The story of the interstellar animal husband chasing his wife

Chapter 168 Virus mutation (third shift)
The energy wall blocked the entire resort including the ski resort, and there seemed to be colorful auroras in all directions.Until the propeller of the helicopter stopped, the staff of the epidemic prevention center could clearly see the messy snow.

Light blue ice crystals were scattered everywhere, passing through the three corpses, and the surrounding snow was mixed with black and ash.When Ye Ming reminded them that there were two crawler corpses on the hillside in the distance, they were stunned.

so much?
Police cars came one after another, and the policeman opened the car door and pointed his gun at the ice crystal cluster; the armed police pushed forward with anti-riot shields, approaching the ice crystal cluster in unison.

When they approached, they found that the body was not moving, so they carefully put down the riot shield.

Make sure the creeper is dead.

The staff of the Epidemic Prevention Center immediately took tools to collect the corpses, and Ye Ming called several people to check the wounded.Through preliminary testing, the injured did not find any signs of mutation, but detailed testing requires the injured to follow them to the hospital for a full-body examination.

So the three injured people boarded the helicopter and waited.

Seeing that it was safe outside, the people in the store couldn't wait to shout to come out.

The fat man was reluctant to move away. Didn't they repel dissidents and prevent the injured from entering? They simply didn't come out.Su Weiguang had no choice but to persuade him a few times, but he reluctantly moved away.

The noisy tourists thought they could leave, but the police used a loudspeaker to tell them to stay for a statement and a blood test. "...The resort has been blocked. The police will thoroughly investigate the life and death of the crawlers and their source. Everyone is forbidden to leave the resort these days. Thank you for your cooperation!"

Tourists complained.

At this time, a flash came out of nowhere, and some reporters appeared out of nowhere to take pictures.The police immediately stopped them and asked them to hand over their cameras.A round of chasing battle between the police and reporters began.

Xu Daiyu said nervously to Su Weiguang: "Squad leader, it's not suitable for you to show your face in front of the media, cover your face!"

"Did you take a picture just now?" Ye Ming is well aware of the pros and cons. Once it is reported that the eldest son of the Su Group appeared in this incident, the stock may fall again, and the media will block Su Weiguang from asking questions.

"The flash is coming from behind, so it should not have been photographed."

Su Weiguang put on the hood of his coat, and he could cover his face as soon as he lowered his head.

The staff of the epidemic prevention center drew blood for the tourists, and the body collectors put the corpses in vacuum bags and carried them to the helicopter, and they sent them to the epidemic prevention center overnight for inspection.

Because of this incident, someone was called to the epidemic prevention center overnight.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Dr. R Mei sorted out the silk scarves and suits with a displeased face, stepped on high-heeled shoes with looming muscles, and entered the epidemic prevention center with the handover staff. "Staying up late and working will make the skin age. You will send me some masks later."

"Yes, yes. Because this time is very special, I found that the infected body was infected at an extremely fast speed, so I rushed to find you, Doctor."

"How fast is the infection?"

"Five and a half hours."

Dr. R Mei stopped complaining and walked towards the laboratory seriously.The laboratory is located in the depths of the epidemic prevention center, with an area of ​​several square kilometers, with eight walls all white, and even the experimenters are wearing white protective clothing.

In some experimental areas, instruments, chemical beakers, or animal cages were placed on the table, and the room was filled with the squeaking of white mice.

Dr. R Mei went into one of the areas of the laboratory wearing a protective suit after being sterilized all over his body.

The assistant reported to him: "Three corpses were infected by the original virus, and the remaining two were secondary infections. The mutation speed of the secondary infection is five and a half hours, and we checked that its incubation time was only four hours."

"What about the infection rate of the original virus?"

"It's 93% the same as the crawler's common incubation time—two months, and the rate of mutation is 95 to [-] days. It's [-]% similar to the results reported by Mingyang Mountain."

Dr. R Mei pondered, two months ago was when the food poisoning incident broke out.Pet attacks have occurred frequently recently, and he has investigated that the source of the incident is also processed meat.And processed meat contained an unknown virus—a finding that could not be made public.

Orcs have immunity, and they will be fine after a serious illness, but pets and unevolved animals are different. They have no immunity and either evolve or mutate into reptiles.

"Take me to where the bodies are kept," he said.

The assistant took Dr. R. Mei to the independent experiment room, where five stinking animal carcasses were placed in a metal box on the table.Two people put on their gas masks and took a closer look, three of whom had the distinctive features of a creeper.

Dr. R. Mei went to the microscope to observe the cells.The sample appears to have been invaded by a vicious virus, and the original cells are gone. Obviously, this is a sample in the mid-mutation stage.

He looked at another microscope, and the cells under the microscope were being eroded by the virus at lightning speed, and his face changed drastically. "The host is dead, and the foreign cells infected by the virus can still move to erode the original cells! It's unprecedented, leave a sample quickly and burn the two corpses! If you want to be burned to ashes, hurry up!"

The assistant was so frightened by his severity that he immediately cut off a small piece of skin from an Alaskan dog, and then called for someone to send the bodies of the two Alaskan dogs to be cremated. "Doctor, what will happen if you don't burn it?"

"It takes a long time for the virus to combine with the original cells. It's good that the virus doesn't leak out. If an uninfected animal comes in and touches the corpse, the virus will spread through body fluids, such as those white mice outside."

"So even if the host is dead, the virus-carrying cells can still be active?"

"It can be done in a short period of time. Come over and have a look, the virus of the secondary infection is different from the original virus, it has many 'limbs' like tentacles."

The assistant heard the words and went to look at the microscope. Sure enough, the strip-shaped virus had dense "tentacles", and it was these "tentacles" that quickly robbed the original cells.The cells combined with the virus also grew many "tentacles", and even the original cells without life activities became their food.

"Disease, the virus has mutated..."

"No, it has evolved." Dr. R. Mei looked at the wolfdog's body, "After it completely turns into a reptile, the virus in its body has a 60% chance of evolving. Then compare the samples of the current crawler. The police found these three Is there a source of infection for dogs?"

"Not yet, the police have sealed off the resort for search."

"You send a notice to other experimenters to prohibit any experimental animals from entering here. I will apply for a meeting." Dr. R. Mei went to the door of the laboratory and took off the gas mask.

Then he went to an empty office and dialed a number.The other side rang for a long time before answering the phone. Dr. R Mei was polite, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late, I have an urgent report to report."

"Go ahead."

"Five crawlers appeared in Moss City, two of which were secondary infections. The incubation period of the virus is only four hours, and the time from infection to mutation is five and a half hours." The other party was shocked and fell silent. Dr. R Mei continued: " I am requesting an urgent videoconference requesting participants: the Political Corps and Her Majesty the Queen."
