Chapter 283: Gu Xiaole's bold conjecture

I saw that the abdomen of the big insect was not only covered with dense tentacles similar to suckers, but also something seemed to be moving back and forth in its stomach, and what was even more strange was that its mouthparts were actually composed of a dense pile of thin and long spikes.

"Mom, this big insect looks weird, right?" Ning Lei was so frightened by this terrifying creature that she took a step back.

Alida was also very strange, it was surprising that there were many huge insects and reptiles in the central area of this desert island, but the appearance of this insect in front of her surprised her even more, because she clearly saw that the dense needle-like mouthparts of the insect were actually connected to the brain stem of the pirate's brain......

"Does this worm feed on human cerebral fluid?" asked Alida immediately.

"I don't think it's just about sucking cerebrospinal fluid!" Gu Xiaole said as he lit the small wooden stick with the ZIPPO lighter in his hand, and then stretched out the wooden stick with a small flame to the pink flesh worm.

The bug remained motionless at first as if it was dead, but as the flames on the stick approached, the creature suddenly moved and quickly rolled over, and the countless sucker-like gastropods on its abdomen moved at the same time, running directly into the distance......

"It's not good! can't let it run!" Gu Xiaole's hand was quick, and he casually pulled out the tactical dagger inserted in his belt and flew out directly, and with a "swish", the dagger accurately nailed the fleshy insect to the grass......

But the guy seemed to be extremely tenacious, and despite being firmly pinned to his body, he continued to squirm and struggle, and seemed to emit bursts of low-frequency hissing insect chirps......

This insect chirp made Gu Xiaole, Ning Lei, and the three of them feel like they had a splitting headache when they heard it!

Gu Xiaole was almost unsteady on his feet, Alida could only barely stand by holding on to the mountain rocks next to him, and Ning Lei had already sat on the ground......

Fortunately, this insect chirp also seemed to consume a lot of the bug, and the guy roared for about 10 seconds, and finally gradually lowered the sound......

Gu Xiaole was waiting for this opportunity, he rushed forward with a brisk step, took the still burning wooden stick in his hand, and directly hit the head of the meat worm!

The insect was still struggling, but it stopped struggling immediately when it was roasted by the flames, and then it loosely turned into a pool of blood!

"What kind of bug is this, this is too terrifying, isn't it?" Ning Lei, who had just managed to get up from the grass, asked in disbelief as she looked at the blood.

Similarly, Alida also looked at Gu Xiaole with a confused face, it is said that she grew up in the subtropical jungle, and it is said that she has seen all kinds of real reptiles and flying insects, far more than Gu Xiaole's paper talk.

But the big pink and white meat insect in front of her didn't say that she had seen it, but she hadn't even heard of it.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaole also didn't know what kind of insect this was, but he looked at the two of them with a serious face and asked:

"Don't you think it's strange for this bug to appear?"

"Strange?" Ning Lei glanced at Alida opposite, and the other party's eyes were also confused.

"Okay, I'll explain it to you! First of all, this worm has been sticking a special mouthpiece into the brain stem of a pirate's corpse, and I really don't know any parasite that likes to suck human brain fluid like this, but that's not the point, the point is that when we first found it, it had been in a state similar to hibernation, but when I touched it with the fire on the stick, it immediately woke up and began to run away frantically!

Doesn't all this remind you of anything?"

After Gu Xiaole's words were finished, Alida was still in a fog, but Ning Lei on the side was bright-eyed:

"Shows that these insects are afraid of fire, right? And not only are they afraid of fire, but the corpses of the pirates we saw last night are also afraid of fire?

Do you mean ......?"

"That's right! I suspect now that it's this strange bug that emits low-frequency noises that has parasitized the brains of these pirate corpses and controlled their movements! That's why we see these so-called zombies roaming around!"

Gu Xiaole's speculation was indeed very bold, but Ning Lei and Alida analyzed it carefully, but they didn't find any flaws.

But a new question arises, what is it or who put this bug into the brain of a pirate's corpse?

Of course, Gu Xiaole can't answer this question at the moment, but at least it proves that there are no so-called zombies in this world, and these supernatural things can be explained.

The three of them figured out this section, and the burden in their hearts suddenly became much smaller, but now is not the time to relax, not to mention anything else, there are as many as four or five pirate corpses that were blown out by Gu Xiaole last night......

No matter how you think about it, they have to dispose of these corpses first!

Looking at the corpses with big holes in his head, Gu Xiaole carefully rummaged through them, and sure enough, he found this kind of big pink meat worm in every brain, so it can be proved that these bugs did not appear after the pirates were headshot, but had been parasitic in their brains before.

This time, Gu Xiaole was much more experienced, he first used a tactical dagger to nail the meat worms firmly, and without waiting for them to make low-frequency noise, he directly slammed them with flames, and with a "stinging" sound full of burnt taste, these four or five big meat worms all turned into pools of blood......

"Wow, what are you doing? It's disgusting!" Lin Jiao and her elder sister Lin Rui were just finished at this time, and when they came back, they happened to see Gu Xiaole killing these strange parasites.

"No, Brother Xiaole, I'm disgusting enough for you to check the pirates' brains, and you still have to burn them with fire...... You don't have any weird fetishes, do you?"

Lin Jiao felt that she was covered with goosebumps, and kept rubbing her arms with her hands and said.

Gu Xiaole naturally didn't have time to take care of this little girl, his attention was still on the corpses of these pirates, although those bugs were gone, but it was not good to have these corpses under the mountain in his camp!

Besides, if it stinks in a day or two, you have to worry about whether it will spread the plague......

So he put the ropes woven from vines around the feet of the pirate's corpse, and dragged them together one by one with Elida's help.

The two of them dug a deep pit and buried all the corpses in it......

But when Ning Lei saw this scene, she immediately stopped them and said, "No, what if those bugs reappear and turn these corpses into movable zombies?"
