Chapter 41: The Influence of Genes
I don't know if it's because it's close to the human gathering place, the ghoul tide is running fast, and when the fungus blanket just covered the top of Wang Hui's head, the ghouls at the forefront of the ghoul tide were already close to the river bank.
"Roar!"
With a hoarse and low roar, one by one the ghouls jumped directly into the river, using their hands and feet together, following their instincts to move forward, and soon came to the opposite bank, some of the ghouls could only sink into the riverbed to walk because of their size, and then jump out of the river with excellent strength.
As for the ghouls with the ability to fly and float, crossing the river bank is easier.
Even Wang Hui, who was hiding under the fungus blanket and secretly observing the tide of ghouls, also found that some ghouls could not only swim, but also some ghouls were helping and cooperating with each other, and he saw a huge floating like a turtle on the other side of the river, and there were constantly low-level ghouls jumping on the big black turtle shell, and then slowly floating together across the river bank.
"No wonder the ghoul tide takes humans so seriously."
Wang Hui frowned and muttered to himself: "Under the control of high-level ghouls, some low-level ghouls who have no intelligence have also begun to know how to cooperate and cooperate with each other. ”
I'm not afraid that hooligans will fight, I'm afraid that hooligans will be tactical.
Ordinary ghouls are already a headache, they are infected with toxins all over their bodies, large-scale ghouls also know how to cooperate tactically, ordinary human gatherings can't stop it at all, they can only join forces to resist, and there will even be a lot of losses.
From this point of view, and drawing on the draugr tide wars that have broken out for more than 20 years, the ghouls who know how to cooperate with each other are fully capable of killing the global human race.
Most of the human beings are ordinary people, and each ghoul is equivalent to an enhancer, and their abilities are complex and changeable, and they have a myriad of postures, and they have the most feared toxin infection of humans.
The gap in the battle between the two sides is too great.
But the humans strangely resisted the attack and infection of the ghouls, stood firm, and formed a tripartite balance with the ghouls and mutant beasts.
There are many anthropologists in the post-disaster world who have put forward similar hypotheses: the formation of the ghoul tide is actually similar to the behavior of "fighting the autumn wind", they do not want to really kill all humans, and the invasion at intervals is to plunder humans and become new ghouls, so as to continue the ghoul race.
In other words, because the ghouls lack the means to reproduce themselves, they keep humans in captivity and achieve the continuation and development of their own race by raising humans.
This doctrine is too terrifying to be accepted by humans, but Wang Hui feels that there is some truth to it.
From a human point of view, ghouls can indeed be considered a new biological race, and even low-level ghouls have a large number of genetic sequences within their genes that are eager to continue and strive to survive, which is why ghouls are keen to infect humans and all other living things.
Infecting other creatures is another form of reproduction for ghouls.
To use the words of the old chapters that Long Aotian once read, humans are the RBQ of ghouls.
Humans have always been unable to accept such opinions and assumptions, unable to tolerate that they are only a necessity for a group of reproduction in the eyes of the ghouls, and the only reason for survival is because the ghouls need to continue to reproduce, so they have not killed the global human race.
Wang Hui, on the other hand, agrees with this view, and even thinks that such a hypothetical view is likely to be in line with the current reality of the planet's biosphere.
Creatures desire to reproduce, this is the most irrefutable genetic instinct, even everything the Zerg does, it is based on the points of "live", "live better", and "live longer".
......
The small forest stream can't stop the tide of ghouls that come across thousands of mountains and rivers.
A large number of ghouls landed on the other side of the series, some of them stood on top of the fungus carpet, some of them even leaned near the hive, and even kept poking at the invisible hive, their low IQ made them unable to understand why there was nothing around them, but they felt that something was standing there in the way, and they could not continue to go deeper.
More ghouls spread out in the Wolong Forest, one Wolong Forest simply can't hold so many ghouls, more and more ghouls continue to move forward, continue to move towards the Wolong gathering place.
As the nearest human gathering place, the ghouls have already smelled a rich and sweet human scent, like a hormonal breath, stimulating the ghouls to keep getting closer.
And Wang Hui has always been hidden under the fungus blanket, and the fungus carpet exudes the breath of ghouls, which protects Wang Hui and the primitive jumping insects and primitive worker bees very well.
Although Wang Hui's body form is human, the organs, tissues, and flesh of his body have already been improved by the genes of the insect swarm, he is not a real human, he does not need to breathe, and he will not feel uncomfortable in the fungus blanket.
Even if Wang Hui regains his previous strength and masters the former dominant talent, he can completely change his physical form freely.
The fungus blanket is the warmest home for Wang Hui, and the tentacles as fine as fluff appear in the depths of the fungus blanket, piercing into it along Wang Hui's pores, nostrils, and mouth, constantly releasing white nutrients and nourishing the dominant body.
Two words, comfortable!
Wang Hui's situation at the moment, if you have to describe it from the standpoint of human beings, is lying on a soft bench, enjoying the sunbathing at just the right temperature, surrounded by sexy and colorful beauties peeling fruits to feed, and enjoying sweet coconut water......
Of course, the word beauty is used very inappropriately, because the genes in Wang Hui's body have been modified, and there are no hormones and desires for the opposite sex.
He is the master of the swarm, but he does not shoulder the original task of reproducing the swarm, and does not need to leave behind cumbersome genetic sequences.
In other words, Wang Hui is an asexual creature.
Of course, if the development of the group is necessary, Wang Hui can evolve into a sexual creature.
The topic is far away......
Harvest!
"Bang!"
A humanoid ghoul about three meters tall and completely black, like a layer of armor, stood on the fungus carpet, the structure of its epidermis was very special, at least Wang Hui couldn't see what caused the evolutionary direction, but from the breath of life it exuded, it could be felt that this was a high-level ghoul.
The black-armored ghoul turned its head slightly, its huge head was also covered with a layer of armor, it couldn't see its eyes, it didn't even have any facial features, but Wang Hui could feel it looking at the fungus blanket and the insect nest.
It can see the hive.
To be precise, it can sense invisible hives.
"Sure enough, it was discovered."
Wang Hui is not surprised, the first stage of the hive's defense transformation is only the most basic stealth effect that affects the vision of creatures, and for those creatures that do not rely on visual perception information, this layer of hive defense is basically equivalent to nothing.
"Juggernaut, it doesn't pose a threat to the hive."
The brain worm quickly spoke: "You don't need to worry, even the most advanced ghoul can't change the influence of its own genetic sequence, and it won't attack creatures that are also ghouls." ”
Powerful creatures are never the strength of the creatures themselves, but the strength of the genes in the body.
For high-level ghouls, the hive, although peculiar, is just a peculiar ghoul plant.
Plants infected with ghoul toxin, although rare, are not absent.
The high-level ghoul glanced at the hive, then strode forward, and sure enough, as the brain worm said, did not make any move towards the hive.
The influence of genes is too powerful, even intelligent high-level ghouls cannot change the influence of genes on themselves, just like humans always like the opposite sex with good looks.
"Let the ghoul jumping worms keep up with the team, and send a part of the jumping worms to the front line of the battlefield to grab human corpses, and give priority to the corpses of the enhancers."
Wang Hui paused and spoke: "The other part of the jumping insects should pay attention to avoid the high-level ghouls and continue to hunt in the rear. ”
Humans and ghouls fighting.
The swarm is to be the biggest winner.
