Top floor restaurant.

A curtain of light swept across the captain's body.

At the same time, the scanning result was displayed on the simulated light screen at the other end: a patch of green.

There are no red areas, no genetic invasion, and all areas of the body are normal.

Instantly, Dr. Luo felt relieved.

Except for the dead Professor Suzuki and Professor Brian who stayed in the isolation room, the other crew members were not parasitized.

"You can use heavy weapons this time."

Not far away, Roger swallowed a piece of steak, turned his head to look at Lu Li sitting next to him, and said:

"By the way, how did the two professors get infected with that thing? They are so ugly."

He searched all the way and finally found the medical area. Before he could feel happy, he was shocked by the scene in the transparent isolation room in the corner.

The fully automatic medical cabin made of anti-collision glass and high-strength alloy was half melted, with an unrecognizable corpse lying on it.

In addition, there was a gray-white mass of flesh in his chest.

"not sure."

Lu Li had a good appetite and ate two whole steaks. While dealing with the stewed blood sausage in front of him, he replied: "But I heard from the captain that it is most likely the fungal spore sample that Professor Suzuki brought on board."

"Fungi spores...refer to mushrooms, are they the mushrooms that are often used in Chinese cuisine?"

Roger's face was full of surprise. He really couldn't accept that the gray-white parasites were mushroom spores.

"Probably."

Although Lu Li was almost certain that the culprit was spores, he couldn't explain the reason. He couldn't just say "I saw it in a movie or TV series," right?

[Black water: AO-2959X.91-15, chemical liquid, gene catalyst, a viscous liquid often found in ampoule-like bottles made of amphibole material. Once any organism comes into contact with this substance, it will cause damage centered on the contact part.

, the overall sudden mutation accelerates the evolution and development of infected cells.

Colour: Black

Characteristics: High contamination, ultra-high contagiousness, ultra-high risk]

Naturally, it is impossible for this kind of substance to be put on the dissecting table, but after dissecting alien corpses for a whole week, everyone thought that they would encounter this kind of creature in the next exam, so they studied it with great concentration.

Among them, a fungal spore was mentioned.

When the concentration of black water is too high, it will infect surrounding vegetation, and fungi are one of them.

However, plants are different from animals.

Black water creates a delicate symbiotic balance with them, that is, plants can perform photosynthesis and continue to purify the planet.

However, when living things pass by, the black water absorbed by the plants will diffuse into the air through sporangia and other organs...

The ears, mouth, and nose can all become breakthrough points for the virus.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Lu Li was holding his knife and fork motionless, Roger couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it in front of his eyes.

When things have evolved to this point, Lu Li must actively deal with it without being suspected. He said frankly: "I just think the protection plan can be improved a little bit."

"Two two-person teams take turns guarding the isolation room to ensure that the parasite does not escape and cause trouble."

"In addition, we should learn from Professor Suzuki's lesson. When exploring scientific research areas and looking for sources of disease, we should wear protective clothing with a built-in independent air system."

In order to avoid large-scale casualties, Lu Li racked his brains and took advantage of his foresight to make frequent suggestions.

Just then, Dr. Luo, who came over to share the table with a dinner plate, heard these words and responded: "Mr. Lu is very strict. If we hadn't heard your reminder, we might have ignored this."

"It's too much praise. Everyone on the medical team is an expert. They will definitely make good preparations when exploring the scientific research area."

Lu Li is not a person with low emotional intelligence. When others greet him with a smile, he will naturally raise his hand.

In this way, the three of them chatted while eating, and became much closer.

But most of the time, Lu Li and Dr. Rhodes were chatting. Roger, a muscular man, acted as a background, listening silently, sighing from time to time, and becoming increasingly wary of the mysterious spore virus.

In addition, Rod and Roger are not from the same family.

The former is a pure human being of Asian descent. Although he has not yet broken free from the genetic lock, his strength is pretty good. After two rounds of testing, he has a high probability of succeeding in the third round.

The latter is a modified person with a face made of bionic metal. Judging from the outline, his ancestors should be Westerners. Except for the original internal organs, other areas have been updated at least once. Let's not talk about whether the alien can break through this defense. If

If it goes in, it will most likely cause stunted growth due to the lack of nutrients.

"We have tried our best to prevent the spread of panic, but... we have had little success."

Dr. Luo put down his dinner plate, looked up and looked around. Most of the crew members hurriedly finished their meal and left. Only the captain, first mate, and members of the medical team were left in the restaurant.

Hearing this, Lu Li felt something in his heart. He thought of the vampire world, a ridiculous copy where bureaucracy was prevalent and capital was rampant. He said in a deep voice: "It's a normal reaction. In fact, it's good to be a little nervous. It can avoid numbness and stupidity."

"really."

The big man Roger nodded in agreement. He has led teams on interstellar missions all year round and has rich experience. He has seen many people and things.

"Just now Huozhong has taken ten more air samples, and the test results show that everything is normal in the scientific research area."

At this time, the captain also came over with a plate, and seemed to want to join this energetic small group.

"What are the testing standards?"

Lu Li looked very curious.

The captain shrugged, saying that he didn't know either, because in his understanding, the result given by Tinder was the standard answer.

"The components in the sample are matched with the database to exclude unknown elements and dangerous elements."

The sound came from the watch.

In order to contact Lu Li in time, Huo Zhong hacked into the system and added himself to the contact list.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li didn't care much about this surveillance-like behavior. Anyway, as long as he didn't draw his own blood and took it for testing, that would be fine.

"So, the scientific research room is safe?"

Dr. Luo frowned. He hoped to find the source of the disease so that he could study it and create a vaccine.

"uncertain."

The Huozhong did not give a definite answer. After all, it is not an omniscient and omnipotent god.

the other side.

Under the protection of two modified humans, female doctor Amy began research on alien stillbirths.

"Is this an exoskeleton?"

"The body is wrapped with bones. This physiological structure really subverts scientific understanding."

Amy murmured to herself.

Her tone was full of surprise, but she did not fall into madness and wanted to figure out the truth at all costs.
