Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ember Worms in the Mutation Period
Before entering, after taking protective measures in the compartment, Xu Yi and Xiao Yuyan walked into the room together.
In the middle of the room lay three single beds, on which lay three young men, all of whom looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years of age. The faces of the three were calmly closed, and if others looked at them, they would think that they were just asleep.
"The three of them were awake for a while at first, and they didn't fall into a coma until everyone around them was parasitized, so the people in my team suspected that they were parasitized by the Ember Motherworm. ”
The person in charge of the house is on the same job as Xiao Yuyan, and the relationship is not good or bad, so he simply said the guesses of the team members, and casually threw the information to Xiao Yuyan for him to see.
"Captain Qi, this alone can't confirm that it is a female parasite. ”
The content of the information is just a little more detailed, naming that in addition to the people of the Sun clan, there are also members of the law enforcement team who were accidentally recruited.
"That's why I wanted to contact Captain Shaw. ”
Captain Qi asked the team members to bring a plate, and in the plate was a closed round cover, in which there was a hideous flying insect, which resembled a floater but was much smaller, and there were two pairs of hooked feet more than mosquitoes.
"No Ash, Subworm ......"
Xu Yi's pupils shrank and he said the name of the bug.
"That's right, it's the Ember Worm. ”
Captain Qi's wooden face suddenly smiled, and he glanced at Xiao Yuyan and said, "We have a top insect training master here, and we were going to lure the female worm out of one of them, but suddenly a group of such worms flew in, and the female worm was scared back. ”
"Fortunately, we were quick to catch the group of insects immediately, but unfortunately the other insects are dead, and this one is still alive. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuyan frowned disapprovingly, the female insect shock and killing was already a good decision, and Captain Qi's actions were obviously superfluous.
"Captain Qi, didn't the boss say that the main thing is to exterminate the embers? ”
"Heh, Captain Xiao, N City has a special geography and has many masters of insect training and insect raising. They were very curious about this kind of bug that they had never seen before, and it happened that a top insect trainer was coming to help, and of course I couldn't stop it. ”
Captain Qi of N City is a local himself, and he has heard about various methods of playing with insects since he was a child, and he takes it for granted that he trusts the local strange people, and he scoffs at the method of killing insects with needles in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Fooling around!" Xiao Yuyan was almost annoyed by Captain Qi's attitude of course.
Before he came, he was dissatisfied with the big clan of the Sun clan, but he didn't expect to learn that the law enforcement team of N City was also involved in the back at this time.
Coming and going, the already troublesome things become more complicated.
"That's too much, I'm not here to prevent future troubles. ”
Captain Qi looked indifferent, and said in a tone that he thought was reasonable: "Who knows if Ember will appear somewhere else, if we study them thoroughly, it won't be easy to catch them when we encounter them again." ”
"Hand to catch? There has been a clear indication above, see the insects and kill them directly, why do you still want to raise them?"
Xiao Yuyan stared coldly, feeling that the other party was really whimsical, if something went wrong, the other party would definitely be expelled from the law enforcement team for dereliction of duty.
"Aren't they all bugs, with so many masters in our N City, are you still afraid that you won't be able to play with this little bug?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuyan laughed angrily, he didn't want to argue with self-righteous people anymore, as long as he thought about this matter a little, he could know that it was not as simple as it seemed, and there might be human interference in the appearance of obvious embers.
One of the most questionable is the Sun family.
As a result, the captain still thinks about playing with insects, which is simply unreasonable! What is it that gives him confidence?
"Not true. Xu Yi suddenly spoke, causing the two to look at each other.
While Xiao Yuyan and Captain Qi were arguing, Xu Yi had been observing the sealed sub-worm, looking at it comprehensively through the transparent glass, not letting go of the slightest trace.
"It's not a subworm. ”
"Didn't you still say that they were? Why, now you deny it, and sure enough, the young man is just unreliable. ”
When he saw Xu Yi's young face, Captain Qi already looked at him unpleasantly, and when he heard the words, he coldly mocked Xu Yi's young age.
didn't care about his words, Xu Yi's brows hadn't stretched since just now.
With a heavy heart, Xu Yi thought to himself, sure enough, before flying here, his hunch was right, there was about to be a tough battle in N City.
"Or rather, not exactly the subworm, because this Ember worm is in the mutation phase. ”
"What?!" Xiao Yuyan stood up in shock, staring at Xu Yi with wide eyes and asked.
"Xu Yi, tell me what the hell is going on?!"
Looking at the anxious expression of the eldest brother, Xu Yi let out a sigh, and then, in a solemn tone, he told the two of them his discovery: "When the mother worm is killed, the daughter worm will enter the mutation period until a new female worm evolves to lead the insect colony. ”
"We all know this, you get to the point. Captain Qi also felt that things were in trouble, so he anxiously asked Xu Yi to explain it quickly.
"Captain Qi said before that you caught a lot of them, but those were all dead, right? ”
"Yes, the others either died or flew away, and it took a lot of effort for us to survive. ”
"Captain Qi, are those dead subworms the same as this one?"
Xu Yi very much hoped that the answer would be no, but—
"It's exactly the same, I've checked it carefully, it's all the same physical features. As a local, Captain Qi is naturally curious about the newly introduced bugs, and even the whole team members participated, making sure that they were not bad at all.
"Females are not afraid of offspring. ”
With a sinking in his heart, Xu Yi said slowly.
"The only ones who will be afraid are the subworms that are also in the mutation period and are about to become the mother worms. ”
Captain Qi still couldn't understand Xu Yi's words, but Xiao Yuyan, who had talked to Xu Yi about Ember, was startled, his face suddenly darkened, and he rushed to the tray to stare at the little insect.
"Exterminate the insects!"
Immediately, Xiao Yuyan turned his head and called at Captain Qi, asking him to quickly give an order to control the entry and exit of the entire Sun clan.
"Captain Xiao, I asked you to come just for reference, are you trying to seize power?"
was ordered by Xiao Yuyan in the same position, Captain Qi is not happy, he is also the captain, who can order whom?
"I ......"
Xiao Yuyan, who almost burst out of his foul mouth, closed his mouth in time, he was also about to be mad by this unclear Captain Qi, and took several deep breaths before he allowed himself to speak calmly.
"Xu Yi means ......," Xiao Yuyan pointed to the three Sun clansmen who were lying down.
"It's not the mother worm that parasitizes them. ”
"In other words, the current emberless group, except for the newborn subworms, the rest are mutation subworms!"
Since mutant subworms have a chance to evolve into females, it means that they also have the ability to lay eggs.
Even though they can only lay one egg at a time, how many subworms are there now?! The reproductive instinct of organisms, after the mother worm is killed, the subworms will collectively mutate and produce more subworms to prevent the extinction of the population.
"Quick, you go out and inform the other side, and let the insect training master and them quit that village tribe!"
"Go and call all the villages and bring in Chinese medicine to kill insects. ”
Hearing this, Captain Qi couldn't help but panic, he had received the information from City G, which specifically stated that if the mother worm was killed and the other subworms were not killed in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that time, he still felt that Captain Xiao in G City was making a fuss, but now, when he heard that most of the embers were mutant insects, he suddenly felt dizzy.
At this moment, N City may really be in chaos......
Xiao Yuyan glanced at Captain Qi, seeing him like this, he hadn't invited a Chinese medicine doctor to come over, no wonder the village here would fall so quickly.
"Brother, I'll go to save people first. ”
A roll of silver needles was carefully sterilized, and the number of people who were parasitic was too many, and the head needles in the suit were too few, so Xu Yi could only use other silver needles in Zhili to top it.
"Okay, thank you. ”
The prospective brother-in-law was busy saving people, and Xiao Yuyan was not idle, except for calling the sealed room to report to the top, asking for more people to be sent here to support.
Xu Yi first asked the three of them to move together, and then took out three silver needles and inserted them on the top of the heads of the three, and used the swinging needles to kill the mutant insects with his fingers in order.
“——!”
Three faint electric sounds exploded, causing Xu Yi's eyebrows to bulge, and he thought of the current sound that sounded when he killed the mother worm in the Bo'ai Hospital.
Before other Chinese medicine practitioners arrived, Xu Yi wore protective clothing and walked into the isolation rooms of the Sun clan one after another to treat those unconscious and parasitic patients.
"Hey, hey?"
In order to rush for time, Xu Yi used multiple silver needles at one time to save people at the same time. After treating dozens of people, Xu Yi's headset was completely ineffective, apparently destroyed by the sound of Ember Death's death.
I didn't care about replacing the headset, it would be broken anyway, after curing all the people in the Sun isolation house, Xu Yi got on the convoy to the village, and the other accompanying cars were nine Chinese medicine doctors who were urgently found.
"The peace of N City rests on you. ”
Captain Qi's deputy scolded Captain Qi in his heart to push himself out of the top cylinder, but no one in the position was high, so he could only endure his anger at the captain and entrust hope to Xu Yi.
Ten villages, Xu Yi and this group of TCM doctors are each responsible for one. Two members of the law enforcement team who followed Xu Yi moved the patients in each isolation room together so that Xu Yi could perform the multi-needle treatment.
At present, it seems that Chinese medicine is enough, but in fact, Xu Yi's nerves have been tense.
Xu Yi always felt that things might be more serious than he imagined, as if things were developing in an unknowable direction, and he chose to use more needles together, but he was also prompted by the uneasiness in his heart.
It was as if a voice was telling him: Hurry, hurry.
