() "What? Dr. Chen? Is it Dr. Chen Yi? Where is he now?! ”

The experimenter, Lu Chuan, asked me with wide eyes.

"It's Dr. Chen Yi, what? Do you know? ”

I'm also very surprised, basically I rarely hear someone called Dr. Chen Chen Yi, could it be that this Lu Chuan is very familiar with Dr. Chen?

"How is my master, how is he now? Is he alive? ”

Jing Chuan rushed directly to my side and grabbed my hand, he was very excited, his breathing was also very rapid, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"Don't get excited, I'll tell you slowly."

Suddenly being held by a big man, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I first let this Lu Chuan's mood stabilize a little.

I haven't heard of it, when did Dr. Chen have an apprentice? How come I've never seen one?

Jing Chuan didn't look embarrassed by me taking his hands away, but looked at me fixedly, wanting an answer from me.

"Dr. Chen died at the Fengtian epidemic prevention station."

I couldn't bear it a little, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to hide this kind of thing, so I told it bluntly.

"What?.. My master he.. Killed by an infected? ...”

Jing Chuan's vision suddenly became blurred, and his body trembled even more.

"No, Dr. Chan was not attacked by an infected person, he died of advanced liver cancer."

I think it's necessary to tell Dr. Lu Chuan Chen why he died, at least this way of dying seems to be relatively normal and more acceptable.

"Liver cancer? ...”

When Lu Chuan heard me say this, he had an expression of disbelief.

"Your master died a glorious death, and he was telling me until the last moment how to stop this disaster, he is a hero."

I continued, hoping that Lu Chuan could quickly digest this matter and not delay the normal progress of our research.

When Lu Chuan heard my words, he didn't say anything, but stiffened his body and returned to his position and sat down. He couldn't listen to what we were talking about, and his mind went blank. I shook my head and sighed, estimating that after a while he would slowly accept it.

"Okay, now it's time to talk about where to start. Brother Fang, let me pick out the results of your previous research. ”

I shifted the conversation back to drug development, hoping to get back on track as soon as possible.

I still have to listen to the results of their previous experiments, although the starting point is wrong, but there is still some reference value.

Fang Qing nodded, walked to the side of the data box, took out a thick experiment record from it, and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, January 10th, H1 Special Drug Experiment Test Subject: Infected. Gender: Male, aged about 35. After three minutes and 16 seconds of drug injection, the blood at the wound gradually took on a natural color, the vital signs gradually stabilized, the high fever and night sweats gradually disappeared, and the phenomenon of the K virus multiplying disappeared, but its internal structure was not damaged. Two minutes later, the subject's heart rate suddenly became abnormal, the amount of white blood cells in the blood decreased sharply, and the wound was grayish-black again. Seventeen seconds later, vital signs disappear and death is confirmed. Thirty-five minutes and twenty-seven seconds later, he regained mobility and transformed into an infected person again. ”

Fang Qing carefully told me about the experimental effect of the first special medicine.

"Well, go ahead."

I nodded and let him continue.

On January 13th, H2 Special Drug Experiment Subject: Infected. Gender: Female, aged about 40. Two minutes and eight seconds after the injection of the drug, the body function gradually returned to normal. Heart rate, blood pressure, hemoglobin gradually stabilized. Ten minutes later, he began to hallucinate, became delirious, had difficulty breathing, and had an extremely painful expression. After one minute and five seconds, the vital signs disappeared completely. Transformed into an infected person again. January 30..."

"February 1st, H5 Special Drug Experiment Test Subject: Infected. Male, aged approximately 25. Four minutes and 18 seconds after the drug injection, the blood color at the wound gradually became normal, and the skin necrotic cells quickly recovered

Normal color, all functional indicators have reached normal, and the color of the eyeballs has changed from red to white, which is no different from normal people, but the eyes are scattered and there is no autonomous consciousness. After three hours, the indicators suddenly increased sharply, and they began to be infected, and after becoming infected, they had a manic temperament, and their speed and strength were far greater than before. ”

He kept talking about the experimental records for about half an hour, during which Fang Qing didn't know how much water he drank, and in the end he didn't even want to speak.

"Thank you, Brother Fang."

I listened carefully from beginning to end, not a word fell, and after saying thank you to Fang Qing, I lowered my head and fell into deep thought.

It seems that the drugs they have developed have some effect, but it is still the wrong path. It can be seen from the last H5 reagent experiment report that rash experiments will eventually lead to fierce resistance from the mutant cells in the infected person, and eventually evolve. This experiment is not enough, if the subsequent experiments do not develop in a good direction, but instead create a more ferocious and violent monster, it will be too late to say anything.

Taking the experimental record in Fang Qing's hand, I said to everyone while flipping through it.

"It seems that the drugs we developed before are also improving little by little, but I believe everyone already knows that this is not a virus at all. I took a look at it, and our medicine contains a lot of chemicals that anesthetize nerves, and the infected people who were tested were all in better condition at first, and there were no obvious symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and confusion. When this symptom develops, it is a direct death. In other words, the mutant cells can be temporarily anesthetized, but they will not be killed. So I think we should think differently. ”

At this point, everyone looked at me intently, wanting to hear what I could do.

"Another characteristic of mutant cells is replication, which is infinite replication. They use themselves as nourishment, constantly splitting and absorbing, and have broken the conventional law of conservation of energy. So if we focus our research on blocking the continued replication of mutant cells, so that they don't have enough nutrients to divide and spread, wouldn't we be able to directly kill the infected? In this way, our goal can be considered to have been achieved. If there are no infected people in the world, mankind will be able to get out of the epidemic prevention station again and rebuild our homeland. ”

I shared my thoughts with the crowd, and they were amazed and seemed to agree with my idea.

"By the way, did you know that infected people can evolve?"

This question occurred to me.

Everyone else shook their heads and said they didn't know there was such a thing. It seems that there has not been a large-scale attack of the infected army at the epidemic prevention station in the capital for the time being, and there are not so many corpses of infected people to provide nourishment for other infected people.

"From what I've observed, the infected can evolve. As for other carbon-based organisms, I have only seen infected dogs that have evolved, and other species have not found a tendency for them to evolve again. After evolution, the speed and strength of the infected, and even the intelligence have been greatly improved, so we must speed up the progress of research, if we encounter a large number of evolutionary infected, then the capital epidemic prevention station may also be captured. ”

These days, evolutionary infections have been a nightmare for our small team. Now thinking about the guys I saw at the Fengtian Epidemic Prevention Station at that time, I was faintly afraid.

Hangcheng gas tank processing plant

"It's better not to play dumb with me, say it quickly! Where did you come from? What are you doing here?! ”

When the bald brother Wang saw that Lao Liu and Zhou Ping didn't say a word, he suddenly became angry in his heart.

Lao Liu and Zhou Ping are now dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit, and they are not in a very sober state.

"You guys. . . What do you want to do? ...”

Lao Liu seemed to be a little unsupportable, and his body was crooked on the ground panting, but he still asked some useless questions.

"What the hell! My eldest brother asks you, are you deaf? ”

It was still the short and thin young man next to him, who came to Lao Liu's side angrily and kicked Lao Liu in the back.

"Ahh

Lao Liu screamed,

Then he rolled over to the gas tank storage area that was piled up next to him, and his body actually hit the gas tank.

"Brother Liu! Brother Liu, are you alright?! ”

Zhou Ping came to Lao Liu's side in a row, very worried about Lao Liu's current situation.

Lao Liu lay on the ground, writhing in some pain, and his facial features were almost together.

"What the hell are you!"

The thug saw that Zhou Ping was still unconvinced, and wanted to come up and beat Zhou Ping again.

"That's it!"

The man named Brother Wang couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stopped the next action of the short and thin young man. This little gangster is not light or heavy, the lesson is a lesson, and the attack is too heavy.

When the little thug heard the bald king's words, he didn't dare to make any more mistakes, and his body stopped in place.

"Where the hell are you from? Looking at the license plate, you should have come from the capital, what are you doing here? ”

The bald brother continued to ask.

"We came from the capital epidemic prevention station."

Lao Liu said with a painful face, in order to suffer less flesh and skin, he has to compromise now, and it's not a big deal, where can he come from? It's all about living.

"Isn't that right? Capital Epidemic Prevention Station? So why did you leave the epidemic prevention station and come to this place? ”

The bald king's tone of torturing the prisoner made Lao Liu and Zhou Ping very unhappy, but what can be done now? With so many people around, the two of them were dizzy, and it was impossible to beat them.

"The epidemic prevention station won't let us in, saying we're useless."

Lao Liu said truthfully, but did not say that because he had tried to kill people, the epidemic prevention station was not allowed to enter. Lao Liu can still carry this clearly.

"Don't let you in? Since it's called an epidemic prevention station, you don't seem to be infected, so why don't you let them in? ”

Suddenly, Brother Wang pulled out a 9-revolver from his waist and aimed it at Lao Liu's head.

"Do you think I'm a liar?"

The bald brother seemed to think that Lao Liu was lying to himself, and in a fit of anger, he took out his weapon!

"We didn't lie to you, the epidemic prevention station is in short supply of food, unless it is a special need of talent, otherwise we will not let it in! If you don't believe me, see for yourself! ”

Zhou Ping's face sank like water at this time, but he didn't seem flustered at all, as if it was just a small scene.

"That, Brother Wang, we really didn't lie, the capital epidemic prevention station didn't let us in at all. That's why we're here. ”

Along the way, Lao Liu took meticulous care of Zhou Ping. Lao Liu is in his forties this year, and Zhou Ping looks like he has just become an adult, and Lao Liu treats Zhou Ping like his own son. After this time of getting along, they are already a family. So Lao Liu didn't want to see Zhou Ping injured, so he endured the hot pain in his back and stood up and explained to Brother Wang in front of him.

"Hmm... I'm really sorry for the grievances. We were just testing you... I'll just say it! They're all the bastards surnamed Li! ”

Brother Wang suddenly apologized to Lao Liu and Zhou Ping, which made them inexplicable for a while.

The short and thin gangster who heard Brother Wang's second half of the sentence was at a loss for a while, and he didn't even dare to look at Lao Liu.

"To tell you the truth, we have no ill will towards you, it's just a coincidence, today you are more unlucky, and you are pressed on the car blocking nail. This was originally intended for other people, who would have thought that the garbage would not come out today. Just now we were still the bastard's subordinates surnamed Li! I'm so sorry! ”

Brother Wang hurriedly put the gun back on his waist, walked over to Lao Liu and Zhou Ping with an apologetic face, and took the initiative to pull the two of them up from the ground.

Lao Liu and Zhou Ping looked puzzled, and some didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

"Alright, okay, don't stand, come in and rest. Brothers, let's make up for these two friends today and apologize to others! ”

After speaking, Brother Wang took a group of people and waited for Lao Liu and Zhou Ping to walk into the big canteen of the gas tank factory.
