Chapter 104 The opposite

Fu Yan's genes are very special.

In the whole world, no one knows this matter better than Liu Ruosong.

In his previous life, he and Fang Sining almost studied Fu Yan's genes from the bottom up, wishing they could print out his cell division patterns and stick them on the bedside.

So what is special about Fu Yan and where is the limit, Liu Ruosong knows it well.

His blood base could grow B-92, yielding a crappy blocker, but his genes weren't inherently compatible with the virus.And at the same time, the zombie virus will also multiply and grow in his blood sample and invade his healthy tissue cells-that is to say, if he is infected by the zombie virus, he will also mutate like other people.

These are all basic experiments performed by Liu Ruosong, and he never thought that there would be any deviations.

When checking the materials left by Joe Eden at the research institute on the other side of the river, Liu Ruosong made a rough guess, and felt that the nature of the petri dish should be similar to that of Fu Yan—their genes had some special elements, so when faced with the same There are different strains of viruses that vary from time to time.

Liu Ruosong even guessed that if this is a one-in-a-million genetically mutated physique, then if Fu Yan is implanted with the same original strain of R-01 according to the cultivation process of the petri dish, he might also become another "Petri dish".

But these conjectures can only stop before the "mutation" in the end, because even the Petri dishes need regular injections of barrier agents cultivated by silver fish, which means that this powerful virus can even corrode the "container", let alone Fu Yan. A condition in which bodily fluids are exchanged for infection.

So Liu Ruosong made mental preparations for "farewell to life and death" and "killing the lover" all night, but 1 people never expected that when the sky was about to dawn, Fu Yan would actually have a fever.

The process of zombie virus infection is nerve ossification and death, stagnation of the internal circulatory system, and finally brain death-during this process, the activity of the human body is gradually declining, but the concept of "fever" is completely opposite to this pace.

Increased heat production due to pyrogens, enhanced immune system response, increased white blood cell count…

Tens of thousands of clinical entries flashed through Liu Ruosong's mind, he stared blankly at his hand, for a moment, he suspected that he was crazy.

But then he realized that it wasn't. Fu Yangao had a severe fever, he was dehydrated, his breathing was heavy, and his skin was soft. Liu Ruosong lifted his eyelids and took a look, and found that although his pupils seemed to be distracted because of his unconsciousness, the surrounding area of ​​his eyes There is no pathological reaction of turning yellow and turning blue.

Liu Ruosong's fluke mentality rushed towards his face like a tide, and he almost tremblingly went to undo the bandage on Fu Yan's arm. His fingers trembled several times, and he couldn't align the bandage buckle. In the end, he lost his patience and pulled out his saber to remove the gauze. .

One night later, the bite mark on Fu Yan's right forearm was still ferocious, and a thick layer of pus oozed out, almost sticking the gauze to the flesh.But what was shocking was that the blue and black color around his wound faded a bit, and the edge of the wound began to become red and swollen, and a little bright red blood flowed out.

It was as if... overnight, his immune system had begun to kill the invading virus.

The direction of this matter was completely out of Liu Ruosong's preparations, his heart was pounding like a drum, almost numb his whole body.

He stayed there for about ten seconds before he suddenly realized what he was supposed to do at this time. He wrapped his crooked coat around Fu Yan indiscriminately, then turned around and rushed out to find someone.

Outside the cave, Shao Qiu had been imprisoned by Joe Aiden for more than a year, and his field experience was not as rich as that of Feng Lei. At the beginning, he heard that Fu Yan had a fever, but Feng Lei was stunned. He took a few steps and asked anxiously: "real or fake?"

"Really." Liu Ruosong took a deep breath and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look - he has a terrible fever, do you have any medicine?"

"Will our medicine work for him in this situation, and should he be sent back to a professional military doctor?" Feng Lei asked like a cannonball while rummaging through the spare injections in the medical bag: "Or is it a flashback? Does he have a hypothermia?"

For a moment, Liu Ruosong didn't care whether his speech was unpleasant or not, so he casually took the medical kit and ran back. Feng Lei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed.

Clouds and dark clouds covered the ground, thunder rang on the flat ground, and the raindrops gradually joined together from the patter of temptation. Slow down a little.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a flashback or not." Liu Ruosong said: "As long as he hasn't turned into a monster, as long as he still knows me, then he is still a human being, and I can't ignore him."

As Liu Ruosong spoke, he rolled up Fu Yan's sleeve, and quickly took out a shot of antibiotics from the medical bag.

He was very close to Fu Yan, because Fu Yan lost consciousness, so he sat very unsteadily, Liu Ruosong almost half-circled him for the convenience of movement, if Fu Yan suddenly violently hurt someone, he could bite him even without turning his head neck.

Feng Lei stood at the entrance of the cave from a distance to watch Fu Yan finish his injection, and he didn't approach him without speaking, as if he was thinking about something like a battle between heaven and man.

Liu Ruosong was not surprised by his fear—after all, this virus has only been around for a long time, and no one can say that it has figured out its characteristics. If the virus evolves to this point, it may cause pathological fever symptoms before it mutates.

Liu Ruosong himself can be indifferent, he is not afraid that Fu Yan will bite him, but he can understand that others are afraid.

After a while, Feng Lei's battle between heaven and man seemed to have a result.

He strode over, bent over and pressed the back of his hand to Fu Yan's forehead, and then, like Liu Ruosong, checked his pupils and wounds.

Then he retreated to the entrance of the cave, hesitated for a while, and said, "Take Captain Fu... take him back."

Liu Ruosong looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to make such a risky decision.

Feng Lei said: "There are military doctors and monitoring equipment at the base, which is more convenient than here."

In any case, it is obviously a good thing not to have to hide in the barren mountains and fields, Liu Ruosong hummed, and was about to uncuff Fu Yan's handcuffs.

"Wait a minute, Consultant Liu, let's clarify some things first." Feng Lei stopped him and said seriously: "I think Captain Fu's state is not right, I don't know if there is a difference between a petri dish infection and an ordinary zombie infection, but Team Fu's situation doesn't look like a common infection, so I can't decide whether he will stay or not."

What he said was contradictory at first, Liu Ruosong didn't understand Feng Lei's mind, so he cautiously did not disagree.

"To be on the safe side, I suggest taking Captain Fu back. Whether it's for treatment or something, it's definitely inconvenient here." Feng Lei paused, and said, "But the safety issue must be guaranteed—it's best to take some control measures. .”

Liu Ruosong frowned imperceptibly when he thought of the "volunteers" and "samples" who were restrained in the laboratory building in his previous life.

"...No iron chains." But Liu Ruosong understood the rules, weighed it for a moment, and gave way: "I want a safer and gentler method, and I have the key in my hand."

Feng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's for sure, don't worry, we are here for safety, not to lock him up."

The two of them settled the issue of Fu Yan's ownership in a few words. Shao Qiu, who had been silent all this time, had already walked up to him, touched Fu Yan, and took out the spare key of the handcuffs from his belt.

Liu Ruosong originally wanted to stop him and remind him of safety issues, but Shao Qiu didn't care much more than Liu Ruosong, and pulled Fu Yan to turn over twice, with his arms swaying back and forth beside his profile, not afraid that he would suddenly open his eyes and give him a bite like.

He uncuffed the half of the handcuffs on the steel pipe and handcuffed it back to Fu Yan's own wrist, and before giving the remaining two people a chance to react, he bent down, avoiding Liu Ruosong's hand, and put Fu Yan on his back .

"Brother Liu, you are tired too, let me carry the captain on my back." Shao Qiu said.

"Need not--"

Liu Ruosong wanted to refuse, but when he stood up, his feet shook.He didn't eat for almost a day, and stayed up all night, and now he really couldn't hold on anymore.

On the other hand, Feng Lei took a deep breath as if he had a toothache, and looked at Shao Qiu like he was looking at a clean Tang monk's flesh: "Xiao Shao, do you want to—"

"No, handcuffs are enough." Shao Qiu turned his head and glanced at Fu Yan, and said, "The captain won't bite me—if it's really that unlucky, the kung fu of a few steps will change, then it will be my life. .”

Feng Lei finally found out that one of the two people cared about it but was chaotic, and the other was not too serious. They were both the ones who couldn't be persuaded, so he gave up the "safety regulations and guidelines" and turned around to make way for them.

The rain outside was getting heavier, Liu Ruosong threw his coat to Fu Yan, walked out by himself, and when he reached the gate of the landscape park, he seemed to feel something, and squinted his eyes to look at the sky.

In the early morning of a cloudy and rainy day, the sky was so dark that there was only a layer of gray left, but for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Liu Ruosong let out a long breath in his heart, only feeling refreshed.

Fortunately, Liu Ruosong thought happily in bitterness: Fate is not so wicked, it still leaves a way out for Fu Yan.

Although his "suspected not to mutate" label will be a bit troublesome, and he will inevitably have a physical examination and blood sample after returning to Yancheng, but fortunately this time he has a Petri dish, and finally there is a substitute that can be used.

petri dish...

Liu Ruosong's thoughts were all on Fu Yan before, but now he has the time to think about what's wrong.

The petri dish is the same as Fu Yan, blood samples and genes can be used as a base for B-92, which sounds like a characteristic of a special constitution, Liu Ruosong always feels that this may not be a pure coincidence.

They are similar but different, they seem to have the same "utility", but in terms of "mutation", it seems that their genetic characteristics are very different.

Petri dishes need blocking agents to remain rational, but Fu Yan seems to be able to digest the virus by himself.

Liu Ruosong finally discovered the source of the sense of discord in his heart—they seemed to start from the same point, but went in two diametrically opposite directions.
