Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 665
The dazzling laser light slowly crossed over the skull, and Qi Lin immediately picked off the separated Tianling Cap with the tip of his knife.

Sure enough, in the pile of gray-white brains that had become like rotten cotton wool, a fat worm was slowly wriggling inside.

"FU*K..."

Although they had known the result in advance, when the identity of the parasite was confirmed, thousands of alpacas were still galloping in their hearts.

Things like parasites are much more difficult to deal with than the common zombies in many doomsday novels... After all, viruses can also be dealt with with vaccines and antibodies, but parasitic worms are different. The way this creature occupies the body It was more brutal and more direct - a corpse that has not yet rotted can hatch thousands of larvae, and each of these larvae can control an independent parasite.

The body of a parasite can even be reused many times. If it cannot be completely destroyed, it will stand up again and again.

Rapid reproduction, short juvenile period, tenacious vitality, etc. These are the characteristics that should appear in lower creatures, but this is the most terrifying thing.

The "king class" among the parasitic worms has intelligence no less than that of humans, and above the king class, there are more advanced controllers.

And this most advanced controller should be the main brain.

The parasites were originally the "by-products" produced by the main brain when it collected old documents and conducted biochemical experiments, but the main brain did not discard this by-product as a failure, but transformed it into an army — an army of... self-sufficient and viral self-expanding.

Before humans have developed corresponding countermeasures, there is no way to defeat such an army except to fortify the walls and clear the field to prevent the parasitic worms from finding a suitable host.

But that is a strategy in the game, but in the real world, the mastermind controls more than a billion humans in the global shelters... The Kuroshio has never had the problem of lack of soldiers.

Even if we take a step back, the main brain can also mass-produce bodies that can be parasitic by parasitic worms through methods such as cloning. A parasite is enough to single out a first-level evolutionary, and in terms of cost, it is more expensive to cultivate an ordinary-level evolutionary. The resources spent by the parasites may not be as much as the monthly subsistence allowances received by a slum dweller.

"We should report this situation immediately!" Number Four said, turning on the electronic device he carried with him, but it didn't take long before a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"Electromagnetic interference, I suspect that the signal of the entire Vault 444 has been blocked...Since the parasites have appeared here, then this matter must have something to do with the main brain, and the intelligent brain of Vault 444 has not been blocked by the main brain. Locked, it's just cut off from the entire Vault Network."

"Then we have to arrange for someone to go back the same way." Qi Lin glanced at the other four people one by one.

No. 444 is the only hacker who is proficient in computers in the team, and he must stay. No. [-] is an architect. He is familiar with all the internal structures of No. [-] shelter, and he cannot leave, so the only suitable candidates are No. [-] Falcon and No. [-]. up.

"Let Number Two go back." Number Five said suddenly.

"No, I think you are the one who should go back and report the situation." Falcon narrowed his eyes.

"No no no, I don't want to climb that disgusting sewage pipe again."

Somewhat contrary to Qi Lin's expectation, the two turned out to give way to each other.

After knowing that there are parasites in Vault 444, it is undoubtedly a more dangerous choice to stay, and if you go back the same way, at least before a mission, you have to face this tricky monster.

"I've been on the Herons defense line longer than any of you, and I have the most experience with this kind of monster, so I should stay." Falcon picked up the protective suit that No. [-] took off just now from the ground, and threw it on the on him.

"Okay, okay... But, since you want me to run errands for you, remember to buy me a drink after you're done. Before that, you'd better not hang up."

"Don't worry, even if you hang up, we can't hang up."

Watching No. [-] get into the sewage pipe again, Qi Lin suddenly felt a strange feeling... A few hours ago, they were enemies of life and death to each other, but when they faced the parasite and the mastermind, they were indifferent. Unanimously stood on the same front.

Falcon seemed to see what Qi Lin was thinking, grinned, and said with a smile: "I don't want bugs to get into my head, and I don't want to be made into a human battery and soaked in a jar... But, I don't want to Let my daughter face these things in the future."

"Do you have a daughter?" Qi Lin glanced at him. Although Falcon is tall and burly, he looks like he is in his early twenties. Judging from the ordinary age of marriage and childbearing in the old days, a young man like him People, let alone children, many are not even married yet.

"Yeah, she's only been a year and a half this year, and she already knows how to call her daddy."

"Your daughter was born in a shelter?" Qi Lin asked. Children born in shelters like this are often called the "grey generation". In their childhood, they couldn't see the real meaning at all. The sun above, only hunger, cold and darkness filled the surrounding.

Speaking of this, Falcon's eyes were obviously dimmed, "When her mother gave birth to her, due to the poor delivery conditions, dystocia, coupled with heavy bleeding and wound infection, she died before the delivery was completed. I personally Opened her stomach with a dagger, and took out our daughter."

"Sorry, I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter." Falcon waved his hand, "This kind of thing was common in the old days, let alone in the refuge... I was very poor at that time, and in order to support my daughter, I joined the consortium alliance in the game Not long after I joined the army, I was sent to the front line of Hellens, and later, due to my outstanding performance, the organization took the initiative to contact me... I came here to make more money."

"If it's just for making money, why not give your life to some big consortia, maybe you don't have to face such a situation."

"I don't like to choose to work for a boss who may go bankrupt at any time. I know that many consortiums will be annexed in a short time after returning to the surface. War is inevitable. The choice is like a bet. Since it is a bet, then I'd rather bet on the side with a higher chance of winning... What's more, I've come to this point, and I can't go back if I want to." Falcon continued.

"If you can't go back, then go forward... This is already the worst situation I can foresee, but the good news is that we are all still alive. Since we are alive, we must do something."

Qi Lin stomped down hard, crushing the parasitic worm to pieces.
