Paranormal incident investigation notes
Chapter 279 Mutation
Lu Ming knew that something must have changed in Luo Yang's body.
He was on full alert, staring closely at Luo Yang's body, which was fixed with restraints inside the tempered glass. Then he saw that after Luo Yang shed "tears of blood" from the corners of his eyes, his body suddenly began to tremble slightly.
The trembling became more and more violent, and even caused the hospital bed under him to start making noises.
At this moment, members of the medical team had arrived in front of the tempered glass, but Lu Ming reached out to block them. So the group stayed outside the glass and paid close attention to Luo Yang's changes.
After a moment, a doctor shouted in a low voice: "His skin has turned black!"
Lu Ming observed carefully and saw that Luo Yang's exposed skin was indeed slightly darker than before. Not only that, the skin seemed to have shriveled a bit and become a bit wrinkled.
Lu Ming's mind raced, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
"Maybe... this is the next step after 'madness', 'mutation'? Luo Yang, he, he is going to become a monster?"
"Everyone retreat and evacuate! Guard team is on level one alert!"
The group immediately evacuated the room. The heavy steel door closed, and Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The guards rushed over, armed with guns and ammunition, and immediately occupied every direction of the steel room. Lu Ming led the doctors to the monitoring room and continued to observe the changes in Luo Yang's body through monitoring.
After this interval, Lu Ming could clearly see that Luo Yang's skin was getting darker and drier when he saw Luo Yang again. Not only was it dry, but there were also pieces of scale-like things appearing vaguely, and a vague rock-like color appeared from them.
Lu Ming looked at a doctor, who shook his head in horror. Obviously, the things happening in front of him at this moment were beyond his cognition.
He had no idea what was going on.
Lu Ming continued to look at Luo Yang, and saw that Luo Yang's five fingers were connected together. The skin and flesh on the palm of his hand were quickly drying up and hardening, like a piece of clothing, "taking off" from the bones. And the exposed bones were actually fused together at this moment, like a knife.
His body was still trembling violently, and all the flesh and blood in his body were changing rapidly. He opened his mouth silently, as if howling miserably, but no sound came out. The muscles on his face were twisted, and his expression looked both painful and strangely smiling.
A bone-chilling chill rose from Lu Ming's back.
Before Luo Yang, Lu Ming already knew that the madness would most likely lead to mutation, and the human body would most likely turn into a monster. He has already been mentally prepared for this. But when this scene actually happened before his eyes, he still felt some uncontrollable fear.
From the unknown, from mystery, from the deepest fear in the heart.
He barely suppressed the fear and panic, and still allowed himself to focus on the mutating human body.
Maybe I should do something at this moment. Lu Ming thought so. But after a moment, he realized that there was nothing he could do except strengthen his vigilance to prevent the weird things happening in the glass room from affecting the outside world.
The only thing that can be done is to wait for it to continue mutating and for the mutation process to end.
He saw that Luo Yang's legs and feet were experiencing a similar situation to his arms at this moment. Flesh and skin are being "taken off" rapidly, and the exposed bones of the feet are curled up abnormally. Lu Ming looked at it and felt that the shape was vaguely familiar. Thinking about it again, I immediately realized that this was very consistent with the footprint data I had obtained.
This is another very direct evidence.
Mutation is still proceeding rapidly. At this moment, the changes had spread from the limbs and head to the torso. After the rapidly darkening skin, there was a violent rumbling in the abdomen, as if some monster was about to jump out of the belly. But in the end, no monster jumped out, and the surge gradually calmed down, but the skin had become as hard as scales.
His body was abnormally hunched and curved strangely. His original height of 1.8 meters had shrunk to only about 1.4 meters.
However, matter cannot disappear out of thin air. So where does that reduced material go?
Just when Lu Ming had this doubt in his mind, a doctor nearby shouted in horror: "Its current temperature is as high as 87 degrees Celsius!"
Eighty-seven degrees Celsius!
Lu Ming was surprised.
When an ordinary person's body temperature reaches 40 degrees, it is already considered a high fever, which can make one feel sick to death. But at this moment, the high temperature of 87 degrees Celsius is almost enough to boil the water.
"The carbon dioxide content in the room is rising rapidly, and the oxygen content is falling rapidly. During the previous changes, it should have consumed a lot of oxygen!"
Does it also need to breathe oxygen?
A thought flashed through Lu Ming's mind.
He realized that during the previous changes, this monster must have violently consumed the energy in his body.
At this moment, the changes taking place in Luo Yang's body seemed to be coming to an end. After another violent tremor, it went completely still.
Now, what was before Lu Ming was a monster that Lu Ming was sure had never existed on earth before. Its arms have now turned into bone knives that are tens of centimeters long, and its head has shrunk by more than four-fifths and turned into a triangle. The torso is shriveled and hard, like some kind of carapace, the legs are dark and hard, and the feet are like the hooves of some kind of animal.
It was lying on the hospital bed, motionless.
In the monitoring room, many doctors, biologists and others were sweating profusely and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Lu Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, his brain spinning rapidly.
Before Lu Ming could think of anything, on the hospital bed, Luo Yang, or rather the monster, suddenly made a move.
The arms that had turned into bone knives moved slightly, and the restraints on it were immediately cut off. It sat up, moved its body, shook its triangular head, and finally turned its head and looked at the tempered glass.
The next moment, its body suddenly bounced up and pounced on the glass with great ferocity. The bone knives in both arms struck the tempered glass with great force. There was a loud bang.
In the monitoring room, several experts looked pale, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground.
They were frightened.
Lu Ming also felt great fear in his heart at that moment. It was as if he was not watching the surveillance camera at the moment, but standing in front of the monster.
"Will it break the glass? After breaking the glass, will it break the wall? What if the wall can't stop it? Should I shoot?"
At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Lu Ming's mind. The next moment, he saw the monster's body sliding down from the tempered glass.
No scratches appeared on the glass.
Creations derived from the top technologies of human civilization have withstood this test.
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel relieved.
The monster finally landed on the ground, which was also made of steel. It lay on all fours, raised its little head, looked at the tempered glass in front of it, and let out a creaking howl.
The sound was not loud, but it was full of gloom and terror, mixed with a strange aura. When people heard it, they felt their hearts tightening and panicked involuntarily, as if a huge disaster was about to happen in the next moment.
It crawls on the ground like a beast, sometimes knocking on the tempered glass with a bone knife, sometimes bumping it lightly with its body, as if it is studying the current environment it is in.
The roar of a helicopter was heard outside the room. A moment later, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei hurried in.
"Lu Ming, Luo Yang, has he mutated? He..."
He Wei spoke eagerly, but before she finished speaking, she stopped unconsciously. She looked at the surveillance screen in shock and at the monster crawling in the room.
"Really, really turned into a monster? Really, is it a monster?..."
She unconsciously murmured these words to digest the shock in her heart.
Zhang Dingshan still maintained his composure at this moment. He looked at Lu Ming solemnly: "Give me the previous video."
Lu Ming took a moment to retrieve the previous records, allowing Zhang Dingshan and He Wei to relive the entire mutation process.
After reading it, the three of them were silent at the same time. After a long time, Lu Mingcai said: "It seems that it was this kind of monster that caused the murder in the mental hospital. There are twenty-eight people in Zhou Tianyang's team, and they are twenty-eight of this kind of monster."
At this moment, these twenty-eight monsters entered Nanli Mountain, and no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace.
"It's powerful, but not powerful enough to break tempered glass."
Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "Find a way to fix it again and conduct follow-up research."
So far, the monster that Luo Yang mutated into is the only specimen in our hands. In this case, of course, we must study it and obtain as much data from it as possible to increase our understanding of this new type of creature.
"Contact Qing Liang and ask him to mobilize relevant experts."
Lu Ming murmured: "This kind of thing... Which subject should we mobilize experts in?"
This kind of thing never existed on earth before. In the past, there has never been a situation where one kind of creature mutated into another kind of creature just because it looked at a star map on Earth.
There is no such thing as a mutation without looking at the star chart.
Since it doesn't exist, no one will study this kind of thing at all.
Zhang Dingshan paused for a moment and continued: "Everyone who has anything to do with it will be summoned."
"good."
He Wei agreed and took out the phone. Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming again: "How are the animals doing now?"
Lu Ming calmed down before answering: "There are no cases of animals mutating. Several of those animals that went crazy have died at this moment. Veterinarians have examined them and found that their causes of death are generally complex, such as their own immune disorders, stress mechanisms, etc. Organ failure or something like that.”
"It seems that animals cannot mutate. Only humans can mutate."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
Combined with the previous clue that "the higher the IQ, the greater the impact", it seems that the reason for this difference between humans and animals is most likely to be intelligence.
Because humans have enough intelligence to mutate after going crazy. Animals don't have enough IQ to even be qualified for final mutation.
This made a thought flash in Lu Ming's mind: "I wonder if those human individuals with lower IQs, such as those whose brains are underdeveloped due to certain diseases, will mutate after seeing the star map?"
The IQ of some human individuals with more serious diseases is not even comparable to that of some more intelligent animals.
But then, he forcibly gave up the idea.
It's easy to throw away things like ethics and morals. But it is extremely difficult to pick it up again. Perhaps, in some life-and-death crises involving the entire human race, we no longer need to worry about ethics and morals, because the meaning of the existence of ethics and morals is to allow civilization to continue better. If civilization is gone, ethics and morals will be gone. significance.
But at least at this moment, Lu Ming has not yet seen the necessity of abandoning ethics. Therefore, there is no need to think about human experiments for the time being.
At this moment, the head of the guard team has selected the five strongest guards with the best individual qualities.
Every one of them has climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Ordinary broken arms and limbs, with blood and flesh everywhere, can no longer touch their nerves. Even if they face death, these people can still remain calm in the face of danger. But at this moment, facing this monster, these people were still uncontrollably nervous.
This comes from the biological instinct. After all, the unknown is the scariest thing. At present, our side knows almost nothing about this monster.
Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming came to the conference room and watched in silence as the head of the guard team mobilized the five guards. Afterwards, the five guards put on helmets, gloves made of special fibers, pants, shoes, tops, isolation suits, and oxygen bottles on their backs. When the five people walked out of the conference room, Lu Ming and three others saluted them at the same time.
No one knows what it means to be in close contact and confrontation with this monster. But someone has to do this. At least at this moment, these five people were ready to lose their lives. Such people deserve respect no matter what.
Under peripheral security, the five people arrived in front of the room where the monster was kept. With a creak, the heavy steel door was opened. Under Lu Ming's gaze, the monster suddenly jumped up and rushed toward the door.
All four guards hid on both sides of the door. The other guard faced the monster directly, but remained calm in the face of danger. He raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger directly. The next moment, a big net rushed towards the monster, covering it with a hood.
after. The four warriors swarmed forward, instantly fixed the opening of the big net, and dragged it directly into the room.
I originally wanted to take a week off...but forget it, let's resume updating from today.
