Sea of ​​Doom

"What?" Zhou Zheng asked in surprise.

Xia Zhi nodded, "I think he was probably not 'dead' when he was sent to the central government."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present fell silent.

not dead yet?

What do you mean?

Everyone's expressions changed at this moment, especially Zhou Zheng, who looked at Xia Zhi with a sullen face.

"Wait," Mo Yu frowned, "I remember you said at the beginning that the ones sent to the center were living, and now you say they are not dead? Shouldn't the living itself be alive?"

That's right, it was the same as last time.It clearly said that the central government came into contact with a living body, but it also said that it was resurrected halfway and caused infection?

Shouldn't the living body itself be alive?

"No." Shaking his head, Xia Zhi said with a bit of confusion on his face, "Actually, if that experiment is really going to be evaluated, it should be a very failed experiment."

"We actually didn't get results from a lot of things in an experiment. Although this should be a common thing in experiments, there are too many doubts about him. For example, when the captain sent him, he was tied up and placed in a It’s in a transparent glass jar. When I opened it, there was still weak breathing, but when I did the experiment later, I found a lot of strange phenomena. It was on the experimental bench that the heart had died, but some cells were still alive on."

"And his cells... In layman's terms, I found three types of cells in his body." Xia Zhi recalled a little bit suspiciously, "The third type is not unique to human mutants."

"The third type?" Several people asked in confusion.

"Yes, I personally speculate that they either invaded during the infection, or were carried by the mutated species itself. But I couldn't get to the bottom of this issue at the time," Xia Zhi frowned and said with a look of regret, "Lin Zhen insisted on opposing the investigation of this aspect , because the living body is too limited, he thinks that it is very likely that the mutated cells stopped phagocytizing human cells halfway left the cell body. Anyway, compared to other doubts, this is the most insignificant."

"But you don't think so?" Berlin didn't know who Lin Zhen was, although it was a bit different from his idea -- Xia Zhi shouldn't be the highest leader in the laboratory, right?

Xia Zhi shook his head, "When he was sent to the central government, he had already mutated for more than 8 hours, so there was no reason why he was still in the process of mutating at that time. And most of the mutations were completed, only a few remained there. It's too abrupt."

It was indeed too abrupt. I remember that when he found those few cells under the microscope, he was still in a state of extreme shock.This was an existence that he could not have expected at all, and it was precisely in such a shocking situation that his mind was in a mess and he was attacked without noticing.Afterwards, he and Lin Zhen raised this issue many times, and the latter firmly disagreed with wasting time on this.At that time, Xia Zhi had no place to speak in the laboratory, so this matter just sank down.

"Then what's so special about it that makes you care so much?" Mo Yu asked suddenly.

Xia Zhi raised her head to look at him when she heard the words, while recalling the events of that day in her mind.

Why do you care so much?

"Because it... In a sense, it is closer to human cells than mutants."

Closer to human cells?

"I have a very vague concept in my mind, and I can't express it now. I think we may have to study a little more." Xia Zhi glanced at them and said, "And I think we can go to the northwest, there are a few The reason. The terrain in the northwest is very complicated, and the climate is also relatively dry. In this case, it is very likely that there will be a completely different mutation method, and we may find something when we go there.”

Hearing this, several people nodded slightly.

The four of them are very bad at expressing words, and Zhou Zheng, the only one who is proficient in this aspect, was silent throughout the whole process.

How did this plague come about?

To be honest, Xia Zhi himself has no idea.

It came so quietly, and it came so overwhelmingly.It doesn't even have the progress process that any creature should have, and it can bring a devastating blow to human beings who are already so powerful on the earth.And what if this is just the beginning?What if they will become even more incredible after that, even enough to completely wipe out the entire human race?

Xia Zhi is not afraid of this, but it is difficult to restrain her curiosity and doubts about this virus.He remembered that he once read in a book that when the earth moved to a certain critical point, the environment on the earth at that time would probably no longer be suitable for human survival.

In the past, some people used this argument to explain why dinosaurs disappeared.

And after this mutation, countries quickly built refuges in the central inland areas far from the ocean.But compared with the people who died in the plague, the number of people that the shelter could save was very small.

Moreover, this is the real first time that such a plague has appeared in such a completely unpredictable situation.

Xia Zhi always felt that there was something hidden behind this that he hadn't even seen the tip of the iceberg.

Why do similar human cells appear?And that kind of cells is really incredible from an academic point of view.

It was mentioned in Darwin's theory of evolution that the reason why the giraffe's neck becomes longer is to eat the grass on the trees. Year after year, even reproduction has become what it is now. Those who survive.In other words, every species on the earth has different places for better survival.

Just as fish can live in water, camels can live in deserts, and birds can soar in the sky.

If this theory is used to explain this cell, it will be a little smoother.

Because at that time, he found that those cells were slightly different from those of human beings.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be a group of human cells that have been used for many different experiments, because they were infected with many unique substances that should not appear on human beings, but the main body is still human cells.

Many different experiments have been done...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He couldn't think of any species other than humans that could do such a superb experiment.

And the reason for the formation of such cells is caused by any special factors, or is it artificial?

man-made……

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Zhi felt his spine go numb.

But this time, he didn't find any trace of that kind of cells in the old man.

Then again, he was attacked not long after the cells were detected, and has never had access to them since.

So apart from the quick glance and rushing thoughts at the beginning, there are very few studies on this...

Xia Zhi silently packed up the utensils, thinking in his heart that he might have to go back.After coming to the mutation-infested area, he also understood that such a special existence as the captain of the wild wolf team might be the only research object left in the whole world.

"Xia Zhi," after everyone else left, only Zhou Zheng stayed beside Xia Zhi, and suddenly said, "I want to ask you something."

"Yeah." Xia Zhi was still stuck in his unrestrained thoughts, and didn't come back to his senses.

"The person who sent Lin Zhi back is still in the Central Committee?"

When Zhou Zheng said this, his voice was very soft.It was so light that Xia Zhi couldn't help coming back from his own thoughts to look at him, and when he saw Zhou Zheng's expression, even Xia Zhi was dazed for a moment.

It was the wavering that Zhou Zheng had never shown.

"Lin Zhi?"

"Wild Wolves Captain, Lin Zhi." Zhou Zheng closed his eyes.

Xia Zhi was silent for a while, then replied, "No, he's dead."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Zhi saw the fleeting shock on Zhou Zheng's face.

In their position, death is really a normal thing.

In the past, Xia Zhi didn't wait for anyone to ask, so he was not used to explaining to people, except for Lu Cheng.But this time, he miraculously read the importance of this matter to him from Zhou Zheng's expression. Before Zhou Zheng could ask, he said it himself.

"He sent the wild wolf... Lin Zhi died the day after he came. He committed suicide. When we found him, there was no possibility of reviving him." Xia Zhi said calmly, regrettably, "If that At that time, we could think that if he could be saved, he might still be alive."

And maybe, he will have the same physique as him.

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he let out a miserable laugh.

"Zhou Zheng, you are a fucking coward! You can't protect anyone at all!"

You can't protect anyone!

Lin Zhi's furious voice came from the memory, causing the fists hanging on his legs to be retracted, Zhou Zheng lowered his head and gave a wry smile.

Xiaojing...

The author has something to say: QVQ was made too late last night, and I didn’t have time to modify it. It’s another transition and I’m afraid of mistakes, so it became today.

One more later.

Have a BUG please point out please forgive me QVQ
