A silk thread parasite suddenly appeared in the fungus collected by the ants. But that's not the only one.

Soon, the second and third strains were discovered, proving that this was not just a coincidental case, but that they had infiltrated the "Dongyang City" in a big way.

The protagonist is immediately nervous, this parasite is extremely capable of multiplying and has a powerful destructive power when infected. Perhaps it was under this circumstance that the previous "Dongyang City" was all infected, and finally moved to the hills, where they traveled to the enemy country.

If left unchecked, the source of infection will soon be able to infect large numbers of insects and ants, creating a new threat again.

The protagonist immediately orders a state of emergency for the entire nest, requiring all similar-looking fungi in the warehouse to be moved to the combustion chamber and incinerated, and the transportation and incineration operations are monitored by Rambo and his direct team.

At the same time, the protagonist asks all the ants to supervise each other, report it immediately once they find suspected infected ants, and if necessary, take compulsory measures to take suspected infected ants to the designated location.

Because the silk parasite is concealed and can interfere with the cognition of other ants, although the protagonist's instructions have a relatively higher priority, but just in case, the protagonist still asks Rambo Fei to take fifty flying knight males and a hundred unmarried males to investigate the nest.

These measures quickly paid off, and as many as hundreds of silk thread parasites were found in the warehouse, some of these silk thread parasites had been dried, but one of the dried mushrooms accidentally touched a drop of water, and it was immediately reactivated, writhing and trying to crawl to a nearby worker ant, what a tenacious life.

This parasite was quickly eradicated, but so many potential threats were mixed into the edible fungus and transported back to "Dongyang City" without the ants knowing, which really shocked the protagonist.

Fortunately, the males are relatively undisturbed by the stealth ability of these silk parasites, and they can more accurately judge the potential threat.

Rambo Buddha quickly reported that all the mushrooms with similar forms in the warehouse were burned, which made the protagonist feel a little relieved.

The situation with Rambo Fly's returns is also not optimistic. The ants in the whole nest were ordered not to go out that day, and then they were divided into male ant teams led by Lan Bofei to investigate one by one.

After a whole day of investigation, it was found that more than 30 worker ants and more than 10 soldier ants were infected in the whole nest.

The infection of these ants is still in the early stages, and they have just been pierced into the body by the larvae of the silk thread parasite, and a little fungus sprouts emerge from the back. They all retained a clear consciousness and provided a lot of useful information.

The protagonist puts Rambo Buddha in charge and treats the infected with the fire therapy that he has summarized earlier. At the same time, he gave a bloody order: if the situation showed signs of getting out of hand, the same kind of people must be terminated immediately.

For the convenience of treatment or guarding, the medical room is set up in a nest room close to the combustion chamber.

At the same time, the protagonist also intensifies the questioning of the infected person and the ants who retrieved the silk thread parasite, and after some investigation, the protagonist quickly targets the depression on the north side of the nest, which is also the place where mealworms were previously found.

The source of infection is north of "Dongyang City", rather than closer to the south of the parasitic ant nest, which is somewhat unexpected by the protagonist.

However, if the communicator is a flying insect such as a dead leaf butterfly, this makes sense, after all, you can't predict where a flying insect with a large area will fly.

The protagonist quickly gathers the Praetorian Guard team such as Mulan, uses a fire storage device to bring the fire, and sets off towards the northern depression. This is not a war, and there is no need to send large forces, which increase the potential risk of infection.

The protagonist rode Xiaoqing as usual, flying slowly in the sky, and from time to time he had to circle a few times, waiting for Mulan to follow on the ground.

It didn't take long for the Northern Depression to appear in front of the protagonist's eyes.

At this time, after the rainy season, the depression is already verdant, and the large areas of vegetation almost completely cover the surface, and it looks full of life. But beneath the leaves of the plants are filthy sewage and mud, and only the intricate paths of dry land, driftwood and plant stems and leaves are accessible to the ants.

The protagonist simply asks Mulan and the others to stop, wait at the edge of the depression, and fly over to see the situation first.

According to the intelligence, all the silk thread parasites came from the roots of a willow tree in the middle of the depression. The protagonist soon finds the willow tree, and there is only one tree in the entire depression.

At the root, the protagonist discovers the source of the infection. The source of the infection could not have been more obvious, and had turned into a dense hairball composed of white adult silk parasites and juvenile hyphae. Judging by the wing remains scattered on the side, the source of the infection should be the corpse of a moth.

The protagonist wonders if this moth is the same as the dead leaf butterfly he has seen, infected with parasitic bacteria outside the new nest of parasitic ants, and then flies here and dies, turning into nutrients to nourish countless mycelium, and eventually infecting other insects.

The protagonist stops on the trunk of the willow tree at this moment, and can see some unnamed aquatic insects crawling from the water to the shore and feasting on these parasites. At the same time, juvenile hyphae also took the opportunity to transfer to them.

The source of infection has been found, and the protagonist is still not at ease, so he goes around the neighborhood a few times to make sure that there is no other source of infection.

Subsequently, the protagonist leads the Praetorian Guard team, relying on the guiding pheromones left by the ants who came here to forage for food, and follows an intricate path to the vicinity of the source of infection.

The ants quickly scared away other insects that were feasting on the source of the infection.

Later, the ants tried their best to collect some dry twigs and grass stalks from the vicinity, and threw them far away near the source of infection.

After the ants lit the fire that had already been built, the flames quickly spread.

Countless parasites seemed to sense the impending catastrophe, and actually writhed and struggled in the flames, and the adult parasites and juvenile mycelium left the corpse of the original host one after another, writhing and crawling like snakes, trying to escape the catastrophe.

These silk thread parasites are able to move freely like living beings, which is something that the protagonist knows before. However, the parasites, which had previously only acted when they were preparing to parasitize a new host, have now been discovered to act when threatened, and it appears that these parasites have acquired the characteristics of some animals.

There is no escape from the parasite, the periphery of the fire is ignited first, and then it burns little by little from the outside in to the source of infection.

The silk thread parasites that flee outside in a panic will be dried and burned to death halfway through.

Most of the parasites choose to hide in the cooler interior, and in order to avoid the flames, they even burrow into the body of a moth that has become an empty shell.

However, this was just a matter of breathing for dozens of seconds, and soon, the source of infection was burned to ashes by a fire.
