Although the steamed bun was not updated yesterday, the number of words in this chapter is almost two chapters, nearly six thousand. The reason why I want to synthesize a chapter is because I feel that it is time to give the brain-eating worm incident an end, and if it is separated, the content is relatively thin, so simply end a chapter.

In fact, the steamed bun feels that the brain-eating worm incident can be regarded as a side story. It can also be seen from this part that the danger is not necessarily the powerful mutant beast, this fat little bug may be more terrifying than the big guy like the toothed beast.

Also, look at my chapter, and pay attention to the last Ps

Enter the dividing line of the body

Yu Qi's voice came from the communicator......

"How's it going for you there?"

Zhu Hong glanced at the brain-eating worm, whose attack frequency had decreased significantly, and said, "The situation has basically stabilized, and if nothing else, the culprit of this incident should be cleared up soon." ”

"Oh~" Yu Qi was pleasantly surprised: "You guys are almost solved?" I didn't report it for so long and thought there was an accident, it seems that I was worried in vain. What is causing it? Yu Qi is also very curious about the mysterious culprit of the hospital death.

"It's a brain-eating parasite, a bug we've never seen before, and we're tentatively named a brain-eating worm."

"Parasites? I think I would have been able to check it out at the hospital, but why didn't I find it before? ”

"Their incubation period is very hidden, and even we only found out after they killed someone."

Hearing Zhu Hong's answer, Yu Qi was dumbfounded, he knew the strength of Zhu Hong and Li Gang, they were definitely top existences in the two fields of energy and spirit, even these two people couldn't be easily discovered, others could imagine. And will the hospital's equipment be more effective than Zhu Hong's mental strength? Apparently not.

"So, you're trying to catch a few live samples while it's safe, it's weird, and if you can study them, you'll have a way to deal with them if it happens again. But if you don't want to, safety is the most important thing. ”

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Hong replied.

"One more thing. The energy monitoring system of the State Administration Bureau found that the hospital has a very high energy response, is it your fault? ”

"It's Li Gang who is using Yuan Force to attract brain-eating worms, and it's by virtue of this that we have a chance to destroy them."

“…… Is this energy response his own? ”

"Yes."

"But there was a weaker energy reaction before, which you also made?"

"Well, he has a high-energy hedron."

"Okay, I see. Be careful, I'll go and explain to you, and wait for your good news. ”

"Don't worry, as long as someone isn't nervous." Zhu Hong said and glanced at Li Gang.

Yu Qi was noncommittal and cut off communication.

Yu Qi didn't ask about the spar, but he knew that the so-called high-energy spar was definitely very valuable, and this could be the beginning of a new energy source, and perhaps with it, many R&D problems due to energy system limitations would no longer be a problem. But now is not the time to ask, wait for them to come back, they can't run anyway. And there are a bunch of bigwigs waiting for him to report on the progress of the hospital incident.

Li Gang's release of Yuan Force not only attracted the Brain Eater Worm, but also attracted the attention of many other people in Mingquan City.

When the energy monitoring system of the State Administration Bureau first discovered that such a high energy response suddenly appeared in the city, it thought that it was a powerful mutant beast invasion, and almost sounded the alarm. After all, an energy reaction of such intensity and duration should be emitted by a large mutant beast of the size of the toothed beast that once ravaged Mingquan, and even if the executor can release the energy of this intensity, it is only a flash in the pan when releasing a powerful skill, and it is unlikely that it will continue to be released like this. Fortunately, it was found that the location was the hospital where the executor was on a mission, and it was not the alarm that was caused by the fact that the executor did not know what he was doing. Of course, then I asked Yu Qi about this.

Not only did the energy monitoring of the State Department of State detect this obvious high energy response, but many forces in Mingquan City, as well as evolutionaries who have a certain strength or are good at Yuan Force perception, have also felt this Yuan Force aura like a beacon. Many people have even quietly come to the vicinity of the hospital to find out. It's just that in the face of a heavily guarded hospital, it's hard to find out.

As time passed, the brain-eating insects attracted to the roof by Yuan Li became scarce, and by five o'clock in the morning, when the sky was about to dawn, the tofu flowers that couldn't wait for the delicious insects had been bored and began to gnaw on their feet.

Looking at the white sky, Li Gang said, "It's almost, I haven't seen any trace of the fat insect for an hour." ”

"Well, hopefully these are the last few." Zhu Hong looked at the bottle in his hand and said. There were four white fat meat worms in the bottle, which were brain eaters. After talking to Yu Qi, he asked Wu Baosheng to go and find a large glass bottle. I don't know where he got the glass bottle, but it looks like it was used to soak specimens, and I hope he didn't dump anything important at the hospital. And due to the influence of the rich Yuan Force released by Li Gang, the Brain Eater Worm was basically in a state of "blindness", and only identified him as a target, so the process of Wu Baosheng leaving the Yuan Force Defense to find the bottle was relatively safe. It's just that if they get too close to the brain-eating worm, or just collide with it, they probably won't mind adding a meal. Otherwise, Li Gang would not have been supporting Yuanli to defend himself, just to prevent accidents.

When Wu Baosheng went to get the bottle, there were already fewer brain-eating worms, and with his own reaction and speed, as long as he was a little careful to avoid the brain-eating worms that were not in his mind, it was still very easy.

After taking the bottle, I grabbed four brain-eating worms as samples, otherwise they would be eaten up by the tofu flowers.

Up to this point, there had been no brain-eating worms attracted for an hour, and it seemed that they had all been eliminated. And the sky is getting brighter, even if there are still a few brain eaters that have not been eliminated, it is time to lurk at this moment. However, it is doubtful that there is a brain eater worm that can resist the temptation of the Yuan Force released by Li Gang and continue to lurk.

Li Gang stopped releasing the Yuan Force and lifted the Yuan Force defense, and the continuous high-intensity Yuan Force release made him a little tired. Stretching his waist, he brought the tofu trick back to his side, "It's breakfast time." "Take Lori and go to the staircase.

"Can you eat it?" The corners of Zhu Hong's mouth twitched, and he asked.

"Why not?" Li Gang asked rhetorically with a strange expression.

"Don't you feel sick when you watch it eat bugs all night?" As he spoke, Zhu Hong glanced at the tofu flower next to Li Gang who was licking his fingers, and he felt the urge to vomit just by looking at it. Admire the tofu flower "let's chirp" and eat the brain-eating worm all night, and as soon as I close my eyes, I seem to be able to see the fat worm with white flowers in my mouth writhing. I believe that there will be no appetite for a short period of time, which is a rhythm that will leave a psychological shadow.

Li Gang said with an indifferent look: "What's disgusting, it's it that eats it, not me, and it's not my turn to be disgusting." Besides, why don't you just eat a few bugs? It's not that I haven't eaten it. I think back then, I didn't eat any weird stuff. I remember that when I was young, I lived in my grandmother's house (my adoptive mother's mother) in the countryside for a while, and I think it was quite fun at that time. I have touched bird eggs in the trees, caught frogs in the river, surrounded rabbits in the fields, picked up mushrooms in the grass... Well, frog meat tastes a lot like chicken, so I especially liked summer at that time. A variety of wild food can satisfy the appetite of any picky friend. Birds, rabbits, mushrooms, and frogs are all more conventional. There are also many special snacks, such as elm leaves that are just grown in spring, which are sticky to eat. During spring and summer, the grass bud is a kind of grass bud, although it does not taste special, but the aroma of the grass is still good. There are more things to eat in summer, in addition to frogs and snakes, lazy snakes are easy to catch, and if you can't finish eating, you can sell them to earn some pocket money to buy popsicles. It is a small beetle, a pest in the peanut field, but it is still very fragrant when fried, and it tastes fragrant and crispy like eating peanuts. However, they look a bit like cockroaches, and they are probably distant relatives, so eating them can be regarded as an indirect contribution to the elimination of cockroaches. The autumn recipe is also very rich, the roasted grasshopper is delicious, and then the roasted bean worm is my favorite. Not to mention, bean worms look a bit similar to brain eaters, they are both fat and garden, and after being cooked in the fire, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an egg smell. Caterpillar eggs are also good, but unfortunately they are too difficult to find, there is not enough for a plate every time, and it is troublesome to peel the shell. By the way, there is one that can't be left unmentioned, roasted sweet potatoes with cow dung. Let me tell you a secret, the sweet potatoes dug up from other people's fields are particularly delicious, and after digging up the sweet potatoes, pick up some dried cow in the field, and then you can roast it. Because cow dung burns slowly, a bit like charcoal, the roasted sweet potatoes are cooked evenly, and they will not be scorched on the outside and raw on the inside. The taste is a little special, and it is memorable! It's a pity that when I reached the age of going to school, I was arrested and returned to the city, and the relaxed rural life is gone. You have to spend money to buy snacks, and the city ......."

In the end, Li Gang looked at the rising red sun on the horizon with a longing face, as if he had returned to the beautiful childhood when he ate snacks and didn't spend money.

"Vomit ......"

"Vomit ......"

"Vomit ......"

Zhu Hong, Wu Baosheng, and Lin Ning's stomach, which was already struggling at the limit, finally collapsed, and their faces turned green when they vomited acid water.

"Eat bugs..."

"Fried cockroaches..."

"Cow... Vomit..."

How tragic was this guy's childhood? Everyone now understands a little bit why his personality is so bad, and it is strange that he has eaten so many strange things. I can't imagine how I could eat those things. By the way, is it also for this reason that the phantom demon that can subdue everything can be subdued? Foodie resonance or something?

"Oh, what are you doing here, your intestines are spitting out. Look at how many fat worms this foodie has eaten, and he is disgusted like this? Your nerves are too fragile to despise you, hahahahahaha. Li Gang patted the inexplicable tofu flower and said.

"It wasn't that disgusting, but now you're disgusting." Everyone slandered. can only slander, because he can't say a word at all, and he wants to vomit when he opens his mouth. Li Gang, this guy did it on purpose, it must be on purpose! What I just said is fake, it must be fake, it's still disgusting......

Li Gang left the roof with the green-faced Zhu Hong and the other three people refreshed, and the murder incident in the Brain Eater Hospital came to an end.

However, the lockdown of hospitals has not been lifted.

Samples of the brain-eating worms were received early in the morning and taken to the State Bureau for study, while the four executors were ordered to stay in the hospital and observe with the survivors.

After some counting, 217 people died in the hospital overnight, most of these people were hosts who had been parasitized by the brain-eating worm before, and a small number were parasitized and killed again that night. The reason why it was killed by parasitism seemed to be because the brain-eating worm was attracted by Li Gangyuan's force and directly skipped the incubation period of one day.

The number 217 still has the big bait of Li Gang, which attracts the attention of all the braineaters to avoid their parasitism again. Some of the few newly parasitic people were parasitized before Li Gang released Yuan Li as bait, and some of them collided with the brain eater in the chaos. If it weren't for Li Gang, a powerful source of Yuan Force release, the number of people who died in one night might not be more than 217, or even less than that, but I'm afraid that more than ninety percent of the people in the hospital would be parasitized, and they would basically be wiped out in another day.

Because they don't know anything about brain-eating insects at all, even Li Gang and Zhu Hong can't find brain-eating insects in the incubation period, so it's impossible to talk about saving people who are parasitized. Even if the parasite is really identified, how can the brain-eating worm be removed? If you have surgery, are you sure that the bugs will be very cooperative and motionless during surgery? For those unfortunate victims, only sympathy can be expressed.

Although the executors are powerful, they are not gods, and it is already a miracle that they can find out the truth and eliminate the culprit in a short time.

In addition, none of the nurses in the dispatch room were spared. Lin Ning's sixth sense really saved his life, he felt that it was unsafe to stay there and join Li Gang and the others without authorization, as a result, not long after he left, a nurse in the dispatch room collapsed, and several other people were at a loss when they were attacked and parasitized by the newly added brain-eating worms. This is also the reason why the alarm never went off at all.

Hearing this, Lin Ning was both scared and guilty. It's just that although he felt the danger at the time, it was impossible for him to know that someone among the nurses was parasitized, let alone who it was. And he is not Li Gang, and his own ability is limited, so even if he didn't leave at that time, staying is nothing more than one more corpse.

To make sure the brain-eating worms were indeed cleaned up, the hospital continued to quarantine for another week. During this period, in addition to his daily cultivation, Li Gang would release his Yuan Force every midnight for two hours. This is also done to ensure that the braineaters have indeed been eradicated.

During this time, the results of the study of the samples of the brain eaters that were sent away were available. It has been confirmed that this is a newly discovered mutant parasite, and the name will not be changed, and it will be directly named after the tentative "brain eater" by Li Gang and others.

Animal experiments on samples have shown that brain-eating insects can enter the brain through the ear and nose. Once in the brain, it ceases to lay eggs, and releases toxins that paralyze the host's nerves and make the host undetectable. The incubation period is highly concealed, the activity stops and enters a state of suspended animation, and its body material is similar to the brain, which is basically impossible to detect through the instrument. After about 24 hours, the eggs hatch and eat the brains and begin to grow. When the brain is gnawed away, the bug is almost mature, and then it will leave the useless host in search of a new target.

Braineaters have a variety of sensory systems, including elemental force perception, mental force perception, thermal energy perception, and sound wave perception. However, it mainly relies on the perception of the yuan force to lock the target, with the yuan force as the first priority, and if there is no yuan force, it depends on spirit, heat energy, and sound waves in turn. Experiments have found that the strong yuan force can stimulate the brain-eating worm to end the incubation period early and stimulate the hatching of the eggs. Brain-eating eggs, which would otherwise take a day or so to hatch, can hatch in a matter of minutes.

Brain eaters have a body the size of a finger, but their bodies are extremely flexible, and dozens of slender tentacles provide them with super speed, allowing them to pounce on other creatures and burrow into their brains with a single leap. Due to the speed of the brain eater and its ability to paralyze nerves, the parasite is often unaware of it, and usually only feels an itch in the ear or nose. After parasitizing on a new host, the braineater will repeat the process of laying eggs, dormant, and multiplying the brain. In addition, the brain-eating worm has a certain group consciousness, usually with dozens of them produced by one host as a unit, and can reasonably choose the target when leaving the old host, so as not to run all of them to one host. Because one host is enough. Of course, it would be another matter to use powerful Yuan Force to disrupt their senses like Li Gang, because the cluster consciousness of the Brain Eater was actually very low-level and simple.

In addition, although there is no way to treat the parasitic person, the brain eater is not without defects, and the reason why it causes so much harm in the hospital is because of the special environment of the hospital.

Once the brain eater is separated from the host, it is very weak to survive in the exposed environment, and will die if it does not find a new host for more than an hour. In the wild, animals are scattered, and it is impossible for brain-eating insects to reproduce on a large scale, so they win by quantity. Parasitic one host can multiply dozens of new braineaters, and the braineaters that break away from the host scatter in all directions in search of new hosts under the swarm consciousness. Usually one or two out of dozens will find a new host, and the others will die on the way to find a host, and sometimes even wipe out entirely. And even if the host is found, it may not be able to successfully complete the parasitism, because the mutant beasts in the wild have a very high alertness, they either have a keen sense of smell, or have an abnormal perception, and the more acute beast instinct can more accurately detect the danger approaching, so it is likely to detect and eliminate the brain eater before it parasitizes. If mutant beasts were as vigilant as humans in the wild, they would have been reduced to food for other mutant beasts. Combining these factors, the brain-eating insects cannot spread on a large scale in the wild, and can only basically maintain the continuation of the race.

And in a densely populated and low-alert place like a hospital, it becomes a ranch for brain-eating insects. There are many and dense hosts, and there is basically no ability to resist, for the Brain Eater Worm is simply entering the Heavenly Restaurant, almost every Brain Eater can find a new host, which has led to the explosive growth of their numbers.

Knowing the habits of the brain-eating worm, there are quick clues to its way into the hospital, and the first person who died with ear and nose bleeding is the carrier. A hunter who returned from the wild came to the hospital for treatment because he was seriously injured by a mutant beast. Then, the brain-eating worm began to spread in the hospital.

Because of this brain-eating worm incident, the high-level leaders of Mingquan City held a special meeting. The content of the meeting is to establish a "buffer zone" outside the entrances of Mingquan City, and go out of the city at will, but those who want to enter Mingquan City will not only need to be more closely checked, but must also stay in the buffer zone for a day to prevent dangerous mutated creatures or viruses such as brain-eating insects from entering the city. In this way, even if there is an accident, the damage will be minimized. Of course, there is no need to wait for certain privileged people or those who have been granted special access permission.

In this way, the practice of creating a buffer zone soon spread to other cities in the defensive circle. Over time, the buffer zone has grown from a mere vacant lot outside the city to a miniature town with a permanent population, including taverns, restaurants, hospitals, and even hunters' homes. And because the buffer zone is not regulated, and most of the people who stay there are hunters, it is very chaotic, and all kinds of entertainment and black market trading industries are very developed, and even the slave trade is very open. Many wanted criminals have used it as a refuge, adding chaos to the chaos and becoming a dark place where fish and dragons are mixed. And the cancer in the city has also found a place to stay, and it seems that it has all flowed here, but the defense circle city itself has become more orderly and clean, in stark contrast to the miniature towns in the buffer zone, which are white and black.

One of the characteristics of the defense circle city, the chaotic satellite city, appeared.

Well, that's a later story, now it's just the establishment of the buffer zone, and even these bigwigs who made the decision to build a buffer zone for their own lives didn't expect the buffer zone to develop like that in the future.

At the end of the week-long quarantine observation, the survivors in the hospital can finally leave this terrible place, and it is estimated that many will never want to enter the hospital again in their lives.

Li Gang and others were finally liberated, and they didn't have to smell the smell of disinfectant here every day. As for the rest of the finishing work, it will be handed over to other departments, and with so many people dead, it may not be easy to fool the masses, so let them have a headache.

Xiaowei's summer camp has ended, Li Gang went home but didn't see her, and listened to his adoptive mother Zhang Qing say that it seemed that she had been stimulated by some kind of training. Running to school every day, there is a place for her to train.

"But you can't worry about me a little, I haven't been home for more than a week!" Li Gang said sadly.

"Aren't you often absent?" Zhang Qing asked rhetorically as a matter of course.

"It seems to be..."

"Your life is stronger than cockroaches, and you are very generous as a mother." Zhang Qing kindly added.

“…… This sentence is redundant. ”

PS: Those strange things introduced by Li Gang are available in the steamed bread hometown, and the steamed bread was indeed eaten when I was a child, except for one or two. Like "Babble", in fact, it is named because of their call, and the specific scientific name of steamed buns is not clear, there are a lot of them in the field in summer, but they still can't be eaten when they are put on the table, they really look like cockroaches. Steamed buns' dad loves to eat. I've basically eaten everything else, and I've also eaten roasted sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes) with cow dung. Actually, it's not dirty, because it has to be peeled. And there's no such thing as a high-end dish in Italy, which is so expensive!
