Chapter 522: Spores
After scratching indiscriminately, Lin Xiao felt that the stinging pain on his skin had eased slightly, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all, at this time, a fool would care about what time and space repulsion could be!
Opening the omniscient artificial intelligence panel, Lin Xiao quickly found the most versatile and effective antidote, and the amount required to manufacture it seemed to be a bit large, but now it had to be manufactured!
"Sure manufacturing! Ten antidotes! ”
Lin Xiao simply made ten antidotes, used one for himself, left one for Wang Liang, and left some in case of emergency.
This versatile and powerful antidote is naturally not oral, but is made of a needle filled with a clear liquid, which can be injected intravenously or intramuscularly.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao pierced the veins at the elbow, injected the transparent liquid in the needle into his body, and then the whole person collapsed to the ground, waiting for the antidote to take effect.
Just lying on the ground, Lin Xiao's recovered consciousness was shaken again, the strange smell of fungi smelled in his nose gradually disappeared, and the slightly sweet smell that made people want to stop became more and more intense.
"No! I can't help it! Take another bite! Just one bite! There's an antidote anyway, isn't it? ”
"Nope! It can't be like this! It's going to die! Didn't die on the interstellar defense, didn't die on the Jedi battlefield, didn't die in the mouths of zombies and mutant beasts, but died in front of a bunch of mushrooms? Lin Xiao, don't be ashamed! ”
"Just one bite! It's really just one bite! ”
"Not even half a mouthful! Don't want to die? Think about your fleet, think about Wang Liang, think about the Dark Rock HQ! There's also the Tower Hill squad of the interstellar battlefield, the launch key for the Mayan headquarters! ”
In this way, in the midst of the battle between heaven and man in his heart, the antidote in Lin Xiao's body gradually took effect.
The chilling sensation spreads along the blood vessels to the whole body, and the redness and swelling on the surface of the body gradually eases and dissipates, and a thick layer of white-gray mucus oozes out along the pores on the surface of the body, which should be secreted because of the redness and swelling.
What shocked Lin Xiao even more was that there were some tiny white granular objects mixed in the mucus, and there were traces of brown blood on these granular objects!
Spore! Lin Xiao suddenly figured it out! Originally, it was thought that this hallucinogenic effect was the survival rule of mushrooms.
But now it seems that this is like the reproduction method of Xanthus, by scattering the spores on the creatures that have devoured the mushrooms, so that these creatures parasitized by the spores can run around in pain to multiply, and over time, these mushrooms are likely to grow on every inch of soil in the last days!
No way! This dangerous plant must not be allowed to spread! Lin Xiao immediately made up his mind, and when he and Wang Liang fully recovered, he burned all the mushrooms and spores scattered on the ground that had not yet germinated! It's better to strangle this dangerous thing in the cradle!
Thinking like this, Lin Xiao dragged his still weak body and walked towards the red brick house where Wang Liang was.
Wang Liang did not break free from the shackles of the hemp rope, perhaps in front of Wang Liang, who was not poisoned, this kind of hemp rope with the thickness of a thumb was not enough to restrain his hands and feet, but now it is different, he is paralyzed by the hallucinogenic toxin of the mushroom, he is a fierce tiger, and he will be as fragile as a sick cat.
According to the method of injecting himself, Lin Xiao injected the antidote into Wang Liang's body, and then sat down and thought about how to destroy this mushroom safely and thoroughly, while waiting for the antidote in Wang Liang's body to take effect.
In fact, compared with Lin Xiao, Wang Liang was already very lucky, he only stuffed a piece of mushroom rhizome into his mouth and chewed, and there were only a few spores scattered on the back of his hand on the mushroom rhizome, plus Lin Xiao stopped it in time, he did not swallow the mushroom.
Therefore, the antidote took effect faster and more thoroughly in Wang Liang's body, and it was only ten minutes before the injection, Wang Liang's consciousness became clear, and he felt that the whole person was tied into a dumpling, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Xiao with a confused face.
"I said Brother Lin, why are you tying me up? Also, the back of my hand, why does it hurt so much? ”
Hearing Wang Liang's words, Lin Xiao was almost angry, damn it, if you didn't have to eat that mushroom, would Lao Tzu be able to suffer with you?
"What do I do, you ask? I'd like to ask you! Lin Xiao gave him an angry look, and after breaking his eyelids to make sure that his pupils were normal, he released the hemp rope for him: "You almost killed yourself just now, and almost killed me by the way!" ”
Seeing that Wang Liang was really fine, Lin Xiao's nerves completely relaxed, lit a cigarette, and told Wang Liang what happened before.
When it was over, Lin Xiao nodded at the mushroom outside the red brick house with bad intentions: "If you don't believe what I said, go out and pull a mushroom yourself and try again!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Liang's face immediately turned pale, although he was stunned, but this does not mean that he is stupid! Seeing the mucus excreted from the pores on the back of his hands, mixed with the spores, he didn't have the courage to defy the law again.
"I believe I believe! Brother Lin, what should we do next? We can't move so many machine tools, and if the convoy comes in, what if the others are poisoned? Wang Liang looked at the large mushrooms outside the brick house with concern, and his face was full of palpitations.
Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Xiao could only smile bitterly: "What else can I do?" Go out and get some gasoline in the scrap car and come back, and the fire will be clean! These things are very magical, and once the creatures get their spores, they will soon spread the habitat of this mushroom to every inch of the soil of the end times! ”
Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Wang Liang couldn't help but think of a mushroom forest in the ruins of a city, and countless mushrooms one person tall formed a mushroom forest, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Terrible! There are only two words left in Wang Liang's heart, and that is terrible! He couldn't imagine what a terrifying thing it would be if the spores of this mushroom were spread to every corner of the world under the carrier of parasites, as Lin Xiao said? Just in the face of zombies and a very small number of mutant beasts, humans are already surviving, plus mutated mushrooms with such amazing hallucinogenic effects.
Don't dare to think! Wang Liang didn't dare to continue thinking about it!
"Burn it! Must be burned! Wang Liang took a deep breath, ignoring the still strong stinging pain in the back of his hand, and immediately struggled to get up from the ground, picked up the empty bucket on the side, and was about to go out to find the scrap car to drain the oil.
Lin Xiao grabbed him: "Don't rush this matter first!" Let's take a breath and look for the entrance to the underground warehouse, these brick houses are obviously to hide people's eyes, the real warehouse should be underground! ”
Wang Liang nodded, as Lin Xiao said, although these mushrooms have endless troubles, they are indeed not in a hurry for the next moment.
Thinking of this, Wang Liang's heart couldn't help but become hot, because their goal of traveling hundreds of kilometers was in front of them, as long as they found the entrance to the underground warehouse, they could get the high-precision machine tool that the Dark Rock Headquarters dreamed of!
High-precision machine tools! For the Darkrock HQ, which has almost zero industrial base, this is definitely a baby bump against the sky! As long as you can get the high-precision machine tool back, you can manufacture an ordinary precision machine tool with a slightly reduced accuracy, in a sense, the high-precision machine tool is not only limited to the machine tool, this is completely the industrial machine in the last days!
"If you were the designer of an underground warehouse, where would you design the entrance to the real underground warehouse?" Lin Xiao walked around, except for a few tattered and rusty warehouses, he really didn't see the shadow of the underground warehouse, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Wang Liang frowned, he habitually touched his nose and thought about it, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "If I were a designer, I would definitely not design in these buildings, because no matter how large the space in the building is, it is always restricted, not only is it more troublesome to design, but the space inside the building must be the top priority in the search process of unknown enemies, and I will definitely not make such a stupid arrangement!" ”
Lin Xiao nodded, Wang Liang's words are very reasonable, since the entrance to the underground warehouse will not be in the building, then it must be in the courtyard?
"You look for it from north to south, I'll look for it from south to north, let's open every inch of land! Never miss any dead ends! Wang Liang was also beaten, he walked towards the southernmost courtyard wall with great interest, muttering in his mouth, digging three feet into the ground, he must find out the entrance to the underground warehouse.
Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and walked towards the northernmost courtyard wall, Wang Liang's suggestion is indeed the best search method so far, in the absence of instrument detection, only by searching separately can the suspicious target be found the fastest.
Don't have an instrument to probe? Lin Xiao was suddenly stunned, a flash of aura flashed in his head, but he couldn't catch it when he thought about it.
"Damn it! What the hell did I just think of?!" Lin Xiao frowned and thought about it, he was very sure that he had obviously thought of something just now, but what was it?
That's right! Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyebrows and laughed: "Omniscient artificial intelligence!" Come out for me! ”
"Master, is there anything you need help with?"
"Is the detection function still there?" Lin Xiao asked urgently.
"Of course!" The all-knowing AI's answer was concise and clear, with a hint of unhappiness caused by being questioned.
Nima? Isn't this omniscient artificial intelligence with human emotions? Lin Xiao was a little stunned, but he quickly put this situation behind him! What if omniscient AI had human emotions? Can it still think about destroying humanity? If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll die N times when I'm on the interstellar battlefield!
"Help me find out if there are any underground buildings around, and if so, find the entrance to the underground buildings!" Lin Xiao immediately asked.
