Chapter 142: Collective Cancer
Lab 2 is next door to Professor Connors' office building, where the graduate students Peter met tonight were going to work overtime.
There was a lot of movement from the lizardmen, but the main thing was that the building next to it was chiseled through, and this building didn't have much impact except for the obvious tremors.
Compared to what happened to Peter, the deceased did not become a lizard, but showed some symptoms, such as scales, and what appeared to be vertical pupils, but in fact he was blind.
Even more noteworthy is the fact that they all have huge tumors on their bodies
What happened?
Professor Connors quickly arrived at the scene and made a guess.
Tumors proliferate rapidly, and lizard serum will accelerate cell division, but it is impossible to directly cause cancer.
It's more like the experimenter had cancer and then inhaled something like that. Genetically modified drugs for lizard agents.
As for why it's similar, I don't think I need to say more. β
The lizard potion turned Peter into a monster, but Peter didn't die, and he didn't become cancerous right away.
In terms of completion, the level of completion of the potions used in Laboratory 2 is far lower, if not even 10% of Professor Connors's progress.
So how does carcinogenesis appear?
"All of the deceased had tumors in their respiratory organs β I think the carcinogens entered through the respiratory tract.
I know the professor at Lab 2, and his direction is inhalation, not injectable, like me. β
That said, it could be a lab safety incident β and if so, well confirmed.
George was noncommittal, but he soon received a phone call with information to support his claim.
The hospital transferred the medical records, and there were a total of 8 graduate students in this laboratory, including masters and doctors, 3 of whom were in the hospital, and they were not overworked and hospitalized.
They were diagnosed with cancer, and the remaining four continued to work overtime today, and one was resting, and then it became like this.
Professor, do you think this has anything to do with research? β
Connors hesitated, "I think there is, but the instruments here have moved slightly due to tonight's movement, and I can't say if the two will have an effect."
Check this out. β
Connors pointed to the pharmaceutical analyzer: "This is the pharmaceutical analyzer sponsored by the Osborne Group, which is equipped with a small Canary unit.
It's a device that disperses drugs into the atmosphere for widespread dissemination, and it's just an idea β and it's clear that Lab 2 has received more projects and sponsorships than I thought. β
The analyzer had moved significantly out of place, and Connors pulled out a bottle of ammonia and plugged it in.
If you get closer, you can smell a faint stench - the thing itself is leaking.
"It's a serious accusation, so I won't say it directly -- but. I've heard that their work is very intense, and they have conducted countless animal experiments over the past few months, none of which have been successful.
DNA agents themselves can stimulate cells, not to mention the fact that they may have inhaled multiple versions of the agent and cross-acted.
Within a few months, cancer is inevitable.
And then today, as it just so happens today, the experiment has a breakthrough, and they're going to do it again."
In the glass, the dead mouse was visibly lizardized, and there were traces of its blood on the glass, apparently frantically hitting the glass.
The drugs then spread and were inhaled by the four people, and the cancerous cells spread, forming malignant tumors, compressing internal organs and nerves, and dying on the spot.
The lizard serum they injected didn't save their lives.
Connors, Lille, and George watched the scene and fell silent.
Four promising graduate students, and several children recuperating in the hospital.
A lot of details fade with the death of the deceased, not to mention the fact that a real lizardman has appeared tonight, confusing the public.
The Osborne Group could be seen on surveillance tonight, but what does that mean?
It is normal for the Osborne Group to sponsor experiments and then ask the laboratory to produce results quickly, and the laboratory to work overtime.
Even in the case of laboratory accidents, the fact that safety regulations are strict, does not mean that accidents will not happen, which is quite unexpected, but logical.
It doesn't even need a supervillain to appear, it just needs someone who happens to have a breakthrough.
George was the first to break the silence: "What kind of person is the person in charge of the laboratory?" β
Connors opened his mouth, but didn't say directly, "You'll know in a moment." β
Soon, the police found the head of the laboratory - a member of the American Academy of Sciences, who also had a considerable say in the field, and most of the results were related to the Osborne Group.
When the police found him, he vigorously denied all speculation about the laboratory problem, insisting that it had nothing to do with him and would talk to a lawyer.
Difficult high-class elites - George has dealt with this kind of person no less.
George had a headache and asked the police to cordon off the scene first, and then the three of them stepped aside.
The three of them have determined that the matter here is absolutely inseparable from the person in charge of the laboratory, but it is difficult to determine responsibility, so they can only try to restore the scene and then file a public prosecution.
In the end, the three of them didn't say anything, but they were all thinking about one thing-
What is the attitude of the Osborne Group?
They don't even show up too many times, but they sort of a backdrop for the whole thing β did they do it on purpose, or did they do it accidentally?
It's bad here, it's bad that there's bound to be the media turning their attention to the lizardmen, to the Connors lab.
George wants the truth.
"We have to restore the scene." "I need an expert. β
Lille said, "You already have an expert." β
"Peter? Are you sure he can? β
Lille nodded: "He's already turned himself into a lizardman, isn't that professional enough?" We will also provide the technical and data support we need. β
"Then let's get here todayβ" George pinched his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
"And. Lille. George looked at Lille, "This time our collaboration is impressive β but next time, don't be so reckless." β
Lille agrees.
In the cyberpunk world, he's in the shadows.
In the Marvel world, he chooses to be a legal citizen in the Ming place, and unexpected problems can arise at any time.
Dr. Connors returned to the lab and looked in disarray, filled with frustration.
"Alas, Peter, he was a very smart boy, just. . . Children with smart and low self-esteem can easily go to extremes. β
Lille picked up a laptop from the rubble, swept away the dust on it, and began to transfer some data:
"The side of his inferiority brings harm, but the smart part, I keep the biological data β Professor, we're making rapid progress.
Artificial blood is possible, check out these. β
The biological model data after the full injection of lizard serum is more comprehensive and more referential, revealing almost all the changes in the human body after the injection of serum, becoming a lizard man and returning to human form.
And artificial blood is an absolutely viable idea!
Not only that, but non-dividing cells such as bone cells, red blood cells, and nerve cells are also very likely to be artificially cultivated!
It's just that blood is the best direction to start.
Connors was so surprised by the gift that he picked up his computer and went to admire it.
Lille didn't feel much of a mess at the mess of the labβHammond had a chunk of land anyway.
A rebuilt lab will be safer and more private.
However, this incident will definitely have a negative impact on the company, and the biotechnology thing must not affect the development of information technology.
It's time to separate the two companies.
And we'll have to find some allies.
