Chapter 66 The War History of the Plague

Infecting a creature and then controlling its behavior is a new way of countering the plague fungus. In the beginning, the brain often looked for some more powerful creatures, but it was not easy to find, and the enemy army was still slowly destroying the territory it occupies.

This biological race that fought against the plague fungus, Lin temporarily called it the 'subtype group', which has no special meaning, but Lin thinks that they may be related to the Inca swarm, according to the memory of the 'brain', the 'subtype group' Swarm' abilities are very similar to Inca swarms, but their swarm habits are somewhat different...

Because the infected creatures are limited, and powerful creatures are even rarer, in order to deal with the 'subspecies group', Brain came up with a new plan to combine those infected creatures together.

This is called the "Plague Head" project, which is actually Lin's name.

The brain tried to combine some huge creatures into one creature, and then wrapped it with hardened mycelium for combat. At this time, the brain found that it was difficult to command too many infected creatures, so it specially infected some creatures for use in battle. The use of dissemination information, so the fungal lord was born...

Many infected creatures were created under the deep sea near the five islands to form the Plague Chief. The brain's original plan was to create a huge creature like a... wyvern.

Dragon? The appearance of a flying dragon suddenly appeared in this memory area, and Lin felt a little strange. There had never been a memory about a flying dragon before, which may be caused by the incomplete memory of this brain.

Nao's plan was unsuccessful. The subgroups had already reached the vicinity of the Five Plague Islands. Almost all of the Plague Capitals were still in an unfinished state. Nao hid them in the islands.

Brain is helpless against the insane subgroups, but just before the last line of defense crumbles, it discovers that it can infect and control subgroup units.

At that time, it was the first time to experiment with this kind of thing. Before that, it always killed these arms, so it immediately controlled a large number of Kia special groups. Let them start to "cannibalize each other". In this way of control, the brain slowly gains the advantage. The subspecies rely on devouring other creatures to strengthen themselves, but they cannot find creatures that are immune to fungal infection of the brain.

The plague fungus usually spreads a large amount of fungus dust, and generally first infects the food of the subspecies, and then infects them after eating it. Sometimes it can directly infect troops, and there are different methods for different arms, because each time it can infect a large number, the plague fungus even converts the enemy army into its own troops.

But the subgroup is also researching ways to avoid being infected, and the plague fungus has discovered some secrets of the subgroup in the process of continuous counterattack. They also have their own 'heads' to command the troops.

After discovering this,

The brain wanted to infect the leader of the subgroup to end the battle, and soon it confirmed the location of the leader of the subgroup by analyzing signals and other methods.

When the target location was first discovered, it prepared a team to attack the target. The subgroup was actually the same as the brain, and found that the plague fungus had the brain as a commander. So their leaders came up with a sneak attack to destroy the brain.

The brain of the plague fungus discovered the sneak attack of the subgroup, and it immediately gathered troops to defend, while it hid in the underwater cave.

Both sides launched sneak attacks on each other almost at the same time. However, the brain of the plague fungus succeeded first. It successfully infected the brains of the subspecies with a large amount of fungus dust...

………………

The memory starts to get blurry here... but there are some intermittent content.

Pain, control, fight. Reaction...Kill Kill Kill Kill...Victory...Sneak Attack...Rebirth, Divide, Grow, Fight...Curse...Death...

'curse'? What is this? When seeing this memory, this word popped up in Lin's mind for the first time. This word feels very strange. Why did this word appear?

Then the memory seemed to come to an end. It's better to say that this area of ​​​​the brain is no longer used for recording, but Lin can know what happened to them next...

The brain of the fungus controlled the brain of the subgroup, but the other party's brain might have been too powerful to affect the brain of the plague fungus. Let it feel the pain, it may be like the effect of being affected by the brain waves of the brain worm, the brain of the subgroup may send a large number of signals through this, which makes the brain of the plague fungus unbearable, and the memory part should also be at this time was damaged.

However, the plague fungus finally endured the pain and successfully killed the brains of the subgroup, and then completely slaughtered all the troops and arms of the subgroup. The large number of wreckages that Lin saw should be the traces left by that massacre ...

So far, the plague fungus can be said to have won.

However, the brain of the subgroup has not completely died. It seems to be 'reborn' on the brain of the plague fungus in some way.

It should be that the sneak attack troops of the subspecial group also successfully attacked the brain of the plague fungus, and they used this method to regenerate on it. Lin thinks that the sneak attack troops of the subspecial group have something that carries eggs or can produce brains. Successfully placed the eggs on the brain of the plague fungus, and then a new brain grew... Then, this growing brain began to compete with the brain of the plague fungus for control.

These two brains started a war with each other. Lin thinks that they just used immune cells to attack each other at first, and later even developed into producing small troops to attack each other.

In the process of fighting with each other, the troops of both sides also began to kill wildly,

During the war, the plague fungus was obviously in a weak position. Most of its brain areas were shut down. It can be said that it was slowly being swallowed by the opponent...

Even, the brain of the subgroup gave it a...'curse'?

Lin found that the last bit of memory of the plague fungus hinted that the ability of all the plague fungi to live in the sea was affected by this curse, and it seemed that they had lost their ability to filter in the sea, making the plague fungus completely die in the sea.

At that time, the brain of the plague fungus may have been located in a seabed cave without water, so it was not particularly affected.

And the troops of the subgroup also almost died in the war, and the rest lost the command of the brain, and may slowly go extinct.

... Is this the so-called death together?

But the amazing thing is that after losing his brain, the plague fungus can still continue to grow on the island and continue to live...

The huge number of fungus monsters and plague chiefs on Plague Five Island were also reserved by the original brain to deal with the subgroups. Although they haven't played a role in the future, the war is over.

After the war, the two brains have been fighting in the underwater cave. It can be said that the subgroup was extinct by the plague fungus, but their brains did not die completely, but used the final sneak attack to try to control or kill the plague. The brain of fungi...

The various "intermittent intelligence" displayed by the plague fungus must be related to the brain here. This brain is still sending out signals, and occasionally it can successfully affect these troops and improve their intelligence.

However, these troops are only affected by the information to improve their intelligence, but they don't know how to go back to save their brains, which is a bit strange.

The head of the plague turned out to be an unfinished product, no wonder it looked so strange... However, Lin found a memory fragment that suggested that there was actually a finished product, but there was no relevant information about where the finished product was.

Lin's attack may have awakened these 'sleeping' troops, causing them to start a counterattack. They should still have some intelligence and have basic combat responses, but they have no tactical capabilities.

It turns out that they have such a history.

This is mainly because the brain of the plague fungus clearly stores the memories in one area, not scattered and fuzzy like other species, so Lin can read them relatively completely, and of course there are some incomplete details.

For example, how they petrified themselves is still unknown. The brain of the plague fungus may have lived for thousands of years, or longer, including the time when the two brains fought each other. In fact, its original expansion speed was not as fast as it is now. So fast, the ability to spread is not that strong, and it is more inclined to infect species to fight, but now the fungus completely relies on its own growth, and controlling species is just an accidental behavior...

They may have turned out to be fungus-like species, but how the brain evolved remains a mystery.

Moreover, there seems to be no information about the previous disaster in the sea in the memory. Could it be that they have not been affected?

Those ancient squids worshiped the brain because it constantly released information and then affected them... In discovering their history, Lin also learned some interesting things... Maybe use it later.

In other words, if we just need to blow up this brain now, maybe we can stop the plague fungus army from moving?

It should indeed be done, no matter how long they have lived or what they have experienced before, it should be over now, and the plague will be ended.

Next, Lin asked the driller to explore the two brains, one big and one small, to make sure that there were no missing problems, and those closed areas did not seem to store more memories, and the other areas were probably used for thinking. Or for other purposes such as commanding, these relatively large brains divide these regions in detail, not as scattered as ordinary creatures, so it is difficult to read the memories of ordinary creatures.

Wait... what is this?

Lin's drillers suddenly discovered a strange thing in the process of searching their brains. This is a... Strange object.

It floats in the blood vessels of the head, but it is not similar to the surrounding cells. Its appearance... Lin is very familiar with it.

...This is the crystallization of the observer... (to be continued...)
