Chapter 214: Characteristic Conversion, Full Brain Power
Hong Donghua died by praying, while this man died by leaning against the wall and standing. If he hadn't been able to detect any heart and pulse beats from this man, he would have thought that this was still a big man. living person.
This is the second death in the territory. Ning Ze’s expression is not very good-looking. It can even be said to be ugly. After all, these are his people. The loss of any one of them is a loss, not to mention this. way to die.
Yang Ming also took the initiative to observe the corpse. There was a hint of frown on the corpse's expression, but there was no sign of pain.
According to Yang Ming's observation, this corpse had been dead longer than Hong Donghua, almost three days.
Wang Xu looked at the corpse and frowned: "Lord, the personnel sent by my subordinates also found some spoiled food in this person's residence."
Ning Ze said, "If I didn't ask you to keep these people under guard, why are they here?"
Wang Xu was also a little confused. He did follow the lord's instructions, and then he found a combat team member, who was under the supervision of this combat team member before.
But when the combat team member saw the body, his eyes widened and he said: "Impossible, I have been following him, how could he appear here? And a few seconds ago, I confirmed He is still with me."
Such remarks immediately made Wang Xu feel numb. Was he still by his side a few seconds ago? If the body hadn't been placed here now, I'm afraid he would have believed this team member's lies.
Wang Xu wanted to say something else, but Ning Ze smelled a rancid smell from the combat team member and asked immediately, "Search him."
Facing Ning Ze's order, this combat team member did not resist at all. Instead, he took the initiative to open his combat backpack and let it be searched.
Because of the existence of the system backpack, the combat team soldiers usually do not put too many complicated items in the combat backpack. To put it bluntly, the combat backpack exists to increase the load of the combat team soldiers, so it contains The items are also relatively heavy items, such as drinking water, smoke bombs, and daggers.
Soon, someone found something from his combat backpack that shouldn't exist. It was a piece of meat.
After all, there is a system backpack, and storing food in a system backpack is not only convenient, but can also keep the food fresh. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to choose to put perishable food like meat in a combat backpack.
The weight of this piece of meat reached more than ten kilograms, which can be said to be all the current savings of a normal combat team member. However, it is indeed unreasonable to be placed in a combat backpack and left to rot.
The meat also seemed to be deteriorating, but the deterioration was not serious and there was only a slight smell of decay.
This piece of meat was taken out alone in front of the combat team soldier, and then the combat backpack was returned to the combat team soldier, but he did not show any emotional feedback, as if he was not aware of his piece of meat. It was "confiscated".
Sure enough!
Seeing this, both Ning Ze and Wang Xu realized the problem with this combat team soldier.
Immediately, without waiting for Ning Ze's order, he asked all the combat team soldiers to open their combat backpacks for inspection. After this inspection, it was shockingly discovered that there were four other people in the combat team who had a similar situation.
Because the combat team does not adopt a three-meal-a-day system in the conventional sense, but each soldier eats multiple meals a day, ranging from three meals to five or six meals. Eating less and eating more meals is a healthier diet. Habit.
At the same time, when the combat team faces different combat tasks, they can replenish their physical strength through food in a more reasonable way. Therefore, it is impossible to count how many of these soldiers have never eaten, but by putting meat in their combat backpacks , can detect these problematic soldiers.
Regarding the current situation facing the territory, Ning Ze felt a little numb for a while and could not figure out the specific situation for the time being.
After pondering for a moment, he asked Wang Xu to conduct a thorough investigation of all the residents. Anyone found to have problems would be sent to the hospital for a physical examination first.
According to what Yang Ming said, these troubled territorial residents are probably dead. After all, after the autopsies of the two corpses that appeared in the territory, they both concluded that they died two or three days ago.
But according to his own observations, these troubled citizens are still alive, at least their heartbeats and pulses are still there.
This incident caused a great disturbance in the territory. After all, anyone who is not a fool can see that some strange things have happened to some people in the territory.
The appearance of two corpses in succession also made these territorial residents start to panic.
Ning Ze, on the other hand, found a deserted place and began to analyze secretly.
According to the results of Wang Xu's thorough investigation, more than 70 people in the territory have experienced strange situations. This ratio can be said to be very huge, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of people in the entire territory.
But there is good news from the hospital. After continuous examinations, these people who have undergone physical examinations can still be confirmed to be alive, and there are no physical problems, but cognitive problems. question.
The biggest cognitive problem is that this group of people cannot recognize the existence of food. Whether it is rotten food or fresh food, it seems that they do not exist in their eyes.
This is very strange, just like someone holding a piece of meat and asking you if you want to eat it, but the other person tells you how to eat it in the northwest.
"Judging from some current clues, it can be confirmed that these people do have some cognitive problems. At least their understanding of food goes against common sense."
"There are even some people who have other cognitive problems. For example, the combat team soldier who was the previous guard was unable to realize that the person he was supervising had left."
This person also conducted some tests later. The content of the test was to continue to supervise a person who had cognitive problems. However, when the person under supervision left, the soldier did not realize at all that he was supervising him. people have left.
"There are still some people who are unable to recognize the living and the dead."
This was also something that was discovered later. It was discovered that a small number of people were unable to recognize the two corpses. Instead, they thought the other party was still alive, and even went up to say hello to the corpses.
Forget it, the key point is that these people not only say hello, but also communicate with the corpse for a long time. At one point, a certain territorial citizen even talked and laughed with the corpse.
There are various signs that the situation encountered in the territory this time is not an ordinary situation. The whole incident is full of a strange feeling, and even Ning Ze can't help but feel a little creepy.
At this moment, Yang Ming also came to his side.
If you want to know a more specific situation, then the two corpses cannot be left alone. Only by dissecting them can you draw more specific conclusions, and such a thing naturally falls on Yang Ming.
At this time, Yang Ming said straight to the point: "Lord, the villain has dissected the corpses. After preliminary identification, the real cause of death of the two corpses was due to hunger, or in other words, insufficient energy intake. die."
Yang Ming was not the only one responsible for the autopsy. The hospital also arranged personnel to conduct inspection and analysis, so this conclusion was the result of discussions between Yang Ming and everyone in the hospital.
Ning Ze asked: "Hunger usually leads to physical weakness, but these two people did not show the slightest sense of weakness when they were working, and these two people only did not eat for two or three days, and they did not As for starving to death in such a short period of time.”
Regarding this issue, Yang Ming had obviously thought about it in advance, and immediately expressed his guess: "Logically speaking, it is true. Generally speaking, if the human body does not take in food and only takes in water, it will not survive even for seven days." No problem."
"Furthermore, the physical fitness of the two deceased people was stronger than that of ordinary adult men, and they could survive longer."
"But the problem lies in the fact that the two of them worked at high intensity for two to three days without eating. This will undoubtedly speed up the consumption of their body's energy, and eventually they will appear in a short period of time. Just like starving to death."
"Okay, I understand, go down." Ning Ze sent Yang Ming away, and then thought to himself.
"According to this situation, all the territorial citizens who have discovered the problem so far have a cognitive failure in food. In other words, if it is not stopped, the final fate of these territorial citizens will be like this, starving to death alive. .”
Ning Ze couldn't help but feel a headache. Those citizens who had been thoroughly diagnosed with problems still had a phenomenon that they were unable to eat and would vomit immediately once they ate.
If it were on Blue Star, he could also hang their lives by injecting glucose, but here, such methods are obviously not possible.
"In this way, it seems that these people can only rest for two days temporarily. After all, this can slow down their body's energy consumption and survive longer. But in the end, this is just a solution that has no other solution. The most important thing is to understand the real situation.”
Next time, Ningze announced that all the people in the territory would take a day off. As soon as this news came out, all the people in the territory got excited. After all, it was a good thing for them to have a good day off.
Of course, there are also some people who can't stand idle and want to continue working, as if they feel that they have lost the meaning of life if they don't work. Ning Ze simply ignores these people.
But the bad news did not leave, but kept coming one after another.
In just a few hours, two more corpses appeared in the territory. These two corpses still appeared in unusual ways. One of the corpses even lost his life while sitting directly on the toilet while going to the toilet. .
After counting this time, the territory has now lost four people, which really makes Ning Ze feel headache and heartache.
The management staff in the territory were also constantly discussing countermeasures, but after much discussion, they finally came to the conclusion that this cognitive impairment is contagious to a certain extent.
Because more and more people are suffering from cognitive failures in the territory, even Zhao Leici is suffering from cognitive failures.
In this regard, everyone realized that what happened this time might endanger the survival of the entire territory.
Ning Ze also began to analyze the entire incident. In order to make his mind more useful, he had to convert most of the other basic functions of his brain into mental flexibility.
This kind of behavior can make his mind greatly flexible, and he can notice smaller details and infer some more specific situations.
But the disadvantage is that the increase in brain flexibility will put the brain into a state of high-speed operation. Even if you are just sitting still and thinking about things, the sweat on your head will flow down like water.
But considering the situation in the territory at this time, this shortcoming has become something not worth paying attention to.
The two latest corpses that appeared did give him some ideas. First of all, he accurately captured the common points of the four deaths.
That is, for a short period of time before the four territorial citizens died, no one was around to observe them.
In other words, these four deceased people all chose to die in a corner where no one noticed, and by the time they were discovered, they were already corpses.
"This incident is definitely not a normal situation. It is most likely caused by some unknown existence. Although I can't be sure of this yet, as time goes by, I faintly feel something appearing above my head. There was a pressure, as if someone was paying attention to me, and maybe I was one of its targets."
The sixth sense is very powerful. It can sense things that ordinary people cannot feel. He has asked many people about this feeling, but no similar situation has occurred.
But something like this really happened to him, as if there was an unspeakable being watching him, exuding this greedy emotion.
"Don't think too much about this matter. At present, the four deceased people died in corners where no one noticed. This is indeed a point worthy of being locked up."
After thinking for a moment, Ning Ze gave Wang Xu an order.
The content of the instruction is to divide everyone into small groups. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to that at least two people in each group do not have cognitive failures, because these two people can play a surveillance role. This prevents certain people in a small group from falling out of sight.
Of course, the more important point is that each small group must conduct cognitive failure detection every half an hour. Once a new person with cognitive failure is found, the small group must immediately mobilize personnel. (End of chapter)
