Chapter 1062: Spores
As soon as she heard that Chang Sheng was going to get Wu over, Qian Mixin immediately quit! She said in an unhappy tone: "There is no danger on your side, you want someone at this time, your brain is in water, right? If you want someone, you don't need to open your mouth when there is danger, and someone will send it to you, but now is not the time!"
Chang Sheng also felt that he was a little unreasonable, but the lingering fear in his heart really made him irrational. "I'm not talking to you, you can also consider it before answering. ”
"Think about a ghost!" Qian Mixin snorted angrily and said, "We have to protect the research team and the base, and we have to protect the base, and there is already a shortage of manpower, what are you still messing with?"
Chang Sheng replied weakly: "I know, don't just do it." ”
Li Han asked curiously: "You rarely do this, what's wrong this time?
Chang Sheng said helplessly: "I just don't know what to be afraid of! In short, I feel very bad this time, there is always a feeling that danger is everywhere, and I feel like a shadow, and my heart is always hairy." ”
Qian Mixin said with a smile: "It must be that you usually watch too many horror movies, so you will be suspicious here." ”
Chang Sheng admits that it is somewhat related, but when he encountered similar situations before, he was not afraid of being like this! So Chang Sheng felt that there must still be something that he didn't notice that affected his feelings and judgments, so it caused him to be afraid of being like this.
After the request to let no one come over was rejected, Chang Sheng, who couldn't sleep, still stared at the projected channel picture to pass the time when he couldn't sleep.
As Vivi speculated, shortly after entering three o'clock, the small pebbles on the wall suddenly began to emit green gases as if they were leaking, and these gases were countless tiny spores like smoke.
The walls were full of small pebble-like fungi spitting out spores, and soon the passages turned into green and faint, like a big green light in a horror movie, revealing an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Chang Sheng asked, "When is it safe to go out?"
Wei Wei was studying the spores released by the pebble on her side, and after a few minutes she replied: "The spores of this fungus grow very fast, mainly to prevent the danger of inhalation, it is estimated that it will not take two or three hours for them to be fine, but for the sake of safety, you better wait until eight or nine o'clock in the morning before going out." ”
"Understood. ”
Changsheng saw through the projected picture that these spores were actually growing again at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were still floating in the air like smoke at first, but within a few minutes they were reduced to countless floating particles as fine as dust.
Some of the small particles landed in the crevices without stone walls and grew there, but most of them were still floating in the air and growing in size.
Chang Sheng also found that the stone-like fungi on the wall are not at all different from ordinary fungi, ordinary fungi multiply and die, but they only close the small holes of the spitting spores, and then they are still alive exactly like the original, without change!
The three strangers of the research institute also discovered this, and they also discussed the reason, but they were too professional in their words, Chang Sheng only felt that he was in the clouds after listening for a long time, and he didn't understand a few words, and then he simply didn't listen to it, and observed it on his own.
The spores floating in the passage grew bigger and bigger, and later they became floating pebbles, the same as the floating pebbles that Changsheng encountered when he entered the secret passage before.
At first, Chang Sheng didn't feel anything, but after staring at the screen for a few minutes, Chang Sheng suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Chang Sheng immediately asked, "These fungi won't die after they multiply, right?"
Wei Wei said casually: "Didn't you see it, why do you ask knowingly?"
Chang Sheng said, "What about the floating in the air, and how long do they live?"
"From the samples I have in my hands, even if these fungi are floating in the air, they will not be a problem to live for a year and a half," Vivi said. ”
Chang Sheng asked again: "Then what is their reproductive cycle?"
Weiwei said: "I can't accurately estimate this, after all, the time to get the sample is too short, and I don't have time to conduct experiments." But my inaccurate estimate is that there is a large time range, probably between seven and fifteen days. ”
Quan Quan asked Chang Sheng curiously, "Why are you asking this?"
Chang Sheng blurted out: "Because it's so strange!"
The three strangers asked in unison, "What's wrong?"
Chang Sheng said in a deep voice: "If these fungi can live for more than half a year if they float in the air, then where are all the fungi that bred last time? I haven't seen a single corpse of them on the ground." ”
They were all startled, and both fell into a brief silence.
Qian Mixin asked: "Is it possible that these floating in the air do not have a long lifespan at all, die quickly, and then be decomposed again, is there such a possibility?"
Wei Wei said thoughtfully: "Of course it is possible for ordinary fungi, but the key is that these are not ordinary fungi, they have both animal and fungal characteristics, and their lifespan is really long." ”
"Anyway, I think there's definitely something wrong with this base. Chang Sheng said, "Maybe there are things that can destroy these fungi, but I don't know what form they will take." ”
"Don't overthink it. Wei Wei persuaded: "You better take advantage of this time to take a rest, so as not to sleep enough, and you will be sleepy during the investigation tomorrow, which will affect your efficiency." ”
"My heart is not big enough to sleep even when I am afraid. Chang Sheng said: "Don't worry about me, I won't affect my work." ”
While speaking, Chang Sheng subconsciously glanced back at Suoyang and Wenxin to prevent the two children from kicking the quilt while sleeping, and then turned his head to continue staring at the projection.
But after staring at it for half a minute, Chang Sheng suddenly felt as if something was wrong just now! He suddenly turned back to look at Suo Yang and Wen Xin, and was surprised to find that Wen Xin's mouth actually spit out green gas.
Chang Sheng was stunned at the time, but he quickly came back to his senses, and immediately recorded the picture in front of him with his mobile phone, and then sent it to Weiwei, ordering Weiwei to watch it immediately.
Wei Wei was even more surprised than Chang Sheng after reading it, and kept muttering that it was impossible, but she didn't check the specifics, and she couldn't say anything, only preliminarily felt that Wen Xin might have been infected by those fungi outside.
Suo Yang didn't spit green gas from his mouth, and Chang was afraid that he would be infected, so he immediately hugged him to his side, took out the gas mask prepared by the three strangers and buckled it on Suo Yang.
Suo Yang, who was confused after being woken up by the toss, looked at Chang Sheng curiously, although he didn't take off his gas mask after listening to Chang Sheng's words, he still wanted to figure out what was going on.
So, Chang Sheng pointed to Wen Xin's mouth with green gas and asked Suo Yang to see it himself.
