Chapter 373: The Calm Before the Storm

The sky outside the carriage gradually darkened, and when the sun sank into the jagged horizon, Wang Jue finally straightened his waist and let out a lazy sigh.

"Huh...... It's almost ...... at last."

Hearing this emotion, Xu Xin, who was guarding outside the carriage, immediately rushed in.

Before the person was in bed, the inquiry reached Wang Jue's ears first.

"How's Team Qiu?"

"I don't know, I can only say that the situation is stable now, and the specific result will not be known until after midnight."

Glancing at the sky outside, Wang Jue said.

Qiu Qianjun was lying quietly on the bed at this time, although it was not as violent as before, but his trembling eyelids and the painful look on his face still indicated something.

"Do you have to wait until after midnight......

A hint of obvious worry appeared on Xu Xin's face, and he glanced at Qiu Qianjun on the bed with some unease.

Although he trusts Wang Jue's medical ability, for Xu Xin, this woman with gray hair is a stranger after all.

If you want to fully trust the other party in a short period of time, even if Xu Xin is willing, decades of military career will not allow him to do this.

Maintaining vigilance and vigilance is the basic quality of every soldier.

So in such a state of mind, Xu Xin asked with some hesitation.

"Well, Dr. Wang, can you tell me what happened to Team Qiu? I heard Chen Galun and Yu Hualuo say that Captain Qiu was not injured during the rescue mission. ”

This question has been coiled in Xu Xin's mind for a long time.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qiu Qianjun did not show any signs of injury before vomiting blood.

If there is anything wrong, it is just that Captain Qiu coughs a little more often than before.

"Qiu Qianjun's body is indeed not injured, he is polluted."

"Contaminated?!"

Whether it was Xu Xin who asked the question or Xu Xiaoxiao who was listening, they were all surprised after hearing Wang Jue's answer.

In their understanding, the word pollution is usually used in contexts such as environmental protection, and it sounds strange to use it on people.

"Yes, you can simply understand it as...... Well, parasitized by some kind of creature, like a double-disc fluke parasitized on a snail. ”

Although Wang Jue's face was impatient, he still thought for a moment, picked up a few easy-to-understand words in his mind, and explained.

But even so, Xu Xin and the others only understood half of it.

"It's like a double plate...... What worm is coming? Well, you mean Captain Qiu has a parasite in his body? ”

"It is precisely because he was infected with parasites that Qiu Qianjun made the crazy move just now?"

Xu Xin and Xu Xiaoxiao each threw out their own understanding.

Among them, the former is obviously more concerned about Qiu Qianjun's physical condition, while the latter's girl focuses on the other party's strange behavior.

"It can be understood that way."

Wang Jue did not deny the understanding of the two, and nodded in confirmation.

The puzzled expression on Xu Xin's face faded a little, but then he seemed to think of something important, and hurriedly asked.

"If Captain Qiu is infected with parasites, will Chen Galun and Yu Hualuo also have them? And Hu Keli, after all, several of them went on a mission together. ”

According to Xu Xin's understanding, when the bayonet team was carrying out the rescue mission, except for the thin-winged monster insect encountered in the alley at the beginning, they did not encounter other dangers.

And the team members did not appear to act separately.

Since Qiu Qianjun was infected with the parasite under unknown circumstances, does that mean that the rest of the team are also at risk of infection?

"You're talking about those ordinary soldiers? Rest assured, they are not defiled

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Dye ......"

After hearing the news that the rest of the soldiers were not parasitized by parasites, Xu Xin's hanging heart finally settled down a little.

Since Wang Jue was a member of the Ninth Branch, driven by curiosity in his heart, the soldier tried to exchange a few words with the other party, trying to obtain some useful information.

But Wang Jue's increasingly brief answers, as well as the increasingly obvious impatient expression on his face, soon made Xu Xin realize that he might have asked too much.

So, in order not to annoy the other party, the soldier had to hold back a stomach of questions and retreated from the carriage.

Then Wang Jue sent away the other people in the carriage, including Shao Xiuqi and Uncle Ni, who had been acting as backgrounders all the time.

Only Xu Xiaoxiao remained.

After everyone left, Wang Jue closed the door of the carriage and turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoxiao, who looked confused.

"Xiao Xiao's girl, I have something to tell you......"

Some embarrassed expressions appeared on the woman's face, Wang Jue scratched her short gray hair, and spoke.

"Exogenous genes injected into your body...... Maybe I'm mistaken......"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was still a little lazy, sat up straight in an instant, and his apricot eyes widened.

"But you don't have to worry, it's just that you got the foreign gene wrong, in fact, the treatment effect on your injury is still the same."

Wang Jue sped up the pace of explanation.

"So you mean that the alien gene injected into my body is not the Arctic Silver Fox?"

Hearing Wang Jue say that making a mistake in the foreign gene would not affect his recovery from his injury, Xu Xiaoxiao was also relieved.

Come to think of it, after she injected the silver-gray injection, although she felt very uncomfortable, the festering skin had indeed recovered as before.

Aside from being a little hungry, I didn't feel any obvious discomfort.

"Yes, the silver-gray injection is actually a rhinoceros...... The white tube is the Arctic Silver Fox......"

Wang Jue pointed to the empty needle beside Qiu Qianjun and added.

"Actually, it doesn't make a difference...... Like you said, I've recovered from my injuries and I haven't turned into a rhinoceros...... I don't think there's anything wrong with it......"

Xu Xiaoxiao, who has a big heart, didn't take the matter of the foreign gene to heart, Wang Jue asked her to choose, in fact, she didn't have any idea, she just felt that Shao Xiuqi's suggestion made a little bit of sense, so she chose the Arctic Silver Fox.

Since you have made a mistake now, and there are no obvious side effects, you can simply go with the flow.

"What's the difference...... Actually, it's still quite big, looking at your appearance, it should be a survivor who escaped from the city, and it's really good luck to be able to survive the infection period and become a booster. ”

Seeing that the girl had no intention of pursuing it, Wang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, according to her character, she would not have paid so much attention to a strange survivor.

After all, in her eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao is just an experimental subject that can arouse her interest in a small part.

The reason for the solemn explanation is mostly due to Wang Jue's attitude towards scientific rigor and his enthusiasm for experiments.

In other words, even if Xu Xiaoxiao in front of her at this moment is a guinea pig, she will make the necessary explanation to the other party.

Even if that behavior seems very morbid.

"yes...... However, you said that there is a big difference between the two exogenous genes, so what is the specific difference? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao's face subconsciously showed a touch of warmth, as if he was recalling something, and then opened his mouth to pick up the topic of Wang Jue.

"The specific difference lies in the ability to awaken in the future, and the form in which the ability is concretized."

Probably out of guilt, in the face of the girl's question, Wang Jue seemed very patient.

"Ordinary humans, after being infected with a secondary virus, have only a small chance of surviving

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

During the infection period, those who fail to survive the infection period will become secondary infections, that is, those zombies roaming the streets. ”

"And in humans who survive the infection period, the secondary virus in the body will undergo a change in character, from the previous parasitism to symbiosis."

When Wang Jue said this, he saw that the brows of the girl opposite suddenly locked together, and then interrupted.

"That...... No, I remember hearing that this is not the case, doesn't it mean that the infected person will have a 15% chance of surviving the infection period, and after immunizing against the virus, it should be the body's own production of corresponding antibodies, and under the action of these antibodies, the body will be strengthened......"

Xu Xiaoxiao recalled the news he had heard from Li Zhihao earlier and verified it with Wang Jue in front of him.

"Fifteen percent probability? Antibody? Hehe, who are you listening to about these things? People in the army? ”

Wang Jue's expression was slightly stunned, and then he said with a smile.

It's just that her smile is not friendly, and you can vaguely glimpse a trace of disdain in it.

"No, it's a man with gold-rimmed glasses, and his identity seems to be the same as Dr. Wang."

On the way back to the carriage just now, Xu Xiaoxiao had already guessed Wang Jue's identity from the reactions of the soldiers, and the woman in front of him was not the military doctor in the large army, but the rescue target of the large army going to Yunlong Town this time.

Member of the Nine Sections.

Although Ma Long and Zhang Jike did not explicitly tell the survivor team, Xu Xiaoxiao was still able to deduce some information from between the lines.

Besides, such a mysterious existence, she had seen one in Boss Lu's house before.

The Sven man with gold-rimmed glasses - Lee Ji-ho.

"A golden-rimmed man with the same identity as me......"

After hearing this, the smile on Wang Jue's face disappeared and became solemn.

Although she couldn't judge how many of the ingredients in what the girl in front of her said were true and credible, Wang Jue could be sure of one thing.

The gold-rimmed glasses man in the girl's mouth is a little strange.

However, since he didn't see the real person, Wang Jue gave up after thinking about it for a while and put him aside.

"The strengthening of the secondary virus on the human body can be simply understood as the action of antibodies, but from a scientific point of view, it is the result of the virus in the body changing its survival characteristics."

"My understanding is that it has shifted from a parasitic state of mutilating the host to a symbiotic state of win-win with the host."

"And this virus has a miraculous property, that is, it can change the genetic sequence of the human body, so that the recipient itself can obtain power that does not belong to him by implanting foreign genes."

"In general, there are a total of nine deletions in the changed gene sequence, and correspondingly, nine sets of foreign genes can be implanted."

"It's like a little overlord card game console?"

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted.

"Uh...... What's that......"

Wang Jue didn't seem to know much about the little bully card game machine in the girl's mouth, and when he was asked so coldly, the expression on his face instantly froze.

"It's a game console.,Insert a game card on the card slot.,You can play the corresponding game.。

Xu Xiaoxiao explained succinctly, and by the way, he carefully observed Wang Jue's appearance.

The other party looked like he was in his early thirties, and he must be older than himself, so he shouldn't have seen that old-fashioned game console.

"Oh, the card slot is it, it's almost ......"

I don't know if I really understood the girl's metaphor, Wang Jue nodded, intentionally or unintentionally skipped this topic.

"Compared with ordinary people, those who are strengthened by the virus are equivalent to nine more card slots on their bodies, and each set of foreign genes implanted is equivalent to inserting a group of cards into the card slots."

"Different exogenous genes will give different abilities to the recipients, and the difference I mentioned earlier is precisely because of these different abilities......"
