Volume III: Cyborg Rising. Tian Yuan Pharmaceutical Chapter 70: True. Four major sources of infection
Just as Wang Daoyuan was arranging the retreat in full swing, in the deeper underground nearly five kilometers away from everyone, Geng Feng was waiting in another underground laboratory for another set of intelligent AI-controlled machinery in the secret laboratory to sample the original host of the blood vine.
The permissions and functions of this AI are even better than those of Red. At this time, what she condensed on the screen was a girl who looked very similar to the red queen, but was wearing a white dress, and she called herself Snow White. In order to make it easier to be called, Geng Feng asked the other party if he could call her Xiaobai, and he readily agreed.
After Geng Feng communicated with Wang Daoyuan and replaced his main quest, he received this new set of main quests such as entering the secret laboratory in the deep secret laboratory of the hive, obtaining another part of the information, and collecting the origin samples of the four sources of infection as much as possible.
After some hardships, Geng Feng finally arrived at this secret laboratory with the help of the Red Queen and Xiaobai. The ultimate source of the ghosts and ghosts that he encountered before was the four initial samples here.
After arriving here, Geng Feng finally saw some of the initial information about these strange infections.
R-virus
The viroid is an ancient virus discovered during drilling under the Antarctic ice sheet. The metabolic rate of animals infected by this virus was significantly accelerated, and the number of mitochondria in the animal was significantly increased compared with normal.
In the follow-up experiment, the virus produced XXXX mutation after infecting the lighthouse jellyfish, and Dr. XXXX combined the mutated virus with some gene fragments of leeches and earthworms to obtain the R-virus stock solution. After the virus infected mammals, the activity of infected somatic cells was significantly enhanced, and the physical fitness was significantly improved. However, at the same time, infected animals will become extremely aggressive, and there is a certain risk of infection if the infected person bites other mammals. The samples of the animals with secondary infection are numbered XXXX to XXXX and have been transferred to the peripheral laboratory of the hive for study. The specific probability and mechanism of secondary infection need to be studied.
Golem (rotting lungs)
In 1987, Soviet-Kola drilling was hampered by the discovery of anomalous organisms, and the subsequent finishing touches were handled by the Cleaning Department. After organizing investigators, it was found that when the well was drilled to a depth of 7,230 meters, a cave group appeared. Subsequent drilling revealed traces of underground human activity in the area. Later, the collected tissue samples were analyzed and compared with the genetic samples, and it was preliminarily confirmed that the underground human was a branch of the Europa people.
Underground humans are extremely aggressive, auditory, and visually degraded. On the XX day of the XX month, the organization sent the first explorer XXX into the cave group to explore, suffered XXX casualties, and brought back the killed sample XXX. Autopsy revealed that the subject's lungs, larynx, and nasal cavity were slightly decomposed, and all were filled with strange fungi. On the XX day of XX month, the first batch of explorers successively showed symptoms such as continuous cough and convulsions. Later, medical testing found that the lungs of the first explorers were infected with fungal strains similar to those in the lungs of the dissected samples. On the XX day, the first group of explorers died after ineffective treatment, and the autopsy found that the lungs were infected with fungi showing signs of decay.
On the XX day, the organization sent the second group of explorers. All wear fully enclosed protective clothing.
Video diary of the second group of biologists accompanying the explorers: XX/XX/XX
Incredible, incredible, incredible, it's incredible. Here we found a strange strain of fungus that parasitizes seeds in the lungs of organisms and then symbiotes with the host's respiratory system to give the parasitic creatures greater breathing ability. Can you believe that these parasitic people can breathe carbon dioxide? And I now suspect that this strain has XXXX [insufficient permissions, the content of this paragraph is blocked]
On XX month, XX day, experimenter's notes:
The explorers have brought in a new subterranean human with mushrooms on their heads. They are said to be agile, explosive, and have a good sense of hearing. However, after genetic comparison and dissection, we found that they were not fundamentally different from the normal underground humans dissected before. We detected a special stimulant-like substance in their blood, which is amazing, and probably that's why they're more agile.
Unlike the previous samples, their fungal infections appeared to be more severe. The fungus in their bodies has invaded their brains, and their brains are like a roasted mushroom soaked in sauce. And the fungus has grown out of various holes in their heads, and I wonder how the hell they eat? Anyway, they're not even brains, and they're probably already under the control of that goddamn weird mushroom.
This new parasite is simply a walking flower pot.
On XX day and XX month, the underground human beings discovered by the organization were officially sealed in coffins after research, and it was concluded that they had been enslaved by strange species and had almost lost their sense of self. The group decided to send a third team of armed explorers to search for and capture the fungus. [Insufficient permissions, the content of this paragraph is blocked]
On the XX day, the third team of explorers returned, they lost nearly half, but they brought back a mushroom with a light blue light in a sealed jar.
Seeing this, Geng Feng moved his gaze to a columnar glass jar that he had already obtained. The jar contained a mushroom glowing with a faint blue light, which pulsated slightly as if it were alive. And this mushroom, which is less than the size of a fist, seems to have a face on it.
Beelzebub
On October XX, 1989, a monster appeared in the underground tomb of Anton Church in XXX, USA, and a large number of dead corpses began to re-move. The priest of the church said that 'Beelzebub has broken free from the seal and the world is about to be destroyed'.
Before the situation got out of control, the organization took over the incident in a timely manner at the local branch. After armed suppression and test-by-one testing, the mother parasite was finally found on XX year, XX month, XX month.
XX Experimenter's Log, this worm is like a white radish for a day. When the old woman in its lodging spat it out, I almost vomited my lunch. What did the old lady mean by the last words?
When Geng Feng saw this, he couldn't help but glance at the glass jar he was holding that contained the 'white radish big bug'. After calming down the discomfort, Geng Feng began to look at the information at hand again.
XX Experimenter Log, at the moment I am only representing my personal opinion, I think this worm is intelligent. The dead parasite spoke Latin when it was captured. It means, 'We will not fail, judgment will come.' [Insufficient permissions, the content of this paragraph is blocked]
After looking at some of the information that could be seen from these three sources of infection, Geng Feng couldn't help but rub his head that was starting to hurt, this special meow is not an ordinary source of virus infection. These are simply three world-destroying bombs.
Looking at Xiao Bai, who was still sampling the initial parasite of the blood vine with the manipulator's manipulator, Geng Feng felt that it was better not to look at this, and it was better to ask Xiao Bai directly. The main thing is that the origin of this infected body is too weird.
"Xiaobai, is the initial parasite of this blood vine a whole living person?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"So how do I carry it? I don't have what it takes to rush out with something like this. ”
"Your Excellency, don't worry, we have been studying this strange plant for a long time. In fact, we discovered long ago that the roots of blood vine were rooted in the heart of this initial parasite. This is the only part of the blood vine that we have found so far that is suspected to be a root. However, for fear of damage, no tests have been conducted on this part of the blood vine. But this time, it seems that it will not work without doing it. ”
Geng Feng was slightly surprised: =, he wondered why they studied so carefully, so he asked, "Oh? Are our scientocratics so careful? Isn't that their style? ”
Xiaobai's avatar nodded and said, "Yes, it's that careful." You must know that this blood vine may be able to help humans break through the limit of lifespan. Because according to carbon-14 determination, this parasite has lived for more than 3,000 years. It is also the only individual that has not been completely decomposed by the blood vine as a nourishment. ”
"And what are you going to do now for me to take the initial sample of this blood vine away? Heart-wrenching? ”
"You guessed it right." As he spoke, Xiaobai took out the sealed jar that had been sampled. In the small but complex container, a heart beat slowly with the help of a device, and a few dark red roots supported a small section of blood vines swaying on it.
After Xiao Bai took out the last blood vine sample, he seemed to have suddenly received some kind of instruction, and then said to Geng Feng: "Special Envoy Mr. A, Your Excellency has temporarily granted you A-level permissions. Later, after I connect to the mobile device, I will have to trouble you to take me to evacuate, and my net worth will be entrusted to you. “
