Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 175 Drowning in the Air

"Mr. Kraft, I have a request." Kupp followed Kraft to patrol the messy camp. He hesitated for a long time before making the request uncharacteristically, "I want to learn from you."

"Isn't it now?"

"Well, I mean go a step further and learn your knowledge as a doctor."

Kraft turned back, looked at him with eyes like seeing a ghost, and waved the torch in front of his eyes, "This is quite rare, I thought you were not very interested in these things."

"I thought about it carefully, and I think it is still necessary to learn a little bit." Kupu said bravely.It was not that he suddenly planned to change his career plan, but he was inspired by practical observation and found that certain knowledge had practical value beyond his original intention.

Knowing the fragile parts of bones can be used to locate fractures, and of course it can also be used to create fractures. The power of knowledge is indeed considerable.

This point has been best demonstrated by Kraft himself in the battle just now, and the effect is remarkable.This is the first time he realizes that those profound things that seem to be far away from him are actually always around him, and he uses them in a straightforward and simple way.

Medicine turned out to be so simple!
Kraft was very happy with Kupp's active demands for improvement, and readily accepted the matter.

"I'm glad you made the right decision. You can never have too much knowledge, but you have to take it step by step. Let's start by adding bone names to the new words you want to learn."

"Thank you for your generosity." It can be foreseen that the burden will be greatly increased in the future, but Kupu feels that he is not so repulsed by the boring study of characters. He thinks that he can try it out, set a small goal, and finish learning the content of the skeleton chapter, so that he can start later .

Kraft nodded and finalized the matter, and the class schedule would probably have to be rearranged, but that would have to be done after solving the immediate problem.

Bending down to pick up the corner of the overturned tent, he remembered seeing a subordinate who was on the verge of a dust explosion out of the corner of his eye, and was dragged into Munbury while being tripped and tumbling in panic.

When it was time to clean up the mess, the subordinate didn't see him come out again.Kraft pulled out the wooden pole of the support, loosened the tightly wrapped cloth ball along the direction, and straightened it.

On the flat ground, the cloth ball was spread loosely, with no human-shaped protrusions.

"Where's the person?" Kraft tore off the cloth and folded it into a roll. There was nothing underneath, except for a broadsword that was out of his hand, which should have fallen when he fell and struggled.

Looking at the gathered survivors, they haven't stopped losing control of their emotions, but they have a tendency to intensify. Some people shrink their bodies and cry bitterly.

There is no need for a uniform attire in this meeting, everyone's attire depends on their habits, even if you don't rely on your face, you can tell that the figure of the subordinate is not in the crowd.Kraft felt sorry for him for a moment—thought he'd survive.

The two began to help Martin deal with the dead.Cover your face with a cloth towel, lift the remains of those unfortunate people out of the dust, and gather them together.This requires more care than when they are still alive, so as not to stir up dust and cause secondary damage to living people.

The hardest part of the job is separating the fungal host from the entangled human.The contact surfaces are bonded together regardless of each other, even if the dust left by those mushrooms is not considered, if they are separated by brute force, they will only be uncovered together with the infiltrated cortex.

After several attempts, Martin gave up the idea of ​​peeling them off intact, and instead took some of the felled firewood and piled them around the remains that were not worth saving.

Hearing the approaching footsteps behind him, he said calmly: "At least most of the fallen people can still leave their bodies intact; and these are not too bad, at least someone will help with the aftermath."

"Although it sounds too cruel, I must remind that it is not a good idea to keep intact remains. We don't know if they will become like that." The source needs no elaboration, "They might get back on their feet."

It takes no matter how long it takes for the fungus to transform the body into a breeding ground for growth and then into something else, but it's never a good idea to keep it around.

He hopes that this transformation phase will last as long as possible.The situation in Westminster is very worrying. I can only hope that sending someone back to call the police can catch up, or at least not affect Yvonne.

Although he was intellectually aware that there was no point in being impatient, Kraft still felt unavoidably irritable, and stomped on a cluster of conspicuous mushroom bushes at his feet in an angry way.

"You're right, it will cost more firewood... Sorry, wait a minute." The knight was about to put the wood in his hand on the firewood pile, when he suddenly raised his hand to cover the light, rubbed his eyes, "Okay."

"Is there any discomfort?" During the battle just now, everyone was more or less exposed to the dust erupted by the mushrooms, and all kinds of small symptoms need to be vigilant.

Martin put down his palm, turned his eyeballs left and right, as if he was looking for something fleeting, and quickly turned back to the person he was talking to, "No, it was just dazzled. There is nothing to do here, and you should go, too, Professor take a break."

"Wait a minute, I want to ask one thing, have you seen those things drag the corpse away?"

"No, I haven't noticed. Have you seen it?"

"No, so this is very strange." The eyes walked around among the survivors and the collected remains, and then counted the ones that were just about to be burned. There was a problem that was temporarily neglected in the chaos, "The number of people is not right."

"There are... four people missing, right?"

This includes the subordinate who was noticed.No traces could be seen on the ground in the forest after the scuffle destroyed it, and Kraft didn't pay much attention. After turning around, he confirmed that several people were not within the range of the camp no matter whether they were dead or alive.

He had just asked Kupp the same question, and the answer was no.

The situation just now was too chaotic, and no one could determine their whereabouts.Inadvertently walked out of the camp and got lost in the forest, or was actually dragged away, which cannot be confirmed in the absence of eyewitness evidence.

"Let's just treat them as dead, we can't find them." It's normal for some missing people to appear when cleaning the battlefield. They usually go to many places, and here it can basically be equated with death.

Putting firewood on the cremation pile and covering the face of the deceased, Knight Martin performed a church ceremony with an imaginary circle as rare and pious as covering a coffin board. That damned pagan distinction, finally awkwardly diverted to breast-massage.

"May their souls be whole." He turned to the fire, and called his helpers to work.Not many people came over, most of them were still yelling inaudible words, making subconscious curling and avoiding movements.

Kraft stood in front of the woodpile for a while, and then crushed the cluster of mushrooms again. There was no feedback of crushing, and there was a feeling of being forced into an empty space.

The color vision in front of my eyes is a little uncomfortable, as if it overlaps with highly transparent color spots, but these color spots do not move with the field of vision, but overlap with the position of the object image, like expanding soap bubbles sticking to the surface of the object, everywhere Yes, it seems that the whole body is crowded.

Rubbing his eyes, those afterimages faded a lot, and it was basically undetectable if he didn't pay attention.

He blinked to moisten his eyeballs, looked far and near to adjust the focus, trying to get rid of it.When looking at the woodpile, I accidentally found a piece of wood covered with plaques. It was inserted in a conspicuous position, and it had grown scale mushrooms, so it must not be able to burn.

How could such wood be stuffed in?This has to be replaced.Kraft pulled it out and wanted to throw it away, but suddenly found that the leather was rough, not as slippery as it looked.

There is a subtle conflict between vision and actual feel.

The throwing movement that had already been made stopped, and the eyes re-examined the piece of wood. The large stains became thicker again, with a hazy outline, and the soft and moist filling filled the sense of touch.

In his hand, he vaguely held a piece of rotten wood with mushroom umbrellas, and at the same time it was a piece of rough and dry firewood.

Kraft let go of it and let it fall freely, hitting the dense soil surface. However, the impact feedback was not as visually realistic as it seemed to be cushioned by a layer of sticky fluff.

He raised his foot and stomped it down again, the ground was as solid as before, and there were only broken branches and leaves under his feet.

【Illusion? 】

At the same time, he realized that the fluctuating sense of strangeness that had been bothering him since he stepped into the forest had dissipated at some point.The change vaguely occurred during the process of concentrating the body and mind to eliminate interference during the battle. If the original feeling was floating on the water and being beaten by the waves all the time, now it is a piece of tranquility.

In this piece of tranquility, he felt a kind of vitality everywhere.

He's been affected, and he's not alone.Kraft tensed his left arm, the muscles contracted naturally, and the strange feeling brought about by the embedded stone flakes was relieved abnormally, and the instinct of returning home relaxed.

【dust】

Mushroom dust was first suspected.What they cause is not purely physiological damage, but may also act as a medium, deepening the connection between the inhaler and the deep.

"Koop, do you feel dizzy?"

"It seems a little bit?" Kupp closed his eyes uncertainly and shook his head. Combined with the environment, he immediately understood Kraft's implication.

After flustered for a moment, he calmed down, repeating something silently and moved closer to Kraft.Judging from the shape of the mouth, it probably means "not moving blindly".

And Kraft's argument was falling into contradictions. He thought of the possible whereabouts of the missing subordinates. From this perspective, it seemed that everything could be connected in series.

They fall, and may even be dragged into the deep.But combining this with dust inhalation is an inescapable logical error.

[Why didn't people who inhale more disappear? 】

Those in the center of the dust, embraced by their boarding bodies, lie obediently in the pyre, waiting to be reduced to ashes.

This is completely contrary to conjecture.

Kraft lowered the torch and leaned closer to the dead man's face.He tried his best to open his mouth for breathing, his lips were cyanotic or even purple, and he was struggling fiercely.

They experience severe and rapidly fading wheezing, and collapse unconscious.I felt itching and discomfort in my throat after inhaling only a small amount. That thing is probably a very irritating spore powder mist, which constricts the airway and causes a large asthma-like ventilation disorder.

Furthermore, after the spore dust is inhaled into the lungs, it causes diffuse damage through a certain mechanism, and the blood gas exchange ability is impaired.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the true sense, I have never seen a more urgent one.If inhaled during strenuous exercise, you will lose your ability to exercise due to lack of oxygen in more than ten seconds, and the suffocation and death effect will be completed within a few minutes.

As a weapon, it is extremely tricky to carry creatures in the host body of fungi that can move, but as a medium...

【The dead cannot be pulled into the deep layer】

This leads to a condition that is not easy to achieve: you can't inhale too much, otherwise you won't be able to influence the spiritual body to pull people into the deep after death; you can't be too little, and the effect will be insufficient.

But after thinking about it, you will find that it is reasonable for them, relying on the simple concentration mechanism to pull some into the deep layer, leaving the other part of the dead body to be driven by the fungus boarding.Incredibly mature.
