Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

"Spider Dead City" left a deep impression on the audience and commentators on the other side of the screen. The contestants did the task of "Fearless Swarm" over and over again, and they had to watch the terrifying nature over and over again.

Most of the time, the audience chose to switch channels, but when it was Jennifer's turn to solve the puzzle, most of them had to hold their noses and continue watching, which was really painful and happy.

The audience on the other side were howling, and Jennifer on the other side was also wondering.

She had never seen a spider web of this magnitude, let alone one without spiders.

Unlike ants and bees, which are known and common social insects, spiders are more solitary.The spiders that scientists have classified well rarely live in groups, and there are only more than 20 species in the world.Jennifer wanted to draw conclusions, but the similarity of the spider webs alone was not conclusive evidence.There may also be a large number of spiders in some more suitable environments. After all, a large number of spiders and group-dwelling spiders are two concepts.

The spiders live in groups and leave their settlements at the same time. Is it caused by the change of the environment here?

The task at North Five Point is called "Fearless Swarm". If the word "fearless" implies that animals are not afraid of death in the face of natural disasters, it is not impossible. What the program team wants the contestants to observe is how the swarm responds to environmental changes and use this to make a research

Jennifer looked at the big tree beside her.

Her deduction just now is not just nonsense, but what kind of mutation can make the spiders move away in a short period of time, and the spider webs are not too damaged.

I vaguely grasped something, but before I saw it clearly, the deafening sound of the helicopter's propellers moved from far to near, turning those uncaught details into water droplets sliding on the glass window, and it was a blink of an eye. out of sight.

Romanian player Anton came to meet her after seeing off his companion.

With the idea that one more person might be able to see more things, Jennifer told him all the abnormalities here, and at the same time smoothed out her thoughts for herself.

Anton quickly surprises her "you think these spiders migrated away in a large scale"

"I'm not sure," Jennifer said frankly. "In fact, I'm not sure if these spiders all happened to be in this area or if they belong to the same group. If it's a unique species, it makes sense to have unique habits; Different spiders happen to be living together, and I can't think of anything innate about them abandoning nests in groups."

"Maybe they didn't give up the nest voluntarily," Anton said.

"what do you mean"

"Migration by nature does not allow spiders to leave their babies behind."

Hearing Anton's explanation, Jennifer was taken aback for a moment, and then looked in the direction he pointed.

It turned out that those spider webs were blocked by the wide leaves, but now everything is clear when the leaves are pushed aside.On the webs on Anton's side, there are more dense silk-like solids hanging on the webs, which are probably places where spiders hatch their offspring.Most spiders weave eggs into egg bags with spider silk, some spiders carry egg bags with them, some spiders find places to hide them, and some spiders hang them on the web but no matter what In any of the above situations, Anton is right. It is nature not for spiders to leave their egg sacs and migrate alone.

"Look for the ground." Jennifer said immediately.

If there is an external force to force the spider to move or kill all the nearby spiders in a short period of time, it may leave traces in this area, and this trace may be the key to start the next stage of the task tracking program.

The medal mission is open to all players. In other words, before Jennifer and Anton arrived, dozens of people searched in the mission instruction area.The program group must ensure that it is relatively fair, or there are many such areas, or the stage trigger point will be set at a place where the players cannot be taken away or tampered with.

But are there any natural clues in the rainforest that can be preserved intact for two or three months?

No.

Think again about why the task tracking at this point is flexible. Even the delineated task area and clue yellow dots change over time. It is not difficult to deduce that there are many similar areas.This point may not have the trigger props they need, but the props detected by the system must be nearby.

If you figure out this joint, it will be much easier to find.

Twenty minutes later, Anton, who was walking towards the east, started the mission tracking first, followed by Jennifer who approached him.

The clue to open the next stage is in another dead city of spiders. Half of the spider webs hanging in mid-air are still empty, while the other half are busy and have not lost the favor of their masters.The two found a group of small spiders crawling on the ground under the empty spider web, and the team scattered all the way to a clump of weeds less than three steps away from the place where the giant bird-eating spider appeared.

Thinking about Richard’s accident, the guidance system was referring to the moving spiders stretching out from the weeds and haystacks. Who would have thought that there would be a giant spider squatting in front of the grass, and some players would be killed. It kicked the fur in the face.

While observing the traces, Jennifer and Anton carefully pushed aside the weeds with wooden sticks. Sure enough, they found a small spider that was weaving a web in the grass.All of them held their breath and concentrated, for fear of scaring the master away and making the mission impossible. They didn't expect that this spider couldn't use common sense to deduce it.It behaves in an extremely strange manner, turning a blind eye to the presence of predators.

"How strange," Anton murmured.

"I also find it strange." Jennifer was also thinking. "From the point of view just now, these spiders are really rare social spiders, but I have never heard of a social spider that half looks after the house and half moves."

"And they seem to be spinning webs," Anton added.He flicked the little spider lightly with a wooden stick, and both of them saw that the target didn't move at first, and then retreated a little defensively after a few seconds, as if waking up from a big dream.

"Could it be some plants that are affecting?" Jennifer made a guess.

"Not like." Anton shook his head.

They fell into silence, the clues were in front of them, but neither of them knew where to start.

While her teammate was gesturing on the half-knotted spider web with a knife, Jennifer was very cautious to connect with the spider, hoping to get some inspiration from the other party's emotions, and even if it was not good, she could explore the newly generated ability.

This was a first for her.

It's not that Jennifer thinks that insects have no consciousness, but because they don't know enough about this so-called "ability".She doesn't know what the source of this ability is, whether it has anything to do with nature, whether it has anything to do with this world, or whether it has anything to do with the reason why she travels through time and space, and she doesn't know the taboo of using this ability.

Judging from the situation when she first awakened, she and the snake exchanged perspectives. Not only can she see the world through the snake's eyes, perceive the snake's own emotions, but also control the poisonous snake to give up attacking and avoid.

Later, Jennifer tried to perceive with more animals, from other venomous snakes to puffer fish, and gradually figured out some rules.

First of all, animals with more developed brains can perceive emotions more clearly, that's for sure, but the less control they can get from them.Pufferfish can even emit the emotion of "reluctantly" when obeying commands, which makes people wonder what would happen if they tried to manipulate orangutans or killer whales.

Secondly, when people perceive, they can switch from a small amount to a complete consciousness.Although Jennifer's own cognition still occupies the top score, the animal's thinking will also affect her during the swap.This is like the Animagus in Harry Potter. If the change takes too long, or the changed individual is too low-level, no one can guarantee what will happen.

Now she only dared to perform the minimum perception, but the result of perception was nothing.

Jennifer frowned slightly.

She took the risk and used her mind to increase her perception, but there was still nothing.

It has no emotions, no thoughts, and even the most basic fluctuations of living beings. It is completely a near-dead thing.But this "dead thing" was clearly still moving back and forth under the noses of the two contestants, and could even wave its forelimbs to warn and weave large spider webs.

hell

"Let's catch it." Jennifer said decisively.

She had a firm attitude, and Anton had no better way, so the two hit it off and used the safest method to trap the spider with sticks and blades of grass, and then cut it open in the experimental spirit of "dissect when in doubt" body of.

Sure enough, after a few knives, there will be an abnormality "It's empty."

The entire upper part of the spider's body was in a mess, and the viscous fluid that should have been there had dried up, and almost nothing flowed out.If the first half was bad enough, the second half is downright bad as hell.There is a large group of strange-shaped objects in the spider's lower abdomen, which is attached to the spider's body, like a parasitic egg, like

a chrysalis.

Judging from Anton's expression, he almost threw up on the spot.

"What the hell is this?" the contestant from Romania yelled, "What's wrong with this spider? Did I miss it or is there really something burrowing into its body? Don't say we discovered a new species, this new species And fucking keep the larvae in the body, and feed the larvae with the flesh and blood of the adult."

"You didn't miss it, but you also thought too much." Jennifer ruthlessly dismissed his thoughts.

She understood as soon as she opened the spider's body.

After the natural counterattack in the previous life, humans have also seen animal parasitism. They lay eggs in other animals, feed their young with the flesh and blood of the other animals, and finally break out of their shells.Even in this world, there are animals that can eat flesh and blood from the outside, such as leeches and mites, and animals that can eat flesh and blood from the inside, such as parasitic catfish.

The spider lurks, or rather hosts, a chrysalis-like larva that has emptied the spider's interior, leaving behind only a corpse-like husk.I don't know what force is driving this body, so that it can still move, warn and make a net under such extreme circumstances.

What is the "fearless swarm", how can there be fear

These spiders have long since turned into walking dead.
