Chapter 760 Mortuary

The white mist gradually dissipated, and when Qi Lin saw clearly what was in the metal cabinet, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly.

This is a corpse. The surface of the corpse is covered with a thick layer of frost, and the remaining space of the metal cabinet is filled with something similar to dry ice.

It's just that this corpse... To be honest, Qi Lin really couldn't find a suitable way to describe it for a while...

It has a human torso and head, but its chest and abdomen are covered with a layer of insect-like exoskeleton, and its arms are connected to a pair of huge giant claws... This pair of giant claws Qilin It's not unfamiliar, but the last time Qi Lin saw such giant claws, it wasn't on a human body... These were clearly the giant claws of a pair of mire crabs, even the part where the setae grew on one side of the giant claws was exactly the same!

There was a smooth incision on the neck of the corpse, and the head was missing. However, through some subtle changes in the spine, Qi Lin had already guessed the identity of the corpse.

This is a parasite!

In "Wasteland Survival Code", players captured and dissected a large number of parasites for research. Qi Lin also participated in this. He clearly remembered that after being parasitized, humans would have their spines It is covered by a layer of fascia composed of a large number of nerves and blood vessels. The ends of these nerves and blood vessels are connected to the tentacles of the parasitic worm in the brain of the parasite. The parasitic worm controls the body of the parasite through this layer of fascia, and at the same time also This organ is used to extract daily nutrients from the parasite's body.

Parasites are not perpetual motion machines. In fact, a body can only be used for about half a year without rest. If eggs are bred inside the body, this time limit will be drastically shortened to three months.

The corpse of the parasite in front of him was obviously a new alien species that Qi Lin had never seen before.

No, it’s not entirely correct to say it’s an alienated species. It’s like a monster forcibly pieced together from the body parts of various mutated creatures. It’s very similar to the monster “Abomination” in “Warcraft” that is stitched together with corpses. .

But unlike Abomination, Abomination is still humanoid. If you ignore the horrific wounds and suture marks on its body, it is at best equivalent to a big fat man. However, the lower body of this parasite has nothing to do with humans. It’s related—eight limbs derived from some kind of spider-like mutant creature are stacked together in a messy manner, covered with sharp barbs and bristles that look very poisonous at first glance. More than half of these limbs have been broken off. A large amount of yellow-green pus flowed out from the fracture, which was frozen into lumps of ice slag at low temperatures.

Qi Lin understood immediately... This basement was actually a morgue.

And the corpses stored in this morgue are probably from the biochemical laboratory in the ruins of LS City.

If there were still doubts about the master brain's biochemical transformation experiments before, then these corpses in the morgue dispelled the last trace of doubts in Qi Lin's mind.

Only the main brain, which has no morality, human form, and concept of good and evil, can create such monsters. In addition, even the most radical human transformation laboratory can't do this kind of complete destruction of humans and beasts. Fusion thing.

Even the "Basaka" modified humans created by the organization are not so crazy and crazy.

This situation is different from the nature of evolutionary fusion of mutant creatures' genes. This kind of modification is to directly and forcibly connect a normal human body with parts of mutant creatures. This kind of experiment is not only crazy, but also has a very high mortality rate.

The human body is an extremely sophisticated system, even the replacement of organs of the same type will cause a fatal rejection reaction, let alone the direct implantation of organs and body parts of different types into the human body.

Qi Lin glanced at it and saw that there were hundreds of such metal cabinets in the "morgue". Obviously, these corpses should be stored in them.

These corpses... should all be failed biochemical tests...

The dry ice inside the metal cabinet quickly sublimated, and the temperature inside the cabinet gradually rose, and the layer of frost on the corpse gradually melted... At this moment, the pair of giant pincers on the corpse's arms suddenly lifted. stand up!

Qi Lin was startled by this sudden change, he quickly jumped back a big step, raised the rifle in his hand, and aimed at the moving "headless corpse" in the cabinet.

As long as this "corpse" shows signs of crawling out of it, Qi Lin will pull the trigger directly, even if it will expose his whereabouts, he will not hesitate.

If the monster is alive... Qi Lin is not sure that he can kill it. After all, the monster can move without a head, and Qi Lin is not sure whether the heart is its key point.

Things like this can never be considered with conventional thinking.

Fortunately, the lifted giant pincers were quickly lowered again, but they still twitched slightly from time to time.

Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the front of the metal cabinet again.

The monster is indeed dead...but part of its body is still alive.

Just like in the famous ridge frog experiment, although the cut frog lost part of the brain, the muscle nerves still respond to the stimulation of the current.

Although this corpse has no brain, from another level, this body sealed in low temperature is actually still alive.

At least part of it is alive.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin also immediately realized another problem.

This basement is probably not the "morgue" or "cemetery" he imagined, but just a "warehouse" for the mastermind!

Coincidentally, at this moment, there was a sound of metal shafts rubbing against the top of the head - the metal cover at the entrance that had been closed by Qi Lin was opened again!

Qi Lin immediately closed the metal mesh door of the cubicle where he was, then quickly and silently closed the metal cabinet, and pulled the synthetic fabric wrapped around the cabinet down a little to cover the hole he had torn open. , and then squatted down behind the metal cabinet.

"Boom!"

Qi Lin had just finished all this when the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from the entrance. He immediately took out a mini periscope and quietly poked it out from the side of the metal cabinet——

I saw a transport robot carrying a metal cabinet that was much larger than the one Qi Lin used as a cover. It slowly moved towards the basement. The rollers on the soles of the robot's feet were constantly rubbing against the cement floor, making a loud sound. There was a sound of "Gu Lu Gu Lu".
