In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 129: Brain Devouring Worm

Wang Jixuan's spiritual awareness has always been open, but he did not expect to have an unexpected gain.

This eye contact came too suddenly.

This middle-aged woman, who is the captain of the Central City Security Team, never expected that the Black Storm would suddenly notice her. She immediately closed her eyes, but Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness had already begun to explore her body.

The woman suddenly fell slowly to the ground.

"Don't touch her, disperse!"

Wang Jixuan shouted softly, and several soldiers around the woman quickly retreated.

There was a bit of commotion in the conference room.

The woman who fell to the ground began to twitch continuously.

Wang Jixuan frowned slightly - it was not appropriate for him to show off his abilities in front of so many people.

In the eye contact just now, this woman showed a little flaw, and Wang Jixuan sensed a familiar smell.

It smells similar to the high-level mimic blade beast 'Preacher'.

what's the situation?
A more advanced Mimic Blade Beast?
Why is there no trace of evil spirit?
He walked slowly forward, getting closer and closer to the woman, and gestured to everyone to step back. He used his spiritual sense to carefully observe everyone's movements, expressions, and demeanor, to guard against anyone suddenly attacking him.

The two sides were only three steps apart when the woman suddenly looked up.

Her muscles tensed, her limbs grasped the ground, her abdomen bulged, and she pounced towards Wang Jixuan!

Lingtong raised her robotic arm and was about to fire, but Wang Jixuan had already taken a step forward to block the line of fire from her direction. He flipped sideways, dodged the woman's attack, and stepped on the woman's back!
The woman's body slammed to the ground. Just as she was about to turn over and grab something, a fist wrapped in a tactical glove hit her spine.

The sound of bones breaking made everyone's scalp tingle!

The woman's spine was dislocated and she was unable to get up. She kept making "ho ho" roars from her mouth.

Wang Jixuan took advantage of the situation and pushed his hand, pressing on the woman's neck and throwing her to the ground.

"get out!"

A breath of air was injected into it, turning the knife into a sword!

boom!
The woman's head suddenly exploded, red and white objects splattered everywhere, and a thumb-sized translucent white worm jumped out from it. It opened its mouth and was about to bite Wang Jixuan, but Wang Jixuan grabbed it and crushed it.

Dark green blood kept dripping down the outside of the tactical gloves.

Taoist Wang felt a little disgusted, but he still looked at the thing carefully.

It looks like a silkworm pupa, has a mouthpart in the middle, and degenerate limbs can be seen on the edge of its body. It is only more than ten centimeters long. It should have been hiding in this woman's brain before?

This insect has glowing ends all over its body.

There was some commotion among the crowd:

"What is this? Oh my God! It's so scary!"

"Such a small blade beast? I've never seen one before!"

"A new Mimic Saber Beast? Where did this thing come from? Has the Saber Beast evolved again?"

A group of people in the room kept exclaiming, and the old consul was also staring at the place in a daze.

Wang Jixuan heard Mudan's reminder voice in his earphones:

"Sir, there is no record of this kind of blade beast in the database of human civilization! Please keep the sample!"

Hearing this, Wang Jixuan took off his gloves and wrapped the thing.

"Bring a container here! Lingtong, notify the old commander-in-chief and ask him to send a research team over immediately!"

He couldn't help but cursed:

"Even after being infiltrated by blade beasts, the Psychic City is still causing trouble!"

In a trance, Wang Jixuan's heart was shaken.

If the Blade Beast possessed this perfect disguise, it could move around in human society and observe humans.

That means...

What he did before in Fort 76 and now in Fort 82, are most of the Blade Beasts aware of it?

Wang Jixuan turned around and looked around, looking at the faces everywhere, his breathing slightly stagnant.

[They have been watching].

……

A few hours later.

Wang Jixuan sat on the sofa in the temporary supply station. He had recovered to the perfect state before beheading Mo Feng. He hugged his arms and looked at the autopsy report in front of him.

That blade beast has been named the 'brain-eating worm'. It has a complete blade beast internal organ structure and a relatively developed and dense nervous system, but it does not have the ability to directly send intelligence to the outside world.

“This incident has been reported to all major war zones, causing widespread panic.”

Mudan held a folder made of holographic projection and said quickly:

"Currently, there are two main methods for effectively detecting brain-eating worms. The first is to conduct a deep brain scan and three-dimensional modeling, and the second is to perform a spinal puncture to analyze bone marrow fluid substances. Each method is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Also, Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian sent a private message to ask if you have any method to find this bug."

Wang Jixuan thought carefully and recalled the details of discovering that this woman was strange.

The other party sneered a little.

The sneer was somewhat malicious and seemed to be mocking, as if mocking the human beings for overestimating their own capabilities and fighting among themselves in the current situation.

He asked, “How much have you found now?”

"Three, in different battle zones."

Peony said quickly:
"The worst thing is that the newly discovered brain-eating worm infected person No. 4 is the logistics director of a fortress in the D3 war zone.

“The nine war zones have now established a standing meeting of the commanders-in-chief to inform each other of all situations and investigate them from top to bottom.

"In addition, news came from the three major space fortresses that they have also begun self-inspection."

"Where is the Psychic City?"

"There's no news from there."

The door of the supply truck where Mr. Black lived opened, and Zheng Shiduo stuck his head out and cursed fiercely:
"Maybe they are all controlled by brain-eating worms! I said that the Beast God Sect that emerged in recent years is very problematic!"

Wang Jixuan stroked his chin and thought carefully. He suddenly smiled and said:

"If we attribute all the actions of psychics to the control of brain-eating worms, the contradictions within humanity can be greatly alleviated."

Mudan shrugged: "Unfortunately not."

"What if?"

Taoist Priest Wang said with emotion:

"The foundation of the Psychic City is rotten. They have fallen into their own power and enjoy the pleasure of using their power to oppress ordinary people."

He finally understood the true value of the four words "Dharma is not to be passed on lightly" written in the rules of each sect.

Disciples must be tested on their character and conduct, which is a major sign of a orthodox sect.

Mudan said, "Sir, the commander-in-chief sent a communication invitation."

"Take it over."

"Yes."

Several rays shot out from Mudan's eyes, interweaving to form a projection screen.

Fu Jian, wearing a black leather jacket, sat on a swivel chair. His terrifying mechanical body was covered with various sensors, as if he was doing some testing.

Behind him were several rows of small screens, showing that he was in a separate room.

There was a clanging sound coming from the supply truck next to him. Before Fu Jian could say anything, Zheng Shiduo jumped out and saluted with his body straight.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Fu Jian nodded: "Well, okay...what are these wires wrapped around you?"

Zheng Shiduo blinked, and quickly took off the 'thorn' wire wrapped around his trousers and coat, and said awkwardly: "Commander-in-chief, this is a new way of playing I found... It's a little exciting but it won't affect normal work... Hehe." "Step aside, I have some business to talk to Wang Zheng about."

"As ordered!"

Zheng Shiduo shouted with full energy, marched back to the supply vehicle, found a corner, squatted down and covered his ears.

Wang Jixuan rubbed his eyebrows.

He had been thinking about refining some Pei Yang Pills for Lao Zheng. It was not a good idea to continue like this. He had no integrity at all... Hey, it seemed that he had heard before that a male uncle in the sect had a crush on a male uncle, but of course, it was just a crush.

Fu Jian asked: "Is there any way to investigate?"

“There is no way to promote it at the moment.”

Wang Jixuan shook his head:

"I can search their brains one by one in the area near me."

"That won't work. Your strategic value is too high to take risks."

Fu Jian thought for a moment:
"Fortress 76 will complete a comprehensive inspection in five days. I have transferred a lot of deep scanners there. You will hide there later.

"Because of the brain-eating worm incident, a large number of psychics have been evacuated from the Psychic City. They have already started arranging brain scans inside. Ha, I also heard that hundreds of psychics escaped from the Psychic City within a few hours.

"However, this information is not authentic."

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue and said, "Okay then, leave Wu Man and Ling Tong to me later."

"Why don't you go back to 76 tomorrow?"

Fu Jian said in a deep voice:
"Xing Dian may retaliate against 82. The enemy is in the dark and the fortress is in the light. We are relatively passive in this regard."

"I won't move for now. I'll wait until 76 is cleaned up. If I move rashly, I'll bring disaster. I'll move the supply station to a more secret location later."

"Well, that's it for now," Fu Jian hung up the phone.

Mudan immediately spoke up: "Sir, Auntie Dragonfly sent a text message with only two sentences."

[Xing Dian sent his seven students to the vicinity of Fortress No. 82 and divided them into three groups. Be careful.]

[The City of Psychic Power has begun large-scale testing of the newly discovered brain-eating worms. The characteristics of the brain-eating worms are unknown. It is said that they were discovered by you.]

Wang Jixuan replied: "Give her a message. Brain-eating worms can integrate with the human brain and spinal cord. They usually hide in the brain stem. Infected people are no different from ordinary people. Tell her to be careful."

"Okay, sent."

Peony asked in a low voice:
"Sir, do you think this Dragonfly Lady is also..."

Wang Jixuan pondered carefully: "Probably not. At that time, in order to figure out what kind of healing water they needed, I carefully examined their hidden diseases and their brains... There is nothing wrong with their team."

Mudan subconsciously patted her chest, deliberately making her body tremble, and said proudly:
"Humans are too unreliable! When it comes to loyalty and purity, we autonomous machines have to rely on us!"

"maybe."

The spirit of the weapon is indeed a loyal companion of the cultivator.

"Mudan, prepare for a simple move to the outskirts of the military camp. We will be leaving in a few days, so there is no need to make it too elaborate."

"Can you ask the pervert to help Mudan more? Mudan will be very tired as a machine."

"Do you have a fatigue setting?"

"No! Peony is always tireless in her service to her superiors!"

"Why don't you just do it yourself? Let Lao Zheng recover from his injuries. His bones are all broken, but he's still using his psychic energy to keep himself going around!"

Wang Jixuan shook his head and went back to start his supply vehicle.

Although he looked smiling, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

……

Another dozen hours later.

In the cabin of Lingtong's transport plane, Wang Jixuan sat cross-legged on a chair in the corner, while Lingtong sat on the sofa half a meter away in home clothes, wearing basic prosthetic limbs and flipping through a love novel describing married life.

Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo and the newly arrived Wan Xiaoqi were playing video games together; Mudan was helping Sister Wan repair the robotic arm.

Ling Tong glanced at Taoist Wang from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping herself... Oh, no, she had deliberately put on light makeup, applied light pink lipstick, and wore a small yellow flower on her ponytail. Her fair skin looked white and translucent under the light. She should be wanting to say something but stopping herself at this moment.

'Well, it's a natural topic to talk about.'

Ling Tong closed the novel and looked up and said, "Let's have dinner tonight..."

Jingle Bell!
A bell suddenly rang from the operating table. Wang Jixuan opened his eyes with a sharp light in them.

Lingtong pursed her lips and looked away.

"Just eat something casually tonight," Wang Jixuan asked with a smile, "Want to eat roasted blade beast meat? I can make it for you."

Ling Tong immediately agreed: "Yes, OK."

Wan Xiaoqi ran over with a freshly printed form.

"Sir! Look at this!"

Wang Jixuan and Lingtong stretched out their hands at the same time.

Wan Xiaoqi blinked and handed the form to Ling Tong, who immediately gave it to Wang Jixuan.

"Let's watch it together," Taoist Wang smiled bitterly, "I'm used to being called superior by Mudan. In our team, I listen to Lingtong."

"Yeah," Lingtong could no longer suppress the smile.

The content on the table is very interesting.

So far, more than 5 brain-eating worms have been detected in the D war zone, and most of them have moved to other places. They can "change their position" in the spinal cord.

This phenomenon indirectly shows that they actually have the ability to receive external signals and receive early warning signals in advance.

These brain-eating worms are distributed in various fortresses in the D5 comprehensive war zone, and are found in almost all upper, middle and lower cities.

In other words, the blade beasts are monitoring humans in this way.

The table also specifically states that the D5 war zone is now the war zone with the fastest inspection progress and the largest population. The inspection speed of other war zones is relatively slow, but...

The number of infected people is getting higher and higher!

The D3 war zone has conducted in-depth testing on a population of million, and has detected brain-eating worms!
More than thirty low-level psychics infected by brain-eating worms appeared in the D3 war zone!
“This D3…”

Taoist Wang didn’t know how to comment.

"One more thing to consider."

Ling Tong said softly:
"There are some factions within these war zones. Basically, the local military and the House of Psionics are fighting for power. This brain-eating worm is an opportunity because D5 was the first to discover it, and the commander-in-chief decisively notified the commander-in-chief of each war zone individually.

"Among these numbers now, there should be a large number of individuals who were eliminated by the military in various places."

"this?"

Wang Jixuan had several questions in his mind: "Can this kind of thing be used to unite the party and fight against dissidents?"

Mudan sighed softly: "That's right, aren't human politicians always like this?"

"The range of your AOE is too large," Sister Wan said with a smile, "There are always more good people than bad people."

Mudan said: "Human nature is the most vulnerable to test. Mudan came to this conclusion after studying a large amount of human historical materials."

Wang Jixuan handed the form to Ling Tong, leaned back in his chair, and quietly thought about how to deal with the brain-eating worms.

This really stumped him.

We can't promote spiritual practice just because of this, right?
This will at least happen after he enters the Mahayana stage again or becomes invincible. By then, he can create his own skills and establish new rules, which will not violate the rules of the sect.

Wang Jixuan was thinking when his spiritual sense suddenly detected something unusual.

A soldier who was standing guard nearby shivered a few times, turned around and walked towards the transport plane, deliberately dropping his gun and raising his hands high.

The surrounding soldiers were confused by his strange behavior.

Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense immediately examined the man's entire body, but found no trace of the brain-eating worm.

The warrior's eyes glowed with a faint orange light, and he shouted:
"Half-human mecha! I'm here to negotiate!"
