Chapter 343: Breaking the Cocoon
On the other side, in a dream.
"How can so many flowers pop up!"
Xia Ren frowned, his face unusually ugly.
"These flowers, they're all the same, right?"
The real estate agent also realized that the situation in front of him was probably out of Xia Ren's cognition.
If, according to what I just said, a flower represents a person's dream, then at this moment, how many people do the whole sea of flowers around you represent?
And no one has ever called for them, the flowers are in full bloom on their own.
"What is this?"
Niu Changshou dragged a flower next to him and saw a black cocoon about the size of a little finger lying in the core of the flower.
He took the cocoon in his hand and felt no weight, but his fingers found that this black cocoon was extremely hard, and even his strength could completely resist it.
Seeing this, Xia Ren and the real estate agent also looked for the flowers blooming next to them, and the result turned out to be real.
In addition, they also found that although the cores of these flowers did not disappear completely like Patient Three, they also had serious deficiencies, and almost half of them were eaten away.
Looking at the cocoon, you can see that the black hard shell on the surface has some kind of long worm-like lines like earthworms.
Xia Ren's eyes widened: "This is ...... Cocoons of atypical parasites that cause parasites! ”
He recalled Zheng Xinming's last words before his death, mentioning the "six metamorphosis", according to the normal understanding, the larvae hatch, grow to a certain extent, and then form cocoons and wait for pupae to be reborn, which can be counted as the first metamorphosis.
Other words......
Xia Ren looked around, the sea of flowers rippled in the wind, and every flower in it was parasitic with a cocoon waiting to pupate, which was ...... What a horrible number!
And the larvae of the first stage are able to have such a big effect on people, if they wait for them to enter the second stage......
Unthinkable.
"Can you destroy insect cocoons?"
Xia Ren asked the housing agent on the side and the longevity of the cow.
The two of them tried it, shook their heads, and said, "This cocoon is too hard, and we don't have any weapons with us." ”
Xia Ren gritted his teeth, the system couldn't follow him to come here, and this world didn't want to be like a dream built by Huang Qiuyuan, who could let himself rely on his imagination to summon something out of thin air, so he couldn't do anything with the eggs.
Since you can't destroy the cocoons, you can directly destroy these flowers......
However, these flowers reflect the dreams of everyone in reality, and if they are destroyed, I don't know what impact it will have on people in reality.
"No matter!"
Xia Ren was ruthless, even if it would cause the death of people in reality, he would definitely do everything possible to prevent the cocoons from hatching, if these rushes successfully transformed to the second stage, the number of people who died as a result might increase exponentially!
"Spoil the flowers!"
He loudly reminded the real estate agent of the longevity of the cow, and then he took the brunt of it, and began to destroy the flowers around him, including the one of Patient Three.
Although these flowers are relatively large, each plant is more than a meter tall, but the stems and leaves are extremely fragile, and their main stems can be broken by breaking them by hand.
Although you can see the fluorescent liquid flowing in the stems and leaves of the flower, when it is destroyed, it immediately disperses like smoke and dust, leaving no trace.
Xia Ren took a big stride, using his hand as an axe, and began to sweep wildly towards the flowers in the area around him, and soon cleared a small blank area.
Housing agents and cattle longevity are also the same.
However, even if the three of them worked together, it was still a little insignificant in the face of this vast sea of flowers.
While they were sweeping wildly, those black insect cocoons quietly changed.
"Click!"
A subtle sound reached Xia Ren's ears, like the sound of an eggshell cracking.
Then, the sound suddenly intensified, filling all directions.
Xia Ren stopped his movements and bent down to pick up a cocoon that had fallen to the ground because the flower had disappeared.
A crack opened on the surface of the cocoon, and through the gap, you could faintly see a withered yellow object stirring inside.
"It's over."
Xia Ren's mood fell to the bottom in an instant.
Their behavior just now did not hinder the hatching of the cocoon.
Seeing him stop, Niu Changshou and the real estate agent glanced at each other, and also picked up the insect cocoons on the ground and saw the same situation.
The cocoons are going to hatch, and there are so many of them together......
A deep sense of powerlessness hovered over everyone's hearts, and they tried to do everything they could, but there was nothing they could do to stop it.
Xia Ren took a deep breath and stared at the cocoon in the palm of his hand.
The black hard shell is indestructible from the outside, but when forced from the inside, it is as fragile as a piece of tissue paper.
The rift grew bigger and bigger, and finally, the black hardcore split a long line from the middle, splitting in two, revealing the creature inside.
It resembles a large moth, withered yellow, with no eyes, no mouth, and not a dry tentacle like an ordinary insect, but a few fleshy tentacles all over its head, like the tail of a snake.
Xia Ren saw that between those tentacles, there was a mouthpart full of fine teeth, which should be its mouth.
Aside from its head, the insect is nothing special about its other body parts, except for its wings, which make it larger than the fists of an average adult male.
After observing for a while, Xia Ren held his palm and pinched the insect to death.
Without the protection of their black hard shells, their bodies are not much stronger than those of ordinary insects.
But although he can pinch one or two to death, the impact on the insect swarm is minimal.
Countless insects break out of their cocoons and lie on the flowers, they stretch their wings, and then flicker softly and fly into the sky.
Xia Ren and the others could only watch, those insects were like a flock of migrating birds, gathering together in an orderly manner, forming a cloud of withered yellow clouds, flying and flying, and suddenly disappeared into the sky without a trace.
After they flew away, the entire sea of flowers quickly withered and withered, revealing the original land.
"Say, where did they go?"
Niu Changshou's expression was blank, and he actually had the answer in his heart.
……
……
In reality, at the entrance of the hospital.
Roshan has been stacked by the crowd with its body at least fifteen meters high.
At such a height, people at the bottom of Roshan do not know how much pressure they have to bear, and they may even have been squeezed into meatloaf.
The Foundation and the Superman Association stood on the edge, and the highest positions on the field were B-class investigator housing agent and plague scholar Niu Changshou, but they were all in a dream at the moment, and there was no way to see this scene.
Without their orders, in the face of thousands of lives, no one dared to act rashly.
"It's the craziest thing I've ever seen."
The director of the hospital took off his glasses with trembling hands and wiped the sweat from his face.
Li Wan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how many people will die because of this." ”
Before the words fell, Roshan in front of them suddenly stopped.
No one rushed up again, and the people who were already on it no longer made any movement, everything seemed to stand still in an instant, like a network connection interruption, so abrupt that it was difficult for everyone to accept.
Approaching, a chanting-like sound, echoed in the night.
They looked up and saw a withered yellow moth about the size of a fist flying out of the heads of the people on Roshan, as if the moths were disembodied and did not have any visible effect on the bodies of those people, as if they were projected from another world, full of illusory texture.
At this time, Roshan is like a huge ancient tree that lives until autumn, and the moths are like mature dead leaves, and when the wind blows, they will break away one after another and float away in groups.
"Where are they going? What are they going to do! ”
