There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. It's just that this gentleman is not my lover. —Preface

After agreeing to Xiao Lian, I followed him back to Qingang. I thought that if I was working in Qingang, I would have to go through a lot of written entry procedures anyway, but I didn't expect that Xiao Jian would first take me to collect fingerprints, iris images, blood, etc. to collect my biological information. In a short time, he got a tiny chip. "Offended, Miss Chu. Before I could react, Xiao Lian picked up my right hand and quickly implanted it under the ulnar artery in my right wrist. Tsk, so skilled, you can see at a glance that you have done it before.

"The chip is so small that it doesn't interfere with movement, and it doesn't shift randomly after being specially fixed. Entering Qingang, no matter what identity you used to be, it will be erased. Now, Miss Chu is just a researcher in Qingang, and this chip stores Miss Chu's new identity information in Qingang, and Miss Chu can also rely on it to enter and exit Qingang. Xiao Lian said indifferently. I know very well in my heart that if the chip is implanted in such a tricky place, if you want to take it out by yourself, I am afraid that it is very easy to hurt the ulnar artery, and it is very likely that you will die like committing suicide by cutting your wrists. Qingang is really as rumored to be.

After saying this, Xiao Jian took out another bracelet and said, "This bracelet matches the chip in Miss Chu's body, which is the highest level of military encryption, which can be used for internal communication and viewing the real-time map of Qingang." As he spoke, he made a presentation and projected the map. "Please also pay attention to Miss Chu, the internal access to Qingang changes several times a day, and you must check the map at any time. ”

Well, that's the end of the explanation. I couldn't help but ask, "So what am I going to do now?" as I spoke, there was a knock on the door. "Enter. With Xiao Lian's voice, a young girl pushed the door in. "This is Pyran, she will be your assistant from now on, and she will take you to your office and laboratory in a moment. As for other specific matters, she will inform them in detail. ”

In this way, I joined Qingang and became a researcher at the Qingang Research Institute, where I led the research on the outbreak of infectious diseases.

As the saying goes, "in his position, he seeks his own government", and now that he has accepted this new identity, he cannot help but do things seriously. At this time, domestic experts were still disagreeing on the question of what kind of organism caused the disease.

Because the same parasite was isolated from the earliest patients, most people believe that the parasite caused the disease. But after looking at the samples handed over from the endemic area, I affirmed Xiao Lian: "Parasites can cause some similar symptoms, but the root of this infectious disease is not a parasite, but a virus that can live in the parasite." ”

"Why?"

"A careful analysis of the genomes in the diseased cells of these patients, compared with their normal cells, it is not difficult to find that their diseased cell nucleus genes are integrated into a similar sequence. I took a deep breath, "And that, only a virus can do." ”

"Oh, so why don't other people think it's a virus?"

"Perhaps because these patients who are alive are now infected for a relatively short period of time, and the virus is still in the incubation period, there are no obvious symptoms of viral infection. However, according to the survey, once in the active phase, the course of the disease progresses very quickly, which increases the difficulty of sampling and causes insufficient samples. That's why most people think it's caused by a parasite rather than a virus. "Soon, the second wave of infections will probably be free of the parasite." ”

"So, I need someone who can go to the ward for me overnight and bring back samples from the second wave of infected people as quickly as possible. ”

So, soon, Xiao Lian brought a person.

Oak.

"Well, you want a helper. Xiao Lian has always been serious, but when he introduced this person, he actually added a little frivolity to his tone. I was thinking about where the person who came was sacred, and when I looked up and saw this gentleman's face, I couldn't help but be surprised.

A face that looks three or five points similar to Qiao Xun.

I was in a trance, and when the man spoke, his thoughts were dragged back. "I don't know what Miss Chu commands?" The cold and low sentence made me sure that this person was not Qiao Xun.

Qiao Xun's words are always full of enthusiasm and banter, and he will never be as cold as this person. Take a closer look at this person's face, a standard face of a country C person is not a mixed-race face like Qiao Xun at all. I couldn't help laughing at myself, Chu Youyi, Qiao Xun is dead, you watched him die, what are you still thinking? What else do you have to think about?

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Lu. When I saw Mr. Lu, I thought of an old man, and I ask Mr. Lu to forgive me for the rudeness. I continued, "I also want to trouble Mr. Lu to go to the epidemic area to help me get something." ”

After I contacted the person in charge of Qingang in the epidemic area, I briefly explained to Lu Li the precautions for taking samples: "After arriving in the epidemic area, the person in charge will hand you a sealed and treated suitcase, which should be prepared. Other than that, the sooner you come back, the better. ”

After listening to what I said, Lu Li's mood did not fluctuate, he still looked cold, turned around and left. I didn't know why, so I quickly stopped him and asked him what he was going to do. "Go to the endemic area. He replied without looking back.

Look, it's a treasure of words.

I didn't expect that although this Lu Li's personality is not very likable, his work efficiency is quite high. In one night, the samples were sent back.

Sure enough, almost no one in the second batch of patient samples sent back by Lu Oak was infected with the parasite. However, there is also a question: why are there almost no complete individuals of the virus in these people, except for the very short period of acute infection? It's just that it seems that the heat is not well grasped, and the host dies due to excessive force. This approach of only changing the host genome is not in line with the goal of virus reproduction.

"It stands to reason that viruses parasitize the human body only to reproduce offspring. For viruses, killing people is a matter of passage and not an end in itself, and everything they do should be done to produce more offspring. I thought to myself.

In any case, saving lives is important. As far as infectious diseases are concerned, if there is no way to prevent them, clinical treatment alone cannot be cured. Based on the extracted small amount of intact virus, it took three days to urgently tackle key problems and develop the first batch of vaccines, which matched the treatment methods found in clinical practice, so that the arrogance of the disease, which had been raging for nearly a month, began to converge.

Seeing that this inexplicable plague was coming to an end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that the suspicion about the culprit of this disaster has been hovering in my mind and lingering.

So, I decided to go and look where the disease first broke out to see if I could find any clues. It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Li, who had little cold words, would go with me.

In view of my sluggishness in human affairs, I really couldn't figure out what this thing meant, so before leaving, I went to Tan Yi to discuss countermeasures.
