Chapter 255: Incubation Period

The leader of the rebel soldiers raised his gun and pointed it at Hou Wan, motioning for him to get out of the way.

In the rear of them, most of them, although they had already snatched their weapons back, did not confront the others with their guns, but gradually dispersed, in groups of three or five, choosing their allies and assuming a posture of never letting go of their weapons.

Faced with this situation, Sammy didn't know how to deal with it, he knew very well that if he was not careful at this time, he would go off the rails, and dozens of people would fight in the closed restaurant, and the outcome would not be better than the wood plague slaughter.

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys." Hou Wan stepped back and whispered these four words.

Chu Xia, Yin Wanmeng and Bao Junhao all understood what Hou Wan meant, but Wei Chiran was very puzzled, he didn't understand what this "kill" meant, did he really want to kill these five Indian soldiers?

Five-on-five, and at close range, when five rebel soldiers passed by Hou Wan and others, they suddenly attacked, and their success rate was very high.

When the leader of the rebel soldiers saw Hou Wan get out of the way, he didn't suspect it, but he took his men and slowly walked towards the outside of the restaurant, just when the five people walked into the encirclement set by Hou Wan, Hou Wan suddenly made a move, and punched the leader in the back and spine, and the man screamed and fell directly to the ground, and was crushed to the ground by Hou Wan.

Yin Wanmeng, Chu Xia and Bao Junhao also made an instant move and subdued the other three.

Although Wei Chiran had already made a move, he just pressed the soldier and the gun in his hand against the wall.

Hou Wan turned his head and saw that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted: "Early summer! ”

Early Summer snatched the gun from the hand of the soldier in front of him and put it directly on the head of the soldier in front of him.

The soldier had no choice but to lay down his arms.

Hou Wan and the others then forced the five rebel soldiers back to the corner of the restaurant. At the same time, the other Indian soldiers who were present to witness all this also looked at them with a strange gaze.

Everyone knows that Hou Wan and the others are not ordinary people, they are all highly trained agents of T country, and they stopped those five people from leaving, is it to seize the gun or is there some other purpose?

Hou Wan looked at the people around him, then beckoned, took the weapons that the others had taken, and then slowly walked up to Sammy, stacked all the weapons on the table, and then returned to his original position.

Sammy stood there with her gun in hand, nodded slightly, and glanced around again.

Afterwards, one of them put down the weapon in his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, the others also lined up to hand over the weapon they had snatched earlier.

After a chaotic and thrilling pass, Sammy also breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance towards Hou Wan.

Sami said: "Leave five people to help me carry the weapons back, and the rest will go back to their posts." ”

The five guards closest to Sami remained, and the others gradually dispersed, and the five who had rebelled before also helped each other out.

Sammy walked up to Hou Wan and said, "Thank you." ”

Hou Wan just said, "Hungry, do you have something to eat?" ”

Sammy said: "I go to the arsenal and I will tell the cook to cook, and the food is enough." ”

After Sammy left with the man and the weapon, the rest sat down and waited for the meal.

Hou Wan grabbed Wei Chiran and dragged him aside, and asked angrily, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Wei Chiran knew what Hou Wan meant, and explained: "I don't understand what you mean just now, whether you want to subdue them or kill them, so I hesitated. ”

Hou Wan frowned: "Aren't you very smart?" Even if you don't understand the order, you should know that you must first subdue the other party. ”

Wei Chiran said: "If I want to kill him, I will choose a more direct way, not just a uniform." ”

Hou Wan stared at Wei Chiran's eyes: "Your eyes are very cloudy now. ”

Wei shook his head slowly, he didn't understand what Hou Wan meant.

Hou Wandao: "I thought that after going through so many things, you would grow up a little, but now you are still a child." ”

Wei Chiran said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Hou Wandao: "No matter what kind of predicament you face, you must keep a sober and calm mind, even if you are not clear about my orders, you have to make your own judgment in an instant." ”

Wei Chi said, "I will." ”

Hou Wan just glared at Wei Chiran, turned around and sat down at the table.

Chu Xia and Yin Wanmeng both looked at Hou Wan with strange eyes, because Hou Wan's performance just now was very strange, no matter how big the crisis was in the past, no matter what kind of mistakes his subordinates made, Hou Wan had never been so excited, and he was not only excited before, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was out of shape.

Hou Wan said in a defensive manner: "There are two kinds of operators, tactical operators and strategic operators. Strategic operators are similar to think tanks and staff officers, considering the overall situation, strategizing, and winning decisive victories thousands of miles away, while tactical operators are fighting on the front line and must make accurate judgments in the face of all kinds of unexpected situations and unfavorable situations. ”

Bao Junhao also looked at Hou Wan, wondering what the point of him saying this at this moment?

As an outsider, he needs to absorb more information, and then, selectively, report this information to the upper echelons of the isolation faction as intelligence, after all, this is also one of his tasks.

Soon, the cook brought the food, and everyone began to devour it, and Wei Chiran also sat down again, and when he picked up the spoon, he said, "If the wood plague is not dead, if it is hiding in the head of one of us, then why did it do it?" ”

Hatsu said: "Yes, why, it stands to reason that it can kill us, and it's easy." ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "It's not necessarily easy, right? According to the infection pattern observed by Wei Chiran, it requires a certain process, not to infect other people in an instant, but to need the kind of black substance that flows out of its body. ”

Bao Junhao looked at everyone: "In other words, we were scaring ourselves from the beginning?" Is contact with wood plague or alienated animals not controlled by infection? ”

Wei Chi said: "It should be so, but the problem is still here, that kind of black substance can approach people silently and control them, but in addition to those who are parasitized by wood plague, the eyes of alienated people or animals will turn black, which is easy to distinguish, plus this facility is now closed, wood plague can only temporarily hide and hide in someone's body, just like the incubation period of the virus." ”

Wood plague is intelligent, it knows very well that in a closed facility, if he rashly appears, he will be broken into pieces, and then sealed into spruce logs, and it is very easy to distinguish between people or animals who are alienated by it, so the current situation can only be regarded as evenly matched.

Chu Xia analyzed again: "However, if the wood plague quietly releases that black substance and controls it one by one, we will definitely kill everyone who is alienated, it alienates one, we kill one, and in the end, our combat power is completely consumed by it in this way, and it will win in the end, it can't think of this, right?" ”

Wei Chiran recalled: "Moreover, when we were on Beisen Island, the wood plague controlled so many animals, and we didn't even hear the slightest animal chirp in the mountains and forests, since it can control hundreds of various animals, why not control dozens of people in this facility at once?" It's easy for him to do, you know, the Mori Kicker on the island is all controlled by him. ”

Hou Wan looked at the empty plate that had been eaten up in front of him: "Let's summarize the characteristics of the wood plague, firstly, this thing has intelligence, and secondly, the wood plague can parasitize and alienate, and the way of parasitism and alienation is through the black substance in its body." ”

Wei thought of it for a while: "No, the wood plague body is that black substance!" Tang Anshu said that the people in the ancient heretical ways could not know whether the wood plague was one or a group. ”

Hou Wan nodded: "Yes, the wood plague body should be that kind of black substance." ”

Chu Xia pondered: "The time of parasitism and alienation can be completed in a short time, the parasitic person is no different from the original, but the consciousness will be killed, but the physical body is still alive, and the most obvious feature of the alienated person is that the eyes are black." ”

Saying that, everyone subconsciously looked at the falcon, and now the biggest doubt was that after the wood plague parasitized in his body, why did he and Fang Xunyi's consciousness still exist? Why can he live? Could it be because he was instilled with Fang Xunyi's consciousness in his body?

Wei Chiran sat there and recalled all kinds of things on Beisen Island, compared the previous situation, and suddenly said: "The body of the wood plague is composed of that black substance, but the black substance is not endless, there is a certain amount, every time other animals or people are alienated, they have to split a part, we calculate the time, the wood plague was released from the spruce logs, and it did not control too many animals on the island at the beginning, is it because the number of black substances is not large, it needs time to reproduce?" ”

Hou Wandao: "It's possible, it means that wood plague is similar to a cell that can divide on its own?" As long as it is in the right environment, it can be continuously divided......"

Wei Chiran suddenly said: "There is one thing we have overlooked. ”

Everyone looked at Wei Chiran, and Wei Chiran said: "The wood plague can become our appearance, it can become the appearance of a human, so can it become the appearance of an animal?" ”

Hou Wan shook his head and said: "The record does not say that wood plague can transform into an animal, but only that it can become a human. ”

Wei Chi said: "Even if this is the case, we have to assume that it can become an animal. ”

Bao Junhao smiled: "Then it's completely over, the wood plague can turn into a mouse or a bird and leave directly, and when it turns the world upside down outside, we still trap ourselves here." ”

Wei Chi rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "We have to summarize the characteristics of that monster again." ”

A few minutes later, Wei Chiran and the others informed Colonel Sammy of the characteristics of the wood plague that they had summarized.

Colonel Sammy wrote down what they said in a notebookβ€”

1. Wood blast is not a single-celled animal, but has intelligence.

2. Wood plague has two abilities: parasitism and alienation, parasitism is the body of wood plague to find the host, enter its body, kill the host's consciousness, and control its body, but it is not easy to distinguish who is the host from the appearance, and the characteristic of the alienated person or animal is that the eyes will turn black.

3. Wood plague can detect the situation through the eyes or ears of alienated people or animals.

4. The body of wood plague is a black substance, parasitism and alienation rely on this black substance, and this black substance should be able to divide and reproduce on its own, can be a whole, or separate, so wood plague can explore the situation through the eyes and ears of alienated people or animals.

5. The black substance is limited, if a large amount of black matter is released at one time, only a little black substance of the wood plague body will remain, so it needs time to divide and reproduce.

The above is the characteristics of the wood plague, and it is also the reason why the wood plague has not alienated other humans to kill here.

Of course, there is also the sixth point, which is why the wood plague failed to kill the Saker and Fang Xunyi's consciousness after parasitic the Saker, which they can't tell Colonel Sammy.
