Chapter 35: Mutant Populations (7)
"This is Dr. Li, who is in charge of logistics and resource allocation in this camp, and this is Zhang Hai, who is in charge of security and defense measures in this camp, and the three of us are the main people in charge of this camp, that is, the three administrators with the most authority."
Su Ming was taken by Dr. Chen to meet with the other two leaders of the camp.
In fact, in addition to them, there are some administrators with slightly less authority in this camp, but the matter of virus extermination antibodies is very important, and Dr. Chen does not dare to disclose the news to too many people for the time being, so he only took Su Ming to meet the other two persons in charge.
Dr. Li wears glasses, has long hair, looks like a scholar, but does not wear a white coat, although he is a doctor, but he is not involved in scientific research-related fields, but a doctorate in economics.
As for Zhang Hai, he has the same inch as the guards outside the camp, and he is strong, he was the squad leader of the special forces before, and now he is responsible for the security and defense of a camp, which is more than enough.
"Su Ming, right?" The person known as Dr. Li lifted his glasses, looked at Su Ming for a few moments, and then looked at Dr. Chen, his tone full of doubts, "Although I am majoring in economics, I still have this bit of scientific common sense, isn't the extinction virus completely ignoring the animal immune system?" How are antibodies produced in animals? ”
Compared to him, Zhang Hai, who was standing on the other side, just shrugged his shoulders, he didn't understand these things, but he had heard similar words, so he also asked:
"Yes, Lao Chen, you don't want to joke with us because you've been in a bad mood lately, right?"
Su Ming understood that the world was shrouded in the shadow of extinction viruses and mutants, and even in the survivor camp, it was full of depression.
The people at the bottom were still waiting with hope at first, because they simply believed that the mutants were made by scientists, and that could naturally be solved, even if it was an extinction virus, it was just a virus, and sooner or later there would be a way to solve it.
But after too much time, and the scientists above have never been able to give what they want, gradually, many people will also be lost, because they have been struggling all day long, but there is no hope.
"How dare I joke about this kind of thing? I don't know exactly what happened, but when I took his blood for a safety test, I did find that all the control viruses were inactive. ”
Dr. Chen vowed that "even if he does not have antibodies in his blood that exterminate the virus, there must be something in his blood that can kill the extinct virus." ”
Seeing that he was so sure, Zhang Hai's face became serious: "Are you sure?" This is really no joke, the people at the bottom are in a bad mood right now, and if we release the news and find out that we are mistaken, the whole camp may collapse. ”
"That's right, the current situation is not optimistic, a considerable number of people have lost confidence, thinking that there is no point in persevering, and even a very small number of people jokingly say that it is better to live like this than to simply become mutants." Dr. Lee also added.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely true, you can't be wrong."
Seeing that Dr. Chen insisted, Dr. Li thought for a while and said, "In that case, it's too late today, don't announce this matter first, I will test it again with you tomorrow, and if it is confirmed, then we will contact other camps." ”
"It's okay, then you can arrange a place for him today, and it's best to arrange a separate room for him."
"No problem." Dr. Li looked at Su Ming, who had been standing without speaking, "Why don't you arrange for us to go to the place where our administrator lives?" ”
"Well, that's good." Dr. Chan nodded.
"I'm okay with that." Zhang Hai shrugged.
So, after tonight's conversation, Su Ming's identity was kept secret for the time being, and he not only joined the survivor camp smoothly, but also directly lived in a single room that only administrators can live in.
Dr. Chen went back to the laboratory building to sort out the data, while Zhang Hai was responsible for the security of the night, and he left if there was something to do, so Su Ming followed Dr. Li to the accommodation arranged for him.
Along the way, Su Ming didn't say anything, just looked at the buildings and survivors in the camp with a little curiosity.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the survivors were indeed "struggling to make ends meet", as stated in the opening animation.
The two standing guard outside the camp were very thin, although they could see some muscles, but they obviously hadn't eaten well for a long time, and Su Ming estimated that because they were security personnel, they ate better than others.
The other survivors in the camp were even thinner, just the kind of emaciation that was visible to the naked eye, there was no flesh on either side of the cheeks, and the cheekbones were a little prominent, I don't know if there was a bad mood in it, these people also looked weak when they walked.
It can be said that these people are very similar to the zombies in the apocalyptic movies in Su Ming's memory.
"It seems that it is really not in good shape, and it is estimated that in the next few years, even if there are no mutants to attack, this camp will collapse on its own......"
Previously, Dr. Chen said that the ratio of mutants to survivors was about six to one, but Su Ming felt that it was now at a critical point.
Unless the survivors make a big move, the number of mutants is unlikely to plummet, but the survivor camp itself is very likely to collapse on its own within a few years, and even if scientists develop a reversal potion, there will be no way back.
"The system arrangement is really appropriate, let me come here at this time, I still carry antibodies to exterminate the virus, and I can solve the problems of this world from the root."
Thinking that the task requirement on the task panel was to "assist in the research of resistance drugs for the extinction of the virus", Su Ming couldn't help but secretly doubt.
With the difficulty of the scene of the deep-sea game, would he really arrange such a simple task for him?
Except for being a little tired when he came to this camp, he almost didn't have to do anything in the back, just send the antibodies arranged by the system to these scientists, and let him be a 'savior' for nothing.
"I always feel that there is a big hole waiting for me in this scene, and if I slack off because the task is too simple, I guess I will die a miserable death."
Thinking of this, Su Ming carefully searched for his memory, and after a while, he looked at Dr. Li and asked, "Dr. Li, because I have been spending time in my basement before, I don't know much about the current situation, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
Dr. Li glanced at Su Ming, although he still didn't believe in this matter until he saw with his own eyes that there were really antibodies in this person's body, but he couldn't snub this possible "savior".
"Well, you ask."
"I saw a lot of mutants coming out of the abandoned buildings last night, standing motionless in the moonlight, it seems that they have been hiding in the buildings during the day and only come out at night."
"Since it's photosynthesis, shouldn't these mutants come out during the day to absorb the sun's rays, and why are they active at night?"
