Cardin and Erdova are very rare to stay together, both of them have two panda eyes, obviously they haven't slept all night, but there is no tired or haggard expression on their faces, and even some excitement and fanaticism, in addition to them, Bingning, Leng Rui and the directors are all there, and Jonathan even squeezed his eyes.

"Why are you two so excited, have you isolated the strain or discovered the antibody?" Wang Ling was confused.

"Then you're probably thinking about fart, if we can defeat the Apostle of the Epidemic so easily, then we're all here to go. ”

"This is a soul hunt, you two can still go to heaven if you don't mix here?"

“… Well, don't be poor with you, come and see this, Prophet, turn on the 3D projection. After Cardin and Erdovar motioned for Wang Ling to sit down, spotlights stretched out from all corners of the conference room, projecting sphere-shaped objects in the open space in the middle of the circular conference table.

"This is the substance in that test tube that we extracted, you see what it is. ”

Leng Rui and the others obviously didn't pass through the qi in advance before Wang Ling came, there were some similar aqueous solutions around those spheres, and the spheres trembled slightly up and down, exchanging some particles with the aqueous solution outside from time to time, "This should be... Cells?"

Cardin slapped his face, and Leng Rui's answer was affirmed, and then Cardin said in a mysterious tone, "To be exact, this is a somatic cell." ”

Is it human cells? In other words, it is likely to be the body tissue of the Apostle of the Plague?

"When we first got that test tube, we also wondered what it was in, was it a virus, a bacterium, or some kind of fungus? Hell, what word should I use to describe him? ”

"They have a will. Erdovar interjected, and in the midst of everyone's puzzled gaze, he continued, "At first, we thought it was a paramecium-like single-celled organism because the cells all existed independently, but when we tried to inject antibiotics into them, we found that they coalesced at a very fast rate. ”

The projection picture changed, the spheres were quickly crowded together, and the outermost cells were gradually necrotic, but there was nothing wrong with the inside.

Cardin pointed to his temples and said in a trembling voice, "They communicate in a way we can't understand, and we thought there would be a wolf king-like being to command these cells, because what these cells do is so much like a leader giving orders." They are obviously not connected, but they can eerily move, change, and even evolve synchronously, like... It's like an organ or tissue. That leader, it's like... Out of thin air. ”

"What exactly are you trying to tell us, you two, is this thing the body cell of the Apostle of the Plague, and if so, is it of any value to us?" Roland asked with a frown.

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll show you. Cardin snapped his fingers, and the aggregated cells scattered back, and then he grabbed it from the void, and a cloud of other cells appeared in the projection.

"This is the cell tissue that one of our Field Support Department volunteers provided, let's call it Sample 1. With that, Cardin slid the image cells towards the strange pile of cells of the Apostle of the Plague.

I saw only the apostles of the plague

As if a jackal had smelled blood, the cell tissue quickly spread out and pounced, surrounding the sample 1 in a clump, and then slowly attached to it.

"And then? I don't feel like anything has changed?" said Jonathan, who couldn't help but ask, as the two cells didn't seem to change other than being close together.

"That's right, you read that right, it just hasn't changed, in our first experiments, these cells didn't have the slightest effect on people who had blood flowing in our veins. Cardin nodded, but he immediately saw the extremely unhappy and impatient expressions of the directors, and quickly continued, "Everyone, look at it, this is sample 2 that I took from the city's gene bank and sample 3 provided by our colleagues in the information department. ”

Two more cells appeared in the air, Cardin first slid the sample 2 that belonged to the ordinary person, and immediately some of the apostle's cells fell off from sample 1 and rushed towards sample 2, just like just now, those cells slowly leaned up, but this time a different situation appeared, the cell membranes of the apostle of the plague and sample 2 seemed to be fused together, it looked like the inversion of the division of the fertilized egg cell, and the two cells formed a new cell at a very fast speed.

Then, after a short pause, the one began to split again, and at a very fast pace. Soon all the cells of Sample 2 have been replaced by this new cell after fusion.

"WTF?" Leng Rui shook his head, "How did he do that?

"No, he's devouring. Erdovar opened his mouth, "It's like a macrophage, but it's not for digestion, it's for assimilation, and he swallows everything in that body cell, including DNA strands, genetic material." And then..."

Sample 3, which belonged to the Commissioner of the Ministry of Information, was also slid over, and the fused cells pounced, of course, the Commissioner of the Ministry of Information naturally had abilities, but they were like Barbara, who were usually not offensive oracles.

This time, the results began to change, and after the two cells got closer, the cell membranes began to fuse, although the speed was very slow, but it was indeed fused.

"Is this evolution?" Wang Ling bit his finger and looked at the two old gangsters.

"It can be said to be evolution, but I think I should probably use the word "complement", whether the substance in the test tube belongs to the apostle of the plague or not, it can be perfected by devouring it many times, if it is more objective, that is, when the number of infected generations reaches a certain level. ”

"Even we can get infected, can we?" said Bing Ning faintly.

Cardin nodded, "I know this result is terrifying, but this is the truth, at the beginning he could only infect ordinary people, and now it is very likely that a colleague from the Investigation Department has been infected in New Zealand, and when he completes to a certain extent, our senior commissioner of soul hunting will only be infected as a mourning result when facing him." ”

Roland and the other directors had solemn faces, they naturally knew about the disappearance of Barbara in the New Zealand branch, this kind of substance has been completed to the stage of the ability, even if it is basically the lowest bloodline, it is already a very bad start.

"Damn, no wonder I feel that from Malan to Andrew, to Scott, how is it getting harder and harder to deal with, and the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger. Wang Ling couldn't help but scold, "If one day we reach the level of Leng Rui, then we will have to break a few people if we want to kill him." ”

"Fuck off, don't curse me. Leng Rui glared at Wang Ling.

"We're going to have to speed things up, and the Australian branch has sent some commissioners to New Zealand, where they'll help the New Zealand branch to see if there are any remnants of the dead in the territory. We've notified all the branches of the state of emergency, Barbara hasn't registered from any airport or port, but we can't be sure where she's going, we've trained her on how to fake her identity, we've taught her how to counter-reconnaissance, and we can conclude that if she's really infected and killed, then she's a little more intelligent. ”

"Eldoba, you said you have another piece of information, good news or bad news?"

"Good news. ”

"Say it. ”

With a flick of Eldova's hand, the samples were gone, and the Apostle of the Plague's cells reverted to their original appearance, the one they had just been taken out of the test tube. Then, Erdovar clicked on the computer a few times, pulled out a black and yellow logo that looked like a fan, and bounced near the cell.

"Look, this is Sample 1," Cardin pulled back the cells of the Field Support Officer from the library and threw them into the air, then Erdovar reached out and clicked on the ionizing radiation sign, and then the astonishing situation appeared, those cells and tissues of the Apostle of the Epidemic actually became excited, and Sample 1, which could not be shaken at all, was completely infected by it in just a few seconds.

"Nuclear radiation, which can enhance the abilities of the Apostle of the Plague?"

"Judging by the results of the experiment, it looks like this. Cardin and Erdova nodded in tacit agreement.

"That's good news!" Roland was stunned for a long time, then slapped the table, he glared and asked, "If you tell me that nuclear radiation can kill him, then we can't fight in the end, at least there is a way to lose nuclear bombs and destroy the city and protect the world, and now you tell me that nuclear radiation can make him stronger?kidding me? You just told me that this thing is a mini version of Godzilla, an atomic bomb directly full of blood, right?"

"Sorry, don't get excited. Cardin raised his hands in surrender, "Even if I don't say it, the reason why I say he is good news is because the nuclear radiation allows him to replenish much faster than the infection, and if Barbara is really very smart at this time, she is more likely to choose this way than to spread the infection through a wide net." ”

"Then we just need to focus on the places where we can produce nuclear radiation, and we won't be so blind. ”

"To put it simply, there are more nuclear countries in the world, illegal nuclear countries and anti-nuclear countries than the number of fingers on your two hands, and every nuclear country has many nuclear power plants, and the places where nuclear waste, nuclear bombs, and centrifuges are stored are even more numerable, so not to mention all kinds of nuclear-powered ships, this range has been narrowed?"

"That's right, this nuclear radiation is not what you think, she won't be stupid to destroy the reactor, because then even if the radiation doesn't work for her, the heat and shock waves generated can destroy her, all she needs is pure radiation, unlike the monster movies you watch. ”

"Are you talking about nuclear leakage?" Wang Ling said after thinking about it.

"Full marks!" Cardin gave Wang Ling a thumbs up, "That's what I'm going to say, nuclear leakage, nuclear radiation is fatal to us, all the places where nuclear leaks have occurred have basically become dead cities and forbidden areas, but this is no threat to the mourners, and at the same time, it can perfectly avoid our threat... Great place. ”
