Chapter 122 Fungal Parasites
Looking at the dense and twisting buds on the mantis compound eyes, Lin Yi quickly came to the conclusion: these mushrooms were deliberately spread by someone.
They have lived here for two months and have never seen such strange-looking fungi.
Moreover, Hua and the aliens have lived here for a long time. If there were fungi growing nearby that were enough to threaten their existence, Lin Yi and his team would never meet Hua here.
"Not only on the eyes, but also on its joints!" Zhou Kai looked solemn, stared at the mantis for a few seconds, and then said.
There are also disgusting fungi growing on the mantis' joints, but because they are sandwiched in the middle by the shell, they don't look conspicuous.
"This alien has been completely parasitized by these fungi."
This mantis is dead. The fungi grow very fast, and with the spread of spores, it has been completely parasitized by fungi as Zhou Kai said.
Its every move now is not its own intention. At this time, the mantis is equivalent to a puppet controlled by fungi.
In order to prevent the fungus from spreading further, the best way is to stop it from moving and burn it clean with fire.
However, Lin Yi did not act immediately, but turned his head to look at Hua.
The mantis was already dead, so the fragrance of Hua could not make it fall asleep.
He knew that these wild mantises were like family members to Hua, so even if the mantis in front of him was beyond saving, he was not sure about Hua's attitude.
But what Lin Yi did not expect was that Hua's attitude was very straightforward.
Before Lin Yi and the others could take action, several vines stretched out from Hua's body again.
One of them swung down fiercely at the mantis' body, and with a "snap", the mantis that was about to fly again was knocked down again.
The vines grew fleshy buds where they touched the mantis, and Hua tore the vines off again without changing his expression.
The other two vines stretched out towards the mantis, quickly entangled it, and then tore off the connection between the vine and itself.
The move was so quick and neat that Lin Yi and others could not help but be a little surprised.
"Zhou Yun." Hua looked back at Zhou Yun and said lightly, "Burn it."
"Ah?" Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"It's dead." Hua's face showed no sadness or joy, as if she was talking about an insignificant little thing.
"Besides, the direction it just flew to is where our nest is." Hua continued to say - Hua called the place where she and the alien lived "nest".
The instinct of the creature made this alien choose to return to the nest under control. Of course, it may also be that the fungus did it intentionally in order to continue to spread the spores.
So, once this alien successfully returns to the nest, then all the aliens will be doomed.
Lin Yi looked at Hua in front of him, he knew that Hua did this to protect other aliens.
But if this kind of thing happened to him, could he act as decisively as Hua?
When thinking of this, Lin Yi secretly made up his mind and resolutely not let this happen.
"Xiao Yun, do as Hua said." Zhou Kai nodded to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun took a step forward and raised his hands. The crystal on the back of the metal glove lit up faintly.
This weapon was originally intended for An Chengdao or Lu Linhai to use, but when they put on the gloves and tried to use it, they found that this weapon was much more difficult to control than a shotgun.
The person wearing the gloves will establish a subtle connection with the gloves.
In Zhang Cheng's words, there should be some special sensing device in the gloves - he once wanted to disassemble the gloves for research, but considering that they might not be able to be reassembled after disassembly, he finally gave up.
Unlike a shotgun, the crystal on the glove must be artificially stimulated to activate the energy stored in the crystal and make the gloves burst out with power.
However, to do this, the user must control the energy very carefully.
Only in this way can the gloves accurately play different modes -
Concentrate on sensing the energy in the crystal, and carefully comb it, so that the energy can overflow and form an invisible wall.
They call it shield mode.
Releasing subtle energy and concentrating it on the fingertips can make the energy condense into a beam, and the energy emitted from a long distance has a burning effect - the strange man used this mode to shoot down the flying mantis.
They call it the long-range mode.
Let the energy be evenly dispersed, completely wrap the gloves, and close-range attacks can burst out amazing power - this is also Zhou Yun's favorite mode.
They call it the close-range mode.
Compared with this pair of gloves, the shotgun that Brother Lei picked up is really not good enough.
But think about it carefully, the shotgun is a standard weapon commonly used by the army, while this pair of gloves is a unique weapon.
It is not surprising to have multiple modes.
An Chengdao and Lu Linhai, two rough guys, cannot control the energy in the crystal delicately, so they cannot maximize the effect of the gloves.
Lin Yi and Zhou Kai have the ability and voluntarily give up the use of gloves.
Zhang Cheng is not interested in fighting. If he gets the gloves, he would rather disassemble them for research rather than use them in battle.
So, they decided to let Zhou Yun try it.
As a result, Zhou Yun used it very smoothly in this trial.
The energy penetrated the mantis' jacket, but there was one thing that Lin Yi and the others had not expected.
The mantis had mushrooms growing not only in its compound eyes and joints, but also all over its body.
Mushrooms spread spores, so the mantis' body is full of spores.
Spores are flammable. The moment the energy penetrates the shell, the burning effect quickly ignites the spores in the mantis' body, and an explosion occurs instantly.
Fortunately, the explosion was not very powerful, but even so, Lin Yi still cautiously pulled Hua aside.
"Be careful of the spores floating over!"
Lin Yi's actions seemed to remind Hua of something, and a subtle touch flashed in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would explode..." Zhou Yun said apologetically.
"It's not your fault, and we didn't expect it either." Zhou Kai hurriedly comforted.
"Does this mantis being infected by fungi mean that Lin Hai and Zhang Cheng are also in danger?" An Chengdao's face was gloomy, and his eyes had already explained his next plan.
"I have to go find them."
"Let's go together." Lin Yi quickly calmed down.
Since these fungi were deliberately spread by someone, then An Chengdao would probably be in danger if he went alone.
In addition, he didn't know the exact location of Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng, and blindly searching would only miss the best time for rescue.
"I, Zhou Kai and Uncle An will go together, Hua and Zhou Yun will stay here."
"I can help too!" Zhou Yun waved his fist and said.
"That's why you should stay." Lin Yi explained.
"If there are more infected aliens coming, you can help Hua deal with them."
"If I'm not mistaken, the abnormal behavior of those rats must be related to these fungi." Lin Yi continued, "If the rats come back with spores, you can stay and use the gloves to deal with them."
"Let's go." After saying that, Lin Yi looked at Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai understood what Lin Yi meant, activated his ability, enhanced his sense of smell, and explored the location of Zhang Cheng and Lu Linhai.
