Chapter 37: The Conjecture of Evolution and Mutation
Hui'an's motorcade returned to the base and stopped in the square in front of the school building. Meng Hegong personally led people to inspect the harvest of Hui'an's first operation, and there were many onlookers from afar.
Hui An instructed his team members to remove all the supplies on the car and arrange them on the ground in different categories, and people couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they saw the food, medicine, daily necessities, and weapons piled up on several hills.
"Hui'an, are these the results of your actions this time? Where exactly did you go? Meng Hegong asked a little distractedly.
Hui'an replied indifferently: "We went to the Cold Stone Villa at the foot of Jia Mountain, and the zombies there have been cleaned up. Because of the limited space in the vehicle, we only emptied the supermarket, the clinic and the collection of a cold weapon enthusiast there, and there were more than 70 households that were not searched, so we should have missed a lot of good things. Captain Meng, you'd better send someone over as soon as possible, if you wait until the zombies regroup or the other survivor team arrives there......"
Meng Hegong didn't wait for Hui'an to finish speaking, he immediately took out the walkie-talkie, called Xiao Feihong, Zhou Ping'an, and another evolutionary named Zhang Liang in turn, and ordered the three of them to immediately set off with their own teams and rush to the Cold Stone Villa, and thoroughly loot every household there, as long as it was something that could be used, they should strive to move it back without missing anything.
Hui'an reminded him on the side, saying that there may still be a small number of zombies in some people's homes, and everyone should be more careful when searching.
The next step is to dispose of the loot, according to the rules of the base, Hui'an can keep thirty percent of it, and the rest must be handed over and distributed by the base.
Hui'an has no opinion, this time the harvest is huge, but thirty percent of the materials are enough to be used by their own team for a long time.
Wei Baiyi, who had been standing next to him without saying a word, stood up at this time and put forward a different opinion: "Those medical equipment and medicines are better left to me to deal with, don't move around." ”
Meng Hegong frowned and cast an inquiring glance at Hui'an. He had already seen Wei Baiyi, and although he was slightly surprised by her beauty, he only thought that she was a survivor rescued by Hui'an and didn't care. Hearing her make such an excessive request at this moment, I really don't know what she has to rely on.
Hui An didn't expect Wei Baiyi to say this, and when he saw the inquiring look in Meng Hegong's eyes, he first introduced: "This Miss Wei Baiyi is a doctor at the Cold Stone Villa Clinic, and she is also an evolutionary, and because she accepted my invitation, she decided to join our base. ”
Meng Hegong was stunned for a moment, but then he still said firmly: "If Doctor Wei wants to join the base, I naturally welcome him." But the rules of the base have been set, so everyone including me must follow them, and no one can be exempt, even the evolutionaries. ”
Wei Baiyi's expression was still cold, and he said lightly: "I don't want to monopolize these things, I just think that professional things should be decided by professional people." If you have another doctor in your base, you can leave the medicine to him. But I do have some useful equipment, and recently I've been researching the causes of human evolutionaries and mutated zombies, and I've got some eyebrows. Without these devices, my research could have been interrupted. ”
At this time, there were only three people standing beside Wei Baiyi, Meng Hegong, Hui'an and Han Yu, except for Han Yu, who didn't know the severity, Meng Hegong and Hui'an's expressions changed greatly.
Meng Hegong's face was extremely solemn, and he lowered his voice and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
Wei Baiyi nodded lightly, his expression was still faint, but he inexplicably gave people the feeling that there was no lie.
"You come with me." Meng Hegong beckoned the three of them into the office building with him, and when he arrived at the office on the top floor, he asked the three of them to sit down, and then asked seriously, "Doctor Wei, what did you research?" Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”
"There's nothing that can't be said," Wei Baiyi's cold expression that had not changed for ten thousand years seemed to be saying an insignificant little thing, "This research started from my own body. On the day of the virus outbreak, Xiao Ji and I, a nurse at the clinic, were not infected, so we hid on the second floor of the clinic to survive. Later, because the clinic ran out of food, the two of us had to venture out. While looking for food at the supermarket, we encounter three zombies, and although they escaped, Koyoshi was bitten on the shoulder by the zombies.
After escaping back to the clinic, Xiao Ji suddenly developed a high fever, and the temperature even burned her clothes into charcoal. Because I have seen the scene of someone being infected with the virus and turning into a zombie, although Xiaoji's situation is a little different, I don't dare to be careless, so I tied her firmly with a rope.
"Xiao Ji's unreasonable high fever gradually subsided after three days, but she finally became a zombie, and it was a mutated zombie, I should have killed her immediately, but in order to study the reason for the mutation of zombies, I finally left her, but for safety, she was bound more strongly.
"After examining Koji's body, I have some guesses about the cause of the zombie mutation......"
"Just some conjecture?" Hui An said with some disappointment.
Wei Baiyi glanced at him lightly, and his tone still did not change in the slightest: "Due to the limitations of time and the equipment of the clinic, it is good to have some conjectures. ”
Meng Hegong was anxious to know the results of Wei Baiyi's research, and hurriedly echoed: "Doctor Wei is extremely right, you continue to speak." ”
Wei Baiyi said: "How the original S-type Pandora virus appeared and how it covered the whole world in just one day is really an inexplicable thing. Because it is spread through the air that is almost ubiquitous, on the day of the virus outbreak, all people are actually infected with the virus, and as a result, most people have become zombies due to the virus outbreak, while a few people have survived the virus and have immunity. Because of this, although Pandora S is now present in the air around us, it is no longer infected. The only virus that can infect people is the virus that has mutated in the corpse, which I call 'Pandora S2'.
"Fortunately, the S2 Pandora virus can no longer be transmitted in the air like the Pandora S, but like the pre-apocalyptic HIV, it must be transmitted through bodily fluids, and the most common form of transmission is being bitten by zombies.
"If you are infected with the S2 Pandora virus, there may be three outcomes, one is to become a normal zombie, the second is to become a mutant zombie, and the third is to become an evolutionary.
Hui'an pondered for a long time, slowly digested Wei Baiyi's analysis, and asked, "Are your speculations grounded?" ”
Wei Baiyi replied: "I believe everyone has seen a lot of situations where you become a zombie after being bitten by a zombie; Xiao Ji is a ready-made example of turning into a mutated zombie; As for the example of becoming an evolutionary, I am myself. ”
Meng Hagong, Hui An, and Han Yu all looked at her in surprise.
Wei Baiyi said calmly: "Although I have been very careful, I still underestimated the ability of the zombie after mutation, I was accidentally bitten by Xiao Ji, and then I have my current ability after a high fever and coma." What about you? If you've had a similar experience to me, then my assumptions are a little more conclusive. ”
"Dr. Wei's guess is very reasonable," Meng Hegong nodded after a slight hesitation, "I did become an evolutionary after being bitten by a zombie. ”
Han Yu timidly raised his hand and said, "Me too." ”
Wei Baiyi's gaze fell on Hui An, and after Hui An seriously recalled the details of killing the mutant zombie turned by Zhao Xiaomin in the middle of the mountain that day, he nodded and said that he was the same.
