Chapter 382: A Strange Death
Su Yichen and Luo Yan hurried to the lower cabin, and when they arrived, Kevin. Adams, Gao Jian, and Tang Le have been waiting anxiously for a long time, especially Kevin. When Adams saw Su Yichen and his wife, he hurriedly greeted him.
"What the hell is going on? How's it going? ”
"Not good, very bad." Kevin. Adams looked solemn, with an indelible anxiety on his face.
Su Yichen didn't say much, and went straight to the door of a cabin, this is a closed cabin, the proportion of air inside the cabin is completely set according to the original ecological planet, the internal space of the cabin is not large, but it is not small, about 50 square meters, there is a fixed bed in the middle, but this bed is very different from ordinary beds, because this is a bed equipped with an energy beam pulsation device, and the previous one on the original ecological planet inexplicably shot at Su Yichen and them, The man who was eventually captured was lying quietly on the bed.
Su Yichen didn't need to enter the inside of the cabin, just standing at the door, he could clearly see the scene inside through the equipment, and through the equipment, he could also observe the person in 360 degrees without dead ends.
For this strange person, Su Yichen certainly has a deep memory, and he can even be said to be particularly attentive. After all, the human body has never seen such an intelligent creature capable of exerting such a huge amount of energy, and even the humans of the Rand civilization do not possess such ability. Although the other party was captured, whether it was before or now, Su Yichen and the others had never had the idea of killing him, even on the original planet, if it wasn't for the other party suddenly attacking Su Yichen, Su Yichen planned to have a good exchange with the other party.
Even now, the other party has become their own captive, but all Su Yichen did was to extract samples of other body tissues such as fur and blood from him, plus use this device to prevent the destructive power caused by his awakening, and nothing else was done. Not to mention any harm.
But when Su Yichen came to the door, he was stunned when he saw the person lying on the bed for the first time, and at the same time his expression showed surprise, puzzlement and doubt.
"How can this be ......?" Su Yichen couldn't believe his eyes, and Luo Yan, who saw the scene in the cabin later than him, suddenly exclaimed, and couldn't help but cover her hand in her mouth.
They couldn't believe their eyes, the man lying on the bed was still majestic on the pristine planet not so long ago. The one who burst out with great ability and the one they fought?
Su Yichen even involuntarily turned his head towards Kevin behind him. Adams and the others looked over, and they also showed helplessness, doubt, anxiety and incomprehension, and nodded slightly to him in confirmation.
On the original planet, although that person didn't look like a particularly muscular strong man, he was a very healthy warrior, with an ordinary appearance, about the same height as Su Yichen, and his age looked like he was about 30, maybe younger. But now the man lying on the bed looked like an old man. The skin on his body was saggy, losing its healthy luster, and the muscles under the skin were suffocating, and part of the skin seemed to be hanging from the bones. A face is several times older than before, if he was a young man before, but now he is an old man who is dying. The pale blonde hair had also turned a dull white, sparsely clinging to his scalp, and around his head. Some of the same gray hair fell out, and one by one it looked like dead leaves blown off by the cold wind in autumn.
The naked body on the outside was dry. Even the entire length has been shortened by a few points, this is not an illusion, this is the scene that Su Yichen and they saw, like a young man who has spent decades in a very short period of time and is about to come to the end of his life.
"When will it happen? Isn't it good when we go to rest? Su Yichen tried his best to restrain the fear in his heart and saw such a body. It's a little hairy in my heart. In fact, it was not only him, but Luo Yan was also the same, her eyes were round, and she covered her mouth with one hand, this old man lying on the bed who looked like he was about to die was too different from the person who fought with them before.
"Half an hour ago." Tang Le replied for everyone. Su Li is responsible for the control of the entire ship plus some other work, while Kevin. Adams was doing the genetic analysis of the samples taken by the other party, so the work of the lower cabin was temporarily taken care of by Downer.
"Half an hour ago? All of a sudden, he became like this? Su Yichen frowned and asked.
"It's not." Tang Le shook his head: "The change started half an hour ago, and the signs of his aging were gradual, but the time process was very fast, and in just a few minutes, he changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and then continued to change, and it only took ten minutes before and after to become like this." By the way, all processes are documented, would you like to take a look? ”
"I'll see later." Su Yichen waved his hand, where did he have time to read any records now. Glancing back at the aging man in the cabin, Su Yichen set his eyes on Su Li.
"I've tried to control it, but all ordinary means have no effect, this degree of aging is definitely not normal, maybe it is the result of some key point hidden inside his genes."
"Is there any way to control it? Life support pods? Or hibernate ......? Luo Yan saw that this person was so old that she couldn't bear it, and asked hurriedly.
Su Li shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Mom, I'm afraid not." ”
"Can't do it? Why? Could it be that the equipment on the spaceship could not save him? Luo Yan was surprised, she was terminally ill back then, and it was because of the role of the life support module at the Pluto base that she was reborn. In her opinion, since ordinary rescue treatment cannot be effective, then the only way to save him is to use the survival pod. Anyway, if they hadn't landed on that pristine planet and encountered him on the planet, he wouldn't have become what he is now.
Su Li still shook her head, and she explained a few words. Because this person's genes are extremely special, and he doesn't know what molecules are working in his genes, the aging of cells is extremely fast, and in this case, it is useless to either give him emergency hibernation or use a life support chamber. Moreover, there was a reason why Luo Yan was able to rely on the life support capsule to recover back then, because the genes of the earth humans originally carried the genetic part of the Rands, and to a large extent, the genetic differences between the earth and the Rand people were very small, plus Ike stayed on the earth and used the life support cabin equipment when he was transforming the earth humans. That's why Luo Yan can regain her youth.
"All we can do now is try to alleviate his situation, but I don't think his time is running out." Su Li finally explained, and Luo Yan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Su Li's explanation was understood by everyone, if it wasn't for Tang Le who first notified Su Li when he found out about the problem, and Su Li used some equipment on the spaceship to control this person. Then maybe you can't wait for Su Yichen and his wife to arrive, this person's life is over.
But even so, judging from his situation, his time was running out, and the man lying on the bed was almost at the end of his life, anytime and anywhere.
Su Yichen's heart was very uncomfortable, he didn't know how this result could be caused, and he didn't understand why he became like this. But one thing he knew very well was that if they hadn't landed on that pristine planet and didn't encounter this man, he would still be alive and well.
"Do you have any results from your analysis?" Su Yichen sighed lightly in his heart. It may have been a mistake to capture this person, but the mistake is irreparable now, and he made up his mind and set his sights on Kevin. Adams.
Kevin. Adams shook his head in frustration: "It didn't work out well. ”
"How?"
"See for yourself." Kevin. Adams took out a test report and handed it to Su Yichen, Su Yichen took it and frowned at a glance, although he is not a medical professional, he can still understand this report, the report only shows that the genetic similarity between this person's genes and human genes is about 95%. Only a small part of the different 5% has results, but the key parts are not all blank.
"He's genetically weird. The stable gene part is fine, and the other part has been changing since the sampling, and even inexplicably hidden and transformed, I think maybe that's why he has become like this now. ”
Kevin. Adams explained a few words, but such explanations made no sense. Ninety-five percent of the genes match those of humans on Earth, which doesn't do anything at all. You must know that the genes of intelligent life of many cosmic civilizations in the universe are largely consistent. This is caused by the particularity of the origin of life, just like the genes of the Blue Star people and the genes of the earthlings are also 99% consistent, but the difference of 1% is the difference between the two cosmic civilizations.
On Earth, there are many animals that are genetically similar to humans, such as primates such as orangutans and monkeys. Their genes are about 96% consistent with human genes, which is more than the genetic match between this person and humans on Earth. And some other animals, such as rats, dogs, pigs, which look completely different from humans, but their genes are 85% to 95% consistent with humans. Adams' test report was of no avail and a complete failure.
"Then ......." Su Yichen looked at the report carefully, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, the alarm in the cabin behind him sounded.
Hurriedly looked back, only to see that the person lying on the bed suddenly struggled violently, he was still unconscious just now and actually woke up, and his body that had become dry did not know why it burst out with great strength, although the energy beam device still trapped him firmly on the bed, but his strength was still unimaginably strong, judging from the instrument display data at the door of the cabin, it was incredible.
"What's wrong? What happened to him? Everyone watched nervously as he struggled, and at the same time couldn't help but ask. But no one could answer this answer, because even Su Li, an intelligent being, couldn't tell what was wrong with him.
I saw that he struggled a few times, but he still couldn't break free from the beam of the energy beam pulsation device, and the eyes he opened were no longer as clear as before, showing the cloudiness of an old man. He looked left and right, then saw his body, his expression first showing fear, then helplessness, and then actually laughing.
He opened his mouth and smiled, and the teeth in his mouth fell out one by one with his laughter, and at last there was only a hollow toothless grin. Laughing for a while, he didn't know what he was saying, the voice was not loud, but everyone outside the cabin could hear very clearly through the device, this language that he had never understood before, was completely different from the language of the Galen civilization, and even more different from any other cosmic civilization they mastered. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't take much time to decipher this language result with Su Li's intelligence, so as to communicate normally with the other party.
"How long does it take to crack?"
"At least 50 minutes." Su Li replied, this answer made everyone very disappointed, because no one knew if this person could hold on for another 5 minutes, let alone 50 minutes.
And the truth was not even 5 minutes, only about 3 minutes, the voice of the man who did not know what was muttering this began to get softer and softer, and finally he finally died after spitting out the last syllable, his mouth was half open, his eyes that had lost their luster became gray, and the whole person did not move at all.
"He's dead......." Su Li sighed lightly.
That's right, he died, died in a strange way under everyone's gaze, even what is the name of this person, which civilization does he belong to, why did he live on that pristine planet, and why did he take the initiative to attack Su Yichen and Luo Yan. More importantly, as an intelligent being, how could a person have such great power? And what happened to his death?
These questions bothered them, looking at this lifeless, silent body, everyone was speechless for a while, and the only thing that could represent their mood at this moment was perhaps a long sigh.
The man was dead, and everything he had done before was almost worthless, but when Su Yichen was a little discouraged, Gao Jian suddenly reminded them that this person was dead, but the strange creature was still alive, maybe all the answers could be found from it.
"Is the little guy still alive? Is it okay? Su Yichen had forgotten it before, and was reminded by Gao Jianyi and hurriedly asked.
Su Li gave a confirmed answer, the little guy was not only alive but also alive very well, in the cabin not far away. Hearing this news, everyone's depressed mood just now suddenly became much better, maybe they can really get the answer to everything from this little guy as Gao Jian said. (To be continued......)
