Luo Xiu teamed up with Fitz to study the Ice Corpse Virus, while the Cosmic Cube was handed over to Stark, Professor Servig and Jane to study, and the first day of work in the laboratory was hectic, but due to the lack of run-in between the various teams, it had little effect.

Fortunately, in the evening, Tony Stark invited Luo Xiu's long-awaited biology research partner.

She's a tall, sexy Asian woman who, without Stark's introduction, would have even been mistaken for a supermodel.

"I would like to introduce you to a new friend – Helen Zhao, a good friend of mine, a partner of Stark Industries, and a PhD in biology." Stark said with a laugh.

Helen Zhao nodded gracefully to everyone, and she smiled: "It's my honor to work with you. ”

"Come on, Helen, here, please, let me introduce you to your main partner this time." Stark took Helen to Luo Xiu's side, "This is Xiu Luo, the central person in this laboratory, he has done a lot of earth-shattering things, such as saving Manhattan, saving the earth or something. ”

"Fortunately." Helen Zhao took the initiative to reach out her hand, and Luo Xiu took off her gloves and shook her gently.

"Fortunately, I have admired the name for a long time." Luo Xiu smiled.

"I'm just a mediocre research dog." Helen modestly said, "It's you who are famous, and the incident at Hammer Tower caused a sensation in Manhattan, and I know that you were the one who prevented the disaster." ”

"It's overrated." Luo Xiu took the matter with one word.

With Dr. Zhao, a powerful arm in the field of biology, Fitz was freed from the Ice Corps Virus project, and he and Tony Stark returned to the Cosmic Cube project, with energy science and space physics being Fitz's specialty.

Luo Xiu didn't exchange any more meaningless greetings with Dr. Zhao, but led her straight to the scattered remains of the frost giant.

"Oh my God, this is ......"

Helen Zhao took a deep breath, a scorching light flashing in her eyes, and Luo Xiu could see that her expression was not one of horror or surprise, but one of excitement and joy.

"It seems that the scientific research materials this time are very satisfactory to you." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

Helen Zhao made no secret of her excitement: "This will be a milestone in the history of life sciences!" ”

Dr. Zhao was so interested in the remains of extraterrestrial life that before Luo Xiu could introduce it, she couldn't wait to start reading the relevant experimental data on the computer.

"They are also carbon-based creatures, and they have a very similar body structure to humans, and it's hard to imagine how important this remains are to human evolution." Dr. Zhao said excitedly.

"Yes, this corpse can indeed bring immeasurable help to humanity, and even provide optimized genes that humans can only dream of." Luo Xiu said, "But at the moment, our most important task is to curb the poison of this alien creature to humans, and the ice corpse virus they brought has already taken many lives......

"Oh? Ice corpse virus? Do you have a sample of it in the lab? "In fact, when a new organism is discovered—whether it comes from underground, under the sea, or in outer space—the microorganisms or viruses they carry will become a potential threat, especially biological viruses, which are often unguardable, and once invaded by these small things, the human health system will collapse in an instant." ”

"Yes, it's tricky." Luo Xiu sighed helplessly, "The more tricky thing about this biological virus is more like a virus weapon, they are not only transmitted through natural channels, but humans infected with the virus will be extremely aggressive, as if they are being ordered to transform other people, and then let others be infected with this virus one after another." ”

"Sounds like something out of a post-apocalyptic drama." Dr. Zhao said something like a joke in a rather serious tone, "If these viruses can manipulate people's minds and spread easily, then the entire human civilization will be in jeopardy." ”

"That's true." Luo Xiu said as he sent a microscopic video to Dr. Zhao's computer, "You go through it first." ”

Helen Zhao clicked on the video for the first time, and it was the microscopic form of the ice corpse virus.

The individual is tiny and simple in structure, and the small blue particles in the video seem to be inconspicuous miniature charges. But even within somatic cells that have lost their activity, these tiny particles are still replicating and multiplying at a fairly rapid rate—it's hard to imagine how fast they can multiply within normal cells.

What shocked Helen Zhao even more was that these small particles were able to release some strange energy waves, and these energy waves had a cooling effect, and it was surprising that any organism infected with the virus would passively cool down, which was really weird.

"What are the symptoms of the host infected with these viruses?" Dr. Zhao asked with a frown, her face becoming more and more ugly.

"Infinite convergence to the Frost Giant, and at the same time losing their minds, this Ice Corpse Virus can be transmitted not only to the living but also to the dead, and they will bring people back to life and continue to move like zombies." Luo Xiudao.

Hearing this, Dr. Zhao's expression froze.

"How many people are infected now? We must immediately lock down the source of infection and repair, this virus is likely to destroy the entire human society! "It's so contagious and destructive that once the source of infection is exposed to the public, the virus will sweep the world with a thunderbolt." ”

"I understand." Luo Xiu spread his hands helplessly, "But now we can't locate the source of infection, and the source of the ice corpse virus is lurking on the earth at the moment, and he can bring more ice corpse viruses at any time...... Dr. Zhao, we can't eradicate this infectious virus from the source, we can only find a way to develop its antibodies. ”

"If that's the case...... Helen Zhao took a deep breath, "then we really need to hurry." ”

"Yes." Luo Xiu agrees with Dr. Zhao's words, this is a sprint race against time.

Helen Zhao has a very deep professional attainment, which also allows her to quickly integrate into the research, she is not a scholar specializing in biological viruses, but her strong knowledge of life sciences allows her to touch the bypass.

After her and Luo Xiu's research, the two found that the ice corpse virus is not a biological virus in the traditional sense, the biological virus is a non-cellular life state, it does not have its own metabolic structure, and there is no enzyme system.

However, the Icecorpse Virus has the ability to maintain life for a period of time and continue to divide and multiply, even after leaving the host cell.
