Go back to the roots

In a few moments, I was in the only library in the Fearless faction. The library was not distinctive at all, but rather like a warehouse, small and old, with only two elderly librarians with some disabilities in their legs and feet taking care of the borrowing and borrowing of books, and the few people who read books in the library were pitiful.

I browsed through the few or so columns of books in the library, many of which were covered in thick dust, but fortunately, they were not bitten by bookworms and were still lying intact on the shelves. These books exude a unique smell of old books, which is very intriguing! Maybe others hate the smell, but I'm drawn to the bookish smell of this old book.

I found a few books that might be related, such as "Special Firearms", "The Wonderful Use of Insects", "The Precise Energy of Insects", etc., and sat down in a window seat and read carefully. I looked left and right, and most of these books were about some of the peculiarities of firearms, or some of the ways of using insects, but they didn't talk about the two together.

I picked up the book "The Precise Energy of Bugs" again, flipped through it, and was quickly drawn to the bold descriptions and conjectures that read between the lines.

The book describes it this way:

"Late Homo sapiens, also known as Homo sapiens, appeared 40,000 years ago, and its physical form was not much different from that of modern humans······ Since then, there have been some hieroglyphic accounts of new people beginning to hunt with bugs made into darts-like weapons. Although they already knew that insects were lethal, they only used poisonous insects at random, but they didn't know how to use them systematically. ······"

"1,200 years ago, our ancestors discovered and studied nine of the most poisonous bugs in the world.

Ninth place: Golden Ring Vespa.

The golden-ringed wasp is the largest wasp in China, with a body length of 50 mm and a venom needle length of 6.25 mm, which is a dangerous bee species. Like to nibble on ripe fruits, often attack bee colonies, and generally a one-time extermination, more than 30 golden-ringed wasps can kill 30,000 bees in 2 hours, resulting in no honey harvest. Without the use of drugs, the mortality rate from a wasp sting is almost 100%.

Eighth place: bark scorpion.

The bark scorpion is located in Mexico, with a body length of about 70mm, shaped like a lute, and its armor is translucent, hiding under bark and stakes during the day, and is active at night, and loves to eat small and medium-sized insects such as crickets, cockroaches, and spiders. His tail stinger is considered deadly and life-threatening.

Seventh place: Fire Red Ants.

Located in Brazil, the fire ant is about 5 mm long, causing a billion dollars in losses to South America every year, and will bite about 33,000 people every year, about 2% of which will go into shock due to the fire red ant bite. After being bitten by the fire red ant, there will be a fire-like pain, and a pustule will be produced in 4 hours to 24 hours after being bitten, if you are not allergic and ignore it, the pustule will disappear on its own within 3-10 days, but if you scratch it with your hands, it will cause a second infection.

Sixth place: bullet ants.

Located in the rainforests of the Amazon River, the bullet ant can reach a length of 30 mm, about 100 times larger than the average ant, and can prey on all insects and frogs except for the giant beetle and the small insects that he cannot bite. Bullet ants secrete a toxin that bites them as if they were being shot by a bullet, and then the pain spreads, leaving them unable to move for 24 hours. If you get bitten too much, your life may be gone.

5th place: mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are distributed all over the world, and mosquito bites are generally itchy, but the ability of mosquitoes to transmit diseases cannot be underestimated.

4th place: horseflies.

The horse fly lives in the wild and looks like a bee, feeds on blood, lays eggs on the horse's body, and is a parasite.

3rd place: Kissing bugs.

The kissworm is located in South America, about 30mm in length, is a blood-sucking bug, inhales 10 ml of blood at a time, and then excretes the excrement into the wound (note: the excrement of the kissing worm has Chagos virus), if not treated in time, it will die, and 15,000 people die from the kissing worm every year.

2nd place: Black Widow Spider.

The black widow spider has an hourglass-shaped red pattern on its abdomen and is about 50 mm long. His venom is 15 times that of a steppe cobra, but he has a mortality rate of 5% because only a little venom is injected after being bitten once.

1st place: Sydney Funnel Spider.

Located in Australia, the Sydney funnel spider is 80mm long and has 13mm fangs, and is the only insect with a 100% lethality rate, killing an adult in less than an hour with a single sting. The more famous venomous spiders are the black widow spider and the hermit spider in the United States, and the tramp spider on the Pacific coast in the northwest, but none of these spiders are more poisonous than the Sydney funnel web spider. The effects of the super-virulence can be felt within minutes of being stung by a Sydney funnel spider, whose venom spreads rapidly, creating spasmodic paralysis. The patient will have muscle cramps, sometimes extremely violently, and eventually the patient will fall into a coma. The toxin will attack the respiratory center and the patient will eventually suffocate to death. ”

"These nine deadly insects have been proven, but a legendary species known as the Mongolian Death Bug has driven many biologists who specialize in mysterious species crazy, and they spend their lives searching for traces of this insect in the vast desert. It is recorded that this creature is blood-red and can spit out acidic substances. Although Mongolian nomads have reported its existence for centuries, there is no real evidence to prove the creature authenticity. ······"

"We will make and grasp the top of the tempting food, and attract this dead worm, known as the Mongolian sandworm, to burrow out of the ground and float to the surface to feed. I firmly believe that in the near future, the Mongolian sandworm will be revealed to the world and used by us. ······"

"We will continue to improve the process of the insect bullet made three hundred years ago, combined with the excellent lethality of the nine major insects, and apply it to the body of the death insect in the right time, so that it can not only improve its strengths and avoid weaknesses in performance, but also expand its lethality at a double rate, and we also envision a perfect and superior time chain, which can change everything from its origin, adapt to our needs, and change the operating time and direction according to our needs at all times, I expect that the idea of creating a perfect insect bullet in the near future will not be a myth, It's going to be just around the corner. ······"

I closed the book with a shudder, and with a terrifying, creepy feeling of horror, I had no doubt that the author of the book possessed and hid the creature monster.

I thought that the author of this book, Hachisung, was the ruthless and cruel General Xia Zuo, but what I didn't expect was that when I opened the front page, a man and a woman I never knew looked like stood gracefully on the prominent title page of the book. I took a closer look, and his biography reads: Blue Devil (male) (2970, 7—), formerly known as Alexander Wilbur, was born in a family that loves to read, and has been trying to create since he was a child, and has published works such as "The Temptation of Thrift", "Transparent Little Radish", "Spoof Explosion", etc., covering a wide range of books, especially the book "The Precise Energy of Bugs", which is sought after by quite a lot of readers. Deeply influenced by magical realism beyond the universe, his works focus on expressing delicate and unique life experiences, constructing imaginary subjective sensory worlds, imaginative depictions and narratives, and conjuring up strange brushstrokes in the well-known environment, thus shaping a mysterious and unpredictable object world, with obvious "avant-garde" colors. Although he is only 23 years old, he never changes his style with passionate sophistication, colorful pictures, unbridled language, and exaggerated and absurd emotions······

I looked at the black-and-white photograph of the man sitting upright on the title page, and the doubts in my heart jumped through my brain one after another. He conceived and wrote this book when he was 23 years old, and now I estimate that he is 45 years old based on his resume written in the book, so it has been 22 years since he wrote this book at the age of 23. In the course of these long years, he must have succeeded in developing a new and improved version of the insect bomb, but he did not make it public, but kept it private, why is this?
