"These are the plants I saw in the forest that I listed just now." Gu Qingqing's tone of voice and actions have a strong student spirit. As if explaining a Chinese question to everyone, she points the contents of the notebook with the tip of her pen. , said one by one, "Cycads, tropical, subtropical, and temperate, can grow, but more in the tropics; Araucaria, tropical plants; Butterfly trees, tropical rainforest plants; Oil palms, tropical plants; Bananas, heliconias, sunflowers, fishtails, etc., tropical plants; firs, mostly found in cold regions; yellow-flowered larch, boreal plants; oak trees, boreal plants; and willows that you find in forests, Most of them are produced in temperate and frigid zones, and very few in the tropics. And the plants I circled later should all grow in the frigid zone, sub-arctic zone or temperate zone.”
Having said this, Gu Qingqing looked at everyone with an incredible expression: "This is impossible... I mean, this is not in line with the laws of nature, tropical plants and frigid plants grow in the same area, if this forest is artificially planted The words barely make sense, but it is obviously a natural wild forest, how can these tree species that should be born in different temperature zones appear here at the same time?"
These words made everyone look at her face with a strange look, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, pinched a glasses leg beside his ear, hesitantly said: "Why... Is there something wrong with me? ?"
"No, you said it very well, this is indeed a very suspicious question." Shao Ling said, "We are just lamenting the reasoning that Mu made before entering the painting."
"Uh... May I ask what it is?" Gu Qingqing has the energy of a good student to ask questions and learn hard.
"Every painting, the promoters behind the painting seem to be deliberately selecting some suitable artists for the painting," Shao Ling looked at Gu Qingqing with a profound gaze, "Obviously, for this painting, you may That's the right person."
"I... I don't quite understand..." Gu Qingqing was frightened by this statement, her face paled slightly.
"This question will be discussed with you after we leave the painting. Now let's talk about the clue you discovered," Shao Ling said, "I think this is indeed a very important discovery. This kind of discovery that violates the laws of nature. This phenomenon may explain the question Fang Fei raised just now: Why did this forest become part of the main body of the painting? Obviously, the disordered state of the vegetation in it is a clue."
"What can that prove?" Wei Dong said, "Plants have mutated?—Fuck, does that also prove that the humans who died in the 'blood case' have also mutated and turned into zombies or something, which is reflected in plants The above, it is manifested as this kind of random growth that goes against natural logic?"
"I think what Brother Dong said is reliable." Luo Meng nodded again and again.
"Where's He Tang?" Ke Xun looked at He Tang, who had been silent, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Well..." He Tang raised her eyes to look at Ke Xun, she knew that this man has a very delicate heart, but she didn't expect him to be so sensitive to subtle changes in others, she nodded and said, "I feel very uncomfortable, but this kind of I'm uncomfortable... I'm afraid everyone will think I'm making a big fuss when I say it. When this is important, don't worry about me for now... "
"What's wrong?" It was Mu Yiran who asked the question. He looked over with calm and cool eyes, making He Tang dare not avoid any of his questions.
"Just... dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and my heart is not very comfortable," He Tang took a deep breath, "and also very irritable, with an inexplicable feeling of panic."
"Has this situation happened before?" Mu Yiran asked again.
He Tang thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Yes, I also had this uncomfortable feeling when our orchestra performed before, maybe three or four times."
"Not counting this time, what about after the three or four times?" Mu Yiran continued to ask.
"The last time I was really uncomfortable, I told the group leader that I didn't want to perform in that theater anymore," He Tang was a little embarrassed and a little scared, "By the way, we performed in the same theater three or four times. Everyone in the troupe joked that I didn't fit in with that theater. Why are other people okay, I always feel unwell in that theater... Later, I didn't perform in that theater again, and this situation didn't happen again. Shouldn't it be? Could it be... there's something bad about that theater?"
"You said you would feel particularly irritable?" Mu Yi looked at her.
He Tang nodded: "Yes, I'm restless. I don't know how this situation came about. Sometimes I'm in a good mood, but after I entered that theater and started playing, I started to become restless soon after."
"I have a guess," Mu Yiran looked away from her face and swept to every corner of the room and the scenery outside the window, "Is your hearing very good?" He still asked He Tang.
He Tang was a little surprised, but nodded quickly: "Yes, my hearing is the best in our group, it may be related to my music study, even if it is a vague symphony, I can accurately distinguish the music in it. Every instrument."
"What's the lowest frequency you can hear, have you measured it?" Mu Yiran's eyes fell back to her face.
"No..." He Tang hesitated for a while, "But when you ask this question, I remember that I can often hear some noises that others can't hear. Whenever I hear these noises and ask people around me if they hear them, They always didn't hear anything, and I always suspected that it was my tinnitus or auditory hallucinations or something."
"Then my guess is probably half right," Mu Yiran looked at the knowledge-seeking gazes cast on him by the crowd, "He Tang is rare, and can hear or feel more sensitively than ordinary people. to infrasonic people."
"Brother-in-law, what is infrasound?" Luo Xue asked on behalf of the scumbag group.
"The range of sound frequencies that the human ear can hear is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz," Mu Yiran said. "Among them, 20 to 200 Hz is low frequency noise, 500 to 2000 Hz is medium frequency, and 2000 to 16,000 is high frequency. Frequency. Above 20,000 Hz is ultrasonic, and below 20 Hz, it is called infrasound.
"Among the common animals, only dogs, elephants, whales and jellyfish can hear infrasound waves, and according to common sense, humans cannot hear infrasound waves. 'Strange' person, maybe she is not hearing now, but more sensitive to infrasound than the rest of us, and more likely, this is an exaggerated rendering method of 'painting', so that He Tang, who has better ear than normal people, can hear it. Here comes the infrasound.
"Some infrasound waves can be highly harmful to the human body, and their vibration frequency is similar to or even the same as the vibration frequency of the internal organs of the human body, which will cause a strong resonance with the human body's organs, resulting in serious damage.
"Infrasound waves can interfere with the human nervous system. The dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and restlessness that He Tang feels are caused by infrasound waves. In severe cases, it can cause deafness, coma, and even death.
"I think He Tang is more sensitive to infrasound waves than ordinary people. When playing music in places like the theater, the sound from the musical instrument mixes with the echoes caused by the structure of the theater, and it is possible to generate infrasound waves. Tang always felt unwell in the same theater.
"Then going back to this painting, He Tang's body will have an uncomfortable reaction, which proves that there is something in this place that is emitting infrasound waves."
This remark made everyone stunned.
"This...something could be emitting infrasound waves?" Luo Meng hugged himself tightly, but he felt hot, so he had to let go of his arms, "Could it be...something that is invisible in these houses?"
"Don't scare yourself," Ke Xun said to him, then turned to look at He Tang, "Where do you feel the strongest? In this residential area, or when we entered the forest before?"
"...It's all the same," He Tang felt carefully, "The two places give me the same feeling."
"This may be more troublesome." Wei Dong said, "In addition to the problem of water shortage, the possibility of zombie attacks, and the lack of medical care after getting sick, there is another problem of infrasound damage. I feel that this painting is quite difficult. Unlike the previous paintings, although the rules of death are superimposed, at least it does not break away from a large frame. However, in this painting, there are too many elements that can kill us, and we still have not been able to solve them. How exactly do these questions relate to the topic of 'reboot'."
"Perhaps," Zhu Haowen said lightly, "this time we still have to pass death to get more clues."
This sentence made everyone's heart sink.
"I'm going to see how Xiao Kai is doing." Ke Xun got up and walked to the living room.
When it comes to death, Xiao Kai, who is now in distressed health, seems to be the closest to death.
Pushing open the door, Qin Ci and Tian Yang were still wiping Xiao Kai's body with alcohol.
"It's not over yet? Can you help me?" Ke Xun asked.
Qin Ci shook his head: "Don't come in, finish it right away."
Ke Xun closed the door and walked back to the central hall. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said, "The situation is not very good." Then he sat back next to Mu Yiran and asked him, "Do you think Xiao Kai is in this situation? Is it also caused by infrasound waves?"
"I can't say for sure, but I can't deny the possibility." Mu Yi said.
"Then maybe, the first rule of death for this painting is the sensitivity to infrasound waves?" Shao Ling said.
"Mr. Shao, you're scaring the girl." Ke Xun glanced at He Tang, whose face paled from fright.
"Sorry," Shao Ling said to He Tang, "We just can't let go of any possibility. So, is there any way to resist this kind of infrasound wave?"
"There is no way," Mu Yiran's answer made He Tang's face even paler, "Infrasound has a very strong penetrating power, and can penetrate reinforced concrete buildings, tanks, warships, submarines and aircraft, so certain Some countries have been studying the use of infrasound as a weapon of war because of its super penetrating power and large-scale destruction and lethality."
"If infrasound is the condition of death, then we can't hide no matter where we hide," Zhu Haowen said, "and if the order of death is based on the sensitivity to infrasound, it doesn't seem to make sense, after all, most of us are Ordinary people can't hear infrasound waves, and when they can feel it, everyone may be recruited at the same time, so why not give us a way to survive, we may be wiped out on the first night."
"And, don't forget, there may be zombies in this place," Wei Dong said. "If there are zombies surrounded by zombies in all directions at night, then we have to think of a way to plan ahead."
"Let's find a sturdy house and block all the doors and windows?" Luo Meng said hurriedly.
"To tell you the truth, I don't think the house is safe," Ke Xun said. "I always feel that there is something in the house."
