I can't play this game

Song Qian said:

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the corpses we found on it. The monsters here must be feeding on those aborigines."

Chen Ke corrected:

"Song Qian, I want to correct one point. It's not that the monster cannibalize people, because it must be cannibalism for kuru disease. In other words, the monster just now may be the aborigine here, and it is a human being."

Everyone froze for two seconds before realizing what the monster they just faced was.

Eggplant asked:

"So that guy is an aborigine who has lived here for thousands of years?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"I can't understand it either. Normal ancients certainly couldn't live for so long, let alone cannibalism and got kuru disease.

Could it be that the prion and his body produced some wonderful chemical changes?Some kind of mutation occurred in his body.

You have to know that prions cannot be killed by high temperature, and their vitality is very strong, which makes sense. "

Ethan retorted:

"But this place has been closed for thousands of years. How can there be so much meat for him to eat? We also saw it on the way here. The corpses of those aborigines were almost dried up and only skins remained."

"I'm not too sure about this, well, let's not talk about this first, what should we do next? It will be very troublesome if we go down without killing it, and I always worry about being attacked by things above."

Eggplant took out a grenade and said:

"Then there is no way, we can't chase it, I'll deploy a booby trap."

Ethan hastily stopped and said:

"That thing throws rocks, and we're out of luck if the booby trap you planted is triggered or pushed down."

At this time Song Qian took out a talisman from her bag and said:

"You don't have to worry about that."

As he spoke, he sprinkled the prepared blood on the talisman, and the bloody talisman shook violently as if alive.

Then hundreds of the same talismans flew out from the surface quickly, Song Qian pinched one end and threw it to the other side.

The chaotic talismans were like tiles, and they were laid on top of the four people at similar intervals.

And when the positions of those talismans were fixed, they disappeared in front of the four of them.

After the layout was completed, Song Qian explained:

"The blood rune wall will only be triggered when it is hit by a living body. Although it is impossible to cover it all, it is enough, so that you don't have to worry about sneak attacks from above your head for the time being."

Eggplant put away his sniper rifle, hugged the Destroyer directly and said:

"OK, since the true face of this dog has been exposed, there is nothing to be afraid of, let's speed up the search."

The fear of the unknown is often the greatest fear. When you know what to face, this fear will be weakened a lot.

The four of them continued down, hammering out all the broken chains along the way, while throwing more lighting sticks into the darkness on the other side.

I don't know if he was frightened by the power of the eggplant shots just now, but he never encountered the weird black tentacles just now.

But not long after, everyone smelled a strong stench.

"Phew, it smells so strong."

Eggplant lit a cigarette and took a deep puff:

"Be careful, the smell is a bit strong in blood."

At this time, Ethan, who was searching around, pointed to a house with a lot of damage that was completely floating in the air below with his flashlight and said:

"Look over there!"

There was a big hole damaged on the edge of the house illuminated by Ethan, a lot of blood was sprayed on the outer wall, and a person could be vaguely seen lying on the side of the dilapidated wall.

Chen Ke threw two lighting sticks to confirm that the monster was not ambushing near the broken house, and the four of them approached slowly.

The strong stench became stronger and stronger.

When they flew closer, everyone realized that the person crouching by the wall was not a person, but a bloody skeleton.

The upper body is slightly larger than the skeleton of a normal person, but the lower body only has some cartilage tissue that has not completely decayed, and there are no legs.

Almost all the flesh on the body was gone.

If the corpse was decayed and only the bones were left, then the bones should be clean, but the skeleton in front of the four of them was so bloody that everyone could even see a little bit of meat on it.

Ethan endured the stench and took a photo, and found the bite mark on the bone:

"It should have been eaten by the monster just now."

Eggplant flicked the cigarette butt away and said:

"Good guy, even a hound can't eat it so clean, but the skeleton is too fresh, it looks like it was eaten a few days ago."

At this time, Chen Ke didn't care about the stench, so he put on his gloves and checked the bones:

"This skeleton should be the same as the monster we just saw."

Song Qian guessed:

"Could it be that the aborigines here mutated collectively after being infected with prions because they ate their own kind, and gnawed on each other, so they became like this?"

Chen Ke was puzzled and said:

"It is indeed possible, but theoretically impossible.

Because if these aborigines eat each other's kind, it won't take long for them to eat them completely, and it is absolutely impossible to live for thousands of years to the present.

Look at this skeleton, it was obviously eaten up recently, how could they have eaten each other for thousands of years? "

At this time, Ethan smelled a stronger smell of blood in the dilapidated house, so he threw another lighting stick inside.

Unexpectedly, under the illumination of this lighting stick, the four of them were surprised to find that the dilapidated house was almost full of skeletons.

A few of them were similar to the skeletons outside, with some flesh and blood stuck to them, but more of them had completely decayed into relatively clean white bones.

Eggplant said in surprise:

"This seems to be the place where the dog eats. No wonder it smells so bad."

But when he saw the bones in the house, Chen Ke was a little uneasy, and he didn't care about the stench, he just got in from the hole, grabbed a bone, pulled it out, and threw it beside the bone outside.

After looking at it for a while, he immediately drilled in again and pulled out a skeleton, and threw it next to the previous two.

Eggplant looked confused and asked:

"No, Chen Ke, what are you doing, kid? You don't want to bury these bones one by one, do you?"

However, Chen Ke's brows became tighter and tighter, staring at the three corpses on the ground, he turned his head and said:

"This... seems to be the same person."

Chapter 465 You're the one

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke stared in a daze, as if he was frightened by something, and said to himself:

"Same person... millennia of mutual cannibalism... oh my god!"

Ethan was a little unresponsive:

"Chen Ke, who are you talking about?"

Chen Ke took a deep breath, and neatly arranged the three bones on the ground together.

Although the degree of decay is different, and some bones have been broken, it can be clearly seen that the size and shape of the three bones are exactly the same after Chen Ke placed them in such a yard.

Eggplant is also a little unbelievable:

"Grass, are these the bones of the same person? But...how is this possible?"

"It might not be possible elsewhere, but it might be possible here."

Before Chen Ke finished speaking, everyone thought of the same thing.

Song Qian took a breath and said:

"You mean? Pisces Jade Pendant?"

Chen Ke nodded and said:

"I really can't think of any other possible explanation for these identical bones other than biological replication of the Pisces jade pendant."

Even Eggplant was shocked:

"Grass, this is a bit scary to think about. In other words, that dog thing has been copying itself and eating itself? It has been eating for thousands of years?"

No one answered Eggplant, but the facts before us are just that.

Chen Ke tried to shake his head to wake himself up and explained:

"That way it all makes sense, not just fresh blood and skeletons.

The lower body of that thing can be stretched and stretched like mud, and it can be connected and moved around at will without borrowing external tools, which is very suitable for the weightless environment here.

But for human beings to evolve into what it is, it must take millions of years, but he has done it here for thousands of years.

It's not a genetic mutation, but he keeps copying and killing himself, which is much more efficient than genetic selection during evolution, which greatly increases his evolution speed.

The reason why antibodies can be produced against prions must also be produced during this evolutionary process. "

Ethan suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Wait a minute, but according to what you say, there are at least two other monsters of that kind that we encountered just now, and they are also the same one."

Song Qian had already fully understood what Chen Ke meant, and explained:

"According to the current situation, it is possible that this is possible. It may have just been copied. The two have not had time to fight, and we just interrupted their fight when we came in."

Looking at these skeletons, Eggplant continued:

"I just can't understand this thing. Anyway, if it were me, I would rather commit suicide than choose to live in the form of eating myself in this dark place."

Song Qian said:

"When they choose to eat the meat of their own species, they are no longer human."

Chen Ke explained:

"It's not just that simple, if it's an exact copy, then this thing's perverted psychology and emotions will definitely be carried.

You think, he is the only one left to eat, and the strong desire to survive will definitely be replicated, and if he wants to kill another self, he must be more ruthless and stronger, and then replicate it again, continuously strengthening and accumulating, really unimaginable. "

Eggplant raised his gun and said:

"There is a big ball of wool in his head, no matter what he thinks, just kill it when he encounters it, it is impossible for it to evolve into a sniper rifle."

Talking about the eggplant, he was about to continue down, but Chen Ke stretched out his hand to stop him:

"Brother Egg, let's go down and back, we still have to be careful, not because we're afraid of meeting that ghost thing, but..."

Chen Ke pointed at the large number of bones in the house while nuzui and continued:

"I'm afraid that some of us will also be copied. After all, these skeletons prove that something similar to the Pisces jade pendant really exists."

Ethan nodded and said:

"It's true, no one can guarantee whether the copied self will want to kill another self."

Song Qian said:

"In short, when you go down, try not to touch anything, and be careful when you find Pisces or something similar."

Eggplant was a little apprehensive about what the three said, and sighed:

"Grass, it's really troublesome."

The four of them controlled the jetpack and continued to descend slowly, passing a few more houses before pressing the pause button.

What appeared in front of the four people was no longer a house, but a bridge made of earth and stone, connecting from the end where the house was built to the other end in the darkness.

But strictly speaking, it was half a seat, because as far as the four of them could see, the center of the bridge was broken.

Eggplant threw a lighting stick on the bridge, but the white light illuminated not only the bridge deck, but also a large number of skeletons on the bridge deck.

Countless skeletal skeletons are scattered all over the place, which looks like a road to hell.
