Chapter 2415: Feather snake

After a while, the abnormal creature with Merlin's tail wrapped around stopped.
Then the tail of the deformed creature fluttered and Merlin fell on the wire.
Merlin discovered that these abnormal creatures didn't seem to plan to eat her, at least for the time being.
There are also many abnormal creatures patrolling in the surrounding channels.
Merlin wanted to move her body, but her limbs had only a little consciousness.
And the saliva of the abnormal creatures on her body was solidifying, and then stuck her to the wire.
"Give up, don't waste your energy."
Just then, there was a voice next to it.
Merlin turned around and found a man in a white coat.
The man's eyes were dull and his voice was very weak.
"You ... are you a researcher here?"
"Obviously, isn't it?" The man said weakly.
"Are these things developed by you?"
"They can only be considered as we cultivated, we can't study this thing." The man said: "When I came here, they already had their eggs. Later, through breeding and reproduction, they have the scale they are today. "
"What the are these?"
"Do you know the feathered snake of the Inca civilization?"
"I've heard that you are saying that they are feather snakes, but they all look like a group of bald Scoops with no hair on their bodies. Where is it like a feather snake?"
"They are the archetype of the feather zombie." The man said: "The origin of the eggs in the laboratory is unknown, but through research, we found that they have very high intelligence and sociality, so people who studied with me at the time thought that , Long ago, their civilization was likely to have existed. "
"So what do they want us to do now? Eat it? Or treat it as winter food?" Merlin asked with a bit of self-deprecation.
She doesn't have much hope for survival research.
At least she couldn't see any hope for life.
"You look above."
Merlin turned her head and looked straight up, but in the shadows on the ceiling full of pipes, there were wet eggs.
Merlin swallowed, and she had realized something.
"Have you seen the alien?"
Even though Merlin's body was paralyzed, she still felt unprecedented fear.
"The feather zombie we see now are all cultivated in the laboratory tanks, so their development is extremely incomplete and can only be regarded as a subspecies." The man said: "The real feather zombie is from the egg. After drilling out of the body, you need to drill into the body of a large mammal before it can grow into a true feather snake ... as for the process, you can refer to the face-bearing worm in the alien. "
"how do you know?"
"Not only one of them was caught here. When the laboratory was evacuated, four people were caught here by these subspecies."
Just then, a giant was drilled in a circular passage.
Its size is similar to those of the subspecies, but it is much larger.
Just by weight, they are more than five times larger than ordinary subspecies.
They do not lie on the ground like subspecies, and their upper body is supported, just like humans.
The lower body is creeping forward like snakes.
They have multicolored feathers on their backs and underarms.
This is obviously what the researcher around me called the feather snake.
"Well--" a strange cry came out of the feather snake's mouth.
The surrounding subspecies all lay their heads on the ground and did not dare to look up.
It was as if the civilians were humbled by the aristocracy.
At this time, the feather zombie moved to a sink.
Merlin heard the sound of the motor.
Then the lights around that sink turned on.
The sink where the feather snake is located is connected to many cables, and it seems to be powered on.
And it made strange noises in the sink.
"What is it doing?"
"Absorbing electrical energy." The researcher said: "The feather snakes seem to be able to absorb electrical energy, and they have very high intelligence. No one has taught them how to use the equipment here, but for the past two days, I watched them from You can't imagine how smart they are.
Merlin felt that her scalp was going to burst, and she certainly understood the meaning of the researcher's words.
Even humans dare not say that without any relevant experience, they can learn the operation of such complex electrical equipment, let alone other species.
If it's just pure physical strength, it will not threaten the entire human community.
After all, there are more animals stronger than humans on earth.
But what if there is a species stronger and smarter than humans?
"What about their ability to reproduce?"
The researchers looked at Meilin at the corner of their eyes: "As long as there is enough food to supplement them, they only need to complete mating in one night .... mating, spawning, hatching into larvae, and the larvae penetrate into the mammal's body and swallow it It takes a day for a mammal's body to become semi-mature. For example, the feathered zombie, its actual age is only twenty hours. "
Hearing the researcher's words, Merlin was already shocked to add.
"You guys are crazy, you dare to study such things."
"It's too late to say this now, and I'm just a researcher. From the nature of my job, I'm no different from an engineering worker. Even if I don't accept the job, others will accept it." The researcher completely eliminated his responsibility. .
Although he was telling the truth, Merlin's teeth were itchy.
But at this time, she had no way to teach this researcher at all.
She is now insecure.
And just then, a flurry of meat suddenly broke above them.
A large amount of liquid poured down, directly cooling the two of them.
Of course, if the liquid just poured down, they wouldn't panic.
Because there is something coming down with the liquid.
A larval feathered zombie, this larval feathered zombie looks pink and looks a bit cute.
However, as long as it is associated with the face bug, no one will feel cute.
The larval feathered zombie begins to crawl towards the researcher.
The researcher was horrified with a trembling sound in his mouth.
The cub-feather zombie hesitated, and then turned to climb towards Merlin.
Merlin was scared to death, and then she realized how this researcher lived to the last one in these two days.
Merlin wanted to make that sound too, so she tried to make a gurgling sound.
However, the juvenile feather zombie did not stop, and had crawled to Merlin's chest.
Merlin could feel the cold touch when the juvenile feather zombie touched her skin.
Merlin was snoring, and she was breathing shortly.
