Chapter Twenty-Nine: Escape from the Secret Room
"So, did we really meet these transparent creatures?" Wang Xiaoming was shocked after listening to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"But how do you explain these strange situations we're experiencing?" Yi San felt that the matter was clear, but he felt even more terrifying.
"Evolution is perfect, the extent of the atmosphere is so large, the density of these transparent creatures must be pitifully small. Moreover, there are very few food sources in the atmosphere, and they cannot use speed and strength to hunt prey, so they have evolved a perfect hunting system, mainly appearing in prey within a certain range, it may use pheromones or brainwaves to interfere with prey, so that the prey automatically hooks the bait, effortlessly. James speculated.
"How dare you be so sure?" Wang Xiaoming felt very.
"You human beings, who are always skeptical and wait-and-see about new things, how can you make progress?" James began to go online, "I used to say that the composition of DNA is carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus, until the 2010 NASA press conference, at which NASA published the results of American scientist Felisa Wolfe-Simon, who got a strain called GFAJ-1 in Lake Mono in California. Unlike all known organisms on Earth, GFAJ-1 can not only tolerate high concentrations of arsenic in the water of Lake Mono, but can also use arsenic instead of phosphorus as DNA to build itself, which is the "arsenic-based organism" that was later hyped by major media. This discovery broke through the existing knowledge of biology, made people almost redefine the concept of life, and aroused the question of whether there is life beyond the earth. For a while, a bunch of scientists, writers, and thinkers talked about extraterrestrial creatures, as if GFAJ-1 was not discovered on Earth, but a visitor from Mars. But who of them would have thought that in less than 200 years, there would really be a 'Martian visitor' who was going to invade the earth. This kind of evolution can be found all over the world, from the Rafflesia in Sumatra, Indonesia, to the man-eating flower in the Amazon Basin, and even the most common pitcher plant, which has evolved digestive glands and nectar glands to attract prey. These are all miracles of nature. It is also very possible that these transparent creatures, with such a small population density and unable to hunt by speed and strength, have evolved unique neural hunting methods. ”
"So what do you think we're going to do next?" Wang Xiaoming asked the point.
"This, this. I don't really know much about the neurological field, it's a field that's just starting to develop, and you'll have to ask Eve about it. She knows more than I do. "James is also helpless.
"Wait, you're saying that these transparent creatures are also creatures, but their special living environment has created their special way of hunting?" Kyle gradually cleared his mind.
"Isn't that nonsense? It's definitely a creature. James was speechless.
"So, do they have DNA on them?" Kyle is overjoyed.
"You mean?" James thought of it too.
"Chromosome toner!" James, Kyle, Wang Xiaoming, and Yi San said in unison.
Eve, though a little sluggish, reacted immediately. I just pulled out the chromosome toner from my backpack.
"It's up to yours next." Wang Xiaoming patted James on the shoulder.
James understood, and immediately took out gunpowder powder from his backpack to mix smoke bombs.
"Eve, give me the toner. This thing needs to be spared, maybe I'll come across it later. James reminded Eve not to do too much.
In a few moments, a non-lethal smoke grenade was adjusted.
James lights the fuse and runs to Kyle, who turns on his UV searchlights and wears glasses that can watch living cells being powdered. Nervously watching the slowly diffusing smoke.
After about five minutes, everyone saw a beautiful picture of Eve. In their eyes, the room became a beautiful starry sky. There were star-like blue points of light everywhere, and among them, there were three blue balls of light as dazzling as the sun, in the middle of the room, shrinking and shrinking, sinking and floating, as if breathing.
"It's a beautiful picture. The presence of these three transparent organisms allows some other bacteria to survive on their body fluids. They're forming an ecosystem of their own! James said, pointing to the dotted bacterial colonies surrounding the transparent creatures.
"These transparent creatures are like black holes and white holes in the middle of galaxies, and these bacterial groups are like nebulae around it, and each bacteria is like galaxies, and this is simply a universe." Yi San also praised.
"It seems that only destruction can bring new life." Wang Xiaoming said as he picked up the gun and pointed it at one of the transparent creatures.
"Wait." Yi San shouted anxiously.
"If these creatures are capable of influencing our nerves and interfering with our judgment, how can we determine if what we are looking at now is what they are showing us?" Yi San hesitated.
"No, how could they have thought of such a thing as chromosome toner? That's too mysterious, isn't it? Even James, who loves to be skeptical and critical, doesn't believe it.
"Maybe they can interfere with our sense of space, space and distance, and they don't turn off the toner at all, and if we can see him, we see it where they are not where they are, just like the things in the water are refracted and they give us some optical illusions, which affects the balance of our sense of space, so the door we see is locked and can't be opened." Yi San speculated.
"It's very likely, Eve, what's the most painful part of the human body? When did it hurt the most? Kyle asked Eve.
"When a woman gives birth." Eve replied honestly.
"I mean, can you make us feel a lot of pain without hurting our bodies?" Kyle asked.
"Of course I understand this, this is my specialty." Eve's smile was a little grim, at least that way for Kyle and Wang Xiaoming.
"I also understand this, in our theory of traditional Chinese medicine, on the acupuncture points, there are a hundred ways to make you feel pain, such as the Ten Xuan Acupoints, the Twelve Jing Acupoints, Hegu, Taichong These acupoints you can try." When Yi San followed his grandfather to learn the I Ching, he also learned some Chinese medicine theories.
"Forget it, Eve still listens to you." Kyle felt a little scared when he thought of the acupuncture points in Chinese medicine. It seems that I have seen it before.
"The spine is one of the places where nerve endings are most concentrated, and there is definitely pain there." Eve said with a smile.
"Then prick them now, get rid of the hallucinations when it hurts the most, find their original location, and kill them!" Kyle said to Eve.
Eve didn't say a word, and held two syringes to Kyle and Wang Xiaoming's necks.
"Ahh Wang Xiaoming and Kyle let out a painful cry, and in an instant, the transparent creature in their sight disappeared.
Immediately, Kyle discovers that they are hanging less than fifty centimeters above his head.
Without saying a word, Wang Xiaoming took a gun and aimed at the three spherical transparent creatures and fired them.
After the gunshot, the three sun-like transparent creatures in Yi San's field of vision disappeared immediately, and he watched the three transparent creatures above his head slowly fall.
James reached out to catch one of them, and found that the weight was really light, cold to the touch, and soft to the touch, "If it's really a transparent creature made of aerogel, nature is really wonderful." ”
Immediately, Yi San saw that the door of the door had been opened, and it was blown up by James's bomb, and a corridor airflow poured in, and they relaxed and felt very comfortable.
The crowd let out a long breath.
"Eve, you're not afraid to stun us." Kyle said to Eve as he touched his neck.
"An unsuspecting attack is the most painful." Eve smiled, then lowered her head to collect the corpse of the transparent creature.
"It's true, Eve is like her." Kyle couldn't help but think of fighting alongside her eight years ago.
"I'm afraid this corpse won't be preserved for a long time." James watched as the aerogel creature in his hand slowly decomposed, and finally, the blue light slowly faded from the inside until it disappeared.
"Even the chromosomes are broken down." James said as he watched the blue light disappear.
"But the decomposition fluid may have some neurologically useful substances." Eve expertly collects the corpse specimens of the two remaining transparent creatures.
Kyle walked out of the doorway, looked at the empty hallway, and said to everyone, "Cuihua said just now that the hallway is full of genetic monsters, and now the hallway is empty. It looks like something must have happened to this base in five years. ”
Wang Xiaoming looked at the corpse of Cuihua lying on the ground sadly, and walked out of the door as a relief. James and Yi San looked through the corpses, filed the identities of these warriors and saw if there was any usable equipment left.
"What's next?" Five people stood in the hallway, facing the empty hallway.
"Either survive. Or destruction. "Yi San felt that this place had something to do with him, and the pure sixth sense felt that this place had something to do with him and his grandfather. The feeling is intense.
"Let's go, let's move on. The Martian settlers have already discovered it. We can't catch up when we go back for help. So we have to strike first to be one step ahead of them. James was the first to walk downstairs to the base.
After experiencing this time, everyone felt that the road ahead must be very dangerous, but at this time they were not so afraid. They followed Kyle on their way with a determined step.
After they left, there was still this chromosome colorant in the air in the room just now, and if you turned on the ultraviolet searchlight, you could see that in the regular and strange space above that could avoid the white smoke, two spherical transparent creatures glowing with blue light floated out, floating quietly in the air, shrinking and shrinking, as if breathing.
Kyle and the others ignored this piano-like space, and after the spherical creature died, those strange spaces still stayed above the ceiling, but no one found it.
