Chapter 96: Reorganization
Liu Qiang and others didn't know, and Lu Li didn't know either. Now a sea change is taking place in him.
In the blood vessels, a large number of mutated white blood cells flow throughout the body. The black silk zombie virus attaches to these huge mutated white blood cells, frantically using DNA fragments to replicate.
Although mutant white blood cells continue to engulf large numbers of viruses, more viruses use the DNA in the mutated white blood cells to replicate and multiply. After a thousandth of a second, a large number of black viruses voluntarily detach and begin to infect other cells for replication.
It didn't take long for almost black blood to flow through the veins. Huge amounts of the virus spread rapidly along the blood vessels and throughout the body. Most of the viruses are quite uniformly targeted.
Cerebrum.
This is where they end up. Only when the brain is infected will a person be truly killed, and then transformed into a new zombie.
The virus travels along the blood vessels and enters the brain, where it quickly begins to replicate and multiply. If someone had split Lu Li's skull at this time, they would have been able to see that the originally gray brain was turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The virus eats away at every brain cell and then replaces it. When the cerebral cortex is completely infected by the virus, the virus continues to invade the deeper layers. In just ten minutes, only a small piece of brain tissue in the middle of the entire brain has not been eroded by the virus.
This is where the newly born gland in Lu Li's brain is located.
Under the threat of viruses, the glands secrete large amounts of hormones. These hormones quickly stimulate the bone marrow along the capillaries. Stimulated by these hormones, the bone marrow rapidly produces a large number of mutated white blood cells, which are pumped into the blood vessels.
As soon as these mutated white blood cells enter the blood vessels, they immediately perform their jobs. Countless viruses race to be attracted to mutated white blood cells, attach to them and begin to replicate and multiply. But the number of these new mutant white blood cells is simply too large.
All zombie viruses are attracted by mutant white blood cells and detach from the host cell and attach to the nearest mutated white blood cell. The black color in the blood fades and the inherent bright red color of the blood reappears. But it didn't take long for more mutated white blood cells to flood into the blood vessels, and in an instant, they were absolutely dominant.
The rate at which the virus replicates and multiplies is curbed. Every instant, millions of viruses are engulfed by mutated white blood cells. The devouring rate is greater than the reproduction rate. In a short period of time, the blood is filled with a large number of mutated white blood cells. Some capillaries even have blood clots.
But more mutated white blood cells travel all the way down the blood vessels to the brain. Their arrival is nothing short of a catastrophe for the virus. Tens of billions of viruses have broken away from host cells and are scrambling to attach to these mutant white blood cells.
Copying, splitting, detachment, attachment, devouring......
This process is repeated, repeated, repeated. However, the number of mutated white blood cells that can reach the brain is limited. The rate at which the virus multiplies is much faster than the rate at which mutant white blood cells engulf the virus.
The virus continues to spread deep into the brain. Finally, the last bit of brain cells was infected and necrotic by the virus. The virus invades this gland for the first time.
In an instant, the virus attaches to this gland and begins to replicate and multiply using gland cells. Soon, the surface of the dark red gland was quickly stained with a layer of black. The necrotic cells are constantly shedding and merging into the brain, which has long since turned into puddles of pus.
Seeing that this last piece of brain tissue was about to be infected by the virus, the black color on the surface of the gland suddenly began to fade. The glandular cells seem to have transformed into mutated white blood cells, rapidly engulfing the attached virus.
However, these glandular cells do not engulf and digest the virus like mutant white blood cells, but directly ingest viral DNA. Each glandular cell acts as a microprocessor that extracts viral DNA and begins to recombine. After swallowing a certain amount of the virus, the glandular cells secrete a new type of white blood cell.
These white blood cells are far more effective than mutant white blood cells. As soon as they appeared, tens of billions of viruses immediately broke away from the host cells and attached to these few or so new white blood cells. A huge amount of viruses attached to it, and suddenly it was like a pebble thrown into a pond, and it was instantly devoured and digested.
In less than half a minute, tens of billions of viruses were swallowed up. All that remained of the skull was a black, rancid mass of necrotic brain. At this point, the gland secretes another type of macrophage.
These macrophages rapidly engulf necrotic brain cells. More macrophages pass through the already necrotic blood vessels that swell throughout the body. These macrophages engulf necrotic cells and secrete trace amounts of hormones. Under the stimulation of hormones, new cells gradually emerge and take the place of necrotic cells.
Over and over again, these macrophages engulf necrotic cells with great efficiency. New cells emerge to fill the gaps. Gradually, Lu Li's body regained its original color.
Blood flows back in the blood vessels, and fresh blood refills the almost dry heart. The blood brings macrophages, and the necrotic cells are replaced by new cells. After a while, the heart started beating again for the first time.
The heart regains its beat, allowing blood to travel more quickly throughout the body. A large number of macrophages travel along the flowing blood to various parts of the body and begin to repair dead tissue.
After about half an hour, all organs and tissues were restored to function one after another. The heart beats vigorously. Lung cells also begin to take in oxygen from the alveoli to provide enough oxygen for the body's tissues to function.
Gradually, life returned to Lu Li's body.
At this time, Yang Yuting stayed beside Lu Li, who was bandaged like a mummy, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and she seemed to be preoccupied. Until now, she is still skeptical of Liu Qiang's words. Even though she always believed that Lu Li was omnipotent, she couldn't help but be a little shaken when she saw Lu Li's miserable scene.
After all, this is not an injury that a normal human can withstand.
Suddenly, she saw Lu Li's chest rise and fall slightly. She was stunned and rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Liu Qiang and Ma Fengshan squatted aside, waiting for a long time and almost holding back their internal injuries. At first glance, seeing Yang Yuting rubbing her eyes, the two of them suddenly stood up nervously and asked in unison.
"He's alive?"
Yang Yuting was taken aback by the actions of the two. She pointed to Lu Li's chest, and her speech was a little slurred: "Brother...... Brother he...... He seemed to be breathing. ”
The two of them immediately perked up and immediately checked skillfully. They are no strangers to this kind of thing. Soon, the two of them raised their heads in unison, looked at each other incredibly and muttered.
"Damn, he's really alive."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled, and stood up at the same time. Liu Qiang wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." He was alive again. ”
Ma Fengshan couldn't help but pick up a sentence on the other side: "Damn, why is he alive again?" ”
As soon as he said that, he keenly felt a murderous aura. He immediately reflexively followed the direction from which the murderous aura came from, and at the same time his hands were secretly fully prepared. Unexpectedly, when I looked at it, I saw Yang Yuting staring at her with a cold face. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his emotion just now had stimulated the little tyrannosaurus in front of him.
"Hah...... Haha, I'll go see the captives. ”
He immediately snorted, turned around and left. He hadn't forgotten how violent the little tyrannosaurus had been when he cleaned it up not long ago. All the zombies that died under her hands had their heads gone. It wasn't that he was broken and flew out, but he was smashed into his chest by him.
Smashing a person's head into the chest...... This difficulty, he just thought about it and gave him goosebumps all over his body. How much force it takes to do this. At least I can't do that myself.
Yang Yuting also cared too much about Ma Fengshan's unintentional words. Because at this time, Lu Li moved. She saw Lu Li's fingers move slightly, and immediately focused all her attention on Lu Li.
First the fingers, then the whole palm, then the arms, and so on.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Lu Li sat up suddenly and coughed violently. Seeing that the bandage affected his breathing, Liu Qiang quickly grabbed the scissors and cut the bandage on Lu Li's head with a few clicks. The bandages fell, and Liu Qiang and Yang Yuting were stunned.
Beneath the bandage is smooth, intact skin, with not a single scar or wound that has not yet healed. If it weren't for the real appearance of Lu Li, the two of them thought that Di Yu had come here and replaced Lu Li's body while they were not paying attention.
At this time, Lu Li finally stopped coughing. Before he could see where he was, he felt a man pounce into his arms.
"Brother, I thought you were dead."
Yang Yuting hugged Lu Li's waist and cried completely for the first time. She witnessed her father bite her mother to death. She could no longer bear the reality of losing someone she valued to die.
Lu Li was stunned, then patted her on the shoulder, and smiled confidently: "I can't die from two headshots." How can you die after a rocket? ”
"Hmm."
Yang Yuting burst into tears and smiled and nodded vigorously. Seeing this, Liu Qiang interrupted the warmth between the two at an inopportune time: "That old fox is hiding outside." Shouldn't we find a way to kill it? ”
"Hmm."
Lu Li raised his head and nodded. He was about to speak, when he was suddenly stunned, and then laughed again: "Brother Liu, are you going to copy their back road through the guò elevator?" ”
Liu Qiang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, you guessed it before I said it." Well, I thought about it. They had an unknown number of rockets in their hands. The terrain here is very unfavorable for us. They are condescending, as long as we hold the slope, we can't rush up at all. So a hard rush is absolutely not a no-go. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the elevator entrance not far from the iron gate and continued to explain: "I have already checked. That elevator has long been sealed. But just tear it down and we'll be able to climb up. Needless to say, eighty percent of the upstairs has been led up by the old fox to lead the zombies. They want to block our only way out of escape with zombies, and the abacus is good, but unfortunately they still underestimate you. That old fox couldn't have imagined that you would survive. ”
"Okay."
Lu Li nodded, and a hint of ridicule quietly flashed in his eyes: "Let's let that old fox die in a mess." ”
