Chapter 293 A deadly hole card
What Qi Lin didn't explicitly say is that since this parasitic worm has the ability to kill people in reality in the virtual world, it is undoubtedly a very terrifying and special mutant creature.
If you can get some parasitic worms or unhatched eggs that have not yet been hatched, it will undoubtedly become a fatal trump card for Qi Lin.
Parasitic worms are the only thing Qi Lin knows that can "kill people" directly in the game, and the operation method is also very simple. As long as the opponent loses the ability to resist and commit suicide, and then directly throw the parasitic worms on the other party's face.
The rest of the things, this milky white flesh worm that is only the size of a finger, will solve everything.
To outsiders, the player who died in the game cabin was like a sudden heart attack and died. If he had not seen everything the other party experienced in the game, no one would know what the cause of this person's death was.
This method sounds as creepy as if it were a gu, and such a small worm is the "fatal Gu worm".
But then again, this thing is very dangerous. Using this parasitic worm to kill people is like playing with fire. If it is not done properly, it is very easy to cause fire to burn yourself.
Parasite worms are very fragile, but they are also very dangerous. Before this, Qi Lin must think of a way to safely get this worm out of the parasite's body and carry it with him.
It takes a lot of effort to ensure that the little bug can survive until Qi Lin needs it, and to ensure that it will not be backfired by the parasitic worms carried on it when it is relaxed.
First of all, Qi Lin must know the living habits of parasitic worms. Fortunately, after such a long battle with the parasitic worms, a considerable amount of information about parasitic worms in the intelligent brain database has also unlocked.
Qi Lin casually found an excuse to say that he needed to be alone for a while, but Ivan, who was a little upset at this moment, didn't care, and immediately signaled that Qi Lin could act freely.
Qi Lin casually found a room that was very close to the entrance of the fortification tunnel, and then turned on the built-in projector of the intelligent brain, and a clear picture was projected onto the yellow wall in the room.
This is a photo of a parasitic worm. The appearance of this insect looks very similar to a silkworm, but it is translucent throughout the body. The surface of the body is covered with a layer of mucus like egg whites. However, after the picture is enlarged, it shows another detail that is difficult to detect in the naked eye in normal conditions.
Under the mucus on the body surface of the parasitic worm, there are countless tiny villi. According to the information, these tiny "villi" will grow rapidly after the parasitic worm parasitizes into the host body, becoming the root-like filaments that Qi Lin observed with thermal vision before using heat.
The longest of these filaments can grow to more than ten meters long. Parasite worms not only rely on these tentacle-like filaments to control dead parasites, but also rely on these filaments to absorb nutrients from the parasites.
Since the parasitic worm body does not consume much energy, a body without decay can be parasitized for several years after special treatment - and after several years, this parasitic body that is regarded as the 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 enter a dormant state.
Parasitic worms are not necessarily social creatures, but when a large number of parasitic worms gather together, they can communicate with each other simply through a special pheromone, thus forming a social structure similar to that of humans.
Like when Qi Lin broke into Warehouse No. 9 before, the parasite wearing radiation protective clothing was a similar task as a "night watchman", while other parasitic worms were in a dormant environment.
Why dormant is very simple - although there are a large number of corpses stored in the No. 9 warehouse, 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 a nearly endless sleep until they die. However, Qi Lin appeared in front of these parasitic worms, and the fresh smell of flesh and blood made them realize that this was a new "host" and a new "food" - so the first batch of parasitic worms woke up, and these were the dozens of parasitic worms that Qi Lin saw at the beginning.
Later, the first batch of awakened parasitic worms discovered that there were more prey outside - the group of mutants awakened more similar people...
This is why Qi Lin and the others are facing more and more parasites. The life of the parasitic worms requires several host replacements, and the bodies sealed in Warehouse No. 9 are obviously unable to meet their needs.
While reading, Qi Lin quickly stroked his fingers on the smart brain screen, and the text information displayed in the projected screen was also scrolling rapidly.
As he was slashing, Qi Lin's fingers suddenly stopped and stayed above a line of dense texts.
"Finally found the life habits of parasitic worms-"
Parasitic worms prefer environments with extremely high radiation concentration. If they are placed in an environment without radiation, the tentacles on the surface of the insect body will gradually shrink and deteriorate. After losing these tentacles, they are just ordinary worms with high IQ. Although they can still kill the host, they cannot control the host's corpse and convert it into a parasite.
"No wonder these parasites didn't chase out the tunnel..."
After these tentacles degenerate, the parasitic worms are equivalent to being useless. As for the fact that they can still kill the host, even if an earthworm is put into the human brain, it can also kill people. However, without the tentacles that invade the nervous system, the parasitic worms only have pure physical means left to destroy the human brain. This method obviously cannot kill a player in the real world.
"So, these parasitic worms cannot be taken out? Once they are taken out of this tunnel, they will become an ordinary bug?"
Qi Lin frowned and murmured to himself, while his fingers continued to slash down—
"Is this document...? Could it be that these bugs - not mutated naturally?"
The picture at the bottom of the parasitic worm-related information attracted Qi Lin's attention. This is a photocopy of a secret document from the former Soviet Union. Most of the Russian language Qi Lin did not recognize it, but he understood the two words in the title.
