Chapter 274: Mutant Virus

"The three biochemical pet beasts were all in a state of high euphoria before they died, like a spar chariot that had soared its speed to the limit, and even the 'engine' exploded."

I muttered, "This doesn't look like an ordinary runaway......

Meng Chao agreed.

He could imagine the state of the three biochemical pet beasts before they died.

Their blood is almost boiling, and every cell around them is screaming, eager to get more oxygen, participate in the mitochondrial energy conversion response, and output an extremely tyrannical attack power.

What kind of loss of control can lead to this kind of ...... Volcanic eruption?

Sun Yufeng continued to dissect and soon isolated the spinal cords of three biochemical pet beasts.

It goes all the way up to the brain, and separates the brain, cerebellum and brainstem very clearly.

The head of one of the biochemical pet beasts was shattered by the heavy fists of humans.

Sun Yufeng is like a puzzle master, very patiently and meticulously piecing back the brains bit by bit, and in just five minutes, seven or eight percent of them were restored.

Meng Chao's miraculous skills made Meng Chao breathtaking, knowing that he still had a long way to go in the realm of "Reaper".

Sun Yufeng used a ball of soft spiritual energy to wrap the separated cerebellum, medulla oblongata, and brain, slowly rotating at 360 degrees, showing it to everyone.

In particular, the hippocampal gyrus, the basal surface of the brain, is infiltrated by him with spiritual energy, and it glows slightly, and he can see the subtle damage inside very clearly.

I saw that from the cerebral plasma to the spinal cord, there were different degrees of congestion, edema and fine bleeding, as well as dark purple markings.

The former is a typical pathological change of acute diffuse meningitis, and the latter should be some kind of viral infection.

Sun Yufeng collected samples from the brains, spinal cords, and various organs of the three biochemical pet beasts and sent them for virus testing.

However, the test results have not yet come out, and the experienced harvesters have roughly guessed from the pathological changes.

"Variant rabies?"

On Earth, the rabies virus is a very stable rhabdovirus, with a bomb-like shape, a helical symmetry nucleocapsid, an envelope on the surface, and a single-stranded RNA, with a total of four subtypes, which are extremely resistant to mutation.

But as thousands of dogs came from the earth to the other world, among which there were naturally some sick dogs, the rabies virus from the earth and the "zombie virus" of the other world collided, and were interfered with by the psychic magnetism, shattering the envelope and nuclear clothing, and countless variants were produced.

99% of the mutations will cause fatal damage to the virus itself.

However, the remaining 1% of mutations, such as the combination of rabies virus and influenza virus, will make the rabies virus escalate and become a hundred times more terrible than the age of the earth, and even spread not only among mammals, but even all kinds of reptiles and crustacean monsters can be infected with "mutant rabies virus".

"Judging from the dark purple markings on the spinal cord, my personal preliminary inference is that it is the type 9 variant rabies virus, which is mostly found in rodent monsters, which can greatly increase the aggression of monsters, and through biting and scratching, using saliva and blood as a medium, it spreads to various mammalian monsters."

Sun Yufeng said expressionlessly, "The time from infection to onset of the type 9 mutant rabies virus is very fast, usually the incubation period will not exceed 48 hours, once the attack occurs, the mammalian monster will become extremely crazy, nervous convulsions, attacking all living creatures it sees, it is one of the most dangerous subtypes of rabies virus, also known as the 'dance of death', even more dangerous than the zombie virus." ”

Everyone nodded.

When infected with a zombie virus, the mitochondria deep in the cell may not be able to output all the energy instantly.

Many zombies are slow to move, and will only stagger and stumble, making a "whoosh" jet sound when a large number of bacteria multiply in their bodies, ensuring that this "body" can be used for a longer time.

However, the "Type 9 Variant Rabies Virus" will instantly stimulate all the cells and mitochondria in the host, releasing the most violent energy, turning the host into a "biochemical incendiary bomb", killing the prey and burning itself.

If it is really infected with the mutant rabies virus, and the loss of control of the biochemical pet beast, it seems that it cannot be blamed on the modulation of the "spirit creation creature".

Therefore, Xie Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Three days ago, near the 'Sega Heavenly City', there was indeed a small-scale mist coming, and a rat tide invaded along the gap in the space.

"Although the rat tide was quickly eliminated, it was inevitable that a few violent rats hid underground, and then drilled into 'Sega Sky City' through the sewers, and spread the mutant rabies virus in their bodies to the bodies of the three biochemical pet beasts."

This speculation made everyone talk about it, and they all felt that it was quite likely.

Only the representative of "Tiangong Machinery" still said with a cold face: "Even if it is really a mutant rabies virus, don't the biochemical pet beasts prepared by your company be vaccinated?" ”

Xie Xiaofeng said: "Of course, our products have undergone the strictest quarantine and epidemic prevention measures, and even at the embryonic stage, they have been genetically edited to eliminate the possibility of most viral infections.

"However, the other world is so unstable, everything is mutating and evolving wildly, the rabies virus alone, there are dozens of subtype variants, this is only what has been detected by humans, many vaccines will be invalid after a year and a half at most, no one dares to pack a ticket, saying that the injection of vaccines can resist all infections.

"Even humans have the possibility of being infected with the zombie virus and becoming humanoid monsters, is it possible that before the 'zombie vaccine' is developed, we will all be locked up at home and unable to live normally?"

"This ......" the other party was speechless for a moment.

While the two sides were arguing, Ning She and I quietly pulled Meng Chao and pulled him into the corner.

"Meng Chao, do you think there will be traces of pinholes on the three biochemical pet beasts?" I whispered.

Meng Chao's mind was racing, and he said: "What does Elder Ning mean, do you suspect that someone deliberately injected the mutant rabies virus into the bodies of the three biochemical pet beasts, causing them to lose control and go berserk?" ”

Ning She nodded and said, "Since you are here, of course you have to consider all the possibilities, Gao Yeguchi said that this is a conspiracy, check it, and have an explanation for him." ”

Meng Chao said: "It makes sense, it would be good for Ning Lao to tell Sun Lao directly just now, I am here to learn, it's okay." ”

Ning She coughed: "Then you go and say." ”

Meng Chao: "Hey? ”

Ning She: "After all, I am highly respected in the circle and involved in all aspects, you know?" ”

Meng Chao: "I understand, I'm here to offend people today, and I'm responsible for saying things that are inconvenient for you or 'Lingchuang', and when necessary, I should be scared - I'm wondering, with you and Sun Lao in charge, I want me to be a little bit, what kind of energy!" ”

Ning She's old face was red and speechless.

Meng Chao said that, in fact, he also wanted to know the truth about the loss of control of the biochemical pet beast, thought about it, took two steps forward, and said: "Old Sun, if the virus really spreads from the minions of the rat monster to the biochemical pet beast, then, there should be small bites or scratches on the corpses of these three biochemical pet beasts, right?"

"After all, the rat tide outbreak was only three days ago, and the incubation period of the type 9 rabies virus is no more than 48 hours, and the wound is not so easy to heal."

Sun Yufeng stared at Meng Chao deeply.

seemed to see through what he really wanted to ask, what it was.

Sun Yufeng said expressionlessly: "I found hundreds of lacerations on the three biochemical pet beasts, either caused by its own excessive force, or it was injured by humans, and there were no traces of rodent monsters biting or scratching.

"However, because the three biochemical pet beasts have been hit hard by humans, many parts of the flesh are blurred or even missing, and I can't guarantee that there are no traces of bites or scratches in these missing parts."

After a pause, he added:

"Of course, I didn't find any traces of injections like needle holes."

This last sentence made everyone's discussion instantly noisy.

Many eyes focused on Meng Chao, as if they could hear the meaning of the conversation between the two.

Meng Chao blushed a little.

But when the words were asked, it didn't matter what the old-timers thought, he took another half step forward, looked at Sun Yufeng, and said seriously: "Old Sun, I don't know if you have investigated...... What about the deepest part of the ear canal? ”

Sun Yufeng was slightly stunned.

Meng Chao pointed to his ears and said: "Use a material with excellent flexibility to create a long needle as thin as a cow's hair, along the winding ear canal, straight to the deepest part of the eardrum, only a very small amount of medicine is needed, it can directly act on the central nervous system, the wound is very small, and even with the most advanced instruments, it is difficult to detect." ”

This is an assassination technique recorded in the "Treacherous Assassination Method" taught by the Black Skull instructor in the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life.

It can not only kill people invisibly, but of course, it can also make biochemical pet beasts lose control and go berserk.

As soon as he said this, the gazes staring at him around him became even colder or hotter.

Sun Yufeng frowned deeply, as if he was not very satisfied with Meng Chao's questioning of his flaw detection technique.

But he didn't say a word, and buried his head in the ear canal of the three biochemical pet beasts.

The ear canal is winding, covered by hair, and clogged with blood, making it difficult to detect.

Sun Yufeng had his own way, and the spiritual silk seemed to have life, and he rushed to get in.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, as if all five senses were attached to the spirit silk, burrowing into the ears of the three biochemical pet beasts.

Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and it was obvious that this kind of operation, which was comparable to a "human flesh microscope", greatly consumed his spirit.

For three minutes, he didn't open his eyes, but his expression became more and more solemn.

The atmosphere of the scene became more and more serious, and gradually, no one was noisy, and everyone stared at his expression.

Five minutes later, Sun Yufeng finally opened his eyes and looked at Meng Chao for a long time with extremely strange eyes.

Only then did he say: "In the depths of the left ears of the two biochemical pet beasts, there are indeed two extremely small ...... Pinhole scars. ”
