Vol 6 Chapter 2014: Conversion

I have been caught here for many days. They occasionally give us some food, but most of the time we don’t care.

"We can only stay in narrow bubbles, but I am not depressed, I am observing their actions very carefully."
"According to my observations, most of them have almost no intelligence, only a few intelligent individuals...the average individual does not think, they only listen to the command of the intelligent individual."
"It is those intelligent individuals who are commanding a large number of troops to constantly attack us and capture us..."
"And when there is no command, individuals without intelligence will only move mechanically. I think this is what I should use."
"... Although I thought so, I didn't find a chance to escape. I have been here for too long, and I have even seen them capture our purpose for a long time."
"The purpose of them is to turn us into a part of them and become the same... dry corpses."
"They took us one by one and transformed them into their kind. I am no exception. I was caught by them."
"But maybe they didn't expect it, I brought some special equipment."
"After they took me out of the bubble, I figured out how to use the equipment to escape their control and escape their valleys."
"When I returned to the research station, I found that it was destroyed long ago and all my colleagues were arrested."
"But I am still here, and here... observing the changes in me."

"I don't know who can find out..."
Lin is looking at a screaming creature in front of her eyes.
Here is a research station.
In this abandoned research station, scattered items can be seen everywhere, and the overturned vehicles have houses that have been cracked.
Lin is now standing in a house with a device for recording images.
In the picture of the three-dimensional image, one can see that the Ershi people fell painfully on the ground. While making a miserable voice, they tried to climb to the table next to them.
It holds a small bottle of luminescent liquid in its hand and it seems to want to put the bottle on the table.
However, it did not do it at the end, it fell to the ground and the bottle rolled to the side.
Turning around, Lin can see that the dead Ershi people are next to it... It has now become a skeleton.
But the bottle that it lost at the time was not here. It might have been taken away, maybe those ‘corp.’
This left only the image of the Ershimin record and its bones.
From the image, Lynn can learn a lot.
It is what Lin knows now, the only one who has been captured by the 'corpse' and then escaped. Apart from it, there are no other people... including Lin and Bilu’s two plans to save. Can't escape.
But the two are mainly cold, because the temperature around the car becomes too low after the car is out of the valley, and their bubbles have no heat preservation function at all, so... they can't last long.
Although, Lin feels that even if they are not because of the cold, they can't support it for too long.
Because, there are some other reasons.
And those corpses are not chased out, maybe they don't think it is necessary, or... their intelligence level is not very high.
Because it is mentioned in the only record of the Ershi people who escaped.
This Ershi has a lot of research on the corpse, and most of the research was done when it was captured.
"Vironica classmates! Communication is restored!"
When Lin listened to the recording, Bilu suddenly ran from the outside and said: "It seems to be able to contact the exhibition hall!"
"Look at this first." Lin continued to look at the information on the video.
The next piece of information is the conversion process of this Ershi people.
This is also the most valuable study of it...here.
..................
"I found them. In my blood, these things are not ordinary creatures, nor carbon-based creatures...not native species, they are a brand new microbe."
"On the first day, they were quite active in my blood... and killed my cells."
"The next day, they are getting more and more, I can't kill them, I can't do it with the current equipment."
"The third day... I feel like they are talking in my mind, they seem to have gotten into the brain."
"The fourth day... my body... is shrinking..."
"..."
... Although the voice recording is relatively vague, but Lin found that the text inside is quite detailed.
In short, after it was captured and transformed by the corpse, it escaped on the way and found that the body was infected with a special group of microorganisms.
These microorganisms grow in it and kill its cells...and even dry the water in it.
Later, it had no way to make a sound, but still recorded the whole process by hand.
Under the influence of this group of microorganisms, its body slowly transformed into the 'corpse'.
The whole process is that the microbe slowly kills its cells, changes its bone structure, and absorbs its moisture.
But when doing this, the microbes will strengthen its outer skin and skeleton.
Finally, let its body shrink more than a meter high, and become the same dry creature as the corpse.
In fact it did not record to the end.
Because the whole process has grown to half, it will almost die.
So the latter process is speculative, but it should be the same thing, it is slowly changing.
When it felt like it was dying, it collected a portion of the corpse microbes from the body that it considered to be...the most critical.
At the same time, it also swallowed a ... highly toxic substance.
It feels that if you commit suicide before it is completely dry, it may not become a dry body.
Its idea seems to be successful, because it can now see its body.
It did not become a corpse but died here, but the microbial bottle it left behind was gone.
Lynn can only see the data it records and the last things done through its video.
So, what exactly is this microbe?
They are not cell creatures. The main thing they do is to dry the Ershi people and then rebuild a mechanically-like bone in it to make it move again.
This process seems to depend on whether Ershimin is alive and if not, it cannot be completed.
There is also dream energy...
Although this Ershi people did not find it, Lin felt that microbes would produce dream energy in the process of drying up the people.
Some corpses also carry some dream energy, so they can feel a lot in their valleys.
