Chapter 343 Breaking the Cocoon
On the other side, in a dream.
"How come so many flowers pop up!"
Xia Ren frowned tightly, his face looking extremely ugly.
"These flowers are the same, right?"
The real estate agent also realized that the situation in front of him might have deviated from Xia Ren's perception.
If, as I said just now, a flower represents a person's dream, then at this moment, how many people do the entire sea of flowers around me represent?
And no one has ever called them, these flowers are in full bloom.
"What's this?"
Niu Changshou pulled a flower next to him and saw a black insect cocoon about the size of a little finger lying inside the flower core.
He took the insect cocoon into his hand and couldn't feel any weight, but his fingers found that the black cocoon was particularly hard, and even his strength could completely withstand it.
Seeing this, Xia Ren and the real estate agent also looked for the flowers blooming next to them, but they actually found them.
In addition, they also found that although the cores of these flowers did not completely disappear like those of Patient No. 3, they also had serious shortcomings and almost all of them were gnawed away.
When observing the cocoon, you can see that there is a pattern on the black hard shell on the surface that is similar to the long strip worms like earthworms.
Xia Ren opened his eyes wide: "This is...the cocoon of the pathogenic organ of atypical phobia!"
He recalled the last passage before Zheng Xinming's death and mentioned the "six transformations". According to normal understanding, the larvae grow from hatching to a certain level, and then form cocoons and wait for the pupal to transform and reborn, which can be regarded as the first metamorphosis.
That is to say...
Xia Ren looked around and saw the sea of flowers rippling with the wind. Every flower inside parasitizes a cocoon waiting for the pupal to turn into. What a terrifying number!
Moreover, the larvae in the first stage can have such a great impact on people. If they wait for them to enter the second stage...
Unpredictable.
"Can you destroy the cocoon?"
Xia Ren asked the housing agency Wagyu Changshou next to him.
The two tried it and shook their heads and said, "This cocoon is too hard, and we don't carry any weapons."
Xia Ren gritted his teeth. The system could not come here with him. Moreover, this world didn't want to be a dream built by Huang Qiuyuan. He could summon some items out of thin air by relying on his imagination, so he had no choice but to take the insect eggs.
Since the insect 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 the people in reality.
"Don't worry!"
Xia Ren made up his mind that even if it would cause death in reality, he would definitely try his best to prevent the insect cocoon from hatching. If these people rush into the second stage of transformation, the number of people who die may increase exponentially!
"Destroy the flowers!"
He loudly reminded the real estate agent and Niu Changshou, and then he took the blame first and began to crazily destroy the flowers around him, including the one from Patient No. 3.
Although these flowers are relatively large and each plant is more than one meter tall, their stems and leaves are extremely fragile. Basically, they can break their main stem by just breaking them with your hands.
Although fluorescent liquid can be seen flowing in the stems and leaves of the flower, when it is destroyed, it immediately dissipates like smoke and dust in the wind without leaving any trace.
Xia Ren took a big step, and used his hand as an axe to sweep the flowers around him, and soon cleared a small blank area.
Real estate agents and Niu Changshou also follow suit.
However, even if the three of them worked together, facing this vast sea of flowers, it was still a bit insignificant.
While they were sweeping wildly, the black cocoons of insects quietly changed.
"Click!"
A slight sound came into Xia Ren's ears, like the sound of an egg shell cracking.
Then, the sound suddenly became dense, and this sound was filled with all directions.
Xia Ren stopped and bent down to pick up a cocoon of insects that fell on the ground because the flowers disappeared.
A gap was cracked on the surface of the insect cocoon. Through the gap, you could vaguely see the withered yellow objects moving inside.
"It's over."
Xia Ren's mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley.
Their behavior just now did not have any hindering effect on the hatching of the insect cocoon.
Seeing him stop, Niu Changshou and the real estate 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 together...
A deep sense of powerlessness lingered in everyone's hearts. They tried to do everything they could, but there was no way to stop them.
Xia Ren took a deep breath and looked at the insect calluses in his palm.
The black hard shell is indestructible from the outside, but it is as fragile as a piece of thin paper when it is used hard from the inside.
The cracks became bigger and bigger, and finally, the black hard core cracked a long line from the middle, splitting into two, revealing the creatures inside.
It is like a large moth, with a dry yellow overall color. It has no eyes or a mouth. Its head is not as dry as ordinary insects, but is covered with a few fleshy tentacles, just like the tail of a snake.
Xia Ren saw a mouthpiece full of fine teeth hidden among the tentacles, which should be its mouth.
Apart from the head, the other parts of the insect's body are not very special. The only thing that attracts attention is its wings, which makes it spread out and its body becomes larger than the fists of an average adult male.
After observing for a while, Xia Ren held his palm and pinched the insect to death.
Without the protection of the black hard shell, their bodies are not much stronger than ordinary insects.
But although he could kill one or two, his impact on the insect swarm was minimal.
Countless insects emerged from their cocoons and lay on the flowers. They stretched their wings and then flashed gently and flew into the sky.
Xia Ren and the others could only watch helplessly that the insects gathered together in an orderly manner like migrating birds, forming a ball of withered yellow dark clouds. As they flew, they suddenly disappeared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
After they flew away, the entire sea of flowers was quickly withering and withering, revealing its original land.
"You said, where did they go?"
Niu Changshou's expression was dull, and he actually had the answer in his heart.
...
...
In reality, at the entrance of the hospital.
The Roushan has been stacked by people with their bodies at least fifteen meters high.
At such a height, people at the bottom of the meat mountain don’t know how much pressure they have to bear, and may even be squeezed into meat pies.
The people from the Foundation and the Superman Association stand on the edge, and the people in the highest positions on the field are the B-level investigator housing agent, and the plague scholar Niu Changshou, but they are all dreaming at this moment and cannot see this scene.
Without their orders, no one dared to take action 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 his 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 because of this."
Before they finished speaking, the mountain of meat in front of them suddenly stopped.
No one rushes up, no one else is already on it, no longer makes any moves. Everything seems to be silent in an instant, like the network connection is interrupted, which is so sudden that everyone can't accept it.
As it approaches, a sound similar to a chanting echoes in the night.
They raised their heads and saw withered yellow moths about the size of fists flying out from the heads of people on the Meat Mountain. The moths seemed to have no entity and did not have any visible impact on the bodies of those people. They were like projected from another world, full of illusory texture.
At this time, the Meat Mountain was like a huge ancient tree that lived to autumn. The moths were like mature dead leaves. When the wind blew, they separated and drifted into the distance in groups.
