With great strength, the young man grabbed Shen Shi'an's wrist, and locked his throat with lightning speed: "Don't move, or you won't be able to keep your neck."
Looking up at Liu Fangzhou at the door: "Put down the weapon in your hand."
As soon as Liu Fangzhou came in, he grasped the tasseled spear tightly and approached the ball of pink light. At this time, the point of the gun was pressed against the back of the man with the injured right leg. Break free from the illusion.
Chen Nan and Xu Ge looked quite embarrassed, with wounds and blood all over their bodies, some of them were accidentally injured by teammates, and the other part was attacked by the enemy; He was about to rush towards Shen Shi'an. Shen Shi'an stopped the child in place with a single look, and he clenched his fists and stared at the boy, his dark green eyes were filled with murderous aura, shining with a bloodthirsty and brutal beast light.
The two sides each held a hostage, and they were facing each other across several rows of long experimental tables.
Shen Shi'an relaxed his body and asked the boy, "You were the one who fought against me for the first time?"
The young man was the one with extremely strong physical strength. He probably realized that he was about to break free from the illusion, so he pretended to be a weak and powerful person to lure him to attack—but judging from the fighting situation, the person with the ability The men's melee combat ability is also not weak. Such fighting skills are probably beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Responsive?" The boy's voice sounded a little frivolous, "Don't be too sad, you are not the only one who was fooled anyway. I remember that I kicked and broke one of your arms. Why do you look like you are fine? Do you have healing abilities?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." a low and suppressed roar sounded suddenly, the young man looked up and happened to meet a pair of eyes with extremely narrowed pupils: it is difficult to describe the look in those eyes with specific words , because that look seems to have completely out of the human category.
His heart was beating wildly, and several layers of cold sweat immediately oozed from his back. The young man didn't dare to delay, and tightened his arms again: "I said, put down the weapon, as long as we can leave here safely, I will release your people."
Chen Nan supported the wall and spit out a mouthful of bloody foam, and said with a sneer, "If you mess with us, you fucking want to get out of here safely today?"
The young man frowned slightly, and as soon as an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, he felt the arm clinging to Shen Shi'an's body suddenly go numb, and his whole body flew into the air as if hit by a shell, and slammed into the body behind him. The wall fell to the floor like soft mud.
Shen Shi'an withdrew the majestic energy accumulated on the surface of the skin, walked over and grabbed the neck to lift him up: "Don't move, or your neck won't be able to keep it."
The young man lifted his heels off the ground, and his delicate and lovely face quickly flushed purple. The man on the opposite side looked anxious, dragged his right leg and took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, "Don't hurt him, you have won, I will give you that thing."
Liu Fangzhou: "What?"
Boy: "No!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
The man and the boy looked at each other: "... Aren't you here to grab something?"
"Give you paralysis!" Chen Nan was attacked by someone for no reason, and today he was particularly angry: "I care about your broken things!"
Xu Ge's temper was a little better: "One of our team members is sick, so I want to come here to let him receive treatment, that's all."
The boy was held by the neck by Shen Shi'an, and his breath was a little uncomfortable: "Then you sneak in..."
"Hey," Liu Fangzhou was unhappy, and raised his spear and hit the man on the shoulder: "What are you talking about, this place is opened by your family, and they are all people who come in to collect supplies. Why are we sneaking around?" Is it? Then you turned on the surveillance at the first time, what's wrong, are you a guilty conscience?"
The man leaned against the table, and a pool of blood quickly accumulated next to his right foot: "We have been avoiding pursuit all the way, if we are not careful, we would have died."
Shen Shi'an put the boy on the ground slightly: "Are you from the military?"
The man looked at him, and after thinking for a while, he chose to tell the truth: "Forget it, it doesn't count, my lord Tang Song, a researcher at the State Secret Affairs Investigation Office. You can see it from our body? You and your companions You should have learned military martial arts, and this is one of the reasons why we mistook them for hunters." Now, if the other party is really a hunter, there is no reason to continue talking nonsense to them.
In just two sentences, the amount of hidden information is very considerable.
After the boy stood still, his breath became clearer, and his voice became much clearer: "We really can't blame us for this incident. As soon as we entered the door with our front feet, you caught up with your back feet, and you deliberately blocked the camera and touched it silently. No one can do it." I only think that you have bad intentions. Since you just want to treat the team members, it’s okay to just say no to the camera.”
Shen Shi'an asked back: "If we explained the situation to the camera and politely asked to enter, would you let us in?"
The teenager lowered his eyes: Absolutely not.
In the last days, people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows whether the other party is good or bad. To be on the safe side, it is estimated that they will directly throw an illusion to let them leave obediently.
Liu Fangzhou sneered: "We will do stupid things that even you don't know how to do?" Instead of passively waiting for others to offer an olive branch, of course, it is safer and safer to use force to confirm that the other party is not a threat, and then let your own side show favor. Who is stupid
The young man wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and once his frivolous tone subsided, his pale face looked weaker and more harmless: "Anyway, this is just a misunderstanding, I accidentally kicked your arm, and you kicked it too. My companion’s right leg was broken, two of your friends were slightly injured, and I was also seriously injured by you—everyone is evened out, how about shaking hands and making peace, as if nothing happened? Although this place We cleaned it up, but you and your companions are welcome to stay and rest, if you need any help from us, just say it, and it will be an apology to a few of us for our recklessness."
Chen Nan opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Shen Shi'an. After thinking for a moment, he let go of his palm: "It's not impossible to let you go."
The man named Tang Song asked: "What is your request?"
Shen Shi'an pointed to Shen Xun: "Let my son take a bite."
The teenager reacted quickly: "This kid's ability must be obtained from other people's blood, right?"
Shen Shi'an didn't speak.
"What if we disagree?" Tang Song asked after a moment of silence.
Shen Shi'an held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, his dark eyes were deep and quiet, and his brows were cold: "You have no right to choose."
Tang Song and the boy looked at each other for a moment, then stretched out their hand: "Bite."
Shen Xun walked over and grabbed his left hand and bit it hard, leaving two rows of bloody teeth marks. Tang Song frowned slightly, and took his hand back after the child finished biting.
When it was the boy's turn, Shen Xun left a deeper tooth mark on his wrist, and then "clicked" and broke his right arm.
The young man's face was as pale as paper, and a thin layer of sweat instantly oozed from his forehead, but he forcibly restrained himself from screaming. Holding his soft right hand, he smiled at Shen Xun: "Avenge your father, okay, I admit it."
Liu Fangzhou retracted the long tassel gun, Tang Song dragged his right leg and walked to the young man, his face was also pale due to massive blood loss, and asked Shen Shi'an: "Can we treat the wound first, don't worry, we will not leave, nor will we Any little action."
Shen Shi'an nodded, and signaled Gou Zijing to stare at them with his eyes, took out two bottles of mineral water mixed with Lingquan from the space and handed them to Xu Ge and Chen Nan: "How is the injury?"
The two shook their heads: "It's okay, it's all flesh and blood injuries."
Shen Shi'an asked Liu Fangzhou again: "Where is Xiong Manshan?"
"I'm guarding Brother Tao Yuan in the security room," Liu Fangzhou said, "After you came down, you all of a sudden used the communicator to ask me where the others were. I knew it was not good, and I must have accidentally caught the other party's way. I thought that even Brother Shen would be able to get tricked, so letting Brother Xiong come down was probably delivering food, so I let him stay Don't move yourself down - anyway, I can sense the position of you and the enemy, and the illusion is useless to me at all."
Shen Shi'an patted him on the shoulder: "Good job." Then he turned on the communicator: "Man Shan, bring Tao Yuan down."
In the next second, Xiong Manshan appeared in front of everyone holding Tao Yuan like a gust of wind: "What happened, everyone didn't... Oh, let me go, Chen Nan, Xuge, why did you two get like this?"
Chen Nan drank half a bottle of mineral water, and the wounds on his body had begun to heal, but the blood stains on his clothes looked a little scary. Liu Fangzhou applied medicine to the two burns on his chest and put on a bandage. He turned towards Tang Song and Tang Song in the corner and said, "Brother Xiong, you haven't seen each other yet."
Xiong Manshan turned his head and looked over: okay, one broken arm and one broken leg, it looks much more miserable.
Thumbs up to Xu Ge and the two: well done.
The second basement floor has a vast area, and the place where the two sides fought before was only a laboratory at the forefront. Shen Shi'an walked a few steps deeper, found a push bed and put Tao Yuan on it, measured his body temperature, and there was still no sign of a drop.
He found the medicine and gave him a fever-reducing injection, and hung up a bottle of drip. He was about to search up and down to see what equipment could give him a detailed examination, when Tang Song and the boy came over.
The wounds of the two of them have been treated with each other, the broken bones have been repositioned and splinted, the wounds have been sutured, disinfected and bandaged with medicine—Shen Shi'an has carefully observed that the two people's techniques are very professional, even he can't handle the wounds like this Clean and neat.
Tang Song looked at Tao Yuan: "This is your sick teammate? Does he have a fever?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "The fever doesn't go away."
"How many days did it burn?"
"Three days."
Tang Song's eyes lit up, he exchanged a glance with the boy, and then at Shen Shi'an: "Can I check for him?"
Shen Shi'an looked at Shen Xun, then took a step back: "Please."
Liu Fangzhou and others surrounded him, only to see Tang Song took the stethoscope from Shen Shi'an, moved the stethoscope head back and forth on Tao Yuan's chest several times, raised his eyelids and pulled out his tongue, and after a few minutes put the stethoscope back and forth. Returning back: "Except for the high fever, all vital signs are normal, and his physique is very healthy. Antipyretics are useless to him. You can use ice water or alcohol to physically cool him down. In addition, pay attention to supplementing glucose and nutrients. No problem." Yes. You should know that he is a precursor to evolution, right? Don’t worry, the longer the fever lasts, the better it will be for him.”
"Mr. Tang seems to understand these things very clearly," Shen Shi'an looked at him: "You said you are a researcher at the Secret Affairs Investigation Office, specializing in medical research?"
"You can say that." Tang Song nodded.
At this time, the atmosphere between the two parties was slightly relaxed, and the swords were no longer tense. Only then did Liu Fangzhou notice that this person was not only young, but also had a lot of aura in his gestures. His temperament is actually a bit similar to that of Shen Shi'an, both of which are colder, but Shen Shi'an is indifferent and alienated from unfamiliar people. He is usually a little cold, and when he is angry, he is frighteningly cold. Dare to approach rashly; while Tang Song seems to have put his mind on one thing, so he is indifferent to all other things—
If I really want to describe it, as long as I see him, I can imagine him standing next to the laboratory table in a white coat, glasses and medical gloves.
Even if the right leg was broken, the gentle aura was not affected at all: "Let me introduce myself again, I am Tang Song, the head of Huaguo State Secret Affairs Investigation Office, awarded the rank of major, mainly engaged in human biology and genetic engineering research. This is Lin Ruan, my student and assistant."
The boy named Lin Ruan added: "It's also Major Tang's bodyguard."
Shen Shi'an gave a brief introduction to the members of his party, and then asked: "You said that you have been avoiding hunting for something? What?"
Controlled by Shen Xun's spell, the two couldn't hide the secret from Shen Shi'an and the others, but it seemed that they didn't intend to hide it either.
Lin Ruan turned around and took out a backpack from a cabinet in a further research room, and took out a 30 cm high cylindrical metal can from the backpack.
Shen Shi'an recognized it: "Cryogenic storage?" The tank is filled with liquid nitrogen and other refrigerants, which are specially used to store biological samples.
Tang Song nodded: "We came here this time to replenish the refrigerant."
Liu Fangzhou was very curious: "What's in it?"
"The hope of developing a vaccine against the zombie virus."
The entire negative second floor was silent for more than ten seconds, and Xiong Manshan jumped up: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Tang Song took the metal jar from Lin Ruan, carefully placed it on the long table, and a frenzy flashed in his eyes: "This contains three blood samples from the eleventh flu patient in China, which were collected from the patients who mutated into After the zombies, before mutating into zombies, and before being infected with the flu virus, that is to say, it contains the only virus-free blood sample in the whole country or even the whole world that is still active."
Xu Ge didn't understand: "The only virus-free blood sample? What do you mean, aren't all the survivors infected with the virus? Just find someone to take a sample?"
Lin Ruan shook his head: "Everyone is infected with the virus."
Twenty minutes later, Tao Yuan, who was re-administered with glucose and nutrient drips and physically cooled with alcohol, rested on a trolley bed. Ruan is in charge of explaining.
"On February 5, 2019, which is the first day of the new year just after New Year's Eve, the provincial hospital of province y in my country received the first case of a new type of influenza. However, no one was alerted to it until seven days later, the second One hundred and three cases were officially brought to the attention of the Confidential Investigation Service."
"Major Tang and I were ordered to investigate. The 203 cases were scattered all over the country, but nearly one-fifth of them were concentrated in Province Y. On the fourth day after we arrived in Province Y, the number of cases across the country surged to 630. November 1. You should have an impression of what happened after that. There are more and more flu patients, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued an emergency warning. On April 3, the number of people infected with influenza in the whole country reached 740 million, which is half of the total number of people in China. During this period, we discovered a terrible fact: In fact, everyone is infected with the virus.”
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, Lin Ruan dragged over a whiteboard and marked several important time points with a marker.
"On February 5, 2019, before the first case of influenza, humans all over the world ingested the virus for some unknown reason. We call this virus the original virus. The original virus is actually harmless. It just stays in the human body without doing anything, and if the immune system does not reject it, it will not feel any abnormality, but if the immune system rejects it, flu symptoms will appear."
Shen Shi'an: "Allergic reaction?"
"Yes! That's what it means. The original virus itself carries a special substance. Some people are allergic to this substance, and some are not allergic. The ratio of whether they are allergic or not is almost exactly one to one. You can understand this as the original virus's effect on humans. First screening."
"At 9 o'clock in the morning on April 3, 2019, the original virus in the body of all influenza patients around the world suddenly mutated, launched a destructive attack on human cells, and quickly mastered the dominance of the human body, turning human beings into human beings driven by the instinct of devouring flesh and blood. Zombies, we call this virus a zombie virus."
Xiong Manshan raised his hand: "Does that mean that all flu patients died?"
Lin Ruan nodded: "There is absolutely no exception. In addition to the mutation of the virus in the body of the flu patient, the original virus in the other half of the human body also mutated at the same time, which we call the supernatural virus. Before continuing to explain, I I want to ask how much do you know about genes?"
Xiong Manshan raised his hand again: "Isn't it Di'an, I know that."
"To be precise, a gene is a fragment of dna that is effectively inherited. The genetic instructions it carries are the basis for the formation of life. They control the development and growth of organisms and the function of life. They determine how many fingers you have and the color of your eyes. , how high is your IQ, whether you are stronger in thinking or physical exercise—if you compare human beings to software, genes are the lines of code that formulate software programs. What you look like and what you can do is written down from the code It was decided at that moment."
"However, the dna molecule is very large, and the fragments that carry coding instructions and can be effectively inherited only account for 1.5% of the total dna sequence, while the remaining 98.5% are called 'junk dna', which remain silent during normal human life state."
Liu Fangzhou asked: "Does that mean recessive gene?"
Tang Song shook his head: "This is different from a recessive gene. A recessive gene is a gene that governs recessive traits. As long as it is homozygous and can still be displayed on the phenotype, it is still a valid genetic fragment." 'Junk' dna is more It's like a blank slate, it doesn't carry any genetic code, it can't affect the synthesis of any protein, which means it can be changed arbitrarily."
He took the pen from Lin Ruan and drew two spiraling lines on the whiteboard: "Everyone should know that human DNA is a double helix structure, which is composed of two long chains, and the inside of each long chain is repeatedly distributed. There are four nucleotide bases, and each base is fixed and complementary to another base. For example, if a certain position in a long chain is a base, then the opposite must be a t base , if a certain position is a c base, then the opposite must be a g base, this is the principle of complementary base pairing, two long chains can only be aggregated through specific pairing. Then when any one of the base positions is marked When it is messed up, it means that the sequence of the entire dna will be changed."
"The main purpose of the supernatural virus mutated from the original virus is to reprogram \'junk dna\'. Various supernatural powers are produced from this."
"This kind of writing is essentially an attack on the existing dna sequence, randomly changing the sequence of the dna, so as to output different performance characteristics. The weaker the person, the easier it is to be attacked by the supernatural virus, and the easier it is to be reprogrammed. Write the sequence, so the stronger the physique, the later the time to evolve the ability."
Xiong Manshan was dumbfounded when he heard that: "Then you are in bad health?"
"That's not the case." Tang Song sat down again: "When the dna sequence is rewritten by a virus attack to produce new life traits, the human body will have a certain rejection reaction, that is, fever. The longer the fever lasts, it means the virus rewrites. The more dna sequences you have, the deeper the degree of rewriting, and the more likely it is to evolve powerful abilities. Your friend has had a fever for three days, right? People with weak constitutions simply cannot survive such a long period of rejection During the process, you must know that not all people who are attacked by the supernatural virus can survive, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, there are not a few people who died of fever symptoms."
Shen Shi'an was thoughtful: No wonder feeding Tao Yuan's Lingquan water is useless at all. Lingquan water can strengthen the body, but inadvertently prolongs the time for Tao Yuan to fight against the virus.
Lin Ruan continued: "In addition to passively waiting for the supernatural virus to rewrite the DNA sequence, if an extremely violent mood swing breaks out in a short period of time, changing the biological environment in the human body, it will also stimulate the supernatural virus to speed up its attack."
Everyone subconsciously glanced in Xu Ge's direction.
Chen Nan thought for a while and asked, "Since all the survivors have this supernatural virus in their bodies, does that mean that everyone will eventually evolve supernatural abilities?"
Tang Song shook his head: "I just said that the change of the dna sequence is completely random. If you randomly type a line of code, is the line of code more likely to be effective or invalid? According to the information we have so far, Among all survivors, the proportion of people with supernatural powers can only reach one-twentieth to one-fifteenth at most. The rewritten sequences of the vast majority of people have no effect at all, and they are still 'garbage dna', and they will not feel it to any changes."
Xiong Manshan looked at the metal tank in the center of the long table with almost awe-inspiring eyes: "With this thing, can you really develop a method to eliminate the zombie virus?"
"It is not necessary to eliminate the zombie virus. The three blood samples here have recorded in detail the whole process of the patient's infection with the original virus and the mutation of the original virus into the zombie virus. By studying this process, we may be able to find a way to reverse the mutation of the original virus , causing the zombie virus to degenerate back into the original virus."
The survivors who are still alive are immune to the original virus. As long as the zombie virus can degenerate into the original virus, it will be completely harmless to humans.
Being able to resist the zombie virus is a matter of life and death for all human beings. Knowing that the vaccine is hopeful all of a sudden, everyone couldn't help feeling hopeful and excited, and their attitude towards Tang Song became more relaxed.
No one asked why they were hunted down. Everyone is not a fool. After the end of the world, the population of all mankind has been reduced by at least three-quarters. Those in power have reshuffled the cards, and people with supernatural powers have emerged. Now it must be a situation of multi-party opposition and division. What is the concept of a virus vaccine? Whoever masters the vaccine will grasp the lifeblood of all mankind. It would be strange if no one grabs it.
Liu Fangzhou stared at the metal tank for a long time, and thought of a question: "Now that you have figured out how zombies are formed, do you know why zombies cannibalize people? And they only eat people and not other animals?"
Tang Song crossed his hands on the long table: "I have a deduction. Although it has not been fully confirmed, it is at least 70% sure."
"You say you say you say it."
"Zombies don't eat people to eat, or because they think human meat is delicious. They eat people to obtain human DNA."
Get human dna? "Why?" Xiong Manshan was puzzled: "Don't they have their own, after all, they are all human beings."
"For evolution, to be precise, for the evolution of the zombie virus." Tang Song's voice was unhurried, with a texture between metal and jade, echoing on the long table: "The obtained human dna The more they have, the faster they evolve. Have you ever wondered how zombies distinguish between humans and the same kind? Not by taste, not by sound, nor by vision, but by DNA. When a zombie passes through After biting a human dna, the relevant dna information will be transmitted to all zombies within a certain range through the zombie virus, achieving an effect similar to 'information sharing'; when other zombies meet the next human or zombie, the information in its body The virus will obtain the opponent's DNA fragment through the virus in the opponent's body, and compare it with the existing DNA information database. If the person's DNA already exists, then it is of the same kind. Get new dna information."
"Wait," Liu Fangzhou interrupted subconsciously, "wait, wait, wait, according to what you said, can the viruses in different zombies or humans communicate with each other?"
Lin Ruan smiled: "Do you think it's incredible? But the communication between living things is the most incredible thing in the world. Studies have shown that a whale can share information with a whale on the other side of the earth. It is reasonable to say that it is completely separated on two continental shelves. Species that cannot communicate and interact, as long as species on one continent learn a certain skill, species on another continent can quickly learn it. Another example, everyone knows that bees communicate by dancing the figure-of-eight dance? Then How does the queen bee in the hive control other bees? How do the worker bees and the drones reach a consensus on the division of labor and cooperation? The hive is such a big place, so you can’t just dance whenever you have something to do. With our current level of technology , There is too little understanding of the communication methods between different organisms, and there are countless problems that are difficult to explain with modern technology and knowledge."
"It is the most likely inference that zombie viruses, supernatural viruses, and even zombie viruses and supernatural viruses can communicate with each other, so it can perfectly explain why the original viruses all over the world mutate at the same time, why Supernatural zombies can control other zombies. Why can zombies distinguish the difference between humans and the same kind, ordinary people and supernatural beings. The more zombies gather, the more dna information they can communicate and share with each other, and the faster the evolution rate. The easier it is to produce supernatural zombies."
Grass.
Everyone was suddenly shocked by the reorganization of the three views.
Xiong Manshan slapped his thigh: "According to this, the supernatural virus in our body will disclose our dna information to the zombie virus? Isn't that eating inside and outside? Han\'traitor! White-eyed wolf! We all have the same root Why are you in such a hurry!"
Tang Song said: "This should not be controlled by the supernatural virus itself. If we have to classify several viruses, then the zombie virus is higher than the supernatural virus and higher than the original virus. The virus cannot stop the prying eyes of the zombie virus."
"What if you pretend to be a 'signal'?" Shen Shi'an suddenly said, "Can you send wrong information to the zombie virus through the supernatural virus, so that they will mistake humans for the same kind and not attack?"
Tang Song glanced at him approvingly: "This is one of our planned research directions, but we have to wait until we have a better understanding of several viruses."
Shen Shi'an was silent, and then thought of another question: "If the more zombies gather, the more information exchanged between zombie viruses, and the faster the evolution rate, is it the same for the supernatural beings? The more supernatural beings gather, The faster the ability evolves?"
"That's right." This time it was Lin Ruan who spoke.
Chen Nan reacted first: "Noah's Ark!"
No wonder the captain spent so much effort to imprison the supernatural being! Moreover, the level of plant-type supernatural beings in Noah's Ark is obviously higher than his, so it is because of this!
It is estimated that the captain also discovered this rule through some kind of chance by chance.
After a brief understanding of the story of Noah's Ark, Lin Ruan continued: "Because of this, many small security bases across the country have begun to merge. Now there are mainly five large bases in Huaguo: the Changbai base in the far north, and the base in the far west. The plateau base, the Yunchuan base in the southwest, the island base in the south, and the capital base, the most central administrative center with the largest area and the largest number of people.”
Has a large base been established on the island? Does that mean that there are many survivors on the island
Shen Shi'an suddenly thought of Yun Feiyang who had returned to the island to look for his family, his thoughts surged several times, and finally calmed down slowly.
we will meet. They made an appointment and will definitely meet again.
Xu Ge discovered one thing: "Isn't there a base in the southeast coast?"
Lin Ruan's expression suddenly became a little heavy: "The population density in the southeast coast is too high, and there are only ten survivors. Those who escaped by chance were scattered to various bases in the inland, where the evolution of zombies is too fast. Avoid its edge."
"You two should not be the only ones researching vaccines," Shen Shi'an looked at Tang Song, "Is there any news about vaccine development elsewhere?"
Tang Song shook his head: "Not yet."
Lin Ruan sneered: "If it can be developed, there will be no need to send so many people to hunt us down."
Liu Fangzhou asked: "What about the abilities? Didn't the survivors evolve various abilities? Are there any abilities that can just restrain the zombie virus?"
"Currently evolved powers are mainly divided into seven categories: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, psychic, and spiritual. If I'm not mistaken, among you are wood, fire, spiritual, and Super energy department," Tang Song turned his eyes to Chen Nan, Xu Ge, Liu Fangzhou and Xiong Manshan in turn, and finally landed on Shen Shi'an and Shen Xun: "As for the specific abilities of these two, I haven't guessed it yet, maybe it's more or less. Ability? In any case, no ability to defend against the zombie virus has been found so far. Everyone, whether the ability user or ordinary people, will die after being infected with the zombie virus. But the higher the ability level of the ability person, the The stronger the resistance of the zombie virus, the slower the mutation speed; similarly, the higher the level of the zombie, the stronger the attack of the zombie virus it carries on humans."
"Have the survivors formulated specific standards for grading supernatural beings and zombies?"
"How long has it been since you have been in contact with the outside world?" Lin Ruan explained: "The level standard came out two months ago and was released by the capital base. All of them should be above the second level, and Mr. Shen is likely to have reached the third level. As for zombies, all zombies without superpowers are called low-level zombies, and the level division of supernatural zombies is similar to that of supernatural beings. The common ones are the first-level zombies and the second-level zombies. The number of low-level zombies that can be controlled is 10,000 and 50,000 respectively. The third-level zombies are rarely seen. There are no more than 20 zombies in the country, and they can control 100,000 to 200,000 at the same time. Waiting for zombies. In addition, it is said that a fourth-level zombie has evolved in the center of the magic city, and the number of zombies that can be controlled is as high as one million."
"Crap!" Liu Fangzhou couldn't help cursing: "Then how can you beat him? A zombie can drown you by spitting!"
Lin Ruan shrugged, there was no great fluctuation on her pale and delicate face, but a gloomy light was quietly hidden in her lowered eyes: "Do you think there are still people alive in the magic city?"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
After a long time, a loud stomach growl broke the silence.
Xiong Manshan blushed with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't eaten today..."
The group of people didn't even have time to eat lunch in order to hurry. After talking for such a long time, it seemed that it was time for dinner.
Shen Shi'an stood up: "Everyone eat first, and find a place to rest after eating."
The research center is fully equipped with water and electricity, and there is hot water for bathing, because everyone is exhausted, and they don’t bother to cook. They can directly boil water for instant noodles or heat fast food in a microwave oven.
Lin Ruan and Tang Song stayed alone on the other side and did not rush to disturb them.
After eating, Shen Shi'an led Gou Zijing and walked towards them, and each of them gave a bottle of mineral water: "It's good for your injuries."
Tang Song tactfully did not ask any further questions, took it and thanked him.
Shen Xun gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to wait for Lin Ruan's arm to heal before twisting it off again.
"Mr. Shen," Tang Song called to Shen Shi'an when he turned around to leave, "Tang has an unfeeling request and wants to discuss it with you."
Shen Shi'an stopped: "Say it."
"Can I take a blood sample from one of your feverish team members? Pulling out a hair will do if it's inconvenient."
Chen Nan and the others gathered around, their faces full of defense when they heard this: "What do you want!"
Shen Shi'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and the cold and glamorous color between his eyebrows became more dazzling and vivid: "Mr. Tang probably wants to take a sample more than once, is he going to take it again when he wakes up?"
Xiong Manshan was puzzled: "Hey? Why?"
"Comparing Tao Yuan's DNA sequence changes before and after he evolved the ability, confirm what kind of code determines his ability. In the future, it may be possible to artificially create a A person with supernatural powers. Mr. Tang, am I right?"
Tang Song nodded: "Exactly."
Lin Ruan said: "This is not a bad thing. Think about it, the evolution of zombies is so fast, the more supernatural beings there are, the more hope humans have to defeat them."
Shen Shi'an thought for a moment, then took a hair from Tao Yuantou and handed it to Tang Song: "Next time you take a sample, you need to wait for him to wake up and ask for his consent in person."
"Thank you." Tang Song took a test tube from Lin Ruan and carefully put his hair in it.
At night, the two parties rested separately, and Shen Shi'an and others took turns to take care of Tao Yuan, and they had nothing to say all night.
The next morning, when the sky was just getting bright, Chen Nan wrung out a towel from the ice water, and was about to put it on Tao Yuan's forehead, when he met a pair of radiant eyes.
"Brother Tao Yuan, you're awake!"
The author has something to say: This chapter has a lot of content, so everyone has been waiting for a long time!
The formation and operation principles of zombies are thoroughly explained. The previous foreshadowing about zombies and the problems left by Noah's Ark are finally resolved here.
