Valentine used various instruments in the real room to conduct a complete facial examination of Zhou Ai's body, agreeing with Tang Fang's speculation that Zhou Ai's vest and colorful scales were fighting fiercely against the phagosome.

He pulled up the DNA model map of the color scale sample collected during the last examination for Zhou Ai from the computer, and said, "Do you remember this DNA model map?" ”

Tang Fang looked at the polyhedral DNA strand composed of Ipsisaurus gene fragments and phagosome gene fragments and nodded.

"I remember telling you that the Ipsilons gene can inhibit phagosome gene activity, leaving them in a state of 'hibernation'. ”

Tang Fang nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"I also told you that Zhou Ai's human genes had undergone subtle mutations during the last 'molt', and some genetic materials were replaced by the genetic materials of the Ipsilons, which gave her body a new lease of life."

Tang Fang nodded again.

Valentine went on to explain: "According to your statement, Zhou Ai was injured under the hands of the long-tongued deformed monster, and a certain number of phagosomes entered his body. In the case of ordinary people, the phagosome body changes the genetic structure through guò to hold human genes hostage, thus triggering a large-scale assimilation phenomenon that completely occupies the human body and becomes a phagosome polymer. ”

"But Zhou Ai's situation is different from ordinary people, it has the genetic material of the Epsilon in its body, and the color scales contain a wealth of Epsilon gene fragments, which brings great difficulty to the phagosome's assimilation of her somatic cells, and the body has a strong rejection reaction to the foreign body, so as to launch a fierce struggle, the phagosome gene and the Ipsilon gene began to see-saw and fight against her body as a battlefield, which led to Zhou Ai's body having a pathological reaction."

Tang Fang said: "So, her current situation is somewhat similar to Roy's situation at the beginning? Is it possible to use 'feeding fluid' to support human cells and let them expel phagosomes? ”

Valentine smiled bitterly: "You have also seen Roy's situation, the phagosome is a creature with extremely tenacious vitality. It's easier said than done to squeeze them out of the human body...... Moreover, this time the phagosome was a little different from the phagosome in Roy's body at that time, it was very aggressive, and the rejection reaction of the human body had no effect in front of it at all, if it weren't for the suppression of the genetic fragments of the Ipsi Dragon, I am afraid that it would have devoured her body long ago. ”

"It's also a place that bothers me. The phagosome gene composition in Zhou Ai's body is somewhat different from the phagosome gene obtained by Faraday, its genetic code has been modified, and in addition to the original phagosome gene chain, there is another deadly virus gene that can infect the human body. ”

"That's what you're talking about." Tang Fang summoned Nurse MM, put the blood-colored parasite sample obtained from "Etiya" Kandal Island into a sealed biosample box, and said, "This is the parasite that turned the body of Duke Congreve into a corpse beast. ”

Next, he briefly recounted the origin of the parasite and the experience of going to "Rourzan".

Valentine showed a contemplative expression after hearing this, and did not expect that a seemingly simple rescue operation would involve so many things, and even the "Brotherhood" and the "Supreme Security Council" were involved.

The elderly biology professor walked back and forth in front of the hospital bed many times. Looking at Zhou Ai, who was still frowning from time to time in his sleep, showing a painful appearance, he said: "Based on the above reasons, I don't approve of the use of 'feeding fluid'. ”

"First, there's no guarantee that what happened to Roy will happen again, and the chance of a phagosome merging with human tissue is very low, and it's a risky thing to do, unless it's like Roy did before. If you don't give it a try, he will die in a very short time. The situation of Zhou Ai is different. Judging from the current situation, the genetic material of the Ipsisaurus is in a delicate balance with the genetic material of the phagosome, and her life will not be endangered in the short term. ”

Of course, the confrontation between the two will take a heavy toll on her body, causing damage and pain, but as long as the medical resources are sufficient. It can last for a long time. ”

"Second, I don't know what will happen next if the feeding solution is used, but from the analysis of the existing numbers, it is possible that the genetic components of the hemochromatic parasite will be activated. Let Zhou Ai follow in the footsteps of Congreve. After all, phagosomes are a special creature, although they have a strong phagocytic ability, the human body will more or less have a rejection reaction, once it is supported by feeding, it is very likely that a large number of normal human cells that happened to Roy at the beginning encircled a small number of phagocytic somatic cells. ”

"But the virus gene carried by the hemochromatic parasite is different, its predecessor is the 'Brotherhood' primitive parasite, which is completely preserved for human genetic surgery, and the hemochromatic parasite inherits this ability, making it extremely infectious. As you know, the phagosome is a creature with a finite mind, and it is very likely that it will release the blood-colored parasite gene in the gene chain when it senses that the tide is over, destroying Zhou Ai's body like detonating a 'nuclear bomb'. ”

"Based on the above two points, the method of using 'feeding liquid' to catalyze human cells to drive away phagosomes is likely to backfire and miss Zhou Ai's life."

After listening to Valentine's tirade, Tang Fang was very glad that he did not advocate the use of "feeding fluid" to treat Zhou Ai.

"What if I can't be treated with 'fluids'?"

Zhou Ai was already injured under the phagosome polymer for the second time, the first time was the battle with "Tai Sui", at that time, because of the superiority of the Ipsisaurus gene, the phagosome was sealed in the center of the color scale gene, and now it was injured by the phagosome polymer again, and the genetic advantage of the Ipsilons was no longer there, and it turned into a tug-of-war, which made her suffer.

He was already heartbroken for Zhou Ai's preference for being wronged and sad rather than seeing Claire get hurt, although she had always looked like a female man, she cherished her very much. Now the emotional suffering has not subsided, and he has endured physical torture.

He sat down next to the edge of the bed, squeezing her hand tightly, reflecting on the past.

She didn't have the pitiful background of Clea, nor the sad past of Kyrenia, nor was she a person who had ever died like Freya.

She has a noble background, is very good, beautiful and kind, independent, strong, and is a woman who can take charge of herself. But she is such a strong girl, but she has experienced so many setbacks, as if the goddess of fate deliberately played tricks on her.

is obviously a heroine-like character, but she was forced to marry a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to spend all day drinking. He even has to share his new wife's bastard with his fox friends and dog friends.

She killed him, but for this offense against the empire, she was sentenced to death.

After separating from Planet 5, in order not to implicate him, he ruthlessly chose to leave, but lost the opportunity for the two to know and love each other. When "Megar" meets again, it is already a matter of things, and Claire is like a chasm, between the two of them.

Later, he sent the gods to expose her heart and dream of enjoying the blessings of all people, but she did not agree to anything, and chose to endure it without reason, preferring to cry secretly when she was not around, rather than see Claire sad.

Now, in order to save the veterans, he has let himself suffer from this.

Does steel have to be beaten? The flowers that bloom on the plateau must bear the pain of wind and frost?

It's really not fair.

Her hands were cold. She was trembling slightly, her sideburns were scattered and her hair hung on her pale cheeks, and her frowning eyebrows made her look like a little girl who was having nightmares.

Yes, now she is completely a cute little girl, not the selfless concubine who is strict with herself and has an iron face.

It's really distressing.

He suddenly realized that he owed her a lot, even though it was for her own reasons, such as the fact that she deliberately avoided him sometimes. deliberately pretended to be confused, and endured the sadness to push him to Claire.

But there's no denying it. Cheng Dù, who cared about her, was indeed not as high as Claire and Freya, always regarded her as a person who had the ability to take care of herself and never cared about her, and ignored the essence of her being a girl.

He will be troubled by Freya's temperament, he will talk to Claire, and he will kiss her face. Her lips, but to Zhou Ai...... What did he do to express the feelings in his heart?

No, nothing!

He has become accustomed to taking from Zhou Ai instead of giving.

Claire's dream is to overthrow the tyranny of the Stewart family and restore the people of Monya.

Freya just wanted to be with him. Never separated, and all who dared to stop her from being with him were enemies.

Only Zhou Ai never wanted to get anything from him, just kept giving and paying.

He felt guilty and distressed, and if possible, he really hoped that the person who was lying on the hospital bed and suffering was himself, not her.

Valentin looked at his somewhat lonely back against the white sheets, and said: "We know too little about 'phagosomes', and the phagosome samples obtained in the past are all artificially modulated products. ”

"It's a pity it's difficult...... No one knows where they are at the moment. ”

Since the defeat and collapse of the Supreme Security Council at the end of the Blue Revolution, the remnants of the Security Council have turned from light to darkness, completely dormant, and have chosen to develop slowly in order to make a comeback. It is difficult to get their tracks.

Even a national force like the Silver Eagle Regiment can't find their lair, let alone the "Morning Star Forge".

Tang Fang did not reply immediately, he suddenly thought of the transport team that had landed in "Rourzan" at that time.

The men were from the Edward's Fleet Landing Force, and the phagosome samples that formed the "Bloodwing Elf" were released by the scientists they escorted. Could those scientists be the Supreme Security Council? Even if they weren't, how did the phagosome samples go? Why would they use phagosomes against the people of the "Brotherhood"? Also, did Sulbacho know about this? And what role does it play?

"If that doesn't work, we can also target the 'Brotherhood', and since they have the ability to develop the original parasite and a derivative version of the blood-colored parasite, there must be a way to control it. And I'm more concerned about the fact that the spore mass emitted by the clone mutant's right arm can suppress the phagosome. ”

"I remember that when I first examined the right arm of the clone that was devoured by Roy, I found a fragment of the Epsilon gene in the DNA chain, which may be the reason why the spore cluster can suppress the phagosome, and it also indirectly indicates that the 'Brotherhood' has a tissue sample of the Epsilon man, maybe we can inject more Epsilon genes into Zhou Ai's body to suppress the phagosome."

"Since the people of the 'Brotherhood' can combine the Epsilon genes with the human genes, so that the clones have far more combat power than ordinary people, we can naturally do the same, but this requires a long period of scientific research, more advanced practical equipment, databases, biological samples, and more manpower. This is something we don't have. ”

"There's a quick way to do this – rob the 'Brotherhood'! They're not good people anyway. ”

Valentin walked up to him and stood still, his gaze fell on his hand with Zhou Ai's fingers interlocked, and said, "So, I suggest that you either aim at the 'Supreme Security Council' or the 'Brotherhood', which is a matter of Zhou Ai's life." Don't be rash. ”

Tang Fang took a deep breath, looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Elder Wa." ”

Valentine shook his head and looked at Zhou Ai on the hospital bed: "She is very much like a student of mine, so stubborn, so strong......"

Tang Fang knew who he was talking about, that girl was the youngest of Valentine's students, but unfortunately she had turned into a ghost under the beam of the "archangel".

"In the days I am away, please take good care of her."

Valentin said: "Don't worry, even if you don't say it. I'll do the same. ”

He didn't say anything more, let go of the hand that was holding Zhou Ai's five fingers, combed her sideburns and scattered hair, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "Wait for me to come back." "Get up and go outside.

Zhou Ai's originally frowning eyebrows stretched slightly, I don't know if it was because he felt relieved to hear his voice, or because the pain in his back temporarily subsided.

…………

Leaving the scientific room, Claire, Linglong and others surrounded her. Ask about Zhou Ai's situation.

So I briefly recounted what Valentine had said.

Several people were a little relieved to hear that Zhou Ai's life was not in danger for the time being.

That's when it happened. Byron, Bai Hao, Haosen and others rushed over to visit the girl's injury as soon as they heard the news.

Originally, according to Tang Fang's arrangement, Byron should stay in "Dillard" with the "Angel Quan", but for some reason, I heard that this operation was to save people in "Etiah", and he handed over the task of staying to Jian Chen and Stephen? Sue, cheekily squeezed onto the shuttle bus of the "Morning Star". When others asked him why he came with him, he didn't answer, just grinning and coping with it.

He, Hausen, Aros, Zhou Ai, and one Eva, who has returned to the Omega space station, followed Tang Fang together with Planet 5. The few people who survived in the end had a closer relationship.

Hearing that Zhou Ai was seriously injured, they were sweating profusely.

Even Haosen, who was always punished for making mistakes, didn't have the strength to grit his teeth at Zhou Ai in the past, and asked him worriedly what to do next?

Tang Fang walked back and forth in the rest area for a while, and instructed Claire to inform the crew to leave the asteroid belt and prepare for battle.

He then tells Yingluo to wake Freya and return to the Seraph.

…………

From rescuing Philips and Benny Sr., to infiltrating the "Rourzan" scientific research institute, and then to joining the "Morning Star", it has been 15 hours since the Edward fleet blockaded "Etiya".

The ground forces have been conducting search work, but there has been no substantial progress, not to mention the whereabouts of the Tang side, and even those golden flying machines have disappeared one after another, as if they have evaporated in this world out of thin air.

Space-based reconnaissance satellites, early warning unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based radar stations, airborne ships, ...... All kinds of reconnaissance units have inspected almost every inch of "Etiya", and even sent anti-high-pressure submarine units to carry out search missions on the seabed, but the results are desperate, and no suspicious signs have been found.

Some people think that Captain Tang has left "Etiah", because someone in Fort Norr City took pictures of the golden flying machine taking off, and several high-ranking merchants and their families close to Philips and Benny Sr. also disappeared together, and the blockade of Edward's fleet is likely to be empty, and the young duke used a lot of manpower and material resources in vain, and failed to avenge his father.

However, although the inference that Captain Tang had left "Etiya" became closer to the truth as time went by, the Edward fleet that shuttled back and forth in high-altitude orbit and wrapped the entire planet in layers did not disperse, and no one laughed at the Knarr family for being slapped in the face because of this incident, and the young duke paid the due price for his stubbornness.

It's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare!

Because outside the air terminal leading to Starport in the city of Knollburg, there are many people tied to the tall trees on both sides of the highway...... Many dead people, or human heads, are a little more accurate.

It is hard to imagine that in such a civilized society, there would be such barbaric acts in such a civilized society.

But the pale faces, the bloody knife edges, and the dried brown blood stains on the concrete floor, and the wind blowing through the heads of people swaying back and forth like tree fruits, confirmed to everyone who passed by that the qiē in front of them was real, not an illusory dream, or the artistically processed historical films on the screen.

Many women screamed, many children trembled, and some cars crashed into highway guardrails while driving, causing car accidents.

TV programs and online media reported on this in depth, describing the dead as colluding with foreign forces to conspire for treason, and unprecedentedly presented this scene to the eyes of the "Etiya" civilians without any technical processing, allowing them to see a real and cruel bloody scene. Even if some people scream and curse for this, some people cry because of this, and some people block the door of the media and the government to question why they are doing this.

They were driven away, arrested and beaten without any decent explanation.

Because this is an order from the government, or rather, from the new Duke Sulbacho? Knard's categorical order. (To be continued......)
