When Schiller saw the pile of electric shock equipment produced by the Joker, he felt that the Pale Knight had wrongly blamed Bruce.
In the video shot by the clown, only the front half of the device was shown. When he saw the whole picture, Schiller realized that it was normal for the device to be poorly debugged, because the device in front of him had a steampunk style aesthetic, like a Victoria
It's a remnant of the times. Schiller didn't know which part of this thing could generate electricity.
Schiller began to consider whether to hand over the deep diver to Bruce.
It's quite troublesome to catch the fishman. The battery of his night vision device is running low. Now they only have this precious sample in hand. If Bruce comes to artificially rescue him again, it will be troublesome.
But Bruce was quite confident. He spent a long time playing with the equipment there, and then asked Schiller and the Pale Knight to carry the Deep Diver to the center of the house, where Bruce prepared to connect him to the electric shock device.
The deep diver's calves were shattered by bullets, and his nose and jaw were smashed by Schiller with a crowbar. At this time, he could not speak and could only scream.
"Let me make it clear first that I have no sympathy for these monsters, but I feel that if we want to get information from him, we should not use this method." The Pale Knight said.
In fact, Schiller had no intention of asking for any information from the deep divers. There should be no way for this guy to communicate with humans. Humans would lose their minds as long as they heard what they said, so there was no need for any interrogation.
.
But the agents don't know how to dissect. Currently, the only one with dissection skills is Bruce. But in this case, if you don't let Bruce have fun, he will definitely not be able to do serious work, so we can only let him do it.
Schiller didn't think that the deep diver would be electrocuted to death. The vitality of this thing should be quite tenacious, and Bruce, who had tested it once with the clown, should have some experience, so there was nothing wrong with electrocuting it.
Bruce clamped huge metal clips that conducted current to the deep diver's limbs, and then inserted a metal rod into his abdominal cavity.
After starting the machine, Schiller only saw a sudden light in the room. The clown-modified device had high power.
The deep diver let out a terrifying scream and then lost consciousness. This was the first time Schiller knew that such an ugly monster could also faint.
Human beings' fear of thunder and lightning even precedes the fear of fire. Although modern humans have integrated electric energy into every aspect of social life, they still have a strong fear of direct contact with electric current. The reason is that electric current is simply the natural nemesis of carbon-based organisms.
.
If you eat something bad, you can spit it out, and if you are burned by fire, you can run away. However, carbon-based organisms have almost no way to resist the electric current passing through the body. The moment the electric current enters the body, it is too late.
Bruce seemed to be very satisfied with his debugging results. Although he had indeed not used mechanical engineering knowledge for a long time, the basics were still there after all. Soon he debugged several more currents to make the unconscious deep diver's
His muscles were twitching like a fish that was constantly tumbling after landing on the beach.
After debugging was almost complete, Bruce finally got down to business. He used a sharp boning knife to cut open the Deep Diver's abdomen.
The Pale Knight also leaned over to take a look, but he was greatly disappointed by the result. The internal structure of the deep divers was not much different from that of humans. In other words, vertebrates that grew into this form had no room for evolution in the internal structure of the divers.
Then the chest and genitals were examined and found to be similar to humans. But what is more bizarre is that their respiratory and circulatory systems are very different from humans. Like fish, they rely on their gills to filter oxygen in the water, and their lungs can store oxygen for use.
Activities on the shore.
In other words, they don't actually breathe on the shore, but rely on the oxygen stored in their bodies for internal circulation and respiration.
After Bruce made a few cuts, he discovered that the weak point of this monster was not the heart or brain. To be precise, the heart and brain were also critical parts. But the easiest way to kill them was to attack the air sacs in the lungs. Once they were stored
If their oxygen is depleted, they will suffocate.
And through this anatomy result, Schiller could know that the time that each deep diver can be active on land is limited. After Bruce threw a successful dice, he deduced that this time was about 8 hours.
Every 8 hours, deep divers who are active on land have to return to the water to breathe, and it also takes a certain amount of time for them to accumulate oxygen. After throwing another successful dice, Bruce deduced that the time to accumulate oxygen is also
It's about 8 hours.
In other words, deep divers work 16-hour shifts, with 8 hours on the clock and 8 hours off work. The important thing about this information is that it lets the group know that this kind of monster is destined to change shifts.
Friends who have been assassins all know that no matter how tight the defense is, as long as there is a shift change, there will definitely be an opportunity.
Moreover, Bruce also speculated that there is no reproductive isolation between deep divers and humans, because the two are indeed too similar, but there is no one to know whether the children they give birth to are human-monster hybrids, or whether they are all monsters.
accurate conclusion.
However, Schiller himself knew that after deep divers and humans mate and produce offspring, the children will be in human form when they are young, but as they grow older, they will become closer to the deep divers, and are destined to return to the ocean and cannot be on land.
Long term survival.
After he told Bruce his conjecture, Bruce concluded that the respiratory system may not be fully developed when he was a child, but when he grew up, he became more and more like a deep diver, which was due to the gradual modification of the genes belonging to the deep diver.
The respiratory system was damaged, forcing the hybrid to return to the ocean, otherwise he would not be able to breathe.
But Bruce also speculated that the reproductive ability of this kind of product of intermarriage between humans and monsters will become weaker and weaker, and they will no longer be able to produce offspring after about 1 to 2 generations. Otherwise, just from this invasion, the number of deep divers will increase exponentially.
As levels increase, humans will sooner or later become deep divers.
Schiller doesn't want to study the genetics of the Deep Ones for the time being. He has more important work to do, but he can't take Bruce and the Pale Knight with him, because they neither understand nor have any resistance to this aspect.
Which one went crazy, and Schiller didn't want to waste resources trying to deal with them.
"Now you have two choices." Schiller said: "There are a group of survivors in the village. They have pretty good weapons, but they are not very smart. Maybe you can go find them."
He was actually hinting that Bruce and the Pale Knight should take over the resources in the hands of the survivors, not that they should rob them openly, but to see if they could become the leaders of the survivors.
Even if it is just for resources, it is estimated that a few people will be rescued in the end, and then the identity of the survivors can be used to make a fuss.
"What's the other way?" Bruce asked. He really didn't want to save people, especially people who Schiller judged to be not very smart. He could imagine how stupid those people were.
"Go find Batman." Schiller thought for a while and then said: "He went to the dock, but I'm afraid he's not in very good condition. I think you can find a way to rescue him. Now that the Joker is gone, he should be able to perform.
All the strength is gone."
The Pale Knight opened his mouth. In fact, he wanted to save the survivors. He was not entirely out of charity, but considered that if there were survivors who survived, the tragedy that happened here would hopefully be made public, so that he could
Save more people.
But saving Batman is equally important. Of course, the Pale Knight can see how strong this Batman is, especially with Bruce as a foil, which makes him more reliable. They need such a leader.
"Don't think about dividing your troops." Schiller said: "Next, you may encounter some things that are far beyond your knowledge. They are terrifying, bizarre, and bizarre, making everyone unable to control their own destiny. Human life
It's as thin as grass, and you may not be able to completely protect yourself even if you try your best."
The pale knight's face gradually became serious, and he said: "If there is only this monster you call a deep diver, it should not be so serious. Is there anything else?"
"Of course, these tangible monsters are far from being called disasters. Real disasters are always invisible."
Check out the correct version one by one!
The Pale Knight took a deep breath and said: "I think we still have to go back to the village first. In addition to my belief in Batman's ability, I also think he may not need our reckless help. On the contrary, if he is here
, he should also choose to accept survivors."
"Okay, I may go to meet you later, but maybe not. It mainly depends on whether I can get useful clues at the next investigation location."
"Do you have any advice for us?" Although the Pale Knight feels that Schiller may not know more, which may double his pressure, listening to each other's advice can at least deepen mutual trust.
On the surface, there is no conflict of interest among the few people alive now. At least the players' camps have been unified. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, even if the characters' camps in the game are not unified, they can at least cooperate briefly.
Schiller thought for a moment and then said: "Don't be tempted."
"Don't be tempted?" The Pale Knight repeated this sentence. He really didn't expect it to be this kind of advice. He thought it would be advice to stay calm or not to be indecisive.
Schiller nodded and said: "As much as possible, don't be interested in unknown creatures, and don't think there is a shortcut to solving this problem, let alone take it, otherwise you will only get deeper and deeper."
"What about me?" Bruce came over and asked, "Do you have any advice for me?"
Schiller hesitated for a moment and then said: "Can you tell me what your intelligence level is?"
"Uh... does it matter? Well, I didn't add extra intelligence points."
"So what time is it?"
"5."
"That's okay."
"What? No suggestions?"
"You don't need any advice, just calm down." Schiller looked at Bruce and pointed at the Pale Knight and said, "If you can, don't let him die."
The pale knight raised his eyebrows, his expression seemed to say, "Ask him to help me, are you serious?"
It's not that the Pale Knight is too arrogant, but that Bruce's unreliability has been written on his face. If nothing else, can any normal person let his intelligence be only 5 when playing this kind of game?
"I hope he will save me? I might as well hope that the clown who has just survived the disaster will take me away."
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Schiller sighed in his heart. Now that Bruce's character can't control such a boring game setting, as long as he has a little bit of spirituality in this area, he won't be able to learn it after ten years.
