The Minaret Experimental Base is located at a depth of -723 meters above sea level. It is at a constant temperature all year round and there is no difference between day and night.
However, in order to prevent biological clock disorders, the Minaret Experimental Base still maintains the same schedule as the surface.
At seven o'clock the next morning, Chen Chen opened his eyes on time.
Then Little
"Tell them I'll be there after breakfast."
Chen Chen stretched, then quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to wash up, and then walked out of the room.
When they returned to the laboratory, everyone had arrived at their jobs.
"Boss."
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Chen nodded and looked behind him as if aware.
At this time, a wall was slowly rising behind the laboratory, revealing a closed isolation room behind the wall.
This is a biosafety isolation room, which is equivalent to a large biological safety cabinet. There are airtight valves at the inlet and outlet, and can be used to observe certain large experimental animals.
For example... people.
There was a hospital bed in this isolation room, and a black man was tied up with a belt on the hospital bed.
At this time, the man was in a coma, with his eyes closed tightly, and wearing a white hospital gown. In addition, it could be seen that his body was very strong and healthy.
Next to the hospital bed, there are various instruments densely placed, including ventilators, electrocardiographs, cardiac defibrillators, fully automatic gastric lavage machines and other equipment.
If an experimental subject has an accident during the experiment, emergency treatment can also be provided.
"Boss, we have performed a physical examination and disinfection on the experimental subjects. We can ensure that they do not carry any pathogenic microorganisms. In addition to this experimenter, there are four other experimental subjects on standby next door, ready to start experiments at any time."
The person in charge on the side reported to Chen Chenhui.
"very good."
Chen Chen nodded, "What about other animals such as rabbits and macaques?"
"In another laboratory, we did not mix these experimental subjects." The person in charge replied.
"In that case, let's start experiments on both sides at the same time."
Chen Chen said to Hannibal and Li Lei behind him, "Hannibal, you are in charge of the animal experiments over there, and Li Lei is in charge of the human experiments here."
"yes."
"clear."
The two agreed, and then the researchers in the laboratory were divided into two groups, each following their own team leader.
Obviously, this was the first time in Li Lei's life that humans were used as experimental materials, and he seemed a little nervous. He hesitated for a long time with a tube of virus, but never injected it into the black man.
"There is no need to be mentally burdened. These people are all extremely vicious criminals. We are using them as waste."
Chen Chen stood outside the isolation room and said calmly, "If you can't do it, you can leave it to your assistant."
"No, I need to do it myself."
Li Lei took a deep breath, shook his head and said solemnly, "I was just a little nervous for a moment. I will have to face this sooner or later. This will help train my mentality."
As he spoke, he inserted the syringe into the black man's arm and injected the combination of the ancestor virus and leech virus into the black man's body through intravenous injection.
"Start counting the time and be ready to treat Experimental Subject No. 1 at any time."
After giving instructions to the assistant beside him, Li Lei raised his hand to wipe away his sweat, but then he realized that he was wearing a fully enclosed protective suit and had no choice but to give up.
After exiting the isolation room, Li Lei walked to Chen Chen's side, also looked at the black man in the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "I don't know if this experiment will be successful..."
"If you are referring to transforming organic biological weapons, it will definitely fail this time."
Chen Chen said, "Human beings can hardly withstand the transformation of the T virus. The only outcome is to become a zombie. Therefore, as long as the experimental subjects are transformed into zombies, it can be proved that this virus is indeed a T virus."
Li Lei nodded.
Although he was a little curious about where Chen Chen got the virus in the movie, he was smart and didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't intend to delve deeper.
As a researcher, his curiosity should be on the virus itself. He does not need to know where the virus comes from, he only needs to know what role the virus can play.
As time passed, half an hour later, although he had not yet woken up, the man's face showed signs of turning from rosy to pale.
Not only that, sweat began to appear on the man's forehead, as if he was experiencing a lot of pain.
"His heart rate is increasing, currently from 65 to 110."
In the isolation room, an assistant quickly reported the report.
"It seems that the experimental subject is feeling a little uncomfortable. Do I need to wake up the experimental subject to collect data?" the assistant asked.
"You can try it." Li Lei nodded.
With that said, Li Lei entered the isolation room again and ordered, "Prepare to use the flumazenil antagonist drug. We need to wake up the experimental subjects."
But before he finished speaking, another assistant on the side suddenly said, "Team Leader Li Lei, the experimental subject seems to have woken up."
"What?"
Li Lei was shocked when he heard this, and quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, the black man opened his eyes at some point. Although he was still a little confused, he had indeed opened his eyes!
"Impossible. How could someone wake up so quickly from intravenous anesthesia?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen's expression suddenly changed outside the isolation room. It was obvious that this was the effect of the virus.
He also remembered that the most obvious function of the T virus is to accelerate the metabolism of an organism. In other words, as long as an organism is infected by the T virus, its own metabolism will increase exponentially.
Because of this, the intravenous anesthesia that could have lasted several hours allowed the black man to wake up in half an hour.
"Subject No. 1 is having a high fever."
Pointing the temperature measuring instrument at the black man's forehead, the assistant on the side reminded again, "The experiment shows that the current body temperature is 39.7 degrees, which is a high fever stage."
"Can you hear me clearly?"
Li Lei stepped forward, opened the man's eyes and looked at the pupils, then stretched out his hand and asked in English, "How many fingers should I extend now?"
"Three roots..."
As if because he had just been released from anesthesia, the black man spoke in an extremely weak voice.
"very good."
Li Lei said with satisfaction, "You have a serious infectious disease. Now please tell me, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I have a headache, chills all over, wait, where am I..."
"You are in the emergency center now and we are saving your life."
Li Lei replied, "But now it seems that the virus has begun to attack your immune system."
Next, it seemed that because his condition was getting worse, the man not only did not gradually regain his energy, but fell into coma again.
"The other party's fever has reached 41 degrees."
The assistant reminded, "At the same time, the heart rate has reached 150 beats, entering an extremely dangerous state, and cardiac arrest may occur at any time!"
"Prepare for rescue."
Two hours later, the man's face had become extremely pale, almost losing all color.
"drop!"
Suddenly, as an electronic sound elongated, the black man's electrocardiogram completely became a straight line, which meant that the black man's heart stopped beating.
"Stop his mouth, and everyone should be alert to the sudden explosion of Experimental Subject No. 1 and hurt others!"
Seeing this, Li Lei quickly issued an order, "The defibrillation electrodes are ready to be charged, 200J for the first time, three, two, one, discharge!"
As a sound of electric current came, an assistant placed the defibrillation electrode on the black man's chest and pressed the discharge device at the same time!
"boom!"
The black man trembled violently.
"No response, charge the voltage to 300J and continue!"
"boom!"
There was another sound of electricity, and then the long chirping sound of electricity suddenly stopped, and there was another rapid beeping sound.
"Experimental Subject No. 1 has restored its heartbeat!"
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously wanted to open the black man's eyelids to check the state of his pupils.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the black man suddenly opened his eyes and bit him fiercely!
It was only then that everyone discovered that this black man was no longer a human being, but a complete zombie!
