Chapter 130: The Player Is Gone
Erha was taken away by Lin Fan, Lin Fan got into Mei's car, sat in the back row with her, and rushed to the laboratory.
Lin Fan asked Mei: "Have you found the reason why the bird and Zou Liang were able to move again after they died?" β
Mei nodded: "It's roughly figured out." Your guess is correct, it is indeed a virus that causes the 'corpse', and I have given it a name, called the Living Corpse Virus, which means that it can 'activate' the corpse. β
Lin Fan smiled: "The name is very vivid." β
It turned out to be exactly the same as the name given by the system.
Lin Fan asked again: "How many of us haven't been infected with the virus, right?" β
"Initial testing is not available."
Then Lin Fan asked for more details about the Living Corpse Virus.
"According to the data available now, it has been found that this virus mainly attacks the nervous system of living beings, and usually lurks in the brains of living things. Once the organism dies, stimulated by the death hormone in the brain, the virus is activated, proliferates and multiplies in large numbers, taking over the nervous system of the organism, allowing the organism to regain motor function and become a 'living corpse'. β
"Living corpse creatures are aggressive, and their strength will be slightly weaker than when they were alive. Living corpses are also infectious, and living creatures that are scratched or bitten by them can be infected with the living corpse virus. The good news, though, is that the virus doesn't appear to be deadly, at least so far. β
"But what's scary about the virus is that it infects a wide range of people. I've taken people to do a lot of experiments, and it turned out that the virus can attack all creatures with brains, and the main target is the nerve nuclei in the brain stem, which is very weird, and I have never seen it in the database, and it is definitely a new virus. β
Lin Fan nodded slightly when he heard this, and the results summarized by Mei's experiment were similar to the effect he remembered.
"By the way, is this virus easy to kill?"
May replied, "Your question is very vague. If it is outside the biological body, ordinary disinfectants, sunlight, high acid, and high alkali can destroy the virus in a few minutes or even tens of seconds. But if it is in living organisms, we have not yet found a way to eradicate it. β
"It's already good." Lin Fan praised, "Your efficiency is really fast. β
"This is the result of the overnight work of 800 researchers in the entire laboratory."
Lin Fan gave a thumbs up: "Salute to you." β
Soon, Lin Fan followed Mei to the laboratory and entered the virus test area.
Since it has been detected that the virus is not transmitted through the respiratory tract, the level of protection has been greatly reduced, and the white coats that walked around along the way did not even bring masks.
Mei pushed open a door, and Lin Fan followed in, unexpectedly seeing a familiar face.
If Lin Fan remembered correctly, he had seen this person at the banquet, and he was a sky warrior.
Lin Fan threw him a [Probe], and found that it was indeed the Sky Warrior in his memory, named Harris White, a white man.
"General White, thank you for your help." May stepped forward and shook Harris' hand.
Harris smiled, "It's all as it should be. β
With that, Harris left.
Just when Lin Fan was confused and didn't know what a general could cooperate with in the laboratory, a female assistant came over and reported to Mei: "The test results are out, and the Sky Warriors can indeed use their unique psionic organs to destroy the living corpse virus." β
The Sky Warrior has a magical psionic organ in his body, which is located in the dantian. It is precisely because of this organ that the Sky Warrior can mobilize spiritual energy more easily than the Earth Warrior. At the same time, this organ also strengthens the immunity of the Sky Warrior.
But this is not the point, the point is that Lin Fan was a little incredulous and asked, "You guys...... Take the Sky Warrior to test the virus? β
"Yes!" Mei is concise and to the point.
"They...... Don't resist? β
"They are voluntary. We must know if this emerging virus will pose a threat to the highest combat power in Dongning City. β
Mei explained, "But it's not just a test of the Sky Warrior, we will make an assessment of the threat level of the virus, and then start the experiment from the lowest level of the Martial Artist layer by layer, and the security level will be below a certain threshold, and then it will be the turn of the Sky Warrior." β
Lin Fan: "......"
This is challenging Lin Fan's selfishness.
Mei glanced at Lin Fan: "You didn't grow up in Dongning City since you were a child, you've only been here for three months, you won't understand, and we won't force you to do similar experiments." β
Lin Fan really didn't understand, but Lin Fan knew that these people were all great, and he was immediately in awe.
"Can you show me the purified virus sample?" Lin Fan said the purpose of his initiative to come to the laboratory.
Mei nodded in agreement, led him to a test bench, and pointed to a glass tube: "This is the sample." But the virus is very small, you can't see it with the naked eye, you have to look at its structure, there are electronic pictures enlarged by a microscope. β
Lin Fan didn't care what Mei said at all, he raised his hand and threw a [probe] at the glass tube.
γLiving Corpse Virus...... (omitted)γ
My God, this player's [detection] skill is a fraud, and even the virus can be [detected] out, and the mechanism of action and structure are clearly identified and illustrated.
Lin Fan exclaimed: If you find a player to come to the laboratory to engage in scientific research, it won't be against the sky every minute?!
After reading the introduction of the living corpse virus, Lin Fan found that it was indeed the same effect as he remembered, and he was ready to leave.
But at this moment, a woman in a white coat who couldn't hide the charm on her chest ran over happily: "Mei, Mei, big discovery." Ah, Lin Fan, you're also there. β
This woman's name is Huang Ling, a researcher in the laboratory, a former student of Mei, and a ...... The scale is huge.
The reason why Lin Fan knew her was because she was mainly responsible for the research and development of the "Recovery Elixir", and Lin Fan now has the task of [R&D of the "Primary Recovery Elixir"] on the panel, and the completion of the task is less than 20%.
This task was taken from Huang Ling.
"What makes you so happy? But be careful, this is a laboratory and needs to be quiet. May reproached softly.
Huang Ling's face was full of excitement: "Okay, okay, pay attention next time." But...... What a discovery!
After being induced, the living corpse virus can stimulate the division of biological cells, and its division speed is very fast, and it can even reach the level of instant healing, which is incredible. I have a hunch that this virus is definitely the key to configuring the 'Recovery Elixir'! β
When Lin Fan heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and the brain circuit of the dark path scientific researchers was really clear.
Obviously, this is a new type of virus that makes people smell and change color, and before the antidote has been found, in the eyes of scientific researchers, it has become a good medicine that has the opportunity to cure diseases and save people!
Maybe that's where the gap between me and the researchers lies......
Lin Fan complained silently, but Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously feeling that what Huang Ling said made sense.
"Let's go, May, let's go see what I've found."
Huang Ling's tone was excited, "Also, Lin Fan, you also come along, haven't you always been interested in the 'Recovery Elixir'."
In the past few months, I have provided a lot of herbs with strong restorative effects, and I have extracted a lot of highly effective biomolecules from them. You've brought me back the 'Living Corpse Virus' this time......
You're a blessing to me. Here, give my sister a kiss. β
Lin Fan dodged Huang Ling's salty pig's mouth: "Don't take advantage of me, I think you just lack a man to discipline you." β
Huang Ling smiled: "Yes, yes, I think so too." Why don't you let your sister discipline you for a few days? β
Lin Fan: "......"
Mei's face was slightly cold: "This is in the laboratory, don't talk nonsense." β
Huang Ling pulled Mei to other districts, Lin Fan took the initiative to follow, he was really curious about how to discipline ...... Ahem, how to use the living corpse virus to concoct a recovery potion.
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Huang Ling demonstrated the miraculous operation of "virus inactivationβ inducer dispensing agentsβ injecting mice β observation records".
γDing! γ
[R&D "Primary Recovery Elixir" completion +30%, current completion 47.6%, please keep up the good work.] γ
Lin Fan's eyes lit up: I found the right direction!!
Lin Fan immediately expressed his strong affirmation of Huang Ling's work, boasted, and declared that this direction was absolutely correct, so that Huang Ling could make persistent efforts.
Huang Ling was praised so much that the headlights swayed: "Hehe, Lin Fan, your mouth is so sweet, when you are free, you must remember to let your sister taste it~"
Lin Fan: "...... I'm only 17 years old, please be a man. β
Huang Ling smiled: "Then I'll wait for your 18th birthday." β
Lin Fan: "......"
Finally, Lin Fan couldn't bear Huang Ling's harassment and left the laboratory.
Coming out of the building, Lin Fan suddenly found that the sun had set.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that group of sand sculpture players for forty-eight hours, so I guess the players are already hungry and thirsty."
"Also, tomorrow morning the monster will attack the city, and I don't know if there is any news from Dongning City."
Lin Fan went out on a field trip, originally wanting to kill more monsters, but as a result, he was almost locked in the isolation room for a whole day, and his good youth was wasted like this, which was a blood loss.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan casually edited a task called [Warrior Gathering] and sent it to all players. The reward for the quest is 15 XP and 20 Aquamarine Tokens, and the quest content is to meet him in the slum xx.xx.xx after an hour.
Lin Fan first went to get his jeep back, and then drove the jeep with a hole in the roof to the meeting place and arrived at the place on time.
Nani? What about people! Why are the players gone!?
Lin Fan couldn't see anyone left and right, and suspected that he had gone to the wrong place, but after looking at the map, he found that this was indeed near the coordinates designated by his mission.
What's going on? Are these players even reluctant to ask for the experience and money they picked up for nothing? And now it's getting dark, where can they go?
At this time, suddenly three people turned out from the street corner.
Walking in front was the Almighty Ultraman, and when he saw Lin Fan, his face popped up with joy: "Nishizawa, Qiansirou, look, it's that elite monster!" β
The three of them immediately ran towards Lin Fan.
Seeing that no more people appeared from the street corner, Lin Fan helped the three of them settle the task of [Warrior Assembly], and then asked, "What about the others?" β
Almighty Ultraman said: "Lord Lin, they were all requisitioned by the military department. β
