The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The built-in spray head in the culture room released bursts of atomized liquid, and the butterfly-like creatures living on the branches absorbed the high concentration of paralyzing agent. The trembling butterfly wings slowly fell, the compound eyes darkened, and the head leaned against the branch.

The highly enclosed door was opened from the outside. Du Yansheng, wearing a safety suit and a hood, stepped into 049's living environment, took out a cotton swab and a test tube, and carefully collected 049's physical information.

Outside the glass wall, Kobayashi was holding a scanning device, keeping a close eye on 049's vital signs to prevent him from breaking through the paralysis effect and waking up.

The sampling process was very short. Xiao Lin watched with great concentration as Du Yansheng quickly collected everything and evacuated the culture room intact. He took off the protective layer and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 049 did not show any aggressive tendencies most of the time, its size and other characteristics were much smaller than those of ordinary experimental subjects, so the threat to them was not obvious, but there was no guarantee that accidents would not happen.

Sometimes, these experimental subjects are even better at disguising and showing weakness than humans, so they cannot be taken lightly.

"Doctor, I'm going to turn off the scanner." After making sure that the door of the culture room was locked and Du Yansheng had completed the protection and disinfection work, Xiao Lin raised the instrument and button in his hand and asked.

"Shut it down. You stay here and calculate the effect of the five-fold potion on 049 and the duration of paralysis. I need to go to the research center."

After throwing the protective suit into the high-pressure steamer, Du Yansheng took the sample, put on his coat and went to the negative seventh floor.

The seventh floor is equipped with a large microscope and analysis equipment. There is only one in the base, which is very precious. Generally, the analysis of the experimental body is sent to the small machine last time. Small equipment saves electricity and takes up less space, but the speed of generating results is much slower than that.

Du Yansheng was eager to get the results of 049's physical data after the transformation compared with before. Three or four working days were too long for him, so he simply unlocked the iris and went to the seventh level.

The large equipment was running at high speed, and the analysis of various data was carried out simultaneously. At the same time, Du Yansheng observed the situation of 049 cells under the microscope.

The cells fission and recombination were very fast, a speed he had only seen in virus cells.

But considering that the founder probably used the virus as a model for creating the matrix, this change in speed is reasonable.

However, compared to 049, 033, 032, which were also experiments with crested ibis tissue, and the remains of the dead experiments that were transported back did not show a fission and differentiation pattern that was so similar to that of the virus.

For example, the zombies surging outside are active without thinking because they are controlled by the virus cells in their bodies. There are also experimental subjects like 033 who have better fused with the virus. They have absorbed some of the toxins and suppressed some of the toxins. Only a small part of the virus exists in their bodies, and there is a clear differentiation from the cells of the main body.

But obviously, 049 is different. The cells all over its body are constantly dividing, changing and reorganizing.

Chaos and disorder, the things that gave them headaches when cracking the virus mutation, also appeared on 049.

Du Yansheng carefully recalled his mentor's words and notes when he was analyzing the virus, and recalled that his mentor once said that the difficulty in making an antidote was that they could not use the antidote made from the virus data analyzed in the previous second to deal with the virus that had fissioned in the next second.

Before they detected the disordered fission of the virus, they had taken many detours.

Several generations of viruses have been developed, but without exception, there was an inhibitory effect at the beginning, but within half a day, the antidote was broken by the iterative virus hidden in the body of the infected person.

Later, they stopped focusing on difficult problems and began to focus their research on human response and defense. They produced several generations of recovery potions for people with special abilities and physical enhancers for ordinary soldiers, which expanded the living space for humans to a certain extent.

However, until his death, the mentor was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

'Ding! '

The equipment finished running, and the prompt sound brought Du Yansheng's thoughts back to reality. He moved closer to the display screen, looking at the long string of English characters and numbers on the green screen, his pupils gradually lit up.

In 049's cells, Du Yansheng did not find any virus-like toxicity or destructive factors. In other words, these toxins were completely absorbed. 049 was not invaded or dominated by the virus. It was like a zombie, with only blood, flesh and destruction in its mind.

However, the obviously active and beating cells and the almost maximum values ​​told Du Yansheng that 049 was not as harmless as it appeared.

Perhaps the other party has been hiding his abilities. Of course, this is also the survival mode that most experimental subjects are accustomed to.

However, putting aside the threat posed by 049, Du Yansheng suddenly had an idea for developing an antidote.

If we say that 049 inherited the characteristics of the virus from the mother body, and separated out the bad parts of the virus, only the things that are beneficial to it are left.

So, as long as they find the factor in 049's body that can eliminate or separate the viral toxins, they can enable those infected people to absorb its essence and achieve continuous development of their bodies, just like 049's transformation?

Inspiration only takes a moment. Du Yansheng immediately created a document on the computer, recorded the data of 049 and his own ideas and principles, and hurriedly retrieved available information and reference data for feasibility assessment.

Compared to Du Yansheng's busyness, You Mu's side is much more relaxed.

I stayed in the research institute for several days in a row. Except for walking around the institute with the base director the day after I arrived, I didn't go out.

Wu Hua said that the weather was good today and the sun was out for a rare time. You Mu sat in front of the computer, holding his glasses, thought about it, and decided to go out for a walk.

However, although the institute was safe, it was not convenient to enter and exit. Yu Yue reported this to the dean, and soon four soldiers in combat uniforms followed.

Although it was a big scene, it was all for safety reasons. After all, the people in the base were scared by the zombie attacks, so it was always good to have more people to protect them.

You Mu appreciated the offer and accepted it gladly, and also pulled along Wu Hua who obviously wanted to follow.

When the elevator passed the third floor, it paused slightly, the alloy door opened for a moment, and then closed according to the program.

"Oh, sorry, I pressed it accidentally." Wu Hua, who was standing by the door, looked sideways and found that he had somehow rested the back of his hand on the button, causing the pause.

The power equipment in the institute is often inspected and repaired. Because they house experimental subjects, the members here pay more attention to abnormal situations. The people who had originally paid attention to the elevator pause were obviously relieved after reading Wu Hua's explanation.

You Mu, who was protected on the inside, had no expression on his face. He just raised his wrist and looked at the spiral water marks that were clearly left on his skin, his eyes showing an ambiguous look.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Yu Yue noticed You Mu's gaze and turned to look, but he didn't see anything on the other person's wrist.

"fine."

A group of seven people passed through layers of checkpoints at the research institute and finally stepped out of the heavy gate.

You Mu was sent to the base at night and had not yet taken a close look at the scenery of the base. It was only during the day that the damage and interference brought to the city by the end of the world came into view directly.

The prosperous city has become dilapidated after being ravaged by the virus. Most of the high-rise buildings have been cut in half and are uninhabitable. The polluted residential areas are occupied by tenacious plants that still grow wildly after the end of the world. Vine plants cover most of the high-rise buildings.

The road was covered with dust from fallen leaves, and scattered weeds grew on the roadside, with no one paying any attention to them.

The population base has dropped sharply, and most of the manpower is concentrated in the positions placed in the upper levels of the base. Road cleaning, which was common before the end of the world, is no longer the focus of people's attention.

Of course, for today's human beings, being able to stay alive is the right way.

"Doctor, this is a no-entry zone for outsiders. The trading market in Zone 3 is very busy. I've been there before." Wu Hua said. In fact, after entering the laboratory, she never came out again.

On the one hand, they are afraid of trouble, and on the other hand, they feel unsafe.

It's a rare opportunity to go out with them, so everything I see is new.

There were not many people on the street, and most of them were in a hurry. Inside the base, most of the people who survived were working hard to earn points and exchange them for the limited supplies.

In most cases, people with special powers work in teams to complete tasks, and few people wander the streets aimlessly.

"Area three? Where is it?" You Mu followed the direction and confirmed the location with the people around him.

"Yes, Doctor, if you want to go, I will ask someone to drive a car over and take you there." Yu Yue asked, turning his head.

"Where is that place?" With his fingertip slightly tilted, You Mu raised his eyes to roughly the same direction and saw a towering building.

Similar to the structure of a tower.

Yu Yue looked in the direction You Mu's finger was pointing and explained, "That's the base's observation station, which is responsible for transmitting signals and communicating with other bases."

The tower was very tall, and the view distance was pulled further as it tilted upward. You Mu could only see the cylindrical staircase above and the half-person-high fence on one side.

Observation station, standing there, you should be able to see the entire picture of the base.

After thinking for a moment, You Mu pointed to the observatory and said, "I'm going there."
