Chapter 4. virus

Heavy rain on Sunday, March 25

At two o'clock in the morning, when most of the people in the city are in a deep sleep, there are still a small number of people still doing different things. Lin Xiao is one of the small groups, but she is not clubbing, drinking, singing, supper, or having sex in bed, she is working in front of the microscope. Lin Xiao is a Ph.D. in the Department of Biological Genetics of the Second Science Research Institute of Shanghai. She was studying and analyzing the bacteria in the meteorite that fell a few days ago, and at first they thought it was just an ordinary bacteria, but as the research and analysis deepened, Lin Xiao found that this was not an ordinary bacteria, this was an unprecedented virus.

When the virus was first discovered, she and other researchers discussed and injected the virus into the body of a rabbit, and after a few hours, the rabbit's body temperature rose, and the rabbit became restless, then became irritable, and died 10 hours later, most of the rabbit hair on the corpse fell off, the skin was pale, and there was a different process of decay.

The results surprised all those involved in the study, and since the virus was found on a meteorite, which in turn came from the planetary belt between Saturn and Uranus, they decided to name the virus T&T (the first character of Saturn and Uranus in pinyin) for short. The leaders then reported to the higher-level department, and then after detailed discussions, they decided to conduct experiments on orangutans, which have much higher immunity than rabbits, so until now, the orangutans are still alive.

Lin Xiao leaned back in the chair, pressed the thumbs of both hands on his temples a few times, and looked at the ceiling in a daze, "By the way, I don't know what happened to that orangutan." Lin Xiao stood up with a muttering thing to himself and walked out of the real room.

Lin Xiao's room is on the first floor of Building 2, the first floor is a long corridor, there is a staircase in the middle to separate the left and right sides of the corridor, there are 6 rooms on the left and right sides, Lin Xiao's real room is on the left side of the door, the first room 105 on the left side of the door, and the real orangutan is in room 111 on the right side of the door.

The light in the corridor has become an energy-saving emergency light at night, so the light looks a little dim, although Lin Xiao has walked through this corridor countless times, but he still feels a palpitation when he walks over at night, the door is password controlled, swiped the card and pressed the password to open the door of room 111, and before he walked in, there were a few roars inside, Lin Xiao walked to the inside of the room, there was a large glass box against the wall in the corner of the room, and inside the glass box was a large iron cage, Inside the cage was the unlucky orangutan with a solid body.

Lin Xiao's last observation time was 5 hours ago, 5 hours ago, the orangutan's temper had become irritable, and his eyes were red, and now Lin Xiao saw that the orangutan's hair had partially fallen off, and the bare skin was white, and some places were even a little rotten. Suddenly, the orangutan jumped over, grabbed the iron cage with both hands, opened his mouth to bite Lin Xiao, there was a layer of tempered glass outside the cage, of course, it was absolutely impossible for the orangutan to bite Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao was taken aback, and the record book in his hand also fell to the ground, and his heartbeat immediately accelerated. The real orangutan grabbed the cage with both hands, his teeth kept gnawing on the finger-thick railing, his teeth were broken and he didn't feel it, and the blood flowed out of his mouth, and the scene made Lin Xiao feel a little sick to his stomach.

Lin Xiao settled down, picked up the notebook on the ground, and walked out of the room, and there was an unwilling hissing sound from behind.

Back in room 105, Lin Xiao wrote down the actual yàn record on his computer

The metabolism of the .......... body increases rapidly in an abnormal way, and the most obvious change in appearance is its skin, the skin of the whole body becomes white, but this white does not mean that its skin is good, but under the rapid metabolism, the dead epidermal cells gradually accumulate caused, but the T virus is constantly multiplying, and the metabolism is getting faster and faster, when the skin cells can not withstand such a fast metabolism rate, the skin of the body will begin to soften. In the case of decay, it is not excluded that there is a large area of shedding, and therefore may lead to the death ...... of the subject.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, when Director He Xiangdong was about to walk into his office in Room 106, he found that the door of Room 105 was actually open, so he walked in and saw Lin Xiao lying on the computer desk, he was about to walk out, Lin Xiao heard the voice and raised his head, "Director He, morning, oops, unconsciously it was morning, and finally fell asleep, haha." ”

Director He sighed: "Xiaolin, you are the hardest working person in our hospital, but you should also pay attention to your body, work is important, but you can't break your body." ”

Lin Xiao nodded mischievously: "Okay, I know, I'll pay attention to it." ”

Director He said with a smile: "Hurry up and go back, tomorrow is a day off, you have been working for more than 10 days in a row, and the research work is in a hurry." ”

Lin Xiao: "By the way, there has been a change in the real yàn body, report to you in the email before I leave, you can read it then." ”

Director He frowned: "It's changed again, okay, I know, you go back first, and the rest of the group will follow up." ”
