"Dr. Su, are you listening to me?" Chen Xin saw Su Wan in front of him, as if he was a little distracted, so he asked.

"You just said that parasitic control larvae? Do you have any theoretical basis? Based on your description, it's okay to be judged to be a parasite. But with the biology you've just shown, how do you determine the control attributes? Su Wan stared at Chen Xin's eyes, still asking indifferently.

Although the tone was not heavy, Chen Xin felt like an electric shock, this "school bully" was really to the point. Chen Xin really didn't think about how to answer, he was stunned for a while, he couldn't tell Su Wan in front of him, I saw it from the wasteland survival manual. But judging from Dr. Su's expression in front of him, he can't get around this problem.

Chen Xin decided to throw out a bombshell news to change the topic, of course, he actually wanted to talk to Xie Guoping about this blockbuster news for a long time, but he didn't know how to say it.

Chen Xin pulled Xie Guoping and Haiyan to Su Wan and said in a low voice, "According to my observations, the zombie behavior here is very social, and the battle in the garage just now should be able to be seen, so I don't need to explain it." But the intelligence of zombies is all growing again, and I think it will be difficult to raise the average level to the level of being able to fight in a short period of time, even if there is a virus catalyze. So, behind these zombies, there must be a central control unit! ”

"It is not very likely that zombies will directly evolve to receive control waves, and everyone knows that energy waves will cause viruses to multiply, which will disrupt the virus balance in zombies, and the flesh and blood body will collapse. So, let's make a bold assumption that the 'subworms' parasitic inside the corpses of these evolutionary corpses are a specific type of evolutionary organisms that can withstand ultra-high concentrations of viruses. As soon as Chen Xin talked about biochemistry, he immediately became endless, but he didn't speak loudly, as if he was only talking to a few people in front of him.

"Moreover, I believe that in addition to the function of control, these 'subworms' definitely play a role in transformation. Captain Xie. You've seen it before, there are a few iron buckets full of evolutionary zombies, and a few of them are normal humans, I don't believe that the corpses inside will separate humans and zombies and put them in the iron buckets, such a classification has no biological significance!!" Chen Xin shook his fingers, and glanced at the "Xueba Schoolgirl" in front of him out of the corner of his eye.

"Very thoughtful. So, that's the theoretical basis for your judgment that it's a parasitic control class? Su Wan still asked lightly, Chen Xin couldn't tell whether she thought it was reliable or outrageous.

After a deep sigh, Chen Xin finally decided to lift the lid, "The soldiers of the military department, except for Team Xie, have all been caught by the corpse. I doubt it...... They've all been parasitic and controlled......"

Before the words were finished, the faces of the people on both sides changed, including Zhang Baixin, everyone around raised the guns in their hands, for the surviving humans, zombies are everyone's enemies, there is no doubt about this, no matter what identity this person was before he became a zombie, after becoming a zombie, he will stand on the opposite side of all mankind, this is the position that the species naturally decides in order to survive, and no one can do it.

Xie Guoping was also silent, in fact, when he saw those hairy horns drilling into people's ears at the "Baima Port Wastewater Treatment Plant" before, he had a guess. However, he didn't want to give up on any of his comrades, even if there was only a little hope, he would not give up his efforts, and since he met Chen Xin, his hunch told him that this matter might take a turn for the better.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, bring all 6 people in the squad back to the military headquarters, and with the medical strength of the military department, there should be a way to solve the problem.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can we be controlled by zombies! Didn't you see us killing zombies just now?! When Haiyan heard what Chen Xin said, she felt a little incredible at first, it was simply nonsense, but she didn't know why, she subconsciously felt that maybe this was the case, and suddenly she felt a little chilled and a little flustered, and immediately pointed at Chen Xin and asked.

The five people standing behind the military department saw the soldiers of the Titan Company raise their guns, Haiyan pointed at Chen Xin and asked, and several of them were about to rush over.

"It's okay! Stay where you are. Before a few people made a move, Xie Guoping noticed it, and knew that if he was not careful, it might cause a conflict, so he immediately stopped it loudly, looking at them with a complicated expression.

"Are there any specific data or controlled experiments?" I don't know if Su Wan believes it or not, but still asks lightly.

"Nope. However, if there is a tool enzyme, I can prove it to you. The genes of the six of them can be seen to be obviously exogenous genes, and they must be the kind that are reintroduced into the recipient cells by recombination in vitro. When it comes to biology-related content, Chen Xin immediately became full of confidence, not to mention the things related to "subworms", for him, it is as easy as knowing the answer and regressing the result.

"Hmm...... If these results can indeed be deduced by detecting the expression of exogenous accounting molecules," Dr. Su Wan's expression finally changed a little, she beckoned again, called her subordinates, took out a simple detector, looked at Chen Xin and said, "Your ideas are very interesting, are you interested in coming to my research team." I have a type IV sequencer, a 9th generation fully automated biochemistry instrument, and a sterile inter-room operating system...... You can use it for free, and you can also be assigned a sample collection team of 10 people, how about it? ”

Su Wan is actually very accurate in seeing people, she has seen a lot of researchers like Chen Xin, as long as there is good enough research equipment, it is enough to realize the experimental expectations designed in their hearts, and everything else is not important, so she reported all the latest equipment in her hand.

Xie Guoping also heard Su Wan's words to recruit Chen Xin, but he didn't say anything, he had no reason to stop Chen Xin's own choice, for Xie Guoping, selectively saying some truths to achieve some goals was already the bottom line he thought, if he had to deceive to do something, even if it was beneficial to the public, he didn't bother to do it, so Xie Guoping just frowned and looked at Chen Xin.

Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, thinking that if there was no laboratory, he might really choose to join Su Wan's team, but it was strange to say that the equipment Su Wan said was basic

are one level higher than the laboratory equipment in the unfinished building, and the category is almost the same. With his own laboratory, there is naturally no need to stay in someone else's team as a subordinate, so Chen Xin immediately shook his head and refused.

Su Wan was a little surprised, thinking that she had seen the wrong person, this Chen Xin was not a pure research-oriented talent, or Xie Guoping over there also gave other conditions, but as far as she knew, the military's laboratory has always relied on stacking experimental data to promote research, and when it comes to the advanced degree of equipment and the level of the team, Titan is at least half a level higher than the military!

But Su Wan is also a simple person, since Chen Xin refused, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it, anyway, she also has a lot of powerful researchers under her, the invitation just now was just because of Chen Xin's novel ideas, and he also had research experience in front-line battles, he really didn't choose to join the team, Su Wan actually didn't care.

"Captain Xie, do you need to test and confirm your subordinates?" Since Chen Xin rejected him, Su Wan was no longer interested in him, but was curious about the phenomenon of the coexistence of exogenous genes and receptor genes that he said, and maybe he could solve the mystery of how the evolved zombies were generated.

When it came to this, Xie Guoping hesitated a little, he didn't know what to do if his comrades-in-arms really detected a zombie host.

Xie Guoping looked around, looked at his teammates, and felt a little sad in his heart. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person with a night vision device, it was Chen Xin who he picked up on the road, and the ghost asked in a hurry, "Xiao Chen, since you know that they have such a bug in their body, do you know how to treat it?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xin replied nonchalantly.

Hearing Chen Xin's answer, Xie Guoping's eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, and Su Wan on the side also showed a playful expression.

"Xiao Chen, do you have a way?! Anthelmintics? ”

Chen Xin didn't know why, he suddenly remembered that he ate albendazole every year on the earth, a kind of thing that can pull out parasites one after another if you eat it, almost a hundred tests, he shook his head, shook off this idea and said, "There is no medicine, these 'subworms' are actually a variant of zombies, not real bugs." And as long as it enters the human body, it will basically replace part of the human body's organs, and if it is taken out, the host will definitely not survive! ”

"Huh?" Xie Guoping was a little puzzled, and didn't understand what Chen Xin had in mind.

"Although this is my speculation, I think eight or nine are inseparable, and the principle of controlling parasites is like this, if you don't believe it, you can ask Dr. Su." After speaking, Chen Xin pointed to Su Wan on the side.

"But!" Chen Xin raised his voice and paused, "Just because it is a 'sub-worm', as long as it is aimed at the characteristics of 'sub-mother', it will be easy to do." I have two options, the first is to first sequence the gene, then develop targeted immunostimulant agents, and finally rely on the host itself to slowly assimilate. ”

"Got this potion?" Xie Guoping was surprised.

"No, and it looks like the R&D cycle is no less than two months, not including clinical trials." Chen Xin shook his head and said.

"If there is no other way, we can only wait two months." Xie Guoping frowned.

"This is impossible, according to the situation that Mr. Chen just described, within two months, your subordinates can only turn into evolved zombies, and there is not enough time at all. Tell me about your second plan. Su Wan has also been paying attention to this researcher who has repeatedly surprised her, and directly stated her opinion.

Chen Xin smiled silently, did not deny or agree, "The second method is to kill the mother worm!" ”

"Kill the mother?" Haiyan, who was standing next to Xie Guoping, couldn't help but ask, after all, it was something closely related to herself, so she couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"It's the corpse queen we saw just now, she's the female worm! The control creatures in the mother-child form all have a characteristic, as long as the mother worm is killed, the 'child worm' will fall into dormancy, and even if a new mother worm is born, the original 'child worm' cannot be awakened. ”

"But the 'subworms' are still in their bodies, and they are still active!" Su Wan coldly pointed out the problem.

"Dr. Su, we are here to solve the problem, not to solve the 'subworm'!" Chen Xin unceremoniously scolded back, just like his teacher when he was on Earth, in Chen Xin's view, as long as he can get experimental data, skip some verification processes and irrelevant ethical arguments, it is not a problem, anyway, as long as the problem is solved. However, it is precisely because of this that Chen Xin's countless pigtails have been caught by competitors in the same laboratory, and he will be reported once every time he defends his graduation, which is why Chen Xin has made a lot of scientific research achievements, but he is still only a doctoral student, not a graduate.
