Chapter 100: Rust-eating parasites

Seeing this, Fang Lin Yanqi said:

"Isn't this box used to seal that rust-eating bug, and why would you be interested in the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures like humans?"

Goat Road:

"Boss, when you were busy before, I also went to the open database of the light wheel. There is some news about this. I think this box is just for some water. ”

"The purpose of chewing this arm is for the blood, or more precisely, for the moisture in it. ”

Fang Linyan was stunned and said:

"This box is a mechanical puppet at best, what do you want water for?"

Goat Road:

"Boss, don't you forget, a car is also a mechanical product, does it need water?"

The goat's question immediately stopped Fang Linyan, of course he knew that the car needed water, although the amount needed was far less than that of oil, but it was essential, and it also needed to be replenished regularly.

Since cars need water, it seems logical that this five-faced monster box also needs to be replenished.

At this time, in the hologram, I don't know who triggered what mechanism, and the five-faced monster's box suddenly opened......

The two of them looked at it several times, and finally determined that it was the guy with the gun who shot it, and he fired a bullet that hit the tip of the nose of a face, and then the tip of the nose was concave by about half a centimeter, and then the unboxing procedure was triggered.

Ahem, it seems like he just wants to destroy this chest, but it just happens to trigger something.

According to Fang Linyan's observation of this box, there should be a total of three unpacking procedures.

The first should be to press the tip of the nose,

The second is to enter the password,

The third pass should be the frequency of the input correlation resonance.

However, this box is estimated to be too old, so the last two verification procedures are broken, so it is directly opened.

When this thing was turned on, it was completely dark, as if the light was directly engulfed in it, and there was no reaction at all after a few minutes!

At this time, a researcher couldn't help but step forward curiously, tentatively peeked inside, and then turned around and said blankly:

"Like...... It's empty?"

However, just as the researcher turned around, although he clearly knew that it was a hologram, Fang Linyan and the goat both gasped at the same time.

Because right at the Adam's apple of his neck, there is an insect that looks like a cockroach!

The insect was rust-colored from top to bottom, and had a distinct metal structure at the link, and the two long whiskers on its head looked like they were flicking around, but when you looked closely, they were two beams of light.

Suddenly, he let out a terrible scream, and it seemed that the researcher had only now sensed the pain in his neck, and reached out to slap his neck.

But after he slapped it, he immediately saw a large hole in his neck with blurred flesh and blood, and the rust-eating insect actually burrowed into his body in an instant!

The researcher rolled on the ground in pain and no one cared about him, because ........ A large number of rust-eating parasites have flown out of the box!!

There are three types of these bugs, one that resembles cockroaches, one that resembles locusts, and one that resembles a mixture of cicadas and mosquitoes with sharp mouthparts.

Their surface has a distinctly metallic texture, and needless to say, the material is also metallic.

It's probably because it's been sealed in it for too long, so after flying, there is a layer of gray aura around it, like dust splashed in the tomb.

And from time to time, a malfunctioning electric spark will shine on the surface of the body, and some rust-eating parasites will fly halfway, and a puff of black smoke will come out from behind the buttocks, and they will directly hit the ground and convulse.

Bugs like cockroaches are the most numerous, followed by locusts, and the third type is the least, probably only a dozen.

The rust-eating parasites pounced on the researchers, and then burrowed into their bodies, greedily sucking blood.

At this time, Fang Linyan and the goats observed carefully, and found that these terrible rust-eating parasites seemed to behave differently from zombie eating, and the things they were chasing should first be the temperature.

Because in most cases, the hottest place on a mechanical lifeform should be its engine.

Secondly, blood is needed, to be precise, it should be the two components that blood is rich in, water and iron.

Or to put it another way, soaking in warm liquids brings them fond memories, because the birthplace of these rust-eating parasites seems to be inside the magma, and the warm, humid and soft environment inside the human body is both a material need and a spiritual comfort for them.

Next, Fang Linyan noticed one thing, the rarest parasite with sharp mouthparts had a completely different way of eating than the rest.

They were able to plunge their sharp mouthparts directly into the top of their victims' heads, and their hard skulls were as vulnerable as tofu under their sharp mouthparts, and then they burrowed into it, enjoying the heat and moisture of soaking into their dry bodies.

After witnessing this scene, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that the mystery of the cause of death of the previous corpse had been solved, what kind of immortal master was on his head and feet, and the heroic posture of breaking the skull with a sword was just imagination,

The real murderers are these rare mosquitoes and rust-eating parasites! They are small in size, extremely fast, and can even fly upside down like hummingbirds, and their mouthparts are extremely sharp, and they are completely like deadly killers to humans.

Soon, Fang Linyan noticed that these terrifying metal creatures were preparing to head towards the inside of the spaceship------- to be precise, it should be Pumas's body.

However, a pale blue gas immediately erupted from Pumas's passage, and according to the description of the machine-projected spider, it should be an insecticide prepared by Pumas a long time ago, and the formula for this thing was found from the database.

Ahem, just like humans don't keep recipes like mosquito killers secret, so it's not that hard for Pumas to get it.

After encountering targeted insecticides, these rust-eating parasites fled frantically as if they had encountered the end of the world.

The next thing is not difficult to deduce, these terrifying bugs drilled out, and they began to hunt humans frantically after not finding the energy block, although the blood umbrella organization is very powerful, but it is still helpless in the face of this kind of metal bugs that crush them in terms of technology.

The only way to escape is to the surface, and then forcibly shut down the laboratory and elevator.

However, what the Blood Umbrella Company didn't know was that in addition to eating, these terrifying insects also needed the energy in the energy block to replenish them, and in the absence of energy, there was a large-scale cannibalism.

In addition, they have been sealed by the five-faced monster box for I don't know how many years, and their vitality has long been exhausted, so they died one after another.

However, according to the information provided here, the mutation of rust-eating parasites is very strong, and the adaptability to the surrounding environment is very high.

A total of 6,441 rust-eating parasites were released.

With such a huge base, there is a 97.113% chance that a special mutant will be produced to survive by devouring enough companions, and gain the ability to adapt to the earth's environment for a long time, and can obtain energy from human flesh and blood.

Based on this data, Fang Linyan couldn't help but think of the experience of just entering Veronica's lab, and they were likely to encounter a special mutant.

It managed to escape from the underground laboratory and lay dormant in the outer area above, where the missing member of the Ducklands Corporation had undoubtedly become its victim.

Why didn't it choose to flee the entire laboratory directly, Fang Linyan felt that it was very likely that it had already escaped, but when it mutated, it evolved towards the damp, dark environment underground.

The harsh environment outside Veronica's lab was scorching hot during the day and freezing at night, and it was extremely dry and windy.

This particular mutant apparently did not have the energy to continue mutating and adapting to the outside world, so it had to return to Veronica's lab.

At least there was water in the ruins of Veronica's lab, and mutated half-metal creatures to hunt.

At the same time, this rust-eating parasite is afraid of the insecticides made by Pumas, so unless necessary, it will choose to lie dormant in the upper level of the entire laboratory, as far away from the nightmarish place in the underground lake as possible.

According to the data displayed by the mechanical projection spiders, these rust-eating parasites also possess a very considerable intelligence, at least at the level of human beings who are ten years old or even older.

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Linyan couldn't help but think of one thing: if I were this mutated rust-eating parasite, then what would I do?

Half an hour later, Fang Linyan and the goat came back to the entrance of the cave where they came, and they looked back and found that although they knew the truth of **, it was still difficult to connect this big hole with the exhaust port of the alien technology spaceship.

Just like Fang Linyan calculated, although the submersible they drove from was still floating on the water, the inside had been directly blown up by the koi fish, and it was still billowing green smoke at this time.

As you can imagine with the naked eye, the cockpit inside is a mess like a double bed that has been used for ten hours straight......

Fortunately, Fang Linyan had left a hand in advance, and they dragged out the hidden orange-shaped submersible from the reeds more than a hundred meters away, and then started the engine and left.
