Global Cataclysm: Start building Noah's Ark

Chapter 116 The Junkrat Plague is Coming!
"Rat? Immediately call out the monitoring screen!" Qin Bin's heart sank, and he said immediately.

Play back the monitoring screen on the big screen.

Under the monitoring lens of the infrared night vision device, mice appeared on the screen, seeming to be running around frantically.

Judging from the comparison with other items, these mice are not small in size, almost the size of a five or six-year-old child!

Qin Bin has seen this kind of mouse!

It was a boat drifting on the sea that I saw in my previous life, and it was full of such huge rats, and they were eating human corpses at that time!

Qin Bin can't forget that terrifying scene even now!

Is the plague of Junkrat coming?

"Notify Xiaozhuang and Chenguang's team immediately, and let them come over as soon as possible," Qin Bin said.

"It's the master!"

Xiao Ai immediately notified the two teams to gather in Noah's Ark.

In less than 10 minutes, two teams appeared on the deck of Noah's Ark fully armed.

Even though it was late at night, after hearing the emergency assembly notice, the two teams assembled at the fastest speed, which was far faster than ordinary people!

In the cold wind, Qin Bin said to Zhuang Yan: "Zombie monsters appeared in the defense circle. You drive two infantry chariots and a Knight Fifteen. Come with me to check the scene!"

Hearing the appearance of a monster, everyone's expressions became more dignified.

"Captain, what kind of zombie monster? Humanoid zombie?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"It's a mouse!" Qin Bin said solemnly.

Unlike human zombies, rats are group animals, and if a disaster breaks out, there must be a lot of them!

Zhuang Yan and He Chenguang got off the boat immediately to prepare vehicles, Qin Bin got on the Knight [-] off-road vehicle, and the three vehicles drove to the outer perimeter of the defensive circle.

The defense circle is 5 kilometers ahead of the base, and the monitoring system and machine gun bunker have been arranged earlier.

According to the number of the bunker, the location of the No. 105 bunker is also in the direction of the entrance and exit of the port, which is the surveillance location where the big rat was found.

The convoy soon came to the side of the bunker, Qin Bin asked Zhuang Yan to walk about 300 meters outside the defensive circle, and turned on the strong searchlights.

"Snapped!"

As the bright searchlights of the two infantry vehicles were turned on, a series of mouse footprints appeared on the ground, the size of which was about the size of an adult's palm!
"Xiao Ai, is the big mouse still around now?" Qin Bin asked.

"Yes, it will appear occasionally, about 50 meters in front of the chariot!" Xiao Ai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Captain! There are a lot of big rats ahead! They are coming this way!" Zhuang Yan shouted.

"Shoot immediately!" Qin Bin gave the order.

As soon as the sound fell, gunshots rang out from the infantry fighting vehicle.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Intensive gunfire broke the tranquility of the night sky, and the two infantry vehicles fired at the same time, and it only took more than ten seconds to stop.

He Chen Guanghui reported: "Captain, the big rats ahead have been wiped out!"

"Bring back the corpse of a big rat, and be careful!" Qin Bin ordered.

"It's the captain!"

He Chenguang's infantry vehicle continued to move forward, and the team members in the vehicle put on protective clothing, packed the corpse of a mouse on the ground with a rainproof cloth, and put it into a body bag.

Then the two infantry vehicles retreated.

It's late at night, it's not suitable to continue activities outside the defense circle, just get a big rat's body and go back to study it.

Qin Bin ordered everyone to return, and the three vehicles turned around and returned to the base.

After returning to the base, Qin Bin asked Xiao Ai to give Song Qingsheng an emergency notice, and then asked people to carry the dead mouse onto the scientific research cruise ship.

……

At 1 o'clock in the morning, Song Qingsheng walked quickly to the laboratory with messy hair.

He was still asleep just now, but was suddenly awakened by an emergency notification.

When he heard that the captain was coming, he got up immediately, and rushed over without even combing his hair.

Song Qingsheng entered the biological laboratory and saw Qin Bin waiting.

"Captain, I kept you waiting! Is there something urgent?" Song Qingsheng asked.

Qin Bin pointed to the corpse of the big rat on the ground and said, "This is a mutated creature, a big rat. I need to give it to you for research. You can see if they are also infected with the R virus!"

"Yes! I'll go and identify it right away!" Song Qingsheng said seriously.

He Chenguang and Chang Qing moved the dead rats into the sterile laboratory.

Song Qingsheng opened the bag with a mechanical hand, and used a needle to draw a tube of blood from a big mouse and put it into a colorless solvent.

Shake it through the mechanical arm, and the colorless solvent instantly turns scarlet!
"Sure enough, he was infected with the R virus!" He Chenguang said in shock.

Song Qingsheng frowned, and said: "It may not be as simple as being infected with the R virus!"

"Oh? Professor Song, what do you say?" Qin Bin asked.

Song Qingsheng took a deep breath and said, "Because... the size of the mouse has changed too much!"

"The R virus infection body we discovered before, whether it is a cow or a human corpse, has never become so large in size!"

"It can be said to be more than ten times the normal size of a mouse!"

"This means... the R virus may have undergone obvious mutations in the mice. As long as they eat enough protein, they can become so big!"

"R virus mutated?!" The three present were all shocked when they heard this.

"Is it the same as the mutations that appear in humans, the virus has mutated in a certain group, leading to some aspects of evolution?" Qin Bin speculated.

"Yes!" Song Qingsheng nodded solemnly.

"Survival is the first requirement of any creature, and viruses are no exception. In order to survive, they may become even more terrifying!"

"It is more aggressive, and the impact of the species is greater, enough to change at the genetic level, thereby changing the appearance of the host body!"

"For example, in mice this time, the body size has become larger, and in humans, there have been functional mutations in organs, such as skulls turning into teeth, a huge mouth growing on the top of the head, and even more changes may appear!" Song Qingsheng explained in detail. road.

He is a well-known scientist in the field of biology, and he has made great achievements in the research of biological species and genetic variation. His speculation cast a shadow over everyone's mind.

"The appearance of this kind of big rat may also mean the appearance of rat plague. They are social and omnivorous animals. As their bodies change, their demand for food will increase!"

"Now if this kind of situation occurs around the base, we need to take precautions as soon as possible!" Song Qingsheng looked at Qin Bin and suggested.

Qin Bin naturally understood what he meant, the Junkrat plague is really very likely to come!
This kind of big rat is likely to gather towards the base through the breath of human activities, and may cause a huge impact on the base at any time!

With their huge size and sharp teeth, once they break into the base, it will be very difficult to stop them!
The base is likely to be submerged in the rat tide!
Qin Bin thought for a moment, and then decided: "Immediately activate the base level 1 early warning, and make full preparations to deal with the possible rat disaster!"
