Section 72 Frozen Corpses

Mutation is not an uncommon thing. , М\\ Compared with ancient times, many creatures that have survived to the present have undergone a series of mutations. In order to adapt to the absence of sun, plants are forced to abandon a large number of leaves and simply weigh the stem body to complete their own process. The roots are also more hypertrophied, which is the only way to fill in the lack of nutrient absorption. After all, at this time, photosynthesis can no longer be carried out. So, all of these are variations. It is the variation that occurs in the evolution of organisms in order to adapt.

So, is the two-headed monster baby also a mutant evolved by humanoids in order to adapt? Tianxiang didn't know anything about it. He's still observing, and it's going to take time to figure it out.

The baby's new head has basically grown. As Su Ya described, the pre-existing skull had completely shrunk into a constricted black mass. Its volume is only half of its original size. The function of ingesting food has been completely replaced by the newborn mouth. The channels of breathing are also completely changed. It can be seen that the new head has completely replaced the hideous beast head. And, what a new head!

The distribution of facial features is very suitable on his face. The faded hair does not regrow on the surface of the smooth skin. The teeth still looked a little sharp, but under the cover of lips that were large enough to envelop them, there was no sign of it for a while. It's just that, compared to ordinary human babies, this strange creature has a smaller head and a more cunning light in its eyes. And its mouth, which is far more open than humans can bear. But no matter what, Tianxiang had to admit that until its current position, this two-headed monster baby hair was indeed very human-like, especially its hands and feet, and the sharp claws on its front end had completely fallen off. In their place, there are a pair of hands and feet that look rather rough, but are no different from humans. And not the claws that the kind of people have, which can easily tear limbs.

The bristles on the surface of the body also vary greatly, and they fall out a total of two times during this period. The newborn body hair is shorter and softer each time. Until now, it looked like a strange thin fluff, and there was no trace of the hard prickly hand that had been seen earlier. Such a creature would only be recognized as a human being if it was dressed and walking among the crowd. No one doubts its identity.

Every time he saw a little more changes in the humanoids, Tianxiang's mood would be more nervous. The look on his face became even more grim. The only thing he could do now was to repeatedly tell everyone who was guarding the prison to be extra careful, and never let the little ones out of the way. And because it looks like a human being, it should not give rise to pity. Tianxiang also tried to release his thoughts and touch it. But it didn't work, like those humanoids who were abused and died by themselves, for their own inquiry. It still shows all kinds of resistance. Moreover, in its mind, Tianxiang could not search for any related emotional fluctuations. Probably, because it's so small. Don't know this yet, do you? But no matter what, Tianxiang has decided. Resolutely not let go of this humanoid monster baby. He's going to keep it like an ancient dog. He wanted to see if the ferocious humanoids would one day understand what he was saying. Since you want to be a human being so much, then you must understand the rules of human beings. Before you can be a human, you must first learn to be a dog, to be an obedient dog.

After the rules were set, the humanoid was moved to a larger, stronger cage and imprisoned. The chains that fastened its hands and feet were replaced with thicker, heavier shackles. There are a lot of these things in the corners of the cells. It is really the most suitable for the growing young humans. The smell outside the cemetery has gradually begun to waft. Hunters endure the smoky smell. One by one, they were turned over and buried under the soil. The area around the base has been restored to its original appearance. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that acting completely instinctively and cleanly would bring great benefits to themselves.

Plants, a large number of plants. Began to poke his head out of the ground where the body was buried. They grew quickly, but within a few days, they were already spreading among the rancid mounds. Vines, anesthetic grasses, small shrubs...... Moistened by the fat insect corpses, the plants here are obviously growing much faster than elsewhere. Even the tubers planted nearby show that they are growing much more vigorously than usual. However, compared to those man-eating plants that have been turned to pieces by maggots, they are nothing in comparison.

Before the maggots attacked, the seeds of the man-eating vines had sprouted. The agitation and crushing of maggots made them crushed, but no one expected that the vitality of these plants would be so strong. Relying on the offerings of flesh buried in the ground, they actually sprouted new shoots again. And it quickly grew like crazy. The location where Tianxiang sowed the seeds was mainly near the plains at the foot of the base mountain. There is nothing to defend there. Without these large swarms of vines, anyone could easily find the rubble pile at the foot of the mountain where the gate was located. However, the wild vines not only hide the location of the rock piles from view, but are also an absolutely deadly threat to those with undeserved curiosity.

They can save more bullets for defenders in a possible battle. They also seem to be very willing to take on such a task. After all, this means being able to get more fresh meat. The ancient mechanical remains of the hilltop fortress have been cleared to the side. Those small fortified buildings became the best places to store weapons and ammunition. In front of several fixed gun emplacements, the hunters erected a large ballista box stone frame. Although they are far less powerful than bullets, they can be made at any time and are extremely convenient. Woods and rocks everywhere are the best sources of weapons. The base is a cloth bag decorated with inedible rice and noodles, which has been completely turned into a piece of clean cloth under the cleaning of the woman led by Su Ya. The fabrics are strong, not soft, but quite fine. Compared to the insect felt that pierces people. I don't know how good it feels to wear it. Sewing them together with felt to make sturdy clothes is really warm and comfortable. In the passable area on the periphery of the base, the hunters dug deeper and wider wells on the basis of the cannonballs blasting the big kang. These things, with a little camouflage and reinforcement, are an excellent trap to catch. Especially in the grass close to the base, a terrifying number of wooden spikes were buried in the soil under Tianxiang's order. These things are so sharp that they can easily pierce through even the hardest skin under the feet of humanoids or bugs. In the open space of the fortress at the top of the mountain, a large number of heavy stones were placed. They are located right at the top of the wall. Except for some gravel stuffed in the gaps on all sides, there was no support left, and anyone could roll them off the cliff effortlessly with a single push. One can imagine what would happen to someone who attacked the fortress from these places and was discovered. This is not an original invention or invention. its inspiration. However, the hunting party from the ancient era called 'rolling wood and stone' did not stop working, and they would bring back more prey every day than the people could eat. According to the orders of Tianxiangdi, they must fill the parts of several large cold stores with food within a month. Because, their work, will soon turn to the collection of fuel.

Rainy season. Coming soon.

It's just that for the four human corpses in the cold storage, Tianxiang has an inexplicable feeling. Judging by the clothing of these dead people, they should have been hunters. Moreover, they have also been dead for quite some time. At least, it's been a few months since Tianxiang discovered and captured this humanoid lair.

A few months, for any deceased. It's long enough. Grow long enough to turn any corpse** into a puddle of sparse pus. It's just that from the beginning to the present, the bodies of these deceased have been stored in huge cold storage. With the guarantee of extremely low temperatures, the corpse can naturally remain intact.

However, the most strange thing for Tianxiang and the hunters is that these corpses, which have been dead for a long time, still maintain an extremely strange freshness. It's a freshness that's fundamentally different from frozen meat. It is common sense that hunters will always get more meat before the harsh winter arrives. Use it as a food reserve to survive the winter. These pieces of meat stored outdoors will not rot at all, especially after the first snow falls, they will be directly frozen into ** ice cubes. To eat, simply dissolve it. It still retains a fresh taste.

It's just that the freshness of these corpses is fundamentally different from the freshness of ordinary frozen meat. Because they are very soft, although the muscles and cortex of the body have been completely frozen, the part of the flesh in the center of the corpse still retains an inexplicable softness. So much so that when you touch your fingers, there is a slight elasticity.

They are not completely frozen. It seems that the temperature in the cold storage is not enough for them. On the other hand, the other insect meat in the cold storage, even if it is in the warehouse for two or three days, has already turned into a piece of extremely hard meat ice.

The weirdest thing is that these four corpses, they have no internal organs. The entire abdomen was empty, like a human-shaped pocket made entirely of flesh and skin.

This made Tianxiang incomprehensible at all. The four corpses were superficially distinctly different from the other hunters, except for their clothing. Their hair is not the usual black, but a dull blonde. The figure is also taller than the average person. The cheekbones and the bridge of the nose are much taller and wider than the average person. They appear to be hunters from elsewhere.

Race, which is an important criterion used by ancient humans to distinguish humans on Earth. It is clear that these few corpses, they do not serve Asians. However, despite the different races, it is impossible to freeze without ice like this。。。。。。

Tianxiang had never encountered such a situation, and the data in his brain had no such record at all. As for the others, it is impossible to provide them with any help. In desperation, Tianxiang could only resort to his old method - experiment.

Since it is frozen in cold storage and not iced, then. It's better to simply place it directly at room temperature and see what happens. A corpse was lifted out of cold storage and placed in a clearing outside the base.

A day had passed, and the ice on the surface of the corpse had completely melted. Its muscles also appear to be freshly elastic. It looks like it's no different from an ordinary person who has just died.

For two days, three days, the corpse was still lying there quietly, and Tianxiang checked that all the ice from the inside to the outside had melted. However, to his disappointment, the strange corpse did not exhibit the amount of activation he had hoped for. On the contrary, the surface of it has begun to show signs of partial decay. It seems that he is completely wrong, this is just an ordinary corpse. Maybe it's just because of the difference in appearance from ordinary hunters that it's used as refrigeration by humans!

Since this thing is useless, it is better to simply bury it on the spot. Instead of rotting here, it is better to fill in the soil and use it as fertilizer. It also reduces air pollution.

The body was quickly turned over and buried in the earth. However, due to the late hour, the hunters did not bury the other three bodies together. Therefore. After a tiring day's work, they simply folded the carcass and threw it into a small pit and covered it with dirt. However, when they lifted the other three bodies out of the cold storage and transported them to the same location the next day, they were horrified to find the cave that had been filled in the previous night. I don't know when someone has dug a big hole. As for the corpses buried inside, they have long since disappeared.

"It's not dug up, it's a trail left by pushing the floating soil straight from the inside." Tianxiang, who rushed to hear the news, silently made such a definition in his mind after carefully circling around the broken earth pit a few times. Because, the layer of soil covering the top of the pit is completely scattered in the form of scattered nearby, and ordinary normal excavation cannot achieve such an effect at all. On the face of it. It was as if there had been an explosion in the pit.

"It's nothing, it could have been done by some nearby worm that likes to eat carrion. It could also be those earthworms that live underground. Alright, Xia Dong, let them carry those corpses back to the cold storage! Buried this hole. Do whatever you have to do, we still have a lot of things to do! "The patriarch's word is authority. This explanation is also reasonable, but after the happy crowd dispersed, Tianxiang quietly called several team leaders and Su Ya to his bedroom.

"Su Ya, think about it carefully, during your time when you were captured by humanoids, did you find any anomalies among them?" In front of everyone, Tianxiang asked bluntly. "Anomalous? It doesn't seem to be 。。。。。。 Su Ya shook her head blankly. She really didn't know what Tianxiang wanted to know.

"I mean, anomalies among humanoids. For example, do they become irritable, nervous, or even fearful because of something。。。。。。 Have it? ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Well! When I think about it。。。。。。 Everyone was looking at Su Ya, although, except for Tianxiang, the rest of the people didn't know what was hidden behind the young patriarch's question.

'Wait! Su Ya, who was pondering, suddenly spoke: "I don't know if that incident can be regarded as an abnormality as you say, it's just 。。。。。。 It's just that humanoid 。。。。。 I think it's weird。。。。。。 ”

If there's nothing to do, just say it. The more detailed, the better! "That was supposed to be the third week when Suya was caught in the human lair. Previously, the supervisor who distributed the food had already come twice. Although the so-called food was nothing more than bloody corpses, all the imprisoned women still ate with relish.

On that day, the supervising humanoid once again walked into the cell carrying a male corpse that had apparently been killed. It was a humanoid with four sharp fangs, and the protruding tips were still slightly bloodstained. It can be seen that he has already enjoyed a good meal before delivering food to the inmates. The distribution of corpses remains the same. Su Ya remembers that that day she was given a very chewy upper arm muscle, and half of the lean and slightly warm liver. This kind of food makes her very happy. Because, the last time I got food, it was just a fat and unpalatable yellow fat and half a human head smashed open from it. That kind of thing, once it becomes cold and hard, will be extremely fishy and difficult to swallow.

In particular, the brain pulp in the human head, after coagulation, feels like a piece of stinky milk overnight, very greasy, very sticky, and unpalatable. In contrast, the food this time was undoubtedly a big tooth sacrifice for Su Ya.

However, when she lowered her head and carefully nibbled on the delicious lobster, she inadvertently noticed that when she walked past a cage opposite, the humanoid seemed to have thrown something from its other hand into the food trough there.
