At that time, the biochemical virus gene was very easy to be isolated, because of its brutal invasion, so that the normal gene fragments of human beings were deformed or even broken, and it was this mutation that created the monster of the zombie.

However, with the passage of time, after the appearance of the supernatural and the intelligent corpse, Academician Zhong found that the biochemical virus had become "gentle" in the alteration of human genes, and it was not so much an invasion as a fusion. The genetic fragments of the biochemical virus merge with the human genes in a wonderful way, while producing imperceptible changes, which is why the Homo sapiens can retain the human form, but its essence has been completely changed.

Academician Zhong once again confirmed that biochemical viruses are a kind of living organisms in themselves, which can learn and evolve.

It's already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the vaccine laboratory are still bright, such a scene has been going on in the laboratory for 2 months, Academician Zhong and the experts, divided into two shifts, using the method of people and machines, running 24 hours a day.

Academician Zhong stared at the electron microscope of virus genetic engineering, and couldn't help but admire: "Look at this pair of nucleic acid bases, God, it is so perfectly fused with the genetics of the alien itself, if it weren't for the very small change in the numbers in the gene sequencing, I wouldn't be able to see that it is actually the gene of a biochemical virus." If you look at the gel electrophoresis spectrum, the fluorescence absorption peaks, oh my God, this is a cunning little guy. ”

Several experts next to him gathered around: "Where is this biochemical virus fragment owned by the Anomalous One?" What are his abilities? ”

Academician Zhong flipped through the file: "It's a strange person in Shanghai, and his ability is that he doesn't need oxygen to breathe." This is a new biochemical viral gene fragment. Isolate it right away. ”

An expert beside Academician Zhong hesitated and said: "Old Zhong, the centrifuge has broken down 4 units because of the high-speed operation, you know, we can't get a professional centrifuge, these machines were originally civilian, but we can't resist our use day and night, and there are not many reagents such as luminescent agents......

Academician Zhong suddenly slapped the table heavily: "I don't care about this, all projects can't be stopped!" Something is missing. Make a list and ask Commander Xia for it. She's going to kill people and set fires to get me these things! The experiment must not stop, we have completed four-fifths of the sample analysis and collection, and the interpretation of the gene fragments of the biochemical virus is getting deeper and deeper. Don't stop experimenting! ”

Academician Zhong has always been polite to people. Seeing him so gaffe. The experts were taken aback, and Academician Zhong also noticed that he was out of control, and he smiled bitterly and said to his colleagues: "I'm sorry. I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I think about the vaccine every day, and I'm a little angry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Experts persuaded one after another: "Lao Zhong, take a break, we are responsible for the work, and after the gene fragments are isolated, you still need to check how to produce vaccines." ”

Academician Zhong looked at a gene sequencer and shook his head gently: "I can't sleep, even if I lie in bed, I don't feel sleepy at all, the more I study, the more I find that the biochemical virus is really amazing, and how profoundly it changes the human body." Did you know? I'm an old person, but I still like to read science fiction, and although science fiction seems a little illogical to serious medical scientists like us, there is a concept in science fiction that I agree with. That is, with the development of science and technology, the evolution of human beings themselves has come to a standstill, from the Yuanmou man who walked upright, to Homo sapiens and cave man on the top of the mountain, human beings have evolved their own bodies, larger brain capacity, flexible fingers, and organ distribution suitable for upright walking...... But how many years has humanity been stagnant in evolution? Since Neanderthals evolved into modern humans, we have not progressed genetically. ”

"But if you look at the biochemical virus, it has deeply and comprehensively transformed the human body, and it can almost be said that it has created a new intelligent life!"

An expert next to him was unconvinced: "But the destructiveness of this biochemical virus is also extremely strong, in my opinion, this so-called evolution is a kind of regression, the most biochemical viruses create zombies, they are a bunch of walking corpses, what is the significance of such evolution?" In any case, in my opinion, bioviruses are an extremely aggressive alien species, which is harmful to us humans and must be eliminated. ”

Academician Zhong was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head: "We have all studied biology, and we should know that the evolution of life from single cells to multiple cells is actually the process of gene fusion with each other. We human beings are the end result of the fusion, aggression, and devouring of various genes. Moreover, as I said a long time ago, this biochemical virus is a self-learning and self-evolving living organism, and its early fusion with human genes was indeed very rough, resulting in the production of a large number of zombies. However, you should also see that in the Alien and Wisdom Corpses, the biochemical virus has become much more 'smart', compared to the Zombies, the Alien and the Wise Corpse are perfect, and all the changes are only two years, just two years! You must know that every step in the evolutionary history of human beings is measured by hundreds of thousands of years, and it took only two years for biochemical viruses to go through the evolutionary path that human beings need millions of years to walk. ”

The experts in the laboratory were silent for a while, although they wanted to refute Academician Zhong's words, but they all knew in their hearts that he had a point, and one of the experts shrugged: "No matter how perfect this biochemical virus is, I don't want to merge with it anyway." ”

Academician Zhong couldn't help but tremble a little when he heard this, he wanted to say something several times, but in the end there was no exit - that expert was wrong, because whether he wanted to or not, everyone here here, no, including the entire homeland, the remaining human beings on the entire earth, had actually been fused with biochemical viruses!

It has become common knowledge that surviving humans are carriers of biochemical viruses, but all previous studies have shown that. The surviving humans developed relatively perfect antibodies to biochemical viruses, and they were not attacked by biochemical viruses. However, with the in-depth study of the samples of the supernatural, Academician Zhong observed how the biochemical virus skillfully integrated with the human gene, and became more and more suspicious of his previous conclusion that the human survivors were immune to the biochemical virus, he quietly took his own blood sample and studied it again, and the result was terrifying, he also found traces of the biochemical virus in his own gene fragments, but the biochemical virus was very cleverly hidden. Only a few base data are abnormal. This illustrates. The survivors who thought they were lucky had actually been conquered by the biochemical virus, but they didn't know when and what kind of mutations would occur.

So, it has to be fast. Before biochemical viruses self-evolved. The first time to develop a vaccine!

Academician Zhong shook his head: "Everyone." Let's continue our work and aim to complete the full sample analysis by the end of this month. ”

At that moment, the door to the lab creaked open. I saw a cart full of food pushed in, and it was Liu Fang and Ling Shanshan who pushed the cart. Liu Fang's crisp voice, which was a little limp when walking, sounded happily in the laboratory: "Grandparents, uncles and aunts, it's time to eat, people are iron and rice are steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, the sky and the earth are big, and the meal is the biggest." ”

The experts in the laboratory all laughed, Liu Fang is the youngest child in the homeland, everyone treats her as their granddaughter, and the time when she comes to deliver food is also a rare time for everyone to rest.

Academician Zhong also held the rice bowl with everyone and pulled it up. Ling Shanshan came to Academician Zhong's side: "Uncle Zhong, you have lost weight again during this time, I made a braised egg at home, you can taste it." ”

Academician Zhong had seen about Ling Shanshan from Gu Wei's report, and had a good impression of this self-respecting and self-reliant girl, took the braised eggs she handed over, and asked while eating: "How did you learn from Gu Wei in the hospital?" You have only studied nursing before, and you have not been professionally trained, so it is always right to learn more. ”

Before Ling Shanshan could speak, Liu Fang squeezed over and said, "Grandpa Zhong, Sister Ling is amazing, learning things is like those legendary scholars, she holds a thick medical book at home every day, and she also had a hernia removal operation the day before yesterday." ”

Ling Shanshan's face flushed: "Uncle Zhong, don't listen to Xiao Liu Fang's nonsense, I'm just making a move, and it's still Sister Gu who is in charge." She glanced at the centrifuges, analyzers and other instruments around her: "I still haven't learned enough, otherwise, I can come to help Grandpa Zhong analyze the biochemical virus, even if it is a minute earlier to develop a vaccine." ”

Liu Fang also nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, with the vaccine, many people outside will never have to die again." ”

Academician Zhong finished the meal in two bites like a young man, and wiped his mouth: "Don't worry, children, next month, no, before the end of this month, I will let you hear the good news." ”

The experts of the laboratory ate in a very short time, did not rest, and immediately put themselves into work, Ling Shanshan and Liu Fang lightly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, pushed the small cart out of the laboratory, and when they passed the door, they were routinely checked by two soldiers to confirm that the two did not bring anything out of the laboratory.

Commander Xia immediately received a report that the laboratory was in short supply, and she immediately ordered: "Immediately send the best soldiers to collect the information needed by the laboratory, and tell them to do whatever it takes!" ”

At the same time, in the mountains and forests, "he", who was "heart-to-heart" with Ling Shanshan, also received the news, because of the synchronization of brain waves, Ling Shanshan heard everything he saw, "he" grasped everything, "he" immediately ordered his subordinate corpses to collect the materials needed for the homeland with all their might, and then stacked these materials in the basement of the health and epidemic prevention center of a nearby city without a trace, disguised as the basement was blocked by debris, so that these materials did not appear to be lost.

Under the deliberate guidance of "him", the soldiers who went out to search for supplies really found this epidemic prevention center and "accidentally" found those urgently needed materials.

After receiving the operation report, Commander Xia was faintly uneasy when he ordered the materials to be sent to the laboratory immediately, because it was too smooth and too calm, and the outer periphery of his home could now be described as quiet and peaceful. In the past, there were always sporadic wandering survivors looking for the legendary "white wall" around the home, but now, there is no trace of people within almost dozens of miles, and not even a single intelligent zombie can be seen. It was so calm, so calm that Commander Xia intuitively knew that there was a ghost in it, as if some force was behind it to create such a peaceful environment to relax the vigilance of the homeland.

So. Commander Xia raised the alert level of his homeland again and again, sending more soldiers to patrol and urge the relevant departments to produce more ammunition. However, day after day passed, there was no calm inside and outside the home, and even the most suspicious Ling Shanshan, after being deliberately arranged for her to have access to the laboratory, did not have any unusual behavior - no sign of contact with the outside world, no secret sabotage. Ling Shanshan, she is just an ordinary girl.

Two weeks later, in the laboratory. Academician Zhong, who had deep bags under his eyes, slowly stood up. He held a test tube with a transparent liquid in his hand, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little: "Success!" We finally succeeded, and this is the mother copy of all the fragments of the biochemical virus genes we collected! ”

All the experts stared at this test tube, and some couldn't help but shed tears. Someone said incoherently: "Vaccines." Produce a vaccine now! ”

Academician Zhong nodded: "We are isolating the genes of the biochemical virus. At the same time, the gene fragments corresponding to biochemical viruses in human genes are extracted, and since they can fully fuse with biochemical viruses, it means that they can counteract biochemical viruses. Antibodies to the relevant vaccines are contained in it. In two days, no, 37 hours at most, we will be able to make the first biochemical virus vaccine! ”

37 hours! All the personnel of the homeland took action, the white wall was completely sealed, all the soldiers were fully armed, and Commander Xia personally sat in the laboratory.

No one could sleep peacefully, Gu Wei, Liu Fang, and Ling Shanshan all gathered in the office of the hospital, silently staring at the brightly lit laboratory building opposite.

Ling Shanshan saw that Gu Wei's shoulders were trembling slightly, and she stepped forward and hugged Gu Wei's shoulders: "Sister Gu, don't worry, Uncle Zhong will definitely succeed!" ”

Gu Wei smiled reluctantly and patted Ling Shanshan's hand, Ling Shanshan didn't know that Gu Wei was not worried, she, she was afraid, because she didn't hand over the bottle of cerebrospinal fluid in Yashan Wang Lu!

After returning home, Gu Wei hid from everyone and took a picture of her brain, and she found that the needle was deeply rooted in her brain tissue, and it was impossible to take it out by surgery. To be honest, if I had been a different person, I would have died of infection with such a needle in my temple, but I didn't have any discomfort. No matter how stupid Gu Wei is, he knows that this must be related to the cerebrospinal fluid of that Wang Lu!

She once thought that she had become a smart corpse, but repeated examinations proved that she was normal. Gu Wei also thought about talking to his mother Xia Zhen about the strange things that happened to him, but Xia Zhen paid full attention to the production of vaccines and never even returned home. And Gu Wei was also afraid that he would be treated as a monster and locked up like Captain Sun. She didn't dare to say other people's attitudes, but she knew her mother best, and her mother would definitely arrest her and treat her as an experimental product.

Therefore, out of the psychology that even he didn't understand, Gu Wei hid Wang Lu's cerebrospinal fluid and kept it close to him.

Now, Academician Zhong will develop the first vaccine in the true sense, but if Wang Lu's sample is missing, can this vaccine be called perfect? What if the vaccine research fails because of the lack of biochemical virus genes in Wang Lu's body?

Gu Wei's heart was very entangled, his heart was like a worm biting, if the vaccine failed because of his own concealment, then he was a sinner of the human race!

For a moment, she wanted to rush into the laboratory, hand over Wang Lu's sample, and admit her mistakes and physical abnormalities, but the next moment, she flinched, self-reassuring Wang Lu's ability was not a big deal, it was not uncommon for him to have a "own corpse" ability, and several of the samples of the Strange Abilities collected by the Wind Gathering Team in other cities were the same as Wang Lu's abilities.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the laboratory, which became louder and louder, and soon turned into cheers, Gu Wei saw that someone in the laboratory opened the window and was shouting: "Vaccine!" We've got a vaccine. ”

The news immediately spread throughout the homeland, and in a few moments, the warriors guarding the white wall also cheered.

In the laboratory, Commander Xia Zhen and Academician Zhong stared at the tube of reagent that had just been taken out of the centrifuge without blinking, the reagent was light blue, and Academician Zhong muttered: "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful, blue, this is the color of hope." ”

Commander Xia Zhen stretched out his hand, and suddenly retracted it, as if he was worried that he would accidentally lose control of his hand and drop this sacred vaccine: "Human trial, do human trial immediately!" ”

Academician Zhong instructed: "Extract a zombie and a smart corpse from the prison cell. This tube of reagent is enough for 10 human trials, and hopefully the first test will be a success. ”

The zombies and the smart corpse were quickly sent up, and the smart corpse was Yu Yong, a fan of Academician Zhong, the zombie roared and screamed as before, but Yu Yong nagged to himself: "Zhong Lao'er, I haven't seen you for a while, I was suffocated in the basement, that Captain Sun is a stuffy gourd, I can't let go of a fart a day, what's the good thing about calling me today?" ”

Yu Yong soon noticed the unusually excited emotions of everyone in the laboratory, some of them were still wiping their tears, and then he saw the test tube held by Academician Zhong like a treasure in his hand. (To be continued......)
