Chapter 62: A Game Within a Game
Lin Xiao looked at the video with apprehension.
Dr. Wei and the others also used guinea mice, a total of five, each injected with different doses, only to see that the mice fell into suspended animation after being injected with the blocker and the mice in the Yellow Finch video.
Then, Wei Ningyu fast-forwarded the video, and after about half an hour, the mice woke up one after another and were artificially fed, and everything seemed very normal.
After a long time, Lin Xiao noticed that something was starting to go wrong.
The mice gradually began to become restless, and began to circle around the transparent box, and as time went by, the mice became more and more restless, and the mice that were injected with the most doses even began to go berserk, jumping up and down in the box, hitting the box from time to time, and then, the mice receiving different doses also became manic, and the whole laboratory was filled with clanging sounds.
Lin Xiao knew that this should be the time when the cat was put in in the Yellow Sparrow video.
It can be seen that the mice have become very aggressive during this time period, and it can even be said that they are not afraid of death, Lin Xiao noticed that the two mice with the most injection doses only cared about hitting the hard experimental box, and even hit their heads full of blood.
This excitement lasted for about two hours, and the experimental boxes of the two most excited mice were even covered with patches of bloodstains, and Lin Xiao could only observe the mice through the gaps in the bloodstains.
Another ten minutes passed.
Suddenly, the mouse with the most injections stopped, and Lin Xiao saw through the bloodstains that the mouse was trembling, and its thin belly swelled and shrank rapidly.
As the first guinea pig stopped, the remaining mice slowly subsided one by one.
Lin Xiao clenched his fists and stared at the picture, he knew that the point was coming.
It didn't take long for a click to be heard coming from the sealed box.
Lin Xiao was horrified to see that the body of the mouse with the most injections had changed, and saw that its body was like a balloon that was gradually blown up, and blood and tissues were surging out of its mouth and nose, as if it was squeezed out of the gas in its body, and then, its two small eyeballs also fell out of their eye sockets and drooped down on their faces.
Before Lin Xiao could exclaim, he only heard a bang!
The whole mouse suddenly exploded, and the plasma mixed with the bits and pieces in the body slowed down the entire box, and the originally transparent box had turned red at this time.
Immediately afterwards, two more muffled explosions came out, and the other two mice also burst open, and the whole experimental scene was miserable for a while.
"Grass," Lin Xiao scolded in a low voice, his stomach churning upward.
Although it was very disgusting, Lin Xiao still frowned and insisted on watching.
The first three mice had exploded, and although the remaining two mice did not explode, their entire bodies began to sway, and then, their bodies began to decay from their backs at a speed visible to the naked eye, but their bodies were still swaying as if they had been transformed.
Then, a thick puff of red smoke suddenly filled the box of the remaining two mice, and after the red smoke passed, the two rotting mice collapsed on the ground, not moving, and it was clear that the red smoke should be the emergency destructive agent for the experiment.
The video ends.
Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his head, looked at Dr. Wei with palpitations, and opened his mouth to find that he really couldn't find a suitable language to describe this strange scene.
After a long time, it was Dr. Wei who spoke first: "Mouse will explode after receiving more than a certain dose of blocking agent. ”
"I," Lin Xiao calmed down and licked his lips: "I saw it." ”
"Although the mice that do not exceed the meter do not explode, the tissues and muscles will die," Dr. Wei said as he unplugged the memory card and cleaned it up.
"I saw it too," Lin Xiao was still shocked by the picture just now, and was a little stunned.
"That's secondary," Dr. Wei said, locking the safe back and standing up.
"Then what's the main thing," Lin Xiao asked, looking at Dr. Wei with his eyes at the point.
"The main thing is," Dr. Wei stared at Lin Xiao and said slowly, "The explosion of mice will spread the fungus into the air on a large scale. ”
"What?"
Lin Xiao stood up suddenly, the swivel chair behind him was knocked out of the distance, and he looked at Dr. Wei in disbelief with wide eyes: "You say it again?"
Dr. Wei was calmer at this point: "I said that the exploded mice would re-spread the fungus into the air, as would the rotting mice, and in short, as long as the infected person came into contact with the blocker, the body would become abnormal, allowing the C-10 fungus to spread more aggressively in the air." ”
Lin Xiao finally understood why Dr. Wei said, 'If Huang Que dares to use this, then the six million people in the Central settlement will be over'.
Lin Xiao finally stopped hesitating, grabbed Dr. Wei and walked back to the whiteboard, and told Wei Ningyu everything he knew.
My own analysis was wrong, it seems that Ouyang's conspiracy has been planned for more than a day or two, and she is not at all temporarily imposing house arrest for Dr. Wei to prepare for another conference at the end of the month.
From the very beginning, she instructed Huang Que to tamper with Dr. Wei's research without authorization, adding political leanings to the 'Supreme Spiral' project, thereby framing Wei Lao, and then replacing Dr. Wei's research with this dangerous thing, and brazenly proposing to apply this dangerous thing to the human body at the Supreme Council.
In fact, the current situation is quite obvious.
Ouyang and Huang Que tampered with the 'Supreme Spiral' without authorization, and hinted that Wei Lao wanted to implement the dictatorship, put himself in opposition positions, and gain more supporters in the name of 'safeguarding national democracy', and at the end of the month, the two were ready to unite and directly usurp the government, premeditating to seize the supreme power.
This reversal of black and white is meticulous, and the operation of the entire bureau is full of hints and metaphors, so that Wei Lao has no way to refute it, which can be described as an extraordinary means.
But now the question is, why did Ouyang choose such a dangerous thing to replace Dr. Wei's research?
Looking at the whole layout, Dr. Wei's 'supreme spiral' plan has been tampered with by her from the beginning, and it doesn't really matter what the plan is, but the political metaphors attached to it.
To put it bluntly, whether or not to replace Dr. Wei's research is not really important to the whole project, the whole project is just a tool.
So why does Ouyang have to add such a stroke, this logically doesn't make sense at all.
Besides, this thing is completely a big killer, once it is not properly controlled, the entire city will be finished, and there may not be a life at that time, let alone usurping power.
Lin Xiao was puzzled.
After learning of Lin Xiao's doubts, Dr. Wei pondered for a while and said, "There are only two situations that may make them have to revise the content of this plan. ”
"Which two," Lin Xiao asked with a frown as he took a sip of the tea that had cooled.
Dr. Wei stretched out a slender white finger: "First, they have the support of an external force, which requires them to replace the so-called 'Spiral-01' as a vaccine, so that they can assist them in secretly hindering Old Wei while he is away." ”
"Second," Dr. Wei stretched out another finger, "there is a key person in their force who has asked to replace my research, this person really wants to reverse the current zombie-infested situation and save the people, but because my research is to directly use the enhanced core to strengthen the human body, this person is afraid that the original enhanced core will bring too strong a power and overthrow his rule, so I must seek a replacement." ”
"But in any case," Dr. Wei said, holding his chin in one hand, "there must be a prerequisite for both cases. ”
Lin Xiao and Dr. Wei glanced at each other, and suddenly said, "They don't know how much disaster the blocker will bring. ”
"That's right," Dr. Wei nodded, "They have been deceived, they are far from the ultimate winners in this fight, and the forces that provided 'Spiral-01' are the biggest fishermen behind the scenes." ”
Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel creepy.
His mind was in a hurry, and now the top priority was to let someone know how harmful this blocking pill would be.
Tell Wei Lao?
Not to mention that wanting to see Wei Lao with Lin Xiao's identity is tantamount to a fool's dream, and the stakes are very high, Lin Xiao can't ask someone to pass the word, because once it is revealed, he will definitely be finished.
Tell other residents?
Obviously, it is not good, the difficulty of those people to meet is not inferior to Wei Lao, and besides, this person seems to be neutral, but Lin Xiao doesn't know what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourd, the so-called human heart is separated from the belly, Lin Xiao can't figure out which side they are heading.
Lin Xiao thought about it, and suddenly thought of the second situation that Dr. Wei mentioned just now - there is a key person who has the intention to reverse the situation of the zombie siege.
Lin Xiao's first reaction was Huang Que, following Huang Que for so long, Lin Xiao also roughly knew some of this person, although Huang Que was also keen on political games and chasing fame and fortune, but he did mention it more than once that if this situation could be completely reversed, he was willing to make sacrifices.
Moreover, although he was ordered to put Dr. Wei under house arrest, he did not let Dr. Wei feel the slightest grievance, except that Dr. Wei was the daughter of Wei Lao, Lin Xiao judged that Huang Que might still attach great importance to Dr. Wei's knowledge.
But then again, if he mentions this matter directly to Huang Que, it is tantamount to telling Huang Que that he knows his plan, which is tantamount to picking himself into the fire pit, although there is a high chance of saving the Central settlement, but he will not escape death.
It's not that he doesn't dare to die, but he can't die, at least not yet.
Wu Zong's life and death are uncertain, Qiqi and the tiger went to Jinling, and there has been no news so far.
He once talked privately with Wu Zong about this apocalyptic crisis on the road, Wu Zong once said that this crisis is far from being solved by one or two people, let alone being able to pass in a moment and a half, zombies are impossible to kill, stubborn resistance and endless killing are never the solution to the problem, and zombies will only increase.
They must clear the layers of confusion before the complete extinction of humanity, trace the origin of this crisis, and discover the ultimate secret behind it in order to completely resolve this crisis.
