After leading the team to do missions for more than a month, Shen Shi'an insisted that Shen Xun rest for two days. So I woke up at six o'clock in the morning on time without waking him up, and planned to go out for a run as usual after washing up.
Walking into the bathroom lightly, just after squeezing the toothpaste, a firm and hot body stuck up from behind, wearing short-sleeved pajamas of the same style as his, resting his head on his shoulder, burying the tip of his nose in his neck and sniffing A few mouthfuls, like a big dog that is about to come to enclose the occupied territory before waking up: "... Morning."
"Morning." Shen Shi'an saw his messy and curly hair in the mirror, and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub it twice: "Have you slept well?"
Shen Xun shook his head, sniffed a few more times, and licked twice along the way.
"Keep sleeping?"
Shen Xun shook his head again. He didn't speak, just hugged his waist and didn't let go, his sleepy-eyed face was handsome and gentle at this moment, it was hard to imagine that there was a ferocious beast lurking inside him.
Shen Shi'an couldn't help it, picked up Shen Xun's toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste for him, and handed it to him together with the water glass: "Brush your teeth."
There are two sinks on the vanity table, and two people each occupy one, one with the left hand and the other with the right, and they clean their mouths at the same rhythm. In the middle of brushing, Shen Xun tried to come over and rub the toothpaste foam on Shen Shi'an's face, but was suppressed by Shen Shi'an's backhand "violently", and flicked on his forehead by the way.
After washing up, Shen Shi'an looked at the face in the mirror that hadn't dried off the drops of water, and suddenly said, "I have a question for you."
"You ask.
Shen Shi'an turned around and leaned against the sink, "The last time I fought against the puppet Hexiu, a red protective shield suddenly popped up on my body, does it have something to do with you?"
Shen Xun paused, put the towel back on the shelf and nodded: "I did it."
"what is that?"
"A little spell can guarantee your safety."
Shen Shi'an squeezed some body lotion in the palm of his right hand, and after kneading it, he raised his arm and applied it on Shen Xun's face. With a little force on his hand, he kneaded that handsome face deformed: "Say it well, from the beginning to the end. Say it carefully, and don't hide anything."
That layer of protective cover could instantly severely injure the puppet Hexiu, so he didn't believe it was a "small spell".
"It's indeed a spell that can protect you." Shen Xun leaned over and rubbed against his forehead to please him: "You know, my soul hasn't fully fused yet."
"so what?"
"The primordial spirit is the source of Cerberus' mana. Without the fused primordial spirit, the part of the original power contained in it cannot be used by me. That part of the power is very huge, and it would be a pity to idle for a long time, so I thought about it A method, take half of it to form a protective barrier on your body, whenever you are in danger, the barrier will automatically appear, and I can sense it in time."
Shen Shi'an frowned: "You took half of the original power and used it on me? What about you? Does it have no effect on you?"
"No. You have also seen the speed of my fusion with the primordial spirit. It will take a long time to fully integrate. Before I fully integrate, that part of the power is still left, and I don't need it at all."
Shen Shi'an still frowned: "Then what if this barrier is attacked or destroyed? Does it have no effect on you?"
"If the barrier is destroyed, I will suffer a bit of backlash. But don't worry, with Hexiu's current state, even if the body comes in person, it may not be able to destroy the barrier."
"Are you 100 percent sure?"
Shen Xun thought for a while and rubbed his nose: "He is cunning and scheming by nature, he is more than a hundred years older than me, and he devoured the soul of my elder brother. It is possible—very small possibility, he will know something that I don't know. special means of…”
"Then take it back." Shen Shi'an immediately turned cold. "Now take back half of the power immediately. I have the exercises and space, and the protective formation that comes with the space. I can guarantee my safety."
If something that involves half of the original power, if there is a backlash, how can the consequences be light!
Shen Xun shook his head, before Shen Shi'an got angry, he lowered his head and kissed him on the face: "Will you listen to my explanation?"
"The protective formation that comes with the space may not be able to stop Hexiu, and it is easy to expose the existence of the space and the spiritual spring. Not to mention that once the formation is damaged, you, as the owner of the space, will also be hurt. You don't need to worry For me, the barrier has condensed half of my original strength, and if I want to destroy it, there will inevitably be a heavy price. Hexiu is currently seriously injured, because the loss of two puppets has aggravated the injury, trying to destroy the barrier will be unless he dies."
"I know him better than anyone else in this world. Now he is not my opponent. With his personality, I definitely can't accept it. Therefore, it is very likely that he will target you." Shen Xun looked down at his face Eyes: "The enchantment can give you an extra layer of security. Even if you are attacked, as long as the enchantment is fine, I know you are still safe. To me, this is more important than anything else. It is you who taught me to learn to put myself in the shoes of others. , then tell me, if you were me, and you obviously have a way to keep your partner safe, would you choose not to do so?"
Shen Shi'an felt that he was going to hate those dark green eyes.
Because it is too gentle, when it is focused on him, it is easy for him to feel that there is no way to refute what the owner of the eyes said.
"Tell me honestly," Shen Shi'an tried his best to be calm: "Is there any way for you to take back this half of your power?"
"Cough, no, this is a permanent spell."
... He just knew it!
Without waiting for Shen Shi'an to get angry, Shen Xun added: "However, the effect of this spell is actually mutual. In the future, if your skill is advanced, my mana will also be improved, and there are many other benefits."
"When did you cast this spell on me?"
"After turning into a human form."
"How soon?"
"... Just, that night."
That night? The night when Shen Xun turned back into human form, they had just rushed back to Sharp Blade from the absolute death zone...
Shen Shi'an narrowed his eyes dangerously: "At that time, I hadn't promised to date you yet." Just gave half of my strength so easily
Shen Xun was extremely determined: "Anyway, sooner or later, you will agree, and your boyfriend will only be me."
It was already doomed from the day I picked him up, and I couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Shen Shi'an's ears felt hot, so he stopped talking to him, and walked into the locker room to change clothes and go out for morning exercises.
Before the button was fastened, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the bedroom. Shen Xun opened the door. Lin Ruan outside the door was startled. , Captain, the vaccine has a result."
The sharp blade's scientific research building is well-equipped and solid. In addition to the three floors on the ground, there is actually another floor underground, but very few people know about it because very few people have the authority to enter.
After Shen Shi'an and Shen Xun put on the disinfection suits armed from head to toe, under the leadership of Lin Ruan, they walked through the secret door and passed the stairs to the entrance of the basement floor. The cold lights unique to the laboratory immediately came into view.
The negative floor has a large area, and the outermost one is the specimen showroom, where the limbs and organs of various zombies, mutated animals, and zombified animals are all well preserved and displayed here, the most conspicuous of which is a huge transparent glass jar, which contains It was full of liquid, and what was soaked in it was the beastly puppet Hexiu whose neck had been bitten off.
This situation caused Shen Xun to have an instinctive rejection and disgust. Shen Shi'an noticed the strangeness in time, and held his hand before his emotional riots, and turned to ask Lin Ruan: "Have you taken a sample of the beastly puppet?" ?”
"I took it."
"Then cremate, and find a place to bury the ashes." Even if Shen Xun and He Xiu are hostile to each other, they are still his kind.
Lin Ruan glanced at Shen Xun and understood, "I will deal with it as soon as possible, sorry."
In addition to the dead specimens, there are also live research subjects. Two zombies were tied to the dissecting table opposite the exhibition room, struggling and screaming hoarsely. Liu Fangzhou was holding a scalpel in his hand, the tip of the knife was flying up and down, and his movements were crisp and neat. Compared with when he first met him, his anatomical skills were obviously improved by more than one level, and he quickly disassembled the zombies into pieces. They will be sent upstairs as raw materials for extracting pheromones.
Hearing the voice, he turned around and greeted Shen Shi'an and the others: "Brother Shen! Brother Xun! Why are you here?"
Shen Shi'an didn't talk nonsense to him: "Put down the knife and come here."
The laboratory on the negative floor is located in the innermost part, which is also the most protected and most valuable part of the entire scientific research building.
A group of people passed the iris test, and Tang Song, who was sitting in front of the console, immediately stood up, his eyes were black and blue, but their eyes were frighteningly bright: "You are here."
Shen Shi'an threw him a bottle of water: "How long have you not slept?"
"A few days." Tang Song unscrewed the lid and took a few sips casually, "Did Lin Ruan tell you?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "I told you the result. If it's not troublesome, please explain it in detail again."
"Since realizing that there is no drug that can kill the zombie virus while ensuring the survival of normal cells, the main research direction of Lin Ruan and I has turned to trying to make the zombie virus return to the original virus. You should remember that we have The three blood samples of the eleventh flu patient in China were collected before being infected with the original virus, before mutating into a zombie, and after mutating into a zombie.
Through these three blood samples, we found that the transformation of the original virus into the zombie virus was completed almost instantly—for those humans who have become zombies and are not immune to the original virus, the original virus penetrated into a certain part of the DNA. In an instant, it will mutate into a zombie virus.
This process is so short that it is impossible for us to find any breakthrough for reversal. Until the captain you gave those two bottles of pure spiritual spring water. Lingquan water can't directly kill the zombie virus, but it can effectively slow down the mutation process of the original virus, which gives us more time to observe and record. Afterwards, by continuously adjusting the ratio between Lingquan water and various commonly used virus inactivating drugs, last night, "
Tang Song gave up the position on the operating table facing the microscope: "We successfully completed the reverse degradation process for a sample of the zombie virus."
Shen Shi'an aimed his left eye at the lens of the mirror, his heart beat a few times quickly, and then quickly regained his composure.
"How long did the reversed state last?"
"Ten hours, thirty-eight minutes and nine seconds." Tang Song answered in one go.
This length of time means that the possibility of the reversal failure and the transformation of the original virus into a zombie virus is extremely low.
Shen Shi'an straightened up, "What are you going to do next?"
"This is just the reversal of a single sample," Lin Ruan said, "The next thing to do is to experiment on the complete zombie. Last night, in the process of confirming that the reversal state continues, my teacher and I have put enough to kill a zombie. The effective dose of medicine has been prepared."
He took out a long and thin needle tube from the biological preservation cabinet, which was filled with a tube of transparent liquid.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath, and walked out first, there were ready-made zombies on the dissecting table outside the door.
The one on the right has been dissected almost by Liu Fangzhou, only the limbs and a head remain. In order to test the accuracy, the five people gathered directly next to the operating table on the left. The zombie whose limbs were bound was attracted and screamed enthusiastically. To tear the next piece of fresh flesh and blood.
Tang Song personally injected the entire tube of medicine from the zombie's temple - the brain is the place with the highest residual activity in the zombie, this is to ensure that the medicine can be delivered to the whole body as much as possible.
The change starts with the eyes.
The zombie's turbid, bloodshot eyeballs suddenly stopped, and the gray-white color that symbolized death spread rapidly, and then quickly rotted, and soon there were only two empty black holes left in the eye sockets.
Followed by nose, cheeks, chin, neck, collarbone...
In less than half a minute, the whole zombie turned into a puddle of rotten black blood, and the skin and muscles slid off the bones like unclutchable mud. Soon, only a white skeleton remained on the dissecting table. , and a dazzling crystal nucleus lying inside the skull.
Except for Tang Song who stood still, the others couldn't help but take two steps back at the beginning of the rot, Liu Fangzhou covered his nose and widened his eyes, and muffled: "Damn it! This is... a success? "
"Success," Lin Ruan couldn't hide the joy on his face: "The essence of a zombie is a corpse, and the cells have long lost their vitality. It is only thanks to the zombie virus that they can have the function of activity, slow down or even stop the speed of body decay, once the zombie virus completely degenerates , Conforming to the original natural process and quickly rotting is their only ending, which shows that the vaccine has worked!"
"No," Tang Song pushed the frame, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, but his expression was extremely calm: "We are still one step away."
"The final experiment needs to be done on living humans infected with the zombie virus."
