Chapter 18: Science and Ignorance

After eating the overlord meal, Wang Qiang returned to the accommodation arranged by Guan Xiaoyun for himself, and after falling on the bed, he began to fall asleep.

It was night, in a barracks in the city, in a brick red house, a fire was burning in the fireplace of the bright living room.

This is a very atmospheric decoration of the big red house, which shows that the owner's taste is different, and there are some hideous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the red brick wall, which are very peculiar, and they are written in blood-red colors. Hanging on the desolate and rough red brick wall, against the backdrop of the fire, it has a strange and deep feeling.

In addition to these calligraphy and paintings, dozens of strange weapons and firearms of different lengths are hung on the walls, ranging from flintlock pistols from flintlock pistols from 300 years ago to smoothbore guns from 200 years ago to classic firearms from 100 years ago.

Obviously, it seems that the owner is a maniac who collects guns.

Finally, there were a few zombie heads hanging on the walls!

The severed zombie heads were fixed to the specimen rack and hung above the walls of the closet.

Although these zombies only have bare heads, not even necks, and their bodies have been cut off, there is no doubt that they are still "alive".

The zombies with only their heads left are still alive and well, and if it weren't for the destruction of their throat and vocal organs, they wouldn't be able to howl a few times in the middle of the night.

The zombie's head looks very majestic, much stronger than ordinary zombies, and the rotten skin and white bones are no longer visible on the face, but instead there are layers of dense cuticles.

This is an inherent trait of evolutionary zombies.

Upon closer inspection, each zombie head retains the original characteristics of the mutated zombie, with edges or corners, fierce and abnormal, and the fangs also poke out the mouthparts, tearing the cheeks, which is particularly terrifying.

Among these zombie heads, there is a rare mutant female zombie head, the face of the female zombie is very distinct, you can see a bit of the beauty of the past, but unfortunately the face has been covered with a disgusting corneum, which looks like a wriggling scar.

The hair draped on the head of the female zombie was carefully combed and formed into a gorgeous bun, and it can be seen that some people still have the leisure to comb the hair of the zombie, which is really bold and big.

Under normal circumstances, zombie heads that have lost their bodies will be in a deep dormant period, and rarely show interest in the things around them, but at this moment, the zombie heads that originally remained dormant opened their eyes, revealing their deep green eyes, and opened their bloody mouths, biting in vain in the air.

There is only one possibility that this will happen, and that is if a living person is close to the zombie's head.

"General Cao, I didn't expect you to be an elegant person, your interests and hobbies are really extensive, I will watch your masterpiece first, and then see your collection, I really sincerely admire. Especially these zombie heads, they are all mutated and evolved zombies, if the body is still there, I am afraid that it will be able to create a killing immediately. A man in a gray cloth military uniform with a cocktail glass in his hand looked at the zombie head on the closet and said in admiration.

Behind the man, a middle-aged man with a big belly sat on a wide soft sofa, his body sinking into the sofa. The middle-aged man also wore a gray military uniform, but a shining gold star on the epaulette glittered in the light of the firewood.

Obviously, this middle-aged man is a major general!

When General Cao heard this, he smiled indifferently and said: "Xiao Li, these zombies are all mutated zombies that I personally killed on the battlefield back then, and I specially took off their heads to make specimens, which I have treasured to this day." It's strange to say that these heads are still moving after three or five years, and I'm curious when they will go to hell completely. ”

The major officer named Xiao Li smiled and said, "General Cao, when zombies can't eat, they will reduce their activity time and enter a semi-dormant state, in this state, zombies can survive for more than five years, but the more advanced the evolution, the longer the zombies will survive." Of course, according to the research findings of the previous two years, in fact, zombies will use microorganisms in the air as food to replenish energy when they cannot eat. ”

Bang bang bang.

General Cao applauded, and said with a smile to a foreign old man sitting beside him: "Mr. Brian, you see, Xiao Li is worthy of being a top student in our army's general staff, and his research on zombies is very profound, can he still enter your eyes?" ”

Sitting opposite General Cao was a tall and thin old man, with a blue-eyed and hawkish nose on an old face, and a rather fierce expression. Mr. Brian was wearing a well-trimmed autumn suit, sitting on the sofa, staring at the cocktail in the wine glass in front of him to think about the problem, hearing General Cao's question, the old man raised his head, and with deep blue eyes glanced at the young staff officer standing next to the closet who was quite a bit of a showman, Brian said bluntly in an awkward Chinese tone: "According to our research, zombies in a vacuum can still survive for a long time without any microbial supplementation." There are two factors for survival, first, zombies will dissolve their own unimportant organs, muscles, fibrous tissues and non-essential nerves through the adjustment of their own structure, and then use this as an energy supplement to continue to live! When the unimportant organs are consumed, they will choose to consume the secondary important body organs and muscle tissues, then the most important organs and tissues, and in the end, if it is long enough, they will return to the original state of the X virus, of course, this process may be thousands of years, in other words, they will only get hungrier and thinner, the more hungry and weaker they are, but it is difficult to starve to death. ”

Staff Officer Xiao Li turned around in shock, looked at Brian who was sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression as if chatting, Xiao Li asked solemnly: "Mr. Brian, I don't know where your information came from, do you have a basis and an experimental example?" “

Instead of answering the young staff officer directly, Brian continued: "There is a second way for zombies to survive, and if conditions permit, zombies will generate a mutant mold on their bodies, which can undergo a reaction similar to photosynthesis, ingesting most forms of energy from sunlight, water, and air, and then converting it into the energy that the body needs. So, General Cao, I'm afraid these zombie heads of your family can't die. ”

General Cao was stunned: "So that's the case, I wonder, these monsters are really strong in survivability, hey, if we humans can be so strong." ”

Brian smiled: "If humans can live like zombies, then we are not human." ”

General Cao laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Li, who was standing on the side in astonishment, and said to Brian: "Come on, Mr. Brian, let me introduce you to you, this is Major Li Chang, the deputy director of the Intelligence Analysis Division of the General Staff Headquarters of our 12th Military Region. Xiao Li is young and promising, and he is deeply valued by our boss Sun, and he is also my little brother, Mr. Brian has the opportunity to get closer to him. ”

When Brian heard this, he thought about Li Chang and threw a kind smile.

But Li Chang didn't seem to care, but looked at Brian directly, and asked seriously: "Mr. Brian, where did your research materials on zombies come from?" ”

Brian smiled and replied, "Our research on zombies doesn't stop there, if you're interested, you can join us in the future, most of our information is shared." ”

Li Chang's eyes were stunned: "How can you have such a deep research on zombies?" It is more profound than the research of the Dragon City Research Institute, which is not scientific. ”

Brian laughed, showing the unique heartiness of the Germans: "This has nothing to do with science, it's just that your cognition is still very ignorant, the world is very big, you haven't seen many things, once you are lucky enough to meet it, you will definitely feel how ignorant you were at first." ”

When Li Chang heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How can I join you?" I want to get more knowledge, you have to tell me! ”

Before Brian could speak, General Cao, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said, "Hey, Mr. Brian, you can really deceive people, Xiao Li was almost caught by you when they first met, it's really terrible." In other words, your skills, not doing MLM is really a waste of talent. ”
