickle inside.
This insect can no longer be regarded as a simple locust or a praying mantis. At this time, its abdomen is huge, and it is angrily hitting the wall left and right, making the sound of "didi di" wings waving.
It seemed to be looking for a way out, but it was surrounded by glass and there were no holes for ventilation.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Zeng, what is this box used for?"
"Everyone will know it just by looking at it."
The locust with a pair of mantis scythes gradually became like a pregnant woman in labor, and its abdomen gradually swelled, and finally it stopped moving against the glass at the bottom.
At this time, everyone saw attentively that its abdomen suddenly twisted on its own, causing the insect's entire body to turn over, and a point appeared on the small opening at the bottom of its abdomen.
A white silk thread twisted out from it like an earthworm, and gradually accumulated into circles in the glass box.
In the end, the insect's abdomen first suffocates, and then the entire body becomes dry. Even the pigment on the insect's body fades away, turning into a colorless insect body.
Everyone held their breath, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Zeng, this, is this an iron worm?"
"Is this worm's belly full of these worms? One whole worm?" Ma Dexiang swallowed hard and suddenly felt itchy all over his body and was very uncomfortable. Don't you have this kind of thing in yourself? He doesn't want to die.
"In other words, if a person is infected, it is very likely that he will be controlled by the insect to perform some stereotyped biological activities like this strange insect? But in fact, the body is already dead? Is he just controlled by this insect?"
"Everyone, keep reading."
Lu Wenli and Zeng Yangping looked at each other and then continued to say nothing.
But the serious and silent look of these two authorities made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.
The pool of white threads remained motionless in place for three minutes, then suddenly squirmed and twisted, looking like a violent earthworm, whipping the inner wall of the glass box.
Each stroke of the whip leaves a milky white mark.
Finally, the entire white line suddenly exploded, and white insect pulp splashed onto all the inner walls of the box.
"Is this, is he dead?" Wang Ling asked with some uncertainty.
"They all exploded. He must be dead, right?"
Zeng Yangping took a magnifying glass and handed it to Wang Hexing.
"Chief, please take a closer look at these white insect pulp."
Wang Hexing took the magnifying glass and looked at the wall of the box carefully. Within a few seconds, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"This, this" Wang Runhe took the magnifying glass from his hand, shined it on Hebi, and then took a breath of air.
The next few people took turns to pick up the magnifying glass and look at it, and finally everyone had a cold sweat on their backs.
"Is this box vacuum?" Wang Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed at the box without daring to get too close.
"Young Master Wang, not only is this box a vacuum, Mr. Zeng also injected a lot of carbon dioxide and gases that can weaken living things into it."
"What! You can still live for so long in an oxygen-free environment, and, and, you see. Those white insect pulps, how can they turn into small insects in just a short time, one by one, and there are so many?"
"Old Chen, please stop talking. I, I have goosebumps."
"Old Ma, Goose, Goose feels very uncomfortable all over now. Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, please check with Goose to see if Goose is also sick."
It was just a joke at first, but unexpectedly, Chen Jin's expression changed. He felt his abdomen was extremely itchy, and he held his stomach with an ugly expression.
"Goose said, Lao Chen, stop joking, it's not like him at all."
Ma Dexiang wanted to pat Chen Jin on the shoulder, but Chen Jin quickly dodged it.
He suddenly ran a few steps to the stairs, his face becoming increasingly ugly.
Lu Wenli and others wanted to step forward, but he immediately rejected them.
"Don't even get close to the goose, goose, something doesn't feel right."
Chen Jin, a strong man, suddenly squatted on the ground with a pale face and looked in pain, and his whole palms turned white.
Lu Wenli was the first to notice that something was wrong with Chen Jin, "Everyone, please don't go there. Make a way for everyone. Chen Jin, you go to the inpatient department alone first, and the rest..."
"Mr. Lu, please think of a solution quickly! Did Lao Chen fall into the trap too?"
Chen Jin endured the unconscious trembling muscles on his face and body, feeling that there were countless small bugs in his body eating away at his internal organs. Not painful, but itchy.
The itching was unbearable.
"Goose is an evolver, and his body is stronger than ordinary people, and he can withstand it." Chen Jin looked at Lu Wenli and Zeng Yangping, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Zeng, you two have to find a way as soon as possible. Goose doesn't want to be like that weird insect. .”
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he felt that there was a thought in his mind that was not his own, trying to control him to do something that was beyond his control.
Seeing Chen Jin running out at a faster pace, everyone's hearts tightened.
"Mr. Lu, is there really nothing we can do?"
Lu Wenli also became confused, "I'll think about it again, I'll think about it again."
Suddenly there were footsteps coming from downstairs. Everyone thought that Chen Jin was back. After all, everyone in the base was in danger now. In addition, Lu Wenli and Zeng Yangping had just found out that it was a highly contagious parasite that would be infected if touched, which was very difficult.
Except for the 40 people under Wang Ling who are also responsible for patrolling the courtyard, everyone else has been told to prepare enough food and return to their rooms to avoid going out. This also reduces the risk of infection.
"who?"
The footsteps stopped, and the person who came up stopped at the door of the conference room on the third floor.
"Lin Luqing, why are you here? Leave and go back to your house!"
Before Lin Luqing could speak, Nalanqi followed him and said, "Why are you standing there stunned? Speak quickly."
Nalan Qi and Lin Luqing stood in front of everyone. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Wang Hexing's body suddenly fell down.
"Grandpa!" Wang Ling shouted and was about to rush towards Wang Hexing when Nalanqi suddenly rushed over and grabbed him and pulled him aside. Lin Luqing also rushed over and pulled the others away.
Many vines stretched out from his body, controlling everyone and keeping them from getting close. (End of chapter)
