【Chapter 509】Hunter and Prey
The painful and sad memories of the past have resurfaced in this team leader's mind. Revenge was his only thought when he joined the army, but until now, he doesn't know how many strongholds where terrorists have been destroyed, and he doesn't know how to capture and interrogate them. How many agents of overseas anti-Xia organizations have he encountered? This knot has always been deposited in his heart. Every time he goes to sleep, he will have nightmares and be awakened. He dreams that he is sitting on the ruins, with corpses covering the bloody ground, with broken limbs. Weaving through it like needles and threads, the slight stench of the rotting corpse attracted flies of all colors to buzz.
He immediately understood what he was relying on. At this time, the candle sun is about to set in the west and is teetering on the horizon. The orange-red glow reflected the red blood, dyeing these cold and pale corpses with a rosy vitality. It seemed that they would breathe in the next moment. And every time he turned his head, he would find that the corpse behind him was the one he was most familiar with. People, his soldiers, friends, or his wife who has a bad temper but loves him from the bottom of her heart. Of course, the faces that appear more often are the faces of his dead family members.
This time, he realized that a certain string in his heart had been stretched to the limit. He suddenly felt tired. Looking at the dim light from his squinting eyes, he gradually began to close his eyes and began to wait for his own. Darkness fell... The moment his eyes closed, the gloom and desolation in his heart were suddenly replaced by an extremely hot emotion. Before the team leader could react, his body felt like He was suddenly lifted up by some huge force, and a strong sense of suffocation came immediately. He seemed to be at the bottom of the sea, with only the last breath left in his mouth.
When he was about to pass out due to the suffocation, he suddenly felt a large amount of moist air pouring into the tip of his nose. His survival instinct made him struggle hard. Although the "sea water" around him was sticky, every wave made him feel... He was a little closer to the sunshine on the sea. When he was almost exhausted, a hand stretched out from above the sea and suddenly grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up.
"Ahem...huhuhu..."
The team leader suddenly sat up. The "survivors" who were pressing on him had been moved away, and the harsh fire bells disappeared immediately. Although the water curtain was still sprinkled in some sprinklers, no matter in terms of scale or size, The flow rate was much lower than before. After he coughed up all the water in his lungs and trachea with all his strength, he looked up and saw a young man with a familiar face appearing in front of him. The young man was squatting on the ground, placing his hand on the head of the mechanical dog.
"You...you are...Du Jin...Mr. Du?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Du Jin did not answer his question directly, but said to a busy figure on the side:
"Zheng Feng, someone is awake. Go and see if there is any residue on him."
"yes!"
Then a man who didn't look oppressive on the outside, but who could see an almost solid intimidation in his eyes, walked towards him, which made him want to get up and sit down, but this man The team leader was in pain as he regained consciousness. It was very difficult to even move, let alone stand up. Zheng Feng ignored his expression and movements and walked up to the team leader to take a look. His protective suit was still full of scratches, and then he stretched out his hand and placed it on the outside of the other person's forehead.
At this time, the team leader discovered that some relatively viscous liquid was dripping down from his forehead. He stretched out his hand and touched it, only to find that it was blood. Zheng Feng said in time:
"You are lucky. Although you were forcibly disconnected from those biological circuits, we arrived in time and intervened before it was completely assimilated to your nerves. Your consciousness was saved, but this nerve erosion has brought The sequelae are still unclear, so you have to be prepared."
"Nerve...erosion?"
Hearing this unfamiliar but extraordinary-sounding word, the team leader asked in confusion. Zheng Feng did not explain it anymore. After all, to be honest, Zheng Feng was still in the dark about blood seals and erosion. He firmly believed in his heart that Du Jin gave him the power and opportunity to take revenge. No matter who Du Jin's enemy was or what kind of existence he was, he would fight against it, even if the opponent was the so-called "god"... ..
"Zi..."
The mechanical dog whose head was pressed by Du Jin suddenly made a burst of electricity, and then the main body of the machine completely fell to the ground. Du Jin then stood up and said to the team leader:
"Lieutenant Chu, I believe that you can join that special response team and you are also the leader of a combat team. You must know some inside stories, so I won't waste my time explaining the most basic things. You guys The people the team encountered before, or the controlled puppets, were all eroded by creations extended from the debris found on the moon by Xia Guo. You can understand this kind of erosion as a contagious method of control. They Infection can occur through direct contact with the skin, eventually turning a person's nervous system, that is, the brain into something else, which, according to a word in ", means to seize the body."
"Replacing personal consciousness?"
Most of the confusion in Lieutenant Chu's eyes faded away, replaced by seriousness and solemnity. This kind of infection is almost unbelievable to the current treatment system. There are countless viruses and bacteria that can kill people, but in the killing It becomes horrifying to be able to occupy a person's body and consciousness while dying.
"Mr. Du, you must have a solution, right? If you can break through the protection of those infected and come to rescue us, you must have a way to fight against that alien creation, right?"
Looking at Lieutenant Chu's eyes full of hope and expectation, Du Jin looked away slightly. Although he didn't want to be helpless against the erosion of the biological circuit of this blood seal like half an hour ago, the means Du Jin had at his disposal now could It was said that it could only be used to protect themselves and rescue some key personnel. Shortly after Zheng Feng woke up, a large number of infected people walked towards their location. When Du Jin was preparing to leave with Zheng Feng, he I found that the narrow road had been blocked by a swarm of people.
But these infected people seem to have obvious shortcomings in intelligence. It is most likely because the blood mark has not eroded to the point of completely controlling a person's body, and can only simply drive their muscles to perform mechanical repetitive actions. Therefore, when the narrow employee passage is crowded, these people will not stop and pass one by one. It is also the people behind who continue to squeeze and force the people in front to move. Du Jin understands that this is a precursor to a stampede, but from the previous After trying it, it turns out that the "Tonghe" and the blood mark in his body have no effect, and may even catalyze the further erosion and spread of those biological circuits.
When Zheng Feng saw the scene in front of him, he naturally understood that he could not sit still and wait for death, so he walked aside and prepared to use brute force to clear out the people who were blocking Du Jin and his path. Even if he wanted to pay some life for it, he would not have it. What kind of conflict is there? After all, all Zheng Feng can think about right now is that he wants to take Du Jin out of here, and then make those who betrayed and betrayed him pay the price. As for the lives of these ordinary people, in normal times he might protect them. But now that they have become a stumbling block on his road to revenge, it is naturally impossible for him to show mercy again.
Zheng Feng's body has already possessed extremely strong recovery capabilities after being strengthened. Although it is impossible to match Du Jin's self-healing ability, it is completely possible to quickly repair the damage to muscles and other soft tissues in the body. Previously, due to excessive The side effects of injecting three strengthening medicines in a short period of time have almost recovered, but the pain and numbness that Zheng Feng could detect have been basically eliminated. As for the hidden dangers and problems that may exist in genes and DNA sequences, they are all gone. That's a story for another day......
Soon, Zheng Feng was splattered with a lot of blood. His push or punch was no joke. Even if he didn't use all his strength, it was not something ordinary people could bear. These infected people After the blood comes into contact with the skin of Zheng Feng's body, it immediately begins to erode and assimilate. However, the blood mark that controls this erosion may be surprised to find that while the biological circuit is eroding Zheng Feng's body, Zheng Feng's flesh and blood are also working in the opposite direction. Assimilating those biological circuits, the two began a fierce confrontation. It was completely different from the previous "wolf eating sheep" situation. Now it was more like two wolves fighting for their respective territories.
This is because when Zheng Feng strengthened himself, with the blessing of Du Jin and gene-enhancing potions, he reversely "digested" the biological erosion circuit that tried to take advantage of him when he was weak, making it his own. Part of it has a direct reason, that is, at the moment when this confrontation occurred in Zheng Feng, Du Jin suddenly noticed a wave similar to mental erosion. It was impossible for Du Jin to admit his mistake for this feeling. The blood mark in this world was indeed not reflected in his consciousness and consciousness. Flesh Corrosion has worked hard to evolve the corresponding corrosive ability.
But if it wants to complete the control of infected people through biological circuits, it needs to use a special energy position to intervene to ensure that these "people" assimilated by biological circuits are under its control, instead of wandering around relying on instinct like stragglers. In this way The puppet has no value for the power and foundation it wants, and this energy stance is still essentially a manifestation of energy waves. Like sound waves, light waves or the human brain's own brain waves, they all have frequencies. distinctions and differences, and then intervene and influence the magnetic field of things themselves.
Du Jin once asked Xiao Ai to conduct analysis. Although it is impossible to thoroughly analyze "Tonghe" and blood seal with the research equipment on Ganymede, even so, Xiao Ai can use its powerful analysis and calculation capabilities to We came to the conclusion that whether it is the erosion of the blood mark or the purification of "harmony", it is the result of the mutual influence on the energy position and the magnetic field. The blood mark uses its own ability and position to assimilate the brain waves of the "prey", Then, by changing its magnetic field, it undergoes a series of processes such as disintegration, corruption, and reorganization, and finally turns it into a necromorph.
After all, molecules essentially rely on magnetic fields to complete their aggregation and separation. From this fundamental point of view, the birth of those necromorphs is also based on science. However, humans have not yet explored the capabilities and technology to this step. From the chemical level In other words, it can be said that atoms are the basic units that cannot be further divided in chemical reactions. That is, under this premise, atoms can be regarded as the smallest components of matter. After rising to the microphysical level, judging from the current progress of scientific research, electrons can be regarded as the smallest component of matter for the time being, because there is no evidence that electrons can be further divided.
Of course, further development of science may lead to the discovery of more basic minimal components. Let’s talk a little more about protons. Protons and neutrons are the building blocks of the atomic nucleus. The nucleus and the electrons outside the nucleus make up the atom. The reason why atoms of different elements have different properties is mainly because of the different number of protons in the nuclei that make up their atomic nuclei. Regarding this prerequisite, protons can also be said to be the smallest component of matter.
Therefore, what is left to human beings are still endless roads and journeys. Only after completing these can they compete or communicate with the civilization that created the blood mark. Before that, the positions of prey and hunters will not change in any way. This is indisputable. fact...........
