Chapter 972: The mutated H-virus
The last time she brought flowers to Angel for inspection, she had already told Lin Yi that there were residues about the H virus in it, but at that time she was only unsure, and only said that it was suspected H virus. But judging from Li Jiaoyin's situation at the time, it was very similar to the signs of being infected with the H virus, and after being injected with antibodies, Li Jiaoyin's symptoms disappeared quickly and returned to normal.
From all indications, Li Jiaoyin should have the H virus.
What Lin Yi didn't know was that the reason why Jiang Dawei sent flowers at the beginning was to treat Li Jiaoyin as a real object to test for the H virus. The H virus sent by Zeduan, they were not sure that the virus was really useful, so out of revenge, Jiang Dawei selected Li Jiaoyin as an experimental subject.
Since then, Li Jiaoyin has not come to the hospital for a few days, Xu Wei and Jiang Dawei must have been because of the H virus, so Li Jiaoyin did not come to work. After determining that the H virus worked, the two secretly began to research, until the day before Lin Yi looked for them, their research was successful, and Zeduan recalled them and began to carry out his plot.
When he arrived in the room, Angel was looking at the microscope and looking at something.
"Here, you sit down first, and I'll talk to you later."
Obviously, Angel knew that Lin Yi was coming, but he didn't stop because of the matter at hand. Lin Yi was not polite, sat down by himself, and made himself a cup of coffee.
I have to say that the fifth special bureau is different, whether it is an office or a real room, it is not built, it is much more luxurious, there is everything, and it is also very convenient.
After waiting for Angel for more than ten minutes, she finally took off her mask and left the test bench.
"Here, take a drink of the coffee I made for you."
Lin Yi took the brewed coffee and handed it to Angel. After saying thank you, Angel took the coffee and drank it, but did not speak, and his expression was a little solemn. Lin Yi knew that with her expression, maybe something was wrong.
Think about it, apart from the H virus, Lin Yi can't think of anything else. Glancing at the microscope, there was nothing else but a rose petal underneath.
That's right, Lin Yi guessed right, the matter is indeed related to the H virus.
Angel didn't say it, Lin Yi probably knew what was going on just by seeing the rose petals on the microscope. But after guessing it, Lin Yi wanted to know the specific situation about the H virus. Angel's face, Lin Yi had already guessed that it was definitely not a good thing, but there were many bad things, what Lin Yi wanted to know was how bad this bad thing about the H virus was.
After taking a few sips of coffee, Angel straightened up, and Lin Yi knew that whenever Angel did this action, it meant that she had something more important to say.
"I've been studying the roses you brought for several days, and I've just confirmed the results."
Lin Yi nodded, Angel didn't say that he also knew, otherwise Angel wouldn't have studied for so long without a result, it wouldn't be her. As the only doctor in the whole team, and a doctor with high attainments in Chinese and Western medicine, Angel plays a very important role in the entire Fifth Special Bureau and the entire team.
"Do you know the person who sent this flower?"
Lin Yi understood what Angel meant by asking, and he said straight to the point: "Just say it, I'll tell you other things when you finish speaking." ”
What Lin Yi wants to know most now is whether the H virus is what he thinks, and if so, how to stop it, here is what Lin Yi is most eager to know now.
"The remnants of this flower have been determined to be H viruses, but not the previous H viruses, but a virus with stronger vitality than H viruses, this virus has the original form of H viruses, but in other aspects it is more than one level higher than H viruses."
After listening to Angel's words, Lin Yi already understood what she meant, the virus in front of her was very powerful, much more powerful than the previous H virus. In addition, this virus is even more tricky to deal with, and it has stronger vitality and fecundity than the H virus.
To put it simply, the virus in front of me has mutated!
"Is this an upgraded version of the H-virus, or a mutated version?" Lin Yi asked.
Angel didn't deny Lin Yi's words, nodded and said, "So to speak, whether it's an upgraded version or a mutated version, I'm still not sure." After my investigation in the past few days, I have some understanding of this virus, but the more I know, the more scared I become. It has a stronger adaptability than the previous H virus, and it can be said that the previous H virus is very picky about the living environment. ”
"If the environment is not right, it may be difficult for the H-virus to survive. But the virus in front of you is obviously not, the roses you brought have already withered, so it can be seen that it has been at least a few days. In addition, in the past few days of my research, the time has been at least more than a week, but the virus above is still very tenacious, and there is still zài vitality in it. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that my room was filled with all kinds of antibodies, maybe it would have already started to spread."
After listening to Angel's words, Lin Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
"What is the difference between the upgraded version of the H virus and the mutated version of the virus?"
Lin Yi didn't understand a little, whether it was an upgraded version or a mutated version, it should be about the same. But since Angel said so, there must be a difference between the two. Otherwise, someone as cautious as Angel would not have said so clearly.
"If the upgraded version is upgraded, it means that there are still traces of this H virus, and it is relatively simple to study its antibodies. Because we have a number of studies before the original virus, including its antibodies. If you want to re-study the antibody to an upgraded version of the H virus, it is simpler. ”
"On the other hand, if it's a mutated version of the H virus, it's a bit of a problem. The upgraded version of the H virus is only a lot more numerous on the basis of the original virus, and it can also be said to have been optimized. But the mutant version of the H virus is different, and some of the cell structures inside the virus have all changed, so it is very difficult for us to study its antibodies. More importantly, the mutated H virus is completely uncommon to the previous number. In other words, the mutated version of the H virus is a new type of virus, and if we want to study and learn more about it, we have to start all over again. ”
After listening to Angel's words, Lin Yi realized that the gap between the upgraded version of the H virus and the mutated version of the H virus is simply too big, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference. What's even more tricky is that if it is a mutant virus, the research will have to start again, and the pressure and time will be too great.
If Zeduan wants to put the virus into the urban area, and it is a mutant virus, then when the relevant departments react, and then organize people to study it, I am afraid that it will take the lives of countless citizens to pay for it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt more and more that things were strict.
"Angel, let's see if you can mobilize other medical experts to help with the research, first of all, to determine what kind of virus it is. There are also some densely populated places in the urban area that have begun to be investigated, just in case. ”
Lin Yi's reaction was very fast, and he thought of the crux of the problem at once, but unfortunately he was a step late.
Angel frowned and said, "Lin Yi, are you really sure?" If not, mobilize so many resources and manpower at once, I am afraid that the above will have an opinion on our Fifth Special Bureau. ”
Indeed, Angel's worries are not unreasonable. After all, this qiē is Lin Yi's guess, although Lin Yi didn't say it, but with his understanding of Lin Yi, Angel can still guess it.
"Angel, don't you understand? This virus has been taken out, indicating that it has been exiled. The main question is, why did that friend of mine have a virus that was solved with the antibodies you gave. What's going on, could it be that the antibodies of the previous virus work for both the upgraded and the mutated version? ”
That's right, Lin Yi is talking about Li Jiaoyin, according to this reason, this virus is no longer the previous H virus, but why Li Jiaoyin has fully recovered after being injected with antibodies, this doesn't make sense.
Lin Yi's words woke up Angel, and she immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
"Lin Yi, tell me about your friend's symptoms again, as well as the time before and after the flowers were given to her."
Lin Yi didn't know why Angel asked this, but she understood that there must be a reason for this. Lin Yi recalled it a little, and began to tell everything that happened, including the kidnapping of Li Jiaoyin. The whole thing is simply that Li Jiaoyin was kidnapped, Lin Yi came to the rescue, and then Li Jiaoyin's body was in condition, and then there was the H virus antibody given by Angel, and after the antibody injection, Li Jianyin returned to normal.
After listening to Lin Yi's words, Angel didn't speak immediately, but looked pensive, thinking about Lin Yi's words in his mind. She quickly connected what Lin Yi said into key time nodes, and then carefully scrutinized these time nodes to understand the connection.
"You say, is there such a possibility. Your friend has the H virus, so the antibodies will work for her. And the new virus on this flower, I don't know if it is an upgraded version or a mutated version, is placed at your friend's house, and there is no breeding environment, or there is no living environment, so it inhibits its spread and vitality. ”
Hearing Angel say this, Lin Yi asked, "Are you saying that in her home, there is a very good chance that there is something about suppressing this virus?" ”
If it is true, then this is a serious discovery, and it is very likely that it is the nemesis of unlocking this virus.
Hearing this, Angel shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I can't say that there will be a way to suppress this virus, but it's just that this is also part of the possibility, and there is also a possibility that the environment of your friend's house has caused this situation." It's also possible that many viruses won't work if they don't have an environment to reproduce. ”
"Does that make any difference?" Lin Yi asked.
Angel was patient and said, "Of course there is a difference. If it's the former, we'll be able to find a way to counter the virus through research into your friend's stuff. But if it's the latter, and you only know the environment, then at most it can only be used to save the virus at the end, and it won't help you solve the virus in any way. ”
After listening to Angel's words, Lin Yi was also a little disappointed, but no matter what, this is also a possibility, just like Li Jiaoyin injected antibodies before, there is only a 50% probability, and she still became the lucky one. Thinking about it now, with the addition of this new virus, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is only a 50% probability for Li Jiaoyin at that time.
There are two viruses in Li Jiaoyin, and if she is infected with the virus on the flowers, it is that no amount of antibodies injected into her will work. Moreover, even if she has been injected with the H virus, if she is infected with the virus on the flowers, there is still no way. But Li Jiaoyin is the H virus and has not been infected.
It can only be said that she is the lucky one among the lucky ones.
