What's so strange about the emergence of a genetically modified bacterial fungal companion, well, referred to as a zombie fungus?

Moreover, the analysis of the zombie pathogen has already been completed, and the black worm obtained in the underground of Harbin has also detected the DNA fragment of the zombie pathogen, which indicates that the zombie virus spread by the second epidemic is rapidly and large-scale invasion of the global animal and plant ecosystem as the designers expected, replacing the intrinsic gene fragments of the species, and creating cross-species genes. Hybrids', but limited by the laws of nature, the higher the creature, the longer the reproductive cycle, the fewer individuals, so the natural transgenic offspring of higher organisms have not yet been discovered, but it is indeed only a matter of time before a lower organism like a fungus shows the characteristics of a zombie virus.

If you add human guidance, it will hardly take a few days to get a stable new type of germ.

The real question is how to control the spread of the new germ, and how to use this discovery to find the person who has been hiding behind the scenes and who will regret coming into this world.

For the second question, it is not the work of Tu Hongye and Chen Hanxin, so they still focus on how to treat Weng Dazhu and other infected people, unfortunately, the two of them are far inferior to a professional doctor in terms of anti-germ medical accumulation, so after identifying the pathogen, they can only request remote video support.

Autopsy is exactly what a professional doctor recommends.

The original purpose of the autopsy is not to study the specific role of germs in the human body, or to study why humans who are infected with germs and die are more active than humans who are infected with viruses and zombies, but to extract sufficient numbers of germs for antibiotic research.

Although the existing antibiotics are completely powerless in the battle against the six superbugs, this newly discovered germ is not covered by the six superbugs and their derivatives, and the previous use of large doses of broad-spectrum antibiotics has also achieved the effect of stabilizing patients' symptoms in a very short time, so after obtaining a sufficient number of germs, there is still considerable hope for solving this epidemic.

Even if the antibiotic proves ineffective in the end, there are a sufficient number of samples, and targeted phages can be developed, although this ancient treatment born before antibiotics has too many deficiencies compared to antibiotics, but in terms of treatment principle, phages are physical rather than biological therapy, because this little thing is preded on deadly bacteria to multiply, so the effect is better than antibiotics.

Of course, there is still a brutal premise to all this.

A corpse is needed.

It is true that samples can also be taken from living humans and then cultured, but for this kind of bacteria rooted in the human body, the reproduction rate can be described as bursting, the most suitable environmental temperature source of nutrients is naturally the human body, and the construction of a suitable in vitro culture program to ensure that the operator will not be infected, to ensure that the medium meets the conditions for the reproduction of germs, after this series of steps, the speed of obtaining enough strains is definitely much slower than the cruel human culture.

If, in peacetime, the situation is serious enough, the Central Ministry of Health is bound to send this training task in the form of an executive order to research institutes throughout the country, and then the results are gathered together for the next steps, then progress will certainly be rapid. However, based on the current scientific research environment, when the vessel culture reaches a sufficient number, the graves of the first infected people will be able to grow grass.

"Perhaps, we have a solution." Chen Hanxin rubbed his somewhat sore forehead and said worriedly.

"The fresh corpses in the frozen state have been used up, and there is no stock in the base." Tu Hongye guessed what his junior brother meant, and shook his head.

This time he guessed wrong.

"What about transportation from the Dongying station? Medical conditions in Dongying ......"

Chen Hanxin's implication is very simple, the medical level of the Gyeonggi base can prolong the life of the infected person in the first time, but the Dongying station may not, and it is inferred from the time of the attack that there should be a new 'deceased' on the Dongying station.

"You can consider it, it's better than my idea, wait to contact the Dongying station, if they control the spread of the epidemic over there, hurry up and get a helicopter over."

Chen Hanxin took out his mobile phone and began to dial, and asked casually, "Senior brother, what are your thoughts?" ”

"Catch a few zombies and use them to detect bacteriophages first."

"Huh?!" Chen Hanxin must admit that he didn't consider this idea, using corpses that have been infected with the zombie virus as a medium for new germs?

The use of antibiotics on samples mixed with zombie viruses is definitely a rush to the doctor, but it is best to use them to detect bacteriophages, because the phage is very targeted, and will only do what it should do, destroy germs within a specific range, and will not be like antibiotics No matter what kind of germs they encounter, they will definitely cut two knives first.

"In that case, let's do both."

Chen Hanxin continued to use his mobile phone to contact the field department of the base, and issued an order to capture the zombies, with his current status, naturally there is no need to do it himself, and many tasks only need to move his mouth.

Before Chen Hanxin finished talking with the supervisor of the field department, Professor Tu's video request called into Tu Hongye's mobile phone, Tu Hongye knew that his father's call at this time was definitely not a private matter, and he was not a person who abolished his public affairs for personal reasons, so he turned his head and instructed Chen Hanxin first: "Old man call, you can help me talk to Professor Cheng, who is assisting remotely, to see if he can delay the spread of germs in infected people as much as possible." ”

After making sure that Chen Hanxin understood his intentions, Tu Hongye directly pressed the answer button.

"Hongye, in fifteen minutes, I need to report the situation of the new epidemic to the big leader, how is the progress on your side? What kind of support do you need? ”

No matter how reluctant Tu Hongye was, in front of business, especially Professor Tu's face, was only engraved with the word serious, so Tu Hongye involuntarily cleared his throat and began to report in detail.

Chen Hanxin held his mobile phone to the incubator where Weng Dazhu was, and first looked at Weng Dazhu, who was soaked in disinfectant and relied on a respirator to give oxygen. At this time, Weng Dazhu was unconscious under the effect of the drug, and he was **** all over his body, and there were large or small pink and white spots everywhere on the skin, which was the direct manifestation of the new germ on the human body, and the frightening thing was that the skin where the pink and white spots were located was more transparent than the normal body, and the muscle fibers and blood vessels could almost be seen through the skin, which showed that the germs had initially decomposed the body fat, and if it was not suppressed by drugs, the next step was estimated to begin to invade various tissues of the human body, especially the brain. Makes Weng Dazhu manic and bloodthirsty and extremely aggressive, and completely zombieizes Weng Dazhu after his death.

"Professor Cheng, I'm Chen Hanxin, thank you for your hard work, we have just made a decision to find a new pathogen culture medium, so patients here also need to find a way to prolong their survival time as much as possible."

Professor Cheng on the screen is pale, his eyes are bloodshot, his emaciated cheekbones are towering, he looks terminally ill, and he is also weak when he speaks, of course, the professional level is still first-class, listening to Chen Hanxin say this, he immediately came up with his own suggestions: blood extracorporeal circulation filtration, through physical cooling means, quickly reduce the patient's body temperature, can effectively control the spread of germs, of course, this treatment method can not be used for too long, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the patient's brain, if it is serious, It is also possible to be directly vegetative or simply brain dead.

The treatment plan is not difficult for the facilities of the Gyeonggi base, Chen Hanxin immediately instructed the medical staff to do so, and as soon as the order was given, the emergency alarm began to echo in the test area with red and white lights!

There are infected people whose condition has worsened!
