I am the Rebirth System: The Heroine Transformation Plan

An He's feet seemed to be nailed there, unable to move.

An indescribable chill spread from the soles of her feet upwards, making her feel an inexplicable fear.

It's like you're watching a horror movie and the characters can suddenly see you.

Angelique stared at her like that for about four or five seconds, as if confirming something.

Then, she showed her moon-white teeth with a big smile on her face: "I knew... ahem, you would come to save us."

“May the light be with you.”

Suddenly, the monster attacks.

Angelique took her last breath and pulled the trigger.

The monster was hit by bullets but was not knocked down.

It roared, its tail flew up, and it shook the gun out of Angelique's hand.

The next second, Angelique's head was torn in half by the monster's claws.

"what……!!"

An He suddenly opened his eyes.

She felt completely exhausted.

I twisted my body and found that my clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Lingling, I had a dream..."

However, after a few seconds, no one responded to her.

"Bell?"

After struggling to get up, feeling her throat dry and sore, An He got out of bed to find some water to drink.

The scenes in the dream kept flashing in my mind.

Especially what Angelique said at the end while looking at herself.

【May the light be with you. 】

This sentence sounds familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

No, not just somewhere I've seen it, but in class, the instructor mentioned it when he was talking about the history before the end of the world.

This time An He did not activate the chip memory bank.

She found that her memory had become superb.

As long as you think about it in your mind, you can find the content at that time.

When their Taoist instructor, Instructor Jin, was talking about why there would be an apocalypse and what the human world would be like before the apocalypse, a student raised her hand and asked:

"Instructor Jin, you said the zombie virus was artificially created and spread, but why did Instructor Zhang say it was caused by prions?"

Instructor Zhang is the children’s biology instructor.

Instructor Jin is a middle-aged man in his forties with thinning hair.

He narrowed his eyes and asked the student, "Do you know the infection mechanism of prions?"

"Yes, it is usually caused by cannibalism. Prions are more likely to invade the body of the same species and induce the prion protein of the same species to become prions."

"Prion" is the old name for "protein".

Prions are not actually viruses. They are the only known infectious organisms that do not contain nucleic acids and are subviral factors.

It does not need to be transmitted through genetic materials such as DNA or RNA, but is directly replicated and transmitted through conformational changes in the protein itself.

Not only can it not be broken down by various proteases in cells, but it is also extremely resistant to high temperatures.

Even if it is slow-cooked in a pressure cooker for 4 hours, continuously exposed to short-wave ultraviolet rays, or soaked in formalin, it cannot be inactivated.

So of course the animal's digestive system won't destroy them.

Moreover, prions prefer prion proteins in the brain. Once invaded, the mortality rate is as high as 100%.

But the incubation period of this thing is very long, and it can last for 5 to 10 years.

But even if the incubation period is long, quantitative changes can always lead to qualitative changes.

Once a certain amount accumulates in the body of an infected person, its incubation period will be shortened, leading to an eventual outbreak.

For example, the outbreak of kuru was caused by the fact that some tribes in Babu would eat the corpses of their own people at funerals.

The outbreak of mad cow disease was caused by the use of cow offal as a protein feed additive in the UK.

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob encephalopathy is caused by eating large amounts of beef from cows infected with mad cow disease.

As of the end of the Blue Planet, only 228 cases of this type were found, of which 176 were from Britain.

The survival period of this type of disease does not exceed one year.

Of course, after the apocalypse, the population of the entire Blue Planet dropped by four-fifths, and these patients are no longer alive.

Instead, it was replaced by the Z virus, which directly turns humans into zombies.

Instructor Jin continued, "What Instructor Zhang said is not wrong. We can only say that this whole incident is very [coincidental]. This student just mentioned that the incubation period of prions is very long and they are extremely resistant to high temperatures, but why did the Z virus break out so quickly and so violently? We can just review the knowledge points we just learned. When the Z virus was traced back to its origin by the alliance of the five major powers in later generations, where did it break out and what was the reason? Which student can answer this question?"

Instructor Jin's eyes swept across the students' faces with a smile.

These children are outstanding talents selected by the country through a rigorous genetic screening program.

They are the hope for the future of China and even the entire Blue Planet.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cute little girl with two pigtails raised her hand and answered:

"Instructor, I know! It was originally caused by 43 experimental monkeys that escaped from a laboratory in South Carolina, USA!"

An He raised her hand and answered timidly: "Although Country M took prompt measures and captured 35 monkeys, 28 still escaped."

A thin boy wearing black-framed glasses also raised his hand: "Although we don't know the infection trajectory of these monkeys, the virus eventually broke out among tourists traveling to the country of bears."

The Russian Bear Country was also very aggressive. It immediately closed all channels open to the outside world and isolated all infected patients.

Despite this, it failed to stop the global outbreak of the Z virus.

Scientists in the post-apocalyptic era extracted information about the original prion from the Z virus.

Moreover, the Z virus combines multiple highly lethal viruses, even unknown viruses.

Some scientists suspect that this unknown virus came from the polar regions after the icebergs melted and is a virus that was frozen in ancient times.

Instructor Jin was very satisfied with the children's various answers.

He nodded and looked at the ruddy-faced and energetic children: "Do you know why you were chosen by the country to sit here?"

"It's because this planet is already in ruins and can no longer be inhabited by humans. Our scientists have predicted that in a hundred years, the soil will no longer be able to grow food, and the stored water will be exhausted, unable to meet the needs of the survivors in the underground city. We... need to find a new home. And you will be participants in the [Pangu Project], carrying the hope of mankind to open up new territories in the interstellar space."

"So, as pioneers of our new home, you must understand our history so that you can better learn from the lessons of our predecessors. This is called learning from history. This is also the reason why the country has set up Taoism classes for you. Children, you must always be vigilant against all anti-human behavior and forces. What can save mankind is not only science, but also a keen mind. Next, I want to tell you about the evil cult organization [Eye of Light]..."
