Chapter 419: The Tide of Sea Urchins
"It's true. As long as they recognize you as the same kind, you won't be attacked..."
"Looking at it this way, their behavior pattern is somewhat similar to zombies. If it spreads, it will be an extremely terrible plague. But more than ten days have passed, and the island has not been blocked. The plague is still confined to the island.
middle."
After being hugged by the girl, Wen Wen was already considered the same kind in the eyes of these infected people, so Wen Wen's actions were unimpeded here.
However, the spikes on their bodies cannot pierce even the gentle containment uniforms.
Not to mention that Wen Wen also used itchy tickles all over his body. Even without the containment officer's uniform, these spikes couldn't even pierce Wen Wen's oily skin.
The scene where a bunch of sea urchins rushed towards Wen Wen just now would probably make ordinary people faint from fear, but Wen Wen is not an ordinary person, so that scene is not as exciting as him looking at the infected people who can only wait to die.
After being recognized as companions by these sea urchins, Wen Wen's actions became much easier.
He spent an afternoon visiting every corner of the town and learned more about the town.
There are probably thousands of people in the entire town, and everyone is infected with Sea Urchin Syndrome. Those who are not infected should have been rescued by the Hunter Association long ago.
The smell in the town is stronger and more disgusting than the seafood market.
Except for the sea urchins, there are no other domestic animals in the town. Only occasionally pale bones and animal skins stained with dried blood can be seen.
I'm afraid all these livestock have been wiped out, but I don't know whether they were eaten by the infected in the town or were eliminated by other things.
If it's an infected person, it's okay, but if it's something else, it means this town is more dangerous than it seems.
However, those corpses also showed from the side that only humans can be infected with sea urchin syndrome, otherwise there would be some weird creatures such as sea urchins, chickens, ducks and geese in the town.
Infected people generally do not engage in too many activities. They just stay in place. If no uninfected people appear, they will not respond to any stimulation.
Therefore, the Hunter Association's danger rating for these infected people is not high, so it sent a medical team to observe slowly, otherwise the place would have been razed with heavy firepower.
But Wen Wen always has a feeling that the problems in this town are definitely not just those infected with Sea Urchin Syndrome!
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Wen Wen was sitting on a chimney, feeling melancholy.
As he investigated, these sea urchin-infected people stimulated him more and more weakly, and he found no other abnormalities in this town.
"It seems that this plague has only stimulated me so much. Even if I stay here any longer, I will not awaken my abilities. I remember that in the southeast, there is a strange plague that needs to be dealt with by the hunters..."
Just as he was about to leave, Wen Wen suddenly noticed that the helpers surrounding the town were evacuating in an orderly manner and returned to the camp where Wen Wen had been during the day.
"Aren't you going to leave this place alone at night? Aren't you afraid that infected people will escape from here under the cover of darkness?"
"No, maybe it's what happens here at night..."
Then, Wen Wen discovered that not only the outside helpers had evacuated, but the behavior patterns of the infected people in the town had also changed.
Those townspeople whose sea urchins were so badly transformed that they could no longer recognize their human form were still sitting on the street with empty eyes as if they were waiting for death.
As for those whose sea urchin transformation was not too serious, their eyes became alert and they ran back to their rooms to lock the doors and windows. It seemed that something would appear late at night, and they could keep those things out as long as they locked the doors and windows.
Then the smoke rose and the infected people were cooking!
Wen Wen stood up from the chimney, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Sure enough, the state of this plague is different during the day and at night..."
"And these townspeople seem to have regained their senses at night and need to eat normally. Should I find a family to ask about the situation."
Before he could take the next step, a strange change was heard on the beach. The sound of sea water lapping at sea urchins seemed to get louder, and black shadows appeared on the beach.
Under the dark sea surface, there seemed to be an extremely huge black shadow, moving vaguely, making the atmosphere somewhat depressing.
When this depression reached the extreme, the calm sea surface instantly boiled, and white mist rose from the sea surface, covering the entire town.
Now the whole town is shrouded in fog!
"These mist are just ordinary water mist, but this mist means that something is coming out of the sea water."
The fog blocked his sight. It was difficult for Wen Wen to see clearly the sea surface from such a distance. He could only hear some chaotic noises, and it seemed that there were many small creatures crawling!
After a while, Wen Wen finally saw what those things were. It turned out to be a dense sea urchin!
Water mist provides a humid environment for sea urchins, allowing them to crawl freely even in dry environments on land.
These sea urchins are very large, shiny black, and have very energetic spines. They are exactly the same as the sea urchins Wen Wen saw in the hotel!
The ground of the entire town is covered with these dense sea urchins. With such a huge number of sea urchins, it is no wonder that the sea urchins in Yanzhou City have almost dropped to the price of cabbage recently.
However, since the Hunters Association can tolerate the appearance of this kind of sea urchin on the dinner table, it can basically prove that these sea urchins do not carry viruses.
Now Wen Wen finally understands why the Hunter Association's camp was built on the top of a hill and why the townspeople hid in their houses.
Because once night falls, this town is dominated by sea urchins!
Although the Hunter Association and the townspeople were well prepared, there were still some infected people sitting on the street unprepared, and a group of sea urchins climbed onto the infected people's bodies and seemed to be getting close to them.
Then, Wen Wen saw a horrifying scene.
A town citizen with a round body suddenly exploded after being covered by those sea urchins. From the yellow sea urchin gonads in his body, small sea urchins began to crawl out one by one!
Each of these micro sea urchins is only the size of a fingernail, and an infected person can produce tens of thousands of micro sea urchins!
The miniature sea urchins are attached to the surrounding sea urchins, and will return to the water during the day, and then grow naturally...
Wen Wen thinks he has found the reason for the recent bumper harvest of sea urchins. Those sea urchins are all produced by patients infected with Sea Urchin Syndrome!
Now Wen Wen is a little nauseous. Fortunately, San Zai'er ate all the sea urchin he ordered. Wen Wen probably won't eat sea urchin again in the future.
The scene of the infected people turning into countless little sea urchins gave Wen Wen a huge stimulus, and the impulse he had felt before reappeared!
