Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 11 Out of Control
However, before they could recover from their horror, the "human" who had turned from a piece of meat collapsed directly in front of their eyes——

Yes, it was a "collapse". Large chunks of flesh peeled off its body, the intestines that had lost their support flowed out of the large hole in the abdominal cavity, and those riddled organs kept falling to the ground. ...

The blackened blood was thick like boiling asphalt, bubbling continuously, an eyeball was squeezed out of its socket, and rolled to Ke Lan's feet.

In less than 5 minutes, this thing completed the process from a piece of meat to a "person", and then turned into a puddle of pus and blood... Only an incomplete skeleton and a few human beings remained Characteristics.

No one has ever seen such a scene before. The thick smell of blood and stench in the air makes people feel like they are in purgatory... No, maybe purgatory doesn't necessarily have such an exciting scene.

The hound sat on the ground with his mouth wide open, unable to speak. He was the one who was hit the hardest among all the people present - after all, that thing... that "person" had a face exactly like him.

It's like watching "self"'s body crumble. If you change to someone with a slightly weaker psychological quality, I might have gone crazy on the spot, but looking at him, he seems to be on the verge of losing his mind. now...

"It...it...it...self-generated...dead?" Layton held back for a long time before finally squeezing these words out of his clenched teeth.

"What the hell is that..." the Hound murmured. "Does it... have a face like mine...?"

"He does have your face, but it's not a ghost." Ivan said suddenly, he stared at the pool of filth, and his tone was full of uncontrollable excitement, "You still remember your fingers Have you been scratched before?"

"You...what do you mean...?" The Hound was startled, "You mean...this damn thing sucked my blood and then turned into me?"

"There's nothing wrong with your understanding--" Ivan clapped his hands and said, "That thing is not a piece of meat... I guess it is actually a large mass of undifferentiated primitive stem cells! I have never seen such a volume of activity. Stem cell population! And it also has a strong ability to replicate! It perfectly copies your human genes, and then it keeps dividing, proliferating, differentiating... and finally becoming another you! Miracle... No, this is definitely a miracle!"

Ivan clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed red, and he continued excitedly: "As long as I can get a little specimen, this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine must be mine... No, there is no Nobel Prize anymore. What's the point, I'm going to change the entire human race... we may even... immortal!"

I thought that the first person to lose his mind would be the hound, but no one thought that Ivan would fall directly into madness... It's just that it wasn't fear that drove him crazy, but a huge desire... For knowledge and Unknown Infinite Desire!
"Are you all right, doctor?" Layton looked at him worriedly. "I don't understand what you mean by immortality, but isn't that monster dead? It didn't even maintain its human form for more than ten seconds..."

"No no no!" Ivan shook his head vigorously, "The collapse of the body is entirely due to the excessive energy that has been overdrawn by cell division and differentiation, you see—"

Before everyone could react, Ivan rushed over and picked up a broken bone from the pool of dirty blood.

With just a light blow, the broken bones turned directly into bone powder and scattered from his fingers.

"Because of the lack of calcium in the bones, the bones are extremely fragile, even the elderly with osteoporosis are inferior... But what if we give sufficient calcium when these cells differentiate into bones? The result will be completely different!"

"Miracle...that's not a miracle! Absolutely not! That's a monster! Monster!" The Hound stood up abruptly and pointed the gun in his hand at Ivan, his whole body was shaking, but the hand holding the gun But surprisingly stable.

"It's not right...it's not right..." Ke Lan, who had been silent, shook his head. He always felt a very wrong atmosphere. Although the situation in front of him was already tense, it didn't seem to be the source of unease... What's wrong?
The piece of meat?It doesn't seem to be. Although that thing surprised him, it was far from shocking. He didn't know whether it was because of his nerves being too thick or something else... In his subconscious, it seemed that this kind of The mutation has gradually become accustomed to...

Is this already numb... numb... the opposite of numb is... sensitive?Yes, it is sensitive!

Ke Lan suddenly found out where his weird feeling came from - from the beginning, the Hound and Ivan were too sensitive!Whether it was the fear and madness of the hound, or the frenzy that Ivan showed that was completely inconsistent with his calm personality, these emotions seemed to be magnified several times by some invisible factor.

This behavior is exactly the same as being drunk. Alcohol will paralyze the human brain, inhibit the central nervous system, make it difficult for people to control their own situation, and at the same time enter a state of being extremely excitable-Is it because I Where is drunk?impossible!With his alcoholic character, let alone just a few sips, it's impossible to get drunk even if you drink a whole pot of wine.As for the hound, he had never touched a drop of wine.

Or, is there a problem with the environment here?
The smell of blood in the air was still very strong, and Ke Lan subconsciously took a few deep breaths, and a very hard to detect, but real hot feeling came up quietly, but before he could react, the dry heat had disappeared. invisible.

It's the bloody smell that's the problem!
The scene where the meat changed just now was too terrifying, and normal people would inevitably experience rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath, which would cause them to inhale a lot of this bloody gas, and it was this gas that made them become This look!
The air quality in the passage was tested when they came in. The oxygen content was sufficient, and no toxic and harmful substances were detected. In addition, the radiation dose in this place was negligible. I took it off, but I didn't expect it to be hit at this time.

As for why Layton is fine, that's because he is a Level [-] Transformer himself, and his body's ability to resist poison is extremely strong.

"Stop it all! Listen to me! Hold your breath, put on your protective mask, and don't breathe the bloody air in the passage!"

"Why should I listen to you, what are you—" Before the hound could say "what", Ke Lan hit him in the ribs with an elbow, grabbed his pistol, and took out his pistol. He put his protective mask on his face.

"You mean...the smell of blood is poisonous? Are you sure? How did you know?" Ivan was still sober, and although full of doubts, he still put on the mask.

The hound was still struggling violently at first, but as time passed by, his movements gradually eased, and finally, he patted Ke Lan who was pressing him to the ground, in a very tired voice Said: "I'm fine...I'm fine...Oh, it's really evil..."

Ke Lan and Layton helped him up together, the hound rubbed his ribs and said, "I just felt... as if there was a blood rushing to the top of my forehead... To be honest, I Nearly shot, Zhentama!"

"Actually, I also think that you were abnormal just now. I have known you for so many years, old dog, and I have always known that you are a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted guy. Even if you quarrel, it is absolutely impossible for you to use a gun at your own people... ...but yours just made me feel very strange and strange, as if the rotten meat replaced you..." Layton said with some emotion.

"Don't mention that shit." The Hound's body trembled slightly, "Um... Ke Lan, how did you find out about this? Also, why do you seem to be fine? I don't think you're wearing a protective mask. ?"

"I'm fine, although I have a little reaction, but it's not as obvious as you and Ivan..." Ke Lan replied, in fact, he himself didn't quite know why he didn't have symptoms of emotional out of control. It stands to reason that the amount he inhaled was not Not much, but the heat disappeared immediately after it appeared, and there was absolutely no feeling of blood rushing up like the hound described.

Is it because of his special body?Ke Lan glanced at Leidon subconsciously... But, he has never undergone biochemical transformation?
