Chapter Twenty-Three: The Host Who Was Finally Abandoned
"Yiting, what happens if a person is infected with a bio gun? How much of its behavior will be controlled by the bio gun? β
After being in the same room for a few days, the original embarrassment had long disappeared, and Li Jin did not do anything out of the ordinary, but because of Li Jin's care for himself in the earthquake, Liu Yiting felt that he would be safe with him, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
"I don't know how much of an impact the biogun has on the host's brain. One thing is certain, however, that it (the bio-gun) has some control over the host's behavior. An example of this is when we were in the Stone Lands, where the Medium Carnivorous Tooth did not attack us, because the Bio Gun forbade them to attack us in their own spawning grounds, not to protect us, but to protect its own eggs. As long as the animals that enter the 'rocky field', whether they are carnivorous or herbivorous, they will be very restrained, which indicates that some of their brain mechanisms are controlled, like half a puppet. Liu Yiting replied while operating the computer.
"If it's a person who is infected, I guess it's the same. Many reactions to the outside world are controlled by the Bio Gun. Liu Yiting looked sideways at Li Jin.
Li Jin remembered that the biological gun eggs in the "rocky land" reacted to him, and his scalp was a little numb. At this time, Liu Yiting's computer showed that the robot dog No. 1 had abnormal information. Liu Yiting immediately clicked to view, and the picture displayed on the display screen surprised her. Li Jin also walked behind Liu Yiting.
In the picture, a large herbivore is being devoured by several large carnivorous beasts. After a full meal, the large carnivorous beasts go to rest in the shade, and at this time, strange birds begin to gather and peck at the remains, and these strange birds are the kind that have been accompanying the large herbivores for the past few days.
Liu Yiting played back the previous recorded information, and everything was normal in the last few days, and the strange bird had been following the herbivore. Just today, the large herbivores began to behave a little erratically, moving slowly and as if they were tired. The strange bird had also changed, and it would make a strange call from time to time. After that, the large carnivorous tooth appeared, hunting the herbivore with precision, and the large herbivore did not use a biological gun throughout the hunt. This is very similar to the picture that Liu Yiting recorded with a robot dog by the river.
"What the hell went wrong?" She muttered to herself,
"Here, play back, zoom in, look at its third eye." Li Jin said behind her. Liu Yiting operated the computer under Li Jin's prompt,
"I see, that's the way it is... Professor Cheng. Liu Yiting connected Professor Cheng's communication message,
"What's the matter?" Professor Cheng appeared on the three-dimensional holographic display screen.
"Professor Cheng, I have something for you to see." Liu Yiting sent the video message. "This is the track record of Robot Dog No. 1 in the past few days."

"The large herbivores were hunted without using bioguns to protect themselves, which is very similar to the information we collected earlier." Professor Cheng said.
"Yes."
"Looks like you've found the answer." Professor Cheng looked at Liu Yiting.
"Yes, Professor Cheng, please look hereγγγγγγ After the large herbivore laid its eggs in the rocky land, a strange bird followed it, and I thought it was very familiar, so I instructed Robot Dog 1 to follow it. Everything was fine at first, and the wounds of the large herbivore slowly healed, but the strange bird never left. Just yesterday, you see, the color of the Big Herbivorous Beast's bio gun has changed, and it is slowly getting darker. Today it turned dark red, and apparently, the bio gun was dead. β
"You're saying the herbivore was dead before it was hunted?"
"Yes, after the death of the Biogun, the strange bird began to chirp, and this kind of chirping was very special, it was clear that it was summoning a large carnivorous beast. The Carnivorous Tooth appears and successfully hunts the Large Herbivor, which is impossible to use due to the fact that the Herbivorous Beast's Bio Gun is dead. And its reaction speed is also much slower, and it looks very tired. I think it's because its biogun is long dead, and it no longer repairs damaged brain systems for its host. After the herbivore was hunted, the strange bird also got its own piece of the pie. "The last image on the display screen is the picture of a strange bird pecking at the remains of a herbivore.
"Conclusion." Professor Cheng wanted to know the final answer.
"The conclusion is that when the host lays eggs for the parasite (biogun), the host is ruthlessly abandoned." Liu Yiting came to a final conclusion.
Professor Cheng nodded, very much in agreement.
"You've found the answer brilliantly again, and I'm satisfied." Professor Cheng paused and said, "Whether it is the earth or here, the competition for survival itself is cruel. Now that the answer has been found, let's recover Robot Dog 1 as soon as possible. Complete. β
"Yes, Professor Cheng." Liu Yiting cut off the communication.
