Chapter 15: Not a simple blanket

(Thank you, Archbishop Artanis, for your comment. The word "friend" is really heartwarming. Thank you!)
A "chrysanthemum"-like thing wiggles in the lower abdomen, which is the top of the egg-laying organ of the alien queen. After the ovipositor grows, the alien eggs that Yunhai has personally experienced will spit out from the top of the "chrysanthemum".
However, this process is painful and long. The growth of the ovipositor is just like a woman’s labor pains during childbirth. This process lasts for six days.
It can be said that the queen has been enduring extreme pain all the time during these six days, even if it is not afraid, it does not care about it at all.
But the most important thing is that once the ovipositor grows out of the body, the alien queen can only stay in place, let alone fighting, just get up and leave a few steps, the ovipositor will be separated from the body.
This means that within three months, the alien queen can no longer grow the ovipositor and continue to multiply the alien eggs to grow the race.
Yun Hai naturally didn't want to see this happening. Everything had been told to him clearly that this world had completely collapsed, and if he wanted to survive, alien form was his greatest support.
The evolution of biology has made the natural law of the weak eat the strong, and only the fittest can survive.
Alien can adapt to any environment, even in a sea of ​​icebergs and fires, or even in a vacuum. On the earth, even in the light-speed evolution process of everything, Yunhai firmly believes that they will also stand on the cusp of evolutionary frenzy.
"It must be successful!"
Yun Hai waved his fist to cheer up, and started to look inside the cave.
This cave is so big that the light of the flashlight can't even shine on the edge, Yunhai retracted his gaze and looked at his feet.
The ground was covered with a large amount of black material, and Yunhai also knew what it was through the reminder of the general brain information that originated from the inheritance of genetic instinct.
The black gum gelatinous thing formed by the mucus secreted by this alien body is a blanket of bacteria.
The fungus blanket will remain active for a long period of time. It has unimaginable heat and moisturizing properties. It provides the queen's alien egg, the fastest growing environment and temperature.
Also, the secretion of mucus to form a blanket is not only the ability of the alien queen, but all aliens will secrete this mucus.
A certain number of aliens, a fungus blanket composed of secreted mucus, can even cover the entire cave.
The fungus blanket contains nutrients, or energy, and the alien queen in the fungus blanket can absorb the energy in it to supplement the weakness caused by egg laying.
Therefore, even if there is no food to replenish energy, as long as there is a fungus blanket, the Alien Queen can maintain a long period of continuous spawning work by absorbing the energy in it.
The mucus secreted by the body when laying eggs will form a blanket of bacteria, which is absorbed and discharged. This is completely a self-produced and self-sold circulatory system, which is extremely excellent.
The function of the fungus blanket is not only that, it also has another function, which is to sleep the host of the alien queen.
The Queen’s ovipositor takes a certain amount of time to grow. If the host it captured dies, the alien egg will grow at the fastest speed and face the embarrassment that there is no host to parasitize.
After all, compared to the alien form, even compared with the larval alien form, the face worm is still a bit weaker, and if there is no creature with a heat-sensitive body temperature, the face worm will generally not leave the egg.
Therefore, the sleepy host did not allow it to escape, and obediently accepted the parasitic worm, so as to give birth to the alien as soon as possible when the queen lays eggs and weakened.
In Yunhai's sight, the ground was already covered with black fungus blankets, and the large and small stone forests standing next to it were attached to giant cocoons of various sizes.
These are the hosts trapped in the bacteria blanket.
Intuitively, these weird fungal blankets are not just that, but the instinctive memory derived from genetic inheritance only tells Yunhai some of the most basic information. As to whether the fungal blankets have other functions, he still needs to explore.
At this time, he was not in the mood to consider these, and the excited Yun Hai looked at the results of the Alien Queen these days.
It is more mutant bamboo rats, after all, Yunhai did not rarely catch them in alien forms that night.
Yunhai found that these mutant bamboo rats were a little bigger than when they saw it that night, but considering that they have been captured by the queen for a few days, they have never eaten, and their giant mutation has not stopped.
The entire body was wrapped in a fungus blanket into a giant cocoon. Obviously, before the last appearance, the Alien Queen had taken many actions to capture the host, and forty-five mutant bamboo rats had their heads protruding outside the fungus blanket.
Some closed their eyes tightly and didn't know if they were dead or unconscious. More mutant bamboo rats struggled from time to time, but they couldn't get out of the blanket of bacteria.
There are also five mutant squirrels. They are a bit bigger than bamboo squirrels, but they still can't get rid of the fungus blanket. They are waiting for their fate with their heads uneasy.
Besides, it was a huge guy. Yunhai looked at it carefully with the light of a flashlight, and finally recognized it.
At first he thought it was a leopard, but he quickly recognized that the cocoon wrapped in this exceptionally huge cocoon turned out to be a rare bobcat on Yangshan.
Lynx is a folk name. The official name of this creature is lynx. Because of its cunning and cautious disposition, its speed is extremely fast and agile. At least in recent years, no one has heard of anyone in the nearby sea of ​​clouds.
A blood hole was pierced from the joints of the limbs. Yunhai estimated that it was only a cub. The adult bobcat breeds near Yangshan would have the soft hair like a collar under the neck turned black, and this huge bobcat "bib" is still It is milky white.
Of course, Yunhai is not sure whether the difference between the obviously mutated bobcat and the "bib" between juvenile and adult is still the same.
Based on the size of the cocoon, Yunhai inferred that the lynx cub's body length reached one meter away, but he could not imagine how big an adult lynx would be.
The Lynx was unconscious and didn't know what harm he had suffered. It seemed as if he had been splashed with sulfuric acid, and half of his face was gone.
The thick liquid flowing in the cave, Yunhai observed its condition and occasionally moved, apparently still alive.
These are the hosts that the Alien Queen found during this time. At this time, there is no big guy Yunhai in the back mountain. It is estimated that the queen has no way to trap them with a fungus blanket.
Otherwise, with its current size, speed and strength would naturally not be bad, it would naturally not be difficult to capture a few more fierce hosts back.
When growing the ovipositor, you can't move, and put a mutant beast around you that can't be completely controlled. It's no different from a time bomb, and the alien queen naturally won't do it.
"Any creature is the weakest when it lays eggs and gives birth. If mutant creatures discover and attack at this time, it shouldn't be a problem for the queen to resist. It's just that, all previous efforts will be lost."
Yun Hai became more excited as she watched, and her heart became more nervous.
As long as an alien egg is successfully born, the worm will grow rapidly in the fungus blanket, and then let it successfully parasitize the host, even if it is a mutant bamboo rat, or a mutant squirrel with a similar head.
It only takes less than a day for the aliens to grow up quickly, and it will also capture more food and hosts for the alien queens, and the number of aliens will reach an appalling number in the shortest time. .
Yunhai fully believes that as long as there is enough time and enough hosts, the alien race will cover the entire earth.
The appearance of the alien egg on the earth was an accident, or a conspiracy that Yunhai could not touch at this level. He did not think about it at this time.
For him now, to live well, to grow the alien race in the shortest possible time, and then to go north to Qin Province to find the only relative in this world. These are what he needs to consider at the moment.
Just like standing in a rainy night, the Alien Queen was "sweating profusely" all over her body, and the slimy liquid dripped in the fungus blanket under her body.
Swinging the skull made another painful neigh, and the yellow spawning channel finally squeezed out of the lower abdomen of the alien queen, and a large amount of amniotic fluid-like mucus flowed out.
The "hissing" sound continued, and the most critical step in the growth of the ovipositor had just been completed, and the alien queen opened a huge kiss and let out a long breath of mist.
The gorgeous and weird skull was slightly offset, and the inner nest teeth in the mouth slowly stretched out, making a sharp scream at the back of Yunhai.
The queen's sharp neighing sound did not fall, and only a strong and dangerous aura came, Yun Hai's heart jumped and he turned around abruptly.
He stretched out his hand to pull out the eliminator that was inserted in the sheath around his waist, and at the same time the bright flashlight shone through.
Just a glance, Yunhai's scalp numb, goose bumps all over his body, his whole body is like countless itching bugs crawling.
A centipede appeared on the ground tens of meters away. He was born with an inexplicable aversion to this multi-legged insect. At this time, when I saw the mutated it, Yunhai was very uncomfortable. I can’t wait to take the iron brush Brush it on the skin hard.
It’s not clear how long this kind of insect with walking feet is the largest. Yun Hai occasionally saw centipedes measuring about 20 centimeters in the mountains before, but compared to the one he saw now, the longest ones before Not as good as it.
The back is red and black, the steps are yellow, and the palatine teeth at the front of the head are inverted, which are particularly sharp under the strong light of the flashlight.
The tail is more exaggerated, it looks like two curved blades, and the top is sharp.
The length of the centipede is estimated to be at least about one meter. The running speed of the centipede is very amazing. The palatine teeth waved gently, and the moment the strong light from the flashlight passed, it suddenly stopped its steps.
It just paused for a moment, in the eyes of Yunhai's shrinking pupils, the mutant centipede suddenly accelerated and ran towards this side.
