Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 291 A Deadly Hole Card
What Qi Lin didn't say clearly is that since this parasitic worm has the ability to kill people in reality in the virtual world, it is undoubtedly a very terrifying and special mutant creature.

If some dormant parasitic worms or unhatched eggs can be obtained, it will undoubtedly become Qi Lin's deadly hole card.

The parasitic worm is currently the only thing that Qi Lin knows that can directly "let someone die" in the game, and the method of operation is also very simple, as long as the opponent loses the ability to resist and commit suicide, then directly throw the parasitic worm into the game. The other person's face will do.

The rest, this milky white flesh worm, which is no more than the size of a finger, will take care of everything.

From the perspective of outsiders, the player who died in the game cabin seemed to have died of a sudden heart attack. If he hadn't seen what the other player had experienced in the game, no one would know the cause of his death.

This method sounds as creepy as a voodoo, and such a small worm is the "deadly voodoo".

But then again, this thing is very dangerous. Using this kind of parasitic worm to kill people is like playing with fire.

Parasitic worms are very fragile, but they are also very dangerous. Before that, Qi Lin had to think of a way to safely get the worms out of the parasite's body and bring them with him.

It takes a lot of thought to ensure that the little bug can live until Qi Lin needs it, and also to ensure that it will not be eaten back by the parasitic worms on his body when he is slack.

First of all, Qi Lin needs to know the living habits of parasitic worms—fortunately, after such a long battle with parasites, a considerable part of the information about parasitic worms in the intellectual brain database has been unlocked .

Qi Lin casually found an excuse to say that he needed to be alone for a while, but Ivan, who was a little upset at the moment, didn't care, and immediately signaled Qi Lin to move freely.

Qi Lin randomly found an unoccupied room that was very close to the entrance of the fortification tunnel, and then turned on the built-in projector of the brain, and a clear picture was projected onto the yellowed wall in the room.

This is a photo of a parasitic worm. This kind of worm looks very similar to silkworms in appearance, but the whole body is translucent, and the body surface is covered with a layer of mucus like egg white. But after the picture is enlarged, it is Another detail that is difficult to detect with the naked eye under normal conditions is revealed.

Under the mucus on the body surface of the parasitic worm, there are countless tiny hairs—according to the introduction in the data, these tiny "fluffs" will grow rapidly after the parasitic worms parasitize into the host, and use heat to Visual observations of those root-like filaments covering the entire nervous system of the host.

The longest of these filaments can grow to more than ten meters long. Parasitic worms not only rely on these tentacle-like filaments to control the dead parasites, but also rely on these filaments to absorb nutrients from the parasites.

Since the parasitic worm itself does not consume much energy, a specially treated, non-decomposed corpse can be parasitic for several years—and after a few years, the parasite used as the host will Hollowed out by parasitic worms.

If the parasitic worm fails to find a new host at this time, it will enter a dormant state.

Parasitic worms are not necessarily social creatures, but when a large number of parasitic worms gather together, they can simply communicate with each other through a special pheromone, thus forming a society similar to human beings structure.

Like when Qi Lin broke into Warehouse No. [-] before, the parasite in the radiation protection suit was similar to the duty of a "night watchman", while the other parasitic worms were all in a dormant environment.

The reason for dormancy is very simple-although there is no reason why there are a large number of corpses stored in the No. However, Qi Lin appeared in front of these parasitic worms, and the smell of fresh flesh and blood made them realize that this was a new "host" and a new "food"—so , the first batch of parasitic worms came to life, and these were the dozens of parasites Qi Lin saw at the beginning.

And later, the first batch of awakened parasitic worms discovered that there were more prey outside—the group of mutants, and awakened more of the same kind...

This is why Qi Lin and the others are facing more and more parasites. Parasitic worms need to change their hosts several times in their lifetime, and the corpses sealed in the No. [-] warehouse obviously cannot meet their needs.

While reading, Qi Lin flicked his fingers quickly on the screen of the smart brain, and the text information displayed on the projection screen was also scrolling rapidly.

As he stroked, Qi Lin's fingers suddenly stopped, staying on top of a line of densely packed text.

"I found it, the living habits of parasitic worms—"

The parasitic worm likes an environment with extremely high radiation concentration. If it is placed in an environment without radiation, the tentacles on the surface of the worm will gradually shrink and degenerate. After losing these tentacles, it is just an ordinary worm with a high IQ That's it, although the host can still be killed, but the host's corpse cannot be controlled and transformed into a parasite.

"No wonder these parasites didn't chase out of the tunnel..."

After these tentacles degenerate, the parasitic worm is useless—as for it can still kill the host, even if an earthworm is put into the human brain, it can also kill people, but without the tentacles that invade the nervous system, the parasitic worm destroys the human brain The only way left is purely physical means, which is obviously impossible to kill a player in the real world.

"So, these parasitic worms can't be taken out? Once taken out of this tunnel, will they become an ordinary worm?"

Qi Lin frowned and muttered to himself, while continuing to slide his finger down——

"This document is...? Could it be that these bugs—are not naturally mutated?"

A picture at the bottom of the relevant information on parasitic worms attracted Qi Lin's attention. It was a photocopy of a secret document in the former Soviet Union. Qi Lin didn't know most of the Russian words, but he understood the title. of two words.

"Nurture", and "Research Report".
