Chapter 287: Corpse City (3)
The city of eternal night, the small but most important room in the dark core. Dr. Shauna was staring straight at the light curtain in front of him, his fingers skimming over the myriad keys of light on the Omis Ga's operating platform like a piano. With each flick of Dr. Shauna's hand, a halo of light rippled like ripples in the water. However, the appearance of each circle of ripples is reflected in the change of a certain set of functions on the light curtain, and the change of each set of functions will make the data light ball floating in the middle release some other information.
This information is not much, but it is enough to stimulate some associations of the doctor, and many wild ideas are born from the face.
Dr. Shauna had been working like this for three days without sleep, and apart from the occasional meal and convenience, he was almost entirely glued to Omisga's operating platform. He was excited right now, and as one command after another was being given, something critical was gradually coming to the surface.
The so-called something, in fact, is the doctor's intuition. When it does appear, it may be a shocking secret, or maybe it's just an ordinary event, who knows?
Dr. Shauna's brain is running at a high speed every second, and although he is not a capable person, his brain's data processing ability is no less than that of an ordinary intelligent brain. But even the capable ones can't perform high-intensity data calculations for 72 hours in a row like Dr. Shauna. Dr. Shauna naturally couldn't take it, so in a small refrigerator in the corner of the room, he had used up as many as nine special potions to stimulate the adrenaline hormones and provide Dr. Shauna's work energy.
On average, Dr. Shauna used three potions in a day. This kind of medicine is no longer something that ordinary people can afford, so an unnatural flush is floating on Dr. Shauna's already pale face.
When Dr. Shauna ignored it, after Zuihou a command was entered. The data balls on the light curtain suddenly split, and the tightly wrapped data bands were now like rings around the stars, circling around a bright light in the center.
That most intense light is the core of the entire data sphere, and it is also the ultimate secret of the disorder's genes. But the core of this group is protected by hundreds, if not more, passwords. Even if the whole day is calculated with Omisga, it will take thousands of years at the earliest to be fully deciphered, if no miracle happens.
However, the separated bands of data would provide Dr. Shauna with a little bit of basic information about the Discord, which would not be a lot, but with enough imagination, Dr. Shauna could fill in the gaps. Of course, the level of completion is not a perfect replication of all of the disorder's information.
Apparently, Dr. Shauna didn't bother with that. For a science fanatic, even the discovery of even a little bit of information is as exciting as Columbus was when he saw the New World. As the Doctor clicked on the light screen almost frantically with the ten fingers of both hands, the data aura on the light curtain was immediately decrypted, and after a while, information and data flew through the Doctor's eyes.
This information may be to the entire core of the Discord what it is to the fury of the sea. But for the doctor, it's an unbelievable thing. The data is still flying, and at this moment, a dialogue window pops up in the corner of the light curtain. After a moment's delay, the majestic face of Speaker Oglock appeared in the window.
"Old friend Shauna, you don't look good, you'd better stop working right now and rest for a few days. In the window, Ogllock said with a frown.
Dr. Shauna didn't look at him, but said excitedly, "A few days off?" God, Ogg, I don't have so much luxury to waste. Look, what did I find?"
Oglock's face turned grim, he let go of his concern for his old friend, and asked instead, "What, there is a new breakthrough?"
"I can't say a breakthrough, I can only say that I have intercepted some marginal information. Dr. Shauna smashed his mouth, as he usually did when he was excited, "Maybe the god of luck has been on my side lately to show me these things." To put it simply, Ogy, our previous assumptions were wrong. The Discord is not simply a human-created biological weapon, but rather the origin of a species. Just like the first human, the Discord is the progenitor of this species, and if the program set deep in its genes goes on as usual, then it will have offspring......"
"You mean they can reproduce?" Ogllock asked.
"That's right, at least that's what the information engraved in the genes tells me. But it's not as simple as breeding, Ogy, and their offspring will evolve. Dr. Shauna swallowed nervously, "This information is not complete, but when you tie it together, I can still see a rough prototype." God, Ogy, I don't know what created them, but one thing is for sure, the creator's intention was to make the Discord a new species, and their offspring would multiply with different abilities and status structures, you know what I saw? yes, society! No, or the kingdom would have come more appropriately. ”
"Think about it, if these horrible things developed their own kingdoms, the same species with different abilities. What do you think of with different kinds of combinations of propensity defense, inclination to attack, inclination to transport, inclination to calculation, and so on?" Dr. Shauner tossed the question to his old friend in the window.
"Modulated biological weapons......" Ogllock's words were also full of surprise.
"That's right, that's exactly what we had in mind. When we can decide on a biological weapon of the same species, but with different types of abilities, it means the emergence of a kingdom. And this idea, perhaps even earlier, was implemented by something we didn't know existed. They have even mapped out a complete blueprint for the kingdom and set the program for reproduction and evolution, and we don't know how many years it will take us to get to this point. Dr. Shauna's voice deepened, "In Discord, I see that technology is far superior to our civilization. Unfortunately, it seems that the Discord is a failed product of a certain Jihua. The mysterious genetic code, while capable of maximizing the owner's abilities, is completely damaged in the modules of reproduction and autonomous evolution. So until now, there has been no adaptable biological weapon kingdom!"
Dr. Shauna was not only a science maniac, but also a genius. Based on only some of the information analyzed, through self-completion and reverse deduction, he has already seen the entire outline of the facts, and all he lacks is details.
But Dr. Shauna didn't know that the so-called modulated biological weapon kingdom he spoke of was quietly emerging in the ruins of a city called Kadam south of the coastline.
The night was dark and heavy, and the wind was strong and urgent!
The oncoming wind was not only cold, but also carried a little bit of ice chips, which shimmered and fluoresced under the reflection of the night sky. Beautiful, yet deadly.
The hardness of this extremely cold ice chips is comparable to that of diamonds, and the body of ordinary people is exposed to this kind of wind with ice chips, but in a moment, ** will be cut to pieces by the ice chips.
Zero and others stood on the rooftop, lacking the shelter of cover, the wind blew more quickly and wildly, although the intensity of ** was much higher than that of ordinary people, but the ice chips carried by the wind still made everyone feel painful, but no one would snort.
"What's that?" Agatha lowered her binoculars, her voice so penetrating that even the wind whistled couldn't make her voice even a little indistinct.
Obviously, Agatha uses certain abilities that Zero doesn't know about, and she's a perceptual powerhouse, so it's not surprising that some of these tricks are played. It's just that Zero doesn't have such a skill, the wind is too strong, unless he roars, even if Agatha stands next to him, he probably can't hear it clearly.
So Zero gestured, to the effect that he would go downstairs and talk again. Agatha nodded, and motioned for the servants to set up a cordon on the floor below the rooftop. By the time a few people got off the rooftop, the library on this floor had been set up with a safe area of about twenty square meters by Agatha's servants.
"I have a not-so-haode hunch about the big fat man. Zero said succinctly.
Agatha nodded in agreement, "I agree, when I applied life sensing to it, I found that its creatures were incredibly large. If ordinary living corpses are matches, butchers and rippers are electric towers, and bomb corpses are power stations. Well, this big fat man is like a nuclear power plant. Strangely enough, however, its health energy is stable and seems to be very unaggressive. ”
"Whatever it is, it's always uncomfortable to have two new varieties in a living corpse in one day. There was a hint of worry in Zero's words, and he was still worried about something as he was now.
He was terrified, and a faint voice in his heart told him that something had quietly changed as far as human eyes could see.
"They're coming. Kaede said from the library window, his expression heavy.
Zero nodded, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go, let's see what kind of role that thing plays." ”
The bloated and big fat man walked slowly but straight into the university town like a mountain of meat, guarded by hundreds of living corpses. However, this team did not go deep into the hinterland, but stayed on the track and field of the Spider Queen in the zero battle that day.
A few people left the library under the cover of night, sneaking to the track and field, and hiding in the stands in the southwest corner. From a distance, the living corpse of the mountain of flesh stretched out its hands like a person preparing for the morning movement. When several of Agatha's servants couldn't help but chuckle, they suddenly saw that the living corpse's hands suddenly stretched out, like a boneless thing, from a short arm of more than a meter to five or six meters long.
The living corpse grasped the ground with both hands, as if after immobilizing its own body, six legs stretched out from underneath. This time, Zero saw clearly, the six legs of the living corpse, shaped like the arthropods of a spider, were also covered with stiff hairs, as if the legs of the giant spider were firmly attached to it. After the living corpse was on its six legs, it also learned to nail the ground like arms, followed the body of the living corpse down, and sat firmly on the ground covered with gravel.
The living corpse touched the ground, and the ground shook slightly. A thin breeze visible to the naked eye blew up the dust all over the ground, spreading out in all directions. Once he was seated, the fat man raised his head towards the sky and let out a sharp whistling. The whistling sound soared into the sky, and then spread far away, and the whole university town could be clearly heard.
And after this whistling sound, thin cracks opened on the fat corpse's mountain-like body. The slit opened, making a sparse tearing sound, and the two sides of the slit were like a torn wound, and countless thin blood streaks were still connected. But the fat corpse was like a dead end, and there was still time to look up to the sky and yawn. Suddenly, a black shadow pierced out of the crack.
There are as many gaps in the flesh as there are black shadows. Like tentacles, they instantly swept up the living corpses that were serving as guards nearby. Whether it was an ordinary living corpse or a high-level monster like the Butcher Ripper, they did not resist, and were swept towards the flesh of the fat corpse by the Dao tentacles. Ordinary living corpses and rippers are smaller, and they are immediately tucked into the flesh gap and enter the body of the fat corpse. The burly butcher was caught by several tentacles and tore it apart on both sides, tearing it in half, and then the body was also rolled into the fat corpse.
When all the living corpses were swept into the body, the fat corpse's whole body began to tremble. Waves of flesh surged from top to bottom, and thin white smoke emanated from the pores of the fat corpse's body, like a huge machine that had begun to run.
In the stands, Agatha was amazed: "Its bioenergy is climbing!"
At the end of the voice, Zero's pupils shrank slightly. In his eyes, he saw countless living corpses pouring in from the entrance of the athletic field. They quickly ran to the location of the fat corpse, and as these living corpses approached, the flesh gap on the fat corpse's body opened again, and more tentacles popped out. The living corpse below didn't run away as if it had seen something in its heart, but jumped straight up and went straight to the tentacles of the fat corpse.
The tentacles continued to roll around the ordinary living corpses that were automatically sent to the door in mid-air, and then stuffed them into their bodies. With each living corpse swallowed, the big fat man's bio-energy increased by one point. When he arrived, the energy light visible to the naked eye enveloped the fat corpse's whole body. And even so, there are still living corpses that keep coming, constantly being swallowed into the fat corpse, becoming part of its energy.
At the entrance of the athletic field, there was a steady stream of living corpses, which should have stayed in the university town, and all the living corpses heard the roaring call of the fat man. They don't mind being the nourishment of the fat corpse, and by the time the fat corpse devoured nearly half of the living corpses, it had doubled in size compared to before.
Meat tendons are constantly growing from the sandwich of fat meat, and they are connected into flesh, followed by a flesh membrane. Once the membrane is formed, it forms the soil in which the plant can grow, and more tendons are generated, raised, expanded, connected and zuihou from the membrane to form pink muscles. As a result, layers of newly generated muscles spread out on the surface of the fat corpse's body, but in a moment, the fat corpse had turned into a pile of meat puree, except for the big bald head that still appeared on the mountain of meat.
"What is this for??," Agatha whispered to herself.
Her question, no one was able to answer her. Even the most ordinary servants knew that this was no ordinary food. After all, I had never heard of any kind of mutant creature that needed to eat on such a scale, and there were at least nearly a thousand living corpses that were swallowed by fat corpses!
"It's evolution...... Zero suddenly remembered that in the mining area of the Z7 base, he saw several gold-spitting insects devouring each other. In addition to this, while staying in Phoenix, Fenri Wolves also evolved a new wolf king by devouring their own kind.
Now, the scene of the fat corpse devouring its own kind is very similar to what I saw today.
"Look, it seems to be evolving!"
Su's exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears, and his slightly divergent mind quickly gathered together. He looked towards the track and field, and sure enough, the fat corpse had changed again.
The fat man raised his head and let out a cry of pain, followed by sarcomas that protruded from the back to the top of his head. The sarcoma suddenly exploded, and in the splash of blue-yellow body fluid, black shadows pierced out. A black shadow appeared in mid-air, like bone spurs. The bone spurs stretched out in all directions centered on the fat corpse, and they pierced into the walls of the stands around the track field and burrowed deep into it.
The fat corpse in the track and field is as ridiculous as growing an antenna all over its body, but no one present laughs.
A moment later, a slight tremor appeared at the feet of the crowd. Before he could figure out what was going on, pink liquid bubbled up from various cracks in the grandstand floor. As soon as the liquid comes into contact with the air, it immediately condenses into a gelatinous form, like a pink film of flesh.
The flesh film quickly spread to the surface of all the buildings, and the faces of a few people changed drastically, and they immediately retreated to get away from the strange flesh film. But there seemed to be no limit to the expansion of the flesh membranes, and they soon flooded the entire track and field, chasing them towards the rest of the university town.
When the flesh membrane is formed, there are red silk threads in the shape of tree roots, which are like the nerves of something, and if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that there are bursts of fluorescent light flowing through these nerves regularly.
This process lasted for nearly half an hour, and it was only after the flesh film took over the entire college town that they stopped growing and expanding. These things occupy the heights of all the buildings and wrap around the entire college town.
Zero and the others appeared on the rooftop of a building near the athletic field, their feet on this gelatinous membrane of flesh. Su used a heavy sword to tear off a piece of the ground casually, and new tissue quickly grew from the break in the flesh membrane on the ground, and it was repaired again in the blink of an eye.
"What are these disgusting things?" Su frowned as she looked at the pink substance on her sword.
Zero shook his head, he really wasn't good at biology, and if Eva was here, he should be able to see something. Unfortunately, that woman is now far away in Asgardri, assisting Victor in Leah's rebirth.
Aksa clasped her hands to her chest and bowed her head slightly, as if thinking about something. After a while, a deep voice sounded in her mouth: "Look, the red line in those things doesn't look like a neural network?"
Everyone was stunned, and if what Agatha said was true, then the neural networks that covered the entire college town were like a large signal transmission terminal. Suddenly, Zero knew how the will that bound the mass of living corpses was conveying his commands.
