16 years

Samples of mutants are recovered quickly.

In the last days, all activities must give way to virus research.Liu Ruosong said that he wanted the mutated product to be tested. Six hours later, the two zombies were sent to the virus research room of the C Department Military Region.

The research equipment and laboratory reagents of the Military Region of the C Department are not as good as those in Yancheng, so Liu Ruosong can only do basic laboratory tests.

He found that the nature of life of these zombies brought out from the "cultivation area" was different from those outside.Their body functions have stagnated, their bodies have rotted, and most of the cells they depend on for survival have died, but the brain nerves are still slightly active, which cannot be completely counted in the category of brain death.

In other words, they are still "human" from a physiological point of view.

Ignorant monsters are completely different from those who have suffered so much. Liu Ruosong felt physically and mentally exhausted facing the several research results in front of him.

He will never be able to understand Joe Eden's brain circuit. He can't understand what a lofty ideal it is to find the "correct and complete self", which is worth dragging the entire human being to be buried with him.

Oh, maybe it's not called burial, Liu Ruosong thought coldly, maybe in Joe Eden's eyes, it's called evolution.

Three days later, the vanguard team that Feng Lei and the others were chasing finally turned back. They walked through more than half of the neighboring countries, and almost chased them to the capital of the neighboring country. information return.

"But judging from the route, he may not be sure that he really walked through the Bering Strait." Feng Lei said: "Crossing through the Asian continent, he can go directly back to his hometown."

"It's really good enough to run." He Tang gritted his teeth with hatred: "I don't know how many wheels grow under my feet - if only there was an airplane."

Liu Ruosong couldn't help but glanced at her.

Indeed, Liu Ruosong thought, if Major He was given a plane, maybe she couldn't help but blast Joe Eden into a puff of smoke.

Life is hard in the last days, and it would be reckless to put them on the ground and drive off-road vehicles.

Feng Lei and the others failed to catch up with Joe Eden, so they had to find a way elsewhere.While Liu Ruosong was dealing with those mutated zombies, Fu Yan went to the temporary detention center and interrogated the captured researchers one by one.

When they entered the research institute, Joe Eden hurriedly evacuated. The researchers in the research institute failed to get into the car with them. Most of them ran out in a panic and were bitten by zombies in the wild. In the research institute, he was packed and taken prisoner back to Feng Lei.

Like Joe Eden’s stamp collection, he doesn’t know where to collect the researchers. Not to mention the different races, the age difference can be as high as 45 years old, and each speaks a rather individual accent. At first glance, there are at least six languages.

Although Fu Yan and the others are proficient in foreign languages, they are still a little bit afraid of some unpopular languages. As a last resort, they even temporarily borrowed a chief of staff who can translate from the C Department military region.

This interrogation lasted nearly twenty hours, but there were very few gains.

According to them, they have been in charge of research related to "Eve" since they were "hired".All their areas of knowledge are in the one-acre three-point area of ​​the laboratory building, revolving around Irene.

And in their cognition, since seeing Irene, she has almost been like this.So about Eden One, they only know the general idea in a vague way, but they don't know the specifics.

"However, if you ask me anything else, I can tell you." A researcher who looked to be in his thirties held his head in his hands and said in broken A country dialect: "About the silver fish, and the gene of 'Eve' Coding, or if you want to know something else, I can say that too."

Fu Yan didn't care about these things. Liu Ruosong naturally asked about these professional questions later. He just wanted to know where Joe Eden was going.

It's a pity that I don't know whether this group of people are loyal to Joe Eden, or Joe Eden is suspicious and cautious, but none of these people know where Joe Eden's headquarters is.

"Researchers will come to ask you about these things later." Fu Yan said, "Those who want to make a contribution to a crime should first think about what they want to explain."

"Wait, wait." Seeing that Fu Yan got up to leave, the researcher quickly stopped him.

It can be seen that their internal relationship is not very close. Everyone has their own thoughts and wants to gain as much trust as possible in a short period of time, so that they can live a little easier in the "enemy" camp.

Therefore, in this case, whoever "accounts" first, and whether the information given is precious and practical information, seems to be extremely important.

Fu Yan could tell that there were already people wanting to seize this "opportunity", and the young man in front of him was one of them.

Fu Yan stopped and asked lightly, "What else?"

"I'm not in the core research team." The young researcher stuttered with a little sweat on his nose, "But I'm mainly in charge of the cultivation team, and I know everything about them—they, they transform The medicine for it can be taken from Eve."

Fu Yan was keenly aware of the words in it, and looked at He Feng indiscriminately, then turned his head and asked, "Reform medicine?"

"Yes... yes, those mutants were bred with the improved medicine extracted from Eve." The researcher said, "It's just that they are all failures, and the boss hasn't got any successful cases yet."

"What counts as a successful product?" Fu Yan asked.

"The successful product is—" the researcher thought for a while, as if he was pondering what to say, he thought hard for a while, and couldn't help saying and making gestures: "It still looks like a human, but the dead cells in the human body can be replaced by viruses , in the case of ensuring the reproduction of organisms, the human body structure is modified in the way of genetic code, and the genetic level is constructed."

This sounds too awkward, and it is mixed with a lot of academic words, which makes laymen have a headache just by sounding it.

Fu Yan and He Feng frowned at the same time, the researcher was agitated and tried to explain quickly.

"It's like insects in nature—or something, race, etc." He spoke incoherently, and couldn't help but add two sentences in his native language: "For example, ants, the queen is the ant race. core, other worker ants will naturally work around it, which is a biological habit engraved in their genetic code."

"So you mean, Joe Eden wants to transform people into this model?" Fu Yan said: "Find a supreme 'queen', and then transform other people into worker ants or 'reproduction' as appropriate." ?”

Although this statement is not very accurate, it probably means the same thing, so the researcher nodded and agreed.

"But this is only a very idealized situation." The researcher said: "And the boss wants to prune the branches of this race according to his wishes, not to completely copy the mechanical and brainless biological model."

The word pruning is too ruthless, He Feng thought.

But saying that, it's closing the last link.

Joe Eden wants to be a god, and of course he also wants to create "believers" who believe in him. The "worker ants" who have been successfully genetically encoded should be a good choice.

Fu Yan didn't know how much the person in front of him said was true and false, how much gold was in it, and how much subjective assumptions were mixed in what he said, but judging from his shallow understanding of Joe Eden, he felt that the other party did such a thing. This kind of thing is not unusual.

After thinking about it, he called Liu Ruosong in front of the researcher.

Liu Ruosong is in the laboratory building two kilometers away. In addition to testing the existing samples, the people from the C Department Military District also intend to ask him to bring his own experimenters, so Liu Ruosong has been very busy these two days. .

Fu Yan's communication rang for the second time before someone answered it.

"Brother?" Liu Ruosong said, "Are you looking for me?"

"I found something here." Fu Yan talked about what happened just now, and finally said: "If you are free, you can come over."

Liu Ruosong was silent on the phone for a while, and said, "It's just right, I also have a new discovery here."

As he said that, he took two steps to the side, away from the crowd, and walked to the deserted corridor, and then continued: "I found that I had a misunderstanding—Eden One, there may be more than one medicine."

"Or it's not rigorous." Liu Ruosong said: "I mean, there may be Eden No. [-], No. [-], etc., but they are all secondary derivatives of No. [-]."

"Like the difference between a petri dish and a zombie?" Fu Yan asked.

"Yes." Liu Ruosong said, "You can say that."

Ever since Fu Yan found Yueyue outside, Liu Ruosong had been thinking about why Fu Yan, Lu Li and Yueyue's physiques were so different.At first, he thought that the difference in medicine was caused by gender constitution, but now that he thought about it, it might be because they were not injecting the same medicine at all.

Joe Eden's research has been going on for so many years, it is impossible to study just one thing.

Both Liu Ruosong and Fu Yan had doubts before. Irene is Joe Eden's younger sister, and her status in his heart is equal to "the other self in the world". experiment.

She should be the "finished product" of Joe Eden, not a candidate that might fail.

And from the timeline, Irene's appearance as a petri dish should be very early. As early as five or six years before the end of the world, she had already achieved the goal of a "petri dish" and successfully transformed R-01, making this kind of Viruses survive in humans.

So in this case, Joe Eden is still experimenting with transformation agents, which is very strange in itself.

Liu Ruosong even thought about whether it was because Irene was a defective product, so Joe Aiden couldn't bear this defect, so he continued to look for "successful products".

They had been puzzled by this conflicting logic before, and only now opened another way of thinking.

Regarding Eden One, they may have been misled by Shao Xuefan's preconceived concept of "semi-finished products" - Shao Xuefan is not in this research group, so he does not know the follow-up research situation, and what he knows is limited to Joe Eden's early research Part of Eden One.

That's why he said that in order to "train Irene", Joe Eden spent a lot of manpower and material resources.Because in his perception, even if Irene is a "semi-finished product", she is also the end of Joe Eden's journey on this road.

All the rest spread out around this end point.

She, the child who died young, or Joe Eden himself, was the "Queen of the Ant."
