"This is indeed a good solution, thank you very much. But now I want to see the Nibelungen jellyfish, what does this culprit look like? ”

"Of course, please come with me." Dr. Ron nodded.

Zhou Qing got up, patted Li Qian's shoulder and said, "You and Han Li are also tired this way, hurry up and take a good rest!" ”

As Zhou Qing walked, he and Dr. Ron discussed their research progress.

Dr. Ron suddenly stopped and said to Zhou Qing, "Professor Zhou, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Please." Zhou Qing could see that it must be very important for him to let someone like Dr. Ron say "reluctance".

"I noticed your brother Zhou Yu, with a night spirit. I heard that this night spirit grew up with him and only obeyed his orders, we want to do some very simple research on this night spirit, and we hope that you can help us convince Zhou Yu that we promise not to harm this night spirit. ”

"Of course you can, but even if you try to hurt it, it's unlikely to be. The potential of the night spirit is limitless, and so far it seems that the power of the night is more powerful than any A-class creature we know of. ”

"Thank you very much, we just listened to Dr. Carlos study some of the intelligence issues of the Eidolens, and we heard that their IQ is far higher than that of humans and their learning ability is very strong, and we are just curious if they can adapt to human society."

"It's not about whether it can adapt to human society, it's about whether human society can accept it."

Dr. Ron gave a rare smile, "It's true, the creatures of the Nibelungen may seem terrifying, but they are far simpler than humans. ”

When Zhou Qing followed Dr. Ron to the place where the Nibelungen jellyfish specimens were stored, Zhou Qing was completely stunned.

It's a pool-sized transparent storage with a giant Nibelungen jellyfish soaked, and it looks so quiet that it doesn't spin or float like it's asleep in the water.

This reminded Zhou Qing of the fairy tale of the sleeping beauty, as if as long as he kissed, he could wake it up from its slumber.

Its translucent body refracted the light of the storage room, like a giant skirt that enveloped the entire space. The walls of the room are dyed with a faint transparent gold because of it.

"In order to preserve it, we have used up nearly a year's supply of formalin at this base." Dr. Ron said.

"Oh my God...... It's beautiful. ”

It's like a spirit, like the work of a god, and you can't take your eyes off it.

Zhou Qing half-tilted his head, and his open mouth couldn't close at all.

"The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is, and don't forget the virus it carries." Dr. Ron reminded with his arm behind his back.

"Yes...... I'm just wondering, why aren't all the creatures of the Nibelungen so simply beautiful? ”

"Because simple beauty is too easy to be ruined. For the good to last for a long time, it must be cruel. Dr. Ron replied.

"Who said that? What's your summary? Zhou Qing asked with a face.

Dr. Ron shook his head and said, "This is not my summary, but the exact words of my predecessor, Dr. Jiang. He was a leader in the field of virus research, but because there was a virus epidemic in our human world, he went back. If he's still here, I bet he'll be able to develop a vaccine for you in less than a day, and he'll leave behind a lot of research on the Nibelungen jellyfish virus before he left, and I'll call them up for you as a reference. ”

"Thank you very much." Zhou Qing raised his head and continued to look at the huge jellyfish, and suddenly a trace of curiosity about that Dr. Jiang surged in his heart.

At this time, the virus sampler slowly moved the lid at the top of the huge storage vessel through a gap and stretched the sampler down.

Zhou Qing's heart suddenly became nervous, he looked up at the sampler and tapped lightly on the jellyfish's body, the jellyfish suddenly trembled as if it had been electrocuted, and the light in the entire space was twisted and twisted one by one.

"Don't worry, it's because the static electricity on the sampler reacts with the jellyfish." Dr. Ron explained.

"Of course, it's impossible for any creature to be alive after being soaked in formalin solution for so long." Zhou Qing smiled.

At this time, all the researchers and field team members in the base cafeteria were eating, and the side dishes were simple, just bread and milk, but it was already very tasty for them.

Mo Ye lay on the corner of the table, looking intently at the food on Zhou Yu's plate, and from time to time he lowered his body to sniff with his nose. This was the first time he had smelled buttery bread, and I had to say that although it was just bread, the treatment given to them at Base 2 was good.

"It's been a long time since I've smelled butter, and the last time I went to Area 12 with you to bring the supply cart back, I ate two brioche breads." Wu Yun sighed.

Zhou Yu broke the bread, broke out the softest heart, and stretched it to the lips of Mo Ye, who was lying next to him.

"Try it, at least it's better than green beans and carrots." A shallow smile rose on Zhou Yu's lips.

Han Li opened his mouth and said, "It's really rare, Zhou Yu, I have almost never seen you laugh." ”

Mo Ye narrowed his eyes and seemed very happy, first he stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly on the bread, then he shrunk his shoulders and narrowed his eyes as if to reminisce.

"Do you like it? If you like it, eat it. ”

But Mo Ye stretched out his front paws, pushed the bread back to Zhou Yu's lips, raised his chin as if to say: I'm not hungry, I'll give it to you.

"Uh...... Is it really good for you to show affection like this? Wu Yun was very dissatisfied.

Mo Ye looked over and seemed to say: I'll beat you!

Zhou Yu raised his hand and rubbed Mo Ye's head.

And just like that, night fell. Viral research on the Nibelungen jellyfish has also begun.

Several researchers observe samples of the virus in the room.

"You see, this virus is different from ordinary viruses, it is not spherical, coronal, brick or tadpole...... It's smaller and more flexible than normal viruses......"

"And you see this part of it is a bit like the virus of influenza A, so that it can be genetically recombined in a short period of time to evolve a new type of strain, so that its infectivity is multiplied. And this section is very similar to the characteristics of a haemorrhagic fever such as Ebola or dengue, but this virus is more rapid than Ebola...... This is truly the most terrible virus I've ever encountered. I heard that Dr. Jiang is decoding the virus, and he is only one step away from researching a disease-resistant □□. ”

"It would be nice if he was here...... Maybe we've already returned to the base with anti-disease □□. ”

After studying for most of the night, the researchers became sleepy.

"I'm tired, Dr. Yao...... I want to close my eyes and rest for five minutes. ”

"Okay, Dr. Shen, you go to sleep first. I continued to look at the research records left by Dr. Jiang. Dr. Yao replied.

But in less than a minute, Dr. Yao, who was consulting the information, also became sleepy, he rubbed his eyes, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell asleep on the table.

I don't know when, a sound like a silver bell sounded in my ears, connected together, as if coming from another world.

Dr. Yao opened his eyes, and he was surprised to see a woman dressed in white sitting in the corner of his table.

Her eyebrows and eyes are like ink in a landscape painting, and the smile on the corner of her lips makes Dr. Yao's heart flutter. A long black hair fell down as she leaned down towards Dr. Yao, brushing Dr. Yao's cheeks with an intoxicating glow of gold.

"You...... Who are you? Are you a researcher at the base? Dr. Yao asked stupidly.

The woman kissed Dr. Yao on the lips, and the wonderful feeling of that moment almost took Dr. Yao's breath away.

The flow of time stands still.

The next morning, Zhou Yu was woken up by Zhou Qing.

"Brother-brother-you get up! Something happened to Dr. Yao! ”

Zhou Yu was suddenly startled, he didn't expect that he would sleep so well. Because there were not enough rooms, he and Wu Yun and other field staff slept directly on the floor of the restaurant.

Mo Ye didn't care about Wu Yun's ridicule, he must stick to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu pillowed on Mo Ye's body, and Mo Ye spread his wings to cover Zhou Yu. The whole body was warmed by the ink night, which was probably the reason why Zhou Yu gave up his vigilance and fell asleep.

"What's wrong with Dr. Yao?"

He ...... He didn't know what was going on, he fell into the Nibelungen jellyfish's storage vessel and drowned......" Zhou Qing showed a sad expression, and Dr. Yao was an alumnus of the same high school as him.

"What? Drown? Isn't he working on viruses? What are you doing where the specimens are stored? Zhou Yu felt that this was not just as simple as drowning.

Wu Yun also got up, "Go!" Check it out now! ”

Since Dr. Yao was escorted by Zhou Yu and Wu Yun, Dr. Ron couldn't stop them from going to the scene to make sure.

When they saw the giant jellyfish specimen, they subconsciously let out an exclamation.

In the formalin solution, Dr. Yao floated between the skirts of the jellyfish, and his face had a serene expression, as if he had just fallen asleep. But fools know that he can't still be alive.

Wu Yun swallowed his saliva, pointed at Dr. Yao and said, "He...... How did he fall in? ”

Dr. Ron sighed, "Please follow me." The whole process was recorded by the surveillance. ”

When everyone followed Dr. Ron to the monitoring room, Zhou Yu subconsciously turned around and found that the skirt of the jellyfish was slightly raised, as if it was slowly turning. Just because it's so huge, this qiē looks like the effect of light refraction.

But Mo Ye did not leave, but looked up silently.

"What's the matter, Moye? Any questions? When Zhou Yu came to its side, Mo Ye bit Zhou Yu's trouser leg and asked him to leave.

At this time, the staff in wetsuits, wrapped all over, sneaked in through the lid on top and brought Dr. Yao's body out of formalin.

He was placed in a sealed bag pending further autopsy.

Zhou Yu and Wu Yun came to the monitoring room and saw what happened last night.

Dr. Yao left the lab at three a.m. at the base and walked to the place where the Nibelungen jellyfish were stored. He opened the lid of the storage dish, holding the sampler in his hand, but just as he lowered his head to take the sample, the whole person suddenly toppled into formalin.

"My God......" Wu Yun covered his eyes.

Perhaps because Dr. Yao's fall broke the peace in the storage vessel, the Nibelungen jellyfish soaked in liquid slowly swirled and floated, and as Dr. Yao struggled, he was gradually enveloped by the giant jellyfish, and then he lost the strength to struggle and gradually drowned.

Dr. Shen, who was in the same laboratory as Dr. Yao, felt extremely guilty, he covered his face and wept bitterly: "I didn't mean to...... I'm just too tired and want to sleep for a while...... I told him that he just wanted five minutes of sleep! He must have found something in the research materials left by Dr. Jiang, so he had to take a sample to confirm it! If I hadn't fallen asleep, I would have been able to go with him! I'll be able to hold him and not let him fall!" ”

"It's not your fault. It was just an accident......" Dr. Ron comforted Dr. Shen by the shoulder.

Ron turned his face sideways and met Zhou Qing's gaze, and the two nodded clearly.

Dr. Ron returned to the Nibelungen jellyfish's storage room and gave orders to bioscan the specimens.

"Do you also think Dr. Yao's walking posture is strange?" Zhou Qing came to Dr. Ron's side and asked in a whisper.

"Yes, it doesn't look like he's extremely tired, it's like he's drunk." Dr. Ron stared coldly at the Nibelungen jellyfish specimen, "We can't measure the creatures here by the creatures of the human world. I now suspect that the jellyfish had only been dormant all along, perhaps because previous sampling had touched its nerves and caused it to wake up. Maybe it lured Dr. Yao in some way, or maybe because Dr. Yao was too close to its secret, the jellyfish had to kill Dr. Yao before the virus could be decoded. ”

"Any idea that originally sounded fantastical is reasonable suspicion here." Zhou Qing replied.

However, after a comprehensive biological scan, no signs of life were found on the Nibelungen jellyfish, and its cell activity index was zero.

"So it's really just a specimen?" Zhou Qing asked not very sure.

"I'll send someone to monitor its biological activity 24 hours a day." Dr. Ron replied that this was the best solution at the moment.

Zhou Yu and Mo Ye had been staying in the cafeteria, and several researchers had been watching Mo Ye from a distance, eager to come up and observe, but they didn't dare to approach. Mo Ye deliberately raised his wings and showed a hideous expression towards them, and the faces of these researchers changed instantly, and they immediately ran away.

Wu Yun, who was also bored, laughed.

Zhou Yuye also rubbed Mo Ye's head: "You little villain, be careful that Dr. Ron doesn't give you food." ”

Mo Ye looked at Zhou Yu with wide eyes, and Zhou Yu knew that this little guy was pretending to be innocent to win his sympathy again.

"Don't look at me like that, it's useless."

Mo Ye leaned in and deliberately used the tip of his nose to push the back of Zhou Yu's hand, Zhou Yu put his hand away, Mo Ye chased after him, and quickly took Zhou Yu's finger in one mouthful.

It wrapped the tip of its tongue around Zhou Yu's fingertips, but it was not in a hurry to bite down, but looked at Zhou Yu with its eyes, with an expression that it was very well-behaved and would not bite without Zhou Yu's permission, but Zhou Yu knew very well that if he didn't let it eat enough, it would definitely stay by his side and make himself unable to do anything.

At this time, the dissection of Dr. Yao began.

There were a total of 3 automaters at the scene, and they all turned on the video camera, and when they first cut open Dr. Yao's abdominal cavity, countless pale golden and transparent Nibelungen jellyfish flowed out of his abdomen.

The dissecter in charge of the knife was startled and stepped back, and Dr. Yao's body seemed to melt in an instant, and the flesh was blurred and strewn on the dissecting table, leaving only white bones.

"Oh my God...... What's going on? ”

At that moment, the jellyfish on the ground suddenly moved, clinging to the bodies of the three dissecters.

"Go away! Go away! The dissecter brandished his scalpel and poked at the jellyfish, but could not penetrate their bodies.

Soon, the bodies of the three dissecters were covered in the jellyfish, and they fell to the ground, twitching and trying to grab the jellyfish with their hands, but their hands were also devoured by the jellyfish. As if their bodies had melted away, the jellyfish squeezed into their flesh and blood, frantically sucking up nutrients.

"Why hasn't Dr. Yao's autopsy report been sent yet?" A few hours later, Dr. Ron, in a very strange way, opened the communication in the dissection room and called for a long time but no one answered.

He immediately connected to the surveillance of the dissection room, and found that all three dissecters had turned into a pool of blood, and the scene was horrific.

"This situation is like being infected by the virus of the Nibelungen jellyfish......" Zhou Qing's gaze sank, and things were more complicated than they thought.

Dr. Ron immediately sealed off the dissection room, and quarantined all personnel who had come into contact with the room.

"Could it be that the Nibelungen jellyfish virus was transmitted by Dr. Yao?" Dr. Ron pursed his lips in thought.

Zhou Qing proposed: "Let's hurry up and check the whole process of dissection!" ”

When they saw the palm-sized Nibelungen jellyfish killing the dissecters in the surveillance, Zhou Qing finally understood.

"The giant jellyfish is not dead, it has been sleeping as it seems."

Ron gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe formalin is not suitable for its survival, so it directly stopped all its cell activity and waited for a suitable environment." We've all been fooled by it! It's been here since I took over this base! It not only fooled me, but also Dr. Jiang, who has been studying this virus! ”

Zhou Qing looked at the other party: "Now...... Dr. Yao became the nourishment of his breeding offspring......"

Dr. Ron immediately gave the order: "Inject the Nibelungen jellyfish into the storage dish where the Nibelungen jellyfish are located!" Send someone to the dissection room to find the jellyfish it bred! They must be hiding somewhere! ”

An entire team entered the dissection room, and they turned on the biological scans to get a look at every corner of the space. Once fully opened and adsorbed to the ground, the Nibelungen jellyfish is thin and transparent, making it difficult to detect.

They finally found a whole piece of transparent jellyfish attached to it underneath the dissecting table.

"These little things are cunning. They hide in the blind spot of sight. Zhou Qing realized that the intelligence of the Nibelungen jellyfish may be very high.

"Be careful...... Be careful, don't get touched by them......" Dr. Ron watched the surveillance, nervously worried that a careless person would repeat the mistakes of Song Zhi's Base Five.

The jellyfish were finally recovered, and they were mercilessly placed in a neurotoxin-soaked solution, and it didn't take long for them to melt.

But Ron immediately received another piece of news that they had not designed the Nibelungen jellyfish storage vessel without a pipe to inject neurotoxins. After all, who would have thought of injecting a specimen with a toxin?

So the base sent an executive to carry the neurotoxin to inject it manually, but he didn't expect this executive to come to the jellyfish specimen, looking obsessively on his back, no matter how his colleagues called him to perform the task, he did not respond.

It was an almost pilgrim's expression, and his gaze seemed to pass through the giant transparent jellyfish to another world.

In the midst of repeated calls, he pulled out his gun, put it against his head, and pulled the trigger with a smile and anticipation......

Ron's shoulders shook as he listened to the gunshot in the surveillance.

"This ...... What the hell is going on......"

It was not the first time that Zhou Qing, who had checked the surveillance with him, had learned of such a situation: "I suspect that this jellyfish has the ability to affect human nerves and produce hallucinations. Do you remember how Dr. Yao got into the sample chamber of the jellyfish? You say he's like he's drunk. I suspect he was influenced by jellyfish. ”

"The system can't inject neurotoxins, and now I want to send people and no one dares to go!" Ron clutched his temple with a headache.

"We're going to blow that part of the area out completely?" Zhou Qingti asked.

"Blowing it up just takes the jellyfish out of the storage dish, and that amount of formalin solution is enough to be a buffer for the explosion. It's only now that it's starting to move, and I think formalin has suppressed it from a certain distance, and exploding it is tantamount to giving it freedom. And it's very mobile, just look at the little jellyfish it breeds. ”
