Chapter 36: The T-Virus
"What about the virus? What about this inexplicable outbreak of the virus? ”
Tu Jiaojiao was the first to break the silence.
"The virus is very troublesome, we all have to be mentally prepared, this catastrophe of the water blue star has just begun.
In fact, in the early stage of the incubation of the virus, that is, when many people were suddenly hospitalized with unexplained high fever coma, our country's CDC focused on this matter at that time, and compared the blood test results of a large number of patients hospitalized with high fever coma, and found a common denominator, that is, all people hospitalized with high fever and coma have a new type of virus in their blood that has never been seen before.
This new RNA virus has never appeared in the world's records, and the biggest feature of this virus is that it can recombine biological genes, and this recombination is not like hybridization to rearrange and combine chromosomes, but to change the chromosome genes of all recombinant organisms themselves.
The biggest trouble caused by this recombination is that we still don't know the original genetic sequence of this virus, and to put it bluntly, we humans don't know what this virus is, so how can we eliminate them?
However, our research is not without results, this virus is very similar to the T virus in the game and movie Resident Evil that was all the rage decades ago, and in order to make everyone realize the dangers of this virus more quickly, the government simply named this new virus directly T virus.
Generally, the transmission route of the virus is air, water, contact, body fluids, etc., but because of this new type of T virus, we do not know what the original virus is, nor how it was born, and what the route of the first virus and major outbreak is, can only be judged according to the existing situation.
Now we can determine that the T virus infection route is mainly transmitted by body fluids, an ordinary healthy person is bitten by a zombie, caught, as long as a little oily skin will be infected with this damn T virus, the incubation period of the virus is only about a few minutes to three hours, depending on the victim's physique, the time will be different, but, basically, within three hours, will become a zombie. ”
"Basically? So what do you mean if someone doesn't turn into a zombie within three hours? ”
Tu Jiaojiao keenly discovered the key point in what Captain Lu said, and quickly interjected.
"I haven't turned into a zombie in three hours," Captain Lu's expression seemed to distort as soon as he mentioned this topic.
"Yes, but there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, I have only seen one survive three hours in the past few days, and the special thing is that the lucky one did not become a zombie, but suddenly had a special ability."
"Abilities?"
As the only eavesdropper on this conversation, Si Qingli also quickly pricked up his ears, wondering what was going on with the only person who did not turn into a zombie, but had a special ability.
"Yes, although I only met him twice before the end of the world broke out, I can be very sure that he doesn't have any abilities, and after three hours, he has an ability, a spatial ability, and he has an extra dimension."
"Uncle Lu, do you mean that after hearing about the three-hour incubation period of the T-virus, someone actually developed an ability? Isn't that ......?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhengtian and Tu Jiaojiao, who were usually old and heavy, glanced at each other, and even couldn't help but breathe a little heavier.
"No, but, don't think about things too simply, I was ordered to lead a group of our people here to be responsible for controlling the situation in the entire Lin City, these days have been day and night, I don't know how many people and zombies I have seen, only this case, only this case......"
Captain Lu's bloodshot eyes sternly glanced at the two people present.
Yes, the population of seven or eight million in Lincheng City has now almost completely fallen in this virus crisis, how many people have become bloodthirsty zombies, and only one lucky person can explain the problem.
"Okay, let's not talk about this supernatural person, let's get down to business, the only way we can determine the transmission of the T virus is this one, and the rest is unknown, especially the T virus outbreak in the world at the beginning, and there is no virus transmission route that we know now that can cause this consequence.
In any case, the route of infection has been clarified, you still have to be careful, don't take chances, who dares to say that they will definitely be the lucky one, anyway, I dare not say. ”
After talking for a long time, Head Lu picked up the water cup on the desk, moistened his throat, which was a little thirsty, rested for a while, and started again.
"You must have killed a lot of zombies, and you have some understanding, these disgusting guys have no feelings, no fear, no pain, only know crazy eating, eating, eating, and a group of starving ghosts are reincarnated.
We once dissected a zombie whose brain, which was originally used to think, was almost like tofu dregs, and there were no eggs, but he relied on the neurons in the brain to direct the body, following the instinct of a carnivore, frantically searching for fresh flesh and eating it.
After all, it still relies on the neurons in the brain to control the actions of the body, so the biggest head weakness of zombies is the head, as long as the zombie's head is cut off, they are truly dead.
Zombies also have a weakness, that is, the spinal canal, if you want to cut off the innervation of brain neurons to the body, in addition to cutting off the head, it is only useful to cut off their instruction transmission pathway, that is, the spinal canal, twisting their cervical vertebrae can also kill them.
As for the Achilles' heel of other human traditions, such as the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, ......, you don't have to waste your efforts anymore, but we have paid the price of blood to sum up the experience. ”
Commander Lu's words made several people understand that the price of this blood must be heavy.
"Well, in addition, the latest news from the capital, after the research of experts, the characteristic of the T virus is that it can recombine the genetics of organisms, and what is more tricky is that this T virus will also self-improve and evolve, they will slowly, slowly optimize all the biological genes combined, just like Darwin's biological evolution, but this is a slow process, and this evolution cannot be seen in just a few days."
"Evolution, you mean, these zombies evolve, don't you?"
Yuan Zhengtian hoarsely voiced, staring at Regiment Leader Lu with blazing eyes.
Captain Lu nodded heavily.
"What would that look like?"
"I don't know, now the spread of the T virus in the world is still too short, what the zombies will evolve into, no one can say, we can only wait and see what happens, what we can do now is to eliminate as many zombies as possible, even if it is to eliminate one more zombie, it is also to eliminate one more source of T virus infection."
