[Comprehensive] This is unscientific
Chapter 43
Su Miao didn't even think about it, she turned her head immediately, just in time to see a large piece of wreckage rushing towards her under the light.It hasn't been completely charred yet, and several tentacle-like slender things have grown out of the bottom, flying randomly in the air, probably wanting to hug him.If you can hold it, you will naturally earn it, if you can't hold it, it is considered a dying fight.
This piece of debris may belong to the back of the monster, which appears to be quite flat.In such a short period of time, it not only gave birth to tentacles, but also opened a mouth in the middle, with something like a giant octopus sucker in the mouth, which looked very ferocious.Su Miao didn't have time to think about it, she shot three shots with her hand, and when the fourth shot was fired, there was no more bullets in the barrel, it was actually empty.
But the three bullets stopped the wreckage from moving, sending it flying upside down and falling back to the ground.One of the tentacles suddenly extended, like a long whip, and whipped towards her.Su Miao hurriedly squatted down and hid behind the handrail of the stairs.The tentacle made an arc in the air, passed in front of Edward, and drew out again unwillingly, aiming at Kate who was dragging Derek to the stairs.
With a flamethrower on his back and a gun in his hand, Lars couldn't wait for the frightened Edward to issue an order, so he aimed several shots at the tentacle.His marksmanship is also very good, only one shot was missed in a hurry.The tentacles shrank back timidly, revealing an opportunity to take advantage of.Without saying a word, Lars picked up the flamethrower and sprayed it fiercely at the wreckage on the ground.
Searing flames surged out from the spray gun, engulfing the wreckage that sprang up again.This is only a small part of the monster, but when it was burned by the fire, it also made a terrible scream, like a dying struggle of life.
At this time, Kate finally dragged Derek up the steps.Su Miao hurried to help her, and heard the screams gradually disappearing in her ears, and said loudly: "Edward, don't you realize what happened? Something like this has already escaped for two yuan. Don't you hurry up?" Calling people to gather, is it because the companions who want to stay in other places are also attacked?"
Russ still couldn't understand a word, so he had to ask Jonas again.Jonas was already stunned, and only then did he react, and said in a daze: "She means that there are two more of these things, which may attack other people. I think we'd better go search and take them away." Find it out, otherwise..."
Edward's reaction speed was even slower.When he rushed in before, he was full of anger towards Su Miao. If she hadn't had a gun in her hand, he would have tied her up and put her in confinement again, and turned her over to justice when she returned to the United States.After Jonas finished explaining in Norwegian, he recovered from the state of shock and murmured, "Okay, okay...I'll find someone right away!"
"Hurry up!"
"Don't rush me!"
Su Miao was desperate for his mobility and didn't dare to go out alone, so she had to instruct the two Norwegians, "Quickly, quickly, carry him to the big house. If the situation is too bad and there are already victims, I will Naturally there is a way to find them."
Kate let go, handing the wounded Derek to them.She glanced at Su Miao and said out of breath, "So, what you said is true. This thing... I mean, the strange shape, how long does it take to fuse human cells?"
"It's very fast, of course the whole fusion is still very slow," Su Miao explained while running out, panting, "But it can lurk, and like a virus, it first enters the human body and then spreads throughout the body. I think the two pieces of wreckage haven’t gone far, maybe there’s not enough time at all. But to be on the safe side, I have to gather people together and let me do an experiment before I can decide on the next step.”
"What experiment, or what you said, a fusion slice of grotesque tissue and human blood?"
"No need! This time is for testing, not to show you evidence, I have a more convenient way."
With the lessons learned from the giant octopus, Su Miao naturally did not dare to relax.There was only one octopus in the movie, but a second, bigger one ended up appearing.Who can guarantee that there is absolutely only one monster?Maybe when they were busy, the second monster had already awakened, and under the cover of night, it quietly attacked those who were not with them.
As early as when closing the small black room, Su Miao recalled the plot in her mind a hundred times.If she remembers correctly, the people who were parasitized in the scientific research station were Gris, a member of the transportation team, Juliette the geologist, Dr. Sandor, the station manager, and Carter, the unlucky hero who was parasitized in the spaceship.The remaining people were either directly killed by the monster, or parasitized in public, and had lost their hidden threat.
At the end of the movie, the dog in the scientific research station escaped.The surviving Russ realized that it was the last host of the Thing, and threatened the pilot who came to the rescue, asking him to take himself on the helicopter and track and shoot the dog all the way.Unfortunately, they chased the dogs to the American scientific research station.The dog threw himself into the arms of the American, asking for shelter.Russ, who had a nervous breakdown, shot at the Americans and was shot dead on the spot because of language barriers.
At this time, it is not necessarily someone who is parasitized, and even if there is, it is not necessarily these people, and it is not necessarily that dog.Su Miao was afraid of its heaven-defying hidden ability, and decided not to let go of any possibility.
The people in the scientific research station were gathered together.They followed Edward's orders and searched the various rooms, and went out to inspect other cabins.Everyone has time to be alone, and no one can prove that the companion has not seen the wreckage of the strange shape, and has not been attacked by it.But fortunately, no one is missing.Derek was only burned on the back by the explosion, and his life was not in danger.Edward cleaned the wound and gave him a salt-sugar solution, saying that the wound would heal after a few days of treatment.
Therefore, Su Miao felt a headache and felt lucky.She stood in the very center of the big room, scanning the people around her.They were either sitting or standing, those who sat clenched their fists slightly, and those who stood clasped their hands in front of their chests, all of them looked in conflict.I also know that just after they made an exciting discovery, they were easily blown to pieces by her, so they naturally hated seeing her.
As the station master, Dr. Sandel still maintained a calm demeanor, and asked: "Edward, what happened? Everyone is here now, and no one is missing. Please explain to us, this lady What have you done?"
"She's right, I saw it with my own eyes." Under Su Miao's strong request, Derek was not sent back to the dormitory, but lay on a long table.At this time, he was still sane and expressed his support feebly.
"...what did you see?"
Still unwilling to be upstaged by others, Edward covered his mouth with his fist, and said calmly: "Let me explain. Simply put, there is bad news and no good news. The bad news is that our discovery is over, Completely ruined by her. The worse news is that what she said before should be right, that thing is a monster... a monster with strong survivability. Although I still have doubts about the so-called 'simulated human appearance', it is indeed It is a very dangerous creature. We must do everything we can to avoid being attacked by it."
"Also, she said, she has a way to check who is parasitized and who is not." He concluded with a sullen expression.
The expressions of the others changed immediately, and their gazes focused on Su Miao like searchlights.Su Miao straightened out her thoughts a long time ago, and said, "Okay, please don't ask me how I know, just pretend that I have met this kind of monster before. In short, its mimicry has two weaknesses. One is, It can only imitate carbon-based organic matter, that is, human body composition, not inorganic matter. If the victim has tooth fillings, plate after fracture, it must expel these things from the body, and cannot fuse with itself Together."
"The other thing... is that each part of its tissue has an independent stress response," Su Miao said while observing their expressions, but unfortunately nothing could be seen, "This can be expressed in blood. Just take a small amount of blood from each person, put it in a petri dish, and burn it with a high-temperature spray gun or something. The blood of the monster will automatically avoid it, just like a living thing, and the blood of ordinary people will just be quietly destroyed. burn."
In the end, she said in an unquestionable tone: "To be on the safe side, checking for inorganic substances is only one aspect. I hope you can understand how serious this matter is. Donate a milliliter of your blood and let me burn it."
Honestly, that's not an excessive ask.Everyone has a blood test before entering Antarctica.Moreover, the blood-taker was not Su Miao, a stranger, but Edward, whom they were all familiar with, and a young man named Adam as his assistant.He and Kate are old acquaintances, and he also has a good impression of her. Seeing Kate's gesture with her eyes, he offered to express his willingness.
Carter was sitting at the dining table, watching over Derek. He shrugged and said, "A milliliter of blood is not valuable, it's just a finger prick. Count me in. I'm willing to use this method to prove it."
Now that they have set an example, others have also agreed.Although two or three people said "this is ridiculous", seeing that others were willing, they had no choice but to agree for fear of being excluded.Edward raised his voice slightly, and asked, "Does Derek still need to test?"
"Yes." Su Miao said coldly.
"I still think this is unreasonable," the geologist Carl muttered, "isn't that monster already dead? How could it successfully attack and parasitize a person in such a short period of time... You made the atmosphere so tense, What good does it do us?"
Carter laughed and said, "Relax, it's just a little blood, it won't hurt you. Don't forget, after the inspection, we have to find other wreckage. Too nervous to refuse to help?"
Carl adjusted his glasses and said anxiously, "I didn't say that."
The two methods proposed by Su Miao, one was copied from Kate, and the other was copied from the protagonist McCready in the main story.Perhaps because she had already proven herself, she hadn't faced particularly great resistance.She also felt a little more relaxed because of this, took a step forward, squeezed out a smile and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's start. Mr. Edward, please take us to the laboratory."
Edward nodded with a gloomy face, and walked out without saying a word.
This scientific research station is from the 80s, and the laboratory facilities are not as advanced as in the 21st century, but the place is spacious, with all the basic equipment, and a blood test is enough.But after a while, everyone entered the room, spread out according to Su Miao's intention, and Derek was also carried in and placed on the laboratory table.Rubbing her hands uneasily, Kate asked, "From whom?"
"Lars, I want to confirm his identity, and then ask him to supervise," Su Miao said, "Check his dental fillings first, and then do a blood test. Who can translate for me?"
Jonas turned to Lars and said a few words.Russ nodded, opened his mouth, and motioned for her to come and see.Su Miao thought that he was indeed a good teammate, so she took a small flashlight and walked there.
However, at this moment, a strange whirring sound came from behind her.This sound seemed to be the accompaniment when the god of death was asking for her life, and she broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
This piece of debris may belong to the back of the monster, which appears to be quite flat.In such a short period of time, it not only gave birth to tentacles, but also opened a mouth in the middle, with something like a giant octopus sucker in the mouth, which looked very ferocious.Su Miao didn't have time to think about it, she shot three shots with her hand, and when the fourth shot was fired, there was no more bullets in the barrel, it was actually empty.
