Season 1: The Islands Are Quietly Extinct Chapter 76: Unexplainable
As time went by after entering this special state, Miezi found that her perception became more and more acute, far exceeding Hao Jianguo's own perception. It can be said that Mieko can do whatever happens in the entire submarine as long as she is willing.
It's at your fingertips.
The next day.
"Cough...cough...cough..." Lu Yan woke up with a strong cough. She looked at her watch and it was already noon the next day. She had actually slept for more than ten hours.
Lu Yan was shocked when she turned on the light and saw herself in the mirror. Her face looked very bad, as if she had suffered a serious illness. She felt that her entire face had relaxed overnight, and even her eye sockets were somewhat sunken.
.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking that she had just woken up and had hallucinations, but the result was the same, a frighteningly pale face was reflected in the mirror.
Her eyes slowly moved down from the sunken eyes in the mirror, and she found four rows of eye-catching red spots on the slightly loose neck, classified on both sides of the throat. When she touched it lightly with her hand, there were
A tingling sensation is transmitted to the brain.
What surprised her was that when she touched the red spots, she felt the same tingling sensation in the palm of her right hand.
"Cough...cough...cough..." Another violent cough interrupted her thinking. She thought she might have a serious allergic rash.
After a simple wash, Lu Yan went to the infirmary first. Zhao Zheng in the infirmary was so startled when he saw her that he almost didn't recognize her.
Lu Yan told Xiaoli her situation and feelings in detail, and Zhao Zheng was a little surprised after hearing this.
The course and symptoms she described were not caused by an allergic rash, but more like symptoms of a viral infection, like acute influenza.
But if it is a viral infection, Lu Yan should have a high fever based on her current situation, but she does not have such symptoms.
Zhao Zheng did not find any special abnormalities after conducting a series of examinations on Lu Yan.
I could only draw two tubes of blood and keep them for testing. Then I gave her some soothing and analgesic drugs and asked her to go back to rest first and come back two hours later.
Lu Yan did not go back to rest. She dragged her tired body to the restaurant to have a meal, and then went to the laboratory. Because she was always wearing the mask Zhao Zheng gave her, no one noticed her haggardness.
Walking deep into the laboratory, Lu Yan noticed at first sight
That mysterious plant that looks like an upside-down mushroom.
She looked again at the palm of her right hand that had been pricked by it. Although there was no trace on it, she didn't know why she felt that her condition seemed to be somehow related to that mysterious plant.
Zhao Zheng suggested that she try to keep a distance from others before she was diagnosed, so she informed Hao Li that she needed to do an experiment and did not want to be disturbed during the period, and then closed the room where she was.
After repeated consideration, the feeling from deep inside her heart became stronger and stronger, and Lu Yan decided to do a slice study of that magical plant.
After making up her mind, Lu Yan first sent the vessel containing the mysterious plant to the only BSL-3 laboratory above Little Silver Fish.
If everything was as she feared, then this mysterious plant might be carrying a terrifying virus, so she decided to conduct her experiment in the safest place on the ship.
She opened the drain valve at the bottom of the vessel, drained all the liquid in the vessel, and then controlled the two micro-robotic arms on the top of the vessel.
One of them only had a robotic arm to lift up the mysterious plant, while the other robotic arm held a surgical knife at the front and slowly approached the plant.
At this time, a shocking scene appeared. The mysterious plant actually started to struggle slightly in the robotic arm, as if it felt some kind of danger.
Although its struggle was very slight, it could not escape Lu Yan's keen eyes. While shocked, she recorded everything carefully.
At this time, she looked at the slightly trembling body, and vaguely felt that they had preconceived ideas before. This was probably not a plant, but an animal.
However, the next scene was even more difficult for her to accept. When she used a scalpel to cut across the surface of the mysterious creature, the originally hard parts of its body suddenly became soft and magically passed by the blade.
Not cut off.
This kind of instinctive self-protection of the body really surprised Lu Yan. She felt that she was not dealing with a sea creature at all, but was competing with alien creatures from science fiction movies.
After the shock, she controlled the scalpel to gradually increase the thickness of the cut. Although she was avoided by the mysterious creature several times, she finally succeeded in cutting off enough parts for the experiment.
When Lu Yan took out the experimental parts and put them in order, she found that there was a little light green liquid flowing out of the wound left by the mysterious creature, and
These fluids accumulate in the wound and do not flow to other places.
Gradually, the liquid solidified on the surface of the wound, then began to crack, and finally fell off.
At this time, the wounds on the mysterious creature had completely disappeared. If she hadn't seen that the part prepared for the experiment was still there, she might even have thought that she had not cut anything off the mysterious creature just now.
If word of this amazing resilience spreads, it will definitely cause the outside medical consortium to fight over it, but Lu Yan is not in the mood to think about it at this moment.
In her heart, there was only fear of this mysterious creature, and this fear only became deeper the more time she was exposed to it, because she found that there were too many things about this mysterious creature that she could not understand.
However, Lu Yan's current situation did not allow her to think too much. She quickly kept herself calm and began to observe and analyze the sliced parts.
However, the results of the initial experiment overturned Lu Yan's previous thoughts. This mysterious creature was actually a mushroom, not a fungus to be precise.
It's just different from the known fungal plants in the world. It is a multi-type mixed fungal plant. In preliminary observations, Lu Yan has discovered fungi from three categories: Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, and Ascomycota.
No less than 10 kinds.
And they are closely and orderly combined to form a giant union, just like a mushroom.
This discovery has overturned Lu Yan's cognition. She is not even sure whether it can no longer be called a fungus. Its structure is as intricate as the cells in the human body.
However, it can organically form a whole. She can no longer explain everything she has seen so far.
After being extremely shocked, Lu Yan gradually calmed down her disturbed mood, because her primary purpose now was to find out whether her physical condition was related to this mysterious fungus.
After several experimental observations, Lu Yan found no connection between the two. She turned her attention to the fungi in the vessel that were soaked in seawater again.
When I was thinking about it, I discovered that there was actually a trace of blood red inside the top of it.
After she zoomed in on the top of the fungus, she discovered that the trace of blood seemed to be her blood, but there seemed to be more blood inside the top of the fungus.
