The Gray Age Chapter 104 Re-experimenting

() Everyone looked at Dr. Gong, who was lying on the ground and dead, but no one moved, and they didn't want to start first. Seeing this, I had no choice but to step forward and dispose of the corpse myself.

"Where's the incinerator? The corpse must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise it will become infected. ”

I'm a little agitated. Why are these people so slow to react? Are you really scared silly?

"I'll help you."

Among the researchers, one of the researchers, who looked rather young, stepped forward and offered to help me.

"Thank you."

With that, the young researcher and I dragged Dr. Gong with one foot over the incinerator.

"You said he was going to become infected? It can't be, right? He has never been attacked by an infected person, so how can he become an infected person? ”

The researcher disputed my claims as he led me towards the incinerator.

"As far as I've observed, mutant cells can already survive in the air, but they don't have the slightest lethality in the air, and they can only take the initiative in the body of the carbon-based creature unless the immunity of the carbon-based creature is completely gone. However, as long as the vital signs of the carbon-based organism are still there, I don't think the mutant cells will directly invade the brainstem of the organism. ”

This is what I summed up in the incident at the hilltop temple, Wunian, although it was only once, but I can basically be sure that the truth is as I said.

"Mutant cells? Why doesn't it seem to be the same as what we're studying? ....”

"Wait a minute, you open the valve and put him in."

The young experimenter seemed so interested in what I was saying that he was now so focused on me that he had forgotten that he was holding a dead man's foot in his hand.

"Uh... All right. ”

The experimenter raised his hand to open the valve of the incinerator in front of him, and then stuffed Dr. Gong's corpse under my feet with me.

This incinerator is specially designed to deal with infected people after the experiment, and Dr. Gong also took it with him.

There was a long trail of blood on the floor tiles, especially on the white marble. Two researchers also had some blood on their shoes, and they stepped on the bloody footprints in the laboratory one by one, looking like a murder scene. But yes, this is actually the scene of the murder.

"Everybody's hands, the mop will clean up this place."

I said to the rest of the idlers, took a mop myself, and wiped the floor tiles.

It took half an hour to completely clean up the laboratory, and the old palace next door was already a pile of ashes.

"Come on, which of you can tell me where the experiment is now?"

I called everyone to my desk to get a glimpse of the current progress and how the anti-mutant cell drug development was going before we started the trial.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't mean to be the first to speak.

"Brother Fang, why don't you talk about it?"

I only know Fang Qing about these experimenters, so I can only ask him.

"Uh... Our current progress is such that when the newly adapted H5 reagent is injected into the body of the infected, the infected person will become less aggressive and unable to act at all. At present, the best case scenario is that the drug only lasts for a week, and from the eighth day, the infected person will become aggressive again, and we are still developing H6 reagents to try to fight against the K virus. ”

Fang Qing cleared his throat and told me in detail about the current research progress.

"K virus? Are you mistaken? Where is this K virus? This is clearly a mutant cell! It is a mutant cell born from multi-species gene mixing technology and nuclear cloning and regeneration technology, and the nature of cells in the human body is the same! Do you know why the reagents you developed only last for one week? That's because it's infected

The mutated cells in the body will regenerate endlessly, and when the effect of the drug has passed, the infected will of course regain their aggression again, until why are people eroded by the mutated cells and finally become infected? That's because after the mutated cells enter the bloodstream, they will reside in the host body for infinite replication, and when they reach a certain peak, they will occupy the human cerebellum, thereby controlling the thinking and actions of humans, don't you know all this? ”

Having said all this in one breath, I'm really, really angry right now. Don't you even understand that? Is it not clear that viruses and cells can be distinguished? They also claim to be elite researchers!

"Mutant cells? No wonder! I said, how does this K virus contain the structure of the cell? It turns out that our research direction has always been wrong! Huh? How do you know so much about this? I've been at Paula for a year, why haven't I seen you before? ”

It was the young-looking experimenter just now, who suddenly opened his mouth when he heard my words. But in the end, it brought the conversation to me.

"That, Team Leader Qi, you said that this is not a virus at all, but a mutant cell, is there any basis?"

Before I could answer his question, one of the older experimenters asked me very seriously.

I didn't rush to answer his words, but fell into deep contemplation, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, the research reports and data of multi-species genetic mixing have been shipped back to China through Jason's hands, and these are all researchers at Paula, there is no reason why I can't see that this is not a virus, but a mutant cell, is it that the report has been destroyed? Or did Jason not give the report to the researchers at all? So why did Jason so solemnly develop a special drug against mutant cells? Since I have developed a drug, I have not reported it to these researchers before, which is very contradictory.

"Did you get a report on multi-species genetic mixing technology before you started your research?"

I asked tentatively.

After this sentence was asked, the experimenters all looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all looked at me and shook their heads, saying that they had not received any reports.

This is strange, first of all, the report did fall into the hands of Jason, yes, then there are only two explanations. First, Paula may not have thought about developing a specific drug that can stop the continued spread of mutant cells, so he ordered Jason to hold the previous report down, and these underground laboratories are simply a cover, most likely to deal with some organizations that Paula can't confront with it, such as the state. Second, there must be something wrong with this Jason. Either it's not the same Jason before at all, or it's this Jason who betrayed Paula and stood on the opposite side of Paula. He destroyed the research report privately, just because he didn't want Paula to make mistakes again and again, because he felt that this disaster was uncontrollable, and the uncertainty of the mutant cells was too great, and rashly carrying out research would directly push the world into a situation from which it could never recover, and he couldn't openly disobey Paula's orders, so he kept torn between the company's orders and the research progress of the project. It wasn't until I came to the quarantine station that he rekindled his hope that he thought I could develop a drug against mutated cells, so he begged me to do my best to develop a specific drug. The focus was on this scientific research experiment. But this way the question arises, what about the report?

So now the biggest possibility is that the Jason from before is gone, or gone, dead. Now this Jason is just a copy, but he only copies his appearance and behavioral characteristics, and inside he is actually another person!

"Whew..."

I breathed a sigh of relief, what the hell is going on now? How did the incident evolve to such a complex point? But it doesn't seem bad to me, my task is to develop a special drug, no matter who it is for, in the end, it is human beings who benefit.

"Team Leader?"

The older experimenter called me.

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something else. Let me start with my thoughts. Now the mutated cells are no different from the cells in the human body, so ordinary drugs cannot actively identify the mutated cells in the human body and defeat them, if the drug is forcibly used, it will harm the human body's functions, and the people who are still alive will not be far from death at that time. ”

I once discussed with Dr. Chen at the Fengtian epidemic prevention station how to kill these mutant cells. Dr. Chan said at the time that this was pointless, because killing the mutant cells was equivalent to killing the infected humans. Once a human is infected, it is in the same fate as the mutant cells, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

My idea was to kill the mutated cells and restore the humans who had become infected. But at the time, it was concluded that you can't have both, but I don't think so now.

If the mutated cells cannot be killed with drugs, then the body's own immunity can be used. Strengthens and patches human genes to make them aggressive to mutant cells. But the problem arises again, for many years, only 10% of human genes are useful, and the remaining 90% are a messy string of codes, and scientists have been unable to come up with a reason for decades of painstaking research, so how can I complete the research in a month?

"Team Leader Qi, what do you want?"

Seeing that I kept shaking my head and smiling bitterly, these experimenters were a little inexplicable, until Fang Qing stabbed me beside me, and I came back to my senses.

"Guys, I thought about it just now, I think our goal is not to develop a special drug that can restore the infected to humans, but to use air as a medium to kill those who are infected, do you understand what I said?"

After rejecting the idea on my own, I had no choice but to move towards the goal of killing all the infected.

"How can this be done? Are they all human beings, and just kill them all? Aren't we all demons? ”

It was the same young experimenter who immediately refuted my point of view after hearing me say this, and he was very emotional.

"Eh, Xiaochuan'er! Calm down! ”

Fang Qing hurriedly walked to Xiao Chuan's side and whispered to reassure. It turned out that this young guy was called Ogawa.

"What's your name?"

Instead of getting angry, I asked for his name.

"Lu Chuan! In any case, I categorically disagree with the use of such an exterminating method! If you don't like me, you can go to Jason and file a complaint! Anyway, if you do what you say, I might as well die! ”

Lu Chuan's emotions became more and more excited, and Fang Qing was sweating profusely for a while.

I have some admiration for him, he is really a flesh-and-blood guy to be able to say such things in the world like this. Also, we just met, they don't know my temper and character at all, and Jason threatened them fiercely just now, and under all kinds of pressure, they can still be so righteous and awe-inspiring, I sincerely feel admiration, but admiration is admiration, the reality is very cruel.

"Lu Chuan, listen to me first, I used to have the same idea as you, hoping that the mutant cells could be eliminated, and that the humans infected with the mutant cells could survive. I can't guarantee that it's impossible, but even if it were, it would have to be decades or even centuries from now, and we simply wouldn't be able to do it now. Also, I proposed and led the development of the multi-species gene pooling technology, so no one knows more about mutant cells than me, except Dr. Chen, of course. When I was at the Fengtian Epidemic Prevention Station, I discussed it with Dr. Chen, but unfortunately, we couldn't find a solution at all, so now, all we can do is to develop a weapon against the infected, and we can kill the zombies without wasting a single soldier, which is tantamount to saving us humans and saving ourselves, are you right? ”

I said this very sincerely, and I believe that this guy named Lu Chuan can understand the meaning of this.
