Chapter 751 Eukaryotic Creatures
"Come here, I'm here!"
There is nothing new about the rush of the underground river, and there is nothing special about it that makes people care.
But after the support team successfully crossed the underground river.
It didn't take long for someone to notice the human activity in the perception.
While calling other companions to come, the tone of the first discoverer was trembling and excited, as if he had encountered something incredible.
"Where are the people on your side?"
"Come here!"
Members of the support team gathered together, and a chilling scene was before their eyes.
Almost close to the edge of the underground river, a man with only the upper half of his body lying on the ground. The miserable-looking man seemed to be preparing to escape from behind, so his posture was like crawling forward.
It's a pity... His strength doesn't seem to be enough to support the subsequent movements.
After reaching out to the underground river in front of him with one hand, he no longer had the extra strength to continue running away, and even stopped there, constantly aware of the terrible feeling of life disappearing from his body.
"..."
"Yes, is it Johnny?"
The people at the camp seemed to recognize this half of the body.
Someone had the courage to step forward and turn the prone man over. As a result, the position that was originally blocked was revealed. The following scene made people feel even more horrified.
The wound on the man's waist was covered with a layer of squirming milky white paste-like substance. Although it was not obvious, if one had Ronald's level of vision, one could see that this substance was eating away at the man's body.
In other words -
the man who fell to the ground was not violently chopped in half.
Instead, the white substance continued to erode the body, and eventually the lower half of the body was eaten!
"Johnny... Johnny...?"
At the same time, someone in the camp also recognized the man's identity.
He bent down and planned to try to wake the other person up.
"Get out of the way, this is dangerous!"
Of course Ronald would not watch ordinary people go up and ask for trouble.
He ducked out of the crowd, and while pulling the guy away, he winked at Costa:
"Crawford, check."
"Yes, sir."
The maid is not human in nature and is best suited to handle this kind of situation. Work.
In response to Ronald's order, the inspection of half of the body immediately began.
At this time, the man who was pulled away by Ronald realized
what he was doing: "You... what are you doing? Johnny is dying, please help!"
Dawn stood up directly at this moment:
" Please don't disturb them."
"These two are actually experts in underground environment and biological research that I specially invited. When faced with some very rare situations and creatures, their judgments are absolutely correct." Dawn said
briefly The explanation is full of loopholes.
But fortunately, the people sent from the camp were not professionals, so they were actually frightened by Dawn's words.
On the other side, Dawn opened her mouth to confirm Ronald's identity.
Megan also immediately followed:
"Okay, leave it to these two."
"No matter in any action, trusting your companions is the absolute basis."
"..."
The leaders of the two sides spoke at the same time, and the team Naturally, no one here will continue to raise objections.
In absolute silence.
With Kostat's outstanding ability, the test results were naturally obtained quickly.
"Sir, this entity of white matter is a swarm of eukaryotic organisms. As you can see, they are devouring this human body while also releasing a substance that paralyzes the victim's nervous system to ensure that it does not Die immediately."
Ronald frowned.
This place is quite far away from the Yuez Forest, and the actual location doesn't match up.
Therefore, this creature is definitely not a creation of the "Organic Encyclopedia".
It's the stuff that the descendants of the Nigar people have toyed with in this ruins.
Maybe it was something they used magic to create.
Thinking about the question in his mind, Ronald asked at the same time:
"Can people be saved?"
Costat immediately replied:
"While this kind of creature devours human bodies, it is also an important factor in ensuring human survival. If it is removed from the victim If it is eliminated from the victim, the victim will undergo an irreversible death process." "
..."
Ronald did not control the volume when talking to Costart.
The terrifying reality was combined with Ronald's solemn inquiry and Costart's tone of voice without any waves from beginning to end.
Everyone present.
They all realized the fact before them - this man was dead.
And next.
They must also face this cruel thing.
Crash, clatter -
in the dark underground, the river was rushing into deeper darkness in front of them. The entire team seemed to be infected by a certain atmosphere, so that no one spoke at the moment.
This atmosphere was not good -
Ronald realized the spread of this bad atmosphere and immediately tried to change the subject:
"Crawford, are there any other discoveries?"
The maid continued without changing her face:
"Sir, I suggest you take samples for 'research' yourself, some of their properties are quite special."
Take samples for research yourself?
Ronald heard the emphasis in Costart's words, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.
Except there are questions about yourself.
The maid usually maintains a calm attitude throughout.
It's really impressive that the eukaryotic creature in front of her can make her perform such actions.
"Just say it."
Ronald quickly waved his hand for Costart to continue.
As a temporary member of the support team, Ronald had no intention of hiding the facts. After giving this order, he squatted down, reached out and took out a part of the sample, and then analyzed it using "The Origin of Species".
And at the same time.
After receiving the order, Costat naturally began to explain immediately:
"When they engulf the human body, they show very active activity, which is beyond their normal state. If they can be processed, then this eukaryotic organism may be able to participate in the replication of human cells. In the process, it can quickly repair wounds and block the aging process."
"..."
Suddenly, the silence in the team seemed different again.
Even the river rushing forward can't cover up the emotional changes of some people.
Many people in the team could not fully understand what Kostat was describing, especially when it came to terms like cells or eukaryotes.
But they can still understand some simple things, or the most intuitive conclusions.
And Dawn's previous endorsement of their identities.
It gave them the most direct knowledge and trust in Kostat's conclusion.
To put it simply -
in this strange white creature, we can see the hope of human immortality.
