Mu Tang continued to tell:

"When someone used my name to retrieve a high-risk virus from the virus bank, this incident caught my attention."

"It didn't take long for me to discover that this man had dumped the discarded pollutants from the experiment into the river surrounding the experimental station."

Hearing this, Lu Yan already knew how the virus spread in the first place.

For the sake of secrecy, the entire building of the ACET experimental station was built in the center of the river, surrounded by an extremely fast river.

There is only one way to the experimental station.

This largely prevented someone from sneaking into the station to avoid the sentry.

The river connects most of the surrounding waters, and the consequences of dumping pollution into the river can be imagined.

Mu Tang continued:

"I thought it was a virus leak, but it wouldn't be long before I received the news that there was a highly contagious virus around me, but I didn't expect things to be far from as simple as I thought."

"I picked up a rotten fish by the river, but it was still alive."

"It's like the fish doesn't know it's dead, it's beating 24 hours a day, and it's very aggressive."

This scene was very familiar, and Lu Yan couldn't help but think of the dead fish they had seen on the river beach before, as well as the fish from the scientific research department two days ago.

"I sampled the water and found that there was no living organisms, algae, microorganisms, nothing in the water."

"It's as if all living beings have been hunted by this virus, and finally turned into nothingness."

When Mu Tang said this, he raised his finger:

"It's actually quite easy to verify."

Lu Yan followed her gaze and fell on the slender fingertips, and knew in her heart:

"You dripped your own blood?"

Mu Tang bowed slightly:

"Yes, I was amazed by the fact that the moment the blood was dripped into the water, whether it was red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets, it shrank and became inactive in an instant."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, the zombie spreads very quickly in the body, and once it is bitten for a few seconds, it will cause death, which is not something to be expected.

Sure enough, Mu Tang continued:

"What surprised me was not the shrinkage and death of cells, but what happened later. All cells quickly regained their vitality after a few seconds, and began to undergo anomalies. ”

"Just like cancer cells, they quickly divide into abnormal cells, and then they continue to spread, and then they start to go berserk and become abnormally active."

Mu Tang's fingertips tapped the desktop:

"In other words, although the zombies are dead according to our current medical definition, they are still alive in a sense."

Lu Yan quickly thought of the rapid self-healing of high-level zombies, if this is the explanation, then their self-healing can also be understood.

"I quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and began to investigate along the river's direction."

"Thankfully, the river is not used for domestic use, so there are no outbreaks of widespread infections in the cities it flows through, but there are fishermen who depend on the river for their livelihoods."

"So the infection broke out with them?" Lu Yan asked.

"Yes, but their local officials didn't choose to report it, they chose to block information."

Mu Tang nodded:

"They were told that water could seal off the virus, so they tied up the infected person and sank into the water with the intention of reducing the spread of the virus."

"It's ridiculous." Lu Yan really didn't expect that until now, there are still people who think that sinking people is more effective than going to the hospital.

Then they thought of the zombies they had encountered by the river, tied under the water.

So isn't that some kind of superstitious activity, but rather an attempt to block the virus?

But Mu Tang shook his head:

"No, this method does have a certain effect, but it only has an effect on that small area."

"They made the land they lived in safer, but they spread the virus farther and caused the organisms in the river to mutate."

After tasting the sweetness, the authorities acquiesced in this absurd way of dealing with infected people because they were afraid that they would be held responsible for the failure of epidemic prevention.

They didn't have the slightest idea how much disaster such a treatment would bring to people elsewhere.

Lu Yan frowned and listened, always feeling that he had neglected something, his eyes fell on the wall of the small courtyard outside the window, and suddenly said:

"No, the people who told them about the methods of controlling the virus are not here for purpose, but to isolate the land!!"

Mu Tang's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded in approval:

"That's right, since the administrator has chosen such an epidemic prevention method, he must firmly block the news of the virus and prevent people from leaking out."

"The fishing village by the river is not a port, it is far from the city, and the transportation is even less developed."

"I don't need to say how developed communication is now, if this can be hidden, then this place will inevitably become a 'isolated place'."

Mu Tang said:

"Isn't this a great place to experiment?"

Information lock-in, ready-made test subjects, and a regime manager who has reached a dead end and has no choice but to be an ideal place to experiment.

Lu Yan also understood that with the current national conditions, it is impossible for "kidnappers" to form an army and control a certain area for a long time.

In this case, of course, the only way to choose is to choose the "person in charge" who directly controls the area and then blockades the place in his name.

The people inside are kept in captivity like livestock, and then all the information reported by the controlled "puppets" creates a false shell that is safe and sound.

If you think about it this way, even the pollutant was poured into the river at the beginning with an ulterior motive, it turns out that this is all the purpose of the people behind the scenes, how sinister the intentions!!

Speaking of which, I have to mention the private invocation of the virus, one of the makers of the zombie virus.

Mu Tang hesitated for a while, and finally asked:

"Do you know Mu Xu?"

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:

"Is that your father?" In fact, when he saw this name at first, he felt familiar, and then he thought that it might be the same surname as Mu Tang, so he didn't think much about it.

Mu Tang nodded, not knowing what he remembered, his face instantly became cold:

"My father, in a sense, can afford what you call a 'genius', he is an important cadre of the national aerospace department."

"National space department?" Lu Yan was a little surprised, but listening to the content of the dream that Mu Tang told before, Mu Xu was completely an expert in virology.

How can two completely unrelated fields, which span so far, appear in the same person?

Mu Tang's cold voice continued to sound:

"Such a person, when his career was in full swing, suddenly chose to abandon his professional knowledge and chose to transfer to pathology, which he knew nothing about."

As you can imagine, neither his colleagues, nor his friends, nor his family, can understand his choice. No one thought he would succeed. ”

When Mu Tang said this, his eyes seemed to be shattered ice, and he was extremely cold:

So he chose to leave his family, divorced his wife, and lived alone with his oil bottle daughter.

It's a pity that this daughter is just a drag oil bottle for him, and there is no place in his heart that is filled with ideals and beliefs that belongs to his father's love.

Mu Tang suddenly chuckled, his eyes full of unclear emotions:

"But he succeeded later, relying on his brilliant brain and desperate madness, he finally succeeded in becoming the chief of ACET, until he retired and I took his place."

"It's just that after all, he is the former chief and my nominal father, even if he leaves office, he can do something in ACET."

"Did he use your name to bring up those highly contagious viruses in the virus bank?" Lu Yan guessed that Mu Tang had mentioned this dream.

Mu Tang nodded:

"I got the zombie virion that I had created from him and started working on antibodies."

As soon as he heard "antibody", Rao is Lu Yan couldn't help but ignite hope:

"So...... Antibody vaccines? ”

Mu Tang glanced at him and shook his head:

"I may be going to disappoint you, with my current knowledge, there is no way to develop a vaccine."

Lu Yan smiled bitterly, he had a premonition, but he still couldn't help but be disappointed.

However, Mu Tang's next sentence made him stunned:

"I took a middle ground and let the virus go dormant."
