Chapter 396: Anti-Zombie Fungi Fungi

I really scared Jack. I didn't see such an obvious loophole. I turned my face to Jack, only to see Jack look even more stunned than I did.

"Can you explain?" I pointed to the fat man. "This is also the question I want to ask."

"I'm going to think about it. Sorry, I seem to have missed an important link, something is wrong with my train of thought. ”

I nodded silently. I'm also going to straighten out my thinking. Talking about the IQ of fat people all day long, today it's my turn, this IQ is really at the same level as Fan Wei.

"It's made up, it's hard to make it up, and I'll talk about it after it's made up." The fat man's mouth is unforgiving, how could he let go of a good opportunity to hit Jack.

"I refuse to answer this question."

Listening to Jack's serious answer, I almost burst out laughing. This Chinese is obviously failing.

The fat man is a master who never stops. Seeing that Jack ignored him, he winked at me again. As soon as I stabilized my mind and led my thoughts into a reasonable framework, I was disrupted by the fat man's frowning expression.

"What's the matter?" I asked dissatisfied.

The fat man gestured to the insect on the ground with his eyes, and said two words silently. 'Burn it. ’

"Why? If it's harmless we don't have to burn it, if it's harmful, like Jack said about a zombie fungus, then it doesn't make any sense for us to burn it, its spores have spread out long ago. Maybe keeping it can save our lives, it's like being bitten by a snake, knowing what snake it was bitten by, and we will get the antidote in the shortest time. ”

I didn't hide what I said, in fact, what I said was what I thought. Even if I burned it, I didn't think it was necessary to sneak in.

"Burning it might not be a bad idea." Jack rarely supported the fat man's idea.

"Then you can't burn it. You're obviously going to destroy the evidence. "Super Prick said something that would always be against the other party.

Jack immediately turned his face to me, his look of disgust unmistakable.

"I thought about it for a while, and my train of thought was disturbed by the emotions of the Hakka people. This strain of zombie fungus has the potential to do the opposite. I still start with the zombie ants in the Brazilian rainforest, the zombie fungus in the Brazilian rainforest is very reproductive, but it does not make the woodwood ants in the rainforest extinct, do you know why?

Amazingly, after a zombie fungus infects a wood ant, it attracts another fungus to infect itself. We call it 'anti-zombie fungal fungi'. This is a double parasite that is capable of parasitizing zombie fungi and destroying the spores of the vast majority of zombie fungi. And they are more combative, able to destroy the vast majority of zombie fungi, so that even if there is a large swarm of zombie ants around, the rest of the healthy ants will rarely become infected. ”

"But the strain in front of us is obviously growing out of the head of an insect, and it can't be what you call an 'anti-zombie fungus'."

I'm not happy with this explanation from Jack.

"Why can't it be. I said that the 'anti-zombie fungal fungus' is a double parasite. While it parasitizes zombie fungi, it also parasitizes the carpenter ant. It does not have the ability to control the thinking and behavior of carpenter ants, but it can do so with the help of zombie fungi. Zombie fungi kill the host when it reaches its destination, while 'anti-zombie fungi' achieve the same purpose by killing zombie fungi. ”

"Then it will still kill the host eventually, and on the outside it kills bugs, and here it goes. Wouldn't it be able to kill those big bats and long-tailed monsters? Of course, according to you. It does not have the ability to control and kill the host, and will wait for the zombie fungus to kill the host before seizing ultimate control of the host. Is that so? He's a cunning vampire. ”

"That's probably the case, but there's a key problem here, the 'anti-zombie fungal fungus' doesn't have the ability to control and kill the ultimate host, but it does have the ability to kill its other host. Zombie fungus. Do you notice anything odd in this? ”

My mind was still following Jack's train of thought, still digesting the information he gave, how could it be possible to find a deeper problem at once. Luckily, Jack was a question, and it seems he didn't expect me to answer.

"Monsters in underground caves don't die!"

After saying this, Jack's blinding blue eyes sparkled at me.

Damn it. How could I think those eyes were charming, did I have Gay potential? As soon as this idea came out, I couldn't help but chill a little.

Jack had no intention of going on, just stared straight at me, waiting for me to understand what he meant and give him a response.

But the information he gave me was so chaotic that there were some things I had never heard of, and it was difficult to sort out the clues in a short time. But one word he keeps mentioning should be the crux of the problem, zombie fungus.

My mind lit up. Blurt out. "There are no zombie fungi in the underground caves, and these zombie-resistant fungi and fungi will not threaten the ecological balance of the underground caves. Isn't it? ”

"If there are no zombie fungi in the underground caves, what about the big bats and long-tailed monsters? They are mutated from the Hakka people, and let's assume that this premise is true. ”

When he said this, Jack had no expression on his face and no body movements. But I felt that his face was not so gloomy, and he seemed to be a little excited.

"If there's zombie fungi here, and they're so powerful that they have an amazing level of control over living things, that is, they can control human behavior, then why aren't we infected? It's not the first time we've come down, we've been down once, and nothing happened for a long time. Do we have antibodies in us?

Also, where are they. If this underground cavern is home to zombie fungi that have been there for thousands of years, there should be a lot of them. Even if not everywhere, at least we should be able to spot them, after all, we have been trapped in an underground cavern for a while, and we have reached the end of the underground river source. If the opposite side of the embankment is the end point. ”

"My judgment is that the zombie fungus here is selective about its host. And it's harsh. Because it is not us who often enter the underground cave and stay in the underground cave for a longer time, it is the Hakka people. Their people are also not easily infected by zombie fungi. The only ones infected by the zombie fungus are what they call the awakened, and they are old and infirm.

You should feel that Luo Lao's physical and mental condition is already a dying person in our opinion, but the Hakka people still think that he will not have the time for the second mutation. Tang Yumo said that he is not yet the time for the second mutation, do you remember? ”

Of course I remember, and I disdained it. But that didn't convince me, because there were still holes in his words.

"It's not a judgment, it's just a guess. Give me some evidence to convince me, zombie fungus, where is it? ”

"You've seen it, don't you remember?" (To be continued......)
