Chapter 194: Source Virus

"Very good, yesterday, I have arranged for someone to conduct a preliminary examination of the zombie you specially sent overnight, and it is indeed different from ordinary zombies, the brains of ordinary zombies have been invaded by zombie viruses and are the same as tofu dregs, leaving only some brain cells that have no arrangement logic and are mutated to the point that they cannot perform normal functions.

The brain of this zombie you sent yesterday is already significantly different from that of ordinary zombies, his brain is not only full of zombie viruses, but also has begun to have a small number of neurons, although the number of neurons is not much, but this is already an obvious evolutionary marker, just like the iconic evolution of apes from walking on all fours to standing on two legs.

This discovery is very important, since the sudden appearance of zombies in a large area to today is less than half a month, this half a month is too short, our research on zombies has just begun, this zombie you sent has made a new breakthrough in our research, it is because of this zombie, I now have enough evidence to suspect that zombies can evolve, and the evolution time is very fast, fast to the point that we humans can not imagine.

It took millions of years for humans to evolve from apes to intelligent creatures, but now it has only taken less than half a month, and the evolution speed of zombies is too amazing, far beyond human imagination. ”

Dr. Zhou Ru, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes and a very haggard expression, but her expression was full of unprecedented coldness and seriousness.

"Dr. Zhou Ru, do you mean that zombies will evolve in the future?"

Li Hancong, a gentleman who was holding his stupid dog Erbao in his hand, felt that this news made him a little unable to control his heartbeat.

"It's too early to say this, after all, only this one has an evolutionary trend has only been discovered now, and I don't know if other zombies will be like this, whether it is a case of mutation, or group evolution, it is not clear, and there are still many things such as the channel, method, and speed of zombie evolution, and it is still too early to clearly define it as a large-scale population evolution of zombies.

To put it simply, the evolution of all humans, animals, and even plants on our Aqua Blue Star is generally through the way of reproduction, inheriting better and more suitable genes for the living environment, and continuing the reproduction of the race, and the time is very long, usually tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years of slow evolution.

In fact, I personally prefer the evolution of zombie viruses, because for viruses, the speed of reproduction and evolution is based on this condition.

By the way, do you want to see the zombie you sent in person? ”

Dr. Zhou Ru pinched his eyebrows tiredly, and drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, accompanied by the bitterness of the mellow aroma of coffee, which lifted the spirits of Dr. Zhou Ru, who had been busy all night.

"Is that okay?"

Tu Jiaojiao, the big beauty who was still holding a little black charcoal baby in her arms, wanted to go, but was a little hesitant.

Dr. Zhou Ru nodded and said, "Okay, Yuan Zhengtian told me yesterday that there is more than one supernatural in your team, I want to check all of you by the way, just use your data to make a comparison, just go and take a look at that zombie together."

Everyone followed Dr. Zhou Ru into the interior of the institute for the first time, but perhaps the news just now was too heavy, or the serious and tense atmosphere in the institute made everyone obediently follow Dr. Zhou Ru, and no one even looked at him curiously.

"The zombie you sent yesterday is here, you see."

Dr. Zhou Ru, who led everyone into a clean room, pointed to the middle console enclosed by a large thick glass wall, where three researchers wearing bulky biohazard suits and could not see their faces at all were surrounding the console.

Dr. Zhou Ru asked into the speaker on the glass wall.

"Xiao An, how is the situation on your side?"

The fatter researcher heard Dr. Zhou Ru's words, raised his head, handed the things in his hand to another colleague beside him, nodded at Dr. Zhou Ru, and then took the initiative to walk over to this side, pointing to the exit in the glass wall.

A few minutes later, a man of medium height, slightly chubby in his 30s, came out of the passage in the glass wall.

"Dr. Zhou Ru, are you looking for me?"

"I'd like to ask how is the situation on your side? Did you make any new discoveries about that zombie? ”

"One thing, let's go over there and talk about it, and I'll give you a detailed report."

Dr. Zhou Ru nodded and said to Yuan Zhengtian and the others, "This is my assistant, you can just call him Xiao An."

Xiao An nodded casually at the few people, and immediately reported to Dr. Zhou Ru in a hurry.

"Doctor, we did some simple tests on this zombie and found something very interesting.

Ordinary zombies are unable to maintain normal physiological functions because almost all the normal cells in the body have mutated, especially the brain cells and nerve cells are the most seriously damaged, so we see that ordinary zombies are slow to act, unable to control their own movement coordination, just like the stiff first generation of robots, they can not do anything other than instinctively eat a lot of fresh flesh and blood to maintain their body's cell metabolism many times faster than ordinary people.

However, we found that the cells in his body that had been destroyed by the virus showed signs of reorganization, and the normal function of the cells was restored, which was manifested in the fact that the body movements of the zombie in this experiment were more coordinated, and he would use simple grasping skills, that is to say, he began to use tools, and his brain cells and neuronal cells recovered quickly, and according to the test, he now has a two-year-old baby IQ, which is not good news for us humans.

Also, we compared the zombie virus extracted from the zombie corpse of this newly sent experimental product and the zombie virus extracted from the ordinary zombie corpse with a computer, and found that the zombie virus of this newly sent experimental zombie is better evolved than the ordinary zombie virus, more perfect, and more closely integrated with human cells, compared to the zombie virus in the ordinary zombie corpse is like a copycat version. ”

"Is there any new progress in the calculation of the zombie virus?"

"No, doctor, the zombie virus has long exceeded the limit of our cognition of all virus species on the water blue star, with our current level of science and technology on the water blue star, it is impossible to analyze the zombie virus and arrange the genetic map, with our current computing level, even if the supercomputer with the strongest computing power on the water blue star has been able to analyze the genetic map of the zombie virus for hundreds of years, so we have no way to do anything about the zombie virus now.

Moreover, we don't know what the source virus of the zombie virus looks like, because all the viruses we can extract are mutated zombie viruses that are combined with other human or animal cells, and if there is a source virus of the zombie virus, our research progress will be at least 50 to 80 years in advance, and without the source virus, we don't even know the true face of the zombie virus. ”
