When the two followed the tattooed man to the accident site, they saw a tide of fierce rats coming out of the cracks in the garbage mountain, and pounced on humans with teeth and claws.

The recyclers wielded shovels and wrestled with the rats, slapping them out of the air as if they were playing baseball.

But the ferocious rat ignored it and jumped around.

Others have been scratched or bitten by ferocents, revealing bloody wounds.

Fortunately, these ferocious rats are small in size, and they look like ordinary mice, which are far less than the "fierce rats" encountered by Meng Chao in the undergraduate combat test, and they can't cause much harm to "behemoths" like humans.

"It's strange, ordinary rats are the least daring, how dare they attack humans in broad daylight?"

Meng Chao's eyes flashed, and the Blood Flame Knife dragged the chain and roared out, accurately wrapping around the neck of a fierce rat and dragging it over.

Taking out the harvesting tools from his waist bag, and putting on gloves and masks, Meng Chao started harvesting on the spot.

For him now, dismantling an ordinary mouse is really easier than disassembling a children's toy.

After three strokes and five divisions by two, the body cavity of this fierce beast was opened, and the internal organs, tendons, spine and brain were all clearly spread.

It can be clearly seen that the tendons of this ferocious rat also have lacerations left by excessive force.

There are also varying degrees of edema in various areas of the brain.

On the spinal cord, there were faint spots, and the reaction to Meng Chao's input of psionic energy ripples of different frequencies was either quite sluggish or too excited.

"The nervous system of this ferocious rat has been destroyed by the virus."

Meng Chao thought for a moment, "Judging from the autopsy results, it looks like a symptom of a mutant rabies virus, and it must be brought back for virus testing, etc., the recycler here, after being bitten, didn't he get sick?" ”

Most of the variants of rabies virus can also be infected by humans, the incubation period is also not long, there are almost no specific drugs, and once the attack occurs, the fatality rate is very high. “

The tattooed man shook his head and said, "No, this thing is just annoying, the wound is cleaned, it's fine, oh, there are two recyclers who have a fever, and they will be fine the next day." ”

"Really?"

Meng Chao frowned slightly, "Have you been vaccinated?" ”

"Injected, after all, human life is at stake."

The tattooed man said, "After being bitten by a ferocious rat and a mad dog, we are going to get an injection immediately, and we still have this bit of common sense." ”

"It's useless to get vaccinated."

Lu Siya knew what Meng Chao was thinking, and said softly, "The existing variant rabies virus vaccine in Dragon City only targets the ten common subtypes, but from the information we have, the three biochemical pet beasts that have been sick in 'Sega Tiancheng' are infected with a new subtype of virus.

"If you suspect that these ferocious rats and biochemical pet beasts are infected with the same virus, so many recoverers have been bitten, and the incubation period cannot exceed a week, it stands to reason that someone should have had a seizure a long time ago."

"Perhaps, the virus is weakening?"

Meng Chao said, "The erosion of the virus on the organs and brains of ferocious rats is not as powerful as the three biochemical pet beasts, perhaps it is constantly weakening in the process of mutation and losing its infectivity to humans?" ”

"Compared with this, I am more interested in how these ferocious rats were infected with the virus, half a month ago, Jin Yongqiang ran here, caught a few ordinary mice, and injected the virus into their bodies?"

Lu Siya muttered to herself, glanced at Meng Chao, and the two of them said in unison, "It's a giant sandworm!" ”

Immediately, Lu Siya frowned deeply again, shook her head and said, "Can giant sandworms also be infected with mutant rabies virus?" ”

"We have never found a case of giant sandworm infected with a variant of rabies virus before, but no one can say anything about the other world."

Meng Chaodao, "In the era of the earth, the four main subtypes of rabies virus were only transmitted among cats, dogs, wolves, badgers, and bats, and there has never been a case of rabies virus transmission after rodents bite humans."

"But after crossing into another world, the virus mutates, and even rats can spread the rabies virus.

"It stands to reason that giant sandworms belong to the terrestrial invertebrates of the oligochaeta of the phylum Annelids, and it is impossible to infect and transmit the rabies virus.

"But the giant sandworms here are the products of the biochemical concoction of the 'Spirit Creatures', in order to allow them to devour more kinds of garbage, digest a large amount of non-degradable substances, and become more intelligent and more obedient to human orders, the experts of the 'Spirit Creatures' have inserted a large number of gene fragments of other monsters into their gene chains.

"These giant sandworms can be understood as ...... Zoom in hundreds of times to grow a fusion of super earthworms and mammalian monsters that strengthen bones, muscles, and internal organs.

"I don't know if this mess will be infected with a new variant of rabies virus that has undergone a messy mutation."

Lu Siya pondered for a moment and asked the tattooed man: "Do you know where to escape after the giant sandworm got out of control half a month ago?" ”

The tattooed man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Lu Siya smiled: "It seems that I was too generous just now, giving you the illusion that people are stupid and have a lot of money, do you think I am easy to deceive?" ”

The tattooed man took a half-step back and stepped on a rat running wildly.

He cursed in a low voice, picked up his big foot and kicked the fierce rat out of more than ten meters, then raised his head and said with sincerity on his face: "I really don't know, I'm in charge of managing these recyclers, giant sandworms or something, it's all about 'spirit creatures', and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Listen."

Lu Siya was unmoved, and continued, "You should have also seen the news, several biochemical pet beasts concocted by the 'Spirit Creation Creatures' are out of control, and soon investigators will come here and turn the entire garbage dump upside down, all secrets are not secrets, and your concealment is meaningless."

"I'll ask you one last time, do you know, or you don't know."

Through the mirrored sunglasses, Lu Siya's gaze scraped the tattoos of the tattooed strong man like an ice blade.

The tattooed man shuddered deeply and stammered: "I, I really didn't see it, no one saw where the runaway giant sandworm went, but it probably ran along the sewage pipe, right?" ”

"Where's the sewer?" Lu Siya remained silent.

"In the northwest corner of the biochemical treatment plant."

"It was originally an industrial waste treatment station, with intricate sewage pipes underground, but then it was attacked by monsters, and the entire treatment station was destroyed, many of the sewage pipes collapsed or blocked, and the cost of repair was very high, so it was better to rebuild a new treatment station, and it was completely abandoned."

"Later, the scale of the dump continued to expand, and when the second phase of the project was completed, a biochemical treatment plant was built there.

"After the giant sandworm escaped, the technicians of the 'Spirit Creature' suspected that it was deep underground along the crack in the sewage pipe.

"But this set of sewage pipes was originally used to deal with industrial waste, and in the depths of the pipeline, it is difficult to have highly toxic or super-corrosive residual liquid, and the people of the 'Lingchuang Creatures' dare not go deep into the investigation, and they don't want to invite professionals from outside to make a big deal about it, anyway, the giant sandworm is very tame, so it's over."

"Okay."

Lu Siya nodded, "Take us to the northwest corner of the biochemical treatment plant, and then it's none of your business." ”

……

If you ignore the stench and the astonishing size of the giant sandworm, the biochemical treatment plant is like a fertile farmland.

Hundreds of giant sandworms burrow around in the endless garbage farms, devouring the residues of human civilization all day long, but excreting a staggering amount of nutrients - these substances are then sent to the fertilizer factory, where a variety of trace elements are added to become new feed or fertilizer.

Relying on this recycling, Dragon City can meet the survival needs of tens of millions of people in such a small space.

Through the unremitting efforts of the "Spirit Creation Creatures", this generation of giant sandworms no longer needs to be close to the beast master, and they can be controlled by brainwaves.

Instead, through the network, they can directly control the chip embedded in each of their ganglia for remote control.

The control room of the giant sandworm is located in the southeast corner of the biochemical treatment plant.

There are no staff in the northwest corner, except for three entrances to disused sewers more than two meters in diameter, standing in black on the edge of a sea of garbage.

With Lu Siya's permission, the tattooed strong man Fei also ran away.

Lu Siya knelt on one knee and studied the traces of the entrance to the sewage pipe intently.

"Sister Ya, you also have research on giant sandworms?" Meng Chao said curiously.

"Of course."

Lu Siya said lightly, "In college, I studied the exploration and mining of spar veins, and in underground prospecting operations, we often carry giant sandworms that have been specially modulated by genes to devour rocks and drill tunnels.

"In addition, the smell and shape of the excrement of many wild giant sandworms after devouring different spars are also subtle, and by analyzing their excrement, you can know the composition and purity of nearby spar veins—which is the basic skill of prospectors.

"That's right, there are indeed traces of giant sandworms crawling here, and deep underground, I can also smell the excrement of giant sandworms."

Lu Siya took a deep breath and stood up, but she shook slightly, and almost fell to the ground.

Meng Chao hurriedly supported her.

saw that her limbs were weak, her face was pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she had a disgusting expression that she wanted to vomit, but she couldn't.

"Sister Ya, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it stinks."

Only then did Meng Chao remember that Lu Siya was a "sensitive person".

After the double impact of red glow jade and blue primordial mother stone, the five senses are several times sharper than ordinary transcendentals, to the extent that they must be shielded with instruments, otherwise they will interfere with thinking.

This also includes the sense of smell.

Even Meng Chao couldn't stand the stench of the garbage dump, and he really didn't know how Lu Siya was able to survive just now.

In front of the tattooed man, she can still pretend to be cold.

As soon as the tattooed man left, she completely collapsed.
