Bone Sculptor
Chapter 9: Save people
Ann can understand the language of some animals, but do microorganisms really have this kind of expression ability?
Ann also found that these good fungi survive in the air for a short time, about less than half a minute from emergence to extinction. The human body has become a breeding ground for them. They come to this world through breathing, and then begin to find a "home" suitable for them to live in. If it is not found, it will disappear completely.
But how did they form in the first place? There should always be a source.
An Yi walked to several unconscious people, opened their clothes, and saw that many bruises appeared on their skins, which looked like blossoming flowers.
"This is not an ordinary ecchymosis," Milos said. "Ordinary ecchymosis has no regularity and a specific shape."
Ann also agreed.
"Don't you have a clue?" Milos looked at her.
An Yi did not nod or shook his head, just staring at his left wrist.
Milos followed her sight and saw the bone bead hanging on her wrist. He raised his hand, then moved for a while, and suddenly said, "That's it, the reason why I haven't been affected by that scent is because of this bone bead!"
He looked at An Yi, with a strange light reflected in his golden pupils, as if he wanted to study her thoroughly.
An Yi was accustomed to him, and during this time he liked to analyze her with his eyes when nothing happened. Even if this analysis has no effect at all, he still enjoys it.
Ann also found that Milos was enveloped in a faint mist of light. If it were not in a dimly lit tent, she might not have noticed it. From this point of view, the Sanskrit prayer beads should have the function of eliminating germs and dust. After having the Buddha beads, An Ye definitely suspected that Milos was now absorbing the air fresher than others.
"Can this kind of bone beads save them?" Milos asked.
An Yi shook his head. These fungi have obviously parasitized in their bodies, and the Buddha beads are probably not strong enough to be directly used as an antidote.
I am a good fungus, I am a good fungus, I am a good fungus... The voice is still reverberating around Anyi, which is very brainwashing.
Good fungus...Where is it? You are actually viruses and fungi!
I am a good fungus...I am a good fungus...I...I am a virus...I am a viral fungus...I am a viral fungus...
Has something strange happened? Her thoughts just now were actually received by them? And it automatically converts good fungi into virus fungi. Don't be too strong in this kind of learning ability!
I am a viral fungus... I am a viral fungus... Anyi has a black line on his face: No, you should be a good fungus!
No, I...we are virus fungus...we are...we virus good fungus...
Well, you are viruses and fungi... An Yi felt as if there were countless ducklings waiting to be fed screaming in her ears. As a kind of creature that is harmful to humans, is it really good for you to be so cute?
Milos didn't know that An Yi was in a mess. He pondered for a moment, then turned and walked out of the tent. An Yi followed, but the fungus also followed. Because they didn't survive long in the air, the front disappeared, and the back top extended to three meters outside the camp, and they couldn't go any further.
An Yi looked back and received this creature's strong desire for business. They long for survival, long for evolution, long for wisdom...
"Admiral Milos, someone fainted again!" A man ran over to Milos in a panic and reported.
Someone fainted again? Milos looked solemn, and none of the last four soldiers were spared, all of them were recruited, including his own soldier Omo. In the entire camp, there were only three sober people left, Milos, An Yi, and Researcher Nadine.
He has clearly quarantined all the unconscious people, why is it still contagious? Milos was puzzled.
"Major General Milos, will we soon become like them?" Nadine's slightly horrified voice came into Milos's ears.
Milos had a meal first, then suddenly turned his head, staring sharply at Nadine.
Nadine was staring at him and his back was chilled, and he asked nervously, "What's the matter?"
"Did you smell any scent?" Milos asked.
Nadine shook his head.
"Then other researchers have said that they smelled the scent?" Milos' thoughts gradually became clear. He has bone beads to protect him, and An is not a human being. It is understandable that they are not affected, but why didn't Nadine smell the fragrance? The people who first became ill were all researchers, and Nadine, as the first person who came into contact with them, is still safe and sound.
Nadine's heart moved, and he quickly replied: "Yes! Just at lunch today."
"Tell me things carefully."
Nadine then described to Milos the process of showing the plant to everyone at that time and the scene where they mentioned the aroma.
"Take me to see that plant." Milos soon realized that the plant Nadine was talking about was probably the source of the disease.
Nadine took out the storage box and let Milos check it.
Milos looked at it for a while and said to Nadine, "Can you analyze the characteristics of this plant in a short time?"
Nadine wondered: "I'm afraid it won't work. We only brought the basic equipment, so we can't carry out in-depth tests."
"Did anything special happen to you in the process of collecting this plant?"
Nadine thought for a while and took off his gloves. Milos saw a small red spot on the back of his hand. Before he could ask, Nadine made a questioning voice: "Huh? When did this red spot appear?"
Milos asked strangely: "You don't know the existence of erythema? Then what are you doing with your gloves off?"
Nadine turned pale and said, "When I collected it before, I peeled a vermilion fruit to see its fleshy quality. As a result, the juice accidentally leaked into the glove, but there was no abnormality on the skin, so I It is preliminarily believed that this fruit is edible."
He stared at the plants in the box in a daze, and said tremblingly: "Could it be that what happened today is all because of me?"
"Don't rush to the conclusion." Milos's calm voice was soothing, "If this kind of plant is the source of infection, why did you not have an accident if you were directly exposed to the sap, and other people just took a look and it happened?"
It's very simple. The real source of infection is not this plant, but Nadine, which became the parasitic mother because of the juice of vermilion.
An Yi stared at the good fungi constantly exhaling from Nadine's nose and mouth. This time he did not receive any information from these fungi. Obviously, the fungi that grew from the mother's body did not have real consciousness. They will only evolve after the second parasitism. Inferring from the situation just now, after they parasitize ten times a hundred times, it is very likely that they will evolve into more advanced creatures.
While Milos and Nardin were talking, An Yi picked up the plant. Did it breed that strange microorganism?
"Sergeant Andasuka, put it down quickly, and be careful." Nadine caught a glimpse of An Yi's movements and hurriedly reminded him.
Not only did An Yi not put it down, but crushed a vermilion fruit, and the bright red juice immediately flowed down his fingers.
"Sergeant!" Nadine raised his voice and shouted, then quickly took out the disinfectant, intending to clean the juice from his hands.
"Don't be busy, let her play." Milos stopped aloud.
Let her play? Can this be played casually! Nadine's face was blue and white.
Milos stared at An Yi. He thought that no one in Totas knew the planet better than her, so he paid close attention to her every move and valued the information she provided.
An Yi stared at the juice on his fingers and found a strange phenomenon in surprise. The fungus that Nadine exhaled, as if attracted by something, all poured into the juice. Get into it a little bit. As they merged, the originally flowing juice gradually solidified, and finally turned into a crystal-like substance, which was crushed into powder by pinching it by hand.
Is this sap both the breeder and the terminator of good fungi?
An Yi looked at Milos, who asked keenly, "What do you want to do?"
An Yi raised the plant in his hand, then got up and walked out of the tent.
Milos followed without a word.
Once again, walking into the tent where the unconscious people were concentrated, the fungi immediately surrounded An Yi.
We are viruses and fungi, we are viruses and fungi... From these repeated messages, An Yi vaguely heard different meanings, as if saying hello.
Well, we are viruses and good fungi. An Yi also responded, and then immediately received various emotional fluctuations similar to excitement, curiosity, and happiness.
An also felt that their cognition was probably influenced by her, which caused them to evolve in a short period of time.
It's a bit like educating children... An Yi was in a complicated mood, and suddenly she couldn't bear to destroy them. They can only survive in the world for 30 seconds, but now she even has to deprive them of this short 30 seconds, just because their evolution will endanger human life.
An Yi walked to a comatose person and fed him the crushed vermilion juice.
Milos just watched quietly, but didn't stop. Nadine was left out of the account by him. If he was there, he would definitely stop An Yi. After all, this plant has not been tested, and I don’t know what the consequences will be after eating it.
An Yi is also bold, experimenting directly with living people. If Milos knew that she was not sure of saving people at all, I didn't know what the reaction would be.
One person stood by the bed and waited. After a while, the spots on the unconscious person seemed to be withering, gradually dispersing, and finally disappeared completely. At the same time, no fungus exhaled from the snout of the comatose person, and no other fungus chose him as a parasite.
There was joy in Milos's eyes, and he cast a grateful look at An Yi with restraint. This time, I owed her again, and I would have to repay it desperately in the future.
Although the species was different, Milos felt that she was really pleasing to the eye as she looked at it.
The number of Zhu Guo is small, only enough to treat five people. Milos immediately called on Nadine and went to the forest to gather more vermilion fruits.
When they walked away, An Yi stayed alone in the quiet camp, suddenly thinking that now seems to be the best time for her to leave...
