Chapter XXXVIII

In the biochemistry laboratory in Sun City, the captured living corpse was now firmly fixed to an operating table with straps. Its brain is connected to several sensors, which are designed to prevent it from using its abilities, as soon as it concentrates, the ultra-sensitive neural sensing terminals on the sensors release a powerful electrostatic field that interrupts its abilities.

At this time, Dr. Yu of the Biochemistry Laboratory and his team, as well as some experts from the Army General Hospital, were changing into chemical protective suits and preparing to dissect the living corpse. The anesthetic effect of the living corpse has long since ended, it is looking around in horror, struggling desperately, but everything is so futile, looking at the group of people in white chemical protective suits who are slowly walking towards it, although it doesn't know what they are going to do next, but it subconsciously knows that this is definitely not a good thing, it struggles more violently, but it has no effect at all, it roars in despair, making a sound that everyone can't understand.

Completely ignoring the screaming corpse that was struggling over there, Dr. Yu took out a pair of scissors and carefully cut open its tattered clothes. The skin of the living corpse was once gray and white, and it was rotting in many places, and its bodily functions were destroyed to such an extent that it was surviving in a way that ordinary people could not understand. This living corpse was at most 25 or 6 years old before her death, and through her gray face, you can vaguely see the once beautiful face. Maybe it's been a zombie for too long, its body muscles seem to be a little atrophied, and the two breasts on its chest, which should have been very full, are now loosely placed on both sides of the chest, like two expired meatloaf.

It was very thin, with little flesh on its body, and its lower body was severely decomposed, which showed that it had been raped during its lifetime. Dr. Yu picked up a scalpel and carefully slashed its chest, and suddenly a foul smell came to their nostrils, even if they were wearing gas masks at this time, they still couldn't stop the strong rancid smell. A nurse on the side carefully wiped the purple-black corpse blood that was oozing from the wound with gauze, and Dr. Yu carefully looked at the organs in its body, and he found that all the organs had been dilapidated, showing an extremely abnormal black.

He searched carefully for a long time, and found that there was nothing special except that all organs were failing and operating in a situation that was contrary to common sense. These phenomena are exactly the same as normal zombies, and it seems that the problem is in its brain. Dr. Yu turned around and walked in the direction of its head, the living corpse seemed to know its fate, at this time it had stopped struggling, and looked at the shadowless lamp above its head as if it was fateful, its eyes glazed over, and it no longer made a sound.

Seeing this, Dr. Yu smiled slightly, he took a chainsaw, carefully sawed its skull, and then took out its brain. At this moment, a doctor next to him exclaimed in horror, "Look, what is that?" ”

Dr. Yu looked down and found that there was a wriggling nematode connected to the bottom of the brain that had been removed, this nematomy was milky white, and it would not be easy to find it if it weren't for the frantic wriggling now. Suddenly, the insect flicked violently, and then landed steadily on Dr. Yu's arm, only to see that its mouthparts gradually secreted a liquid, and as soon as the liquid touched Dr. Yu's chemical protective suit, it was transformed into a strong acid, corroding the chemical protective clothing and constantly emitting white smoke.

Fortunately, their dissection was in a biochemical laboratory, and their chemical protective suits were specially made and highly resistant to corrosion. But even so, when a nurse used tweezers to remove the worm, there was still a black spot left on the chemical protective suit, and the fabric on it had been completely corroded and charred.

Looking at the little worm that was still wriggling in the petri dish, Dr. Yu and several experts smiled, it seems that the mystery of the mutant zombie comes from this bug.

After half a month of research and experimentation, a joint report by the Biochemical Laboratory and the Federal Army General Hospital was placed on Vincent's desk, and the scarlet top-secret stamp in the upper left corner of the report was so glaring.

Vincent frowned and carefully read the report, which said that the virus that caused this global plague was named M virus, a new type of virus that, according to its genetic analysis, did not look like a product of the earth at all. It should have come to Earth with a meteorite or comet, and then it was discovered by a fanatical scientist in a certain country, successfully activated and replicated.

However, it is more appropriate to say that this M virus is not so much a virus as it is a primitive form of life, just like the primitive ancestors of all terrestrial organisms, single-celled organisms. The nematomorph found from the living corpse is the life of this M virus after evolution, and under some temporarily unknown conditions, the M virus can suddenly start to evolve at a speed of more than 10,000 times, thus becoming the kind of nematode that can control the living corpse.

If you want more research results, you need more living corpses, and a few more nematodes can be captured, and after comparison, the conclusions that were previously uncertain can be scientifically based. However, the discovery of this nematode is not useless, a genius doctor of the Army General Hospital, in a chance experiment, discovered that there is an organic enzyme that can quickly and effectively kill the M virus. Not long ago, the first batch of antibiotic injections tested overnight by experts from the Army General Hospital was successfully developed.

The antibiotics were injected into the bodies of two soldiers on the front line who had been hospitalized for 120 hours without showing any signs of infection. It is important to know that according to previous experiments, the incubation period after being infected with M virus is 6 hours, and the onset time is generally within 24-36 hours. Now, under the influence of antibiotics, there are no signs for 120 hours, and the success of the antibiotics is almost certain, although the two soldiers will need to be hospitalized for another month just in case.

Finally, the report concludes that the cause of this global catastrophe is actually a human-caused invasion of non-terrestrial alien species.

Vincent rubbed his somewhat swollen head, he had a lot of things on hand, and now an alien species suddenly appeared, hoping that there would be no more extraneous branches. The earth can now be said to be in devastation, and it can no longer withstand any toss.
