Earth Destruction Plan

Chapter 373: Ice leech worms

The soldier died, and the body was put in a body bag. Everyone dug an ice pit on the side of the spacecraft and buried him in it. Soon, it froze into a lump and sealed it permanently.

He has become a part of this planet forever, immortal.

The remaining people returned to the mothership bridge one after another, sitting together in silence.

They were waiting for the final result. After more than an hour, Professor Nadu walked out of the laboratory with a memory in his hand.

He clicked the button on the memory, and the content inside was projected onto the big screen. Under the microscope, a huge transparent bubble appeared. The thing was like a pack of liquid, with thick skin and wrinkled skin. , With long tentacles behind him, the whole body is transparent, body hair is very long, and there are barbs on the body hair.

"It looks disgusting." Jia Jia covered her mouth and almost didn't vomit.

"This is how it looks three hundred times magnified, but it's actually very small," said Professor Naduo. "There is no such creature on the earth, or even a similar one. I named it ice leech worm."

Bingzhi looked at each other.

"Yes, don't underestimate this guy. The soft body looks like a weak wind, but it can withstand very low temperatures. Because there is only this specimen, I did not dare to test it under very extreme conditions. At least, Within my control, the low temperature of minus 30 degrees on this planet has no effect on it."

"Will the water in its body freeze?" Hao Zhi also thought this thing was disgusting.

"That is the high concentration of body fluid in its body. Due to a special composition, it is very active, and its molecular structure is loose and does not freeze."

"This little guy killed my brother" the soldier asked with gritted teeth.

Professor Naduo nodded: "Yes, according to my observations, this is a very rare parasitic organism. It does not have much ability to move. It can only grow and lay eggs by parasitizing on the host. By the way, we were in The white spots found in the blood of those dead beasts should be its eggs"

"It's still laying eggs and vomiting" Lele stretched out her tongue and made a gesture of throwing up.

"Yes, each of the tentacles of the ice leech worm is very powerful. When it touches the host, it will climb to the position of the host's central nervous system, and then pierce long tentacles into the host's main nerve. Together, while absorbing nutrients, they lay eggs. By the way, their eggs are the cells of the body. They reproduce asexually. As long as part of the body is separated, each cell will grow into a new ice leech."

"Well, even if it can parasitize, divide, and lay eggs, how can it kill the soldier?" The old cat couldn't help but interject.

"The problem lies here. This little guy is not like a normal parasite. It is parasitic in the muscles or intestines. It is enough to absorb nutrients. It parasitizes directly on the central nervous system of the host and inserts its tentacles. Between the opponent’s nerve bundles, and all biological activities of living beings are coordinated by nerve conduction. For example, it is like a wire. You insert a needle into it. There is no problem. The current can still pass through it. The needle continues to conduct, so soldiers usually do not see any abnormalities. Once the needle is removed, the wire is disconnected and a fault appears in the nerve bundle, so even the basic heartbeat and breathing will instantly stop."

"The true end of the same thing" Hao Zhi gasped, "Once it is parasitic, it cannot be removed, otherwise it will be a dead end."

"Are those animals that died also because of this thing?" Sun Mingyu calmly connected with the previous problem.

Professor Naduo nodded affirmatively: "I have re-examined the animal carcasses that we have previously dissected, and I am sure that these animals have similar miniature wounds on the central nervous system. They have thick body hair, so it is more difficult to find."

Hao Zhi remembered the numerous corpses under the ice layer he had seen before: "Perhaps there have been very prosperous biological systems on this planet. Even on the ice field, there are so many monsters like the monsters we see living. , They have just entered the primitive stage of planetary evolution.

It has just evolved a complex large animal ecosystem, and it was originally very promising to reach the stage of advanced intelligent civilization.

But I don’t know which day these guys showed up

They invaded the satellite with their superior biological superiority, killed all the creatures, and finally attached themselves to the corpse, was sealed in the ice, and hibernated.

And we blasted the ice layer and carried out deep excavation work, so that these **** things appeared again and parasitized on the soldiers."

"But it stands to reason that if these things have been there from the beginning, other creatures on this planet should not have a chance to survive, let alone enter the complicated evolution."

"So, this guy must have come from space. Although I don't know where the origin is, they are like dandelions, drifting endlessly along with the electron current or radiation wind in space. The planet, just fall on it and eat it all." The old cat made his own inference.

"Well, so after these things came, the creatures on this planet died almost overnight. According to my observations, almost all animal carcasses were sealed in the same horizontal position on the ice, indicating the time of death. It’s very close and based on the current increase in the thickness of the ice on Europa’s surface by 0.2 millimeters per year, we dug about 20 meters to reach the corpse layer. In other words, the time for these worms to arrive on Europa is about 100,000. Years ago, the beasts deserved to have a background in geology, and they quickly came up with the results.

"Wait" Lele interrupted him incredulously, "Do you mean that these disgusting bugs have survived for a hundred thousand years by relying on the nourishment of the corpse alone."

"How could it?" Professor Naduo denied this idea ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ No matter how subtle digestion, these corpses will be turned into fine powder for 100,000 years. The corpses are preserved intact, indicating that these ice leeches did not eat them at all. But as the host dies, they go to sleep"

I have been dormant for 100,000 years, and once I was dug out, I can live immediately. What is this. How could there be such terrifying creatures in the world?

How much vitality can this be done

Professor Na Duo clicked on the screen and jumped out a video of pink meat insects: "As you know, this kind of thing is not only found in space, but also on the earth. There is a kind of tardigrade creature on our earth. The fact is It can also be called a microbe, because it is so small that only a microscope can see its true face. The most representative one is the water bear. This animal is spread all over the world and has a water film on its body, which can be relied on. The nutrients inside survive.

But the water bear is the most tenacious creature on the planet. It can live in a vacuum or radioactive environment without any protective measures, let alone freezing, boiling, and drying in pediatrics."
