The phantom eye insect is the insect that Ning Yi is currently encountering. This bug usually has several forms, and this octopus form is formed after they have evolved to devour each other to a certain extent.

If the evolutionary form of the phantom eye worm is divided into several stages, eggs, larvae, pre-adult and mature body, then this octopus-shaped phantasmal phantenary has only just entered the pre-adult stage.

As the name suggests, it is the stage of preparing to enter the adult worm, and at this stage, the phantom insect's ability to create hallucinations has just begun to awaken, so the phantom eye worm at this stage is still relatively easy to deal with.

However, there is a companion insect class of phantom eye worms, that is, the destroyers, that is, the ones that Ning Yi encountered in the fifth layer, but the little black beetles they saw were all parasites of the destroyers, and the real destroyers were those bugs that were waiting far away.

Saboteurs attack by spitting parasites from their mouths, which are not as big as sesame seeds, but their mouthparts secrete a plasma solution that can corrode most materials, including cement, metal, and more. Each destroyer can probably spit out hundreds of thousands of parasites, and it doesn't matter if all the parasites are dead, as long as the destroyers don't die, it won't be long before many parasites can be born in their bodies.

Qizai sensed its existence the moment the phantom insect released the hallucinatory ripples, which shows that firstly, the ability of the phantom insect to release the hallucinatory ripples is still very immature, and secondly, it also shows that Qizai, as a person with the same ability, is also very sensitive in this regard.

"I've blocked its hallucinatory ripples, don't you open your eyes, big curly, can you still flush the sealed bucket of insecticide with water to the insects?"

At the moment when Qizai shouted for everyone to close their eyes, everyone closed their eyes directly, including Curly Hair, as if they had rehearsed, and the position did not change much.

Man is a wonderful creature, when one external perception is weakened or disappears, other perceptions are enhanced, such as when the eyes are closed, the ears become more sensitive.

Curly listened sideways, and sure enough, he heard the sound of insects still coming from in front of him, "No problem, I'll take that sealed bucket and rush over now." ”

Immediately after that, Curly opened his palm in the direction of the sound of insects, and the water appeared out of thin air from Curly's palm, and rushed forward with a wild run.

The phantom eye worm immediately began to hiss violently again, and at the same time, the gap between the ceiling and the floor of the fifth and sixth floors, which had been sealed by Yuan Xiaolang, also heard the sound of being hit and gnawed by insects from time to time.

After a few moments, a more violent hissing sound came from the end of the hallway, and it appeared that the water wrapped in insecticide had touched the phantom eyeworm's body. It was very agitated by some of the ingredients in the insecticide, but the lights near it were no longer lit, and there was no light, and the insecticide seemed to be less lethal.

Ning Yi immediately thought of this question, "Lao Wang, give the bugs a fireball." Try to go as big as possible, and in short, make the bugs light up. ”

Lao Wang also understood Ning Yi's intentions, and groped his way to Qizai's side, during which Curly also helped him adjust his position, Lao Wang was old after all, and his ears were a little not very bright, but fortunately, there were others to help.

Then everyone felt that the outside of their eyelids seemed to light up, and there was a burning sensation, and it seemed that Lao Wang's fireball was not small. When the fireball swelled to be bigger than its head, it flew out violently, targeting the phantom insect in the distance.

"Bang" fire.

"I can open my eyes, and the illusion ripples have dissipated."

When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that one of the green eyes of the phantom insect had been broken, the entire part resembling the head of an octopus was shaking violently, and the tentacles below were also fangs and claws.

A shrill sound resounded throughout the research room.

Everyone covered their ears in unison, but at this time, Yuan Xiaolang found that the metal that filled the crack had been somewhat deformed, "Boss Ning......"

Yuan Xiaolang only had time to shout such a sound, and the metal on it broke open a big hole, and then everyone else also found something abnormal.

"Everyone, pesticides are waiting." Ning Yi took the lead in blocking Luo Yunyun and Nanxing behind him, and sprayed a few insecticides on the small black insects that gushed out.

……

I don't know how long it took, but the ground was full of small black bugs, and the worms of the saboteur's body were scattered all over the ground, and the phantom insects were spread out on the ground like deflated balloons.

Yuan Xiaolang leaned against the wall without figuring it, "Fortunately, there are pesticides, otherwise these insects are really difficult to deal with." ”

"It seems that we will report this kind of insect after I go back, there have been hunting teams sporadically encountered before, but it should not have become a climate, this time we have encountered, it is much more powerful than those people said." Lao Wang kicked a dead saboteur next to him.

Ning Yi checked along the corridor, "It should be the earthquake that shook the wall here open, and the insects entered here along the cracks that were opened. ”

Nanxing only helped spray a few insecticides, but he wasn't too tired, the bugs in the research room should have been cleaned up by this time, and those damaged places were relatively easy to repair.

After resting for a while, everyone went directly to the seventh floor.

It is said to be the seventh floor, but the entire area of the seventh floor is only one-third of the other floors, and the power system and equipment restart system of the entire laboratory are placed here.

According to the request in Dr. Sinan's projection, Ning Yi pressed the restart button on the huge touch screen.

At the press of the button, all the lights went out, but only after a second, the lights began to turn on one by one, and the sound of the equipment also rang out.

At this time, a prompt box appears on the screen:

Please set permissions. Next.

Ning Yi didn't think about seizing this research room, so he directly pressed the next step, but the screen did not change, but prompted him to set permissions again.

Seeing this, Nan Xing suddenly said: "Captain Ning, since this is Dr. Sinan's own research room, and it is to study plant-related things, since it lets you set permissions, isn't this the reward left by Dr. Sinan?" ”

"yes, maybe that's the reward, and you can't move on to the next step without setting permissions." Luo Yunyun also said suddenly realized.

"In that case, I'll set the permissions." Ning Yi is not a hypocritical person.

Soon the permission was set, and this permission was even higher than Ning Yi imagined, it can be said that after the permission was set, the entire research room was already Ning Yi, including the virtual intelligent management, which also identified Ning Yi's owner.

"Wow, then we have to seal this room after we leave, otherwise it will be bad if someone else finds out." Yuan Xiaolang said exaggeratedly.

Ning Yi looked at the last setting on the screen, and then said in a low voice: "Dr. Sinan didn't encrypt the reboot system before, maybe he had some own considerations, so we were able to restart so smoothly." Now I'm going to encrypt it, and if the key is wrong, Virtual Intelligence will drive out or kill the intruder. ”

"I have an idea." Nan Xing saw that Ning Yi had completely accepted this research room, and then said: "Can we leave some of the extra research instruments, and then Captain Ning orders the virtual intelligent management to conduct the research of insects, maybe we can get some useful research results." In the reference room before, I saw that many of Dr. Sinan's basic research was also done by virtual intelligent management. ”

"That's a good idea." The eighth was obviously very satisfied with Nanxing's idea.

"In that case, let's fix the damaged area first, and then separate some of the instruments and put them back." Ning Yi also agreed with Nanxing's opinion.

With the reboot and clearances set up, a female voice with a mechanical voice came over the radio.

"Hello, Captain Ning."

"Hello, Brain Wise."

"Detected a lot of damage to the upper cluster guards, and requested that a maintenance robot be assigned to repair it."

"Agree to make repairs. Also, what was the research arrangement in the previous laboratory? ”

"Since the system has been restarted, the current research schedule is empty, do you want to set it up?"

"Set up a research arrangement, conduct a preliminary analysis of the bugs in the fifth and sixth layers, find out the weaknesses of the bugs, summarize and archive them."

"I have received an order, please ask Captain Ning to patrol and guard to recover the bugs."

Since the previous maintenance robots and patrol robots were damaged by bugs, there are no robots that can be dispatched to the brains of the laboratory.

Luckily, there was a robot storage area across the street from the sixth-floor material warehouse. However, at this time, those robots are in the space of the Southern Star. At Ning Yi's signal, Nanxing released twenty maintenance robots, as well as forty patrol robots, and thirty cluster guards, and after starting the robots, they soon began to work under the arrangement of Zhi Brain.

On the other hand, the repair of the cracks in the fifth and sixth layers of the wall is also quite smooth, and Yuan Xiaolang is the main force in the repair. It was up to him to cover the cracks with metal layer by layer, and at the same time, Ning Yi asked Zhi Brain to intensify his patrol of these places.

By the time everyone came to the ground from the lab, the moon had already climbed into the sky. It may be two or three hours before dawn.

After communicating with Zhi Brain, everyone learned that the lavender and wood mantis outside were also the results of the research laboratory, and by spreading pheromones, the wood mantis became the guard of this lavender nursery, and any creature that came in would be attacked by them.

As for why no bugs entered the lavender nursery from the ground, Zhi Brain did not give an answer. However, everyone speculates that it may be due to pheromones, in short, everything will have to wait for the results of the brain research to be decided.

Zhi Brain also proposed that the species of insects are somewhat single, which may have an impact on the speed of research, which Ning Yi also took into account, and planned to wait until he went to the county hospital in T County, and then took everyone to hunt some insects.

……

After a short rest, it was already dawning.

Under the control of Zhi Brain, the wood mantis around the small building in the lavender nursery retreated. The two cars drove out from the other side of the lavender nursery along the route they had been looking forward to.

Nanxing asked on the walkie-talkie: "Captain Ning, since this is one of our bases, will we rest in the development zone or ...... when we come back?" ”

Originally, the human weapons hunting team on the way out and back planned to stop in a development zone in the middle of the journey, but the appearance of the research room disrupted this plan.

Nanxing had heard from everyone that they could occasionally go out and encounter living people trapped in buildings, and if there were not many of them, they would directly take them back to the settlement. Nanxing felt that there might still be living people in the county hospital, and if he took those people with him at that time, he wouldn't be able to settle here.
