Chapter 7: Sources of Viruses
Elizabeth, Silver Watch S-Class Hero. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, Elizabeth was just an ordinary person. But she has a special identity, the first host of the Z virus.
There has never been a very clear statement about the origin of the Z-virus, and only the high-level of the World Government, Silver Watch, and the Hunter Alliance know the truth of all this.
It all started with the excavation of the ruins of an ancient civilization.
Elizabeth, as a scientific researcher, participated in the excavation of the remains of ancient civilizations.
Of course, there was no world government at that time, let alone Silver Watch. Elizabeth was part of an American expedition and entered the ruins of that ancient civilization.
Of course, it is debatable whether this relic is a relic of an ancient civilization, and the only thing that is certain is that this relic has existed for a very long time, even much older than the history of human existence.
As for whether this relic was left by an ancient civilization or an alien civilization, there are different opinions and opinions.
This expedition team entered the ruins of ancient civilization three times, but the first two times were in vain. Because this ruin actually needs to be solved to enter!
These puzzles are all about some mathematics, physics, biochemistry, and so on.
After entering from the entrance of the ruins, there is a deep passage, and at intervals there will be a huge door, and there is a screen on the door, on which there are many questions, involving all aspects of modern science, all fields.
Of course, these questions are not written in the language of the earth, but there is a complete set of language codes that can be translated into the language of the earth as long as the level of technology reaches a certain level.
On the first two occasions, the expedition passed through a total of four gates, but by the time of the fifth gate, the topics on it were far beyond the level of scientific and technological development at that time.
By the time of the third entry, the level of human technology had already taken another leap forward. This time, the expedition finally managed to open the fifth door without any problems, and then continued to move forward, finally opening the seventh door and coming to the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a large hall, empty, with only a cylindrical pedestal in the center.
A test tube containing a reddish-black liquid was suspended on the high platform.
Everyone observed the periphery for a long time, and found that there were no mechanisms in the hall, so they were relieved to enter, and they all observed the solution in the test tube.
However, when everyone didn't react, the test tube suddenly shattered!
The red-black liquid splashed in all directions, a small part splashed on the bodies of the expedition members, and most of them were scattered on the ground, gradually volatilizing.
However, the expedition team members who had splashed the solution on their bodies did not feel anything unusual.
But even so, it aroused the vigilance of the expedition leader. So the expedition was immediately halted, and the people immediately returned.
Upon their return to the United States, they were immediately quarantined and checked for any special changes.
Soon, the researchers discovered a shocking result.
A completely new virus is hiding in these people's bodies, but the virus is still in its incubation period, and it is uncertain whether it will affect the human body.
Just when scientists in the United States breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had the virus under control.
After the reagent solution in the ruins of ancient civilizations volatilized, the virus was dispersed into the atmosphere in large quantities, and began to replicate and spread rapidly.
As a result, the rain of viruses fell almost simultaneously around the world.
A large number of humans were infected and turned into zombies, wild beasts mutated into wild beasts, and a very small number of people evolved into awakened ones......
This is known as the Holocaust.
After the outbreak of the Holocaust, an accident occurred at the scientific research institution where the expedition members were imprisoned.
A member of the expedition team suddenly turned into a huge flesh monster and broke through the isolation room of the research institute, destroying the entire scientific research institution!
In the face of this huge flesh monster, the research institute urgently called in modern weapons, but to no avail. Because the outside world is already a mess!
Eventually, this research base was abandoned, and under the ravages of these flesh monsters, it was completely destroyed and reduced to rubble.
What's even more bizarre is that these flesh monsters all died mysteriously soon after, except for one person, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was the only survivor of that expedition. She also became that kind of flesh monster for a while, but she slowly mastered this power.
As for why only these expedition members have become flesh monsters, it is because of the dose. Several of them were in direct contact with the original solution of the virus reagent, while the rest of the humans were only exposed to the virus solution that had been diluted countless times.
So, Elizabeth became the only surviving virion in the world.
Later, Elizabeth began a long wandering, until she was finally discovered by the World Government and became a member of the Silver Watch.
However, the world government never really trusted her. Although Elizabeth's strength has reached the level of an S-class hero, she is an extremely dangerous existence for the world government, so Elizabeth was voluntarily imprisoned.
Three years ago, Elizabeth lost control and turned into a terrifying virion, and it was Gaia and Chopper Steel, two S-class heroes, who shot together to suppress her.
Therefore, this time Elizabeth left Dawn City, and the world government also couldn't ask for it. After all, in their eyes, Elizabeth is like a time bomb that threatens to destroy Dawn City at any moment.
ā¦ā¦
"So, I'm actually an anomaly, a being that shouldn't exist in the world. I'm neither an Awakened nor a Desolate Beast, and strictly speaking, I'm supposed to be the same virion as those flesh monsters. ā
"But I don't know why, the virus didn't completely destroy my will, but was suppressed by my will, so I'm now a hybrid of human consciousness and virus life."
"And every time I go berserk, I fall back into the state of a flesh monster dominated by the virus. This state will rapidly drain my life force, and if I am not defeated or awakened, then I will absorb all the life around me like those flesh monsters, and then go to death. ā
"It's a little unwilling, but that's my fate. From the moment I entered the ruins of an ancient civilization and touched that test tube, it was all doomed. ā
Elizabeth calmly finished her story. From her face, Bai Ye couldn't see any special emotions.
Except for one unspeakable ...... Tired.
As a non-human being, he tries to control his power and contribute to the human world as much as possible, but he will never be trusted by humans.
To live in the eyes of fear and to spend the long years in that cramped prison.
It is indeed an indescribable tiredness. Even Bai Ye couldn't understand what kind of will it was that allowed her to persist until now.
"Maybe dying on the African continent after falling into a rampage would be the best outcome for me."
"If you can make the last contribution to humanity before you die, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death."
"So, if that time really comes...... Whether it's you or the chairman, please don't bother me. Just let me ...... Die quietly. ā
Elizabeth looked at the scenery outside and said lightly.
