Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu looked over there in surprise. When they were brought back, the combat troops of the Qing Consortium seemed to be still dealing with the "experimental subject." So what is happening now is that the combat troops brought the experimental subject back? .
To be honest, the two of them were also curious about what the experimental subject was.
But the next moment they were all stunned. They saw a multi-layer reinforced steel cage being carried over, and there was a gray... person lying inside!
The gray color is not the person's original skin color, but the color of the dust and mud stuck to his skin.
Liu Bu looked at the man in the cage in surprise. The man had been shot several times, but there was no large amount of blood flowing out of the gun. It seemed that the moment the bullets entered the body, they were shot. Controlling the skin and muscles, he closed his wounds.
This is unimaginable for ordinary people, because no one can fully control their own body.
And the arms and legs of this gray figure are chained!
The iron chain was originally used to imprison this man somewhere, but he broke free and broke it. So, did the sound of the chains that Liu Bu and the others heard that night come from this person?
At this moment, Liu Bu thought of Xu Xia's broken body and the human teeth marks on the body. He immediately vomited it out. He didn't believe it when Xu Xianchu and the others said that the person who bit Xu Xia's body was a human. Now he couldn't help but not believe it.
The huge feeling of fear and nausea was like a big hand holding Liu Bu's stomach, pinching everything out of his stomach.
There was no food in his stomach, so all he vomited out was a mixture of light green gastric juice and bile.
Qing Zhen looked at Liu Bu with interest: "It seems that you also know something about it. Have you seen the corpse it bitten?"
Luo Xinyu was at this time Her reaction was stronger than that of Liu Bu. She seemed to be forcing herself to calm down and asked: "What on earth is this..."
"Since it is called an experimental subject, it is of course used for experiments. "It's something," Qing Zhen said, "Don't get me wrong, this thing has nothing to do with our Qing clan. They were products before the catastrophe, and we only learned of their existence recently."
"The catastrophe. "Previously?" Luo Xinyu seemed a little shocked: "How long has it been since the disaster? Can they survive for so long? Wait, you said 'they'..."
At this time, Luo Xinyu suddenly realized. , there may be more than one ghost!
Qing Zhen looked at the "person" in the cage carefully and said: "They seem to have just recently escaped from the confinement of the laboratory. Even I am curious about how they are alive today. , This is a living specimen."
Liu Bu shuddered, Qing Zhen actually regarded a living person as a specimen, even if that person was no longer a human or a ghost.
Suddenly Luo Xinyu realized why the Qing Consortium was here in Jingshan. They even mobilized a large number of workers.Engineering equipment, even at the expense of manpower and material resources, just to find the laboratory where these ghosts were once imprisoned!
When they realized that there was more than one experimental subject, they also realized why the combat troops immediately called for support when they encountered the experimental subject.
This is because I am worried that there are others of the same kind nearby!
"How many experimental subjects did we encounter just now, and how many casualties were there when we captured him?" Qing Zhen asked.
Someone on the side said: "We only encountered this one. Five combat teams were used, 3 died and 13 were injured."
Qing Zhen shook his head: "It is enough to capture one experimental subject. If you encounter them again in the future, you can directly eliminate them regardless of life or death, without causing any more casualties."
"Understood," the officer of the consortium combat unit replied.
The experimental subject in the cage was obviously not dead, because Luo Xinyu and the others could still see the rise and fall of his chest when he breathed.
But she was a little confused: "The disaster must have been hundreds of years ago, why are they still alive?"
This is the most difficult thing to understand for a normal human being Their lifespan is only a few decades, and a little more than a hundred years. If this experimental body is a product before the disaster, how come they have survived until now in the underground laboratory? This is unreasonable!
Even if the life span can be extended, what will these experimental subjects eat in the underground laboratory?
Qing Zhen stood in front of the cage and smiled: "Isn't it just for this secret that I want to catch them? Multicellular organisms like humans, for example, use cell division as a way to grow and reproduce. Basics. It stands to reason that cell division should be infinite. After all, if you can divide it the first time, you can divide it the second time or even more. But the strange thing is that all human cells stop suddenly after dividing an average of fifty times. , and then leads to irreversible decline."
This is the origin of human aging and death. After cells divide about fifty times, the cells will stop dividing, and then the human organs will fail. die.
Qing Zhen looked at the man in the cage and continued: "I suspect that this laboratory may have mastered the method of infinite cell division to improve the body's metabolic cycle and lifespan. But they have not Think about the cost of doing this."
Qing Zhen called the creature in the cage a human ghost, neither a human nor a ghost. In his opinion, these human ghosts have completely lost their reason as humans, and their IQs have deteriorated, and they are no different from beasts.
However, compared with their IQ, the physical strength and flexibility of these human ghosts far exceed that of normal humans, and even beasts cannot match them.
Furthermore, wild beasts all abide by order. Just as Ren Xiaosu said, species still have their order.
This experimental subject is different, they have no order.
At this moment, the experimental subject who had suffered four or five gunshot wounds woke up again. He suddenly arched his body and hit the steel cage, as if he wanted to use brute force to break the cage!
It turned out that the cage seemed to be specially made by the Qing Consortium. No matter how he hit it, the cage was only slightly deformed but was never broken by him.
The experimental subject slowly stopped trying, and instead stared fiercely at Qing Zhen in front of him. At this time, Luo Xinyu and the others discovered that no matter how fierce the experimental subject struggled just now, Qing Zhen was as calm as Like a sculpture, he never took a step back out of fear.
Qing Zhen unloaded a pistol and threw it into the cage. As a result, the experimental subject actually bit the gun body, crushing the steel gun to pieces!
Qing Zhen looked at the experimental subject, and he suddenly said: "Records, the evolution of teeth, narrow pupils, and habit of crawling are no longer human beings. They are suspected to be the product of gene editing. This laboratory suspects It was the secret experimental base of Pyrotechnics before the disaster."
Someone next to him immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down what Qing Zhen said intact. Looking at Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu's surprise, others were surprised. It seems that he has long been accustomed to Qing Zhen's calmness.
