wild animal planet

In the third world war, more than 90 billion of the 20 billion people on the earth died directly in the war.

In the later period of the war, the team of scientists who studied the cause of "serpentine disease" finally found the source of the disease through in-depth exploration, and confirmed that it was due to the Ubh (126) element released into the earth's environment that caused the abnormal mutation of human chromosomes. Simply put , 'serpentine disease' is a genetic disease.

Scientists who study this disease finally give out the number of people who suffer from it, which makes the whole world feel desperate.On the territory of the earth affected by the flames of war, more than 90% of human beings have been directly or indirectly attacked by this deadly element through air, water, food, etc.Moreover, the chromosomal aberration caused by Ubh (126) has been engraved in the human gene, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.

Although the war is over, the tragedy is far from over.

As scientists predicted, a large number of humans began to die.20 million, [-] million, [-] billion, [-] billion... Only a very small number of people benefited from this mutation, and they began to evolve and became what people later called 'new humans'.

This largest-scale racial catastrophe in human history lasted until 2100, 20 years after the end of World War III.At that time, a total of 40 billion Earth's population had died due to 'serpentine disease'.By day and night studying the DNA of the 'new human', the team of scientists trying to overcome the 'serpentine disease' finally developed a gene agent against the snake disease for the first time in that year to suppress the onset of this deadly disease.

In today's world, all ordinary human babies are required to be injected with this preventive drug as soon as they are born, and must be injected again every three to five years thereafter.This looks similar to the situation in which new human babies are given inhibitors from birth, but it is completely different.

Perfectly adapting to the changes caused by Ubh (126), the new human beings have become stronger in all aspects such as intelligence and physique. Relevant studies have also confirmed that whether it is plague bacteria, Ebola virus, smallpox virus or rod-shaped anthrax bacteria, Many of the bacteria and viruses on the planet that are deadly to ordinary people cannot affect them much.

Even the Pangu virus, which everyone is talking about now, is the same.

After the virus began to spread in the outside world, there was information one after another showing that the new humans were not affected by it, but this information did not attract much attention.After all, the strong vitality of the new humans has refreshed people's cognitive limits time and time again, and most people have the idea that this is indeed the case for these feedbacks.

In the past many years, it is not that no one has tried to crack the secret of the new human gene to replicate this miracle in the history of life evolution, but the results are not satisfactory.

But at this moment, because Shi Lei and Tan Xiaoqing were exposed to the environment where the virus was active for a long time in the process of fighting those infected mutated creatures, Shi Lei was injured because of this, Xu Jiao took blood samples from the two just in case .Her unintentional move turned the stalemate in the progress of virus research.

Hastily brought the blood test reports of Shi Lei and Tan Xiaoqing to the laboratory, Dr. Wang Hai and Xu Jiao led their teams, and after a series of comparative sequencing, the final result was the report in their hands.

"Look at these, and these!"

Dr. Wang Hai's tone was unusually excited. He pointed to several sets of values ​​on the electronic paper report, two of which were the gene sequencing results of Tan Xiaoqing and Shi Lei, and one was the Pangu virus.Comparing the two phases, on some specific DNA fragments, part of the values ​​showed striking similarities.

Glancing at Xu Jiao and his assistants beside him, Dr. Wang said quickly: "These more than ten genes of the virus have been locked into a 'supergene', and they will be inherited as a whole! No wonder it It will be so stable, as a virulent virus, Pangu should have extremely strong variability, so it turns out that someone artificially rewrote the genetic structure of the virus.”

Not only that, once the virus 'supergene' that was locked by integration was disassembled, some details that Dr. Wang and Xu Jiao hadn't noticed before also surfaced——

Past research and gene sequencing have shown that in the chromosomal DNA of new humans, there are a total of about 19 genes that are closely related to their special abilities. It is these genes that make new humans different from ordinary people in terms of strength, speed, intelligence, etc. Advantage.And the current Pangu virus is like a hodgepodge, reintegrating all these new human mutant genes together.

"The person who created the Pangu virus cut off most of the original DNA fragments of the virus, and replaced it with the supergene of this new human. I'm sure that the other party wanted to use the virus' super powerful Infectious and self-replicating properties, entering the human body to completely transform the genome of ordinary humans. Really, really... a risky move like a madman!"

Dr. Wang Hai kept saying 'crazy, crazy'. The idea he mentioned was proposed many years ago.

However, due to the existence of many uncertainties, the genetic modification project that will raise mankind to a higher level as a whole and bring mankind into a new era in advance is full of unpredictable and huge risks.The level of complexity is not just changing the color of the hair and eyeballs, or reprocessing the nose to make it more straight.

How could Dr. Wang have imagined that someone had actually put into practice the theory with uncertain consequences!

"This terrible thing, it should be sealed up, it's better to be buried in the ground forever...!"

Dr. Wang was panting. He remembered that when he invited them to join the virus vaccine research project, Director Ye Zhou mentioned that many years ago, the research on the virus had been stopped, and all relevant materials had been destroyed. Who made the decision, but at this moment, Wang Hai absolutely agrees with it.

I just don’t know why, but the Nanjixing Research Institute under Jiutian Technology still retains the original strain of the virus.If this dangerous and deadly strain had been wiped out early, how could it have come to where it is today?The insatiable greed and arrogance of human beings have created such a disaster today!

"Dr. Wang, now is not the time to be angry, there are still many things waiting for us to do." Xu Jiao's voice came through the microphone of the protective suit, "Since the DNA of the virus has been added with human genes, can we go further? rewrite it?"

Dr. Wang Hai managed to calm down after hearing Xu Jiao's speech. While thinking, he replied, "This is theoretically possible, but once the stability of the virus is broken, it may mutate immediately."

This is simply worse than the situation today, because people can't predict what the virus will eventually mutate into.

In the virus laboratory, after a period of research, Xu Jiao and others, who had finally made a breakthrough, fell into another round of silence when they heard Dr. Wang Hai's words.

……

On the other side, due to the attack on the bridge, the little Ling Lu followed the flow of people back to the base.As the alarm was lifted, he was about to go back to the D-4 ward to wait for Tan Xiaoqing, but before he took two steps, someone covered his mouth and carried him to a corner like a potato.

"Hush, don't make a sound." Ji Letian, the culprit, winked at him.

"Uncle Ji..." Seeing that he knew someone, the little guy blinked in shock.Immediately afterwards, Ling Lu found that Uncle Ji who had been sitting in a wheelchair suddenly became taller.

Seeing him startled, Ji Letian laughed, and tapped his mechanical prosthesis with his knuckles, making a knocking sound, and a group of ripples appeared on the surface of the bionic skin, which could almost be faked, before explaining to Ling Lu :"Fake."

Stretching out a finger, Ling Lu poked Ji Letian's prosthetic limb curiously. He acted harmlessly towards the little guy. The bearded Ji Letian smiled, and let him poke it without a bit of mind.

"Little Lu, why did you run out? Uncle Ji was looking for you just now." Rubbing Ling Lu's curly head vigorously, Ji Letian asked, looking around nervously.Finally, his eyes returned to Linglu who was carrying a panda backpack and holding a dusty iron lump in his arms.Picking up the little guy who doesn't weigh much, Ji Letian continued to walk forward.

"Sister Xiaoqing said that there are bad people in the base, and she asked me to hide." Ling Lu is an honest boy, and when Ji Letian asked, he told Tan Xiaoqing all the instructions before.Although Tan Xiaoqing told him not to trust anyone, judging from the soft light around Ji Letian's body, Ling Lu was very sure that he had no malicious intentions.

"Uncle Ji, where are we going?" Ling Lu was quietly held in Ji Letian's arms, and he didn't ask until he saw that they didn't seem to be returning to the ward.

"Well, that... Uncle Ji will take you to a safer place." Ji Letian hesitated, no matter how thoughtless he was, he couldn't tell Ling Lu that there was a fake doctor who wanted to catch you and was locked in the ward, right? .

Walking faster and faster in the long corridor, turning a corner, Ji Letian didn't stop the car and almost collided with the oncoming Tan Xiaoqing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Hey, why is it you...!" Ji Letian said "you" in the middle, and Tan Xiaoqing, who was only as tall as his chest, suddenly slapped his ears with lightning speed He snatched Ling Lu from Ji Letian's hand, and then kicked Ji Letian, who was almost twice as big as her, flying away.

"Sister Xiaoqing?!" Ling Lu was stunned, even the second generation of Ah Yuan, who was held in his arms, flew out of Ling Lu's hand because of this sudden scene.

But Tan Xiaoqing just smiled on her round face, she squeezed Ling Lu's face, and said in a calm tone: "Xiaolu, we meet again."

Only then did Ling Lu realize something was wrong.

The eyes of this 'Tan Xiaoqing' were cold, and there was a certain aura around her body that made Linglu uneasy.Struggling to get off the ground, 'Tan Xiaoqing''s arm was as strong as a steel bar. Ling Lu was terrified. The little guy turned his head and flew several meters away from being kicked, then hit the wall again, and finally slipped and fell to the ground. Ji Letian shouted: "Uncle Ji! Uncle Ji!"

Ji Letian, who had lowered his head and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, seemed to have heard Ling Lu's panicked call. He coughed twice, wiped off the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and then supported the wall with one hand, and stood up staggeringly. .

"The No. [-] intelligence dealer in Chang'an City, the think tank of the resistance army, ahem...!" Raising his eyes, he looked at 'Tan Xiaoqing' who was staring at him indifferently. Ji Letian grinned, coughing and laughing, " I've been chasing you for so long, and you finally showed up, Tan Wendao—"
