Chapter 274： Mutant virus

"The three-headed biochemical beast was in a state of high excitement before death. It was like a spar chariot that drove the speed to the limit, and even the "engine" exploded."

Ningshe murmured, "It doesn't seem like a normal runaway..."

Meng Chao agreed.

He could imagine the state of the three-headed biochemical beast before he died.

Their blood is almost boiling, and every cell in the body is screaming, eager to get more oxygen, participating in the mitochondrial energy conversion reaction, and outputting a brutal attack.

What kind of runaway can cause this... volcanic eruption?

Sun Yufeng continued to dissect and quickly separated the spinal cords of three biochemical beasts.

Going all the way up, straight to the brain domain, the brain, cerebellum and brainstem were unraveled very clearly.

The head of one of the biochemical beasts was shattered by the heavy punches of human beings.

Sun Yufeng is like a puzzle master, very patiently and meticulously putting the brain back together, and after only five minutes, he has recovered 70% to 80%.

The magical skills made Meng Chao amazing, knowing that he still has a long way to go in the field of "reaper".

Sun Yufeng wrapped the separated cerebellum, medulla oblongata, and brain with a soft mass of psionic energy, and slowly rotated 360 degrees to show it to everyone.

In particular, the hippocampus of the basal surface of the brain was infiltrated by him with psionic energy and glowed slightly, which could destroy the inside slightly and see clearly.

I saw various parts of the brain from the brain to the spinal cord, there are varying degrees of congestion, edema and subtle bleeding, as well as dark purple stripes.

The former is a typical pathological change of acute diffuse meningitis, the latter should be a certain viral infection.

Sun Yufeng collected samples from the brains, spinal cords, and various organs of three biochemical beasts and sent them for virus detection.

However, the test results have not yet come out, and the experienced harvesters have roughly guessed from the pathological changes.

"Variants of rabies virus?"

On the earth, rabies virus is a very stable rhabdovirus. Its shape is elastic, the nucleocapsid is spirally symmetrical, and the surface has an envelope, which contains single-stranded RNA. There are four subtypes in total. It is easy to produce variation.

But as tens of thousands of dogs came from the earth to the outside world, there were naturally some sick dogs lurking, rabies virus from the earth and "zombie virus" from the outside world, and hundreds of other viruses collided, and they were magnetized again. Interference, shattering the envelope and nucleus, produced countless variants.

99% of the mutations will cause fatal damage to the virus itself.

But the remaining 1% of the mutations, such as the combination of rabies virus and influenza virus, will make the rabies virus escalate, becoming a hundred times more terrible than the age of the earth, and even not only spread between mammals, but even a variety of reptiles. And crustacean monsters are likely to be infected with "variant rabies virus".

"From the deep purple markings on the spinal cord, my personal preliminary inference is that it is a type 9 mutant rabies virus. This virus is mostly present in rodent monsters, which can greatly enhance the aggressiveness of the monsters and through biting and scratching. , Using saliva and blood as a medium to spread to various mammals."

Sun Yufeng said with a blank expression, "The type 9 mutant rabies virus, the time from infection to onset is very fast, usually the incubation period will not exceed 48 hours, once the onset, mammals will become extremely crazy, nervous convulsions, attack All living creatures I see are one of the most dangerous subtypes of rabies virus, also known as the'dance of death', even more dangerous than the zombie virus."

Everyone nodded.

Infected with zombie virus, the mitochondria deep inside the cell may not output all the energy in an instant.

Many zombies are slow to move, and will only stagger along. In the case of a large number of bacteria in the body, they will emit a "wailing" jet sound to ensure that this "body" can be used for a longer time.

However, the "nine variant rabies virus" will instantly stimulate all the mitochondria of the cells in the host, releasing the most violent energy, turning the host into a "biochemical incendiary bomb", killing prey, and burning out itself.

If it is really infected with the mutant rabies virus, and the out of control of the biochemical beast, it seems that it cannot be blamed on the modulation of "spiritual creatures".

Therefore, Xie Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Three days ago, near the'Sega Sky City', a small fog did occur, and a wave of rats intruded into the space.

"Although the rat tide was quickly wiped out, it was inevitable that several violent murmurs were hiding underground, and they got into the "Sega Sky City" through the sewer, and spread the rabies virus in the body to the three biochemical beasts. "

This speculation has caused many people to discuss and feel that it is quite possible.

Only the representative of "Tiangong Machinery" still said with a cold face: "Even if it is really a mutant rabies virus, aren't your company's biochemical beasts injected with vaccines?"

Xie Xiaofeng said: "Of course, our products have undergone the strictest quarantine and epidemic prevention measures, and even at the embryo stage, through gene editing, we have eliminated the possibility of most virus infections.

"However, the world is so unstable, everything is madly mutating and evolving. Just rabies virus, there are dozens of subtype variants, which is only detected by humans, and many vaccines can be used for up to one year. The half-load will be invalidated, and no one will dare to pack tickets, saying that vaccination can resist all infections.

"Even humans can be infected with zombies and become humanoid monsters. Before we develop the "zombie vaccine", should we stay at home and can't we live normally?"

"This..." The other party was speechless for a moment.

On the occasion of both sides talking, I quietly pulled Meng Chao and pulled him into the corner.

"Meng Chao, do you think there will be traces like pinholes on the three-headed biochemical beast?" Ning She whispered.

Meng Chao thought about the telegram and said, "Ning Lao means, I suspect that someone intentionally injected the mutant rabies virus into the body of three biochemical pet beasts, causing them to get out of control and go crazy?"

Ning She nodded and said, "Since it's here, of course we have to consider all the possibilities. Takano said it was a conspiracy. Check it and have an explanation for him."

Meng Chao said: "It makes sense. Ning Lao just said to Sun Lao just now. I am here to study, it's okay."

Instead, I coughed: "Then you speak."

Meng Chao: "Hey?"

Ningshe me: "After all, I am highly respected in the circle and involved in all aspects, do you understand?"

Meng Chao: "Understood, I'm here to offend people. I'm responsible for speaking out what you or the "spiritual creation" side is inconvenient to say. When necessary, it should be ridiculed-I am surprised that there are you and your grandson Old town, and want me to be a little bit, how hard it is to watch!"

Ning She blushed and couldn't speak.

That's what Meng Chao said. In fact, he also wanted to know the truth of the loss of control of the biochemical beast. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and said: "Senior Sun, if the virus really spreads from the claws of the rodent monsters to the On the biochemical beasts, then there should be small bites or scratches on the bodies of these three biochemical beasts, right?

"After all, the outbreak of the rat tide was just three days ago, and the incubation period of the rabies virus type 9 mutant did not exceed 48 hours, and the wound did not heal so easily."

Sun Yufeng gave Meng Chao a deep look.

It seems to have seen through what he really wanted to ask.

Sun Yufeng said blankly: "I found hundreds of lacerations on three biochemical beasts. It was either caused by excessive force or wounded by humans. I didn't find a rodent monster to bite or scratch. trace.

"However, because the three biochemical beasts have been hit hard by humans, many parts of the body are blurred or even missing. I can't guarantee that there are no signs of biting or scratching in these missing parts."

After a pause, he added another sentence:

"Of course, I didn't find any traces of injections like needle holes."

The last sentence made everyone's discussion sound instantly noisy.

Many Dao's eyes were focused on Meng Chao, as if to hear the implication of the dialogue between the two.

Meng Chao blushed a little.

But he asked what he said, and it didn’t matter what the old senior thought. He stepped up again, looked at Sun Yufeng, and said seriously: "Senior Sun, I don’t know if you have probed...the deepest ear canal?"

Sun Yufeng was slightly startled.

Meng Chao pointed to his ear and said, "Using extremely flexible materials, create long hairs that are as fine as fur, and follow the winding ear canal to the deepest point close to the eardrum, requiring only a very small amount of medicine. It can directly act on the central nervous system, the wounds are minimal, and even the most advanced instruments are difficult to detect."

This is a kind of assassination technique recorded in the "Stabbing Method" taught by the black skull instructor in the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life.

Not only can it kill people invisible, but of course it can also make biochemical beasts out of control and crazy.

As soon as this remark came out, he stared around his eyes, becoming colder or hotter.

Sun Yufeng frowned deeply, and seemed not very satisfied with Meng Chao's doubts about his flaw detection.

But without saying a word, he buried his head to detect the ear canal of three biochemical beasts.

The ear canal is meandering, covered with hair, clogged with blood, which is not easy to detect.

However, Sun Yufeng had his own way. Every piece of spirit seemed to have life, and he scrambled into it.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, as if all five senses were attached to the spirit silk, and he got into the ears of the three biochemical beasts.

Forehead oozes sweat beads, obviously this operation comparable to "human flesh microscope" consumes his spirit greatly.

For three full minutes, he didn't open his eyes, but his expression became more and more dignified.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more serious, and gradually, no one was noisy, and everyone stared at his expression.

Five minutes later, Sun Yufeng finally opened his eyes and looked at Meng Chao for a long time with extremely strange eyes.

In this way: "In the depths of the left ears of the two biochemical beasts, there are indeed two very small...pinhole scars."
