Chapter 344: Wise Beast

After making sure everyone was paying attention, Dr. Neville let the video play, and in the last few months of the edited video, the male body has finally become less noisy than it had been in the previous video.

At least he stopped slamming doors or knocking on windows endlessly, and it seemed that he realized that the solidity of these two places was not something he could shake.

Although he is still violent every time he sees Dr. Neville, he does not make the same annoying noises as before.

Eventually, in a video, the male mutant finally seemed to be in remission. He was unusually quiet during several days of surveillance footage.

Then, in the video on one of the days, the male patient suddenly approached a camera in the corner of the isolation room and tried to speak! Or rather, he seemed to be trying to speak.

"I... I am—" He clumsily uttered the two words in English with his vocal cords, repeating them over and over again. Combined with his cleaned-up young face, it looked as if he had just recovered some of his memories.

Soon, the door to the isolation cell in the video was opened, and two security guards with batons first stepped into the room and guarded the door, and then Dr. Neville, dressed in a solid suit, quickly rushed into the room.

"I rushed in as soon as I got the news, and he still looked a little weird, but ......" Seeing this, Dr. Neville explained the unreadable parts of the image, such as their specific reflection at the time.

Although the male body still had a vigilant posture after seeing him, he did not show his usual aggressive tendency, but kept shifting his gaze to look at him and the people around him......

In the video, Dr. Neville holds up his hands to indicate that he is not a threat, then cautiously approaches his patient and takes him to the outside room for testing rather smoothly.

At this point in the video, Dr. Neville pressed pause again. There are only him, a male body, and two security guards who are still vigilant.

"I was so happy that I thought my new treatment was working. But the truth is very frustrating, here's what happened 3 minutes after I took him out of the quarantine cell......" Dr. Neville said at which point the video started playing again.

The camera cuts to the room where the female patient was tested. Dr. Neville pulled out some educational toys and handed them to the male body.

But instead of taking the test under his instructions like the previous female patient, the man kept looking at the two security guards standing at the door of the testing room.

Seeing his reaction, Dr. Neville thought he should be confused as to what the two machines were, after all. Although they are humanoid, the two machines are not human.

It was not surprising that his patients had behaved in this way, and previous female patients had similar reactions. So. He used the same method he had used before, and let the two security guards with batons leave the room first.

Sure enough, after the two men left the room, the male patient seemed much more relieved and cooperative, and under his guidance, the male patient did several intelligence tests.

Although the patient did not continue to try to speak. But puzzles, tarot diagrams and other intelligence tests are carried out very smoothly. The table shows the cognitive ability of a 3-year-old child.

A few minutes later, just as Dr. Neville felt that things were going well and was about to take some of the more advanced testing tools out of his bag next to him, the patient sitting on the other end of the table suddenly went berserk.

The moment he bent over. His patient lifted the table between the two and pushed it against Dr. Neville, who was sitting across from him.

Of course, Dr. Neville in the video didn't let him succeed, he had already raised his body to a very high level with the help of the Starlink Booster a few months ago.

In addition, he trained with Shen Chao and his group of first-class special warfare masters all day long, so it was not easy to sneak attack him. He quickly fought back and smashed the table between the two, crushing his patient to the floor.

However, the male patient who was pressed to the ground by him continued to struggle, constantly trying to pounce on him. Table xiàn is the same as it was a long time ago.

Soon, the door opened, and a team of security guards rushed into the room and held the soldiers firmly under Dr. Neville's orders, and Dr. Neville sedated him and dragged him back to his previous isolation cell.

"Look, I haven't been able to restore him to a human, although his physical signs have been restored to a human for nearly a year, but unlike the previous female patients, the male patients still maintain the instinct of mutants to prey on humans.

It was still a beast at heart, and instead of curing him, my treatment had turned him into a more intelligent beast. If you try to treat other mutants with the same condition, the consequences will be very severe......" Dr. Neville concluded.

He then showed the follow-up tests and examinations of the male patient, and the results were very surprising, as the male patient had clearly regained some of his communication skills, such as simple sign language, despite the training.

But even with this intellectual advance, he showed no signs of overcoming his bloodthirsty instincts, and tried to attack Dr. Neville at every opportunity. And every time more suddenly. It's like a predator who learns to hunt and becomes more and more proficient. If such intelligent mutants form a scale, the consequences are incalculable.

"I eventually gave up on his treatment and scanned his brain multiple times. and finally executed it. Here's what I found......" Dr. Neville said, with a hint of sadness in his tone.

After all, nearly a year of hard work, borrowing advanced medical equipment and medical concepts from the world of Mass Effect, was ultimately failing. Whoever faces such a reality will not be in a good mood.

His scans of the patient's brain confirmed his suspicion that the brain circuits of the male body had been thoroughly brutalized, and that his brain did not have any of the usual reactions of the human brain when tested on the picture display.

If the same test is done by humans, people who see different pictures will have obvious cortex activity signals appear on the brain scan.

Finally, he carefully dissected the corpse of the male body, especially the brain. Because the results of the scans elsewhere were not much different from those of the female control group.

As a result, he made an important discovery that the brain structure of their male body was very different from that of the female patients who had been largely cured, and that the effects on the two patients were very different because the length of time of the infection was very different.

The female patient had not been infected for a long time, and although her body had become a mutant for a while, the important neural circuits of the brain were still protected by the meninges, and the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for memory, was still normal.

However, the real body of the male is different, due to the long time of infection, the male has been completely brutalized both physically and brainally, and there is no possibility of recovering the memory and original neural circuits.

"In other words, the vast majority of mutants are unlikely to turn back into humans?" Hearing this, someone in the crowd asked.

"That's right, the neural structure of the brain of anyone infected for more than 3 months will be completely altered, and even if the body turns back into a human, it will never be able to recall any past memories or overcome bloodthirsty desires. ”

Dr. Neville said as he turned off the hologram, closing the coffin on the issue. Hearing him say this, the crowd fell silent.

"But that's why we've cleaned up mutants in several nearby cities, they've been infected for a long time, and there's no need to save them. However, please note that our vaccine can still prevent anyone who is not already infected from being infected by the virus. Shen Chao stood up and interjected when he saw this.

Dr. Neville forgot to add that just now. He had to mention that this was an important tool for their next phase of expansion. Without this, their army recruitment plans would have to be at least doubled in time to materialize.

"Yes, although there is no cure for long-term infection, my vaccine is guaranteed to kill the KV virus and reverse the genetic chain that has been modified by the virus, and the vaccinated person will no longer be threatened by the KV virus......"

Hearing Shen Chao's reminder, Dr. Neville also hurried out of the round. Hearing him say this, everyone's faces relaxed. That's enough, they want a means to protect them from the virus, and if they do, they need to find a way to vaccinate themselves and their people.

"Now is the time for our conversation, gentlemen, look here. Shen Chao saw that the introduction of the treatment method was finally completed, so he invited Dr. Neville aside, occupied the position of the speaker again, and opened the hologram to bring up the world map.

The world map is a full-scale scan of the world, a bit like Google Maps on the main plane, showing terrain and cities across the globe.

The entire map of the planet's surface is 3D, and you can see the real scale replica of the mountains and cities on the surface.

The map was reconstructed by the joint reconnaissance of their satellite network and drones, and the satellite network is responsible for taking ultra-high-definition pictures of the ground around the world, as well as scanning the general terrain of the world.

The drone flies over a more detailed picture of the surface, and because of the proximity, the tomography increases the accuracy of the terrain to within 10 centimeters or 1 centimeter. Explode any map of the main plane with complete accuracy.

Of course, the extreme accuracy of the map did not come without a price, and trillions of terabytes of numbers were collected and it took several hours for the host 1 on space station zero to synthesize them.

"This is our location, this is where the settlement you control zhì is located......" Shen Chao called up a nearby map and pointed to several corresponding locations with icons and numbers on the map on an image about 2 meters wide. (To be continued.) )
