Chapter 57: The Vampire Virus
"Vampires?" Dr. Connors remembered that Alan had spoken about this topic earlier, then looked at Gwen again and said to Alan, "You said she was a vampire before?" ”
Alan nodded earnestly, but looking at Dr. Connors' skeptical look, he knew that the other party didn't believe it.
Alan didn't care about him, but said directly: "Vampires have many characteristics, as the legend says, they live on blood, they can transform ordinary humans, their own strength and speed are far beyond ordinary people, and they also have a strong ability to heal themselves.
And they were afraid of the sun, silver and garlic, and of course, holy water or anything was useless! ”
"I'm telling you this to let you know some of the characteristics of vampires, Gwen, you know, I was your intern before, even if I wasn't familiar with her, I should know that she was an ordinary girl, but now......"
Alan gestured to Gwen, and Gwen didn't hesitate, and directly stepped forward and raised the console in front of Dr. Connors with one hand.
You know, this is an iron platform, and it is full of instruments, and even an adult strong man can barely lift it up a little, and he will soon have to put it down.
Gwen, who had a thin body, lifted it up with one hand, and it was very stable, and none of the instruments on it fell off.
Dr. Connors looked at what was happening in front of him in disbelief, Gwen had been his intern for a while, he knew a little bit about this girl, he was sure that Gwen had such a huge power that Gwen did not have.
Then Alan motioned for Gwen to put down the table and continued to say to Dr. Connors, "What do you think when you see the scene in front of you, the other traits are not good to show you, after all, they will hurt her."
But Gwen, who was transformed into a vampire, had two long, sharp canine teeth in her mouth, which she didn't have before! ”
Gwen cooperated and bared her teeth to show Dr. Connors.
Connors slowed down, digested the information he had just come into contact with, and then looked at Gwen, and a different look suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Gwen, give me some of your blood!" ”
With that, Connors turned around and picked up a syringe, ready to draw Gwen's blood, fully demonstrating the attitude of a crazy doctor of bioengineering!
Alan didn't stop Dr. Connors from drawing Gwen's blood, but he was happy, which was his purpose, and it was certainly best to get Dr. Connors interested.
After the blood was drawn, Dr. Connors looked down at the microscope, and other advanced instruments belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D. were also trying to detect Gwen's blood components.
After more than half an hour, Dr. Connors finally looked up from his study and let out a sigh of relief.
Alan quickly asked nervously, "Dr. Connors, what have you discovered!" ”
Connors looked at Gwen and asked, "Gwen, do you have hereditary anemia in your family?" ”
Gwen shook her head.
Connors said in a deep voice, "If it's really the vampire virus that caused Gwen's physique to become like this, then I'll have a little eyebrows."
By studying Gwen's blood, I believe that the reason why vampires feed on other people's blood is because they can't maintain the hemoglobin in their bodies, which is a genetic disease like hemolytic anemia.
Anemia occurs due to an increase in the rate of destruction of red blood cells in their own bodies (shortened lifespan) that exceeds the compensatory capacity of the bone marrow to make blood, resulting in them having to rely on sucking the blood of others to maintain their health.
In other words, we must use gene therapy to reduce the virus and change the gene, and sickle cell anemia is also treated in this way! ”
Hearing Connors's analysis of the reason, although Alan didn't understand, he still asked happily: "Then do you have a way to treat this disease?" ”
Connors shook his head: "This vampire virus is too powerful, with the medical means that humans currently have, there is no way to eradicate it!" ”
Hearing Dr. Connors's words, Alan did not hesitate, and directly stretched out his arm and said to Dr. Connors: "Dr. Connors, you take a tube of my blood now, according to the vampire, my blood should have antibodies to the vampire virus!" ”
"Huh?" Hearing Allen's words, Dr. Connors became more interested and directly drew a tube of blood from Allen.
When a drop of Allen's blood was dropped into Gwen's blood sample, Dr. Connors, who was looking at the high-powered microscope, shouted in surprise, "Oh my God, it's incredible, the vampire virus in Gwen's blood is being eliminated at a rapid pace!" ”
Hearing Dr. Connors's words, Alan smiled in surprise.
"Wait, the hemoglobin and white blood cells in Gwen's blood are also being destroyed rapidly, your blood is too domineering!"
Dr. Connors looked up in amazement, then looked at Alan with a complicated look.
Alan asked anxiously, "Dr. Connors, can my blood cure Gwen?" ”
"Theoretically, you can, but your blood is too domineering, it doesn't matter if you drink it, but if it is injected directly into the other party's veins, then the other party will definitely die quickly, and if you want to use it to treat others, you must go through long-term research."
"Alan, did you come to me to ask me to research a cure for the vampire virus for you?" Connors looked at Alan with a complicated look.
"Yes, Dr. Connors!"
"I don't think if I don't agree to research a healing potion for you, you won't give me that magical creature fragment from before."
Although he didn't want to have the intention of threatening others, Alan nodded for Gwen's sake: "Yes, Dr. Connors, if you can't work for me, then I can't give you that piece of biological fragment, after all, you know how valuable he is." ”
"In fact, your blood sample is more valuable!" Dr. Connors didn't say that, but nodded and said, "Well, I've agreed to research a cure for you!" ”
"Great, Dr. Connors, but the creature fragments you want will have to be handed to you after you've researched a cure for the vampire virus!"
Dr. Connors was not surprised, he was already aware of this situation, but he still asked curiously, "Alan, what the hell have you been through, why your blood is so magical, and how did you get that magical piece of biological fragment?" ”
Allen's face froze, this question was really difficult to answer, so he could only say very shamefully: "Don't ask me, I won't say it, this matter involves the safety of this world." ”
Dr. Connors rolled his eyes.
At this time, Fleischer appeared with a backpack on his back, and said loudly as soon as they met: "Alan, the director has agreed that I will go back with you, let's deal with those dirty bed bugs together!" ”
Looking at Fleischer, who looked excited but extremely serious, Alan was surprised that Fury would agree to return to New York with him.
Hearing Fleischer's words, the anger in Allen's heart rekindled, and he nodded fiercely: "Well, let's kill those bed bugs together!" ”
