Chapter 605: Virus Codename "Omega"
Qin Yi and Hawkeye searched the research institute to see if they could find any useful information. There are still some documents left in the laboratory, but all computers have been destroyed, and it is believed that these files are not very useful. Sure enough, after checking it, the remaining files only indicated some viruses currently stored here.
"Marburg virus, Black Death virus, anthrax virus, sarin virus...... It's really everything. Qin Yi looked at the information of these viruses and sneered.
These viruses are some of the known viruses in the world, and they are all dangerous and deadly.
"It's not just these deadly viruses, there's also rabies, smallpox and dengue viruses like that's not particularly deadly. Hawkeye flipped through another batch of documents and muttered, "Looks like you're really trying to use the existing virus to breed a virus that works for us." Things are in trouble......"
Qin Yi put down the document in his hand, looked at Hawkeye and frowned, "Do you know anything?"
Hawkeye turned his face away from him: "You know, you've been retired for too long, and you shouldn't know these things." ”
"yes, but maybe I can help. Qin Yi said solemnly, "You can tell the priorities of the matter, right? Now that this research institute has been destroyed and the materials have been taken away, I don't say the reason, you should also know." ”
Hawkeye sighed and replied, "I know...... They had already destroyed the place before we came, so not to prevent us from finding anything from here to stop them, but because the purpose of this institute had been accomplished. ”
"yes. Qin Yi nodded, "So, you can decide for yourself." ”
Hawkeye groaned for a moment, then made up his mind and replied, "A while ago, an active agent died. It was the killer of the Truth, who sent me and Violet to investigate the matter. ”
"And?" Qin Yi frowned and asked, Hawkeye hugged his arm and gritted his teeth and said, "The autopsy report is very strange, there are no obvious wounds on his body, no gunshot wounds, knife wounds or blow wounds, no fractures, internal bleeding and various tissue injuries, but there are traces of injection holes. At first I thought it was the action of a poison like cyanide. ”
These super humans are not vulnerable to known poisons and viruses, but it also depends on the situation.
To be precise, poisons and viruses that can rely on the human immune system to fight are ineffective against them. The toxicology of cyanide is actually a chemical action, which combines with iron ions in cells in the human body, causing the human mechanism to appear abnormal and die quickly. Poisons with similar chemical reactions can have an effect on them.
It's just that this kind of poison often has a concept of "lethal dose", and poisons like cyanide often do not accumulate in the body, but will be sent out of the body with the human metabolism, so for super humans like them, the lethal dose may be more than that of ordinary humans, and the dose for normal people cannot kill them.
"However, what is the result of the autopsy report?" Qin Yi continued to ask.
"There were no signs of poisoning and the cause of his death was dehydration. Hawkeye played with the gun in his hand and replied lightly.
"Dehydration!?" Qin Yi asked in disbelief, "Then where did he die......
"At home of your own. "He reported to the organization before he died that he seemed to have been poisoned and had a high fever, and he died two days later. The cause of death was dehydration, some damage to the brain tissue, and nothing more. However, two days will not let him die of dehydration, not to mention that he is at home, so it stands to reason that he can completely replenish water. ”
"High fever...... Qin Yi groaned, "this is it...... I know the virus they've developed. ”
Hawkeye frowned and asked in disbelief, "You've thought of it, are you sure?"
"Yes, the answer is obvious, isn't it?" Qin Yi nodded: "They can't use poison against us, because the deadly poison that takes effect on us must also be effective on humans, so they chose to study new viruses." A normal virus is ineffective for us, but it is not completely ineffective. When our bodies are exposed to new types of viruses that we have not been exposed to before......"
Hawkeye said: "The immune system will work and enter a state of high fever......
"Exactly. Qin Yi nodded, "If they can keep us in a state of high fever and never get rid of the fever, then they can make us dehydrated because of the high fever, and at the same time, high fever will also cause brain damage." Here's the answer. ”
"But what virus can do that?" asked Hawkeye, puzzled, "even the most vicious Marburg virus is a fever for us for a few hours at most, and we can produce antibodies on our own." Is it really possible to find a virus that keeps us in a high fever until we die?"
"Note that when our body is exposed to a 'new virus', an immune response is generated. Qin Yi smiled and said, "Do you know what is the most terrible virus in the world? ”
"The Black Death killed 75 million people. Hawkeye replied.
Qin Yi shook his head: "Wrong, it's actually the flu." At the end of the First World War, there was a flu that infected one-third of the world's population, but the fatality rate was not high, so it was not taken seriously. But when it comes to infection rates, the most terrible virus in the world is the flu. Why? Because its structure is so unstable and it mutates very quickly. ”
"Indeed......" Hawkeye muttered with his chin propped up, "whether it is SARs or H1n1, as well as some new viruses that have emerged in recent years, they are basically mutant viruses of influenza......
"On the one hand, there are so many ways to infect influenza, it can be transmitted through the air, through body fluids, and even through other animals and insects, so it is much more viable than many viruses and can survive in many environments; Qin Yi explained.
"So, as long as we use the cells of our super humans to breed them, and then further increase its instability, so that the speed of its mutation is greatly increased, you can achieve that ......effect," Hawkeye muttered to himself, "The virus will continue to mutate in our body, continue to make our immune system fight against it, and then keep it in a high fever state for a long time......
"There is no doubt that the flu virus is indeed the most suitable virus to deal with us super humans...... Qin Yi nodded and said, "However, the virus is not used to kill us, I think the dead active agent may be just an accident, presumably no one knows his state, as long as someone takes care of it a little, he will not die." ”
"So, it's actually to weaken our ......," Hawkeye said unhappily, "Indeed, that's enough......
As he spoke, Hawkeye simply walked out: "Let's go, we already know the cause and effect of the matter, what we have to do now is to confirm the authenticity of this matter as soon as possible, and then take measures as soon as possible." ”
"Don't worry. Qin Yi interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "I always tell you that you can get twice the result with half the effort by clarifying your thoughts before you act." You said you want to confirm, do you have any direction of investigation, who to investigate, and where to investigate?"
Hawkeye said angrily, "You know?! Now there is no information, what can you know?"
"I know," Qin Yi said, raising an index finger, "First, this virus is extremely unstable and has an extremely high chance of mutating, which means that this virus still has a lot of unknowns, and it may not only infect us super humans, but it is very likely that even humans will be infected." So, they will inevitably prepare a response plan based on this. Their purpose is to maintain the balance of this world in our place, and if ordinary people are dead, how can they maintain the balance?"
"What do you mean...... Are they going to make a vaccine?" Hawkeye asked, frowning. Qin Yi and Hawkeye searched the research institute to see if they could find any useful information. There are still some documents left in the laboratory, but all computers have been destroyed, and it is believed that these files are not very useful. Sure enough, after checking it, the remaining files only indicated some viruses currently stored here.
