Thompson looked at the test tube in Zhang Heng's hand, and a fiery look gradually appeared in his eyes.
As scientific madmen like them, they have no pursuits in their lives. Their only thoughts are to have a laboratory of their own, with more advanced instruments, the better; to have a project that they can research, and the more funds, the better. , the more magical the research object, the better.
I don't care whether I can solve it or not, it's mainly to satisfy my thirst for knowledge.
Apart from Zhang Heng, there is no one in the world who can meet these requirements.
However, just when he looked at the test tube in Zhang Heng's hand with some excitement, for some reason, an uncontrollable fear suddenly arose in his heart, as if the test tube contained something extremely terrifying. Natural enemies are like mice’s natural fear of cats. It is a kind of suppression in life form...
"I've given you the 'key'." Zhang Heng handed the test tube to Thompson with a meaningful look, "But whether you can open the door to God depends on your ability." With that said, Zhang Heng stopped talking nonsense and turned around to leave.
"Yuehua, keep an eye on them. If any accident occurs, seal the entire laboratory immediately and never let DX-1118 leak out!" After leaving the laboratory again, Zhang Heng suddenly spoke, with a hint of emotion in his tone. A murderous intention.
"Yes, but are you really willing to put Feng Lun's group of world-class biologists into such a dangerous situation?" Yuehua couldn't help but chuckle.
"The path they choose is their own." Zhang Heng nodded, "I have warned them before. If they still don't pay attention, then there is nothing I can do. After all, I cannot put the entire human civilization at risk just to save them. In danger…”
…
At this time, Thompson was holding the test tube with some trembling. The test tube had an extremely strange shape, more like an energy-saving lamp - it had transparent glass in the middle and complex silver alloy structures on both sides. It was about 20 centimeters long. .
These were nothing. What really frightened Thompson was that there was a flesh-worm-like creature inside the test tube!
This flesh bug seemed to be dead long ago. Its whole body was curled up, and it was only half the thickness of a finger. Its surface was dark red, without any skin or tentacles and other tissues.
It wasn't until Thompson took a closer look that he realized that this was not a bug at all, but a piece of biological meat!
However, this piece of meat gave Thompson an indescribable sense of fear. This is an instinct of life, but no matter what, humans actually fear a piece of meat
It seems that I am still too tired.
Thompson shook his head. He turned around and saw Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai looking at him eagerly. Then he smiled slightly and handed the test tube to the two of them. "Take a look at it, too. This is the goal of our trip." ”
The two of them quickly picked it up as if they had found a treasure. Feng Lun observed it for a while, suddenly frowned, and asked first, "Can any of you tell what this is?"
"It should be animal meat infected with some unknown prion, right?" Kong Zhongcai thought, "Didn't Director Zhang say that the target of our research this time is a prion?"
"I think this piece of meat seems to be a virus in itself." One of the assistants suddenly interjected, "I guess there is no need for the hive to use a piece of meat to preserve and culture the virus? This makes no sense at all."
Suddenly, everyone looked thoughtful.
After some discussion and research, only Thompson was noncommittal. Finally, he said, "No matter what the status of this piece of meat is, let's conduct a biological analysis first."
"clear."
Everyone immediately agreed, and then one of the smarter assistants directly started to prepare various instruments and took out the collection equipment. Then this team of assistants who cooperated perfectly did not need three people to do anything, and they had already prepared everything.
"Wang Hao, open the test tube and extract 0.1 mg of sample." Feng Lun handed the test tube to the assistant.
"Wait." However, Thompson unexpectedly stopped Feng Lun's move. He frowned, "Mr. Feng Lun, please forget what the boss said?"
"How could it be, but this is already a sterile laboratory, so there's no need to be too careful, right?" Seeing Thompson's displeasure, Kong Zhong quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Is this necessary?" Feng Lun frowned.
"I'm the director here." Thompson insisted, refusing to give in.
"Understood..." Kong Zhongcai and Feng Lun looked at each other and had no choice but to nod. In fact, as a Chinese, some codes of conduct are indeed not as rigorous as those of European countries, especially the UK, which is known to be rigid.
According to legend, British stereotypes can be clearly reflected in food. If it is Chinese cuisine, it would take several years to film "A Bite of China". However, if you want to film "A Bite of Britain", one day is enough. , that is to say, the British character is as difficult to change as their food.
At this time, Thompson, a British professor, showed his rigid side, and Feng Lun and Kong Zhongcai had no choice but to comply.
The assistant named Wang Hao had to spend a lot of effort to open the biological safety cabinet again, then put the test tube in, and then put his tightly wrapped hands through the holes into the gloves, and through the gloves The special strange test tube was opened in the biological safety cabinet.
"Chichi..."
However, when he opened the test tube, Wang Hao only heard a low vibration. He was still a little confused. But the next second, he only saw that the piece of meat suddenly came to life. When it came into contact with the material in the biological safety cabinet, After the air was released, the whole body shook widely, as if a suffocated person was breathing heavily!
"Ah!" Wang Hao screamed, threw away the test tube, and at the same time took his hands out of his gloves and backed away!
"Why are you so crazy?" Feng Lun had just taken away Thompson's anger, but now that he saw Wang Hao's performance, he was so angry that he immediately started scolding him.
"Professor Feng... that piece of meat, it..." Wang Hao's face turned bitter. He didn't mean it. He was about to say that the piece of meat came alive, but Thompson took the initiative to step forward. When he saw the biological isolation After the piece of meat started to squirm in the cabinet, I couldn't help but gasp!
"How can it be!"
Only then did Feng Lun and Kong Zhong sense that something was wrong. They didn't care about anything else and hurriedly gathered around. Suddenly, the three of them were completely stunned!
"What the hell is this?" Kong Zhongcai murmured, looking at the two of them, "Is it a new type of creature? Could it be a skinned little snake?"
"Impossible." Thompson said solemnly, "Don't forget, it has been sealed for at least ten months."
"I suggest that we first use CT to observe it to see what it is, and then we can know how to conduct research." Feng Lun also showed a serious look. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said to Thompson, "Professor Thompson, I'm sorry for the previous I apologize for the matter and hope that we can work together and have a happy cooperation in the future! ”
Thompson nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his rigid face, "Happy cooperation!"
