Seeing an alter ego in person is a weird thing.
Especially that self was still wrapped in something like a cicada pupa, and the surrounding area was full of fluid, just like in the mother's womb. In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed that a fist-thick fibrous tube was inserted into the other self's brain. Finally, this can probably explain where the incomparably regular oval shape of the fourth ventricle on the previous CT film came from.
The other end of the fiber tube is connected to a smaller cicada pupa, and the thing inside is trying to break through a layer of membrane inside the cicada pupa and climb into the tube.
So far, Zhang Heng has basically figured out the secret of those things replacing humans.
They didn't go directly into the target's head, but first they had to find a way to copy a human body. This body was like clothes to them, and they could only pretend to be human when they put on clothes.
No wonder their efficiency has not been high, and they haven't attacked him for so long.
But Zhang Heng reckoned that when the thing in the cicada pupa crawled into the fourth ventricle along the fiber tube, it was time for these things to attack him.
And that day doesn't look too far away.
Afterwards, Zhang Heng went around the old banyan-like plant again, and counted the cicada pupae on the tree. Among them, the number of small cicada pupae was obviously more, almost reaching hundreds, while the number of large cicada pupae The number is much smaller, only thirteen, which is a bad number.
Counting the betrayal of Judas, Jesus also happened to have thirteen disciples.
In view of the disparity between the small cicada chrysalis and the big cicada chrysalis, that is to say, those things need to compete to get the qualification to leave here, which is somewhat similar to human reproduction.
Zhang Heng just stopped here for a while, his shoulders were already covered with ashes, and even breathing became a little difficult in such a turbid environment. Fortunately, he had put on a mask in advance, but even so, he couldn't stay here. It took too long, so Zhang Heng decided to speed up the action.
Although he didn't know what this strange creature that looked like a banyan tree and could produce cicada chrysalis in front of him was, but its relationship with the things parasitic in the fourth ventricle was already clear.
Apparently, it can give birth to those things in the fourth ventricle, and the "clothes" they need to go out and about.
From this point of view, it is somewhat similar to the Zerg Brood in StarCraft.
In other words, as long as this place is destroyed, even if those things can't be wiped out, at least they can't reproduce wantonly.
So the next moment Zhang Heng pulled out his knife, wanting to test the defense of the plant in front of him first, but before he could get to that thing, the ugly vines that were intertwined with each other on the branch before started to move again, and this At one time, not just the few vines on the door, but all the vines on the whole tree became active.
Like a giant python awakened from a deep sleep.
Zhang Heng wisely didn't move forward. With so many tumors on the vines exploding together, no matter how good his skills were, he couldn't avoid it.
And as long as he retreated, the movements of those vines immediately slowed down, until finally they returned to the squirming state.
In addition, Zhang Heng also noticed at this time that the cicada pupae hanging on the branches were also within the safe range. Obviously, this is also to avoid being hurt by those ugly vines.
Indiscriminate attack
Zhang Heng frowned, which meant that it was difficult for him to get close to those things.
Especially the part that beats like a heart in the tree cavity. Fortunately, he considered various situations before he acted tonight, then Zhang Heng squatted down, opened the backpack behind him, and took out a mineral water bottle of gasoline from it.
The capacity in the backpack is limited, and most of the place is filled with Lego blocks, so the gasoline is only so small, but it is logically enough to ignite the plant in front of him.
Zhang Heng unscrewed the bottle and sprinkled the gasoline inside to the center of the plant as much as possible, while he retreated to the door. Fortunately, the vines did not show any attacking posture this time.
Then Zhang Heng struck a match and decided to say goodbye to the crazy botanical garden in front of him.
The struck match accurately landed on the gasoline, and then burned without accident, and the fire spread quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire trunk was covered in flames.
Cooperating with the weird picture in front of me, there is a twisted beauty.
When the flames started to burn, the ugly vines acting as guards surged uncomfortably, but there was no target to attack within the range, and they didn't know what to do.
However, the good situation in front of me only lasted for less than two seconds. With the next "breath", the weird plant like banyan tree no longer spewed out ashes, but spit out some bright red juice. After touching the bright red juice, he immediately became sluggish.
The fire was quickly brought under control, and by the third time it spewed out, the flames had completely disappeared, and the previously burnt areas began to fall off, and new bark grew, looking the same as before.
The entire fire extinguishing and restoration process took less than half a minute, after which everything returned to calm.
It's as if nothing happened.
But Zhang Heng at the other end of the hall realized that he was in trouble this time. The thing in front of him didn't seem to have much offensive power and could only be protected by the accompanying vines, but in contrast to it was its terrifying self-healing and Crisis response capabilities.
If it is expressed in game terms, it should belong to the kind of boss that is resistant to high blood and thick, and almost all attribute points are added to survival.
This is in line with its evolutionary direction. After all, in addition to those ugly vines, it is also protected by the things in the cicada chrysalis. Naturally, it no longer needs to develop any attack power, and can concentrate on defense.
Zhang Heng made a rough estimate. Judging from the damage caused by the gasoline before, even the rocket launcher might not be able to blow up its outer tree trunk, let alone the [Paris Arrow] in the backpack. Even if it can find the opponent's Weaknesses, if you can't break through the defense, it's useless, but if you want to really hurt it, you probably need to use intercontinental missile-level weapons.
Zhang Heng didn't stay any longer, his throat had already started to itch, he coughed twice, and at the same time his vision became increasingly dizzy.
After being burned like this, the uncomfortable smell became more intense, and Zhang Heng realized that the smell did have a slight paralyzing effect. It may be fine for a short time, but if a large amount of inhalation will become slow, the brain will also be affected to a certain extent.
It seems that at least tonight he has nothing to do with that weird plant.
Zhang Heng took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a few photos with the last time, and recorded a video, and then retreated through the door from before.
