Many biological laboratories are generally built on underground floors, especially those built in cities, because this can avoid endangering others in case of accidents, and underground laboratories are much better sealed.

Xu Wei looked at the finished product in the computer, and shouted to the communicator: "Nine Classics, please see if this data simulator meets your requirements."

"Wait a minute, I'm done with what I have in hand."

"Okay, don't worry, be careful and take your time."

You Hongyin was dissecting the metamorphosis, and now it's not easy to catch the metamorphosis in its entirety, and You Hongyin did it himself.

He discovered before that these parasites need nutrition to grow, so they not only prey on humans, but also certain animals are within their hunting range, but they do not parasitize those animals, they rely on the host's body to survive, and sometimes absorb the host's body The nutrients in it, but not too much, know very well what is called their own things to take good care of.

At the same time, he once dug out a parasitic organism in a relatively complete way. This kind of thing will die very quickly once it leaves the host. Because there is no energy storage organ, all their bioenergy comes from the host, and the host absorbs energy through eating.

These puppets are not invincible. After becoming the living dead, although they are not afraid of most physical damage, the whole body becomes easy to burn due to lack of water, so they are not fireproof.Then since they don't set fire, how do they use meteorites from outside the sky to enter the human body after going through such terrible friction and high temperature.

You Hongyin understands that this answer requires finding an extraterrestrial meteorite to solve the mystery.

However, unraveling their origins does not have much effect on the current human beings. The most important thing at present is how to eliminate them, and eliminate them without any problems.

The reason why You Hongyin called those undead with higher speed, strength, and even higher body hardness as transmuters was because the appearance of these undead was quite different from that of normal people.

It's like changing from a white chicken to a gorilla.

Therefore, on the one hand, You Hongyin hoped to find the remnants of the extraterrestrial meteorite at that time, and on the other hand, he set out to capture new experimental subjects.

Compared with ordinary people, he may be a little stronger in terms of mental power. He has a natural intuition and can roughly feel where the puppet is hiding.So when doing the experiment, he directly cut the hidden part of the puppet worm.

The experiment was very dangerous. In the laboratory where they were located, there had been incidents where researchers were bitten by the puppets hiding in their heads and were bitten by their teeth. Almost no one thought that it was not the body lying on the experimental table that had to be guarded against. It is a head that has been chopped off.

After finishing the experiment, You Hongyin came to Xu Wei to see the data simulator he had built, because Xu Wei knew nothing about biology after all, so there were a few places where the data was wrong, You Hongyin slightly changed it Changed, and said: "Old Xu, you are good at it. I remember that you are a game maker, and you can actually make such a professional data simulation in a short period of time."

"It's okay, it's okay, the main reason is that the information you gave me is relatively complete, I can do it step by step, and it doesn't need to waste my brain. But, what is this data simulator used for research?"

"The production process and ethnic group status of puppet insects." You Hongyin operated and entered some parameters.

The growth and development process of a puppet worm appeared on the computer.

According to You Hongyin's guess, the puppet insects at the beginning were very tiny, like spores, and could not exist in the air for too long. They could only look for hosts like humans. Humanity.

They are not picky. They enter the flesh from the wounds on the human skin if they can. The wounds that cannot be found enter the body from the nasal cavity and mouth. They randomly find their own suitable places to grow roots. First, they absorb nutrients and grow, and then release certain substances. Kill the host brain.

"Originally, in this situation, it should be most convenient to parasitize in the brain, but it may be that in their genetic information, they were warned not to parasitize in the brain, so most of the living dead exploded their heads but couldn't kill them. In the current situation, there are very few puppets that parasitize their brains. Maybe the earth was not their first host, but some of the hosts they selected once discovered their parasitic rules, which almost caused the demise of their group. This kind of parasitic law." You Hongyin explained to Xu Wei while watching.

"That is to say, have aliens successfully resisted this kind of thing?" Xu Wei asked.

At this moment, the puppet worms on the computer have begun to spread throughout the host's body, and the nutrition in the host's body is no longer enough for it to grow. It begins to control the host to hunt and prey on other living people.

"The success of resisting is just a guess." You Hongyin replied casually: "There must be a certain substance in the human body that they need for growth, and this kind of substance is not available in other animals. In fact, since the catastrophe, I have been Think about what this substance is, but there is no big answer to this question so far."

The growth of the puppet worm gradually stopped, and it began to grow more tentacles, controlling the host more and more easily.

Xu Wei also saw something tricky: "Is this the process of the speed and strength of the undead gradually increasing? Because the puppet worms are controlling the host more and more precisely, the undead are slowly evolving."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Xu Wei looked at it very seriously, and the next step is the process of turning the living dead into a transformed person.

At this moment, the body of the puppet in the computer suddenly shrank, but its tentacles became thicker than before.

You Hongyin took out the transformed puppet worms that he had just dissected and placed in a glass bottle, and said: "They know how to hide themselves better, shrink their bodies, reduce the possibility of being killed unintentionally, completely transform their hosts through their tentacles, and transform into It's faster and more powerful than it is today."

Xu Wei asked suspiciously: "Then, how do they parasitize normal people by biting and scratching normal people?"

"In the mouth and hands of the living dead, the tentacles grown by the puppet insects are different. This part can break off by itself, enter the human body through blood alone, and then re-evolve into a puppet just like the plants grown from cuttings. Insects. These living dead are very measured when hunting. They not only have the instinct to eat, but also have the instinct to expand their group, so when they catch a living person, they will not eat him clean, but very restrained Eat a small part of it, and let the remaining body become the hatching place for the next companion." You Hongyin said.

Xu Wei shuddered a little: "They seem to be intelligent, and they are more restrained than humans."

"It's not wisdom, it's the instinct of survival." You Hongyin said.

"Then do you have a solution to the living dead now?" Xu Wei asked.

You Hongyin said: "The process of parasitism is irreversible. For people who have become living dead, I don't think we need to spend much effort to study the method to make them recover. Our goal now should be to study how to prevent being bitten. Those who are wounded and scratched are parasitized."

Xu Wei said, "Didn't you say that they are afraid of being exposed to the air?"

You Hongyin said: "It's just that the body of the puppet worm cannot be exposed to the air. Although the tentacles cannot be separated from the host, they will not lose their activity after being exposed to the air for a short period of time."

"I don't understand these either," Xu Wei patted You Hongyin on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I can't help you much." He looked at the watch in his hand, "Ah, it's getting late, we Let's go home. Grandma Gu said that she is going to buy a chicken today, and she is very eager to cook braised chicken, so I have to go back and start working."

You Hongyin recovered from his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile when he heard the words: "Chef Xu doesn't need to be humble, he's not helping grandma."

Xu Wei coughed and said, "Grandma Gu won't be happy if you talk like that."

The two talked and walked home.

Due to the shortage of fuel, Grandpa Gu has donated all the fuel at home to the army. In the safe zone, almost no one drives. Most of them walk, and some ride bicycles, which is very environmentally friendly.

Back home, Grandpa Gu was tending the garden and vegetable garden, and Grandma Gu was reading a book with presbyopic glasses on the porch.

It just so happened that Papa Gu also came back from the outside. Since the establishment of the safe zone, he simply entered the army's free training class. Currently training all day, he is ready to go out with the army to clean up the living dead when he passes the training.To be honest, there are not many survivors who are willing to join the army. Among them, there are relatively few young people. They would rather do some heavy work to support themselves than go out to take risks. On the contrary, some middle-aged people are willing to take risks and work hard.

And Mama Gu didn't come back until it was time to eat. She is now a non-staff member of the army's propaganda department. It seems that her sensitive and romantic feelings have long been lost by her. Not only her writing skills, but also her eloquence are getting better and better. stand up.

Gu Jiujing has been silent recently, not wanting to disturb You Hongyin's research, but seeing this scene at home, he still couldn't help discussing with You Hongyin: "I never knew that Dad was so brave , I didn’t know that my mother could be so eloquent.”

"Everyone will change with the environment and experience, which is normal." You Hongyin said.

"Although I feel that my family has changed a lot, I think they are very happy now." Gu Jiujing said.

In his heart, his mother's leaving without saying goodbye in his previous life was an eternal pain.If it is said that he hates the betrayers and bad people with malicious intentions, he is also full of remorse for himself. You Hongyin once asked him where the source of his resentment came from, and he only said his own hatred, but not Knowing his remorse, until today, seeing his family's current appearance, he gradually let go.

You Hongyin said: "Isn't this the ultimate goal of our efforts, there is no need to be too emotional."

Gu Jiujing couldn't help but smiled and said: "You are always like this, you only do it, you don't talk about it."
