Chapter 61: Xenomorphism (4)
Ariana gently shook the glass test tube in her hand, and the bright red liquid rippled in it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The smooth glass reflects a fair, youthful face and a pair of sky-blue eyes.
In a sense, Ariana Renata is the most special member of the hummingbird hunting team, this young Russian girl is only twenty-three years old, but she completed her doctoral program in biology and medicine at the University of Washington at the age of sixteen, in a world where society is completely collapsed, she cannot receive a professional university education like the students of the year, the young Ariana can only soak in the library to read textbooks and consult materials, this genius girl began to retreat from the age of nine to the age of sixteen, It took her only seven years to reach the level of the world's top specialists.
Today, Ariana is the director of the Safe Zone Doomsday Virus Research Institute, one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about doomsday viruses.
Ariana is the only researcher in the violent organization of the Hummingbird Hunting Group, she rarely shows up and does not perform any tasks, and even refuses to attend the meetings of the Hummingbird Group, and in the eyes of the people in the academy, Ariana is a Frankenstein, like the scientist who made Flekenstein in the novel, spending her days in the dark dissection room with organs and specimens, smiling evilly while boiling poison in the crucible...... What a waste of that delicate face.
In fact, Ariana doesn't stay in the dissection room or make any poisons, she's just a doctor, not a witch...... The girl is most often seen at the Virology Institute upstairs in the library, and despite the fact that the girl has a nickname for "Doctor Chainsaw" within the hummingbird group, known for her extreme violence and arrogance, she is surprisingly quiet when she is alone, wearing a white lab coat and not saying a word, like a young medical graduate at some university.
Ariana put the test tube in her hand back into the wooden test tube rack, the test tube was Lu Xun's blood sample, Zhao Gao's demonstration in the colonel's office shocked everyone, but this phenomenon was actually discovered by Ariana...... Doctor Chainsaw was the second person after Zhao Gao came into contact with Lu Xun, and she immediately conducted a blood test on the unconscious youth after arriving at the hospital.
Ariana tried and tested the virus and added it to Lu Xun's blood sample, only to be devoured.
Ariana was stunned, and then immediately pulled out an entire box of vacuum-pumping blood vessels...... If it weren't for Zhao Gao to stop her, she would have been able to drain Lu Xun's whole body of blood.
Lu Xun might hang up at some point, so she had to get enough samples while the kid was still alive...... From tissue fluid, muscle cells to bone marrow, she was able to get her hands on Lu Xun when he was unconscious, and Lu Xun still didn't know that someone had taken advantage of his unconscious person to search his whole body.
All the samples were kept in a liquid nitrogen freezer by Ariana, a huge undiscovered treasure for her...... The secret to humanity's ability to defeat the apocalyptic virus lies in this treasure.
Ariana took out two centrifuge tubes from the box, added a small amount of blood each, and put them into the centrifuge.
The blood cells and plasma were quickly separated, and Ariana began making blood smears.
She had been studying Lu Xun's blood for three whole days...... Nothing to gain.
But she is already mentally prepared that on the road of medical and biological research, a shocking scientific research result often represents a long period of time of decades, generations or even centuries, and Ariana is now facing the most important issue in human history, and the outcome of this subject will directly determine the survival of mankind...... She has the consciousness that she has spent three Chinese New Year's Eve and even a lifetime in it, and no one in the academy can help her, and there is only one person in the entire Doomsday Virus Research Institute, so she will be the director.
This is her battle, and she will fight alone in humanity's last war.
Ariana's only concern ...... It is how long this fragile peace can be maintained, and whether the safe zone can sustain her to produce results.
She has no more time, and the whole of human society has no more time.
"Oh God...... Please give me a little more time, a little bit, a little bit......" The girl looked at the humming and vibrating centrifuge and prayed to herself, raising her hand to grasp the cross pendant on her chest.

Colonel Sean stood in front of the wall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the map on the wall.
A large map was attached to the wall, and the orange-yellow light of the setting sun filtered in parallel through the floor-to-ceiling window behind the colonel, casting the shadow of the old man on the map.
This is a detailed traffic map of Shanghai City, which is usually blocked by a crimson curtain that was pulled up, and the colonel opened the curtain before the map was exposed.
The entire map is divided into large and small squares by deep and uneven color blocks, and the buildings and streets are densely marked with small words and numbers, almost all of which are yellow, orange and red at a glance, making it look like a wartime situation map, except for a small area on the left side of the map that is painted green with the small words "SafetyArea" next to it.
Safe Zone.
If this is really a map of the distribution of the war situation, then they are already surrounded by regiments, and if the commander looks at this map in the headquarters, then what will he think in his heart?
Sean sighed.
"You've been sighing more and more lately." The middle-aged man leaned against the edge of the secret door and said leisurely.
Sean didn't look back, his gaze swept over the map, "Three years ago, when I stepped into this office, I thought about making this map more and more green...... Now, three years later, green is still such a small piece. ”
"yes." The middle-aged man smiled, "It's like an oasis in the desert." ”
"But the oasis will eventually be swallowed up by the desert...... "and the fragile plants will not be able to resist the wind and sand, and I, the gardener, will try so hard to plant the trees and watch them die." ”
"If you plant tall aspen, why are you afraid of wind and sand?" The middle-aged man sat on the sofa and threw a stack of materials in his hand on the desk, "And ...... You've never been a gardener, you've always been a warrior. ”
The old man turned around, picked up the materials and flipped through them casually, slightly stunned, "Report? ”
"That's right, this is the most recent mission report I put together." The middle-aged man leaned over and patted the table, "I want to ask you...... What exactly happened in the security zone. ”
"What happened?" The colonel sat down and did not raise his eyes.
"Don't play dumb with me." The middle-aged man got up, stood in front of the wall and stretched out his finger to the map, "I don't believe you didn't realize it...... The situation on this map has changed. ”
