Chapter 454: Biomimicry at its Worst

"You low-level zombie understands? Give a little finger, and you can go into the city to find a job! Good luck for dog days! No more sleeping in the open, preying on humans everywhere, worrying about what to eat next!"

Probably not immediately hearing Ling Mo's answer, the guard zombie stretched out his bloodstained hand, shook it a few times in front of Ling Mo's eyes, and muttered at the same time:

"That's why I hate this job! There are too many low-level zombies who can't even understand human speech, and we have to bite off our fingers ourselves, which greatly increases our workload!

Well...... Why don't I go on strike with the zombies in yellow vests after work? They have been making trouble for a while, shouting and smashing something in the streets every day, and the city core will distribute flesh and blood to them for free, which is really comforting...... Ah——!!!!!h

The zombie of the guard, who was thinking about it, suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream! Because it was a dead corpse, the self-protection mechanism of the nerves in his body was very limited, causing his vocal cords to vibrate with a magnitude sufficient to self-destruct, making a penetrating noise comparable to a whistle!

It turned out that just when the guard zombie stretched out his hand to shake Ling Mo's face, Ling Mo suddenly stretched out his hand, accurately caught the guard zombie's hand, and with a slight force, he unscrewed the little finger of the guard zombie!

Then, Ling Mo pretended to be unable to speak, made a 'ho-ho' sound in his throat, and handed the little finger to the guard zombie, signaling that this was his own poll tax!

"You ——!!"

As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the vigilant zombie who was twisted his fingers alive and his bone marrow was still hanging at the broken point felt the sharp pain of piercing his heart! He pointed at Ling Mo with his other hand, trembling all over, showing great anger!

At this point, Ling Mo also tilted his head pretending to be puzzled, and handed the little finger forward, with a trace of impatience in his movements, as if to say:

Isn't that what you want? I've given it to you, why won't you let me in!

Vigilant zombies are furious!

Ignoring the pain and ferocity, he pulled out the standard baton issued by the core of the city to the 'Organized Guards of Raccoon City' from his waist, and pounced on Ling Mo with a force under his feet!

From a distance, you can see that on the baton, which looks like a bat, there are seventeen or eighteen unjustly killed ghosts, and every blow will cause great mental pain to the target!

However, it is a pity that before he could pounce, the surrounding guard zombies rushed up and stopped the impulsive guard zombie.

A zombie who looked like a captain walked up to him and slapped the zombie who had lost his finger in the face, furious:

"Isn't this country zombie friend a little finger? isn't it the one with the best quality among the little fingers?!

From the moment it was handed over, it became an honorable member of our raccoon city corpses! As a guard zombie who protects their safety, what reason do you have to do it to such a good corpse who abides by the law and pays taxes excessively, are you worthy of your police uniform?!"

The guard who was slapped by the tall captain was stunned, and the face of the guard zombie who sat on the ground showed an extremely resentful look. Looking at its appearance, it seemed that he still wanted to defend two sentences, but the captain didn't have any intention to listen to it at all, so he waved his hand directly and reprimanded:

"I know you want to say that it's your finger, but what's wrong with that? You pampered garbage can even have your finger broken by a country zombie, it's a shame to guard the zombie world!

On the day of entry, did you forget to take the oath under the banner of Raccoon City?

“Yes,sir!!”

The reprimanded guard zombie immediately stood up and yelled in response:

"I take an honorable oath under the banner of Raccoon City, the rotten land of the Noahfa Continent, in order to maintain the safety and social order of Raccoon City, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the corpses, strengthen the construction of the team of the garrison zombie team, improve the professional quality of the garrison zombies, ensure that the garrison zombies exercise their powers in accordance with the law, and ensure the smooth progress of the reform and opening up of Raccoon City and the modernization of GCISM!"

Such solemn and sacred words with strong political quality are spoken by a zombie with his intestines exposed and pus overflowing from the corners of his mouth, which is particularly funny and ridiculous!

But something surprising to Zero and the others appeared:

In the process of shouting out the oath, the expression of the vigilant zombie who originally seemed extremely resentful gradually calmed down and gradually became serene! When the entire oath was finished, all the resentment on its body dissipated, and its expression became passionate and enterprising, looking like it was willing to dedicate everything to the construction of Raccoon City!

Then, the guard zombie stepped forward, grabbed Ling Mo's hand and shook it again and again, while bowing continuously, and apologized in a painful tone:

"Comrade corpse, I didn't restrain my emotions just now, and I almost acted rudely to you, seriously smearing the glorious image of the Raccoon City Garrison, and also causing serious physical and mental trauma to you! I hereby formally and deeply apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive me for my reckless behavior just now!

In addition, please believe that a rough and unqualified law enforcer like me is definitely a special case in the special case of Raccoon City, and our garrison zombie team is all zombie talents with excellent professional quality, and each of them is worthy of the zombie garrison badge on his head! Comrade corpse, settling here is definitely the most correct choice in your two lives!"

I got goosebumps from the huge contrast of this vigilant zombie, but Ling Mo still responded to the other party very well, and hugged the other party sincerely, looking like a comrade seeing that all the comrades were Shi Lezhi. Then, under the enthusiastic guidance of the other party, he passed through the checkpoint outside Raccoon City, and walked towards the interior of Raccoon City with a few people behind him who were hidden by the 'breath'.

After a few steps, Connor in the team asked excitedly:

"Lord Xiao Ling, Lord Xiao Ling, are all these zombies brains broken? Is it that as long as I become a corpse here, I can eat the arms of the guard zombies every day without worrying about any retaliation?

Suck yo~~ If this is really the case, then this kind of place where you can eat for free without effort is simply heaven for me!"

If it was in normal times, Kangna's unscrupulous words would naturally make Zero smile, but at this time, she was not in such a mood, and after thinking for a while, she frowned and asked with a hint of luck:

"I saw this ...... at first This kind of brainwashing, which constantly emphasizes that the collective interest is greater than the individual interest, feels a bit like the propaganda method of our sect, but after seeing this kind of brainwashing, I actually successfully cleanse so many zombies with low intelligence and no brains at all, I feel that the mother religion is not so capable. So, Dad, this shouldn't be an evil deed committed by our sect...... Right?"

Ling Mo glanced at Zero with pity, and when he was about to open his mouth, Ku Baji, who had been acting very heartless next to him, suddenly sighed and said:

"Let me explain...... Before being sent to you, Your Highness Maria, to me and the Phantom Spearmen as an assistant in the operation to kill Skeletron, said to me and the Phantom Lancers:

If the Watcher's action is successful, and the two of us are lucky enough not to die, when we get to Raccoon City, we will tell Her Highness Joan of Arc about some of the basic operations of our sect now, so that you can understand it in advance and be prepared.

In case Her Highness Jeanne d'Arc wins her and becomes the new saintess, you can also quickly understand the entire sect through these materials, and you will not be able to reform indiscriminately after being blacked out, and once again damage the vitality of the sect that has accumulated for more than 300 years. ”

Zero sneered and sneered, "Oh, that big mushroom-headed saintess, she's really thoughtful! Shouldn't I thank her for her broad-mindedness and worship her for achieving the realm where I will be a selfless and worthy disciple?"

After thinking for a while, she felt that it would be better for her not to add more beaks to the contradiction between the two saints, so she pretended not to hear the words of Zero, and said to herself:

"Many years ago, when the sect first experimented with the fusion of fungi and the human body, it actually fell into a dilemma where it had nowhere to start. I'm not a technician, but I know a lot about mushrooms, and I know that the biggest difficulty encountered by the sect should be the rejection of the human body.

Although the fungus is very close to the human body in terms of composition, it is reasonable to make sense, even if the same human body undergoes organ transplantation... No, even if a skin graft is performed, it will produce a very strong rejection reaction, let alone implant a mushroom with completely different roots and the same source? Even if the best fungal symbiont is designed, which greatly increases the potential of the human body, the initial transplantation with ultra-high mortality rate still makes this technology only exist as a mirror.

Therefore, in the first two hundred years of the sect's decline, only a few gifted or adaptable reformers survived and became the backbone of the sect, but there were too few of them to take on the responsibility of strengthening the sect. The sect has really made a breakthrough and achieved the transformation of the body everywhere, or it relies on the advanced technology of Raccoon City, after all, they all started with mushrooms, and the commonality and complementarity are very strong!"

"Wait!" Ling Mo suddenly interjected, asking in some surprise:

"I used to have a direct conversation with Meng Po, and she told me that the Land of Decay is different from other Jedi, and that every 'attraction' here comes from an accident.

The 'accident' of Raccoon City comes from a flower called the 'Ladder of the Sun', which greatly prolongs its life after ingestion and ensures the activity of the symbiotic body. But at the same time, it will also produce strong trait mutations! The T virus is extracted from this flower, but later the mutation intensifies, especially after the soul soars, the mutation can not be controlled directly, and a zombie community is formed!

This is what Meng Po said herself, she shouldn't lie to me about this little thing, right?"

"Lord Watcher, Master Meng Po didn't lie to you, but with such a powerful being as powerful as her, it's easy to overlook some technical details. Kubaji shook her head and said:

"Think about it, fungi and human body components are so close to each other that they will be rejected, let alone plants like the Sun Ladder?

Also, if zombies are created to make them live longer, then their behavior must be controlled. The T virus only causes organisms to mutate indiscriminately, and follows the control of biological instincts to kill and eat everywhere, so how can it achieve sustainable development?"

This......

Ling Mo had to admit that this was a big blind spot! Seeing that several people were showing thoughtful expressions, Ku Baji continued:

"As the most essential feature of living things, the problem of rejection is almost unsolvable, so is there a kind of organism that does not trigger the rejection of the human body at all, and can still integrate with people?

Yes! That is, those strange parasites in the human body! As long as the T virus is fused with a parasite with a simple structure, it can easily infect the human body! Under the guidance of this bionic idea, the technicians soon found a suitable parasite, which not only solved the problem of rejection, but also solved the problem of how to control the modified body!

There are many legends about how the T virus enters the human body, and the most widespread is undoubtedly the theory that rats spread it. But I can tell you unambiguously that those claims are wrong, and the T-virus was passed on to people from crabs!

The reason is that there are 'crab slaves' in the crab's body!

This terrible parasite will burrow into the crab's body, starting from the center and spreading to the torso, appendages, muscles, internal organs and even the nervous system in every part of the crab's body, forming a white line branch with a diameter of about half a millimeter.

After that, the crab slave wrapped the crab's cranial ganglia with these filaments, controlled the crab's behavior, and then got rid of the crab's gonads.

After two months, the parasitic crab will grow an egg larger than a hernia in the lower abdomen, and the crab slave will grow and reproduce in it, and the single crab whose mind has been controlled will think that it is its own child, so as to act as a loyal guard of the crab slave larvae. (Be warned, don't go to Soha, one of the four most terrible parasites in history.) )

By the time Kubaji finished talking about this terrible creature, Zero's face was very ugly, and she already understood what Kubaji meant:

"Are you saying that zombies are essentially the same as those parasitic crabs, and it's not their own brains that control their behavior, but crab slaves fused with the T virus? Or is it more appropriate to call them 'human slaves'?"

Kubaji nodded without hesitation:

"That's right, the T virus in Raccoon City is the product of the fusion of the essence characteristics of the Sun Ladder and the Crab Slave! The Sun Ladder provides mutation, and the parasite of the Crab Slave spreads to the whole body of the zombie, and then the experimenters can control the behavior of the mutant zombie by controlling the simple brainless parasite of the Crab Slave!

You see that the guard zombie was honest after being said for a long time just now, in fact, it was not that he really understood this passage, but that the higher-level crab slave sent a signal to it, suppressed his biological instincts, and made his behavior move closer to the norms set at the beginning!

Our mycelial transformation technology is actually inspired by this, integrating fungi into the body of the crab slave, and then transforming the crab slave into a 'human slave' that can infect the human body, and then obtain mutant cultists with controllable behavior!"

Bang——!

With a loud bang, it turned out that after Zero learned the truth he didn't want to believe the most, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore and knocked Kubaji out with one punch!
