Infinite Doomsday Survival System

Chapter 358 Pustule
Tian Lan didn't understand the situation of the earthworms, but Chu Mosheng looked guilty after the trick was discovered, and didn't dare to look at Tian Lan at all.

Originally, Chu Mosheng thought Tian Lan didn't know about it, that's why he told Tian Lan like this.

According to Tian Lan's character of having to prove everything in person, after hearing this sentence, she will definitely try it out once.

In the end, he actually knew that his little thought was instantly seen through.

This made Chu Mosheng very embarrassed, but who is Chu Mosheng, he will not be defeated by this little embarrassment at all.

Rubbing his slightly aching head, Chu Mosheng stood up as if nothing happened, and followed Tian Lan to observe the situation underground, without any embarrassment at all.

Tian Lan didn't bother to say anything about this, and continued to observe the situation on the ground.

The earthquake just now was definitely not normal, but after the earthquake, only such a small earthworm was drilled out, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

But no matter how he observed the burrow, he didn't find anything abnormal, just like an earthworm cave that couldn't be more ordinary.

But at this moment, Mo Yang, who had been molesting Yin Yue, was suddenly taken aback and let out an exclamation.

"Hmm! So... that bug was there from the beginning?!"

Tian Lan's attention was attracted by Mo Yang's actions, and he looked in front of his line of sight, only to see a bug full of pustules.

After seeing this bug, Tian Lan was also shocked.

Was this bug here just now?

Tian Lan can be sure that there were absolutely no bugs there at first, and in his perception, the bug he found before has disappeared, and this bug is exactly the same as that bug.

Although Tian Lan's attention was attracted by the earthquake just now, part of his attention was still on the bug.

But now that worm suddenly disappeared, and outside the warehouse they were in, an identical worm suddenly appeared.

How did it escape Tianlan's perception and come here?

Chu Mosheng also looked at the insect that looked like an ant and a stick insect, with pustules all over its body.

After thinking for a while, Chu Mosheng said: "If this insect is really like a stick insect, then there should be nothing impossible."

Some stick insects have a special talent, that is, they can perfectly avoid the perception of all living creatures and move quietly.

When they are found again, they will again disguise themselves as a branch or stick.

Therefore, if this insect is really like a stick insect, it is not impossible for it to suddenly appear here now.

However, this bug looked like an ant, which made Chu Mosheng worried.

It is true that insects can also hybridize, but not all insects, the species that are hybridized, are beneficial existences.

For example, the marked killer bee is a highly aggressive bee produced by the hybridization of two different bees.

And this bug made Chu Mosheng feel worried.

If this worm combines all the talents of the two worms, and their personalities change drastically, then they will be in danger next time.

Chu Mosheng told Tian Lan about his thoughts.

After learning about this idea, Tian Lan immediately picked up Chu Mosheng and started walking outside.

In fact, Tian Lan didn't believe in Crow's Mouth, but what he had encountered so far made him believe it.

Now that Chu Mosheng has said that, what happened after that is self-evident.

Fortunately, the bug didn't mean to attack them, or it would only move when others didn't notice.

At least when Tian Lan was watching, the worm was completely like a sculpture, motionless, not even a heartbeat could be heard.

Bugs also have hearts, but the beating sound of their hearts cannot be heard by humans.

The heartbeat of the stick insect is the slowest and weakest among all insects, so it is normal for Tian Lan not to feel it.

However, as soon as Tianlan and the others left the warehouse, the ground shook again.

The ground where the earthworm drilled just now bulged again, and a huge tentacle protruded from the cave.

Now Tian Lan finally understood that the vibration just now was not caused by the earthworms. The earthworms were just forced out of the ground by this insect.

That's why the illusion just now was created, and what really caused all this is the current owner of the tentacle.

After the tentacles stretched out from the ground, they kept groping for everything around them, as if to confirm the situation outside.

After confirming that there was a lot of space outside and that there was no danger, the owner of the tentacle got out from the ground and showed his huge silhouette in front of Tianlan and the others.

The already large warehouse was instantly filled by the bug's body, and even this was not enough, the warehouse couldn't bear the bug's body, and began to collapse continuously.

In the end, the warehouse was completely razed to the ground, and a centipede-like bug appeared in Tianlan's sight.

This worm is the same as the worm just now, and it also has pustules on its body, and it is also a completely different existence.

It looks exactly like a centipede, but it is obviously different from a centipede.

Its legs are slender and sharper than centipedes, and the armor on its body is also darker and shiny. Its huge jaws are comparable to stag beetles.

The tentacles on the forehead are as thick and powerful as a beetle, constantly exploring and sweeping everything around.

Seeing this bug, Chu Mosheng not only frowned.

She doesn't like this kind of hybrid bug very much. It feels like two bugs have been forcibly pieced together. There is no natural beauty at all, and it looks very awkward.

But I have to admit that this bug is stronger than the original bug, and the weaknesses of the original bug will be made up for, and the common characteristics of these bugs will also be greatly magnified.

For this kind of insect, Chu Mosheng can only regard it as a brand new species, and must confirm the habit and predation habits of this insect from scratch.

Although this made Chu Mosheng very happy, it was also very boring.

Because this bug inherits all the characteristics of the original bug, it also retains some of the bug's characteristics.

Looking at the things that I have been tired of for a long time, watching it again now gave Chu Mosheng a new feeling, but it was still the same, just changed the appearance.

After the insect emerged, stick insect-like insects began to pour out from the holes left on the ground in large numbers.

It seems that they not only inherited the characteristics of stick insects, but also the sociality of ants.

That centipede-like insect should be their boss, and these insects that came out should be like worker ants.

And the reason why these bugs appear here is not accidental.

After they came out, they began to wreak havoc on the warehouse, not afraid of the sulfur inside, and even feed on sulfur.

You must know that all insects are basically afraid of sulfur, but now these insects are not only not afraid, they are actively approaching sulfur, and even devouring sulfur.

For the bugs, this action was undoubtedly suicide by taking poison. However, not only did these bugs show no signs of poisoning, the pustules on their bodies continued to get smaller.

It was as if the bugs knew that they were sick and came here to find an antidote.

Chu Mosheng told Tian Lan all his views and opinions.

Tianlan also made his own analysis on this.

The pustules on those bugs should not simply exist, it seems to be something produced by parasites.

But now they wantonly eat sulfur, just to kill the parasites in their bodies and achieve the purpose of self-help.

Insects have never been as simple as humans imagined. They clearly know that they are sick, and they also know how to take care of themselves.

What these worms are doing now is to save themselves, relying on sulfur to kill the parasites in their bodies.

However, these bugs do not seem to be completely immune to sulfur. Once consumed in excess, they will still be poisoned and die.

After several rounds of death experiments, the worms had fully mastered this dose and began to slowly eliminate the pustules on their bodies.

Even under Tian Lan's gaze, they didn't show any intention of stopping.

These bugs may indeed be very timid. When they are alone, they will not move. When there are more companions around them, they will no longer care about these things.

In any case, at least these bugs are not interested in them now, so let's leave as soon as possible before any accidents happen.

The sulfur here is estimated to be unusable, and these bugs have developed a certain immunity to sulfur.

Even if there is sulfur around, it will not cause harm to these bugs, and even sulfur will become the food of these bugs.

And the sulfur here may not help these bugs kill all the parasites in the pustule.

You can't stay here anymore, let's leave now.

And just when Tianlan and the others were about to leave, a bug suddenly appeared beside them.

This bug seemed to have existed here from the beginning, and no one noticed it.

It was only when he turned to leave that he discovered the bug.

The bugs didn't mean to attack them, but just quietly stayed beside them, watching them.

Seeing this situation, Tian Lan immediately frowned, and hastily pulled Chu Mosheng away from the bug.

And just as Tian Lan left with Chu Mosheng, the pustules on the worm's body burst instantly, and everyone who sprayed it was covered in pus.

At this moment, Chu Mosheng also understood what this bug was going to do.

Parasites can also, to some extent, control their hosts to help them spread.

And the worm that appeared beside them just now was the command of the parasite, in order to parasitize new parasites into their bodies.

But it's too late to think about this now, they have already been stained with pus, and it is estimated that the parasites have entered their bodies along with the pus.
