My Zombie Girlfriend is a Little Weird

Chapter 298 297. I Just Suddenly Want to Eat Bullfrogs

So fast?

Although Qing Xizhuizi did say before, "Because of the experience of the last time, this time it will probably be very fast. The time is probably before noon", but it has only been about ten minutes so far, right?Even counting the time he spent talking with Zhu Xia after Qing Xizhuizi left, it would not exceed half an hour at most.

But maybe it is because of too much trust in things like "If it is Aoshishiko, then it will definitely be able to draw a conclusion", so that when seeing Aoshishiko gesture to him, Kamdai Hibiki subconsciously thinks that Aoki Shiiko It has been dissected and useful information has been obtained.

Although it might be possible to understand with just a few questions, Kamiyo Hibiki almost didn't think about anything when he saw it. He turned around and walked into the dissecting room.

He put the clean clothes in his hands on the chair beside him, then walked all the way to Qing Xizhuizi, subconsciously turned his head to look at the anatomy table, and saw that the corpse of the zombie had been cut open , All the intestines gushed out, and when I looked up, I could see that the zombie's head had also been pried open.

But other than that, there is nothing else. Compared with the corpse of the "Licker" who was placed on the autopsy table and had no time to clean up, the limbs, head, and body were all cut into five equal parts, that zombie corpse The degree of dissection looks more like just getting started.

This is almost completely opposite to what Kamyo Hibiki thought before that "Aoshijiko has been dissected and useful information has been obtained", so that he was stunned for a moment after seeing the corpse of the zombie, and then he took a look on his face. Confused, when he raised his head to look at Qing Xizhui——

"This thing is different from the one over there."

Qing Xizhuizi spoke like this.

Qing Xizhuizi almost went straight to the point, she first pointed at the corpse of the zombie in front of her, and then pointed at the corpse of the licker next to her, and said: "According to the results of our previous discussion, Humans infected by the virus will speed up their metabolism. If that part of the energy is not replenished, they will feel hungry and attack humans. If they cannot eat human beings and the vacant energy cannot be replenished, the whole body will The tissue will start to slowly fester."

This is something the two of them have discussed before, about why zombies attack humans, about why no one is attacking them, why there are still various rotten wounds all over the body.

The best example is that sister Ci who was still in the basement before. When Kamdai Hibiki went to the second basement of Senzhigaoka High School for the first time, the first thing he met and finally confirmed was that there was only Sister Ci is a zombie, and there are no other zombies around, so there will be no cannibalization of the same kind. Wakasa Yuri and the others don't even know where Sister Ci is. In the absence of any foreign enemies, Sister Ci's image at that time was still with the corner of her mouth sore chunky.

At that time, Hibiki did not pay attention to it, but the strange thing is that after he injected Cijie with the medicine and came back again after leaving for nearly a week, the festering wound on the corner of Cijie's mouth had already healed.

Although I don't know if Sister Ci ate something during the week he left, but the ulcer at the corner of the mouth at that time should be "Unless the vacant energy is replenished, the tissues of the whole body will begin to fester slowly." Performance.

but--

"However." Aoki Shiiko seemed to have guessed what Kamyo Kawa was thinking. The moment Kamyo Hibiki's doubts just surfaced, Aoka Shiko spoke again: "Theoretically speaking, if you always have to The final result is "aging, the skin becomes gray and bloodless, until it gradually falls off, exposing the muscle tissue." "

Saying this, Qing Xizhuizi stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpse of the licker.

Of course Hibiki knew what Aoshishiko was referring to, even if the licker was cut into so many pieces, he could still see clearly, not to mention that Aoshishiko seemed to be worried that he would not understand, so he took the initiative to walk up Before reaching out, he stretched out his hand to slightly close up the several pieces of the licker's body and stitch them together.

In this way, it can be seen more clearly, just like what Aoshi Shiiko said "aging, the skin becomes gray and bloodless, until it gradually falls off, exposing the muscle tissue." The evaluation of "the whole body is hairless, looks like a crested dog", but if you really want to describe it in absolute detail——

It's like a person whose whole body's skin has been peeled off.

To be precise, it should be the same. There is no skin covering the whole body of the licker, and all the muscle tissue can be seen with the naked eye. If I insist, it is to put the "medical human musculoskeletal model" into a frog This is what a licker looks like.

This kind of thing can be seen with the naked eye, so Hibiki nodded quickly, Aoshi Shiiko didn't waste any time seeing this, turned around and walked to the whiteboard on the side, and took off the medical glove on his right hand And picked up the pen, and said while writing on the whiteboard: "The reason why I say this is "theoretically" is because it needs to become "the skin is completely peeled off and the muscle tissue is exposed". It's going to be longer than we thought. "

Qing Xizhuizi, who was speaking like this, turned her head and wrote the word "Human" on the whiteboard in front of her, and then drew a vertical line under the two words, next to the vertical line was written " Virus", and then split the vertical line into two diagonal lines, drawing a human figure on one side and a bullfrog on the other.

Combining with what Aoshi Shiiko said before, Kamyo Hibiki could understand that the human-shaped pattern should refer to a zombie, but the bullfrog pattern made Kamyo Hibiki puzzled for a long time, and finally he remembered what was written on the note board before Aoshi Shieko When the stick figure finally realized that the bullfrog should actually be a licker, Hibiki almost laughed out loud.

But when I saw Qing Xizhuizi, I didn't seem to be aware of this at all, and Qing Xizhuizi is the kind of person with strong self-esteem. I always feel that if I say it, Qing Xizhuizi will be out of breath, so I can only bear it. Smiling, he looked at Qing Xizhui and nodded.

In the end, I don't know if the expression of suppressed laughter was too awkward, but Qing Xizhuizi lowered his eyes, tapped the whiteboard with the pen in his hand, and said, "Have you eaten something bad?"

"No." Hibiki was still holding back a smile, but he found an excuse: "I just want to eat bullfrogs all of a sudden."

Even if Kamidai Hibiki can talk nonsense in a serious manner, so can Aoji Shiiko. I don't know if the two of them are too similar, or because they are already familiar with each other, Aoki Shiiko understood that Kamidai Hibiki was lying almost instantly.

PS1: Go to biochemical 2 to get the material, don't read it.

Section 299 298. The correct evolutionary line and its branches

But maybe such a lie is harmless and has no effect on the things discussed now. Even if Qing Xizhuizi noticed it, he just glanced at Shendai Hibiki for a few seconds and then stopped paying attention.

"The reason for using the word 'theoretically' is that other surprises are bound to happen before the desired result is achieved. "Qing Xizhui continued to talk about the previous topic. She never used such words as "absolutely" and "certainly" about what would become of a zombie that did not receive energy supplements, but kept repeating " Theory": "We previously thought that without energy supplementation, those guys would "slowly fester and age, the skin becomes gray and bloodless, until it gradually falls off, exposing the muscle tissue ", but this change is not as fast as we thought. The best evidence is that those guys walking on the street now still look like ghosts, not like bullfrogs that have been skinned . "

Hearing Aoshishiko say the word "bullfrog" out of his mouth, Jindai subconsciously let out an "ah" in his heart. It is not known whether Aoshishiko had already noticed it, or it was just unintentional.

However, seeing that Aoshishiko didn't seem to have any plans to get too entangled in the word "bullfrog", Hibiki just nodded and replied, "So you mean that the lickers are not actually Does it fit your previous theoretical explanation?"

Hibiki Kojiro didn't realize it at first, but when he finished speaking and saw Aoji Shiiko staring at him with doubts, Hibiki Kojiro suddenly realized that he seemed to subconsciously refer to the word "Licker" The name that should exist now is spoken.

I don't know if it's because I have trusted Qing Xizhui in my heart, but I subconsciously think that Qing Xizhui is a person worthy of entrusting all the information, or because I have been too comfortable recently and let down my vigilance, considering my once cautious personality , Hibiki's mistake this time was too inappropriate.

I don’t know what Qing Xi Zhuizi is thinking now, but it’s still feasible to pretend to be stupid and perfunctory, but it’s like repaying trust, Qing Xi Zhui Zi didn’t ask anything, just showed a thoughtful expression After muttering, "Is that thing called a licker?", he turned around and picked up a pen, and wrote the words "licker" next to the bullfrog pattern on the whiteboard behind him.

After finishing all this, Aoshi Shiiko just turned his head to look at Kamyo Hibiki, and then said: "Yes, in theory, even if those guys can finally turn into the appearance of a bullfrog whose whole body has been skinned, and thus become For the lickers, it shouldn't be now."

He didn't ask anything, and just used the name "Licker" directly, as if saying "Since you said that thing is called a licker, then call it that."

Kamidai Hibiki is very aware of Aoji Shiiko, after all, from the beginning of mutual distrust and mutual testing, to now exchanging all information to jointly study this information, with their overly cautious personalities, it is possible to be like this To accept without questioning at all or even without paying attention to it is impossible to achieve if it is not for excessive trust.

And this kind of unconditional trust, on the contrary, made Kamyo Hibiki, who was going to pretend to be a fool to deal with the past, couldn't hold back and sighed because of this, saying: "It's really heavy..."

"Is it heavy?"

Aoshi Shiiko seemed to know what Hibiki was thinking and what he was referring to. She didn't care about the "heavy sense of trust" that Hibiki said, but after asking a question like this, she reached out and picked up the cigarette case beside her. , After pulling out one from the inside and biting it in his mouth, he threw the cigarette box at Hibiki again.

When Kamyo Hibiki reached out to take it, and looked at the box with more than half of the cigarettes left, he raised his head and saw Aoshi Shiko taking out a lighter and lighting the cigarette in his mouth, and after taking a breath of smoke, he looked at He said: "It will neither crush you nor give you a burden. Even if it is too heavy, I will bear it together. What are you worried about?"

You are not just referring to the issue of trust anymore, are you?

Kamyo Hibiki noticed that Aoki Shiiko's words also pointed to other things, although Kamyo Hibiki didn't mention it, but Aoki Shiko is really strong, in a sense.

So in the end, Hibiki just took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, bit it in his mouth, lit it, and breathed out the smoke, then said directly: "Without eating and not being able to replenish energy, the whole body is festering and the skin is falling off. , and finally turned into a licker like a skinned bullfrog, but the licker was produced precisely because it was fed and its energy was replenished, so this made the original speculation conflict."

"Yes." Qing Xizhuizi didn't dwell on the topic before, she didn't even mention it again, she just replied like that: "The ulceration and skin peeling are due to the accelerated metabolism and lack of energy. It is produced under the double effect of supplementation, but once the food is eaten and the energy is supplemented, the ulceration and skin exfoliation should stop immediately, and even recover."

Therefore, if it really evolves according to the normal route, then the final product should be a monster that is completely indistinguishable from a human being, but possesses "loss of pain sensation", "unknown to cold or warm", and "strength and speed far exceeding normal human beings". right.

Yes, so it went around and came back again. The human beings infected by the virus should end up turning into super-soldier-like monsters like Hibiki Kindai and Zhu Xia Godji.

Without consciousness, it can be controlled very well, without pain, so it can not be afraid of danger, and it can fight in various harsh environments because of the loss of pain sensation. "Virus infection" is used to make it, which can make mass production possible. This may be the original intention of this virus.

No matter how outrageous the evolution is, it will become like a walnut. Stronger strength, faster speed, and accelerated metabolism to the extreme will heal the wounds visible to the naked eye. Whether it is strong or not, it needs to be improved again, but this is enough to be called BOW.

Therefore, if it is not specially cultivated, it should be impossible for a licker to eat, but completely shed the skin of the whole body, and possess the strength and speed that humans cannot achieve.

PS1: BOW=Bio Organic Weapon=organic biological weapon.

PS2: I have considered for a long time how to explain this kind of setting without looking too watery, but after reducing it, it will appear that various settings are crowded together and it takes a long time to understand, so I finally decided to use this method.

PS3: This chapter almost explains the evolution line of the zombies. The last few paragraphs refer to the process of the generation of the tyrant and the role of the virus when it was first developed.

PS4: The reason why I have been emphasizing the word "theoretical" is because in terms of the plot, Hibiki and Aoji Shiiko are now making speculations and judgments based on existing clues, rather than drawing conclusions from the perspective of God , so this has been emphasized.

Chapter 300 299. The information that seems to have been ignored is the key

That's right, it's already very clear when it comes to this point, and Qing Xizhuizi has turned around and started drawing on the whiteboard with a pen.

If lickers are artificially bred, then all the previous discussions are of no value.

But if the licker was born naturally, then it should not have existed, but it was still born, then the only possible explanation is that under the normal evolutionary line, a "mutated" branch such as the licker appeared .

And what is the probability of this branch?There is actually no need to discuss this point, because even if it is a possibility of one percent, one thousandth, one ten thousandth, or even one hundred millionth, in this city, the whole city, the whole country, and even the whole world, the possibility is measured in billions. It is entirely possible for lickers to be born under the large-scale infection.

Judging from the data alone, it is actually hopeless, because lickers will still be born, and this is not the only special case, and they can't stop them at all.

But if you look at the actual situation in reality, this is fortunate, because everything they discussed and tested here is for the safety of the rest of the people. Even if the zombies swarm, they will follow This can be remedied without the premise of banging on the door, going up the stairs, smashing the door, etc.

But if a dozen or even hundreds of lickers swarm up, all means of protection will be useless. They are fast, can climb walls and even attack from a distance. not coming back.

Therefore, if it can be determined that the birth of lickers is not inevitable, but only the mutation of individual individuals, then firstly, the number of possible lickers will be greatly reduced, and secondly, even if the lickers are full and have nothing to do To attack them, the small number of individuals can be dealt with.

However, it is still better to take some remedial measures, such as building roadblocks, installing iron windows, etc., but for safety, at least one or two people should stay with them. There are still many ordinary humans, with 7 People, but fortunately, if it is abnormal and Qing Xizhuizi is added, there are also 5 people, and it is still very easy to allocate.

When Kamyo Hibiki was thinking this way in his heart, Aoshi Shiko over there had already drawn the evolution line from humans to zombies and their branches on the whiteboard. If nothing else, then this evolution line is The end result.

When Kamdai Hibiki thought that this matter had almost come to an end, Aoshi Zhuiko turned back, but looked at him in silence for a few seconds, and then took a puff of cigarette before opening his mouth and said: "About, the matter of Walnut's right hand .”

Aoki Shiiko spoke like this, her silence just now seemed to be thinking about how to explain to Kamyo Hibiki, and Kamyo Hibiki was attracted by her words, and naturally noticed Aoji Vertebra's hesitation.

So Kamyo Hibiki, who knew that he needed to express his attitude now, nodded and said, "Well, I also want to know about this matter, is there any progress?"

These words made Qing Xizhuizi watch Shendai in silence again. After a few seconds, she exhaled a puff of smoke, turned her head, and walked to the understanding platform.

"When I dissected these two corpses, I found that they both had black substances in their bodies." Qing Xizhuizi put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray beside him, and then put on medical gloves to separate the corpses of the zombies. And the corpse of the licker was pushed away, and after showing the situation in his stomach to Kamyo Kyoko, Aoshi Shiiko spoke again: "Since you have investigated it before, you should know, these two corpses are not special case."

Just as Aoshi Shiiko said, Hibiki Kamdai knew this.

In the zombie corpses he had dissected before, there was a layer of black substance on the inner wall, internal organs, and even the bones. Although there were not many of them, it actually looked a little gray, but if you investigate carefully, you will find Those black substances are not attached, but penetrated.

It can't be scraped off with a knife, even if the bone is broken, you can see the inside of the bone. Hibiki Shindai regarded it as a visible product of the virus before, so seeing Aoichi Zhuizi take the initiative to mention this matter, Hibiki Shindai Then he also nodded, waiting for Qing Xizhuizi to continue.

And Qing Xizhuizi didn't give a damn, and said again directly: "Although this black substance is not so much that it completely blackens the body of this corpse, it can still be seen with the naked eye. I originally thought it was a virus entering the body. The degree of visibility formed after reaching the body, but—”

While talking, Qing Xizhuizi took a scalpel and cut open the hand of the licker's corpse, although it could no longer be called a hand, but should be called a claw.

Qing Xizhuizi cut off the licker's paw completely as if picking a boneless chicken claw, and turned his head to signal to Hibiki Shindai. Inside the paw, it was almost completely blackened.

When Shendai was taken aback by this, Aoichi Zhuiko said: "But when I dissected this licker, I found that the distribution of this black substance was uneven. The hands and feet of this licker The inside is completely black, but the rest of the place is not."

The hands and feet of the licker have completely mutated into the shape of claws.

Even if Aoji Shiko didn't give a definite explanation, Kamyo Hibiki almost guessed it, and Aoki Shiko, as if in contrast, turned his head again and pointed the scalpel in his hand at the other zombie corpse, and said, "Then A corpse, the place where the black matter gathers is the leg."

And was this zombie able to run before?

What Aoji Shiiko wanted to say, Kamidai Hibiki probably already understood, if this black substance is the visible product of the virus, then where the more it gathers, where will it mutate?

The licker's hands and feet gathered so much that they turned into claws, and the zombie's legs gathered so much that it was able to run——

Thinking of this, Jindai Hibiki was taken aback for a moment, he suddenly realized something, and then he lowered his eyes, looked at Aoshi Zhuizi and said, "So you mean... the black substance attached to the right hand of the walnut, and the licker's Claws are the same?"

Before, Hu Tao couldn't use his right hand and right foot and could hardly move. Now that he can move freely, it is covered with a layer of black substance.

If this layer of black substance is the same as the black substance in the licker's paw, then it can explain why Walnut's body suddenly recovered.

Well, if that's the case——

Walnuts have actually begun to mutate.

PS1: By the way, I’m actually thinking about whether to make a few wrong guesses on purpose, and then have an expansion like “Ah, could our previous guesses be wrong” in the future plot, after all, all the way is correct It always feels a bit unrealistic to speculate that there is no deviation.

PS2: I'm still playing Resident Evil 2, don't worry about it.
