Chapter 566: Inside the sarcoma
That is, this is a "man who has risen from the dead".
Although those who have sanity among the living dead are also called "zombies", to be precise, they are just some evolved humans, and although this evolutionary process is extremely painful, it is definitely not called death.
Compared to the evolutionaries, the evolution of the "living dead" does not seem to be ideal, but in any case, the seemingly terrifying broken body gives them the ability to survive radiation.
But...... The guy who came out of the sarcoma in front of him is obviously different from the living dead in the wasteland - the most important point is that there is no such high level of radiation pollution in this underground mall, and even ordinary people, as long as they have enough food and water, can live here for a long time.
Radiation is a thing, although deadly, but it is an important catalyst for biological evolution, whether it is the living dead or mutated creatures, it is created by radiation, and for Qi Lin, radiation energy is a "experience point" that can be directly used to upgrade.
Qi Lin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"I'm dead...... He's dead? ”
Qi Lin repeated the last words that the monster had said before his death, and at the same time squatted down in front of the monster's corpse and began to examine it.
Soon, Qi Lin discovered the problem.
"Yanqiu, come and see, this guy seems to have a problem......
At the spine of the corpse, Qi Lin found a row of fine needle-like holes, which he hadn't cared about at first, after all, many of the mutated creatures had bone spurs that broke out of the cortex, just like the spiny dragons of the Jurassic, and the bone spurs on the surface of the body could become their powerful weapons.
At first, Qi Lin thought that these holes were reserved for bone spurs that had not yet grown, but when he pressed his fingers up, he found that there was a hard object under the eye of the needle.
He immediately used a knife to cut the skin at the eye of the needle, and then used the tip of the knife to dig out a small metal tube about two centimeters long and only one millimeter in diameter.
The middle of the metal tube was hollow, neatly arranged along the monster's spine, which couldn't help but make Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu think of the earliest models of the neural control power armor.
At that time, because the nerve connection technology was not as mature as it is today, the driver had to pierce the electrodes in the seat into his spine if he wanted to connect himself to the power armor, and in order to reduce the burden on the driver and prevent infection caused by multiple punctures, these drivers who volunteered to participate in the power nail test underwent an operation before entering the cockpit.
This surgery involves making a row of small holes in the driver's back along the spine, but burying a hollow metal tube into it, and when the wound heals, these metal tubes will become one with the driver, and then only the electrodes need to be inserted along the metal tube to connect to the spinal nerves, eliminating the need for a puncture step every time you enter the cockpit.
This is a bit like the human beings in the classic movie "The Matrix" who are full of slots.
Could it be that this monster used to be the driver of an old-fashioned neurally controlled power armor?
However, the characteristics of its current physical body are obviously very different from those of humans—the skull is several times smaller than that of normal humans, the sternum is expanded, the upper limbs are extremely thin and long, the arms that droop when standing can completely touch the ground, the lower limbs are thick and short, and the knee joints are in a state of reflexion similar to that of horses, which allows it to have stronger explosive power, and has more advantages than humans in jumping and sprinting.
In short, this is a monster, not a person.
After such a drastic change, the tiny metal tubes should not have been left in its body at all, and the neat order of arrangement has not changed in the slightest.
These metal tubes are more like they were implanted in the body after the monster's body was finalized.
"And here."
Cheng Yanqiu also found something suspicious - on the sole of the monster's foot, there was a tattoo, although it was a little blurry, but it could still be seen that it was a string of barcodes.
"It's a test subject, it's not a naturally occurring monster, it's artificially created." Cheng Yanqiu said.
"Artificially created monsters? Who would have made that? And why put it in such a place...... And that's it...... Do humans really have this kind of technology? ”
Thinking back to the scene of the siege before, it seems to be like a hell in myths and legends, and only in hell can such a terrifying thing be born.
"I don't know." Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, although the Cheng consortium also has its own biological laboratory, it can be seen from the fact that Cheng Su still needs to send Cheng Mu to other places for transformation, and the Cheng consortium's investment in this area is not large.
"Subject...... Since this guy is an experimental subject, then that sarcoma ......! ”
Qi Lin suddenly remembered something, stood up and ran towards the sarcoma that had a large crack open.
This time, when Qi Lin stepped on the area covered by the flesh membrane, there was no previous monster attacking him, and it was obvious that everything here had already died with the death of that guy.
Qi Lin walked in front of the sarcoma, only to see that the crack was pulled diagonally, and a large amount of pungent and foul-smelling liquid was slowly flowing out of the inside of the sarcoma.
He stretched the sarcoma's crack open a bit with a steel pipe and looked inside—
With just one glance, Qi Lin couldn't be calm at all.
Inside this sarcoma, it is completely an artificial cultivation warehouse!
All kinds of metal structure precision instruments, stranded cables, transparent quartz tubes, etc., etc., these things are neatly inlaid on the inner wall of the sarcoma, and in the middle position, there is an arc-shaped metal frame, and on the metal wall in the middle of the frame, there are many gold needle-shaped electrodes!
"What the hell is going on?" Qi Lin suddenly turned to Cheng Yanqiu, "Could this be ...... Did your 'organization' do a good job, right? ”
"Everything here has nothing to do with the 'organization'," Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, "Whether it's on that corpse or here, I haven't found any traces left by the 'organization'." ”
"Maybe you don't have enough authority to know about the existence of this thing?" Qi Lin asked.
"No, no, there's no reason for the organization to do such a thing...... Because...... Our purpose was to prevent this from happening......"
