Food anchors must be decathlons

Three months ago, traces of an alien civilization were suspected to have been discovered in the southern part of country A.

They dug out a capsule-shaped space capsule with a special shell material. With the opening of the cabin door, the gold dust that experts called the cultural relics that were rapidly oxidized after they came into contact with the air escaped.

This also opened the prelude to the end of the world.

Zombie viruses are all over the air, and they will instinctively look for hosts, so that they, who are too small to be visible to the naked eye, have the ability to obtain the nutrients necessary for survival, and seek their own evolution through the host's genes.

As for the latter, as long as the zombie viruses in zombie plants and zombie animals are compared horizontally, slight differences can be found.

…For example, the zombie virus in the zombified plant not only looks like a cell, but also has a cell wall structure.

When the virus enters the corpse of an organism, they will first emit a substance similar to a hormone.This kind of substance will stimulate the cells in the host that have not yet died, and make the organs in the host start to function again.And they will quickly flow into the host's brain at this time, and gather together to replace the brain to control the host.

Of course, in the process of this step, in order to be more suitable for survival, they will also emit substances that "stimulate the operation of the host's organs", and aim to modify the host.

The final result after the transformation is that after they are connected to the nerves in the host, they are like shadow puppet actors who can manipulate silhouettes only with the strings in their hands, controlling the host.

The continuous evolution of creatures after the end of the world also comes from zombie viruses.

After the virus enters the organism, the innate immune system will start to work to kill the invading zombie virus.During this whole process, the evolutionary substance released by the virus will cause the originally stable genes in the organism to start to mutate-this is also the reason why the organism has supernatural powers.When the degree of genetic variation reaches a certain point, the organism will evolve into a new species, which is reproductively isolated from the original organism.

——And this point is now collectively referred to as the fifth level by the supernatural beings.

Eating the flesh and blood of supernatural creatures can indeed advance. The reason is that it can directly omit most of the process of the immune system fighting the zombie virus and directly obtain evolutionary materials.

Normally, when researchers figure out how a virus works, vaccines and antibodies can often be made.

But it was precisely because of the research on the working principle of the zombie virus that the researchers in the laboratory felt more and more helpless this time.

Vaccines are injected into the human body with attenuated, inactivated or genetically modified pathogenic microorganisms to obtain antibodies.The antibody directly allows the body to immediately obtain specific immunity and kill the virus.

In the final analysis, the above two methods are using antibodies to eliminate the virus.But the problem is, because of how the zombie virus works, the antibodies are almost useless

effect--

When the zombie virus breaks through the initial defense line of the immune system in the organism, it will invade the red blood cells in the blood, flow to the brain through the blood circulation in the human body, destroy the immune system and condense the crystal nucleus.

But because the antibody only acts on the body, it cannot act on the cells at all.As long as the virus invades cells, the antibodies in the blood can't work at all.

——In other words, no matter whether it is vaccination or antibody injection, these conventional treatment methods have no effect on the zombie virus.

Although they knew that the antibody might have no effect, all the researchers in the laboratory fell silent when faced with this result.

Lu Yang took a deep breath: "Okay, there is no time for us to hang our heads here. Now that we have figured out how the virus works, then we can start to think of ways to solve it... and about the recently discovered things, all closed Keep your mouth shut."

Lu Yang turned to look at his assistant: "You go to inform the base and tell them to stop using the crystal nucleus."

As a researcher, he doesn't understand politics.But he can also be a little clearer, if this news is revealed clearly, then the scene that will appear in the base will be the evolution of the same kind for the sake of safety and cannibalism.

In order to further evolve safely, the strong oppress the weak and let the latter devour the crystal nucleus to provide safer blood... The oppression of the same kind just broke out completely in the chaos of the end of the world.

Lu Yang is a researcher, a researcher who is so pure that he can see the bottom line at a glance... But others may not be.

……

On the other side, in the biological evolution laboratory of the research institute, Dr. Ma Jingyuan, the main researcher, stared at the glass warehouse in front of him. The third-order supernatural dog inside ate the food mixed with four tubes of zombie blood, and looked safe and sound.

As the level of the ability increases, the resistance of the ability creature to the virus seems to be increasing.

...Of course, the most important thing is not this.

Ma Jingyuan asked: "Dr. Lu is still trying to make a vaccine?"

"Yes."

"Then...you should inform the base, saying that with the increase of the ability level, the creatures will develop resistance to the virus. In any case, the evolution cannot be stopped and it is impossible to stop. There is no need to study any vaccines. Or antibodies."

……

The middlemost urban area of ​​the city S base is considered to be the safest place in the entire base, where the upper echelons of celebrities who control the city S base live.

In the bright room, the incandescent lamps on the ceiling illuminate every corner of the room.A middle-aged man was sitting at a desk with two documents in front of him.

His secretary knocked on the door holding a cup of scarlet, thick liquid: "Deputy Mayor, the medicine is here."

Deputy Mayor: "Go in."

The secretary came in and gently placed the cup on the table.

The deputy mayor sniffed the strong smell of blood from the tip of his nose, picked up his cup and drank it down.

"Did Lin Shu deliver it?" While speaking, he could smell the rust in his mouth.It seems that all the civilizations formed over thousands of years have collapsed, and human beings have returned to the barbaric age of drinking blood.

Secretary: "Yes, I sent it over and watched him drink it."

Lin Shu—the seventh-level supernatural being, is also the supernatural being who protects the entire base of S City.

"Well." The deputy mayor paused and said, "Go and inform Dr. Lu to stop researching vaccines."

"If he asks, you can show him Dr. Ma's experiment report."

...There is no need to continue researching vaccines.

Human beings have a herd mentality, and they will feel repulsed and disgusted with "different" people of the same kind.

In order to survive now, Mu Qiang's mentality will prevail.But if all the crises are lifted and the world returns to the previous peaceful society, then these high-level supernatural beings will inevitably make people feel fearful and will be abandoned by society.The hands that used to push them behind will also turn into sharp knives, strangling them all.

... What's more, judging from the research results, they will not belong to the category of human beings after they exceed the fifth level.

For non-human beings, it is estimated that the remaining humanity will all disappear.

If the apocalypse ended like this, then those high-level abilities would be the first to be persecuted.

Now the status gained by desperate efforts is erased, freedom will be restricted, life is controlled by those ordinary people, and life and death depend on how other people view their high-level abilities.

Tsk, let this end of the world continue like this.With an advanced method that can be regarded as safe, there is no need for a vaccine.

……

In the virology laboratory, Lu Yang carefully placed the test tube in his hand on the test tube rack, and turned to look at the person coming.

"what did you just say?"

"Dr. Lu," the secretary said neither humble nor overbearing, "Your zombie virus vaccine research can now be ended directly. If you are interested, you can also try to change the direction of your research and find a way to quickly improve your abilities."

"This is the report submitted by Dr. Ma, you can take a good look at it."

Lu Yang took the report expressionlessly, quickly flipped through the pages and quickly browsed through the contents.

"Okay," Lu Yang closed the report in his hand, "Then I'll talk to him a few words and ask him to revise the report."

After speaking, Lu Yang went straight out and abducted him to the biological evolution laboratory.

At ordinary times, various laboratories communicate with each other, and they will discuss problems together when encountering troubles.When Lu Yang came to their biological evolution laboratory, the researchers inside looked at him holding the report, thinking that he was coming to discuss a problem, so they opened the door for them directly.

Lu Yang entered the door, followed by the researcher who reacted and chased after him.A group of people entered in a mighty manner, directly occupying most of the laboratory.

When Ma Jingyuan looked at the posture on the other side, he felt that the visitor was not kind: "...Dr. Lu?"

Lu Yang handed over the report in his hand: "Dr. Ma, can you tell me about how you can see the inevitable relationship between the increase in ability level and virus resistance?"

Ma Jingyuan: "I can't talk about the inevitable relationship. I just summed up the experience of knocking out the crystal nucleus of ordinary supernatural beings and submitted it."

"As you said, the crystal nucleus is the virus. Then the higher the level of the ability, the harder it will be able to knock, and the stronger the ability to withstand viruses is not a matter of course."

Lu Yang said: "You're right... But getting sick doesn't always mean that you are healthy enough and able to withstand it, so that you can guarantee yourself a safe and stable life to the end."

"This is not an ordinary flu. If you are not careful, you will die."

"So what, isn't it normal for casualties to occur during the entire process of biological evolution?" Ma Jingyuan asked calmly.

"But we can try to avoid this sacrifice," Lu Yang said.

"Avoid? Rely on vaccines to solve the zombie virus, and then directly stop this evolution?" Ma Jingyuan said, "You have to know that the whole world is evolving. This is the trend, and this is the process that all living things must go through."

"If we stop now, our entire population is bound to be at a disadvantage in future competition with other organisms."

Lu Yang asked: "Including you and I, may we become zombies due to the virus in the next second?"

Ma Jingyuan's tone was firm: "Yes, including the next second, I was infected with the virus and turned into a zombie. These will be the necessary sacrifices we make for evolution."

"Only by constantly moving forward, climbing upwards, evolving stronger abilities, and having a more perfect body that is not afraid of viruses, can we have enough strength to ensure our position on the food chain."

Ma Jingyuan looked straight at Lu Yang: "The current earth is no longer the comfort zone of human existence before the end of the world. All creatures, including zombies, are evolving, and we have no right to retreat now."

Lu Yang said: "But we still have the opportunity to stop this evolution, at the beginning of the end of the world, at the beginning of all biological evolution."

"No, you have no chance." Ma Jingyuan said, "If vaccines and antibodies are useful, then the news will come out more than a month ago."

...That is to say, more than a month ago, the news of being bitten by a zombie and gaining supernatural powers was spread.If the antibody is really useful, then at that time, the supernatural being will be labeled with a term like "hope".

"It will take a lot of time to break away from the common experience in the past to find a solution to the virus. When all kinds of creatures are evolving at a high speed, when you are looking for an antidote, the creature will self-evolve to solve the virus. The method of the zombie virus."

Lu Yang: "If you can catch up, the later you evolve, the more difficult it will be."

"But there seems to be a shortcut," Ma Jingyuan said, "Lin Shu seems to be hitting the eighth level now, which is shorter than the time it took him to knock the crystal nucleus back then."

"How is it possible?! This is unreasonable." Lu Yang subconsciously blurted out.

Ma Jingyuan: "I can still lie to you here, but they came here to tell me so that I could help them recruit my former classmates."

Lu Yang seemed to have suddenly lost his interest in refuting. He was silent for a long time, and finally before going out, he said the last sentence to Ma Jingyuan: "In the current situation, if you really want your old classmate to be safe and sound , then it’s better to let him stay in the base and not come out and walk around.”
