The chest cavities of the two dissected zombies in front of me have been severely mutated.
Their esophagus has mutated into a huge mouthpart, occupying most of the space in the thorax, while the original lungs have almost completely degenerated, and the heart has been pushed to the side and shrunk into shape.
It looks like this zombie doesn't need breathing or blood circulation in the body at all.
Although from the perspective of a necromancer, the zombies after the T-virus infection and mutation are already corpses and undead creatures, from a biological perspective, the zombies still maintain basic physiological functions.
Therefore, no matter how defiant the T-virus is, it cannot violate the most basic biological laws and conservation of energy.
Since a zombie maintains the ability to move, it will inevitably consume energy when moving. Coupled with the high-intensity metabolism caused by being infected with the T-virus, the energy consumption of zombies is far higher than that of ordinary people.
In addition to making zombies become lethargic and basically inactive under normal circumstances to save consumption, this also brings about a high demand for oxygen by zombies.
After all, as carbon-based organisms, humans still need to consume oxygen to maintain physiological functions, even if they are infected by the T virus.
Blood, as an important carrier of oxygen and energy transport, is also necessary to maintain the physiological functions of organisms.
However, now, the organs used to breathe and maintain blood circulation in this zombie have been severely degraded, just to grow a chrysanthemum-like mouthpart, which really goes against biological common sense.
The parasite in the game is not surprising. It just resides in the host's body and only exposes part of its mouthparts through the mouth when necessary.
Moreover, parasites can also maintain the host's physiological activities and replace the energy supply of certain organs with themselves.
But the zombie in front of me is obviously not like this. It has completely mutated its esophagus and chest organs into this kind of mouthparts like a chrysanthemum.
This unreasonable weirdness not only aroused Chen Mo's curiosity, but also made him wary.
Recalling that Wesker seemed to have had the same mutation in the movie, he suddenly regretted letting Ada Wang burn him to ashes.
That was a living and sane sample. The destination of such a precious test sample should be the laboratory rather than thermite.
But although it was a pity, Chen Mo still did not contact Ada Wang to let her keep Wesker alive.
Although he is a precious experimental sample, Wesker himself is too dangerous, and the threat caused by keeping him far outweighs the losses caused by killing him.
Fortunately, Chen Mo remembered that there seemed to be a lot of these mutated zombies, and it was not difficult to obtain test samples, as long as...
While Chen Mo was studying the mutated mouthparts of the zombies and calculating the gains and losses, Alice on the side also asked Claire about the situation. When she came to Chen Mo, she saw that he was staring at the dissected corpse in fascination and couldn't help but cough.
A voice interrupted him: "Mr. Chen Mo, the zombies have dug a passage underground in the prison. It seems we don't have much time. We must find a way to get out of here!"
Chen Mo was not angry when his train of thought was interrupted by Alice. He just stood up and nodded and said, "We really need to move faster. You try to collect as much useful things as possible. I'll ask them to speed up."
After saying that, Chen Mo left, while Alice and Claire quickly collected supplies that could be used in the prison with another female survivor.
Chen Mo returned to the warehouse and saw that everyone was still repairing the armored vehicles. He did not rush them. He just told them that zombies had dug tunnels under the prison and got in.
"No wonder I always hear noises in the walls! It turns out they are digging tunnels! Damn it, haven't the walls been hollowed out by these zombies?" An old survivor suddenly showed a look of realization.
He was sent to guard Chris before, because at the bottom of the prison, when he was guarding Chris, he often heard sounds coming from the walls, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now thinking about it, he suddenly regretted his decision.
Careless.
If the old survivor just regretted it, then the producer was impatient. He hurriedly approached Chen Mo and persuaded him: "Mr. Chen Mo, the zombies have broken through the prison's defense. We should take a flight immediately."
Get out of here instead of continuing to waste time repairing this damn engine that won’t be repaired anytime soon!”
Apparently, the fact that the prison's defenses were breached really frightened the timid producer, and he already wanted to run away.
In his opinion, since the prison is no longer safe, he should leave as soon as possible. Every extra minute he stays will be more dangerous.
The fastest way to leave right now is to take a plane on the roof and leave quickly before the zombies have completely invaded the place.
But obviously, this kind of villainous behavior of escaping from the battlefield would never be allowed or approved by Chen Mo. He just pulled out his pistol again and put it on the timid producer's head: "I said, don't sweat all over."
Come close to me with such a stinking smell! If you do it next time, I will blow your head off!"
Chen Mo's move undoubtedly made the producer feel greatly insulted, and his face turned white with anger. However, with a gun on his forehead, he did not dare to stab Chen Mo at all.
He could hold back his anger and said to Chen Mo hastily: "The zombies have already come in. If we stay here any longer, everyone will feed the zombies. We should take a plane and leave immediately! Whoever wants to repair this damn engine, let him stay
Come down and repair! At least let those who want to leave go first!
If you force everyone to stay here like this, you will only get everyone killed! You have a helicopter that can leave at any time, but you can't save everyone. Why not let the people who can survive survive, but insist on staying here and
Are these people who have no chance of survival going to die together?"
"What you said makes sense. I really can't save everyone." Listening to the producer's words, Chen Mo nodded matter-of-factly, as if he thought what he said was reasonable.
But Chen Mo's gun was not removed from his head and was still pressed against his forehead.
While other survivors watched worriedly, Chen Mo continued: "But I can at least give those who are willing to work hard to live a chance to live, and I can send the guy who only thinks about escaping to a place where there is no pain.
place.”
After saying that, Chen Mo pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out instantly, opening a 9mm diameter bullet hole in the producer's forehead and drilling into his head.
The high-pressure airflow carried by the warhead was poured through the bullet hole, and the pressure generated was quickly released, squeezing his brain tissue and expanding into a cavity twenty to thirty times the volume of the bullet.
The momentum of the bullet continued unabated and continued to carve open the back of his head. At the same time, the rapidly released air pressure also found an outlet. While releasing the pressure, it blew off his occipital bone, along with about two-thirds of his brain.
