In a room that doesn't know what to do—

Nicole was stunned about the fungal impression of "ophiocordyceps-unilateralis" - when she was studying in the United States, she had found a biological magazine about this word in the library, and she had little memory of the title of the magazine at that time......

After all, the goddess was still more interested in fashion and art design, but at that time, she grabbed the magazine by surprise, and after flipping through the catalog page, she also took a few special glances at the description of this term. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That description is still fresh in Nicole's memory......

The description is roughly as follows:

The "zombie ants" controlled by the fungus no longer have their own behavior and life, and the last stage of their life is also the most painful and terrifying.

In the last few hours of life, "zombie ants" will crawl underneath the leaves they are on, biting the central vein of the leaf with their jaws, trapping themselves on the leaf, and the parasitic fungus will also lock onto the leaf.

This leaf becomes an "ant's grave".

Nicole, who was disgusted with snakes, insects, rats and ants, just wanted to expand her knowledge a little, so she picked up the magazine and browsed it.

Although Nicole regretted opening the biology magazine at the time, because the content in it was heavy for her, the goddess sometimes suddenly became a heavy taste......

Nicole is such an intriguing and elusive goddess......

However, she can almost be said to have the ability to remember, but it also makes her basically memorize everything she has carefully read.

Because the goddess thinks that one day this information may be useful?!

At first, Nicole thought it was a term derived from the zombie culture of Lao Mei, but at that time, the magazine's pictures aroused her strong curiosity, which was a yearning to explore and understand nature.

It's just that for Nicole, the eldest daughter, even if she wants to have a "close contact" with nature, her father will never agree......

So Nicole has always been very yearning for this kind of adventure experience, but she is both rational and emotional, and she will be more rational in dealing with this matter, after all, if a girl organizes an adventure team by herself, it is really adventurous enough, the key is that she can't wear beautiful clothes yet......

Nicole was excited when she read the introduction to the "zombie ant", but she couldn't go into the details, because all four known populations of the fungus live in the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil.

With the level of academic tension that Nicole was facing at the time, she simply couldn't find time to go there, let alone do in-depth research......

So this matter gradually sank into Nicole's knowledge and memory, which is not easy to be discovered......

It wasn't until she heard the name of the fungus "ophiocordyceps-unilateralis" again that she suddenly realized that what seemed to her was nothing more than an interesting natural phenomenon, but that it might be possible for some individuals or organizations with ulterior motives to use it to do something unknown......

Thinking of this, Nicole suddenly connected with some terrible pictures, that is, those resurrected security guards in Thunder Manor, could it be that they have the same parasitic way as this "zombie ant"!?

If this fungus is refined, and then the gene breakthrough and reproduction, perhaps the effect is not as simple as controlling and corrupting ants, but ......

Nicole recalled the scene in Thunder Manor, which had been avoiding the resurrection of the security guards, those guys who looked like zombies, but could clearly feel that they were not zombies, made people feel palpitations when they thought about it.

This aroused Nicole's curiosity - so are these Russians making fungi, or are they looking for a way to deal with fungi!?

The seemingly simple two possibilities mean that the mission content of this trip to the air psychiatric prison will be more or less offset and changed.

If wheat kernels can directly affect the safety of the world, then this fungal virus can also indirectly affect the safety of the world!

When Nicole asked Townsend, the guy was still selling off, it turned out that he had already guessed that it was related to this fungus, just because he didn't have a chance to study it properly.

Therefore, Townsen, who has always had an academic spirit, will not blow a bull like him until he has come up with a definite answer academically.

Nicole suddenly realized, she didn't expect to meet two mentally ill patients by chance, and she could solve the problem that had puzzled her for a long time......

The old man was already a little devastated, and he felt that Nicole was very likely to believe what this man said......

"It's just that it can only parasitize ant fungi, and you take it out to scare people, it's so funny!" The old-faced man glanced at Nicole and sneered at the bald man, but his own expression was becoming more and more unnatural.

"Oh, no, no, no, the ant is not the only host of the zombie fungus, it infects flies, and some other insects also fall prey to it. For example, wasps can be infected by the fungus Cordyceps spp., which has not yet been officially named or documented. The bald man still has his hands behind his back, and he still looks like an academic professor......

In particular, the magnetic voice of the bald man sounded sonorous and powerful, as if a professor was lecturing.

Nicole saw that this guy was so confident, so she deliberately made it difficult for him to see if he really had that level.

"Then do you know how the "ophiocordyceps-unilateralis" spread? Fungi usually lock onto one type of host, and if this host becomes extinct, the end of the fungus is also coming. Nicole sneered, when she was in school, she was a veritable school bully......

Even if liberal arts are what she is best at, it does not affect her mastery of science......

The bald man's eyes were immediately attracted by Nicole's question, he didn't expect to meet a "bosom friend", after all, there are not many people who know these things!

He stared at Nicole with a happy smile on his face, this happiness ...... It is a kind of happiness that has not been asked by students for 10,000 years, and finally someone has asked questions......

"After infecting ants, four species of zombie fungi spread their spores in different ways." The bald man puffed up his chest and said.

The old-faced man stared at him, trying to block his words, but he couldn't interject......

Some form thin "infection nails" that protrude from the body of the infested ants and infect passing ants. Others grow "explosive" spores inside infected ants, which they shoot when other ants get close to the carcass, hitting unsuspecting passers-by and turning them into zombies. "When the bald man talks about this, he is simply confident.

He looked at Nicole triumphantly......

(ps: The dean is starting to throw dry goods again, as for the brain hole in the back, you can guess what will happen?) (To be continued.) )
