Chapter 12: Capabilities
tachycardia, increased blood pressure, fever and sweating, enlargement of the extremities, and neurodegeneration of pain......
Todd's brain was racing.
Combined with the parasite of the adrenal gland, these symptoms are clearly a manifestation of a large amount of adrenaline secretion!
The battle continues.
The pain in his arms brought the giant back to consciousness, and he drooped his shoulders and swept his right leg toward Huggins' hem instead.
The man's eyes widened, and he said that it was not good, so he hurriedly withdrew his hands and protected them on his chest, blocking this leg whip.
With a slight crack of bone, Huggins was kicked into the air with tremendous force, slammed face down and back on top of the cavern, and then fell hard to the ground.
The giant opened its mouth and roared, lifted its big foot and stomped heavily on Huggins' head.
Todd looked frightened and wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how he could help. Suddenly thinking of the ghostly speed of Edgar behind him, he hurriedly pointed at the man on the ground and shouted, "Edgar!
A gray afterimage swept in front of him, and Edgar sped to Huggins' side before the giant's feet landed, dragging him aside.
Bang!
Jerry stomped on the empty ground, and the ground shook slightly.
Looking at the giant's lower abdomen, the "leech" that constantly expands and shrinks, Todd quickly recalls everything in college pathology class in his mind.
When the concentration of adrenaline increases, the blood vessels of skeletal muscle, liver, heart and brain will be dilated, so that the blood will flow more and provide enough oxygen and nutrients, thereby greatly improving the body's motor function and physical attributes;
But judging from Jerry's physical appearance, the secretion of adrenaline is too much, which causes the body to be overburdened, the brain's self-discipline consciousness declines, and there are even precursors of adrenaline poisoning.
Gotta find a way to cool down his adrenal glands!
Comparing the methods of dealing with one after another in the college classroom, Todd felt that things were not so simple.
Neuroblockers and excitatory suppressants used in medicine are now simply not available. Even if it can be obtained, it will be an impossible task to let this mad giant eat it.
However, if only the physiological function is reduced and the blood circulation is slowed down, there may be some solutions......
Edgar supported the incapacitated Huggins on his shoulder, using his speed to dodge the giant's attack, while enduring the pain and weakness caused by the black gas on his shoulder, heavy breathing and a pale face, all showing that the child could not hold up for long.
Todd shouted at the two, "Huggins, Edgar, is there any cold around here?"
Struggling to pull the gloves from his waist and put them back on, Huggins whispered a word to the people around him.
Edgar nodded, helping the man to run out of the cave.
The three people who fled for their lives were in the underground cave, with the giants who were chasing after them, and finally came to a natural underground river.
Following the people in front of him, little Jerry jumped into the river, because of the cold and biting water temperature, his movements became slower and slower, and finally accompanied by a low roar, he fell unconscious beside the river.
Todd, who was invaded by the cold and shivered from the cold, gradually lost consciousness in the hunger and cold.
————————————————————
I don't know how long it has been.
Todd slowly opened his eyes, and a large, rough hand was placed on his forehead, and the warm power flowed from the top of his head all over his body.
"He's awake!"
Huggins' usual loud voice rang out first.
The boy's thinking is a little out of step with reality: "I'm ......"
With his left arm wrapped in planks and bandages, the Slavic man scratched the back of his head and said with joy on his face: "Praise the Father!
Master Myris withdrew his palm and glanced sideways at Huggins, causing him to immediately shut his mouth.
Slowly sitting up, Todd looked around, Master Myris, Huggins, Edgar, and Jerry Jerry all came to his side, looking at him with concern.
After the teacher admonished the students and the students assured that they would not mess around again, Master Myris announced that the classes would be suspended for the two days, and Todd would concentrate on his body.
After the old man left the room, Huggins and Edgar breathed a sigh of relief, one found a chair and sat down on his own, and the other sat cross-legged on the floor against the corner. Jerry was left alone, bent over with his head against the ceiling, standing respectfully by the bed.
Looking at this thin eighteen-year-old with a timid face, Todd could not connect him with the rampaging and ferocious giant in the cave.
Shaking his head, he turned to the others and asked, "Are you all alright?"
Huggins smiled wryly and pointed to his arm, then touched his back in pain. Edgar twisted his shoulders and bared his teeth.
Todd paused, wanting to ask what was going on in the underground caverns, but he didn't know where to start.
Huggins looked at his expression, probably guessed something, and simply explained to him directly: "Master Myris once told you that we are all aliens. I don't think it's a big deal to tell you the truth about us now. ”
As he spoke, he took off the gloves of one hand, and a faint black aura slowly emanated from the man's palm, Huggins looked at the palm of his hand and sighed: "My xenomorph ability is weak, and any creature that comes into contact with my hands will slowly lose its vitality and die of exhaustion." ”
The man who put on his gloves again pointed his finger at Edgar: "This kid's ability is speed, and his speed is even faster than a war horse running with all his might. ”
Turning his gaze to little Jerry, the man felt the throbbing pain in his back, and said angrily: "This guy's ability is berserk." In a short period of time, you can gain several times the strength, speed, and pain resistance of ordinary people, but you will lose your mind and attack people around you at will. Once the time is over, you will fall into a coma. Moreover, he would automatically go into a berserk state every once in a while, once a month, but then it became shorter and shorter, until it was now three days. ”
Twisting his neck, Huggins continued, "Last night was his furious time, and we were going to trap him in chains, let him pat the wall, stomp his feet, vent for a while, and it would be over. Unexpectedly, you found ......"
Todd looked depressed.
I guess my curiosity kills the cat.
