Chapter 361: Dead End
Xindu wants to restart the Butterfly Project, is it because of this reason that Qiao Tang will kill his colleagues and escape with important information?
As soon as this question emerged, it was denied by me, Qiao Tang can eliminate a team, but Xindu can form another team.
Moreover, Qiao Tang is obviously a meteorite expert, so he should be responsible for researching the source stone, what does it have to do with time travel?
"There were only two scientists left who participated in the Butterfly Project, and I killed them." Qiao Tang said.
I wondered, "Why?" You don't want to know this... What is the pattern? ”
"It's a microbe." Qiao Tang said: "The source stone is radioactive, which can mutate the organisms around it. ”
Qiao Tang didn't have a special purpose when he first came into contact with the source stone, but he soon discovered that the butterfly pattern on his body had a sense of the source stone, so he boldly assumed that this microorganism was mutated by the radiation of the source stone.
He thought that the Butterfly Project was someone using the radioactivity of the source stone to create mutated creatures, but he didn't expect that it was a virus brought back from the future by someone who traveled through time and space.
Then the parasites on his body should have spawned in a natural environment, not artificially cultivated.
Qiao Tang's father parasitized this creature on Qiao Tang's body, no wonder the female zombie showed such a surprised expression, and did not hesitate to sacrifice her son in order to preserve the sample of this creature.
If there is no subsequent supplementary explanation from the female zombie, I would have to wonder if Qiao Tang's father is his biological son.
The female zombie recognized the butterfly pattern at a glance because she had heard rumors about the creature during her captivity.
After their group failed, the mercenaries organized a team of people to plane-travel, and the team brought back samples containing a creature known as parasitic butterflies.
This microorganism parasitizes the human body and is immune to the zombie virus, and it was extracted from a future survivor by a scientist in the group, and she only knows that the scientist's surname is Joe, and everyone calls him Dr. Joe.
Synthesizing the accounts of Qiao Tang and the female zombies, first of all, I made one thing clear, when Qiao Tang's father traveled to the future, there were still survivors alive on the earth.
And, they found a way to immunize against the zombie virus, which is this microorganism called parasitic butterflies.
The female zombie recalls that Dr. Joe's team sent back a message saying that they had obtained an important biological sample, but when they returned, they said that the sample had been lost in time travel.
This is a false claim, perhaps because their hirers have taken extreme action to prevent someone from misappropriating the samples.
It turns out that Dr. Qiao did take the sample and he lost his life because of it, but why?
He knew that this creature was immune to the zombie virus, so why didn't he give it to others to study, and he might be able to make an antiviral agent in time.
I don't believe Dr. Joe's anti-humanity and wants the world to be destroyed, maybe he just doesn't trust anyone else, especially the people who hired him.
At the moment, the real reason is that the female zombie doesn't know, and Qiao Tang doesn't know either, this secret has been buried deep underground with Dr. Qiao's death.
After Qiao Tang had his own laboratory, he had also secretly taken samples of parasitic butterflies for testing and conducted a series of comparisons, but the structure of this microorganism had long been unrecognizable, and he could only determine that it was an unknown creature that had not been discovered by humans.
At that time, the disaster had not yet broken out, and Qiao Tang did not know that this microorganism had the ability to be immune to the zombie virus, and he had not communicated with female zombies before.
When the end came, he had been well protected and had no chance to come into direct contact with zombies until he heard in Xindu that someone was going to restart the butterfly project, and one of the purposes of the restart was to collect parasitic butterfly samples.
"Have you studied it since you came here?" I asked.
"No, you must have a special permit approved by Qiu Dehai to enter the scientific research center." Qiao Tang said: "I don't have many opportunities to go in. ”
"You can't take any chances." Qiao Tang is a very assertive person, and he can handle things, calculate his age, he should have just graduated from high school when he was injected with parasitic butterflies by his father, ordinary people will definitely ask for help from the people around him or the outside world when they encounter this kind of thing, but he didn't, he carried it alone.
So he was cautious, he didn't trust the New Human Alliance, and he didn't trust Qiu Dehai either.
If this microorganism can be made into medicine, it will be a good thing for human beings.
"Dr. Joe, what year did their group travel to?" I asked the female zombie.
"I don't know." The female zombie simply shook her head: "At that time, the guards only talked about a few words of the most exciting news, and did not say details. ”
I glanced at Qiao Tang, he definitely didn't know, such an extremely confidential research project, and even endangered his life, Dr. Qiao naturally wouldn't let his son know too much, so as not to save his life.
I frowned, 'future' is a very vague concept of time, and it means that this microorganism that is immune to the zombie virus may appear in 10 years, or it may be 100 years away.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it has already appeared.
At this moment, a series of questions floated in my mind, who hired the female zombie and Dr. Joe?
Did they already know what was coming, did they warn the world but didn't pay attention to it, or did they choose to remain silent knowing that disaster was coming?
Or have you found a safe place to prepare, intending to protect yourself in troubled times?
I think back to the 'rumors' that have appeared on the Internet in the past, and that there are many forms of the end times, and most people think that those speculations and conjectures are nothing more than nonsense or fanciful science fiction.
Global outbreak of zombie virus? A year ago, even I didn't believe that this could happen.
"Do you know who hired you?" I ask this out of sheer curiosity.
"A multinational company, speaking of which Qiu Dehai is still my junior." The female zombie said sarcastically.
In this way, she and Qiu Dehai belong to the same company, but the research projects they participate in are different, and the company is obviously just a front, and it is unknown who is behind the manipulation.
"I was locked up for 11 years, and on the day the virus broke out, the place where I was held was not spared, and I was in my cell, watching people bite each other outside the glass walls, and finally they all turned into zombies."
It is conceivable that the place soon became the same as other closed places after the end of the world, until Qiu Dehai sent people to clean up the zombies and found her, Qiu Dehai's original target was definitely not her, he was looking for the resources of his old club.
But their old boss already knew what was going to happen in the future, but they still let the unsuspecting insiders turn into zombies, which is really a bit unreasonable.
Something must have gone wrong with the experiment through time and space, Qiao Tang said that someone wanted to restart the butterfly project, on the contrary, it means that the plan must have been closed, or put on hold indefinitely.
Some people just can pick things up, but they can't make trouble, such as Qiu Dehai's old club.
The topic turned into a dead end here, and at this point, Qiao Tang talked about the reason why he killed his colleague and fled.
Because they accidentally discovered the parasitic butterfly on his body, they wanted to report the matter and make him the subject of study.
Qiao Tang struck first and got rid of them, the so-called absconding with secret information was just his deliberate guidance, and the information he took away was indeed confidential, but it was only the research data of the source stone, and it was a few plans to make the source stone into a weapon mass production.
All this is just to hide the parasite on his body, and the relationship between this microorganism and the source stone, no one suspects that there is something wrong with him.
Qiao Tang didn't know about the existence of female zombies during the time he was in the New Human Alliance, until he heard that melody just now.
The female zombie said that this melody had been played repeatedly in the experimental center of the Butterfly Project, so she was deeply in her mind, and Qiao Tang's father was the same, and he also played this melody repeatedly on the day he returned home, and he played it for several hours.
Qiao Tang said that he remembered the details related to his father's death very clearly, and when he heard the same melody, he immediately thought of the Butterfly Project.
He had looked for similar melodies on the Internet, but he had never found the same tune, and he felt that it was a piece that was not known to the world.
The female zombie played this song because she was most impressed by it, and there happened to be a piano underground, which Qiu Dehai used to appease a monster that liked to listen to piano music, and whenever that monster went berserk, as long as the researcher played a song live, they would be quiet.
The female zombie flicked casually, wanting to vent her depressed feelings, but she didn't expect to attract Qiao Tang, so she chatted about a bunch of unexpected truths.
"Now that you're free, what do you plan to do in the future? You can't stay in the quarantine area all the time, wait for Qiu Dehai to destroy you. "Now that we've talked about the past, I think it's time to talk about the issues at hand.
The quarantine area is covered by a transparent shield that cannot be destroyed by violence, I have tried, escaped monsters have tried, and female zombies have tried.
The walls of her underground cell were shielded from this, and as around the island, it took her eight months to get Qiu Dehai to let her guard down on her, and Qiu Dehai thought she was dying of extreme weakness, and reduced the amount of medicine injected into her.
She seized the opportunity and provoked a riot of monsters below, the monsters destroyed the central control room, the shield failed, and she finally escaped.
However, the shield control center of the quarantine area is outside, and the monsters inside can't destroy it, and the escape plan is about to fail.
However, if she doesn't go out, Qiu Dehai's people can't come in, and the two sides are facing each other, but it's not a way after all.
"I know you're a psychic powerhouse, and your psychic power can penetrate the protective shield." The female zombie didn't say everything, but her eyes were full of ruthless killing intent.
"yes, so if I want to go on a killing spree, I would have done it a long time ago, but the problem is that I don't want to." It should be the electronic equipment that controls the protective cover, and I don't know who controls the equipment or where it is, so do I want to kill all the people on the island and move the island to the ground?
The female zombie's expression distorted, she has been imprisoned for many years, and her psychology is inevitably a little dark, she wants to take revenge on Qiu Dehai, or anyone, but I can't lose my mind like her.
