The Walking Dead: reborn as Carl

As always, Carl strolled along the streets in the early morning when the sun was warm.

Carl has become familiar with everything in Woodbury and has gotten used to a lot of it.

For example, every morning, after feeding "Penny" breakfast, Carl would go downstairs early and walk on the street.

Then go to the hidden basement.

Although Carl no longer felt that there was any need to go, he still had to go.

Perhaps I should learn from Milton how to procrastinate and kill time.

But there is no point, it's just a waste of your life.

The so-called research did not make much progress, although Carl was very anxious because "he" wanted to cure "Penny" in a real sense.

Carl also promised himself that if possible, he would, because Carl could understand this feeling, especially the feeling that happened to him, which was more than just empathy.

But Carl also knew that this was unrealistic.

During this period, Carl personally dissected several zombies. The bodies and organs of the zombies were very special.

Not every zombie is exactly the same, but most of the organs that have not been directly damaged are maintained in a very special state.

Carl calls it a "semi-dormant state". It's not that it can't perform its own functions, but there is no need to perform them under normal circumstances.

However, the organs of those captured zombies were generally severely damaged, which does not mean anything directly.

"Penny" is still intact.

You need at least one as complete as "Penny" to see anything, but it is still too difficult to find such a one.

And there is another question, Carl wants to know, what if someone is infected with the virus but does not suffer fatal injuries.

Is it the consciousness within the body or the body that dies?

Or become half-dead and undergo transformation.

Unfortunately, Carl doesn't have any test subjects now. Such experiments require real living people, and not just one or two. Without a sufficient base to verify the opinions, nothing can be confirmed.

But Carl has not reached this point yet, and the Governor will not agree easily. Perhaps he can persuade him, but there is no need.

Maybe there's a Carl who really wants to do this, and he'd do anything for "Penny" if he could.

pity,

Carl would tell him: You can't do it.

that's the truth.

Carl couldn't do it. Carl knew very well that it might not be possible to restore "Penny" even if modern technology advanced for another hundred years.

How could it be possible with just one Karl, even if there was a governor?

But what Carl really cares about is not these, but his current mental state.

After this period of time, Carl understood himself better and better. No matter which self he was, he was still himself after all.

Even if I become two selves, I am still myself, not to mention that they are not two in the true sense.

Under Carl's stimulation, Carl felt that he was about to turn from schizophrenia to split personality.

But this split is not complete, the two are still one, which is a very strange feeling.

Even the two memory clusters seemed to have come together, but there was a thin film on the surface, so they could not be truly integrated.

Rather than splitting, perhaps it should be called primary and secondary. At least the primary Carl has been restricting the growth of the secondary Carl.

I am trying my best to prevent "him" from becoming an independent personality.

"He" only needs to be your own garbage station. You can stuff all the bad things into it, and then let "him" come out to replace it when you need it.

This is enough, this is the ideal state.

Carl is actually doing this now.

During this period, Carl would only let "Second Carl" appear when facing the Governor and "Penny".

The rest of the time, it was always Carl, the real Carl, the rational Carl, the mentally stable Carl.

The same is true when it comes to interacting with other people.

As for the flaws?

When the web of lies is woven tightly enough, even the truth cannot break it.

Walking down the street, I casually greeted some people passing by, including Dr. Stevens.

Today, Carl had breakfast at Dr. Stevens's again.

Of course, Dr. Stevens would have no objection to this. On the contrary, he was very happy.

Although not as happy as when I first saw Carl again a few days ago, it was almost the same.

Well, Dr. Stevens was very confused about where Carl had been during this time, not only Dr. Stevens, but many people as well.

For example, Noah, Luo Wan, Haley, and even Martinez. Well, I met Martinez a few days ago.

But it is much easier to deal with them, except for Dr. Stevens who really cares about him and wants to get to the bottom of it.

But she could only ask and couldn't do anything, so this was still easy to solve.

Carl was still grateful to Dr. Stevens, but it was only a rational gratitude.

For example, Carl knew that Dr. Stevens would be happy if he went to have breakfast with her, so he went.

But for Carl, this makes no difference, the only difference is that he has to walk a few more steps.

But why not walk a few more steps, get delicious food, and make Dr. Stevens happy?

After the walk, I returned to the basement alone.

Milton was very nervous when he heard the sound. He immediately appeared from behind an instrument, looking busy.

But when he saw it was Carl, he stopped, greeted Carl with a smile, and hid behind to read some novels and magazines.Well, Carl has gotten used to it. Some things cannot be kept secret for too long, especially when they are together day and night.

Unless there is a drastic change, which Milton can't do, maybe it can, but if it's just for laziness, there's no need.

Carr had no problem with this, as Milton himself said;

What do you want me to do? What can I do? Experiment? What can I experiment with? This pile of junk?

Well, original words, Carl was impressed.

Carl didn't know what to do here. A few days ago, he was still busy dissecting zombies every day.

But after so many dissections and without much substantive progress, Carl stopped.

Carl walked to the workbench, picked up a notebook, flipped through it, then picked up a pen and wrote down some new conjectures and possible experimental steps that he had thought of.

Well, this notebook is no longer a diary. Carl has given up the habit of keeping a diary in Woodbury.

This notebook contains a lot of Carl's findings, records, conjectures, and arguments from his autopsy of zombies.

It took me an hour or two to read it, and I added and revised some of them.

Then Carl closed his notebook, sat in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to think.

There is a lot of thinking, and you will always need some time to think.

Here, neither Carl nor Milton took the initiative to talk, and each did his own thing, unless Carl needed Milton.

In return for Carl not telling on Milton about his laziness, Milton would never refuse anything, no matter what it was.

After about an hour, the thinking time was over and it was almost lunch time, so Carl left.

As for lunch, of course I went to Dr. Stevens' place.

She's happy to do so.
