Chapter 324: Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Chen Xunyi put aside the glass bottle containing the outer skin tissue, pointed to the body of the giant bat monster and said, "Cut it!" ”

The scalpel quickly slashed down the surface of the yellow skin, and the wound was like paper soaked in water, and with a gentle pull, the flesh and skin tissue inside was exposed.

Chen Xunyi held a bone saw and cut the ribs from the chest cavity of the giant bat monster, and Ren Mingxiao took a scalpel and tissue scissors to slowly cut the skin covered by the outer part of the chest cavity.

As the dissection progressed, mucus continued to emerge from it.

Every tool used was stained with this slime, Chen Xunyi picked up the bone saw and wiped it with his hand, some tools of different materials were covered with a layer of yellowing metal rust!

What the? He put the bone saw in front of him, and once again looked closely, this tool is alloyed, how can it be corroded so easily? Impossible!

Chen Xunyi was still a little puzzled, he put down the bone saw, gently wiped it on the giant bat monster's body with his hand, and then picked up the PH test paper and dipped it a little.

The test strip is still orange-yellow, and there is no change.

Is it the same as the polydonts of the swamp?

"How?" Ren Mingxiao asked.

"I don't know for the time being, this mucus needs to be tested more professionally!"

Chen Xunyi took out the ribs in his chest, revealing the organ structure of the upper body of the giant bat monster, he took off the plastic gloves of one hand, pulled down the shadowless lamp above his head, and turned on the switch, and the strong light shone on the inside of the giant bat monster's body.

Chen Xunyi put his hands on the platform, his eyes kept moving on the organs, he raised his hand, "Give me the dissection data of the giant bat monster last time!" ”

Ren Mingxiao put the notebook in his hand.

Chen Xunyi checked the records in his notebook while observing the structure of the giant bat monster's body organs.

After a while, he returned the notebook to Ren Mingxiao, leaned down, pointed to a place inside, and asked Ren Mingxiao to cut it off with a scalpel.

Chen Xunyi put the cut organ tissue into the petri dish, and then walked to the work table where the electron microscope was located, and began to observe the organ tissue in the petri dish.

"I see!" He straightened up.

"What did you find?" Ren Mingxiao asked.

"The appearance of the giant batatrium is roughly the same, but the internal organs are different, and it can even be said that they are very different!"

"This..." Ren Mingxiao frowned, as if she didn't understand what he meant by his words at all!

"The internal organ structure of this mutated organism is not fixed, and there are visible differences in both position and size, which is simply unimaginable for us, but it is also one of the factors that the source cell cannot control in self-replication."

He put his hand on his chest and continued, "The organs of our body are like the main trunk of the main tree, and various blood vessel branches connect the organs, so in the process of forming the body organs, we must ensure a specific size, otherwise, if a certain organ in the body is connected to the blood vessels too thin, it will lead to insufficient blood supply, resulting in organ failure." ”

"Each organ of this mutant creature is not connected by blood vessels! Rather, it's this mucus, blood that is constantly produced in a certain area, and then supplied to all organs through the mucus. ”

"Just like that zombie!"

"Yes!"

"You said before that zombies may also be artificially made! And zombies also have this liquid in their bodies! So... ”

"I know what you're trying to say!" He interrupted Ren Mingxiao's words, "Maybe this structure is the most suitable for the asexual reproduction of source cells!" ”

"So what's next?"

"Find out where the hematopoietic stem cells are in the giant bat's body! This is probably the mutant's most fatal weakness. ”

"Isn't it in the marrow cavity of the bone?"

Chen Xunyi picked up the thoracic bones on the platform, as well as some long bones, "I've seen these bones, they are completely hollow inside, and there is no bone marrow cavity!" ”

Yes! Ren Mingxiao opened her mouth slightly, feeling quite incredible about this, "Hollow? So where does all this blood come from? This... ”

"That's why I need to find it!"

Ren Mingxiao turned her head, and she lifted the dissected giant bat monster on the platform with her hand, "This... Can you find it? ”

"Of course not, the body is rotten, and it is basically impossible to find out where the hematopoietic stem cells came from."

"Then it seems that we can only wait until the Great Wall of the Border, when will we catch a giant bat monster again!"

"Can't wait for this opportunity! We had to go on our own! ”

"Shall we go by ourselves?"

"In three or four days, the guards will go outside the Great Wall of the border to carry out a task of extermination! We can only perform anatomical surgery at that time. ”

"It's such a dangerous thing again."

Chen Xunyi shrugged his shoulders, "No way, who made this mutant creature so difficult to catch!" He glanced at the platform, "Clean up!" ”

"Hmm!"

"How's the Dormant Grass you've planted? Is there enough of it? Chen Xunyi put the body of the giant bat monster into the black bag.

"It's not that fast, it's probably going to take a week or so!"

"That is to say..."

"The remaining stock is definitely not enough, or we can get some medicine for wounds from the hospital in Extinct City!"

Chen Xunyi tied his pockets and smiled faintly, "The medicine is managed by the municipal government, so it is impossible to give it to us, and we even took the medical supplies ourselves last time!" ”

"Then let's go to the storage warehouse and get some medicine this time!"

"Gu Pensi is not a fool, it will not be so easy to give us another chance, I estimate that the medicine must be hidden elsewhere now."

"What then?"

"Discuss it with Captain Yan! See what they do! ”

The two of them picked up the black bag one after the other, walked outside, and threw the black bag into the garbage heap.

"Are you sure you don't need this corpse?" Ren Mingxiao walked behind him and asked cautiously.

"Oops!" Chen Xunyi stopped abruptly, he raised his head and spread his hands out, as if pleading.

"Hurry up and get the bag back!" Ren Mingxiao turned sideways.

"No!" Chen Xunyi raised the corners of his mouth, "I'm just a little hungry!" ”

Ren Mingxiao glanced at him, as if angry at his boring joke.

"Don't be angry! I'm really hungry! ”

"I can't help you! I'm going to get you something to eat! ”

Yan Shenshi sat at his desk, his eyes closed, thinking about the details of the entire extermination mission.

On the table is a map drawn by a drone from outside the Great Wall of the Border, which is already full of labels, vegetation, geology, elevation, and so on. :,,,
