Chapter 143 Devil Virus (seeking monthly subscription ticket)

The room was very quiet, the wind was blowing from the window, bringing the warmth of the sun, but Liu Lang felt a chill down his back.

"That staff member became a living corpse?" He tried to ask.

Tang Ming nodded heavily: "That's right, that's the first living corpse. The resurrected corpse showed a strong desire to attack from the very beginning. We only paid attention to that monkey after we dealt with it."

"This monkey was transferred to a biological laboratory in our company's science and technology park. They set up a project to study this monkey and wanted to find out the secret of the resurrection of the corpse."

"Not long after, a person in charge of that project told me that they had discovered a completely new kind of non-cellular organism in the cells of this monkey. Namely, a virus!"

Liu Lang thought to himself, the man who pasted the information of Panlong Company on the wall back then was really a genius, and he basically guessed it right.

"However, this virus is somewhat different from what we know. Viruses in our world have a simple structure, no metabolic mechanism of their own, and no enzyme system. Therefore, after leaving the host cell, there is no sign of life activity."

"However, this virus from other worlds can survive outside the host's body. The longest record is that it can survive for about a week. The shortest is 24 hours, and during this time, it becomes extremely aggressive and aggressive. sex."

"It will invade any organism that approaches, and once it enters the organism, it will attack the host's healthy cells. At an abnormal speed, it will assimilate it, eventually causing the death of the host. But after the death of the host, it will regain its physiological functions. And, the host It becomes aggressive, exhibiting bestial instincts, attacking anything that lives."

Liu Lang looked at Tang Ming in disbelief: "Since it's so dangerous, why don't you continue to study?"

Tang Ming said helplessly: "It's not up to me whether to study or not. In fact, I heard the person in charge complain that they applied to the higher authorities to stop the research and destroy all specimens, including the monkey. But this application was rejected. Rejected, they were asked to study the virus and turn it into a usable biotechnology."

"Because the higher-ups believe that after the virus parasitizes, the host's aggressiveness and predation behavior will be put aside. If this virus is used properly, it may become the key to eradicating diseases and prolonging life. Maybe, the troubles of life, old age, sickness and death can be borrowed resolved by this virus."

"So they even gave this virus a noble name, they called it the [God Factor], and privately we prefer to call it the Devil Virus."

Liu Lang shook his head and said: "They are simply crazy. If such a dangerous thing is not destroyed, but continue to study, do they think they are not dying fast enough?"

Tang Ming sneered: "Eliminating the disease is just an excuse for those people to continue to study the virus. The real reason is that once the virus can be transformed into a stable biotechnology, the company's stock price will skyrocket. As long as each share can rise by 50 [-]%, they can take risks for it. If it can be doubled, they are willing to do anything, even this thing, they have to take the risk of all mankind!"

"So since then, the company's research directions have been divided into two. One is the unlimited resources of the parallel world, and the other is the control and utilization of the devil virus."

"The current living corpse is in the first stage of the pathological manifestation of the devil virus, or the D virus for short. It not only causes the host to die and then resurrects, because the D virus needs energy to survive, so the living corpse will hunt and kill living things. Eating provides energy for the D virus."

Liu Lang frowned and said, "Since there is a first stage, there must be a follow-up stage, right?"

Tang Ming nodded: "That's right, when the D virus adapts to the host's body and can perform all functions, it will enter the second stage. In the second stage, not only can their eyes see, but their ears will become more sensitive, and they can hear can detect subtle movements; their noses will be more dog-like, and they will be able to smell human beings."

"At the second stage, they are already the top predators. They will become the existence at the top of the food chain, and all life on this planet will become their food!"

"And to the third stage."

Tang Ming suddenly cupped his head and whispered, Liu Lang quickly asked, "Uncle Tang, what's wrong with you?"

"My head is a little dizzy."

Liu Lang helped him to lie down and said: "You should rest first, your body is still very weak now, let's talk again after you recover your body."

Tang Ming did not refuse. He closed his eyes and said with a painful expression: "Although we did not create the living corpse, if we had not discovered the parallel world and brought back the monkey, this world would not have suffered such a disaster. .”

"We are guilty, we are all guilty, we are the sinners of this world."

As he spoke, tears shed from the corners of Tang Ming's eyes.Liu Lang was speechless, thinking that perhaps what overwhelmed him was not malnutrition, but the strong sense of guilt in his heart.

Tang Ming fell asleep quickly, and Liu Lang covered him with the quilt before walking out of the bedroom.Asking Jin Lixin to take care of him, Liu Lang went back to his room.

From Tang Ming's words, we can be sure that Panlong Company is really not simple. The technology they have mastered can already establish a quantum tunnel and use particle technology to bring back a monkey from another world.

But this is a bit different from Liu Lang's own situation. Someone pulled his soul or consciousness from the earth, and put it into his current body.

I don't know whether Panlong Company has this kind of means. I can only ask Tang Ming about this question later.

However, if Panlong Company can bring a monkey here, can it send itself back to Earth?

Thinking of this, Liu Lang wished he could fly to the headquarters of Panlong Company to ask for clarification.

Liu Lang came to the balcony, the sun was shining brightly outside the building, if it wasn't for the faint roar of living corpses, this world would be pretty good.

When thinking of living corpses, I think of the first stage Tang Ming said.It turns out that the reason why these living corpses can only distinguish prey with their eyes is because the D virus is still in the stage of adapting to the host body.

Once in the second stage, the virus takes full advantage of the host's bodily functions.At that time, living corpses can see, hear and hear, and the situation of human beings will be a hundred times more difficult than it is now!
"Maybe, all human beings will be extinct by then." Liu Lang sighed, and then patted his face lightly with his hand, "I won't die, I'm a man who cheats! Just hug Futu tightly Thighs, I will definitely live to the end!"

Old Liu looked at his hand, the black tower pattern on the back of his hand was the only thing he could rely on to survive in this apocalyptic world!
