Chapter 82 The Undead: Torment Beyond the Limits of Imagination
As if to confirm what Li Xiu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone in the house and found an iron plate engraved with countless identity information.
Driven by curiosity, Zhuge Fu took the initiative to move over and glanced at the contents on the iron plate.
Seeing that the words on the iron plate were all in English, he judged: "The people who stayed here before seemed to be foreigners."
"And"
As he spoke, Zhugefu read out the content engraved on the iron plate: "Name: Norma Nell, born at 3:23 on January 16, 2001."< br>
"Name, Troy May, was born at 10:11 on August 13, 1998."
He concluded: "These were all born at that time in the 21st century People. ”
“So, people at that time had already discovered that there was an inner world in Antarctica? ”
Hearing this, Li Xiu pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He said calmly: "It's pointless to discuss these now."
"Let's find a way to resurrect one of them first."
Yan After that, he ordered everyone, including Xie Shen, to try to resurrect the names recorded on the iron plate.
Maybe it’s luck.
It may also be some other reasons.
In the house.
Zhugefu just read out the name of Norma Nell, as well as her date of birth.
The next second, a human figure appeared on the weird geometric pattern, and gradually turned from virtual to real
This human named Norma Nell is a woman.
After being resurrected, she was stunned on the spot for nearly half a minute.
Then Norma showed an angry expression and rushed straight towards Zhuge Fu who was nearest to her.
Caught off guard, Zhuge Fu was pushed to the ground by the woman.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But the woman named Norma suddenly grabbed Zhuge Fu's neck and said, "You were the one who resurrected me, right? Why did you resurrect me?"
As he spoke, the strength in his hands began to gradually increase.
Seeing this scene, Xie Shen said nothing, decisively waved his hand and shot a golden spirit energy at the crazy woman.
‘Poof’!
With a flash of golden light.
Norma's right arm was immediately cut off by the light sword transformed by the golden spirit energy.
This gave Zhuge Fu a moment to breathe, so he stood up and distanced himself from the woman as if running away.
Seeing blood gushing from Norma's wound, Li Xiu wanted to leave him alive, so he rushed to the left and right and ordered: "Quickly, put some hemostatic spray on this woman."
This is the first sentence. out.
Before the people around her could take action, there was a strange squirming sound from Norma's wound.
The moment the sound sounded, Norma’s severed right arm began to grow back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a short while, her right hand was completely restored to its original state.
This.
Xie Shen stared at Norma and said in disbelief: "How did you grow your right hand?"
Norma felt the same about Xie Shen. Extremely curious: "How did you just cut off my hand?"
Xie Shen did not speak, but waved his hand to release a golden spirit energy, and made it float in front of Norma.
"Did you see it?" He explained: "This is what I just used."
"If I want, I can chop off both your hands and feet in an instant."
>"So, can you talk properly now?"
Norma's hair was disheveled.
She knelt and sat there in a daze for a while, and then she spoke: "How many years is it now?"
Xie Shen said truthfully: "It is 6155 AD, what?"
"6155?" Hearing Xie Shen's answer, Norma showed an incredulous expression: "I have been dead for so long?"
Xie Shen captured a glimmer of important information from Norma's words: "Listening to your tone, you have been dead for a long time?"
"Yes."
Norma said truthfully: "The last time I died was probably in 2142, when I was already 120 years old."
"Then when I opened my eyes again, I was resurrected here by you."
Died in 2121?
In other words, this woman named Norma has been dead for more than 4,000 years.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen became more and more curious about Norma.
He continued to ask: "By the way, haven't all humans in that era discovered the resurrection technique?"
"And at that time, all countries had not signed the '33 Convention'."
"So once people are over 50 years old, they will basically commit suicide and then reset their body back to the state of a 22-year-old."
< br>"So, why do you have to live to be 120 years old before you die?"
"Why do I have to live to be 120 years old?" Norma smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness in her eyes: "You think I Do you want to?”
“Alas”
As she said that, she suddenly sighed inexplicably and said: "The reason why I live to be 120 years old is just because I received a curse, which can make me immortal."
"Immortal?" Xie Shen heard this. He was startled and said: "Since the curse can make you immortal, then how did you die at the age of 120?"
"I told you, I just won't die." Norma emphasized: "I told you Like ordinary people, they will age little by little.”
“At the age of 120, I died of old age in the true sense because the cells in my body stopped dividing.” What?
This was the first time Xie Shen had heard of this method of death.
He asked curiously: "So, how did you get infected with that immortal curse? And your identity information, and why were you left in this house?"
Norma didn't Answer eagerly.
Her eyes showed a thoughtful look, as if she was debating whether to reveal all the secrets she knew to Xie Shen.
Seeing Norma acting like this, Li Xiu said coldly: "If you hadn't lied just now, you would probably have to stay with us for nearly a hundred years."
"After all, there is no one else around you."
"So, I suggest you trust us directly and unconditionally."
"Because you have no choice."
As expected of Li Xiu.
With just a few words, Norma's psychological defense was easily broken through.
After being persuaded, Norma said: "It was probably around 2023 AD, when I just graduated."
"At that time, the military came to our school to recruit people and said they wanted to go. Doing scientific research in Antarctica can earn you more than 40,000 Australian dollars a month.”
“That’s a lot.”
“So many people wanted to apply for this job.” >
“That includes me.”
Norma continued: "Maybe it was luck, but I passed in the end."
"Then, I followed the other people who passed and went to the military to sign a confidentiality agreement."
"After that, we will all be killed."
As he said that, Norma suddenly glanced around.
There was infinite emotion in her tone: "You can't be wrong, this is the world of flesh and blood."
"This room is the dormitory where our group lived." "We were directly resurrected into this world by the military using resurrection techniques."
By the military Was it delivered?
Hearing this, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask: "So, what is the purpose of the military sending you here?"
"Work."
Norma replied: "It's just as promised before: the military really invited us to work here, and really gave us more than 40,000 Australian dollars every month."
"Even, each of us There are still five days left in the month."
"We can choose to commit suicide and then use resurrection to go back to Australia to rest."
"Of course, I will. We can also choose not to die and just stay in the world of flesh and blood to spend the five days off.”
“And our work here is not tiring at all,” Norma continued. Our task is to dig out the scarlet flesh on the ground and send it to the military laboratory through the transmitter, almost once every three days."
"Teleporter?" Xie Shen said with a hint of doubt in his tone.
Norma explained: "Oh, the teleporter can only transmit stones, flesh and blood and other relatively small things. If you forcefully teleport people, the target will be completely dismembered."
This is more or less.
Xie Shen said to Norma: "You continue."
Norma continued: "Because the work is not tiring and the salary is huge, we are in the flesh and blood world I stayed there for more than half a year.”
"During this period, someone discovered that all of our bodies have undergone hundreds of millions of changes."
"First of all, we have become much more energetic, and we only need five or six hours of sleep a day to feel full."
“Then there is our recovery ability.”
“Some small wounds caused by bumps can basically be recovered within an hour.”
“The more serious ones, It only takes 1-2 days.”
"And."
Norma emphasized: "Even if we are resurrected with resurrection after death, this change will not disappear."
"This makes people feel a little bit It’s scary.”
“All of us, including me, were a little scared at first.”
“Some people even wanted to quit.”
"But soon"
"After confirming that these changes had no side effects, we changed our minds."
"We began to think this was a good thing."
“I even think it’s a superpower.”
“Then we continued to work in the world of flesh and blood for nearly half a year.”
"And."
"In more than half a year, the superpowers of all of us began to gradually become stronger and stronger."
"In the end, it developed into As you see it.”
In the house.
Norma glanced at her newly grown arm, and pointedly said: "Even if someone cuts off my arm or even chops off my head, I can completely destroy it in a very short time. Recovery. Then this change made me realize a very serious problem. ”
"What's the problem?" As a talkative person, Zhuge Fu couldn't help but answer.
Norma continued: "Those of us who stay in the flesh and blood world, although our recovery ability has increased, we are still metabolizing."
"Our hair and beards are constantly changing every day. As we grow older, dead skin will appear on our bodies.”
“These all prove that we are still growing.”
“In other words, those of us who cannot be killed will grow older. ”
Norma said seriously: "This is very scary, super scary!"
"Well" Zhugefu said with a confused face: "Those who cannot be killed will grow old. What's so scary about this?"< br>
Actually, it’s not just Zhuge Fu.
Xie Shen, as well as several scientific researchers present, also showed puzzled expressions.
But Jian Li Xiu explained: "The reason why Norma is scary is because of cancer."
"The reason is very simple."
"I believe everyone present is very clear: if a person will only die of old age and cannot be killed."
"Then the only way for him to die in the future is , that is, the number of cell divisions reaches the upper limit and dies at about 120 years old."
"For example, Norma." Li Xiu looked at Norma and said, "She was killed after she was 120 years old. Too old to die.”
“I can only say that she is really lucky.”
"Because she doesn't have cancer"
"That's right!" After Li Xiu's reminder, Zhugefu, who is also a researcher, suddenly said: "Cancer cells in the human body can divide infinitely."< br>
“Normally speaking, cancer cells will take away All the resources in the human body, causing people with cancer to fail and die."
"But the undead like Norma will not!"
"Their bodies will not. It’s like a perpetual motion machine.”
"Whether the cells are damaged or the energy is consumed, it will be replenished immediately in the next second."
"In addition, cancer cells can divide indefinitely and are unlikely to die of old age."
"In this way, once Norma gets cancer, she will truly achieve 'immortality'."
"I'll go!" At this point, Zhugefu's eyes widened. , breathing rapidly: "I'll go! Isn't this too outrageous?"
"But don't forget it."
Seeing Zhu Gefu being so excited, Li Xiu poured cold water on the side and said: "Cancer cells are uncontrollable. They will gradually grow into tumors instead of normal human tissues. Moreover, in the process, they will also cause symptoms to people. It will be a huge torture."
"So once Norma gets cancer."
"There is a high probability that she will eventually develop into a giant sarcoma that is inhuman and ghostly, and will remain there all the time. Bearing the torment of cancer."
"That's not all."
"Norma will live forever because of the curse."
"So this kind of pain will last forever."
"Li Xiu is right." After hearing this, Zhugefu couldn't help but add: "Compared with the immortals suffering from cancer, Tower Prison He’s really just a younger brother.”
In the house.
After Li Xiu and Zhuge Fu finished speaking, Norma spread her hands and said, "So, I actually don't want to be resurrected at all."
"Before I can live to be 120 years old, which is really hard work.”
"I will not touch any food that may cause cancer."
"I will not do any behavior that may cause cancer."
"In addition, I may have been lucky at the time."
“Finally, I lived safely until I died at the age of 120.”
“But you people.”
Perhaps because she was too angry, Norma couldn't help but swear when she spoke.
“I finally died, and you brought me back to life just because you said I would be resurrected.”
“What if I get cancer in the future? Do you know? How serious are the consequences?”
Norma cursed: “The cancer on my body can’t be cured by chemotherapy or cutting off a certain part of my body.”
"I won't die."
"This immortality also includes cancer cells."
