The Gray Age Chapter 118 The General's Blood

() Central Tower, 7th basement floor, Main Laboratory

"Team Leader Qi, when are we going to continue experimenting?"

I had just sent Dabin away and returned to the main lab. As soon as I came in, Lu Chuan ran to my side.

"Xiao Chuan'er, you let everyone rest first, and I'll do the rest of the experiments alone."

At this point, I didn't want to stay for a moment, I just wanted to start the experiment I wanted to carry out as soon as possible.

"Huh? Team Leader Qi, you're not kidding, are you? How could you possibly complete the experiment alone? Now is not the time to be a hero! ”

Lu Chuan was shocked when he heard my words. Isn't that a joke? Alone? How to conduct such a complex experimental project? You know, there's not much time left for them now. So at this time, Lu Chuanwan didn't know what I wanted to do.

"Do as I say. My experiments were quick. If this experiment is not successful, then there is no need to continue research and development. ”

My tone was flat, and now that I'm done experimenting, nothing will bother me.

"This... All right. ”

Seeing that I was so resolute, Lu Chuan had no choice but to agree.

"Everyone, don't be busy, Team Leader Qi said that he will rest today, and everyone will be notified if there is news, so let's take a good rest."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chuan ran to the central control room, picked up the loudspeaker and broadcast the news. Each of the experimenters on the seventh basement floor put down the work they were doing. They each returned to the dormitory with different doubts, not knowing what I was going to do. But since this is an order, it has to be obeyed.

Holding the general's blood in the cold storage in my hand, I sat in front of the laboratory table with incomprehensible questions.

Why generals? Why does the general have such an ability? Could it be that there are really some special antibodies in its body that have not been discovered in human history?

I have to say, I'm excited right now. It's that excitement that a new antibody is about to be discovered. This is a new element that humans have never been exposed to! But it is about to be born in the hands of me, an unknown experimenter! I'm not sure if I'll be able to find what I'm looking for in the General's cells, though!

The mutated cells in the general's body are the same as the mutated cells in the infected person's body, and they can independently replicate and clone the nucleus, so there is no need to use culture medium to culture the mutant cells.

The next step is as simple as dropping the general's blood onto the slide with a dropper, placing the coverslip on top of it, and then using tweezers to place the blood sample on the stage, and the prerequisite is ready.

At this point, my palms were sweaty, and I didn't know what I would observe next that would shock me!

Slightly adjust the angle of the blood sample and adjust the microscope to the high-magnification objective. I watched it for less than ten seconds, but I felt like I had seen the most unbelievable scene in the world!

There were no white blood cells in the general's blood, and the red blood cells in the original blood were also completely gone. Originally, the red blood cells in the blood should be flat, round, with thick edges and a concave center. But at this time, the red blood cells have completely changed into a different look!

The red blood cells, which were originally like buttons, are now like lilac walnuts, and the lines on them are winding and entangled, looking extremely hideous and terrifying. There is also a rough crack in the cell wall, and it is these cracks that are constantly spewing out "red blood cells" that are smaller than the original cells! The speed of the split is incredible!

The red blood cells that have been divided and replicated expand rapidly in the blood, growing to the same size as the original cell in the blink of an eye. And that's not all, these newly grown "red blood cells" finally opened their cracks and swallowed the original cells in one gulp!

Thinking of this, I rolled up my sleeves, took out a brand-new blood collector, drew about ten milliliters of blood from my body, and then used a dropper to drip my blood into the general's blood. Re-look through the microscope to see how they change.

Surprisingly, the white blood cells in my blood were not thinned by the mutations in the general's blood

The cells were engulfed, but in a very peaceful relationship, the general's cells continued to divide and engulf, while my red and white blood cells just waited quietly, without any change, without interfering with each other! In other words, from the current observations, it is known that the mutant cells in the general's body do not cause any harm to the creatures that are not infected with the mutant cells!

This discovery made my scalp tingle. But it's very exciting! I finally know why the general was infected with mutant cells but not controlled by them!

In previous experiments, I and other team members had looked at blood samples from the bodies of infected people. We found that there were no white blood cells in the blood samples of the test subjects, and it could not be said that they did not exist, but that the white blood cells were completely engulfed by mutant cells, causing the white blood cells in the human body to disappear in a short period of time, and people lost their immunity instantly. The protective mechanism in the human body happens to take effect at this time, but unfortunately, the protective mechanism can only hope for the mutant cells that have just finished devouring white blood cells, but who knows that this "alien" not only does not protect the human body's functions, but quickly kills human brain cells, and the mutant cells then gain complete control of the host's body, and become the infected person we know.

The general is an exception. When the mutated cells entered the general's body, they did not devour the white blood cells containing the nucleus, but instead chose the red blood cells without the nucleus, and increased the ability of the red blood cells to divide and phagocytose in the body.

After finding the perfect host red blood cell, the mutant cells no longer continue to erode, but choose to combine with red blood cells without a nucleus! This is why the general is still normal after being infected!

As for the general's ability to heal other creatures, it is not difficult to explain. By licking the wounds of the living form, the general eats away the attack mutant cells in the blood of the living form bit by bit. It seems that the general "eats" the mutant cells in the infected body, but in fact, the mutant cells in the general's body "eat" the mutant cells in the infected person, which has the therapeutic effect that we were amazed at before.

But I have more questions. Why is it that only the general is invaded with red blood cells, while other life forms are invaded with white blood cells? In fact, there are only two explanations. First, the general was lucky that the selection of mutant cells went wrong. Second, there are no white blood cells in the general's body!

I'm more inclined to the second inference. Because there are hundreds of millions of infected creatures, and no one has the same ability as a general. There may be, but it must be a very small minority! So the second scenario is the most likely. In other words, the general was already suffering from acute severe leukemia before he was infected with mutant cells! And it's the kind of leukemia that doesn't have a single white blood cell in the body! Only such a condition will cause it to have no white blood cells in the body at all before it is infected!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat on the door of my head. How scary?! The symptoms such as high fever and weakness and anorexia before the general turned out to be leukemia?! If there is no invasion of mutant cells, then the general must die!

"General, General, you're so lucky... The people of the world are not as lucky as you..."

I muttered.

The next thing to do is to combine the blood samples of the infected with the general's blood samples and see what kind of collision will occur between the two.

"Xiao Chuan'er, please help me get a sample of the blood of the infected person."

In fact, I had already discovered the existence of Lu Chuan, and this guy was so curious about what experiments I was doing, so he was sneaking into the laboratory outside the door. But his movements were so obvious that I could just see the door of the lab flickering.

"Uh... I passed by... Passing by.."

Lu Chuan finally stopped hiding, pushed the door and walked in, but he looked embarrassed.

"Okay, just look at it, and as for sneaking, go get a sample for me."

I didn't even lift my head, still observing the spectacle under the microscope.

"Give."

Within two minutes, Lu Chuan walked into the laboratory again, with more in his hand

Come and fill a tube full of black blood.

The blood of infected people is generally not kept in the laboratory, this thing can be found everywhere and can be drawn at any time, and it is still a high-risk item, so try not to keep it in the laboratory.

"Thank you. If you want to see it, just sit next to it and don't disturb me. ”

After taking the large tube of infected blood, I used the same method as before, and dripped the blood sample of the infected person into the general's blood sample with a dropper, and observed it again.

The two kinds of blood under the microscope had just been combined together, and I was directly holding my breath as I was observing, and I didn't even dare to breathe!

I saw that the "blood red mutant cell" belonging to the general, after discovering the "intruder", directly opened the crack and attacked the mutant cell in the infected person's body, and did not devour it, but tore it into pieces one by one, as if he disdained to devour it!

"It worked... Hahaha... It worked!!! ”

My current mood is indescribable, the most ferocious, the most infectious, and the most difficult to attack mutant cells in the world has been broken in just a dozen seconds!

"What?.. Huh! Brother Qi! Brother Qi, spread out! ”

Lu Chuan, who was quietly observing me doing experiments next to him, was picked up by me and spun around several times in place. Lu Chuan was almost scared to pee.

With a "bang", Lu Chuan and I fell to the ground together, and Lu Chuan grinned and smiled.

"Let's go, now let's experiment directly with the infected!"

Anyway, I picked up an unused needle, drew a little blood from the general's blood sample, pulled Lu Chuan and ran to the infected person's laboratory!

"Huh! Brother Qi! ...”

Lu Chuan is now like a big fool, being dragged around by me.

"Don't talk nonsense, just look at it!"

With that, I directly pushed open the door of the middle control and began to operate the tower crane to retrieve the infected in the cage of the infected!

"Lu Chuan, prepare for the record!"

I shouted loudly to Lu Chuan.

"Huh? Oh..."

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, but still followed my instructions and returned to the main laboratory to get the record book.

"The eighth anti-mutant cell specific drug experiment, begin!"

After transporting the infected person to a special laboratory, I quickly took the needle in my hand and came to the infected person.

The infected became furious when they found out about me, but I had nothing but joy and anticipation, not the slightest fear.

However, despite the iron cage as protection, the infected person who can move constantly makes me have nowhere to get a needle for a while. In the end, I had no choice but to aim at his calf and inject the general's blood from the needle into the infected person's body.

"Roar!!

"Record! The semi-finished product of the special medicine has just been injected, and the infected person is starting to go crazy! ”

I shouted to Lu Chuan without looking back.

"Oh!"

Lu Chuan picked up the pen and quickly wrote on the report.

"Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds..."

I muttered nervously.

"Six seconds, seven seconds."

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, as I counted to seven seconds, the infected person in front of me began to tremble violently, and a large number of incomprehensible notes came out of his mouth, looking extremely painful!

"Seven seconds later, the infected was convulsing!"

I continued to shout at Lu Chuan.

The infected could no longer hold on, and finally fell to his knees in the iron cage, still convulsing all over. However, I could clearly see that the fluid in the infected person's body seemed to be rapidly draining. In less than ten seconds, it turned into a dried corpse!

"Ten seconds after the convulsions occur, there is a huge loss of water in the body! Visual inspection has been incapacitated! ”

I shouted excitedly, but I didn't forget to take a blood sample from the body of the infected person in front of me!
