Volume 1 The End Is Coming Chapter 4 Alien Invaders
Arriving at the compound of the institute in less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Yin saw that the name of the unit on it was still the original name, but the word "country" was added in front.
Gong Yu took out an access card and swiped it on the door, only to hear a "tick", and the door opened.
Ji Yin followed Gong Yu closely, like a primary school student who came to the university, curious about everything.
Gong Yu walked all the way to the third floor, stopped in the corridor, took out the door control card again, and heard the call: "Please put your face at the access control." ”
Gong Yu lowered his body and leaned his head into the gatekeeper.
"Identification is correct, please go!"
Ji Yin covered her mouth and laughed, "Who set up this sentence, it's too funny." ”
Gong Yu also smiled, "Do you feel like you're going to end up as soon as you enter?" ”
"Yes. By the way, it's so hard for you to get in here, will it be considered a violation if I come in? ”
"Of course not, you followed me in."
"You should have permission to come in."
"Of course, it won't be possible to change to an ordinary researcher." Gong Yu's expression was smug.
"So you're no ordinary researcher?" Ji Yin couldn't help but smile and asked.
At this time, a researcher came up to him, saw Gong Yu step aside, and respectfully shouted: "Director Gong!" ”
"It turns out that you have been promoted to the director, no wonder you are so arrogant here!" Ji Yin smiled at Gong Yu.
Gong Yu cleared his throat and whispered, "That...... It's just the deputy director, and I still have a leader above me. ”
By this time, they had already walked to a development room full of bottles and cans.
Gong Yu took out a sealed test tube from it and handed it to Ji Yin.
Ji Yin looked at him suspiciously, and Gong Yu said, "Didn't you want to ask me about my current form?" ”
Ji Yin pointed to the test tube, "But if you show me this, I don't understand." ”
Gong Yu pointed to something like a string of small bubbles that had been swimming in the test tube and explained to Ji Yin:
"That poison is this, and even if it is separated, it will still survive. And whether we put it above 100 degrees Celsius or below minus 100 degrees, it cannot affect it, so it can be said that its vitality is extremely tenacious. It is attached to the human body, and even if a person is cremated after a serious illness and death, it may still be alive. ”
Ji Yin's mouth has opened unconsciously, which has not only broken her cognition.
Gong Yu didn't give her a chance to speak, and said, "According to our preliminary research, the cell structure of this poison has been analyzed. It is different from the cells we have seen in history, it is a complex cell with high density of multiple elements, and has a high affinity and fusion ability, we estimate it to be TMU20 virus first. ”
"So it's not a virus, it's a virus?" Ji Yin muttered to herself.
"Yes, it's actually a virus. It can be integrated into the human body and is not strongly rejected by the cells in the body. In this way, it can further build a friendly and cooperative relationship with the cells of the human body, and even become a friendly friend. We also found that the virus is very active, and it can not only integrate into the body's cells, but can gradually dominate the cells in the body. In layman's terms, the virus can also command and command the body's original cells. ”
"It's horrible! Isn't that humanity going to be dominated by this virus anytime soon? What will people be like? ”
"Judging from the current situation of these patients, they should still be human. But the appearance is human, and it is difficult to say what is inside the bones. Gong Yu stared at the test tube in his hand without squinting, not knowing what he was thinking.
"How can I say it, what else will it be?" Ji Yin raised her voice unconsciously, she really couldn't imagine it.
Gong Yu's gaze moved from the test tube to Ji Yin's face, and said solemnly: "This virus does not want to kill humans, but wants to coexist with humans and obey its commands. ”
Ji Yin seemed to understand a little and said: "Listening to you say this, this virus is more like a foreign invader. ”
"Yes, you're on the point. It is to invade first, then to occupy. The manifestations and symptoms of patients in the early stage are a reaction in which human cells and viral cells understand each other and penetrate each other. Or can it be said that the virus is tempting? ”
"Temptation?"
"Not bad. The virus is trying to penetrate, and it is not easy to control the human body, so as to achieve the goal of completely dominating the human body. ”
"So what should we do?"
"Wait. The first is to continue to develop antidotes and strive to drive them out of the human body before they are completely penetrated. The second is to isolate the infected and deal with it slowly. After all, it happened so suddenly, and the virus caught us off guard. ”
Being in the research institute, Ji Yin's heart calmed a little, and she asked again: "I'm still curious about what will happen to people when all human cells are dominated and controlled by virus cells?" ”
Gong Yu's face was no longer serious, but in its place was fatigue, and there was an unspeakable hint on his face.
Seeing his expression, Ji Yin asked tentatively, "Is it someone who has already appeared in this situation?" ”
Gong Yu nodded quietly, and shook his head again, "After research, it has been found that the earliest poisoned patients can no longer take care of themselves except for their conscious independent thinking. The symptoms are a bit like ALS, but it's not the same as ALS. That's when the virus cells have taken over most of the body's cells, and it's not long before new mutations appear. ”
"Mutation?! But why can't I find relevant claims in the news or on the Internet? ”
Gong Yu glanced at Ji Yin meaningfully and said, "This has been included in the top state secret, and those patients have also been sent to a secret place for quarantine observation." ”
"Aren't you research institutes? Why isn't it quarantined with you? Ji Yin's eyes flickered, too many questions.
"We only have two patients here, and we're dedicated to developing a vaccine that works to spread toxins. Besides, there are too many infected people to fit in. Do you want to check it out? Gong Yu saw Ji Yin's burning gaze and knew what she was thinking, so he asked.
Ji Yin had only heard about it on TV and the Internet, so she was curious for a long time, and hesitated: "That, didn't you say that this is a state secret?" Can I watch it? ”
"Since you're in, of course you can. Besides, this secret is only for the time being, for fear of causing a riot. But after a long time, I can't cover it even if I am afraid, and when the time comes, it will not be announced, and everyone will know that the power of transmission is terrifying......" Gong Yu has already walked out.
"But I'm also an ordinary citizen." Ji Yin said this, but her footsteps followed Gong Yu closely.
Gong Yu turned around and saw that Ji Yin was following, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "You are my old classmate, so you are not an ordinary person." Let's go! ”
The two of them walked all the way to the end of the third floor, and passed through another curfew. What appeared in front of me was a large room, but it was all made of silver-white titanium, and there was not a single gap in the joint.
