Byron's Blade

Ghost flies belong to the fire-type Zerg race.In the exploration of the Zerg, people gradually discovered its internal laws and some special attributes of individuals and groups. When classifying, they divided the Zerg into six categories, namely the five elements - gold, wood, water, fire and earth, plus No attributes, also known as special Zerg.

At the beginning of his return, Mu Li was attacked by a berserk earth dragon, which belonged to the earth-type Zerg.The giant stinkbug encountered on the bank of the Rab River, as well as the Quest fly encountered before, belong to the water system Zerg.

In addition to Zerg, there are many harmful creatures in this world.In addition, it can be divided into two categories, one is mutant people, and the other is mutant beasts.The mutants are the predators that Mu Li is very familiar with, the spider-like predators, and the mantis-like predators. In fact, they are all new species that emerged after the fusion and mutation of the Zerg and the human body.In fact, mutants are divided into three levels, which are commonly known as third-level to first-level predators.This classification is not based on strength or weakness, but on the basis of the complete degree of perversion.

The first-level predators can hardly see the human form. Generally, they are huge, ugly and curious, not necessarily strong, but for humans, the impact of appearance is relatively large. So far, the types of first-level predators have not been fully counted.

The second-order predators are lower than the first-order predators. They are also called intermediate predators. They retain more human body forms and often appear in groups.Moreover, they generally have the ability to fight in groups, among which there is a command brain with a higher IQ. Although the attack power of a single target is not as good as that of a first-level predator, it is often more difficult to deal with.

The third-level predator is the creature that people fear the most at the beginning of the end of the world.The parasites generally prefer to parasite the brain of the human body, because for the parasites, information is the nutrient, and without information, it is tantamount to death.The task that the parasites need to complete throughout their life is to collect information, and pass it back to the highest-level female brain through the internal structure of the parasites.The human beings parasitic on the brain of the parasites will lose the thinking and judgment that a normal person should have, and become walking corpses, biting their companions, splitting and spreading the parasites, and gradually expanding the control of the Zergs on humans.

In other words, the third-level predators are the zombies that once terrified people.

But a hundred and a half years after the end of the world, there are almost no third-level predators. There are two main reasons. One is the disappearance of parasites, and the other is the great reduction in the number of humans that can parasitize.

Parasitizing humans is the first choice, if not, the next best option is to choose animals as parasites.Zerg in the natural world is generally preferred, because of the large number and the highest degree of fit.Followed by fish, amphibians, reptiles, and some animals with relatively low biological levels.For example, the "Kunlong" before was probably this kind of mutated creature.Mammalian parasitism is the last choice, because the compatibility between Zerg and mammals is too low, and the success rate of parasitism will be extremely low.

This is another matter from parasitic humans.Although humans are mammals, because humans have extremely developed brains and strong genetic potential, the success rate of parasitism is almost 100%.

The reason for mentioning these is because now Mu Li and the others have encountered a special situation that they will hardly encounter outside.

A soldier was parasitized and turned into a third-level predator!

The soldiers who were parasitic belonged to the group of people who were chased by the ghost flies before. When the generalissimo led a large army to catch up, most of the soldiers had been burned to ashes by the ghost flies.There are not many ghost flies, and they have all died together with the soldiers.After investigating the remains of the corpse, it was found that three soldiers were missing, including Major Mike.

The Generalissimo's face was not very good-looking, and he began to use the radio to constantly remind the rear team to pay attention to safety. There were ghost flies and blood mosquitoes in the tunnel, and if they were not careful, they would die.

Blood mosquitoes are different from ghost flies, but the two have a special symbiotic relationship, so their territories are very close.After sucking blood, blood mosquitoes will feed it to ghost flies, and ghost flies are responsible for taking care of the larvae of blood mosquitoes.Where there are ghost flies, there are often blood mosquitoes.The blood mosquito is completely black, and when it flaps its wings, it can achieve silence.The body of the worm is very large, and can be the size of a swan.But the body is as light as paper, and the whole body has almost no weight.It has a retractable abdominal cavity with a huge capacity, which is used to store flesh and blood.

When the human body is stared at by the blood mosquito, the blood mosquito will silently attach to the back of the human body, and then pierce the needle in the breath into the human skin with lightning speed, and the strong anesthetic will instantly paralyze the human brain nerves. Immediately afterwards, the blood mosquito will secrete a strong acid solution, which will flow into the human body and turn all the bones, internal organs, flesh and blood into a slurry, which will be quickly inhaled by the blood mosquito.The whole process does not take more than ten seconds, and a living person will become a thin human skin.

The vanguard led by Mike was the first to be attacked by blood mosquitoes, but because no one noticed, the team advanced into the territory of ghost flies with five people lost.In the end, the ghosts were angered, and the team was almost wiped out.

Qiu Zheng and the others merged into the team of the Generalissimo, and Mu Li was deeply relieved at the reunion of these people.No matter what, the few of them together have more confidence and greater strength.Now the people under the generalissimo are starting to lose money, which is a good situation.For them now, the primary goal is to use the current environment to get rid of the Generalissimo's control.

The generalissimo continued to lead the team forward at a very high speed. In order to get rid of the entanglement of the ghosts, they turned off the searchlights and walked lightly, but the pace of walking accelerated instead.Not long after, a technical officer under the Generalissimo suddenly reported:

"Marshal, the last drone has crashed."

"Understood, move on." The Grand Marshal didn't seem to care, but this was undoubtedly worse news.

After passing the territory of the ghost ling, they turned on the searchlights again and moved forward, and then saw a figure wandering over in the distance.Everyone was very vigilant. The light first shone on the man, and seeing the familiar sky camouflage combat uniform of the 180th Division, some soldiers thought it was the three missing soldiers who had returned.

But if you look closely, something is wrong. It's not three people, just one person, and the walking posture of this person is a bit too strange.The waist seemed to have no strength, the upper body was leaning back, and the legs were in a serious X shape, shaking every step three times, which was a bit exaggerated and funny.

"Headshot." The generalissimo's voice was very calm.

The soldier who was pressing the searchlight did so immediately, and the moment the white light shone on his head, the Generalissimo shot suddenly.The bullet from the heavy pistol/gun in his hand suddenly pierced the man's brain, and only heard the sound of the watermelon bursting open. Hades.

No, this man went to see Hades long before he was shot.

"There are parasites in here, be careful, someone is infected." The generalissimo looked at the scene of brains flying in front of him, as if he was watching a routine, his feet in big leather boots just stepped on the brains across the ground.

When Mu Li and the others approached, what they saw was the most realistic and high-definition picture of the corpse, not the ridiculous pictures in the textbooks in class.The head of the corpse was almost completely blown away, but the chin and a small section above the cheek remained.It could be clearly seen that the swollen paw sac burst open and was bleeding pus, and the burst flesh was white and bubbling, making her extremely nauseated.

Mu Li, Lan Ni, Qiu Zheng, Lin Zhao, who have seen all kinds of bloody scenes, couldn't help turning pale, and He Yingning retched, and only Alita would be interested in collecting them. Take the minced meat back and study it.Of course, Andres' soldiers would not give her the opportunity to collect these things.Alita could only walk forward with a disappointed look on Zooey's back.

"Let me tell you, if you dare to collect such ghost things, I will definitely leave you here alone." Zooey said fiercely.

"Hmph, pighead, I don't understand the importance of scientific research at all." Alia sneered at Zoe's threat.

"Where is your scientific research? You are purely out of some kind of appetite." Zoe said.

Qiu Zheng looked back at Zoe in front of him, and gave you a look of truth.Zoe smiled wryly, and thought to herself: Boss, why don't you recite it instead?

But seeing the boss hugging He Yingning tightly and not letting go, she still gave up.

The company encountered parasitic soldiers twice in the front, which was exactly the same as before.These parasitic people will have their heads very fragile, lose their vision, and wander in the dark with their extremely keen sense of smell and hearing.When it smells a person's breath, it will immediately attack maniacally.The last one to appear was Major Mike, who was shot and knocked to the ground by Rudolph mercilessly.Rudolph stepped on his corpse and continued to move forward without turning his eyes. When Mu Li, who was following behind, passed by Mike's corpse, he shook his head slightly and sighed.

After that, Rudolph stopped to check the map. Because of the lack of drones, he could only draw a three-dimensional layout map in his mind based on the information he had received before.He stood in the middle of the tunnel, hesitated and thought for a long time.

Then he pointed to the wall on the right, circled an approximate area with his finger, and said to the soldiers accompanying him:

"Dig this piece of the wall."

The two soldiers put the guns in their hands behind their backs, then took out the engineering shovel from the tool bag on their waists, and began to work together to dig through the wall in front of them.

When a shovel went down, the clods of soil collapsed and fell, and suddenly, from the gap in the inner layer, a strange bug that was crystal clear and transparent, like an ancient trilobite, burst out. The size of a small finger, with lightning-like agility, followed the shovel to climb onto the soldier's arm in the blink of an eye, and then burrowed into the soldier's arm.Afterwards, the soldier could be seen wriggling strangely, and the worm went all the way up along the blood vessels and major arteries, and got into the soldier's brain almost instantly.

The soldier screamed in horror at first, the engineer shovel fell to the ground, and kept shaking his arms, but he couldn't stop the bug from occupying his brain at all.And it took less than two or three seconds for the brain to be swallowed. Everyone watched as the soldier's face began to change color, swell and turn white, and then many huge tumors bulged on his head, and the pus inside could almost be seen. See.The soldier died in a kneeling posture, and then stood up strangely in a kneeling posture, with a hair-raising "hehe" sound coming from his throat.

"Get out of the way." Rudolph said coldly, then raised his right arm and shot sideways, directly blasting the newly mutated soldier's head.

His so-called "get out of the way" means to get out of the way of those standing in the range of his shooting, but he shot without hesitation, flowing like lightning, obviously not caring who can't dodge in time to be affected.All the soldiers were sullen and anxious, not knowing when it would be their turn.

After killing the soldier, he clicked on Qiu Zheng and Mu Li:

"You two, come and hack this wall."

Another lucky soldier breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Li and Qiu Zheng met each other with a glance, and they both saw the look in each other's eyes.Of course, they were used to this kind of treatment, and they took the engineer shovel with a calm expression, and continued to dig the wall in front of them.

While digging the wall, Mu Li was thinking quickly.The mud inside the wall is inhabited by parasites, which is a very puzzling thing.The tunnel has been opened up and it can be explained that it was done by a large soil-type Zerg who likes to drill the soil, but this parasite feeds on information, and it won't last long if it survives alone.How could he survive for so many years in this desolate underground space?Unless the parasites that have just emerged are new worms that have just hatched.

Mu Li suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be that there was some kind of female worm specialized in producing parasites on the other side of the wall?

At the beginning, parasites continued to emerge, and Mu Li and Qiu Zheng were the first to bear the brunt, but because of the lessons learned from the past, the two of them had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before they were rushed by the insects, they directly shoveled them to death with a shovel, and almost let the flexible parasites go away many times. Take off, also broke out in a cold sweat.But in the end, the two had no danger and completed the task of digging the wall with difficulty.

When Mu Li's shovel hit some kind of metal with a "clang", inside the wall, a large iron door buried in thick soil was gradually cleared out, revealing its outline.

Rudolph smiled. He knew that he had finally found the precision instrument warehouse.
