Chapter 516 The Secret of the Dead Corpse
The female translator continued: "The instructor did not believe that this strange death was entirely caused by psychological suggestion. He felt that this explanation was too ridiculous. So, after a long period of independent research, he found out the true cause of this strange death.
The reason was finally found by him.
Because this incident happened a hundred years ago, all relevant personnel are gone, so we can only slowly look for clues based on written materials.
According to the address recorded in the crew's logbook, the instructor personally hired a boat to find the island, but found nothing. He was very surprised because the location of the island was recorded in more detail in the logbook, but
After he arrived at that location, he did not see the island. What was going on? Did the island not exist? And was the entire incident fabricated by the crew?
The tutor had just arrived, and it would be difficult to figure things out on his own, so he decided to find some authoritative geologists first, because he had a vague feeling that these mysterious deaths might have something to do with geology.
Sure enough, after some research, the geologist told him that a hundred years ago, there was indeed a small island in that place, but the island was not big, only a few square kilometers, and its altitude was very low.
As global climate warms and sea levels rise, that small island is submerged by sea water.
What shocked the instructor even more was that geologists said that the island was very unusual. It was formed by a meteorite that fell to the earth more than a billion years ago. Therefore, compared with other small islands, it has many weird features.
Phenomenon - For example, this large meteorite can continuously radiate heat. This can be clearly seen from the satellite's infrared remote sensing map, because its temperature is obviously higher than the surroundings, even though it is already under the sea water.
This information was simply too important for the instructor. Based on this information, the instructor immediately realized that due to the special temperature and environment of the island, it is easy to breed some unique viruses, and these viruses must have
It has very wonderful characteristics, and the deaths of those crew members may be related to the special virus.
So, he came to that place again, put on his diving suit, and dived into the sea. Sure enough, he found the small island. Although the island sank into the water, the overall structure remained unchanged, and it was all made of a kind of
Composed of stones.
The instructor used a special small hacksaw to cut off a piece of stone on the island, and then placed it in a special container - a container specially designed to store virus samples.
After bringing the stone back, the mentor conducted research on the stone in the world's most advanced virus laboratory. When the results of the research came out, the mentor was completely shocked, because he actually found something in the stone.
He discovered the weirdest virus, and this virus was so weird that even as an authority in virology, he was deeply shocked.
This virus is very large. Normal viruses can only be seen under an electron microscope, but this virus is larger than bacteria.
Even more strange is the incredible characteristic of this virus - this virus is usually in a dormant state and can only be activated on snowy days. However, after being activated for the first time, it will quickly enter the body and then enter the body again.
It becomes dormant, so it basically has no effect on living things.
When these viruses enter the organism, they will be quickly activated again when encountering heavy snow. When activated for the second time, the virus will multiply on a large scale and damage the nervous system of the organism. Organisms infected by this virus will
, it will be extremely painful, and it will run to the snow. After a struggle, it will eventually die miserably on the snow.
The instructor used a variety of organisms to do this experiment. Without exception, these organisms were infected by the virus when it snowed for the first time, but did not show any symptoms. However, when it snowed the second time, the virus was infected.
will be activated, causing the creature to die tragically.
No matter whether the animals used for experiments are rats, rabbits, monkeys, or others, the results are the same, with the exception of one animal - cats.
After a cat is infected with this virus, it will not die even if it snows again, but it will lose all the hair on its legs, all over its body, and all its legs. Not even a hair will be left, and its cry will also change——
It changed to look like a woman's laughter, which sounded very scary.
In addition, there is a very strange point - organisms infected with this virus will have black spots on their bones, and these spots are diamond-shaped.
After this experiment, the mystery of the death of those crew members was finally clarified by the instructor. It turned out that the strange deaths were entirely caused by the virus."
That female assistant is really extraordinary. The problems we had been puzzled by were solved easily by her. In this specialized field, it can be said that she is truly well-informed.
Now, it is clear that there is a similar virus in the "death zone" on one side of the crack. This virus is closely related to snowy days. Although we have been there, luckily it is early autumn weather and it will not rain.
Snow, otherwise, we will really be infected by that virus. By then, if we encounter another snowy day, it will be the day of our death. It is really terrible to think about it.
If you don't know the principle behind it, you will definitely think it is a kind of poison.
After listening to the female translator, Old Yuan next to him suddenly said with emotion: "This information is really important to me, and it suddenly made me think of the dead body at the door."
"By the way, Mr. Yuan, what happened to the dead body at your door? You haven't told us yet?" Sister Li asked bluntly.
We all wanted to know about this, but when we asked Old Man Yuan, he did not tell us immediately.
When this matter was mentioned, for some reason, Old Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "The reason why I didn't tell everyone at that time was because I was afraid of affecting everyone's emotions, because I knew that once the whole story was told, everyone would
You will feel fear and it will be difficult to dare to go to that crack again."
After hearing what Old Yuan said, everyone was stunned and didn't know what he meant.
Old Man Yuan let out a long sigh, and then continued slowly: "Actually, when I saw the dead body at the door, I was also very shocked, because I have never encountered this kind of thing in the past few decades.
After looking at my 'Phoenix Queen', I roughly understood what was going on.
In fact, although the dead body was not Zhang Liangchen, I guess it was related to Zhang Liangchen. When it came to my place, it should have stolen the manuscripts written by senior Xuan Heng, but it was stung by my bird with poison.
Got stabbed.
You all know that the beautiful-looking feathers of that bird are actually tentacles, and these tentacles have venomous stingers. These tentacles are extremely powerful, and the venom is even more terrifying-this kind of venom, once injected into
In the muscles, the muscles will dissolve quickly.
Next to the corpse, there were pools of black liquid, which were dissolved muscle tissue. But this was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was the origin of the dead body.
My bird told me that when the dead body appeared at the door, the skin and flesh on its body had rotted away piece by piece, and bones were exposed in many places, but it could still speak and think normally, and its skills were very powerful.
Not only that, it also knows my home very well, and can also directly talk to the 'Phoenix Queen'.
It also threatened the 'Phoenix Queen', saying that if it dared to stop it, it would kill the 'Phoenix Queen'. And my 'Phoenix Queen' was also very smart, deliberately pretending to be scared, and talked a few words with the dead corpse.
This sentence really pulls out a lot of information.
The dead corpse said that it came from the opposite side of the crack, and besides it, there were many others of its kind. After saying that, it prepared to enter the house, but of course the 'Phoenix Queen' stopped it, and they started fighting.
The 'Phoenix Queen' told me that the dead body seemed to be invincible. Several times, it had been clearly beaten to the ground by the 'Phoenix Queen' and injected with venom. A lot of the remaining flesh on the dead body had also dissolved, but every time
Not long after, the dead body returned to normal, got up and continued fighting with the 'Phoenix Queen'.
This is really terrifying, and the recovery time is almost an hour each time. In addition, the most shocking thing is the bones of the dead body.
I have told everyone that the 'Phoenix Queen''s tentacles are extremely powerful and can crush stones, but they cannot break up the bones of a dead body. Because in the fights, the 'Phoenix Queen' gradually realized that the skin and flesh of the dead body,
No matter how much is dissolved, its fighting ability will not be affected.
So the 'Phoenix Queen' tried to break up the bones of the dead body, but the bones of the dead body were extremely tough. The 'Phoenix Queen' did it many times, but the bones of the dead body were still intact. The 'Phoenix Queen' told me that the bones of the dead body looked like
It is elastic and will quickly return to its original shape no matter how hard or how hard it is pulled.
In fact, when we saw the dead body, it happened to be in a state of 'recovery'. If we wait a little longer, it can regain its fighting ability. Therefore, I burned it to ashes with gasoline. Otherwise, even if it is buried,
After dropping it, it can still come out of the soil.
In addition, I also discovered a very important point - there were many black diamond-shaped spots on the bones of the dead body."
What Mr. Yuan said made us extremely shocked - especially when he said that there were many diamond-shaped spots on the bones of the dead body.
The female translator just said that black diamond-shaped spots will appear on the bones of creatures infected by that virus. But I didn't expect that the bones of the dead body also had those black diamond-shaped spots!
Are dead bodies also infected with that virus?
Zhang Liangchen's state has always been incomprehensible to us, because he is very different from Xuan Heng - in Xuan Heng's case, the skin cells gradually mutate, and various functions of life are controlled by the mutated skin cells.
Responsible, even including thinking function.
But Zhang Liangchen's skin is basically rotten, but his life functions can still be carried out normally, including thinking and action, which are almost unaffected. What's going on?
Obviously, the dead body was very similar to Zhang Liangchen in all aspects - the skin and flesh were basically rotten and the bones were exposed, but the vital functions were still unaffected. Why is this?
