Chu Nan took a breath of air conditioning and fell backwards.

The huge headless rhino corpse fell to the ground with a bang. Many insects were crawling out from the broken corners, densely packed. At first glance, there were countless numbers. The whole rhino's body was like the nest of these insects, and the blood in the rhino's body had long been sucked dry by these insects.

"This is...what bug..."

Chu Nan's hair stood up and barely turned around, but saw Su Yao, silent, Tang Sanli and others running towards the back door of the zoo. Tang Sanli ran away and shouted: "Chu Nan, hurry up, come here-"

Chu Nan did not escape, but turned around and watched another lion pounce towards him.

The lion was stinking all over his body. He was obviously dead, but he could move. This was not a mutant species, nor was it like a corpse transformer.

Because although the corpse transformer was resurrected from death, the body that died could not continue to rot like ordinary corpses because of the effects of the pineal gland and the Force. However, the corpses of these animals emitted a foul smell and were obviously rotting.

Therefore, this lion is not an animal corpse transformer.

"No wonder... I just killed the rhino and didn't absorb the Force... They can move... because..."

Chu Nan was moving his body, and his right spider claw suddenly swung out.

The lion that rushed over was cut into half by the spider claws in his hand at waist-length.

The lion, which was broken into two sections, rolled out, and no drop of blood was flowing out of the wound, only a large number of strange insects like white maggots were drilling in and out.

Like the rhino, the lion's body was already eroded by insects, and even more serious. It fell heavily to the ground, and the skin in many places was broken, and a large number of insects fell out.

Chu Nan turned around and kicked another gorilla that rushed forward.

The gorilla was kicked to the air and its stomach broke out, and its belly was empty, with only a large number of white insects gushing out.

Unspeakable nausea, Chu Nan retreated repeatedly.

Chen Si and others who were originally panicked and fleeing also slowed down, and they all realized a strange phenomenon.

Except for the rhino at the beginning, other animals, although they were resurrected, their speed of action was not as fast as they imagined, but they were just as comparable to ordinary corpse transformers, and some were even worse than those.

Such a speed of action cannot threaten them at all.

"Oh my God... what are these bugs?" Tang Sanli suddenly exclaimed.

A squirrel rushed to them and was smashed heavily by Chen Si's hand with the steel bars. However, what the smashed squirrel exploded was not blood and meat sauce, but a pile of white maggots.

Everyone felt creepy when they saw it, and they retreated repeatedly, fearing the insects crawling around the ground.

Chu Nan flashed and cut open the corpses of several animals in his hand, then fell to the rhino horn, grabbed the rhino horn, which was one meter long, and swung it suddenly. Perhaps the rhino's head was already eroded, so he easily threw it away.

I now look at the rhino horn in my hand, but it is solid and there are no insects in my heart.

After getting the rhino horn, Chu Nan flashed and soon arrived at Su Yao and the others. Looking at the corpses of animals coming over, he said in a deep voice: "They can move because these strange insects and the corpses of each animal have been eaten up. Only the rhino seems to be better because of the rhino horn..."

A dense array of animals flocked to the ground, and everyone retreated one after another, and soon retreated to the back door of the zoo.

However, the gradually decaying animals that were chasing the back door slowed down and seemed to be hesitant to continue chasing them.

"Let's go." Chu Nan and his men rushed out of the back door of the zoo without any hesitation and soon left here.

The animals that were rushing over, shaking and after hesitating for a while, began to return to the piled place.

In the lawn in this beast area, there is a hole with a diameter of about thirty or forty centimeters. Previously, because the corpses of these animals were piled up, the hole was covered up by the corpses of animals.

Now, these animals scattered, and the holes were revealed. The strange insects like white maggots were coming in and out of this hole, as if the holes led to the ground, their nests were found.

Below this hole, a strange cocoon with a diameter of about 40 or 50 centimeters was climbing on the cocoon, as if the nutrients absorbed from the animals' corpses before being injected into the cocoon. After the injection, the bodies of these insects became significantly thinner, and then crawled out of the hole again and absorbed new nutrients from the animal's corpses, and kept going back and forth.

A large number of animals returned and piled up, and soon covered the holes in the ground again.

Of course, the eight people who escaped Chu Nan did not see this scene. They escaped from the zoo. Everyone gasped. Thinking about the strange scene before, they were still scared.

"What kind of bugs are those? They can eat up all the corpses of those animals? What's more terrifying seems to be able to control those animals to attack? This is so weird, completely beyond common sense." Shen Mo felt incredible.

"It's not beyond common sense. In this situation, there were similar existences in the previous nature." Although Mr. Jiang was involved.

The others looked at Mr. Jiang, not knowing what amazing words he was going to say.

"Have you heard of zombie ant fungi?" Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Mr. Jiang continued: "This is a fungus that existed 48 million years ago. It can change and control the behavior of ants by releasing a certain chemical substance, making it its own puppet until the ant dies."

"The scientific name of this fungus, Ophiocordycepsunilateralis, was found in the leaves of the Messel Fossil pit near the city of Darmstadt, Germany. These trees lived about 48 million years ago."

"At present, this fungus still survives on the earth and usually parasitizes on wood ants. Once the wood ants are infected with this parasitic fungus, their behavior will be controlled by the fungus. The fungus continues to grow in the ant's body and releases chemicals to affect the ant's behavior, making it a "zombie ants."

Everyone's scalp was a little numb when they heard it.

Chu Nan changed color slightly and said, "There are really such fungi in this world? Why have you never heard of it?" Although he is a veterinarian, this is the first time he has heard of such strange and terrifying fungi in the world.

Mr. Jiang looked at him and continued: "The zombie ants controlled by fungi no longer have their own behavior and life, and the final stage of their lives is also the most painful and terrifying. In the last few hours of their lives, the zombie ants will crawl under the leaves, bit the central leaf vein with their jaws, thus trapping themselves on the leaves, and at the same time the parasitic fungus is also locked on the leaves. This leaf becomes the tomb of the ant."

"Zombie fungi can infect ants, occupy their brains and control their minds. Once the ants move to the area that is most suitable for their growth and spreading spores, they will kill them and kill them. After the zombie ants die, the parasitic fungi will sprout from their heads, produce spores and 'launched' onto the forest cover at night, thereby infecting other ants."

"Of course, ants are not the only hosts of these fungi. Many insects are prey for this feed, such as wasps, flies, crickets, etc.... Of course, what we have discovered now is just a corner of the ice of zombie fungi."

Su Yaoxue turned pale and her face turned pale, and she murmured: "There are such terrifying fungi in the world."

Mr. Jiang said: "However, fungi are something that can help nature maintain normal operation. It can be said that for the health of the earth, the importance of fungi is difficult to estimate."

"Old Jiang, when you talk about this zombie fungus, do you mean the insects that eat animals..." Chu Nan suddenly asked, his face becoming ugly.

Mr. Jiang sighed slightly, his face also became heavy: "After the earthquake, since we humans, various animals, and even dead people can mutate and evolve, then... why can't this zombie fungus mutate and evolve?"

The others finally understood what Mr. Jiang said, and felt cold in their hearts. They looked at Mr. Jiang together, and Shen Mo said in a lost voice: "Old Jiang, you don't mean that those insects may be evolved zombie fungi, this... this..."

Mr. Jiang shook his head and said, "I can't say anything, but... if there are zombie fungi in nature that can infect and control insects such as ants, wasps, flies, etc., then it is not surprising that things that can control animals... or even control us humans... will appear."

The others were silent and felt a chill in their hearts.

Parasitize the human body, controls people's thoughts and actions, and ultimately kills the host and finds the next infected person...

Everyone was a little creepy. Chu Nan thought of the dense maggots, the rhinos, lions and other animals that were eaten up. Flashes of chill surged up on his back.

"If thousands of animals are infected, how many such terrible things will be... and, I'm afraid there will be more and more... Once it is infected... what will happen..." Chu Nan murmured, and couldn't help but look back and look at the escaped zoo. For the first time, he understood why the zoo was silent and terrifying.

Why are all the animals gathered together? There... maybe there are secrets of those bugs.

"Chu Nan, what do you think?" Mr. Jiang suddenly asked.

Chu Nan said: "I wonder if those insects are afraid of fire and high temperatures... Maybe we can set a fire and burn all the animals' corpses, together with those damn bugs."
