Chapter 372 Corrosive Worms, Part of the Theme of Melting
Seeing this familiar message, Wen Ning stood up from the sofa and drank a sip of milk to calm his nerves.
Stay tuned for the follow-up. Due to the acid rain disaster, everyone is living in shelters, so the world channel is several times more active than usual.
In Wen Ning's shelter, the fireplace built during the snowstorm was lit. This fireplace was renovated when the shelter was rebuilt.
It occupies half of the wall, and when it is lit, the whole room can be warmed up. Combined with the thermal stone, the temperature is very comfortable.
The smokeless charcoal was burning quietly with flames, while Wen Ning was eating a fruit plate while watching the chat on the world channel.
There is a very sharp contrast between the players.
Those who live well, like Wen Ning, stay leisurely in the shelter, wrapped in a mink coat, with warm charcoal burning.
Life was difficult because not only did they have to endure the corrosion of acid rain, they also had to experience the fear of death.
Today is the day when the corrosive worms hatch.
【World Channel: Help! A lot of bugs crawled out! 】
[World Channel: It’s a corrosive insect!] They are not even afraid of acid rain, how can we kill them! 】
[World Channel: Insecticides are somewhat effective, but they cannot kill insects. At most, they can paralyze them for a while! 】
[World Channel: Salt water! Salt water works! 】
Acid-base balance, right?
Wen Ning's survival manual did not mention any method of killing insects.
Because once there is a large-scale outbreak of corrosive insects, the disasters in these survival manuals will be over.
Wen Ning has been observing the disasters in his own world these days according to the contents of the survival manual.
There is no one with a compatibility of more than 80%.
Wen Ning seriously suspected that the dog system had adjusted its difficulty again.
Speaking of alkaline substances, Wen Ning thought of the large piles of quicklime in his warehouse.
Although quicklime is not an alkali, the lime water produced from it is alkaline.
The simplest alkaline water in life is nothing more than wood ash soaked in water.
With this in mind, some people have already started experiments on the world channel.
Except for the territory that strictly followed Wen Ning's intelligence and did not go out at all, the players in other territories were more or less infected by the corrosive insects in the acid rain.
From time to time, the screams of animals could be heard in the wilderness.
Short and shrill, many animals can only utter this last howl.
Because the time it takes for a corrosion worm to hatch successfully is extremely short, it will grow two long mouthparts after hatching successfully.
It is used to cut the flesh and blood of the host. There is also a transparent and extremely thin long tube in the middle of the mouthparts, which is used to absorb nutrients.
A single player may have tens of thousands of Corruption Bugs on their body.
After they clean their host, they crawl away looking for their next target.
During the growth stage of corrosion, no new eggs will be produced.
And how fast they grow depends on how much flesh and blood they eat.
When it comes to their preference for nutrients, players and animals rank first.
The player's flesh and blood is created by the game system using the permutations and combinations of molecules.
There is no difference between their essence and that of mammals.
When the animals are eaten, the gnats turn to eating plants.
This is part of the theme of dissolving disasters.
After the Corrosive Worms hatch, they can be killed with physical attacks from weapons, but they are only the size of cockroaches.
And there are so many of them that they are not afraid of water or fire.
Early pesticides and alkaline substances can also be cleaned up.
When they reach the stage of full maturity, these methods are of no use.
By that time, perhaps the only remaining method would be the most primitive method, using swords.
Therefore, the appearance of a corrosive worm in a territory is fatal.
If you don't clean it and wait for it to eat and drink its fill and start laying eggs, new corrosive worms will hatch in just a few days.
When a swarm of insects breaks out in the territory, the outcome can be imagined.
As a result, each territory began a vigorous insect extermination campaign.
Wen Ning had the robots patrol 24 hours a day, irrigate the bottom of all the city walls with lime water, and spray pesticides and other useful insecticides in the corners of the buildings every day.
Prevent corrosion insects from crawling in from the soil.
Soon, there were fewer and fewer voices crying for help on the world channel.
I don't know if he died or was saved.
Wen Ning didn't pay too much attention to it. She shared with Lu Shi and Lin Zheng what might happen and how to prevent it.
Then I started preparing to go out.
At this moment, such a message suddenly appeared on the world channel.
[World Channel: Will disasters refresh monsters? There are so many green monsters in our territory! 】
[World Channel: Monster? Isn't it a bug? 】
[World Channel: It’s not a bug! No, there are bugs too! Now the entire territory is full of green monsters and bugs! The people inside want us to open the door! 】
[World Channel: So scary! These bugs crawled out from the green-skinned monster's skin. The green-skinned monster wants to eat people, and these bugs also want to eat people! 】
Green monster?
Goblin?
Wen Ning suddenly became interested. Are they the goblins that escaped earlier?
[World Channel: What the hell is going on! The lord didn't say a word. Could he have died in the territory? 】
[World Channel: Calling out to other territories in the world channel, is there anyone with a location to receive players? My shelter is fully occupied, and I can live outside the city! 】
[World Channel: Brothers, which territory are you from? Why is it so miserable? 】
[World Channel: Stop talking. We used to be an official territory. Later, Xu Jiacheng had a falling out with the official government and took us to become independent. Why are we so miserable now? 】
official!
It’s Xu Jiacheng indeed!
Wen Ning narrowed her eyes slightly. How come she hadn’t heard about the falling out between Xu Jiacheng and the authorities?
Also, this official is quite mysterious and has never spoken on the world channel.
Officials from other countries have all made appearances to some extent.
etc!
Wen Ning suddenly thought of a question.
It seems that the official territories of various countries suddenly disappeared from a certain period of time?
Apart from Jack who was against him, the only one who was still active on the world channel was Xu Jiacheng.
As a game designer, Wen Ning knew a little about this matter.
When we were selecting the players, we had discussed that we couldn't repeat the mistakes of the people on Blue Star, and the system's algorithm also showed that we couldn't go down the old path of Blue Star.
So the algorithm simply excludes global leaders.
Of course, this is also because the world's top rulers are generally older, and some players with extreme political positions have not passed the system's algorithm review.
Therefore, Wen Ning guessed that the officials mentioned by these people were probably self-proclaimed.
After all, how many people are involved in the operation of a state machine?
I'm afraid someone from a government department entered the game, and after finding out that there are no bosses in this world, he started to have evil thoughts.
They established their own so-called official organization.
This can also explain why some countries have it and some do not.
Wen Ning could then understand why he had looked down upon the official base from the beginning.
Li Weiguo is too indecisive. It is understandable that he is considering humanity, but this Xu Jiacheng.
My personal desires are too obvious, and now I don’t even pretend anymore.
But now, I'm afraid I'll have to reap the consequences.
Wen Ning relaxed and watched the people from Xu Jiacheng territory complaining on the world channel.
And at this time the territory of Xujiacheng.
The entire territory was in turmoil.
This change started yesterday.
When changes occurred in the players of various territories on the world channel, Xu Jiacheng began to pay attention to the status of the goblins who had returned from the heavy rain.
And some actions were also taken, such as taking his confidants to spray pesticides around the territory at night.
And every few hours Xu Jiacheng would suddenly "accidentally break into" the goblin's room to check.
Make sure there are no Corruption Worms hatched on the Goblin.
But nothing happened yesterday, and Xu Jiacheng thought that the goblin could use some purification magic to get rid of the corrosive bugs on his body.
As a result, early this morning, when Xu Jiacheng wanted to conduct an inspection as usual, the room in the residential building was kicked open.
Several goblins who were supposed to be resting and sleeping ran out.
Their faces were horrible, with holes all over their bodies and faces. The ends of the white line-like worms were deeply embedded in the goblins' flesh.
The other end was swinging its body wildly and swaying in the air, and Xu Jiacheng's scalp went numb on the spot.
Turned around and ran away.
Soon after, a swarm of insects broke out throughout the territory.
It turned out that every goblin that returned that day had corrosive insect eggs on their bodies.
The goblins' special abilities that were originally thought to exist did not happen.
Now Xu Jiacheng’s backlash has arrived.
