"It's really … smelly!"
Zhang Heng exclaimed as he washed his body in the rain. Tom, Ao Qi, and the others were also taking a shower. This was the tenth day they had been in the research institute. In these ten days, they had to search everywhere because of the oil, generator, and raw materials. Although they had Ao Qi's spiritual force scanning, they didn't encounter any danger. However, they had to go through the dirty areas of the research institute every time.
It just so happened that it was raining today. After the research institute was electrified, the only thing they lacked was a water source. When it rained today, everyone was overjoyed. In addition to bringing water back to the enclosed area of the research institute, Zhang Heng and the others took a shower in the rain.
While they were taking a shower, Tom's expression suddenly changed. He said to the two beside him, "Did you guys hear something?"
Zhang Heng and Ao Qi were taking a shower. When they heard Zhao Hai's question, they pricked up their ears. However, it was raining cats and dogs. Ao Qi closed his eyes and used his spiritual force to scan the surroundings. However, there was still nothing. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing around. Zhang Heng, did you hear anything?"
Zhang Heng laughed and said, "Could it be that I just farted? Tom, your ears are as sensitive as a cat's. You can even hear my fart. "
Tom didn't care about this joke. He pricked up his ears and listened for a while. Then he shook his head and said, "Maybe I heard wrong. I vaguely heard the sound of a car engine. Okay, maybe I heard wrong. Whatever, let's take a shower."
After hearing this, Zhang Heng laughed and patted Tom's shoulder, "Speaking of which, you have a good capital. Although it's slightly smaller than mine, it's still very good. When we find those movie worlds that can be resurrected in the future, we can resurrect your sisters. They will be happy, hahaha …"
Tom blushed and murmured, "I just … I just have a good impression of my sister. Just a good impression … Alright, I want to sleep with her, but that's not against the law!"
The laughter on the surface continued. In the enclosed area of the underground research institute, apart from a few people resting, Chu Hao and Robert Neff were busy. Both of them had research abilities. Of course, Robert Neff was more professional, and Chu Hao was more of an assistant. But even so, Robert Neff's research progress was accelerated. In the past ten days, the two slept for no more than six hours every day. Basically, the first thing they did when they woke up was to prepare for the day's research progress.
With such desperate research, the complete perfection of the antidote was just around the corner. Of course, during this period, some virus research had also yielded great results. For example, some of the virus's operating mechanisms and some methods were used to mutate the virus. A new type of drug that could improve the human body's quality had been obtained. However, it had not been tested on humans yet, so they did not know how effective it was for the time being. But based on the data obtained by the Human Cell Research Institute, injecting this drug into humans could allow them to unlock the first or second stage of the genetic lock. In other words, it was very likely that it could unlock the genetic lock!
This was something Chu Hao had never heard of before. As far as he knew, the research institute of the Renegades Organization, and even the research materials stolen from the C Organization, the genetic lock could only be unlocked by an individual. It was almost unheard of that external force could be used to unlock the genetic lock. Even if a life-threatening environment was deliberately created and a large number of hallucinogens were injected to unlock the genetic lock, the person who unlocked the genetic lock would definitely die. It was because of this that the plan to mass produce genetic lock soldiers could not be carried out.
But now, through the research of the antidote of the virus, they actually obtained a drug that could unlock the genetic lock as a by-product? How was this possible?
However, this was only theoretically possible to unlock the genetic lock. As for whether it could actually unlock the genetic lock, it was still a mystery. They would only dare to try it after returning to the God Realm and having the God Realm's full body repair. But even so, this was a result that made Chu Hao very happy. If it was really successful, then the Renegades Organization and Team Nordic's strength in the real world would be greatly improved. How could he not be happy about this? Even if there were still some flaws in this drug, as long as they had the foundation, it would be much easier to continue to research and develop a drug that could unlock the genetic lock.
This was a pleasant surprise for Chu Hao. In his opinion, it was even more exciting than getting 10,000 reward points or even an A-rank side storyline.
However, there was good news, but there was also some other news that was not so good. One of them was that the virus was extremely stubborn. Although it could be killed, it had to be done in a low-temperature environment. The low temperature would cause the virus to enter a dormant state. This method was indeed feasible, but the price was too high. Not to mention other things, if the world had entered the Great Ice Age again, the number of mutants and humans that died was in the tens of millions. It might take hundreds of years for humans to recover their civilization. Therefore, if the virus could be killed in a normal temperature environment, it would be the best.
And … this virus was not just that …
"It failed again …"
Both Chu Hao and Robert Neff sighed. A new round of conventional temperature experiments had failed again, and it had once again verified a result obtained in the previous experiment … That was, the conclusion that the virus had a strange internal connection.
In the past ten days of experiments, the antidote in the research was not impossible to kill the virus. It also killed the virus in a normal temperature state. At that time, the two were extremely happy, but what happened next shocked them. When they carried out the second virus experiment, the previous antidote did not work. In fact, it was not that it did not work. It was just that it could not kill the virus and preserve the mutants at the same time. In other words, it could only kill the mutants and the virus together. This kind of thing happened again and again. The several groups of viruses in the experiment were not the same group of viruses, but viruses collected from different mutants. Moreover, they were placed separately. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the viruses that had not come into contact with the antidote to develop antibodies. However, this was what happened. Even if the antidote was used once, it would no longer be effective on the virus unless it was in a low-temperature environment where the virus fell into a dormant state.
Under such circumstances, Chu Hao and Robert Neff carried out a lot of experiments and discussions. After eliminating some impossible situations, such as accidental contact, leakage of equipment, air sealing problems, and so on, they only came to one conclusion. There was a mysterious connection between the viruses.
In fact, there were many such things in nature. For example, if some plants were eaten by animals in large quantities, then even if the plants in the same area were not eaten by animals, they would still produce some toxins in their bodies to protect themselves. Even now, scientists were still studying this mysterious method of communication, and there was still no absolute conclusion that was absolutely correct.
In addition to plants, some animals also had this mysterious connection, such as fish. When a certain fish was injured in a certain water area, for example, after being fished up, the fished fish would release some kind of hormone, telling other fish to stay away from the water area as far as possible. Such things did indeed exist in the real world.
However, those were, after all, advanced creatures, plants, and animals. They were indeed much more advanced than viruses. It was indeed inconceivable that even viruses now had this kind of mysterious connection. The result of this connection was that the virus was almost impossible to kill under normal circumstances.
This made the two very distressed, but fortunately, the various equipment in this research institute was very high-end. Currently, the most thorough genetic analysis of the virus was being carried out. Hopefully, there would be a better solution after the analysis.
The analysis work was almost done, and they had been busy for the past few days. After a while, the analysis would be completed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Hao and Robert Neff went to the rest area to smoke a cigarette to relieve their tiredness.
"You said … if we can't get the antidote at normal temperatures in the end, we …" Robert Neff said in a depressed tone as he smoked.
Chu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. This is the last chance. If we still can't get the antidote at normal temperatures after the genetic analysis, then we can only perfect the antidote and continue with the plan of the Earth's Great Ice Age. It may take hundreds of years for us humans to recover, but it's better than being replaced by mutants and causing the entire earth to fall into ignorance. This is the last hope and opportunity. We have to do this."
Robert Neff was silent. After a long time, he threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go and see what this virus is."
The two walked into the sterile room. Next, when they saw the genetic map analysis of the virus, their faces turned pale. They were so shocked and horrified that the two of them were speechless.
The genetic map of this virus was completely different from any known bacteria, viruses, and biological genetic models on earth. The genes of this virus …
It actually outlined a butterfly, wings, and body. It was a very vivid butterfly!
Virus …
A butterfly!?
