Chapter 0430: Parasitic Fungi

With the effect of [Wall Digging], a portal appears on the wall.

Eryi, who came out of it, looked at the widened trench, thought about it, and then released a [stone wall technique] at his feet, and a flat stone slab extended from the rock wall and landed on the opposite bank...... Who says that the "wall" must be erect?

The fat tigers who came out with him looked at this magical everything in amazement, and Eryi's "golden thigh" ability was too convenient, right?

Looking at the corpses of zombie animals strewn all over the square of the port, Eryi turned his head and ordered the four members of the treasure hunting group on duty, asking them to wake up the resting members, and then clean up the corpses and mountains of bullet casings in the square.

Now these members of the treasure hunting group, looking at the eyes of Eryi, the "wizard of the East", are almost like looking at God.

Hearing his command, he nodded respectfully, and two of the members of the treasure hunting group hurriedly went to call someone, while two security team members followed behind Er Yi with guns in hand, looking like they were accompanying him to protect him.

This is not what the second one demanded, but their spontaneous action.

After all, if it weren't for Eryi's magical methods last night, maybe none of them would have been able to hold out until dawn.

Just those zombie scorpions and zombie centipedes that are like a tide may be enough to kill all of them.

They can't fight and die, they can't prevent it, just thinking of a bunch of such things rushing over and drowning themselves in it, they can't help but feel a tingling of their scalps.

So at this time, it doesn't matter who has an accident, only the "Oriental Wizard" of Eryi can't have an accident!

Assuming that the three exploration ships that set sail today still do not return, then they will have to rely on the "Oriental Witchcraft" of Eryi to persist through tonight.

Two One squatted down in front of the corpse of the half-zombie animal, poked the dagger and poked half of the thigh, and the limbs that were still twitching and moving were cut open to examine its interior.

It turned out that the muscles of the zombie animal were filled with a large amount of white material like silk wool, and after being cut off by the tip of the knife, it could still wave its teeth and claws in the air like an octopus tentacle, and climb up along the blade, as if it wanted to parasitize on the hands of the second one.

"What the hell is this?"

Seeing Eryi dissecting zombies, Shu Meizi and Wei Ji turned a blind eye, but Fat Tiger couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp, and said disgustingly: "Corpse worms?"

"It's not!"

Eryi snapped his fingers, and a small flame appeared on his fingertips like a lighter, and he approached the white silk wool waving its slender tentacles, and under the scorching of the flames, the white silk quickly dried up, withered and burned.

"This seems to be the spore hyphae of some kind of fungus?"

Er Yi shook the dagger with a puzzled expression, he couldn't identify the information of this thing with [Identification Technique], he only knew that it was some kind of parasitic fungus containing negative energy.

"So it's not a zombie, it's just a fungal corpse?"

Fat Tiger was dumbfounded, he made up all kinds of demons and monsters in his brain for a night, and he was mentally prepared to fight with Da Zongzi for 300 rounds.

And now you're telling him that these aren't zombies, they're just fungal creatures?

What about a good horror movie?

As soon as Mao was studied by you, the style of painting shifted from supernatural to science and education programs such as "Exploring Nature" and "The World is Wonderful"?

It's no wonder that these zombies are so afraid of fire, after all, fundamentally speaking, this thing is still a plant-like existence.

After a night of fighting, the second one probably also understood the characteristics of this "spore zombie".

This thing has a certain degree of transmissibility, likes dark and damp environments, is photophobic and afraid of fire, but has a certain phototaxis and heat-chasing characteristics, so it can sense the existence of creatures, and can even ignore nature in order to reproduce chasing creatures...... What a wicked thing!

No wonder even the powerful America military had to abandon this island base, I'm afraid this has also encountered this situation, right?

Thanks to the fact that this thing grows on an island, the salt of the sea is enough to prevent it from spreading to the outside world, and at the same time, it cannot survive for a long time without the special environment of Ashin Tuchi Island, which is humid and full of negative energy.

It is no wonder that even birds are parasitic, but the outside world has not found the existence of this parasitic fungus.

Eryi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so at least he didn't have to worry about accidentally spreading to the outside world and triggering a plant version of "Resident Evil".

The members of the treasure hunt team quickly collected the corpses on the port square, poured gasoline and burned them, and even sprayed the ground of the square with a pump to pump seawater to prevent parasitic hyphae from remaining.

Although even if you ignore them, spore zombies that have lost their ability to move will soon wither and die due to prolonged exposure to light, but in order to prevent the members of the treasure hunt group from accidentally being parasitized, it is more safe to collect them and burn them.

The members of the treasure hunting group were already full of morale because they had been protected by the "Oriental wizard" of Eryi.

After learning that these undead monsters are not the legendary "vampire zombies", but just a parasitic fungus, I am even more terrified.

While that doesn't mean that the fungus isn't a threat to them, at least they're not scared anymore and have the courage to fight these spore zombies!

So, in many cases, the fear is just from the unknown, and once the truth is known, even the most timid treasure hunt members dare to fight those spore zombies...... Is it a fungus, at worst, it's just a mushroom?

Although the various characteristics of spore zombies are the same as those of the legendary vampire zombies.

For example, they bite people, they suck blood, they say that they will bite people to death, assimilate them into their own kind, and so on.

But after changing the concept, the feeling is completely different, it's understandable to be afraid of zombies, what's the matter with being afraid of mushrooms?

It seems that in order to cover up the shame and embarrassment of being scared by a group of "mushrooms" and crying father, everyone is working hard.

Johnny and Joan and the members of the treasure hunt team moved all the materials they could find from the base to the large conference room.

In this way, it can reduce the chance of having to look for buildings with complex environments when you need certain supplies, and reduce the possibility of people scattering and encountering spore zombie sneak attacks as much as possible.

Ivan and John, on the other hand, led the security team to rummage through the entire air base, bringing back all the weapons and ammunition they could find, including the vehicle-mounted machine guns and anti-aircraft guns removed from some armored vehicles, to make up for their lack of heavy firepower as much as possible.
