Chapter 118 Absorption and Being Absorbed
Even the "Lone Wolf"'s skin, which had been strengthened to withstand bullets, did not prevent the alien limbs from breaking out. As a large amount of rancid-smelling blood spread in the air, a limb with a narrow bone blade came out. The piercing clothes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. For a moment, Du Jin didn't know whether it was reality or a dream. Then, a strange arm "grown" on the back of the "lone wolf" again, and the two twinkled under the sunlight. The bloody bone blade made people feel chilly. At this time, the "lone wolf" turned his head impatiently and stared in the direction of Du Jin... ........
Well, with his gradually dimming sight, Du Jin couldn't tell where the "Lone Wolf"'s eyes were at this time. The face of the "Lone Wolf" at this time was definitely appalling, and his skin was like broken tofu. , a large amount of it fell off, and only a small amount stuck to the tendons and flesh of the face. His mouth had been "torn" along the corners of both sides to open a huge gap, although Du Jin could not see the gap clearly at this time. What is there now, but based on Du Jin's previous knowledge of the appearance of the corpse, it probably has nothing to do with human tongues and teeth.
"Hiss----------"
"Lone Wolf" made a cry like a low roar of a wild beast. If he paid attention or was conscious at this time, he would definitely find that the degree of alienation of this corpse mutant was much lower than that of him on the "Eden" Among the corpses of the "Eden" encountered on the ship, except for the legs, which did not undergo huge mutations, the rest of the bones and limbs were obviously deformed, such as human arms becoming as wretched as a baby, plus The skeleton of the corpse is lifted up, and the two original arms are located on its abdomen. They squirm from time to time, which is quite eye-catching, not to mention the head and neck.
But at this time, the corpse mutant in front of Du Jin didn't know whether it was "underdeveloped" or because it lacked the biological genetic modification necessary to improve the blood mark. Although the "lone wolf" had mutated at this time, except for his face and the back There were no obvious changes in the rest of the parts and limbs of the two alien limbs. Of course, Du Jin didn't have clairvoyance skills at this time, so he couldn't see whether the skin under his clothes had changed, but he always To put it into perspective, this Necromorph feels much less oppressive than the Necromorphs Du Jin encountered in the Blood Seal World, which often start at over 2 meters long.
But after all, it was only a relatively small sense of oppression. It was difficult for Du Jin to maintain consciousness while his whole body was getting colder. There was no way to ensure his own safety, and escaping was even more of a luxury. What? Do you want to drag your body with constant blood loss and multiple fractures and slowly leave here on your stomach? The possibility of this kind of thing succeeding is no less than the possibility of the United Church converting itself and destroying all the blood seals in place.
After this "malnourished" corpse mutant saw Du Jin, or to be precise, when it saw the large pool of blood next to Du Jin, it rushed up without hesitation, as if it could "break out of its shell" in advance. "It has a lot to do with Du Jin's blood. After it came to Du Jin's side, it stretched out its hands that had not been alienated too much and wanted to pick up the blood and feed it to its mouth. Du Jin on the side was really worried. Ma Pengteng, at this time, his body was affected by emotions and had reached a point of immediate collapse.
Emotions do not only affect people's thinking. They can also have many effects on the human body, such as fear. At the most basic level, fear is a cognitive response to a threat and the rise of a series of chemical processes. It promotes Our bodies prepare and move themselves away from danger. Our central nervous system is where the response begins, sending a signal to an area of the brain (the thalamus), which then transmits this signal to the amygdala via the neurotransmitter (glutamate).
Glutamate is also responsible for sending fear signals to the hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray matter. The latter, also known as central gray matter, is involved in our responses to pain, fear, and anxiety; when activated, it puts you in a state of heightened vigilance, preparing you to run away. The hypothalamus, on the other hand, is responsible for helping you decide between "flight" and "fight" and triggering the release of adrenaline - whether you decide to run away or fight on the spot.
At the same time, the release of adrenaline turns on another major organ, the liver. The liver will begin to secrete glucose, which will provide you with extra energy when it enters the bloodstream. In addition, the body also secretes the steroid hormone "cortisol", whose role is to keep the "flight or fight" response running.
However, what if neither response saves you from danger? In some cases, you may let out a mind-numbing scream. There's a reason for that: Research shows that the areas of our brain that detect screams are completely different than those used by other human sounds. The temporal lobes are responsible for perceiving language, and screams go straight to the amygdala, where fear responses are processed. This means that whether you are the screamer or the recipient, your brain's response is similar.
Here's the scary thing: What happens if you really can't get away from that axe-wielding madman chasing you? If he catches up to you, you'll most likely feel severe pain. When you are injured, neurons called nociceptors send messages to the brain. After the amygdala receives the information, it attempts to tell the brain to do everything it can to prevent the injury from happening again. Afterwards, you lay dead on the ground. Assuming you don't have extensive brain damage, your brain can still function even if you are "clinically dead." According to recent research, it appears that this is when the brain undergoes a final surge associated with consciousness. The clichéd near-death experience, in which you might see lights and have your entire life flash before your eyes, does seem to have a chemical basis.
Then, you truly die. What happened after that we don't know.
The sound of the zombie licking blood could be vaguely heard in his ears. Du Jin first felt that he was extremely excited, as if he could stand up and run away. However, this feeling did not last for a few seconds. It seemed that he was "a lone wolf" before. "With that stabbing blow and a large amount of blood loss, Du Jin's internal circulation had completely collapsed. After that strong stimulation, Du Jin fainted uncontrollably. At the last moment when Du Jin fainted and lost consciousness, Jin seemed to see his parents and Secretary Qing running towards him. He wanted to say something to tell them to leave immediately, but the blood in his mouth and throat could only make him say "woo woo woo". A faint and unexplained sound.
Then Du Jin's consciousness completely dissipated, and his slightly raised head completely fell down. The corpse next to him obviously didn't pay attention to this, and was still sucking Du Jin's blood selflessly, following the pattern on the ground. Due to the size and depth of the blood pool, the blood loss exceeds at least 50%, reaching the theoretical limit of human blood loss. At this time, the human pulse almost disappears, the blood pressure is almost undetectable, the sinus pulse of the heart stops, breathing stops after 30 seconds, and the brain becomes extremely lack of oxygen. <---Under this situation, the human brain can only persist for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the brain cells will enter an irreversible state of death. According to current medical technology, if the patient is already on the operating table at this time, after undergoing Emergency blood transfusions and hemostatic measures may save lives.
At this moment, the corpse mutant, which had sucked a large amount of Du Jin's blood, suddenly became extremely anxious. The next second it spread its legs and tried to get away from Du Jin, but without taking a step, the corpse mutant knelt down. Bursts of roars and roars began to erupt from the ground. If Du Jin was awake at this time, he would find that the corpse mutant was constantly gushing out substances similar to the red mist he had seen in the Blood Seal World, but in terms of color. It was much darker. After the mist emerged from the corpse, it floated to Du Jin's side, and Du Jin's body at this time automatically absorbed these unknown auras.
It does not require the permission of his consciousness to be absorbed by the black blood seal as before. Of course, this method of overriding is very beneficial to Du Jin, who is dying at the moment. The black blood seal in his mind changes again under the influence of these red mist. It has to become active instead of being as lifeless as before. The lines of red runes at the bottom of the statue seem to flash faster and the color seems to be slightly darker. Although there is no qualitative change effect, at least the black blood seal is now active. The degree means that it has recovered from hibernation, which also means the feasibility of time travel.
In reality, there were a lot of rapid and heavy footsteps around the alley. It was obvious that the roar of the "lone wolf" when mutating, including the roar of the corpse mutant, made the search team aware of the abnormality. , for this rare opportunity, the search team, which was almost losing hope of hunting down the "lone wolf" and rescuing Du Jin, was extremely excited. They relied on the accompanying police dogs and the acoustic detection equipment they carried to quickly lock in Then, based on the layout of the alley, they quickly moved towards the source of the sound with a double-teaming force. For the possible escape routes of the enemy, these agents also made corresponding blockades and personnel deployments.
At this time, in Derong City, hundreds of kilometers away from Wanglong City, Du Jin's parents seemed to sense something, and their hearts trembled suddenly. Du Mu, who was cooking, turned off the gas stove, put down the spatula in her hands and walked quickly to the living room. Father Du, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, also put down the newspaper in his hand. The two looked at each other. Their years of married life gave them a tacit understanding, and they said almost at the same time:
"Call Xiaojin!"
The issue of telepathy sounds very fantasy. At least at the current stage of science, there is no way to fully explain it. But according to most facts, it does exist. The so-called telepathy is actually a high degree of compatibility. The resonance of thoughts. If two people who truly love each other can have telepathy, theoretically speaking, it does exist. And there is no mystery at all, it is just a common thing between Aiwu and Wu Lingxi.
Men and women who fall in love think about each other's thoughts and worries about each other's worries. Each other's words, deeds, and smiles are all worth rooting in each other's hearts. Of course, it is not surprising that they have some common thoughts, and life Not to mention relatives who are together and related by blood.
If you have to talk about a man and a woman who truly love each other, there is a way to talk about telepathy. We have to apply a little causal theory to explain this problem.
Everyone knows that a truly loving couple will never do what he or she wants when it comes to emotional issues in this life. The relationship between husband and wife is as deep as the sea, and they are highly attached to each other and complement each other. I am used to a kind of emotional compatibility and understanding.
This is a high degree of spiritual and ideological reconciliation, and time has already transformed them into an intimate community that shares joys and sorrows. This kind of mutual causal direction and connection is destined to have a spiritual resonance that will be rooted in each other's hearts. When one party encounters a disaster or emergency, it will cause the other party's mind to be in a trance. , this is the kind of telepathy that exists between couples who truly love each other.
This cannot confirm the authenticity and reliability of this phenomenon, nor can it explain a set of credible principles from a scientific perspective.
There is only an emotional rhetoric to choose sides from the standpoint of true love, but most people believe that telepathy is the product of a highly compatible relationship between husband and wife.
The theory of supernatural beings has always been a puzzling thing, and there is no scientific basis to explain it. But for things that cannot be explained, we cannot say that they do not exist. We can only say that with the current level of science and technology, it may not be possible. Explain clearly! But that doesn't mean you can never.
Telepathy, as a surreal phenomenon, exists in our lives. Although sometimes we are full of doubts, we cannot solve our doubts.
But this kind of affection between husband and wife is all-encompassing, and it can be explained by telepathy. Although there is no evidence, it is easy to accept. Perhaps this is the highest state of true love!
Life is unpredictable and things are unpredictable. There are too many unknowns in life that are hidden in the period. The principle of being patient with the world and patient with the heart is also embodied in such a kind of change. You can have thousands of things. There are thousands of explanations, but the most basic meaning of life is one. Whether you believe it or not, true love is immortal. It can move the heavens and the earth and induce feelings. Things that are difficult to explain with any explanation happen in ordinary life. middle.
Since it is a kind of spiritual induction that cannot be explained, why do we need to think of it as mysterious? If there is a way, when sincerity reaches the point, metal and stone will open, and when love reaches the depths, it will naturally come true. Isn't this good?
When it comes to telepathy, if you believe it, there will be something, but if you don't believe it, there will be nothing. Then we just believe it. An extra psychic warning is not a bad thing after all.
