antidote
Breaking free from the mutant octopus, the helicopter flew towards the warship flying the bright five-star red flag.
Before the helicopter had yet to stop on the tarmac of the warship, the captain of the ship, along with a group of officers and soldiers, lined up and waited there early.
Yang Gang and Zhao Xin, who were waiting for the helicopter, led the rescued survivors out of the helicopter.
The captain took the lead in saluting the two of them with a standard military salute, and all the officers and soldiers also saluted the two of them, seeing that Yang Gang and Zhao Xin also returned a powerful military salute to the captain and everyone.
"Good work, comrade!" The captain was the first to speak, and stretched out his hands to hold Yang Gang's hand tightly.
"Where are the rules! Yang Gang, the squad leader of the second squad of the first battalion of the wolf warrior special forces, successfully completed the task of rescuing the survivors! Please the chief instructs! Yang Gang returned to the captain.
"Good! Good! Good! Come with me. With that, the captain led a group of people back to the warship.
The news of the successful rescue of the survivors was transmitted from the warship to the Chengdu headquarters via satellite, and everyone in the command room breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves and hanging hearts were finally relaxed.
"Captain, do you know about mutant octopuses?" Yang Gang asked the captain.
"Yes, we knew it on the night when the Snowers dropped the black water."
"When the two soldiers were patrolling the deck, one of them was dragged into the water by the mutant octopus, and the other soldier came to me in a panic to report it, and we knew about this monster from then on."
"So how many people did we sacrifice, and did these mutant octopuses have any effect on the warship?" Yang Gang asked the captain.
"Because the warship is big enough, the steel hull is impossible for them to penetrate, and it doesn't affect us in any way other than the usual entanglement of the propellers."
"Entangled in the propeller, then we can't move?!"
"You can rest assured that the propellers on the warship are not comparable to the ones of fishing boats, as long as they start, the mutated octopus wrapped around the propeller will be ground into meat sauce, and naturally they will no longer be entangled in it."
Hearing this, Yang was relieved just now.
"Captain, there is an instruction from the Chengdu headquarters to ask you to go over and answer the phone." One of the guards came running to the captain.
"You guys rest first, I'll answer the phone." The captain walked away.
Before Yang Gang could break free from the grief of losing his comrades, a new task was issued.
"Yang Gang! Zhao Xin! The captain summoned.
"In!" The two of them instantly got up and replied to the captain.
"Our department has received a new mission, and the Chengdu side has planned an evacuation route, using our helicopters to escort the survivors to Wuhan, from Wuhan to Chongqing, and finally back to Chengdu." The captain explained the task to the two people.
"Squad Leader Yang is going to work hard for you again this time, the headquarters knows that when you find the survivors, I can't wait to ask you to lead the survivors back, I originally wanted you to rest for a day before leaving, but the headquarters is too urgent, I hope you understand." The captain said ashamedly.
"It's totally as it should be, the sooner she is sent back to headquarters, the more time will be given to humanity, time waits for no one, let's go immediately!"
The helicopter was refueling, and Yang Gang also obtained the necessary supplies and ammunition on the warship, and then the three of them flew towards Wuhan in the helicopter together.
Since the Snowman starship was still hovering over Shanghai, the helicopter had to fly around the Snowman warship from the south in the direction of Wuhan.
The helicopter flew about 2 kilometers above the ground. Looking down from the plane, the bustling scene of Shanghai is gone, and only the new Oriental Pearl Tower and a few towering Shanghai landmarks remain.
In the east of Shanghai, because the masses have already evacuated, there is a lifeless appearance, and in the west is the section of the road where the people have fled, all kinds of vehicles collide together, blocking the entire Shanghai Avenue, and those horizontal and vertical cars are still emitting black smoke from gasoline burning, and the zombies on the road are wandering aimlessly.
Looking at this dilapidated city, Yang Gang closed his eyes and thought about the prosperity of the past, and fell asleep because he was too tired after the battle.
The tremor of the helicopter on the tarmac in Wuhan woke up Yang Gang from his sleep, and he was looking at the plane parked on a hospital building.
Due to the timely closure of the hospital and the strengthening of the protection of the local armed forces, this hospital was separated from the zombies infected from the outside world.
The helicopter was refueling, and Yang Gang also got off the plane and walked to the guardrail next to it.
A huge steel partition wall has been built around the hospital to separate the zombies on the periphery from the hospital inside, and there is a small signal tower in the hospital square, which is probably because of this thing The hospital has become the object of military protection.
After refueling, the helicopter flew to Chongqing, a second location, with Yang Gang and others.
Flying all the way, Yang Gang looked at the ruined city that had been infected by the virus, the mutated and wandering zombies, which had become numb, and he was now only thinking about the day when people would defeat the virus.
He glanced at the survivor across from him, his eyes filled with hope.
After refueling in Chongqing, the plane flew to the final location, the headquarters in Chengdu.
It was already 8 p.m. after several journeys from Shanghai to Chengdu, and the airport where the helicopter landed was already full of people. Many leaders and scientists, including the Minister of Military Affairs and Wang Min.
As soon as he got off the helicopter, Yang Gang didn't have time to salute the minister, his hands were tightly held by the minister, and he trembled vigorously.
All the people on the plane came down, and only 2 of the previous 5 special forces fighters remained, and the minister instantly understood something, and he didn't ask.
Not coming back means sacrifice, "the people will remember them, they are heroes." The minister spoke.
"Where the job is, from birth to death, we are duty-bound!" Yang Gang returned.
"Squad Leader Yang, please go back and rest, and leave the rest to those experts." At this time, Wang Min opened his mouth.
After obtaining the minister's consent, Yang Gang and Zhao Xin dragged their tired bodies away, leaving only a back that gradually faded away and disappeared into the night.
After Wang Min calmed the woman's emotions, he told her about the process of taking antibodies from her, it would not be very painful, only some blood, and the experts would not know what to do next after research.
The woman calmed down a lot after listening to Wang Min's words, and then followed the experts into the laboratory.
After taking a tube of blood from the rescued woman, the experts arranged for her to live in a separate quarter, surrounded by soldiers 24 hours a day.
After obtaining the original blood sample, virologists and geneticists from all over the world were busy all night.
American virologist Fauci found during the experiment that the blood taken from the survivors and the blood obtained from the zombies did not mix, which proved that the survivors had indeed formed antibodies to the zombie virus. And this result did not satisfy him.
Originally, he imagined that the blood of the survivors could be combined with the blood of the zombies, so that we could inject the people who had become zombies or put the antidote in the food, and the zombies would slowly regain their humanity and sanity after eating the food with the antidote.
But as things stand, it is clear that it has not met Dr. Fauci's expectations, and it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment.
Since the zombies that have been infected cannot be saved, they can only vaccinate the people who are not infected, so as not to be infected by the zombies.
The process of making a vaccine is also arduous and lengthy, because people have different types of blood, and not everyone can directly use blood samples taken from survivors.
There is a need to make a zombie virus vaccine that everyone can vaccinate, so all scientists are engaged in the production and research of this vaccine against zombie virus.
After another 3 days, all the leaders and experts got together for another meeting.
"We've made a zombie virus vaccine, and there hasn't been rejection during the experiment, because there is a lack of testing on humans, so the vaccine can't be used directly on humans," Dr. Fauci said.
"So we're only one human trial away from the success of the vaccine, right?" The Chinese military minister asked.
"Yes, if it works on the human body without any rejection or side effects, then the vaccine is a success."
"Leave it to me to find a test subject, the meeting continues." After that, the minister walked out of the door with Wang Min.
"Minister," Wang Min spoke.
"What's wrong?" The minister wondered.
"You're going to find Yang Gang and them, can't you find someone else? They've already given enough. ”
"From the moment they became the People's Liberation Army, their lives no longer belong to themselves, but to the country, and now that the country is in trouble, humanity is in trouble, it is time for them to come forward, and I believe they will understand."
"Then leave this matter to me, after all, they are your soldiers, you can't let them take risks one after another, let me do it today."
The minister thought about it and there was nothing wrong with it, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to find human test subjects, as soon as possible."
After that, he returned to the conference room and discussed something with the leaders of various countries.
Wang Min, accompanied by two soldiers, went to the miscellaneous training base for soldiers from various countries.
"All assembled!" The regiment commander gave an order.
Everyone gathered neatly towards the head of the group, Dr. Wang.
"Announcing one thing today, our experts have successfully developed a vaccine." The head of the regiment said.
Hearing this, before the regiment commander could continue, the applause of the soldiers had already sounded.
"Silence! Quiet! I haven't finished speaking, the vaccine has been developed, but it is still in the experiment, and the purpose of Dr. Wang's coming here today is to find people who are willing to conduct human experiments. But let me say it first, no one can guarantee that the vaccine will have side effects, and I will not force you to voluntarily accept the step forward of the experiment! ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Gang had already taken a step forward, "Report!" I volunteered for human experimentation. ”
"Think clearly before you answer! Go back! Think again! The head of the regiment yelled at Yang Gang.
"Report to the head of the group, I have thought it through, I am calm, no one forced me, I am voluntary!" Yang Gang didn't let it go at all.
Seeing this, the head of the regiment didn't say much, and asked again: "Is there anyone else who is willing?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone took a step forward, and this scene stunned Wang Min.
"I only need 3 people, and since you all volunteer, I'll pick whatever you want." After Wang Min finished speaking, he began to look at all the team members, like a hunter picking his prey.
"You, you, and you come out." Wang Min ordered a soldier from the 1st platoon, 3rd platoon, and 4th platoon each to come out and lead them away.
"Report! Why don't you choose me? Yang Gang saw that the person selected by Wang Min did not have him, so he asked Wang Min.
"Squad Leader Yang, my number is enough, and I don't need to sacrifice anything on you." Wang Min said to Yang Gang.
"My soldiers even have the courage to sacrifice their lives, and I am not even qualified to sacrifice myself as an experimental subject now?"
Yang Gang's words stopped Wang Min, she looked at this man who was more than one meter and eighty, sweat flowed on his camouflage face, and his eyes were full of firmness and sincerity.
"You, go back, squad leader Yang come with me."
Wang Min sent back one of the soldiers and pulled Yang Gang into the ranks. Together with the leader, they walked towards the laboratory.
The three of them stripped off all their clothes in the lab, except for a circle of white cloth around the most important parts. The body is also covered with various instruments to measure blood pressure, heartbeat, and so on.
In order to prevent the experimenters from rejecting the vaccine or becoming uncontrollable side effects, the trio's hands and legs were chained with thick iron chains.
The three of them were guided by experts to repair and came to 3 separate rooms, the room was closed on 3 sides, only the front was separated by a thick layer of tempered glass, and all the experts and leaders were on the other side of the tempered glass.
Through the glass, the minister used the microphone to call out to the three people in the room: "Do you have anything else to say, comrades?"
"Nope!" Although Yang Gang and the other two soldiers were not in the same room, their voices answered almost together.
"In that case, the experiment begins."
After the minister finished speaking, Yang Gang and the other two people were lying on a white stretcher bed at the suggestion of the work assistant.
I saw that the assistants used the needle to extract a bottle of medicine containing a light blue liquid, and after extracting, drained the air in the needle, and injected it into the veins on the forearms of the three experimenters.
After the injection was completed, the experts stared closely at the data on the operating table, which recorded the heartbeat, blood pressure, and body temperature of the experimenter.
A minute has passed.
"Heart rate 77, blood pressure 124, body temperature 36.4, no abnormalities in the subject". The assistant said.
None of the experimenters on the other side of the glass window were abnormal.
After 3 minutes. All experimenters, including Yang Gang, have obviously changed.
The assistant reported that this was against Yang Gang again, and other assistants were also reporting in their experimental windows.
"Heart rate 107, blood pressure 151, body temperature 39.6, all the data of the experimenter are abnormal." The assistant said. The crowd and experts were stunned when they heard this, and the close man had just run 400 meters at top speed and had just stopped the data he was observing.
Obviously, this data is not right, and when I look at the experimenters, I see that the blood vessels in their limbs have swelled, their bodies are trembling, and their facial expressions seem to be in great pain.
"It's not good because it's rejection!" Fauci, an expert on the side, exclaimed.
After a while, the three of them rolled off the stretcher bed tremblingly, apparently no longer under their control.
After a while, the three of them got up from the ground in a choked manner, and by this time their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked vicious and aggressive.
"What went wrong? Why didn't the mice originally used in the experiment have such symptoms? It's just that the action has become more active. American expert Fauci said.
"Be active!" In an instant, Fauci woke up like a dream, probably because the active performance of the mice did not attract his attention, and the side effects of this vaccine were clearly seen when the vaccine was applied to people.
At this time, Yang Gang and the other 2 experimenters had already begun to frantically use the iron chains in their hands to fiercely hit the leaders and experts on the opposite side of the glass window, if it were not for the protection of tempered glass, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The recorder on them was still there, but the data on the console showed that the heart rate was 95, the blood pressure was 134, and the body temperature was 38.5.
Although the side effects of the vaccine have caused them to become aggressive, they are fundamentally different from zombies in appearance and actions, they have not become zombies, but have lost their rationality and become aggressive.
The guards shot the tranquilizer-filled guns through the crack in the door towards the three experimenters, and since they were only concerned with smashing at the tempered glass and not paying attention to the situation behind them, the guards easily succeeded.
After a while, the sedative took effect, and the three of them only felt weak and weak under the effect of the sedative, and drowsiness hit their minds. He passed out in the laboratory.
Realizing what the problem was, Fauci and other experts began to return to the research lab to work on vaccine improvement.
Because I was too obsessed with the research on the contagiousness of the zombie virus, I ignored the most important point.
The most important thing about the horror of the zombie virus is not the infection and transmission, but the ability of the virus to invade people's consciousness and thinking.
If the infected person is still conscious, then the virus is controllable because the virus erodes the consciousness of the person and makes the infected person extremely aggressive. That's what's really scary about the zombie virus.
Now the question is, the zombie virus antibody is already there, but the vaccinated person has the antibody but has become a mad dog, what can I do?
When a group of scientists were at a loss in the virus laboratory, suddenly! An Australian scientist spoke.
"Judging from the three vaccinated experimenters, their bodies have not changed from ordinary people, and the only change is that their bodies are not under conscious control, in other words, the side effects after vaccination."
"And this side effect is to make the experimenter's action become active, the body becomes unconscious, we only need to add a sedative gene or inhibition of active thinking substances to the vaccine to offset this side effect, so as to develop a real zombie vaccine."
"Makes sense, but all animals in nature are belligerent, where to find this anger-inhibiting gene?" Fauci asked the Australian scientist.
"There is a creature that is inherently inactive. The genes of this creature should have what we need. ”
"What creature?!" Fauci asked.
"Sloth!"
Dr. Fauci thought about all living things, but forgot about the most important and inconspicuous sloth. The reminder from the Australian expert made him suddenly realize.
The Chengdu Biogene Bank contains 92% of the world's known biological specimens and genes. Of course, the sloth genetics can also be found here.
After Dr. Fauci retrieved the sloth's genes from the gene bank, he rushed to the virus research lab to get busy with a group of scientists.
Because they were numbed by the sedative, Yang Gang and the other two experimental soldiers were tied to a large bed, and their limbs were tied to the bedposts at the four corners of the bed with thick iron chains, and they could not move.
As soon as the anesthetic passed, the iron chain was pulled like crazy, and the bed made a "crunch, crunch" sound.
Wang Min outside the window saw this scene. Tears swirled in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
