Because the subject's mouth was already tied, the bite was not hit.

The assistant was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand, revealing a palpitating expression.

"I said be careful," Li Lei frowned, "We don't have an antidote serum!" ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Leader." The assistant quickly apologized.

At this point, the subject, who had lost signs of life, suddenly began to beat again, and not only that, but his face had become extremely pale, his pupils dilated, and he no longer reacted to the light, but only drooled his teeth and kept screaming at the people around him.

Like a rabies beast.

"How could it be ......"

At this moment, the assistant looked at the EEG instrument on the side, and suddenly said in surprise, "The brain waves of the experimental subject have completely disappeared just now, but now they are starting to recover!" ”

On the instrument, the brain waves of the experimental subject began to rise from the original straight line, but did not return to the state of ordinary people, but a weak brain current, equivalent to the deep sleep state of humans.

"Subject's heartbeat is only 20 beats per minute!" Another assistant said.

"It seems that the virus has restarted the subject, leaving the subject in a state of extremely low energy consumption."

Li Lei complained, "It turns out that the so-called zombies are a kind of low-energy human beings who are always sleepwalking? ”

After a series of tests, soon an experimental report appeared in Chen Chen's hands.

On the other hand, Hannibal also completed the experiment over there.

In the end, the results of the experiment showed that macaques and chimpanzees can also be infected with the virus, but when infected with the virus, they will only cause death, and will not become animal zombies.

Birds and felines cannot become zombies, and only canines can become canine zombies after being infected with the virus.

Hannibal even did another experiment, he first found the body of a wolfdog that had been dead for several hours, and then injected the corpse with a virus.

Sure enough, the wolfdog was resurrected.

"I don't understand."

Hannibal handed the experimental data to Chen Chen, "According to the conclusion of the experiment, the T virus is likely to have the ability to restart dead brain cells, but is this against the common sense of nature?" ”

"Indeed, this is contrary to common sense."

Li Lei on the side also said, "I have seen the transformation of living people into zombies, but can corpses that have been dead for several hours also be transformed?" Doesn't that mean that the T virus has the ability to activate dead brain cells? But how could this be......"

"Actually, it's not contrary to common sense."

Chen Chen looked at the information in his hand and slowly explained, "There is a paper in the journal Nature that tells a similar story. ”

Both of them were stunned and looked at each other incredulously.

"I remember an article from April '19 titled "Restoration of brain circulation and cellular functions hours post-mortem" ......"

"The content of the paper is that Professor Nenaard, a neuroscientist at Yale University, has built a device called the Extracorporeal Pulse Perfusion System, abbreviated as BrainEx, which is an extracorporeal artificial circulation machine similar to a dialysis machine, consisting of a pump, a heater and a filter."

"In order to test the functionality of this machine, Professor Nenad went to the slaughterhouse and picked up thirty-two pig heads, which were slaughtered for more than four hours, but Professor Nenad did not dislike them and picked them up and returned them to the laboratory."

Chen continued, "After bringing the pigs' heads back to the lab, he took the pigs' brains out of the skull, connected them to the BrainEx system, and pumped special artificial blood into the pigs' brains through this device to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the brain cells, and the whole perfusion process took six hours. ”

"And what about the result?" The two asked.

"The results are amazing, some brain cells in the pig brain have 'come back to life', the neurons in the pig brain have spontaneous synaptic activity, some brain cells have restarted their metabolic function, and even the immune system continues to work."

Chen Chen spread his hands, "The general medical community believes that if there is no oxygen for more than four minutes, a large number of brain cells will die diffusely, and the brain will die completely after more than ten minutes, but this experiment proves that the brain that dies for four hours can still be saved." ”

"Of course, in fact, it has nothing to do with 'resurrection'."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and added again, "This phenomenon only proves that brain tissues survive after death longer than we think, and we may be underestimating the brain's ability to recover, and in fact, through certain technical means, dead brain cells can be reactivated." ”

"So, do these pigs have brain waves?" Hannibal asked.

"No, the experiment was over after only six hours."

Chen Chen shook his head, "During the experiment, the pig's brain did not appear to be related to consciousness, which means that even if these pig brains are rescued, they are just unconscious plant pigs. ”

"Maybe the professor can try an electric shock to restart the brain's consciousness." Li Lei said with some expectation.

"Maybe the other party has done it secretly, but he can't make it public."

Chen Chen sneered, "Because of the publication of this experimental paper alone, he has been opposed by many people, some people have begun to worry that this experiment will lead to problems, and some people are worried that this kind of experiment will cause difficulties in organ donation, because donors donate organs after brain death, but if brain death is reversible, no one is willing to donate their own organs and so on." ”

"Sometimes I really want to give these ethical monsters a good beating."

Li Lei said helplessly, "Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean, the T virus can't actually bring the dead back to life, the reason why it can resurrect the corpse that has just died is because the brain cells of the corpse are not completely dead, and the T virus is like the BrainEx system, which has the ability to revive some brain cells." ”

"Yes, but it's also a testament to the miracle of the T-virus."

Hannibal concluded, "The BrainEx system still needs to remove the brain from the skull in order to perform perfusion circulation, but the T virus can directly pull the dead brain cells back from the brink of death, and if used well, this virus may have the potential to treat brain damage and brain death......

"If we can remove the virulence of the virus, there may be real potential."

Chen Chen nodded when he heard this, "The real potential of the T virus is actually in the military aspect, creating zombies is just a side effect of it, and the real function of the T virus is actually to make the host genetically recombinant......"

As he spoke, Chen Chen suddenly got up, took out a marker, and wrote three letters on a whiteboard behind him-

. W。

"That's what the T-virus really does."

Chen Chen said, "Through genetic recombination, we can create highly lethal 'organic biological weapons'......"
