[Chapter 169] The scene of the prey chasing scared Du Jin. He waved his hand and shook off the viscous liquid that seemed to be still alive on his hand. But at the same time, he heard a very suspicious sliding. The sound came from behind. It was the sound of some kind of object struggling to move forward in the colloidal liquid. Du Jin had only heard it in the school laboratory when testing the distribution of conductive fluid state. As for hearing this sound now, , Du Jin knew without thinking what was coming towards him, so he immediately turned his head and glanced back.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When you look at it, you are shocked. You can see a human face moving back and forth in the flickering lights behind Du Jin. When Du Jin takes a closer look, he realizes There was a scar on the left side of the face that Du Jin thought looked familiar. When comparing the overall face shape, You Chengwang's face suddenly emerged in Du Jin's mind.
"Commander You, how did you get here... Here you go..." Although it was clear that You Chengwang could not be like him. Arrived in the consciousness space of the star lady, but out of
"Courtesy" and insurance, Du Jin still said his words intact, but Du Jin has not finished half of what he said.
Behind "You Chengwang"
The "shadow" revealed a round shape in the dim light, and six spider-like arms escaped behind him at the same time. Du Jin took a closer look and discovered these
The "arms" are bone blade alien limbs that have been mutated like those of the corpse mutants and are specially used for killing. Even under the illumination of the dim yellow wall lamp, these bone blades are shining with a cold light.
Coupled with the reflection of the blood-red viscous liquid on the floor, at this time
"You Chengwang" in Du Jin's eyes seemed like an evil ghost who had just wandered out of hell. Wait, it was on the floor.
. . . . . . . . . Du Jin suddenly felt a moist and hot feeling in his calf, as if he was soaked in some kind of liquid. However, this temperature did not bring the slightest warmth to Du Jin's body. Feeling creepy, Du Jin's instinct to escape did not hesitate anymore. He immediately turned around and took steps to leave the room. But when he really wanted to walk, he discovered that these blood-red viscous liquids were the same as non-Newtonian fluids. , making it impossible for Du Jin to use the strength of his legs to move.
As most of us know, the most fundamental difference between solids and fluids is that solids will undergo elastic deformation after stress is applied, and solids will return to their original shape after the elastic deformation is removed.
Under this characteristic, when you apply pressure to a solid, the solid will produce a stable support force for you due to elastic deformation.
So, you can stand on the ground; but with a fluid, when you apply a stress to the fluid, the fluid does not maintain its shape, but flows in all directions.
Therefore, fluids do not provide stable support like solids. That is to say, you can stand on dry concrete, but on a lot of concrete that has not yet solidified, you will definitely not be able to stand and will sink directly. This is the most common and intuitive concept in everyone's daily life.
However, just because a fluid doesn't have the ability to maintain its shape doesn't mean that the fluid won't create resistance when you apply stress to it.
When you slap the water with your hands, you can clearly feel the resistance the water gives you. The more viscous the fluid, the greater the resistance it will give you, while the thinner the fluid, the smaller the resistance. This is called the viscosity of the fluid.
According to the above explanation, since the fluid is inelastic, the resistance generated by the fluid is not due to elastic deformation, but due to the fact that when you apply a certain stress to the fluid, the fluid will flow, but each part of the fluid The flow speeds are not the same. The direct flow speeds of different flow layers are different, so friction is generated. This friction is the cause of fluid resistance.
This is also the reason why Du Jin can't take a step forward at this time. It's not that he doesn't want to or doesn't have enough strength. In the face of strong physical resistance, even though Du Jin's current leg strength can easily kick away a car, but in a large area, In the deep viscous fluid, the greater the strength, the more burden it becomes. Just like in a swamp, the harder you struggle, the faster you will fall into it. Du Jin just raised his left leg and prepared to take a step. Due to the uneven force on one foot, Du Jin lost his center of gravity. Fortunately, Du Jin quickly held on to the wall on the side and did not fall into the liquid.
At this time, Du Jin glanced behind him from the corner of his eye and saw only
"You Chengwang" did not walk on two legs like Du Jin. Instead, it used the six alien limbs behind it to move its body at a horizontal angle and slowly walked toward him like a reptile, as if As if he was examining or teasing his prey, he wanted to wait until Du Jin completely lost the ability to move or lose the ability to resist, then kill him with one blow, and then he would enjoy it
"Dine". I have to say that this scene in front of me really shocked Du Jin. Why are people afraid of spiders?
Because spiders combine all the terrible shortcomings of insects: their legs are too long and too thick, they are too big, their belly is too big, their color is too dark and they look dirty, they crawl very fast, and they can spin silk flying in the air and stick to it. There is no way to get rid of people, or climbing to the ceiling makes people worry about whether they will fall on people, etc., and the one behind Du Jin
The necromorph that looks like "You Chengwang" is exactly like a large spider with a human face. Du Jin usually doesn't have much fear of spiders, but at that time it was mainly because the body size of humans was very different from that of common spiders. If he saw a spider, he would just kick it or pick up something at hand and smash it. , but now he is being attacked by a creature that is obviously more than twice as big as him.
The "human-faced spider" is chasing after him, let alone Du Jin. Even if any spider experts and enthusiasts in the world come here, they will run away immediately, because the two are not a concept at all, or they are not at all. Considered a type of creature.
"I'll go, what kind of rubbish fantasy is this!" Cursing in his heart, Du Jin held on to the wall and was about to run, but the problem was similar to the previous one. He couldn't move his legs at all. Could he crawl?
"Wait! Climb?" Du Jin suddenly thought of the feasibility of this method. It is the same as self-rescue in a swamp. The inside of the swamp is mainly water and silt, and the surface layer is water. When a person falls into a swamp, he mainly sinks into the silt. When standing on the swamp, the area in contact with the ground is small and the pressure is strong. The swamp is a mixture of solid and liquid, with more solids and very little buoyancy. Because the pressure on the swamp ground is too great, the person will sink. If the person is lying down or Putting a wooden board on it will prevent people from sinking, and the calf-depth in front of them is
In "Blood Pool", this method should be equally applicable. But he lay down on the smelly liquid in a stretched position as much as possible, and as expected, the degree of obstruction to Du Jin's actions was greatly reduced. Although the smelly liquid that was not stuck on Du Jin's chin really made Du Jin feel nauseous. , but in Du Jin’s opinion, this is better than the similar humanoid figure that is approaching behind him.
The "spider"-like necromorphs are much better. The next scene is a bit weird. If you look down from above, you will find that the two are crawling on the ground chasing each other, but the latter seems to be swinging his hands and feet so much that it is almost an afterimage. No one would have thought that those
"Afterimages" are alien limbs grown from necromorphs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . According to the layout in his memory, Du Jin crawled quickly in the direction of the disinfection corridor. Although he didn't know if it was his illusion, Du Jin found that the area of the isolation room was much larger than what he remembered. At this time, Du Jin felt that the distance was farther than a long-distance run of 1,500 meters: "How could this distance change so far? This is the consciousness space of Commander You's wife. In her eyes, this room is so Kuoda? That's right. After all, this is the isolation room where she and her daughter are under house arrest. It's reasonable to have such a sense of depression, but if it's put to me, I won't be able to understand and forgive it!" speculated. It was speculation, but what was left for Du Jin was the road in front of him. As he crawled, Du Jin felt like something was about to dig into his back many times. Fortunately, Du Jin relied on his extraordinary strength. It quickly dodged, but the corpse with the face of You Chengwang behind it was also enraged. It seemed that it didn't expect that Du Jin's ability to survive as a prey would be so tenacious, which made it become furious and speed up significantly. Instead of teasing prey before
"Have fun" attitude. Finally, after what Du Jin felt was a long chase of several hours, Du Jin saw the familiar wooden door appear in front of him, but unfortunately, the wooden door was tightly closed together, seeming to keep everything out. , including Du Jin, which made Du Jin feel a lot of pressure all of a sudden. He was not sure whether there were soldiers or the like guarding behind this wooden door. If you have other monsters made of blood seals staying there, wouldn't you go Seeking death?
But there was no way. He was very clear about the main purpose of entering this consciousness space that made him feel frightened. Now the shadow of the star lady was not seen, and even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't find a way.
After all, according to Du Jin's experience from previous explorations, only by finding the infected host can he find a way to leave this conscious space contaminated and controlled by the blood mark. Otherwise, he can only exhaust his physical strength and wait for death. , although Du Jin has not tried whether dying in the consciousness space will make him die in reality, but his intuition tells him that even if he can survive in reality, the price paid will definitely not be small, and he will not Go gamble.
Climbing to the wooden door, Du Jin stood up again while holding on to the wooden door. The viscous liquid that once again occupied his calves made his legs feel like they were filled with lead. It seemed to hinder Du Jin's ability to move more seriously than at first. This time A possible guess appeared in his mind: "No! These bloody liquids are becoming more and more viscous, almost solidifying, etc..." ... Solidification? Will these liquids gradually solidify? Then I will be solidified in these things sooner or later?" Thinking of this possibility, Du Jin didn't care whether it was a human or other creature behind the door, and started to use all his strength to He pushed the wooden door, but to Du Jin's expectation, the door seemed to be welded shut. No matter how hard he tried, it would not move at all. Du Jin had no choice but to knock and shout against the wooden door: " Ms. Xingying? Xiaoyou? Are you in there? I was sent by You Chengwang to rescue you? Are you in there?" The voice came out, but after waiting for two or three seconds, there was no response, and the necromorph behind him But he kept narrowing the distance between him and Du Jin, and You Chengwang's face even changed from dull to a strange smile, as if he was glad that he could get a meal of prey. Seeing this scene, Du Jin gritted his teeth, He was about to hold on to the wooden door and pull out his legs again, and continue to crawl around with the zombie. Although Du Jin's physical strength would eventually be exhausted, at least in his opinion, it was better than waiting to die. Much better.
Moreover, Du Jin couldn't help but step forward. He also has the skills to enhance his reaction speed and ability. With his current powerful strength, he can first break off the head of the necromorph, and Du Jin doesn't have the black blood seal as his trump card. After trying to use it, Du Jin felt that he was far from sitting still and waiting for death.
But at this moment, Du Jin was keenly aware of a faint voice coming from behind the door: "Chengwang, is he still alive?"
"What...still alive?" Du Jin heard some clues from these words. This weak female voice should be that You Chengwang specially gave Du Jin the voice of Ms. Xingying, the photos of his wife and the woman, and the collected voices, so Du Jin was no stranger to the owner of the voice, but what really puzzled him was that this Xingying The lady seems to think her husband is dead, but in reality she has some
"Crazy", but still sane in appearance, and even
I have "personally" scratched You Chengwang several times, so logically there shouldn't be such a cognitive difference. Most of the information that people process passes through the brain, and the perception of the world is inevitably affected by the brain, that is, subjectively.
In other words, although things exist objectively, when people recognize them, they undergo more or less subjective processing.
For example, the person You Chengwang now has different states in his wife's head, including survival in reality and death in perception.
The thing is still the same thing, but the scene in everyone's mind is different. Who is right?
This question is inherently meaningless. From different perspectives and with different information sources, the conclusions will naturally be different.
The best way to deal with a problem, I think, is to maintain a gray attitude until you look at it comprehensively and deeply.
"It seems that the blood mark is the trick. It would be nice if we could talk to her in detail and find out how the blood mark causes mental pollution and cognitive distortion. Forget it, we will talk about these after I am safe. Since she is now If she reacts to the name You Chengwang, let her open the door first and let me in." Then, Du Jin looked at the zombies getting closer and closer, and said to the door in a calm rather than urging tone as much as possible: "Ms. Xingying, your husband is still alive, and it was he who asked me to rescue you. Now your cognition has been distorted by the Heyi teaching. Please open the door first and let me in, and I will find a way to restore you to normal."
"..." There was no response from behind the door, which left Du Jin speechless for a while. Seeing those alien limbs shining with cold light getting closer and closer to his position, Du Jin's expression became more and more nervous. The appearance of the corpse mutant made it impossible for him to muster the courage to fight too much. , to be precise, this is not human beings’ fear of humanoids, but an extension of the uncanny valley theory. Humanoids, humanoid robots and wax figures are the uncanny valley theory. The part that we think is scary will have external manifestations. recognized by people as
"similar". However, their behavior is very different from humans, so it is difficult for humans to form empathy, and they may even panic and react against them.
"deformity"
"die"
"disabled"
The fear of "crazy" and so on, this is the source of fear. Du Jin had heard from Li Mengyan before that she and some teammates once relied on exoskeleton armor and some engineering tools, such as pipe wrenches, wrenches, crowbars and zombies. Although Li Mengyan did not clearly explain the outcome of the passionate hand-to-hand fight, Du Jin could tell from Li Mengyan's tone and expression at the time that the outcome was not very good.
It's strange. Although the alien limbs and bone blades of the necromorph seem to be sharp, they are still far from being able to easily penetrate armor. However, judging from Du Jin's several actual combat observations, they can be immune to small-caliber kinetic energy bullets. Light exoskeleton armor with low-power laser rays cannot withstand the penetration of these bone blades and alien limbs. Even heavy exoskeleton armor cannot withstand some mutated zombies, such as the evolved version of the Splitters, similar to the Splitters. This type, or special branches of far beyond necromorphs such as jumpers and lurkers, can pose a great threat to heavy exoskeleton armor.
The stiffness of cortical bone depends on its composition and structure. The bone cortex is composed of 50% water and 17% water.
75% fat, 12.4% organic matter and 21.85% inorganic salts. The tissue structure composed of these substances is very delicate, including multi-layered inner and outer ring bone plates arranged in parallel on the inner and outer surfaces of the bone cortex, multi-layered cylindrical bone plates arranged in concentric circles, the Haversian bone plate, and the Haversian bone plate filled between the Haversian systems. Irregularly arranged interosseous plates.
Bones are like a hard scaffold for the human body, supporting the outline of the entire body. Bones are divided into cortical bone and cancellous bone, with the cortical bone being very hard.
The hardness of diamond is 10. The hardness of enamel, the hardest bone tissue in the human body, can reach 6 to 7. The hardness of ordinary bones can reach 4 to 5. Bone tissue is like reinforced cement concrete, which is both hard and tough.
Among them, the organic matter of bones is like steel bars, forming a network structure and arranged closely in layers, making bones elastic and tough.
The inorganic substances of bone, especially the hydroxyapatite formed by the combination of calcium and phosphorus, will be tightly filled in the network structure of organic substances, just like the cement in reinforced cement, giving the bones considerable hardness and solidity.
But even so, the hardness is still a little worse than ordinary steel. Steel is an alloy. In addition to iron, it also contains carbon, manganese and other elements, so it is particularly hard. We can adjust the hardness of steel by adjusting the proportion of elements. .
Research shows that the hardness of steel is also between 5 and 7 degrees. Therefore, according to this hardness classification, the hardness of teeth and steel is almost the same, both ranging from 5 to 7 degrees.
If physical parameters such as toughness and ductility are added, the difference between the two is incomparable between the sky and the earth. What's more, the alloy materials used for exoskeleton armor in the Blood Seal World are by no means the performance and materials that ordinary steel can achieve in this world. It can be seen that these necromorphs created by Blood Seal through infection and control have evolved entirely for the purpose of hunting civilization.
And now Du Jin relies on his body wearing one, or rather three pieces of clothing, to fight hand-to-hand with this mutated corpse that is obviously different from the Split Man, even though Du Jin has strengthened reaction nerves to speed up his reaction. Ability, but when it comes to fighting this monster in close combat, Du Jin only has a 20-80 certainty. When holding a weapon, 8 is naturally Du Jin's chance of winning, but now, 8 is obviously his chance of failure.
Just when Du Jin raised his fist to prepare for an attack, he heard
There was a "pop", which was obviously the mechanical sound of some kind of door lock opening. Du Jin didn't hesitate much, and directly hit the wooden door with a sideways assist. The wooden door that just seemed to be integrated with the entire room was knocked open completely, and there was no time to look at it. Seeing something in the room in front of him, Du Jin immediately looked back and pulled the wooden door that had not been opened halfway, closing it with all his strength. However, due to the influx of the viscous liquid, it was no longer possible to close it like before.
Realizing this, Du Jin could only stand up and hold the wooden door with his back. On the one hand, it was to slow down the viscous blood-like liquid from infecting the room, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the corpses from chasing him behind him. The mutant broke through the door. As soon as Du Jin resisted, he suddenly felt a sharp stinging sensation on his left shoulder. He looked down slightly and saw a sharp bone blade piercing his left shoulder. It obviously penetrated the door panel directly and pierced his shoulder. Du Jin was wearing a blue-black uniform. Even so, he could see a large pool of brown blood appearing from the clothes on his shoulder, and it was constantly expand.
"Fuck, no one has this kind of luck!" Du Jin cursed angrily in his heart, but still pressed his back against the wooden door, otherwise there would be no chance of taking advantage of the powerful thrust behind the door.
