4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Impermanence Level 3021
"We have to leave ... but we can't leave ..."
"But don't worry, we will find a way soon ..."
Surrounded by flashing fluorescent plant-like creatures ... the exhibition hall still stands in its original position.
The people in the exhibition hall are not feeling well now because they have just heard a news.
That is ... they can't leave here.
The notice said "technical failure", which is currently being repaired, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among tourists.
And the owner of the exhibition hall that has just announced ... it's in a worse mood than tourists.
Because they only know the specific details.
"This plague ... can't let it reach Ersh."
Here is ... the general manager's office, the owner of the exhibition hall and a large group of staff, as well as Lin and Bilu are here.
Their expressions are very ugly, because they learned a lot of things just now, mainly about ...
The 'cold plague' thing.
Lin is now looking at a three-dimensional picture on the wall, showing detailed information ... There is information about the plague.
Corpse bacteria, microorganisms with transforming ability, have been given such a name temporarily.
According to different individuals, it takes several days and nights for them to turn the Ershi people into corpses.
They have been working from the moment they invade the body of the Ershi people ... that is to remove the water from the cells. These corpse bacteria will build a 'pipe' in the body of the Ershi people that leads directly to the skin surface. The "pipe" will continuously draw the body water of the Ershimin and discharge it outside the body.
Corpse bacteria will quickly engulf every cell, they will squeeze out almost all the water in the cell, and store the rest ... part of it.
At first, they will break down digestive organs, muscles of hands and feet, etc., and then slowly extend upwards, and finally reach the brain.
In the process, Ershi's body will shrink rapidly, but he has not died at this time.
After the brain is completely broken down, they begin to break down the bones. At this time, they will use the materials obtained by breaking down the cells.
The corpse bacteria use cell materials and their own body ... mixing, while breaking down the bones, they also form new bones, and finally use these new bones to completely replace the original bones of the Ershimin.
At the same time, in the outer skin and the completely dried, the remaining small amount of meat, cadaver bacteria will also be mixed with some special substances.
This will make the body of the Ershi people tougher, at least not to be brittle in the extreme environment of the cold ...
At this time, the Ershimin almost became a complete corpse.
Sometimes, the Ershi people infected with corpse bacteria will not shrink, they will create new bones of exactly the same size as the original, which is why sometimes corpses of the same size as adult Ershi people can be seen.
But ... what is the corpse bacteria?
There is no way for Lin to check this state in detail ... only to observe and study in general.
They are actually very similar to micro-machines. There is no water in the body. The shape is similar to insects. They have many legs, which allows them to move and capture cells quickly.
There is a miniature 'decomposition plant' in the corpse bacteria, which can perfectly remove the water in the cells and leave useful materials.
This is really an interesting creature, but where did they come from?
Lin mainly paid attention to this point. After being completely transformed into a corpse, there are no corpse bacteria on her body.
Because these bacteria form their new bones, and at the same time they also form a brand new ... but simple structure brain.
This brain is somewhat like a mechanical computing system, it can control the entire bone, but there is little intelligence at all.
The corpse also has ... a digestive system.
Lin found that they could eat the Ershi people, and also obtain nutrients from some local minerals.
At present, Lin knows so much.
Where do corpse bacteria come from, are they native species?Is it something else?Why is it particularly infected with the Ershi people?
If it is an ontological species, it is almost impossible to have the ability to target the Ershi people, and the Ershi people have not been in the cold for long.
Therefore, these creatures should be very special.
They specifically infected the Ershi people and transformed them into corpses.
They have even destroyed all research stations ... and the base of the research team.
Not long ago, the team of the exhibition hall and Lin and Bilu have visited every research group base here.
There is almost nothing left in these bases, and there are no people inside. They are either empty, or they are full of scars and scattered objects, leaving countless marks of attack.
The only gain from these bases is to find some research reports on corpses.
So Lin can only see the detailed process of corpse transformation now.
Some reports also mention ... about dream energy.
The dream energy is mainly generated when the corpse decomposes the brains of the Ershimin, and the reason for this is unknown.
The corpses will use these energies to interfere with the Ershi people. There have been several system errors before, and Bilu's mental abnormality is caused by dream energy.
But ... generally speaking, corpses and dream energy are not directly related, they are not dream creatures.
Because the base here is completely destroyed, the exhibition hall is currently unable to contact the research team, and they cannot return to Ershi.
Not only because the current transmitter cannot be started ... because this can only be sent between two locations at a fixed point, but now it is not possible to obtain the signal from another location.
So ... there is no way to move.
Another point is that traces of corpses were found around the exhibition hall.
The boss is very worried that if he moves back to Ershi now, will he bring the corpse bacteria back there?
If this kind of thing happened to Ershi, it would be very troublesome.
"What should we do now? The people outside have become more and more uneasy!"
At this time, an employee ran in from the entrance and said: "Can't we move yet?"
"It has not been repaired yet," the boss said. "And we can't go back so casually."
"Everyone." The boss continued: "Obviously, a very serious situation has happened in this world, but this is also just right, let's ... just deal with this situation."
"What?" "What do we mean by dealing with it?" "But we have nothing now!"
All the people around were surprised, and the boss said: "This is what our research team is doing to protect our race."
"These creatures that threaten us so much, we must destroy them, even if we can't do it, let them be trapped here!"
"For our home, we must do this!"
The surrounding Shirmin heard the boss talking, and they all seemed to agree.
