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 body". So what is happening now is that the combat troops brought the experimental body back.
To be honest, the two of them were also curious about what that experimental subject was.
But the next moment they were all stunned, and saw a multi-layered reinforced steel cage being lifted over, and a gray... person lay impressively inside!
That gray color was not the person's original skin color, but the color presented by the mixed dust and mud sticking to the skin.
Liu Bu looked at the man in the cage in amazement. The man was shot several times, but there was no blood flow out from the muzzle of the gun. It seemed that the moment the bullet entered the body, they controlled the skin and muscles and closed the mouth. own wounds.
This is unimaginable for ordinary people, because everyone cannot fully control their own bodies.
And the gray figure's arms and legs were all chained!
The iron chain was originally used to imprison this person somewhere, but he broke it. So the sound of iron chains that Liu Bu and the others heard that night came from this person
At this moment, Liu Bu thought of Xu Xia's broken corpse, including the human tooth marks on the corpse, and he immediately vomited. Xu Xianchu didn't believe it when they said that the person who bit Xu Xia's corpse was a human, but now he couldn't help it.
The huge sense of fear and nausea seemed to hold Liu Bu's stomach with his big hands, squeezing out everything in 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 great interest: "It seems that you also know something about it, have you seen the corpse it bitten?"
Luo Xinyu's reaction at this time was stronger than Liu Bu's. She seemed to have calmed down and asked, "What the hell is this..."
"Since they are called experimental subjects, they are of course used for experiments," Qing Zhen said, "Don't get me wrong, this thing has nothing to do with our Qing family, they are products before the catastrophe, and we are also recent know they exist.”
"Before the catastrophe?" Luo Xinyu seemed a little shocked: "How long has it been since before the catastrophe? Can they live so long? Wait, you said they'..."
At this moment, Luo Xinyu suddenly realized that there might be more than one ghost!
Qing Zhen looked carefully at the "person" in the cage, and said, "They seem to have just recently broken free from the confinement of the laboratory, even I am curious about how they survived until now, this is a living specimen. "
Liu Bu shuddered, this Qing Zhen actually regarded a living person as a specimen, even though that person was no longer human or ghost.
Suddenly, Luo Xinyu realized why the Qing Consortium came here in this mountain. They even mobilized a lot of engineering equipment, and did not hesitate to waste manpower and material resources, just to find the laboratory that once imprisoned these ghosts!
When they realized that there was more than one experimental body, they also realized why the combat troops immediately called for support when they encountered the experimental body.
This is worried that it still has its kind nearby!
"How many experimental subjects did you encounter just now, and how many casualties were there when you captured him?" Qing Zhen asked.
Someone on the side said: "I only encountered this one, mobilized 5 combat teams, 3 dead and 13 injured."
Qing Zhen shook his head: "Catching one experimental subject is enough, and if we encounter it later, we can kill it regardless of life or death. Don't increase the casualties."
"Understood," replied an officer from a consortium combat unit.
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.
It's just that she was a little puzzled: "It's been hundreds of years since the catastrophe, why are they still alive?"
This is the most incomprehensible thing. The lifespan of a normal human being is only a few decades, and a little more than a hundred years. If the experimental subjects were products before the catastrophe, how did they survive in the underground laboratory until now? This is unreasonable!
Even if the lifespan can be extended, what do these experimental subjects eat in the underground laboratory
Qing Zhen stood in front of the cage and said with a smile: "Isn't it because of this secret that I want to catch them? For example, multicellular organisms like humans use cell division as the basis for growth and reproduction. It stands to reason that cell division It should be infinite. After all, if you can divide the first time, you can divide the second time or even more, but the strange thing is that all human cells stop abruptly when they divide an average of fifty times, and then go to an irreversible decline."
This is the origin of human aging and death. When the cells divide about fifty times, the cells will stop dividing, and then the human organs will fail until they die.
Qing Zhen looked at the man in the cage and continued: "I suspect that this laboratory may have mastered the method of making cells divide infinitely, so as to improve the metabolic cycle and lifespan of the human body. But they did not expect that the price of doing so would be What."
Qing Zhen called the creatures in this cage human ghosts, neither human nor ghost. In his opinion, these human ghosts have completely lost their sanity as humans, and those with degraded IQ are not much different from beasts.
But compared to their IQs, the physical strength and agility of these human ghosts are far superior to normal humans, and even wild beasts cannot match them.
Moreover, wild beasts obey 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 received four or five gunshot wounds woke up again. He suddenly bent up and hit the steel cage, as if he wanted to smash the cage with brute force!
In the end, the cage seemed to be specially made by the Qing Consortium. No matter how he hit it, the cage was only slightly deformed but it was never broken by him.
The experimental subject gradually stopped trying, but stared fiercely at Qing Zhen in front of him. At this time, Luo Xinyu and the others discovered that no matter how fiercely the experimental subject struggled just now, Qing Zhen was as calm as a sculpture, and he had never been out of fear. And took a step back.
Qing Zhen threw a pistol out of bullets and threw it into the cage. As a result, the experimental subject bit the gun body with one bite, and forcibly crushed the steel gun!
Qing Zhen looked at the subject, and he suddenly said: "Records, evolution of teeth, narrow pupils, habit of crawling, no longer belong to the category of human beings, it is suspected to be the product of gene editing. This laboratory is suspected to be the secret of Tinder Company before the catastrophe. Experimental base."
Immediately someone nearby took out a pen and paper and recorded Qing Zhen's words intact. In contrast to Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu's astonishment, the others seemed to have gotten used to Qing Zhen's composure.
