Chapter 897 Insect Mother
Obviously, Schacht's research on dealing with spirit insects is the cruel and domineering "corpse-eating insect" outside!
According to Schacht, this insect was originally just a carnivorous insect outside. Although it was rare, it was not very special. After being brought into this Yingzhou space, Schacht genetically modified the corpse-eating insect based on the characteristics of the spirit insect, thus forming this terrifying state now.
You should know that the biggest feature of spiritual insects is actually having independent consciousness, which is actually a special manifestation of mental power. In contrast, corpse-eating insects are like zombies among insects, and they don’t care about things like mental power at all.
Just like the storm here is equivalent to the impact of mind power? It kills all living things in the surface of the earth or above the water surface, but it cannot kill the corpse-eating insects because the corpse-eating insects are completely immune to this kind of thing. Judging from this characteristic, it really means a bit confrontation with the spirit insects.
Schacht recorded in his notepad that this insect had a significant restraint on the spirit insects he cultivated. Whenever this corpse-eating insect and the spirit insect faced each other, the spirit insect would tremble and fear, which was like a manifestation of the mutual restraint between the upper and lower parts of the food chain.
But Schacht also said that the so-called restraint is mutual. If the level of the spirit insect is high and the corpse-eating insect is in his childhood, the spirit insect will restrain the corpse-eating insect.
For example, the spirit insects and corpse-eating insects are divided into the levels of insect soldiers, insect generals, insect kings and insect kings. Then the corpse-eating insect kings can restrain the spirit insect generals, and the spirit insect kings also restrain the corpse-eating insect generals, and so on. Under the same level, corpse-eating insects seem to have some advantages.
This actually seems to be a lion and a tiger. The strength of the two tribes is roughly the same. Whoever grows older is stronger. Little lions are afraid of big tigers, and small tigers are also afraid of big lions.
Being able to study to this level is already quite amazing!
You should know that the spirit insects are very terrifying in the outside world, so how can they have any natural enemies? It is of course not easy to find an opponent of such a guy now.
However, this thing can only be specifically targeted at the spirit insect body. If the spirit insect has controlled humans or dark species, then a corpse-eating insect will still be difficult to deal with it. Although it will cause the spirit insect to have an instinctive fear, it will still use the powerful strength of the host to kill the corpse-eating insect when fighting.
As for how to control corpse-eating insects, Schacht has studied a method, which is to make the human and the heads of corpse-eating insects develop a "blood alliance", that is, to use the blood of the human host and use a certain special agent to control the heads of corpse-eating insects - the mother of worms!
Once the insect mother is controlled, all the other corpse-eating insects will bow their heads to the order, because they are all eggs laid by the insect mother, that is, the insect mother's son!
What a good guy, your fertility is so perverted. You should know that there were more than 10,000 insects outside who just chased Chen Taiyuan. These were all eggs born by a mother insect!
Because Schacht said that he only cultivated one insect mother, because the existing resources could not cultivate a second head. This so-called resource is a mineral extractant specialized in the Yingzhou space. However, this mineral is very difficult to find, and until Schacht died, he only got a little more. The extra one was only made three special medicines to establish a blood alliance between humans and insect mothers.
Therefore, there is only one mother insect, and ordinary insects do not have the ability to regenerate, so all the corpse-eating insects here are the sons of mother insects.
But this also brings a problem - I'm afraid this insect mother will be the only one in the world, because the mineral extractant required to make the insect mother is unique to Yingzhou space, and this space is about to collapse...
As for this insect mother, it was the one observed in the report pressing under the corpse of Shaht, as big as a bowl that was buckled. No wonder it was so big that it turned out to be the mother of all the insects.
Moreover, the insect eggs are very small. They can lay thousands of eggs every time, each of which is smaller than rice grains, and are densely packed. This insect egg grows very fast. As long as you have enough food, you can grow to half a ping-pong ball in one week. This scale is also the general adult state of ordinary corpse-eating insects, after all, they do not have the characteristics of insect mothers.
What's even more serious is that the egg laying speed of the insect mother is also amazing. As long as she lets her give birth and gives it enough food, it can lay eggs once a week! There are thousands of insect eggs at a time, and after two months, it can be said to be "full of descendants"... When Chen Taiyuan thinks of this number, his scalp becomes numb.
He continued to look through the notebook and found that until Schacht died, the mother of insects had only laid eggs twice. The ones that were born this time were locked in a glass cover, densely packed with more than three thousand heads, all in the laboratory on the left.
The second time he gave birth was still ovate, with 250,600 heads. However, the day after the laying, Schacht was blown by a strong wind.
In other words, before Schacht died, the mother of insects had already given birth to more than 5,000 corpse worms! As for the next two months, if they were given birth once a week, each time was nearly 3,000... Damn it, wouldn't there be 30,000 corpse worms in this Yingzhou space?!
No wonder the bodies of everyone here disappear once they lie down, no wonder all the surface animals that originally existed here are gone, and their feelings are eaten up by these crazy guys.
However, to this day, there are no corpses or living creatures in the Yingzhou space. I believe the number of eggs laid by the insect mother should have been reduced, right? Even if it is laid, due to the lack of enough food, the eggs will not grow so quickly.
So Chen Taiyuan also suspected that the real number of zombie insects in Yingzhou space may not reach the theoretical limit of 30,000.
After knowing this, Chen Taiyuan understood the origins and outs of the spirit insects and the causes of the corpse-eating insects. However, once the corpse-eating insects are the natural enemy of the spirit insects, Chen Taiyuan naturally could not easily ignore them!
He looked through Schacht's notebook and found that Schacht had used a special potion to inject his blood into the body of the insect mother, so the insect mother would obey his orders. That's why even if Schacht died, he was not eaten, because the insect mother regarded him as his master, so he naturally did not allow ordinary corpse-eating insects to eat him.
This has proved the effectiveness of this control method - even if the owner dies, the insect mother cannot betray the "Blood Alliance". What a solid control power.
So Chen Taiyuan's eyes lit up - if he found the remaining two potions and then found the insect mother... I'll just take it away, wouldn't I have an army of corpse-eating insects immediately? Not only can he get rid of the troubles of corpse-eating insects, he can even take it out and become an important "troop force" to restrain the spirit insects!
In addition, although it is difficult to take out things in the special space, the insect mother is different. Shaht said that the insect mother is a bug that comes in outside, but it has become more powerful in the Yingzhou space. As for the cubs it has, it may also be considered an alien creature for the Yingzhou space? Is there something about "landing household registration" here? What kind of people know, just try it back and you will know.
In short, this guy named Zombie should be considered a great asset. Once you can get it, Chen Taiyuan will be developed!
After a while, Chen Taiyuan found the two special medicines in the refrigerator in the next room. After all, there was no movement here since Schacht's death, and the medicines were all placed in the same way.
However, due to the collapse of the space, the two bottles also became smaller. It is estimated that the dosage is only equivalent to the original one. It doesn’t matter, and I don’t expect to use it for a second time anyway.
In this laboratory, Chen Taiyuan also saw a big bottle, but the lid had been opened. Chen Taiyuan could guess that Schacht thought he could completely control the insect mother at that time, so he just ordered it to hide here and did not strictly control it. Once Schacht died, the insect mother would become a masterless monster and could naturally wander around.
Not only that, the insect mother even released both of her children, it must have been done! Chen Taiyuan saw that next to a large glass cabinet in the corner of the wall, the door was actually opened. The cabinet was closed by ordinary corpse worms, and Shaht and others were still closed when they died. Who would have opened it? It must be the insect mother.
From this, Chen Taiyuan also realized that the worm mother should not be taken lightly! It is different from ordinary corpse-eating insects because it already has a certain wisdom. Even it already has a certain emotion - knowing to save its children, and knowing not to devour its former master.
"It seems that it may not be easy to find this guy." Chen Taiyuan thought for a while and stuffed two potions into his pocket. "The biggest clue now is to find the previous batch of insects and find the insect mother through them."
The insect mother is equivalent to the ant king in the ant colony and the queen bee colony. Life is just to live in a pampered life, and the responsibility is to have children. Then the food it needs must be brought back by ordinary corpse worms, right? In this case, you should be able to find the insect mother by following the corpse worm route?
Of course, this will be a relatively difficult process. You may not be able to find the insect swarm when you are far away. If you are close, you are afraid of being bitten by the insect swarm.
At this time, he lifted Dr. Schacht's shrinking body, placed it in a large glassware, and covered it with a layer of curtains. In this environment, there is no need to bury it anymore. Maybe soon it will be destroyed as the world collapses, and the dust will return to the soil.
After doing all this, the rain outside began to decrease. Taking out an umbrella that had become smaller twice from the office, Chen Taiyuan stepped into the rain, and this time he began to take the initiative to find the insects. Of course, he had to pay attention to the methods, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
First, I returned to the underground secret room and talked about Schacht's affairs. At the same time, I handed over Schacht's notebook and laptop to the Great Elder. Of course, everyone was surprised, but they also had a certain understanding of the strange bugs.
Fear often comes from the unknown, and once you understand it, it is not that scary.
"So, when will I go back to the laboratory above?" Diana asked with a little discomfort. Although she was wearing that big helmet, although she would only encounter an impact in ten minutes due to the blockage of the stone cabinet, she was still very uncomfortable.
Not only was she uncomfortable, but even Chen Taiyuan and the Great Elder actually felt a little headache. No matter how strong a master was, he could not resist the impact of this mental power again and again.
