Inhuman?

Zhou Zhen remembered a legend he had heard, when the Moscow explosion occurred, about 15 kilometers away from the center of the explosion, there was a small village called Severnier, the village was razed to the ground by a nuclear bomb, but dozens of villagers miraculously survived.

It is said that they fled into the mountains affected by the nuclear radiation, became extremely aggressive monsters, and from time to time they haunted the outskirts of the three-dimensional city, hunting passers-by and horses, and the business alliance searched and rounded them up many times, but found nothing.

The survivors of the explosion were called Inhumans by the local population, but could these terrifying legends about radiation be true?

Zhou Zhen accelerated his movement, looking for the direction of the human voice, he found the camp where he and Lieutenant Colonel Dong had stayed last night, the bonfire was still burning vigorously, the two good horses were quietly tied to the tree next to the tent, and Lieutenant Colonel Dong was lying motionless in the grass, his chest slowly rising and falling as if he was asleep.

A covered carriage was parked in the dark behind the tent, and Zhou Zhen could not see the situation on the carriage clearly, and two bandits, an old man and a young man, were arguing around the campfire, and they were obviously the sentinels in charge of reconnoitring the broken off.

The taller and younger bandit pointed his rifle at Lieutenant Colonel Dong on the ground, and viciously suggested to his gray-haired companion: "Why don't we kill this lieutenant colonel, and then kill the alien in the swamp, so that we don't know it." ”

The old bandit grabbed the barrel of his gun and raised his chin in the direction of the carriage: "God doesn't know it? And what about him..."

The young bandit frowned, and his voice seemed a little timid: "He, he doesn't..."

Zhou Zhi was confused, stealthily touched the carriage, and when he stopped, he suddenly felt a strong dizziness and tinnitus, as if an elephant was running wildly in the skull, and his brain was almost shattered by low and strong sound waves.

After a few seconds, the terrible sound waves stopped, Zhou Zhen turned off the phantom system in the dark, and walked to the back of the canopy with the wooden plank, and in the woods where he couldn't see his fingers, the situation in the car was completely unclear, and he could only feel extremely slight sound waves, like an old man breathing hard.

Zhou Zhen was about to reach into the carriage when a hoarse old voice came, "Man, you, can you hear me?" ”

The sound seemed to come from the depths of his mind, there were no sound waves in his field of vision, and there was no sound in his ears, Zhou Zhen was startled, his outstretched right hand retracted like an electric shock, and his body immediately crouched down against the back of the car.

He was looking for the source of the voice in a daze, and the voice sounded again: "Oh awesome man, it's been ten years, and finally someone can hear me, you can talk to me too, I'm so lonely man." ”

Where did Zhou Zhen dare to reply, a few steps away were two bandits with bad intentions, I don't know if the owner of this voice is a gang, and he doesn't dare to rashly get rid of them.

The owner of the voice seemed to see the direction of Zhou Qian's eyes: "It's okay, I'll help you, but you have to plug your ears first." ”

Before Zhou Zhen could raise his hand, dizziness and tinnitus struck again, this time the feeling was even stronger, and the low sound waves spread from the carriage to all sides, and he quickly covered his ears tightly, but he still felt a splitting headache.

"Alright man, it's done."

The voice came again, Zhou Zhen rubbed his temples, the tinnitus subsided for a while, he looked in the direction of the firelight, the two bandits had fainted on the ground, the young one pressed on Lieutenant Colonel Dong's body, Lieutenant Colonel Dong snorted softly, and his breathing became rapid.

Didn't he turn into a vegetative state? Zhou Zhen rushed over to remove the bandits, and Lieutenant Colonel Dong did not react, but there was a painful look on his face.

"Dude, you don't really think I'm draining their souls, do you?"

The voice in his head asked in a playful tone.

Zhou Zhen picked up a burning stick and walked to the back of the carriage, under the light of the fire, he was shocked by the magnificence of the carriage, the four black horses were born like a child, they were all unusually tall and majestic, there was not a single stray hair on the whole body, the canopy was covered with thick animal skin, the trim and nails were made of pure gold, and the wheels and ruts were also covered with gold leaf.

Looking inside the canopy, in the middle of the thick spread of animal skins and silk quilts, there was a thin and shriveled old man who looked like a dried corpse.

"You were the one who just talked to me?"

Zhou Zhen shone the old man's face with a torch, it was no longer a human face, but a thousand furrows of skin covered by a skeleton, his lips were shriveled and shrunken, revealing his bare gums, his tongue was loosely drooping, his gray eyebrows were sparse and messy, but a pair of dark brown eyes were bright, as if they had not been eroded by time.

"Yes, man, it's me, don't be intimidated by the way I look, I'm a living person."

There was no movement in the old man's mouth and throat, but the sound somehow came into Zhou Zhen's brain.

"Can you hear me?"

Zhou Zhen moved the torch slightly, shining on both sides of the old man's head, and both ears were still intact.

"Of course, my hearing, smell, touch, sight and other senses are normal, but my body has lost its function."

The old man's reaction speed and speed of speech were very fast, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Why is your voice..."

Before Zhou Zhen finished asking, the old man had already rushed to nag: "Consciousness? Soul? Hallucination? I don't know, I still want to ask you, except for the villagers in my village, no one else can hear me, you don't look like people in our village at this age, you don't look like you, it's strange, are you Yuri's son? Yuri has been thinking about marrying an Asian daughter-in-law since he was young..."

The old man probably hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and when he did, he went on and on, and Zhou Zhi felt like a fly had burrowed into his brain through his nostrils, buzzing around his skull.

"Stop, stop, I'm definitely not from your village, I just want to ask, old man, can my guy still be saved?"

Zhou Zhen pointed to the outside of the canopy.

"How could you not be saved? I just went into shock with infrasound, and you really think I have what it takes to extract souls or something? I don't know how these mud-legged soldiers came up with it, but don't tell me, I've felt the out-of-body experience, the atomic bomb explosion forty years ago, and it was terrible..."

Infrasound? Zhou Zhen was just about to recall this word that he hadn't heard for many years, but the old man's chatter was so noisy that he couldn't think at all, so he had to shake the torch in front of the old man's eyes and interrupt him.

"Old man, it's important to save people, and I can't wake up that brother of mine first."

The old man's tone was a little apologetic: "I won't do this, anyway, he will wake up in about half a day, you can talk to me for a while." ”

It's good that he didn't die, Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and remembered what the old man had just said: "Forty years ago? You mean the explosion in Moscow? You can't really be a villager in Severnier, are you? ”

"Hey, who's to say it's not, we were in the cellar at the time of more than 30 people to pack up the food for the winter, and suddenly there was a nuclear explosion, that feeling, you don't believe it, anyway, the soul is out of the body, wandering for a while, I saw the gate of heaven, like a highway tunnel, but inexplicably sucked back, after I came back to life, I was half paralyzed."

The old man recalled the situation at that time in fragments, which reminded Zhou Zhen of the situation when his soul was transferred.

"I believe..."

He replied with a wry smile.

"Well, man, I can see at a glance that you are not simple, last night those two boys found out that someone was following, so they asked me to dispose of you, I used infrasound strong enough to make you go into shock immediately, but you ran all the way to the middle of the swamp before falling, amazing, who is your father? Is it called Yuri, Yuri or something, alas, I forgot what his last name is. ”

"My father's name is not Yuri, and I have nothing to do with your village, but why can you emit infrasound?"

Zhou Zhen gradually got used to looking for useful information in his nagging, infrasound is a kind of lethal sound wave, it is slower than ordinary sound vibration, vibration less than 20 times per second, so hearing can not perceive, human organs are very sensitive to infrasound, it is easy to absorb the vibration energy of infrasound, infrasound intensity will cause serious resonance damage to the human body, more than 100 years before the war, the government and enterprises have been developing infrasonic weapons, but there has been no substantial progress.

The old man's answer still didn't know, but his tone became proud: "What is it about emitting infrasound, there are many cattle in our village, Zolotov can see what others are thinking, Paine can change the magnetic field around him, Olga is the most powerful, her luck becomes excellent after her soul is out of her body, and the bullets go around the bend when they see her." ”

It seems that the legend of the Inhuman is actually true, and he suddenly remembered the corporate soldiers of A834, if they are also in a state of shock, then the gang companions may face sudden danger.

"You did the people in A834 too? What is the extent of their injuries? ”

"They can't wake up, if the infrasound is too strong, it will destroy their consciousness, and the guys of the corporate alliance have destroyed the village of Severnier, and I will not show mercy to their men."

The old man's words made Zhou Zhen feel a little relieved, he remembered the annoying sound waves that lingered in his eyes, and he didn't know if this was a side effect of experiencing nuclear radiation and out-of-body souls, so he turned the conversation and asked: "Old man, I won't tell you, I also had a similar experience with the people in your village, everything was normal before, but after I woke up just now, I can suddenly see sound waves, I can also see your infrasound waves, not to hear them, but to see the vibrations of the air in front of me, do you know what's going on?" ”

The old man didn't wait for him to finish, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Man, your abilities have awakened, and these strange abilities always take a while to appear, such as Paine, and Olga..."

He suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and the light in his eyes immediately dissipated, and his brown pupils contracted slightly.

"Alas, but I have to warn you first, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and when the ability awakens, disaster will also happen, such as if you look at me, poor old Zelinsky, if I can say a word, or stand up and take two steps, I would really prefer not this ability to shoot bullshit infrasound."
