"Yes. The young man nodded, and then said to Ouyang, "We arrived during the day, if it was night, we wouldn't dare to enter such a terrifying place." ”

"During the day, have you explored Nomura and found some corpses?" Ouyang asked with a frown.

The "......" young man ignored Ouyang and looked at Xiong Zhong again.

Tsk, give him a broken palm? Just cut him off! This guy is so angry.

Answer him. Xiong Zhong said, then added, "He asks you questions, and you must answer them." ”

"Yes!" replied the young man respectfully, bowing his head obediently, "when we were looking for food, we searched the inside and outside of the village, and found no corpses. ”

"No corpses?" Ouyang frowned and asked, "Then did you encounter those monsters again later?"

The young man shook his head: "No, we didn't see anything along the way, only some small villages that were destroyed. ”

Ouyang looked at Xiongzhong, who was a little stunned, not knowing what Ouyang meant.

Since there is no tacit understanding, then just ask directly.

"Shut this guy's mouth again and let them dry for a while. Xiong Zhong said to the children of the male loser, and then followed Ouyang to another shady place.

"Mr. Ouyang?" Xiong Zhong was a little puzzled.

"They didn't encounter zombies along the way. Ouyang reminded.

"Uh...... So what?"

"So that's not reasonable. Ouyang explained, "You also found that the zombies are attacking Nomura everywhere, and the Nomura they encountered along the way have all been attacked, in other words, the zombie group should actually be very close to them, if you look at the map, it looks like they are chasing zombies." ”

Ouyang said, and began to circle on the ground: "So this leads to a question: Are the zombie groups consciously exercising or unconsciously?

If so, why haven't these youths encountered zombies, and if so, where are they going?"

"And there is one more point!" Gong Chenggu also reminded him at this time, "From Huoqiu here, there is a big city in the middle, Juyang, why didn't Juyang find these zombies." ”

"Oh, why didn't Juyang find these zombies?" asked Ouyang a little strangely.

The news was quite fresh, he had learned about it for the first time.

"Because Juyangyi did not deliver news to Qi Siyi. The mayor of Juyangyi is a nobleman with a good reputation, and if such a terrible disaster happens in his city, then he will definitely send a few teams of messengers to deliver news to the surrounding cities. ”

Wow, that's amazing.

"So what about that...... It's a bit tricky. Xiong Zhong immediately understood what the two meant, "But if there is a purpose, then where will the purpose be?"

Ouyang said, "It should be following the nature of some kind of creature...... In other words, it is the law of natural heavenly reincarnation. ”

"Mr. Ouyang is Huang Lao's apprentice?" A somewhat hoarse voice came from behind everyone, as if the body needed water when he had just woken up.

"Teacher, are you awake?" the public loser turned around and saw the public loss class, and immediately handed over a bag of water intimately, "You drink." ”

"Hmm......" The public transport team took the water bag, took a few sips, and then looked at Ouyang, waiting for the other party's answer.

"In Xia Fubo, the ancient sage Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has never been able to see it, but ......" Ouyang made a small joke, and then bowed quite solemnly, and introduced himself, "I studied under Li Er, although I did not have a great courtesy, but I should also be regarded as a disciple of Lao Tzu." ”

This "courtesy" of self-introduction is not so solemn because of respect for the other party, but to show respect for one's own teacher.

"Lu Guogong lost the class, and Zhou Gongdan was under the door. The public loser class also solemnly replied, "It turned out to be Lao Tzu's disciple, and it was disrespectful." ”

"Don't dare to be. Ouyang hurriedly said.

The two used aristocratic etiquette for a long time, and then began to talk about business officially.

"I know the seriousness of this matter. The public loss class frowned, and said in a solemn tone, "What did Ouyang mean by what Ouyang said just now, following the natural and normal avenue, is that kind of monster that is not in the world just some kind of animal? ”

Ouyang also knew that he shouldn't be polite at this time, so he immediately entered the role of a teacher and explained to everyone: "For now, these monsters still have the habits of creatures.

Xiong Gongzi once went to Yan Lou and met Jiang Yu, and knew that her father, the poison saint Jiang Linsheng, had used a herb called 'Cordyceps' to make the King of Chu enter a half-life, half-dead state, that is, the monsters we saw that could not be killed. ”

Xiong Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, this is a conspiracy between Qu Xie and Xiong Sheng, in order to give birth to the child in Qu Yanji's belly safely, so that they will have a chance to get into that position." But I didn't expect this kind of thing to come out of the high walls of the palace and become the trigger for the imminent destruction of the Chu State, what an irony......"

Ouyang shrugged his shoulders undeniably when he heard Xiong Zhong's angry remarks, and said, "We don't care about the specific purpose for the time being, in short, such a thing is now spreading out like a plague." ”

"Like a plague?" asked the public squad with some strange curiosity, "isn't this a plague?"

"Not really. Ouyang shook his head, "The essence of the plague is a virus...... You can simply interpret it as the destruction caused by something smaller than a human hair, which is not supposed to be a living thing. This Cordyceps is different, it is actually a living organism. ”

"......" Gong Losing Class and Xiong Zhong looked at Ouyang with a somewhat confused look, which made his scalp tingle for a while.

He hates doing science work for others the most.

Ouyang scratched his head, constantly thinking about how to explain this thing, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "The worm should know, it is the kind of parasite that will live in the human intestine. ”

The public loser nodded: "I have heard of this, if you like to eat raw fish, most of you will have this kind of worm in your body, which will be colic at least and rotten at worst." ”

The way to eat sashimi has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so intestinal parasites have also entered everyone's field of vision from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The idiom "popular" comes from the dialogue between Mencius and Zengzi, in which the name "guan" refers to sashimi.

It's really thanks to the foodie ancestors, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain such a complicated thing.

Seeing that everyone could understand somewhat, Ouyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain: "Cordyceps is actually similar to this kind of worm, although Cordyceps is called grass, it is still a kind of insect in essence. It's just that the worm is parasitic in the stomach, and the cordyceps is parasitic in the human brain. ”

"Brain?!" Xiong Zhong was a little hard to accept such a disgusting setting, but the thought of having to decapitate him in the first place to kill him made some sense.

"Yes, brains. Ouyang looked at Xiong Zhong and nodded, "This kind of insect likes to suck human neurons, brains, and spines very much, and they are all their food, so if you dissect the bodies of those zombies, you should be able to see that their brains and spine are covered with something." ”

"Then why do they attack people?" asked Xiong Zhong puzzled, "Is it some kind of bad taste to manipulate people's bodies and attack people?"

Ouyang stretched out two fingers: "This is to talk about the two basic goals of living things, the first is survival, the second is reproduction, everything else is void." In order to survive, these parasites need human brains and spines, and in order to reproduce, these parasites need to spread their offspring, so they manipulate these corpses to attack other living people. ”

The public lost his head and continued to ask, "Then how do they manipulate the corpses, and how do they reproduce and spread?"

"It's simple. Just stimulate people's desire for food, and then replace the living with food, so that zombies can be manipulated to 'prey' on the living. Some charlatans can also use hypnosis to replace something in the human eye with another. As for how to spread the seeds......" Ouyang said,

"I once saw a worm called the nematode in the south, which is also a kind of parasite, which will parasitize the body of praying mantis and locusts, and when it is time to lay eggs, it will manipulate the mantis and locusts to come to the water's edge, and then break out of the belly and enter the water to lay eggs.

Cordyceps is much more sophisticated than the nematode, when they manipulate corpses to bite living people, their eggs will enter the body of living people through saliva, and the whole person will be eaten by blood. ”

The crowd looked at each other in amazement, and the expressions of elementary school students watching university teachers explain science - although I couldn't fully understand it, but what you said was reasonable, and I couldn't find any other point of view to refute. In short, you are so powerful, just believe you - this kind of psychology is gradually spreading in the hearts of everyone.

"So we're going back to the original question, why are these zombies constantly moving. Ouyang continued, "I have two opinions: one, as I just said, is that in order to reproduce and survive, they keep attacking Onomura because Onomura is better at attacking.

If you don't attack a city as big as Juyang, it is very likely that when you were in Huoqiuyi, you suffered a big loss and lost a lot of ethnic groups, so you have a long memory. As for why they route all the way to the north, this is mainly due to the problem of their habits.

I heard Jiang Yu say that the place where Jiang Linsheng found Cordyceps was in an extremely cold black pool. The climate in the north is a bit colder, and they may be chasing a more suitable environment for them. Just like people who are afraid of cold like to live in the south, and people who are afraid of heat like to live in the quilt. ”

Saying this, Ouyang suddenly fell silent.
