Seeing this, Fang Linyan wondered,
“Isn’t this box used to seal the rush-eating parasite? Why were they interested in the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures like humans?”
Goat said,
“Boss, when you were busy repairing, I also went to browse the open database of Nimbus. I learned so information about it. I think this box just purely wanted to ingest so water.”
“The purpose of it chewing the arm was for the blood, to be precise, for the water in it.”
Fang Linyan said in astonishnt,
“This box is at best a chanical puppet. What does it need water for?”
Goat said,
“Boss, don’t forget that a car is also a chanical product. Does it need water?”
Goat’s answer got Fang Linyan imdiately. Of course, he knew that cars needed water. Although the amount needed was far less than that of oil, it was essential. Regular replenishnt of water was also required.
Since cars needed water, it seed logical that this Five-Faced Moster Box also needed to be hydrated.
At this ti, in the hologram, soone triggered so kind of chanism, and the Five-Faced Moster Box opened slowly…
They watched closely several tis and finally confird that it was the guy who shot did it. He fired a bullet and hit the tip of the nose of a face, then the tip of the nose was dented by about half a centiter and the unboxing procedure was triggered.
Ahem, it seed that he just wanted to destroy this box, but he happened to trigger so chanism.
According to Fang Linyan’s observation of this box, there should be 3 steps in the unboxing procedure,
The first thing to do should be to press the tip of the nose.
The second step should be entering the password.
The third track should be entering the frequency of the relevant resonance.
However, this box was probably too old, so the latter 2 verification procedures were broken, so it was opened directly.
After the thing was turned on, it was completely dark inside as if the light was swallowed up when it shone in. There was no response at all after several minutes!
At this ti, a researcher couldn’t help but walked forward curiously, looked inside tentatively, then he turned around and said blankly,
“It seems… to be empty inside?”
However, when the researcher turned around, although they clearly knew that it was a hologram, both Fang Linyan and Goat gasped at the sa ti.
Because right at the researcher’s Adam’s apple, there was an insect that looked like a cockroach!
And this insect was rust-colored, and there were obvious tal structures at the joints. The two long whiskers on the head seed to be flicking back and forth, but looking carefully, it turned out to be 2 light beams.
Suddenly, he let out a shrill scream. It seed that the researcher had just sensed the pain on his neck now, and he stretched out his hand to slap his neck.
But after he slapped it down, there was already a big bloody hole on his neck. The rush-eating parasite got into his body in an instant!
No one cared about the researcher writhing in pain on the ground, because… a lot of rush-eating parasites had already flown out of the box!!
There were three types of these bugs; cockroach, locust, and a mixture of a cicada and a mosquito with sharp mouthparts.
Their surface had an obvious tal texture. Needless to say, the material was tal.
It was probably due to being sealed in it for too long, so after flying, there was a layer of gray atmosphere around like dust flying up from the tomb.
From ti to ti, a spark would flash out on them. After flying halfway, so rush-eating parasites emitted black smoke, fell to the ground, and twitched.
Cockroach-like insects were the most nurous, followed by locust-like insects, and the third was the least with only a dozen or so.
These rush-eating parasites pounced on the researchers one after another, then they penetrated into their bodies and sucked their blood greedily.
Fang Linyan and Goat found that these horrifying rust-eating parasites seed to behave differently from zombies. The first thing they chased was temperature.
Because in most cases, the place with the highest temperature on the chanical creature’s body should be its engine.
Secondly, it needed blood. To be precise, it should be the 2 components rich in blood, water and iron.
Or put it this way, soaking in warm liquid could bring them good mories, because the birthplace of these rust-eating parasites seems to be in the magma. The warm, humid and soft environnt inside the human body fulfilled the physical and ntal needs.
The next thing Fang Linyan noticed was that the rarest insect, the one with the sharp mouthparts, ate in a very different way from the rest.
They could actually use their sharp mouthparts to directly penetrate the top of the victim’s head. Under their sharp mouthparts, the hard skull was as vulnerable as tofu, then they got in, enjoying the warmth and moisture in the body.
After witnessing this scene, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that the mystery of the cause of the death of the corpses had been solved. The martial art launching a sword strike from above was just an imagination.
The real killer was this kind of rare mosquito rush-eating parasites! They were small in size and extrely fast. They could even fly upside down and vertically like hummingbirds. Their mouthparts were also extrely sharp. For humans, they were as hard to guard against as deadly assassins.
Soon, Fang Linyan noticed that these terrifying tal creatures were about to head into the spaceship — to be precise, it should be Push’s body.
But a light blue gas was ejected from Push’s passage imdiately. According to the chanical projection spider’s description, it should be an insecticide prepared by Push long ago. The formula of this thing was found in the database.
Ahem, just like humans don’t keep secrets like mosquito repellent formula, so it was not too difficult for Push to get it.
After encountering targeted pesticides, these rust-eating parasites frantically fled outside as if they had encountered the end of the world.
The next thing was not difficult to infer. These horrible bugs got out. They couldn’t find the energy block, and they began to hunt and kill humans frantically. Even the Bloody Umbrella Company was powerful, they still had no counterasures against these insects that had higher technology.
They could only escape to the ground and forcibly shut down the laboratory and elevator.
But what the Bloody Umbrella Company didn’t know was that apart from eating, these terrifying insects also needed the energy block to replenish them.
In addition, they had been sealed by the Five-Faced Moster Box for an unknown number of years, and their vitality had been exhausted long ago, so they died one after another.
However, according to the information provided here, the rush-eating parasites had a strong variability and were very adaptable to the surrounding environnt. According to the calculation after the chanical projection spider was connected to the database,
A total of 6,441 rust-eating parasites were released,
With such a huge number, there was a 97.113% possibility of producing a special mutant, which could survive by devouring enough companions. It would obtain the ability to draw energy from human flesh, which allowed it to live in Earth’s environnt for the long-term.
According to this data, Fang Linyan couldn’t help thinking about the experience when he just entered Veronica Laboratory, they probably t a special mutant.
It successfully escaped from the underground laboratory and lurked in the outer area above. The missing mber of the Duckland Company had undoubtedly beco its victim.
Why didn’t it choose to escape from the entire laboratory directly? Fang Linyan felt that it might have escaped, but when it mutated, it evolved to live in a humid, dark environnt like the underground.
The harsh environnt outside Veronica Laboratory was extrely hot during the day and extrely cold at night. It was extrely dry and windy.
This special mutant obviously didn’t have the energy to continue to mutate and adapt to the external environnt, so it could only return to the Veronica Laboratory.
At least in the ruins of Veronica Laboratory, there was still water. It could hunt those mutated half-tal creatures.
At the sa ti, this rust-eating parasite was afraid of the pesticides produced by Push, so unless it was necessary, it would choose to lurk on the upper floor of the entire laboratory and stay as far away as possible from the nightmare in the underground lake.
According to the information displayed by the chanical projection spider, these rust-eating parasites also had very considerable intelligence, at least reaching the level of 10 years old or even higher than that of human beings.
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan couldn’t help thinking of one thing: If I were this mutated rust-eating parasite, what would I do?
***
Half an hour later, Fang Linyan and Goat ca back to the cave where they ca from. Even though they knew the truth of the incident, it was still difficult to connect this big cave hole with the exhaust port of the alien technology spacecraft.
Just as Fang Linyan calculated, although the subrsible they took was still floating on the water, its interior had been directly blown up by Koi and the others. It was still emitting green smoke.
They could imagine without looking that the cockpit inside was already in such a ss that it looked like a king size bed that had been used continuously for 10 hours…
Fortunately, Fang Linyan had prepared in advance. They dragged out the hidden orange-shaped subrsible from the reeds more than a hundred ters away on the opposite side, then they started the engine and left.
TL: The mutated parasite had shown before?
