Pollution throughout the territory - #349 - Chapter 345 Breaking out of the cocoon
On the other side, in a dream.
“How come there are so many flowers popping up!”
Xia Ren frowned, his expression extremely ugly.
“These flowers are all the same, right?”
The housing agent also realized that the situation in front of him might have gone beyond Xia Ren’s understanding.
If according to what I just said, a flower represents a person’s dream, then how many people does the entire sea of flowers around me represent at this moment?
And no one calls them, these flowers bloom entirely on their own.
“What’s this?”
Niu Changshou pulled a nearby flower and saw a black insect cocoon about the size of a little finger lying inside the flower core.
He took the cocoon into his hand and couldn’t feel the weight, but with his fingers he found that the black cocoon was extremely hard, and could completely withstand even his strength.
When Xia Ren and the real estate agent saw this, they each looked for it among the blooming flowers nearby, and it turned out that there were actually some.
In addition, they also found that although the cores of these flowers did not disappear completely like those of Patient No. 3, they were also seriously missing and almost half of them were eaten away.
When observing the cocoon, you can see that the black hard shell on the surface has some kind of pattern similar to that of long strips of worms like earthworms.
Xia Ren opened his eyes wide: “This is… the cocoon of the protozoa that causes atypical entomophobia!”
He recalled Zheng Xinming’s last words before his death and mentioned the “six transformations”. According to normal understanding, the larva hatches, grows to a certain level, and then forms a cocoon and waits for pupation to be reborn, which can be counted as the first transformation. .
That is to say…
Xia Ren looked around. The sea of flowers was rippling in the wind. Every flower inside contained a cocoon waiting to pupate. This was… such a terrifying number!
And the larvae in the first stage can have such a great impact on people. If they wait until they enter the second stage…
Unthinkable.
“Can the cocoon be destroyed?”
Xia Ren asked the housing agent on the side and Niu Changshou.
The two tried it, shook their heads and said: “This cocoon is too hard, and we don’t carry any weapons with us.”
Xia Ren gritted his teeth. The system could not follow him here, and this world did not want to be like the dream constructed by Huang Qiuyuan, which allowed him to summon items out of thin air based on his imagination, so there was nothing he could do with the insect eggs.
Since the cocoon cannot be destroyed, then directly destroy these flowers…
But these flowers reflect everyone’s dreams in reality. If they are destroyed, I don’t know what impact it will have on people in reality.
“do not care!”
Xia Ren is determined, even if it causes the death of people in reality, he will definitely do everything possible to prevent the cocoons from hatching. If these rushes successfully transform into the second stage, the number of people who will die may double!
“Destroy the flowers!”
He loudly reminded the real estate agent and cows to live longer, and then he took the brunt of it and began to frantically destroy the flowers around him, including the one belonging to Patient No. 3.
Although these flowers are relatively large, each one more than one meter high, their stems and leaves are extremely fragile. Basically, their main stems can be broken by just breaking them with your hands.
Although fluorescent liquid can be seen flowing inside the stems and leaves of the flower, when it is destroyed, it immediately disperses like smoke and dust in the wind, leaving no trace.
Xia Ren took big steps, using his hand as an axe, and began to sweep towards the flowers around him, and soon cleared a small blank area.
Real estate agencies and Niu Changshou also follow the same example.
However, even if the three of them worked together, facing this vast sea of flowers, it was still a bit insignificant.
While they were frantically sweeping, those black cocoons quietly changed.
“Click!”
A subtle sound reached Xia Ren’s ears, like the sound of an egg shell cracking.
Then, the sound suddenly became denser, and it was filled with this sound from all directions.
Xia Ren stopped and bent down to pick up a cocoon that fell to the ground because the flower disappeared.
There was a crack on the surface of the cocoon, and through the crack, a dull yellow object could be vaguely seen stirring inside.
“It’s over.”
Xia Ren’s mood instantly fell to the bottom.
What they just did did not hinder the hatching of the cocoons.
Seeing him stop, Niu Changshou and the housing agent looked at each other, picked up the cocoons on the ground, and saw the same situation.
The cocoons are about to hatch, and there are so many of them together…
A deep sense of powerlessness lingered in everyone’s hearts. They tried everything they could, but there was no way to stop it.
Xia Ren took a deep breath and stared at the cocoon in his hand.
The black hard shell is indestructible from the outside, but when applied force from the inside, it is as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and finally, the black hard core cracked a long line from the middle, splitting in two, revealing the creature inside.
It is like a large moth, with a dry yellow color. It has no eyes and no mouth. The top of its head does not have dry tentacles like ordinary insects, but is covered with several fleshy tentacles, like It’s the snake’s tail.
Xia Ren saw a mouthpart covered with fine teeth hidden among the tentacles, which should be its mouth.
Except for the head, the other body parts of this insect are not very special. The only thing that attracts attention is its pair of wings. When it spreads its wings, its body becomes larger than the fist of an average adult male.
After observing for a while, Xia Ren took his palm and crushed the insect to death.
Without the protection of the black hard shell, their bodies are not much stronger than ordinary bugs.
But although he could crush one or two to death, his impact on the insect swarm was minimal.
Countless bugs emerged from their cocoons and lay on the flowers. They stretched their wings, then flickered slightly and flew into the sky.
Xia Ren and the others could only watch helplessly. The insects were like a flock of migrating birds, gathering together in an orderly manner, forming a withered yellow dark cloud, flying, and suddenly disappearing into the sky without a trace.
After they flew away, the entire sea of flowers quickly withered and withered, revealing the original land.
“Tell me, where did they go?”
Niu Changshou’s expression was dull, but he actually already had the answer in his heart.
…
…
In reality, at the entrance of the hospital.
The mountain of meat has been stacked with people’s bodies to a height of at least fifteen meters.
At such a height, people at the bottom of the meat mountain don’t know how much pressure they have to bear, and they may even have been squeezed into meat patties.
People from the Foundation and the Superman Association stood on the edge. The highest-ranking people on the scene were the B-class investigator housing agent and the plague scholar Niu Changshou. However, they were all in their dreams at the moment and could not see this scene.
Without their orders, no one would dare to act rashly in the face of thousands of lives.
“This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”
The hospital director took off his glasses with trembling hands and wiped the sweat from his face.
Li Wan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know how many people will die from this.”
Before they finished speaking, the mountain of meat in front of them suddenly stopped.
No one rushed up, and those who were already on top no longer made any movements. Everything seemed to stop for an instant, as if the network connection was interrupted, and it was so sudden that no one could accept it.
As he got closer, a voice like chanting echoed in the night.
They raised their heads and saw a yellow moth about the size of a fist flying out from the heads of the people on Roshan Mountain. The moths seemed to have no body and did not cause any visible impact on the bodies of those people. It was as if It’s like a projection from another world, full of illusory texture.
At this time, Roshan looked like a huge ancient tree that had survived into autumn, and the moths looked like mature dead leaves. When the wind blew, they detached one after another and drifted into the distance in groups.
“Where are they going? What are they going to do!”
