Doomsday Catastrophe

In the end, the soldiers safely evacuated the mushroom forest, and the workers only cleaned up an area of ​​more than one kilometer today. However, the fungus had been killed with sewage in the cleaned area.

Fungi are also living beings, and if they want to survive, they also need to look at the environment. In places with harsh environments, many fungi cannot grow. At this time, the soil is polluted, and fungi cannot live in the polluted land. The white hyphae also apoptotic.

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

However, if you want to advance at this time, the first thing you need to do is to solve the problem of mutant beasts. The mutant beasts that attack the army are not simple beasts. According to Shen Feng's speculation, these mutant beasts are at least four The first-order mutant beasts correspond to the fourth-order supernatural beings, and compared to the evolutionaries, these mutant beasts also have a huge size.

After everyone brought the wild yak and reticulated python back to the camp, they explained the situation. Qian Bufei attached great importance to it, and quickly said: "Immediately send the wild yak and the reticulated python to the hands of the scientific researchers for dissection. They are not allowed to eat the meat of these mutant beasts."

Everyone nodded quickly. Under such circumstances, who would dare to eat mutant beasts casually? After all, the fearless attacks of these mutant beasts are simply terrifying.

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

The researchers instructed others to open the wild yak's head with a chainsaw. Even if they needed to remove the mushrooms, they needed to wear gloves to avoid getting things that shouldn't be touched. Shen Feng immediately saw an astonishing scene.

The mushrooms that were originally on the yak's head, I thought it was just growing on the yak's head. After all, yaks have a lot of hair on their bodies, and they usually live in plateaus and mountains. There is also a lot of sludge in the hair. It is not impossible to grow mushrooms, but after cutting the head of the yak, it was discovered that the hyphae of the mushrooms had penetrated into the brain, and countless slender myceliums took root in the brain like rhizomes .

After seeing this scene, Shen Feng was taken aback and asked, "Isn't this mushroom really scary? It can grow hyphae into the brains of animals. How did you do it?"

After carefully observing the yak's brain, the researchers gave this answer: "No, it's not that the mushrooms take root in the brain, but the mycelium develops in the brain and finally grows out of the brain, isn't it What grows from the outside to the inside, grows from the brain to the outside, there is no need for any doubt about this.”

Chu Chaoyan quickly asked: "You mean, mushrooms grow from the brain, and finally come out from the forehead? How is this possible? Skulls are very hard, otherwise the fossils left by dinosaurs are basically bones ? The mushroom is so weak, how can it break through the skull?"

"Having said that, the bones are indeed very hard, but there are also gaps in the skull, especially for our human children, the skull has not been closed, and there is even a fontanel. As long as there is a gap, it is a weakness. The mycelium slowly grows from the bone seam, opening up the skull little by little." At this time, the researchers explained seriously.

The skulls of many animals are not complete, even cattle and sheep that like to collide. The skull was originally a whole piece, but it became a whole piece after later development. Although it is closed, the space between the skulls There are gaps between the skulls. Generally, the closed skulls are very tight, and it is impossible for ordinary people to separate the skulls.

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

The question Shen Feng asked at this time is very important, because at this time, other people also have the same question in their hearts, why does mycelium exist in Yak Feng's brain?

The researcher could only shake his head helplessly and said: "I don't know why, maybe the yak accidentally ate mushrooms, and besides mushrooms, it may also eat mycelia or inhale spores, and these The spores develop into the mycelial mass inside the body."

Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan continued to observe the researchers, because they were also worried that mushrooms would grow on their heads, as long as they thought about the mycelium slowly opening the bone seam, and then a mushroom would grow. This kind of scene, just thinking about it, makes people creepy.

At this time, the researchers directed the dissection and said: "The nerve center of many animals is the brain, such as zombies. After the brain is destroyed, it becomes a fool completely, and these hyphae are directly in the animal's brain. In this way, these hyphae may really be able to control the behavior of the parasitized animal, so this wild yak will fight until the end, even if it knows death, but the yak cannot control its own actions , can only fight until the death."

Chu Chaoyan touched his head and asked, "Will this kind of mushroom grow on human heads?"

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

After that, everyone dissected the golden reticulated python. Similarly, there are many hyphae in the python's head.

Nowadays, if you want to continue to advance in the mushroom forest, you can only wait for heavy firepower to be sent. Only with heavy firepower can you suppress firepower in the forest. If you can shell the ground before exploring the road, then Even better, even a wild yak as huge as the one encountered today cannot hold the shells.

The camp where Shen Feng was located immediately entered a defensive posture. The Dian Army in history was actually famous for fighting positional warfare. I think it was inseparable from the Dian Army’s steadfast defense of Yuwang Mountain when they were able to win in Taierzhuang. At this time, the Dian army has also inherited the ability of its predecessors to build fortifications. There are triple low walls outside the mushroom forest, and behind the low walls are trenches. There are gullies connecting the triple trenches, which are called It is said that this is just to deal with the attack of mutant beasts. Even if it is to fight against the main army, the fortifications here can definitely support it.

Tens of thousands of people began to rest. Because of the fighting that occurred today, the temporary hospital immediately started treatment. In just one day, there were hundreds of wounded, and these wounded were basically injured by mutated wild yaks. Yes, lying on the hospital bed, many people wailed in pain.

At night, there was a strange sound in the camp. Dozens of soldiers got out of the tents and rushed towards the hospital. They covered their heads while they were on the way, and said in pain: "Help me!" Ah, my head seems to be exploding, help me."

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 they had a headache. Could it be food poisoning?

"Did you eat something you shouldn't eat recently? Otherwise, why would you have a stomachache together?" The doctor started asking directly after seeing the current situation. So many people were sick at the same time at this time, and finally It may be food poisoning, and these people are all together, dozens of people are in a company.

While covering their heads, the soldiers said in pain: "No, how dare we eat indiscriminately? We are all in the camp during this time, so we dare not eat indiscriminately."

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

Reluctantly, the doctor made some preparations and performed CT scans on many people with headaches, only to find that some rhizome-like things appeared in everyone's heads at some point, appearing in everyone's heads like a mess , Everyone was extremely shocked, thinking of what they discovered during the day, now there is only one explanation, that is, the brains of these people have been parasitized by fungi.

"It's not right, it's not right at all. Why are there so many fungi in your brains? Did you secretly eat mushrooms?" The doctor was shocked at this moment, and he had already A notice was issued to everyone, that is, they are not allowed to eat casually. As a result, at this moment, everyone's brains already have hyphae, and the next step is to grow mushrooms on their heads?

When the soldiers heard that this happened, they were scared out of their wits at this moment. 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 grow on his own head, won't he 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 under such circumstances?" The soldiers quickly shouted.

"That's right, we are soldiers after all. The army has repeatedly said that these mushrooms are dangerous. How dare we eat them indiscriminately under such circumstances?"

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

For a moment, many soldiers panicked. They were not injured during the battle, but in the end they were actually parasitized by fungi at this time. This feeling made life worse than death.

The doctor also felt that it was abnormal. It is unlikely that these soldiers ate the mushrooms, and the handling of the mushrooms was basically done by the workers. Now the workers have not had any accidents. It stands to reason that the soldiers should not have any accidents. Did this happen? What's up?

"Recall carefully, have you done any special things? Everyone recall, don't miss any details." The doctor seriously urged.

At this moment, someone has been parasitized in the camp, and if this matter is not resolved, it will definitely cause panic among the people, so this matter must be resolved immediately, at least knowing How these people are parasitized.

At this time, the soldiers were thinking while enduring the severe pain in their heads. Finally, the soldiers thought of one thing, that is, more than 50 people had gone to patrol the east area before, mainly to observe the terrain , as for other things, there is nothing in common.

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

Another soldier said, "I just saw that the camellias were blooming over there, so I smelled them. I didn't do anything special."

Another soldier said hesitantly: "I found a beehive over there, smoked the bees away, and ate spring honey."

"There must be a problem in this area. You stay in the hospital and get an IV first. As for the effect, alas, it depends on the situation." After the doctor heard the news, he immediately decided to report the matter, hoping that the higher authorities could handle it this matter.
