"Shaped like an insect larvae, similar to a silkworm baby, about five centimeters long and ten millimeters in diameter, the body of the worm has been able to determine death without any signs of life. On the head of the worm, there is some kind of tiny fibrous body that resembles a fern. ”

Ouyang said, touching the small green bud on it with his hand.

Deochisis added: [Actually, it is some kind of fungus, the head, chest and abdomen have been completely occupied by this fungus, this kind of fungus can manipulate the body of the insect while absorbing the nutrients of the insect body. 】

"Cordyceps, Cordyceps?" Ouyang sliced it open with a tactical dagger, "Then how did these things get into people's brains, and how did they control people?"

[The relationship between the two is no longer as simple as the relationship between the insect body and the fungus, and the genes of the two species have been initially fused, so that the insect larvae have degenerated into parasitic nematodes. 】

"Parasitic nematodes?" Ouyang's mind immediately came up with the photos of roundworms he had seen before, and he couldn't help but shudder.

[Yes, it is parasitic in the intestinal tract of organisms, and it can directly split a part of the parasite that is full of active body to carry the eggs of the parasite, and the spores of the fungus will parasitize in the active egg carrier in the second stage, and spread with the active eggs. 】

Ouyang pressed his forehead and complained in a strange tone: "Did you start matryoshka dolls, parasitic one after another." So how do they contag, do you know how that works?"

Ouyang asked, then squatted down and carefully examined the zombies in front of him.

[In fact, before these zombies take out the parasites, their oral secretions contain a large number of active eggs, and the gnawing is not for eating, but to spread the eggs and spores and reproduce. When the parasite is removed, it loses its activity completely within 5 seconds. 】

"Because the main body is a fungus, the characteristics of the fungus that like cold and damp are also inherited by these zombies, so they sleep during the day and move at night. Ouyang nodded, then raised his eyebrows, looking at the parasite in his hand, a sense of absurdity suddenly rose.

"The setting is so rigorous...... So these zombies aren't actually because of the invasion of demonic energy? Isn't it, do you want to be so curious? It turns out to be a product of natural growth, even if it's 'Resident Evil', I don't dare to say that." ”

[It's not all natural products...... Deochis's tone was a little hesitant.

It grew half of its body from Ouyang's arm, stretched out its orange, red, blue and blue hand, picked up the parasite in Ouyang's hand, looked at it for a moment and said:

"I've always felt that there was something wrong with this thing, but I never realized that something was wrong. Deocisis said.

"Unreasonable?"

"Yes, I always feel that this creature should be irrational and not naturally formed. But its genetic sequence is so complete and natural, there is no trace of external influence. ”

"Harm. Ouyang let out a long sigh, "It would be nice if there was a biologist here, he could still give you a little idea, and he wouldn't be clueless like now." ”

"This era is too old, I have studied some historical knowledge of Your Excellency's world, and I have a general understanding of how complex the conditions are required to develop biology in Your World, and these conditions require a long period of accumulation......

Deochisis paused in the middle of his sentence.

"What's wrong?"

"After a long period of accumulation, Your Excellency, I finally know where the last bit of disobedience is!"

"Time?" Ouyang said suddenly, "If it is a genetic fusion between two species, except for the virus, nothing should be able to change so much in such a short period of time." ”

"That's right, this kind of evolution, which is almost like a genetic mutation, is definitely catalyzed by some kind of external force. ”

"With such a purposeful catalyst, it is absolutely impossible that there is no will behind it. So what is the will of the so-called "God of Evolution" for......" Ouyang absorbed the cordyceps and touched his chin and pondered.

"Not necessarily, the world will adjust to its own situation. Dai Ochisis explained to Ouyang, "Just like in the Pokémon planet, the relationship between the elven tide and the human race, if there is no elven tide, the development of the human race will definitely show a blowout. The so-called 'god of evolution' may be the will of the earth itself. ”

"Elf tides are the will of the Pokémon planet?!" Ouyang was startled, feeling as if he had eaten a big melon.

Isn't that the same thing that Arceus is involved?! He is the embodiment of the will of the Pokémon planet!

"Yes...... The antagonism of species on a planet will more or less have the effect of the will of the planet. ”

"Then ......" Ouyang paused and immediately stopped, "Now is not the time to discuss this, the topic will return to the current world first." If it is said that it is the effect of the will of the planet, then it should not be, this is ancient times, and human beings will not do anything angry and resentful, right?

"Maybe it's related to the demonic energy overflowing from Shouchun City. ”

"If you continue to guess like this, you can only take one step at a time. Ouyang straightened his expression and absorbed Dai Ou Qixi back into his body, "And it's been two days, and I don't know how Yan Lou is doing." ”

He directly used his extraordinary power to clean up all the zombies and parasites that were hiding.

....................................

After the ban on Yingdu City was lifted, the upper echelons of the entire Chu State fell into a strange atmosphere.

Every nobleman, large or small, began to prepare his weapons and train his soldiers in his fiefdoms.

They didn't know what was going on in that place at the top of Yingdu City, but they knew that if they didn't prepare in advance, they would probably be blown away by that huge whirlwind of dynasty change.

As for whether the prince will succeed to the throne in the end, or the royal family name will change, they don't know, and they don't care.

They just need to be able to be a force in it, and to be able to stand firm, with such a heavy enough price, and that's it.

But the other two nobles didn't think so.

The state of Chu is the state of Chu of the royal Xiong clan and the four families of Qu, Zhao and Jing, only, and only these four families can jointly govern their own territory, no one can sneak away, no one can steal food, and even stretch out their claws, which is the reason why the Chu country has been peaceful for a long time.

If anyone dares to break this rule, the state of Chu may face the situation of "three families divided into Chu".

"In the king's bedchamber, there is a roar and roar like a beast every night. ”

In a green building, Jingyang and Zhaoshe were drinking and discussing.

This Qinglou is Jingyang's family property, and after every foreign war, a large number of captured slaves, a large part of which will be brought here to digest and dispose of.

The stunning girls who are now drinking for the two of them are actually dumb girls, and they can't hear what the two patriarchs say, and it's impossible to say it.

They can only observe words and expressions through the simple body language of the two of them, and understand what they should and should not do.

They are either born or acquired, and after becoming mute women, they are trained to be waitresses at the wine table, exclusively for some people with special needs.

For example, the two great patriarchs who are plotting.

"Where did you get the news from?" Jing Yang raised his eyebrows, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the mute girl next to him.

"The palace people in the palace. Shosha added, "In addition to the strange roar of wild beasts, and every day something is burned in the dormitory, which seems to be a corpse. ”

"What?corpse?The corpse is burned in the king's bedroom?" Jing Yang put the wine glass in his hand aside and looked at Zhao She with a strange expression, "Bai Gongsheng and Danyang Gong are not so arrogant, do they dare to humiliate the king so much?"

"Why don't they dare. Zhao She touched the dumb girl who poured wine, and after seeing that the other party did not react, she withdrew her hand with lack of interest, and continued, "They dare not even want the son, what else do they dare not do." ”

"After all, Gongzi is only a son, and the King of Chu is the king!" Jing Yanggang brought the wine glass to his lips and put it down again.

The wine was good, but he wasn't in the mood to drink it anymore.

"Some time ago, Confucian Sheng went to the palace to confirm that the king was still alive and in excellent spirits, I really don't understand why the king connived at Xiong Sheng and Qu Xie. ”

Jing Yang didn't want to use honorific titles for these two people at all, but called them by their first names.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's house arrest. Perhaps, maybe dead. ”

"How can you say such a rebellious thing?!" Jingyang glanced left and right, glaring at Zhao She solemnly.

"Nervous, no one here can hear you. Zhao She waved his hand nonchalantly, "And aren't you a little curious? Even if you are under house arrest, it won't take much effort to go to the last morning, as for hiding it like this." ”

Jingyang nodded, looking at the dishes on the table without saying a word.

Zhao She was silent for a while, and then looked at Jingyang with burning eyes: "Let's go and break into the king's bedroom, right?"

"Huh?" Jingyang was stunned for a moment, "Are you crazy?"

"Let's go and break into the king's bedroom!" Zhao She said again, and then explained, "We just need to know whether the king is dead, and if he dies, we will immediately lead the army to support Xiong Gongzi in the upper middle and upper ranks, and succeed him as the king of Chu." ”

"Then what if you don't die?" Jingyang asked, "If you don't die, if you break into the dormitory, aren't you afraid of ten thousand arrows piercing your heart?"

"Then what do you say, we can't do nothing like this. Zhao She spread his hands and said helplessly, "Xiong Gongzi was entangled in Lou Yi and didn't know what he was doing, and there was no sound for a long time, so he couldn't count on taking the initiative to attack." ”

"Let's go, go find the public loss class!" Jingyang suddenly said without a beginning or an end.

"What are you looking for him?"

"If the king of Chu is not dead, we will say that the siege weapon is enough to break through the Jin state, and the military situation is urgent, so we can only meet the king of Chu face to face. ”

"Siege weapons?

Jing Zhao nodded: "Yes, and there are many." ”
