Chapter 6: The Difference Between Kabane and Parasitic Beasts

Yun Hong emptied the furniture in the living room, leaving an open space that could accommodate a circular formation with a radius of up to three meters, and opened the lid of the stone box to see that the half of the body inside the Kaba inside was like a river fish jumping out of the ground and writhing wildly, the dry skin of blue and black was lifeless, the internal muscle tissue was still active, and the cracks with an orange-red shimmer extended from the heart to the surroundings of the body, and the most surprising thing was that the body that was torn by him with the stone spear just now was slowly reshaped.

"It's not a zombie at all, it's more like a human being transformed into another creature... Parasitic beasts. Yun Hong frowned and came to the conclusion, picked up the knife used to cut the fruit, and cut the stiff and tough muscles in Kabane, and the hot blood flowed out, although the nature of the blood has changed, since the prototype is a human, it should be a good basic alchemy material.

"Kabane is repairing at this rate, and it is expected that it will take about three days to fully recover."

"The body still has a temperature, about 46 degrees, and the closer you are to the heart, the higher the temperature, and the temperature of the heart part is as high as 55 degrees." Yun Hong's wrapped left hand was placed on Kaba's chest, and his mind synchronized the mechanical recording information.

Cutting open Kabane's chest with a knife, it was found that the internal muscles and deformed internal organs were all covered by reddish blood vessels, and the heart could be covered with a three-dimensional spider web-like steel film, which was Kabane's weakness, the strength of the steel film could not be broken even by ordinary steam guns, and the heart that emitted orange light was still alive, and the strong beating made people believe that this was the vitality that a human or a corpse should have.

"The heart is in a sense the brain of the Kabane."

Yun Hong looked at the strangely beating heart with a blank face, trying to gather information and waiting for the hot blood flowing from Kabane's body to accumulate to a certain level, now his mind was in a state of excitement, and he had an unparalleled thirst for knowing the unknown, and in doing so, he maintained a rigorous rationality.

"It is necessary to avoid all forms of direct physical contact with the Kabane."

He found a brush to use as a paintbrush, and used the blood of Kabanai as a material to draw a complex refining formation on the ground, and this time he was able to draw a complex and regular refining formation diagram without using tools.

Everything was ready, and there was an extra circular complex formation with a radius of nearly three meters on the floor of the living room.

Yun Hong squatted down, put his hands in front of the refining array and closed his eyes, using his consciousness to contact the refining array, and when he opened his eyes for a long time, his eyes lit up with surprise, the blood in Kaba was more active than human blood, and it was more suitable to become the basic material for drawing the alchemy array. Placing the body of Kabanei in a stone box in the center of the array, the entire living room lit up with a strange dark blue as the refining array activated.

A considerable part of the knowledge of the villain in the bottle belongs to the biology in "Fullmetal Alchemist", and viewers who have watched this work will probably be deeply impressed by the plot of a biological alchemist refining his daughter into a synthetic beast, and Yun Hong is using this knowledge to analyze the biological structure in Kaba.

"Biological Structure Analysis."

"The material structure is determined, the spiritual structure is determined, and the soul structure is missing." Yun Hong's consciousness that closed his eyes manipulated every process of refining the array, and all the changes in Kabane's body from macrocosm to microcosm fell into his mind. "Fullmetal Alchemist" believes that the three major elements that make up human life are the body, spirit, and soul, and the spirit is the bridge between the body and the soul, and the lack of any of them will break this balance.

"Repeat the second resolution."

"Confirm the traces of mental activity and detect the level of mental activity."

······

After more than half an hour, the faint blue halo emitted by the refining array dimmed, Yun Hong lost his strength and fell to the ground, gasping for breath, sweat wet his clothes, as if he had just been drenched in a torrential rain, he was not polite, and directly lay on the ground to rest, recalling the information obtained by using the refining array to analyze Kabane just now.

"The first is the definition of Kabane, it is not a zombie, and there is an essential difference between the existence of Kabane and the transformation of humans into unconscious creatures due to the invasion of the virus."

"The first difference is that Kabane is a living creature, with higher activity than humans, and the structure of Kabane virus is different from that of all living beings on the earth and microscopic organisms, and it is extremely aggressive to biological cells."

"The second difference is that Kabane is not a human, it has been completely transformed into another species, and the human body is the fertile soil for cultivating Kabane."

"The head is the best evidence, the head was originally the nerve center of all living things, and if the head of Kabane is broken, it can be restored, which means that the command system no longer belongs to the nervous system of the human body, if it is not the nervous system that directs the body, what will it be."

"Those active blood flowing from the heart to the body, when the kabanevirus invades the human body, it will destroy the nervous structure of the brain and seize the control of the body, including brain cells, all biological cells are invaded and transformed by the kabanevirus invasion, this process is irreversible, once the invasion is not successful, then the host will be transformed into kabaneri, retaining the structure of the nervous system to control the body."

"That is to say, the human body is not immune to the invasion of Kabanevirus, and more detailed experiments are needed. Kabanevirus can be seen as a disaster, but also as an important opportunity to promote the development of geobiology, just imagine whether the use of kabanevirus can be used to treat human physical diseases, if someone has a car accident and has to have an amputation, can kabanevirus also be used to help patients regrow a leg in just a few days.

Yun Hong narrowed his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the living room: "Kabanei in various senses can't help but be reminiscent of another animation "Parasitic Beast", in which the parasitic beast also did not invade the protagonist's brain and was forced to fuse with the protagonist's right hand, and the protagonist became a species between parasitic beasts and humans, "Kabaneri of the Iron City", Kabaneri explained in Japanese as [corpse], that is, between humans and Kabane. ”

"At least the Kabane and the parasitic beast exist in the same form. Humans are human beings, Kabane is Kabane, and humans are just the hotbed of Kabane's birth, so you can clearly explain the setting in the original anime. ”

"They don't attack humans for the purpose of eating people, and if one human is infected with the Kabane virus, they will attack other humans, and the pursuit of greater efficiency will transform humans into Kabane species."

Recovering his strength, Yun Hong propped up his body and looked down at the remaining half of his body in the stone box, and his mind opened: "If you think about it, isn't this setting similar to the prequel "Prometheus" of "Alien", it is possible that Kabane was originally a biological virus used by aliens to eliminate humans, and when Kabane exterminates all humans, the aliens will release a virus that can make Kabane extinct, but the aliens who can study this creature should not be able to level the human civilization in the steam age." ”
