Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 290 The Cause of Death
"what?!"

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment... Although it is said that if you die three times in the game, you will be removed from the shelter, but no matter what, Qi Lin has never heard of anyone who will die directly in the game cabin-of course, Except those who died of starvation.

"What, what's going on here? How could the death in the game involve the real world? Ivan, tell me again, what are the obvious characteristics of the three dead mutants? Could it be the game cabin? What is the accidental cause of electric leakage?" Qi Lin asked a little unwillingly.

"No, their game cabins are functioning normally... However, they all have one thing in common, that is, the expressions on their faces are very distorted... According to my experience, they are likely to be alive... frightened to death or It hurts to death."

Scared to death?Die?
The corner of Qi Lin's mouth twitched unnaturally. Logically speaking, the degree of pain in the game cannot break through the limit of human physiology, because when the pain exceeds a certain level, the self-protection mechanism in the human body will directly make people unconscious, so , It is absolutely impossible for the body to suffer death without any trauma to the body.

Moreover, mutants have lived under the torment of mutated bodies for a long time, and they should have become accustomed to pain long ago, so the possibility of painful death can basically be ruled out.

As for being scared to death...

Qi Lin suddenly thought of a famous psychological experiment.

With the help of the police and the court, several psychologists found a criminal who was about to be executed and took him to a small dark room.

The police and the psychologist tied the criminal to a bed, and then stretched the criminal's arm out of the bed and fixed it. A partition was used to separate the criminal's sight so that he could not see the situation at his wrist.

"According to the crimes you have committed, we will execute you, and the way of execution is to cut open your wrist artery with a scalpel, and let you bleed to death alive." The psychologist said to the criminal, He waved a sharp scalpel in front of the criminal's eyes, and then cut lightly at the criminal's wrist artery through the partition.

However, this knife did not cut open the criminal's blood vessels, but only tore a little skin, not even bleeding much.

However, the psychologists placed a metal pan behind the partition and used a dripper to drip water drop by drop into the basin, disguising the illusion that the blood was dripping, and occasionally saying "has flowed out". How many milliliters have been taken", "I have already saved half a pot" and so on to stimulate the criminal.

At the beginning, the criminal was still terrified and struggled constantly. After 10 minutes, his eyes widened in despair and he breathed heavily.

In the end, the criminal's face became paler and his breathing became weaker and weaker. After several hours of experimentation, the criminal's heart, whose skin was only scratched by a scalpel, suddenly stopped beat!

He died because he frightened himself to death in such a terrifying atmosphere!

Qi Lin suddenly felt that the three of Takov probably died because of this reason—the process of the parasitic worms penetrating into the host's brain was too real and too painful, which made the three of them feel uneasy. An illusion of being in reality, and when the worm invaded the brain, the brain subconsciously made a judgment of "dead", and this judgment was brought to the real body.

Afterwards, the brain stopped working, breathing and heartbeat stopped one after another, and the three people died alive in the game cabin.

Qi Lin told Ivan his guess, and Ivan's face was also very ugly.Originally, by virtue of the fact that mutants could be resurrected indefinitely, they could try to "raid" the No. [-] warehouse indefinitely.

This game world is like a "training mode". They will not apply it to actual combat until they have figured out a successful method and become familiar with it. But now, they have suddenly discovered that the death of the original "training mode" has changed It became a real death, and there was no chance of a new life at all.

If Ivan wanted to continue exploring Warehouse No. [-], the final outcome would be that all the mutants died in the game world, and they all died in their own game cabins in the real world.

"Is there no way to avoid it? After all, we all know that this is a virtual game world, and we all know that being killed and parasitized by worms in the game will not affect the real world, but why..."

"I think it's hard to avoid. A few seconds before the brain is killed by the invading parasitic worms, the human brain itself will fall into a state of extreme chaos. In this state, unless you have extremely strong mental power and willpower , otherwise it is very likely that the mind will be confused, the boundary between virtuality and reality will be confused, and eventually the brain will make wrong judgments." Qi Lin said word by word, although these are just speculations, but he has a feeling that this has already been related to The real cause of death of the three of Takov is very close.

"By the way! I remember that the mutants parasitized by the parasitic worms are not limited to the three of them. What about the others? Are there any accidents to them?"

"...No, no." Ivan shook his head.

"Ivan, please recall carefully, is it true that Takov and the three of them were parasitic in a living state—or in a conscious state, while the other mutants who did not have any accidents in reality, Are they all killed in battle, turned into corpses and then parasitized by parasitic worms?" Qi Lin asked quickly.

Ivan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It seems to be the case!"

"Then there is a way! You see, those mutants who have died, in fact, their spiritual consciousness has been waiting to be resurrected in the dark space, and the corpse left in the game has nothing to do with him, it is just a bunch of simulations. It’s just the data outside of his appearance. Even being parasitized at this time is no big deal, and it won’t affect the real body at all. When Tarkov and the others were parasitized, this virtual data body was still connected to their thinking consciousness Together, in other words, sharing the same brain with their physical bodies."

"As long as you choose to kill yourself before being completely parasitized by parasitic worms, you won't cause any harm to your body in reality—of course, the speed must be fast!" Qi Lin said firmly.

"You mean, when they find themselves about to be parasitized, they commit suicide right away?" Ivan repeated.

"That's right, anyway, the Mastermind has given you mutants unlimited chances to be resurrected. As long as your body is fine in reality, it doesn't matter how many times you die in the game."
