'Hive effect' is not a strictly scientific term.
It is often used to describe the highly coordinated behavior exhibited by social insects. The academic name for this phenomenon is: [swarm intelligence].
For example, ant colonies and bee colonies are highly social insect groups. The survival priority of the group is higher than that of the individual, and they are also called "superorganisms."
Shi Man's eyes were icy. "The most troublesome thing about the 'Hive Effect' is that these bugs have a 'shared brain'."
"In the past, the concept of 'shared brain' was just a concept, but the brain-hugger swarm we're facing might actually exist."
"They are looking for us."
This conclusion is chilling.
Shi Man looked in the direction where the parasitic man and woman came from last night. That was Province N, the first stop of the life loop.
Qin Xiao: "I will report the situation here back to headquarters. Also, I think I've discovered some patterns in the dreams I had."
"The memories in dreams are so chaotic and fragmented that they can only be recalled after encountering something I have seen before."
"If it continues like this, it's too passive. I think these memories may be related to evolution."
Shi Man glanced at him. On this point, she and Qin Xiao agreed.
Only by constantly evolving and becoming stronger can we break through.
"Notify the others to pack up and get ready to go. Since the bugs are coming from Province N, let's go straight there."
Hong Tao and other researchers stayed behind to take care of the follow-up matters, while Shi Man and others returned to the Pure Land and headed towards Province N.
At the duty station, the remaining people looked in the direction where the Pure Land left and saluted together.
On the train, Qin Xiao talked to the team members in detail about the brainworm. Everyone who had originally planned to eat barbecued 'winter insect cicada pupae' for lunch suddenly lost their appetite.
Shi Man used a cat toy to turn Milk and his brother back into their small sizes. The two little ones hadn't been in the carriage for a long time, and they jumped up and down excitedly, leaving their scent all over the train.
This time, Shi Man also brought Xiong Er and Baiwan out, while Lai Cai stayed in the Pure Land.
Before entering Province N, Shi Man stopped the train temporarily and took everyone off the train.
Meng Xiaodao had been unlucky eight times before, but a few days had passed and the ninth bad luck had not come yet. Shi Man was worried that he would suffer a big blow after entering Province N.
The most important thing is that Shi Man wanted to use up the fifty card draws before entering Province N.
Maybe we can come up with some good things.
"This trip is nothing but a sneak attack." Shi Man said directly: "Pray that he will be unlucky soon and let go of his bad luck."
Everyone looked at Meng Xiaodao, who was under tremendous pressure.
He had never wanted to be unlucky as much as he did today.
The meadow stretched as far as the eye could see, and the weather today was pleasant and sunny. People were not fools who would just stand there and wait for bad luck to come. When they found any unusual plants, they would dig them up on the spot and collect them. They actually dug up some varieties they had never collected before.
But the strange thing is that in a wilderness like this, the probability of encountering a strange beast should be 90%, but Shi Man and his group swept nearly three kilometers and didn't encounter a single strange beast.
