Chapter Eighty-Four: Adaptation

Cheng Yiyi also knew that he was very ignorant.

In this interstellar world where you have to charge for traffic when you go online, you have to look at money if you want to save more knowledge in your head.

The federation is a society where capitalism prevails, and those who have money are powerful and powerful, and those who do not have money can barely make ends meet. The second star area is not bad, with the intervention of Mu Shi and Steward Qing, the infiltration of the underworld is not serious, and there are few bullying incidents.

There is no class in the study of knowledge.

For example, the fourth star zone is different from the third and eighth star districts, and the fourth star zone is mainly because the capital monopoly is too strong, resulting in too serious a gap between the rich and the poor, the poor cannot afford to study, and the federal policies do not benefit the poor at all.

Cheng Yiyi learned on the Internet that the eighth star area can study for rich people, because the poor can't move, if they live in the area where strange beasts are active, the school is not open, and they can only rely on online classes.

But there are also a few poor people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy traffic and learn new knowledge in a dangerous environment.

Yes, but that's in the minority.

After all, if you go to university, you have to spend a lot of money, and you can't afford to supply it.

Now Cheng Yiyi's Internet traffic is a year, more than 2,000 star yuan a year, but he has no time to learn more.

It's good to be able to read the news.

In other words, more than 2,000 can't afford to spend, and it is really not easy for her to be admitted to university.

Well, thinking about it this way, Cheng Yiyi felt that Mei Xiuxiu's punishment was not enough.

Mei Xiuxiu's stepsister seems to be quite reasonable and didn't bully her too harshly.

Cheng Yiyi touched her chin, and looked at what Mei Xiuxiu did after listening to what she said at the food fair last time, hoping that Mei Xiuxiu could act as she wished and step into the trap.

After coming back to his senses, the system didn't go too far this time, and gave the map, and Tan Song studied the map as he walked.

According to the prompt map analysis, there are three ways for the parasitic host to leave the junk star.

One is to take the spaceship docked by a rich man in the center of the city, this method has drawbacks, unless the host itself is a rich person, otherwise the spaceship needs to find a matching key to start.

The second is to go to the space building and escape with the survivors.

The three piloted the mecha to escape into the universe and drifted, and there was a certain chance of encountering a well-meaning search and rescue ship.

Tan Song is biased towards parasitic hosts, and will take the path of the Aerospace Building.

"What do you think?"

"Me? I have no opinion, what do you say, captain, what do I do. Yuan Zhao took a nuclear gun and pretended to aim around, not looking serious.

"Be serious, if it is a real time, we can be resurrected on the virtual network, and we may die in reality." Tan Song taught him two sentences.

Yuan Zhao was immediately aggrieved, but he couldn't refute it, he rubbed next to Cheng Yiyi, and said cheaply: "Yiyi, quickly give me an opinion to transfer the anger of the big wolf devil." ”

Cheng Yiyi: ???

Wonderful little friend.

Dead friends don't die poor Dao, how can he say it.

"There are very few soldiers stationed on Junk Star, and if there are living people, they are also operating in the most defended spacebuilding." Zhang Huaiqian said: "Captain, I want to go over and scout first, how about it?" ”

A city is dead, but there is still a good chance that there will be survivors on the side of the spacehouse.

Tan Song still agreed, let Zhang Huaiqian keep the public channel open, don't be careless.

Cheng Yiyi wanted to laugh at them for being too into the play.

But because the surrounding situation was too miserable and she would laugh like a pervert, she had to suppress the corners of her mouth and look around at the buildings in the city.

The buildings are all relatively uniform, made of original bricks, reinforced steel and concrete, and the exterior walls are covered with white paint that filters the air, and the paint is mixed with artificial purifying crystals that purify the air, which looks like a thin layer of light green glitter.

Purification hedron is often used for terraforming, as soon as it comes into contact with air, it automatically absorbs air, and through some kind of conversion, it releases gases suitable for human habitation. It is similar to greenery.

Green plants need soil to survive, and purification hedrons don't.

Moreover, the process of making purification spars is simple. Its cheapness is generally used to pave roads on the main star's side.

Due to the wind and sun for many years, the small spar is covered with a layer of yellow film, and the yellow-green glitter and the yellowed exterior wall are integrated, some of which are difficult to distinguish, forming a unique and simple style.

Tan Song released several pathfinders, exploring the left and right and the front respectively, he adjusted the video lens, and gave the tablet of the surveillance screen to Mo Luoxi and Yuan Zhao.

"You look at this, Cheng Yiyi and I will examine the corpse. Be vigilant around you, parasitic beasts don't die so easily, and you can be the next one to parasitize at any time. Tan Song advised.

"Don't worry, cousin, I'll take care of it." Murrosie nodded obediently, he didn't want to become a living parasitic nutrient in front of the audience.

"Hear me, Lyle." Yuan Zhao displayed the monitoring panel with one hand, pressed the intercom at his neck with the other and said: "Look at us, if I become ugly in public, it will be your sin." ”

Lyle: "......" noise, what's the matter with me.

Tan Song knocked Yuan Zhao with a brain meltdown.

The noisy Yuan Zhao finally converged under the threat of Devil Tan.

The four of them went their own way and began to search for clues.

Cheng Yiyi watched Tan Song meticulously inspect one of the corpses on the side of the road, and felt that Tan Song was really a good team commander.

Using the personality of everyone in the team to give the most suitable position, Mo Luoxi is the most obedient, as long as he is ordered, he will not disobey. Although Yuan Zhao can't sit still, he is very good at finding things from clues, and the premise is that he needs to be given a goal.

She herself, sharp-eyed, is accustomed to death and does not scare on corpses.

Cheng Yiyi opened the gloves of the protective suit and put them on, lightly touching the skin of the deceased, it was a little soft, not completely stiff, the wound on the chest was obviously lacerations, the sternum turned outward, and the mutilated lungs were clearly visible.

There are also sticky gray filaments on the surface of the lungs.

Cheng Yiyi found a plastic stick.

stabbed the corpse, and a wisp of gray was stirred up by her.

The sound of Zizi sounded on the plastic stick.

The plastic that comes into contact with the gray filament is bubbling with small bubbles, which is actually corrosive.

Cheng Yiyi was stunned, plastic can corrode, why can the host's lungs still sit well in the chest and not corrode away.

She replaced a metal scrap to pick up the gray filaments that wrapped around her lungs, and when she looked closely, she found that inside the swollen alveoli, there were unknown grains, flesh-colored, soaked in bloody lungs, which were not very conspicuous.

Carefully poke open the alveoli and flow out two slippery grains of millet.

Pulling the flesh-colored millet grains into a glass bottle, Cheng Yiyi shook the bottle.

The rice grain sticks to the wall of the bottle and is firmly attached to the same position if shaken violently.

"Is this the egg of a parasitic beast?" Cheng Yiyi handed the bottle to Tan Song.

The two who were still watching the surveillance couldn't help but come over curiously and ask what was going on.

Cheng Yiyi said: "What I found in the lungs of the corpse, some of the gray filaments wrapped around it were corrosive. ”

"Parasitic alien animals generally reproduce by division, because they are more efficient and faster. Oviparity is rare, but if the environment changes dramatically, they will change their reproductive methods to make it easier to retain the species. Yuan Zhao searched for the information of the alien beasts that he had memorized recently, and combined with what Cheng Yiyi said would leave gray threads, he said: "It may be a parasitic alien beast called Gui worm, they can grow up to thirty centimeters, and the adult body can survive without the host." It is the only alien beast that can transform from a parasite to an independent individual. The strength has reached the quasi-second level. ”

As soon as Yuan Zhao said this, Cheng Yiyi immediately felt that the characteristics were similar. Recently, she has made up for the knowledge of alien beasts, including the description of Gui worms, but what she has learned so far has not yet reached the parasitic alien beasts.

"It's easy to know if it's true." Tan Song next to him picked up a small stick, stretched the small stick into the glass bottle, and pressed it the millet grains.

The millet grains burst open, and a worm as thin as a two-millimeter hair appeared on the wall of the bottle, writhing its body, and the larvae were exposed to the air. The air, which is harmless to humans, is like poison to the larvae, and it is fatally hit.

After a while, it loses its activity and deflats and ablates.

There are no characteristics of alien beasts that can survive tenaciously in any environment, but they just match all the characteristics of parasitic alien beasts.

"Did you find anything over there?" Tan Song asked Mo Luoxi.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Mo Luoxi did make a discovery, "Here, there is a person who is still alive." ”

During the surveillance, a thin man in ragged clothes was rummaging through the pockets of dead bodies on the side of the road, digging out a pack of cigarettes, which he immediately lit and smoked happily. After a while, the calming effect of nicotine took effect, and the man sat next to the wall, his face showing addictive pleasure.

I don't know how many yellowish and blackened teeth have been extracted.

Cheng Yiyi frowned, she didn't like this way of decompression, the ease of getting through chemicals was too short-lived, not only not good for the body, but also easy to become addictive.

Due to military discipline, soldiers piloting mechs are not allowed to eat any addictive chemicals, which will affect mental power. Therefore, the friends around Cheng Yiyi are all good guys with healthy diets.

They also don't like to deal with smokers.

"I checked the brand of cigarettes he ate, which is very cheap, and I can buy ten cigarettes for 100 yuan, imitation."

Are imitations so expensive?

Cheng Yiyi glanced at the surveillance screen, "Are we looking for him?" To survive in this environment, there must be some ability. ”

The playability of the game lies in the process, it will constantly give the player clues, if it is really all according to the 100% real process of reality, the first floor can be played for several days, which is obviously impossible.

Such a survivor must have clues in his body.

"Let's go over and ask what's going on?"

According to Tan Song's words, Mo Luoxi led the group to go straight for five minutes, and then turned right.

When I looked up, I saw that the man was still in the same place, intoxicated by the clouds and mist.

The four of them stopped three meters away from him.

Tan Song shouted at the man, "Hello, we are the personnel assigned to come to the rescue. Do you know where the source of the parasite outbreak came from and where they went? ”

The man opened his eyelids and saw the four people in military uniforms, he looked shocked, and he didn't care about the imitation cigarette in his mouth, stumbled up, and ran away.

Cheng Yiyi held the tripping rope gun and hit the man's leg.

After a short scream, the man tripped and fell to the ground.

He held his head in his hands, curled up in a ball, and skillfully begged for mercy, "Please, let me go, I won't run anymore, please." ”

The four of them looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

After a while, the man saw that he had not been abused, and he slowly calmed down and looked at them again.

"Won't you beat me?" He asked timidly.

"Why are we beating you?" Yuan Zhao repeated what Tan Song had said, "We are here to rescue. ”

"Rescue? Junk Star actually came to the rescue? The man looked at the rare species in disbelief, and then thought of something, and was ecstatic, "Then am I saved, will you take me away from the garbage star?" He moved from side to side a few times, reaching for the rope, and it took a long time to untie it.

They didn't mean to help, and they tossed around for a while.

The man got up on his hands and feet and moved up to the men in their beautiful uniforms.

Tan Song raised his weapon to stop him from moving forward, "Three meters away from us, we haven't been sure if you have been parasitized, you can explain the things in the city, or your experience is briefly talked, and we will consider taking you again." ”

Pointed at the muzzle of the black hole, the man took a few steps back in fear, his eyes flickering, "I don't know anything." ”

"If you don't take the initiative to confess, don't blame us for being cruel, we won't take away any parasitic hosts that harm other planets." Tan Song said coldly.

"If you can't escape, why don't you take the initiative to confess?" Murlohy threw out the pathfinder, "It's already locked on to you, even if you go to the ends of the earth, it can find it." ”

"I ...... I don't know. ”

The man didn't cooperate, and the impatient Yuan Zhao shot the ground next to his leg, "Tell us what you know, we ask, you answer." ”

Shoot without saying a word, the man is terrified, the savior becomes a killer, they are fully armed, he should understand that it is not so easy to leave.

The man was unkempt, and his eyes were covered with long bangs, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

I can only apologize and nod, "Okay, okay." ”

Tan Song first asked him his name, date of birth, and how many years he had settled in the garbage star.

The men answered one by one. He spoke very slowly, like he was making up a scene, he said that his name was Mao Xiaofa, he was forty-five this year, and he had never left the garbage star since he was born. He woke up yesterday morning, and the whole city changed, one by one he died tragically before his eyes, and parasitic beasts jumped out of his chest, and he was almost scared to death.

Tan Song didn't believe his statement, and his performance didn't look like he was surprised.

"What was wrong with the people in the city before the change?"

Mao Xiaofamu was stunned for a few seconds, and he could see that he couldn't answer this question.

Tan Song asked differently, "I mean, has something happened recently that is very different from the past. ”

"A few days ago, someone distributed imitation cigarettes for free on the street, is it counted?" Mao Xiaofa lit another imitation cigarette, and complained to himself, "Those people are also stingy, one person only sent two, and they should be generous when they do free activities." ”

Distributing imitation cigarettes for free, Cheng Yiyi seems to have seen similar news somewhere.

Yuan Zhaoyi clapped his hands, "I see, this is the predecessor of the Yali incident, a piece of news related to the black bug beast." Wasn't there a frenzied scientific research organization that used humans as experimental subjects to study alien beasts? One of the victim planets is the Junk Star, and this scene must be based on this fact. ”
