Fang Zheng drove the airship to search for a whole day, but found no relevant clues.
Although many giants were found in the wilderness, according to Fang Zheng's observation, these giants basically seemed to have no intelligence. They usually stood on the ground like idiots without moving. Unless something passed by and attracted their attention, they would attack it. Apart from that, these giants were basically the same as mentally retarded children. They didn't eat or sleep, just stood there stupidly, staring blankly at the sky, and walked around without any goal or direction.
This is a bit similar to zombies, but also somewhat different. Fang Zheng doesn't know how to describe these giants.
If all else fails, why not catch one and dissect it first?
Just as Fang Zheng was considering whether to capture a giant and dissect it, Katima yawned and walked out of the cabin. Human habits are a very scary thing. At first, Katima was very scared and worried about this airship, but after being caught by Fang Zheng and staying on the airship for so many days, she got used to it, or... became a Buddhist.
I can't die anyway, and if I do die I can't escape, so let it be...
Katima was now lying down, so she didn't care about this little thing. She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then...
"Um?"
At this moment, Katima suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing outside. She turned her head curiously and looked out the window next to her.
Then, Katima was horrified to see a pale little hand hanging down from above, knocking on the glass...
“Aa ...
The next moment, Katima's scream resounded throughout the airship.
“…I never thought there would be stowaways.”
Fang Zheng was speechless when he saw the pale black-haired girl lying on the bed. After that, Katima hurriedly called Fang Zheng over, and Fang Zheng went out from the passage above. He found a black-haired girl stuck in the gap of the deck, with a livid face, clenched teeth, and almost unconscious. So Fang Zheng brought her back to the airship.
After the examination... well, this girl is basically hopeless in this world and can only be buried on the spot, but fortunately Fang Zheng is not a pushover and rescued the girl in a few moves. Of course, now we can only say that her vital signs have returned, as for other conditions, we can only wait until the girl wakes up before we can tell.
"Why is she outside the airship?"
Looking at the unconscious girl lying on the bed in front of her, Katima was incredulous.
"It probably took advantage of no one's attention to sneak into the gap in the deck outside. Although adults can't get in there, children can still get in... Yeah, this is really a blind spot."
Fang Zheng also sighed speechlessly. He had never expected such a thing to happen. If this were posted online, he would probably be criticized by netizens for passing the test for nothing. He walked around the car once before getting in and didn't even understand it. He would definitely be deducted 12 points and his driver's license would be revoked... Wait, this isn't even a car.
Your family is bored and is circling around a few dozen meters long airship.
"I can only blame the guards for not having eyes."
Fang Zheng decisively put the blame on the guards of the previous city. They were originally asked to watch over the matter, yet something like this happened?
Then the question is, if I park my car in a parking lot and something happens, does the owner of the parking lot need to be held responsible?
Although this is not a car.
Because of this accident, Fang Zheng temporarily found a place to land the airship, and then checked inside and out - well, fortunately, there was only one victim, if there were a group... If there were a group, the soldiers of that city would really be useless!
"Fortunately, there is no second unlucky person."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katima also breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what now?"
"Now... let's stay here for a while. I'll go catch a few giants nearby to check on them. You can take care of the girl. If anything unexpected happens, just sound the alarm."
"OK."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Katima heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the cabin to continue taking care of the girl. Fang Zheng left the airship and went around looking for... experimental animals.
These giants were not difficult to find. After all, they were tall, and the Gobi Desert itself was not a barrier, so they could be seen at a glance. So Fang Zheng found a few giants without much effort, and put them on the ground in a few moves. What? Giants have strong regeneration ability? No problem, just nail you to the ground. Strong regeneration ability is better, and you don't have to worry about accidentally damaging your intestines and internal organs and being unable to investigate.
Now you don’t have to be afraid anymore. Even if you accidentally cut it, you can always grow a new one, right?
Just like this.
"Hmm... the liver and intestines here look no different from humans."
Looking at the basketball-sized internal organs in his hand, Fang Zheng weighed it with his hand. Next to him, a giant was nailed to the ground. His stomach had been ripped open, and all his internal organs were exposed.
"Hmm... But how did they do that? Expansion... Cell division and proliferation... Too bad there isn't enough equipment to analyze it."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng once again looked at the giant next to him.
"Hmm? It healed so quickly? The regeneration speed is incredible... Come on, let me cut it again..."
“Wuwuwuwuwu!!!”
At this moment, the giant finally recalled the fear of being dominated by that man, and the humiliation of being manipulated like an experimental animal by him...
Fang Zheng was naturally very excited to have such an experimental animal that could not die and could regenerate crazily. He carefully examined the animal from inside to outside, and finally - Fang Zheng found the reason.
"I see."
Looking at the white object in his hand, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly. What he held in his hand was a piece of bone - strictly speaking, a spine.
However, this spine was a little different from the ordinary spine. A closer look revealed that there were a lot of hair-like tentacles around it. These tentacles had penetrated into the giant's body until Fang Zheng pulled it out of the giant's body. After the giant's spine was pulled out, it evaporated immediately and turned into a ball of gas and disappeared instantly. Only this section of the spine was still struggling half-dead.
"I see."
Looking at the spine in his hand twisting like a snake, Fang Zheng nodded. He was sure that this was the key to the giant. Obviously, the human spine could not be alive, but this did not mean that other creatures could not parasitize it. At present, the so-called giant should be the change caused by something parasitizing the human spine. This also proves why these giants will immediately vaporize and die after the spine is damaged - if they were originally human, then the process of changing from human to giant is like an inflated balloon. Once the balloon bursts, it will naturally shrink.
So, this is some kind of parasite? This is in line with the way the Order Clan does things.
After all, both the Goddess of Order and the Goddess of the Sky seem to have done similar things.
It's like a scientist wants to do an experiment. Hey, I want to get a reaction... First I'll cut some platinum to try...
These Order tribes probably have this problem too. Hey, I want to do something to humans. How should I do it? Let's try a microorganism first... something like T virus, mitochondria...
It turns out that they were all taught in the same school.
“Ka la ka la ka la…”
Just as Fang Zheng was complaining in silence, the spine in his hand shattered into pieces. Then Fang Zheng washed his hands, turned around and walked towards the airship.
"Ah, Lord Kasugano, you're finally back."
Katima heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Fang Zheng coming back.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's like this, the girl has woken up, but... she seems a little strange."
"……Um?"
After seeing the black-haired girl again, Fang Zheng finally understood why Katima was hesitant.
The reason is simple, the girl lost her memory.
Not only did she forget her name, she also forgot her past, and naturally she didn't remember why she came here. She even forgot almost everything except some common sense. She didn't even know what things like chairs and doors were. Obviously, this was a very serious amnesia.
"Well, that's not surprising."
After finishing the inspection, Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
"Lack of oxygen can cause damage to the brain, leading to memory loss. Add to that the low temperature at high altitude... She's lucky to be alive. As for whether her memory can be restored, that's unknown."
"How could this be? Then there is no way for her to recover her memory?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Katima suddenly became uneasy.
"For now, it seems that this is the only way."
Facing Katima's uneasy questioning, Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly.
"After all, it's hard to predict when you'll lose your memory. You might never recover it in your lifetime, or you might remember it all after a good night's sleep. It all depends on your luck."
"So...are we going to take her back to that city?"
"There is no choice but to go back."
Looking at the confused girl sitting in the **, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. Although this was a bit of a waste of time, Fang Zheng had no choice. Although he didn't know the reason, the other party lost her memory because she took his airship, so now he naturally had to send her back the same way.
You can't just kidnap someone without saying anything, otherwise you would become a human trafficker, right?
