Chapter 201 The Source of the Effect
Humans are actually very fragile under certain standards.
Many things that everyone has done, if done too much and to the extreme, will kill people.
Sneezing to death is undoubtedly one of them.
It is a physiological reaction that humans find difficult to suppress and control.
The nasal membrane is stimulated, and the air is inhaled sharply, and then violently sprayed from the nostrils and made a sound. In this process, many organs in the lung respiratory tract and nasal cavity are unprotected. If the sneezing posture is incorrect, or the muscles are forcibly suppressed, it will cause rupture.
Like the "D-class personnel" just now, sneezing fiercely and violently, one after another. Sneezing until blood is spitting out, and still sneezing, until the throat is torn, the vocal cords are broken and the sound is lost, and only the sound of the chest jet is left, and still sneezing.
This kind of thing is to kill oneself. Yi Bo still has a strong physical fitness. If it were an ordinary person, he might go into shock and faint in half a minute, and then spray himself to death in shock.
The corpses of seventy or eighty animals on the lakeside and on the lake, from birds to hippos and bison, all sprayed themselves to death in this way.
Even insects could not be seen. Obviously, this kind of sneezing is mandatory, not stimulated by material factors, and is not only for animals that breathe with lungs.
"How long did it take for the sheep to die from the beginning of sneezing?" Mo Qiong turned and asked Alexander.
Alexander thought for a while and said, "About forty seconds."
"But the D-class personnel just taught me lasted more than four minutes. Different animals persist for different lengths of time and die in different ways. Maybe they have different constitutions, and if their physical fitness is strong enough, they will persist longer." Mo Qiong said.
After dissecting several animals and comparing them with the cause of Yi Bo's death, it can be seen that the reasons for the animals' final death are also different.
Although the way of death is the same, sneezing to death, the cause of death may be respiratory rupture or intracranial gas diffusion, which is not surprisingly consistent.
In other words, this characteristic is likely just sneezing, and it is not absolutely lethal in terms of characteristics. The reason for death is that the fragile human body cannot withstand endless and violent sneezing.
Sneezing will always happen, and whether you die or not is another matter. Anyway, you are still alive, so you have to keep sneezing.
"Let's find the source first. It should be in that lake! See if we can destroy it or take it to a place like Antarctica." Mike said.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "Find the containment object, then what? Antarctica? If that's all, it's useless to send it anywhere."
"A range-limited containment object will be a disaster wherever you take it. We took it away and only saved this place. But we have nowhere to put it because it is spreading."
"Its biggest harm is like this. Finding a way to curb its spread or cracking the sneeze effect is the most critical."
This is a problem that must be faced. If the scope of this effect continues to spread, then it will be the same everywhere. It is only a matter of time before it spreads to the world.
If you think about it carefully, if its spread cannot be curbed, it will be too desperate.
You can only watch it grow bigger and bigger, and finally form a disaster of mass extinction: sneezing to extinction...
Fortunately, as a containment object used for exercises, the Blue and White Society must have had a way to curb its spread, or a way to make this characteristic disappear.
This is considered additional intelligence.
"We still have to find the containment object. We need to know what it is. Let's use a remote-controlled aircraft that can dive to find it." Mo Qiong looked at the captain and said.
Chris smiled and said, "No problem, and it must have the ability to grab it. At least we must be able to bring it out of the bottom of the lake."
They quickly asked their superiors to send such a machine quickly.
As they were talking, the sheep 1,300 meters away from the lake also began to sneeze. Everyone hurriedly retreated and moved farther away.
"The range is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder if this is permanent once triggered, or will it only sneeze within the range?"
"Pull the sheep back!"
Mo Qiong retreated and threw out the hook rope with force, which was thrown out for more than 20 meters. He accurately caught a sheep and pulled it back.
When the sheep reached a safe distance, the sneezing stopped immediately and it recovered quickly.
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Great, it's really enough as long as we're not in the range. If we start sneezing, we can leave the range immediately and everything will be fine."
Just after he finished speaking, the instructor's voice sounded in the headset: "The sheep is dead."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, especially the new team members such as Mo Qiong, who didn't react.
"The sheep that left the range continued to sneeze, and eventually the eardrum was perforated, and the bubbles entered the brain and spread and died." The instructor continued.
Mo Qiong thought, isn't this nonsense? The sheep was obviously rescued, but the instructor said it was dead.
He looked at Chris and others and found that they were only slightly surprised. He knew that this kind of thing had happened in previous missions.
Seemingly seeing their confusion, Chris explained: "Everything is subject to the instructor's feedback. After the sheep starts sneezing, it will continue to sneeze even if it leaves the range until it dies. All animals should be like this, including us."
Mo Qiong thought about it and reacted.
When using real containment objects for exercises, it is not necessary to set them up completely according to the characteristics of the containment objects. The instructor can exaggerate the capabilities of the containment objects or even modify them.
In this way, even if a containment object is only seriously injured after being touched, the instructor can give feedback by saying: "You are already dead. Its characteristics are such and such, and you are all wiped out, which leads to the continuous deterioration of the containment crisis and eventually affects human society. Your mission has failed."
To put it bluntly, the exercise cannot use too terrible containments. They can only use very safe and controllable containments.
So, if the containment object is not dangerous enough, they can make up for it by bragging...
If they say you are dead, you are dead. Anyway, in the exercise, whether they are killed or not is determined by the instructor.
"Let's use the drone to find that thing first. Who will operate it?" Chris asked.
Immediately, a team member took over the console and said, "I will!"
Driving training includes remote control driving, and basically anyone who operates it is almost the same.
The man skillfully operated the small underwater detector to search for all suspicious things. Originally, it was thought that it would take a long time to find it, but who knew that an extremely suspicious thing passed by the camera.
"Fish? There is a catfish here?"
Everyone hurriedly approached and saw a three-meter-long catfish swimming at the bottom of the lake.
"All the fish are dead, their bodies floating on the lake, but this fish is fine..." Alexander said.
It can almost be asserted that this catfish is either a containment or a derivative, otherwise, when even insects and other fish spray themselves to death, why doesn't this fish die?
Unless, it is the source of the effect.
"Catch it up!" Chris ordered.
But the man operated for a long time, and finally controlled the spear gun on the underwater drone and shot the big catfish.
However, the catfish is stronger than the underwater drone. Not to mention catching the fish out of the water, it actually pulled the machine to run.
What's more, after being shot through by the spear gun, there was not even a trace of blood, it seemed that it was not made of normal material.
"Captain, the drone is out of control..."
The camera went black, and it was obvious that the drone was crashed.
"We need a larger machine." Alexander said.
"No, no. The camera can see so clearly, calculate the angle, and shoot the fish at the bottom of the lake directly from a high altitude, it's the same." Mo Qiong said.
"Ah? It's more than a thousand meters away, and we can only capture its position through underwater lenses. The place where the shot was fired is completely different from the angle of the lens, so it's too difficult to hit it." Alexander said.
The bottom of the lake can't be seen from outside the lake. Either drain the lake water, or we can only estimate it through the lens of a small underwater drone.
"How do you know if you don't try? Quick, give me the most powerful spear gun." Mo Qiong said.
"The most powerful spear gun has a killing range of less than 1,300 meters!" Chris frowned.
"What if we shoot vertically from the sky?" Mo Qiong said: "After shooting it, we can always pull it out with the power of the plane, right? Hang it in the air, and we can study it better."

P.S: Sorry, I'm not in good shape recently. I'm sorry.
