the last gentleman

Chapter 365

in the laboratory
"Dead Spine Lake" was contributed, soaked in a mild analytical solution that would not cause him any harm.

With Reagan as the leader and Yi Chen as the assistant, they are jointly conducting endless research on the deadly epidemic,
So much so that the lunch boxes delivered outside the laboratory were piled up several layers, but the two of them didn't feel tired at all, and even their hunger was covered up by the gradually advancing research results.

In this process, Reagan became a handsome boy again. Any mental or physical consumption uses fat to assist in energy supply.

As for Yi Chen, he has long been used to the feeling of being hungry. When he was in the orphanage before his death, it was common for him not to eat for a few days.

Many friends will be hungry and mentally disturbed, and their organs will be disordered.

Perhaps because of genetics, Yi Chen can gradually develop a habit of starving for a long time, and his body can adapt to this state of not taking in external energy since childhood.

Two days are fleeting in the busy research,
The two still didn't realize the problem of the passage of time, but felt that the research was slowly advancing, the truth of the plague was being revealed, and something that could lift their spirits was slowly being revealed.

Even the Hippocrates Hospital only briefly recorded the "death plague" and did not conduct detailed research on the disease. The reason is very simple. The real dead people basically did not appear before, and only recently did they gradually emerge.

If one can write a thesis on the plague, it will definitely be included in the organization's important collections, and it will definitely be rewarded.

But on the second night,
Yi Chen, who was sitting in front of the experimental table, recording and checking the experimental data with one hand, and synchronously writing the conclusions about "infection" with the other hand, suddenly heard a strong tinnitus in his ears.

tick~
A ball of black mucus overflowed from the nasal cavity and landed on the experimental manuscript paper being written. This is a kind of blood mixed with brain matter, and it is also stained with Yi Chen's unique 'death in the past life'.

Obviously,

This is due to fatigue and even brain damage caused by not eating for two days, coupled with high-intensity mental work.

but……

Yi Chen just stood there in a daze, silently observing the special blood flowing out of his nasal cavity,
His thoughts seemed to be drawn to a certain period of time before his death, and a deep memory that was completely blocked was being slowly opened.

Recalling the real memory fragments before death, pictures flashed back in his brain quickly, and Yi Chen seemed to be bound and fixed in a dark and weird laboratory.

It's not that he died because of writing a thesis, but was used as someone's 'thesis material' and eventually led to his death. It's just the modification and cover-up of this real memory.

Apart from Yi Chen, there are other living materials in the laboratory, and these 'materials' are not normal human beings.

They more or less have the same "death" characteristics as Yi Chen, and they will be labeled "weird" in society.

They are all imprisoned here now and used as a special experimental material.

All the skulls were uncovered, and each person's brain was exposed to different lethal environments for a long time, providing relevant experimental data.

Or breed a parasite between the skulls that can drill holes and devour the brain, and even lay eggs between the cranial cavities,
Or use the brain as a petri dish to breed different types of pathogenic bacteria between the brain grooves,
Or inject powerful viruses directly into the brain, such as rabies virus, Ebola and so on.

A certain 'mentor' in charge of this project will regularly record the status of each material, and will even provide first aid and nutrient supplementation to the surviving materials after the experiment is over.

Just when Yi Chen wanted to see the appearance of the mentor in his memory,
"William!"

A strong mental stimulation went straight into his brain, pulling Yi Chen's thoughts back to reality.

The divergent pupils gathered again, and returned to the laboratory full of lightning and plague fog,
Standing in front of him was no longer a black shadow, but Reagan, who was so thin that his cheeks were completely sunken and shaped like a dry bone. He could see emotions called anxiety and worry from the pupils of his eyes.

At the same time, Yi Chen's clothes and under the seat were full of black bodily fluid from the nose.

"William, let's put our research aside for now. Your thoughts just now seem to be out of your body, and you even have a strong tendency to die, which scared me to death.

Moreover, the flagella of all the dead plague bacteria in the laboratory were pointing at you just now... What's going on? "

Yi Chen answered this with a normal face: "Well~ I recalled the things related to death in the past, and I was a little lost. How long have we been in the laboratory?"

"Two days and three hours."

"Looks like you really need a break."

"I have already applied to the director for the highest level of nutritional rest cabin, and some staff will take you there... I can hold on for a while and finish writing the last thing.

Maybe when you wake up, you can see the draft to be drawn up. "

"it is good……"

Yi Chen also accepted the arrangement, suspended in a cabin filled with nutrient solution, and wore a respirator.

Before falling asleep, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised,
"I didn't expect to have unexpected gains. This memory, which is more secret than the orphanage, has finally been 'uncovered'. I hope to see its original panoramic view as soon as possible."

At that time, I may be able to figure out the source of the black dead fluid in my body and the real reason for my death. 』

……

wow~
When Yi Chen woke up in the cabin, the moment he put on his clothes and went out, the manuscript completed by Reagan was slapped directly on his chest.

"Look at it when you have time, it's a very interesting fungus... I really can't hold it anymore, I'm going to go back and lie down for two days. Remember to come and inform me before participating in the First Gentleman's assessment. It's best to take me to the scene.

As for the finished paper, it will take some time to revise it, and it will be handed in later. "

"Thank you Reagan."

"As long as this thing can possibly help Faye, it doesn't matter how tired you are. Thank you for helping William!"

farewell reagan,

Yi Chen returned to the previous laboratory to put away the dead spine,
Sitting alone in front of the experimental table, he read the manuscripts of the plague that Reagan organized and wrote alone.

Chapter 1 discusses the nature of the dead bacteria in detail, and renames the bacteria according to the existing bacteriology.

Since the paper involves a lot of professional vocabulary and detailed descriptions that are easy for relevant researchers to fully understand, I will not repeat them here one by one. The following is a simplified content:

The essence of the deadly plague is a severe infectious disease caused by "necrobacterium necrosis", which has the highest fatality rate known so far.It is often a gram-negative short bacillus, with blunt round ends and dense staining, and is also easily stained by aniline dyes.

There are specialized flagella (flagellum), the length of which is between 100 and 150 μm, and the order of the deceased is different, and the corresponding flagella structure, quantity and function may be quite different.

This specialized flagella is pipe-shaped and can spit out the metabolites (black) inside the bacteria in the form of smoke.

The flagella between different bacteria will actively entangle together, and through the joint discharge of metabolites, they can achieve group characteristics such as long-term floating movement, arrangement and combination, and even rapid directional transmission.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, every breath of the deceased is exhaling black mist, which is actually the entangled colony of necrosis bacilli.

Taking into account all known communication channels, and also has a special "visual communication",
Any type of Necrobacterium anthracis will be covered with visual effect proteins on the surface of the cell membrane, so as to feel the 'observation' from different directions.

Once the presence of the observer is sensed, the visual effect protein will stimulate the bacteria to transmit the "death symbol" through various channels*
The * symbol is often in the shape of a cross, short at the top and long at the bottom, and the top is connected with an oval structure.

When the external individual sees the "death symbol" directly or indirectly expressed by A. anthracis, the visual feedback will guide the brain cells to change to the structure of A. anthracis, leading to direct infection at the brain level.

This infection acts on the central nervous system of the individual, producing a strong suicidal instinct,

And during the infection period, the infected person's brain will be "atomized and reproduced". When the suicide is over, the individual will exhale the "breath of the dead" carrying all the brain information, and then resurrect the dead through various dead objects.

　Thank you book friend Zhatian for helping the wolf king sacrifice the leader of this book!
