"Anyway, let's take him to the lab and observe." After the boss spoke, he turned around and walked to the experimental area with Liu Chang in his arms.

When he came to the laboratory, under the attention of Xiao Jing and Lei Laohu, he put Liu Chang on the experimental bed, then picked up the biological equipment there, and began to do a comprehensive examination of Liu Chang's body - the research institute was originally a place to study biotechnology, so this kind of equipment is very sufficient.

After a simple instrument analysis and fluoroscopy, the boss found the problem.

"Infected with parasites." As he spoke, the boss ripped off Liu Chang's shirt, exposed his belly, and knocked on it with his knuckles, making a ripe watermelon-like "collapse" sound inside, and then turned his head and said: "This belly is full of insects now." ”

"Isn't it, so disgusting?" Lei Laohu pouted after hearing this sentence with his ears sideways, "It's disgusting, is it a roundworm?" ”

"No, it looks like a mutated clematode." "They breed and grow very quickly, and they are very big. ”

"What is a nematode?" Hearing the boss's words, Xiao Jing, who had been showing a worried look, asked.

"It's just a parasite, well, the larvae live in water, and the adults like to reproduce in the water. Before the Second Age, nematodes generally parasitized insects such as cockroaches and crickets, and some parasitized humans, but rarely. The boss spoke, showing an interested look, "Clematodes were actually studied by many people in the previous society, because this parasite has a very interesting characteristic. ”

In order to explain Liu Chang's current situation to one big and one young, the boss had no choice but to popularize some basic parasite knowledge.

"The name of the wire worm should be related to its body shape, which is black and black, like a wire. But the reason why humans study it. It has nothing to do with his looks. This parasite rarely parasitized humans before, but the reason why humans are so interested in it is that after this insect parasitizes its host. can severely affect the behavior of the host. When the boss said this, he pointed to Liu Chang, who was lying in a coma on the bed.

"In general, animals are not suicidal. Insects, in particular, rarely or do not commit suicide at all. The boss said: "Suicide insects, this is not a natural behavior." Then some scientists saw some crickets and praying mantis jumping into the water to commit suicide, and then they found out that it was a nematode. ”

"Wireworms will affect the host's mental consciousness, and after they have reproduced in the host's body, they will induce the host to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water, and then they will break open the host's belly, or burrow out of the mouth and anus, and then let the larvae that reproduce get a safe environment to grow. It's an amazing thing. ”

"Because previous scientists have found that. Something like a nematode should have a very low IQ, but it has the property of influencing other people's behavior and even inducing living beings to find the source of water. It's simply incredible. And. So far, no one has studied it thoroughly. How does the wireworm, a low-level parasite, affect the thinking of another creature -- you know, whether humans or animals, the will to survive is deep in their genes -- and no creature will commit suicide for no reason. Therefore, to interfere with other people's suicidal behavior, this is simply against the whole law of nature, it is inconceivable. ”

"So, it's those black bugs that make Brother Liu Chang want to commit suicide?" Xiao Jing listened to the boss say such terrifying words, looked at Liu Chang's gradually bulging belly, and asked anxiously, "Is Liu Chang's brother in danger of life?" ”

"Don't worry, if this is a thunder tiger infection, it is possible to die, but Liu Chang will not die." Seeing the real anxiety on Xiao Jing's face, the boss explained quickly, "I said before that nematodes generally induce their hosts to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water, and the location of suicide should also be their habitat. As far as the means of killing the host is concerned, it is generally disemboweled. And Liu Chang can't die if he is disemboweled, so as long as he doesn't commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, it is impossible for us to die when we look at him. ”

"Wire worms? Can this thing rip my stomach open? I don't believe it! Lei Laohu heard that he might die after being infected, Lian Shan showed an unconvinced look, "Generally, strong people will not be infected with parasites, and besides, even if this thing is in my body, it can't break my stomach, and this little bug can't penetrate it, this little bug can drill through?" ”

"It should be about the same." The boss touched Liu Chang's stomach and said: "This mutated nematode should be the best variety of post-apocalyptic parasites - strong reproductive ability, strong adaptability, and extremely fast growth. It stands to reason that Liu Chang is such a strong human being, ordinary parasites can't enter his body at all, and even if they do, they should be wiped out by his muscle fibers or stomach acid or other body tissues, but now you see, they live happily in it. ”

"So what are you going to do? Do you want to take them all out? Hearing that this parasite was so strong, Lei Laohu's face, which was not afraid of heaven and earth, also showed an embarrassed look, "Hurry up and get it out, this thing is so disgusting, I feel a stomachache when I think of someone having a stomach full of bugs." ”

"If you go under the knife, go to the unclean." The boss said: "He has a lot of internal organs in his stomach, and after the nematode reproduces, some larvae are very small, only as thin as a hair, attached to a certain intestine, or stuck to the back of that organ, and it is not clear at all, and it will be very troublesome to peel off the cocoon and pull out the filaments one by one." ”

"What then?" Xiao Jing asked, "If you don't take them out, they will always be in Brother Liu Chang's body." ”

"No, the larvae of the nematodes need to survive in the water, which can be seen from Liu Chang's previous unconscious consciousness, he should go back to the habitat of these parasites, we will follow him, and then we don't need to do anything, these nematodes will all be clean and drill out by themselves." The boss said: "What we have to do is to make sure that this guy is not eaten by other creatures in the water, does not drown, and is not parasitized again." As for a big hole in the abdomen, I'll stitch it up for him when I go back, and if I don't stitch it, this guy will get better on his own. It's that this news must not be spread, if Li Qingshui knows that our main combat force is sick, he will run over. ”
