The treadmill subconsciously touched the bulkhead beside him, but wherever his hand touched, it was all fleshy and sticky. He didn't know what kind of mess he touched.
"Help!" The treadmill shouted loudly, feeling extremely panic and despair.
…
"Are they not awake yet?" Liu Qian walked back to the central hall and asked Yinhe after throwing the body of the last black-spotted zombie out of the open porthole.
The airship was still at the dock at this time, with dozens of chains firmly locking it and not floating into the ocean.
"No." Yinhe shook her head and looked at the more than ten team members sleeping in sleeping bags on the ground. No matter what method she used, she could not wake them up.
"It's strange. These black-spotted zombies hiding in the airship should have been killed and thrown into the sea. Why haven't they woke up yet?" Liu Qian fell into deep thought.
"I suspect that it was not these black-spotted zombies that attacked them, but a more powerful being hiding under the sea. It was at least an advanced sea beast, possibly near the airship. I can feel the presence in the nearby underwater world. , hiding many very powerful threats." Yinghe speculated a few words.
"I think so too. It should be a spiritual advanced sea beast that attacked them. The black-spotted zombies hidden in the airship are just the younger brothers of that advanced sea beast." Liu Qian nodded.
"What should we do now?" Yinhe asked Liu Gan.
"The rain outside is much lighter now. I'll try to get them all to the shore. Try my best to stay away from this airship and away from the attack on the bottom of the sea." Liu Qian walked over and checked the contents of the sleeping bag again. Every team member.
At this time, the breathing and heartbeat of these team members were still normal, but their faces were extremely pale and filled with various emotions such as panic or anger. Some of the team members' eyes were moving crazily, and they were obviously still trapped in some evil situation. Unable to wake up from the dream, no matter how Liu Gan shouted or shook their bodies, they had no reaction.
Yinhe discovered that the ship's hull was shaking violently, and Han Guangming, who was on night duty, fell asleep at some point because he was too tired. When there was no response to the shaking of the ship's hull, I realized that something was not normal. She immediately woke Liu Gan up according to Liu Gan's instructions. But no matter what they did after that, they couldn't wake up the other team members from their sleep.
Obviously, the team members in the airship were subjected to some kind of hallucinogenic attack, or a dream-like attack from an advanced sea beast, which hypnotized them and made them trapped in a dream from which they could not wake up.
Liu Qian and Yinhe's guesses were correct. Some black-spotted zombies hid in the hull pipes during the day, and there was an advanced sea beast clinging to the bottom of the airship. Under the control of a huge nightmare jellyfish, they emerged from their respective hiding places and gathered in the atrium to try to capture the team members who were trapped in a dream and could not wake up.
This is how they used to leave the team members who were left in the camp by the leader in black. They quietly grabbed the airship from their sleep and threw it into the arms of the nightmare jellyfish, turning the souls of those team members into nightmares. The food of the jellyfish, the body became one of them black-spotted zombies.
But this time, with Yinhe guarding Liu Gan and all the team members, the nightmare jellyfish failed to succeed. The black-spotted zombies that it had arranged to hide in various tubes of the airship all died in the hands of Yinhe and Liu Qian. Without the help of these black-spotted zombies, the Nightmare Jellyfish does not have the ability to obtain the souls of these team members from a distance as food, except for clinging to the bottom of the airship and continuing to trap the souls of the team members with the dreams it creates.
Galaxy has been awake from beginning to end. Moreover, her special body structure prevents her from being troubled by dream attacks; Liu Gan was only briefly pulled into the dream of the evil jellyfish, but he himself was of a higher level. The extent of being attacked by dreams is lighter than other team members, and he wakes up easily with Galaxy's help.
After being attacked by nightmare jellyfish, all the team members were trapped in the same nightmare dream. Due to his own strength, Liu Gan escaped with the help of Galaxy just after being trapped. The Liu Gan who appeared in the dream It is a product of the collective consciousness of all team members. The virtual Liu Gan generated in this collective dream gathers all the team members' imaginations about him, and their consciousness extracts their respective memory fragments to materialize him, and even possesses it. Temporary personality and thinking ability.
But he's not really Liu Gan. So when Huang Weitao turned the mirror to Liu Qian and Han Guangming, he only saw Han Guangming in the mirror. Liu Gan was not seen, which gave Huang Weitao a creepy feeling.
A person who cannot be seen in the mirror is far more frightening than a zombie with black spots on his face, because it is easy to think of ghosts and the like, so Huang Weitao's first reaction was to put the treadmill on He pulled it back to avoid exposing the secret of the mirror and being targeted by the ghost pretending to be Mr. Liu.
Later, Treadmill did not see Liu Qian on the glass wall of the communication room for the same reason, because Liu Qian was just a virtual image produced by everyone's collective consciousness in the dream.
Through the daily brainwashing of Zhang Shengli and others, Master Liu has gained supreme prestige in the hearts of all the team members. Even in a dream where Liu Gan did not exist, they all dreamed of him and materialized him. , becoming a symbol of prestige and justice.
Yinhe usually only stays by Liu Qian's side, or hides in the dark, barely talking or communicating with anyone. She has not been pulled into dreams, and it is not surprising that she does not appear in the collective consciousness.
Zhang Shengli's voice in the communication room and the conversation between virtual Liu Qian and Zhang Shengli are of course just the imagination of the team members' nightmares, a kind of self-consolation.
Zhou Jingjing's rape was a hallucination she imagined when she was attacked by nightmare jellyfish. The injuries on her face and the stains on her clothes were naturally her own imagination. But in dreams, imagination is reality, and she was the only one in the bathroom at that time, so the environment of the bathroom was also transformed by her imagination.
When your will is not strong enough, your personality is fragile, and you feel helpless and scared, your soul is most vulnerable to attack and you will be trapped deeper in nightmares.
Zhou Jingjing was convinced that she had been raped by the treadmill. The nightmare-like experience made her excessively frightened and extremely frightened, and her soul became weak because of it. Once her soul was so weak that she fell completely into the nightmare of nightmare jellyfish. , there is no difference between her and those black-spotted zombies who have lost their consciousness.
