Chapter 291: brain death

"Aim at the head and shoot, the vital position is below the brainstem, and throw bullets on the faces of these parasites!" Qi Lin said loudly in English, and Ivan quickly repeated it in Russian.
Although I don’t know why the parasitic worms control the corpse, it’s clear that the corpse's skull that has turned into a pale paste-like brain has no function at all. Qi Lin also tried to attack the parasite’s brain with bullets before. no effect.
The function of the human brain is in charge of advanced functions such as hearing, vision, movement, language and emotion, but the brain of the parasite has been completely replaced by the parasitic worm in the body.
Parasitic worms are the brains of the parasites. Through thermal vision, Qi Lin can clearly see the surface of the parasitic worms, spreading many extremely long root-like filaments, some of which penetrate the parasite's cerebellum And the brain stem, partly entangled with the original spinal nerve of the parasite, all the way down, covering the entire spine.
The body of the parasitic worm is very fragile, but the entire skull that protects it is unusually hard.
Logically speaking, after a person dies, due to the gradual loss of calcium in the bones in the body, the strength of the bones will generally slowly decrease, but the parasites are completely different. Qi Lin suspects that parasitic worms can secrete a kind of The substance enhances the bone strength of the parasited corpse and makes the bone produce a change similar to petrification.
Although the 7.62mm bullet of ak47 can still penetrate the parasite's skull, it can only pass through. It is completely impossible to shoot a head into a rotten watermelon like on the battlefield of the old age.
Moreover, the biggest problem is that due to the size of the 7.62mm bullet, it is difficult to roll over the target body after penetrating the skull, while the small-caliber bullet, which causes a large-area cavity effect, cannot penetrate the parasite skull.
This requires very high marksmanship. Unless it can directly hit the parasitic worm hiding in the head, no matter how many bullets are spilled, it will not be able to completely kill a parasite.
These mutants have only received the most basic shooting training. In actual combat, at a distance of 50 meters, it is very rare to be able to shoot bullets on the parasites, not to mention the small heads, and they hit the heads. It's not necessarily the type, but it needs to accurately hit the parasitic worm in the head.
A person with a height of 1.8 meters, from a distance of fifty meters, is not as high as a fingernail of a thumb, and the head on his shoulders is not even as large as a crosshair.
Noisy gunshots continued to sound, and two types of brass and iron cartridge cases were scattered all over the floor. However, few parasites fell.
There is also a scene that made Qi Lin even more shocking-a mutant who was seriously injured and fell to the ground. Two parasites dragged their legs to the past, and then another parasite held the head of a parasite whose neck was broken. In front of the mutant, within a few seconds, the milky white parasitic worm crawled out of the nostrils of the parasite's head and quickly penetrated into the mutant's nostrils.
The mutant looked terrified and screamed like he wanted to pull out the worm that had penetrated his nostril, but his limbs were firmly pressed by several other parasites.
A few seconds after the parasitic worm penetrated into the nostril, the mutant’s scream ceased abruptly, and within a few seconds, he also struggled to get up from the ground like a parasite, and stiffly approached Qi Lin and the others. Take a step in the direction.
"The parasitic degree is so fast!"
Qi Lin was secretly startled. From the time the parasitic worms penetrated into the mutant's nostrils, to the complete control of the mutant's corpse, the entire host replacement process took less than a minute.
In other words, as long as there are enough corpses, these parasites can't be killed at all, just don't know whether the corpses of mutant creatures can be controlled by this parasitic worm.
"Shoot! Shoot! Suppress the firepower and hit me at the place where the group of guys are the densest!" Ivan shouted hoarsely. However, everyone found out with a little horror that the number of parasites was actually increasing!
"Damn it, 9527, you tell me why so many parasites are pouring out? Did you poke their mother's eyes?" The ak in Ivan's hand was hit so that the barrel of the gun started to red. As for Qi Lin's one had long been unable to continue shooting because of the jammed bullet and the burst of the barrel.
"I suspect that these parasites are all'newborn'."
After seeing the entire parasitic process just now, Qi Lin pondered for a while, and then came to this conclusion.
"Newborn? What do you mean?"
"When I entered Warehouse No. 9 before, I only saw one parasite. I fought with it for at least a few minutes. After I killed it, other parasites appeared in succession. These parasites stay in the warehouse, so why didn't they come out and surround me before? In that way, I can't get out."
"And when I escaped from the warehouse, the number of parasites was only a few dozen at most, but now, not counting those killed by us, the number of those parasites is already over two hundred."
"So, I suspect that these parasites are probably all'newborn'-for some reason, there are many corpses implanted with worm eggs left in the warehouse. These worm eggs may have been in a dormant period. But we alarmed them, so these worm eggs hatched one after another, and the corpses that had been sealed up also stood up one by one."
"It's estimated that more will come out later—"
"E6aтb!" Ivan couldn't help but swear a classic Russian swear word, which is almost the same as the Fak in English and "Fuck" in Chinese.
There are more than two hundred parasites, and I don’t know how many parasitic worms have not hatched. This made Ivan feel a deep sense of powerlessness. After lighting up the last magazine, he finally ordered Everyone retreated.
The movement of the parasite is very slow, so everyone does not have to worry about the possibility of being overtaken. After running out of the tunnel in one breath, the mutants immediately turned around and aimed their guns at the exit of the tunnel.
After waiting for more than an hour, and did not see the parasite chasing out, Qi Lin and Ivancai were relieved. It seems that either these guys can’t leave the tunnel, or they prefer high-radiation-concentration ones. surroundings.
"It seems that you need to formulate a plan for the parasites before it is possible to get the things in the ninth warehouse." Qi Lin said.
"Oh-" Ivan smiled bitterly. This targeting plan is not so easy to talk about. Apart from separating the parasite's head from the worm body and exploding one by one, they don't know that there is a way to completely destroy this group of parasites. Wiped out.
At this moment, a mutant suddenly ran over with a look of horror. He spoke a lot of words to Ivan in Russian incoherently. Only halfway through hearing Ivan's brows frowned tightly.
"What did you give birth to, so flustered?" Qi Lin asked somewhat puzzled.
"An hour has passed, and Tarkov, Peter, and Varikin have not been resurrected." Ivan said solemnly.
"Isn't this normal? It's possible that their resurrection point is far away, and they won't be able to catch up for a while?" Qi Lin asked strangely.
"No, this is not normal. We are not the same as you. Due to the intervention of the mastermind, our mutants have a fixed resurrection point after death, which is in the city of Neroszsk-I must go offline to check it now. Please wait a moment. I will."
After speaking, Ivan ordered two more words with the other two mutants, and then went offline in a hurry.
...
After several hours of going offline, Ivan appeared in front of Qi Lin again.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Takov, Peter and Varikin are all dead." Ivan's voice trembled slightly.
"Dead...? Is it the death in reality?" Qi Lin was taken aback. Obviously, the death Ivan said could not be the death in the game.
"Yes……"
"How did they die? Don't you mutants have countless chances of resurrection? Why did they die? Is it because their physical condition suddenly deteriorated?"
"No~EbookFREE.me~ Their physical condition is very stable, and there is no trauma on their body surface, but the records in the game cabin show that their brain waves have experienced very strong fluctuations and disturbances before."
"Brain death?" Qi Lin guessed. Before, players with weaker minds had been stimulated in the game. In reality, mental breakdown turned into a madman, but this was the first time he heard the situation that directly caused brain death. Say.
"It should be... but there is even worse news. Do you want to hear?"
"what news?"
"Takov, Peter, and Varikin are the three people who have just been parasitized by the parasitic worm."...
