Chapter 293: A Deadly Hole Card

What Qi Lin didn't say explicitly was that this parasitic worm, since it has the ability to kill people in reality in the virtual world, this is undoubtedly a very terrifying and special mutated creature.

If you can get some parasitic worms that are in a sleeping state or eggs that have not yet hatched, it will undoubtedly become a deadly hole card for Qi Lin.

Parasitic worms are the only thing that Qi Lin knows that can "kill people" directly in the game, and the operation method is also very simple, as long as the opponent can lose the ability to resist and commit suicide, and then directly throw the parasitic worm into the opponent's face.

The rest, this milky white flesh worm the size of a finger, will take care of everything.

To outsiders, the player who died in the game cabin was like a sudden heart attack, and if they didn't see what the other person went through in the game, then no one would know what the cause of death was.

This method sounds as creepy as a Gu, and such a small worm is the "deadly Gu worm".

But then again, this thing is very dangerous, and using this parasitic worm to kill people is like playing with fire, and if you don't do it properly, it can easily set yourself on fire.

The parasitic worm was very fragile, but it was also very dangerous, and before that, Qi Lin had to think of a way to safely get the worm out of the parasite's body and take it with him.

It takes a lot of thought to ensure that this little worm can live until Qi Lin needs it, and to ensure that it will not be eaten by the parasitic worms on his body when he is lax.

First of all, Qi Lin had to know the living habits of parasitic worms - fortunately, after such a long battle with the parasites, a considerable part of the information about parasitic worms in the brain database had been unlocked.

Qi Lin casually made an excuse to say that he needed to be alone for a while, and Ivan, who was a little upset at the moment, didn't care, and immediately signaled that Qi Lin could move freely.

Qi Lin casually found a room that was very close to the entrance of the fortification tunnel and was uninhabited, and then turned on the built-in projector of Zhi Brain, and a clear picture was projected onto the yellowed wall in the room.

This is a photo of a parasitic worm, which looks very similar to a silkworm, but the whole body is translucent, and the body surface is covered with a layer of mucus like egg white, but after the picture is enlarged, it shows another detail that is difficult to find with the naked eye in a normal state.

Under the mucus on the surface of the parasitic worm's body, there are countless tiny villi - according to the introduction in the data, these tiny "villi" will grow rapidly after the parasitic worm parasitizes into the host's body, and become the root-like filaments that Qi Lin observed with thermal vision before covering the host's entire nervous system.

These filaments can grow up to more than 10 meters long, and parasitic worms rely not only on these tentacle-like filaments to control dead parasites, but also on these filaments to suck nutrients from the parasites.

Since the parasitic worm itself does not consume much energy, a specially treated, non-decomposed corpse can be parasitized for years - and after a few years, the parasite used as a host will be completely hollowed out by the parasitic worm.

If the parasitic worm fails to find a new host at this time, it will go into a dormant state.

Parasitic worms are not necessarily social creatures, but when a large number of parasitic worms gather together, they can only see each other and can communicate with each other through a special pheromone, thus forming a social structure similar to that of humans.

Like when Qi Lin broke into Warehouse Nine, the parasite in the radiation suit was similar to the "Night Watch", while the other parasites were dormant.

Why is dormant, it's very simple - although I don't know why there are a large number of corpses stored in warehouse No. 9, but these corpses are obviously the "food" of these parasitic worms, if these corpses are consumed by them, then these parasitic worms will have to fall into an almost endless sleep until they die, however, Qi Lin appeared in front of these parasitic worms, and the smell of fresh flesh made them realize that this was a new "host" and a new "food" - so, the first batch of parasitic worms woke up, These were the dozens of parasites that Qi Lin saw at the beginning.

Later, the first batch of awakened parasitic worms discovered that there was more prey out there - the mutants, and they woke up more of their kind......

This is also the reason why Qi Lin and the number of parasites they are facing are increasing, parasitic worms need to change hosts several times in their lives, and those corpses sealed in Warehouse Ninth obviously cannot meet their needs.

As Qi Lin read, his fingers swiped quickly across the screen of his brain, and the text information displayed in the projection screen was also scrolling rapidly.

As he stroked, Qi Lin's fingers suddenly stopped, resting on top of a dense line of text.

"Found it, parasitic worm habits-"

Parasitic worms prefer environments with very high radiation concentrations, if they are placed in an environment without radiation, the tentacles on the surface of the worm's body will gradually shrink and degenerate, after losing these tentacles, it is just an ordinary worm with a high IQ, although it can still kill the host, but it cannot control the host's corpse and transform it into a parasite.

"No wonder these parasites didn't chase out of the tunnel......"

After these tentacles degenerate, the parasitic worm is equivalent to being wasted - as for still killing the host, even if an earthworm is put into a person's brain, it can also kill, but without those tentacles that invade the nervous system, the way the parasitic worm destroys the human brain is only a purely physical means, which obviously cannot kill a player in the real world.

"So, you can't take these parasitic worms out? Once you get out of this tunnel, you will turn into a normal bug? ”

Qi Lin frowned and muttered to himself, while his fingers continued to swipe down-

"What is this document ......? Aren't these bugs naturally mutated? ”

The picture at the bottom of the parasitic worm-related information caught Qi Lin's attention, which was a photocopy of a secret document from the former Soviet Union, which Qi Lin did not recognize most of the Russian, but he understood the two words in the title.

"Nurturing", and "Research Reports".
