Chapter 286: One Percent
In the whirring wind, a rather soothing and quiet music sounded beside him, which seemed slightly abrupt. Tang Yun took out his mobile phone and pressed the connect button.
"I'm Tian Zhuxian."
"These two people...... There is no need to rescue anymore......"
After a short silence, Tang Yun let out a soft "um".
Of course, Tang Yun knew about Xie Ying and Awl's injuries, and this news was not unexpected.
But Tian Zhuxian paused, seemed to find a secluded place, and then said as low as possible in her voice, "Remember the original virus you gave me?" In order to help Wei Songping's friend, I used these viruses to make a drug that can restore the body's functions...... Although I don't know if the original virus will be effective against samples that have died, or...... There will be any other bad consequences, but I feel that as a doctor, I need to give it a try! ”
"Try it!"
"Don't scruple!"
"I'll come right away, and if it's not enough, take it from me again!"
As Tang Yun spoke, stepping on the thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground, he turned around and ran in the direction of the infirmary of the Jufeng Platform.
......
......
When Tang Yun found Tian Zhuxian, it was not the intensive care unit with quite good hardware facilities on the Jufeng platform, but the morgue located underground. In addition to the rows of pull-out mortuary boxes, only Tian Zhuxian, a woman in a white coat, faced a corpse covered with white sheets, and the atmosphere was a little weird and terrifying.
Beneath the white cloth was the cold corpse of an awl, with comminuted fractures on the left knee and right elbow. As for Xie Ying, he was still lying in a cold morgue, because his head was completely shattered, for a miserable headless corpse, rescuing him no longer belonged to Tian Zhuxian's work, but the work of the legendary gods of the old calendar.
Seeing Tang Yun walk in, Tian Zhuxian took out a small box that had been prepared a long time ago, and after pressing the mechanism, the box popped open, and the cold air inside overflowed like smoke.
She habitually flicked the metal needle tube taken out of it, and looked at Tang Yun with some solemnity.
"I have been trying to suppress the rate of RNA mutation after the original virus enters the human body, so that it has the ability to enhance the recovery ability of the human body without mutating too quickly, resulting in a lethality rate of more than 30%. In this way, there will not be too many risks associated with treating Wei Songping's friends. Tian Zhuxian said and lifted the white cloth sheet covering the awl, and took a deep breath, "You know the apocalypse, strictly speaking, I am not a doctor...... It might be more appropriate to say that I am a researcher. ”
"It's always inevitable to encounter such a miraculous sample as a parasite...... After researching, I couldn't restrain my curiosity. In fact, when Wei Songping entrusted me to save his friend, the first solution that came to my mind was the parasitic virus in you. In fact, I didn't really pin my hope of avenging Tony on Wei Songping, it is safer to hand over the ruthless role of a lone wolf to Fishbone, and I also checked later, Shadow Nightmare has always kept its promises, although it is an assassin group, but its reputation is good enough. ”
"I had the idea of studying parasitic viruses, but ...... I really don't want to do it to someone I know. ”
......
Tian Zhuxian's words were a little humble, what kind of scientific research worker, the high-level technical talent who almost became the head of the Apocalypse in the Kemia Star Field Concentration Camp is of course a legitimate biochemical scientist, and he is also the top one among them.
Tang Yun was silent and didn't speak, just took the same deep breath, he didn't know what Tian Zhuxian was hesitating about, for a dead person, was there a worse result than death? Corpse explosion? Or is it like the legendary "corpse water" in the old calendar, which suddenly evaporates out of thin air and ends up dead without a corpse? For a mercenary who licks blood with a knife, death is death, what does it matter what happens to the corpse?
At this time, Tian Zhuxian threw herself a big backpack, Tang Yun copied it in his hand, and then smelled a faint smell of gasoline.
"The original virus that I re-engineered would have a much lower rate of genetic mutation and a much lower lethality rate after contact with humans. But if it's on a dead person, I'm a little worried. ”
"One is whether this thing will work on the dead, and the other is ...... Whether this thing will turn corpses into zombies or not, that is...... The kind of zombies in horror movies. For example, whether it only restores his physical functions but cannot restore his brain, resulting in him not having human sanity. ”
"So it's best if the awl can come back from the dead, if not, there's a small barrel of gasoline in this backpack, you can burn it with this, even if it's to remove 'biochemical pollution'."
Seeing Tang Yun nodding silently, Tian Zhuxian slightly opened the collar of the awl mercenary uniform, no longer hesitated, raised the needle in his hand and pierced the carotid artery of the awl.
Tang Yun still didn't say anything when he saw this, just turned his head silently, and saw that his slightly trembling shoulders seemed to be crying.
"I remember you cried a lot when you were in the concentration camp, after so long and so many things, I thought you would become more ......" Tian Zhuxian didn't know what word to use at this moment, "strong"? "Men"? It seemed that those commonly used words were not appropriate, so I simply did not continue on this topic.
"The awl can ...... What are the chances of surviving? Tang Yun's voice was a little choked.
"Hmmm......"
"I'm not sure, I think it should be greater than 1%, after all, the original virus was only re-improved based on experimental phenomena, and there is no theoretical support at all."
"And what about the probability of becoming a 'zombie'?"
"Estimated to be less than 1% ......"
"There's something special about this parasitic virus."
Tang Yun finally suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes and turned around. But he still kept his head down, not wanting Tian Zhuxian to see his reddish eyes.
"Special?"
"Yes, it's special."
"Only the original virus can work on other people, and the lethality is extremely high. Even after repeated experiments and modifications by the Apocalypse, it will still maintain a lethality rate of more than 20% to 30%. ”
"These are still talking about living people, and for dead people, the primitive virus has no effect. I tried my best to rejuvenate Wei Songping's friend's waist nerves with this virus agent with strong recovery ability, but I was still not sure if it could act on the dead. ”
"Once the original virus comes into contact with human cells, the virus that produces RNA mutations completely loses the ability to transmit the parasitic virus to other hosts. Isn't this deliberately controlling one's ability to be infectious? Whether it is an organism or a microorganism, the evolutionary law of all living things in nature is to ensure survival and reproduction, and this property looks very unusual. ”
"Or rather, asking for yourself."
