Chapter Seventy-Seven: Virus Mutations

Both of them sensed the presence of other creatures at the same time, one by the touch of sound, the other by the gnosis of metal.

Same question, same meaning.

Yun Ya Nuan thought that 9527 still had companions, and 9527 thought that Yun Ya Nuan still had people on the boat.

It was obvious that the guy who was moving in the cabin below was not small, and Yun Yanuan opened his mouth in the direction where the sound came from, and used the sonar to roar.

Although 9527 couldn't hear the sound, his electronic eyes caught the ripples of the sonar, and he thought to himself, "It turns out that his transformation is a sound." ”

The sonar quickly fed back, Yun Ya Nuan frowned, and said: "It's not a human, it's about the same size as a dog, but it's definitely not a dog, how can there be other animals on this ship?" All the way, I didn't even notice it. ”

According to Yun Ya Nuan's special ability, if there were other creatures on this ship, it would be impossible to hide from his ears, especially such a big thing, there was nothing to hide.

"Oh no, they're destroying the hull!" 9527 closed his eyes and felt it.

Before the words fell, the two of them ran towards the place where the voice came from.

At the same time, in the distance in front of the Neptune Maru, near the Glacier National Park in country J, on Chichagov Island, a modern laboratory is located in a rat breeding room.

A young man with a scruffy beard is recording a video in front of the video head of the computer.

"I'm Qi Han, a doctor of biological genetics in the Glacier Laboratory, the virus has been breaking out for more than a month, and I have been trapped in the rat house for nearly five weeks, my colleagues and I..."

Speaking of this, he glanced out the door, picked up his laptop, came to the thickened tempered glass, and recorded the video head outside for a moment, while saying:

"My colleagues and I tried to find antibodies to the virus at the beginning, and the hygienic environment in the laboratory gave us this opportunity, but unfortunately, we failed."

He didn't say why he failed, but the camera had recorded the answer, and his colleagues were all turned into the living dead, wearing blood-stained white coats, wandering outside the rat house.

"We are too careless, after discovering that the virus can only be transmitted through eating and being bitten by the living dead, everyone's mind is on the most primitive virus, looking for a way to overcome it, we look forward to becoming a Nobel Prize winner, and even more looking forward to being praised for the glory of the savior."

As he spoke, he slowly paced back to the table, put the computer firmly away, then sat down and continued to record at the camera:

"I don't know how to describe this virus, oh yes, our team named it Eternal Light. It's a beautiful and holy name, and as the name suggests, this virus does bring some kind of perfection. Take eternal life, for example. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of small things in his hand, took one and threw it into his mouth, with a sneer on his face, and continued:

"This is my last bag of rat food, it's really hard to eat, and when I'm full, I'm going to hang myself with my own belt, and then turn into what my colleague is now, called a monster that may never die, just kidding, I can't bear my designer belt."

He picked up the glass of water and moistened his lips very stingily, as if the rat food was too dry for him to swallow, wrinkled his nose, sighed, and was silent for a short time.

"Okay, let's get down to business, after the eternal light invades the living body, it will attack the genetic chain of the living body, and the target is very clear, that is, the introns on the gene sequence.

It seems to hate the useless introns in this living body, this attack is fierce and devastating, and it seems that the purpose of the eternal light is to make these introns disappear, and the cells will be torn apart under this attack.

However, this kind of attack does not cause the death of the body, and rebirth is only an illusion, which is a short-lived illusion formed after the brain cells are attacked, and the body never dies. ”

As he spoke, holding a cardboard with a genetic chain of chromosomes drawn on it, he drew with a pen on the chain that looked like a twisted ladder, explaining:

"Well, that's it, all the introns are cut off and destroyed again and again, and in the end, all that is left are meaningful exons. This attack breaks the limit of telomeres on the number of cell divisions, and the basis of life is immortalized. ”

Throwing away the cardboard in his hand, he picked up another piece, the same gene chain, and he continued to the camera:

"The virus does not cause this kind of unrestricted division and elimination 100%, because some organisms naturally have antibodies to the eternal light, and in the process of resisting the virus, a miracle happens, the intron is no longer cut, it becomes translatable dominant, you can't imagine how long the gene chain will become."

As he spoke, he drew on the cardboard he was holding with a pen and the introns that were originally connected between each exon were identified by him as exons, and the gene chain extended infinitely in this situation.

"Lives with this antibody are lucky, because they will not be affected by the virus to change the traits of brain tissue, so they can maintain their memories and sanity, and at the same time, there is a high possibility of obtaining ancient memory information that is stored in the genes, and genetic memory really exists, how amazing is that!

Unfortunately, we can't find the source of this antibody, we can't refine it, and to put it more helplessly, we don't find out how the antibody actually exists. ”

As he spoke, he walked to a rat cage with his computer, pointed the camera at a small mouse inside, and said:

"Although we couldn't find the antibody, it really existed, and two of the five mice did not die after being injected with the virus, and the genetic chain of these two mice was able to resist the attack of the virus without breaking. At the same time, the brain has evolved by leaps and bounds, and this only remaining C57 should now have the IQ of a teenager, but he is a little short-tempered, and everyone is like this in adolescence, isn't it? ”

Qi Han walked to the edge of the cage, and the C57 mouse was lying quietly inside, the little black eyes looked at Qi Han smartly, with a mouth open, and a "squeak" sound, as if greeting Qi Han.

"Hey, beauty, you're on camera!"

Qi Han pointed to the camera and smiled at the C57 again.

"This is the only remaining lab rat, but it is pregnant, this is supposed to be its fourth pregnancy, I think there will be more than nine babies, and the only task left now is to deliver C57. In this world, the life of the rat must be very good.

Here is an important reminder that this mouse was not injected with the virus, but it was infected with the virus, I am curious if it is, OK, publish the answer, the virus has mutated, and with the spread of the air, there is no pure land in this world.

Perhaps, this is not the saddest, what is even more sad is that I am also infected with the virus, I have already felt the virus attacking my body, I hope I can stay sane, finish the delivery of C57, and then wait for my end. ”

After saying this, he seemed relieved, took out the flattened cigarette case in his pocket, took out a cigarette in it, lit it and took a hard puff, and said:

"I still have two cigarettes, you can't believe it, I survived for a month by smelling the cigarette box, just to have a good time before I go to God."

It can be seen that he is enjoying smoking.

"We are professional biologists and use the most advanced equipment, so the people who found this video, remember my advice to humans, viruses have no antibodies, and don't try to find antibodies, it's useless, and the only way to stop the catastrophe is to kill all the living dead."
