Eventually, the soldiers were able to evacuate the mushroom forest safely, and the workers had cleared just over a kilometre of the area in the time it had took, although sewage had already been used to kill the fungus in the cleared area.

Fungi are also living organisms, and if they want to survive, they also need to look at the environment, in places with harsh environments, many fungi are also unable to grow, and at this time, the soil is polluted, fungi cannot live on the polluted land, and the white hyphae that were originally in the ground have also died.

It can be said that according to the current progress, cleaning an area of one kilometer every day can eventually take a month to reach Ruili.

However, if you want to move forward at such a time, the first thing you need to do is to solve the problem of mutant beasts, the mutant beasts that have attacked the army now are not simple beasts, according to Shen Feng's speculation, these mutant beasts are at least fourth-order mutant beasts, corresponding to fourth-order abilities, and compared to evolutionaries, these mutant beasts also have a huge size.

After everyone brought the wild yak and the reticulated python back to the camp, they explained the situation, Qian Bufei attached great importance to this, and hurriedly said: "Send it to the hands of the scientific researchers immediately to dissect, and in addition, no one is allowed to eat the meat of these mutant beasts until the situation is clarified." ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly, who would dare to eat mutant beasts casually in this situation, after all, the fierce attacks of these mutant beasts are simply terrifying.

Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan also followed to the area where the scientific researchers were, wanting to see what the situation was and why there were mushrooms on the heads of these mutant beasts.

At that time, the scientific researchers instructed others to open the head of the wild yak with a chainsaw, and even if they needed to take off the mushrooms, they needed to wear gloves to avoid touching things that should not be touched, and Shen Feng immediately saw an amazing scene.

The mushroom that was originally on the head of the yak was thought to be only growing on the head of the yak, after all, the yak species has a lot of hair, generally lives in the plateau and mountains, and there is a lot of sludge in the hair, so it is not impossible to grow mushrooms, but after cutting the head of the yak, it was found that the mycelium of the mushroom has penetrated deep into the brain, and countless slender mycelium are like rhizomes taking root in the brain.

After seeing this scene, Shen Feng was taken aback and asked, "This mushroom is really terrifying, right?" How is it possible to grow hyphae into the brains of animals? ”

After carefully observing the yak's brain, the researchers made this connection: "No, it is not the mushroom that takes root in the brain, but the mycelium develops in the brain, and finally grows out of the brain, not from the outside to the inside, but from the brain to the outside, which does not need any doubt." ”

Chu Chaoyan hurriedly asked, "You mean, mushrooms grow from the brain and finally come out of the brain?" How is this possible? The skull is very hard, otherwise how could the fossils left by the dinosaurs be basically bones? How could the mushroom break through the skull with such weakness? ”

"Having said that, the bones are indeed very hard, but there are also bone seams on the skull, especially our human children, the skull has not been closed, and even there is a fontanelle, as long as there is a gap, it is a weakness. The hyphae slowly grow from the cracks in the bones, stretching the skull apart little by little. The researchers explained seriously at this time.

Many animal skulls are not complete, even if they like to collide with cattle and sheep, the skull was originally a piece, and later developed into a piece, although it is closed, but there is a gap between the skulls, under normal circumstances, the closed skull is very tight, and it is impossible for ordinary people to separate the skull.

And at this time, Shen Feng had a new question: "Wait a minute, even if you say that mushrooms grow from the mycelium in the brain, how do these mycelium get into the brain?" ”

The question that Shen Feng asked at this time was very important, because at this time, there were also the same questions in the hearts of other people, why did the mycelium exist in the yak's brain?

The researchers could only shake their heads helplessly and said: "I don't know why, maybe the yak accidentally ate the mushroom, and, in addition to the mushroom, it may also have eaten mycelium, or inhaled spores, and these spores developed into mycelium in the body." ”

Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan continued to observe on the side of the scientific researchers, because the two of them were also worried about the growth of mushrooms on their heads, as long as they thought about it, there were mycelium to slowly stretch the bone seams, and then grow a mushroom, this kind of scene, as long as they thought about it, it would be creepy.

At this time, the scientific researcher commanded the dissection and said: "The nerve center of many animals is the brain, such as zombies, the brain becomes a fool completely after being destroyed, and these mycelium grow directly in the animal's brain, so that these mycelium may really be able to control the behavior of the parasitic animal, so this wild yak will fight until the end, even if it knows death, but the yak can't control its own actions, and can only fight until death." ”

Chu Chaoyan touched his head and asked, "Will this mushroom grow on a human head?" ”

The researcher shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are no examples of being parasitized by fungi at this time, but now even yaks have been parasitized by fungi, and if it is the turn of humans, maybe it will be the same result." ”

After that, everyone dissected the golden reticulated python, and similarly, there were many mycelium in the python's head.

Nowadays, if you want to continue to advance in the mushroom forest, you can only wait for the heavy firepower to be sent, and only with heavy firepower can the fire be suppressed in the forest, and if you can wash the ground with shells before exploring the way, it will be even better, even if it is such a huge wild yak as it encountered today, it will not be able to withstand the shells.

Shen Feng's camp immediately entered the defensive posture, the historical Dian army is actually famous for fighting positional warfare, I want to be in Taierzhuang, and finally be able to win, that is to be inseparable from the Dian army to defend Yuwang Mountain, and now at this time, the Dian army also inherited the ability of its predecessors to build fortifications, there is a triple low wall outside the mushroom forest, and behind the low wall is a trench, and there are ravines connected between the triple trenches, it is said that this is just to deal with the attack of mutant beasts, Even if you have to fight with an army, the fortifications here can definitely be supported.

Tens of thousands of people began to rest, because of today's fighting, treatment began directly in the temporary hospital, but in a day, hundreds of wounded appeared, and these wounded were basically injured by mutated wild yaks, lying on the hospital bed, many people let out a painful wail.

At night, a strange sound suddenly came from the camp, dozens of soldiers came out of the tent, rushed in the direction of the hospital, covered their heads as they hurried, and said in pain: "Help, my head seems to be about to explode, help." ”

The doctors and nurses in the hospital were already very tired, but they didn't expect that there would be patients coming at night, and they all said that they had headaches.

"Have you eaten anything you shouldn't have eaten lately? Otherwise, how could we have a stomachache together? "The doctor directly began to inquire after seeing the current situation, so many people are sick at the same time at this time, most likely food poisoning, and these people are all together, dozens of people are in a company.

The soldiers covered their heads and said bitterly: "No, how dare we eat indiscriminately? We were all in the camp during this time, and we didn't dare to eat anything. ”

The soldier's answer made the doctor confused, and if he didn't eat indiscriminately, he probably didn't eat something he shouldn't have eaten.

Helplessly, the doctor prepared a little and did CT for many people with headaches, only to find that in everyone's heads, I don't know when something like a rhizome appeared, and it appeared in everyone's heads as if it was a mess, everyone was extremely shocked, thinking of what they found during the day, and now there is only one explanation, that is, it has been parasitized by fungi in these people's brains.

"Something is wrong, not at all, why are there so many fungi in your brains? Did you secretly eat mushrooms? "The doctor was already shocked at this time, and when he came here, he had already issued a notice to everyone, that is, they were not allowed to eat casually, and as a result, at this time, everyone already had mycelium in their brains, wouldn't the next step be to grow mushrooms on their heads?

And as soon as the soldiers heard that this kind of thing had happened, they were almost frightened at this time, and during the day they all saw the crazy appearance of the wild yak golden reticulated python, these powerful mutant beasts were finally controlled, if mushrooms also grew on their heads, wouldn't they be controlled in the end?

"Doctor, we really didn't eat mushrooms casually, we all know that mushrooms are poisonous, how dare we eat mushrooms in this situation?" The soldiers hurriedly shouted injustice.

"That's right, we are also soldiers, the army has repeatedly said that these mushrooms are dangerous, how dare we eat them indiscriminately in this situation?"

"Doctor, we can't and can't control ourselves in the end, right?"

For a while, many soldiers were already panicking, and they were not injured during the battle, but in the end, they were parasitized by fungi at this time, and this feeling was simply worse than death.

The doctor also felt that it was abnormal, these soldiers were unlikely to eat mushrooms, and the transportation of mushrooms was basically done by workers, and now the workers have not had an accident, and it stands to reason that the soldiers should not have an accident, what is going on?

"Do you think about it, have you ever done anything special? Recall it all, and don't miss any details. The doctor told him seriously.

At this time, there is already a parasitistic thing in the camp, and if this matter is not solved, it will definitely cause panic among the people, so this matter must be solved immediately, at least to know how these people are parasitized.

At this time, the soldiers were thinking about the sharp pain in their heads while enduring it, and finally, the soldiers thought of one thing, that is, more than fifty people had gone to patrol the eastern area before, mainly to observe the terrain, and as for other things, there was nothing in common.

Some soldiers said, "I found two wild fruits over there and ate them, but they are obviously edible." ”

Another soldier said, "I just saw that the camellia was already blooming, so I smelled it, and I didn't do anything special." ”

Another soldier said, "I found a hive over there, so I smoked the bees and ate the spring honey." ”

"There must be a problem in this area, you stay in the hospital, let's get a drip first, as for the effect, alas, it depends on the situation." After learning the news, the doctor immediately decided to report the matter, hoping that the higher authorities could deal with the matter.
