"To put it simply, zombies are not much different from us in terms of body structure." Chen Ruier said: "It just has this inner elixir."
"The rest are just like people, the key is just the brain." Chen Ruier said.
"The only critical point is the brain?" Menglonglong asked doubtfully: "Wouldn't it kill someone if they were pierced through the heart? Why do you say that the only real vital point in a person is the brain."
"With scientific research, it is gradually discovered that the real death of a person is only related to the brain. Even in 1968, the Harvard Medical School Ad Hoc Committee directly defined the definition of death as irreversible coma or brain death." Chen Ruier said: "
All other ways of death are ultimately caused by irreversible damage to the brain."
"For example, the reason why people die after a heart injury is because the human heart is a pump that can supply blood to the whole body. The blood contains a lot of nutrients. When a person's heart is severely injured, the blood can no longer supply nutrients to the brain, so it causes
Brain death leads to death of the person."
"Another example is human lung failure. The reason why it causes death is because the lungs lose the ability to absorb oxygen, and the oxygen content in the blood drops sharply, leading to the death of large areas of the brain, which in turn leads to death."
"So, only the brain is the real key to the human body."
"I understand." Lin Keke said: "Just like RoboCop in the movie, they are all transferred brains."
"That's right." Chen Ruier nodded: "If the brain is not dead, we can't really consider a person's death. If medical technology reaches a certain level and can transfer one person's brain to another person, then you think he will survive.
Is it the brain as a person or the body as a person?”
"Of course it's the brain." Meng Longlong said.
"The same is true for zombies. But according to my anatomy, zombies do not need heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs to maintain the survival of the brain." Chen Ruier said: "There is only one thing that guarantees the energy of the brain, and that is the inner elixir.
.”
"In other words, if you want to eliminate zombies, the best way is to destroy the brain or the inner alchemy."
"However, the zombie's skull is extremely versatile, and the inner elixir's hardness is also amazing. It is not easy to destroy it."
"I understand." Meng Nan and others nodded.
"Woooooooooo..." At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the inn, which sounded like wind and crying.
"Strange, why is it so early today?" Meng Nan frowned slightly. They were already very familiar with this sound. They had heard it yesterday and the night before yesterday. It should be the sound of zombies.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Everyone must pay attention." Xia Wenqing pushed up his glasses.
Then everyone walked from the second floor to the first floor, wanting to alert the owner of the inn.
But the strange thing is that the hall on the first floor was dark, and all the oil lamps were out.
"It's strange, the boss just came up and asked me to come down and finish the meal." Chen Ruier said doubtfully.
"Go back to the second floor, there's something weird here." Meng Nan said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
However, just when everyone was about to go upstairs, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on.
The dim green candlelight swayed slightly, illuminating a huge mahogany coffin in the center of the hall.
Meng Nan and others narrowed their eyes and did not approach rashly. Instead, they took a step back.
"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly, there was a dull sound in the coffin, as if someone was knocking on the coffin wall.
The next moment, the coffin slowly opened and a pair of hands stretched out from inside.
"Daozhang Sun." Meng Nan said in a deep voice.
"Mao Zhan, this should be a Mao Zhan." Sun Tianzhao said in a deep voice.
"Let me give it a try." Chen Ruier pulled out two kitchen knives from her waist and slowly walked towards the coffin: "Please pay attention to your surroundings."
"Okay." Meng Nan understood that Chen Ruier wanted to confirm her guess.
After all, a single case of blood stiffness is probably just a special case.
When Chen Ruier was about to reach the coffin, a figure suddenly stood up from the coffin.
He was wearing old clothes, his face was ashen, his eyes were closed, and his hands were stretched forward flatly.
Suddenly, this Maozong opened his eyes, and his pupils flashed with green light.
But before the Mao Zong could make a move, he suddenly heard a "click", and it was Chen Ruier who jumped up and kicked him in the popliteal area.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Maozong fell to his knees on the ground before he could realize what was going on. He struggled a few times and was unable to get up.
"Haha, sure enough." Chen Ruier's face showed an excited look: "The joints all over the body are stiff and contracted. As long as they are violently attacked, they will be easily destroyed."
The next moment, Chen Rui'er held the knife in her backhand and slashed it hard on Mao Zhong's elbow joint. Mao Zheng's elbow joint was also broken in response.
Mao Zheng already had preliminary wisdom, but at this moment he felt that his wisdom was completely insufficient.
You know, this Mao Zhan has fought against many Taoist priests in the past, and these Taoist priests are still somewhat afraid of them.
But how come this woman in front of me doesn't feel the slightest bit afraid?
Also, zombie joints are indeed brittle, but that's only compared to bones.
If it were ordinary people, even an adult man might not be able to break their joints with all his strength, but why was it as easy as breaking chopsticks in front of the woman in front of him?
Mao Zheng was completely confused, but Chen Ruier was not.
He raised the knife and opened Mao Zong's chest. He then raised his foot and kicked Mao Zong to the side of the coffin. Then he kicked Mao Zong hard again, breaking Mao Zong's sternum.
Under the dim green candlelight, Chen Ruier bent down, raised the knife and pulled out the broken sternum handle from Mao Zong's body, and then carefully observed the structure of Mao Zong.
"Sure enough, the heart and lung functions have been completely lost, and various organs have also shrunk." Chen Ruier said while looking at it: "The only thing that can transmit energy is the inner elixir."
"Well, the energy supply and transmission method should be through connective tissue, so even crushing its sternum and spine will be useless."
"How can I..." Meng Longlong took a step back and whispered: "I feel a little sorry for this furry stiff, well, and the bloody stiff one before."
"Ahem, it's true." Xia Wenqing pushed up his glasses.
"Okay, it's basically decided." Chen Ruier ignored Meng Longlong and the others' whispers, and her eyes fell on Mao Zheng's head.
Suddenly, Mao Zhan couldn't help but tremble.
After so many years of death, Mao Zheng felt a little scared for the first time...
