"To be precise, the body's nerve cells feed its own brain cells...... No, its brain cells are already occupied by viruses, and they should be feeding special viruses. ”

"When it arrived, I found that it was always staring at a bottle of a specimen that contained the tissue of another living corpse. Now that there were living specimens, those tissues were dispensable, so I simply gave it to it. As a result, it was stuffed straight into its mouth and smiled as it ate...... I guess it's a smile. ”

"Later, I put the freshly dead corpse in the base with it. As a result, it became even more excited, and almost gnawed the corpse's skull to pieces. Through multiple comparisons, the virus in the brain was the most active and multiplied very rapidly within three hours after he ate the human brain. ”

"It's an interesting virus, and it's a very smart virus. Treating human cells as hosts, but not completely killing the host, is like symbiosis. It will also divide labor and cooperate, the skin and bone cells of living and zombie corpses have been modified, but those viruses do not have the function of brain cells, but only provide energy for the body. ”

"The virus in the zombie brain is supposed to be the first generation, and it is only responsible for sending limited instructions to other body viruses. But the virus in the brains of living corpses has mutated at least once, and has more complex computing power, much like our brain cells. ”

"No, that's not right, it's probably the virus that manipulates the human brain cells. Let's say it's still alive, but in fact, brain cells and some muscle cells are not human at all. It's dead, but some of the cells and tissues in their bodies are still the same as those of humans. For example, offal also needs calories, and you have to eat carbohydrates and proteins, which is completely different from zombies. ”

"So far, we've found a total of three different versions of the virus from zombies, and two from living corpses. Their genomes are all double-stranded, with both DNA and RNA, which is a new discovery that has never been seen or heard of in the world. ”

"What's even more puzzling is that there are both closed-loop and linear molecules, some of which have a membrane and some of which are not, and they are irregular, which makes them basically unaffected by nucleases......"

Wang Jianzhong's eloquence is much better than Fan Chunling's, from the idea of the test to the test results to the characteristics of the virus, he talks endlessly, his eyes are shining, and he is full of praise. I know that he is trying to find a way to eliminate the virus, but I don't know that I think the virus was created by him, how can I still have a sense of pride.

"Stop, stop...... Dr. Wang, I don't need to talk about the principle or anything, I don't understand it. Just tell me the general conclusion, what is this thing afraid of, and is there a way to treat or prevent it? ”

Looking at Wang Jianzhong, who was foaming at the mouth, Hong Tao knew a little how annoying he usually was. only asked one question, but in exchange for so much professional knowledge, on the surface, it seems that it is earned, but in fact, it is a loss, and the fart does not understand, and the time is wasted.

"As long as there is a host, it can be self-sufficient and live forever, if the host does not exist, it will enter a dormant state, and if the environment is too bad, it can enter deep dormancy, like a fungal spores."

"But how to wake up is not clear, and none of the known methods have succeeded, including artificial implantation of living cells. I have a guess that it certainly wasn't made by humans, or even a life form on Earth. ”

"It should come from a place with a harsher environment, where even the cold and radiation of space can't kill. They may have been on Earth for tens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, suddenly meeting the conditions for awakening and using humans as hosts. ”

Interrupted by Hong Tao's gushing narration, Wang Jianzhong realized that he was a little too excited, touched the white foam at the corner of his mouth and drank a large sip of water, stabilized his emotions, and finally was willing to analyze the current situation from the perspective of human beings.

"In other words, we may all have this virus in our bodies, but we haven't woken up!" In this way, Hong Tao is much more comfortable, and he knows what to focus on, but it is better not to know.

“…… It's not possible, it's certain! Several of us had blood tests and found no dormant virus, but after a bone marrow aspirate, unfortunately, everyone had it, and it was lurking in the bone marrow! Before answering this question, Wang Jianzhong and Fan Chunling glanced at each other.

"Then why aren't we sick?" Hong Tao felt that he might as well not come, this kind of news was really powerless and helpless.

After fighting for half a day, it was all in vain, and if you can't protect a thunderbolt one day, the sound frequency is just right, and the virus in the body will be awakened, and you will immediately become a zombie. The only hope now is to refute Wang Jianzhong's theory and turn the known into the unknown, which feels much better.

"Uh...... Since we do not yet know the conditions under which the virus is awakened, it is impossible to determine whether there is no cause of the disease. But I guess the human body is a very complex system, and everyone is different, and there are many variables. ”

"Actually, the virus itself is very fragile, and there are many viruses in our bodies. If it is not suitable at any point, it will not survive and grow, and will eventually be excreted by the immune system. ”

"For example, if you have a cold, maybe the virus will be affected and you won't wake up properly. For example, some people smoke, some people drink alcohol, some people are taking certain drugs, and it is even related to diet. ”

"But all this is only for the original virus before the mutation, and now whether it is a zombie or a living corpse, if you are scratched or bitten by them, it is very likely that you will still get sick."

Wang Jianzhong is not so pessimistic, which may be called well-informed. Dealing with various viruses every day, I don't think it's scary, and in turn, I have to persuade others to look away.

“…… I scratched a zombie shortly after the onset of zombie disease last year, the wound was quite deep, and a lot of blood flowed, but I only had a low-grade fever that night and was fine! Now Hong Tao doesn't think about the problems of all mankind, he always feels that he has a few zombie viruses lying on his body, and he is about to take advantage of the weakness.

"Shhh...... This is it...... Why don't I check it for you? Wang Jianzhong is really not sure why Hong Tao did not mutate after being scratched by zombies, and in a scientific and rigorous attitude, he did not continue to speculate.

"Forget the puncture......" This time it was Hong Tao's turn to hesitate, and it hurt when he thought of piercing his eyes on the spine bones.

"Hehehe, it's just a minor operation, lie down for a while and you'll be fine, at most rest for a day, don't do strenuous exercise!" Wang Jianzhong smiled, smiling so doctorally, as if seducing Little Red Riding Hood's wolf grandmother.

It's a pity that in the end, Hong Tao still didn't resist the temptation of his grandmother, mainly because he wanted to know if he had the virus in his body, even if others had it, what if he didn't?

However, Wang Jianzhong did not lie, after local anesthesia, the puncture operation process was indeed not very painful. Lying on the bed and resting for half an hour, with a sterile plaster on his back and a head full of question marks and exclamation marks, he drove away alone.

During the period after the operation, he also chatted with Wang Jianzhong and Fan Chunling about whether zombie diseases can be transmitted to animals and how the blue devil mutated, and the answer is still uncertain.

Judging from the results of a series of animal experiments done so far, the zombie virus does not seem to have any interest in animal cells, whether it is dead or alive, as long as it is an animal, it will be thrown out of the cage by Jiao Si. Not only did he not eat it, but he hated it. According to Fan Chunling, the living corpse is a vegetarian and does not touch any meat except for eating people.

As for why zombies became blue devils after radiation, one of them studied biopharmaceuticals, one studied infectious diseases, one studied virology, and even two pathology foreign aids, all of them had no more professional opinions on this issue.

If you want to figure it out, I'm afraid you'll have to go to a nuclear physicist, and you'll have to prepare a more comprehensive laboratory, and you don't need to ask about that kind of test, and you can't make do with it.

But the ancients were cloudy again, and the three stinkers were Zhuge Liang. These are all masters who like to read, and the dabbling is not only professional, but after some guessing, there is a general range.

Everyone agrees that since the zombie virus can convert sunlight into the energy needed by the body, it should not be unusual to absorb nuclear radiation. This is also in line with Wang Jianzhong's speculation, which firmly believes that the virus does not belong to the earth, but comes from outer space.
