Chapter 0019: The Corpse Crystal Found in the Brain
When the dust settled, the wind blew in the distance, washing away the strange smell that permeated the tree island.
The survivors surrounding the corpse of the zombie cow were all panting, they had just eaten the silver fruit, and their bodies were still very weak. When the wind blows, it not only takes away the strange smell, but also their hair, one by one they become bald, no eyebrows, no beard, and even nose hair is gone.
"We've become zombies, too." Wang Zhao touched his bare head, very annoyed.
"It'll still grow, as long as people are okay." Li Chenggang pulled out the steel bar inserted in the zombie cow's head and shook the brain on it, "Hurry up and clean up the tree island, the zombie is gone, we have to continue to survive here, and the silver fruit will also be collected." ”
The survivors began to work, but their bodies were so weak that they couldn't drag the corpses of the zombie cows.
Li Chenggang had to ask Xu Huai for help: "Xu Huai, you get the zombie cow out, it's too polluting the environment here." ”
"Yes." Xu Huai stopped absorbing the silver fruit, and was about to tie the zombie cow with a rope and drag it outside to throw it away, but suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Brother Li, you should need to eat, the meat of the zombie cow, I don't know if you can eat it?" These zombies are different from the zombies in the movie, so they shouldn't be contagious, right? ”
"Seems so...... I'm definitely not going to eat meat, though. Li Chenggang said uncertainly.
There have been survivors who have been scratched by zombies before, but they have not been infected as zombies, which can basically prove that these soulless bodies are very different from the zombies in the movie, and there is no "T virus" infection in the body. Of course, who can't guarantee that there really isn't.
Zombie beef is still risky.
Hu Kai, a young survivor, suddenly said: "You can't eat beef, maybe the zombie cow has a crystal nucleus in its brain, it's all written in the novel." ”
"Whimsical, I really take fiction seriously." There are older survivors, sneering.
However, Xu Huai's eyes lit up, he also read the novel, and immediately said: "Hu Kai, otherwise you will dissect a few zombie mice first and see if there are crystal nuclei." ”
"Don't mess around." Li Chenggang said.
But Hu Kai still took out a kitchen knife with great interest, chopped open the head of a zombie mouse that was crushed to death by Wuling Hongguang S, and kept rummaging through the mouse's brain with a small wooden stick.
There was a stir-up, and nothing hard was found.
"No, Brother Xu, it seems that the novel really can't be believed."
"The mouse is too small, you can drive a cat and a dog and see if there is a crystal nucleus."
Hu Kai was also idle and bored, so he decisively chopped off the head of a zombie cat, rummaged through it, and found nothing. Chop open the head of a zombie dog again, and there is nothing either: "Yes, no." ”
"It's also possible that these zombies are too low-level and haven't evolved crystal nuclei yet." Xu Huai also summed up very boringly, "Today, it seems that it is the first time that zombies have evolved, and the silver fruit contains the energy that allows them to evolve, maybe in a few days, crystal nuclei will grow in their brains." ”
"That makes sense, then Brother Xu, this zombie cow, can't be dissected?" Hu Kai asked.
Over there, Li Chenggang scolded: "Hu Kai, Xu Huai, can you two do something serious, what are you busy with now, you are still messing around over there." ”
Hu Kai didn't reply: "It's not nonsense, it's science...... Brother Xu, is it anatomical? ”
Xu Huai thought for a while and said: "Dissect, look at the situation, this zombie cow has been in a coma for a long time, and the characteristics of evolution are more obvious, I can see that the horns are red." Even if there is no crystal nucleus, you can remove the horns and we will keep them as a souvenir. This thing, I don't think it's usual. ”
In essence, Xu Huai is also young and loves to mess around.
When the next person and car started, they began to dissect the head of the zombie cow, and it took the boss a lot of effort to smash the cow's skull open. Hu Kai, who was out of breath, took a small wooden stick and began to rummage through his brains.
This flip.
He really turned out something unusual, there were six in total, like very small stones, because they were stained with brains, and they couldn't see clearly. Hu Kai quickly found a bucket of water and cleaned the six things, washing away the brains and bloodstains, revealing the essence, which turned out to be something like crystal.
Smaller than a fingernail cap, irregular, like crystal, and like broken glass.
"Ahh It's a crystal nucleus! Brother Xu! We've found the nucleus! This is the crystal nucleus of zombies! Hu Kai held six "crystal nuclei" and shouted, "Good thing, crystal nucleus, eat crystal nucleus, you can get superpowers!" It's all said in the novel, I'm rich! ”
"Calm down, what this thing is, we have to judge again." Xu Huai slapped Hu Kai with his mental power, made him sober up, and then pinched away a few "crystal nuclei": "I'll judge first, it's not attractive to me, maybe it's just broken glass, embedded in the cow's head." ”
"How could it be broken glass!"
Hu Kai's shout has attracted the other survivors, and they all gathered around to see the so-called "crystal nucleus".
"Ah, did you really find this from a cow's head?"
"Crystal clear, don't be a gem."
"How can such a thing as a crystal nucleus exist!"
"Why can't it exist, the cataclysm has happened, Brother Xu has become a car, and the zombies have found crystal nuclei in their brains, what is impossible."
"Yes...... I don't think it's a crystal nucleus anyway. ”
Li Chenggang played with a "crystal nucleus" and couldn't see anything famous, so he asked Xu Huai: "Xu Huai, can you absorb it, is this thing a crystal nucleus?" ”
Xu Huai waited for a minute before replying: "I don't know, I can't absorb it at all, and I don't have a little special energy." But strangely, I can't fuse it into an exterior vehicle, this thing is still a bit special, and it may really have something to do with the crystal nucleus. ”
Hu Kai said excitedly: "I'll just say it, this is the crystal nucleus!" ”
"How can there be six crystal nuclei, I think this thing is almost the same as a bezoar and a dog treasure, they are all grown by the cow itself, and it is very likely to be a stone." Yang Limin shook his head and said, he spoke more objectively.
No information was available.
Dissecting the remaining zombie cats and dogs, there are no more "crystal nuclei", these crystal nuclei are temporarily placed here by Xu Huai, so that Xu Huai can study them slowly.
"Since you found it from the zombie's brain, don't worry about whether it's a crystal nucleus or not, just name it again, call it Corpse Crystal."
"Corpse crystals? The Book of Poetry? What a bad name. ”
"I think it's appropriate."
"Forget it, just know what it means, let's hurry up and clean the tree island and clean all the stains." Li Chenggang continued to direct the survivors to work.
The corpses of various zombies were loaded onto a truck, and then Xu Huai dragged the truck and threw it into the distance. Then several large buckets of water were brought from the Dongpu Reservoir to wash the ground covered in blood and the ruined silver fruits.
In addition to the silver fruit that was robbed by zombies, there were about four or five hundred catties, all of which were transported to the bus and stocked.
There are still some on the tree, and I haven't picked them off yet.
Now that Tree Island is safe, you can pick it whenever you want.
After Xu Huai finished his work, he absorbed the silver fruit while studying the corpse crystal.
He called Han Lele and Zhou Zhuang, they have "superpowers", they have a strong sense of silver fruit, Xu Huai wants to see if they have any sense of corpse crystal.
He always felt that the corpse crystal was unusual, but he couldn't figure out where it was ordinary, and he couldn't even determine whether it was from the zombie cow's brain. After all, at that time, several steel bars ran through the brain, and who knows if it was something stuck to the steel bar.
The results of the test with small children were disappointing.
There is no induction.
Xu Huai could only give up: "It's better to absorb the silver fruit with all your might, this good thing, absorb one more, and become a little stronger!" ”
