Chapter 17 Environment

 Forget it, this is not the time to think about this kind of problem, there are still other things to do.

Zhang Lingjun opened the door, and there was a corridor outside. The regular concentric ring-like bacterial plaques of different sizes were even more dense here, almost covering the entire space.

And at the same time, on the wall, on the ground, on the door, you can see scattered pieces, some big, two or three meters in diameter, some small, the size of a plate, like a blanket growing on the ground.

Zhang Lingjun stepped forward and observed carefully, and found that these carpets and the regular ring-shaped bacterial plaques were not two unrelated entities.

But it grew out of this foundation.

It usually appears in places with dense annular plaques and grows on them. If you pull them out from the edge, you can clearly find that they are essentially hyphae growing out of the rings that look like flesh and blood fibers.

It is entangled there in the shape of a tree.

Then sometimes there will appear on some larger mushroom carpets, half-open small umbrella-like mushrooms, as big as a palm, with grimace-like lines on the surface and a slight fluorescence.

It is like a creature with a fixed growth and evolution level, and it seems to be a rational ecology based on a certain logic.

This is also a change that does not occur in external plaques. Is it also affected by some special factors? Or is it also due to environmental reasons?

Zhang Lingjun frowned, suppressing the growing and uncontrollable doubts, and focused on the rooms connected on both sides of the corridor that were the same as the one he just walked out of.

For some reason, none of these doors were locked. I opened a door and looked at it. The interior was basically the same as the previous corpse room, with a similar layout. There were wax-sealed corpses in the pool.

In this room is an old man in his fifties or sixties. His face is full of wrinkles and tiredness. He seems to be asleep. Time is frozen and lifelike. His face has obvious characteristics of the same Southeast Asian race as before.

, the workmanship and design of the navy blue work clothes on the body can be seen as coming from the same era as the clothes in the previous room, decades ago.

There are also bacterial plaques on the clothes, and there are mushrooms growing in the eye sockets on half of the face...

It can be seen that they are the same people as before.

Zhang Lingjun checked several more rooms and found that they all had the same layout and the bodies were sealed with wax.

Except for the age, appearance, and occupation of the corpses - the clothes they were wearing were different, as if they belonged to people from all walks of life and all walks of life, the rest were the same. They also lived in symbiosis with fungi and remained intact. They were even the same.

There are mushrooms growing in the eye sockets, or the varieties are different, higher or lower, but they all have mushrooms.

This last bit is a bit strange.

One or two may be a coincidence. If multiple of them show such results, there must be a reason.

Zhang Lingjun tried to gently pull out the mushroom from the eye socket of a corpse.

Then I found that the root of the mushroom was stuck in the eye socket, and there seemed to be a wound.

Does every corpse have such wounds?

What does this mean?

Is there any connection between this and the cause of death of these corpses, as well as the fact that they were brought here and presented in this strange state?

Zhang Lingjun thought about it, and if there was some kind of standardized behavior corresponding to this kind of wound, the only thing that came to his mind was the infamous prefrontal lobe removal surgery that he once heard about.

It was an era when the human body and the brain were not well understood. A certain guy came to the conclusion based on experiments on monkeys that some crazy people and people with weird behaviors had problems with the prefrontal lobe of the brain. As long as it was removed and cut off from the brain

After the contact, the whole person will return to normal and become quiet.

So they began to promote this kind of surgery. At first, they pierced the skull and destroyed the prefrontal lobe of the brain. Finally, after the technology matured, a special ice pick was developed and inserted through the eye socket. It can just reach the position of the prefrontal lobe of the brain. If cooperated with

With electric shock anesthesia, a skilled operator can complete an operation in about 5 minutes.

Later, as modern medicine gained a more systematic understanding of the human body, it became clear that this was wrong, and this type of surgery has been banned.

At least 20 years ago, people no longer performed this primitive operation.

The most important thing is that there is really no way to correlate this kind of surgery with the current results and the current state of these corpses, which were brought here, sealed with wax, and symbiotic with fungi.

I can’t understand.

Zhang Lingjun ignored these for the time being and continued to move forward, following the traces of the fungus carpet on the corridor floor in the direction Yang Mu was going, and continued to open the door and observe.

In addition to further observing the environment, he learned more information.

Part of the reason is the dagger.

Since there is a dagger, there may be other more powerful weapons.

From the corpses discovered before, the proportion of military uniforms is not small, which is also a verification of this.

In such an environment of unknown crises and ups and downs, if you have the opportunity to be armed, you must not let it go.

Zhang Lingjun is searching carefully.

The further you go, the more complete the fungus carpet becomes. From time to time, various weird, beautiful, or strange, and faintly fluorescent bacteria appear. The same is true in the room. The trend is the same as outside, and the fungal ecology becomes more and more...

The more complete and complex it is.

It seems like we have arrived in a special forest.

In some places, the edge of the pool has been completely covered by fungi. At the same time, the mushrooms on the faces of the corpses are also extremely exaggerated.

The two are next to each other, overlapped, and no one can even be seen.

If it weren't for the pool in which the corpse was soaked, or to be precise, the wax in the pool, which was not corroded by the silk thread and insulated from it, the body might not have been found in the end.

After looking for several rooms, I finally found something in a meditation room full of mushrooms that looked like flowers.

A pistol with black mold spots on it and the same two magazines were found on the body of an officer who seemed to be of different ranks from the metal medals on his body.

The magazines are full of bullets.

I couldn’t recognize the model of the gun, and I didn’t know whether the plaque would affect it or whether it could be fired. At the same time, I didn’t have any confidence in my skills.

Zhang Lingjun's knowledge about this kind of thing basically comes from movies and introductions from some foreign bloggers on the Internet. He only knows some basic things and knows how to shoot, but he has never tried it before, and this is still his first time.

It’s unclear how effective it can be, but when I hold the heavy gun in my hand, I feel a little more confident.

Then we really can’t delay any longer.

Follow the traces and go quickly.
