Chapter 2090: Deformation, Distortion, Strange Symbiosis
This is a completely isolated, tightly sealed room. There is no passage in the entire room that is open to the outside, unless you can cut through a wall that is two feet thick and is still increasing, otherwise you can only stay in this room honestly.
This is a complete blockade, of course, only for the people in this room. As for the people outside the room, they can obviously still use the remote control equipment to have limited interaction with the inside of the room.
For example, sampling with a robotic arm, or using various equipment that has already been installed to completely destroy the substances in it. This in itself is a back-hand arrangement considering the worst situation, but, even if such a level has been considered, these arrangements still cannot keep up with the changes.
What is in the room at the moment is a dense tissue structure that looks like biological organs and creepers. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can see many organs that are familiar to you, such as internal organs, tissues such as blood vessels and intestines. It's just that these organizations are organized in a chaotic and irregular manner. It's like dismantling countless individuals and then randomly putting together an abstract painting. Everything in the entire room feels so messy, weird, and disgusting.
Of course, there is the most important thing, the feeling of life. They are not dead things, but are functioning as if they are alive. Tissues that look like organs. It will move in a coordinated manner, as if a living thing is breathing, even if there is no air in this room. And those tissues like the heart are also beating constantly. The naked eye can clearly see the liquid that flows like blood in the blood vessel, and the changes that seem to bring about energy supply to other organs after this liquid is infused into them.
So ugly, twisted, and misshapen, it was impossible to deny that they were living beings. And this is precisely the most unacceptable thing for the humans present.
"You mean, this ghost thing was mutated from those infected?"
The officials stopped their nausea, and questioned Ultron with a pale face.
Ultron explained this way. But after seeing this disgusting monster with their own eyes, they have no way to connect the flesh and blood monster in front of them with the previous lens. As for them, they would rather believe that this is a mutation caused by some ulterior experiment of Ultron, rather than believe that this will be a spontaneous change of the crystal-infected person.
The reason is simple, because they simply cannot afford the consequences.
The number of infected people accepted by Ultron is limited. Under the compulsory intervention of the governments of various countries, that is, under the suspicion of his instinct, except for the first few cases of infection, the other infected people are basically divided up and resettled by the governments of various countries. In the isolation area where they were specially differentiated.
This has also led to the fact that in each quarantine area under the name of the government, the number of infected people is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than the number in the hands of Ultron. And even with the simplest thinking, if this kind of thing happened spontaneously, wouldn't the size of such twisted and deformed monsters in those isolated areas be tens of times and hundreds of times higher than here?
Thinking of this possibility, the government officials were stunned for a while. He expected the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't expect it to be in such a shocking way. So now he would rather question Ultron, thinking that it was some kind of accident caused by his mistake, rather than face such a reality. Even though he himself knew how tiny this possibility was. But he is still lucky...
Ultron can understand the fluke psychology of the person in front of him,
It's just that he is more aware that now is not the time to comfort him. If you are lucky, you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life after the catastrophe, but now, at the moment when the enemy has already made moves and the moves are fatal, as a representative of the government, you must absolutely There is no reason to fluke.
"I am sorry to tell you, sir. This is indeed the most spontaneous change of those infected. External factors have no way to prevent this change..."
"So, wouldn't our isolation areas also... But how could this make our people lose contact? Even if there is such a change, it shouldn't make them unable to send back even a little news."
Ao Chuang is well aware of the situation on the government side. Even if the government has blocked the news for the first time, he can still detect the information he wants to know from the sieve-like government system full of loopholes. As for the information he had learned, he could only sigh, and then said with regret.
"You miscalculated the speed and efficiency of this change, sir."
Pointing to the room filled with deformed flesh and blood in front of his eyes, Ultron explained to him in this way.
"What you are seeing now is not the size that this twisted creation should have. Because at the beginning, the space occupied by the so-called infected body was far less than it is now. This is composed of several different rooms. An impromptu cobbled together isolation environment in rooms that were supposed to isolate individuals in the first place."
"And just as you know, with that strange rain, everything changed in an instant. Those infected bodies expanded rapidly in a way we can't imagine, so that in just a few seconds The walls were squeezed inside, and they colluded with each other and evolved into what it is today. This is the result of me using machinery to strengthen the surrounding walls at the fastest speed. It is conceivable that without my timely response, the current situation How far will this kind of deformity spread. And this is only the result of a dozen cases of infected bodies..."
"I don't know how many infection cases the government has shelved in the quarantine area, but I believe that in this sudden outbreak, the government must lack sufficient response measures. And if the scale of this outbreak exceeds A certain limit, so it is conceivable that those innocent soldiers and researchers are already deeply involved at this moment..."
"You mean, they've been devoured by this twisted monster?"
Hearing Ultron's explanation, government officials found it even more difficult to accept. He subconsciously regarded this distorted flesh and blood as a monster, and in his eyes, monsters would naturally devour human beings and devour them to death.
And if those soldiers and researchers were really killed, then he would rather hope that these soldiers died in a difficult confrontation than see them buried in this monster in such an aggrieved way. belly.
He can't even imagine such fear, even if he just thinks about it a little bit, he will undoubtedly think that it will be the most terrible way of death that a person faces.
However, Ultron's next words quickly made him realize how naive his thoughts were. Of the horrors he could have imagined, there was clearly something far more horrific...
"Devour? No, I don't think that's the right word, sir. It might be worse than you think."
Manipulating the mechanical arm in the closed room, flipping the disgusting flesh and blood like a butcher flipping the meat on his cutting board, Ultron, when the surrounding officials clearly showed expressions that could not bear it anymore, It also switches and zooms in on the entire lens.
And through the lens, one can clearly see a somewhat weird creature occupying this terrifying pile of flesh and blood at the moment.
The reason why it is weird is that this creature has lost the fur that it used to be familiar to us, and if this is ignored, then it is the orangutan we often see on TV.
This is a test item specially placed in these rooms by Ultron when studying whether infection cases are contagious to normal organisms. And when the infected mutated, these orangutans didn't have time to evacuate, and were directly involved.
Originally, Ultron thought that these orangutans were dead. But when he started to study these distorted creations, he discovered that they did not die, but survived in a special way.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Accompanying government officials are not just politicians who only know empty words, but also experts in related fields. Maybe those politicians don't have the energy to make any rational judgments when facing this kind of scene, just being disgusted can make them sick. But those experts, their psychological quality is not so fragile.
"These animals...do they seem to be alive?"
For experts, it shouldn't be too difficult to spot a shaved orangutan. Because even if they say they haven't done similar things, they have seen others do it. Moreover, I have done a lot of dissection experiments, so I don't think the current scene will be so disgusting. At most, there is a little nausea, and this is obviously within the acceptable range.
Compared with this kind of physical discomfort, the curiosity in my heart is enough to overwhelm everything. And faced with the situation beyond their imagination, they also immediately asked one by one.
"How is this done? Aren't these twisted monsters aggressive? Also, how does this creature maintain his life? This level of external pressure should have crushed it long ago The bones and internal organs on his body should be killed. How can it be said that he is still so healthy?"
The speeches of the experts can be regarded as to the point. They can see at a glance the physical stress that this level of flesh and blood can cause. However, the orangutan, who should have been crushed to death under such pressure, managed to survive strangely. There must be some reason they haven't figured out yet.
Their ideas are correct, and Ultron also knows the answer to this question. It's just that he is not sure whether these experts or human beings can accept such an answer.
He hesitated. It's just that he himself knows that this kind of hesitation can't stop the curiosity of these humans. And they will be able to figure out the truth sooner or later, simply, he will no longer be entangled in this kind of question, but will answer them directly.
"To some extent, these animals can survive because of the twisted creations we have seen, and they have reached a weird symbiotic relationship with it. Yes... just as you think. This Animals are now equivalent to a part of this monster, and at the same time are independent of each other. I am not sure how independent this kind of independence can be, but according to my estimation, if they are separated, then it is likely to result in that death of the animal."
Ultron said, using the mechanical arm to turn the flesh and blood around the orangutan again. And this time, what was displayed in front of everyone were those tissues that were connected to the orangutan, like blood vessels and intestines.
This hideous and disgusting organ completely connects the orangutan with the flesh and blood, and it seems that this has not caused any particularly serious impact on the orangutan.
Except for shedding the hair on its body and being unable to move easily because of this connection, all the movements and facial features of this orangutan seem to have kept their original appearance. Whether it's baring its teeth or scratching its ears and cheeks, it's exactly the same as its kind. And the more so, the more amazed those experts.
"It's incredible. Is this a spontaneous behavior? Or is it just an accident?"
"It should be a spontaneous behavior. All the animals we sent for experiments were the same as this orangutan. They all survived in this special way..."
"This is too weird. I mean, how on earth does this weird creature manage to control its predatory desires with such a large and rapid mention of proliferation. Sorry, I'm not sure if I should use this word , because I am not sure now whether it still has the eating and digestion functions that a living thing should have. Where does its body come from? If such a huge body has no energy to support it, it should have been It’s just that nature is corrupt.”
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, control your desire for research. What we are discussing now is the serious situation at hand, not what organs this monster in front of us uses to eat and what it eats to survive. If you There is really something that needs to be discussed, so please, for God's sake, let's discuss the chances of those soldiers surviving."
"I asked you to come here to let me give me a pertinent opinion and tell me what I should do to deal with our soldiers. I'm not listening to you give a lecture here to study the habits of such a monster!"
Perhaps it was because what was in front of him really exceeded the bottom line of these politicians' hearts, or maybe it was because he really wanted to put more energy on rescuing those soldiers, as he said. In short, the government officials almost broke out hysterically at this time, and it was just a scolding without politeness.
But in the face of his scolding, several experts looked at each other in blank dismay, and said something that he couldn't accept.
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to help you. It's that the facts are already obvious. If these animals can survive in this way, then it is obvious that our soldiers, those people you said need to be saved, I'm afraid it will be a similar situation at this time."
"They didn't die... they just survived in this way..."
