In the end of the world, I want to be the queen of zombies

蓝星新历315年4月13日，上午10点42分。

C University East Campus, Comprehensive Research Institute.

Inside the P3 biosafety laboratory.

"After our preliminary analysis, the newly emerged virus should be a variant of the rabies virus. Have you discovered anything by reading the virus's genes?"

Professor Lin put down the virus culture dish in his hand and asked softly to the three people beside him.

As a doctoral supervisor at C University, Professor Lin likes to increase students' interest and participation by asking questions during work.

"Teacher, after comparing the DNA and RNA of the sample, I found that one of its genetic information has never been recorded before."

Su Li thought for a moment and said, "So I suspect that the virus that appeared this time is likely the product of the evolution of the rabies virus combined with some new or ancient virus."

As a doctoral student in virology, Su Li's strength in her professional field should not be underestimated. She knows that Professor Lin is used to asking questions during practical operations, so she will be fully prepared before each experiment.

Professor Lin nodded slightly, turned around and asked another young girl beside him, "Xiao Xie, what do you think?"

Xiao Xie hesitated for a moment and said, "I think the set of genes that Senior Sister Su mentioned should come from a brand new virus. After all, it has never appeared before."

Professor Lin did not comment and continued, "Assistant Sun, what do you think?"

Assistant Sun is a middle-aged woman. She smiled and said, "I think this is more like an ancient virus."

Professor Lin heard this and asked with interest, "Oh? Why?"

Assistant Sun pointed to a piece of data in the report, cleared his throat and said, "Because I think this genome is very similar to prions. Judging from the degree of evolution in the information, I suspect its parent strain is likely the first generation of prions."

Su Li said with full approval, "I think so too. Judging from the genome information, this is more like an ancient virus."

Xiao Xie asked in confusion, "But why did an ancient virus suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

Su Li explained, "It is very likely that the greenhouse effect is serious, causing global warming and the melting of Antarctic glaciers, and the virus that was dormant under the glaciers has been reactivated."

Xiao Xie nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything more.

The coalition government raises the issue of global warming almost every year, but rectification plans are repeatedly delayed and never passed.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of interests.

Su Li paused for a moment and continued, "At present, the main way of transmission of the new rabies virus is still blood transmission. There is no possibility of aerosol or contact transmission for the time being."

Professor Lin said, "That being said, the new virus evolves very quickly. For the sake of people's lives and health, we must quickly analyze the virus and develop a vaccine as soon as possible."

"By the way, Xiaoli, has the type 4 rabies vaccine developed by the Bioengineering Research Institute entered the clinical trial stage?"

Su Li replied, "The first phase of clinical trials has just begun, and a total of 20 trial participants are being recruited. There are two participants on our East Campus, Mengmeng and I."

Professor Lin glanced at Su Li and said hesitantly, "Phase I clinical trials are still somewhat dangerous. Try not to participate in them yourself in the future."

"We can only protect others if we protect ourselves first. Remember?"

Su Li nodded gratefully and said with a smile, "Don't worry, teacher. The vaccination time has been more than a week, and there are no physical abnormalities for the time being."

Professor Lin said helplessly, "Okay, just keep it in mind."

"Cough cough cough..."

As the two were talking, Assistant Sun suddenly started coughing violently. His body trembled, his eyes turned red, and he fell backwards.

Professor Lin quickly supported Assistant Sun and said with some concern, "Xiao Sun, are you okay?"

"Xiao Li, seal the sample first. Xiao Xie, come with me to help Assistant Sun to the infirmary."

"Okay, teacher."

Su Li looked at Assistant Sun with some concern, then turned around and began to pack up the virus samples in the safe.

"Assistant Sun, what are you doing!"

"Let go of Professor Lin!"

A burst of exclamations and screams suddenly rang out, interrupting Su Li who was doing the finishing work.

Su Li let go of the sample in her hand, stood up and looked towards the direction where the scream came from.

Assistant Sun, who is usually gentle, was seen pushing Professor Lin to the ground, pinning him down with his body, and resting his head on Professor Lin's abdomen.

Xiao Xie stood beside the two of them, put his hands on Assistant Sun's shoulders, and tried to pull her away from Professor Lin.

"What's going on? Why are they fighting?" Su Li asked puzzledly as she walked towards the three people.

"Blood, a lot of blood!"

Xiao Xie, who was trying to stop the fight, seemed frightened and stepped back repeatedly until his lower back hit the operating table.

"Be careful."

Su Li quickly stepped forward and held up Xiao Xie who was about to fall, but when she turned around, she saw an extremely horrifying scene.

Professor Lin's eyes widened in pain, blood gushing out of his mouth. Assistant Sun used his teeth and hands to tear a big hole in his abdomen.

Under the horrified gazes of Su Li and Xiao Xie, Assistant Sun inserted his hand into Professor Lin's chest, pulled out the organs, stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation, and began chewing them in big mouthfuls.

"Ah, murder! Murder!"

Xiao Xie covered his head and screamed.

Perhaps it was Xiao Xie's voice that affected Assistant Sun's eating. Assistant Sun, who was originally lying on Professor Lin and eating happily, stood up tremblingly and looked towards Su Li and the others.

At this time, Assistant Sun had lost her usual gracefulness.

The originally fair skin turned dark blue, and several black blood vessels were scattered across the face like earthworms.

The eyes that were usually full of tenderness and seemed to be able to speak had completely changed at this moment. The entire eyeball was covered with bloodshot, and all you could see was a sea of ​​blood.

"Hungry…"

Along with Assistant Sun's unconscious roar, blood mixed with internal organ fragments kept dripping from the corners of her mouth, dyeing her white coat blood red.

"Is this a zombie? Has the biochemical crisis really broken out?" Su Li couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Seeing Assistant Sun's current appearance, Su Li couldn't help but think of the movies she had watched before.

"what!"

Xiao Xie screamed again, almost piercing Su Li's eardrum.

Assistant Sun, who was stimulated, seemed to have turned on a switch. He accelerated and rushed towards Xiao Xie.
