human journey

Chapter 276 Clues

This storage tank is specially developed by their company to carry biological samples, like a small refrigerator, powered by graphene batteries, durable and very reliable.

Everyone was startled when they saw this container and instinctively hid back, but they immediately realized that the virus would not spread through the air, and the storage tank was very well sealed.

"Great, then let's arrange a special person to study it immediately, and try to transform it as soon as possible!"

"This matter must be kept secret. If it is exposed, we will all be doomed!"

"That's right, everyone here, including those researchers, must be supervised by the company from now on to prevent traitors from appearing!"

"All other research projects of the company are suspended, and all resources must be spent on this matter!"

. . . . . .

These high-level people were discussing with each other. They were all experienced and knew how to operate this matter. They quickly formulated a practical plan, and the research on the zombie virus began immediately.

The monster smiled and watched these humans fall into its trap excitedly, feeling very happy. This feeling of manipulating everything behind the scenes is really wonderful.

It said that it is possible to transform the zombie virus so that the infected will not lose their minds and can coexist harmoniously with humans, but it will not develop in this direction if it interferes with it.

It needs to transform the virus so that it can spread through the air, and can survive for a long time even without being attached to the living body outside. It also needs a long incubation period, so that large-scale infection has already occurred before the zombies appear.

At that time, coupled with its deliberate dissemination, it can be guaranteed that when zombies appear, most people in the world will be infected, and there is no way to recover and save them. Then the plan to destroy human civilization will be considered a success.

A few days later, the rich woman was wearing full-body protective clothing and was screening the genes of the zombie virus with the researchers in the world's top laboratory with strict prevention and control. She has been doing this for the past few days and is nearing completion.Only by thoroughly understanding its genetic makeup and what are the genes hidden in the gene pool can it be possible to modify it.

Most of the genes expressed in the zombie virus were similar to the mutant rabies virus they had stolen before, and a small part were genes that had never been seen before.The researchers wondered who had such a powerful ability to genetically modify a virus that was not very powerful in such a short period of time.

Only national-level research institutes should have such capabilities. Could it be that this zombie crisis was deliberately caused by a certain country or super organization?Then what is their purpose, to seriously damage the economy and status of country M?
Ordinary people don't know about the Soul Eater, the Mother, and the Destroyer. Only the awakened who have been recruited by various countries know the specific situation, so many people will consider this matter in the form of conspiracy theories.

And knowing that this zombie crisis was caused by the Wisdom Destroyer is even less, so most people think that the zombie crisis is a simple infectious disease, but this virus is too special and powerful.

Originally, the researchers were very puzzled that the rich woman also participated in the research. In their perception, the rich woman was just an excellent manager, and they had never heard of her achievements in biotechnology.

If you want to monitor their work, there is no need to come in person, just install more monitors, or send other people in, why bother to monitor them yourself.

Doing virus research is also risky. If the zombie virus leaks and happens to infect her, given the current situation, she will definitely die.

But the performance of the rich woman in the past few days surprised the researchers. Not only did she not blindly interfere with their experiments, but she provided many new ideas and methods of operation, which benefited the researchers a lot.

Researchers all feel that the rich woman has hidden secrets, and her research on viruses and genes is among the best in the world. With such a reserve of knowledge and advanced theories, it has never been revealed. Being a manager is really humiliating.

Those high-level officials didn't expect the rich woman to have such strength. No wonder she is confident that she can transform the zombie virus. It turns out that she is a top expert in this field.

At this point, the monster is busy researching the virus, while other high-level officials are responsible for covering up the matter, preventing anyone from the outside world from discovering it, and mobilizing all resources for the rich woman to use, including the "volunteers" needed for human experiments.

They first infected volunteers with the original zombie virus, carefully studied the physical changes of the zombies, and found that their abilities in all aspects were greatly improved.

And it seems to break some kind of boundary, which allows an incredible degree of cellular vitality, which is also the basis of enhanced performance.

Even the telomeres that protect chromosomes can be repaired, so even if zombies have a fast metabolism, their lifespan will not be shortened. This also indirectly proves that zombie viruses do have the function of extending lifespan.

Within a few days, the first variant of the zombie virus was created. It not only retained various favorable factors, but also allowed the infected to retain a certain amount of wisdom, and they were no longer just monsters who knew how to kill.

But wisdom is limited, and it seems that only some subconsciousness in life has been retained. It is still strongly aggressive towards humans, but it is much better than the original aggressive behavior regardless of itself. It becomes like a hungry carnivore hunting, knowing how to lurk and master the attack. opportunity.

This shows that the transformation is in the right direction, as long as the infected person's sanity continues to increase, and finally reach the point where sanity is not affected, it will be successful.

The transformation this time was also intentional by the monster. The previous zombie virus simply blocked the brains of the infected person, but did not use them, so the zombies had no brains.This time is different. The zombies created by the new virus can use some brain functions, and can also seal the soul, and the combat power they can display is much stronger than before.

The modulation of this mutant zombie virus gene can be said to be completed so quickly by the monster using various advanced instruments to accurately extract and modify it alone in the complex gene pool of the virus, without repeated experiments to select the best.

The researchers who worked together were stunned. They had never heard of such a transformation efficiency. They felt that the rich woman was unfathomable, and began to worship her from the bottom of their hearts.

In the days that followed, the monsters began to continuously improve and recombine the genes of the mutant viruses, creating various versions, including those that can be transmitted through droplets and have a long incubation period, but to integrate them, a large number of experiment of.

The researchers also knew about these variants. They saw the rich woman using it for human experiments, but they all thought it was a failure. The rich woman also destroyed it completely in front of them. Of course, it secretly kept the virus sample in her body , as a reference for further experiments.

At this time, the King Kong team, who had been investigating fruitlessly in N City and surrounding cities, decided to return to China. They are the strongest combat power of the awakened people in Z country. It is no longer in this area, and it is futile to stay here and continue searching.

When King Kong was about to leave by plane, John and Charlie came to see them off. They were comrades in arms through thick and thin. After saying goodbye, everyone in the King Kong team boarded the plane.

But at this moment, John received a strange call. After he answered it, it turned out that Tom's parents called him.

It turns out that there have been a lot of homeless and solitary disappearances in City X recently, and the local media even issued a message asking people not to go out late at night, and try not to live alone.

After their son Tom came back from N city, although he didn't change much and was still the same as before, his time at home became very short.

When asked what he was doing, he only said that he went to an Internet cafe to play games, but they also had a computer and an Internet connection at home, and they didn’t care about it at the beginning. attention.

But when Tom's father also played games one day, he found through the login time of friends on his son's most commonly used gaming platform that Tom had not logged in for a long time.

Reminiscent of the recent disappearance, Tom's parents worried that this incident was related to their son, and they were afraid that their son would be involved in something dangerous again.

They did not dare to call the police, for fear that they would startle the snake and put their son in a disadvantageous situation.They remembered that when their son came back, John called to ask if Tom had arrived home safely. From his son's mouth, they knew that this was a powerful awakened person, and he was also a policeman, and he and other awakened persons saved Tom.

They took Tom's phone and expressed their heartfelt thanks to John. Tom's father kept an eye out and remembered the calling number on the phone at that time, and planned to call and ask for help if he encountered any unsolvable problems in the future. This mighty Awakened One helps.

After all, there are not many opportunities to get to know the awakened ones. Tom's father, who is quite successful in business, naturally won't miss this opportunity. He is also afraid that his son will cause trouble to others, so he doesn't give him the number, so he remembers it by himself.

It only took a few days for it to really work. They also wanted to ask Tom directly what happened, but they were afraid that there would be accidents. After all, this is a world with magical awakeners.

They also felt that the disappearance was most likely caused by the Awakened, so it was the best choice to find the Awakened to investigate and resolve the matter. Besides, John knew Tom and was a very responsible policeman.

John was also very surprised after hearing the description from Tom’s parents. It’s not unusual for X to disappear. This kind of thing happens all over the world. He thinks it’s the Soul Eater who did it, but the Soul Eater in City X doesn’t know why. It suddenly became rampant, maybe it was affected by the things in N City.

But how could this matter have anything to do with Tom? He is just an ordinary person, and he hasn't really disappeared, but his whereabouts are just weird. Based on his understanding of Tom, he shouldn't make any troubles. What happened? What's going on?
