Chapter 298: Infected
Putting on his protective suit, Cillin walked out of the aircraft with his tools.
As he expected, robots can't do this job at all, if it can work, a solution has already been discovered, so many evolved robots of black viper are not ornaments, but until now there has been no considerable progress, and some things still need to be done by humans themselves.
Watching Xilin go out, the gray cat raised its paws and lowered its ears again, it wanted to kick Xilin out of here, this place felt too strange and dangerous for it, and it had no ability to help Xilin in the matter of zebra virus.
It's quiet, but if you listen closely, you can hear explosions in the distance, and you can see a little bit of fire in the sky, and you can imagine what kind of riot it is.
Xilin cautiously and slowly moved closer to the place where he took it, and with each step he took would observe the data detected on the instrument, and once there was an abnormality, Xilin would stop, but strangely, as before, there was still nothing suspicious before he got there.
Cillin was already very close to where the robot was standing, but he couldn't see anything special at all by looking at the display on the instrument.
"Snorr, do you feel anything?" Cillin looked at the gray cat.
Gray Cat shook her head, "It's just a bad feeling, I can't say why, it's just a little frightened, but I can't detect anything special, except for the zebra virus around me...... No, the density of viruses in the air around here has increased! Xilin, don't move yet, I'll go over and take a look. ”
"Be careful."
The gray cat lifted his feet and walked that way, when the gray cat stood next to the robot. It suddenly felt chills all over its body, and all the hairs on its body exploded.
"Purr, what's wrong?" Cillin was very anxious when he saw the gray cat like this.
"Don't ...... Stay back! ”
The gray cat slowly moved back step by step, different from the ease of the previous step. Every move now looks pretty tough. Cillin looked at it and felt his bones hurt all over his body.
Finally, the gray cat retreated to Xilin's side and breathed a long sigh of relief, "That place is too weird, Xilin, let's not go." ”
"Okay, let's go back first." Cillin also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but it was good to be able to find the strangeness here, at least it was an improvement.
I'm really ready to go back. Cillin suddenly paused and looked at his hand holding the instrument with some distraction.
The gray cat shook the stiff fur on his body vigorously, and when he heard Xilin say that he wanted to go back, he took a long breath in his heart, and tiptoed to the net aircraft to retreat. But after running a few steps, I found Xilin standing there, looking at his hands in a daze.
"Xilin, leave quickly, let's go back!"
Seeing that Xilin didn't answer, he still looked at his hands in a daze, and the gray cat was anxious. Isn't it going to crash like that robot?
"Xilin!!" The gray cat ran over and yelled.
Sirin finally looked away from his hand and looked at the gray cat.
"Snort."
"What?"
"I'm infected."
"When you are infected, you feel it...... What the!! The gray cat jumped up from the spot, "What are you talking about?!" ”
"I'm infected."
"How is it possible, aren't you wearing a protective suit?" The gray cat wanted to be sure of the general and walked around Xilin. Tsai carefully looked at the protective clothing that Xilin was wearing on the outside, and found no damage. The respirator mask, gas exchange tube, and the newly added internal virus filter are also intact, how can it be infected. How can it be?!
"Protective clothing is useless."
"You're lying! Gu Xin said to the muddy guy that this is the latest hazmat suit, and the Neclams and the old fellows of the Royal Academy of Sciences have done experiments! How could it not be useful! Cillin, don't lie, lying will turn into! "The gray cat really wanted to jump over and scratch Cillin's face with claw marks.
"I kid you not." Cillin didn't go back either, and sat down on the spot.
Just as Sirin was about to leave, he noticed that a substance had penetrated through the protective suit and penetrated the surface of the skin into his body, and then, the familiar molecule began to slowly synthesize. It's not fast, but it's actually synthesized towards the familiar zebra molecular formula, and it's a primary variant recognized by the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Black Viper research team.
When this primary variant is synthesized, it undergoes a secondary change, synthesizing towards another familiar molecular formula, which is recognized as an intermediate variant.
If it weren't for the peculiarities of Xilin's own body, which is comparable to that of a computer, he really wouldn't have found this.
Cillin was really shocked just now, he didn't think that the so-called virion was that thing.
"Snorr, I've found the virion." Cillin said. The tone is not hurried or slow, and I can't hear the mood swings caused by the infection.
The gray cat hurriedly circled in place, and when he heard Xilin say that he had found the virion, his eyes lit up, and according to the researchers on both sides, finding the virion would solve the problem faster and make an antiviral agent.
"What is it?! Where is it? The gray cat asked hurriedly.
Xilin pressed an inconspicuous place on the communicator on his wrist, and a green light screen popped up, Xilin raised his hand and clicked on the light screen, the speed of the five fingers was quite fast, ordinary people couldn't see Xilin's movements clearly, and even the characters that flashed quickly on the light screen couldn't see clearly, but the gray cat could see it.
According to Xilin's new program, the gray cat's eyes changed, the pupils dilated to cover the entire eyeball, and the glowing green light was very strange in the dark.
"See!"
The gray cat transformed and projected the scene he saw to Xilin.
The impact has been filtered out of other organisms, and it is still an ultramicroscopic image. There are only a few flying spots of light on the image, and some other bands of light are connected around them.
Attached to the bands is the so-called zebra virus, and a very small number of single free spots of light are the unidentified substances in the molecular diagram that have not yet been clarified. This unknown substance is the zebravirus progeny that everyone has been looking for for so much.
No one could have imagined that the original body of the virus was the unknown substance, including Cillin, who was shocked when he discovered the truth after being infected with this substance.
I've never seen a virus that is just a substance, it's like a pure atom. But this atom is full of mysteries, its internal structure cannot be determined, it cannot be defined, it cannot be determined.
Such a substance, even if it is discovered. The zebra virus has been found, but the next one will be more difficult to solve. For zebravirus researchers, it was like storing electricity for a long time, preparing to find the target and doing their best to power it, but in the end they found that the other party was an insulator.
What's more, this substance it is able to penetrate protective clothing.
Cillin has reprogrammed a new set of procedures and testing methods for the sample collectors, and Gray Cat will fully track these sample collectors and guide these machines to the correct testing pathway.
Two hours later. Cillin got the results.
Outside of this place, there is no free state of the original substance, which is not stable and will quickly attract other elements that are needed. Towards the steady state synthesis of the virus, that is, it goes through the "primary variant", "intermediate variant" and then the relatively stable "higher variant" in a relatively short period of time, but the higher variant is relatively stable, but it is only relative, and they will mutate subsequently according to different conditions within the host cell.
Because there are too many advanced variants of the virus. Everyone refers to the relatively stable virus variants after the intermediate variants as the advanced variants.
"What are you going to do?" The gray cat looked at Xilin with a sad face, and ploughed the ground with its paws irritably, "I told you not to come, you are dead!" What are you here for? See. It's not that you're infected with the virus, even if your body is different from ordinary people, it's not superhuman. Do you think you're really a robot......"
The gray cat hadn't stopped muttering since just now, and Cillin didn't reply. Sit there quietly and look at the data displayed on the light screen.
After a while, Xilin stood up and walked towards the robot.
"What are you doing?! Don't go! Are you looking for death?! The gray cat didn't care so much, its size swelled suddenly, and its appearance became fierce, and its long fangs opened out, blocking Xilin's path.
Xilin sighed, walked over and touched the gray cat's big cat's head, and said, "I'll go find the reason and see if I can find a solution, if I go back like this, I'll really die." ”
The gray cat's big ears flicked, and his round eyes waited for Xilin to hesitate for a moment, "Are you serious?" ”
"Of course it's true! I don't want to die. ”
"I'll go with you!" As soon as the words fell, the gray cat shrank again, so that it was slightly more resistant to that place.
Cillin led the gray cat closer to the place, because with the previous observation method, the gray cat showed Cillin the ultra-microscopic filtered image he saw in his eyes.
The closer you get to that place, the more free protoplasms there are, and there is no doubt that this is the origin of the zebra virus.
Passing over the robot standing there, Xilin walked towards the core, the measuring instrument in his hand was no longer usable, this substance seemed to be able to affect the operation of machinery, it could be called a super virus, not only to infect organisms, but also to affect mechanical bodies.
The gray cat squatted on Xilin's shoulder, and the closer it got to the core area, the more difficult the gray cat's movements became, and even if it became an organism, it was not affected a lot, and it could only be driven by Xilin.
In fact, Xilin is not completely unaffected, because the reason for the kind of biochip that is embedded in the gene, although it is not a pure mechanical substance, but it also has a feeling similar to that of a gray cat, and the distance of less than 50 meters feels like running 50,000 meters with obstacles.
When he walked to the core location, Xilin found that there was a basement here, which was very secret, and this area was a remote area and a heavily infected area, so no one came, so it was no wonder that no one had found it yet.
Find the entrance, it's not big, just enough for one person to come in and out. Xilin slid down and put on night vision goggles, it was completely dark below, there was no light, Xilin didn't dare to use light, he was afraid that there was no light here.
Some special departments of the army will also have similar professors in training, because the places involved in their tasks are very special, maybe there will be some substances that are very easy to decompose by light, non-toxic ones are fine, and some of them are originally non-toxic, and the substances after light decomposition are highly toxic.
Cillin didn't learn these things from the army, but when he was a shadow hunter, he made a lot of substances that decomposed into highly poisonous light.
Although Xilin is still wearing protective clothing, in order to avoid other anomalous events other than vital gases, he still uses night vision equipment to completely.
This can be seen from the filtered imagery. There are more free pathogens here than outside, and it is very likely that the virus is leaking from here.
In that case, could it be that the zebra virus was really artificially made? If it is true, then the person who created the zebra virus can really be called a genius. and the mad scientist Hou Lei who injected Xilin with the chip. Hansen is the same.
There are no traces of animal life here, and the laboratory is still the same as before, and the configuration of the laboratory is not high, most of which are instrument models that have been eliminated by the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Cillin found the owner in a lab, but the man had been dead for a long time and hadn't done much to decay, as is the case with people who died from the zebra virus, which doesn't rot anytime soon.
The man looked like a dried corpse with a zebra crossing drawn, and Sirin speculated that he was the first victim of the zebra virus. He was also the first person to die because of zebra virus infection.
This underground laboratory is not large, and Xilin quickly walked around. No traces of the creation of the zebra virus have been found.
There are a few key machines that have been smashed by their owners, but they are only dysfunctional, and Cillin is still able to read some information from these machines.
The gray cat is now out of state. Cilin can't count on it. He took out a finger-long cylindrical instrument and shook it over the smashed machine, and as soon as he finished reading the data, the instrument struck and could only hold on to it. The influence of the virogenic substances around here is too great, and even if Xilin is curious, he can't read the information on the spot.
"Okay?" The gray cat felt quite uncomfortable.
"Alright, let's go up and see what information is hidden in these machines." Cillin touched the gray cat's drooping ears soothingly and said.
There is one more place to look before going out, where the virogenic material escapes.
The dead man sat against the bench. He also had a stick in his hand, with which the surrounding instruments were smashed. It was because this person was infected with the zebra virus that he smashed it, and he couldn't use his strength. Therefore, the data on the machine can be completely restored, otherwise it will take a lot of effort.
The man was lying there, looking at a place, and it was a wall. Xilin walked to the wall, knocked on it, and after identifying a place, he took a knife and directly pried it open, and as soon as he pried open a crack, Xilin fell to the ground with black eyes.
"Xilin, Xilin, what's wrong with you?!" The gray cat raised its paw and patted Cillin.
It took a long time for Xilin to recover again, and just now his vision was dark, and he couldn't see what was revealed through the night vision goggles.
Now that he had recovered, Cillin looked up at the wall, and from where he had been pried open by the knife, there was only a broken bottle inside, and as for the contents of the bottle......
Cillin rubbed his head, very uncomfortable.
"Did you take something and run it into your body?" The gray cat asked with a shudder.
Cillin knocked his head, "It seems to be." ”
The gray cat wants to cry.
In the end, Cillin went out step by step, he now seems to have lost his sense of balance, the cerebellum is about to rebel, and the brain is beginning to have a tendency to rebel. It's not optimistic.
But after leaving the underground lab, the gray cat jumped off Cilin's shoulder. I don't know if it's because the thing in the bottle has run to Cillin's body, but the gray cat is not affected much now.
After changing the size and expanding up, he quickly ran to the aircraft with Xilin on his back. Now it is meaningless to sterilize or not kill or not, anyway, it has been infected with zebra virus, and Xilin entered directly through the hatch, not from the sterile room.
After returning to the aircraft, Cillin sat on a chair and pulled out several vials of potion injections, and then sat there quietly.
"Hey, Xilin, don't fall asleep, you won't wake up if you fall asleep!" The gray cat circled around the chair.
"Who did you listen to?"
"That's what everybody says!"
"Alright, I'll rest for a while, don't disturb me."
"You'll wake up when you fall asleep, right?"
"Of course."
"Lying turns into poop."
"Well, poop."
"......" The gray cat jumped on the platform on the side, curled its limbs and squatted there staring at Xilin, after thinking about it, it ran to the liaison on the aircraft to contact Guan Feng.
Guan Feng was now in a meeting again, and suddenly an urgent piece of information made everyone in the Royal Academy of Sciences panic, the princess of the Flame Eagle Fvig family had been diagnosed with zebra virus three hours ago.
In the past, it was just a broken matter in the Eleventh Star Domain, and they could still delay it, but now that it involves the Three Kings Royal Family, the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences can no longer shirk their responsibilities.
The President of the Royal Academy of Sciences urgently summoned all the senior management, whatever you are doing now, where you are, don't try to escape responsibility, hurry over to the meeting.
So Guan Feng reluctantly walked into the conference room and sat down. He doesn't understand, he doesn't know anything about the virus, what does it mean to sit here and listen to these people talk nonsense about shirking responsibility? In the past, I used to swagger around with the title of an academician, for fear that others would not know that you were old and respectful and knowledgeable, but at this time you wilted, and you didn't come up with an effective plan for so long, and you are also a professional authority, worthy of your name.
Guan Feng came over to make up the numbers, and now he didn't pretend to be patient and gentle, he sat there casually and listened to these professionals' nonsense, while thinking about what happened to Xilin, this little bastard, and he didn't take the initiative to contact him for so long.
Just thinking about it, Guan Feng's communicator rang, this time it was not video communication, nor audio communication, but a few lines of words: Guan Feng's big tutor, I am purring, Xilin is infected with zebra virus, and now he is asleep, don't let me quarrel with him.
Guan Feng burst into his mind as soon as he saw this line of words, and at the same time reflexively raised his hand to slap the table.
Syllable!
The loud slap on the table interrupted the words of the President of the Royal Academy of Sciences, who was speaking in righteousness. ~!
