Chapter 103: Discovery and Eruption

Time, November 24, 2012 at 10 a.m. Location: In a secret laboratory at a military base.

For some people, the hours of work are not fixed. They may be working all the time, without holidays, day and night, they may be present at the place where they are moving. Xia Yu is just such a person.

It's not because Xia Yu's boss is harsh, but because he loves his job. He wants to make a difference in his work. He even thought about surpassing his predecessors and becoming the best biologist in the world.

Xia Yu was doing research in his laboratory, his eyes staring at the high-powered microscope, observing a new virus that he had just discovered.

"It's impossible, how can this be, it must be wrong there, how can there be such a thing. I must be mistaken. ”

Xia Yu couldn't believe what he saw under the microscope, rummaging through the room to find all kinds of information, comparing it with his findings. After that, the data that I just found is transferred to the computer and released on a large screen for careful observation.

A translucent display erected in mid-air displays a complex biomap, annotated with multiple molecular formulas and equations. Xia Yu compared the things in front of him with the information in his hand one by one, but the result surprised him even more. This virus turned out to be a new type of thing that had never been discovered before. Everything about it is different from the biological viruses known on Earth. Neither the higher beings nor the micro-beings could find common ground with what was in front of him. Even its DNA structure is self-contradictory, as if trying to combine water and fire. That's simply not possible. But this thing in front of me has succeeded

It's like a freak, a freak that can't exist. But it was placed in front of Xia Yu, making him have to believe everything he saw.

Looking at the things in front of him, Xia Yu was excited. This is a completely new discovery, a great discovery. He confirmed that something that could not exist in the first place really existed. With this discovery, Xia Yu will definitely become famous, even if he wins the Nobel Prize in Biology.

Xia Yu excitedly told her mentor about her discovery. When his mentor saw what Xia Yu had discovered, he was also stunned.

The experimental team led by the mentor immediately entered the study, and they needed to thoroughly understand this newly discovered thing. They were all crazy about it, busy day and night, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

Just a few days later, this virus-like thing finally lifted a little bit of its mystery. Xia Yu's team found that this kind of thing has a strong destructive effect on the human body. Once it occurs in the human body, the result is devastating. It is possible to kill a person almost instantaneously.

However, they also found that this kind of thing can greatly improve the body's immunity and tap the body's potential. Even Xia Yu speculated that this kind of thing could accelerate the evolution of the human body. This speed is not one or two times, but a thousand times more. Evolution that would take tens or even millions of years to complete can be completed in tens of minutes.

The only little results that the study has yielded suggests a paradoxical nature of this kind of thing. On one side is destruction, and on the other side is rebirth. They did a lot of experiments, and all of the subjects were not abnormal at all, neither dead nor mutated. Exactly the same as before. It's as if the virus doesn't work at all. It's completely contrary to their findings.

A discovery that has no effect on humanity at all is worthless. Xia Yu needs to understand it thoroughly, and he wants to dig out which aspects of it are beneficial to humanity. To get there, he thought of human experimentation. Previous experiments were conducted with mice. Although their structure is very similar to that of humans. But not human after all. Only real humans can get more accurate data.

As soon as this thought appeared in Xia Yu's mind, another more serious problem began to haunt him. That is, the sample is gone. This newly discovered sample of the virus cannot be artificially cultured. All the things that Xia Yu found were used in the experiment. He needed to find more samples.

On December 13, Xia Yu finally found the sample again. This time the sample was taken from a meteorite. When he began to study the sample, he suddenly discovered that the unknown virus had mutated, and that it had become a thousand times more powerful in its own right, and its destructive power exceeded that of any known virus. The result is as if the virus is evolving on its own, making itself perfect little by little. In addition to evolution, it is also reproducing rapidly. However, when the virus, which was already thousands of times more powerful, was injected into the mice, it was found that the mice were still the same as before, unchanged at all.

Although the subject did not change, Xia Yu's team discovered another thing. That is, the virus in the mice used for experiments is growing rapidly. It grows far faster than viruses extracted from meteorites. This means that the virus can grow faster in living organisms.

The next day, an even more astonishing discovery emerged. The most powerful virus in history has spread into the air, covering an area that is unimaginable.

Xia Yu and his group conducted a series of experiments under the guidance of their mentors. They speculate that the powerful virus came from a meteor shower a month and a half ago. Any living thing can be infected by him. And the most susceptible to it is humans. But they didn't have anything unusual at all, as if they were fine. Why is that?

Although the results of the study showed that the destructive power of the virus was extremely powerful, there was no abnormality, so Xia Yu and others thought that the virus was very safe. But within a few days, everything changed. A mouse used for an experiment has mutated. It kills all of its companions and eats away at their corpses. After eating their kind, the mice become stronger.

With the first mutated guinea pig, soon there was a second and third...... They all attack everything they see like crazy. The only difference is that they don't attack their own kind that mutates like them.

Seeing these things that have become extremely terrifying, Xia Yu immediately thought of an old-fashioned movie theme, that is, zombies.

After repeated calculations, they finally discovered the reason why the virus didn't work. This powerful virus can only work after it has grown to a certain extent. There is no danger until it grows up. Because they inject the mouse with this virus many times, the amount of virus in the mouse is increased, so that the virus in the mouse grows faster.

After reaching this conclusion, Xia Yu's team immediately made calculations. The results obtained are unacceptable. It takes a month and a half for this powerful virus to grow to work.

Xia Yu looked at his watch, if he hadn't miscalculated, there were fifteen minutes left between the meteor shower bringing the virus and the virus attacking.

The mentor spread the news, but no one believed it. Xia Yu looked at the approaching time, and his heart was full of chagrin, it was he who discovered this virus. But he didn't study it thoroughly in time, and by the time he understood everything, it was too late.

In the last hours, Xia Yu made a few phone calls. One of them is Han Feng's phone number that I got from a friend not long ago. He hoped that before everything happened, he would tell Han Feng about it, which could be regarded as atonement for his mistakes at the beginning.

The disaster broke out, and people passed out. When the survivors woke up one after another, they were attacked by zombies. Because Xia Yu had been prepared, he found a separate room to stay in, and was not immediately attacked by zombies.

Originally, he wanted to hide all the time, but when he heard the screams of his colleagues outside, he finally couldn't help but rush out.

When he rushed in front of a zombie and threw a punch at the zombie, trying to open it, a cloud of blood mist exploded from his fist. The zombie's head was blown up by Xia Yu's punch.

Xia Yu looked at his blood-stained fist in disbelief, he couldn't believe that he could have so much power. At this moment, another zombie rushed over, Xia Yu felt something behind him, and he punched back. When the fist touched the zombie's body, Xia Yu felt a force rush out from his body, shattering the zombie's chest.

The second will be very late. Because I don't know when I'm going to be done.
