Real yàn room.

Lu Li stood in front of an electron microscope. Liu Qiang and the others stood behind, stretching their necks to look. Chrissy took a specimen handed over by Chen Yuxin and put it on. She took a step back and said with a solemn expression.

"See for yourself. They are evolving too fast. ”

Lu Li pondered for a moment, carefully observing through the electronic lens. Soon, he saw the zombie virus. This is the first time he has witnessed the original appearance of this zombie virus that caused the end of the world.

The zombie virus is like a silk floc, in a U-shape. It looks like a piece of silk that has been twisted a few times at random. The viruses are entangled with each other, layer upon layer, and they look like silk products under a magnifying glass, which is unremarkable. But everyone knows that this is the culprit that caused the end of the world.

"This virus belongs to the Filoviridae family, a single-stranded RNAVIRIDAE order, similar to Ebola and Marburg. However, they do not possess a hydrocele. Because of this, the virus cannot survive in the air for long periods of time and can only be transmitted through bodily fluids or close contact. ”

Chrissy stood behind Lu Li and explained to him, her tone very calm. Lu Li left the lens and looked back hesitantly. She shook her head with a wry smile, did not speak, but took another specimen handed over by Chen Yuxin.

"This specimen was extracted from the fluid of a dead body five days ago. Look at this again. ”

Chrissy put the sample on it and explained again, "This is the virus sample I took from the corpse fluid yesterday. They have evolved the membrane vaginalis. ”

didn't wait for Lu Li to figure out what Chrissy was trying to say. Han Qiushui, who followed up out of curiosity, already understood. His face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered in disbelief.

"It'...... They are now able to spread through the air. Oh my God, we're dead. ”

When Chrissy heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She turned her head to look at Lu Li and asked curiously, "Who is he?" ”

"His name is Han Qiushui."

Lu Li briefly introduced Han Qiushui's identity: "He is a graduate student who is studying this virus. I heard that he had a heavy discovery, so I brought him in. ”

"Oh."

Chrissy replied thoughtfully, and then turned her gaze to the electron microscope: "He's right. Viruses have evolved their hydroceles, meaning they can survive in the air for long periods of time. Transmission through guò bodily fluids is a thing of the past. They are now able to spread through the air. I guess ......"

At this point, Chrissy paused. After a while, she took a deep breath and shook her head with a lonely expression: "I estimate that in two days, the virus will break out on a large scale again." Then...... We have to be as prepared as possible. ”

The words fell, and the room fell silent. There was a look of despair on everyone's face. Although in addition to Chrissy, Han Qiushui and Chen Yuxin are professionals, Lu Li, a few laymen, also understand the severity of this incident.

This is all thanks to the highly developed networks of modern society. Knowledge that once belonged only to professionals has spread to the general public.

Even if they have only attended primary school, most people know that the difference between transmission through guò fluids and those that can transmit through guò fluids and airborne transmission is a world of difference.

It can only be transmitted through bodily fluids, and only the isolation of infected people can greatly reduce the frequency of infected people. Even if you don't do quarantine, you just need to stay away to prevent it.

And through the guò airborne, this is one of the most lethal advantages of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. In the face of viruses that are invisible to the naked eye, no one can prevent them in time. It is only when you are sick that you realize that you have become a host for such microorganisms. If it's salmonella, influenza virus, or even Ebola, it's easy to say. Modern medicine has been able to treat on a certain course of dù.

But this is a zombie virus. Once infected, there is no cure other than turning into a zombie.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Li raised his head, looked at Chriss, and asked in a low voice, "What is the status of vaccine research and development?" Is there a finished product? ”

Without waiting for Chrissy to respond, a hint of surprise flashed in Han Qiushui's eyes, and he couldn't wait to interject: "You have already developed a vaccine?" ”

Lu Li raised his hand to stop Han Qiushui from continuing to ask, his eyes staring straight into Chrissy's eyes. The latter shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "There are already several copies of the finished product. However, it has not been in clinical trials. And I don't know if this vaccine is effective in killing this virus that evolved from the sheath. ”

"New problem?"

"Well, the previous zombie virus didn't have a sheath. The kind of mutant white blood cells that I had discovered before had a strong attraction to viral RNA. It makes it a target cell, induces the virus to attach, and then phagocytoses, and finally achieves the effect of treatment. But now...... Viruses have evolved to protect viral RNA from the sheath. I'm worried that this mutated white blood cell has lost its effect. Just miss a virus. The virus is able to replicate in a very short period of time using RNA fragments in the host cell. In the end, there is only one result - to become a zombie. ”

"We can only do our best."

Lu Li took a deep breath and threw an encouraging look at Chrissy. Chrissy nodded silently, indicating that she would do her best.

At this time, Han Qiushui said hesitantly: "I think we still have a chance to ......"

Before the words fell, Chrissy and Lu Qian turned their heads like a sharp and set their eyes on Han Qiushui's face. The latter blushed and explained weakly.

"This sample was only taken yesterday. I guess the evolution of viruses is just beginning. If we can slow down the evolution of the virus. Then we will have enough time to develop new vaccines. ”

Chrissy listened and bowed her head and groaned. After a while, she raised her head, shook her head regretfully, and denied Han Qiushui's suggestion: "The idea is very good. But we can't. How and how this virus evolved. I haven't found any evidence yet. ”

At this time, Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately interjected: "Wrong, we can slow down the evolution of the virus." ”

Chrissy's eyes immediately widened, filled with disbelief. There are no more than three kinds of virus evolution. One is that the DNA or RNA fragment of one's own DNA evolves by mutating during replication. The other is genetic recombination between different viruses. The third is the interaction of gene products.

She searched in her mind for all the examples she had seen, but she never guessed the method that Lu Li said would slow down the evolution of the virus. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard Han Qiushui muttering to herself thoughtfully.

"Oh, I see."

Looking at it again, Lu Li's face also showed a relaxed expression. She was suddenly angry, and shouted at Lu Li with two little tiger teeth: "What do you want to say?" Hurry up and sue me. Otherwise, I'll bite you. ”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue to hang Chrissy's curiosity. He raised his hand and pointed to Han Qiushui on the side and explained, "He found a mysterious radio wave. Personally, I guess it's the mysterious radio waves that the virus communicates and evolves through. ”

As soon as she heard this, Chrissy felt that she was in a bad sense. It's also too whimsical. Area 51 is far more technologically advanced than the Earth for 30 years, but no virus or microorganism has ever been discovered that can interact with each other through radio waves to produce evolution.

She found it incredible. But others were extremely curious about Lu Li's speculation. Liu Qiangmo rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Are you saying that we can interfere with the radio waves and control the evolution rate of the virus?"

When Han Qiushui heard Liu Qiang say this, he suddenly felt like a confidant. In any case, this mysterious radio wave was discovered by itself. He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, if this speculation is true, then we can develop a new vaccine before all viruses fully evolve out of the sheath." ”

"Well, radio wave jamming is my old job. I'm going to get a radio right now. ”

Liu Qiang said that he would do it, and immediately turned around and left the real room. When Han Qiushui saw it, he hurriedly followed: "I'll go with you." I've determined the frequency of that wave. ”

"We're going to help, too."

Chen Song and Chen Enxin invariably left a sentence and followed. In the blink of an eye, only Lu Li, Chrissy and Chen Yuxin were left in the real room.

"Don't be in a daze. Let's get to work. ”

Lu Li looked at Chriss, who was stunned, shrugged his shoulders, and walked out of the real room. The interior fell into silence. After a while, Chen Yuxin pushed Chrissy and asked weakly.

"Isn't it time for us to get to work?"

"Okay, they do theirs, we'll do ours."

Chrissy stomped her foot, gritted her teeth, turned around and walked to the front of the stage and began to work.

……

Lu Li and the others were very unlucky. There was everything in the hospital, but there was not a single radio. A few people almost turned the whole building over, but only a few pocket radios and some wrenches, tongs and other tools were found.

The sky is bright. The group met in a consultation room on the top floor. Several people gathered around a table, staring at the results of a busy night on the table, and fell silent.

After a long time, Liu Qiang smiled bitterly, rubbed his hands, and picked up a pocket radio: "Anyway, it can still be used." I'll try to see if I can remodel it. ”

Han Qiushui was frustrating why he didn't bring his radio. Hearing Liu Qiang say this, his spirits improved a little. He rolled up his sleeves and leaned over to pick up another radio.

"I'm here to help, too."

"I'm on patrol." Chen Enxin took the initiative to take over the patrol task and walked out of the room.

"I'm going to prepare food for you, and then I'm going on patrol." Chen Song also walked out of the room.

Lu Li watched Liu Qiang and Han Qiushui get busy, and remembered that there were still two boxes of bullets left outside the hospital. He quietly exited the room, turned and walked downstairs.

The division of labor and cooperation, small groups began to operate at high speed. When Han Qiushui and Liu Qiang successfully assembled a barely working radio, Lu Li also avoided the zombies outside and got two boxes of bullets into the building.

Several people met again, and suddenly found that a new problem had arisen.
