Chapter 2: Icy Nitrogen and Deformation of Polyethylene
"Do you really think I won't kill you, Xiao Chen!" I roared, rushed forward, grabbed Xiao Chen's collar, and lifted him from the ground and over my head.
"Yes, you won't. I'm pretty sure. In the face of my angry scream, Xiao Chen's face was still very calm, "Whether you want to save your relatives or save people all over the world, if you kill me, you can't achieve it." So, you're definitely not going to kill me. ”
I stared at Xiao Chen to death, looking at his sharpened chin, looking at his gloomy look, as well as his thick dark circles and those unusually calm eyes, every point on Xiao Chen's body made me hateful, every word he said could arouse my killing intent, but what Xiao Chen said was too true...... Yes, I can't kill him at all, if I kill him, then, my father, Jiang Xueqing, Tong Xinyi, Teacher Cao, and even Han Shaofeng and Brother Tong will all die, although the latter two are not even friends to me, but, if they are put to death like this, I know that I will definitely not go, and my heart will be tormented by my conscience.
Xiao Chen, he is too terrifying, he has completely calculated me, although I am infinitely powerful, although there are countless tricks, but I can't escape his calculations, I can't escape from the palm of his hand...... He had completely seen through my personality and me, but I couldn't resist.
"Ahhh Xiao - Morning !! ”
I howled in pain and threw Xiao Chen hard against the wall, Xiao Chen's back hit the wall, he made a painful ** sound, his thin body slipped weakly from the wall, and he covered his shoulders on the ground for a long time before he got up, and then began to cough violently, and a trace of blood oozed from the nostrils and the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, the catharsis is also done, and then we can talk about cooperation, Chen Dongqing?" Xiao Chen wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and looked at me with his gloomy and hateful eyes.
"Cooperation? Are you dreaming? Who's going to work with a madman like you? I sneered, and then pressed Xiao Chen hard against the wall, with my current strength, Xiao Chen had no chance to resist in front of me at all, Xiao Chen also knew that he couldn't resist me, so he simply watched my every move quietly, no longer spoke, I quickly found a rope, tied Xiao Chen up and put it in the corner of the laboratory.
"Tell me, my dad they...... Where is it? I looked condescendingly at Xiao Chen, who was bound by me, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Otherwise, I'll break one of your fingers!" Don't think I can't do it! ”
Xiao Chen looked at me quietly, but the corners of his mouth curled up with a gloomy smile:
"Tell you, can you save it?"
"What do you mean?!" I asked in a rough voice.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged and sneered:
"Let me tell you, just last night, Jiang Xueqing, your father, Cao Hongli, Tong Xinyi, as well as Han Shaofeng and the character you called Brother Tong, were all sent by me to Australia, Brazil, the United States, India and South Africa Six different countries, if you want to save them, then find five clones, and then each grow wings and fly across the three oceans."
"What!!" I angrily grabbed Xiao Chen's collar and picked him up, "You take my dad ...... Others were sent abroad? Lie to me less! How do you do it? How did you get past the identity check? ”
"You know what? It's all too easy to take control of airline people with zombie viruses. Xiao Chen licked his tongue and said, "What do you think I created two hundred zombies to surround the government before?" It's just to infiltrate the zombie virus into the government and police stations......"
I roared again and threw Xiao Chen to the ground, I punched Xiao Chen in the face, half of Xiao Chen's face was swollen by me, if I hadn't stopped my strength in time at the last moment, I even almost burst Xiao Chen's head on the spot. I can't control my current strength myself.
"Let my dad go, now! Do you hear that? I said viciously.
"Then you will obey my orders." Xiao Chen looked at me quietly and said.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Hehe, that's stubborn. Well, I'll have a showdown with you. Xiao Chen said flatly. Chen Dongqing, the progress bar displayed in the book "Zombie World" is indeed related to the number of people who have become zombies, and if you want to make the progress bar in the book 100%, you need to turn at least one billion people into zombies, but have you ever thought about what if I turn one billion people into zombies first, and then lift them after completing the strategy? ”
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, I was stunned for a moment, and thought of a certain possibility:
"You mean that as long as you turn everyone into zombies and then dismantle them, you can still complete the mission?"
Xiao Chen looked at me with a calm smile and said:
"That's what it means."
I squinted, looked at Xiao Chen coldly and said:
"I won't believe your words, I might as well trust a dog if I believe someone like you. You must want me to work with you to turn everyone into zombies, and then tell me I can't turn them back, right? Even if you can turn back and turn others into zombies, you can manipulate others at will, and you will stop this kind of good thing? What's more, what if you turn people into zombies first, and then turn back again, and can't complete the strategy? ”
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This is a bet, either you will be destroyed with the world, or, believe me." Which do you choose? Chen Dongqing, I can only tell you that if the earth is destroyed, it will definitely not be destroyed in my hands, but in your hands. No matter how unscrupulous I am, I will continue the civilization of the earth, but you can't do it. ”
Xiao Chen's words made me disheartened, I clenched my fists so loudly that I wanted to make a hole in this man's face, but I couldn't. Although I am not very smart, I know that this man is smarter than me, I am the captain of this team, but I can't even protect my teammates, and I really can't attack the world, and I can't save the world......
I gritted my teeth, the muscles in my jaw were so developed that I almost crushed them.
"Three days...... I almost squeezed my voice out between my teeth, "I only work with you for three days, and during these three days, I will keep an eye on you, and if your plan violates my bottom line, I will immediately break with you, and, no matter what, I will stop you." ”
Hearing my words, Xiao Chen finally smiled more naturally:
"Ten thousand virgins are no match for a clever executioner. Only those who dare to shed blood can stop shedding blood. Sows who only know to avoid danger will be slaughtered sooner or later. ”
"Don't think I'm going to let you go." I glared at Xiao Chen deadly, dragging this dangerous person like a cow and pulling him out of the laboratory.
When I walked out of the lab and out of the hallway out of the dilapidated apartment where Xiao Chen was hiding, I was shocked because I saw that it had become a mess outside.
Outside the apartment was an abandoned factory vacant lot, and in the clearing, a large number of people with pale skin, expressionless faces, and empty eyes were wandering around, no need to look, I also knew that these people were people who were controlled by Xiao Chen and turned into zombies, at a cursory glance, there were at least a hundred.
And the most terrifying of the zombies, I was terrified, I saw a white giant about twenty meters long lying in the corner of the square, the giant was swollen, the body was naked, there was no hair, the eyes were like two deep wells, from the appearance it was difficult for me to see whether this giant was male or female, because he did not have some symbolic organs of men and women, he was snow-white, like a magnified puppet doll.
Could it be that this giant is also a zombie? The sight of this giant made me feel like my breath had stopped, but there was much more to me than that.
In addition to this huge zombie of nearly twenty meters, there were three zombies next to me, which were quite small, but also five or six meters tall, they were sitting on the ground sluggishly and awkwardly, with expressionless faces, and their ugly faces that had been wide and fat and had been deformed were facing me, and I was horrified to see them.
In addition to these giant zombies, I also saw a few strange creatures that I don't know if they were zombies, there were more than a dozen of them, some of them were wolf dogs with wings, their hair was densely erected like hedgehogs, and some were extremely large bats, with sharp teeth extending out of their mouths, almost hanging down to the ground, and their size could be compared to that of children. Some of them are not like them, with the trunk of an elephant, the neck of a giraffe, and the body of a centipede and the hooked tail of a scorpion......
In addition, there are also some humanoid zombies, numbering seven, who are being tied up in the corners of the square, strangely enough, their backs either have moth-like broken wings, or long tentacles like octopus tentacles extending from their backs, or centipede-like tails, these half-human, half-beast forms of humans are obviously not completely controlled, because they still have the fear that ordinary people have on their faces.
The last remaining people are slightly white-skinned humans wandering in the square, some of them have hollow eyes, some are sane, and they look similar to ordinary humans, but the strange thing is that the muscles on the surface of their bodies will actually squirm and deform, I can clearly see that the arms of several people have wriggled a few times and become soft bodies like noses, and even eyes have grown on their palms or arms, and some people's heads can wriggle, twist, and even crack in the middle like plasticine......
"Xiao Chen, these ...... It's all zombies you made?! I looked at Xiao Chen on the side angrily and asked.
Xiao Chen looked at me calmly and said:
"That's right, they're all my experiments. At present, it seems that there are five types of zombies. They are giant-type zombies, ghoul-type zombies, parasitic zombies, alien zombies, and sub-human zombies. The type of zombie depends mainly on the intelligence of the infected person before being infected by the zombie virus. Wild animals with the lowest intelligence are infected with Zomorphic zombies, which retain animal instincts and are the most aggressive, but the easiest to manipulate. Intelligence is followed by parasitic beast-type zombies, the reason for these zombies is that the self-consciousness of the people infected by the zombie virus is weak, the completeness of the nervous system is low, and it is easy to be completely controlled by the zombie virus. This is a rare occurrence where both the arm and brain are intelligent and have personality. Again, subhuman zombies, these zombies look exactly the same as ordinary people, and have no special abilities or special organs, and the reason for their creation is that the inside of the brain is eroded by zombie viruses, but the number of zombie viruses is too small to produce other organs or deform the mind. Subhuman zombies have slightly higher intelligence than parasitic zombies, and are closest to ordinary humans, and generally there is basically no difference between subhuman zombies and ordinary humans.
"Ghoul zombies have the highest intelligence, because they are originally humans with high intelligence and retain a strong sense of self, they are due to their higher intelligence, the product of the zombie virus after the failure to seize the human brain, because of their high intelligence and complete nervous system, the zombie virus not only failed to seize their subjective consciousness, but was dominated by their original consciousness, they are even like you, they can also control the zombie virus in the body by their own will, and change some biological functional organs with their own uses, Some of these organs can be used for offense, some for defense, and even for flight, and their material is similar to ultra-high molecular polyethylene. However, in order to maintain self-consciousness and human form, ghoul-type zombies must eat human flesh and obtain the genetic map of human genes in order to maintain their own human structure and self-awareness, otherwise, they will continue to be degraded to subhuman zombies or even parasitic zombies.
"The last giant zombie is a special case, as it is the result of the zombie virus taking possession of the infected person and not stopping its reproduction in time, but continuing to overmultiply, resulting in the condensation of a huge leather case in thick human form that envelops the infected outside. The intelligence of the Giant Zombie is random, high or low, depending on the willpower and intelligence of the infected. ”
Xiao Chen explained the human beings in front of me who had been transformed beyond recognition by him in a tone like a guinea pig doing an experiment, and every word was like an iron nail in my heart.
"You did all these people like this?" My voice trembled, "What do you think of human life?" Tools? Experiment!? They're living people! Also, what did you just say, ghoul-type zombies still eat people? Parasitic zombie brains devoured by zombie viruses? They've all become like this, can they get back to the way they were? You lied to me when you said that you could remove the zombie virus, right? ”
"If I can't get back to the original state, do I need to tell you about the cannibalistic nature of ghoul zombies and parasitic zombies, so that you don't trust me?" Xiao Chen glanced at me lightly and said lightly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, I was slightly stunned, but soon I became vigilant again, and I said to Xiao Chen calmly:
"So, do it for me now, and turn all these zombies here back to their original state, then I will believe what you say can remove the zombie virus."
Xiao Chen glanced at me sideways, his gaze was indifferent, but he didn't make a sound.
I immediately sneered and said:
"Sure enough, what you just said was lying to me, right? You said that you memorized all of my grandfather's "Walking Footnotes" and knew the methods recorded by my grandfather to remove the zombie virus, so you can show me? Hehe. ”
"Yes." Xiao Chen said calmly, "You only need to remove three." Saying that, Xiao Chen slowly stepped forward and walked in front of a parasitic zombie, according to Xiao Chen's previous statement, the parasitic zombie is a zombie whose brain is infected by a zombie virus and robs of its subjective consciousness, my idea is that since he has no self-consciousness, he can't be considered a person at all, and it should be completely impossible to recover, but when Xiao Chen walked in front of the parasitic zombie, the zombie's twisted and irregular deformed body actually began to gradually return to its human form, this originally blinded zombie, The originally fair skin gradually regained a healthy and shiny yellow, and the dull and empty eyes became brighter.
"I ...... Where am I? Wow ......ahhh Monster! Monster! In less than twenty seconds, the short-haired man in a white T-shirt and blue jeans seemed to have turned back into an ordinary person, he regained consciousness, and after seeing the zombies surrounding him, he suddenly fell to the ground in fright, and was so frightened that he was urinating, and I felt a strong smell of urine wafting into my nose, obviously, this man was so scared that he peed his pants, it didn't look like he was acting.
Xiao Chen looked at me calmly and said: "The essence of the zombie virus is a mathematical lifeform, that is, a data body, and according to information cosmology, the essence of the universe is also a kind of information, and the so-called elements such as hydrogen, helium, carbon, and oxygen are just basic information units that humans label with different spins and charges. Zombie viruses can quickly build any small organic molecule from the smallest unit of space, and then combine it into a very large molecule, gene, protein, DNA and other life structures, so that any form of chromosome can be reconstructed from the structure, and then step by step from cells to tissues, to functional organs redesign, any destroyed human structure can be copied and reproduced, including the human brain. Although the human brain is extremely complex, it is ultimately nothing more than an aggregate of organic molecules arranged in a certain structure. Even if the brain is eaten by a zombie virus, as long as the zombie virus completely reconstructs a brain with a 100% similarity at the microscopic level according to the brain knot before it was eaten, it can have exactly the same memory, personality and behavior patterns, in a sense, it can make that person reborn. ”
Xiao Chen said the truth, but I heard it in a fog, but I only roughly knew that even if the zombie virus could destroy the human brain, it could also be rebuilt and resurrect the person whose brain was destroyed, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.
"But a completely redesigned brain...... Even if the memory and personality are exactly the same, is it still the original brain, the original soul? ”
Xiao Chen glanced at me with disdain and said:
"The cell renewal cycle of human skin is about 28 days, the renewal of bone cells is about 7 to 10 years, the renewal of lymphocytes is about 3 days, the renewal of liver cells is about 1 year, the renewal of immune cells is about 90 days, the renewal of red blood cells can be completed every 4 months, and the lifespan of small intestinal villous cells is only 2 to 3 days. The lifespan of lung cells is two to three weeks. Taste bud cells are renewed every ten days. The lifespan of male sperm cells is only about three days, and most of the composition of a person's body will be updated and replaced every seven years, and the essence of memory storage is the structural changes of the medial temporal lobe composed of the dentate gyrus, ** body, parahippocampal gyrus, amygdala, etc., the memory forgetting speed of the human brain is one bit per second, even if it is you now, it is almost not the same person as you ten years ago, but you still maintain self-awareness, maintain coherent memory, and the similarity of the brain structure that the zombie virus can recover is infinitely close to 100%. , the difference is lower than the rate of change between you one second and you the previous second due to the body's normal cell turnover. ”
After all, Xiao Chen is still engaged in biology and chemistry research, I don't know if what he said is true, at least it sounds like that, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help laughing, and said to Xiao Chen:
"In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me, I wouldn't have been so disgusted with you. ”
Xiao Chen said calmly:
"The number of times the zombie virus can be lifted is limited, and once an infected person is released from the zombie virus infection and the body returns to its original state, it will develop immunity. This immunity is different from the immunity caused by the antibodies produced by the human body against the virus, which is due to the fact that the human cell composition of the infected person who has restored the normal structure has been replaced by the organ composed of the data body, and its composition may have the identification code that only the data body has, while the zombie virus will not kill each other and devour the same kind, so it cannot carry out a second or third infection. So, if you disarm a zombie, it means that there will be one less person to infect in the future. And it is uneconomical to release the infected person before he has to drain the last drop of his value. ”
Subsequently, in order to prove the correctness of his words, Xiao Chen dismissed two infected people in a row, one of them was a subhuman zombie, and the other was a ghoul-type zombie.
Looking at these zombies who seemed to have recovered to their original state, my mood finally stabilized a little, although it was not that I completely forgave Xiao Chen, but at least the hatred for him was no longer so deep.
So, what's next for you? Let's get it straight. I said bluntly.
Xiao Chen rubbed the part of his cheekbone that I had beaten before, and said:
"The plan is simple. Due to the spread of the zombie virus, health departments and militaries of various governments will soon begin to adopt corresponding response strategies. I can tell you about two weaknesses of the zombie virus: first, the zombie virus cannot be transmitted through isolation suits or walls, its transmission mode is physical contact or air movement, the former spreads faster than the latter, and the infection rate is very fast, which is equivalent to filling a bucket with a firefighter's spray gun, it does not take more than ten seconds to completely infect a person, and the incubation period is also very long, if I want, at least for a month to keep the zombie virus from attacking. Second, I have not found a chemical weapon that can deal with the zombie virus for the time being, ultrasonic, high-voltage current, I don't know, but the high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees and the low temperature of more than minus 240 degrees, such as watering with liquid nitrogen, can kill the zombie virus, or at least make the zombie virus inactive. I believe that people in various governments will soon discover these weaknesses of the zombie virus, and investigate the source of infection through the infection sequence of the zombie virus, so that quarantine measures will be taken, and international flights will be forced to suspend or be forced to check. After a successful plan for artificial rainfall, the military will certainly step up its preparedness and try to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. I expect that in the next week, several large provinces in Jiangnan will be turned into quarantine zones.
And if this continues, the plan to infect a billion people in a month will be greatly hindered, so I plan to ......"
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued:
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, I plan to use my zombie army to surround the city governments and major military regions of various countries, and fight with the strength of the government, police and army on the frontal battlefield, while you rely on your mutated physical ability, responsible for taking the opportunity to infiltrate the military and power institutions, find the top level of the country, and let all the top leaders be infected with the zombie virus, so that we can seize state power. As long as the state power is seized, it will be easy to achieve the ultimate goal. ”
