Belly Trojan

Regarding the assassination of Yi Huazang, even the important officials in the inland side, only a very few people know the specific situation; and in the vast and quiet starry sky and mountains of Yuncheng, everything is as quiet as a firefly in the mountains. Fire, no one anyone knows that an accident is happening close at hand.The OMEGAs located in the small refuge provided by Orion held a "democratic resolution" under the auspices of the elite OMEGA named Yu Lian, and decided for themselves where to go next: go back to the inland, stay where they are, or Go to Yi Huazang's factory and try his luck.

Ling Yanzhi originally thought that the unfriendly attitude of this group of people would make them unwilling to trust him, so he followed him to a businessman's lair in a desperate manner; in contrast, returning to the inland is a safe and secure way, no matter what they have done, The inland authorities will definitely accept them without hesitation.But in the end almost everyone chose Yi Huazang's factory, which surprised Ling Yanzhi.

"It won't change anything when we go back." Yu Lian said, on their way to the Yihuazang factory, the Orions were guarding a long line around them, and most of the OMEGAs were sick and walked slowly. "It will only be more strictly regulated. We can be able to be healthy, but we are 'reformed' and regarded as some kind of 'sick people'. But is our disease the cause? No, it's just because this society has collapsed 20 years on, everything is at its limit; this is the end and end of a long duel between man and nature."

"You're a sociologist."

"Society is about to cease to exist. Does sociologist have any meaning?" Leaning on a wooden stick as a crutch, he glanced at Ling Yanzhi, "I believe you have also thought about this issue. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so desperate. To become Chairman of the OMEGA Council, you've bet every available part, even now... Do you know what it's like? It's like the dying instinct of all animals. We sensed that the warm water was reaching its limit."

"I didn't think about it that much." Ling Yanzhi said lightly, "Besides, this problem is not solved out of thin air."

"You know what? We won't be the first society to collapse. Human society has collapsed many times. Suddenly, civilizations that were once glorious for a while suddenly disappeared because of excessive plundering of the environment, the spread of disease, religious strife, The war and the severance of the symbiont resource chain..." The sociologist paused, "And I think that the solidification of a certain kind of thinking may also be similar to religion. We are bound by ourselves. The solution is close at hand, and we There is no reason to refuse."

"solution?"

"In Yuncheng, what did you see?" Yu Lian asked back, "You also noticed it, otherwise, why did you insist on going to that factory?" He stared at the Milky Way across the sky in the middle of the night with piercing eyes. If this kind of social function collapses, we should not establish the same as before... The social form that replaces it should be brand new, or even completely opposite to the previous one. If we want to survive, we cannot abide by dogma."

Ling Yanzhi doesn't like theoretical discussions very much.Practice is more important than anything else.He didn't continue this topic, because they had already crossed the mountains, and they had contacted Yi Huazang with a password beforehand, and got a positive answer.The fortress belonging to Yi Huazang hidden in the mountains looks quiet and dormant.The surrounding area was very quiet, and the forest at night was like some kind of magic cave, reminding him of the night when he ran like a prey in the dark.That might become a nightmare for his life, Ling Yanzhi could touch the bullet-grazed scar on his side of his waist, and it wasn't even completely scabbed over.But he doesn't have time to dwell on any nightmares now, as if he must be forced to run forward; fear and PTSD are probably only available in a coffin - fortunately, like a long-distance marathon runner on the verge of despair When I saw the finish line, I just took my last breath; fortunately, the finish line is not far away.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, but he faintly sensed that something was wrong; even before he approached, he could still feel an overly quiet dead air from the grand and extravagant gate.The experienced hunters also called a stop almost at the same time. Hansen's chiseled face was as severe as a steel plate at this time, and they lay on the ground and listened.

"Not right."

"It's too quiet..."

"No vibrations..."

The tunnels and caves that were originally used to manufacture drugs at the bottom of the mountain are now all factories and living areas.Yi Huazang's site was chartered by the hunters, and work would only start at night.In any case, the small resonance caused by the operation of a large number of machines and the basic supply of the living area will not be ignored by the Orion who lives here all year round.They sometimes rely on this to determine whether they are in a hunting area.And now, even a gopher scuttled leisurely past them.

"Is it a shutdown?"

This time it was Shaoyang Bing who spoke out: "Impossible, the facilities here... are impossible to shut down."

With such a large area of ​​petri dishes for feeding experimental babies, the entire circulatory system depends on the rationing of the machine operation; once the work is stopped, the consequences can be imagined.

Hansen made a gesture, and the Orions spread out from both sides, holding climbing ropes in their hands, "Let's find out what's going on." The Orions have been wandering in the mountains of Yuncheng all year round, just like walking on the main road .

But Shaoyang Bing kept shaking his head, backed away, and shouted: "You don't understand at all. If the work here stops, it can only explain one reason... something must have happened to Yi Huazang. Maybe someone has invaded here."

"Who?"

"Who knows? Anyone is possible. He has so many opponents, and the entire southern region is under his control. He is the largest supplier here, and even inland! He has the possibility of holding our future. If he succeeds, he is the next savior."

They were discussing when they suddenly heard a dull blast coming from the mountainside.Everyone froze, showing expressions of disbelief.

"What are they doing?"

Shaoyang Bing suddenly screamed: "What do they want to do! If, if this place is blown up, it will collapse...they can't...can't—" He was a little out of breath; his escape was not without reason.

Ling Yanzhi recalled the heavy gate of the quadruple isolation zone that locked all secrets and the future when he visited here last time.Some people obviously don't want Yi Huazang to become the savior, or don't want Yi Huazang to become the savior one step earlier, and they have adopted the most primitive method.

It is obviously too late to go down the cliff now, but there are likely to be medical facilities that can save their lives.Ling Yanzhi remembered that the last time he took a cloud car down to the valley below.He took a breath, and looked at Hansen: "Since we sent a password message before, and the other party can reply, it means that there are people in it... and it should not be the same group as this wave of people who bombed the mountain. Otherwise, if they want to attract When we take the bait, we wait until we’re at least in the factory. The person who responds to our code is probably calling us for help.”

Hansen stared at him closely, the calmness of this OMEGA surprised him. "If you send the password again, go down to the bottom of the cliff from both sides to outflank, and contact the inside to see the specific situation;" Ling Yanzhi said, "I'll take the cloud car down from the front, and try to see if I can hold them back."

"...you... this is too dangerous!"

"The worst thing is to die in a different way," Ling Yanzhi shrugged, "just take two people and follow me, and see what's going on below, and who the opponent is... We can't let them blow up here, who will be killed like that?" can't survive."

"Okay," Hansen agreed bluntly, "Who do you want?"

Ling Yanzhi pointed to Maung Min, "He is familiar with mountain roads, so maybe he can come in handy."

At this time Shaoyang Bing spoke, he tremblingly said: "I...I know the code below. I will go with you."

Although he said so, Shaoyang Bing's face was pale, as if he was trying to suppress some kind of emotion, but this was the first thing he took the initiative to do in such a long time.Ling Yanzhi knew that many things may only be known to him; but he followed Ling Yanzhi silently, took out a badge from his pocket tremblingly, and pinned it on his chest again.

Ling Yanzhi glanced at it. It was an organization logo badge, with a strange square figure drawn, and the code name "Pandora" written underneath.

"Is it the code name of the research team here?" They walked into the fortress-like hall and walked through the sand table in the new cloud complex area; the lights on the sand table have been turned off, and only the link that marks the Tower of Babel in the sky of Cloud City remains. Glittering blue, like an umbilical cord in amniotic fluid.

Ling Yanzhi opened the seat belt of the cloud car, and asked about the badge in a non-trivial manner.

Shaoyang Bing shook the sharp edges and corners of the badge, and replied: "I... didn't lie. When we first came here, we were invited to participate in a joint academic exchange meeting in Asia. At that time, the research project No. 11 'Pandora ', very close to the idea you mentioned at the beginning... Do you still remember, Yanzhi, that paper you sent me in our university..."

The cloud car broke away from the restraint bars and pneumatic valves, the bearings made a squeaking sound, and the engine at the rear slammed, shaking violently like a tractor; then it rushed out at a speed that wished it could get off the track, and it was in the mountains. Speeding through the space, every turn seemed to throw him out, but unfortunately he failed.The night wind coming from the pavement seemed to travel through time and space, pulling his thoughts back to that year:

——At that time, he was the well-known QUEEN on campus, and he had as many admirers as crucian carp crossing the river.He has no scruples, and he doesn't care what other people say. He even wears high heels, puts on extremely bright lipstick, wears long hair, and wears heavy makeup to go to school.It was like a pair of armor, covering his true face and making him feel extremely safe.

Ling Yanzhi analyzed his mental state at that time.He knows that he is not a transvestite in the full sense. His cross-dressing is not because he likes it, but just for convenience.Although the number of people calling him BIAO has increased, there are also many people who are willing to kneel before him without dignity.This identity brings great convenience, one is that he can choose a sexual object at will, instead of being reduced to a state of being passive and waiting for selection, and the other is that it creates a powerful illusion for him, that is, he can manipulate these people Creatures with brains on sperm.No matter how good his grades and upbringing are, they often only look at his straight and slender legs in fishnet stockings and show the same stupid, dog-like expression, letting people see the essence of the goods under the packaging .And the third point is that he finally freed up his hands and space to focus on his studies and let those annoying competitors fight with each other and waste each other's time.If he doesn't want to be discovered by them and enjoy his time quietly, he only needs to remove his makeup and put on the most rustic hairstyle and clothes, and he will often walk past them without being noticed.He lives in two different identities with ease, and for the first time has the real sense of controlling his destiny.

At that time, they called him "Rouge" as a queen... It was like a nickname, even people from other schools had heard of it, and people often came to the school just to have a look at him.

Until one day, he ran into the same "deskmate" in the library for many consecutive days without makeup, and sometimes the "deskmate" would even help him to occupy a seat-he didn't realize that something was wrong. right.But if he was also a suitor, he didn't take advantage of the gaps in reading to peek over and over again, revealing those hormonal excess ** expressions; for more than ten days, they didn't even say a word, and he didn't try to I asked if I was "Rouge".

That deskmate just seemed to be competing with him, finishing one tome after another, completing stacks of projects and papers, and was as busy as him.By the end of the semester, they already knew each other's faces well, and even fetched water for each other, but they never asked each other's name.

But the more this happened, the more impatient Ling Yanzhi became; he knew the thoughts of all the men around him, but he couldn't figure out this one; what did he mean?Why didn't he respond to me, but it didn't seem like he came here to humiliate me?If he knows who I am, will he not want to sit next to me?

These problems tormented him, and on the contrary, Ling Yanzhi, who had almost become sick in the game, became more concerned about gains and losses than ever before.He couldn't read the book for the first time, the article was badly written, and the experimental data was a mess; he still went to the library to report on time every day, and even went to the "meetings" less.There was a backlog of topics in his hands, but he couldn't write a single word. He just stared at the person at the opposite table in a daze, watching him write and draw on the pad extremely smoothly and unconsciously, and folded the words on the holographic screen. Modeling, through the blue suspended particles, look at his hanging eyes that focus on solving problems.He even knew the mole on the side of his eyebrow; he realized belatedly that he was in a dark, menacing love affair.

Ling Yanzhi remembered that he couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to test the other party's understanding and attitude towards him.That day, he deliberately left the admission ticket and papers for tomorrow on the table, and turned his head to put on heavy makeup.When the other party hurriedly picked it up and chased it out of the library, he called his name in a hurry: "——Ling Yanzhi!" He turned his head deliberately, and his blood-colored lip glaze flicked, and a thick red line was drawn on the side of his mouth.

The man smiled, not surprised at all; he ran over and put the thesis and exam admission ticket into his palm.

"You forgot to bring it."

"You recognize me?"

"Ah, we read books together every day."

"Do you know who I am?"

"You are 'Rouge', such a beautiful person, there is no other in the whole school."

He raised a sharp eyebrow. "...Then you only study with me?"

"I like reading, but fortunately you like it too." He smiled and said a little awkwardly, "This is the only way I can get in touch with you."

"But you're not looking at me at all." At that time, the person who was as beautiful as an idol star and was full of stars everywhere, was a little aggrieved in front of such an ugly guy, "You were just reading a book."

The man laughed, "Do you have to use your eyes to see a person?" He said, "I read your paper..."

Ling Yanzhi blinked narrowly at him: "This one?"

On the contrary, the man turned red, feeling that he had spoken too much, and became embarrassed: "...I haven't read this one, after all, you just wrote it..."

Ling Yanzhi smiled: "Then I'll send you off, let's take a look!"

The person who moved his heart so much at that time is now sitting behind him, his face turned pale with fright from the high-speed dive of the cloud car, but he dare not reach out to hug him, and is holding the corner of his clothes like a fool; now think about it , I simply don't know what it means, looking at this person now, there are only three words to describe this person: "blind".How could I have thought that he was so handsome, chic, and different? What did I think of him? Would he know how to read?Why don't I just like a library and save a lot of trouble?

Still smiling at him, laughing so cheaply, there will be times when you will cry in the future!

Ling Yanzhi mocked the foolish and coquettish self in his memory, but he also remembered the paper that can now be called the dark history of his life.When continuing their "underground love affair" for a long time, Shaoyang Bing would deliberately emphasize that their love is different from other "male and female matches" who play on the spot and have noble attributes, just like some kind of reflection, so as to arouse his inner feelings. The inferiority complex, extravagant hope and longing for love - that is, they are "fixed love".

That nonsensical paper is actually worthless: when it comes to proving the pathogenic mechanism of Myers' disease and the research on the target protein, his experiments during that time have made no progress at all, and all the data curves are capricious , and his mind is only full of unrealistic romance, all these time wasted in the library, only to write such a worthless thing like a game; he originally planned to throw it away.

He proposed a "Trojan Horse Hypothesis".

Since we are unable to block or eliminate the Myers virus through various methods, or even significantly reduce its titer; then, can we implant a "trojan horse" in its flawless barrier to open the back door?

Myers virus has no rivals, so use the mutual inhibition between many viruses (such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C) to design a "defective virus" model.The defective virus must have an identical capsid and envelope to Myers virus, and the genome contains a gene encoding an antisense RNA against Myers virus mRNA and uses the same promoter as it to block Myers mRNA Translation, so that it goes directly to degradation; the defective virus will compete with Myers for the enzyme system and the synthesized capsid protein...

Eventually, Myers will be wiped out, and this "deficiency virus" will take over our bodies—at that point, we'll just have to treat the deficiency virus.At this time, because the "flaw" of the flawed virus is artificially designed, it is the Trojan horse we sent into the city... So, naturally, we can quickly block it by virtue of its "flaw".

...Of course, this is a complete fantasy.How can a "trojan horse" that can stand up to a powerful virus like Myers be created?Just like hepatitis B that can suppress hepatitis C, if you deliberately infect hepatitis B in order to cure hepatitis C, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the gain?

At that time, he must have been too happy and optimistic to come up with such a naive solution.After being hit by countless blows and realizing the reality, this idea was also buried along with the failed relationship that I didn't want to recall, and never surfaced again.

"Yanzhi, you are a genius." Shaoyang's icy voice came dimly from the night wind, "I swear, I didn't intend to steal it on purpose. I wanted to contact you at that time... But, at that time You are already an OMEGA, you can’t publish it... I... I just used this concept, the specific model is different... I didn’t want to really realize it, I just happened to be short of a paper at the time, You know, I have to compete for the title—”

Ling Yanzhi laughed angrily at him, "Anyway, I don't need to compete for titles, right? But it really doesn't matter. I don't have time to accompany you to recall the past, so it doesn't count. Are there not many signatures? Why did you suddenly mention—"

The cloud car stopped suddenly and hard, and they arrived.After the night wind and the piercing sound of the wheels stopped, a dull heat suddenly permeated; it was mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.Their car had just stopped, and before the front cover was opened, gunpoints surrounded them, and the glare of the flashlight formed a halo that made it impossible to open one's eyes.They were yelling something, in the local language instead of the common language, and Maung Min shouted back in the local language; the men beat the hood of the car with the butts of their guns.

Shaoyang Bing trembled in fright, tightly grasping the badge of Pandora; Ling Yanzhi suddenly understood.He grabbed Shaoyang Bing by the collar, "...Did you make it?"

"First, let's go out and talk about... those people outside..."

"Let's be clear first!!! What did you do?!"

"Don't be like this! It's not... I can't do it alone. I'm the team leader. There are so many people, everyone agrees... Rouge, this is what you proposed. It was originally proposed by you. That's right! ——'Defective Virus', that's the Trojan Horse that you want, that can knock Myers down—"

"How is it possible..." Ling Yanzhi let go of his hand in disbelief, "...Type II Myers virus... was artificially produced by you...?"
