The Vulture Effect

Chain tapeworm, also known as pork tapeworm, pig tapeworm, or hooked tapeworm, is the main human parasitic tapeworm in China.

From a biological classification perspective, it belongs to the invertebrates, tapeworms, and the family Belonidae. The body length is shorter than that of beef tapeworms, usually 2-3 meters long and 7-8 millimeters wide, with a total of 800-900 segments. The mature segments at the back end are about 10 millimeters long. The head is spherical in shape, with a diameter of about 1 millimeter, and has 4 suction cups, as well as a apical protrusion and 2 small hooks, hence it is also known as a hooked tapeworm.

Human beings are its only ultimate host, usually parasitic in the small intestine, which can cause pork tapeworm disease. The main intermediate host is pigs, and cysticercus mostly parasitizes in the muscles, liver, brain and other organs of pigs, appearing as white dots. Pork with cysticercus is commonly known as "bean pork" or "rice heart pork". People are infected by eating undercooked pork that contains cysticercosis. Cystic cysticercosis can also parasitize in human muscles, brain, eyes, and other areas, causing cysticercosis.

The mutated black pig fell down and was pierced by a 30 centimeter long knife by the warlord. However, in fact, this pig had already been killed by the warlord's high jump and a punch to the head. Afterwards, it was actually the pork tapeworm parasitizing inside the mutated black pig that had been controlling its body to launch an attack on the military.

There are many types of parasites in the body of pigs, in addition to tapeworms, there are also roundworms, whipworms, nodular nematodes, renal nematodes, pulmonary filariasis, and so on. Even tapeworms cannot have only one.

Most wild organisms contain parasites, and when mutated, their metabolic mechanisms are comprehensively enhanced, which will kill the parasites in their bodies as soon as possible. However, this tapeworm unexpectedly gained an opportunity when the black pig mutated, and also mutated, resulting in a symbiotic mutation with the black pig. This situation exceeded military expectations.

After wielding his three times longer knife with the power of an 8-centimeter small man to open the stomach of the black pig, Wu Wu experienced another loss of strength. This time, the mutated tapeworm that coexisted inside the black pig seized the opportunity to emerge and directly entangled with Wu Wu.

The power of militarism is too strong, emitting strong crystal energy radiation, deeply attracting this tapeworm that has obtained a one in ten million chance to symbiotically mutate. In order to absorb militarism, it even dares to leave its host's protection and personally takes risks to entangle with him.

At this moment, Wu Wu was weak, but even then, Wu Wu still advised Tom to leave quickly.

A mutated parasite not only has an increased body size, but can even control the host's combat and continue to use abilities. No one knows how strong it can be.

Although Tom has amnesia and is called a poor soldier, he has never been a timid and selfish person deep down in his heart. Faced with the dilemma and advice of his master's military prowess, he rushed forward without hesitation.

Previously, Black Pig was too strong, and there was a tall warrior standing tall, so Tom could still watch. Now that Warlord has escaped from being trapped, let him abandon Warlord and turn around to run away... Even in Tom's amnesia, it does not exist in his dictionary.

The variation of tapeworms is not fully reflected in their body shape, but rather in their mental improvement. The body, with a width of about 7 centimeters, entwined with military prowess, actually resembled a white python, but the sharp barb on the head with many small flagella resembled an alien from a horror movie.

The barb thrust towards the warlord's head, but was dodged by his side. The second thrust was directed towards his neck, and his body was entangled in the neck, which could not be avoided. The barb pierced his neck with just one thrust, and the flagella around the barb quickly extended into the wound.

For a moment, the warlike eyes suddenly widened and engulfed the black pupils, like those controlled people in fantasy movies.

But at this moment, Tom had already rushed forward. With strong strength, he grabbed the head of the mutated tapeworm and pulled it out before it could control the military.

The mutated tapeworm's hooked head was very angry. It turned around and stabbed at Tom, but he tightly pulled it open with his hand. The movable part of the head was too short, and the hook swung fiercely but could not hook Tom's head.

After twisting a few times, the mutated tapeworm had a clever idea and directly released its entanglement, allowing its lower body to wrap around Tom instead.

"Quickly take the adults away!" Tom entangled with the mutated tapeworm, distancing himself while shouting at the bone armored warriors who were evading him.

However, the Bone Armor warriors were running over when suddenly many ants, mice, and flying insects emerged from all around, rushing towards the mutated black pig from all directions.

"The Vulture Effect appears, immediately launch defense!" The captain of the Bone Armor Warriors immediately issued an order upon seeing this. The Bone Armor Warriors, who had originally planned to rush to rescue the warlords, had to change their direction. They all took out their weapons and focused on the mutated Black Pig's corpse, attacking the creatures from all over with their guns.

Captain Bone Armor shot and exploded an incoming mouse, kicked away a mutated cockroach, and then turned to Tom and shouted, "Our main task now is to resist the Vulture Effect. You'll be the one to handle, Warlord, poor soldier!"

Tom finally understood why he came out with more than thirty Bone Armor Warriors, despite being so fierce. It turned out that he was just dealing with this situation.

Although it is unclear what the Vulture Effect is, at present, the Warmth cannot move, and the Mutant Taenia is entangled with him as a target, so he can only focus on fighting against it.

Although the mutated tapeworm has not grown in size, its body strength and resilience have improved significantly. Tom entangled with its hooked head while competing with its lower body, trying not to let its wet and soft long body get entangled. From time to time, it also needs to be pulled with both hands, hoping to break its body.

However, even with all his strength, the mutated tapeworm's body could not be pulled and could not be harmed at all.

Both sides were deadlocked, surrounded by swarms of insect and sea squirrels attacking. Even with the Bone Armor warriors intercepting and defending, there were still some fish that missed the net approaching. They even targeted Tom and jumped directly onto him. Fortunately, Tom kept swaying and dodging, slowing down the entanglement of these little things and allowing the nearest bone armored warrior nearby to shoot and clear the siege.

A few times later, the mutated tapeworm became impatient. Its body length was usually 2 to 3 meters, and now it is only the tip of the iceberg exposed. The other end of its body is still symbiotic inside the mutated black pig. Just now, the warlord broke the stomach of the black pig and also damaged the crystal inside, which caused the tapeworm to lose control of the black pig's body.

Now the mutated tapeworm is eager to get out of trouble, once again activating its control ability, causing the arms of the skeletal giant that was just convulsing to move.

With a loud bang, the skeletal giant punched Tom and was dodged by him. Subsequently, the fist, either directly or sideways, was narrowly avoided by Tom, and in the end, it had to open its fingers and grab Tom.

This scene is very strange. Tom grabbed the head of the mutated tapeworm, while the mutated tapeworm controlled the symbiotic hand of the black pig and grabbed Tom's body. Both sides formed a logical loop for a while.

Although the black pig's hand caught Tom, the mutated tapeworm dared not lift him too high because Tom still held onto his head and didn't let go. The higher he pulled, the easier it was to pull his body out of the black pig's body. Therefore, he could only tighten his palm and try to squeeze Tom to death.

However, the palms of skeletal bones are mostly composed of bone structures, which makes it difficult to grip them too tightly, and for Tom, the damage is naturally limited. A few times later, it began to try to pound Tom onto the ground, repeatedly, hoping to rely on vibration to make Tom let go.

These few moments did indeed cause him great pain, but when Tom woke up from his coma, most of his body was destroyed by the explosion, and the process of his body's gradual rebirth was accompanied by intense pain. The pain in front of him was completely unbearable.

"What should I do?" Tom was patted back and forth by the black pig's hand on the ground, his body being confined and constantly bumping in pain. At the same time, his internal organs couldn't help but flip, causing him to experience severe dizziness.

Suddenly, a cool feeling quickly flowed from his waist onto his head, causing a sharp pain as if someone was using an electric drill to push against the solar system.

He gritted his teeth and sweat kept rising from his body, quickly making his entire body wet.

The pain lasted for a few seconds, and his head suddenly became clear. Then his eyes turned black, and suddenly he became clear. He found himself in a strange space.

A strong thought flowed around his body, and he looked around, only to see a faint and elusive long snake sliding rapidly around.

He realized that this might be related to the mutated tapeworm, so he quickly searched for the predicted trajectory of the virtual and real long snake, and after a few strokes, he suddenly reached out and pulled out the long snake from the void.

The long snake struggled incessantly, but it was different from the body of the mutated tapeworm just now. It was very fragile. Tom pulled it in two with both hands, and then the long snake's body disintegrated and dissipated. The surrounding void suddenly shattered and cracked, and he saw dozens of bone armored warriors holding bone guns and blades surrounding him, constantly killing the insects and mice rushing from all directions.

This made him realize that he was the dead mutated black pig at this moment.

He looked at the arm he had raised and found a skeletal giant's arm in his field of vision.

"Am I controlling the Skeleton Giant?"

Just as he was speculating, his head suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a mournful shout rang out in his mind: "Help... help... I don't want... I don't want... help... it hurts so much... my arms... my legs... my stomach... don't pull me anymore... please forgive me..."

The excruciating pain made him twitch, and then his eyes turned black again. When he opened his eyes, a bone armored warrior approached his field of vision and looked at him. He recognized that the patterns on the bone mask were very familiar, and it was the captain who led the team this time.

"You're awake, that's great, so I can explain it to Lord Wu."

"Lord Wu..." Tom was startled, "How is he doing?"

The captain helped him up and sat back on the hand of the skeletal giant, pointing to the other end. "The adults are supervising the excavation work," he said

The mutated black pig looked inside with a serious expression, seemingly sensing Tom's gaze. He turned his head and nodded at Tom, then a dazzling blue light shot out from the opening of his abdominal cavity, shining on his cold and stern face.

At that moment, Tom remembered an alien from a movie.

"Avatar!"
