Ruan Jie suddenly became nervous. Doctor Zhang asked the two people to go out, proving that the matter was serious. He straightened the brim of his hat and told the details about Yang Weiben's mutation.
Zhang Huajiu fell into deep thought after listening. He crossed his arms and said, "Ruan Jie, please tell the people who are out today that this matter should not be made public. Everyone is very nervous. This news will cause some people to have a nervous breakdown. Just tell them.
As long as Yang Weiben is infected, don’t say anything else, including yourself.”
Ruan Jie nodded, took off his hat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, you go out for a while, and I'll talk to Deng Yun about something." Zhang Huajiu said.
When Ruan Jie left, he looked at Deng Yun with an extremely serious expression, even a little cold.
Deng Yun felt the other party's hostility and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Deng Yun, did your father inject you with any strange medicine?" Zhang Huajiu asked directly.
Hearing this question, Deng Yun immediately understood the reason for the hostility. Uncle Hua Jiu suspected that his ability came from some kind of medicine.
"No, my dad has never injected me with medicine." Deng Yun replied.
Zhang Huajiu stretched out his hand: "Show me your slingshot."
Deng Yun hesitated and handed his slingshot to the other party.
The other party took the slingshot, inspected it carefully, stretched the bow to test the strength, and then returned it to Deng Yun.
"Deng Yun, I watched you grow up. I know very well how capable you are. Even if you are extremely talented and no matter how good you are with a slingshot, it is impossible for the slingshot to penetrate a human skull with its strength. Just be honest.
"How did you do it?" Zhang Huajiu looked into Deng Yun's eyes and asked with piercing eyes.
Deng Yun broke out in cold sweat behind his back. He opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't know how to speak. The things about the system were too unbelievable. If he told Uncle Hua Jiu the truth, he wouldn't believe it.
He thought about it and said, "Uncle Hua Jiu, I really didn't inject any medicine. I just encountered some adventures and gained some weird abilities, so that I have the abilities I have now."
This is not a lie. The system is indeed his adventure. As for what kind of adventure and how he obtained it, he feels there is no need to tell the other party too clearly.
Zhang Huajiu squinted his eyes and pondered. He touched his bare forehead and muttered a few words to himself.
Deng Yun, who had enhanced hearing, heard the other party say some information about genetic control, and the other party seemed to be deducing some possibility.
"Deng Yun, do you know what your father studied before?" Zhang Huajiu suddenly asked.
Deng Yun shook his head. He only knew that his father had studied with a famous professor before, but then suddenly left the professor for unknown reasons and went to work in a pharmaceutical factory.
"Then let me tell you, this virus has nothing to do with your father's research." Zhang Huajiu said slowly.
Although there had been speculations before, Deng Yun couldn't accept the confirmation now. He really couldn't imagine that a man as honest and kind as his father could actually develop such a terrifying virus.
Zhang Huajiu looked at Deng Yun's face and guessed Deng Yun's thoughts, so he said: "Your father did not study this virus. He wanted to develop a drug to treat cancer."
"He and his teacher Professor Wan started from the genetic level and developed a substance to treat cancer. It was named Substance C at the time. It caused a storm in the medical field. Tianxia Group immediately invested in this project and developed a drug to treat cancer. This news
You should know."
This information made Deng Yun stunned. He didn't expect that his father, who had a straight face every day, would actually develop a drug that changed the world. He always thought that his father was just an ordinary pharmacist.
Zhang Huajiu continued: "As the research progressed, he discovered the horror of substance C. This substance can pry the shackles of genes and change genes. When human genes change, are they still human?"
"He immediately knew the threat of this substance, so he went to discuss it with Professor Wan, hoping that he would stop researching it.
Of course Professor Wan would not agree to his request and would continue the research on Substance C. You should know what happened next. Your father left Tianxia Group and came to work in a pharmaceutical factory in N City."
After listening to Uncle Hua Jiu's words, Deng Yun felt relieved. At least his father was not involved in virus research.
"Do you know why I told you this?" Zhang Huajiu asked.
Deng Yun frowned, and based on the previous conversation, he vaguely guessed an answer and said: "In addition to telling me about my father, you should also tell me the reason why I became stronger?"
Zhang Huajiu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Deng Yun to think of this. According to previous impressions, this child was a person who didn't know anything about anything. He only knew how to play games every day.
"Yes, substance C can affect genes. There is a process, and the initial stage is called the edge state." He explained.
Hearing the words "borderline state", Deng Yun's mind went blank. He didn't expect that the combat state he entered every day could be heard in reality. He always thought that this was the ability given to him by the system.
He adjusted his mood and continued to listen to Uncle Hua Jiu.
"I still remember your father's words. He said a word that I will never forget...gene lock."
"The function of Substance C is to pry the genetic lock and allow people to change. This change is unknown. Different people have different genes, and everyone's changes are also different."
"But! This kind of change from the genetic level will basically turn into a monster, just like the zombies outside, who only have the idea of ​​eating and spreading viruses, and... Yang Weiben, who mutated today, should be special, and what happened to him
The different mutations of ordinary zombies. According to my guess, those zombies are combined with viruses and are in a marginal state. Yang Weiben has opened the genetic lock and has become another kind of creature."
He paused, looked at Deng Yun, and said slowly: "Since last year, a new type of influenza has been circulating around the world, infecting almost everyone around the world. I have it in my body, you have it in your body, and many people have it.
Some people have turned into the first batch of zombies, and some people are still normal. Today Yang Weiben is in the third situation, turning into a monster."
"Now, there is another possibility, that is, you are still in a normal state, but your genes are changing in a controllable direction." Zhang Huajiu scratched his bald forehead and continued, "This is also what I said to you at the beginning.
As a guess, I wonder if Lao Deng injected you with medicine to maintain a stable change."
Deng Yun's heart was beating wildly. Although Uncle Hua Jiu didn't guess the system, he probably guessed the nature of his own system. Maybe the existence of the system is to guide me to evolve normally.
"Huh... finally someone can let me say these words." Zhang Hua took a long breath. These things cannot be said to ordinary people. First, they will not understand, and second, they will cause panic. Deng Yun is different. He has obviously mutated.
It would be good for him to know this.
Deng Yun took a deep breath and came to see Uncle Hua Jiu. Although he didn't meet his father, he heard very important information and it was a worthwhile trip.
"Okay, let's talk about your father. Did he directly turn into a zombie?" Zhang Huajiu said in a serious tone, wanting to know about his friend's situation.
Deng Yun quickly waved his hand and told the story of Tianxia Group tracking his father.
